Chapter 588: Xiliang Siege City

Anyi, the capital of the Xia Dynasty, was one of the earliest prosperous cities in Chinese history. It is the early capital of Wei during the Warring States Period, near Fenshui, surrounded by the Yellow River in the west and south, the natural danger is self-contained, the east is blocked by the Taihang Mountain, forming a natural barrier, the north is directly connected to Helan, where the plain is a thousand miles, the land is fertile, the people are rich and the soldiers are strong, and it has always been the land for the soldiers. Although it is a county, it is better than a state.

With the blessing of the heavens, Anyi has become one of the most important cities in northern China and one of the most densely populated. But perhaps it was the man-made disasters and the wrath of the heavens, which also caused this ancient city that had been calm for hundreds of years to fall into the scourge of swords.

Just when Guo Yuan was furious and led most of the centaurs out of the city to besiege and kill Pang De, the defenders of Anyi, who had just closed the city gate for a short time, suddenly became very nervous, and saw a long black line appear in the western sky, which was rapidly attacking Anyi.

As the black line approached, there were countless people and horses, and from a distance, it was like an army of countless ants, and the dust they brought up flew into the air, making the sky change color.

Now it is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the north is dry, the ground that has not rained for a long time is trampled by the team, the soft loess suddenly turns into dust and rises with the wind, covering most of the sky, extremely terrifying.

The defenders of Anyi City have been very unquiet these days, the successive deaths of generals Tang Cheng and Guo Kai have filled their hearts with chills, this originally extremely lively and prosperous city has suddenly depressed, and rich businessmen have fled with their families, although the general has suppressed it with iron blood, it is still repeatedly banned, which makes everyone who is already panicked even more uneasy.

"It's terrible to have so many people!"

Although the warning signal had been issued, the soldiers' hearts were even more worried, because the people who came were too fast.

"Look, it's cavalry!" Someone shouted.

"It's Xiliang Tartar!" Someone has sharp eyes and sees the incoming enemy clearly.

"How so? Didn't the general just go to kill the people of Xiliang? Could he ......?"

"Smack!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't want to live!" Someone slapped the back of the head of the person who spoke, and the man immediately closed his mouth obediently, and quickly peeked around a few times, and found that no one was paying attention before patting his chest and exhaling.

A burst of dust drifted by, and everyone covered their eyes with their sleeves slightly wrapped their arms, but when their arms were put down, their faces suddenly changed greatly, and the city was already full of people and horses, all of whom were Xiliang's men and horses, or cavalry.

The cavalry is terrible, that's because there are horses, but to attack the city, they have to dismount, and the cavalry who get off the horse is still cavalry, and it is not even as good as the infantry, but Xiliang is not only a cavalry, the reason why they change their faces is that the infantry has been slowly coming behind the cavalry.

It's not really slow, it's just a lot slower than the cavalry.

At this time, there were only more than 20,000 and less than 30,000 horses in the city, and everyone was thinking about a question: Can Anyi still hold on?

"Listen, the people at the head of the city should open the city gate quickly, and those in the province will suffer from the sword soldiers, and they will not be the soul of the sword!" A young general from the city shouted out of the ranks

I saw this young general, with a face like a crown of jade, eyes like meteors, a tiger body and ape arms, and a wolf's waist; Holding a spear in his hand and riding a horse, he is heroic and extraordinary, and he doesn't know who his surname is.

Looking at the neat Xiliang men and horses under the city, and the bloodthirsty and warlike generals who were constantly howling, the defenders at the head of the city were already chilling, and when they saw this general again, they didn't dare to breathe, and no one dared to answer.

"I don't dare to fight, the door doesn't open, I don't answer anything, why is this?" After waiting for a long time, no one in the city answered, and no one opened the door to surrender, and the young general under the city suddenly became furious, and raised his spear towards the city, bursting into a shout, but in the ears of all the defenders, it was no different from thunder, and they changed color. Some of the timid ones took a few steps back, knowing that they were blocked by the battlements behind them.

However, after this angry shout, no one spoke, only the howl of the Xiliang soldiers under the city.

"Take a mile back and fix it on the spot!" The young general suddenly laughed, turned his head and ordered. Although his subordinates didn't know why, they did it anyway.

However, the defenders of the city were even more panicked, and even after the people in the city got the news, they also panicked, and the clouds of panic became heavier and heavier at the head of Anyi City. Compared with the defenders at the head of the city, the Xiliang army under the city, after resting, was completely two extremes, extremely relaxed, and some people even fell asleep.

An hour later, an abrupt trumpet sounded, which made everyone in Anyi City suddenly frightened, they didn't know what was happening, but then a high-pitched and passionate shout of killing sounded, and their hearts sank to the bottom completely.

The Xiliang army has attacked the city!

Anyi's defenders have not participated in the war for a long time, and the pride of winning Xiahoudun before has long been wiped out with the bad news that Tang Cheng and Guo Kai died in battle, and the rest is timid.

"Boom!" There was a loud sound of a siege cone crashing against the city gate, which seemed to hit everyone's hearts, and it hurt badly for no reason.

"Mother, I'm afraid!" The child was already snuggled in his mother's arms, but when he heard the loud noise, he couldn't help but scream.

"Don't be afraid, mother...... Mother is here! "When the man is gone, the woman can only protect her child in this way, but she doesn't know that even her voice is trembling.

The infantry attacked the city, marched forward bravely, the cavalry rode and shot, and used the bow and arrow in their hands to provide strong cover for the infantry, and there were constantly people on the head of the city who fell to the ground with arrows, and even fell off the city wall.

"The three battalions have reached the top of the city, and the other battalions are working hard! Open the city gates, storm the city, and reward the whole army! The young general in the brocade robe commanded loudly and encouraged his subordinates, making all the Xiliang soldiers enthusiastic, and the strength in his hands became two points heavier.

"Click!" There was an overwhelmed sound from the city gate, this was the sound of the wood being smashed, and the people in the city couldn't hear it because of the noise, but the defenders behind the gate changed their faces greatly, and some people were stunned for a moment and threw down the weapons in their hands and turned around and ran: "The enemy is going to attack in, run!" ”

This sound was not tight, but it caused the fear in everyone's hearts to be infinitely amplified, and they ran away together, and the city gate ...... That is, the city gate is left......
