Chapter 352: Precarious

The next day, the information of the You Jun spies came back one after another, and it was similar to the previous information, basically unchanged, and the only thing that was more was the investigation of Mu Wu.

It was only at this time that Nie Lin understood that Mu Wu was originally the commander of the Sixth Army of the Jin Kingdom.

After knowing the identity of Mu Wu of Lu Dao, Nie Lin simply no longer sent people to fight Mu Wu alone, but directly ordered the whole army to attack the city and seize the city.

The strength of the city is not strong, but the city defense of the city is far from the city of Lingcheng, Bo City and other cities, not only there is a moat outside the city, the city wall is also high, and the city head is also arranged with crossbow arrows This powerful weapon, in addition, the city is also ready trebuchet, although the number of these large weapons is not much, but it can also play a certain deterrent and killing role for the enemy army attacking the city outside.

The army had no reservations, and 80,000 soldiers all went into battle, including Nie Lin himself.

The sky on this day was even more gloomy than the day before, and the temperature was colder, Nie Lin sat on his war horse, and involuntarily fought a cold war, and the soldiers below were also white, and their upper and lower teeth were fighting.

Nie Lin exhaled, pulled out the saber at his waist with his hand, turned around and shouted: "The strength of the Jin army has been concentrated in Hecheng, as long as the Hecheng is captured, Wancheng will be in the pocket of our army, and at that time, we can also go home! Wancheng is the golden capital, there are countless gold, silver and jewels in it, if the brothers want to be rich and noble for a lifetime, then, first lay down the Hecheng in front of me!" As he spoke, he pointed the sword in his hand forward and shouted: "Charge the whole army!"

"Kill—"

Nie Lin gave an order, and 80,000 You troops rushed forward in unison.

The speed at which You Bing rushed forward was extremely fast, and what was even more commendable was that under such a fast charge, the formation of the whole army was actually neat and disorderly. Eighty thousand people, eight phalanxes, like eight fast-moving carpets, rushed towards the city.

At the same time, the Hecheng side also entered a state of battle, and Tai Shuhong ascended the city gate tower accompanied by Xiao Xuan. Watching the battle in person, as a general, Mu Wu did not go to the city gate, but walked back and forth on the city wall to patrol, seeing that the enemy army was about to enter his own range, Mu Wu ordered, the whole army raised the bow, ready to release arrows.

At this time, Xiao Xuan poked his head out from the city gate. shouted at Mu Wu below: "General Mu, don't release the arrow first, it's not too late to wait for the enemy to shoot after nearly fifty steps!"

The number of arrows they have in reserve now is not sufficient, and they must be used sparingly, and most of the soldiers defending the city are new soldiers, and their archery skills are not strong, so it is a question whether they can shoot a distance of 100 paces, let alone hurt the enemy. To be on the safe side, it's safer to take fifty steps before releasing the arrow.

Mu Wu knows that Xiao Xuan knows the art of war. Hearing him say this, Mu Wu's raised arm was lowered again, and then he said to the soldiers around him: "Everyone listen to my order to release arrows!"

With that, he held the arrow stack in his hand, half of his body was about to poke out, and his eyes stared at the enemy without blinking. At the same time, silently calculate the distance between the enemy and your own side in your heart.

Soon, the You army advanced to only fifty steps away from Hecheng, and at this time, Mu Wu shouted: "The whole army releases arrows!"

"Whew-"

With his order, a rain of arrows flew from the top of the city. Straight to the You army camp to fall.

"Pounce, pounce, pounce!"

The sound of arrows breaking armor and striking shields resounded in the camp of the You army, and countless soldiers of You soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, but the people's arrows did not scare the You army, but made the charge of the You army more fierce.

It didn't take long for the You army to advance to the front of the moat, and the people put the ladder across the moat and used the ladder to block the bridge, and then, the soldiers and soldiers of You ran over the ladder one by one and rushed to the bottom of the city.

The dense rain of arrows in the city continued, and at the same time, the crossbow arrows and the trebuchets in the city were all activated, and the crossbow arrows and falling stones smashed into the crowd of the army from time to time, causing the soldiers to fall down in groups, but one fell, and two rushed up from behind, and when charging, the soldiers were like red-eyed beasts, even if the front was a fire kang, they could jump in without hesitation.

Outside the city, there are also corpses all over the field, blood flows like a river, the moat is full of floating corpses, and the river water has been dyed scarlet.

You Jun stepped on the corpses of his comrades and brothers and rushed to the bottom of the city, and then, they set up ladders one after another, and Sergeant You used all his strength to climb up.

The new recruits of the Jin Army who went to the battlefield for the first time encountered the You Army, who fought extremely fiercely, which was more like a nightmare, and many people shot arrows until their hands were weak, but the You Army showed no signs of retreating.

Seeing the You army outside the city frantically climbing the cloud ladder and letting out a beast-like roar, some of the Jin army retreated in fright, not daring to approach the edge of the wall.

The other part of the Jin army had been frightened into a half-crazy state by You Jun, grabbing the rolling logs and rocks around him, and throwing them out of the city indiscriminately without aiming.

With such a defense, where could they still withstand the charge of the You army? It didn't take long for You soldiers to rush to the top of the city, pick up their swords, and fight with the Jin army in the city.

When defending the city, the Jin army could not resist the You army, and now it has become a close combat, the Jin army is even more invincible, the section of the city wall that was broken through, the Jin army was defeated, and there were more and more You soldiers who rushed up, shouting and chasing the defeated Jin soldiers.

Seeing that this side was broken through by You Bing, Mu Wu roared angrily and dragged the halberd over.

As soon as he passed through his own crowd, dozens of red-eyed You soldiers rushed to him, Mu Wu shouted, picked up the Heaven Opening War Halberd, and swept out.

"Click!"

With only one halberd out, five You soldiers were cut off by the waist, and then, Mu Wu released a whirlwind of knives, and the dozens of You soldiers behind were cut into pieces of meat by the air currents flying in the sky.

Killing all the enemy troops in front of him, Mu Wu did not pause for a moment, and continued to rush forward, and between the walks, the You soldiers who rushed to the city wall screamed, and the stumps and broken arms fell from the city head one after another, and at the same time, a long scarlet blood mist was born on the city wall.

The hundreds of You soldiers who rushed to the city were almost killed by Mu Wu alone, looking at Mu Wu, who was covered in blood and murderous people, the Jin soldiers who had fled stopped one after another, and stood in place as if they had been clicked on the acupoints.

Mu Wu looked at the people of the Jin army on the left and right, and shouted loudly: "The prime minister is now in the city, fighting side by side with us, the great enemy is now, the prime minister and a civil official are still not retreating, how can you and others as a soldier flee without a fight?

The people were stunned for a moment, and then they shouted and ran back to their respective positions, some picked up bows and arrows, and some lifted up the rolling wood and stones, and shot and smashed at the enemy troops outside the city.

This is shame and courage!

As soon as Mu Wu stabilized the form here, the other section of the city wall was broken through by You Bing, and Mu Wu didn't even have time to stop and breathe, so he could only carry the Kaitian War Halberd and rush over at full speed to reinforce it.

Under the ferocious attack of the You Army, the defense line of the Jin Army can be described as full of holes, loopholes, Mu Wu stabilized this side, that side was chaotic, stabilized that side, and this side was chaotic, he was alone, running around on the city wall, everywhere 'fighting fires', but no matter how great his ability was, after all, it was just one person, the Jin Army could not make any force, and even retreated in a cowardly battle, relying on Mu Wu alone, how could he stop so many You Army?

The battle was less than half an hour, the defense line of the Jin army was completely defeated, a large number of soldiers did not listen to the command, frightened one after another fled off the city wall, retreated to the city, the You army outside the city also took the opportunity to rush to the city, look around, the long city wall, everywhere is the figure of the You army, the remaining Jin army is pitiful, even if someone did not escape, insisted on fighting, but was quickly cut down to the ground by the surrounding You soldiers.

At this time, Xiao Xuan's cold sweat on the tower of the city gate continued to flow out, no wonder the You army entered his own country as if he was in a no-man's land, the You army was indeed too fierce in battle, even if the first army confronted it head-on, it might not be able to take advantage!

He swallowed and spit, turned his head and said to Uncle Tai Hong urgently: "Prime Minister, You Jun has broken the city...... Let's run quickly, if we don't run, it will be too late!"

Tai Shuhong stood on the tower of the city gate and did not move, he shook his head and said: "I can't escape, once I escape, Hecheng will really be hopeless, Hecheng is lost, Wancheng is not guaranteed, even the capital has fallen, where can we flee to?"

"But the prime minister ......"

"Say no more. Tai Shuhong grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist and said in a deep voice: "Today, I vow to live and die with Hecheng!" (to be continued......)
