Chapter 7 The Bloody Battle of Fancheng
Fancheng, with more than one million residents, stable people's livelihood and well-organized all walks of life, can be described as a prosperous city.
It is also such a city, which is now suffering from war.
On the city wall, blood stains could be seen everywhere, and at the foot of the city, corpses were piled up, and the speed of collecting corpses was far from being as good as the progress added, and the exhausted battlefield cleaners simply gave up collecting corpses.
Xuanyuan Junhou looked at the enemy camp with smoke in the distance, and his heart sank again and again.
Fancheng is not as good as Guangcheng, it is not a wartime fortress, and the height of the city wall is less than 4 meters, so it is much more difficult to hold on.
And they have already held out four waves of attacks!
Withstanding 4 waves of general attack in 3 days is the limit for Fancheng, and it is even more of a disaster for the defenders! If it weren't for the arrival of reinforcements, I'm afraid that the city would have been ruined and killed, even so, they also paid a heavy price, the arrows were exhausted, a large number of defenders were killed and wounded, and the defenders were also killed in the battle.
"Wang Du, is there any news?"
"It is reported that the main army is already on the way, and according to the itinerary, it will be there in a few days!"
"These days!" Xuanyuan Junhou smiled bitterly, with the current strength of the defenders, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold on to the next wave of general attacks, let alone hold on for a few days!" "How is the battle between the two cities of Incineration and Panyu?"
"The incineration city is fortunate to be reinforced, and now it is not a problem to hold on, but Panyu is calm, and there is no sign of enemy attack, general, do we ask Panyu for help?"
"No, you can't. It was Huangpu Hua who spoke, I saw him look solemn, and said in a deep voice: "The enemy army is divided, Chen Ping led the army to attack the incineration city, Li Yunlong attacked our city, but Panyu City is calm, it is definitely not a good thing, the general don't forget, there are tens of thousands of iron cavalry in Nansheng led by Tuoba Jue and have disappeared so far." β
Xuanyuan Junhou was shocked in his heart, and said in a condensed voice: "What does Mr. mean, Tuoba Jue is in Panyu City?"
"Impossible! If Tuoba Jue really led his army to attack Panyu City, why was Panyu City calm after a few days?" The adjutant clearly did not approve.
"Soldiers, treacherous ways! False and real, real and virtual!" Huang Puhua's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Although the three cities of Incineration, Fancheng and Panyu are far apart, they are both prosperous and one is damaged, any city is damaged, the Kingdom Avenue is open in all directions, entering, you can attack the royal capital, retreat, you can make a detour to attack the two cities of Incineration and Fancheng, this time the enemy army is attacking, fast, accurate, Ruthless, there must be a fine work in the country, it is impossible not to know this, therefore, I expect that the reason why Tuoba Jue did not move his troops was to wait for Panyu City to send troops to help, and the defenders in the city were empty. β
Regardless of whether this guess came true or not, Xuanyuan Junhou couldn't afford to take this risk, and immediately, he said in a deep voice: "Hold on to Fancheng, wait for the main army, and don't ask Panyu for help." β
"Yes!"
The clarion call for assembly once again spread in the enemy camp, and the next wave of attacks was about to begin.
"The order is that the whole army is ready for war, and as long as there is still a breath, the enemy must not be allowed to step into our Chinese territory for half a step. Xuanyuan's eyes became more and more fierce with the large-scale integration of the enemy army.
"Yes!" the lieutenant turned away. "Speed up to the city, prepare for battle. β
Under the city, many soldiers who were sitting on the ground to eat quickly got up, put the dry cakes that had not yet been eaten into their arms, and quickly followed the large army to the city wall.
In the city, the people were not idle, young and strong, pulling a cart of arrow feathers to the city, these arrow feathers were made temporarily, although not as sharp and accurate as the arrow feathers used in the army, but they could barely resist the enemy.
Panyu City.
Council Chamber.
Several generals stood together, Xuanyuan Peiying paced back and forth, irritable, all written on his face, for a long time, stopped his pace, and said in a deep voice: "Someone." β
"See General. "The guards entered the hall.
"Order, reorganize the army, and gallop to the aid of Fancheng. β
"General, no. A general hurriedly said: "The commander has an order, we will hold the city, and we should not send troops easily." β
"Hold on, don't you have anything else to say except this sentence? If Fancheng is lost, what is the point of our army holding Panyu?" Xuanyuan Peiying was furious.
"However, Fancheng did not ask our army for help, and repeatedly showed that it could hold on, and it was really unwise for our army to rush to help, and the commander-in-chief could not afford to bear the responsibility. It was another general who spoke.
"The defenders of Fancheng are only tens of thousands, and even if there are reinforcements to increase the defense, they are only more than 100,000, but what about the enemy? It is reported that there are 400,000 troops.
"General. It was a general surnamed him who spoke, and he saw that his face sank, and he gritted his teeth and said: "For the general, the country is important, for the soldier, defend the land and die, if the general is to rescue the clansmen and ignore the kingdom, it is not the way of the general, please think twice." β
"Fart!" Xuanyuan Peiying was furious and reprimanded: "The kingdom is the kingdom that my Xuanyuan clan has built, if you can't even protect the clansmen, how can you protect the kingdom? β
"Generalγγγγγγ β
"Wang Gui, you don't dare to behead you? β
The general was silent with a bitter face.
Xuanyuan Peiying turned his gaze, looked at the guards who had been waiting for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Order, reorganize the army, and gallop to help Fancheng." β
"Yes!" the guards quickly retreated.
Thousands of meters outside Panyu City, Broken Soul Valley.
Broken Soul Valley is known for its steepness, in the shape of S, with high mountains and cliffs on one side and an abyss on one side, and only a mountain road with a width of more than 3 meters passes.
On the mountain road, tens of thousands of Chinese troops marched slowly.
"General, why don't we take the avenue?" The lieutenant frequently looked at the top of the mountain, and although it seemed calm at the moment, there was always a slight uneasiness in his heart.
"Although the avenue is easy to march, the speed is slow, and now that the war in Fancheng is tight, our army must speed up the pace of marching, and the Valley of Broken Souls is the best shortcut. "Xuanyuan Peiying has always been kind to the clansmen.
"But my subordinates are worried that if the enemy army is fortified here, our army will be in danger. β
This is just a suspicious tactic by their troops, intent on making our troops unable to rush to their aid. Xuanyuan Peiying smiled disapprerovingly.
Suddenly, on the top of the mountain, there was a loud roar.
"Attack!"
The muffled sound was rolling, and the rolling stones and giant trees crashed down.
"No good! Enemy attack, run!"
The sudden change caused heavy casualties to the Chinese army, and many soldiers were stoned to death without even seeing the enemy's face.
In the abyss, countless soldiers fell along with the rolling stone giant trees, and the screams resounded through the valley.
Regret it, it's too late!
Xuanyuan Peiying picked up the chaotic arrows with a spear and roared violently: "Soldiers, follow me." β
The cavalry is in front, the infantry is behind, facing the rain of arrows, facing the rolling stones and giant trees, every step is the price of the loss of fresh lives.
Outside the valley, in the wasteland, tens of thousands of iron horsemen led by Tuoba Jue stood quietly, the war horses did not sound, and the soldiers were silent, and at a glance they knew that they were elite divisions.
"Report!" the scout came quickly and saluted: "General, the enemy army has been wounded, and the remnants of the army are breaking through. β
"Command Tuto draw fire, flank the rear, and not let go of any enemy soldier. Tuoba Jue's face was as usual, and he didn't rejoice in the slightest because of the success of the ambush.
"Yes!" the scout sped away.
Xuanyuan Peiying looked back at the few remaining troops, and his heart was dripping with blood, 60,000 troops, 60,000 Huaxia troops!
Ahead, at the exit of the canyon, the enemy army who was waiting for it was impressive.
Tuoba Jue stared coldly at the Huaxia army pouring out of the canyon, slowly drew his sword, and for a while, tens of thousands of cavalry swords were unsheathed.
Xuanyuan Peiying knew that he was in a catastrophe, he was not afraid of death, but he was ashamed of the soldiers and the commander.
As soon as the spear tightened, Xuanyuan Peiying roared violently: "Soldiers, avenge the dead brother, even if you die, let the enemy tremble under our spear, on the Temple of the God of War, Xuanyuan Peiying will ask you again for guilt, kill!"
"Kill!"
The thousands of surviving soldiers rushed towards the enemy like moths to a flame.
Tuoba Jue's eyes were cold, and his long sword swung forward. "Kill!"
The thunder was rolling, and tens of thousands of iron horsemen galloped out, piercing into the Huaxia army in the blink of an eye, and everywhere the long sword passed, there were fallen corpses one after another.
The cavalry of the Nansheng Continent already has good combat power, and now it is cavalry against infantry, and there is no suspense about victory or defeat!
Fancheng.
The sound of killing was everywhere, and on the city wall, there was a scuffle between the enemy and us.
Under the city wall, the city gate hammer car was paralyzed, and the Venerable continued to be paralyzed, and the Venerable continued.
The high wall defense point of the city gate became the main site of contention between the two sides, and the corpses were piled up like a mountain and the blood flowed like a river.
Xuanyuan Junhou slashed over the enemy soldiers with a knife, and when he saw that the city gate defense point was taken away by the enemy again, he roared angrily: "Grab it back, grab it back for me." β
Soon, the valiant Chinese soldiers reoccupied the city gate defenses.
Huang Puhua held his bleeding left arm in his right hand, retreated to the corner of the wall under the escort of the soldiers, and saw that the enemy kept jumping into the city wall from the siege ladder, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, hold, for the sake of the kingdom, for the sake of your relatives not to be **, guard, for glory, for the sake of meritorious service, to glorify the ancestors, to defend." β
It is undeniable that Huangpu Hua's words greatly inspired the morale of the soldiers, and for a while, all of them were like being reborn, and when the sword was cut off, they used their hands, and when their hands were cut off, they used their mouths and bodies, or tore or hit, and pushed the enemy down the city wall.
Siege ladders were overturned one after another, and there were fewer and fewer enemies on the walls.
In the distance, Li Yunlong's teeth were almost crushed, he couldn't have imagined that a small Fancheng was so difficult to gnaw, and the Huaxia Kingdom was not as chaotic as the temple said, and the soldiers were centrifugal.
At this moment, he realized that he had been deceived! Dong Shengguo was also deceived!
"General, stop the attack! The siege ladder is no longer in a reliable position. The adjutant general looked blank.
Li Yunlong looked at the bones piled up high at the foot of the city wall, his face was terrifying, and he sighed lightly for a long time: "Order, stop attacking!"
"Withdraw! withdraw!"
Under the city walls, the attacking soldiers fled quickly as if they were on the verge of amnesty.
On the city wall, the soldiers were silent, and they did not have the slightest joy because of the city wall.
The Marquis of Xuanyuan stood proudly, ignoring the healer who was bandaging his wounds, his eyes staring closely at the enemy troops who retreated into the camp.
He knew that when the enemy attacked again on a large scale, Fancheng would be broken, because there was not much left of the defenders!
