Chapter 113: The First Fierce General of Chengyin City (10th Update)
"Kill-" Zhou Kai stabbed a centurion with good martial arts skills in front of him with a shot, and then Zhou Kai shook his hand and threw the body of this Wuheng centurion horizontally, and smashed it directly on a Wuheng soldier who had just climbed the city wall along the long ladder.

Immediately afterwards, the Wuheng soldier screamed, and was smashed down the 8-meter-high city wall by the corpse, and the spear in Zhou Kai's hand shook, and another Wuheng soldier who climbed the city wall covered his neck that had been stabbed out of a hole and fell on the city wall.
When Zhou Kai stabbed a thousand commanders of the Wuheng clan to death on the north wall of Chengyin City with a spear, these Wuheng cavalry who acted as foot soldiers to attack the city finally couldn't hold on in the face of huge casualties, hundreds of Wuheng cavalry who acted as foot soldiers, from the north city wall of Chengyin City, retreated to the distance, and the surviving archers on the city wall immediately did not give up on the retreating Wuheng foot soldiers, constantly shooting arrows.
In this round of siege, there were at least more than three hundred Wuheng people who died on the north wall of Chengyin City, and the more than 300 Wuheng people who died were almost sixty or seventy people who died under Zhou Kai's spear.
This time, the 13 tribes of the Wuheng tribe united together and sent a total of 9,000 cavalry to prepare to take Chengyin City, a military town on the border of the Great Jin Dynasty.
These 13 Wuheng tribes are not considered to be the big tribes of the Wuheng tribe, and the reason why they will unite this time and gnaw on the hard bones of Chengyin County is entirely because a small group of elite cavalry in Chengyin City has often gone to the grassland to plunder recently, and the grasslands near Chengyin County basically belong to the grasslands of the 13 small tribes of the Wuheng tribe.
This small group of elite cavalry in Chengyin City has brought a lot of losses to their 13 small tribes of the Wuheng tribe, and these Jin elite cavalry are like ghosts, robbing some cattle from this tribe today, and some sheep from that tribe tomorrow, and by the way, they have also killed a lot of people from various tribes, almost without a trace.
The 13 small tribes of the Wuheng tribe originally formed a coalition army, and besieged and killed the small elite cavalry of Chengyin County several times on the grassland, but unfortunately they all returned in vain, and finally the patriarch of the 13 Wuheng tribes discussed and decided to come to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, directly destroy the Chengyin County, and fundamentally solve the elite cavalry of Chengyin County.
If it was put more than ten years ago, or even a few years ago, if they lent a hundred guts to these 13 small tribes of the Wuheng tribe, they would not dare to provoke the military fortress of Chengyin City, after all, siege is not the strength of the nomads, let alone their small tribes that are not strong, their small tribes simply cannot afford the losses caused by attacking a military fortress.
Although Chengyin City is only a small county seat, but because it is located in the northernmost part of the Great Jin Dynasty, according to the deployment of the Great Jin Dynasty, the standing garrison of Chengyin City has 3,000 people, and they are all the elite of the border army of the Great Jin Dynasty.
It's a pity that in recent years, the Great Jin Dynasty has been plagued by natural disasters and man-made disasters, and Chengyin City has also been greatly affected, many border soldiers have become deserters, escaping from this military fortress where even eating is a problem, and the people in Chengyin City have also moved away in large numbers, and the strength of Chengyin City has suddenly become a lot weaker.
Last year, more than 20,000 troops of the three big tribes of the Wuheng tribe jointly besieged Chengyin City for half a month, which made it worse for Chengyin City, and finally although it did not conquer Chengyin County, the defenders of Chengyin City lost thousands of people, and the young and strong men in the city also killed more than 1,000 people, and even Zhou Hong, the highest-level defender of Chengyin City, and Yang Qiwen, the county commander of Chengyin County, were killed in this cruel battle to defend the city.
When the combined forces of the three major tribes of the Wuheng tribe withdrew, the number of the Great Jin border army in the entire Chengyin City had dropped to less than five hundred.
The 13 small tribes of the Wuheng tribe near Chengyin City were very aware of the situation in Chengyin City, so they dared to unite and prepare to completely solve this Great Jin fortress city that prevented them from going south to loot and often sent troops to attack them.
"My lord, are you sending some soldiers and young men from the other three city walls to the north city wall, there are not many people alive here." A military marquis with a tired face asked Zhou Kai.
Zhou Kai is the only son of Zhou Hong, the general of Chengyin City, just 20 years old this year, since he was a child, he practiced martial arts with a famous teacher, after returning from his studies last year, he joined the border army of Chengyin County according to his father's order, and immediately became the first fierce general of Chengyin City, and was appointed as a border military captain by his father.
Last time, the 20,000 troops of the three big tribes of the Wuheng tribe besieged Chengyin City, and the reason why Chengyin City was not broken had a lot to do with Zhou Kai's bravery.
However, the last war was too tragic, and when the army of the three Wuheng tribes had no choice but to retreat to the grassland, not only the partial general Zhou Hong and the county commander Yang Qiwen were killed on the city wall, but there were also three captains in the border army of Chengyin City, all of whom were also killed, and Zhou Kai, the captain, suddenly became the highest surviving military attache in Chengyin City, and the only surviving captain.
The death of his father made Zhou Kai have an unforgettable hatred for the Wuheng tribe, so Zhou Kai selected twenty-eight people who were proficient in riding from the remnants of the border army of Chengyin City, plus Zhou Kai himself a total of twenty-nine people, formed an elite cavalry team, and constantly attacked the grassland from Chengyin City, on the one hand, in order to kill the people of the Wuheng tribe and avenge his father, on the other hand, it was also to loot some property to raise soldiers, and to relieve the people in Chengyin County.
The Great Jin Dynasty has been in the imperial court for three years, and has not delivered supplies and military salaries to the border army in Chengyin County, and has relied on the partial general Zhou Hong to take out his family's wealth to barely maintain the scale of more than 1,500 border troops in Chengyin City.
When Zhou Kai became the highest surviving military attache in Chengyin City, he found that his family's wealth was no longer much, even if the number of border troops in Chengyin City was less than five hundred, he could not afford to raise it.
Although the three big tribes of the Wuheng tribe did not break through Chengyin City last year, when they left, they burned all the crops that were not fully ripe near Chengyin City with hatred.
If Zhou Kai didn't want to find a way to relieve the people in Chengyin City, then the remaining people in Chengyin City, in addition to moving away from Chengyin City, could only wait to starve to death, but even if Zhou Kai took out some of the loot looted from the grassland to help the people of Chengyin City, he did not stop the people from moving away from Chengyin County one after another, after all, according to the situation of Chengyin City and the strength of the grassland nomads, the fall of Chengyin City is already a matter of time in most people's hearts.
In addition to the relocation of the people, the border soldiers of Chengyin City, there are still people fleeing from Chengyin City, when the coalition soldiers of the 13 small tribes of the Wuheng tribe are coming to the city, the border army of Chengyin City is only 409 people, and the people in the city are less than 1,500 households left, and many families only have some orphans and widows, not even a young and strong man.
