That night, Li Muran organized the people outside the city to take refuge in the city, and at the same time organized the young and middle-aged people in the city to carry water to water the city according to Jiang Lan's instructions.

In the early morning of the second day, before dawn, Yu Wenhao led 10,000 troops to the downstairs of Tiantai County. In the night, under the moonlight, I saw the Tiantai County in front of me, like an ice castle.

"What the hell is going on? Could it be that Tiantai County flooded the city last night," Yu Wenhao muttered to himself, and then asked the deputy general beside him

"Did the scouts come back? Is there any movement around you? ”

"No, General, the people outside the city have fled to the city, and the last general deliberately put the scouts farther away, and no ambush was found around," replied the adjutant general next to him

"Okay, not bad," Yu Wenhao said with satisfaction, "Where are the other two cavalry?" ”

"The two generals have surrounded the other three gates, making sure that not a single fly can fly out," replied the adjutant general

Last night, the two counties of Wuzhai Fugu were attacked by a sneak attack, and the city has been broken. Although there are often garrisons in the two counties, there has been no major war in the past two years, the armaments are relaxed, and the generals defending the city think that it is so cold that the Northern Yan army has been frozen numb, and they still have the ability to harass them.

But it was precisely what they thought was the most impossible that happened that night. When the officers and soldiers guarding the city were yawning at night, several black-clothed men quietly climbed the city wall, attacked the city defenders, opened the city gate, and the Northern Yan cavalry took the opportunity to rush into the city.

After burning, killing and looting in the middle of the night, the two county towns were already in ruins and ruins, and the wounded were everywhere. After capturing Wuzhai County and Fugu County, the two cavalry marched south through the county seat and outflanked Tiantai County.

In the arrow room on the upper floor of Tiantai County, Jiang Lan listened to the military situation report from the scout while looking at the map.

"Last night, the Northern Yan cavalry attacked Wuzhai County and Fugu County, and it only took half an hour to break through the city gate, and after plundering in the city, they came to us, and now they are surrounding us in the south, and it seems to be trying to cut off our back road."

"Hmph, Lao Tzu didn't want a way back, since he is here today, let them have a good meal, and stay here after eating" Jiang Lan said fiercely

"Pass the order, the Huotou Army hurry up and make rice, cook meat in a big pot, and the brothers are full of food today, and they will clean up these northern barbarians fiercely."

In the woods in the northeast corner of Tiantai County, a cavalry is quietly lurking in the snow, both men and horses are heavily armoured, wearing white cloaks, and the surrounding environment is integrated, it is the heavy armored cavalry that Jiang Lan has been reluctant to use. A soldier chewed the jerky in his hand and asked the officer next to him, "Captain, when are we going to act?" ”

"What's the hurry, wait for the signal in the city, don't worry that you will be indispensable today, look at you in a hurry, you are not in such a hurry to enter the cave room" The officer reprimanded, and then quipped

"Yes, it's been suffocated for the past half a year, and the adults have been letting us train, and we don't have a chance to fight with the Northern Barbarians. I envy those light cavalry brothers, and from time to time I can find the rogue soldiers of the Northern Barbarians to clean up. The last time I met them in the city, the yin and yang monsters said to me, 'It's a pity for this good armor', do you think you can not make people angry? ”

"Don't worry, today's battle will definitely bring back all the face we lost before, so that those boys will look at us with their heads raised in the future," the captain patted him on the shoulder and said

At the same time, there was also a force of 2,000 cavalry that was bypassing the Northern Yan army, and the Northern Yan camp was going through the muddy waters, which was the 2,000 light cavalry that left the city last night.

On the side of the Northern Yan Army, they are also burying pots and preparing to attack the city ladder, and both sides are making the final preparations before the battle.

At the beginning of the day, Yu Wenhao led the Beiyan army to the city of Tiantai County, and at this time he saw it completely clearly, the county town in front of him was covered with a thick layer of ice, and the ground near the root of the city wall was also a layer of thick soldiers.

"This Tiantai County has always been rich, and the two countries have a truce before, so I can't start yet, and today I will definitely eat this piece of fat," Yu Wenhao thought to himself

"The order is passed down, and the forward officer will lead a thousand people to start attacking the city, and the first one to attack the city will be promoted to three levels in a row, and a reward of one hundred taels of silver"

Immediately, the Northern Yan army began to attack the city, and more than 1,000 infantry set up ladders to approach the city wall.

When it was five hundred steps away from the city wall, a crossbow arrow shot from the city wall, and an arrow pierced the chest of the Beiyan soldier at the front, and before the others could react, countless crossbow arrows flew from the city tower, dense, like locusts crossing the border. On the tower of the city, a thousand soldiers defending the city were armed with bows and crossbows, and ten arrows were fired in succession, and in an instant, 10,000 crossbow arrows poured into the body of the Yan army besieging the north of the city. The Northern Yan army fell down one by one like wheat harvested by a sickle.

After a volley, no one from the Northern Yan army under the city was standing, and even those who survived fell to the ground and wailed. Yu Wenhao in the distance was a little stunned, in the blink of an eye, how could his thousand-thousand-forward army be wiped out, and he faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart. But at this time, he couldn't think about it too much, "Shang, send another two thousand people, bring shields, and approach the city wall first" Yu Wenhao ordered to the deputy general beside him.

Immediately, the two thousand people of the Northern Yan Army carefully set up their shields and approached the city wall, the strange thing is that this time the city defenders did not put another arrow, but when passing by the corpses of the thousand forward soldiers, these Northern Barbarians were shocked a lot, a thousand people, it was gone in the blink of an eye, some people were lying on the ground like hedgehogs, miserable, and some of them vomited on the spot if they were not strong in psychological endurance.

Finally, the two thousand people approached the city wall under the cover of shields, and found that the city wall was full of ice, which was extremely slippery, and it was difficult to even stand alone, let alone climb the city wall by ladder. But under the military order, they had to act, and everyone struggled to set up the ladder, so some siege soldiers climbed the ladder to climb the city tower, but only halfway up the climb because the ice was too slippery, the ladder directly overturned, and the soldiers on the ladder fell down and fell down again. I tried back and forth several times, but the city wall did not climb up, but my own people were stoned to death.

The soldiers defending the city on the city tower were not in a hurry, watching these Northern Yan soldiers busy under the city, and those who had good deeds were even shouting cheers.

The general of the Beiyan Striker who was besieging the city saw it, and he didn't think about going up the city through the ladder, the ice above and below the city wall was too slippery, and it was difficult to even stand alone.

had to think of another way, attacked with fire, and burned these ice layers, so the Northern Yan soldiers began to set up dry firewood piles under the city tower.

When the Northern Yan Army was busy setting up firewood downstairs, Jiang Lan was also directing the sergeants to carry fire oil to the city tower.

"Since you want to attack with fire, then I will fight fire with fire, so that you can be warm and warm," Jiang Lan said as he looked at the busy Beiyan soldiers under the city.
