Chapter 538: Fighting to the Last Man (Part I)
As Dongfang Yu and others guessed, Gongsun Yan gave up the large battalion stationed on the front line and moved all his troops to Xiongcheng.
The spies of the Qin State are not vegetarians, and when Gongsun Yan first moved the army, the spies of the Qin State found out.
"Your Majesty, this Gongsun Yan has fallen into passivity, I'm afraid I'm also scared in my heart." Xu Meng said.
"Hmm!"
Dongfang Yu nodded slightly, "You can't let the Yan army withdraw so easily!" ”
"Jiang Hao and Pei Yuanqing listen to the order!"
"The last general!"
"Order your main general, Pei Yuanqing as the deputy general, lead the army of 50,000, and immediately launch an attack on the Yan army! Its intention is to harass and slow down the retreat of the Yan army, of course! If the two of you can break through the defense line set up by the Yan Army in one fell swoop, then! Gongsun Yan's 20th army has to stay here. ”
Dongfang Yu said.
The army of Yan State, if it can't be evacuated in time, when Ma Chao, Hu Xiaoyue, Shangguan Wenhao, and 200,000 iron horsemen gather in Xiongcheng, Gongsun Yan wants to retreat, and it is impossible!
However, Gongsun Yan has always been careful, he will not be unaware of this problem, and the reason why he says this is also to hope that Jiang Hao can bring him different surprises like Huo Ji.
"No! In the end, it will be inevitable, and we will do our best. ”
Jiang Hao knew that Gongsun Yan was powerful, the latter was an old fox, and it was not easy to break through the defense line of Yan Kingdom!
He didn't dare to give the military order that he would take.
"The rest of the generals, when the Yan army retreats, lead all the armies and prepare for a general attack." Dongfang Yu said in a loud voice.
At this time, Hu Xiaoyue and Shangguan Wenhao, one north and one south, launched an attack on the border of Yan at the same time.
There are very few soldiers on this border line, and there are very few Yan troops stationed, so! If you want to stop the two, it is almost impossible.
Jiang Hao, Pei Yuanqing and other generals have already led a large army to launch the most fierce attack on the defense line of the Yan army.
As Dongfang Yu envisioned, Gongsun Yan asked Gongsun Bo, the general under his command, to lead an army of 30,000 to defend it to the death.
The Yan army's resistance to the Qin army was also very tenacious, no matter how the Qin army attacked, the Yan army never left its own position.
Soon, he led Che Qianqiu, who left the front line and attacked Xiongcheng, with an army of 50,000 people, tightly surrounding Xiongcheng in all four directions.
Huo Ji on the head of the city, when he saw the dense Yan army outside the city, his scalp suddenly felt numb.
"General, the Yan army is attacking the city on all sides, our little people, scatter the four points of defense, and within an hour, Xiongcheng will inevitably be lost!" The lieutenant said with a frown.
"Damn!" Huo Ji clenched his fists and hammered the city wall.
"By the way, did I ask you to take out all the gunpowder that Yan Jun had piled up in the storehouse in the city?" Huo Ji looked at the latter.
"General rest assured, if the city can't be defended, we will wait for our own meeting, and all the grain, grass, artillery, equipment, etc. that the Yan army has hoarded in the city will be wiped out." Said the adjutant general.
On the faces of these soldiers, Huo Ji only saw perseverance, and he did not feel scared because of several times his own strength!
"Okay, fight to the death today, and live and die with Xiongcheng." Huo Ji said firmly.
At the main entrance, the flag of the main general unfurled in the wind was extremely dazzling.
"There are only more than 3,000 people in this Huo disease?" I heard that as a young general, I told Che Qianqiu about the detected situation.
Che Qianqiu's face was incredulous, 5,000 people could actually take down a city garrisoned by 10,000 troops? How the hell did Huo Ji do it.
"However, 3,000 men can't withstand the attack of my 50,000-strong army!" Che Qianqiu said coldly.
"Order, the front line is tight, and the army quickly attacks the city."
Woo woo...
With the trumpet of the main city gate sounded.
The east gate, the south gate, the north gate, and the 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed outside the three gates immediately rushed towards Xiongcheng.
Kill~
The rumbling sound of killing has been heard for a long time between the four heavens and the earth.
The attack at the main gate was even more fierce, but the Qin soldiers did not have the slightest fear.
The towers in the east, south, and north were each stationed with 500 soldiers, and the main gate was more than 1,000 soldiers.
When the Yan army attacked, the generals of each gate immediately pointed at the Yan army and roared.
"Shoot!"
The Qin soldiers, who had already set up their bows and arrows, immediately loosened the strings in their hands, and immediately! The sharp arrows shot towards the Yan army.
Xiongcheng is almost the treasury of the front-line Yan army, and inside the treasury, there is nothing you want, so! In Xiongcheng Lili, the most important thing is weapons.
The five hundred people turned into archers, and the arrows fell quickly, and the "click" shot through the bodies of many Yan soldiers, and the empty arrows were shot on the ground.
Five hundred arrows, in fact, is quite a lot.
Yan Jun hurriedly blocked the shield in his hand obliquely in front, braving the rain of arrows to attack, and the arrows "clicked" on the shield.
However, even with the cover of the shield, many Yan soldiers still failed to block all the arrows, and some of the arrows were directly shot on the thighs of the Yan soldiers, causing severe pain in an instant, making the Yan soldiers fall down in an instant.
But if you don't pay attention, you let the fallen soldier shoot through the back.
"Archer, shoot back!"
The leading general immediately shouted.
A thousand Yan soldiers and archers stood in a row after row, and with a "tearing" sound, they shot towards the Qin army. The arrows were very violent, like raindrops, and the Qin soldiers, who were about to shoot back with arrows, made the Yan army shoot a lot in the blink of an eye.
The battle at the main gate was the most intense, and the ladders were already erected on the walls of Xiongcheng.
Huo Ji commanded the army and tried his best to fight back, but even so, Yan Bing still climbed up.
And under the cloud ladder, there were many Yan soldiers, many Qin soldiers, in the case of several knives in their bodies, resolutely set fire to the bombs tied to their bodies, and jumped from the city tower.
Soil several meters high was splashed under the city, and the huge power of the cannonballs killed more than a dozen people on the ground in an instant.
The Qin army was brave, fearless of death, and used his body to fight with the Yan soldiers.
And under the city tower, as long as the ladder has been erected, there will be an extremely deep pit.
The ladder that was originally erected to the city was shattered into pieces in an instant.
Oh my God, at this moment, Qin Bing's desperate style of play completely made Yan Bing cold, and that kind of cold was already cold to the bones.
It's terrible, Qin Bing is really terrible.
Che Qianqiu in the distance, looking at the Xiongcheng, sometimes a Qin soldier jumped down from the city tower, it would explode instantly, and the Yan soldiers under the city, if they stood a lot, they would let the bomb kill in an instant.
The most killed person was at least a dozen people, and the Yan soldiers didn't dare to stand under the city tower.
"Alas!"
Che Qianqiu sighed, "Such Qin soldiers, who don't even want their lives, how can these mortals like me be able to win." ”
It is not unreasonable why the Qin army became the strongest army in the world.
