Chapter 223: Capturing He Qi Alive

In the past few days, the reason why Gan Ning has been besieging Yuhang but not attacking it is actually waiting for the arrival of large-scale siege equipment such as thunderbolt cars and wells that are slow and require huge human resources to be reluctantly promoted.

Gan Ning knew very well in his heart that the army in his hand was too miscellaneous, except for four or five thousand old Jinfan, the rest were either demoralized or scattered, all of which were useless, once he encountered a tough sniper in the siege war, it was very likely that the army's morale would collapse, and he would never recover, so this time, he either did not attack the city, and he had to take Yuhang in one fell swoop with a thunderous attack.

He Qi is very cautious, Gan Ning has set up many ambushes to wait for the other party's attack, but He Qi is not fooled, he only cares about strengthening the city defense, and silently prepares for Jinfan's siege.

The fifth year of Jian'an, June 14.

Woowoo......

The long and long horn sounded between heaven and earth, and the Jinfan, who was ready for everything, finally launched an attack on Yuhang, and the 20,000 troops lined up in a mighty manner outside the west gate of Yuhang, flying flags, covering the sky and the sun, bringing great psychological pressure to the Jiangdong soldiers in the city.

Yu Hang Chengtou, tall figure, handsome appearance, wearing a dark red leather armor He Qi pressed the hilt of his sword, looking solemnly at the black Jinfan army outside the city, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

If you don't move, if you move, you will shake the sky, Jin Fan has made preparations for several days in advance for this siege, and He Qi can clearly feel Gan Ning's determination to win today's battle.

"Beat the drums, get on the thunderbolt!"

With Gan Ning's order, drums suddenly sounded outside the city, and dozens of huge thunderbolts were slowly pushed to the front of the battle under the escort of more than 1,000 soldiers.

"That's ...... Thunderbolt? He Qi's pupils shrank, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly, he had already heard of the thunderbolt, but hearing is false, seeing is believing, at this time. He Qi was still a little skeptical about the thunderbolt in his heart, "Can you really attack the city wall at such a distance?" ”

Syllable! Smack! Bang Bang !!

In the next second, a series of thunderbolt-like explosions rang out. Dozens of boulders weighing hundreds of pounds were thrown into the air, rapidly expanding in He Qi's eyes, instantly bombarding the trace of doubt in his heart.

"Not good! Find a place to take cover!! ”

He Qi was shocked, squatted down reflexively, and hid under the women's wall.

Boom Boom Boom Boom !!

An earth-shattering loud bang was heard endlessly. The entire county town of Yuhang was trembling under the powerful attack of the thunderbolts.

Gravel was splashed, screams came and went, many soldiers were crushed into meat and mud, and the head of Yuhang City was completely chaotic.

He Qi's face was gloomy like water, and his mind was constantly thinking about how to deal with it.

In Yuhang City, it is not that there are no catapults, but the range of these catapults is not the same as that of the modified thunderbolts, that is. Jin Fan can attack them, but they can't touch Jin Fan at all, and the only solution is probably to directly lead the troops out of the city to destroy these powerful thunderbolts.

However, He Qi was very hesitant about this, because he believed that the other party might have expected him to take this step, and if he really dared to do so, this soldier who would kill out of the city. There is a high probability that the army will be wiped out.

"Wait, maybe the Thunderbolt attacks will stop soon!" He Qi could only comfort himself in his heart.

However, the ideal is very full, but the reality is cruel.

He Qi had been waiting for nearly half an hour. The offensive of the Jinfan Thunderbolt still has no intention of slowing down.

After a few days of snares, Jinfan currently has enough ammunition, although the continuous and uninterrupted attack has made several thunderbolts unable to bear the weight and collapsed on the spot, but Gan Ning does not feel distressed at all. Because after a long period of bombardment by thunderbolts, the city walls of Yuhang have been crumbling, and as long as the walls of Yuhang can be blown down in one go, even if these thunderbolts are all shattered in the end, it will be worth it.

At this time, of course, He Qi also realized Gan Ning's purpose, he knew that he couldn't wait any longer, although the casualties of the soldiers were less than a thousand, but the morale was already extremely low, once the city wall collapsed, in the face of the 20,000 wolf-like Jinfan army, their chances of victory were almost equal to zero.

Outside the city, under the Jinfan Daxu, Gan Ning smiled and asked Lu Su on the side: "Zijing, do you say that He Gongmiao will not be able to withstand the pressure and lead the army out of the city?" ”

Lu Su replied with a smile: "If he really dares to go out of the city, it will naturally be great, at least he can save us a lot of thunderbolts!" ”

Gan Ning also smiled: "Wen Qian, go down and prepare, as long as He Qi goes out of the city, don't let him go back again!" ”

"No!" Le Jin answered and took the order.

A moment later, the gate of Yuhang City slowly opened, and He Qi really led two thousand soldiers out of the city as Gan Ning expected.

"Kill !!"

With a resolute determination to see death as home, He Qi took the lead and led the army to kill the thunderbolt car formation in front of the Jinfan Formation.

"Crossbowmen!" Lejin, who had been waiting for He Qi to take the bait, raised his right hand high, and thousands of Jinfan crossbowmen quickly rushed out from the rear and lined up in front.

"Put!"

As Le Jin's arm fell heavily, the overwhelming rain of arrows raged, and between the blood flowers, a large number of Jiangdong soldiers screamed and fell in a pool of blood, and the original indomitable momentum was also followed.

He Qi's face was hideous, and he swung his knife to knock down the arrows around him one by one, staring at the Jinfan crossbowman in front of him.

At this moment, the distance between the two sides is only a few dozen steps, as long as he can lead the army to the front, maybe he can reverse the tide of the battle.

However, Le Jin obviously would not let He Qi succeed, and after the Jinfan crossbowmen released a wave of arrows and restrained the momentum of the Jiangdong soldiers, they withdrew as soon as possible and retreated into the formation, but it was a team of well-equipped and neatly arranged Jinfan spearmen who turned to greet the Jiangdong soldiers.

"Kill !!"

In the next moment, this Jinfan spearmen of thousands took the initiative to charge the Jiangdong Army.

Rumble!

The two black torrents collided fiercely, bursting out bursts of bright blood.

He Qi was murderous, and the big knife in his hand was as fast as lightning, constantly cutting down one Jinfan soldier after another to the ground.

At this time, He Qi was already riding a tiger, and he knew very well in his heart that it was unrealistic for him to want to destroy the Thunderbolt again, but now the two sides were fighting, and once he ordered the withdrawal of the army, Jin Fan was very likely to follow them into the city.

Obviously, Jin Fan had been prepared for everything, just waiting for them to stupidly drill into the trap.

Suddenly, a cyan afterimage flew from a distance, and in the blink of an eye, it was killed in front of He Qi, and the cold sword light with a terrifying death aura shocked He Qi's face to change greatly.

Clang!!!

There was a sound of gold and iron clashing that made the eardrums crack, and in the midst of the sparks, He Qi only felt a violent force surging from his arm, which directly shocked his blood and blood, and the big knife in his hand was also thrown away.

Boom!

Immediately afterwards, Gan Ning's back swept away, and when he was caught off guard, He Qi, who was hit in the shoulder, suddenly fell off his horse, and at the same time as a bloody arrow spurted out of his mouth, several Jinfan soldiers around him also swarmed up, pressing him to the ground......
