Chapter 654: Gaochang Victory

As the shouts suddenly sounded, tens of thousands of Western Regions coalition troops advanced towards Gaochang City layer by layer, like endless waves. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info looked at the dense enemy, and a sneer appeared at the corner of Li Bai's mouth.

"Ready, shoot!"

In an instant, a black shadow rose from the top of the city, like a dark cloud quickly covering the enemy army below the city. The bolts fired from dozens of bed crossbows were like lightning, and in a whooshing sound, they shot through the enemy one by one.

Screams continued to sound under the city of Gaochang, and one after another coalition soldiers fell. When the soldiers at the head of the city saw the bloody scene in front of them, their morale was immediately high, and some of them even shouted excitedly.

King Yanqi was shocked by the power of the bed crossbow, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, muttering to himself: "I heard that Yan Guo has some weapons for fighting, and I was a little suspicious before, but now I know that everything is not groundless, and now it is a big trouble!" ā€

The screams that kept coming out, and looking at the pale-faced coalition soldiers around him, King Yanqi knew that the first round of confrontation had lost.

King Yanqi ordered the ranks to be regrouped and charged again in a looser formation. In this way, the threat of the bed crossbow was finally reduced, and the coalition soldiers approached the base of the wall step by step, and suddenly countless ladders were erected, and a large number of coalition soldiers were trying to climb the wall through the ladders.

After all, those young and strong chariot masters were ordinary people who had not been trained, and even if they had just been inspired by the bed crossbow and were a little excited, they still couldn't help but be a little flustered when they saw the enemy rushing in front of them, and their hands holding their weapons couldn't help but tremble.

Only Sergeant Yan was safe, and he didn't seem to take the enemy, who was as dense as an ant, in his eyes. They have experienced many battles before this, and the most rigorous training they have received is enough to give them the confidence to face all difficulties.

In the frightened gaze of the Che Master, the Yan soldiers calmly drew out their ring head knives and waited for the order to fight, and some of the soldiers even risked being shot by the enemy archers, bravely stood up and fought back with their crossbows.

What's more, Du Bo deliberately exposed flaws to let the enemy army climb to the top of the city, and then took advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to launch a counterattack, chopping the enemy who climbed to the top of the city into pulp in one fell swoop!

Looking at the Yan soldiers who were killing the enemy as if they were strolling in the courtyard, not only did the Che Shiren muster up the courage to pick up swords and guns to fight the enemy, but also made the King of Yanqi, who saw this clearly in the city, break out in a cold sweat.

It's just that at present, King Yanqi has no way to retreat, so he can only continue to rely on superior forces to besiege Gaochang, and finally a tragic siege battle began.

The Western Regions Coalition Army was well prepared this time, and also brought a lot of bulky and practical siege equipment. The people of the Western Regions were different from ordinary nomads, and they may not have as many means of siege as the Yan army, but at least they were not helpless in the face of fortified cities.

Under normal circumstances, the main siege method of the people of the Western Regions is to suppress the city head with archers, and then the ladder will follow! I saw that the feathered arrows were flying on the head of Gaochang City, and the suppressed defenders almost couldn't raise their heads, and the rest of the soldiers took the opportunity to rush up along the ladder.

"Archers - put!"

In the sharp sound of breaking the air, many soldiers were suddenly hit by arrows and fell to the ground, and even Deng Yue was almost shot accidentally. He hurriedly gave the order to let the crossbows and archers on the head of the city fight back.

Both sides have their own strengths, arrows come and go, and the fight is inextricable for a while.

With the passage of time, the disadvantages of insufficient troops in the city gradually revealed, no matter how brave the Yan soldiers were, no matter how great Deng Yue and Li Bai were, due to the lack of troops, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Three thousand elite infantry were scattered on the four walls, with only a few hundred people at the head of each section of the city, and the rest were composed of soldiers and young men of the chariot division. In the face of the siege of the enemy's superior forces, it was only able to block the peak of the army for the time being.

Even more troublesome are the charioteers, who are not only untrained, but also demoralized, and sometimes they can't help but sometimes cause trouble for themselves. Especially at the moment of life and death, and seeing that the enemy is strong, some timid people were so frightened that they were scared to the core, if it weren't for the strict discipline of the Yan army, and the Yan army next to them, I am afraid that they would have fled long ago.

Deng Yue saw that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to Gaochang, so he could only talk to Li Bai about the cavalry going to war, and said: "Master Li, now that the enemy army is strong, please allow the last general to lead the cavalry out of the city to rush and kill for a while, otherwise Gaochang will fall sooner or later if this continues!" ā€

Li Bai still shook his head and said, "Captain Deng, don't worry, it's not the turn of the cavalry to attack yet." ā€

"Haven't arrived yet? When will that be? ā€

Seeing that Li Bai was silent, Deng Yue couldn't help but explain: "Since the battle began, the cavalry has been idle in the city, and they have long been holding their breath. At present, the situation is critical, although it is impossible for the cavalry to go up to the city wall to defend the city, but if they are allowed to go out of the city and charge and kill, the enemy army is defenseless, it is very likely to achieve great results, and maybe they can solve the siege of Gaochang in one fell swoop. ā€

Li Bai stared at Deng Yue with burning eyes and said, "I know what Captain Deng means, but what I want next is not just to keep Gaochang!" What I want is to fight a beautiful battle, beat King Yanqi so badly, and even beat him so that he no longer dares to peep at Gaochang! That's how it can be done once and for all! ā€

Under Li Bai's persuasion, Deng Yue temporarily suppressed the impulse in his heart, and then this battle lasted until nightfall. In the stalemate tug-of-war, the Western Regions Alliance did not bargain for anything, and the only thing they got was only surprise and fatigue.

That night, when both the enemy and us were suffering heavy casualties and were exhausted, Deng Yue finally waited for the coveted order to attack.

I only heard a squeaky sound, and the originally closed gate of Gaochang City was suddenly opened, and three thousand iron horsemen rushed over from it like a flash flood!

There were still people in the Western Regions Alliance army at the front who cheered stupidly: "The city gate is open!" ā€

But it soon became clear that the opening of the gates was not a good thing for them!

The iron cavalry of the Yan army, which had been holding back in the city for a long time, quickly swept away all the enemies encountered along the way with an indomitable momentum under the illumination of the firelight.

Looking at the iron cavalry of the Yan army as if they were entering no man's land, King Yanqi, who was about to give the order to suspend the attack, turned pale.

"The enemy banner is there!" Deng Yue pointed his spear and shouted: "All the soldiers, crush the enemy army and capture the surnamed Yanqi King alive!" ā€

"Crush the enemy! Capture the King of Yanqi alive! ā€

The Western Regions Coalition Army under Gaochang City was originally extremely exhausted physically after a whole day of fighting, and originally thought that they would go back to the camp early to rest, but they didn't expect that the defenders who had been at a disadvantage would suddenly attack, and the attack was still cavalry.

Under such circumstances, in front of the Yan Army's iron cavalry, which had been recuperating all day, the 30,000 soldiers of the Western Regions Alliance were almost unable to resist effectively, and they were all crushed at the touch of a button.

If the soldiers at the front can resist desperately, and buy a little time for the Yanqi King to reorganize his army, he may be able to avoid greater losses. But he didn't expect the soldiers in front of him to disperse too quickly, so that in the stunned eyes of King Yanqi, the Yan army's iron cavalry killed the position of the coalition army without any hindrance.

"Damn it!" Seeing the soldiers who fled one after another, King Yanqi was furious, but fortunately, the Chinese army was not affected, and most of the Chinese army were elite, which was able to block the impact of the Yan army's iron cavalry.

When Rao faced the onslaught of Deng Yue and the Yan cavalry, King Yanqi still felt fear. The smell of blood in the wind, coupled with the rumbling sound of hooves, made him feel so close to death for a moment!

On one side is the elite of the Yanqi army, and on the other side is the most powerful cavalry of this era, and at this moment they finally collided!

"Capture the King of Yanqi alive!"

"Protect the King!"

The cries of the ups and downs were as fierce as the battles on the battlefield, and in the darkness, the sparks of the swords were especially dazzling in the dark night.

Li Bai used a clairvoyant mirror at the head of the city to look at the chaotic Western Regions coalition army under the city, and couldn't help cheering, and at the same time ordered people to beat the war drums to cheer for the cavalry.

"Yan Jun! Mighty! The excited drivers also followed Li Bai and shouted loudly.

The shouts of thousands of people spread far and wide, to the battlefield where they were fighting. Deng Yue let out a wild laugh, and rushed towards the banner of the Yanqi King with a spear at his wield.

Looking at the terrifying Yan army iron cavalry that was as close as a yaksha, King Yanqi no longer had the courage to stay, and he quickly fled to the rear in a panic, followed by the allied soldiers who were chasing the rabbits. (To be continued.) )
