Chapter 265: Moxi City Preparing for General Mobilization

In Moxi City, the partial general Gong Xun saw more than 400 cavalry who had gone out of the city to show their appearances, and one of them withdrew to the city, and while breathing a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but be very disappointed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

There are two reasons for disappointment, on the one hand, it seems that the Khitan army outside the city should not be able to avoid a bloody battle, on the other hand, I thought that I could rely on the martial arts of my nephew Gong Wu, if I fought generals, I could win a game and increase the morale of the soldiers and people in the city, but unfortunately I met a fierce general of the Khitan people, that is, if I kept fighting with him, I would not be the opponent of this Khitan general.

Gong Wu looked at the partial general Gong Xun and said with a look of shame: "Uncle, the little nephew has lost the prestige of our Moxi City, if it weren't for the uncle's action, the little nephew might have been beheaded by the Khitan general!" ā€

Gong Xun sighed and said: "That Khitan captain named Baya Tuli, his martial arts are really powerful, even the old man is not his opponent, this battle to defend the city is not easy to fight!" ā€

At this time, a shout suddenly came from the top of the city wall: "General, the Khitans are going to attack the city!" ā€

Gong Xun's face changed, "Let's go!" Follow the old man to the city wall! ā€

After the Khitan commander Bayaturi won the task of besieging the city, he immediately sent three thousand troops to feint and attack the eastern, southern, and western walls of Moxi City, and Bayatuli personally commanded the remaining seven thousand troops under his command to storm the northern wall of Moxi City.

The walls of Moxi City are eight meters high, but this time the Khitan army used horse-drawn carriages to carry a lot of simple wooden ladders, which were enough to be used for siege with a little splicing.

The Khitan soldiers under Bayaturi's command carried simple wooden ladders and stormed Moxi City under the cover of the Khitan cavalry's bows and arrows.

When the Khitan cavalry used bows and arrows to cover the Khitan infantry attacking the city, they used the momentum of the war horse to take the semi-arc as the trajectory of action, and approached until they were about eighty steps away from the city wall, that is, the apex of the semi-arc, and then threw themselves at the city wall.

On the northern wall of Moxi City, the Khitan cavalry quickly suppressed the archers of the defenders on the city wall with bows and arrows, as well as the defending soldiers and people who threw rolling wooden stones, so that the Khitan soldiers continued to climb the northern wall of Moxi City along the simple wooden ladder.

"Kill-" The partial general Gong Xun slashed to death a Khitan soldier who climbed the north wall of Moxi City with a knife, and then Gong Xun slashed the head of a Khitan soldier with a backhand, and then Gong Xun raised his foot and kicked a Khitan soldier who had just emerged from the battlement, and after a scream, the Khitan soldier who had just emerged fell down, and also smashed another Khitan soldier on the simple wooden ladder.

General Gong Xun took a look at the situation on the north wall of Moxi City, and immediately turned his head and shouted: "The reserve team goes up to the city wall and drives these Khitan mongrels down!" ā€

Hearing his father's shout, Gong Xun's eldest son Gong Yi soon took six hundred soldiers in iron armor to rush to the north wall of Moxi City from the stone ladder, these six hundred soldiers in iron armor are the most elite infantry in Moxi City, relying on these six hundred elites, the defenders of Moxi City finally repelled the Khitan siege, but the Jin people who fell on the city wall were more than the Khitans who died in the siege.

After the night of October 28, 426 of the Great Jin Dynasty, the fighting in Moxi City finally subsided, and Moxi City was still under the control of the Jin army, while the Khitan army outside the city had already built a temporary camp and did not continue to attack the city at night.

In a huge felt bag in the Khitan camp in the north outside Moxi City, Bayatuli, the Khitan commander, knelt on the ground with a ashamed face, and Yeluqi, the right king of Khitan, Yelu Amu, the king of right letters, and Yeluge, the king of the left rite, sat directly in front of Bayaturi, and on both sides of Bayaturi, there were dozens of Khitan generals.

Yeluqi, the king of the right ceremony, looked at Bayatuli with a bloody white cloth wrapped around his waist, and said with a concerned face: "Bayaturi, it doesn't matter what your injuries are, right?" This king didn't expect that the Jin people of Moxi City resisted so fiercely, and it was not your fault that they didn't capture Moxi City today, you are injured, so hurry up! ā€

Bayatulli didn't get up immediately, but said urgently: "King Youli, please give your subordinates another day, tomorrow your subordinates will definitely be able to conquer Moxi City, otherwise your subordinates will come to see you!" ā€

Yeluqi's face suddenly turned cold, "Bayaturi, this king asked you to get up, didn't you hear?" ā€

When Bayaturi heard this, he quickly stood up in fright, not daring to say anything more.

At this time, Yeluqi's face softened. "Bayaturi, how are your 10,000 people killed and wounded today?"

Bayatulli hesitated for a moment and said, "Tell the Right Rite King, today's 10,000-strong team has lost about 4,000 people, of which about 3,700 were killed. ā€

Yeluqi waved his hand and said, "The loss is so big, Bayaturi, don't give this king a strong force!" ā€

Then Yeluqi turned his head and said to Yelu Amu and Yeluge: "It seems that Moxi City is not easy to gnaw, but since we are here, then Moxi City must be conquered!" Tomorrow, the three of us will each send one or several tens of thousands of people to attack from the east, west, and north of Moxi City, whoever attacks Moxi City first will get seventy percent of the spoils, and the other two will share the remaining thirty percent of the loot, Ninth Uncle and Sixth Brother, what do you say? ā€

Yelu Amu and Yelu Ge glanced at each other, and they both nodded in agreement.

At this time, on the north wall of Moxi City, the partial general Gong Xun looked at the two corpses in front of him with a sad face, one of these two corpses was Gong Xun's fifth son Gong Cheng, and the other was Gong Xun's nephew Gong Tong, both of whom were killed in the battle on the north wall of Moxi City during the day.

Gong Xun's eldest son Gong Yi walked to Gong Xun's side, looked at the corpses of his younger brother Gong Cheng and cousin Gong Tong, Gong Yi wiped the tears that flowed out, gritted his teeth and said to Gong Xun: "Father, this hatred of our Gong family must be repaid by the Khitan people in the future!" ā€

Gong Xun's voice was a little hoarse and asked, "What is the situation of casualties today?" ā€

Gong Yi said: "Father, the loss of the other three city walls is not big, adding up to only 300 soldiers and more than 800 people, but our north city wall has a very big loss here, today we lost more than 1,000 soldiers and more than 2,900 people in one day, even the 600 elites under my command, now there are only more than 400 left." ā€

Gong Xun smiled bitterly and said: "So we lost 5,000 people in one day, alas - today the Khitans just tried to attack, and they brought us such big casualties, if the Khitans launched a full-scale attack, I don't know how many days we can hold out!" ā€

Gong Yi suggested: "Father, now that our Moxi City is facing life and death, we must gather all the people in the city, regardless of men, women, old and young, to go to the city wall!" ā€

Gong Xun pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let's start the general mobilization tonight!" If Moxi City is attacked by the Khitans, no matter how old or young it is, there will be no way to live! ā€
