Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 511: Assassination

Three bursts of arrow rain in succession took away the lives of more than two hundred defenders. However, the defenders have also adapted to the Xiliang Army's siege method. As long as they set up their shields and resist the flying arrows, they will However, the archers were able to counterattack while taking advantage of the gap, and the two sides fought back and forth, enjoying themselves.

Accompanied by the sound of rumbling war drums, countless soldiers ran towards the city wall on the ladder. They were racing against time. Before the defenders could react, they put the ladder on the city wall, and their mission was completed. , Slow down for a second, and they may be greeted by deadly arrows.

In order not to slow down the speed, many soldiers went into battle lightly, carrying ladders and running, which was a great test of physical strength.

Dong Yue pulled out the saber from his waist and ordered: "Kill!"

Some soldiers didn't react from the combat mode just now. After seeing the movements of the surrounding soldiers and looking down the city, they hurriedly drew their bows and arrows, and shot arrow after arrow at the densely packed soldiers under the city.

Li Ru is a military adviser, but not a general, and he is not proficient in training soldiers. All these things are in charge of the generals in the army, and the generals' abilities are also uneven. Even if Dong Yue has great determination to fight the Xiliang army, The strength of the soldiers under him cannot be improved by determination.

The huge wooden boulders were thrown down the city recklessly. Many of the defenders on the city were newcomers. It was their first time on the battlefield and they lacked the training of war. Trust, only a small number of people were appointed, and most of them were newly recruited soldiers.

A defender pulled up the bowstring with a trembling wrist. Just halfway through the draw, an arrow flew out of his hand because of excitement. The sparse arrows did not have any impact on the morale of the Xiliang army.

A series of ladders were erected on the city wall, and soldiers in armor climbed up the city rapidly along the ladders, holding shields in their right hands. [

"Fire oil!" Dong Yue ordered calmly.

An altar of kerosene was poured down the city, and the siege soldiers saw that there was no effect, so they crawled up the city screaming.

"Rocket!"

When the kerosene met the rocket, a raging flame was instantly ignited. Under the burning of the fire, the soldiers wrapped in armor wailed in pain. They were warriors, fearless of death, but death by the fire was unbearable.

The ignited flames did not cause any damage to the iron-covered ladder, but the tragic situation of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army shocked the defenders, and the wailing of the enemy was like the sound of nature in their ears. Throw the giant boulder down the city.

It wasn't until Dong Yue gave the order to stop that such extravagance stopped.

After this battle, the trained soldiers have some experience in defending the city. They only need to guard the city firmly to prevent the opponent's cold arrows and prevent the enemy from climbing the wall. Time-killing existence.

Originally, he wanted to let the defenders in the city see how powerful the Xiliang army was when the army first arrived, but he didn't expect Dong Yue's methods to be so sharp and vicious that he even used kerosene to burn the soldiers.

Nearly [-] soldiers were lost, and Huang Zhong didn't even climb the city wall. Huang Zhong's face was a little ugly, "Dong Yue is vicious, I wonder if you have a good strategy for attacking the city?"

"General, Dong Yue is only relying on the advantage of the city, and the Thunderbolt Chariot and the Ballista can greatly suppress the defenders. It is expected that there is a lot of food and grass in the city, and the army will besieged. It will not take long. When the food in the city is exhausted, our army You can capture Dai County." Guo Jia said: "And other counties and counties in Bing Prefecture will lead soldiers to rescue after hearing the news of the siege here, and our cavalry can..."

Huang Zhong shook his head slightly: "General Lu's [-] vanguard army was able to capture Gaonu in Fu County without bloodshed, let alone an army of [-] people?"

"General, Dong Yue is strict in running the army. The defenders were a little flustered at first, but under his dispatch, they quickly launched a counterattack. Don't underestimate the enemy." Guo Jia advised.

There are many cavalry in the Xiliang Army, and the most experienced are field battles, not siege battles. When the cavalry shoots arrows, it will not have any good effect on the defenders in the city, and the cavalry will lose their deterrent power. The city wall, and the war of attrition, although effective for a long time, can reduce the loss of soldiers.

Dong Yue led the soldiers to guard the city, and the soldiers grew rapidly during the repeated battles, but as Guo Jia said, there was not much food and supplies in the city, and the Xiliang army suddenly launched an attack, Li Ru did not do everything right. The Xiliang army has already approached the city. Now that the war is going on, it is more difficult to support food and grass. The cavalry of the Xiliang army wandering on the battlefield, like the cavalry of Bingzhou, how can they be against the enemy? However, for a sneak attack, let alone a food transport team, even if a large army came, the Xiliang army would dare to eat it.

The county city could not be breached for a day, and Huang Zhong became more and more anxious. He had no choice but to delay it for a while, that is, the military achievements were flowing outward. He was the commander of the first army, which was of great significance. If I go back and talk about it, I will lose face. [

"General, in the siege battle, the low-level soldiers are fighting with their lives. Don't ignore tens of thousands of soldiers just because of one person's fame." Guo Jiayu said earnestly. From Huang Zhong's performance recently, he vaguely guessed It came to Huang Zhong's idea.

"The words of the military advisor are true, but I was too eager for quick success and ignored these, thanks to the reminder from the military advisor." Huang Zhong thought for a while, and bowed to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia hurriedly got up, helped Huang Zhong up and said, "General Huang doesn't have to do this, you are also for the sake of the lord." He didn't expect that Huang Zhong, a dignified general, would salute and apologize to the military adviser.

"Military commander, don't worry, the tens of thousands of soldiers in the army are all the painstaking efforts of the general. This general will never use their lives to pave the way for himself."

With Huang Zhong's promise, Guo Jia also felt relieved a lot. Huang Zhong is a general who has been promoted not long ago. He must want to make some achievements to seal the mouth of Youyou, ignoring the low-level soldiers, and the time to cooperate with Huang Zhong is short To be short, Guo Jia knew Huang Zhong's character, so he had today's conversation.

Late at night, in the big tent of the Chinese army, thinking of the battle, Huang Zhong couldn't fall asleep, and suddenly he thought of Zhang Xiu, the skill of the lone wolf soldier, one is not the strongest among the soldiers, especially for sneak attacking the city at night, it is definitely a sharp weapon However, if the army in the city is negligent in guarding against it, it will not be a problem to break through the county in one fell swoop.

"As the commander-in-chief of the army, General Huang seems anxious?"

Hearing this, Huang Zhong's expression changed drastically, he pulled out his sword from his waist, and shouted sharply: "Who actually broke into the camp of the Chinese army?"

A person flashed out of the darkness, with a sword hanging from his waist, and his footsteps were light and light, giving people a feeling that he might fly up at any time. It was Wang Yue who was appointed as the assassination commander.

"It's you?" Huang Zhong questioned, he was the commander of the first army, but Wang Yue was not in the army, the two had no connection.

Wang Yue laughed and said, "Old General Huang, can't Wang be able to come? Looking around the world, there is no place that I, Wang Yue, can't go to."

These words were extremely arrogant, Huang Zhong just snorted coldly and did not refute, he is the commander on the battlefield, there is no need to show off his tongue with a martial arts master.

"General Huang doesn't want to take Dai County, and wait until Zhao Yun or the Lord's army arrives, it will not look good."

Huang Zhong looked at Wang Yue with puzzled eyes, "What does Mr. Wang mean?" He only knew that Wang Yue was working under Jia Rong, but he didn't know what position he held.

"Dong Yue in the county is nothing to worry about. Wang is willing to take action to solve it. What does General Huang think?" Wang Yue laughed.

Huang Zhong snorted coldly and said: "On the basis of empty words, Mr. Wang is very powerful, but there are thousands of defenders in the city. It is so difficult to kill Dong Yue." If Zhang Xiu came to say such words late at night However, Huang Zhong would still believe in three points. If it were Wang Yue, his credibility would plummet.

Wang Yue showed displeasure on his face. Anyone who is underestimated will not feel good, let alone Wang Yue, who is in charge of assassination, thinks that the soldiers in his hands are not weaker than lone wolves. At that time, General Huang will lead the army into the city."

After finishing speaking, Wang Yue turned and left the Chinese army tent.

Huang Zhong looked at the back of Wang Yue's leaving, and he couldn't help showing a trace of expectation on his face. Those who dare to speak big usually have some material. Wang Yue dared to break into Helan Mountain alone. Fa, absolutely not self-deprecated to come to the Chinese military tent to say such a thing.

"Ding ding ding" a few soft sounds, several men in black followed the ropes nailed to the city, like nimble monkeys, their bodies rose rapidly.

As soon as he boarded the city wall, the men in black looked around warily. The soldiers guarding the city were patrolling not far away, and they didn't notice the situation here. Flying into the air, when he was about to fall, he kicked against the city wall a few times in a row, and his body rose again. Three times in a row, he had climbed the city wall. This kind of skill, in the world, few people can do.

After Wang Yue climbed up the city wall, more men in black climbed up the city wall. After a while, 60 people gathered on the city wall. Under the cover of night, they did not patrol for a while. soldiers found.

"Action!" Wang Yue let out a low cry, and the sixty men in black divided into three groups and scattered towards the city. Wang Yue went straight to the city with light steps, but after a while, he disappeared.

Just a moment after the man in black left, patrolling soldiers came here, looked around, and seeing that nothing was wrong, they shook their heads and went to the next place.

Wang Yue lay in ambush in the dark, quietly waiting for the opportunity.

About half an hour later, the western part of the city, the eastern part of the city, and the southern part of the city suddenly boiled, and fires were ignited in three places. After the patrolling soldiers found out the situation, they immediately rang the gong in their hands, and the sound of clanging was endless.

"General, it's not good, the west of the city and the east and south of the city are on fire, and the fire is raging." The guard outside the tent broke into Dong Yue's tent and said anxiously.
