Chapter 1566: Pound arrives
Zhong Yan muttered: "If the reinforcements don't come again, Fuping will really be difficult to hold." ”
Fuping is now not only a city of the Han people, but also the hope of tens of thousands of people, but all the defenders in the city naturally do not want the people to be like the Han people in the hands of the Qiang people outside the city.
On the second day of Qingzhuang's participation in the defense of the city, the city wall fell into crisis several times, if it were not for Zhong Yan to lead the soldiers to kill again and again, the city wall would have already fallen into the hands of the Qiang people, and in one day, the defenders paid a heavy price, including Qingzhuang, the defenders only had 300 people.
The Qiang attacked from two walls, which meant that there were only 150 defenders on one wall, so that when defending against the Qiang, they would fall into a dangerous situation, and once the Qiang dispersed to attack, it would be difficult for the defenders to defend effectively.
In terms of the elite of the soldiers, the Han soldiers are difficult to compare with the Qiang people, which is obvious to all, and after the Qiang people climbed the city wall in large numbers, it was a nightmare for the Han army.
Zhong Yan said: "We are under the command of the King of Jin, even if you are dead, what does it matter, you are soldiers in the army, even if you face the strongest enemy army, do not retreat, even if you die in battle, you are also a warrior under the command of the King of Jin." ”
The atmosphere on the city wall is a little dignified, the generals of the army who threatened to go out of the city to fight with the Qiang people, but also kept silent, this is the gap in strength, relying on the city, it is still so difficult, not to mention going out of the city to fight, even after their reinforcements arrive, I am afraid they can only stick to the city wall, consuming the strength of the Qiang army.
"Regardless of whether there are reinforcements or not, we should do our best to defend the city against the Qiang army, that is, to protect the people in the city." Zhong Yan said slowly.
"Willing to fight to the death with the general!" The generals beside Zhong Yan roared in a firm tone.
Zhong Yan nodded with satisfaction, the situation in the city is very critical, I am afraid that it will be difficult to complete the defense of the city today, and how many familiar faces have died in the hands of the Qiang people.
"Bring General Ben's spear." Zhong Yan said slowly.
"General, you are the main general in the city, if you go to war, who will command?" Adjutant said.
Zhong Yan said with a smile: "Now there are not many defenders in the city, there is no need for the command of the general, and the general is the main general in the army, so he should fight bravely to kill the enemy. ”
The adjutant general was silent when he heard this.
This kind of battle, so that the tacit understanding between the officers and soldiers in the army, in the rapid rise, their strength has also been improved in the battle, war, so that the soldiers in the army become more elite, but to become the elite, the price paid is heavy.
"Kill, after the capture of Fuping, everything in the city is ours." Dian Ling raised the long knife in his hand and shouted.
The Qiang people launched a crazy attack on Fuping again, their expressions revealed fanaticism and yearning, after seizing the city, the things of the Han people in the city are the Qiang people, and even the people of the Han people are also their trophies.
Looking at the situation of the Qiang people's attack, Dian Ling nodded with satisfaction, and now the defense of the Han soldiers in the city can be described as sparse, and the young and strong people joined in, so that the Qiang people spent an extra day, otherwise, the army would have broken the city yesterday.
Dian Ling was even thinking about how to deal with the defending generals in the city after breaking through the city, and they dared to resist like this, making the Qiang people pay a heavy price, if such characters were not punished, wouldn't it have fueled the arrogance of the Han army.
The situation on the city wall became urgent again, and by noon, the two sides had a fierce battle on the wall, and the Qiang wanted to completely control the wall, but the defenders did not give an inch.
After learning the news that the Qiang army was besieging Fuping, Pang De asked Niu Fu to be in charge of the affairs of the army, and he led 3,000 cavalry to Fuping, even if Pang De understood that at the speed of cavalry, after arriving at Fuping, it is likely that the city has been breached, but as long as there is hope, he will not give up easily, Fuping City, but there are tens of thousands of Han people.
Pound kept urging the cavalry to speed up.
The Xianbei cavalry faced Pang De's order, but did not dare to disobey in the slightest, over the years, Pang De has established absolute prestige among the Xianbei people, and is definitely the first person after the King of Jin.
How many Xianbei soldiers died in the process of Pound's training of cavalry, in order to make the Xianbei cavalry more sophisticated, Pound led the Xianbei cavalry to battle several times, and the rebellion of Fuyu and Goguryeo was suppressed by these Xianbei people.
Of course, after conquering the city, the Xianbei soldiers received many rewards.
Some of the patriarchs of the Xianbei tribe did not have any joy after seeing this situation, they knew that if this continued, the Xianbei people could only become the tools of the Han people to fight, and the Xianbei people needed to pay a heavy price on the battlefield.
Ordinary Xianbei cavalry, but not as far-sighted as the tribal patriarch, they need victory, they are eager to win, they are not only afraid of Pound, but also have awe.
Under the constant urging of Pang De, he finally saw the Fuping city wall not far away, from Niyang to Fuping, there are six hundred miles, the road is not as flat as Bingzhou, and at the speed of cavalry, it was only three days later to see the Fuping city wall.
Seeing the Han army flags fluttering on the city's head, Pang De's expression did not relax, because they heard the sound of fighting on the city's head.
"Kill it!" Pound ordered without hesitation.
The arrival of 3,000 Xianbei cavalry caused a lot of turmoil in the Qiang army, although there were cavalry in the Qiang army, but there were only 500 people, even if it was 500 people, it was already an extremely strong force, when the army of the Han Dynasty fought with the Qiang people, the cavalry of the Qiang people did not make the Han army suffer.
Now seeing so many cavalry, their shock can be imagined, the most important thing is that these cavalry are actually wearing the banner of the Han army and wearing the black clothes of the soldiers under the command of the King of Jin.
And today, except for the King of Jin, the soldiers of the rest of the princes still follow the previous rules, and the soldiers wear crimson clothes.
Black gives people a sense of solemnity and a sense of oppression.
"Command the cavalry to go into battle." Dian Ling hurriedly issued an order, and at the same time ordered the army to stop attacking Fuping, and what the Qiang people had to do at present was not to break through the city, but how to retreat in the hands of the cavalry who suddenly arrived.
