Chapter 382: A New Pattern
The city was covered with blood, and the walls were piled up like a mountain of corpses.
Meng Zhun ordered the soldiers to take 30,000 people as a team, and the three teams took turns to attack one city wall, and when one team was responsible for the attack, the other two could temporarily rest and recuperate, and recuperate enough to fight again.
The defenders on the walls were not so lucky, and every time the other side brought in a group of people, their pressure would increase suddenly.
After going back and forth several times, the defenders became exhausted, and due to the limited number of troops, there was no one to replace them.
Three hours had passed, and the Eastern Barbarians had attacked at eleven o'clock, and the defenders had not eaten until now.
The defender will obviously see that the soldiers are not as agile as before, and the range of bows is not as large as at the beginning, and the arrows will naturally be weak.
The remaining five thousand reserves had been divided into three equal parts half an hour earlier, each replenishing the three walls.
But even so, the defenders on the three walls still looked tired, and it was suggested that the defenders of the north wall and the soldiers on the east wall should be exchanged, and the people who were replaced would rest and eat, and then the defenders of the south wall would be replaced after an hour, and finally the defenders of the west wall, so that the whole army could take turns eating and resting.
The Lord thought the idea was good, and he agreed.
After another two hours, the original defenders of the Western Wall came to the North Wall and served a hot meal, and the soldiers rushed up, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
At this moment, a large cavalry team appeared and rushed towards this side.
The original defenders had already taken away almost all the defensive equipment when they first changed their defenses, and now there is not even a three-bow bed crossbow on the north wall, except for more than 10,000 hungry and green-eyed remnants.
Since they were here for dinner, many of them didn't bring weapons, let alone long-range attack weapons such as bows and arrows.
Everyone was busy grabbing food, and they didn't even notice the arrival of the cavalry.
Someone accidentally saw it, quickly wiped his eyes with his hand, looked carefully, and then opened his mouth and shouted: "The enemy is coming!"
The soldiers who were grabbing food turned their heads, and their eyes widened.
It was a cavalry team that could be called a torrent of steel, and the 10,000 people who rushed to the front were wearing dark iron battle armor, wearing heavy black iron helmets, holding a knight's spear long and carrying a long knife at their waists.
Looking at the war horses under their crotches, they are all horses that are one in a hundred, and they are very fast.
The defenders involuntarily panicked, they had no weapons in their hands, how could they resist the enemy?
When the main general saw this scene, he was also very surprised, didn't he say that the three sides were missing one, they had already attacked on three sides, and they refused to let go of even the last one!
"What are you doing in a daze, send someone to send the weapon to the north wall immediately!" he shouted hysterically to the people around him.
"But General, we don't have enough people here, who will we send to deliver weapons?"
The main general was dumbfounded, with the speed of the vanguard of the Iron Eagle Army, it only takes two minutes to rush to the city, not to mention that there is no extra manpower, even if there is, how many weapons can be moved over in two minutes?
On the high ground in the distance, the corners of Ye Yunyang's mouth rose, and he said, "There is no suspense about victory or defeat, only a matter of time remains." ”
Liu Yuying asked, "What is the origin of the cavalry that rushed to the front?"
Ye Yunyang explained: "The elite of the Iron Eagle Army is all composed of martial artists above the Xuanguang Realm, and with the help of the impact of horses, they can jump directly onto the city wall. So far, only a few arrows had been fired at the northern wall, and they were the most weary of the defenders on all sides, and once the Iron Eagle had jumped up the wall, they would march forward until they were all occupied. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the cavalry that had rushed to the front had begun to jump.
Cao Ziang made a special arrangement to deploy the captains and captains who were close to the Xiuyuan Realm, and they didn't need to cross the moat to jump.
The defenders below threw away their food, picked up their weapons and prepared to resist.
The Iron Eagle soldier held the knight's spear in his hand, and with the force of the fall, he stabbed the spear fiercely at the enemy.
The enemy was stabbed and fell, and after the soldiers of the Iron Eagle Army landed on the ground with their feet, they drew their long knives as quickly as possible, and three or five people were in a group, and the long knives danced like wheels, and the enemy fell one after another.
The defenders of the city will be anxious, the vanguard of the Iron Eagle Army has occupied a section of the city wall tens of meters long, and is still expanding the results of the battle, more and more people are jumping into the city from here, shouting the words "the city is broken".
"Okay!" Meng Zhun jumped up happily, and immediately ordered: "Let the attacking troops increase their strength, the enemy can no longer hold it, and the victory will be ours!"
In just a few minutes, the Iron Eagle captured the entire northern wall, and the men who rushed into the city came to the gate and opened it.
The defender of the city will shout: "The warriors of the Southern Barbarians, the enemy has been killed in front of us, we have no way to retreat, and it is a dead end to lay down our weapons, it is better to pull a few more cushions, kill one is enough, kill two ......"
He couldn't go on, because the original shouting suddenly stopped, and the surroundings became quiet.
What's the situation?
He hurriedly turned his head and saw that the Eastern Barbarian army in three directions was retreating, and they quickly retreated out of range of bows and arrows and began to line up.
Looking at the north wall, the walls and gates were still in the hands of the Iron Eagle Army, but they stopped expanding on both sides and just held their ground.
At this time, a voice full of energy came from the sky: "Listen to the Nanban soldiers, your city has been broken by our Han Barbarian Coalition Army, and there is only one way to die if you resist stubbornly! The commander of this army, Ye Jungong, has a benevolent character, as long as you are willing to lay down your arms and submit to obedience, you can avoid death, and you are not to blame for the previous incident!"
The defenders' hearts fluctuated, and the main general saw that many people had the intention of surrendering, and hurriedly shouted: "Soldiers, don't be fooled, the Han people are naturally cunning, once we lay down our arms, we will definitely be killed by them if we have no power to resist." ”
"Look for death!" Cao Ziang shouted loudly, fell from the sky, and stabbed the chief general in the chest with a knight's spear, stabbing him in half.
The main general only has the level of a martial artist in the Tongyuan Realm, and in front of the masters of the Golden Body Realm, he is almost unable to resist.
The surrounding defenders showed a look of anger, and they were just about to rush up, when Meng Zhun appeared under the escort of his generals, and said loudly: "The Southern Barbarian soldiers are all listening carefully, I am the Eastern Barbarian King Meng Zhun, that is, the eldest son of the original Barbarian King, I promise with my personality that as long as you are willing to submit, the past things will not be blamed, and this king will guarantee your safety!
He raised his head and continued: "We have an army of 600,000 troops, and we have already broken through the city, there is no point in resisting, you have to think carefully about whether you are dead or alive. ”
Someone walked to the edge of the city wall and asked Meng Zhun: "King of the Western Barbarians, can you really guarantee our safety?"
"Of course. Meng Zhun Zhengse.
The man turned back and said, "Brothers, the matter has come to this, for the sake of our own lives and the lives of our families, it is better to surrender to the Lord of the Western Barbarians, they can stop at the critical moment, instead of killing us, they have already shown their sincerity." ”
Someone immediately chimed in: "I am willing to surrender!"
"I'm willing to surrender!"
More and more people surrendered, and everyone followed suit, and even those who were originally loyal to Meng Huo had to lay down their arms, and in the face of death, loyalty became very worthless.
On the high ground in the distance, Ye Yunyang said to Liu Yuying: "The battle is over, the next things will be handled by Meng Zhun, and we can go back to rest." ”
Liu Yuying's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "You are so relieved to hand over the royal court to Meng Zhun?"
He shrugged: "Otherwise, what else, announce that the royal court will return to the Han Dynasty? Don't be kidding, in this way, not only the defenders will not surrender, but even Meng Zhun may defect, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step, you can rest assured, Nanban will definitely be a Han in the end." Meng Zhun has paid such a big price for casualties, he has to give some benefits, he might as well be the master of the royal court for a few days. ”
In the past six hours, the casualties of the Eastern Barbarian army reached about 30 percent, most of them dead and seriously wounded.
Liu Yuying frowned and thought for a few seconds, and said to himself: "If you want to take it, you must give it first, I understand this truth." ”
The Iron Eagle Legion retreated from the north wall, and in the fierce battle just now, it only suffered a few hundred casualties, which can be described as a minimal.
Just when the Eastern Barbarian soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, Meng Huo in the north fought with Meng Tu.
Meng Huo seized the favorable opportunity of the sudden departure of the Qin army, and led the army to attack the flanks of the Ximan, which had a serious lack of troops, and caught Meng Tu by surprise.
The Western Barbarian army retreated on all fronts, and it was not until it fled to the territory of the Western Barbarians that it barely organized effective resistance and stopped the Menghuo army from continuing to advance.
Finally won a great battle and drove the enemy back to his hometown, Meng Huo and his men raised their eyebrows.
For nearly a year, Nanban was chased and beaten by the East Barbarians and the West Barbarians, either losing the battle or losing territory, and there had never been such a big victory.
Meng Huo couldn't be happier in his heart, defeating Meng Tu, he could withdraw south to relieve the siege of the royal court, and take advantage of the high morale now, he will definitely be able to defeat the Han Barbarian coalition army.
As for Meng Tu, this kid doesn't have the support of the Great Qin people, and he has just suffered a defeat, so he will definitely retreat in Xiban and hold out, so there is no need to worry about him stabbing him in the back.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, the high-spirited Meng Huo sat on the main seat, and when all the generals arrived, he stood up and walked to the front of the sand table, with a look of pointing out the country: "Everyone, this king intends to collect troops and go south and break the Han Barbarian coalition army in one fell swoop, what do you think?"
A subordinate general was just about to open his mouth to pat himself on the back, when a herald hurriedly ran in, knelt on the ground and said in a hurried tone: "Oh no, the king, the royal court has fallen!"
"Impossible!" Meng Huo's eyes widened and said, "The royal court has 100,000 elite soldiers in the town, how can the Han Barbarian Coalition army break the city in one day." This is fake news, a trick used by the enemy to demoralize our army!"
The heralds were about to cry, and said: "The royal court has indeed fallen, the defenders have fought hard for six or seven hours, and suffered heavy casualties, but they still failed to stop the enemy's attack, the northern city wall was breached first, and the defenders of the city were killed on the spot by the Han generals, and the remaining soldiers saw that the general situation had gone, and they had no choice but to surrender to Meng Zhun." ”
Meng Huo took a few steps backwards one after another, until Tan sat on the carpet and muttered: "This is impossible, how can Meng Zhun be virtuous, he is not worthy to be the master of the royal court, this king is the king of the Southern Barbarians!"
He suddenly stood up and shouted, "Everyone is ready to go, this king wants to take back the royal court!"
