Li Kui's words fell, and the three young generals walked up to the city wall in a hurry, and the three of them were also veterans, and they could see the blood and water condensed ice on the city wall, the corpses and wounded on the city wall, and the siege equipment that was slowly approaching, and they couldn't help but feel a shock in their hearts.

The battle of Black Flag Pass was tragic, bloody, and difficult like never before!

"The last generals Huang Puxuan, Feng Shihu, Hou Mingfeng; Meet the general, the general has worked hard! The three of them said in unison, admiring Liu Xuanyuan from the bottom of their hearts, and in the face of nearly ten times the enemy, they insisted on it. Huang Puxuan said again: "General, the emperor ordered the three generals to be commanded by the general!" ”

Looking at the siege equipment less than two miles away from the Black Flag Pass, Liu Xuanyuan immediately ordered: "Heavy cavalry, all dismount, put on armor and fight on the city wall, once the Rong people climb the city wall, they will be killed." Crossbowmen fought in the city, shooting anyone who came near the Black Flag Pass. Li Kui, gather the brothers, bring up all the crossbow carts brought by the reinforcements, tie up the fire, and strive to burn the siege equipment of the Rong people, hurry, hurry! ”

Liu Xuanyuan's eyes were blood-red, and after arranging it in one breath, there was another gasp. At this moment, his tense thoughts finally relaxed a little, but it was also a pity that if he could force the Rong people out of the mountain road, on the plain outside, the heavy cavalry could fight with the Rong cavalry head-on, but unfortunately time was running out, and for the time being, it could only be used as a heavy infantry.

30,000 reinforcements rushed to all parts of the city wall, actively preparing for battle, and their proficiency was like that of a veteran who had been on the battlefield. The exhausted tiger and leopard battalion, which planned to live and die with the Black Flag Pass, was greatly boosted, lifted the ballista, filled the spear, smeared the gun head bag with fire oil, and stared at the siege equipment of the Rong people, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Before the battle, Yelu Tieshi, the commander of the Rong tribe, did not expect that since he stepped into the mountain road, his unit had lost nearly 30,000 people, and he had not been able to conquer the Black Flag Pass.

In the past few days, because of the frustration of the Huns, the morale of the soldiers was not very high, and with the stalemate at the Black Flag Pass, the morale became more and more low. Duguzang, who had pinned the hopes of the whole army on the mountain stream path of the Black Flag Pass, led his troops back at noon today. The cunning Yan people actually burned down the mountain stream trail and formed a moat in the mountains and the Black Flag Pass.

When General Dugu returned, he shattered the wish of the left-wing commander Yelu Tieshi to make a surprise attack, and had to take out the killer weapon and take out all the siege equipment of the Song Kingdom that was exchanged for tens of thousands of war horses half a year ago and put them into battle.

In the battle with the Xiongnu, the Yelu family's land and grassland and water sources were all taken away, and now if the Yelu family was not relieved by the Great Khan, the left and right wings, nearly 200,000 people would probably have been hungry.

Three days ago, outside the Black Flag Pass, a lot of food was grabbed, but it was unable to support the clansmen to survive the winter. After several days of fierce fighting, Yelu Tieshi estimated that there were not many defenders in the pass. The siege equipment was brought in order to give the defenders of the Black Flag Pass a fatal blow and break through the pass into the city.

Once the Black Flag Pass is captured, looted on a large scale, and effectively resupplyed, the clansmen will have a better life throughout the winter.

"Hurry, hurry, ladder carts, siege vehicles move quickly, ballista carts, stone throwing vehicles put in position, shoot the living forces on the pass------- attack troops prepare to attack." In order to capture the Black Flag Pass earlier, Yelu Tieshi personally went into battle to command.

At this time, a cavalry rode over in front, and after dismounting, he approached Yelu Tieshi and said softly: "General, there are reinforcements coming from the Black Flag, and there seem to be a lot of them!" ”

"What?" In disbelief, Yelu Tieshi pushed away the soldiers, quickly ran on a siege engine, stood at the top, and looked in the direction of the Black Flag Pass. Sure enough, there were black pressure soldiers on the gate, and the number did increase a lot. "Bastard, how do you find out the news, how can there be only 50,000 cavalry in Yan Kingdom?" Jelu Tieshi whipped the siege vehicle with the whip in his hand, and he was furious.

At first, the direction of the Rong people's plundering was actually the Bauhinia Pass of the Jin Kingdom, which was far richer than the Black Flag Pass and easier to capture. It was based on the news sent back by the spies that Yan Guoman only had 50,000 cavalry, so the Rong people chose to attack the Black Flag Pass, preparing to break through the pass, go all the way south and annex the Yan State. If it was known in advance that the Yan State had elite soldiers, the Rong people would definitely not attack the Black Flag Pass, and it was no wonder that Yelu Tieshi was furious.

Seeing that the Black Flag Pass was about to be broken, a large number of reinforcements appeared on the pass, resulting in several days of hard work, all the previous efforts were wasted and in vain!

Angrily rushed off the siege vehicle, Yelu Tieshi urged: "Order the soldiers on all hills to immediately attack the city, suppress the opponent's arrow rain, and the death squad advance. ”

The battle broke out again, this time with more and more ferocity, and a rain of arrows rained down from the sky, wounding soldiers who could not dodge it. Only the ironclad cavalry, dressed in heavy armor and armed to the teeth, stood on the pass, fighting to the death with the Rong people. Not inferior to the rain of arrows of the Rong people, shooting in all directions, the Rong people who did not have iron armor protection, suffered heavy casualties under the rain of arrows.

Liu Xuanyuan looked up at the ironclad cavalry attacking in an orderly manner, and sighed secretly, although this team lacks battlefield experience, it can rely on tacit cooperation, and it is difficult for the swords and guns on its body to enter the subway armor, but it can also block the edge of the Rong people.

20,000 ironclad cavalry, before the arrival of the siege equipment of the Rong people, all armed with bows and crossbows, 20,000 people divided into two groups, the first wave of arrow rain, immediately squatted down to replace the arrows, the companions who were ready to go behind will immediately get up, a new round of arrow rain shoots, back and forth circulation, the dense arrow rain not only makes the Rong people on the hills, dare not take the head, the ground siege troops have also been suppressed.

The only thing that is unpleasant is that the opponent's catapults and crossbow carts have a very long range, almost thousands of meters away, and the bow and arrow do not hurt the opponent, and even the range is insufficient, which makes many ironclad cavalry miserable.

However, in the face of the strong attack of the Rong people, Feng Shihu and Hou Mingfeng still commanded in an orderly manner, Liu Xuanyuan saw it in his eyes, and was relieved in his heart, these young soldiers have not enough battlefield experience, but they are not afraid of life and death, after the baptism of war, I am afraid that there will be a qualitative leap in combat effectiveness.

"General, the opponent's siege vehicle and ladder vehicle have entered the firing range, do you shoot?" Li Kui touched Liu Xuanyuan's side and asked.

"Shoot, categorically can't let the other party get close." Liu Xuanyuan immediately ordered, turned around and said to Huangpu Xuan: "General Huangpu, immediately let the crossbowmen clear the Rong people on the hills, otherwise, once the opponent's siege vehicle and ladder vehicle are close, before the main battlefield is transferred, those people will pose a great threat to the soldiers defending the city." ”

"Yes!" Huangpu Xuan's crossbow soldiers are good at defending the city, or suppressing the enemy in a large area of arrow rain, and under Liu Xuanyuan's order, Huangpu Xuan took the lead in shooting, holding a longbow and shooting, and by the way, he ordered the crossbow soldiers to clear the Rong people on the hills.

Soon, the Rong people's ladder carts and siege engines approached the city wall, although many of the equipment were hit by crossbow guns tied with fire, burning a raging fire, but it did not threaten the Rong people's enthusiasm for attacking the city.

Half an hour later, in some places, the two sides began to fight to the death, and the ironclad cavalry that had been shot earlier drew their scimitars one after another and defended the city, becoming the main combat force.

This battle was extremely tragic, starting from dusk and continuing until noon the next day, on the Black Flag Pass and the nearby mountain roads, blood flowed like a river, and the city wall of the Black Flag Pass was broken, as if it had been washed with blood, red and red. The dirt on the ground turned into mud, and there was a popping sound when stepped on it, and corpses piled up in a mountain.

It was not until all the siege equipment of the Rong people was destroyed that 20,000 corpses were left behind, and the war was not over until they hastily withdrew from the mountain road and returned to the camp.

"Whew,-, finally withdraw!" Feng Shihu saw the traces of the Rong people disappearing on the mountain road, took a heavy breath, scolded angrily, slipped his body along the city wall to the ground, and lay on it and fell asleep.

"Damn, it's not easy!" Hou Mingfeng laughed miserably, fell back to back with Feng Shihu, and soon snored thunderously.

At this station, Feng Shihu and Hou Mingfeng's 20,000 ironclad cavalry were the main force, specializing in killing the Rong people who climbed the city wall. Only on two occasions, with the suppression of the rain of arrows, the ironclad cavalry defending the city had been forced under the city walls, and the city gate was lost. Huang Pu Xuan promptly asked the crossbowmen to join in and start a white-knuckle battle, and the three parties worked together to recover the lost territory and drive the Rong people out of the city wall.

At this time, the black flag was closed, mixed tastes, there was the joy of repelling the Rong people, there was the sadness of the loss of comrades, and more was the joy of the rest of the life, and the continuous spread of fatigue and fatigue, after the Rong people evacuated, many people dropped their weapons casually, fell into a pool of cold blood, and fell asleep directly.

War is cruel, blood and fire, tempering the will of soldiers, improving combat effectiveness, and increasing experience are the best whetstones for training.

In this battle, the Yan State and the Rong people invested a total of 100,000 participants, thousands of various siege and defense equipment, the city wall of the Black Flag Pass was seriously damaged, the battlements of the city were all smoothed, and loopholes appeared in many places. On the mountain road, all the siege equipment of the Rong people was burned, and a raging fire was ignited, illuminating half of the sky, and the grass and trees around the mountain road were destroyed, and it is estimated that it will take many years after the war to recover its vitality.

Feng Shihu and Hou Mingfeng led the ironclad cavalry to take charge of the main defense, repelling the attacks of the Rong people again and again, relying on strong physical fitness, well-trained skills, and impenetrable iron armor, the soldiers suffered few casualties.

Just when the catapults and ballistas were attacking the city, they were hit by stones or stabbed by ballistas, and they could not withstand the heavy blows and died, and the casualties were not too great. On the contrary, it is the Rong people who are in contact with their short soldiers, the scimitar in the hands of the Rong people, slashing on the armor of the ironclad cavalry, clanging, unable to split the thick iron armor, the scimitar leaves a slight trace on the iron armor, it will bounce back, the next moment, kill the red-eyed metro cavalry, raise the scimitar in his hand, and will kill the opponent.

It's just that wearing dozens of pounds of heavy armor and fighting fiercely for almost a day and night, the ironclad cavalry has long been tired and collapsed. At this moment, he was limp on the city wall, unable to lift even a finger.
