Chapter 69: Zhuoxian Attack and Defense

Yang Wei was also a little puzzled, although Xianbei has a vast area, but the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it will definitely not be able to gather 200,000 troops. The only possibility is that Xianbei united the Southern Xiongnu and Wuhuan, and joined the Qiang people to launch this great operation.

I saw that the 200,000 army slowly closed the siege, and the county seat of Zhuoxian County was surrounded like Lantern Festival stuffing, and there was no shortage of three things at all. I saw a big flag standing in the north and not moving, and a fierce beast on the flag, born like a tiger, but covered with textures, with two horns on its head and wings on its back, I don't know what it was.

The army was surrounded and encamped, it was already afternoon, the opponent's siege equipment had not yet been prepared, it was impossible to attack the city today, and tomorrow would be the beginning of the test. It is said that it is a siege machine, but in fact it is a ladder, and the barbarians can't make anything else.

Yang Wei put his mind at ease, set off from the west city wall, and began to patrol along the city wall, and after going around, he had a general impression in his heart. Roughly looking, there is not much difference between the number of people in the west and the north, obviously they are all Xianbei people, the east has the largest number of people, it is the banner of Wuhuan Shan Yu Qiu Liju, and the number of people in the south is the least, but there are two banners, one is the Qiang nationality, and the other is the Southern Xiongnu.

After a round of inspection, the soldiers' expressions were very solemn, although they were recruits, but they were not afraid, they knew that fear was useless, and the city was broken, not only them, but the entire city would also be reduced to ashes. In order to survive, they can only fight hard.

Guan Yu was excited, this time they had the most pressure on their side, and they had the greatest opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Seeing that Yang Wei had a fine light in his eyes, he had a sense of superiority that he could finally take the lead. Finally there was a battle, Zhang Fei, who should have been happy, was still a little sullen, and Yang Wei asked him to know that this fool now thinks that there are too few soldiers outside Nancheng.

If he was placed on the other city walls, Yang Wei was really not at ease, who knew if he would lead his troops out on a whim. Yang Wei told him that Nancheng was also very important, comforted him a few words, and let him sulk on the side, and he didn't bother to deal with him. Who are these people, the whole war maniac.

Xiong Ba and Niu Jin are very calm, the responsibility of the two of them is to protect Zhuo County, protect the Yang family, and protect Yang Wei, because Yang Wei is related to the rise and fall of Taoism, even if they die, they must protect Yang Wei thoroughly.

Because Wang Yue was not Yang Wei's subordinate, Yang Wei asked Wang Yue to go to the east city wall to help Guan Yu defend the city, where the pressure was greater than in the west, he was afraid that Guan Yu would not be able to cope with it, so Wang Yue naturally would not refuse.

Yang Wei decided to go to the north city wall to sit in the town, which was the most stressful place, because Tanshi Huai was there, and the soldiers around him were definitely elite soldiers. And it is not far from the east and west city walls, even if the east and west city walls are in danger, there is time to rescue.

Yang Wei arranged everything, and went back to his house to practice, because he knew that if he practiced for a few more moments, he would have more money to save his life.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, the barbarian camp blew the horn, and the sound of "woo" was endless. The barbarians lined up outside the camp, and the wagons of earth and rocks dug up overnight were pushed out by the barbarian troops, and the soldiers, with wooden shields on their heads, filled the moat with wagons of earth and stones under the rain of arrows on the city wall. From time to time, soldiers were hit by arrows from the wooden shield and fell to the ground, and then were shot into hedgehogs by more arrows.

An hour later, the moat was finally filled, and hundreds of barbarians fell. The consumption of arrows is extremely staggering, but fortunately, the storage of arrows is large enough, otherwise it would not be able to support it.

At this moment, the brute soldiers pounced like ants, making a deafening shout, and under the round of arrow rain attacks, soldiers were constantly shot to death. The brute finally approached the city wall with a ladder and slammed the ladder up the wall. The barbarians bit their swords and climbed up the ladder to the city.

When the barbarians climbed halfway and there were enough barbarians on the ladder, the wood or boulders that had been prepared in the city would be smashed down, and the barbarians on the ladder would immediately howl and fall to the bottom of the city. From time to time, a scoop of hot dung water was poured down, and those who were poured were even more miserable than those who were hit by stones.

The city walls were full of busyness, with rows of soldiers shooting arrows in the back, some carrying wood and stones, soldiers standing at the battlements smashing the wood or stones at the climbing brutes, and some soldiers were covering their mouths and noses, boiling dung water in the cauldrons, and the air was filled with a stench.

Yang Wei also covered his mouth and nose with a damp cloth, he couldn't stand the smell, but he knew he had to endure it. This is a sharp weapon against brute soldiers, and it will cause huge casualties to brute soldiers. Because people who have been doused with fecal water are generally not treated, they will eventually be poisoned and festered and die.

The first day passed like this, and there was no incident of the brutes storming the walls. Every two hours, a group of soldiers would be replaced on the walls, and the original soldiers would go down to rest. Today's soldiers have long since lost the tension they had at the beginning, some are just numb, no matter who has been doing the same thing mechanically, after a long time, they will feel numb, and the same is true for killing.

The sun sets, and darkness covers the land. Everything calmed down. Yang Wei inspected the circle and told the night vigil soldiers not to be careless and beware of the brute soldiers sneaking up on the night. After a day of intense defense, the soldiers were in good spirits, and although they were a little tired, they were full of confidence in holding the city.

The next day, there were finally barbarians on the east city wall, but with Wang Yue and Guan Yu in charge, the barbarians in the city were quickly slaughtered.

On the third day, the number of brute soldiers attacking the city wall increased, and the soldiers on the city wall finally suffered casualties, although the armor defense was good, but it could not block the knock of blunt objects, nor could it block the bombardment of masters. Moreover, the soldiers were not equipped with short blades, so that the brute soldiers had no effective means of attack when they were close, and could only rely on the rescue of their comrades. Yang Wei secretly decided that after this time, he must be equipped with a set of melee blades to make up for the shortcomings.

The northern city wall was also attacked many times, and Yang Wei began to use the True Qi Blade to kill the enemy, but he soon felt that something was wrong, he had no time to recover the true qi released, and it also took time to return the qi, and after a long time, the released True Qi Blade would dissipate into the air, that is to say, once the True Qi Blade was released, it would be consumed, and it would need to be replenished through a long process of returning qi.

So Yang Wei didn't dare to use the True Qi Blade anymore, but just hid the True Qi under his skin, making his whole body as hard as steel, and then dealt with these brute soldiers one by one. All the soldiers who saw Yang Wei kill were a little stunned, it turned out that the quiet young master had cultivated horizontal kung fu such as iron cloth shirts, and he had cultivated to such a high level.

They once saw a barbarian general with a sledgehammer from the young master's back, slamming on the young master's head, at that time, all the soldiers were heartbroken, thinking that the young master was dead now. Unexpectedly, the hammer snapped into two, and the first half flew for a long time before it hit the ground, but the young master beat the barbarian general with a punch, and the young master didn't have any injuries on his head.
