Chapter 245: Ru Xuan
It's time to get serious.
At the sound of the horn, the soldiers of the Black Cloud Army held their heads high, and there was only killing intent in their eyes.
How the overall situation does not affect their fighting spirit in the slightest, this also makes Li Yue feel a little comforted, after all, it is not enough to rely on outsiders, but also on the sons under his command.
"The situation may not be so bad, and the news we received is likely to be deliberately released by Murong Jun!" Chang Wei still thinks deeper.
"Quite possibly!" Li Yue thought about it carefully.
Murong Kesheng captured Gao Kai, but did not break through the two counties of Changshan and Zhongshan.
Deng Heng is dead, it does not mean that Le'an's army surrendered to Yan State, otherwise the news that Xizuo sent back would be that Le'an surrendered, and Murong Chui led more than 100,000 troops south......
Nanpi has fallen, and Jia's Fort should still be holding on.
"Then let Gaocheng become the nightmare of the Yan army!" Li Yue looked at Yan Jundao, who was getting closer and closer.
"War, war, war!"
The battle was imminent, and the soldiers of the Black Cloud Army in the city shouted frantically, as if they were going to tear through the wind and snow in the sky.
Phewβ
The war horses of the Yan army under the city were disturbed by this murderous aura that rushed to the sky, and they stood up one after another, looking up to the sky and neighing.
But a row of foot armor jumped out of the crowd and rushed towards the high city with a long ladder.
There is a high character in the name of Gaocheng, in fact, the city wall is not high, as a county seat, it is only two or three people high, and it is still made of adobe.
The Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the establishment of the country in Shile, the war in Hebei was raging, and many cities were destroyed.
However, the fact that the city is not high does not mean that the defense is not strong.
Especially in this kind of windy and snowy weather.
At an interval of one hundred and fifty paces, the arrows on the city flew like locusts into the enemy's ranks, and although they did not inflict much effective damage, they slowed down their attack.
When they got closer, stones and wood fell down on the city, and no matter how thick the armor was, it was useless.
The young men in the city carried buckets of warm water and splashed them on the Yan army, and in less than a moment, they condensed into ice, frostbitten many people.
However, the Yan army was bound to win Gaocheng, although there were many casualties, they did not give up, and climbed the city with stones and wood and ice water.
A fierce fight immediately ensued on and off the field.
The Yan army is certainly brave, but the Black Cloud Army is also fearless of death, condescending, carrying a spear and stabbing downward.
A corpse fell down a long ladder.
The blood soon turned into blood ice and attached to the city walls.
There are swords and spears everywhere in the city, and countless people roar and shout, walking towards the last moment of their lives without hesitation.
"Governor ......," Chang Wei pointed to the west.
Tens of thousands of foot soldiers gradually revealed their figures in the wind and snow.
The thousands of people in the North City are just hors d'oeuvres, and even more vicious battles are yet to come.
Murong Jun didn't play any siege and attack, and directly attacked from all sides, as if he was about to level the high city.
A fiercer battle ensued, with the sound of attack and killing on all sides.
Li Yue carried a knife to inspect the four city walls, wherever he went, the morale of the place was shocked, and occasionally the Yan army climbed the city wall, and in a blink of an eye, it was smashed into pulp by maces and axes.
The Black Cloud Army has already completed its transformation and can withstand this test.
Li Yue made a round of inspections, but his confidence became more and more full.
Gradually, the imposing Yan army began to weaken.
More than 20 black clouds will tie a rope, from the head of the city, into the Yan army, flesh and blood flying, under the strategy of the bow and crossbow in the city, the more brave the battle, killing and wounding more than 100 people.
The Yan army was impressed.
In this kind of snowy weather, every movement requires far more strength than usual, and the black clouds will fight for a while, and after exhaustion, they will be pulled up the city wall.
The Yan army stormed for more than an hour, but was unable to break the city, and finally retreated.
The corpses under the city had been covered with a layer of snow and were soon covered with snow.
Silence returned to heaven and earth, save for the whistling of the wind and the occasional neighing of war horses from the opposite side.
The Yan army did not give up, and continued to attack on the second and third days.
Li Yue divided the whole army into five divisions, four of which rotated day and night, and one of which recuperated and regained strength as the final counterattack force.
Chang Wei united with Gaocheng County to order Tian Cheng to mobilize the young and strong in the city.
Men should fight, women should be lucky.
Everyone's fate until the city is broken, the Yan army has suffered heavy casualties, it is inevitable that they will not slaughter the city to vent their anger, it is to use everyone's life, even the old people and children are cooking soup in the city.
There were several times when the Yan army bravely attacked the city, but it was still suppressed by the Black Cloud Army.
The war is getting more and more intense, as if it will never end.
On the fifth day, the wind was beautiful.
The Yan army under the city pushed fifty or sixty catapults, and one by one the stones whistled, streaked across the sky, and smashed on the city wall.
The city towers, corner towers, and moats were destroyed one after another, and the casualties of the Black Cloud Army gradually increased.
was pressed and beaten by the Yan army's catapult every day, and morale inevitably fell low.
Li Yue was originally going to assault the catapult, but after seeing the layers of antlers and armor under the catapult, he gradually dispelled this idea.
The Yan Army does not leak, and this arrangement is to let the Black Cloud Army fill it with his life.
Gaocheng was surrounded by the Yan army, and it was difficult for the scouts to send the news back, and they didn't know if Ran Min had broken through Xiangguo, let alone if the Xiao cavalry battalion had stuck the Yan army's grain route.
While he was thinking about it, suddenly a dark cloud drifted on the northwest horizon.
Coming and going like the wind, far and near.
"Black Cloud Lang?" Wei Shan roared.
Behind the black clouds, a cavalry gradually unfolded, spreading on the distant horizon, about a thousand people.
In the pale world, this black is unusually conspicuous.
"It's reinforcements! It's our reinforcements! The soldiers of the city were overjoyed.
The morale of being smashed by the catapult was suddenly boosted.
Defending the city is the most taboo to defend, and whether there are reinforcements or not is definitely a world of difference.
Just as they were cheering, the black cloud poured down, and the wind swept through the rear of the Yan army, and the Yan army was in chaos and fell like autumn grass.
Just when everyone thought they were going to pounce on the catapult, the cavalry suddenly turned around, swept across the battlefield from west to east, and disappeared into the northeastern horizon.
The Yan army battalion immediately sent four or five thousand horsemen to pursue.
This sudden attack made the Yan army dare not exert all its strength, and the morale of the Black Cloud Army was greatly boosted, and they repelled two attacks of the enemy in a row.
In the next few days, as long as the Yan army attacked the city, this cavalry could always appear behind the Yan army like a ghost.
Sometimes they swooped in, sometimes they just waited and watched, and the Yan army pursued and killed the cavalry several times, but they all returned in vain, as if they could always escape the pursuit.
However, the number of this cavalry gathered more and more, and in a few days, it became a light cavalry of 3,000 people, which brought more and more threats to the Yan army.
In addition to the daily routine of throwing stones, the siege of the Yan army basically stopped.
Early in the morning of the ninth day, there was heavy fog.
Outside the city, there was a sudden uproar, and there were shouts of killing everywhere, and the sound of horses' hooves came after another.
"Kaesong!" At this moment, a sound of calling for the city sounded from under the city.
Several cavalrymen emerged from the fog, the first general, covered in blood, it was Gao Yun.
Li Yue was about to give the order to open the city, but Chang Wei said in a low voice: "No, if he surrenders to the Murong clan and comes to open the city gate, won't it be a big deal!" β
Li Yue was stunned and could not rule out this possibility.
In the first battle of Fuyang, he was taken captive, and he could already see the enemy's unscrupulous means and cunning.
Gao Yun is Gao Kai's adopted son, so many days have passed, the news must have spread all over Jizhou, will he also surrender to the Murong clan?
Blood is thicker than water, and people's hearts are forever separated from their bellies.
"Kaesong, there is a major military situation under the command to report to the governor!" Gao Yun's voice sounded under the city.
Li Yue looked into the distance, there was only a white expanse between heaven and earth, and he couldn't see Hei Yunlang or Yan Jun, everything was confusing......
