Chapter 60: The Gutter Capsizes [3]

In the capital of Yanqi Kingdom, Liu Xiu looked at the information sent from the front line, a proud smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he said disdainfully: "Wuwei General, you can't even enter the door." ”

In the past few years, Liu Xiu has been going well, he seems to have forgotten that speaking is also an art, and sometimes it is easy to be slapped in the face if he talks too much.

He Feng and Guo Qin'er were in the camp tent thinking hard about the opportunity to make up for their achievements overnight, but they had no clue, until a scout sent a new battle report.

According to the war report, the Yanqi State is a national expedition, and now the front-line generals have not returned, and the defenders in the national capital can completely ignore the law, so please march quickly and capture the city to avoid losses.

Looking at the battle report in their hands, He Feng and Guo Qin, who had no way out, were so excited that they almost didn't shout out, they hurriedly mobilized the army and galloped day and night.

Compared with the land of the Central Plains, Yanqi is just a small place, but people are also one of the great powers in the Western Regions, there is no shortage of defense, although the city wall is adobe battlements, but the wall is two meters thick, four points five meters high, there are city gates in the southeast and southwest, and there are huge adobe arrow towers all around, and there is a moat as a natural line of defense.

Although the materials of this national capital are poor, but its pattern is not worse than any Xiongguan in the Central Plains, He Feng and Guo Qin are timid, if the information of the scouts is not accurate, they will attack rashly, and they will lose completely.

Hit it right away or scout and then hit it. Hit it right away or scout and then hit it. These two answers are like a magic spell in the minds of He Feng and Guo Qin, but time passes little by little, and once the opportunity passes, there is nothing.

If you fight, you will die nine times, and if you don't fight, you will die ten times, He Feng and Guo Qin's two generals grinded for a long time, and finally reached the goal and ordered the army to attack the city.

"Knock, knock, knock!" In the arrow tower, the alarm bell rang suddenly, endlessly. In the study, Liu Xiu, who was writing down the step-by-step plan with a pen, hurriedly threw down the brush in his hand, and summoned Pang Meng to rush to the arrow tower with his personal guards to look into the distance.

The dust outside the capital of Yanqi was flying, and the black sea of people made Liu Xiu's face extremely ugly.

"Lord, please order a retreat, we can't hold this city." The disparity in strength was too great, Pang Meng suggested abandoning the city as soon as possible, but Liu Xiu had other plans in his heart, ordering a personal guard to mobilize the only dozen scouts of the Yanqi Kingdom to come over, and the rest of the nearly 100 personal guards were mixed with the Yanqi defenders, and a group of five people set up bows to prepare for battle, while the generals of the original Yanqi defenders were sent to collect the people in the city to transport heavy objects on the city wall and enrich the armament.

"All the soldiers obeyed the order, and when the puppet army stepped into the firing range, they would immediately scatter, and once the enemy army approached the moat, the scattering would immediately change to point fire, and the enemy army must not be allowed to get close to the city wall." After the order was issued, the scouts of the Yanqi Kingdom also came, and Liu Xiu opened his mouth to ask if there was the latest information about the dragon-shaped monarch, one of the scouts happened to have just entered the city, according to his description, the dragon-shaped monarch was rushing back to the national capital, and the time would be eight hours at the earliest.

Eight hours! Except for the immortals, it is impossible for anyone to rely on hundreds of troops to hold on for so long, Liu Xiu very resolutely issued an order to all the scouts that cannot be missed: "I don't care what methods you use, you must send the information of the national capital to the dragon-shaped monarch within half an hour, and let him come to the rescue within four hours, otherwise let him rush to collect the corpses of the people of the whole country." ”

"Whoa!" The scouts also knew the gravity of the situation, and they all yelled and took the order.

"Lord, this city can't be defended!" Pang Meng shouted but ushered in Liu Xiu's scolding: "You shut up for me, if you dare to disturb the morale of the army, I will kill you." ”

"My lord, Marshal Wang once said that it is foolish to do what you know you can't do, and to know that the king is wrong and not to persuade is foolish, and the last general begs you to take back your fate." If Pang Meng knew that he would be able to persuade Liu Xiu to calm down, he should never have used Wang Sunqing's words to stimulate Liu Xiu, so that the trend of the whole situation completely deviated from his original intention, and the rampaging Liu Xiu directly called someone to drag Pang Meng down.

"Lord, this city cannot be defended! This city cannot be defended! ”

After dealing with Pang Meng, Liu Xiu's gaze returned to the battlefield. The whole battle had already started as early as the enemy army rushed into the attack range, and the veterans, as the main force, calmly carried out Liu Xiu's orders, 600 against 10,000, and the dangerous situation of the battlefield can be imagined.

"Put, put, put!" The sound of the veteran's orders floated everywhere on the battlefield, but the number of enemy troops was too large, and the sharp arrows shot could not suppress their advance at all.

Something terrible happened, the entire moat was suddenly stained red with blood, and the soldiers of the cloud echelon who had entered the water only made a slight splash and disappeared without a trace.

In many cases, people can not be frightened in the face of the rain of arrows in the sword mountain, but they are extremely afraid of the unknown danger, and now many besieging soldiers would rather face the rain of arrows with shields than cross the moat, that is, they are afraid of the unknown danger under the water.

In the face of this situation, some generals will order to continue the strong attack, and some generals will collect their troops and then make deployments, but the two generals He Feng and Guo Qin can rely on the sound of the horn to make the siege soldiers change their formations in the battle. The cloud echelons began to retreat, the shield teams began to line up to cover, and the baggage teams appeared on the battlefield with a pile of sandbags, their goal was to block the water source of the moat.

The enemy seized a point and attacked, the purpose was very clear, the guards on the city wall automatically and consciously concentrated in piles, desperately pulling their longbows to shoot, but everything was to no avail. Enemy Ants Move - The speed of the river filling caused the water level of the moat to drop rapidly.

There were no man-eating monsters under the moat, only dense stakes, and the corpses of the Cloud Echelon soldiers were also inserted.

When the unknown danger became known, all fears dissipated, and the besieging soldiers did not need to wait for orders at all, and began to fill the river with all their strength.

"Steady, don't be anxious and don't be timid, the puppet dynasty can't attack." Seeing that the guards on the city wall were already panicking, Liu Xiu could only personally suppress the formation to avoid the collapse of the army's morale.

The black-pressed siege army crossed the moat, erected a ladder and began to forcibly take the city.

Tree stumps, stones, and hot gold juice, which had been prepared for a long time, were overwhelmingly smashed on the ladder and under the city walls.

Hand-to-hand combat, no one is pleased, Liu Xiu is wielding a long knife to kill the enemy, while observing the trend of the war, he is waiting, waiting for the moment when he can launch a fatal blow, but reality has not reserved this time for him at all. With more and more gaps in the city walls and increasing casualties among the guards, Liu Xiu could only order the arrows to be fired to destroy the only dam in Yanqi Kingdom.
