Chapter 124: Takayanagi City is in an emergency!
Daishire.
Takayanagi Castle.
The troops under Tian Yu's command are less than 20,000, and they have to face Xianbei's 140,000 iron cavalry.
If it was an ordinary person, it would have been scared away a long time ago.
Tian Yu has experienced a hundred battles, and he is worried about the people in Gaoliu City, so he is determined to live and die with Gaoliu City. He personally led 5,000 elites to garrison the West Gate and fought a bloody battle against the invading Xianbei.
"Siege!"
The Xianbei leader Kebineng drew his sword and shouted.
Roar, roar, roar...
Tens of thousands of Xianbei soldiers rushed to the city tower with a cloud ladder.
Tian Yu also drew his sword and shouted: "Soldiers, the lord is in Jixian County, and he can help in a few days." They all cheered me up and hit Xianbei hard. Whoever dares to take a step back will be killed! ”
"Think of your relatives, think of your brothers and sisters, all of whom died at the hands of Xianbei. The old and weak women and children in the city are waiting for your triumph. If you are afraid, defeated, and lose this barrier, the iron hooves of Xianbei will set foot on Gaoliu City.... ”
"Soldiers, fight with me!"
"Fight, fight..." The soldiers raised their weapons and shouted.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Seeing that the besieging troops were getting closer and closer, Tian Yu shouted: "Don't let anyone go, defend me to the death!" ”
Whoosh...
Countless arrows flew out of the city and attacked the enemy army.
Puff...
The oncoming Xianbei soldiers were extremely poorly equipped, with no helmets, no armor, and no shields. It's not as good as Zhang Yan's Montenegrin army. The Montenegrin army fought every year and captured a lot of good things. Xianbei relies on cavalry and shooting, and is not heavily armored.
Once a city is attacked and fired at by arrows, it will pay a heavy price.
But.
They are not afraid of death, their morale is high, and they do not take half a step back even if the arrows fly. Soon cross the moat and put the ladder at the head of the city. Climb up the ladder and engage Tian Yu at close range.
"Kill... Poof! Tian Yu personally went into battle and killed two enemy soldiers in a row.
When the soldiers defending the city saw it, they were all enthusiastic and fought desperately.
Outside the city.
In front of the Xianbei army.
"Chief, I heard that more than half of your cattle and sheep have been stolen?" Tuoba Xianbei's leader, Tuoba Liwei Chao Ke Neng, asked.
"Where, where..." Kobi can not admit it.
"Didn't you?"
"Absolutely not!"
Tuobali smiled and said, "Leader Ke doesn't have to hide and guard against me. I'm not going to take advantage of people. In the final analysis, Xianbei is a family. We should work together to expand outward. ”
"Yes, yes..." Kobi nodded.
"Is there any?" Tuoba asked again.
"Yes!"
"Who did it? Is it the Huns? ”
Kebineng took a deep breath and said, "At first..... We also thought it was the Huns. Until two days ago, news came that Yuan Xi returned to Jixian County with more than 3,000 wild wolves. I found out he did it. Leader Liwei, with all due respect, don't underestimate Yuan Xi. This person will resist beasts, our war horses, cattle and sheep, and may be controlled by him at any time. ”
"So evil?"
Tuoba Li was slightly stunned, then smiled: "I don't believe it." Can he really control our horses? ”
"Don't disbelieve, chief. I'm not afraid of your jokes, until now, I don't know how he took our cattle, sheep, and horses away, and I don't know which way he returned to Youzhou from. ”
"You're scared by him, aren't you?"
"Say whatever you want..." Kebi can not argue with the tuoba force.
He had already strictly ordered the iron cavalry of Xianbei in the east to only shoot from a distance when fighting with Yuan Xi, and never approach. If you encounter Yuan Xi himself, you will withdraw immediately, and the farther away you are, the better.
...............
The battle of Takayanagi Castle was raging.
Yuan Xi issued a document in Jixian County, and launched an all-out war with all the foreign races. After that, he personally led 20,000 light cavalry, 10,000 chariots, 3,000 heavy armored iron cavalry, and 3,000 wolf cavalry, and hurried to Gaoliu City, the seat of the county administration.
At the same time, Yan Rou went to Beiping to meet with Badun.
this day.
The Fengshen pterosaur hovered over Xiangping City in eastern Liaodong, attracting the attention of many people.
He Mao and Cui Yan also ran out of the mansion.
Rattle...
After turning around, the Anemo God Pterodactyl threw an official document into the courtyard of the county guard's mansion.
"What?" He Mao picked it up.
"It looks like an official document." Cui Yan opened it and read: "Goguryeo occupied Xuansu County a few days ago. Tuoba Xianbei and Eastern Xianbei are also attacking our Dai County. The thief army is strong, and I have led all my soldiers and horses to meet Xianbei. I ordered the garrisons of Liaodong and Korea to cooperate with us in the battle. Hit Mazishui and attack Goguryeo. ”
Cui Yan finished reading.
He Mao said angrily: "Goguryeo has long had the intention of encroaching, but I didn't expect that they would not attack our Liaodong and Korea, but went west to occupy Xuansu, which is really bold." ”
"If there is no Xianbei to help, how dare he go west?" Cui Yan entered the house with an official document.
"So what now?" He Mao followed.
"What else can I do? According to the lord's instructions, first gather the garrisons in Liaodong and Korea, and then attack Goguryeo. Even if he can't win, he must contain tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and indirectly support the war in Youzhou. Cui Yan said.
"Okay."
He Mao turned around and went to transfer troops.
In just a few days...
The war is raging in Youzhou!
Yuyang was attacked by the Goguryeo army, and Taishou Tianchou fought back.
Before Yan Rou arrived in Beiping, Beiping had already been captured by Wuhuan.
Takayanagi Castle is still holding on.
More than half of Tian Yu's garrison has been killed or wounded, and the young and strong people in the city volunteered to join the army to help Tian Yu defend the city. But the untrained young and strong, where is the opponent of the Xianbei soldiers? Not only are the casualties heavy, but the city is also dangerous.
"Ugh...."
Tian Yu returned home with a sad face.
He summoned his wives and children and his servants, and gave each of them a dagger: "In two hours, the iron horsemen of Xianbei will rush in." None of the people of the city can live. You are my family, and you can't live. Take the dagger and kill yourself if necessary. ”
"Sir..."
His wife and concubine knelt on the ground in front of him.
Tian Yu got up with an indifferent face, touched his youngest son's face, and said to a few guards outside the door: "You guys are staying here, and you see the Xianbei soldiers coming in and sending my family... Hit the road. ”
"No."
The guards answered.
Arrange the funeral.
Tian Yu carried a sword and returned to the battlefield with a roar.
The soldiers defending the city have been killed and wounded!
The Xianbei soldiers took advantage of the weakness to enter, climbed the tower, and engaged some of the civilians. Most of the people rely on a blood bravery, wanting to protect their families, where do they know the danger of the battlefield, let alone know how to cooperate with the battle, and were killed by the Xianbei soldiers who climbed the city tower. Seeing that the city is about to be lost. Tian Yu rushed to the gate of the city and went into battle in person.
"General, general... The Xianbei army withdrew. A moment later, a soldier shouted from the tower.
"What? No way! Tian Yu thought he had misheard, and took the soldiers to the city. I saw that the Xianbei iron cavalry outside the city was retreating in an orderly manner. The Xianbei soldiers who were besieging the city also removed the ladders and pontoon bridges, and followed the army away.
"What's going on?" Tian Yu was shocked.
"Could it be that the lord's army has arrived?" An adjutant said.
