Chapter Fifty-Eight: Fangs Exposed
The soldiers of the Chu army are eating, the so-called rice is thin porridge soup, this is the last meal, and the soldiers know that the Chu army has completely run out of food.
Many people are cold in their hearts, and they also know that if they can't break through the city, they can only starve on an empty stomach for a few days after that. The city has been conquered, and three days can be crazy.
Lin Shihong's promise to the soldiers of the Chu army still has a certain temptation, at least it can inspire some courage among the soldiers and stimulate their final madness and ferocity.
The siege of the city is about to begin again, 7,000 people on the city wall, and the dense Chu soldiers are marching forward bravely with the longing for the city after the city is broken.
The death order has come down, and you can only move forward and not retreat, unless you break the city.
Behind these soldiers, Lin Shihong also came to the scene with some of his subordinates, and he wanted to personally supervise the battle, which shows how determined he is.
The scene of the siege was really shocking, because all the Chu troops were dispatched to attack the city together, and the city was full of dense people.
Lin Shihong is making the last struggle, he has to work hard. Stairs were erected all over the walls, and the besiegers were smashed down, followed by people who continued to ascend. The whole siege is very intense, and it can really be said that it is brave to move forward one after another.
Lin Shihong attacked the city like this, even if he was tired, he would exhaust the people who defended the city to death. Of course, Lin Shihong treated human life as inappropriate, and the mortality rate rose sharply.
The soldiers are also afraid of death, but there is no way, the overseers behind them are not eating dry food, and if they retreat slightly, the big knife will be their turn to their necks.
This kind of strong attack suddenly increased the pressure of the Xiaoguo army defending the city, the enemy army rushed up in turn, the soldiers on the city wall smashed down desperately, and the tired people were exhausted, and there was no chance to rest.
The soldiers of the Chu army all knew that they had reached a life-and-death juncture, they were out of food, and if they didn't work hard, they would have to die, and all of them were desperate.
The army in Yugan City also seems to know that the enemy army is in ruins, and if they resist this pass, the Chu army will be finished.
The battle was fierce, and finally some Chu soldiers climbed the city wall. The sound of swords and guns clashing on the city wall came and went, and the sound of killing continued. After a long time, the soldiers' voices began to be hoarse. I don't even have the strength to scream, so save my strength to slash and kill.
At the head of the city, there were constantly Chu soldiers standing on the city wall, and the number of Xiaoguo troops was a little small at the beginning, and they couldn't take care of it for a while. However, knowing that the enemy army planned to break through the cauldron and attack the city in a desperate way, the city began to quietly increase its defensive strength.
Song Hui, Xu Zhi, Gong Chen and other officers ran desperately on the city wall, Song Hui danced and killed like a madman, Xu Zhi, Gong Chen and other generals were busy enough, and the battle on the four walls of the entire Yugan City was extremely fierce.
Whenever there was an emergency somewhere in the city wall, the generals led the mobile forces to arrive there in time to act as a fire brigade.
Song Hui, Xu Zhi and others shouted in his hoarse voice: "Hold on, kill me!" While shouting, he danced his weapons and entered the battle group.
On the surface, Yugan City is crumbling and in danger, but in fact, there are enough soldiers and horses in the city, which can completely ensure that the city wall is not lost.
The soldiers of the Chu army could not eat enough, and their bodies could not last long. A wave of attacks failed, and finally the tide retreated.
At this time, the smoke of the three-pillar beacon rose from the distant mountains outside Yugancheng, and it was timely learned by the defenders of Yugancheng that the counterattack was about to begin, and the army would implement the third set of combat plans.
As soon as it was over, the Sui army's counteroffensive was about to begin.
When the Chu army organized an attack again, there were changes on the Yugan city wall, and there were more soldiers on the city wall, and more and more as the Chu army approached.
Shooting, dense bows and arrows frantically dripped towards the city, and the Chu soldiers fell down one by one, and were strongly blocked dozens of steps from the city wall.
The soldiers of the Chu army were supervised by the commander behind them, and it was not possible to retreat, and advancing would mean death, and the bows and arrows in the city were too dense.
The Chu soldiers tortured by hunger, coupled with the fear of Yu Gancheng shooting dense bows and arrows, were enough to make the Chu soldiers psychologically collapse.
The soldiers hesitated to advance and retreat, leaving thousands of troops in disarray.
The commanders of the Chu army also found that the number of defenses on the wall of Yugan had increased, but they had no right to decide, so they could only send someone to report to Lin Shihong in the direction of Xicheng.
In fact, Lin Shihong also knew and felt that things were not good. Nima, what is the situation that there are so many troops in the city?
It's a pity that it's too late.
In the eastern part of Yugan City, the city gate suddenly and slowly opened.
The soldiers of the Chu army in the distance of the city gate were stunned when they saw this scene, and the city gate was actually opened......
There were also soldiers who reacted quickly, and shouted: "Rush, the city gate is open......
A group of soldiers who did not know how to die braved the rain of arrows on the city and ran forward in a scattered manner, these people had not yet run half the distance, and a very dramatic scene occurred, and the soldiers of the Chu army suddenly turned around and ran back in panic.
The crowd ran and shouted, "Cavalry, cavalry is out." ”
The Sui army in Yugancheng finally showed its fangs and began to counterattack. The distance of dozens of paces may be a matter of a few breaths for the infantry, but for the cavalry, the cavalry galloping out of the city gate quickly rushed into the enemy group, trampling with iron hooves, and the sword swept over the heads of the people and fell to the ground, and it was bloody.
There are almost 6,000 people in the Chu army outside the east city gate, and there are a lot of people, but they can't all be arranged at the city gate, right? Spread out a few miles outside the walls, these people looked thin.
The Chu army fled one after another, some parted to both sides, and others ran back.
The men who were running backwards could not go far before they stopped, for there were also cavalry behind them.
The soldiers of the Chu army shouted, turned around and ran, this time they learned to be obedient, all the soldiers of the Chu army ran to both sides, a group of people ran to the south of the city, a group of people ran to the north of the city, lost their armor and ran for their lives.
Just after the cavalry began to raid, at the east gate of Yugan City, groups of soldiers in armor trotted out of the city gate one after another, quickly lined up outside the city gate, and lined up in a square to follow the cavalry and then join the ranks of chasing the Chu army.
There are many, many of these Sui troops in armor, and they will not be able to finish for a while. Again, the soldiers gathered at trotting pace, and after completing a simple procession, they followed the army in front of them.
Count how many of these armies there are? There are almost 10,000 horses, if Lin Shihong sees it, he won't vomit three liters of blood!
The soldiers of the Chu army fled in panic in the two directions of the north gate and the south gate of the city, but where could the infantry outrun the cavalry with only two legs? The cavalry of the Sui army roared past the front, cut into the third of the rout to intercept, and a burst of killing made the enemy frightened and surrendered on his knees.
The infantry behind the cavalry quickly followed, collecting the prisoners.
The cavalry turned back and pursued the routs again, intercepting another batch before the Chu army turned a corner, and the remaining one-third of the Chu army ran outside the south gate and the north gate.
