Chapter 296: What about the Qiang cavalry
The arrows on both sides came and went, and from time to time soldiers fell in the city, many of them were young men who had just entered the army, who had never experienced such a brutal battle, and even felt helpless in the face of enemy attacks.
The Qiang are good at bows and arrows, and although they have no advantage in the city, a large number of archers can bring a greater threat to the defenders.
After the ladder is erected, the Qiang people climb up quickly along the ladder, this is the real challenge of life and death, the ladder can directly lead to the city wall, with many dangers, after climbing the city wall, the Qiang people need to deal with the killing of the defenders, and in the process of climbing the ladder, it is also dangerous.
The veteran, who had been prepared for a long time, pushed the ladder down with all his might, although there was a barb hanging from the city on the ladder, he still couldn't withstand such a force.
One after another ladders were knocked down, but there were so many people attacking the city that they seemed to be crazy.
There is a cauldron on the city, which is constantly boiling, and the smell is disgusting.
The two soldiers glanced at each other and poured the contents of the pot down the ladder.
The soldiers who climbed along the ladder needed to look up to observe the situation above, but they were drenched.
A terrible scream suddenly sounded, and it was more terrible than the sound of the soldier who was hit by the wooden boulder.
After an hour of attack, the Qiang people have never been able to attack the city wall, and after there are more means to defend the city, the defenders are a lot easier to deal with such an attack, especially the boiling things in the pot, which are simply sharp weapons on the battlefield, as long as they are contaminated with this thing, it is even more uncomfortable than bows and arrows.
However, it is very difficult to avoid this kind of liquid.
The Qiang soldiers are much worse than the Han soldiers in terms of equipment, and at this time the weather is gradually getting warmer, and many Qiang soldiers only have thin clothes on their bodies, and after being contaminated, they will be injured, and the pain in their hearts is enough to make them lose their combat effectiveness.
News kept coming to the army, Han Sui's brows frowned slightly, the reason why Ji County was besieged was because of Zhao Yun, who came to help, even if Zhao Yun was a cavalryman, with the number and combat effectiveness of the Qiang army, Zhao Yun could be trapped to death in the city.
However, judging from the situation of the confrontation, the defenders showed extremely aggressive methods, which once frustrated the attack of the Qiang soldiers.
Han Sui didn't know what kind of changes had taken place in the city, but it was definitely related to Zhao Yun.
The Qiang people's attack was frustrated, and Fu Xie was also secretly relieved.
"Brother Nanrong, it's still early at this time, so I led the cavalry to the outside of the city to charge and kill for a while, so that the Qiang people can also see the ferocity of our army's cavalry." Zhao Yundao.
"Zilong be careful." Fu Xie nodded and reminded.
The city gate was suddenly opened, and the Qiang soldiers who attacked the city were slightly stunned, and the soldiers who reacted quickly immediately rushed to the city gate, if they could seize the city gate, why did they have to work so hard to climb the city wall and fight with the Han army.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded suddenly, and the shouting of killing at the city gate completely covered the sound of horses' hooves.
When many Qiang soldiers saw the Han cavalry coming, they couldn't avoid it, and they directly crashed into the horses.
Two thousand cavalrymen, like tigers descending from the mountains, slaughtered into the army of the Qiang people, as if entering a no-man's land.
Zhao Yun and Dian Wei specially picked the people wearing armor among the Qiang people to kill, these people must have a certain status among the Qiang people.
The cavalry battle was completely unexpected by the Qiang people, and when they attacked the city before, they were very relieved.
The defenders of the city, seeing that their cavalry behaved so fiercely after the battle, shouted and shouted to the sky, and many young people seemed to be infected by this momentum and forgot their initial fear.
Although the Qiang soldiers who attacked the city were quite a few in number, more were foot soldiers, and with cavalry, their attack was immediately thwarted.
Many Qiang people saw Zhao Yun killing, shouting, white horse bright silver gun plus white cloak, is Zhao Yun's unique costume, see Zhao Yun, just need to avoid it from a distance.
Han Sui hurriedly sent cavalry to respond, after the Han cavalry was so disturbed, wanted to continue to attack the city, but could not, helpless, Han Sui could only order Mingjin to withdraw the troops.
It was only in the afternoon that the Qiang army was repulsed, which was a great encouragement to the defenders.
For three days in a row, Han Sui thought of a lot of ways, but it was still difficult to crack the defensive mode of the Han army, and the wounds of the Qiang soldiers who were contaminated after the oil and dung juice were boiled, and the wounds were eroded, and the sound of wailing came from time to time in the camp of the Qiang army.
With cavalry joining the battle, the soldiers defending the city are much easier, although many young men died in the battle, there are a sufficient number of young men in the city to replenish the army, and there is no need to worry too much about the reduction of the number of soldiers for a while.
The morale of the army is high, and when defending against the attack of the Qiang army, it can show more powerful combat effectiveness.
In the Qiang army, Han Sui's face was a little gloomy, and the generals of the Qiang people came to complain more than once, so if they attacked, instead of breaking through the city, they caused serious losses to the generals in the army, and in the long run, even the generals in the army would be difficult to appease the soldiers.
In particular, the wails of the wounded Qiang soldiers had a great impact.
After frowning and pondering for a long time, Han Sui set his sights on the south of the city, the reason why he kept attacking the east of the city was mainly because the moat in the east of the city had been filled, but after Zhao Yun led the cavalry to arrive, it was difficult to pose enough threat to the defenders just to attack the east of the city, and it was difficult for the Qiang people to even gain a foothold on the city wall, how could they do it.
Han Sui did not allow failure to happen, and Ji County must be breached.
The next day, there were Qiang soldiers in the south of the city, and the task of these Qiang soldiers was to fill in the moat.
In the east and south of the city, there are thousands of Qiang cavalry, and these cavalry are just to prevent the cavalry in the city from going to war.
"Zilong, it seems that Han Sui wants to attack from both sides." Fu Xie's words were full of worry, the soldiers in the city were barely enough to defend the east of the city, and if they still divided their forces to defend the south of the city, they would be stretched.
Zhao Yundao: "Brother Nanrong doesn't need to worry, the moat in Ji County is wide, and if the Qiang people want to fill the moat, how can it be so easy, and they only need to lead the cavalry to harass them, and they can affect the Qiang people." ”
"There are a lot of Qiang cavalry in the south of the city." Fu Xie reminded.
Zhao Yun smiled: "What about the Qiang cavalry." ”
Compared with attacking the city, the Qiang soldiers liked to fill the moat the most, and the soldiers defending in the south of the city were limited, and there were not many arrows in the army, so the Qiang soldiers suffered few counterattacks.
