I’m The King Chapter 399: : siege

Baokang City at night was plunged into darkness. Due to the curfew, there was hardly a single person on the street except for the patrolling yamen servants and soldiers. The streets that have been cleaned of snow during the day are covered with a thin layer of white at night.

There is wind and snow.

Outside the city, the trampled snow and black soil in the daytime are mixed together, presenting a mottled variegated color, but at this time it is frozen hard. Most of the snow particles rolled down in those large and small depressions.

Above the city tower, a few solitary lamps swayed in the wind. The weak lights could not even illuminate the surrounding area of ​​the city. Soldiers wrapped in thick felt blankets could be vaguely seen, holding long guns in their hands. , were hiding in the doorway to avoid the wind and snow, and only when the footsteps of the patrol team sounded, they jumped up and stood upright with guns.

Standing on the tower, looking to the north, you can see an infinite wilderness, and to the south of Yingkou, there are high and low hills not far away, and now they are all covered with white winter clothes. In the weak light, it rises and falls, extending into the distance.

Rows of black figures suddenly appeared from between the hills, like ghosts and ghosts. After crossing the hills, Baokang County is within easy reach. There are more and more black shadows, and in the wind and snow, they stand upright and silent, and when they get closer, they will find that they are groups of Hejian County soldiers in black uniforms, each of them said, They all had a wooden stick in their mouths, and among them, the war horses were all bitten, and the iron palms under their feet were also covered with a thick layer of cotton cloth.

This is the army of Hejian County, led by Yan Peng, the son of Yan Shenghao, the governor of Hejian County.

This is a surprise attack that cooperates with the inside and the outside, and the pursuit is a quick word. In the process of advancing, serious military discipline is indispensable. Therefore, the first wave of attack was the three thousand Hejian elites led by Yan Peng. This is the most powerful force in Yan Shengxu's hands. They are much stronger than Chen Ying's troops who were wiped out on the grassland. They are also Yan Shenghao. With the greatest reliance on guarding Hejian County.

They are waiting, waiting for a signal from inside the city.

After repeated contacts with the people in the city, Yan Shenghao finally confirmed that there are indeed only a thousand Hun cavalry in the city, and these cavalry are divided into two groups, one is dominated by the Gongsun tribe, and the other is loosely disciplined The horse bandits, these people really want to come to Maodong in Baokang City.

Yan Shenghao was furious, and was extremely angry that the Xiongnu with thousands of people dared to despise his authority. They dared to attack Baokang brazenly and regarded his rule as their vegetable garden. Hang their heads on the city wall of Baokang, then his prestige will be challenged in Hejian County, and he will also become the laughing stock of those big figures in other places.

"Attack and cut off their heads." The furious Yan Shenghao issued a combat order.

Yan Peng squinted his eyes and stared at Baokang City lying on the ground like a monster in the wind and snow in the distance. It is also a very difficult thing to have complete equipment in the city. Not long ago, the Huns took him down by cooperating with others, and now, they will use their own way and return to their own way, and use the same method to save Kang The city recovered.

A solid defense is breached from within. The corners of Yan Peng's mouth twisted, showing a smile, the saber around his waist seemed to be whispering, and he couldn't wait to drink the blood of the enemy.

On the top of the city in the distance, a speck of flame suddenly appeared, and the flame circled several times in the air before disappearing without a trace. Yan Peng waved his hand, and a team of hundreds of people stepped out quickly, trotting all the way They ran towards Baokang City in the distance, while the large group of people slowly moved forward.

A team of thousands of people, under the cover of the wind and snow, quietly hid towards Baokang City.

The gate of the city was open, and Yan Peng put his hand on the waist knife, but his eyes were fixed on the hundred-man team that was about to approach the gate, until he saw the hundred-man team disappear at the gate of the city. The hand on the waist knife finally grasped the handle of the knife, with a choking sound, the waist knife came out of its sheath, and Yan Peng roared: "Kill!" His legs clamped the horse's belly, and the horse rushed forward like an arrow. There was no need to hide his whereabouts, and followed Yan Peng, shouting loudly, and rushed to the gate of Baokang City.

The city gate is already in sight, and the smile on Yan Peng's face is getting thicker and thicker. There are more than a thousand Hun cavalry, no matter how fierce their fighting power is, but they are trapped in the city, and their equestrian skills will be discounted by half. People easily invaded the city, and they lost another three points psychologically. This battle was won by themselves.

The dark city gate is like the mouth of an open beast, welcoming the delicious food that is about to arrive.

Yan Peng even saw the huge copper rivets on the wide-open city gate, but his smile suddenly froze at this moment, and there was a loud bang. Inside, the heavy gate fell with a whistling sound, and with this loud noise, two worlds were separated inside and outside the city.

Yan Peng reined in his horse fiercely, his face, which was originally flushed with excitement, suddenly turned white.

"It's been tricked!" These three words suddenly flashed in his mind, "Stop, stop, back up, back up!" With a shout, can you stop if you say stop?

The soldiers in front had already seen the falling jack gate, heard Yan Peng's roar, and stopped in shock, but the soldiers behind were still rushing forward, bumping into each other between movements, and suddenly they turned their backs on their backs, chaotically into a ball.

At the same time, the originally dark top of the city suddenly shone brightly, one after another torches were lit, and some were thrown down the city. At the base of the city walls, piles of firewood sprinkled with grease.

Human heads emerged from the top of the city one by one, the blankets were torn off, and a bed crossbow was exposed to the wind and snow, and behind these bed crossbows, soldiers were holding crossbows , aiming down far away.

Among the flames, Gao Yuan appeared above the top of the city, his black cloak fluttering high in the wind and snow, hunting, looking at the prey that fell into the trap, Gao Yuan showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. After his painstaking efforts, Hejian County brought out their best elites, but after today, they will no longer exist in this world.

Raising your hand, with a light wave, the heart-piercing whistling sound of the bed crossbow suddenly sounded in the air, mixed with the bed crossbow, it was the unique ringing sound of the arm tension crossbow .

At this time, the soldiers of Hejian County were too close to the city wall, and thought that the city gate was wide open. Most of these people gathered together, and the distance between them was too narrow. It is impossible to dodge at all.

The soldiers of Hejian County raised their spears and broadswords above their heads in vain, and swung them desperately. Those with shields in their hands raised their shields, trying to hide their bodies under the shields.

But everything is in vain, because the arrows shot from the top of the city are not shot by human power. Whether it is a bed crossbow or an arm crossbow, they are all driven by machines. The strength of his arms could resist, and the crossbow arrows easily penetrated the weapons swung by the soldiers, causing a rain of blood to fly in the air. In the light of the fire, even the snow particles flying in the sky were dyed red.

Yan Peng's horse was shot into a sieve by the crossbow at the first time. As the general of this army, he is naturally the focus of attention on the top of the city.

Yan Peng did not die in this round of shooting. His reaction was extremely fast. When he saw the flashing crossbow arrow just now, his hair stood on end and he strangled his horse, which neighed. The man stood up and blocked several crossbow arrows for him. As the horse fell heavily to the ground, he quickly jumped off the horse and fell behind the horse on the spot. His personal soldiers rushed forward desperately to block him He raised his shield in front of him.

The crossbow arrows shattered the shields of the guards. These shields are just wooden boards coated with a layer of iron, which can block ordinary feather arrows. They can hardly resist the terrifying strength of the bed crossbow and arm tension crossbow. . Several of the soldiers who rushed up were pierced by crossbow arrows without even making a sound, and they couldn't die any more.

But they finally bought time for Yan Peng. Yan Peng, who escaped the blow by chance, retreated quickly under the protection of other soldiers.

On the tower, Gao Yuan saw that the soldiers of Hejian County, who had suffered heavy casualties from this blow, abandoned the vanguard in a very short period of time, and the rear team turned to the front team, retreating quickly.

"Beat the drum!" Gao Yuan nodded slightly, Yan Shenghao's army at the bottom of the box really has a set~IndoMTL.com~ If this time it is not a trap to let the opponent get in, but a face-to-face decisive battle with the opponent, think It is really difficult to win, especially when one's own troops are at a disadvantage.

In order to increase the suddenness of these next trips, Yan Peng led the most elite 3,000 people to raid overnight, and he led another 2,000 people and 3,000 county soldiers conscripted from various places to advance. The safe arrangement finally made him fall into the abyss.

As the drums of Baokang City rumbled, a large area of ​​torches suddenly lit up around the soldiers of Hejian County. Then, Ye Zhen stood high on the horse's head, and the private soldiers of Qianye's family under his command approached step by step, shouting, and farther away, the sound of rumbling horseshoes made Yan Peng's heart shattered.

Just now I was still imagining how to go into the city to torture and kill those Huns, but in a blink of an eye, I was surrounded by strong enemies, and I was actually wrapped in dumplings.

Gao Yuan casually picked up the Mo Dao beside him, looking back at Tie Xuan, Ding Wei said, "Let's go, let's add fire and take down this group of people, and Yan Shenghao is waiting for us to deal with it!"

Both Tie Xuan and Ding Wei laughed loudly, annihilating the enemy in front of them, and the war was basically over. Yan Shenghao was afraid that he would run away after hearing the news. rs
