Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 204: Precarious

Zhou Sima was silent for a while, clasping his fist and said: "The last general was born in the ranks. He only knows that he is loyal to the emperor and serves the country. If the city is broken, the county and guard family will die, and the last general will also commit suicide."

"You, you, you..." Li Xiangru almost ascended a Buddha into the sky, angrily put up his sleeves, turned and walked down the city.

The defenders in the city stood in battle and were very nervous, but the Han Sui rebels did not attack the city until the next day.

The rebel battalions outside the city have come out one after another. On the three sides of the city gate, two or three thousand soldiers and horses have been gathered, and flags are fluttering. Under the flag of the Korean character, there are crowds of soldiers and horses. It is Han Sui himself who came out. .

Since taking power, Han Sui spent a full two months of rest in Jincheng County. In addition to quelling the rebellion and conquering the hearts of the people, his main job is to probe the enemy, build ladders, crash woods, and siege vehicles. One time for Longxi County can be said to be determined.

Among the warriors surrounded by Han Sui, Yan Xing asked for orders: "Father-in-law, order the siege of the city, and a certain person will supervise the battle." He never forgets the hatred on the top of the city yesterday, so he is determined to take revenge today.

Han Sui nodded: "Okay, you urge ten thousand troops and horses to attack the west side of the city."

Yan Xing was ordered to leave, and Han Sui ordered Liang Xing and Yang Qiu to urge the north and south to attack the city, and each set aside 10,000 troops. After all, Han Sui is now a strong soldier, with 100,000 besieging 5,000 people.

"Enter!"

With an order from Yan Xing, the 10,000 Qiang soldiers were divided into two parts, with 2,000 archers behind, and 8,000 infantrymen were divided into four parts, each with 2,000 people, each carrying a ladder, ready to go.

"The archer suppresses, the pawns go first!"

The two thousand steppers carried the ladder and rushed up, while the archers on the top of the city hurriedly opened their bows and released their arrows, causing more than 100 injuries to the steppers.

After the siege array, the two thousand Qiang archers did not hesitate to shoot, and the arrows on the strings flew out, immediately suppressing the few archers on the city’s head. The archer above his head hurriedly hid under the city's head stomping, avoiding the random arrows, and didn't even care about shooting the pawns that attacked the city.

After all, half of the defenders in Xiangwu City were recruits, and under such a turbulent rain of arrows, they did not dare to show their heads.

Zhou Sima was furious and raised a wooden shield. Dangdang had dozens of arrows nailed to the wooden shield, showing the intensity of the arrow rain.

"Don't be afraid! Raise the shield to resist the arrow, or it will be even more difficult for the enemy's infantry to climb to the top of the city."

With Zhou Sima leading by example, the defenders in the city had to reluctantly raise their shields to resist, and then counterattack the enemy archers with bows and arrows, and by the way suppress the siege pawns.

Seeing that more than 400 people were injured or killed by two thousand steppers, Yan Xing immediately pressed the second stepper on without hesitation. Another two thousand steppers rushed up carrying the ladder, and the four thousand steppers stepped forward and succeeded. There were warriors carrying shields and rushing to the top of the city with a rain of arrows.

Those who first climbed the city were all daring warriors. After rushing to the front of the city, they immediately raised the ring-saw and slashed at the defenders on the front of the city.

Zhou Sima was furious, and hurriedly rushed over with dozens of powerful soldiers to fight the enemy forces who had climbed the city.

On the three sides of the city, there were rebels ascending to the city at this time, but most of them were only standing cones, so they were quickly killed by the densely assembled defenders, but as the rebels stepped up to the city’s head more and more With more, half of the defenders in the city were recruits, so it became harder to resist.

When Han Sui saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile, and said to Li Kan beside him: "Use hit wood."

Li Kan went there. He was one of the few wise men among the eight generals. When he saw Han Sui killing Li Wenhou, Bian Zhang and others, he was the first to take refuge in Han Sui. It can be said that the army except Han Sui’s son-in-law Yan Xingzhi Besides, Han Sui trusted Li Kan the most.

"Bump wood, get ready!"

The archers under the head of the rebel army used a dense rain of arrows to suppress the defenders above the head of the city. In Han Sui's army, there were more than a dozen sturdy soldiers on each of the three gates. The wood aimed at the city gate.

More than a dozen celebrities and soldiers suddenly launched a charge, and more than a dozen people clung to the bumper and slammed into it.

Boom!

The sturdy bumping wood slammed into the city gate, the two wooden gates swayed back slightly, and the heavy bumping wood hit it again.

When Zhou Sima saw this, he was very anxious: "Come on, hurry up and move the wood and stone to the city gate. Don't let the city gate be breached!"

Tens of thousands of troops were besieged the city, and the army and horses in the city were short of manpower. Therefore, Li Xiangru had to mobilize the people in the city. After the young and Zhuang issued weapons, he went directly to the city to join the war. The people in the city are naturally very afraid.

This is also one of the reasons for the huge consumption of siege warfare. Defending the city is less difficult and can mobilize the people in the city to help with the defense, while the siege party can only use a large army, which naturally causes heavy casualties.

The Yan Xing trio had already dispatched most of the pawns, and even he himself had grabbed a shield and was preparing to fight himself.

The rebels and defenders on the front of the city are entangled with each other, and the outcome is difficult to distinguish for a while, and Yan Xing can't help but become impatient.

"Huh, come with me!"

Yan Xing did not hesitate to take more than a hundred soldiers and rushed up personally, but this time he did not carry a spear, instead he bit a ring-head knife in his mouth, climbed on the ladder with his hands and feet, and Yan Xing climbed more and more. The faster, he jumped up suddenly.

Yan Xing, with his hands freed, grasped the ring-shou knife in his mouth and cut it out suddenly.

A defender in front of him was unprepared, and was immediately cut off by Yan Xing, half of his body lying on the ground, wailing.

"Hey, children, kill!"

Yan Xing roared like a tiger coming out of its cage, slashing from left to right. Under the guard of dozens of soldiers, it was unstoppable.

Zhou Sima naturally saw Yan Xing too, and he couldn't help but feel stunned: If such a fierce general is left alone, it must be difficult to preserve Xiangwu City.

"Thief, take a knife!"

Zhou Sima shouted angrily and rushed forward. The spear in his hand suddenly pierced out and pointed directly at Yan Xing's chest and abdomen.

Yan Xing felt the murderous intent from the side, and immediately got rid of the entanglement of the enemy in front of him, and then slashed out.

when!

Although he took the initiative to attack, the spear in Zhou Sima's hand was still shattered by Yan Xing's sword. He knew in his heart that he was definitely not the opponent of this person in front of him.

But how can you retreat at this moment?

Zhou Sima forcibly cheered up, picking the spear in his hand: "Come again!"

Yan Xing snorted, swept out the ring-sword in his hand, swept and slashed with a ring-sword, and between seven or eight rounds, Zhou Sima could not fight back.

Humph! If you were holding a spear, you would be dead.
