Chapter 504: Conspiracy and Conspiracy
"Woo woo woo ......"
The sound of the horn became more and more urgent, and the Wei army's iron cavalry began to attack the Hexi Great Array head-on.
In the face of the Hu cavalry charge, the well-trained Hexi soldiers held the weapons in their hands tightly and remained motionless.
For some reason, looking at the Hexi Army that was waiting for him, a strong uneasiness suddenly surged in Yu Liyan's heart.
He even has a strong desire to stop, but how can there be a turning back arrow when he opens the bow?!
When Hu Cai rushed to a distance of 300 steps from the main array, the Hexi army, which had been silent, finally moved.
Under the operation of the crossbowmen, two thousand divine arm crossbows launched a frantic hunt against Hu Qi.
A dark cloud rose from the formation, overwhelmingly under the hood of Hu Qi on the opposite side.
It was like a pillar of rain coming as scheduled, and suddenly there was a fluctuating scream.
But this casualty could not stop the Iron Cavalry Torrent from stopping, and they still rushed towards the Hexi Great Formation at high speed.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, the fierce Huma crashed into the thick van in front of him.
Poof! In an instant, countless spears pierced out from between the cars and the cars, piercing through the bodies of the hulus.
And more of them were squeezed off their mounts by their own people behind, and then trampled into meat by the iron hooves that followed.
All of a sudden, terrible screams rang out on the battlefield, and the scene was extremely tragic.
"Thorn, thorn!"
The spearmen had been fighting many times, and they had long been familiar with the scene in front of them.
They repeat the same action mechanically, each time taking the life of a hukou accurately.
The spearmen, with the cooperation of the vans, resisted the onslaught of the iron cavalry with heavy casualties.
The cavalry lost its speed, like a tiger without teeth, and could only be eroded little by little by the Hexi army's battle formation.
Yu Liyan, who was in charge of the command, couldn't help but become anxious when he saw that his side had never been able to break through the Hexi Army's large array.
"Quick, quick, rush."
He kept yelling at his subordinates, hoping that they would break through the situation as soon as possible.
As long as the Hexi formation is broken, the Hexi infantry can only be slaughtered by the Wei army's iron cavalry.
But it's a pity that no matter how he shouts, the Hexi military formation is always as stable as Mount Tai.
……
Is this an assault battle? Uncle Sun Jian couldn't help but doubt his eyes.
I think that in the battle of Hepi, it was also attacked by the Wei army, and the Yan army was almost crushed at the touch of a button, and the army completely collapsed.
But in the same situation, the effect is completely different for the Hexi Army.
The people were not at all in a bit of panic, and under the command of generals at all levels, they calmly completed the formation.
Then, relying on the formation, he steadily blocked the iron cavalry rush.
Regardless of the Wei army's instigation of round after round of offensives, it was never able to break through the Hexi army's defense.
If there is no effect, what is the point of the Wei State planning for most of the month? Uncle Sun Jian couldn't help but be a little annoyed and angry.
At present, the Hexi army has become a turtle in an urn, but the Wei army has never been able to take it, is it possible that there is such a big difference in combat effectiveness between the two?
You must know that for this war, King Wei sent the most elite cavalry and the most courageous generals in the country.
If this battle cannot be won again, the blow to Wei will be absolutely fatal.
I'm afraid that no one will ever believe that King Wei is destiny, and everyone should believe that damn proverb.
Seeing that the situation was deadlocked, Shusun Jian couldn't wait to lead his troops into battle.
But he knows the priorities very well, and he will never leave Yecheng easily until the most critical moment.
Thinking of this, Shusun Jian set his sights on the north, expecting Tuoba Lie to come as soon as possible to change the situation on the field.
It's a pity that the reality disappointed him after all, no matter how Uncle Shu Sun Jian wanted to see through it, Tuoba Lie was never seen.
In fact, not only Uncle Sun Jian was anxious about the situation in front of him, but Murong He next to him was like an ant on a hot pot, restless.
Originally, according to Tuoba and his ideas, the victory of the Wei army in the Battle of Yecheng should be nine out of ten.
However, the strength of the Hexi army far exceeded his expectations, and a surprise attack was turned into a battle of attrition.
Both the Wei army and Hexi suffered heavy casualties, which was naturally a good thing for Yan.
However, in case the Wei army was unfortunately defeated in the end, then he Murong He would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
At this time, Li Wei's eyes flashed, and he came to Murong He's side and whispered: "King, it's probably not good if this battle continues like this, we have to think of a way." ”
"What can you do?" Murong He didn't have a good airway.
"Why don't you go and persuade the Wei people and let the Wei army in the city go out to help."
Murong He pinched his chin and said, "Well, what Changshi said is very true, so the widow will go to persuade General Shusun." ”
He walked up to his uncle and grandson Jian and told Li Wei what he proposed, but he was sternly rejected by his uncle and grandson.
Seeing that Murong He had returned in vain, Li Wei couldn't help but be disappointed.
However, he was not discouraged, he believed that as the war outside the city gradually became anxious, the Wei army inside the city would fight sooner or later.
……
Unlike the enemy, who gradually became anxious, Wang Zhenwei always looked calm and relaxed.
The entire battlefield situation was completely under his control, and everything was developing as expected.
Although the Wei army's iron cavalry launched a surprise attack on the Hexi army, the Hexi army quickly gave the other side a head-on blow.
Whether it was the huge phalanx lined with spears or the continuous crossbow and arrow attacks, the Wei army suffered heavy casualties.
Seeing that the Wei army was attacking like crazy, Wang Zhenwei couldn't help but sneer: "Kill yourself." ”
Wang Zhenwei believed that as long as Handan blocked the cavalry in the north, the tens of thousands of Wei troops in Yecheng would not be able to escape the fate of destruction.
A long time has passed, and the Hexi Army is still firmly formed into a formation, without the slightest sign of disintegration.
Even if the Wei cavalry rushed to the front, there was no way to crack it.
The sturdy van not only blocked the Hu cavalry charge, but also provided excellent cover for the spearmen behind.
The spears are like dragons going out to sea, and they are haunted.
When the cavalry rushes closer, it will coldly stab a deadly spear, and the cavalry will die.
The vast field outside Yecheng was crowded with soldiers from both sides of the enemy.
Although the Wei army still seemed to have a clear advantage, the Hexi army, which was under heavy siege, remained calm.
They didn't even have the idea of breaking through, they just blindly stuck to the same place, and suddenly the whole battle situation fell into a stalemate.
……
When the battle of Yecheng gradually fell into a scorching situation, the defense of Handan also reached a critical juncture.
The reinforcements that Uncle Sun Jian was looking forward to day and night were always blocked by Mao Dezu under Handan City.
Under the onslaught of Tuoba Lie's personal supervision, the entire Handan defense line became precarious, and more and more Hulu captured the city wall.
At the same time, the defenders suffered heavy casualties and could only rely on the favorable terrain to fight back desperately.
Mao Dezu knew the importance of Handan, and he was ready to die in battle to repay the kindness of most of the capital's protection.
Since the beginning of the war, although the defenders have inflicted heavy casualties on Hulu, they have also suffered a third of their own casualties.
At present, there are less than 2,000 people left in the entire city, and there are still more than 10,000 Hulu outside the city.
Handan is the northern gateway of Yecheng, once it falls, Tuoba Lie can cross the Zhangshui from the north to attack Yecheng, and attack the Hexi army with Yu Liyan before and after.
Mao Dezu, who was fighting with the enemy, suddenly heard a cheer from the Hulu under the city, he turned around to take a look, and found that the section of the city wall that had been bombed down had collapsed again.
Seeing this scene, Mao Dezu's face changed greatly, and even the horizontal knife in his hand almost fell to the ground.
At this time, a man stumbled in front of him and said with a cry: "My lord, the city wall has collapsed, and the brothers have suffered heavy casualties. ”
"Don't panic, everyone, it's just a short collapse! You tell everyone to hold on a little longer, and reinforcements will arrive soon. ”
But Mao Dezu obviously underestimated the enemy, and when Tuoba Lie saw that there was a gap in the city wall, he was immediately shocked and began to attack the gap recklessly.
Soon more than 1,000 people rushed to the gap, trying to attack Handan from here.
The sun is gradually turning westward, and seeing that there are more and more Hulu, Mao Dezu has to come up with a killer weapon.
The crossbowmen, who had been hiding and waiting for orders, rushed up with several repeater crossbows.
Each of them had two handfuls in his hand and two pinned to his waist, and they lined up in three rows and began to rain arrows at Hulu.
Hu Lu, who was originally excited to break through the defensive line, suddenly felt a darkness in front of him, and countless arrows rained down.
Countless Hulu screamed, and they fell to the ground and died directly after being hit by arrows head-on.
In the blink of an eye, the thousands of hulu who had just poured onto the city wall were suddenly shot like headless flies.
The crossbowmen fired three in succession, forming waves of continuous rain of arrows, constantly attacking the Hu Lu soldiers.
In the sound of swishing through the air, Hu Lu fell one after another.
Hu Lu, who had the upper hand, was suddenly in disarray, and the defenders took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and finally filled the gap.
At this point, Mao Dezu quietly breathed a sigh of relief and finally saved the precarious situation.
