Chapter 980: Tens of thousands of corpses
"Rush over and break through the city."
Tu Xiong yelled like a fierce man who didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back.
"Reckless man, let you lay in wait outside this city, with tens of thousands of corpses." Han Sui secretly said in his heart, looking down on Tuxiong.
With Tuxiong's order, the offensive of the Qiang cavalry became more intense.
In front of the city gate, Zhao Yanyun is still sitting in front. The armor on different bodies was stained with a lot of blood, and some places were damaged, but this did not damage the momentum on Zhao Yanyun's body in the slightest.
On the contrary, because of these, it adds to the invincible momentum.
In addition to Zhao Yinyun, the pikemen in front of Zhao Jianyun also changed batch after batch. Most of them died in battle, and those who remained were exhausted.
Although there is the support of the crossbowmen behind him, the pressure is not low when he guards the city gate. Even Zhao Yiyun felt slightly tired.
Suddenly, there was an outbreak among the Qiang cavalry! shouted and killed.
"Kill."
Although the Qiang cavalry in front of them roared from time to time to add momentum. But Zhao Xianyun still heard the difference in this neat shouting and killing.
It seems to have brought a strong man and a heroic. After this shout of killing, the momentum of the Qiang army reached its peak, and it seemed that the city was already crumbling.
But Zhao Yanyun is not surprised, he is not afraid that you will not be strong, he is afraid that you will give up halfway. The Qiang people are really the kind of brave and resourceless goods, and they don't know the gains and losses of one city and one pool, compared with the general trend of the world, it is nothing.
Now although the Chu army has won two victories and obtained Liangzhou, because Han Sui's 200,000 Qiang cavalry joined, Cao Cao's side may also send reinforcements.
In the whole situation, it is actually at a disadvantage.
If the 200,000 cavalry of the Qiang tribe abandons him and goes south, they will attack Jincheng, break the 10,000 defenders of Fazheng, and then attack Qin." Enter Xianyang and Ma Teng round.
With the Northern Alliance adding 200,000 cavalry, the state of Chu also had to retreat. Moreover, because their 70,000 people are in Wuwei, which is located in a remote area.
In all likelihood, it will be difficult to even retreat.
That's what it takes to win. But the Qiang people are brainless, and plan to break the martial power first, and then go south. Isn't that a great event?
"Hahahaha, Zhao Yanyun's head is here, can the dog thief dare to come and take it?" Zhao Yanyun let out a burst of laughter, and his arrogance covered the sky.
"Zhao Yanyun's head is here, can the dog thief dare to come and take it?"
"Zhao Yanyun's head is here, can the dog thief dare to come and take it?"
The soldiers of Chu who were fighting were stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted and helped Zhao Xianyun yell.
Suddenly, a momentum that was high up and did not put the Qiang army in his eyes exuded. Starting
"Break through the city and allow you to slaughter it." Tuxiong's face suddenly turned green, and he yelled frantically. What a shame, what a shame.
Han Sui's face next to him changed, these dogs.
Sure enough, it is specifically not trustworthy. In the transaction between the two sides, Xiliang, including Wuwei, belonged to the Qiang tribe, but the people had to go south with him to enter Jincheng.
Now Tuxiong ordered the slaughter of the city, and in front of him. It's naked, don't take him seriously.
"Just let Zhao Yinyun gnaw your tens of thousands of troops." Han Sui thought viciously in his heart, he had no intention of helping Tu Xiong see the situation in front of him clearly, but instead made a joke on the wall.
"Slaughter, slaughter, slaughter."
The grassland people all like to slaughter the city, the Xiongnu in the early Han Dynasty, and the Xianzhuo, Wuhuan, and Qiang people in the later period, there is no one who does not like to slaughter the city. Because slaughtering a city means being able to do whatever you want.
Adultery and plunder, gold and silver treasures, and countless grains.
The wealth of a city is simply too great. Prior to this, Tuxiong also issued a ban on the slaughter of the city. This reduced the enthusiasm of the Qiang cavalry by three percent.
Now the ban is gone, and the slaughter of the city is allowed. The enthusiasm of the Qiang cavalry suddenly rose by three percent.
"Hahaha, it's good to come." Zhao Yanyun let out a loud laugh again, his eyes were extremely cold. Slaughter the city? When the army of my Chu State pacified the northwest, I asked the Son of Heaven for his life and led the 200,000 Ma Bu army to slaughter the entire Qiang people.
"Kill." The Chu soldiers also shouted.
The enthusiasm of the two sides to fight has once again soared.
"Kill, kill, kill."
"Whoosh."
"Flutter, flutter."
"Ahh
The battlefield composed of various voices was even more chaotic and bloody, with countless corpses lying in wait on both sides, and rivers of blood flowed like rivers.
While the two sides were fighting, a large number of strong men rushed to the city wall, each armed with bows and arrows, and carrying blades.
"General, there is an abnormality among the people in the city."
There was a herald to report to Zhao Xianyundao.
"What?" Zhao Yanyun's complexion changed, and he was suddenly nervous. Even in the face of 200,000 Qiang cavalry, Zhao Xianyun had the confidence to defend for ten months. But if it is an internal and external attack, even if Zhao Yanyun is a real 10,000-strong enemy, 100,000 enemies, it will be a lack of skills.
"Send the strongest soldiers to guard here, and I'll take a look." Zhao Jianyun immediately abandoned the Qiang cavalry in front of him and rode back to the city.
"No."
Two generals agreed and immediately took Zhao Yanyun's place.
"That silver-armored general has retreated, that silver-armored general has retreated, kill, kill." Zhao Jianyun's strength, Zhao Jianyun's deterrence, and Zhao Jianyun's majestic figure really crushed a lot of Qiang cavalry. At this time, Zhao Yanyun suddenly retreated, and was replaced by two faces in this life.
Although in terms of figure, these two faces in this life seem to be much bigger than Zhao Yiyun. But the deterrent effect is much worse. Countless Qiang cavalry howled, and rushed over with their blades in high spirits.
"It's overwhelming." After a while, the two generals who replaced Zhao Xianyun secretly complained in their hearts, only to feel that they couldn't grasp the weapons.
Therefore, I admire Zhao Xianyun even more.
One person and one ride, which shocked a large number of people. With Zhao Yinyun, their pressure in front of the city gate will be so lighter, and the casualties will be so reduced.
Here, the backers who replaced Zhao Jianyun have raised their respect for Zhao Jianyun to a new level. On the other side, Zhao Xianyun rode his horse away from the city gate and headed towards the city.
Within a few steps, Zhao Jianyun saw a group of strong men under black pressure, holding bows and arrows in their hands and blades at their waists. The people of Xiliang are much stronger than the people in the south and even in the Central Plains.
Because of the terroir of this area, coupled with a certain proportion of integration with the grassland people. It has created different races of the Xiliang Han people.
This group of strong men is not only strong, but most of them are also unruly. It's a natural warrior.
"Now that the alien race is attacking the city, I don't know what you fathers mean?" Zhao Yanyun turned over and dismounted, and said politely with his fists. Most of the people in front of them are strong, but there are also a few old men who are obviously the leader.
"Zhao Beijun." An old man walked out and saluted Zhao Xianyun. Immediately, he explained: "Now the Central Plains melee in Xiliang has become very barren because Dong Zhuo took away a large number of strong men. As for who governs Xiliang, the people in the city do not have much resistance, as long as they are peaceful. Today, the state of Chu defends the city. Lao Yu and the others didn't plan to help, but now that the Qiang people were shouting to slaughter the city, Lao Yu and the others couldn't sit still. Cheeky to help the general defend the city. ”
The old man spoke very bluntly.
In troubled times, it doesn't matter who rules Xiliang. But life and death are at stake, and we can no longer sit idly by.
Zhao Yanyun did not despise this kind of straightforwardness, but a fire rose in his heart. The Han people have been divided for too long, and the princes are fighting and fighting endlessly.
The rise of the state of Chu is in accordance with the mandate of heaven. Dominate the world, so that the Han people in the whole world once again erect pride and pride in the country.
It's the trend of the times.
The numbness of the people is not the fault of the people, but the fault of their generals. Moreover, the people are not numb, when life and death are at stake, and the Qiang people are about to slaughter the city.
is not to resist the Chu State, nodding at the Qiang people, in anticipation of surviving the disaster.
Instead, it helped the state of Chu to defend the city. It's also bloody.
"Rest assured, after this battle. This city will always be the city within the territory of the Chu State, and the army of the Chu State will guarantee the city and even the entire Xiliang. All of them are protected by the Chu team, and they will once again open up the Western Regions to prosper Xiliang. The last general is also the Son of Heaven, thank you for your help today. ”
Zhao Yiyun said solemnly.
"The general is serious." When the old man heard this, he immediately bent down and saluted in return, and said.
"Come, invite the strong men to the city." Zhao Yiyun nodded, and then ordered.
"No." A general immediately led some soldiers and invited these strong men to go to the city to defend the city.
"No matter how numb you are, it's a clan. With the help of their people, the city can be defended. It is absolutely difficult for the Qiang people to cross the thunder pond one step. "When thousands of strong men walked up to the city, Zhao Xianyun's eyes flashed with relief, and his self-confidence skyrocketed."
"Kill."
After stopping for a moment, Zhao Xianyun turned over again and went to the city gate.
Xiliang people have a rebellious temperament, are brave and ruthless, and are not afraid of life and death. After thousands of people went up to the city, the fire on the city became even more fierce.
Bow and arrow, crossbow bed, repeater, three arrows that rained down wildly.
"Whoosh."
"Flutter, flutter, flutter."
Seeing that it was raining, the firepower on the city overwhelmed the iron cavalry under the city for the first time, and shot countless cavalry.
The war was fought from day to evening, until the sky was completely dark. The cavalry of the Qiang tribe retreated unwillingly in the sound of horns.
Zhao Xianyun ordered the city gate to be closed, and then dragged his tired body to the head of the city. At this moment, countless torches were lit at the head of the city, and under the light of the fire, the undamaged soldiers began to care for the wounded.
The tired soldiers dragged their tired bodies down the city and went home to rest.
Help the strong men who defend the city, and so do the people.
Zhao Xianyun inspected for a while, stood at the head of the city, and looked down. In the darkness, I vaguely saw countless corpses lying down, and a sneer appeared between the corners of their mouths.
I want to go, but I can't.
Zhao Xianyun fought near the city gate all day, and clearly knew that the casualties of the Qiang tribe were definitely forty or fifty thousand. The number of deaths is definitely more than 20,000.
With such a big loss, even a huge Qiang people can't stand it.
The idea of revenge will also rise, unless the city is broken, otherwise this Qiang cavalry will not be able to leave.
"Your Majesty, even if you fight to the point of one soldier, the last general will drag the Xiliang cavalry for you, and you can use your troops to occupy Yongzhou to your heart's content." Zhao Xianyun faced the south and said secretly in his heart
