The spring day is slanting westward, outside Guangling City.

Yutai looked gloomily at the county town in front of him, which was not too high, let alone large, this battle was too unexpected for him.

Guang Ling, who thought that he was at his fingertips, actually blocked a fierce attack that he was bound to win, and also caused a lot of damage to the men and horses of the city, more than 200 people died under the rain of arrows, and almost some people were injured. This is really a heavy blow to the Tho Division, which is not too strong in itself.

And now, when he changed his strategy and attacked the defenders of the city with a volley of arrows, they quickly made targeted defensive measures, and they were stunned to defend them with huge shields, making it difficult for them to inflict decent damage on the defenders.

Yutai's heart was chilled, but his anger was even stronger. The grassland tribe hadn't really attacked a Ming city for many years, and he thought that it was just deterred by the might of the Ming army that invaded the grassland decades ago, and he dreamed of making a name for himself in this battle today. It wasn't until this moment that he realized that the Ming army's defensive capability was so strong, far from being comparable to the villages and towns raided in the past.

But at this time, the arrow has left the string, and the people and horses have been killed under Guangling City, how can they retreat in distress? It's hard to ride a tiger, and that's the situation in front of him.

Suddenly, Yutai remembered something and shouted, "Bring me that Han man." At this moment, he was furious and had transferred his anger and shame from the siege to He Wukui, because he was the first person to encourage himself to attack Guangling City.

He Wukui was quickly pushed and brought to Yutai, and the old man's expression was quite timid and apprehensive. As soon as he saw Yutai's gloomy appearance, he panicked even more: "The old man has seen the patriarch of Yutai. ”

Yutai didn't have time to talk to him in circles, so he immediately pointed to Guangling City, which was as tall as a mountain in front of him, and asked, "This is what you said about Guangling who let me send troops to take down in one fell swoop?" How many warriors are you trying to kill me? ”

He Wukui secretly said in his heart, is it not that you are not angry, and you did not seize the opportunity of Xiao Jiang to be killed in the first place to send troops? After a few months of delay, the situation is naturally very different from the beginning, and now you dare to blame me? But of course he didn't have the courage to say this, so he had to say with a bitter face: "The old man really underestimated the strength of the Ming army defending the city, and he also looked at the patriarch Haihan." ”

"Haihan? Many of my warriors died because of this, and you still let me Haihan? If you can come up with a way to break the city today, it's fine, otherwise ......" As soon as the words stopped, Yutai's eyes were full of murderous intent.

Feeling the threat to his life, He Wukui slammed into a sudden, and his heart quickly turned his thoughts, after seeing the Mongolian team arrayed outside the city, he already had an idea: "Patriarch, in fact, it is not too difficult to break this city. ”

"How?" At this time, Yutai was already a little sick and rushed to the doctor, and hurriedly asked.

He Wukui glanced at Guangling City, which used to be half of his hometown, and there were many friends in it, once the city was broken, their fate would be ...... But this matter could not even protect his own life, and he couldn't care too much, so he said his strategy: "This Guangling City has few soldiers, but there are only five hundred defenders, and the patriarch can lead two thousand people. In the old and foolish opinion, it is possible to divide the troops to attack the city gates on all sides at the same time, so that the defenders of the city will inevitably take care of one and lose the other, and the city can be taken down overnight. ”

"Huh?" Yutai looked stunned for a moment, and the haze on his face suddenly disappeared, why didn't he think of this trick? After all, he is a man on the grassland, always going straight, and his temperament of one intestine leading to the end is also average in the use of soldiers. Now after being pointed out, I know that there is such an easy way to break the city.

Without much hesitation, Yutai had already issued an order to let the two soldiers and horses who came to help go out to attack the east and west gates of Guangling City, and then his own side continued to attack the north gate with all his strength - he still knew how to encircle three and lack one.

With an order, the Mongolian army, which had been hoarded under the northern city of Guangling, quickly moved, and after dividing the troops, they quickly pounced towards the east and west gates.

The battle has entered a whole new stage.

@@@@@

At the head of the city, after the rain of arrows gradually subsided and the shield was removed, Liu Yi and the others saw the sudden division of the Mongolian army, which made the melancholy on his face more and more serious, and a deep Sichuan character wrinkled at the center of his eyebrows: "Now there is only the division of troops to resist the enemy." Wang Bing, Zhang Dai, each of you led a hundred men and horses to the east and west gates to guard, you must guard it. Zhang Ang, you take fifty people to Nancheng to keep an eye on it, and if the Tartars come to attack, you will send someone to report the news. ”

Under his series of orders, several subordinates whispered orders, and then hurried away with men and horses. In just a few moments, less than half of the defenders on the North City side remained.

The shortcomings of the insufficient strength of the Guangling garrison are well known to the enemy and me, and dividing the troops will only make the situation worse, but even if he knows that this is a way to quench his thirst, Liu Yi can only do this. His only hope was that his men would be able to withstand the enemy's ferocious onslaught until reinforcements arrived.

The distance between the two sides is really not far, and you can easily see the specific situation of the transfer of people and horses at a glance. The intention of the Mongols to divide their troops to attack the city could not be concealed from Liu Yi, and the practice of the defenders dividing their troops to defend was naturally under the gaze of the Mongols.

Seeing that the defenders of the northern city were greatly reduced, Yutai's face suddenly showed a hideous smile: "Blow the horn and continue to attack the city." First use the bow and arrow to suppress the Ming army above, and then climb up for me! ”

At the sound of an order, the fire knot that had just been beaten with a disgraced face roared again, and rushed forward with the warriors of his own clan. It's just that before entering the range of the Ming army, they quickly stopped their horses, and then raised their hands one after another to shoot deadly arrows.

The Ming army at the head of the city hurriedly erected their shields again to resist, but because the enemy's random arrows came suddenly this time, they were half a beat slower, and more than a dozen people were hit by the arrows. It wasn't until the shield was erected that the situation in the city stabilized a little. However, Liu Yi's face became more and more difficult to look at, because he saw that the enemy had changed his siege strategy, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

At the same time, a trumpet sounded under the city on the east and west sides, and then the shouts of killing and attacking were also heard continuously, and those two sides also began to be attacked by the Mongols.

Lu Jin stood quietly behind, sometimes helping the soldiers to hand over some weapons, although his face seemed very calm, but he was also a little panicked in his heart. Even if he is a person who doesn't understand military affairs, he knows that something is wrong when he sees the current situation, how can he stop the strong and fierce Mongolian people with only such a small number of troops?

Sure enough, the drawbacks of a thin force soon became apparent. Under the suppression of a round of random arrows from the Mongol army, the Ming army completely fell into passivity, although they had found that the Mongol cavalry had come to the city and had ropes thrown up again, they were also powerless, and they could not kill the enemy with arrows as before.

This is the cruelty of the battlefield, here only about strength, regardless of anything else. When the forces are overwhelming, no matter how clever the commander is, he is powerless against the situation of the battle.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the Mongolian people had already climbed the city, and the speed was not reduced at all. Although the Mongolian people under the city were much weaker than before, they still had arrows shooting towards the city from time to time, so that the defenders could not free up their hands and feet to deal with the enemies below.

How is it good? In the face of such a dangerous situation, Lu Zhen was obviously a little confused, so he could only stare at Liu Yi to see what ideas he could come up with.

Liu Yi clenched his fists, his eyes flickered, and finally after gritting his teeth, he made a final decision: "Withdraw the shield and throw the stone and wood!" ”

With a roar of rage, the soldiers did not hesitate to throw aside the shield in front of them to protect their bodies, and then bent down and lifted up the rolling logs and stones that had been piled up at their feet, and then, with a few loud shouts, either alone or together, they smashed down the stones and trees one by one.

Stones the size of a millstone and a waist-thick piece of wood fell to the ground, hitting the head of the Mengren who was climbing with all his might with a bang. The unlucky guys screamed and were smashed directly from the city wall to the ground, blood splattered.

At the same time, there are also many companions who are under them who are dropped by their teeth and claws. Suddenly no less than fifty or sixty Mongolians who rushed the fastest fell into the city, either dead or seriously injured, and the screams and cries of pain resounded throughout the northern city for a while.

Although the momentum of the Mongol army's march to the city was slightly suppressed, the Ming army also paid the corresponding price. Without the protection of the shield, there was no stopping from the arrows that were fired by the colders. As he lifted the stone and threw it down, one of the soldiers was shot by an arrow and fell to the ground in a pool of blood. Nearly twenty sergeants lost their lives in this way, and the city was already piled up with corpses, and the blood was slowly accumulating and flowing to the edges.

However, the Mongols who climbed the city did not abandon their established strategy because of this. Especially when a new round of trumpets sounded, they once again burst out with terrifying power, and hundreds of people used their hands and feet together, and once again climbed up at the fastest speed.

Although there were stones and trees falling from their heads from time to time, this time they were much smarter, and instead of blindly going upward, they would also rest against the wall from time to time, and at the same time cope with the falling wood and stones from above. As a result, although the speed of their ascent was slower, the loss of men and horses was much less.

But after all, the city wall is only three feet, and even if the speed of the Mongolian people comes up slowly, there is still a time to reach the top. After only one meal, they finally climbed to the top of the city along the rope, and after twisting their hands and kicking their feet on the wall, the first Mongolian man to climb the head of Guangling City finally appeared.

When he saw this scene, Lu Jin's heart suddenly sank: "It's over...... Could it be that this Guangling City was going to be breached by them in one fell swoop? ”
