"Prepare to fight to the death......"

Yuhuating looked at the Yan army camp on the other side of the river under the clouds, and frowned.

"The front line of Shenzhou can't draw out excess troops, it should be the Yan army that has taken action, wanting to divide us, and then concentrate forces to break them individually. To achieve the effect of breaking the line and then breaking the surface with a point. Guo Fei, if we can't hold Jinju in the past two days, then not only will we be finished, but the general's side will ...... The whole of Hebei will be finished. ”

Guo Fei's face has also changed to the usual yin owl at this time.

"How did you know this information? How did you know that the Deep State couldn't pump out the extra forces? ”

Yuhuating turned around, looked at Guo Fei with murderous intent in his eyes, smiled lightly, and said, "Ti Qi said." ”

When Guo Fei heard this, although the killing intent in his eyes was still there, the momentum had already gone down.

"In that case, let's hold on......"

That's where the Tyrants are so powerful.

Even if people hate him incomparably, they have to admit the accuracy of the Ti Cavalry. Just like Guo Fei at this time, up to now, the two news he received from the Tiqi Division were not good, and could even be said to be bad, but his first reaction was still to believe it, and he would deploy according to the news of the Tiqi Division.

For this war, Guo Fei and even Yuhuating felt very ridiculous.

The Yan people went crazy and suddenly attacked the Great Jin, and the northern army was caught off guard. Neither in the season of high autumn and high horses, nor in the year of major famines, the large-scale attack of the Yan army was really beyond everyone's expectations. Just as Hejian Mansion was quickly broken and then lost its territory one after another, Guo Fei's Dingzhou Army was also stunned, and the fierce battles for half a month had already caused the western front of the Northern Army to face collapse.

Today, the number of the Northern Army on the Western Front is less than six percent of the original establishment. Yuhuajeong received the latest statistics in the morning, and the current Jinju Army (the combined name of the Dingju Army and the Jinju Army) is only just over fifty percent of the people who can fight.

There were still 30,000 Yan troops outside the city, and they now had less than 10,000.

Generally speaking, the scale of Jinju City, with more than 8,000 people to defend it, is already more than enough, even in the face of 50,000 Yan troops, it is enough to support it. But things are very different today.

The Yan people actually had a large number of trebuchets, and these trebuchets turned the city wall on which Jinju City relied to defend it into tofu scum, and now there are three large gaps in the main battle wall less than four miles away.

Since six days ago, the Jin army had already waged a tug-of-war with the Yan army on the city wall based on the inner city, and after paying thousands of casualties, it finally recaptured the outer city wall yesterday afternoon. Of course, the Yan army left more corpses in the city and under the city. A rough estimate is that there are no less than 3,000.

What kind of war did it take to reach such a tragic point?

After a night of emergency repairs, although the city wall was repaired, there was really no solidity at all.

It only takes a battering ram to knock a few hits and it is estimated that the mud will be able to break away the walls in several places where the mud has not yet dried.

Yu Huating and Guo Fei immediately sent out one military order after another. Since the defenders of Jinju City were beheaded by Heifudu three days ago, Guo Fei and Yuhuating took over the task of defending the city. Fortunately, Guo and Yu are both the top generals in the Northern Army, and they are very familiar with many generals in Jinzhou City, so there will be no verbosity such as seizing power and suppressing them.

After the orders on the city wall were handed down one after another, the city wall immediately became busy, with teams of archers occupying the best shooting points, teams of auxiliaries boiling the boiling water and oil in the cauldrons, and people carrying extremely intricate eight-ox crossbows to the head of the city to assemble.

Underneath the city wall, there is an open ground about a mile and a half, and beyond that lies a river, which is the Hutuo River. On the other side of the Hutuo River, there were patches of felt tents, and with the sound of the horn, the gray and white felt tents moved, and the dense Yan army came out of the camp, and then stepped on the pontoon bridge to this side.

Yuhuating and Guo Fei stood on the city tower, looking at the black people and horses on the five pontoon bridges, their eyes full of worry.

It is not difficult to understand that the Yan people can make trebuchets, but the fact that the Yan people can build so many and such stable pontoon bridges is something that the two of them cannot understand.

It's as if the Yan people had made all the preparations early, and then came by surprise.

The other party has a superior person.

This is the result of the discussion between Yuhuating and Guo Fei a few days ago.

Youzhou Fanyang Iron Cavalry can make a draw with the elite cavalry of the Northern Army in field battles, although the siege is not a strong point, but there are a large number of auxiliary soldiers to open the way for it, coupled with the reasonableness of the tactics, it makes Guo Fei feel very difficult. Although he won a game after knowing that the main commander on the opposite side was Murong Cheng with a piece of information from the Ti Qi Division, it was a fluke, and Murong Cheng was not prepared. And today, Murong Cheng will not come as brutally as before.

It's hard to fight......

Yuhuating and Guo Fei watched the tens of thousands of people who slowly crossed the Hutuo River line up, and then began to inspect the city defense and adjust the deficiencies in time.

With a low sound of horns, the thousands of soldiers under the city began to move slowly.

The auxiliaries covered the battering ram advance and erected a large shield after entering the range of the Jin army. Move slowly.

Yuhuating raised his hand, and the archers on the city wall slowly tightened the bowstring, slowly raising the bow and arrows to a uniform height angle, and then let go at the same time after a drum sounded.

Thousands of arrows flew into the air, and then when they climbed to the top of the arc, they accelerated their falling speed and fell into the phalanx of the Yan army.

With the change of the drum beat in the city, the archers of the Jin army retreated in an orderly manner, and a group of archers behind them stepped forward with the drum beat, then drew the bow, adjusted the angle, and then shot feather arrows with the change of the drum beat. Then the drum beat changed again, and this group of archers retreated, and the next group stepped forward to rotate.

The drums on the head of the Jin army were endless, and the bows and arrows were sprinkled on the Yan army's position like cow hair needles. From time to time, the Yan army that stepped forward with a large shield died under the feathered arrows that passed through the gaps, and the attack was hindered to a certain extent. There was a battering ram that even killed several people because of the soldiers who pushed it, the rope was accidentally shot and fell, and the huge battering ram rolled off the support, crushing several soldiers by the way.

After entering a certain distance, the collective shooting of the archers of the Jin army is no longer meaningful, at this time, after several rounds of shooting, the number of archers has reached saturation, many archers who are standing or sitting on the city wall begin to rub their shoulders to relax their muscles, and some also take advantage of the gap to paint the bow or do other maintenance.

At this time, the vanguard of the Yan army had already touched the city wall and began the most difficult battle to climb the city. The Yan army's battle to the city was the most difficult and tragic beginning of the Jin army.

The soldiers carrying the ladder had already leaned up to the city wall, and hundreds of ladders were set up on the city wall, and then the Yan soldiers began to climb the city, and the Jin soldiers poured stones or boiling water and oil on the heads of the enemy soldiers on the ladders. If it is convenient, the ladders are forked down with a fork pole, and then the soldiers at the head of the city watch a dozen or so people on a ladder fall backwards, and before they have time to laugh, they will continue to deal with the next wave of enemy troops going up to the city.

The archers, who had regained their strength, were no longer fighting in unison, but scattered to find a favorable position on the head of the city and began to shoot freely.

The casualties of the Yan army increased, and as time went by, the soldiers of the Yan army also increased, and the archers of the Yan army began to fight back gradually. Casualties also began to appear among the Jin army.

The battering rams of the Yan army also reached under the city walls. Although several battering rams were destroyed by the Jin army's eight-bull crossbows in the process of advancing, several also reached the city intact.

The Jin army's defense gradually showed fatigue, but the Yan army's flood of offensive did not decrease at all, as several city walls were breached, Yan troops had already climbed the city walls, and the Jin army's pikemen also began to fight. And as several people who landed in the city attracted troops, several other Yan troops also successfully landed in the city, and after opening up the space, more Yan troops climbed the city wall.

Gradually, the pikemen of the Jin army retreated, and they were replaced by all the small Sancai formations. In groups of three, one with a sword and shield, one with a spear, and one with a hook. In groups of three, they culled the Yan army who climbed the tower.

However, the width of the city wall determined that the defensive depth of the Jin army was naturally insufficient, so soon, large groups of Yan troops climbed the city wall.

However, this is not the most fatal, the most fatal thing is that several battering rams have already launched a charge against the newly repaired wall.

Soon, a city wall was reopened, and although the Yan army paid huge casualties, the follow-up soldiers still poured over in a steady stream to fill in the gaps left by the dead comrades in front.

The boiling oil and sassaga wood that the Jin army had prepared long ago pushed down towards the Yan army at the gap at this time, blocked the gap, and then threw torches, and the raging fire immediately blocked the Yan army.

The Yan army outside the city could not enter the city for a while, and the battering ram was also burned, but the Jin army inside the city was still in full battle, stabbing to death or cutting down the Yan soldiers who were covered in fire and howling in pain, and then clenched the bow, crossbow and spear in their hands, and stared at the gap that was still burning.

Sure enough, a moment later, several figures rushed out of the fire. Immediately after that, there were more people.

Wrapped in wet cloths, wearing black armor, heavy shields in one hand and large knives in the other, these people rushed towards the Jin army in a roar after rushing through the sea of fire.

Black Floating Capital!

Murong City's personal guards.

They were the ones who took the head of Jinju City the first two times.

When dozens of Heifudu soldiers rushed through the sea of fire, a wave of feather arrows was shot out of the Jin army's position, and the Heifudu soldiers with one or two feather arrows inserted in their bodies were unaware, as long as they did not fall down and die, they would get up and wave a big knife and rush towards the Jin army.

More and more soldiers from Heifudu rushed over, and the fire in the gap was about to be extinguished, so more Yan troops from the rear rushed over.

After firing a few more waves of feather arrows, the gap was already full of Yan soldiers. With the soldiers of Heifudu as the front row, the heavy shield blocked part of the spears, and after paying a part of the casualties, it finally completely tore apart the defense line of the Jin army.

Two hours later, the outer city of Jinju was lost.
