Chapter Eighty-Eight: Soldiers Descend on the City

On April 28, 187 A.D., in the twilight of spring, the afternoon sun was already a little blazing, and the guards on the north gate of Pingcheng began to sweat slightly on the tip of their noses and foreheads.

As soon as the order of the Tun Elder to "prepare lunch" came to him, Goudan saw a flag in the distance, slowly coming from the sky where the grassland meets the blue sky.

"Master Wu, Master Wu, here, here......" The dog Dantou shouted loudly without looking back.

"What's the hurry? What's the hurry? Wait a minute, it'll be our turn to eat soon," Wu Chang scolded.

"No, it's not rice, it's the enemy! The enemy is coming!" The dog knew that Elder Wu had misunderstood.

"What? Enemy, oh, the fucking Xianbei people are coming. Wu Chang hurriedly ran to report to his boss in a hurry.

When the news of "preparing for war" spread throughout the city, the advance of the dense Xianbei cavalry had already reached five miles away. For a time, the Han army was in sight, but when they saw the flags all over the field, the dust was flying all over the sky, the soldiers were like forests, the sea of people was endless, the sound of horses' hooves resounded through the world, and the shouts were wave after wave, which made people want to take it.

The banner at the beginning of the banner was impressively a word "Kui", to the surprise of many people, the temporary leader of the Xianbei Royal Court army, Kui, personally led the army to attack Pingcheng!

Although the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty is now not even a warning, after all, Qiangyin County is located in the north of the Great Wall, and Pingcheng County is located in the south of the Great Wall.

But now, the Xianbei people who attacked Pingcheng have changed from the expected partial division to the main force today! From a distance, some experienced generals have already shouted out the data of "at least 2 million".

Many of the recruits on the city wall who had experienced such a battle formation for the first time began to tremble, and could barely stand, and even worse, the sound of weapons falling to the ground was occasionally heard.

"Pick up the weapon, breed, is there still anyone who wants to run? Yes?! I'm standing here, runaways killed! Whoever drops the weapon on the ground again will be killed! "The bearded man is murderous.

The dog secretly wiped a handful of sweat while people were not paying attention, and his two legs were shaking badly just now, but fortunately, the weapon was still held steady and did not fall to the ground, otherwise, this face would be lost.

"The front row of sword and shield soldiers raise their shields, and the pikemen and archers crouch down, hurry up! Fast! Fast! Just when the dog's heart was sinking, the bearded chief's somewhat poignant command sounded. Dogan heard a similar shout on the wall of the other tun defenses.

Dogan was in the second row of pikemen, just squatting, "piu, piu, piu......", the sound of arrows piercing the air has already filled his ears, "Why is it dark all of a sudden?" This was the real question in the dog's heart, and the next moment, from time to time, the screams of his companions rang out.

When a sharp arrow passed through the gap between the two shields in front of the left side of the dog, flew less than two inches away from the dogdan's left ear, and shot a soldier in the rear, and the blood splashed behind the dogdan's ear, the dogan knew that it was not dark, but the arrow covering the sky.

"Mom, how can you defend this?" At this moment, the dog just wanted to go home, and all he remembered was his mother's old face leaning on the door.

"Fight back! Archer! Fight back! The bearded chief's voice rang out again.

"Piu, piu, piu......", the archers, led by the leaders of the Wu Chang and Shi Chang, began to fight back.

Can't help the curiosity in his heart, the dog secretly looked up into the distance, and from time to time there were Xianbei cavalry falling off their horses.

At this time, the mentality of the soldiers on the city wall began to change. The Xianbei people were not invulnerable, they were shot by arrows, and they still fell off their horses and were trampled to death.

The Xianbei people seemed to be endless, galloping from the front of the city wall, and the arrows covering the sky and the sun did not stop, and the blood on the city wall was splashed, and the screams came and went.

Under the orders of the officers, the archers did not stop firing, and the Xianbei cavalry galloping in front of the city wall also fell off their horses from time to time.

The archers on the city wall need to change people if they shoot three arrows, after all, a bow with more than one stone, and a few more times in a short period of time may lead to an arm injury. The archers on the city wall were divided into three groups, and after each group of three arrows, they were replaced by the next group, and the three groups were shot in one round.

A full hour passed in the confrontation between the two sides, and the archers on the city wall fired more than ten rounds before the Xianbei cavalry slowly retreated.

The soldier breathed a sigh of relief. In the confrontation just now, the casualties have exceeded 20%, which is tragic and abnormal!

Since Pingcheng County only has a city wall and no moat, the Xianbei people can easily gallop to the city, and just a wave of tentative attacks is terrifying!

Civilian officials began to organize people and doctors to climb the city wall to clean the battlefield, treat the wounded, or carry the bodies of the wounded and fallen soldiers off the wall. And the generals began to organize their troops to complete the establishment of the city. As for the corpses of the enemy soldiers outside the city or the horses that fell to the ground, no one paid attention.

At this time, the hot steamed buns and hot water were also carried up the city wall, and a soldier next to the dog egg grabbed a steamed bun, but forgot to wipe the blood stains on his hands, bit off the bloody steamed bun, and lay on the female wall and vomited for a long time, making the dog egg that was very hungry and ate relatively fragrant lost its appetite.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a dusty face came over, patted the dog's shoulder, grinned and showed his white teeth, and said with a smile: "In the future, you will get used to fighting a few more battles, hurry up and eat more, if you can't eat, you can eat more water, swallow it with water together, you can't kill the enemy if you're hungry." ”

"Thank you, sir! I'm going to eat more and kill more! The dog's voice was a little hoarse.

The cavalry of the Xianbei people withdrew ten miles away, and the army began to roll like a torrent to the east and west sides of Pingcheng, and one hour later, about 2 million troops gradually surrounded Pingcheng on all sides. Then the Xianbei people began to set up camp, and their camp was not firmly entrenched, but they only set up a simple fence, and then set up tents in the fence.

When the Xianbei people set up their tents to meet the sky, the time was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the Xianbei people began to be busy with siege tools, it seems that there will be no siege today.

At dusk, the group of defenders of Goudan were replaced and returned to the barracks in the city to rest.

"General, I see that the enemy's camp tent is sparse and ordinary, do we take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to give him a sneak attack in the middle of the night, or even burn down the company camp?"

On the upper floor of the North Gate City, a group of NPC senior generals were observing the Xianbei camp, and Shangguan Xue'er was among them, and it seemed that she had a good relationship with the NPC generals.

"No need, at war with the Xianbei people, there is no such thing as an unstable foothold." A light and breezy voice sounded, it was the commander of the Han army in Yanmen County this time, the left general Huangfu Song! It seems that the hero sees the same thing, and the leader and Huangfu Song actually surprised most people, and chose Pingcheng County at the same time.
