Returning to Ye City again, looking at the tall city wall in front of him, Shi Le narrowed his eyes. Back then, he took the lead here and invaded the city. Tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers composed of refugees can make multiple Jin people collapse. Even Sima Teng, who was once invincible and sold his clan as cattle and horses, had no choice but to run away. That was the first time in his life that he knew how strong the soldiers in his hands would be!
Likewise, it was also at that time that he met Bingzhou soldiers and horses for the first time. A mere 4,000 light cavalry, killing the army completely defeated. It also forced him to abandon his benefactor Ji Sang and run for his life alone.
This honor and shame are all branded in my heart.
Now that he is back here, what he wants to wash away is the shame of that day!
Turning his head, Shi Le looked at the army beside him. Now his commander is not a refugee. 10,000 loyal cavalry, who only obeyed their own orders; 18,000 strong soldiers composed of Xiongnu and Zahu; and nearly 30,000 kings of Mijing and rogue troops. In addition to the civilians, there are no less than 100,000 troops!
And this way, from Jijun to Sizhou, there is no enemy to block. All the cities are in seclusion and stand guard, and it can be seen that there is no large army stationed nearby. Bingzhou has strong soldiers and horses, but if he wants to break through his camp, at least 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers are required. It would take more than ten days just to send troops and prepare food. These days are enough for him to deceive Ye City!
"Liu Zheng, Zhiqu, you lead the troops to attack first!" Shi Le smiled coldly and ordered to his confidants.
The two of them obeyed the order, one led the cavalry and the other led the people, and began to attack the city. The cloud ladder and the nest cart were pushed to the front with the shouting. Everyone can see that there are still unremoved stalks in the nearby fields, which means that Yecheng also has a harvest during the severe drought, and the city is full of grain!
I have long been hungry and green eyes. Who cares about life and death among these soldiers who are plundering everywhere? Destroying the city and looting is their only hope of survival! What about arrows? What about Leimu? How about boiling water? Even the black and smelly kerosene that was thrown away could not scare them back. Like an inexhaustible ant colony, the black crowd rushed towards the city!
For a time, the killings shook the sky, and the arrows rained down. Shi Le frowned, the defense of Ye City was indeed strict. The defense equipment alone is endless, making it difficult to deal with. Hard attack is absolutely impossible to attack.
However, he did not show any timidity. He turned his head and said to his confidant: "The other doors are all optimistic. If there is a signal, report it immediately!"
There are more than one gates in Ye City. Even if the soldiers in the city are heavily guarded, when the main gate is attacked, there will be omissions in the other gates. And the ambush he dispatched would set off fire and open the city gate when the enemy was not prepared in time. A light cavalry will then be able to break into the city. He has many soldiers, but there are few soldiers in the city, so why not break the fortress
Several teams of scouts were ordered to go out quietly.
in the city. Wu Yu was also sweating profusely. There are countless people under the city walls, shouting endlessly. Teams of people rushed to carry the city defense equipment, and it was shocking to see the number of pine trees and arrows piled up.
On this day, Wu Yu did not rest at all, always observing the movements of the defenders in the city. However, the more he looked, the more shocked he became. This city of Ye seems to have not been what it used to be for a long time. All the places that may cause hidden dangers have been repaired, and it is almost impregnable.
Fortunately, he sneaked into the city, otherwise the general's trip would have been unsuccessful. But how to avoid sight and wait for opportunities near other city gates? Chaos returned to chaos, but the commanders under the city were still quite organized, and they didn't even have the opportunity to leave while the chaos was happening. It seems to have to wait for the evening or night before sneaking into action.
Because he expected that the news could not be handed out to the city, Shi Le also instructed Wu Yu early to raise fire at the top of the city. As long as he can take the opportunity to get close to the city gate, disturb the defenders, and open the city gate, a light cavalry will arrive to help him break through the city. How could Wu Yu let go of such a credit? Thirty people are a little less, but if they act at night, they should still have a chance of winning.
Just to see when it starts...
However, the opportunity came sooner than he expected. In the evening, a school official came to the Minfu team, selected people, and went to Ximen to deliver the saffron. Xu Shi saw that Wu Yu and the others were strong, so he ordered a team of fifty people. This included all the brothers brought by Wu Yu, as well as a few emaciated refugees. Wu Yu's heart beat faster, and he pushed the car with his cronies and headed for the west gate.
This city gate is not far from the main gate, which is the best breakthrough point. Wu Yu took a closer look. The closer he got to the west gate, the fewer people there were. There were only a few defense equipment under the city wall, and there didn't seem to be many soldiers. If it occurs suddenly while the wood is being transported, there is a great possibility of success!
Wu Yu had fought all the way from the dead, and such an opportunity was enough to make him feel unbearable. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the city gate, Wu Yu became more cautious. Just waiting for them to get to the top of the city...
"Go!"
A loud shout exploded in his ears. Wu Yu was taken aback, who is so reckless? Just arrived at the gate of the city, and the sky has not completely darkened, how can you act rashly? !
However, before he could react, Fei Ya arrived. The companion beside him screamed and fell to the ground clutching his thighs. It was only then that Wu Yu realized that it was not his brothers who called for the action, but the "refugees" who had been cowering beside him. Several carts have circled them in the center, and soldiers rushed out of the narrow road next to them, and everyone was holding a crossbow and long stick!
Counted! When did they find out? !
The two thoughts ran up at the same time, but there was no time. Wu Yu roared and wanted to lead the crowd to break through, but the enemies around him didn't give them a chance at all.
Almost in an instant, everyone was shot with arrows and sticks. There was not even a chance to resist, none of the thirty-two people fell, but were pushed to the ground. Wu Yu's face flushed with anger, and he cursed loudly, but the long stick next to him swept away and slapped his mouth crookedly.
"What method are you going to use to spread the message?" An unremarkable man dressed as a refugee walked up to Wu Yu. Condescendingly, he asked coldly.
"Baby embryo! How could Lao Tzu betray the general?!" With blood all over his mouth, Wu Yu still shouted angrily, without any sign of backing down. Horizontal and vertical are also dead, how could he have killed his family's generals
"Oh?" The man smiled slightly, "It's okay. Think about it slowly, and then just tell me."
Seeing the other party's somewhat gloomy smile, Wu Yu stood up with cold hairs on his back, wanting to say something. However, a mass of rolled up rags had already been stuffed into his mouth. A group of people cut their hands backwards, like dead pigs and sandbags, and were dragged down.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the color on Shi Le's face became more intense.
The strength of Yecheng still exceeded his expectations. Tens of thousands of people desperately attacked the city, but not a single person made it to the top of the city. At the end of the day, let alone the civilians, more than 3,000 soldiers were killed or wounded. If he can't take advantage of the chaos to destroy the city, he doesn't need to join the state troops. After ten days, his army will be destroyed without attacking.
I don't know if Wu Yu and the others have found an opportunity. At most three days, if the city is not opened again, it is better to go to the nearby Wubao and pick up some cheap ones.
Although he thought so, Shi Le did not order to stop the siege. With a large number of soldiers, he can naturally fight day and night, exhausting the energy of the defenders. At the same time, this can also distract the enemy's attention and create opportunities for Wu Yu. As long as Wu Yu succeeded, it would not be in vain for these people to attack the city desperately.
Will the city open tonight
The crooked moon was covered by dark clouds, the night was getting thicker and thicker, and the smell of blood and burning corpses came from a distance. Standing still, Shi Le kept his eyes fixed on the dark night in the distance. Will there be a scout back
Suddenly, a horse galloped and shouted to the handsome tent: "General, the west gate is open!"
it is good! Shi Le clenched his fists and said loudly, "Zhang Yue, lead three thousand light cavalry, and seize the city with me!"
Zhang Yue is from Shile's clan, and even more of a confidant among his confidants. Without hesitation, the three thousand Qingqi rushed out of the camp and galloped towards the west gate. Shi Le stepped on the horse's back and said loudly, "Organize the army, march forward quickly!"
The city gate was broken, and the whole army entered. How could thousands of people stop his army? In this battle, the outcome has been decided!
Riding on the horse, Zhang Yue was tense all over and his eyes were wide open. Ahead, the dark city gate is unobstructed, like a woman who has been stripped of her clothes. Above the city head, a pile of fire rose more than zhang, and the flames were blazing like a flag.
Can win! They can take Yecheng!
With the sound of hooves roaring in his ears, and the night around him, Zhang Yue only felt that he was growing in the same place with the mount under him, galloping with the wind! close! Closer! It's too late for them to close the gates!
The blood in the chest is like burning. However, before Zhang Yue could shout, there was a strange and dull echo from the dark city gate.
what is that? ! Zhang Yue's pupils shrank suddenly. In front of the city gate, a behemoth appeared. That thing is a bit like a rushing car, but the front is not a giant tree, but seven or eight long wooden stakes side by side, each with a sharpened front end, covered with dark iron thorns, like a magnified one. Multiple guns. And this row is like something that is rushing a car, and it seems to be repulsing a horse. It is mounted on the cart, and the wheels squeak and move forward rapidly.
This is to stop them! Is there a fraud? !
"Release the arrow! Release the arrow!" Zhang Yue shouted loudly.
Shi Le's elite soldiers were all around him, no need to command him, he had already drawn bows and strings. However, after the strange rushing car on the opposite side, more than a dozen giant shields stood in front of the person, covering the enemy of the cart tightly. Where can they be shot
Can't hit, can't get around, just like a splash of water hitting the embankment, the cavalry at the front couldn't control the horse, and slammed into the stake. The horsepower is so strong, but it can't break through the solid defense, and the heart-pounding hiss echoes in the night.
Seeing that the city gate was surrounded by four or five rushing cars rushing out, how could Zhang Yue not know that he was in the game. To withdraw! You must go back as soon as possible and report to the general! Can't get stuck here!
Zhang Yue's riding skills were superb, and his command was even more subtle. In just a few moments, the disorganized cavalry team gathered again and widened the distance. Seeing that the entire army can retreat, but at this time, the carts in front of them slowly spread out to both sides, and the more dull and frightening voice sounded in the night...
Standing on the tower, Ge Hong looked at the enemy army that was slowly turning towards the west gate in the darkness, and couldn't help stretching his eyebrows: "The enemy has been tricked, help General Yi point the way."
His voice was not high, but the hundreds of soldiers behind him all moved with him. Several small Thunderbolt cars, which had been hidden unused, were pushed up the city. The black clay pot was put into a tossing bag made of cowhide.
To defend the city today, they have always used a crossbow capable of shooting 300 steps. The power is amazing, and it is enough to defend against the enemy. But three hundred steps is too close!
With a humming sound, the Thunderbolt car made a thunderous whistle, and dozens of missiles flew into the night sky. One hundred paces, two hundred paces, three hundred paces... The black clay pot still didn't stop, and flew straight towards the enemy formation six hundred paces away!
With a bang, the grease and flames burst into brilliance and ignited the enemy camp. It was like a bonfire was lit in the dark of night.
Under the handsome flag, Shi Le was frightened and angry, and restrained his crotch mount. Yecheng actually has such a weapon, why is it only used now? ! Oops, I'm afraid it's a trick!
"Hurry up and prepare to defend against the enemy!"
He gave his orders very quickly, and he was surrounded by elite soldiers, and he was not scared by the fireballs that fell from the sky. The array changed rapidly, from offensive to defensive, but just as the array was formed, there was an exclamation from the front.
"General! Yes, it's a heavy cavalry!"
