Chapter 1462 Race against time

Xiong Wu, Xiong Kuohai, Han Xiangzi, Xiong Zhan, Xiong Kui, simple meals, impatient to go to the north gate!

Yan Jun goes and returns, it is by no means simple!

There must be a conspiracy behind it!

A group of people, leading the guards, rode straight to the north gate.

Arriving at the north gate, the deputy general quickly stepped forward, saluted Xiong Wu and the others, and hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, half a moment ago, the mechanical army went and returned, and quickly lined up outside the north gate, but no longer chose rolling wood boulders to attack the city, but kept throwing dirt, and the last general couldn't guess what Meng Kuo meant!"

Xiong Wu, Xiong Kuohai, Xiong Zhan listened to the deputy general's report and raised his eyes to look into the distance!

Outside the north gate, rows of catapults are lined up, as if tall giants are standing outside the north gate, and their giant arms are constantly throwing dirt!

Next to the catapults, the slingers kept packing bags of dirt from the rear of the cavalry into the catapults and throwing them near the north!

The earth falling from the sky kept falling below the north gate, and at this moment, near the wall of the north gate, there was a half-human high layer of earth.

Hiss!

Looking at it, Xiong Wu took a long breath, and couldn't guess what the mechanical army meant!

At this time, Xiong Kuohai suddenly raised his finger, pointed to the rear of the mechanical army, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, look, there are constantly cavalry at the east gate and the west gate, approaching from a distance and assembling in the rear of the mechanical army!"

Hearing the sound, Xiong Wu raised his eyes and looked, sure enough, behind the mechanical army, there were constantly iron cavalry approaching, and the black iron armor of the cavalry was particularly obvious!

"Uncle Huang, General Han, what are the mechanical troops going to do?"

Xiong Wu couldn't guess the intention of the slingers, but he knew that the mechanical army had never rested, and continued to attack the north, and he must have his own far-reaching plans!

"Your Majesty, the mechanical army is constantly filling in the city wall, and the iron cavalry is gathering outside the north gate, will the Yan army choose cavalry to attack the city!" Han Xiangzi continuously observed the movements of the Yan army, and when he was silent, he told Xiong Wu his conjecture!

"How is this possible?" Xiong Kui subconsciously said: "The cavalry is attacking the city, there is no advantage, even if the mechanical army fills in the north gate, and the iron cavalry rushes into the city, but the Xuanjia soldiers build a dark castle in the city, and they still barely block the edge of the Yan army!"

Xiong Kui couldn't imagine who was designing such a crazy siege method!

It takes a lot of time and energy to fill in the outside of the north gate, and the cavalry can't be used in the city!

No matter how strong the Yan army's iron cavalry is, it can't show strong combat effectiveness.

Unexpectedly, Han Xiangzi next to him retorted: "Lord Wang, don't forget, the Yan Army Iron Cavalry only needs to rush to the head of the city, control the city gate, the mechanical army, the Liang family army, and rush into the city, no matter how many dark castles the Xuanjia soldiers build in the city, the Liang family army and the mechanical army can still be destroyed, at that time, the Xuanjia soldiers will not have the slightest advantage at all!"

Hiss!

Xiong Kui heard this, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

Next to him, Xiong Wu, Xiong Kuohai, and Xiong Zhan also have cold faces and serious expressions!

At this time, Xiong Zhan clenched his fists, smashed on the broken wall, and turned sideways to Xiong Wu and said: "Brother Huang, the Yan army is aggressive, and the younger brother asks to lead the Xuanjia soldiers to rush out of the city, and take advantage of the iron cavalry to quickly destroy the mechanical army and thwart the plan of Emperor Yan!"

The Yan army's practices are despicable, they can't stay in the city and wait for death, and watch the Yan army gradually deploy on its own!

"That's right, Brother Huang, Brother Ministers also suggested, take the Xuanjia soldiers out of the city and look for the Yan Army to fight!" Kumakui agreed!

They are in great danger, and if they are not careful, the Yan army will enter the city, and their lives will be in danger, and they can't wait any longer!

Xiong Wu is in a dilemma, and he can't make up his mind!

The mechanical army dares to act openly outside the city, and it may not be defenseless.

At this moment, no one dared to lead the Xuanjia soldiers to rush out of the city, and the Yan army gathered in the rear quickly counterattacked, and the Xuanjia soldiers were bound to be wiped out!

Losing troops may not be able to destroy catapults!

In the midst of the torment, Xiong Wu asked Xiong Kuohai, "Uncle Huang, what do you think?"

Xiong Kuohai's face was pale, he guessed the conspiracy of the Yan army, and the yang conspiracy was two-pronged, if the catapult was not destroyed, Wuwei City would be in danger, and if the mechanical army was destroyed, at least twenty or thirty thousand Xuanjia soldiers would be lost!

In distress, Xiong Kuohai gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the current situation, either go out of the city and destroy the catapults, or take advantage of the Yan army's attention to concentrate on the north gate, quickly gather troops, and break through from the south gate!"

Hearing this, Xiong Wu made a decision and said to Xiong Zhan: "Seventh brother, you personally lead 30,000 Xuanjia soldiers, bring more fire, fire oil, and go out of the city from the city wall, and strive to destroy the catapult!"

"Brother Huang, don't worry!"

Xiong Zhan didn't hesitate and bowed!

At this time, Xiong Wu grabbed Xiong Zhan's broad palm, and said with a sad expression: "Seventh brother, this trip is extremely dangerous, you must remember to be cautious, if you really can't destroy the catapult, immediately lead the troops back, I will definitely open the city gate and let you in!"

"Your Majesty, if you are afraid of death, your brother will not be the heir of the Xiong family!" Xiong Zhan said sharply, there was no fear in his expression!

Immediately, he quickly pulled out his broad palm from Xiong Wu's hand, turned around and shouted to the Xuanjia soldier beside him: "Don't be afraid of death, brother, follow this king to sneak out of the city from the city wall, kill the mechanical army, and destroy the catapult!"

Slipping out of the city wall will not allow the Yan army to take the opportunity to break into the city, however, it is easy to become a live target for the Yan army!

The most important thing is that if you are unfortunately defeated and are pursued by the Yan army's iron cavalry, when the situation is dangerous, the emperor will take into account the overall situation, and may not open the city gate!

Therefore, the Xuanjia soldiers who dare to follow him out of the city must have the heart to die and the ambition to be loyal to the monarch and defend the country.

Xiong Zhan shouted, and in the city, there were many Xuanjia soldiers who echoed it!

However, there are only more than 60,000 defenders at the north gate, and forty percent of the casualties in the previous battles are present, and at present, the number of Xuanjia soldiers in the city wall is limited!

About half a cup of tea, Xiong Zhan only gathered 10,000 people, which is far from the number of 30,000 people!

As a last resort, Xiong Wu turned to Xiong Kuohai, and Han Xiangzi said: "Uncle Huang, General Han, hurry up and send guards to the east gate, and the west gate will mobilize Xuanjia soldiers and accompany the seventh brother out of the city to fight!"

When they discussed, the soil layer outside the city was already half a person's height, and if it was delayed, the Yan army's plan would be successful!

With the order, Xiong Kuohai, Han Xiangzi didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly sent guards to the east gate, and the west gate each recruited 10,000 elite Xuanjia soldiers!

This time, together with the recruitment of troops, it was almost delayed for half an hour, and the soil layer outside the city was already one person high!

The number of cavalry in the north is gathering more and more, and there are even signs of going south, Xiong Wu's face is cold, cold sweat is flowing on his forehead, and there is no color in Long Yan!

It really can't be delayed any longer, even if the Xuanjia soldiers go out of the city, the iron cavalry is assembled, and they are eyeing the south.

If you rush out of the city, you will only become a ghost under the Yan saber!

When panicked and frightened, the East Gate, the West Gate Xuanjia soldiers, finally, approached from both ends!

Looking at it, Xiong Wu took a long breath and was relieved!

Xiong Kuohai, Han Xiangzi, and Xiong Kui are also a little relaxed!

At this time, Xiong Zhan raised his sword violently and shouted to the Xuanjia soldiers beside him: "Brothers, follow this king out of the city, even if you die, you must protect the emperor and defend the dignity of the Xuanjia soldiers!"

Immediately, Xiong Zhan held a knife, did not use the rope ladder prepared at the head of the city, turned around and jumped directly from the head of the city!

The city wall of Wuwei City is three zhang high, and at present, the soil layer outside the city is one person high, and there is still a drop of more than two zhang, but Xiong Zhan has no fear!

Next to it, the Xuanjia soldiers watched, and a few people followed Xiong Zhan and jumped down the city, but . Most people still fall down the rope ladder!

For a while, the north gate of the city, outside the city, gradually became lively!

As the mechanical army continued to throw dirt, many Xuanjia soldiers fell to the ground, and were even hit by the mud, but fortunately, the injuries were not serious, holding swords and shields, staggering towards the direction of the mechanical army!

Xiong Wu paid attention to the tragic actions of the Xuanjia soldiers, and couldn't help muttering, "I hope that the Xuanjia soldiers will gain something when they go out of the city, otherwise, it will be a pity that the 30,000 Xuanjia soldiers will be lost!"

"Your Majesty, Xiong Zhan led the Xuanjia soldiers out of the city, if he can destroy the Yan Army's catapults and alleviate the crisis in Wuwei City, even if all the casualties and Xuanjia soldiers are killed, it will be worth it!" Kuma Kuokaido.

Not long ago, he made two suggestions to Xiong Wu, Xiong Wu chose to stay in Wuwei City, proving that Xiong Wu knew that the Xuanjia soldiers could not evacuate, and there was no other place to stay, but to fight to the death!

"That's right, Your Majesty, I believe that the Seventh Prince will be able to live up to his mission!" Han Xiangzi said.

The catapult of the mechanical army is only a few hundred steps away from the north gate, but the iron cavalry in the rear is outside, even if the iron cavalry senses the crisis and quickly leads the troops back.

Xiong Zhan led the Xuanjia soldiers, and it is also possible to use fire oil and fire materials to complete the catapult strike!

At that time, even if Xiong Zhan and the Xuanjia soldiers died on the battlefield, they would not fail in their mission!

Outside the north gate, Xiong Zhan took the lead in landing, holding a shield to block the dirt flying in the air, and holding on to the war knife to move forward quickly.

However, the Yan army next to the catapult seemed to be aware of Xiong Zhan's scheme, and the catapult threw out the soil, intentionally or unintentionally attacking Xiong Zhan and the Xuanjia soldiers!

Even if Xiong Zhan and the Xuanjia soldiers were attacked and did not die on the spot, the situation was still miserable!

A lot of dirt hit the body, and even a lot of it got into the armor, and it suddenly became very difficult to move forward.

In addition, being attacked often makes the Xuanjia soldiers stagger, staggering, and even stampede when they are fast!

In front of the mechanical army, Meng Kuo's body stood upright, and he was slightly surprised when he looked at the Xuanjia soldiers who were approaching!

Wuwei City is in a bad situation, hundreds of thousands of Yan troops have been gathered outside the city, and there are Xuanjia soldiers who have ventured out of the city, which is simply self-defeating!

Meng Kuo snorted lightly and instructed the generals beside him: "General Zhao, General Luo is in the rear, the cavalry should also be assembled, beat the drums and gather the troops, and destroy the Xuanjia soldiers who are close in front of you first."

What does the Xuanjia soldier mean by venturing out of the city, Meng Kuo is not unclear, but he will never let the Xuanjia soldier be satisfied!

When the general heard this, he shouted: "Drummer, beat the drum, remind General Zhao, General Luo, kill the enemy!"

Bang bang bang!

Soon, the rumbling snare drums were heard in the distance!

When he was young, the horses' hooves rumbled in the rear, and it was obvious that Zhao Jun and Luo Da, hearing the sound of drums, led the iron cavalry to act!

At this moment, Xiong Zhan led the troops to move forward with difficulty, and suddenly heard the sound of military drums in front of him, and looked up suddenly, and in the far ahead, the iron cavalry thundered, and quickly moved towards the north gate!

Looking at it, Xiong Zhan was shocked into a cold sweat.

Hurriedly raised his sword and shouted wildly: "Brothers, Yan Qi is about to approach, go all out!"

If they were allowed to get close to the iron cavalry, they would not have destroyed the catapult, or even reached the catapult, and it was very likely that they would be surrounded by the Yan army.
