Chapter 929: Chestnut in the Fire (2)

"It's too slow......"

Han General Jin Di muttered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

He wasn't referring to the fact that the Storm Kite Army hadn't come to support so far, he was referring to the pace of the Wei Army's attack.

Recalling that half a month ago, when the Wei army took advantage of the smoke and rain to sneak attack Pigao Pass, the Wei army's offensive at that time was so fierce and rapid that Jin Huang's army could only rush to the wall one after another to send them to death, and use their lives to prevent the Wei army from occupying the wall.

But today, Wei Jun seems a little lazy.

No, the Wei army's catapults have dropped dozens of oil barrel bombs and created dozens of large and small fires in Hyun City, but what about the backbone of the Wei army, those sword and shield soldiers? Unexpectedly, he walked out of the array slowly-saying "go" is a bit of a compliment to these Wei soldiers, which is clearly moving!

It's just a distance of two miles, and there is still one mile left after walking a stick of incense, what are these Wei soldiers doing to eat?

"General." Adjutant General Qingyao reminded in a low voice.

As if seeing through Qingyao's thoughts, Jin Huang shook his head and said, "Don't be impatient." ā€

He knew what Qing Yao meant, it was nothing more than to remind him that those Wei sabers and shield soldiers outside the city were getting closer and closer to the city wall, but Jin Huang didn't see any threat to the Hyun City from these Wei troops.

It is undeniable that the first offensive of the Wei army put in a total of five infantry phalanxes, each of which had about 1,000 people, in other words, five phalanxes were 5,000 infantry.

For one side of the city wall of Hyun Clan, five thousand infantry is enough to pose a threat.

Of course, the premise is that the other party really intends to forcibly attack the city, as for these Wei soldiers outside the city, Jin Huang can't see that these Wei troops have the intention of attacking the city, although these people are carrying a lot of ladders.

"Are you waiting for the general's 30,000 cavalry, Wei Gongzi Ji Run? …… You're too scared, aren't you?"

Jin Di wanted to laugh a little, because in his eyes, Wei Jun was too trembling.

At this moment, a scene vaguely appeared in his mind: a cunning little fox saw a piece of fresh meat in the place where hunters often haunted, because he did not know that the hunter was hiding around here, so the cunning little fox slowly scratched the piece of meat with his paws, and looked around alertly with each stroke, ready to turn around and flee at any time.

Isn't that the Wei army at this moment?

Little by little, he launched an offensive against the Hyun clan, just to lure out the 30,000 cavalry of the Storm Kite.

I don't know how long it took, and the Wei army's crossbow army phalanx also gradually marched towards Hunshi County.

What is puzzling is that this time these Wei crossbowmen used a somewhat strange formation when they marched towards Hunshi County, the crossbowmen on the north side used a very conventional phalanx, but the Wei crossbowmen on the south side actually used a line formation facing south.

For Hyun City, the crossbowmen of the Wei army on the south side took the form of a 'one-word vertical formation'.

How can there be a reason to use a one-word vertical array to attack a city?

Like this formation, the Wei crossbowmen on the south side could not give full play to it at all.

Jin Di would never believe that a character like Ji Run, the son of Wei, would commit such a completely unreasonable negligence.

Then the truth of the matter is obvious: the Wei soldiers on the south side of the battlefield were used to guard against the 30,000 cavalry of the Storm Kite, in case the latter suddenly came out and launched a surprise attack on the Wei army.

"What a cunning and cautious little fox...... Jin Di muttered to himself.

The adjutant general Qingyao looked at Jin Huang in surprise when he heard this, and he didn't know what his general was talking about.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he turned his head and glanced south, a little surprise on his face.

"General." Qingyao patted Jin Huang's arm, then pointed to the south and said, "General Tyranny's 30,000 cavalry...... It's here! ā€

Jin Huang frowned when he heard this, and turned his head to look south.

In fact, there was no need for Qingyao to remind him, Jin Huang also felt it, after all, the entire 30,000 cavalry of the Storm Kite Army acted together, as if the whole earth was shaking, how could there be no reason not to feel it.

"It's early......"

Jin Huang said with a wry smile.

At the same time, three or five miles southwest of Hyun City, the 30,000 cavalry led by General Han Storm Kite slowly stopped advancing and stood by.

And General Han Storm Kite took several generals to ride their horses up a small dirt slope, looking at the battle situation in Hyun County in the distance, and his brows furrowed deeply.

In fact, a moment ago, when the scouts in the army returned the news they got from the investigation in this area to the storm kite, the storm kite was still a little incredulous: it was almost time for the Wei army to launch an attack on Hyun County? What about the dawn sneak attack?

Thinking left and right, it doesn't feel right, Han General Storm Kite simply led 30,000 light horsemen to Hyun's County, anyway, no matter what today, there will definitely be a battle between him and the Wei army under the command of Wei Gongzi Ji Run.

After arriving in the area of Hyun City, Storm Kite found that there were about 50,000 or 60,000 Suwang troops in the distance, which can be said to be full of mountains and fields, connecting the sky and the earth. And the funny thing is that these 50,000 or 60,000 Wei troops obviously put on a posture of launching a fierce attack on Hyun County, but they put the center of defense on the south side.

What's more, with the earthquake caused by the approach of 30,000 light horsemen, those Wei sword and shield soldiers who were only one mile away from the city wall of Hyun County actually had some commotion - there was a team of 1,000 people, and somehow they had to retreat back to their own formation.

It's embarrassing.

Jin Di looked at the Wei army outside the city with a funny expression.

The storm kite also looked at the Wei army in the north with a smile.

The Wei army, on the other hand, remained motionless, and even the small Wei army, which had been in a posture to attack Hunshi County, temporarily stopped marching.

The entire battlefield of the three armies seemed to be still.

I don't know how long it took, the Wei army suddenly began to move, and five thousand sword and shield soldiers carrying cloud ladders and two Wei armies with five thousand crossbowmen each slowly advanced towards Hunshi County again.

Seeing this, the look on the face of the violent kite that seemed to be smiling gradually retracted, and he frowned and glanced at the royal flag fluttering in the direction of the Wei army's main formation.

"What arrogant, conceited Wei boy!"

The storm kite snorted softly, and there was a bit of displeasure in his eyes.

In fact, he knew very well that Ji Run, the prince of Wei, was provoking him and forcing him to lead the cavalry to storm the Wei army's defensive line, but he still didn't like it.

"General?" Hua Chang, the rider under the command of Storm Kite, asked tentatively.

Storm Kite shook his head and said lightly, "Wait a little longer." …… I want to see how long Ji Run, the son of Wei, can pretend. ā€

At this time, on the city wall of Hyun County, Jin Huang also clearly saw the scene when the Wei army provoked the violent kite army.

"General, the enemy army is already within a stone's throw of the land." Deputy General Qingyao reminded on the side.

Jin Yan pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Wait a little longer......"

In fact, he was also a little curious: when the 30,000 cavalry of the Storm Kite Army were watching from the sidelines, would that Wei Gongzi Ji Run really do, or rather, dare to launch a fierce attack on Hyun City?

Just as he was thinking, suddenly, there was a loud bang from the Wei army's main formation, and immediately, hundreds of wooden barrels were thrown towards Hyun City.

"What?!"

Jin Di raised his head in horror and looked at the hundreds of wooden barrels that were attacking in the middle of the air in the distance, and his heart pounded with fright.

On this battlefield, no one knew better than the generals of the Jin Army what exactly was in these barrels.

For a while, the generals of the Jin Huang army on the western wall of the Hyun Clan City all looked at the air in shock, because they found that the bombing target of these wooden barrels was actually the western city wall of the Hyun Clan where they were located!

"General be careful!"

Jin Huang's guards were shocked, protected Jin Huang in the middle, and said in a loud voice: "General, retreat quickly!" ā€

Saying that, without waiting for Jin Huang to react, those guards escorted their general down the city wall.

At the same time, the generals of the Jin Huang army on the city wall also urged the soldiers to leave the city wall.

Everyone knew that once the barrels filled with black oil burst around the city walls and a monstrous fire broke out, no one would be able to escape.

Mixed with the countless Jin Huang soldiers who fled the city wall in a hurry, Jin Huang was protected by his guards.

As he walked, Jin Di was still a little dumbfounded in his heart.

He really couldn't understand why the Wei army would suddenly throw hundreds of wooden barrels at the western city wall at such a time, could it be that Wei Gongzi Ji Run changed his mind and was ready to attack the city?

"Something is wrong......

Jin Di, who gradually calmed down, faintly felt that something was wrong, he stopped abruptly and turned his head to look at the city wall behind him.

And at this moment, a wooden barrel crossed the high city wall and smashed three feet away from Jin Di's side.

"General...... Heart......"

The panicked cries of one of the guards immediately turned to confusion and consternation.

Because he saw that after the barrel exploded, what splattered out of it was not the black oil at all, but clear water.

The wooden stick that was originally used to ignite the oil made a gurgling sound when it touched the clear water, and it was extinguished in a blink of an eye.

For a while, the generals of the Jin Huang army who fled from the city wall in a hurry looked at each other: What about the fire?

Who would have thought that this time, these hundreds of wooden barrels were filled with just ordinary water.

It's ridiculous that thousands of soldiers were so frightened by hundreds of wooden barrels filled with clean water that they couldn't even care about the city walls.

ć€Žā€¦ā€¦ć€

In an instant, Han Jiang's face was like ashes.

At this time, a general of the Jin Huang Army shouted: "Not good! Walls! ā€

Hearing this, the thousands of Jin Huang soldiers and generals inside the city wall subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the city wall, and immediately, their faces showed a dull look.

Because at this moment, the west city wall was already full of Wei soldiers, and these Wei soldiers were condescending, showing a bright smile towards the Han soldiers on the inside of the city wall.

Immediately, they raised their crossbows.

"Shoot the arrows!"

As a thousand generals of the Wei army shouted, on the west wall of the city, the Wei soldiers who easily captured the city wall launched a crossbow shot into the city.

Or some Jin Huang soldiers will try to recapture the city wall, but the stairs leading to the city wall are guarded by layers of Wei army's sword and shield soldiers, and the Han army will not be able to rush through at all.

With hundreds of barrels filled with water, the Wei army successfully frightened the Jin Huang generals stationed on the western city wall, and when they fled the city wall in panic, the Wei infantry and crossbowmen outside the city suddenly launched a quick attack and easily captured the western city wall.

Under the nose of 30,000 light horsemen under the command of General Han Tyrant!

At the same time, in the main formation of the Wei State, Zhao Hongrun glanced at the 30,000 cavalry of the Storm Kite Army who were eyeing the south, and grinned maliciously.
