Chapter 718: Battle Jeju (2)

And Jerod was out of wrath.

It's not because he was hit by an arrow in the shoulder to save Xu Wenqi, and it's not just because he almost died in Jeju City just now due to a moment of laxity.

But because of deception, he was actually deceived so badly by these despicable and shameless Central Plains people.

You must know that this time the three clans raised troops to enter Lu, and the soldiers were divided into three routes, and he Yelu Changlong was pinned on high hopes. I thought that I could take Jeju City at the fastest speed and the lowest cost, so as to take this place as the center and smoothly control the entire Ludi.

Therefore, he not only brought the most elite 30,000 people in the Yelu Department, but also prepared to treat the soldiers and civilians of the city well and buy people's hearts. He even wanted to keep the city officials in their posts and help him govern Jeju.

But in the end, his sincerity was exchanged for such a conspiracy and calculation.

If Xu Wenqi hadn't dissuaded him in time, he would have been sent into the enemy's mouth with those 3,000 elite soldiers—obviously, they who are still trapped in it must have been more than lucky.

Thinking about the previous 5,000 vanguard troops, I am afraid that they will fall into their trap and die under the conspiracy!

Eight thousand elite horsemen were killed by them like this, how could this not make Yelu Changlong feel angry? After he withdrew from the attack range of the city, he quickly ordered: "No matter what, I will also take Jeju City!" Take this city, no chickens and dogs will be left! ”

As soon as the order to slaughter the city was given, the more than 20,000 ghost cavalry who had been hit by it suddenly became energetic, their eyes lit up, and some people screamed.

The slaughter of the city meant that they could burn and loot at ease, and that all the warriors could grab enough wealth to make his whole family comfortable for a few years, and that was the order they wanted to hear.

Suddenly, the more than 20,000 cavalry were all in high spirits, and it seemed that as long as Yelu Changlong gave an order, they would rush forward and set foot on Jeju City.

However, at this time, Xu Wenqi spoke again: "My lord, please don't be impatient." This city is tall and strong, I'm afraid that we may not be able to take it down, and we don't have siege weapons now! ”

One sentence made Yelu Changlong quickly calm down.

Yes, it is not so easy to attack a city, especially a big city like Jeju.

Before, the cities in Ludi were able to go down overnight, but it was only because the soldiers and horses defending the city completely lost their resistance after seeing the iron cavalry of the three clans that broke through the Qingyun Pass, so they took the initiative to open the city.

This also caused their army to be divided into three, and they rushed forward, but they did not even have much real siege preparations, and even the army did not bring decent siege equipment.

Seeing that he accepted his persuasion, Xu Wenqi was more determined, and hurriedly said: "But we must also fight back, otherwise it will only increase the morale of the defending army, so I think that it is not wise to go straight to this Jeju West City, and we should divide our troops to travel to all sides, find their flaws, and then go down one by one!" ”

"Wen Qi is right, they are trapped in the city, we should take the initiative. With such a big Jeju city, I don't believe that there are no weak points and gaps, let us enter it! Yelu Changlong had regained his composure and immediately gave orders again.

At that moment, more than 20,000 people were divided into four roads, galloping around the city, and little by little they approached the four sides of Jeju. Naturally, it was to test the response of the defenders in the city and look for flaws and loopholes.

And when they saw the ghost cavalry suddenly scattering and outflanking the whole city, and constantly approaching, the defenders on the other three walls were really a little panicked.

Compared with the arrangements made by the West Gate, the remaining guards are all the most elite and combative elite divisions in the city, and the defenders on the other three sides are a little suspicious of indiscriminate use.

Their strength may not be small, but their combat power is not the same as Simon's.

Not to mention the head-to-head confrontation with the enemy, the hand-to-hand encounter, even when they saw the enemy rushing from afar, many people screamed and retreated, as if they were afraid that those cavalry could jump up the city wall six or seven feet high and kill themselves.

If it weren't for the fact that his soldiers and horses were so unbearable, how could King Lu be easily moved by Kong Wenxi's words and choose to surrender immediately?

Fortunately, Song Qiyun and the others had already learned about this problem from the garrison generals in the city, so after seeing the enemy's movements, they immediately responded to it.

Zhao Qianzhe, Sun Ning and Wei Qianshan were assigned by him to the southeast, north and south to preside over the overall situation. Accompanying the three of them, there was also a team of more than 200 people, which was composed of the Liangzhou Army and the Pingtian Army.

Since the defenders of the city are afraid of the enemy, let them fight with more direct death, or at least force them to let go of their hands and feet and fight the enemy.

When Sun Ning hurried to the southern city with two hundred men, he saw a chaotic mess, with only a few crossbowmen still firing arrows when they saw the enemy's cavalry approaching. But the sparse arrows did not pose the slightest threat to the enemy forces who were observing the surrounding situation.

This made his face sink suddenly, and he immediately shouted, "What are you all doing? ”

In the midst of the scolding, he rushed to the middle of the south gate first, snatched the bow and arrow from a bewildered archer, and followed the approaching enemy cavalry below, and quickly locked on to the person who rushed to the front.

Without any hesitation, Sun Ning had already bent his bow and set up arrows, and when he was aiming, his fingers were loosened, and the arrows had already whistled out, heading straight for the ghost cavalry general who was still looking left and right, completely ignoring the arrows of the defenders at the head of the city.

When Tie Luo first led his troops to the south of the city, he was still careful in his heart.

After all, his clan warriors had just been deceived and lured by the Central Plains, and they died tragically in the city, so he naturally had to be more vigilant.

But when he really got to the south of the city, what caught his eyes was a group of defenders who were completely panicked and at a loss, and most of them could only shout and retreat. The few archers who put their arrows down, but they were also weak and weak, not to mention hurting him, and they couldn't even shoot him.

This reality made him relax immediately, and his courage also increased, and he kept getting closer to the city wall, looking for possible flaws.

And this careful search really allowed him to find a weak point, just behind the moat in front, there is a wall that is sunken in, obviously the foundation there is not strong, if you can concentrate on bombardment, you can break the city!

Just as he looked up excitedly to explain to the people around him, and was about to gather his subordinates to attack, there was a whooshing sound from above.

Tie Luo subconsciously swung his knife to fight, one or two arrows, it didn't matter at all—he thought so, and paid more attention to what he had to say.

As a result, a knife was swung out but it was empty, and then there was a pain in his throat, and the arrow had poured into it from here, making his eyes bulge suddenly, and the words that came to his mouth turned into a muffled snort, and the person also fell off the horse on his side, and died on the spot!

Some people died, but not completely......
