Chapter 331: Xu Chu Breaks the City [First Update]
If Gao Shun didn't order the army to retreat just now, Xu Chu would have great confidence that he would be able to hit the city and break the county in one fell swoop.
But at this time, Gao Shun actually ordered a retreat!
Xu Chu couldn't figure it out, and he was even more angry in his heart.
Gao Shun looked at the city wall and said, "Now even if we attack the city and fight the barbarians in close combat, with the combat effectiveness of these county soldiers under our command, we will suffer heavy losses." Not to mention, it is not certain whether they can hit the city, although the barbarians are not good at defending the city, but Tuoba Hong also knows that once our army hits the city, what will happen to them, they will definitely defend with all their might, and we will lose more troops at that time. ”
"At present, there is news from Beiguan that the follow-up army of the barbarians has arrived at Beiguan, and we can't lose too many soldiers here, let alone waste too much time. ”
"Our attack has just let the barbarians know our strength, and at the same time, all the soldiers have been placed here. I will soon order the army to prepare for the attack again, and give Tuoba Hong the illusion that our army is really going to attack from here, and he will definitely transfer some of the defenders of the other three gates. ”
"Xu Chu, you take advantage of this time to lead the elite tiger guards under your command to immediately attack the south gate behind the county town, and you must take the city gate directly!"
Xu Chu's eyes lit up, he was not a stupid person, he naturally understood Gao Shun's thoughts, and the point of Gao Shun in his heart disappeared instantly, and he immediately responded loudly: "The last general will obey the order!"
Xu Chu immediately led the Tiger Guards around the south gate outside the rear of the county seat.
Gao Shun ordered the army to prepare to attack again, but this time they only made a feint to attract the attention of the barbarian soldiers in the county.
On the city wall, Tuoba Hong looked at the large number of infantry of the Nanyan Kingdom in front of the city gate, and his face was solemn.
If it was in normal times, he would have led the cavalry out to charge and kill, and he would definitely be able to kill all these infantry at that time.
But not today, if he rushes out with the cavalry now, he may not have encountered the enemy army, and he will be shot into a hornet's nest by the bow and crossbow, and he will lose a large number of troops, which is unacceptable for his current strength.
"Looking at the troops of the Southern Yan Kingdom in front of him, there should be between 250,000 and 300,000, it seems that Lu Feng regards this place as the key to breaking the city. ”
Tuoba Hong groaned slightly, and immediately ordered soldiers to be drawn from the other three gates to strengthen the defense here.
Although he was also a little worried that the other three gates would be attacked, but now he had no choice, there were currently more than 200,000 elite soldiers of the Nanyan Kingdom in front of him, close to 300,000, if he didn't make some changes, it was very likely that the city would be broken in one fell swoop.
Just that wave of siege just now, he could feel the strength of the soldiers of the Southern Yan Kingdom, and he was almost attacked on the city wall.
As for the other three gates, most of the army of the Southern Yan Kingdom is now outside the city gate here, and the Southern Yan Kingdom cannot separate the army to attack the other three gates.
Besides, there are nearly 5,000 people guarding the other three gates, and even if they can't hold it, they can hold out for a while, and they will definitely be able to send troops to support them at that time.
Thinking of this, Tuoba Hong's face looked a little better, he had already received the news that the Harrell tribe had arrived at the North Pass, as long as the North Pass was broken by the Harrell tribe, Lu Feng and the army under his command would not be able to take care of themselves.
"Chief, look, the enemy is preparing to storm the city again. The deputy general beside Tuoba Hong pointed to the army of the Southern Yan Kingdom in front of the city gate and said urgently.
Tuoba Hong looked at it, his eyes shrank, and he saw that the number of people preparing was at least twice as many as before.
There was no doubt that Lu Feng, the emperor of the Southern Yan Kingdom, had mobilized all the forces they could use.
Previously, there were not so many people besieging the city, and the city gate was almost breached, but now that there are more people, Tuoba Hong didn't dare to think about it, and said urgently: "Quick, order the other three gates to support here as quickly as possible after leaving the necessary soldiers to guard the city gate." ”
"Yes!"
The adjutant general hurried down to give the order.
Soon, most of the barbarian soldiers of the other three gates came here, and there were at least 130,000 barbarian soldiers in the city.
Tuoba Hong was relieved when he saw the barbarian soldiers beside him, there were so many soldiers here, it shouldn't be a problem to defend this city gate.
Looking at the army of the Southern Yan Kingdom that was slowly advancing below, Tuoba Hong sneered and said, "Lu Feng, Lu Feng, you will definitely not be able to break through the city wall in a short time, wait for me, and when the Harrell tribe breaks through the North Pass, I will definitely break you into ten thousand pieces!"
"General, the number of soldiers in the city has increased a lot, and it should be the barbarian soldiers of the other three gates who have begun to support. Gao Shun's lieutenant pointed to the city and said.
Gao Shun nodded, he had already seen it, and said: "Order the crossbowmen to release arrows, cover the city, and fire three volleys, and at the same time order Xu Chu to attack immediately after he arrives at the south gate, and be sure to take the south gate as soon as possible." ”
"Yes!"
After Gao Shun's order went down, the crossbowmen in the army of the Southern Yan Kingdom immediately began to fire a volley.
A rain of arrows appeared in the sky, raining down on all the barbarian soldiers at the head of the city.
"Defend, quick, defend!"
Tuoba Hong yelled.
Barbarian shields are very few, even in the county town of Haxian County, there are not many shields, and it is impossible for everyone to have them.
Many barbarians could only cower in the corners of the city walls, hoping not to be shot by bows and arrows.
On the other side, Xu Chu led the Tiger Guards on a rapid march and arrived at the rear of Hexian County in a very short time.
After receiving Gao Shun's order, he waved his hand and shouted: "Siege!"
Tens of thousands of Tiger Guards immediately carried the ladder and began to charge.
"Not good, enemy attack!"
The barbarian soldiers on the city wall were so frightened that they kept playing with their bows and arrows in an attempt to shoot the Tiger Guard soldiers.
"Drink!"
Xu Chu shouted violently, his body slammed into the city, and he was about to fly towards the city wall.
"Quick, air-breaking arrows, air-breaking arrows. ”
The general guarding the city gate saw that Xu Chu was about to fly up, and hurriedly shouted.
It's just that by the time the soldiers under his command replaced the air-breaking arrows, Xu Chu had already arrived on the city wall.
"Kill!"
Xu Chu shouted angrily, and the big knife in his hand slashed down, smashing many soldiers in front of him.
Woohoo.
At this time, the air-breaking arrows prepared by the barbarians were also shot, but for Xu Chu, these air-breaking arrows were not enough in terms of number or level, and they did not pose too much threat to him.
Just a few knives in his hand, directly kill those barbarians who shoot arrows.
"Kill!"
Taking advantage of this time, the Tiger Guards successfully climbed up from under the city, and under the leadership of Xu Chu, they quickly occupied the city gate.
Kill all the barbarian soldiers on the city gate at the same time, without exception.
After the city gate was taken here, Xu Chu left more than 1,000 people to guard the city gate, led the rest of the people to take the east gate as quickly as possible, and then immediately charged to the front city gate.
"Report, chief, the rear gate has been broken, the enemy army has entered the city, and the army is rushing towards our army!"
"What?"
