Chapter 298: The Battle of Yanmen Begins
"Blow the trumpet, attack.
With an order, a team of more than 2,000 people dismounted and walked, carrying a simple ladder, screaming and rushing to the city wall.
At the juncture, Li Tong's expression was grim, and he looked at the Xianbei people who were swarming and ordered with an unmoving face: "Archers prepare, release." ”
In an instant, a row of soldiers violently shot the arrows in their hands, and saw the rain of arrows pouring down from the sky, but when it fell, only a few and half fell in the Xianbei crowd.
"Full bow, three shots." Without hesitation, almost after the arrow hit the Xianbei people, Li Tong spoke again,
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."
After a platoon of soldiers shoots, another team follows and shoots, and then rotates again, skillful movements, people can't imagine that this kind of staged shooting, they are actually just novices who haven't been in the hands for a long time.
The sound of popping into the flesh sounded immediately, different from the initial test firing, this time, the Xianbei people who rushed to the front fell down with a bang, and the wail immediately sounded on the battlefield, but the soldiers who were originally following closely behind did not hit each other by inertia, but one by one as if they already knew, dexterously turned around to dodge, or jumped or dodged, and the speed continued to rush without the slightest weakening,
"The string is full of seven points, two in a row." As before, Li Tong's voice did not fluctuate in the slightest, cold and indifferent,
The soldiers did not hesitate, Li Gong's voice fell, and the two rows of soldiers had already moved, one in front and one in the back, and two rows of arrows flew out.
"Whoosh, whoosh." Although the arrow was fired less once, the result was more significant than the previous three consecutive shots, and for a time countless Xianbei people were either injured and fell to the ground, or were directly shot, after five rounds of arrows, the Xianbei people who were about to rush to the bottom of the city wall have gone more than a third,
"Blow the trumpet, and send another team of soldiers to follow." The power of the Han people's arrows, although Xianbei has already seen it, but now the two thousand people have not even touched the city wall and went to almost half, which still shocked Xianbei Shan Yu's heart, seeing that the follow-up was powerless, Xianbei Shan Yu immediately decisively sent people to rush up again,
The whining trumpet sounded again, and this time it was an army of five thousand that walked out proudly.
Ascending and looking, the movements of the Xianbei people in the city did not fall in the slightest and were seen by Li Tong, his face, as if it had remained unchanged for eternity, did not move for a moment, but in his slightly squinted eyes, a touch of ruthlessness quietly flashed: "Pour fire oil." ”
"One, two, three...... Pour. In a loud response, several people worked together to lift the boiling oil that had been burned on the fire rack, and for a while, several cauldrons were slowly put on the wall of the city, and then under the command of the colonel on the side, they poured down at the same time in no particular order.
"Ahh The terrible howl sounded, which was bigger than when the arrow rain poured before, as if it was about to penetrate the sky, and with the pouring of boiling oil, those Xianbei people who were scrambling to climb up the ladder suddenly fell to the ground like a stone, and fell to the ground one by one.
"Kill, kill, kill."
howling, although frightened on his face, the Xianbei people did not flinch, but stared at a pair of scarlet eyes and rushed to the city.
"Throw the wood, until the shield is lined up and ready to come forward, the archers continue, full bow, three shots." In Li Tong's tone, there was finally a slight change, Sen Ran smiled and ordered, thinking in no way without the slightest panic,
Under the city wall, with the throwing of rolling logs, the casualties of the Xianbei people were even more tragic, and the soldiers who climbed the old high on the ladder became a live target, even if they wanted to dodge, it was impossible, and in the bang, I don't know how many people fell straight to the ground,
I don't know when, the Xianbei people who charged for the second time in the back have also rushed to the city, and at this time, the two thousand soldiers who attacked first were almost dead, leaving only three or four hundred remnants of the soldiers to stay there with a panicked expression, not even daring to make a superfluous move.
"My Xianbei warriors, I will die on the battlefield, everyone, the fathers and elders of the clan are watching us, Shan Yu is looking at us, the entire Xianbei people are looking at us, for the sake of the clan, rush." In the Xianbei crowd, the general who led the team raised his weapon vigorously and roared loudly,
"For the sake of the community."
"For the sake of the community."
The roar echoed, and the Xianbei people began to exude a sense of death, stimulated by the blood on the battlefield, a pair of eyes like tigers and wolves, round and scarlet,
Taking into account both sides, the targeted arrows did not shoot the second round, although the Xianbei people were damaged, but after all, they were limited, looking at the Xianbei people surging under the city wall, Li Tong couldn't help but feel a trace of helplessness in his heart, in order to maintain enough defensive strength under the sleepless attacks of the Xianbei people, there were not many soldiers in the city who had to be divided into two, he and Koji Yi led a team by themselves, and there was a shortage of manpower, even if there were a certain number of archers, the role they could play was really limited,
"The pikemen stepped forward and guarded the entrance of the ladder, and the sword and shield soldiers paid attention, once a Xianbei person rushed up, they would immediately ram down." Sighing secretly, Li Tong's face was still silent, and he ordered indifferently, fighting is too wasteful of time and physical strength, the two-zhang high city, as long as the enemy can be pushed down, kill or not, it is impossible for the people who are pushed down to climb the city intact, Li Tong wisely chose a more efficient method,
"Die." At the cloud ladder, as soon as a Xianbei man showed his head, he was stabbed by a sharp-eyed spearman, caught off guard, and fell straight backwards without even having time to react, and in mid-air, with a terrible scream, he smashed to the ground.
However, as time went by, the Xianbei people still stubbornly climbed over the ladder, and at the head of the city, more and more Xianbei people who could not be killed howled and rushed to the guards, and for a while the melee began, and the bright red blood bloomed in the killing, dyeing the city head into a blood-red color,
"Ignition." I don't know how long it took, when the Xianbei people at the head of the city reached a certain number, Li Tong suddenly ordered again, and then under the protection of the shield soldiers, a row of rockets shot down towards the place under the city, these rockets were like sparks, and a lot of oil was poured under the city wall, and they burned with a bang.
"Brothers, the back road of the Xianbei people is broken, kill it." I don't know how many times I have experienced the same thing, but at the moment when Li Tong gave the order, the city head guard general Xiao Colonel shouted loudly, and the soldiers couldn't help but boost their morale when they heard it,
"Withdraw." At the head of the city, the Xianbei people who were originally full of madness and didn't care about rushing to kill couldn't help but change color, in less than two days, they had already seen this method a few times, and almost every time they came down, they rushed to the head of the city, few of them could survive, there was no backup, the follow-up was powerless, they were no longer afraid of death, and it was impossible for them to capture the pass by relying on them, not to mention that they were not afraid of death,
"I want to run now, it's too late." With a disdainful smile, the corners of Li Tong's mouth showed a touch of cruelty,
It's really late,
When the Xianbei people turned around to flee, the soldiers who were still entangled and fighting with them retreated one after another, exposing the Xianbei people to the eyes of this sudden new force.
"Kill." The loud shouts suddenly sounded, and the standing and motionless new force suddenly rushed up against the Xianbei people.
After fighting for more than an hour, the Xianbei people were already exhausted, and they could barely fight with the equally tired city guards before, but in the face of this new force like a tiger descending the mountain, it was just a touch of kung fu, and the Xianbei people, who had long lost the heart of war, were crushed, and then they were divided and surrounded and killed little by little.
"Pack up, soon the Xianbei people will attack again." Clapping his hands, Li Tong immediately commanded,
"Hahaha...... Venda, that's amazing. The soldier went to clean up, Li Tong turned back to his place to rest, but a loud laugh suddenly came from the side, and Li Tong immediately got up to meet him.
"General Koji, I'm smiling." After a modest sound, Li Tong led Koyi back,
"Four thousand at a time, from yesterday to now, the Xianbei people have lost no less than 20,000 soldiers, and our loss is only less than 4,000, even if we take advantage of defending the city, if we don't have Wenda's previous strategy, we will never achieve such a big victory in front of us." slapped Li Tong with a smile, and Koi Yi did not hesitate to appreciate and identify with Li Tong.
Li Tong smiled when he heard this, and stopped saying more,
"I don't know what the situation is on the lord's side, the news has already been transmitted back, if it is calculated according to the normal time, the lord and they should have returned." Staring at the outside of the city wall, the raging flames were mixed with billowing black smoke, almost completely covering the entire vision, and after squinting for a while, Koji Yi suddenly spoke,
"The main force of the Xianbei people is attracted here, and those Xianbei people in the rest of the places are not at all in the climate, there are three thousand guards, the safety of the lord should not worry, he has not returned at this time, I am afraid that the lord will make a move, you and I just need to guard the Yanmen." Stunned, Li Tong's mind was slightly complicated and said,
"That's right, there is still Xu Chu next to the lord, and his martial arts are high, so people look up to him, anyway, I can't beat him." With a big grin, the trace of worry that had just risen in Koji's heart instantly dissipated,
"Actually, I want them to stay outside." After hesitating, Li Tong suddenly sighed and said: "Don't look at the fact that we have killed a lot of Xianbei people now, but it is nothing in terms of the total number of Xianbei people in this invasion, and now it seems that the casualties of one to five in our war can just wipe out the Xianbei people, but in fact, the more the war is fought, the more unfavorable the situation will be for us, this situation is bound to happen, even if the three thousand people of the lord fill the city, it can play a small role." ”
"Haha, it's a while, okay Wenda, you go back and rest, and then I'll leave it to me, if you were distracted before, I'm afraid that the time of this war won't be short, take a good rest, in this pass, but you are indispensable." With a refreshing smile, Ko Yi directly persuaded him,
