Chapter 292: Yanbei Gate City Breaks
Like meteors, large stones fell on the city wall and exploded wildly.
Suddenly, the dozen or so Yan soldiers who were still shouting on the city gate tower were directly overturned.
Although the moment they saw the stone flying, they began to look for a place to hide. However, the smashing down of the debris that splashed everywhere still killed and injured them.
The hundred people were a little unlucky, and they were directly hit by a splashed big boulder, and the blood splattered everywhere, and they were killed.
It can't be said that he was unlucky, but he didn't hide at all, just stood there straight, looking at the big rocks, roaring towards him, and he didn't move.
It's not that he doesn't want to hide, it's that he doesn't want to back down. Before the big army arrived, he was the boss here. When he retreated, the people below were afraid, and their morale was gone.
This is the soldiers who guard the country on the border, and they may be criticized for their behavior in other aspects, but in the face of their responsibilities, they are absolutely loyal, and even do not hesitate to protect them with their lives.
This is the elite soldier of Yan Kingdom.
"Boss ......"
The Yan soldiers, who saw all this with their own eyes, screamed for a while, and then their eyes were red and they gritted their teeth fiercely and said:
"Boss, you go all the way, brother, I will definitely kill a hundred golden soldiers to avenge you......"
This is the first gate to the north of the Yan Kingdom, and the responsibility they have on their shoulders makes it impossible for them to leave.
Although the few surviving soldiers stayed here, they would become the focus of the Jin Army's catapults outside, and the big stones that flew down made their lives hang by a thread, and they could die at any time.
But they did not flee, they hid behind the battlements with their heads in their hands. The blow of the Ren Jin army was like a thunderbolt, and as long as their lives were still alive, they would not flee from the city wall in embarrassment until reinforcements arrived.
As I said before, Emperor Yan attaches more importance to the guards on the border, and the selected guards can not only be trusted, but also good at martial arts. Even the soldiers here are selected elite soldiers.
As soon as the war broke out, they were very responsible, and many Yan soldiers who were doing various things near the north gate immediately put down their work and rushed to meet the battle as soon as they found out that there was a situation at the north gate.
In just a few minutes, waves of Yan soldiers ran up the city wall. The battle to defend the country began.
Although they are few in number, although they are all fighting separately in each squad, there is no one to command.
But they knew exactly what they were going to do, and no one flinched and fled, but each found a good position to fight and resolutely stood on the wall.
The catapults were still bombarding wildly, smashing the gravel and flying wildly, making it difficult for the Yan soldiers to rise. He could only look for an opportunity, and occasionally he would shoot an arrow at the golden soldiers rushing below.
They don't know if the arrows they shoot can hit the Jin soldiers below, but on the city wall, people are injured every minute, and even killed by flying stones.
The Jin army came suddenly, and they were completely overwhelmed, and it was already awesome to be able to deal with it in such a hurry.
If you change those troops who have no sense of responsibility, they will have already found all kinds of reasons to slip away. At the very least, we should come and defend with the large army, right? Just a few hundred people who rushed over in a hurry, facing tens of thousands of troops, isn't that looking for death?
However, in fact, only more soldiers came to join the battle one after another, and there was not a single one who was afraid of death and turned back.
Yes, here we have to praise the Emperor of Yan, he still has a set of means to train troops.
However, no matter how heroic the Yan soldiers were, there were too few of them. The damage inflicted on the 20,000 Jin troops charging below was negligible and almost negligible.
Outside the city, the Jin army quickly rushed to the moat, and then, put the special ladder they had prepared long ago on top of the moat.
A ......
Two ......
Three ......
The Yan army on the city wall hit them very little, and they were able to calmly arrange the ladders side by side.
Then, the golden soldiers rushed across the moat in batches in a chaotic manner, and then rushed towards the city wall.
The bows and arrows of the Jin soldiers rained down on the walls of the Yan army, and the catapults continued to bombard. The Yan soldiers who came to defend in a hurry were beaten very embarrassed, and there was nothing they could do about the Jin soldiers attacking below.
Eventually, the catapult of the Jin Army ceased to function. Because, there are already golden soldiers who have climbed the city wall along the ladder that has been erected.
When the Yan soldiers hiding behind the battlements saw it, they immediately appeared and cut down a golden soldier who had not yet been able to climb the city wall.
The golden soldiers screamed miserably, and their bodies smashed directly under the city wall, and several golden soldiers were overturned in the fall.
However, there are too few Yan soldiers, and they can't control the Jin soldiers who climb up in a large area.
Soon, the two sides were on top of the city walls and hand-to-hand combat began. The fight was very fierce.
However, after all, the Yan army only had a few pitiful hundreds, and they were soon overwhelmed by the golden soldiers who climbed up.
The golden soldiers fell one by one and sacrificed their lives for the country. Those who are still struggling to kill the enemy are a few hundred people with relatively good martial arts.
Just when these hundred leaders felt desperate, the prefect finally arrived with a large army.
However, they came too late, and the city gates had already been opened by the golden soldiers. An army of golden soldiers poured into the city like a tidal wave.
No one on either side fled, and a fight broke out in the city. The soldiers on both sides were valiant, and at first, neither side had a numerical advantage, and the battle was very fierce.
But as more and more Jin troops entered the city, the Yan army soon showed defeat.
There is no way, the Jin army has already made plans and preparations, and as soon as the army arrives, it immediately swings its horses and cannons to fight. The Yan soldiers were really caught off guard,
Even the prefect of Yanbei Gate City was stunned when he received the news that the Jin army was coming.
What is the situation? You have to fight, say it in advance, Lao Tzu will have a vigorous fight with you according to the horse artillery, even if you die, you will have no complaints, and if you lose, you will have nothing to say.
But what's the matter with you coming to fight without saying a word?
In fact, there are less than 10,000 soldiers in Yanbei Gate City, which is more than other state capitals. After all, this is a border city.
However, before the defenders could react, the vanguard army of the Jin army had already broken through the city.
It will not be easy for an army of 20,000 to attack a city gate guarded by only a few hundred men.
This is the siege strategy of General Cao Tianshang this time, the soldiers are fast, and the battle is quick and decisive.
To put it bluntly, he just took advantage of your inattention to come over and grab the city, and he didn't even give you time to react.
Fierce battles are going on on the streets in the direction of the North Gate.
The Yan soldiers didn't flee at first, but as there were more and more Jin soldiers, they couldn't escape even if they wanted to, and they had no choice but to kill the enemy desperately.
The battle lasted for about an hour, and the Yan army that was still insisting on fighting no more than 5,000 people.
