154, can the old general eat?
More than 2,000 miles, even if it is an elite, after continuous high-intensity marching, it is also sleepy and exhausted.
Eight days later, on the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, five thousand guards rushed to the city of Youzhou, although they were relieved to see that the city of Youzhou was still hanging high as expected.
But the saint who entered the city was still surprised, five days ago, General Gao Zhen and two battalions had already gone to Jimingyi, there was an accident there, the Zar people suddenly attacked the pass, and Yan Guogong was seriously injured.
General Yang has fought with the Char people for half his life, and he knows the fighting style of the Chaar people very well, and he also knows what the greatest advantage of the Chaar people is.
He never thought that the Char people had made a bloody investment this time and would give up their greatest advantage.
When General Yang was fighting a bloody battle with the Tsal Striker, Nubanu, a general under Tie Plough, led Pigalo Khan to abandon his war horse with 10,000 men, crossed the Yanghe River from Wuzhou to the south, and directly attacked Jimingyi.
When Yan Guogong arrived at Jimingyi, he did not delay time, and directly let his personal guards quickly go to Wuzhou with three battalions for reinforcements.
After so many days, there should be a lot of losses in Wuzhou City, and it is in urgent need of replenishment, and there are so many soldiers here in Jimingyi.
Yan Guogong is indeed right, although Wuzhou City can still hold on now, the spirit of the soldiers has declined a little, nearly half of them are wounded, and several battalions have begun to reintegrate.
These 9,000 soldiers who have just entered the city are also the elite of Youzhou, and these reinforcements immediately added vitality to the city of Wuzhou, and it can be said that General Yang is even more confident.
It's just that when General Yang heard that Yan Guogong had arrived at the Jiming Station, his heart was sudden, he had been dealing with Yan Guogong for many years, and he knew that Yan Guogong was a person.
This is because he is worried that his arrival will disrupt his command, so he stays in the chicken station.
He didn't worry too much about Yan Guogong's safety, Ji Ming Yi originally had a battalion of soldiers stationed at Ji Ming Station, plus Yan Guo Gong's personal guard battalion, and some auxiliary miscellaneous soldiers, Ji Ming Yi was not facing the Chaer people, and it was very safe at present.
After the battle, General Gao Zhen and General Yang Guodong both mentioned one thing in their recitals to the court, if it were not for Yan Guogong leading his troops to reinforce Wuzhou in time, although the city would not be broken for the time being, the casualties would be even more heavy.
If it weren't for Yan Guogong at the same time to strengthen the defense of the Jiming Post and resist the surprise attack of the 10,000 people of the Chaer people, the Jiming Post would have been lost.
The loss of Jimingyi will cause a crisis in the defense of Wuzhou Nancheng, and the offensive pressure before and after will accelerate the loss of Wuzhou.
On the evening of the seventh day of the eighth month, Nubannu's army of 10,000 people took advantage of the night to launch an attack on the Jiming Station.
These 10,000 people can be regarded as the elite of the Zar people, selected from the 100,000 army of the Zar, not fighting immediately, but a real short-range battle.
These people are strong, wearing light armor from the warehouse of Yingzhou in Great Xia, each with a special scimitar made by the grassland, and some of them quietly sneaked to the pass of the Jiming Station with the unique divine bow of the grassland.
With an order, the first batch of 1,000 people followed the path in front of the pass to the bottom of the city wall.
The city wall of Jimingyi is not as tall as Wuzhou, it is only one zhang eight, but the depth is nearly one zhang, there are two city gates before and after, and the middle is an iron gate, and it is almost impossible to break through the city gate and enter the city.
The people of Zar seemed to understand this, and did not go to the city gate at all, but went directly to the city wall.
The way the Tsar people ascended the city was relatively simple, two people underground held a two-zhang long wooden pole, and supported a soldier to rush up the city wall.
The biggest advantage of this method is that it is very fast in the face of the low city wall, but the weakness is also obvious, the soldiers who ascend the city have no combat effectiveness before they go to the city, and they have no power to fight back.
When Yan Guogong arrived at the Jiming Station, he directly doubled the strength of the city, which is also a prudent move, in case Wuzhou is really breached, the Jiming Station here will become the last line of defense in front of Youzhou City.
In addition, Yan Guogong also needs to grasp the defense of Wuzhou at any time, so the city wall is also observing the situation in Wuzhou while strengthening the defense.
Today, on the city wall more than 20 zhang wide, hundreds of soldiers are patrolling, which is also the result of doubling the number of troops.
The tower of the Jiming Post is the same as other cities, and the two horse towers on the left and right sides of the front of the city gate protrude to a zhang.
So the soldiers on the horse tower were attacked at the first time, and when they saw that their men were about to ascend to the top of the city, Nubanu waved his hand and gave the order to shoot, and nearly 2,000 prepared archers began to shoot at the guards at the head of the city.
Nearly 500 soldiers defending the city did not react at all, and hundreds of them were shot and killed, and the rest of the soldiers also panicked all at once.
Some people are busy looking for shelter, some people are looking outside, and some people are shouting. At this time, someone saw the enemy who was ascending the city, and hurriedly shouted, "The enemy is ascending the city, the enemy is ascending the city!" ”
At this time, many of the Zarians who had ascended the city had already climbed the city wall, and began to fight fiercely with the guards on the city wall with scimitars.
These people from the Chaar tribe who landed in the city are indeed very strong in individual combat, one-on-one, the guards can't last a few rounds before they are cut down on the city wall, and the guards can only deal with one by a few people, barely coping.
At the same time as the change occurred at the head of the city, a captain in the city tower was awakened, he was brought by Yan Guogong this time, he was originally lying in his clothes, he jumped up from the ground with a big gun, and shouted to the guards to beat the gong while rushing out with a big gun.
This is a very unique point of the chicken station, several city towers on the front of the city are placed on several large gongs, in case of enemy attack, the first thing to sound these gongs is, this sound can be spread throughout the whole chicken station immediately.
"Bell, bell, bell," suddenly the whole rooster crowed and sounded a gong.
The first to be alarmed was the 1,000 reserve troops inside the city wall, they were in the soldiers' rooms on both sides of the city gate, and these people could not take off their clothes and rest, all of them were unswords, ready to go to the city to guard at any time.
It had only been a few breaths since the gong sounded, and there were already soldiers rushing up the city wall along the horse road.
At this time, the situation at the head of the city can already be described as precarious, as more and more soldiers rushed up, the enemy's bows and arrows were no longer fired, but the guards who were close to each other found that the enemy who had ascended the city was too powerful to be stopped at all.
At this time, the Chaar people had already increased the speed of climbing the city, and the three thousand Chaar elite soldiers had already begun to climb intensively along the ropes dropped by the first successful soldiers who had successfully climbed the city, and the entire city wall was full of soldiers.
Less than half of the first 300 people of the Zar people climbed the city wall, but as soon as they repelled the guards after they reached the city, they put the ropes they carried at any time on the battlements of the city wall, providing convenient tools for the soldiers behind to climb.
In less than half a moment, the attack and defense of the city began to change, and there were more and more Zar people on the city wall, and the guards could only fight and retreat, gradually losing most of the control of the city wall, and the entire city gate would be lost if it was dragged down.
It was also at this time that Yan Guogong rushed to the city gate with his soldiers.
Hearing the sound of the gong, the experienced Yan Guogong knew that this time the Chaer people had a great plan.
If you want to say that Wuzhou is lost, he doesn't believe it, not to mention that there are nearly 10,000 elite soldiers who just went to reinforcements today, just with the original more than 10,000 Yang family troops, Yan Guogong dares to say that it is delusional for the Zar people to want to take Wuzhou in such a short time.
But the attack on Jimingyi made him guess the enemy's idea, which was to flank Wuzhou before and after, and open the defense from behind Wuzhou.
He immediately rearranged it, first placing 1,000 people on the left and right behind the main gate to form a second line of defense using the inner wall, and then quickly rushed to the city gate with 1,000 guards around him to reinforce.
The two generals who followed Yan Guogong, General Yang Wei Jiang Bin and Chongwu General Deng Jingyun, are also first-class generals who have experienced countless battles and battles, not to mention their superb martial arts, and they also respect Yan Guogong very much.
This time, the division of labor between the two was also very clear, Jiang Bin was mainly in command of the pro-military camp, and Deng Jingyun was guarding by Yan Guogong's side, so the second line of defense was handed over to Jiang Bin.
Originally, the two strongly persuaded Yan Guogong not to go to the front line in person, but they couldn't persuade him at all, at this critical moment, Yan Guogong was unwilling to stay behind and watch.
When Yan Guogong arrived in front of the inner city, he watched the fierce attack of the enemy on the city wall with dim torches and lanterns, and shouted, "Sons and daughters of Youzhou, rush up with me and cut down these damn wolf cubs!" ”
The old man in his sixties is full of energy, and this shout resounded all over the world!
The thousands of soldiers around him were infected by Yan Guogong, and their morale was already high, but now they were about to explode, and they rushed up with a roar.
The addition of the new force also gave the defenders at the head of the city a shot in the arm, and somehow, a nameless force surged in their hearts, and they used the last trace of strength to force the enemy troops in front of them to retreat.
"Quick, come on, cut the rope," Jiang Bin rushed to the head of the city and grasped the key at the first time.
"Come on, pour oil, pour oil, set fire, set fire." Seeing that the rope was too difficult to cut, Jiang Bin immediately changed his method.
The thousands of people who went to the city in the first batch of the Zar people were almost lost, and the thousands of people who followed up to enter the city were fighting fiercely with the defenders, and the thousands of people under the city walls were preparing to enter the city, so it can be said that there can be no negligence now.
On the side of the Jiming Station, nearly 2,000 people defending the city suffered seventy percent of the casualties, if it weren't for Yan Guogong, even if Yan Guogong arrived, the city gate tower would be over here.
By the time Yan Guogong went up to the city tower, the enemy standing at the head of the city had been slaughtered, and he was killing the enemy who had ascended the city.
At this time, many tools to defend the city were also moved out, rolling wood, fire oil, and the bows and arrows of the guards, and the thousands of people who were still preparing to enter the city had nowhere to escape.
Yan Guogong laughed when he watched the people of Zar under the city being killed!
While he asked Jiang Bin to hurry up and readjust his troops, he asked people to quickly carry the injured soldiers down for treatment.
Jimingyi is not bad here, there is a small town behind the pass, the security is very good, and the wounded officers and soldiers can also get timely treatment.
Jiang Bin agreed, and at the same time according to Yan Guogong's instructions, he hurried to arrange for the soldiers to be replaced and defended, but just as he turned around, several arrows suddenly flew from nowhere, one of which was heading for Yan Guogong's chest.
Very suddenly, the sky was a little dark, and when he saw this arrow, he didn't have time to dodge, only heard a pop, and the arrow pierced directly from the top of Yan Guogong's left chest, Yan Guogong shook his body, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and he lost consciousness.
