Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 441 Trap
Breaking through Xiangguo's city wall does not mean the end of the war.
Some of the Yan army in the city fled frantically from the north gate. The men and horses crowded each other and trampled on each other.

Some stayed in the inner city to fight to the death.

Jie Zhao built an imperial city in Xiang State, but these people refused to retreat.

General Yan was at the top of the city to encourage morale, "The reinforcements of the Governor are on the way. We only need to defend for half a day to defeat the Liang thieves and capture Li Yue alive!"

The Imperial City is smaller than the outer city, but more solid. It is built with stone materials. The pegs and arrows cannot be nailed up, and the charging vehicles cannot enter. The soldiers can only climb the long ladder with their flesh and blood.

Since they are willing to stay, they are all veterans of the Yan army and are devoted to the Murong family.

One man fights for his life, and hundreds of people overcome difficulties. Once a person has the determination to die, his combat effectiveness will soar.

Although the Heiyun soldiers were brave enough to attack upwards without fear of death, they were blocked by the city wall and could not do anything for a moment. The soldiers were already exhausted.

"Where is Murong Ke?" Li Yue calmed down instead.

There were about 6000 people left in the imperial city, and the tooth flag of Murong Jun was floating on the tower. It was this tooth flag that condensed the last breath of the Yan army.

This attack on Xiangguo was originally an act of seizing chestnuts from the fire, using speed to defeat the slow and attacking the enemy unprepared.

A forceful attack is not impossible, but looking at the momentum of the Yan army on the city, it will be a hard fight. If they have a decisive battle with Murong Ke's elite men, the situation will be a bit dangerous.

"Murong Ke personally led [-] elite cavalry southward, and has reached Zhongqiu, with [-] infantry behind him." Zhang Shengye cupped his hands and said.

The shadow of the tree, the name of the person, Murong Ke's reputation is too loud.

The Yan Kingdom is what it is today, all thanks to him. Even the arrogant Ran Min was captured alive by him.

Zhongqiu is only forty or fifty miles away from Xiangguo, so half a day is enough.

There are still some remnant troops in the city who are resisting desperately, and black smoke is billowing into the sky.

Li Yue glanced at the imperial city. Under the fang flag, a general stood upright against the wind, his gray hair fluttering in the wind, and his red cloak billowing back and forth, looking quite desperate.

Needless to say, this man is Murong Jun, the general of Fujun of Yan State, the eighth son of Murong Xin, and the uncle of Murong Ke.

Judging from his posture, there is no need to persuade him to surrender.

"Well done! Murong Ke dares to come, I will make sure he never comes back! Send an order to postpone the attack on the inner city. The two armies of the Zhongba and Xiaoqi will stick to the camp outside the city. The two armies of the Backbone and Forward will rest on the spot. The other The army quickly cleared the city wall and outer city, and opened all the city gates. I want to see if Murong Ke dares to enter the city!" Li Yue responded calmly.

Murong Jun is a turtle in a urn and cannot escape.

When marching and fighting, don't mess up the position. The one who threatens is Murong Ke.

Murong Ke's value was much greater than Murong Jun's, and even greater than this city.

Li Yue simply used Xiangguo City as the battlefield, invited Murong Ke to enter the urn, and decided the winner here. Murong Ke was good at cavalry, but the city turned against him.

"Take your orders!" The ordering soldiers flew away.

Xiangguo City surrendered to Ran Min four years ago, and all the people in the city were moved away.

Later, Murong Chui took advantage of the fall of Ran Wei and attacked Xiangguo. The few remaining people in the city were moved away and turned into a large military camp.

Xu Cheng ordered the houses to be pulled down and the broken walls used as antlers to guard against Murong Ke's cavalry and the sudden attack of Murong's army.

However, the entry of tens of thousands of troops into the city cannot be completed in a moment.

In order to avoid trampling on each other, Xu Cheng put up more than 50 long ladders in Nancheng for the soldiers to climb into the city.

Although there is still some confusion, the speed of entering the city is much faster.

Li Yue led the Su guards stationed under the north city gate. A pole with the word "Liang" stood on the top of the city tower, reaching into the sky.

In the winter in the North, the sky is clear and blue, and low white clouds seem to be floating around the teeth.Xu Cheng defended Nancheng.

The fighting on the city wall and in the city became more intense. Zhang Hao was leading his army to fight to the death. However, the city wall was narrow and overcrowded, and the Heiyun Army's strength advantage could not be used.

We can only move forward step by step.

Almost all of the Yan troops left behind were dead soldiers. Their corpses were piled up into a fortress, and they were strangled with the Black Cloud Army at the top of the city.

All kinds of screams came one after another, and the desperate Yan army squeezed off the city wall and fell into a ball of bloody mud.

Some people were lying on the ground, begging for life.

I don't know when a fire broke out in the city. Black smoke billowed and the fire was so powerful that it seemed like kerosene was used. The screams came from the fire, and a scorching smell filled the city.

The war horses, cattle and sheep were disturbed and ran around, and the soldiers happily stepped forward to capture them.

Because of this fire, the resistance in the city gradually subsided.

However, the resistance on the outer city wall continued. Shi Le spent 18 years building the capital city with a circumference of more than [-] miles. At its peak, there were more than [-] Xiahu in the city.

The living spring water was introduced to flow around the city. Four gates were opened in the city. Beiyuan was used as the main city of Xiangguo. De Palace, Zhengwen Hall, Chan Yuting, Chan Yu Terrace, East Hall, West Pavilion, Houliu Palace, Baichi Tower, Chongxun Palace, Sheji Altar, Ancestral Temple, Hu Ke Office, and Ice Storage Room.

Later, he was burned by Ran Min and the palace was destroyed, but the city wall was preserved.

The remnants of the army were mainly concentrated on the east and west city walls, and the towering city walls were almost dyed red.

As far as Li Yue could see, the battlements were covered with corpses.

The soldiers of Heiyun fought hard, and the remnants of the Yan army retreated step by step, but they resisted to the end and refused to surrender.

The Yan State was able to sweep across the Northern Territory, so it naturally had its own merits.

And Murong Ke came faster than expected.

It took almost two hours for the army outside the city to enter the city. The sound of horse hooves outside the city was like thunder, from far to near, and the ground shook.

In the imperial city, the remnants of the army let out bursts of cheers, like a drowning man seeing a floating straw.

The morale of the remaining troops on the city wall was also greatly boosted, and they actually launched a counterattack, but they were still suppressed by the black cloud soldiers.

A sneer curled up at the corner of Li Yue's mouth. They were turtles in a urn, but they were also bait to lure Murong Ke into the city!Although the fighting has not stopped, the situation in the city is under his control.

The sound of horse hooves became more and more urgent and loud, and the sound was as loud as thunder and rain.

The backbone and forward soldiers jumped up from the ground. Although they did not rest for long, their faces were full of excitement. The experienced soldiers stuffed dry food into their mouths and drank water.

If Murong Ke could come so quickly, he must have traveled twice as hard. How much fighting power would he still have after running wildly?

Xiangguo City was a trap carefully prepared by Li Yue for Murong Ke, just waiting for him to fall into the trap!
Soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape. Those who win due to changes in the enemy are called gods!
Whether it is besieging a city and raising reinforcements, or extracting chestnuts from the fire, there are ever-changing situations, and the chance of victory or defeat lies in the man who uses the troops.

Li Yue stared at the city gate. At this moment, he was not afraid of Murong Ke's attack, but he was afraid that he would not come.

But the sound of horse hooves suddenly died down, and the outside of the city gradually fell into silence, with only the whistling of the wind.

This silence also affected the remaining troops who were still fighting on the city wall. They looked to the north in confusion.

In the inner city, the gray-haired Murong Jun was also looking to the north.

It seems that everyone is looking forward to Murong Ke entering the city...
