Chapter 463: The Battle in Hexi

Hexi County.

Ye Minzhong's army of more than 500,000 invaded Hexi County, he did not rush forward, but completely surrounded the royal city, preparing to wipe out Liao Yun and Qin Shuang's army first, and then completely take Hexi.

In fact, Ye Minzhong was also hesitating, many generals said that they should take Hexi County first, and after taking the water military camp on the bank of the Yangtze River, they would control the port in their own hands and then go back to eliminate Liao Yun.

In this way, the army of more than 100,000 people of Liao Yun and others has become the difference between the urns, and there is only one way to die.

But Ye Minzhong was thinking that although Liao Yun had been defeated before, with Qin Shuang's army, there were still 160,000 people!

160,000! This is not a small amount, if you fight back, it is very likely that you will turn defeat into victory, and then it will be troublesome, so, for the sake of safety, Ye Minzhong is ready to concentrate his forces to avoid being broken by others.

An army of 500,000 surrounded Wang Cheng and did not give Liao Yun and the others any chance.

It was now noon, and Ye Minzhong was personally leading the army to attack the city.

Today is the second siege of the city, the day before yesterday when the siege of the city, it was lost, it was not captured, this time he used a hundred trebuchets again. There are also secret weapons, but there are not many secret weapons, and they can only last for an hour.

In other words, if the royal city has not been captured after an hour of continuous bombardment, then it can only be an honest siege.

More than 100,000 troops were erected under the city, and as far as the eye could see, it was boundless, and on the city wall, Liao Yun and Qin Shuang frowned at the same time.

This is a severe challenge for them, if they don't fight well, they are likely to lose the city and lose their ground, if they are in vain today, all their previous efforts will be in vain, just like the Min Ling in the past, the horse leather shroud is returned, and the blood is spilled on the field.

But the two will not be afraid, they will face it bravely.

Liao Yun was a bandit seven years ago, and now he has become a general who commands hundreds of thousands of troops, and he has passed the glory. The big deal is death, and even if you die, it's worth it, because Wang Xu will give the Liao family the highest honor. Will give him what he deserves.

Qin Shuang is the same, a little-known person, has become a majestic general, and he has no regrets about the incident.

"General Liao. We have at least five days to wait, and Your Majesty will definitely send troops to come. ”

Liao Yun nodded, he also thought so in his heart, as long as he persevered, when Wang Xu led the army to come, the mentor could join forces with Wang Xu and gather the people of the Snow Region.

From beginning to end, neither of them thought that Wang Xu would give up Hexi County, because it was impossible, not to mention that the people of the Snow Region must be eliminated. This Hexi County is a big rear, a territory of 4,000 miles, how can you say give up?

Therefore, Wang Xu will definitely come, persistence is victory!

Liao Yun looked at the distance under the city with a telescope in his hand, and said worriedly: "Today, the enemy has prepared a large number of trebuchets, and it seems that they want to repeat their old tricks and want to bombard our city wall. ”

"How high are our walls so high that the enemy's trebuchets can really reach them?"

Hearing this, Liao Yun said, "Didn't I tell you?" Their trebuchets are unusually tall and have a long range, plus they are small and light in smashing eggs, so. There is no problem at all with throwing it up the walls. ”

Liao Yun took a deep breath: "Let the brothers remove all the red-clothed cannons, three-bow bed crossbows, etc., it's useless to put them in the city." ”

"Okay."

........

Under the city, beside Ye Minzhong, an adjutant general suddenly said: "King, the second batch of bombs of Gao Quan has not arrived yet?" ”

Speaking of this, Ye Minzhong was angry.

"I can't come. That old guy, after receiving the king's money, refused to deliver the goods, and when I march into the Central Plains, I will definitely make him look good! ”

The adjutant said: "If the second batch of secret weapons does not come, then our stock is not much, and it can only last for an hour." ”

"An hour is an hour, transfer all the trebuchets to me, bombard a tea kung fu first, and then attack the city, and when the city is attacked, use the trebuchet to assist in the attack."

"The king is really a good move." The adjutant general smiled, waved his big hand, and suddenly, the soldiers retreated one by one the trebuchets, and slowly advanced under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers.

Cheng, Liao Yun saw that Ye Minzhong had moved the trebuchet out again, and he immediately ordered all the soldiers to go down to the city, retreat to the city, stand by under the city, and wait until the cannons stopped, and then go up to the city wall.

In this way, it is possible to delay the fighters, maybe by the time the soldiers go to the city again, the enemy has already rushed to the city wall, but there is no way, the last time I have seen the power of the enemy's shells, if the soldiers forcibly defend the city, there will definitely be heavy casualties!

As the minutes ticked by, the trebuchets under the city were finally in place, and at the same time, the defenders of the royal city retreated to the city, ready for battle.

"Trebuchet ready."

"Reload the shells."

"Launch!"

........

As the right hand of the banner soldier slashed, countless traces crossed the sky, and the fireball shot straight into the city wall.

Boom Boom Boom !!

The earth-shattering sound continued to sound, and the city walls were buried in black smoke, the sound was terrifying, unimaginable, and the shaking here was extremely huge, even the soldiers on standby under the city could feel it.

The soldiers secretly rejoiced that they didn't stay in the city, otherwise they would have been crushed.

"It's still the general who is prescient."

"General, the enemy's secret weapons are too many, will we lose the city like this?"

......

Cheng downstairs, the soldiers looked at Liao Yun and asked.

In fact, Liao Yun didn't know, but in order not to let the soldiers lose their fighting spirit, he could only affirm: "Brothers, don't be afraid, the enemy will only have this shell, and when they finish fighting, it will be our turn." ”

"Your Majesty's army is on its way, as long as we hold out for a few days, we can join forces with His Majesty's army and annihilate the people of the Snow Region in one fell swoop."

"Now the enemy is attacking, as soon as the artillery stops, you will all rush up for me, strictly guard your posts, and don't let the enemy rush to the city!"

After Liao Yun finished speaking, he suddenly roared: "Do you have confidence? ”

"Yes! Yes! Yes! ”

........

The soldiers raised their spears and shouted.

.............

"Brothers, the cannons have stopped, charge me."

After the tea, Liao Yun suddenly roared, and at the same time, he took the lead, raising his knife and rushing towards the city wall.

When they came to the city wall, the soldiers saw that the enemy under the city had rushed to the front, and many of them were setting up ladders to the top of the city, and the enemy's siege towers had also been transported, and the situation was very critical.

"Block me from the enemy."

"Crossbow, shoot!" (To be continued.) )
