Chapter 239: The Beginning of the War

The assault cavalry of the Jin army had already touched the vicinity of the city gate before launching an attack, although their number was not large, but they were all elite, and their purpose was not to cause casualties to the western army, but to occupy the city gate, so that the large army of the Jin army could successfully fight in the city.

They were only a few hundred meters away from the gate of Suizhou City, and at the speed of cavalry, that is, a few breaths of time, they killed the bottom of the city gate, and at this time, the western army on the city tower had just reacted, and they were clamoring to recapture the city gate and defend Suizhou City.

"Hmph, I'm just reacting now, it's too late, brothers, it only takes a while to resist the attack, and we will be able to make meritorious contributions!"

A commander of the Jin army shouted loudly, military merit, for soldiers, is not only honor, but also a ladder of wealth and promotion.

The Western Army was so slow to react, it seems that the change in weather has made them sluggish, or they are not worthy of the name, and their combat effectiveness is not so strong at all.

The city gate was not tightly closed, so the Jin army easily attacked and seized control of the city gate.

At this time, the large army of the Jin army behind also launched an attack on Suizhou City, 60,000 war horses neighed, and the cavalry on their backs galloped wildly, and launched a charge towards Suizhou City.

The comrades-in-arms in front have already controlled the city gate, and now they only need to rush in, and kill people when they see them, a very simple routine, they are already familiar with the road.

In Suizhou City, Yun Ye and a group of soldiers of the Western Army were guarding the streets, they did not light torches, but just drizzled coldly, waiting for their enemies in the dark.

They formed thick shield walls on the streets a few hundred steps behind the city tower, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Jin cavalry.

Yun Ye was surrounded by 5,000 soldiers of the Western Army, and behind them were 5,000 Suizhou youths, who were responsible for blocking the advance of the Jin cavalry here, and then consuming them all.

There are 5,000 soldiers of the Western Army and 6,000 Suizhou prime-aged people in ambush on the city tower, their task is to hold the city tower, after the Jin army and the Western army fight, seize the control of the city gate, and then close the city gate, come to close the door and fight the dog.

The Jin army, who was charging frantically, did not feel that there was anything wrong, in their eyes, their attack was very successful, and the western army did not react at all, and they easily controlled the city gate, and then killed into the city.

Victory, it seems, is within reach!

But no one found that the general city gates were pushed open, but now the city gate of Suizhou City not only has a door that is pushed open, but there is also a door inside, which falls from top to bottom, like a guillotine, from above to down.

Maybe the night was too dark, and even the commandos of the Jin army didn't find out about this problem, or maybe they thought that the Western Army was not as strong as the legend, and they were only as far away from victory as the city gate.

"Don't panic, everyone acts according to the plan, as long as we do it according to the plan, we will not lose, and Suizhou City will not lose!"

The number of cavalry of the Jin army was too large, far more than the number of the Western army, and some of the young people in Suizhou City began to panic a little, they were afraid that everyone on their side would die.

But at this time, they should choose to believe that since they chose to support the Western Army in the first place, they should now believe in Yunye, believe in their comrades-in-arms, and believe that their plan can be realized.

"Shoot the arrows!"

When the first Jin cavalry stepped on the attack range of the crossbowmen on the tower of Suizhou City, Suizhou City began to pour arrow rain downward.

Anyway, now they have no shortage of arrows, in addition to the soldiers, they do not lack other resources, these resources are all captured by them, they are all trophies, and they don't feel distressed when they use them, as if they are afraid that they will not be able to use them up, they keep beckoning to the Jin cavalry.

The Jin army was originally in order to pursue the Western Army, in order to pursue speed, it was originally a light suit, and later the weather turned cold, and the body was wearing iron armor, so many people would be unbearable to march in the field for a few days, so they were very decisive to discard the iron armor and replace it with leather armor, and many people even wore their own big cotton jackets directly.

However, winter is better than winter, wear more, more thick, and the defense of the bow and arrow is not too bad, many arrows are inserted in the cotton jacket, but they do not penetrate deep into the flesh and bones, at most they pierce into it, and pierce a little skin.

This is an attack on the city tower, which looks a little pale and weak, but at the beginning it scared the Jin cavalry, and then it didn't work.

However, the place below is different, the city tower is artificially shot, and the strength is limited by human conditions, and on the street behind the city gate, that is, in front of Yunye, there are dozens of huge ballistas, and they are the main ones!

The bolts on the ballista are larger and longer than those fired by the archers, and the ballista shoots more powerful and penetrating!

"Poof! Burst! Burst! ”

The ballista fired a rain of arrows, and the Jin cavalry who rushed to the front fell to the ground one after another, some were directly killed by the crossbow arrows, and some fell off their horses and were trampled into meat sauce by the war horses that rushed up from behind.

The defensive power of their padded jackets could not prevent these powerful crossbow arrows, and a single crossbow arrow could even pierce several charging Jin cavalry.

But in the dark night, the cavalry of the Jin army did not see this, they only knew that the people in front of them had fallen, so they just rushed up, on the battlefield, life and death were fateful.

The Western Army was very smart not to light the torches, that is, not to affect the vision of the Jin Army, and they were very familiar with this place, and they could understand this place without torches.

"Crossbowmen, there is a ballista in front, everyone pay attention to dodge the crossbow arrows, rush up, and destroy the ballista!"

At the city gate, after a thick layer of corpses was piled up, the Jin army saw the long crossbow arrows from the corpses of their comrades, and some of the crossbow arrows even penetrated the bodies of two or three Jin soldiers.

They know how much loss the ballista in front of them will bring if they don't destroy it, even if they have a great numerical advantage, they don't dare to play like this, the ballista must be destroyed!

All the roads have been blocked by the Western military first, and now there is only one way forward, the one with the ballista.

Although they knew that it would take a lot of people to be able to destroy the ballista, and even they needed to exchange the lives of their warriors for the consumption of the ballista, until the entire road was covered with the corpses of the Jin cavalry.

But they still rushed over without hesitation, and if the ballista was not destroyed, they would lose more warriors, and victory would be farther and farther away from them! (To be continued.) )
