Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 247
It's time to get real.

Amidst the sound of the horn, the soldiers of the Heiyun Army held their heads high and their chests raised, with only killing intent in their eyes.

How the overall situation did not affect their fighting spirit at all, this also made Li Yue feel a little comforted.

"Perhaps the situation is not so bad. The news we received was probably released by Murong Jun on purpose!" Chang Wei thought more deeply.

"Very likely!" Li Yue thought about it carefully.

Murong Ke captured Gao Kai alive, but did not break through the two counties of Changshan and Zhongshan.

The death of Deng Heng does not mean that Le'an's army surrendered to Yan, otherwise the news sent back from Xizuo will be that Le'an has surrendered, and Murong Chui led an army of more than [-] to go south...

Nanpi surrendered, Jiashibao should still hold on.

"Then make Gaocheng a nightmare for the Yan army!" Li Yue said as he looked at the Yan army who was getting closer.

"Fight, fight, fight!"

The battle was imminent, and the soldiers of the Black Cloud Army on the city shouted frantically, as if they wanted to tear through the wind and snow in the sky.

call-

The warhorses of the Yan army under the city were disturbed by the murderous aura soaring into the sky, and they stood up one after another, neighing to the sky.

But a row of step armor jumped out, carrying a long ladder and rushing towards Gaocheng.

The name of Gaocheng has the word Gao in it. In fact, the city wall is not high. As a county town, it is only two or three people high, and it is still made of adobe.

During the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, Shile established the country, and Hebei was raging with war, and many cities were destroyed.

However, the city is not high, does not mean that the defense is not strong.

Especially in this windy and snowy weather.

At an interval of 150 steps, arrows from the city rushed into the enemy army like locusts. Although they did not cause much effective damage, they slowed down their attacking pace.

As they got closer, the stones and logs on the city were smashed down one after another, no matter how thick the armor was, it was useless.

The young and strong in the city carried buckets of warm water and poured it on the Yan army. In less than a moment, it condensed into ice and frostbited many people.

However, the Yan army was bound to win Gaocheng. Although there were many casualties, they did not give up and climbed the city with stones, logs and ice water.

Intense fighting immediately started on and off the field.

Although the Yan army was brave, the Heiyun army was also fearless of death, condescending, and stabbing downwards with spears.

Corpses fell from the long ladder one by one.

The hot blood quickly turned into blood ice, clinging to the city wall.

There are swords and spears everywhere above and below the city, and countless people are screaming and shouting, heading towards the last moment of life without hesitation.

"Captain..." Chang Wei pointed to the west.

Tens of thousands of infantry gradually revealed their figures in the wind and snow.

The thousands of people in Beicheng are just appetizers, and a bigger battle is yet to come.

Murong Jun didn't play any siege, and directly attacked from all sides, as if he was going to flatten the high city.

A more intense battle ensued, and there were sounds of attack and killing on all sides.

Li Yue patrolled the four city walls with a knife, and wherever he went, his morale was shaken. Occasionally, a Yan army climbed up the city wall, and in a blink of an eye they were smashed into meat by maces and big axes.

The Black Cloud Army has already completed its transformation and can stand this test.

Li Yue patrolled around, but his confidence grew stronger and stronger.

Gradually, the imposing Yan army began to weaken.

More than [-] Heiyun generals were tied with a rope, let down from the top of the city, and rushed into the Yan army. Flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The Yan army's momentum was captured.

In this kind of wind and snow weather, every movement requires far more strength than usual. The black clouds will fight for a while, and will be pulled up the city wall after exhaustion.

The Yan army stormed for more than an hour, but was still unable to break through the city, and finally retreated.

A layer of corpses had already been laid under the city, and soon it was covered with snow.

The sky and the earth returned to silence again, only the howling wind and the occasional neighing of war horses from the opposite side.

The Yan army did not give up, and continued to attack on the second and third days.

Li Yue divided the entire army into five divisions, four divisions rotated day and night, and one division recharged its energy for the final counterattack.

Chang Wei teamed up with Tian Cheng, the magistrate of Gaocheng County, to mobilize the young and strong in the city.

Men are fighting, women are lucky.

Everyone waited until the fate of the city after the city was broken. The Yan army suffered heavy casualties. It was inevitable that they would not slaughter the city to vent their anger. Therefore, everyone used their lives, even the elderly and children cooked soup in the city.

There were several times when the brave generals of the Yan army attacked the top of the city, but they were still suppressed by the Heiyun army.

The war became more and more fierce, as if it would never end.

On the fifth day, it was sunny and sunny.

The Yan army under the city pushed fifty or sixty catapults, and stones whizzed across the sky and smashed on the city wall.

City towers, turrets, and battlements were destroyed one after another, and the casualties of the Heiyun Army gradually increased.

Being crushed and beaten by the Yan army's catapults every day, morale inevitably fell.

Li Yue originally planned to assault the catapult, but after seeing the layers of antlers and soldiers under the catapult, he gradually gave up this idea.

The Yan army is watertight, so the arrangement is to let the Heiyun army take their lives to fill it.

Gaocheng was surrounded by the Yan army, and it was difficult for the scouts to pass the news back. It is not known whether Ran Min has broken through Xiangguo, let alone whether the Xiaoqi battalion has blocked the Yan army's food road.

While thinking about it, suddenly a dark cloud floated on the northwest horizon.

Come and go like the wind, far and near.

"Heiyunlang?" Wei Shan roared.

Behind the black cloud, a cavalry force spread out gradually, spread out on the distant horizon, there were as many as a thousand people.

In the pale world, this blackness is extremely conspicuous.

"It's reinforcements! It's our reinforcements!" The officers and soldiers in the city were overjoyed.

The morale of the people who were thrown down by the catapult was immediately boosted.

It is the most taboo to defend the city, whether there are reinforcements or not, it is absolutely a world of difference.

Just as they were cheering, the black cloud poured down, passing the rear of the Yan army like a wind, and the Yan army fell into chaos like autumn grass.

Just when everyone thought they were going straight to the catapult, this group of cavalry suddenly turned around, swept across the battlefield from west to east, and disappeared on the northeast horizon.

The Yan Army camp immediately sent four or five thousand horses to pursue them.

This sudden attack made the Yan army dare not go all out, and one ebb and flow, the morale of the Heiyun army was greatly boosted, and they repelled the enemy's two attacks in a row.

In the next few days, as long as the Yan army attacked the city, this group of cavalry would always appear behind the Yan army like ghosts.

Sometimes they swooped in, and sometimes they just waited and watched. The Yan army's cavalry chased and killed several times, but they all returned without success, as if they could always escape the pursuit.

However, the number of this group of cavalry gathered more and more, and within a few days, it became a group of 3000 light cavalry, posing an increasing threat to the Yan army.

Except for the daily stone throwing, the Yan army's siege basically stopped.

On the morning of the ninth day, there was heavy fog.

Suddenly, the sky was boiling outside the city, and there were shouts of killing everywhere, and the sound of horseshoes followed one after another.

"Kaicheng!" At this moment, there was a voice calling the city from under the city.

Several cavalrymen emerged from the thick fog, and the leading general, covered in blood, was Gao Yun.

Li Yue was about to order the city to be opened, but Chang Wei said in a low voice, "No, if he surrenders to the Murong clan and opens the city gate by fraudulent means, it will be a big deal!"

Li Yue was taken aback, unable to rule out this possibility.

In the battle of Fuyang, Pang Yue was captured, and he could already see the unscrupulousness and cunning of the enemy.

Gao Yun is Gao Kai's adopted son. After so many days, the news must have spread throughout Jizhou. Will he also surrender to the Murong family?
Blood is thicker than water, and people's hearts are always separated by belly.

"Kaicheng, my subordinates have important military information to report to the governor!" Gao Yun's voice sounded from under the city.

Li Yue looked into the distance, there was only a vast expanse of whiteness in the world, he couldn't see Hei Yunlang, and he couldn't see Yan Jun, everything was confusing...
