After dawn, Jin Wushu counted the losses, more than 150 tents were burned by the Jizhou army, more than 1,500 sleeping soldiers were engulfed in the fire, and another 26,700 people died due to trampling on each other when the Han army attacked the camp or were unfortunately hacked to death and shot to death by the Jizhou army, a total of more than 4,000 people were lost, plus the commander Han Chang died in battle.
The morale of the Karasuma army was greatly hit, the morale of the army was weakened, the soldiers were afraid of the Jizhou army like a tiger, even if the golden vulture racked their brains, there was no improvement, in the next ten days, although the Karasuma army launched attacks again and again, but except for throwing down hundreds of corpses under the Yulin Pass, there was no progress at all, and the siege of the Karasuma army did not even touch the head of the city.
'Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ’
The negative offensive of the Karasuma army for more than ten days made the Jizhou army in Yulin Pass a little relaxed, and at this time, there was a sudden sound of earth-shattering war drums, and the captain of the city gate hurriedly went down the city tower to report to the main general Qin Qiong.
Qin Qiong took the deputy generals Yuwen Chengdu, Li Siye, Xue Wanche, and Cheng Yanjin to hurriedly go to the city wall, and when he looked around, he saw that the Karasuma camp was boiling, and then saw that the Chinese military department had erected the royal flag, Qin Qiong looked at everyone with a solemn face, "It seems that Karasuma Khan Yuwen Yong has arrived!" ”
Xue Wanche bowed his head and said: "It shouldn't be wrong, the Hu people worship heroes, and only the arrival of the Great Khan can make them so crazy and boiling." ”
Qin Qiong immediately waved his hand, "The whole army is on the city wall, I'm afraid that the Karasuma army will attack the city soon!" ”
At the same time, in the Karasuma camp, Yuwen Yong rode on a tall divine horse, and looked coldly at the towering Yulin Pass city wall in the distance.
In front of the horse, Jin Wushu was trembling and kneeling, and after a long time, Yuwen Yong said indifferently: "Wanyan Zongbi, you are not good at attacking the city, you have lost consecutive battles, and you have lost nearly 10,000 people, thinking that you were diligent and conscientious in the past, and you were quite meritorious to the great cause of our clan, spare you a death, remove you from the post of Ye Hu, and be demoted to the commander of ten thousand masters, can you be convinced?" ”
The bureaucratic system of the Karasuma people is relatively simple, only four positions are set up: Ye Hu, Wan Commander, Thousand Commanders, and 100 Chiefs, of which Ye Hu commands 50,000 troops, Yuwen Yong is only able to stand, and sets up three Ye Hu, which are Wei Chi Zhen, Jin Wushu and Yuwen Shu, and now Jin Wushu lost the first battle, and the soldiers were defeated, and Jin Wushu was demoted to one level and was also convinced, and bowed down: "Xie Da Khan's grace not to kill, his subordinates are convinced!" ”
Yuwen Yong waved his horsewhip and motioned for Jin Wushu to retreat to the side, and then said slowly: "Yulin Pass is dangerous, who dares to attack the city?" ”
At this time, the middle-aged man next to him first stared at the direction of Yulin Pass with a cold gaze like a leopard, and then turned over and dismounted and said: "Khan, your subordinate Yuwen Shu is asking for battle, and he will take Yulin Pass within five days!" ”
"Okay, worthy of Uncle Wang of Ben Khan, I am sending Li Hu and Li Bi to assist you, and I will capture Yulin Pass in five days."
Yu Wenyong took one last look at the direction of Yulin Pass, and said lightly: "The defenders of Yulin Pass are bold and reckless, blocking our army for more than ten days, and even killing nearly 10,000 warriors of our royal court, capturing the city, and leaving no chickens and dogs!" ”
Yu Wenshu arched his hand, "No! He waved his hand, "Kill me!" “
The 50,000 troops of Yuwenshu's headquarters, plus Li Hu and Li Bi sent by Yuwen Yong to assist, and the 20,000 Praetorian Guards under the jurisdiction of Yuwen Yong, a total of 70,000 troops, marched towards Yulin Pass, thousands of big drums beat, and the drums sounded like thunder. Dozens of miles away, it could be heard that the 70,000-strong army was murderous. The dense army swept towards Yulin Pass, twenty miles away, with an unstoppable murderous aura.
Flags were displayed on the wall of Yulin Pass, and 10,000 Jizhou troops stood in line at the head of the city, holding bows and arrows, all with resolute eyes. More than 200 trebuchets stood like giants at the head of the city.
Qin Qiong stood on the battlements with his hands in his hands. Staring at the Karasuma army that was slowly moving in the distance, the 70,000 Karasuma army was dressed in leather armor, holding shields and spears, shouting and killing shook the sky, and more than 100 cloud ladders were lined up, and they were marching towards the head of the city.
Qin Qiong squinted at the Karasuma army under the city, and ordered loudly: "Trebuchets, crossbowmen, release!" “
The drums at the head of the city sounded loudly, and more than 200 trebuchets started at the same time, and the long arm swinged, throwing dozens of pounds of boulders into the air, and hundreds of boulders swirled in the air, whistling and smashing towards the dense crowd, 'Boom! The boulder fell, rolled in the crowd, the red snow foam rose into the air, more than a dozen people were smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, miserable, one after another boulders smashed into the crowd, one after another screams.
But apparently this time, the Karasuma army had become very frantic because of the encouragement of Khan Yuwen Yong's arrival, and rushed towards the city wall with a shout against the large rocks that kept whizzing overhead. Under the unafraid attack of the Karasuma army, the dense crowd got closer and closer to the city wall.
The first ladder approached the city wall, hundreds of soldiers jerked the rope backwards, and a ladder six or seven feet high was pulled up, and dozens of soldiers were attached to the ladder.
'Boom' a loud sound, the first ladder on the city, followed by more than 40 ladders on the city, thousands of Karasuma soldiers like an ant colony desperately rushed to the city, the arrows on the city were like dense rain, the rolling wood and stones were smashed down like hailstones, the knife split spear stabbed, the flesh and blood flew sideways, the soldiers of the Jizhou army used a long fork to fork the ladder and pushed outward, a long ladder was pushed out, turned backwards and down, the ladder sound was a terrible cry.
The Karasuma army, which rushed to the castle, began to counterattack, and the arrows rained down on the castle, and the soldiers at the castle head were constantly shot, screaming and falling from the castle, and the casualties gradually increased.
Yu Wenshu was overjoyed when he saw that he had rushed to the city after the battle, and ordered loudly: "Sima Dejiao, you lead 10,000 elite soldiers to go up." “
Sima Dejiao, who was carried out by Yu Wenshu, immediately pulled out his war knife and shouted: "Brothers, rush with me!" ”
Sima Dejiao was the most courageous commander under Yuwenshu's command, and his army of 10,000 was the most elite in Yuwenshu's hands.
Seeing that the head of the city was in danger, Qin Qiong roared and struck towards the Karasuma army that attacked the city.
