Chapter 179: Breaking the Siege

The situation in Linxian was undoubtedly tragic, and the fighting did not stop until late at night.

The corpses were piled up above and below the city walls, and the smell of fire and blood was everywhere.

Qi Bin walked on the city wall like a bloody man, leading people to carry the wounded down.

Below the city, Hua Long and the women in the city are handing out bread and half a bowl of cold boiled water to the soldiers who are able to breathe.

There was a sadness in everyone's eyes, and every soldier's face was filled with the ashes of despair.

The first wave of attacks was blocked, but unfortunately more than half of the soldiers in the city had been killed and wounded, and the city was not broken, mainly relying on the walls that had been raised in advance and the withered moat.

The big red iron gate in the middle of the city was about to fall, and everyone didn't dare to look at that place, feeling that it was the last barrier, and the gate was broken through the city.

Outside the city of Linxian, Wei Yu's army did not retreat far, they just withdrew to the range of the arrows to cook in a pot.

The whole army was well fed and drunk, and after a short rest, a second siege would be launched before dawn the next day.

In the eyes of the people on Wei Yu's side, Linxian County can be broken tomorrow.

In the camp tent at some time, Wei Yu was taking a leave of absence, informing him of the situation here, and asking people to send it to his father in Mataguan, asking him to prepare a plan, and two days later, he attacked on both sides and won Mataguan in one fell swoop.

The smoke and rain rained for a day and a night, and did not stop until the morning of the next day, when the station of Linxian was in full swing.

Climbing ladders, stone-throwing chariots, shouting and killing mixed with arrows like raindrops, everyone's face was dyed red, and in order to survive, everyone killed like mad hysterics.

Wei Yu's army was in good order, he himself stood behind on a war horse, and he also led a team of energetic cavalry.

Huiwang Wei Cheng stood next to him, looked at the battle in the distance with a smile on his face, and said, "The virtuous nephew is good at planning, there is a shortage of water in that county for half a month, and the soldiers don't even have the strength to fight, I think it's better for everyone to rush together, and the city can be broken in less than half an hour." ”

In order to reduce casualties and preserve strength, Wei Yu used a step-by-step plan, and when he heard King Hui's words, he smiled and said, "What my uncle said is very true, it is better for you to raise the military flag and be a pioneer with me, and you can rush forward now." ”

Everything had to be pulled by him, Wei Cheng stopped talking, and stood aside silently with his face aside.

Although he is a vassal king and has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, he is actually a powerless King Wen.

Wei Yu looked at him and just smiled disdainfully.

At that time, in the mountains and forests far away from Linxian, there were three black shadows approaching the artificial river in the mountain col.

These three black shadows are none other than the dark three and dark eight and nine who came over to inquire about the news.

The three of them came to find Ayu's whereabouts, and they arrived two days ago.

If they didn't come here, they didn't know that Linxian had been surrounded into iron barrels, and the water source in the city would be cut off by Wei Yu's army.

The three of them couldn't enter the city, so they wandered around, among them, the dark three also sneaked into the barracks, and they didn't hear any news, plus Wei Yu didn't make any moves here, so he was sure that Niangniang was not in Wei Yu's hands.

This result is not good, because if people don't catch it, it is likely that there is an accident.

The dark three were so angry that they wanted to take people back to Matapass, but since the war in Linxian County, they didn't leave when they saw this predicament, and took advantage of the fact that the king of Qi transferred the people guarding the river to fight the siege battle today, preparing to open the water source and refill the moat.

The water source outside Linxian County was cut off Wei Yu has always attached great importance to it, in order not to be destroyed, in the past, he would arrange nearly a thousand people to guard here, but this morning those people were recruited, and there were only a few dozen small soldiers at this time.

This created an opportunity for the Dark Three, and the three well-trained Dark Guards were no problem against dozens of small soldiers.

When the three of them approached, they turned over the tree, each used the dark darts on their bodies to solve a dozen of them, and slashed all the way behind, and the team of nearly fifty people soon became the ghosts of the knife.

Dark San breathed a sigh of relief, threw down the knife and tried to restore the cut water source but was a little dumbfounded, the mud and sand in the sacks were piled up long and high, he had no problem killing people, it would take half a day to move these things away as a porter.

But half a day later, the county seat below has already been broken!

"Third child, what should I do?"

No wonder the second prince of Naqi transferred people away, and the people would base the shore like this, and he would not be able to move for a while, he was not afraid at all.

"Xiao Jiu went down to find out if there were any villagers willing to come over to help, and I started work with Xiao Ba."

Dark three said that he had rolled up his sleeves and started drying.

Dark Nine heard that he was going to find someone who was so miserable in his heart that he couldn't do it, not to mention who would be willing to do something that was not beneficial, and no one was willing to come up and help with his head in this situation!

Even if you can really find some people, the city below will be broken long ago.

However, the things arranged by the dark three must be listened to by the dark nine, their ranks are arranged by numbers, and the words of the trumpet are orders.

Dark Nine turned around hurriedly, and didn't go far before he heard the sound of a hurried horse's hooves, and he was shocked, thinking that King Qi's people were coming, so he turned around and informed the dark three and two people in the water to go ashore first, save their lives and then make plans.

Dark Three calmed down, and after going ashore, he retreated to the forest with the two of them, turning over and hiding in the trees.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and Wei Li's figure gradually appeared in the sight of the dark three.

"It's Your Highness!"

Dark Three immediately jumped down from the tree, and finally had a smile on his face when he saw the dust flying in the distance.

He was also desperate in the face of those mud and sandbags just now, but at this time, Linxian was saved.

Outside the county, Wei Yu looked at the crumbling iron gate and finally pulled out his sword, and said in a low voice to the three thousand cavalry behind him, "Attacking the city, there will be no one left behind the good king." ”

Wei Yu personally led the team, and for a while, the roar of Chongfeng was everywhere.

The soldiers in Linxian County were already on the verge of collapse, and at this time, seeing those brave cavalry, the weak-willed had lost the ability to resist.

At this time, at the north gate of the city, a group of people held the military flag of King Liang and galloped on horseback, and shouted loudly, "King Liang is here, reinforcements have arrived, and those who persist until the nearest will be rewarded with three times the military salary......"

At the same time, at the south gate where Wei Yu was located, there were also people beating horses and holding the military flag of King Liang, shouting in their mouths, "The soldiers and horses of the court have broken through Tongzhou, and the King of Qi has been defeated." The son of Wei Yan, died in battle! ”

The people who suddenly rushed out made the siege soldiers in the back a little dazed, they were stunned for a moment, but soon restored order.

The soldiers are not tired of deceit, and suddenly a person rushed out and shouted these words, who believed.

Wei Yu, who led people to rush in front, didn't know what was going on, the city gate of Linxian had been knocked open, and he was preparing to cross the river with three thousand cavalry along the plank, when there was a sound of water in front of him, and the wooden bridge over the moat was broken by the sudden river water from top to bottom.

Wei Yu pulled the horse in time not to rush into the river, he stared at this scene with wide eyes, and turned his head to see birds flying in the mountains and forests.
