Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 443
It was quiet in front of the North City Gate, and the fire in the city was gradually extinguished.

The stubborn resistance at the top of the city was gradually eliminated, and corpses were thrown off the city wall, rising higher and higher on the ground.

The dead soldiers of the vanguard army and the soldiers of the backbone army were eager to wait for Murong Ke's cavalry to enter the city.

However, the Yan army cavalry was never seen.

"Murong Ke deserves to be a famous general in the world, and he can actually spy on our army's ambush." ​​Li Yue shook his head, it was too difficult to trick Murong Ke.

But from another perspective, the setting of the urn is not very clever. There are too many imperfect details. The biggest flaw is that all the city gates should not be opened.

Although Murong Ke was only in his thirties, he entered the battlefield at the age of 15 and had been fighting for seventeen or eight years.

Excellent generals usually have hunter-like intuition.

"If the Yan army cannot enter, why not mobilize the Qiaoqi army to besiege Murong Ke?" Liu Ying said in a low voice.

"It was too late. We mobilized troops from the camp outside the south city. We mobilized the soldiers back and forth. At least for an hour, Murong Ke finished resting and was waiting for work. Instead, it gave him a chance."

Facing an opponent like Murong Ke, Li Yue had to consider all aspects and not give him any opportunity.

"So……"

"Since our army has captured the city wall and is in an invincible position, there is no need to take risks. We ordered the four gates to be closed tightly and the soldiers took turns to rest. Since Murong Ke did not leave, it means that he still wants to fight, so we should not take it lightly."

As soon as the order was issued, the soldiers in the city, who were ready for a fight, began to feel sorry for themselves.

Li Yue led his guards up to the North Tower. On the snow-dotted plain, more than ten thousand Yanqi spread out like a dark blue jade belt.

Under the flags rolled, there were more than a thousand armored cavalry surrounded by several Yan generals. Each war horse had a long white feather on its face. The chest, body armor, and back were all made of iron armor. The men and horses only showed a pair of murderous auras. Soaring eyes.

After standing in the cold wind for a long time, there was no confusion, which was very different from ordinary prairie cavalry.

The army under Murong Ke was the core combat force of the Yan State. It had strong soldiers and horses, each with two horses, well-equipped and high morale.

If the Black Cloud Army had not captured Xiang State first, it would have been a hard and bloody battle with this cavalry...

However, now that they have invaded Xiangguo City, the Black Cloud Army has taken the lead.

The passive one is Murong Ke.

"Report, the Yan army's infantry is still forty miles away!"

"Report, the Yan army's infantry is twenty miles away from Xiangguo!"

Scouts came one after another to report.

Li Yue had some free time and stared at Yan Jun calmly. In such a situation, he was very curious about Murong Ke's decision.

If you choose to fight this city decisively, the essence and blood of Yan State will be drained.

Retreating is just a slow death.

The offensive and defensive momentum has changed. Without Xiang Guo's suppression of Yecheng, Yan State would be in a passive position.

After waiting for nearly two hours, the sky gradually darkened, and this bloody day was about to come to an end.

However, on the dull and vast northern land, a thin line gradually emerged, and then the western line turned into a tide, slowly surging.

The clanging of armor and heavy footsteps came overwhelmingly.

At the same time, the remaining troops in the inner city cheered when they discovered that reinforcements had arrived.

This cheer reminded Li Yue, "Send orders to Xu Cheng to deal with Murong's army in the inner city first, otherwise Murong Ke will attack the city and they will cooperate inside and outside, doubling the pressure on our army."

"Take your orders!" The three messengers rushed towards Nancheng.

Not long after, the inner city burst into flames.From all directions, bursts of rockets shot into the inner city like meteor showers, and occasionally the sound of exploding kerosene tanks was heard, driving away the deepening twilight.

It also lit up the outside of the city.

The Yan army became restless, and the horses took small steps on the spot, prancing back and forth. Perhaps they were afraid of the flames, or perhaps they were agitated by the murderous spirit.

Li Yue's move was also to inspire Rong Ke to attack the city.

The Yan army came in a hurry, without any equipment, and could only fill the city with flesh and blood!

But if he did not attack the city, the Black Cloud Army would swallow up Murong's Army in such a grand manner, shocking the courage of the Yan Army and suppressing the morale of the Yan Army.

In this big game of chess, whoever is one step behind will be controlled by others everywhere!
The infantry from the north has rushed to the city.

Countless pairs of eyes looked up at the "Liang" character teeth on the tower.

In order to let them see clearly, Li Yue specially lit a fire.
"Please Murong Xuan Gong enter the urn!" A row of personal guards stood behind the battlements and shouted in unison.

Fierce flames soared into the sky, lengthening Li Yue's back, as if they were about to cover the entire Xiangguo City.

There was a commotion below the city. More than a hundred horsemen could not hold their breath and rushed over. However, they were immediately shot into hedgehogs by the heavy crossbows on the city and fell in a pool of blood. Three of the horsemen were nailed to the ground by short spear-like stilt arrows. He fell down and kept running, but both the man and the horse were dead.

Li Yue thought he could bear it before, but now it seems that Murong Ke can bear it even more.

Standing solemnly at the foot of the city, never moving.

If he didn't move, Murong's troops in the city would lose their chance of life.

All kinds of siege equipment concentrated the attack, and the inner city could not be defended. The Yan army in the city did not leave a single person alive. Murong Jun himself, who was running out of fuel and lamps, was beheaded by Dou Feng and sent to Li Yue.

"Long live! Long live! Long live!" Cheers echoed from the city walls.

The attack on Xiang State was not only a shock to the Yi Di, but also boosted the morale of the Black Cloud Army.

Ran Min fell down here, and the Black Cloud Army stood up here, returning to its homeland with a stronger figure!
At this moment, China, which had been in decline for nearly 60 years since the Eight Kings Rebellion, returned to the eyes of Yi Di.

Even Li Yue did not expect that the impact of conquering Xiang State would be so huge.

Many years ago, Ran Weijun would burst into tears, take off his pocket and throw it into the night sky.

How many of their brothers and clansmen were there among the [-] Ran Wei army that was destroyed four years ago?
Maybe Li Yue doesn't remember, but they will not forget it, and neither will the Yecheng elders.

Many of the Heiyun troops fled the chaos from the north and went south. They were in the same spirit as the old soldiers of Ran and Wei, and their hatred for Yi and Di was as deep as the sea.

Just like when the Chu and Han Dynasties fought, Xiang Yu killed the Qin army and reduced 20 soldiers. From then on, the elders of the Three Qin Dynasty fought against the Chu army and transformed into the Han army. They suffered repeated defeats and fought repeatedly, and finally made Xiang Yu commit suicide in Wujiang River.

No matter how Sinicized the Murong family was, or how they pretended to be like a Chinese dynasty, they could never wash away their Yi-Di blood.

Fires were lit on the four walls of the city, and the soldiers surrounded the fires and kept shouting and shouting, even if their voices became hoarse, they did not stop.

All night long the city walls were filled with the sound of laughter.

Li Yue also waited all night, but Murong Ke never attacked the city.

As soon as it got dark, I discovered that the Yan army had set up a camp overnight four or five miles behind.

The infantry cut down the trees and piled a triple pile of antlers in front of the camp.

"Murong Ke is no longer able to attack Xiangguo, why is he still blocking here?" Liu Ying asked doubtfully.

Li Yue said: "The battle of Xiangguo is over, but the battle of Shangdang is not. He blocked here to prevent our army from rushing to the Bingzhou battlefield from Fukouxing."

Fukou is located in the east of Xiangguo, across the Taihang Mountains, and appears just behind Murong Chui.
