Chapter 110: Assault
The next day, Xuansu County, Goguryeo.
"My lord, it's not a good thing to ......, Zhang Liao's thieves' soldiers and horses have already rushed out of the city......
It's past noon, the county is busy dealing with government affairs, and before he can even take care of eating, he was scared half to death by this thunderbolt on a sunny day, how could he be born so quickly, didn't he say that he could only go to Xuansu County tonight?
How could Lu Bu not know the truth of the speed of the soldiers, although there are not many soldiers under him now, there are a lot of war horses, and one person and one horse is more than enough, and others underestimate his mobility ability.
The county Cheng hurriedly rushed up to the city tower, and saw the cavalry outside the east gate, and had already set up a formation, a thousand cavalry for the front, on alert, a team of men and horses in the rush to build siege equipment, a team of men and horses in the place to set up camp, each with a clear division of labor, orderly, a leading member of the general is majestic, it is Zhang Liao.
"My lord, I'm afraid that the thieves will attack the city tomorrow......"
The castle guard said worriedly.
The county is already an ant on a hot pot, looking at the formation, you can know that Zhang Liao's thieves will not give up if they don't break Goguryi, presumably Zhang Liao's thieves have also found out what is going on, and they know that Goguryi has no heavy troops to garrison.
"You must guard the city gate, and when you don't drive your lord back to the army, it will not be a trouble, and you will closely monitor the movements of the enemy army, and I will go to the city to gather men to help defend the city."
The county man hurriedly got off the city tower and went back to his house to dispatch, and his stomach was also grunting with hunger, and he didn't know that he was hungry.
After nightfall, Lu Bu with a thousand wolf cavalry, 3,000 soldiers and horses of the battalion of the captain of Dongyi also rushed to come, accompanied by more than a dozen siege vehicles, outside the east gate of Goguryi, there was already a sea of people, and the war horses were dashing, and the entire Goguryi city was already frightened.
The next day, after a night's rest, LΓΌ Bu launched an inevitable attack on the east gate of Goguryi, and he wanted to break through the city of Goguryi in one fell swoop, and then fight Yangyi.
This is a war against time, and it is also a war that completely goes out of the outside of the fortress and returns to the Central Plains.
In the continuous sound of the horn, a group of armored soldiers of the Captain Captain Battalion of Hudongyi swarmed out of the large camp and entered the wasteland outside the east gate of Goguryi to set up a formation.
The last to appear was Zhang Liao's three thousand wolf cavalry.
Under the protection of the banner that covers the sky and the sun, a war horse like a flame roared into the army array, and Lu Bu was like a vigorous century-old pine, standing proudly in the military array.
Suddenly, Lu Bu raised his right hand and pressed it forward gently, and at the same time said lightly: "Attack." β
Suddenly, the continuous sound of the horn stopped abruptly, and after a momentary pause, the dense war drums rushed into the sky, and its momentum was enough to pierce the golden cracked stone, which made people's blood boil, and the soldiers of the three thousand armored soldiers of the battalion of the commander of the Dongyi Colonel followed with a roar, and while roaring, they also beat the shield with their swords quite rhythmically, or with their halberds: "Roar! Roar! Roar ......"
The next moment, the front row of armor soldiers have shrunk their formations, giving way to one passage after another, and the archers who have been waiting for a long time immediately held their bows and arrows, and walked through the passage made by the armor soldiers at random steps to the front of the formation, accompanied by a terrible long howl, all the archers brushed their bows and arrows, and Leng Sensen's arrows were already aimed at the city in front.
"Whew...... Ha! β
There was another terrible howl, and a thousand archers released their bowstrings almost simultaneously.
In an instant, thousands of feathered arrows had already swept into the air, and swept through the sky with a sharp breaking sound, and finally turned into an endless rain of arrows, falling towards the head of Goguryi City.
At the head of the city of Goguryi, the veterans who had experienced the battlefield had already hidden behind the battlements, or under the shields, but the recruits composed of the elite men who had just gathered did not know the strength of the archers of the Lu Bu army, and they were all still pestled on the head of the city to look down at the excitement.
"Fucking crawl down and hide."
The guard shouted urgently.
"Woo Woo ......"
The rain of arrows finally fell from the sky, and the recruits fell one by one.
The recruits immediately screamed like pigs: "Ahh......hh
"Oh damn it, my eyes, help, help me......"
One of the recruits covered his eyes stiffly, and a feather arrow was stuck between his fingers, and red blood gushed from it, and after only two screams, the recruit fell to the ground in a pool of blood.
Not far away, another recruit was even more unlucky, he was directly shot through the head by the volley of feather arrows, sharp arrows from the door of the head, and straight through the back of the head, red blood and white brains were gushing out of the wound cut by the three-edged arrow cluster, the recruit didn't even say a word, and fell headlong on the city.
The other two recruits standing next to them were startled when they saw this, and turned to run, but before they could run a few steps, another wave of arrows fell from the sky and nailed them to the top of the city.
Soon, a continuous wail sounded over the head of Goguryi.
The recruits, who had neither iron armor and shields to protect themselves nor experienced in self-protection, were severely damaged by the first two waves of arrows from the archers of the Lu Bu army, and at least 200 of the more than 300 recruits guarding the city fell in pools of blood, and at least 50 of them were shot on the spot, forever losing the opportunity to grow into a veteran.
However, under the threat of death, the recruits also quickly learned how to protect themselves.
When the third wave of arrows from the archers of Lu Bu's army fell, in addition to the stunned muscles in their heads, most of the recruits found a place to hide, and those who really couldn't find a place to hide did not stand and wait for death, but dragged the recruits who had been shot prematurely to cover their bodies, among them, one of the recruits was dragged away as a meat shield before he even lost his breath.
Seeing this cold and cruel scene, the veterans laughed silently.
There has never been iron and blood on the battlefield, there has never been mercy and mercy, only if the heart is ruthless enough and the hands are black enough, it is possible to survive the cruel war!
After shooting twelve arrows, the archers of Lu Bu's army began to retreat.
In this battle, Lu Bu already planned to hollow out his own family, and also to take the city before Yangyi returned to Gaoguli, once he occupied the stronghold of Gaoguli, he could compete with Yangyi without fear.
The defenders at the head of the city of Goguryi were already small in number, and now a group of new soldiers had died tragically, and everyone looked at the guards in fear.
The guard is also heavy-faced, this battle is not easy to fight! Now there are less than 1,000 defenders in the city of Goguryi, and it is difficult for the Qiao woman to cook without rice, so she only hopes to hold on for a day or two to wait for reinforcements.
