Chapter 327: Wolf Smoke and Tricks (9)

In this siege, Han Ce's side came up with all the means to bombard the southern city gate of the entire Far Eastern City, and many soldiers also rushed to the head of the city with the ladder.

However, the Northern Wilderness is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it was caught off guard at first, but after a long time, it changed its disadvantages and organized the fortifications.

The entire city wall is in flames, just when the south gate is in flames, the west gate of the city in the extreme east also began to be attacked by the soldiers of Youzhou, whether it is a collision car, a ladder or a catapult, it is not less than the south gate, and the soldiers who are besieging the city are also extremely brave.

Troops were sent from both sides, and the two gates of the city in the far east were strongly attacked, and of course, the siege troops at the west gate did not have the support of gunpowder, and the battle situation was not as critical as the south gate.

Ling Yi and the others looked at the battle situation and continued to discuss.

"The defending soldiers in this Far Eastern City are really a bit small, is it really like Hou Aoxuan said, there are only more than 20,000 soldiers here, right?

Hou Aoxuan replied: "Judging from the current situation, the city of the extreme east is really understaffed, and the defense may be able to deal with it for a short time, but after a long time, if there is no support, they can only be defeated!"

"This is indeed a bit strange, it stands to reason that such a border city will not have a small number of troops, why didn't it appear?"

"You say, could it be that there are really only these soldiers here? You see, before they entered their border, there was no army to stop them, could it be soldiers without defense?" asked Ah Hai on the side.

"This doesn't make sense, let's not talk about why they didn't obstruct the Youzhou army, if there were really only 30,000 cavalry, would they all send out to ambush Han Ce's cavalry? Besides, we haven't seen the soldiers in the city, but when most of Han Ce's cavalry attacked and lured the enemy before, weren't they ready to go out of the city to meet the enemy?" Hao Jun retorted to Ah Hai.

"This is also a problem, you say that since Han Ce's cavalry had already stormed under the city wall that day, why didn't the cavalry of the Far East City pursue it? Could it really be blocked by Han Ce's cavalry's arrow attack within the city gate? This can't be said! Isn't there no archer in the Northern Wilderness to suppress the attack of Han Ce's cavalry, as long as the bow and arrow suppress, the cavalry in the city can attack!" Ah Hai continued to express his speculation: "I still think there are no usable soldiers in the city!"

Although Ah Hai only makes inferences through appearances, it is not unreasonable.

Hao Jun also insisted on his own opinion, and said: "Don't forget, it is possible that the Northern Wilderness received information in advance, and when they knew that the Youzhou army was coming, could they only send 30,000 cavalry to block the 200,000 army." Don't say that they are not all-martial cavalry, even if they are, do you think 30,000 people can withstand 200,000 troops? If you are the general of the Northern Wilderness, you will defend such an important city as the city of the extreme east at will? Isn't this equivalent to giving away the city of the extreme east?"

"This ...... Second brother, what you said is reasonable, but I still reserve my opinion, in the current situation, we can't be sure that we are right!" Ah Hai didn't know how to continue to refute, but Hao Jun's reasons couldn't convince him!

Ling Yi also took over the words at this time: "There are indeed many doubts here, we can't be sure if there are more soldiers in the city, but in today's battle, Han Ce did have the upper hand, but I don't know if we can break through the city of the extreme east in one fell swoop!"

"I think it's a little difficult, you see!" Hou Aoxuan suddenly said to the people who were still talking.

Everyone followed Hou Aoxuan's gaze and found that there was a sudden commotion on the walls of the Far Eastern City.

The city that had already been attacked suddenly appeared a strong force and attacked the Youzhou soldiers on the wall with all their might, and it was just a few simple impacts that knocked the Youzhou soldiers off the city wall.

Then there were a lot of giant ballistas on the city wall, and I saw that one by one the powerful orcs of the Northern Wilderness began to set up arrows, and the arrows were huge, and it took two or three soldiers to lift them.

As soon as the giant ballista appeared, Han Ce's Chinese army blew the horn of "close defense".

The target of the Far Eastern City was none other than the dense army in the distance and the catapults that were still throwing boulders.

With a "Zheng" sound, countless huge arrows shot towards Han Ce's rear army.

The damage of powerful weapons to soldiers is extremely large, and the continuous attacks killed pieces of Han Ce's army, even if they were not killed, they were also scattered in formation, and there were countless casualties.

Thirty of the catapults were crushed by arrows, and for a while, Han Ce's attack was suppressed.

Ling Yi and they were already stunned, just now they also said that Han Ce's attack is powerful, with many strategies and strong combat power, and they can capture the city of the extreme east from time to time, but they didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the situation has changed to be confusing, and the city of the extreme east has gradually been able to deal with Han Ce's siege and began to counterattack!

This is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is the foot of the city wall at this time, the place where it was originally blasted open by gunpowder, at this time the fire was everywhere, not only burned the soldiers under the city wall to shout ghosts, but also burned a lot of siege ladders.

It turned out that just when Ling Yi and the others were sighing at the power of the giant ballista, the soldiers of the Far Eastern City poured buckets of vegetable oil from the city, and the vegetable oil naturally burned when it met the fire.

As the sea of fire spread, Han Ce had no choice but to appear the clarion call to "retreat to the position", and now he rushed forward again, but it was only a fearless sacrifice, and there was no chance to rush to the city wall at all.

"Damn, this is to treat others in the way of others!" Ah Hai exclaimed.

I saw that a lot of flying boulders suddenly appeared in the sky, and it was the army that flew towards Han Ce from the city of the extreme east.

These boulders were all projected into the Extreme Eastern City by Han Ce before, and now they were projected back by the Extreme Eastern City in the same way.

Under the boulder, many Youzhou soldiers were smashed into meat patties.

The situation changed suddenly, and in just two or three hours, the city of the Far East experienced a cruel baptism of war!

"Woo woo woo ......" Finally, Han Ce began to call in gold and withdraw his troops, and the previous inspiring war drums were no longer beating.

I saw that the ladders that could be saved by the siege were constantly retreating, and the catapults also began to retreat, and the siege infantry guarded around the siege equipment, defending the equipment and retreating to the rear.

The cavalry that had been on guard before also began to move, rushing back and forth from both sides, not for a short time, ready to meet the pursuers of the Far Eastern City at any time.

At the foot of the city wall of the Far Eastern City, there was still a sea of fire, guarding the entire Far Eastern City behind him, and it was already noon, when the weather was the hottest, and now there was a sea of fire, and the temperature of the air became extremely hot.

Han Ce stood on his lookout, looking at the retreating soldiers, and shook his head helplessly, he thought that he could win all the battles, at least break through the city in the extreme east, even if it was assaulted by the cavalry in the city, at least the city wall would be captured.

His purpose now is twofold, one is to attack the city, and the other is to lure the enemy to attack.

Now he has been exposed to the army of the Northern Wilderness, but he does not know the situation in the city of the Far East, how many soldiers are in the city, and who is commanding the battle?

The more this is the case, the more anxious Han Ce becomes, he can't know himself and his opponent, how can he survive a hundred battles!

Therefore, today he has to accomplish at least one goal, either to break through the city wall, or to lure the enemy to attack and find out the details of the enemy.

However, it backfired, and he failed to capture the city of the Far East, nor did he draw out the main force of the city of the far east.

It stands to reason that now is the best time for the city of the extreme east to go out of the city to pursue, but the city of the extreme east is unusual, and there is not a single soldier chasing out, but it continues to shoot its own soldiers with giant ballistas at the head of the city.

Ling Yi and the others also didn't expect that such a good opportunity, since the Far East City had given up the pursuit out of the city.

"What is this Far Eastern City doing? If you don't take advantage of such a good opportunity, is there really no army available?"

"I don't know, maybe they have some tactical arrangement, right?"

The discussion continued, but they didn't know the intelligence of the Far Eastern City, and they couldn't deduce what the situation was.

"Now it's not just us who have a headache, even Han Ce can't see through the Extreme Eastern City, I really don't know what the hell is going on in the Extreme Eastern City?" Hao Jun said.

"You can only wait and see what happens, just see how Han Ce responds!" Hou Aoxuan didn't dare to speculate easily.

"Let's go, that's all for today!" Ling Yi got on his horse and led the team back to his previous station.

In Han Ce's Chinese army tent, I saw Han Ce slamming books on the ground, angry, he was very depressed, he had carefully arranged it for so long, but it didn't have any effect.

"What is the situation in this Far Eastern City? Who are their defenders this time? How many troops are there, and where is the main force?"

A series of questions left the generals under Han Ce speechless.

"How many days have it been? I don't have any information now, how do you say this battle will be fought?" Han Ce asked angrily at his subordinates.

All the generals, drooping their heads and bowing their heads silently, now whoever speaks, who will be scolded, the general's temper is clear to everyone, when he is happy, he rewards his subordinates, when he is unhappy, no matter who he is, he scolds when he opens his mouth, it is okay to be scolded, and several times he will beat his subordinates who come forward to reply.

The beating of a martial saint powerhouse is not something they can bear!

At this moment, outside the camp tent, a herald came to report the information: "Report to the general, the military situation in Beiweiguan!"

"Get in!" Han Ce roared angrily at the heralds outside the camp.

When the herald heard it badly, he could only go into the camp with his head open.

"See the Great General and all the generals!"

Looking at the herald who was kneeling on one knee, Han Ce sat back in his position as the commander.

"Don't delay, talk about it quickly!" Han Ce said to the herald.

Heralds, look at those generals with drooping heads, knowing that the general is angry, isn't it boring to report the military situation now?

"Bang", I saw a porcelain cup fall in front of the herald, which scared the herald.

"Report to the general, Beiwei Pass, Tongshan Pass intelligence, two days ago, Beihuang launched an attack, Beiwei Pass and Tongshan Pass siege, under the resistance of the garrison generals, successfully resisted the attack. ”

"Tell me, how many people are in the Northern Wilderness army?"

"It is estimated that there are 30,000 to 40,000 enemy soldiers in Beiwei Pass, and 20,000 enemy soldiers in Tongshan Pass!"
