Chapter 461: Assault
Next.
It's just dawn.
The soldiers in the city immediately went to the city wall, and all the weapons to defend the city were placed overnight last night, waiting for the Xianbei people to attack the city.
At the same time, before being besieged by the Xianbei people, Han Sui sent someone to contact Cao Cao, inform him of the current situation, and ask Cao Cao to come to his aid as soon as possible.
In Guzang City, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Ma Teng regained his freedom, but did not leave, continued to stay in the city, and it was also his responsibility to defend the city, although he was very unhappy with Han Sui, but in the face of Gu Zang's situation, he couldn't bear to leave, and chose to stay and defend together.
Now they can only put all their hopes on Cao Cao, as long as they can come in time, they can win.
Hold on for a day or two, and they are confident that there is no problem.
With the ferocity of the Xianbei people, once the city is broken, the people in the city will definitely suffer, and it is okay to be robbed of their property, but the people are killed and robbed of the women in the family, which is the most desperate.
Ma Teng didn't want the people in the city to despair, so he resolutely stayed and agreed to defend the city with Han Sui.
Their father and son are for the sake of Guzang people, not to help Han Sui.
"It's coming, the Xianbei people are coming!"
A scout, hurrying back from outside the city.
As soon as he entered the city, the city gate was immediately closed, and all kinds of stones blocked the city gate to prevent the Xianbei people from storming the city gate.
This is the last gate, which has not been blocked, and it is also blocked at this time.
The scout hurried to the castle tower and said eagerly, "Generals, they are here. ”
Ma Teng said: "I saw it. ”
At this point he raised his head and looked north.
You can see the sky in the north, raising a large cloud of smoke and dust, which is the dust raised by the cavalry running fast and the horses' hooves trampling on the ground.
Xianbei still uses cavalry as the vanguard, but after the cavalry, the speed of the infantry is not slow, and the Xianbei people who have rested all night are full of fighting spirit and physical strength.
I can't wait to break through the city gate of Guzang directly.
When the soldiers defending the city received the news that the enemy was coming, they immediately became nervous, and all of them assembled, picked up various weapons and waited.
An oppressive atmosphere appeared on the city walls.
The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and the Xianbei cavalry appeared outside the city, and soon stopped again.
With it, the Xianbei infantry.
The infantry approached, and the cavalry roamed around the perimeter.
To prevent an enemy from attacking on the periphery, they were able to respond as quickly as possible, and after an attack on the Great Wall that killed many people, Tuoba Jiefen became very cautious.
"Stop!"
The bald man stood alone and shouted loudly.
The Xianbei soldiers who were approaching the city wall of Guzang all stopped at this time and looked up at Han Sui and the others above the city wall.
"Han Sui, open the city gate immediately, let us in, I can spare your life."
The bald Pi Gu hated Han Sui to the core, saying that he could let it go, but as long as the city gate was opened, Han Sui would still die, and continued: "Otherwise, I will let you experience what it means to be unable to die, and let you die in the most pain." ”
Han Sui looked at the bald Pi Gu condescendingly, shook his head and sneered: "Bald Pi Gu, what do you think you say, can I still believe it?" ”
As he spoke, he swept over the bald hair, his eyes fell on Tuoba Jiefen, and said: "This must be Tuoba Jiefen Shan Yu, Gu Zang is a hard bone, you are not so easy to gnaw on, I suggest you retreat." ”
Fall back? Not possible!
Tuoba Jiefen didn't want to play tricks with Han Sui, so it was useless to say more, so he waved his hand very directly: "Bald Shan Yu, let's attack the city!" Talking to them so much is a waste of time. ”
"Siege!"
Although the bald Pigu is also the leader of a tribe, the bald department comes from the Tuoba department.
Tuoba is the strongest Xianbei tribe in the Hexi area.
Throughout the southward war, the bald Pi Gu basically obeyed the orders of Tuoba Jiefen.
At the sound of an order, the war drums thundered.
And the trumpets were blown.
The order of the Xianbei people to attack spread throughout the army, although they did not know much about attacking the city, but they also knew how to attack the city.
The ladder is a necessary thing, and on the way south, Tuoba Jiefen asked people to prepare it in advance, as well as shields, enough arrows, etc.
The Xianbei people first used shields to cover the soldiers carrying the ladders approaching the city wall, and then used archers to throw them at the city tower to cover the approach of the following army.
Then, it is to climb the ladder and forcibly attack the city.
There are many Xianbei people, and they are not afraid of death.
Attacking in one go, storming the walls fiercely, there was a feeling that he was going to kill a river of blood.
Han Sui, Ma Teng and others on the city wall hurriedly commanded the defense and counterattack, and all kinds of siege weapons kept smashing down.
Even if the Xianbei people are not good at attacking the city, they also have the advantage of having a large number of people, and soon some Xianbei soldiers climbed to the city tower.
The Xianbei soldiers who climbed the city tower killed several Xiliang soldiers before they were killed by Ma Xiu and stabbed with a knife.
"Kill!"
Matthew roared.
The voice roared a little hoarsely.
"Kill!"
The Xiliang soldiers who followed him let out this roar at the same time.
The sound of shouting and killing echoed in the castle tower.
Another Xianbei soldier climbed up, but was quickly killed again.
Up and down the city wall, there were piles of corpses, and the outer walls of the city wall were even stained red with blood, but the Xianbei people didn't care, attacked fiercely, and went forward one after another.
On several occasions, Gu Zang's guards were almost overwhelmed, but they resisted and killed the enemy.
All kinds of defense equipment are constantly smashing down the enemy's ladders.
After nearly three hours of fighting, more and more corpses were left on Xianbei's side, and the soldiers were tired from the fighting.
All at once.
They can't take Gu Zang all at once, and they will face a situation where their morale can't keep up, and it will be difficult to fight again.
Seeing this situation, Tuoba Jiefen had to give an order, and the whole army retreated first.
Those who besiege the city are tired, and those who defend the city are even more tired.
When they saw the enemy retreating, they hurriedly threw the corpses of the enemy on the city wall under the city, and then sat down together against the female wall to breathe.
But every breath of air you breathe in, there is a smell of blood, and after calming down, you suddenly smell such a strong smell of blood, and you have a feeling of wanting to vomit.
It's very uncomfortable.
"On the first day, I kept it."
Yan Xing spat out and said: "I hope Prime Minister Cao Cheng can come tomorrow, if after tomorrow, the reinforcements have not arrived, we can only destroy the city." ”
Inside the city, there are all Guzang people.
They can't abandon the city and run away, they can't do such a cruel step.
"General, they're starting to besiege the city."
At this time, a soldier shouted.
Ma Teng immediately looked outside, only to see the Xianbei people outside, ready to start an encirclement and blockade Guzang City.
"It doesn't have to be a siege, it may also be a siege of three missing one."
Ma Teng said.
Circumference of three missing one is to give the enemy a way to live, but it is not exactly a way to live, leaving a way to live.
The soldiers around him immediately went to investigate, and soon came back.
It is the circumference of three missing one.
"These Xianbei people also know how to fight!"
Ma Yu sighed.
Li Kan was a little desperate, and said in a tired tone: "I hope Prime Minister Cao Cheng can come as soon as possible." ”
They still regret a little, why didn't they surrender earlier.
Now, it is all up to Cao Cao.
