Chapter 213: Dragon City Attack and Defense
"General, I wonder if the plan for the decisive battle has ever been finalized?" Lu Bu asked.
"It's decided." Xu Huang explained the plan in detail.
When Lu Bu heard this, he pondered for a long time, frowned, and said, "Does the general's move have a deep meaning?" ”
Let Hou Cheng, Hao Meng and the other five intercept the rout, and they are slowly compressed in a semi-encirclement, which looks a little wrong.
"Hehe," Xu Huang said with a smile: "General Lu thinks that what is the goal of this war?" ”
"Target?" Lu Bu pondered.
"It is to do our best to weaken the power of the Xiongnu and other countries!" Xu Huang said categorically: "In this battle, you can kill as many as you can!" The purpose of this general to arrange this semi-encirclement is not to drive the rout back and continue to kill, after all, if our army defeats the enemy, I am afraid that it will also be exhausted, and if the enemy army counterattacks, I am afraid that the losses will be too great! ”
"What does the general mean?"
Lu Bu said confusedly.
"When our army breaks through the Xiongnu coalition army, we will withdraw and let go of a road to the east!" Xu Huang stood up, pointed to the map and said, "You see, our army is engaged with bacteria under the Heyun Fortress, and then the road is opened, and the defeated army will follow the path."
Xu Huang's fingers slowly swiped across the map, and finally landed in the West Sea!
"When the defeated army passes through the passage, our army will meet with Hao Mengchenglian and others, slowly press up, and drive all the defeated troops to the West Sea!"
When Lu Bu heard this, his face suddenly became shocked.
"Could it be?"
"Not bad!" Xu Huang's face was full of murderous intent: "General Ben wants to drive them down to the West Sea and drown them all!" ”
Lu Bu grew his mouth and couldn't speak.
Could it be that the generals in Youzhou are all slaughtered?!
At the beginning, Liu Yuan killed the Xianbei people, and he didn't spare his hands, regardless of his old, weak, sick and disabled, he was killed in one piece! And now Xu Huang is like this, he wants to drown hundreds of thousands of troops!
It's so brutal!
Lu Bu asked himself very cruelly, but he still felt that he couldn't compare to Xu Huang!
"The general is wise!" Lu Bu really took it, from the bottom of his heart!
"Alas" Xu Huang's face was murderous, and he sighed and said: "In this battle, I don't know how many comrades are buried in this Heyun Fortress, on the shore of Xihai Lake."
Lu Bu was also silent
Dragon City.
More than 80,000 Ding Ling soldiers are coming to the city, densely packed and can't see the edge at a glance!
On the city wall, Xi Zhicai stood with Cheng Pu and Zhao Feng.
"Mr. Xi, you go back first."
Cheng Pu was dressed in a military uniform, and his armor like a tin can covered his whole body tightly.
Xi Zhicai nodded, turned around and went down the city. On this city wall is the territory of soldiers and generals, and he is a sick scholar who can't stand the toss.
Seeing that Xi Zhicai was leaving, Cheng Pu and Zhao Feng glanced at each other and said, "The front is defended by my heavy infantry, and the other three city walls will be handed over to General Zhao." ”
Zhao Feng bowed his head, picked up his gun and left.
Cheng Pu divided the 5,000 heavy infantry into two divisions, one for the garrison. The other part is used as a standby, and where there is danger, they will go there to put out the fire!
Among the 30,000 reserves under Zhao Feng, 20,000 sword and shield soldiers were divided into two parts, one for three points, and every 3,000 people defended a city wall; A reserve is responsible for transporting materials for defending the city. The other ten thousand were crossbowmen, divided into four parts, one on each wall.
Seeing that the Ding Ling people under the city have been assembled and are ready for battle, the city wall is also in full swing.
Woooooooo
A dull trumpet sounded, and the whole world was filled with a kind of desolation.
In response to the voice, I saw four cavalry rushing out of Ding Ling's army!
Three are about 10,000 people, and the other has 20,000 people!
Thundered
At the sound of the trumpet, the horses' hooves stomped on the ground, and the entire city wall trembled slightly!
I saw four cavalry rushing out of the army formation, immediately scattered, and instantly drew an arc and rushed to the four city walls.
Cheng Pu's eyebrows were upside down, he held the machete in one hand and the big shield in the other, his whole body was tense, and his breathing gradually became short! A large sound of rapid breathing came from the side, and the eyes of the warriors turned red!
Thundered
Cavalry, it's here!
Cheng Pu knew that it was impossible for the enemy army to let the cavalry attack the city, but to shoot on horseback! Therefore, seeing that the enemy army was approaching, Cheng Pu shouted: "Raise your shield!" ”
Suddenly, the sound of raising the shield was repeated, and I saw that on the bluestone city wall, a row of black shield walls exuding a metallic luster formed in an instant, connected with the city wall, and covered the heads of all the soldiers!
"Shoot the arrows!"
Under the city, there was a loud and loud drink
Buzz
A large number of arrows flew into the sky and were thrown down!
The cavalry brigade finished shooting an arrow, brushed it under the city walls, and then set up its bow and released its arrows!
Ding Ding Ding
Jingle, dense arrows flew down, hitting the shield array, making a crisp sound of gold and iron!
"Fight back! Fight back for me! Free Scatter! ”
Cheng Pu drank more than once!
The reserve archers, hiding under the shields of the heavy infantry, were ordered to come out and shoot indiscriminately at the city!
Although it is not on a large scale, although it has not been targeted. Dan Ding Lingren didn't have a big shield to protect himself, and when the arrows went down, there were a lot of Ding Ling Qi soldiers who turned on their backs!
In the distance, Ding Ling's army was in formation.
The eldest prince squinted slightly, keeping his eyes fixed on the front.
"Herald, Arman one, abandon the horse and attack the city!"
As soon as the eldest prince gave the order, he saw 20,000 people turn over and dismount, run out of the army, carry the ladder, and under the leadership of the chief, shout and kill and run to the city wall!
"It's coming!"
Ding Ling's cavalry troops brushed the city wall, the rain of arrows disappeared, Cheng Pu looked at the siege troops coming one after another in the distance, and suddenly perked up, and shouted: "Quick! Rolling stones, rolling logs are brought over! Fast! ”
The reserve troops were ordered, and batch after batch hurriedly carried the stones and rolling logs to the city wall!
"Siege!"
When the chief saw that he was approaching the wall, he shouted violently, and his face was full of madness!
Attacking a city is tantamount to sending you to death! Especially the first wave of siege troops, basically did not end well!
If he can conquer the city wall, he will be a hero in the clan, and his status and rights will be indispensable in the future. But if you can't attack it, not only will you lose the most elite warriors in the tribe, but you won't get the slightest benefit!
So, he can only go crazy!
"Shoot the arrows!"
He was greeted by a rain curtain of arrows!
Rows of dense arrows, buzzing and buzzing, poured down like a torrential rain, and a large area was emptied in an instant!
"Shoot the arrows!"
On the city walls, the rain of arrows never stopped!
Reserves came and went, arrows, stones, rolling logs, and boiling oil were constantly being transported to the city walls. Cheng Pu roared hysterically, the archers exerted their strength, shot arrows with bows again and again, and listened to the screams of the city, many people showed intoxicated looks on their faces!
"Take the ladder! Take the ladder! ”
The chief slashed the arrow that had struck his shoulder, and roared as he slammed away the flying feathered arrows!
"Quick! Take the ladder! ”
Ding Lingren's ten warriors carried a ladder and rushed forward, killing three or five on the way, but the ladder still roared on the city wall!
"Climb up! Storm the walls! ”
"Quick!"
One after another ladders climbed the city wall, and the dense Ding Ling people began to climb up in the face of the dense rain of arrows!
Every now and then, corpses fall from mid-air and are smashed into flesh!
Seeing that the enemy army had climbed halfway, Cheng Pugao shouted: "Lift the cloud ladder!" ”
The soldiers had been waiting for Cheng Pu's order, and they had already held back their strength, and at this time, a burst of brains burst out!
"One, two, three, push!"
"One, two, three, push!"
A lot of ladders were overturned, and Ding Lingren, who had climbed halfway, fell to the ground with the ladders, and his bones were broken!
"Rolling Stones ready!"
"Put!"
Thundered
Huge stones fell from the sky with the breath of death!
Bang bang
Every time a stone falls, there will be Ding Ling people who will be smashed in the head!
Suddenly, the city is full of brains!
At this time, a wave of cavalry of about 10,000 people drew an arc from the corner of the city wall, brushed behind the siege troops, and a rain of arrows flew up!
Whoosh
"Good means!"
Cheng Pu's heartfelt admiration!
Somehow, the four cavalry archery units were connected in a loop, end to end, revolving around the city, riding and shooting!
"Human wall! Wall! ”
Cheng Pu roared!
Hearing this, the heavy infantry raised their shields to protect the crossbowmen and reservists behind them, exposing their chests to a rain of arrows!
It's a pity that although the rain of arrows is intensive, there is no way to take the heavy infantry iron can!
Ding Ding Ding
The arrows struck the armor and burst into sparks, but not a single heavy infantry soldier was injured!
Seeing that many reserve soldiers were shot by random arrows, Cheng Pu couldn't stop drinking:
"Reserves stand out! Crossbowmen squat! ”
"Heavy infantry abandon their shields and let go of the logs!"
Thundered
A piece of rolling wood covered with iron nails fell from mid-air, killing a piece of Ding Ling people in an instant!
All the ladders on the wall were emptied in an instant!
It can really be described as hard work and thousands of lives, once back to the pre-liberation period!
The cavalry continued to rain arrows, but the heavy infantry was not frightened at all. Let the rain of arrows blow and blow, and in the small holes on the helmet and armor, there is only an indifferent gaze!
The eldest prince Ding Ling looked at the battlefield and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
With that tin can, this rain of arrows suppressed had no effect at all.
"Do you think there are about how many cans there are on the front wall?"
The eldest prince asked the man beside him.
"About 2,000 people!" Someone replied.
"Well, in other words, there are at least two or three thousand iron cans that have not been played! Is it a reserve? The corners of the eldest prince's mouth curled, and he shouted: "Another thousand people, increase the pressure to attack!" ”
"Slow down, Prince!"
Someone stopped: "Great Prince, if you send an army to press on it, there will be no one available!" ”
Just now, the first wave of cavalry cavalry and archery troops totaled 50,000, and the rear siege troops were 20,000, so they went to 70,000. And after the defeat of Ding Lingren, there are only more than 80,000 people left in the 100,000 army, that is to say, there are only more than 10,000 people left behind the eldest prince now!
"Who says no one is available? Isn't this coming? ”
The eldest prince stretched out his hand and pointed to see that the four cavalry archery troops had returned!
It turned out that this Ding Ling cavalry did not have two pots of arrows, a total of fifty arrows, after several waves of continuous shooting, the pot was empty, and naturally led the army back!
"Divide the half, replenish the arrows, and continue to shoot! The other half abandoned their horses, divided 10,000 men to press up, and attacked the city on foot! ”
The siege and defense of Dragon City in full swing did not affect Heyun.
On this morning, at midnight, Xu Huang gathered a large army, 20,000 heavy cavalry, 10,000 light cavalry, 10,000 heavy infantry, 10,000 light infantry, 10,000 crossbowmen, 10,000 special troops, a total of 70,000 troops, six phalanxes, and slowly pressed in the direction of Heyun Fortress!
