Chapter 67: The Blood Continues to Flow
That same evening.
"Ma, don't they sleep?"
Yang Xin looked outside speechlessly, countless strange figures moving in the moonlight.
The second round of Jiannu's offensive begins.
But unlike the first time, in order to defend against the arrows shot from the city wall, these Jiannu were all covered with multiple layers of heavy armor, and they lowered their heads and dragged a long ladder to quickly approach the city wall, looking like a group of crawling turtles.
This tactic works.
The arrows shot from the city wall could hardly cause real damage to them, and seventy or eighty pounds of cotton iron armor were pressed on their backs, and it was estimated that even if the arquebus was far away, it might not be able to shoot through. The Yehebu soldiers continued to shoot sharp arrows, but although they pierced many Jiannu like hedgehogs, they could not stop them from moving forward. Although the pace of this advance was slow, they were really approaching the city walls, and once they got close to the walls, it was a full-scale onslaught.
"Take my mace!"
Yang Xin roared without hesitation.
The two Yehebu soldiers next to him immediately handed him two maces.
One can no longer satisfy him.
"We'll hold the walls, you just have to mess with them!"
Kim Tae-gil said.
"Understood!"
After Yang Xin finished speaking, he jumped down very simply.
The moment he landed, dozens of sharp arrows shot at the same time, but they were useless to him.
The whole iron armor on this guy's body is two layers, and another layer is added to the original wrought iron plate, adding up to more than 70 catties, and tonight he has an extra cotton iron armor, a total of no less than 100 catties of protection, and then buckle the iron surface, that is a mobile fortress.
Dense feathered arrows pierced into the cotton armor also create a hedgehog effect.
He roared and ran forward.
"Kill this demon!"
Not far away, there was a roar.
Immediately after that, hundreds of Jiannu in front of them threw away the burdens on their bodies at the same time, and each of them held a battle axe in both hands to complete the encirclement in an instant.
Clearly, this was directed at him.
The first one of his thirty or so, holding the same battle axe in both hands, rushed to Yang Xin in a blink of an eye, and at the same time that the latter whipped a Jiannu away with a mace, he picked up the axe and slashed it on the head. Yang Xin's left mace was pumped horizontally, but he suddenly hit the same mace on the other side, and the target of this mace was not him, but his mace. The two maces collided in an instant, even with Yang Xin's strength, the mace was inevitably deflected, and the next moment the big axe fell, and he could even see the cruel smile on the face of the Jiannu on the other side.
Yang Xin suddenly accelerated and took a step forward, crashing into his arms at once.
The latter's axe swept behind his head, and both arms smashed on his shoulders at the same time, and the battle axe immediately fell on Yang Xin's back, and the next moment Yang Xin's head wearing a phoenix-winged helmet slammed into his head......
The man immediately fell backwards.
At the same time, two battle axes slashed down behind Yang Xin's back, Yang Xin turned around with him instantly, and the two battle axes immediately slashed into his back.
The man woke up in agony and let out a heart-rending scream.
The two people in the back hurriedly drew their axes.
Yang Xin's chest slammed into the two people behind him with two battle axes, and before the two people could retreat, the mace in Yang Xin's hand immediately swept over......
At the same time that he was entangled in the tomahawk hands, the two sides of the Kennu rushed straight through, and then began to attack the city wall, and Kim Tae-gil led his soldiers to continue to resist desperately. In the end, they don't want to be conquered by others, even ordinary soldiers are just a little less psychological, but to say that they are willing to be conquered by wild boar skins is nonsense.
Jiannu's attack was still a bloody battle.
Especially Yang Xin's bravery below gave a great stimulus to the Yehe soldiers, and everyone who helped them was like this, and it would be a shame for them to cower again, and the two armies of rat tails launched a bloody fight on this rammed earth city wall that was not too high, and the dead bodies continued to accumulate under the city wall, and blood also flowed on the city wall. Even the women of the Yehebe joined in, and the stones thrown by the women were no different from those thrown by the men, and the corpses of the Jiannu piled up more and more under the walls. After all, the ant siege is the most rudimentary means after all, and no matter whether the Jiannu are brave or not, it can't change the fact that they have to suffer huge casualties.
However......
Yang Xin, who was covered in blood, suddenly fought his way out of the encirclement.
Immediately after that, his eyes fell on the city wall not far away, where Jiannu's main attack was located, and there were even people who rushed up to the city wall and started a bloody battle with Yehe's army on the city wall.
But there are people digging under the walls.
These people were covered by shields on their heads, like rats under the protection of turtle shells, and they might not be visible from the city walls because of the angle, but the earth they dug up kept being thrown outward, and even people kept getting in to replace the exhausted......
Yang Xin rushed straight over without hesitation.
"They're going to blow up the walls!"
He yelled at him.
Almost at the same time, the tomahawkers again surrounded him bravely.
However, Jin Taiji had already heard it, he just didn't notice it in the chaotic battle, and now he understood the enemy's intentions at a glance, and with his anxious roar, the elite led by his ministers opened the city gate again and went out, but the Jiannu cavalry that was forming a formation at the city gate immediately rushed straight forward. A dense array of feathered arrows from the walls were fired at the cavalry, but the latter's courageous charge quickly stopped their vassals, and the cavalry of both sides fought a bloody battle at the city gates. Yang Xin's two maces were also wielding wildly, desperately killing those Jiannu who were digging holes, but at this time he really understood that no matter how much a person could fight, it would be difficult to change anything on such a battlefield.
More than 200 of Jiannu's most elite soldiers entangled him to the death, and no matter how many he killed, the rest still fought to the death.
This is the pinnacle of Jiannu.
These barbarians, who grew up in the mountains and forests, and have been in the company of wild beasts in the bitter cold and hunger since childhood, have already turned themselves into wild beasts, and once they enter the state of fighting, they become hungry wolves that pounce on their prey, only knowing how to bite and kill, and not afraid of death.
This is the real barbarian.
He and Kimtaiji watched as Kennu stuffed a powder keg into the city walls.
The Yehebu soldiers on the city wall fled in panic to both sides, and the Jiannu under the city wall also turned around and fled in a hurry, and the next moment the flames were like fiery red monsters, instantly tearing apart the rammed earth city wall. Countless fragments, accompanied by fire and smoke, flew out in the explosion like the sky and the earth cracked, and even landed in the Jiannu who was dodging, including around Yang Xin. Yang Xin, who has a keen sense of hearing, had to face the fact that such a close-range explosion had more impact on his ears than others, and he couldn't help but scream.
But he was also the first to wake up.
A barrel of gunpowder can't blow up a city wall, even an ordinary rammed earth wall.
Especially this simple way of blasting.
In fact, after the smoke cleared, it could be seen that the explosion only caused a large collapse on the city wall, forming a slope like a landslide, but this was enough for Jiannu to rush up, and the first sober Yang Xin shook the mace in his hand left and right, smashing over the two Jiannu who had not yet woken up from the impact of the explosion, and at the same time rushed towards this slope.
Those Jiannu have sobered up.
Everyone around them rushed to the slope.
Zhou Yuji was the first to wake up on the city wall, shouting and urging those Yehe soldiers as he rushed towards this fatal gap, followed by Kim Tae-gil and the others......
Fortunately, racing is Yang Xin's forte.
He threw two maces and came to the gap in a blink of an eye, a Jiannu next to him arrived almost at the same time, the spear in his hand pierced him in the ribs, Yang Xin grabbed a spear shaft and pumped him on the head, and then jumped up the slope, turned around and stabbed the spear through the chest of a Jiannu, and the second Jiannu immediately killed, and the spear in Yang Xin's hand contracted and stabbed out like lightning, directly piercing his neck. Condescendingly, he completely controlled the gap, which was only more than a foot wide, and the spear was like a cobra attacking its prey, contracting and stabbing out with extreme speed, and those crazy impacting Jiannu all fell in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Zhou Yuji was the first to arrive.
He joined the assassination with spears in his hand, followed by more Yehebu soldiers, whose arrival immediately blocked the gap, and the attacking Jiannu was blocked below, becoming a target for archers on the city walls, and the dead bodies piled up in the blink of an eye......
An old man of about sixty behind Jiannu turned away hatefully.
"Collect the troops!"
He said.
"Great Khan, you can't fight like this anymore!"
A veteran of about the same age beside him said with a solemn face.
"Bring Delgrad and let him go to the city to persuade him to surrender, Jintaiji will seal Baylor if he surrenders, hold a banner, and kill him if Jintaiji does not surrender!"
Wild boar skin said.
"But he just won't surrender?"
The veteran said cautiously.
"If you don't surrender, we will continue to attack, and if we don't destroy Ye He, we won't be able to go south!"
Wild boar skin said.
"But even if Ye He is destroyed, our losses are also very large, since Fried Flower sent people to help Jintaiji, it is very likely that the five parts of Karakha will come together, and the south is also increasing troops, it is said that the new Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi is already rushing to Liaoyang, this person is not easy to deal with. In Lao Chen's opinion, our harvest this time is enough, at least there will be no shortage this winter, why do we have to take such a risk, take the grain harvested in Kaiyuan and Tieling, destroy these two cities and withdraw to Hetuala, and wait for the spring of next year to attack Shenyang after the winter. ”
The veteran said.
"Turg just died in battle, right?"
Instead of answering his question, Boar Skin asked.
"Lao Chen has more than a dozen sons, each of whom is willing to die for the Great Khan, not only the son of Lao Chen, but everyone in the Niu Colu clan is willing to die for the Great Khan!"
The veteran said very solemnly.
"He is also my son, he was killed by that demon, we have to avenge this revenge, tomorrow when we take Delgrad to persuade him to surrender, he said that as long as Jin Taiji sends the head of that demon, we will withdraw the army, as for the rest, we will talk about it later, this time we will stop here, and we will say this in front of everyone in the city, including that demon!"
Boar Skin patted him on the shoulder and said.
