At the beginning of December, Micah arrived at the east of Baishan City with more than 10,000 tribal soldiers, and joined Chenglugui, who had arrived earlier. Because he had been reminded of Cheng Lugui in advance, when Micah arrived, he really brought a lot of freshly cut wood, which seemed to be to make all kinds of equipment needed for siege.

If there is a seniority, Micah is one generation higher than Chenglu, and he is on the same level as Suli. However, the Xianbei people have never paid much attention to this, they have always respected the strong and worshiped heroes, and as for the blood lineage, they will only be remembered when they are needed.

After Mika arrived, he approached Hakusan Castle with Cheng Yugui to observe. Micah frowned and said, "The Han people stationed in this city are really cunning, and they can actually come up with a plan to water and build an ice city. Now the walls of this city are at least three feet and five feet high, enough to provide adequate protection for the defenders, and if we can't come up with a good way, we just blindly attack it, I am afraid that it will cost many people's lives. ”

Cheng Lugui did not object to Micha's judgment, he said: "A few days ago, the defenders of the city sent a small team in the middle of the night to attack our camp, and I specially arranged for 4,000 warriors to wait at night. When we got the news, there were about 5,000 defenders in Baishan City, and from what I've observed these days, I'm afraid it's much more than that. ”

Mica looked worried, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Shiren did not hesitate to spend a lot of manpower to build a city here, and his plans were very big. If we can't take Baishan City, a nail will be inserted between the eastern Xianbei and the central Xianbei in the future. In the future, when Liu Shiren swept away the forces north of the Yellow River, he could use this city as an outpost. The consequences of separating and encircling and suppressing the various tribes of our Daxianbei will be unimaginable! ”

Cheng Lugui narrowed his eyes and looked up at Baishan City, two hundred zhang away. Said slowly: "So, no matter how much sacrifice we make this time, we must take White Mountain City!" ”

In the past few days, he has sent scouts to investigate everywhere to prevent the Han people from making other moves. Let the craftsmen of the tribe hurry up and make the well fences, crash cars, and ladders, and when the siege equipment is ready, attack with all your might! ”

In Baishan City, Tang Meng and Lu Chihu were a little breathless. They came to ask Zhao Yun to fight, but Zhao Yun glared at him lightly, and he didn't dare to let go of a fart. Quickly retreated.

Zhao Yunzhiwei has infiltrated into the bone marrow of his subordinates, even if he looks at him, he can make his subordinates feel frightened. Chills in the back.

Yan Rou in the house saw that a majestic and burly man like Lu Chihu was as well-behaved as a child in front of Zhao Yun. There was an inexplicable emotion in my heart. This place, which was originally ruled and ruled by him, has only been more than a year later, and it has changed so much that he doesn't even know it. Some of the tribal leaders who had obeyed him had died under the sword of the cavalry guards, some had fled to the north, and many of those who remained had been stripped of their powers, and now the four major tribal alliances in the city were in charge. None of them were his original men.

Du Ji asked out loud: "General, there are now more than 30,000 Xianbei people from the east. But they are not in a hurry to come to attack the city, are they still waiting for more backups? ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be any more troops coming." Although the eastern Xianbei is strong, it has sent more than 30,000 troops at a time, accounting for about forty percent of their total strength. ”

"Could it be that the Xianbei people saw Childe's intentions?"

"It's not important now, let the soldiers be ready for a fierce battle, and if my guess is correct, the Xianbei people will launch a siege in five days."

On the fifth day after Zhao Yun finished saying this, the Xianbei people really launched a siege battle at noon.

In order to embolden the four tribal alliances, and also to let the five thousand and three mixed troops in the city see the essence of the battle to defend the city, Zhao Yun asked the more than 4,500 soldiers of the Xiao cavalry guard as the main force to defend the city, and the first group climbed the Baishan city wall in the cold wind.

Everyone knows that the cavalry guards are an invincible elite division that sweeps through the north, but the premise is that they are on horseback, and the style of defending the city is obviously more suitable for infantry. As an experienced general, it was impossible for Zhao Yun to ignore this, and he didn't know why he wanted Jin Gui's cavalry to dismount and enter the city to engage in foot combat with the enemy this time.

Du Ji and Yan Rou had the same question in their hearts, and stood on the east gate with Zhao Yun, watching the Xianbei people rush over from a distance with the crashing car, well fence and cloud ladder. Tang Meng, Lu Chihu and other lieutenants were stationed at the north gate, south gate and west gate at this time, so the east gate was directly commanded by Zhao Yun.

"Pass my order, when the Xianbei people get close to two hundred paces, all the longbowmen are ready to shoot, and when they enter one hundred and fifty paces, three salvos will be fired!" Zhao Yun gave the first order.

The herald immediately sent Zhao Yun's order to the ears of the soldiers on both sides of the city wall.

"Order, the bed crossbow concentrates on attacking the enemy's well fences, and does not bother with the ramming vehicles and ladders."

"Order, the crossbowmen will shoot at the enemy troops carrying ladders below the city."

"Prepare the spearmen to stab at the thief chieftain who climbs to the top of the city!"

Zhao Yun's orders came out one after another, and the time of each passage was precisely the fire, which could achieve the greatest killing effect. The soldiers of the cavalry guards in the city were calm and terrifying, they had a clear division of labor, and when Zhao Yun's order came, the soldiers related to the task immediately moved in unison, without half a minute of hesitation and hesitation.

Some soldiers were shot by enemy arrows and bled profusely, and the soldiers who were about to replace them immediately stepped forward to replace them, and the healers waiting inside immediately rushed over and cut the shafts of the arrows with special scissors, and then bandaged the wounded soldiers with hemostatic bandages. Some soldiers were seriously injured and their lives were in danger, so several doctors surrounded the soldier at the same time, fed the soldier pain-relieving pills, and then hurriedly carried them down the city on a stretcher and sent them to the treatment point in the city for first aid.

There were also a few soldiers who were too seriously injured and fell to the battle position forever before they could be treated, but the soldiers nearby were not affected in the slightest, they seemed to have lost their emotional killing machines, and without even blinking their eyes, they only cared about shooting the arrows in their hands at the enemy bodies under the city, and pierced the spears in their hands into the chests of the enemy soldiers who had just exposed half of their bodies......

Compared with the shouting and screaming of the city, the defenders at the head of the city could hardly hear any other noise except for the "clang" sound of firing arrows, the "fluttering" sound of the swords slashing into the human body and the tip of the spear stabbing into the human body, and the clear sound of the heralds. Even those wounded soldiers gritted their teeth so as not to interfere with and influence the other comrades to kill the enemy.

At this time, who else would dare to despise the ability of the cavalry guards to dismount and fight?

According to the rules of the Youzhou Training Regiment, only the soldiers with outstanding abilities in all aspects have the opportunity to enter the Xiao Cavalry Guard, their archery skills can directly chase the archers of the bow and crossbow battalion, their sword skills can be comparable to the soldiers of the sword and shield battalion, their marksmanship is derived from Zhao Yunzhen's biography, even if they get off the horse, they are still the most elite and powerful soldiers!

The siege lasted for about an hour, and the Xianbei people were pressed and beaten by the cavalry guards at the head of the city, and less than 20% of the Xianbei soldiers were able to climb the top of the city, and the result was still to die under the sharp spears.

In the face of the efficient and cruel killing of the defenders, even if the Xianbei people are fierce and not afraid of death, they also began to be frightened at this time, and the defenders at the head of the city did not say a word and only cared about killing, which really made them have a terrifying feeling of fighting the devil.

After paying more than 1,000 lives and more than 2,000 wounded, Cheng Lugui finally couldn't help but give the order to stop the attack, and let the warriors of the tribe return to the camp to heal the bleeding wounds and pull out the arrows on their bodies.

The cavalry guards at the head of the city saw the Xianbei people retreating, and no one cheered, because in their opinion, it was really nothing to repel the attack of the Xianbei people under the cover of the city wall, and if they defeated the Xianbei people on a war horse on the vast grassland, it was worth cheering loudly to celebrate.

Du Ji and Yan Rou, who had seen the battle of the Xiao Cavalry Guard, didn't know what to say to express their feelings at this time. The scene just now was really beyond their cognition, Zhao Yu could actually train a cavalry to the same level as the infantry, which was really breathtaking.

When the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Guard were facing the enemy, the five thousand soldiers under Du Yi looked up on the inside of the city wall and watched with their own eyes, and many leaders even climbed to the head of the city to watch the battle.

The next day, the leader outside the city who was responsible for directing the siege of the city was replaced by Cheng Lugui to Mika, and the person in charge of meeting the enemy in the city was replaced by the soldiers of the three clans under Du Qi, and the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Guard gave hand-in-hand guidance behind them.

It was another fierce and cruel battle of attack and defense, and the final result was still that the besieging side suffered heavy losses, but it could not shake the rock-solid Baishan City. However, Micah was still a little more proud, because this time the casualties of the tribal warriors were slightly lower than the last time, and the casualties of the defenders at the head of the city seemed to be greater.

The soldiers under Du Ji belonged to the nature of the local militia in later generations, and were not included in any of the armies under the Five Armies of Youzhou, although Liu He did not treat them badly in terms of equipment, but because of the lack of actual combat training, they naturally could not be compared with the hundred battles of the first strong army in Youzhou.

It is worth mentioning that after this tough battle, Du Qi's soldiers not only learned a lot of effective combat experience from Xiao Caiwei, but also learned how to rescue the seriously wounded and how to care for the wounded.

This point seems to be inconsequential and is easy to be ignored by many generals, but Du Ji attaches great importance to it, he has been keenly aware of the extreme importance of the treatment and care of wounded soldiers, and secretly made a decision in his heart to set up a full-time medical team immediately after the war, and go to Macheng to learn advanced experience and technology, and improve the medical level of Baishan City.
