The guards were all nervous like this, and the people who were temporarily requisitioned were even more frightened, their bodies trembling and their faces were pale!
After all, they are not facing Hu Xiaoren, but the Tiger Courage Army who has been defending them! Although the military orders are strict and the Tiger Courage Army does not go out often, they also have a few days off every month, and they have a relatively harmonious relationship with these people in Cheongju and Fuhugang!
Now they have become enemies fighting each other, not only these people, but even those tiger soldiers outside are a little unbearable and dare not raise their heads!
At this time, the group of people who were squatting in the corners of the city wall stood up under the command of an official who looked like a prefect, climbed the city wall in turn, stood together, and shouted loudly to the Die Hard army below!
At first, Xiaobao still felt inexplicable, but then he already understood that these people were the relatives of the Die Hard Army!
The 300,000 Tigers of Courage were not all brought here from Kyoto by the King of Shujing, and some of them were recruited locally, so their relatives were local. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info(hua.), the latest chapter access:. There are also some relatives who follow and settle in Cheongju or Fuhugang!
And these people on the city wall are the same people who have the Tiger's Courage soldiers at home, and the guards will send them up to shake the hearts of the Tiger's Courage! Don't you want to rebel', then the life and death of your own family is in my hands!
I have to admit that this hand is too 'insidious' and too effective! Even if it is a well-disciplined tiger army, how can they face their own relatives and ignore it?
But Xiaobao was wrong, Langtu was wrong, and the prefect Yu Chengze was also wrong! Thousands of waist crossbowmen quickly rushed out of the Die Hard barracks, they sat down on the ground on the side of the moat, and at the same time opened their waist crossbows with their hands and feet at the same time at the gang on the city wall, and then bows and arrows thicker than their thumbs roared and 'shot' towards the city wall!
This kind of waist crossbow is not very 'fine' for aiming, but it is powerful and heavy, and just listening to the sound makes people afraid! Moreover, Langtu and Yu Chengze did not expect that the Die Hard Army would really 'shoot' arrows, and they only then remembered that although many soldiers in the Tiger Courage Army had their families in Cheongju and Fuhugang City, there were many soldiers whose relatives were not here, and the first attack of the Die Hard Army should have been to select soldiers who did not have relatives here to participate, and they had already prevented this move!
Enraged, Langtu yelled at the Die Hard below, and then he made an unthinkable decision!
Since you are useless, then go and die! A large number of Yin troops grabbed the arms of those people and threw them off the city wall alive! There were not only old people, but also crying children!
"Beast!" Xiao Bao's eyes cracked! This city wall is about five or six zhang long, and although there is barren grassland below, it is enough to kill these old, weak, sick and disabled people!
Nearly 1,000 people were pushed down alive in this way, some were killed on the spot, some had broken arms and legs, couldn't get up for a while, and lay on the ground crying and groaning loudly!
Xiao Bao couldn't bear to look at it anymore, with his personal ability, he couldn't save so many people! He really couldn't imagine that the Yin army would be so ruthless, it seemed that the upper beam was not right and the lower beam was crooked, how indifferent and ruthless their emperor was, how cruel and cruel these soldiers who defended him were!
The Die Hard is actually the same, although they are highly disciplined, they are still part of the Yin army, so they dare to attack the people. (hua.advertisement)
In other words, it is a Xuanjun, although he will not be so stupid as to see the people holding knives to cut themselves and still act as good people, not dodging or dodging, but he will never attack the people when they have no intention of attacking!
This is the special 'color' of the Yin army, and it is ruthless! Therefore, Yin Hu relied on this style to destroy the ugly dynasty in one fell swoop and establish his Yin dynasty! It is true that this method is a magic weapon for winning battles, but it is not popular with the people, and the Yin Dynasty has always been full of grievances, and it is also related to this!
This kind of battle is really chilling, so Xiaobao doesn't want to watch it anymore, and returns to the Xuanjun camp, he just needs to listen to the results, and he doesn't need to see it with his own eyes!
However, Xiaobao also has to admit that Langtu and Yu Chengze really led the seeds! Not all of the Yin army are cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death, but there are also warriors who are truly loyal to the monarch and patriotic and swear to resist the enemy to the death!
This Langtu and Yu Chengze are examples! The betrayal of Yinhu by the Die Hard Army is a matter of time, others don't know the situation, the two of them are bystanders from beginning to end, and finally become participants!
Maybe they don't want to deal with the King of Shujing and the Tiger Courage Army like this, but there is no way, this is the emperor's order!
They are loyal to Yinhu, so it is not a big deal to sacrifice a prince, as long as the emperor is safe, it is enough for the Dayin Empire to be safe!
So they did not hesitate to carry out the emperor's order, and when the mission failed, they were ready to die for their country!
That's why they did things mercilessly, first killing the lobbyists, and then retreating the relatives of the Die Hard Army from the city wall, cutting off all hope for the people in the city and their soldiers, and fighting against the attack of the Die Hard!
Knowing that they are invincible, they still have to fight to the death, this is the righteous people who keep festivals! It's just that they followed the wrong people and used the lives of the people to fulfill their righteousness!
So this kind of people are respectable and pitiful, they want to leave a heavy mark in the whole history, but they are infamous because they are on the wrong team!
Xiaobao admires them, and sighs for them! They are not really bad people, bad people will not have such loyal thoughts, they are just 'blinded' by Yinhu, in fact, to distinguish history, only need to see whether this king can be worthy of his people can prove that he is a bright monarch or a faint monarch, it is obvious that Yinhu is not qualified!
Although Xiaobao came back from the battlefield, several people in the Chinese army's big tent still knew everything about the battlefield. The scouts kept feeding back the information, and Xian Yang and Shi Wuce stood by Xiao Bao's side one left and one right, listening to the battle report and analyzing the trend of the battle situation!
"The 200,000 troops of the Die Hard Army are ready to surround Cheongju City at any time!" Xian Yang pointed to the north 'gate' of Cheongju City with a wooden stick and said: "Here! The defense here is the weakest, as long as the Die Hard Army breaks through the north 'gate', the south 'gate' will be self-defeating!"
Originally, they did not have an advantage in terms of troops, and if they were attacked from behind, there would be no need to fight this battle! This is because the Die Hard Army is most suitable for horse warfare and wasteland warfare, and is not very 'proficient' in siege warfare!
After all, the existence of the Die Hard Army is to deal with the Hu Xiao people, who 'swing' in the vast prairie all the year round, there are no city defense buildings, at most a few tents, so there are no siege vehicles or ladders and other tools in the Die Hard Army, just temporarily made some wooden ladders and rope hooks, and set them up on the city wall to rush hard!
However, with this kind of backward siege equipment, the Die Hard Army will also break through the city sooner or later, but the cost of 'spending' is greater! And they have never been afraid of paying the price, and the last thing they are afraid of is death! This is also a characteristic of the Tiger Courage Army's famous Bailuan Continent, they are all people who can give up their lives at any time, from generals to soldiers, there is no one of them!
This battle is destined to be tragic! Both troops, which refused to admit defeat and refused to retreat, fought to the death on this city wall, which was less than 10 zhang high!
You don't have to see it with your own eyes, you don't have to listen to the report, Xiaobao can imagine the earth-shattering fighting sound and corpse scene on the battlefield at this moment!
The sky had gradually darkened, and the battle had been going on for nearly three hours, but the Tigers had still not broken through the city gate, and although they had climbed the city wall several times, they were beaten down again!
At the base of the city wall, the corpses of both sides were already piled up, and the bright red blood gathered into a river and flowed into the moat seven or eight feet away from the city wall!
There are still flames left in the moat, and there are many corpses of the Die Hard Army that have been burned to char all over their bodies! The tragedy of this battle has exceeded anyone's imagination, and the city defense, which has a total of less than 50,000 people, has just stopped the attack of nearly 300,000 Die Hard troops!
However, the situation has been unfavorable to the city defenders, although the defenders of Fuhugang have also been transferred to the north 'gate' of Qingzhou, but the disparity in strength is too great, and the dense arrow array used by the Tiger Courage Army to deal with Hu Xiao's cavalry is also effective against the defenders, and the terrifying forty-five-degree angle is not the soldiers on the city wall, but the reinforcements in the back of the wall!
This is one of the most demoralizing tactics of the army, and the city is full of unarmed 'women' and children! They only help to transport weapons and the wounded, and they do not have much use on the battlefield, but they are the people on the city wall who are most concerned!
The Die Hard army does not have many relatives in the two cities, but these defenders are 90% out of ten, and their families are in the city!
By this time, the battle had entered a white heat, and in the blink of an eye, countless lives had been lost!
At the entrance of the 'gate' of the big tent of the Xuanying Chinese army, the Immortal Sheep King looked at the sky, finally lowered his head, and said to Long Jiao and Tong Xiaofeng, who were waiting in front of him impatiently and almost jumping: "Beat the drums!
The Xuanjun army has finally moved! The light body equipment of the whole 'color', the Xuan spear, the Xuan stick (nunchuck), the Xuan knife, the Xuan bow, and the Xuan hook! These are all the equipment that the Xuan Army has improved by itself, and the 50,000 siege soldiers selected are wearing blue and gray 'colored' military uniforms, and the skin and 'hair' of the war horses are the same as their military uniforms!
At this moment, 50,000 siege soldiers had already assembled in the wasteland, and with the sound of war drums, they were marching towards Fuhugang, and in the faint night, except for the sound of horses' hooves, it was impossible to see how many of them had come!
It wasn't until there were still only five or six miles away from Fuhugang that the scouts of the Yin army discovered this force and hurriedly reported back to the defenders of Fuhugang, but the main force of the Fuhugang defenders, who had been entangled in the north 'gate' of Qingzhou City, could not retreat back at all!
The Xuan army did not attack the city from the main 'gate' at all, they all came lightly, and did not bring the tools such as the sassal wood to hit the 'door', and rode the horse directly under the city wall, and the hook in his hand was tied to the Xuan bow, and 'shot' on the city wall!
The panicked Yin army hurriedly came to intercept it, but their manpower was too small, how could a thousand people stop the footsteps of the 50,000 Xuan army, not to mention that the beast hunters were taking the lead!
The terrible beast hunters climbed the city wall as if they were walking on the ground, and before the Yin army could draw their bows, they had already rushed in front of them, and the pike spears in their hands had pierced their 'chests'!
Thanks to the correct judgment of the fairy sheep and Shi Wuce's 'exquisite' arrangement, it only took less than half an hour for the Xuan army to attack the southern city wall of Fuhugang!
In this battle, the Xuan army occupied a city at the cost of less than ten casualties, which simply created a myth of the siege battle of the Bailuan Continent!
