I’m The King Chapter 475: : Desperate Fight (Part 2)
For two consecutive days, Hu Yanchao spared no effort to attack the south city wall. In the past two days, the corpses of two thousand Yan army standing troops have been lying under the south city wall. In addition, at the beginning, soldiers from Liaoxi County and Tianhe County died here Under the southern city, there were already more than 5,000 corpses. On the ground, a thick pile of corpses had already been piled up, making the city wall a few feet shorter.
Hu Yanchao's madness completely attracted Ye Zhen's attention to the south city wall. It seemed that Hu Yanchao was determined to break through from here. Almost all the Yan State's standing army has been devoted to this battlefield. Ye Zhen is not unprepared for Hu Yanchao's possible attacks, but Hu Yanchao's formation finally slowly lowered his vigilance. In fact, Hu Yanchao's persistence also made him The defensive troops in other directions had to be deployed to defend the southern city wall.
In Jishi City, there are only 3,000 regular troops. Although most of them are recruits, they have received strict training after all. In front of the flying blood and the mountains of corpses, the fear has slowly become numb. With the gradual increase of the defensive force on the south wall, with the help of the unique urban structure of Jishi City and the defense without dead ends, the standing army of Yan State attacked The number of city walls has become less and less.
However, Hu Yanchao didn't seem to be discouraged at all. Wave after wave of troops, battalion by battalion rotation, kept launching attacks on the southern city wall again and again.
Stone bombs and crossbow arrows were flying all over the sky, and the two sides shot at each other so intensively that sometimes they collided in the air. Under this kind of attack, people died in the city, and countless catapults and beds collapsed. Crossbows, and on the city, apart from the dead, their city walls also began to be damaged under such intensive attacks. The battlements were knocked down one by one, and dents were made on the solid stones.
Ye Zhen looked up at the sky, the sky was getting dark gradually, but the opponent didn't seem to have the slightest plan to strike, which made Ye Zhen a little puzzled, could it be that the opponent was going to fight at night?
"General Ye. Does Hu Yanchao want to fight at night?" Jiang Jiaquan appeared on the tower, standing beside Ye Zhen, looking at the more and more torches and bonfires on the battlefield, and asked.
"It looks like this. I don't understand." Ye Zhen shook his head. "There is no need for Hu Yanchao to do this."
"One effort, then decline, three exhaustion, is it possible that Hu Yanchao is going to exert all his energy?"
Ye Zhen shook his head, "Hu Yanchao is a veteran, so he shouldn't think so."
"Then there is another possibility!" Jiang Jiaquan's eyes lit up, "Zhou Yu has already been defeated by the general. Tan Feng has nothing to do, so he can only take down Jishi City alone, and then use the general's wife and us as our targets." Threat, come to help the general."
Ye Zhen was shocked, and turned to look at Jiang Jiaquan, "It makes sense. If Zhou Yu loses, Tan Feng will have very limited time."
"But why did Hu Yanchao only attack the south? If he was alone, he should besiege from all sides!" Jiang Jiaquan shook his head again.
"His strength is not enough!" Ye Zhen shook his head and said, "Jishi City is huge. If he spreads his strength, he may not be able to break through even one place. It is more beneficial to concentrate his strength. It seems that Tan Feng should be It’s really lonely, look, they moved. Hey, Wei San Que Yi, is this trying to force us to abandon the city and flee?”
Amidst Ye Zhen's sneer, the main force of the Yan army moved at full speed, heading towards the south, east, and west in all directions, while the only left behind was the vast grassland behind Beicheng. He turned around abruptly and looked at Jiang Jiaquan, " Chang Shi, it's time for a decisive battle. Please gather all the young and strong people in the city and prepare to defend the east and west walls. I have left 500 veterans there. Under the command of Tang Ming and Wang Yi, the south city is I will personally guard the main attack direction of the Yan army."
"Okay!" Jiang Jiaquan also became a little nervous at this time, "What about the North City?"
"Where is the place where the Yan army left us to abandon the city and flee, it is a good idea to fight. There are 20,000 to 30,000 Huns in the city. Tan Feng is thinking that when the situation is urgent, these Huns may be able to open City gate, escape to the grassland they are familiar with, once this escape opening is opened, it will never be blocked, and the next thing will be much easier."
"But they didn't expect that we would never abandon the city.
Ye Zhen thought for a while, then suddenly laughed, "Chang Shi, we have a cavalry!"
Jiang Jiaquan's eyes lit up, "Master Helan."
"Yes, Instructor Helan!" Ye Zhen's eyes were full of murderous intent, "Our troops have been fighting for the past few days, and Hu Yanchao has figured it out. The only thing he doesn't know is that the cavalry, war At the most intense time, if Beicheng opens up and flees, then I think the Yan army may be happy to see it."
Jiang Jiaquan applauded and laughed, "But what they didn't expect was that it wasn't fugitives who left the city, but a cavalry that killed them."
Ye Zhen also laughed loudly, "The Yan army launched an all-round attack on the city. Without a complete formation, they would have no weapon to deal with the cavalry. If an iron cavalry swept past at this time, what would be the result? ?”
"It's a pity that this cavalry is a little weaker. There are old ones, young ones, and even a lot of strong women. If it is a real iron cavalry, it will make Tan Feng return home today." Jiang Jiaquan felt a little regretful. .
"That's right, with He Lan's personal soldiers and Bai Yucheng's scout battalion hundreds of people as front arrows, it is enough to pierce the Yan army. Chang Shi, without the protection of a dense formation and the cover of long-range weapons Underneath, the infantry meets the cavalry with only two words, and they break up. Can you imagine the power and power of a guy who weighs a thousand or two thousand with a horse and a horse rushing forward? At this time, it is not a knight immediately, but a vertical Elders, bumping can also create a **** path." Ye Zhen spread his hands, "Anyway, if I encounter this kind of situation, my first reaction is to run away!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
"Come here, hurry up and ask Helan Coach to come over!" Jiang Jiaquan ordered amidst a long laugh.
Almost at the moment when the last attack was being made in Jishi City, Tan Feng was standing in the camp. Combining the strength of the two armies, the most powerful one will be divided, and in front of these people, there are a hundred Yanling Guard soldiers, these are Tan Feng's private goods, and each of these people is fighting alone Experts, everyone's skill is enough to deal with dozens of ordinary soldiers.
Tan Feng's eyes were very sharp, scanning Zhang Zhuo and Ji Wuqing who led the attack this time, and his voice was extremely cold: "You must remember that for this attack of yours, General Hu has been fighting against Ji Wuqing for two consecutive days. Shicheng has launched an offensive that does not count sacrifices. In front of you, thousands of corpses of standing army soldiers have been laid. Now, the main force of the enemy has been attracted to the other three sides. Your attack must be as powerful as a thunderbolt. Well, if you still can't take Beicheng like this, you don't have to come back, just end it yourself!"
"Swear to seize the North City and destroy the Stone City." Both Zhang Zhuo and Ji Wuqing accepted the order awe-inspiringly. Tan Feng has already made it very clear that this time, if he fails, he will be benevolent.
"These hundred people are all warriors of my Yan Lingwei. They climb the city wall as if walking on the ground. They will be the first wave of attackers. After they go to the city, they will hang down the rope ladder. You must go to the city quickly Reinforce them, and then seize the city gate, as long as we enter the city, the victory will be ours. The Eastern Conqueror Army will only fight against this strange city." Tan Feng pointed to the hundred people. "They went to the city first, and there must not be many who survived. They have put their lives and deaths at risk. I hope you will not let their sacrifices be in vain."
"Thank you Commander!" Zhang Zhuo and Ji Wuqing bowed again. With these one hundred martial arts masters, the hope of capturing the North City Gate is greatly increased. There must not be many down, as long as you go to the city, victory is in sight.
"Let's go!" Tan Feng waved his hand, standing where he was, watching that the surprise attack army he had placed high hopes on would bring him success. For this moment, they have already made two full days of preparations.
What's the matter? How could he let Gao Yuan's wife and his important subordinates escape to the grassland? Xianyu turned around and created a frightening Fufeng soldier. Now, he will never give him such a chance. Not only Gao Yuan will die, but also all the seeds he left behind will be left behind.
"I really hope that you will think that I am surrounded by three people and one is missing. If you really abandon the city and leave, it will be a big surprise!" Tan Feng smiled.
The North City of Jishi City ~IndoMTL.com~ is a residential area under planning, and it has not been completed. A large number of stones have been piled up here. Because of the war, the work of building houses has stopped. These stones that were originally intended to be built are now They have become the raw materials for making stone bullets. Guo Quan led thousands of people on this construction site, holding axes and chisels, grinding stone bullets day and night, cutting pieces of stone into stone bullets that can be fired. Guo Quan's Under his command, there are not only craftsmen who are familiar with their crafts, but also white-haired old men, women with babies on their backs, and children who have not yet passed their toddler voices. Everyone lowers their heads, waving the chisels in their hands, and silently cuts Stone, the place where countless people work, except for the clanging of axes and chisels, there is no sound of speaking. Guo Quan was also among them. Although his hands were heavily callused, new wounds were added on top of the calluses. In fact, not only him, but everyone here was covered with scars on their hands. Wrapped a piece of cloth on it, endured the pain, and started working again.
In the distance, the sound of horseshoes was suddenly heard. Guo Quan raised his head suddenly, and saw black people leading horses on the street in the distance, walking towards here, and he suddenly became excited Well, what he knows better than the common people here is that when the cavalry in the city is dispatched, that is the moment of decisive battle.
Now, here comes the cavalry! The ones walking in the front were the instructor Helan, General Bai Yucheng, and the vicious General Hengdao.
Their arrival also means that the city has begun to counterattack instead of blindly defending.
