Chapter Ninety-Five: The Last Madness
At around 6 o'clock in the evening, with the afterglow of the setting sun, Ye Teng could already see the city and the camp tent of the Xianbei army in the distance, which were still in the midst of a tragic battle.
And not far from him, Ye Teng found the old man who was famous in his previous life and had several connections in this life - Shen Yuyang of Xue Weiyang! Although she didn't know herself.
At this time, she was leading 20,000 junior special troops, the Han Army Iron Cavalry, anxiously looking at the army led by Xue Weiyang at the head of Pingcheng City to fight to the death with the enemy, but she restrained her subordinates to continue to wait silently.
As a general with a hundred battles in just a few years, and he also has the strength of a yellow-level general, although Shen Yuyang is not good at strategy, but choosing the right time can play a key role, she actually understands better than anyone else that in terms of grasping the opportunity on the battlefield, maybe she is stronger than Zhu Weixuan, after all, she is the one who has been in command for a long time.
This is also the reason why she has always been trusted by Shangguan Xue'er to lead the most elite army in her territory.
Although she is not like Zhu Weixuan, who has the danger of mountains and streams, nor is she like Shangguan Xue'er, who has the strictness of the city, but as the only heiress of a first-class family, although her background is not as prominent as Shangguan Xue'er, the training she has received since childhood is not much less than that of Shangguan Xue'er. Although her upright personality determines that she habitually does not consider officialdom calculations and strategic planning, it does not mean that she does not understand, as a girl who has always been able to stand on a par with Shangguan Xueer and Zhu Weixuan, and is regarded as a best friend by Yan Ruoyu, Shen Yuyang is still a leader of her generation with exquisite thoughts!
Glancing at the figure covered with a black scarf from a distance, Shen Yuyang confirmed that he was the person he had seen in the Luoyang Hero Tower.
Here and now, naturally, it is not a good opportunity for the two of them to fall in love with each other. Ye Teng ran south and headed towards the destination of this trip, although he could not get in touch with Yan Ruoyu, he learned from the forum that the Yan family was responsible for guarding the south gate of Pingcheng.
It was another sunny morning, and it was the third day that the Xianbei people had used a wave of siege tactics. From 7 o'clock in the morning, the arrogance of the Xianbei people is as high as the previous two days, maybe after today, the young and strong lives of the small tribes will be consumed, I don't know if tomorrow the Xianbei people will let the royal army also ignore the use of wave siege tactics. How long can the harsh punishment of the Xianbei people in the siege war last?
Yan Ruoyu is still supervising the battle in the city tower, and sometimes fills in the gaps as a fire chief. For more than two days, because Yan Ruoyu is fair, often appears in the most needed places to block the gun's hole, coupled with her own high martial arts, and leads the mid-level special military back army, so in the minds of the soldiers, including the players, the prestige is getting higher and higher.
When Yan Ruoyu thought that this day would be like yesterday, and it would pass smoothly with heavy casualties on both sides and gritting their teeth, Ye Teng once again stepped on the Khan Mountain and destroyed the Xianbei tribe in the central part of the country.
Yan Ruoyu understands that success or failure is within the next 24 hours, and there are only two final results: or, the remaining Xianbei people completely collapse and scatter and dodge; Or, the city of Pingcheng will be destroyed and the whole city will be slaughtered!
The Xianbei people still have an elite army of nearly 2 million, and the Xianbei army in the south also has more than 400,000, if the other party keeps fighting in waves for 24 hours, Yan Ruoyu is not sure whether the city can be defended.
Although there is a strong city to rely on, but one man is desperate, and a hundred people are terrified, not to mention the dying struggle of nearly 2 million elite troops? Although there are still more than 1.8 million defenders in the city, their desperate spirit is certainly not as good as that of the dying Xianbei people, and the level of exhaustion is better than that of the other party. So, the situation has reached an existential crisis!
Throughout the day, the enemy climbed up the city in waves, but never saw a single Xianbei person return to the city alive. What's even more cruel is that even if the Xianbei people have attacked the city, the covering shooting of the Xianbei cavalry under the city has never stopped!
By noon, the young and strong lives of the Xianbei small tribe had been exhausted, and in the afternoon, the soldiers of the Xianbei Royal Court Headquarters had been lost, but the intensity of the siege had not weakened in the slightest.
At dusk, the southern wall of Pingcheng was already dilapidated, as if the Xianbei people attacked again, and the defenders would collapse; Not only did the soldiers fall stubble after stubble like wheat harvesting, but almost all of them were wounded and exhausted, as if they would collapse in the next wave of Xianbei people's frenzied attacks; In the past three days, the 650,000 defenders of Nancheng have been reduced by a full 200,000, and among the remaining people, there are still 20,000 or 30,000 seriously wounded who will not be able to go to the battlefield in the short term! This is also due to the emergence of the Life Corridor, which has greatly reduced the proportion of casualties. Among them, there are more than 160,000 left in the Yan family, and the average family of the other four families is about 70,000 people.
The last moment came, according to the consensus reached between Yan Qingju and all parties before, starting from six o'clock, the other four families took turns to guard each for an hour and a half for the first six hours, and the Yan family took the responsibility for the six hours after midnight. The next day, from six o'clock to half past nine o'clock in the daytime, a total of three and a half hours, the other four houses that had rested for half a night were responsible for the defense.
Anyway, it is impossible for the Xianbei people's attack intensity to weaken throughout the night, and as for how many people will be left when each family withdraws from the city, it depends on their own strength and luck.
An iron law agreed upon by the five families reflects the courage and pride of the five soldiers who were strongly pinched by the cruel law of war in this war!
The five agreed together: when one is defending, the other four will jointly dispatch the elite to serve as the supervising team, and the side on duty, no matter how serious the casualties are, even if there is only the last person left, as long as the rotation time has not passed and dares to retreat, the four will attack it together.
All day, what several leaders have been doing is to reorganize the retreating troops, restore their combat effectiveness, and prepare to continue to send them to the battlefield.
At six o'clock in the evening, he came on time, and he drew the first defense of Triumph City, and under the personal leadership of the city lord of Triumph City and the yellow-level military general Fang Bing, he took over the defense of the city head under the rain of arrows.
In the fierce battle, after two days of fighting, it has been quite skillful, and has not caused any confusion, although it is inevitable that in the last few seconds of the change of defense, there are still people who are entangled by the enemy and die on the last shift; Although there are also people who have just taken over the defensive post, they are killed by the enemy's arrow; But the battle of the entire city still seemed to be orderly, and the soldiers were either silent or shouted for battle, and they had put life and death out of the way!
From 6 o'clock in the evening, several other families except the Yan family were doing their best to hold on for an hour and a half, forgetting their merits, fears, and even life and death.
Of course, in this case, whoever dares to retain his strength is also looking for death.
