Chapter 323: Burned
Han Hui had a very bad premonition that this siege might not go well.
"Your Majesty, there is smoke in the southeast!" The spies shouted loudly.
King Shatuo was overjoyed and immediately ordered the siege of the city.
Han Hui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Yang Xutang has an army in his hands, his water strength is not weak, how could Guo Hong capture the dock so quickly, please be cautious." ”
Yao Shutong immediately said: "Now that the army at the North City Gate is pressing, Yang Xutang will definitely defend the town gate with all his might, and if the harbor is negligent in prevention, General He will naturally be able to break through it quickly." ”
"That's right, now there is smoke as a signal, listen to my orders, and the whole army will attack the city."
King Shatuo gave an order, and the whole army roared angrily, and for a time it seemed that the heavens and the earth were shaking.
Outside the gate of the north city of Xuanzhou, I saw a large area of Shatuo's black pressure, as if a large area of the sky was occupied.
The army of Shatuo is attacking the city!
Siege engines, ladders, rope hooks charged in front of the front, cavalry, archers followed.
This will be a bloody battle.
The sound of the Shatuo army shook the sky, and the Shatuo iron cavalry followed one after another, all crowded under the city.
No matter how strong the city gate is, it can't withstand the collision of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Finally, in the early afternoon, the gates were broken.
As soon as the city gate was broken, Shatuo Iron Riders poured in.
But as soon as they poured in, the infantry charging in front tripped over countless strings, and after a large piece of ground fell in front, the cavalry behind came in and planted a large piece of it.
King Yelongqi of Shatuo is a conceited person, he is a young hero of the desert, the son of the wolf god, he is only more than thirty years old, unified the ten parts of Shatuo, and became the king of Shatuo.
He thinks that what Yuezhou phoenix chick, the little Xuanzhou will never be able to stop his iron horse.
He wants the fertile land of the Central Plains, and he wants to eat endless grain. His Shatuo iron horse, stepping into the Central Plains, is indomitable.
So when the army entered the city, he didn't hesitate at all, he forgot that when Cai Zhao entered Xuanzhou City, there were mud cows entering the sea and being surrounded by the unusually united soldiers and civilians in Xuanzhou City.
And his iron horseman, no matter how brave he is, can't avoid the traps on the streets, hidden on the rooftops, and the dark crossbows on the street corners.
He thought that he would soon be able to slaughter the whole city, and he underestimated the ability of the Xuanzhou army and civilians to fight.
After fighting Cai Zhao, the soldiers and civilians of Xuanzhou seemed to be more comfortable with the street battles in the city. And Sha Tuojun is even less good at street fighting than Cai Jun, and children who don't even know where to get out of it may pierce their horses' legs with short knives.
As soon as the horses were frightened, they scurried around, and their own people were huddled together.
This afternoon, the unusually sultry heat also made the Shatuo army unusually frivolous. The more this happens, the more difficult it is for them to move and suffer heavy damage.
It was about to get dark, and the Shatuo army was still stuck in the neighborhood of Beicheng and couldn't move.
There are traps everywhere, there are sneak attacks everywhere, and they can't guard against it.
King Shatuo, who was still outside the city, received the news and his face was gloomy.
Han Hui immediately said: "Your Majesty, our army doesn't know the situation in the city, and it's not good at night battles, so let's retreat first!" ”
"Your Majesty, if you withdraw now, you will only lose all your efforts. The morale of the army was frustrated, and it was only feared that it would be more difficult to attack the city. Yao Shutong said.
Since King Shatuo arrived in Xuanzhou, he has been frustrated many times, Xuanzhou is a bone that is difficult for him to gnaw, and finally let him bite a little meat, how can he withdraw from the army?
Where is the majesty of his Shatuo Iron Horseman?
"Since this city is so difficult to attack, it is better to burn it down." Yao Jing together.
"......" Han Hui's expression was awe-inspiring, he never expected that the father and son of the Yao family would be so vicious.
More than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Xuanzhou City!
Xuanzhou is a historical city, and if it is really burned, it is really heart-wrenching.
King Shatuo didn't care so much: "Since the soldiers and civilians of Xuanzhou are so tenacious, it is not impossible to burn it down." ”
