Chapter 61: Storming the Tower
"Mingjin retreats!"
Zhao Yunhai spoke loudly.
Bang Bang Bang!
The crisp and loud sound of golden bells resounded on the battlefield.
The soldiers who heard the sound would spread the word of mouth, and the soldiers would then retreat in an orderly manner.
Zhao Yunhai watched the stinky soldiers run back to the military formation, and his eyebrows couldn't help but show a trace of disgust.
The general who rushed up came to Zhao Yunhai with a guilty face, dismounted and knelt down on one knee, "Marshal, the last general is incompetent, he didn't take the city tower, and please punish the marshal!" ”
Zhao Yunhai had a stomach full of anger in his heart, but he was not a fool after all, he said that before so that the general would have the determination to lead the troops to charge in person.
Now that the troops have been collected, it is natural to find a step down, otherwise the battlefield will kill the generals, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to the morale of the soldiers.
Zhao Yunhai was expressionless, looking at the city wall in the distance, "Get up, it's not you who is at fault this time, it's the thieves who are scheming, insidious and cunning." ”
"I thought that yesterday they used dung as a temporary move, but who would have thought that they would use it again today."
When the general heard this, he hurriedly spoke, "Marshal, give me another chance, I will definitely lead the troops to rush up and plant the Shuai flag high on the city tower." ”
Zhao Yunhai shook his head, "You step back first." ”
"Herald!"
As the words fell, a soldier on a horse quickly stepped forward, "What does the marshal command?" ”
Zhao Yunhai said coldly, "Pass on my military order, everyone shouted in unison, the prince of the Southern Dynasty came out to surrender, otherwise the day the city is broken, the old and the young will not be left!" ”
The herald received the order, turned his horse's head and ran towards the rear military formation, shouting Zhao Yunhai's military orders all the way.
When the herald returned to Zhao Yunhai to resume his life, Zhao Yunhai nodded, tightened the rope in his hand, and the horse couldn't help but take two steps forward.
He violently raised the long knife in his hand forty-five degrees upward, and said loudly, "The prince of the Southern Dynasty came out to surrender, otherwise on the day the city is broken, the old and young will not be left!" ”
Behind Zhao Yunhai, shouts rang out like thunder.
The sound crossed the space between the two armies and was transmitted to the Yecheng City Tower with great clarity.
Yang Jiang's face was all over again, and he strode towards Ye Yu not far away, "Your Royal Highness, the other party threatens to slaughter the city." ”
Ye Yu's face was serious, and his hands were behind his back, "I heard it." ”
The two of Yang Jiang and Wang Xianzhi glanced at each other, and then quietly waited for Ye Yu's orders.
"How long can the city be held?" Ye Yu spoke softly.
No one answered.
Ye Yu frowned, turned his head to look at the two, "Don't you dare to say?" ”
The two looked embarrassed.
Ye Yu said in a deep voice, "I want to know what you think. ”
Yang Jiang lowered his head and clenched his fists, "Your Royal Highness, the next attack of the imperial army will inevitably be more fierce, and my determination to defend the city is as solid as a rock, but the grain and grass are..."
"How long will there be enough food and grass?" Ye Yu asked softly.
Yang Jiang replied in a deep voice, "The grain and grass are only enough for ten days. ”
"Ten days." Ye Yu turned his head to look out of the city.
He knew in his heart that it would be about ten days at most, and Yecheng would be broken.
"Wang Xianzhi, once you receive the Southern Dynasty flying pigeon message, tell me immediately." Ye Yu spoke.
Wang Xianzhi hurriedly received the order.
Tie Niu panted and climbed up the city tower, "Shizi, I suggest that the gate be blocked with a stone, otherwise it won't last long." ”
"You can do it." Ye Yu looked back at him.
"You go and count the casualties first, the other side has not returned to the camp, and will definitely continue to attack." He added.
The three of them took the lead and turned to leave.
Wang Xianzhi took two steps and looked back at Ye Yu's back, with a hint of worry on his face.
"Cheap father, if you can't get to Yecheng within ten days, your cheap son will be hacked to death with a knife." Ye Yu muttered softly in a voice that only he could hear.
Downstairs in the city, Zhao Yunhai had just held an impromptu meeting, and in the end nothing was decided.
Zhao Yunhai looked at the Yecheng city wall in the distance, and finally relented, if it is a war, there will definitely be casualties, and he is still the besieging party.
He pulled out the long knife at his waist again and shouted, "Kill!" ”
A team of 10,000 people rushed towards Yecheng.
Zhao Yunhai planned to use wheel tactics to make the defenders in the city have no time to rest at all.
Behind him, a general danced with a spear in his hand and crossed Zhao Yunhai.
A 20,000-strong archery formation that had just been reorganized ran quickly forward.
Under the cover of shield soldiers, they will form an archer formation, which will be used to suppress the defenders on the towers, so that the siege troops can rush up the walls more smoothly.
A fierce battle began, and that fight lasted three full hours.
The besieging troops can be replaced to rest because of wheel warfare, but the defenders are different.
As soon as someone falls, there are soldiers on the stairs who quickly make up for it.
Some soldiers were unlucky, and the position of the brother who had just taken over was shot by an arrow, and the whole person fell directly.
Wang Xianzhi said to Ye Yu, "Your Royal Highness, the gold juice is not available at all, and the effect of the gold juice that is not boiled is not very effective. ”
"Let's prepare more cauldrons below and take turns to burn!" Ye Yu saw the urgency of the situation.
"Quick! The enemy army is on the city! One of the defenders spoke loudly.
Ye Yu followed the prestige, only to see an enemy soldier climb up to the top of the city and slash the defenders who were about to smash stones with one sword.
He then jumped off the tower and fought the defenders in the aisles of the city walls.
More and more enemy troops climbed up, and for a time hand-to-hand combat began on the walls.
"Follow me!"
Ye Yu took the knife and rushed over first.
After this series of battles, his combat experience has become higher and higher, and the fear in his heart has also decreased a lot.
When Iron Bull heard that the enemy army was coming upstairs, he immediately rushed up the city wall with two axes and slashed indiscriminately, and it was almost impossible for the enemy army he was targeting to survive two axes in front of him.
Zhao Yunhai's face finally showed a smile under the city, his soldiers finally attacked, and there was no reason to be beaten down again this time.
He said loudly, "Go to another team of 10,000 people, you must take the city tower!" ”
Boom, a team of 10,000 people rushed forward.
Zhao Yunhai knew that Yecheng was almost already in the bag.
It was impossible for the defenders of the city to drive their 20,000-strong troops off the tower in a short period of time.
Although it is impossible for all 20,000 people to climb up.
After Ye Yu killed three unlucky ghosts in a row, blood also splashed on his face.
"Brothers, drive them down!"
He yelled.
At the same time, in front of the tent of the general of the Southern Dynasty garrison, hundreds of soldiers drew their swords and stared at the front with an unkind expression.
"Sir is here, get out of the way!"
An adjutant general hurriedly spoke, directing the soldiers to get out of the way.
Mr. Wen Zhu looked solemn, carried his back with one hand, and quickly walked into the tent.
Inside the tent, a man in black stood in front of Ye Xiong's bed with a soft sword.
When Mr. Wen Zhu saw the man in black, his expression was not surprised, "Xiaohu, get out of the way." ”
Xiaohu saw Mr. Wenzhu coming, and immediately stood aside, and no emotion could be heard in his tone, "The prince said before his death, if Mr. does not come, no one is allowed to approach." ”
