Chapter 29, Xingyang North City, Black Thousand Army
(Rely on it!) I was going to send it after I wrote it.,As a result, this network suddenly became unusually unresponsive.,It took me almost half an hour.,It was finally sent.,Although it's been twelve o'clock or yesterday's update.,I'm sorry~)
"It's not good, it's not good, it's not good, general...... This side is a feint, and the Beicheng side is a real attack, and Vice General Li is urgently asking for help, and if you don't go there, it will fall......"
Hearing this, Xu Huang was shocked, and then he realized what he had overlooked.
Maybe it's because he was too nervous before the battle, and because of his habitual thinking, although he was well prepared for the city defense this time, he was far from being able to do everything, just like now in the east city is heavily garrisoned, but he didn't get such "key care" in the north city.
Although there is no arrangement of troops stationed there, but the number of defenders in the city is limited after all, how to distribute it is also a big problem, which must have some focus, and since the Japanese alliance army gathered here some time ago, the east city facing the enemy's camp is destined to become the top priority of the defense line layout, and naturally the defensive force over there will be appropriately weakened.
And what Xu Huang thought was that although the number of garrisons in the north city was not much, due to its special terrain, the city tower was much smaller than that of the east city, and too many people might cause their own people to crowd out their own people, and the generals and soldiers of the Xiliang Army were mostly hot-tempered, and a small space was easy to cause disputes, so I am afraid that if the enemy does not wait for the enemy to attack, his side will be chaotic first, and the result will be worse; Moreover, it is not realistic for these people to say that they completely repel the enemy's attack, but it is still possible to block it for a while. As long as there is a situation that happens, notify this side immediately and go to the rescue immediately.
As for the other city gates, they are not too tightly guarded, it is also because of the environmental problems around Xingyang City, there is a river near the southern city, and the river is turbulent and difficult to pass at this time, and it will also be an obstacle for the alliance army; And Xicheng, behind which is relying on Dong Zhuo's base camp that the princes' coalition forces have not yet been able to reach, who knows what means Li Ru has prepared in this place, the only more realistic ones are the east and north gates, which is why Xu Huang attaches more importance to these two city gates.
This is the basic situation of the four relatively large gates of Xingyang City. As for those small city gates. Not to mention, it is relatively remote, and there are always some obstacles in the corners that depend on the terrain, and there are not too many soldiers to be sent. Otherwise, it can't be accommodated. But the troops are too small and it is difficult to attack. This is a dilemma, a tangle.
And now he suddenly heard that Beicheng was about to fall, Xu Huang was shocked but did not hesitate, and the reality did not allow him to hesitate more. The more time delayed, it would be his own life, and he immediately ordered one of his henchmen to lead 3,000 men and horses to support.
Once the deterrence such as archers is reduced, those ladders will soon rush over one after another with lightning speed, and the enemy army will also climb up, Lu Bu will definitely not let go of such an opportunity, just he will rush up and kill the Quartet alone, and he will make these soldiers under his command unbearable, let alone let the enemy troops rush up, and then I am afraid that it will be the countdown when the city is broken.
Xu Huang thought a lot, and he thought very clearly, not to mention the terrain in the northern city, it was meaningless for too many people to go over, and it would only squeeze the space.
If Xu Huang really knew the current situation at the North City Gate, I am afraid he would not have made such a decision.
At this time, Xingyang Beicheng, facing the outside of the city, is an army with no more than 10,000 people, the interesting thing is that most of this army are cavalry, and these cavalry at this time have no action at all, and only the infantry who really executes the siege order is less than a thousand of them.
However, these infantry seem to be well-trained, and the armor they wear is all black, and even if they are fully armed, they can't hide the explosive body hidden inside, and every step forward is extremely solid and powerful.
At this time, each of them held a shield in his hand to block the bow and arrow from the castle tower in front of him, and on the other hand, he either carried his own weapon or carried a ladder.
Although most of the Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo has passable archery skills, there are almost no blocks of tight and orderly shields under the city tower, and there is no way to disperse the shield array by relying on the impact of the group arrow rain, and I am sorry that I can't do it here.
What is even more speechless is that even if some arrows can be hit through the gaps in the middle of the shields or the flaws that leak during their journey, they will be blocked by the armor they wear, and they will not be hurt at all, so they are simply invulnerable.
In particular, the defenders on the city tower are powerless that their bows and arrows can't help each other, but the other party can take out a kind of arm crossbow in his hand to be able to shoot five arrows in a row, and the following can actually shoot the people among them, but not all fired together but mixed, after a hundred people on this side shot it, a hundred people on the other side immediately continued to shoot, none of them stopped, and it didn't look like it was specifically aimed at anything, but it was said that there was not much space on the city tower, and the distance between thousands of soldiers was not far, So it's very easy to hit the target, and sometimes it's like they're rushing over to shoot them.
The person who presides over the overall situation here in Beicheng is a deputy general surnamed Li under Xu Huang, who is a distant relative of Li Ru, but of course he can not rely on nepotism to achieve his position, this is not Li Ru's style, he still has some ability, but if he dies, he is a deputy general, otherwise he would not be older than Xu Huang when he entered the Xiliang Army, and now he has become his subordinate.
Now in the face of this situation, he also felt helpless, thinking that these people would soon rush to the city tower, with the fact that these people under his hands could not resist this group of monsters who were the elite of the elite at first glance, and they had to transfer troops from General Xu.
However, he knew very well in his heart that the situation on the Dongcheng side might not be easy now, so if he just said that he might not be able to summon reinforcements as he wished if he encountered a group of monsters, he had to exaggerate.
In his opinion, Xu Huang would not be worse than his own side, but he was really frightened by these monsters in black helmets and black armor, obviously there were only about a thousand people, but a torrent of steel seemed to gradually engulf them.
The heavy breathing of the soldiers beside him, as well as those distracted eyes, were also what prompted him to make up his mind.
It is also because of this that he sent people to the East City Gate to shout at Xu Huang, the main general of the Xingyang City garrison, and Xu Huang did not think about it carefully at that time, so he sent 3,000 people over.
With these 3,000 people, the North City Tower, which was originally not enough space, was a little smaller, but fortunately, it was able to accommodate the small range of free activities of these people on the City Tower, and to Vice General Li's surprise, there were still many archers among them, so they quickly ordered them to immediately enter the battle, this joining, the power of the bow and arrow increased, and the pace of the 1,000 black armor army below finally slowed down and even began to have some casualties.
Adjutant General Li was overjoyed, both happy that his idea had come true, and relieved that he was finally able to restrain the enemy, at least it proved that the enemy was not as invincible as he thought. (To be continued......)
