Great Han Empire

Chapter 63 Yanzhao Fengyun
"Brothers, go..." Yu Wendong kicked away a shield soldier blocking his way, and suddenly roared loudly.

The wildness of the soldiers had already been aroused by the majestic crashing vehicles. Amidst the shouts of Yuwendong, they pushed aside the shield soldiers blocking their surroundings one after another, no longer caring about the long arrows flying randomly in the air, and shouted , exhausted all his strength, pushed the huge city crash cart, and rushed towards the two closed city gates without hesitation.

The fallen soldiers were either crushed in half by the spinning wheels, or trampled to death by their galloping companions.Everyone's emotions went crazy with the howling truck crashing into the city.They roared and ran, seeing nothing but the city gate.

The shield soldiers did not forget their mission, they stubbornly held their long shields high, and followed closely behind like flying.

The soldiers of the Han army on the city gate angrily shot long arrows one after another.They know that they are powerless to stop the enemy's impact, but they know that they must stick to it and must not take a step back.

The war drum on the gate tower was thumped violently, and the low and rapid sound of the war drum suddenly overwhelmed the sound of the enemy's horns, and suddenly sounded above Yuyang City.

"Boom..." An earth-shattering loud noise came from inside the city gate.

The soldiers on the battlefield felt that the ground was shaking and the city walls were trembling, as if the whole Yuyang City was shaking with the sound.

Liu Yu woke up from the bloody fight in front of him, and he raised his eyes to look at the gate tower in surprise.

A ray of sunset slowly sank to the horizon.The curtain of the night was slowly drawn up.

Outside Yuyang City, dozens of huge fires suddenly lit up.The fire illuminated Yuyang City in the night, highlighting the bloody battlefield in an incomparably terrifying and miserable way.

Liu Yu stood on the top of the city gate, looking at the fire in the dark night, and sighed helplessly.

Tian Kai sent someone to tell him that Xiong Ba's troops were attacking very fiercely in the east city. Although the enemy attacked intermittently, his own soldiers suffered heavy losses and could barely maintain the situation.He concluded that the reinforcements had reached the Baoqiu River, and if they attacked all the way forward, they should be able to reach Yuyang City tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

The prefect He Yi sent food and weapons from the city.He stood beside Liu Yu, silently looking at the army of Xianbei people in the distance.

"My lord, do you think Captain Tian's words are credible?"

"Last year in Lulongsai, a small military marshal predicted this war." Liu Yu didn't answer He Yi's question, but told him something else.

"Time, place, tactics, force, many aspects are basically the same as his original prediction. He told me that we must win this war. If we win, at least four or five years of peace can be won .Using this time, Youzhou's economy can be restored and the lives of ordinary people can be better."

"What if we lose?" He Yi asked worriedly.

"The Xianbei people will occupy this land in a short period of time, plunder all the valuable things on this land, and turn them into ruins. With the current national strength of the Han Dynasty, even if these robbers are driven away in the future, but in the future In the short term, there is no ability to rebuild their homes on these ruins, let alone save thousands of lives that have already died. The people of the Great Han Kingdom, Youzhou, and Youzhou will all suffer a major blow. Therefore, this battle must be won." Liu Yu said firmly.

He Yi didn't speak.There is no chance of winning in sight at the moment.Ambition alone is not enough, strength is also required.But the reality is too cruel.

"If Mr. Tian's estimation is correct, only the reinforcements from Youbeiping County are most likely to come from the south of Baoqiu River. I hope he will not let me down." Liu Yu muttered to himself looking in the direction of Baoqiu River road.

The low and loud sound of horns suddenly pierced the darkness, and the enemy started to attack again.

Yu Sui led the last [-] soldiers of the reserve team and rushed towards the surging enemy.The gap must never be opened.Once the defensive front is opened, the consequence may be the collapse of the entire defensive front.Even if you use a corpse to block it, you have to block it.

Yu Sui did not care about himself, took the lead, brandished his sword and charged into the enemy group.What he met head-on was an enemy centurion with several long arrows in his body.Yu Suiren walked with the sword, snatched into the opponent's flank, and hacked the enemy to death with a single blow.Immediately afterwards, he fell into the fierce siege of the opponent's three soldiers.The soldiers around kept screaming and falling down.No one retreated, everyone was red-eyed, completely forgetting what life is.The enemy became even crazier. After paying a heavy price and returning without success several times, they managed to grab a piece of territory in the second half of the night. How could they give up so easily.

Before dying, a soldier slashed with all his might, cutting off one of the enemy's legs.The enemy with the broken leg was stabbed several times, but he found a backed one, and was pierced by a gun. He just cut off the hands of the gunman.The man's hands were chopped off, and under the excruciating pain, he screamed heart-piercingly, and he didn't even notice the saber piercing his chest.The two soldiers bumped into each other angrily, each stabbing their swords into each other's body.Before the big man who climbed up the ladder arrived, the long arrow had already been shot.A Han soldier who was fighting with the enemy nearby was pierced by a long arrow. The Han soldier didn't say a word, and exposed the empty door to let the enemy soldier slash him. Just when the blood was spraying, he made a sudden attack, and he took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to strike. , and then howled wildly, with the rest of his strength, he staggered and killed the enemy archer who had jumped into the city wall.The big man shoots another arrow.The Han soldiers were dripping with blood all over their bodies. They were pushed back again and again by the impact of the long arrows, and finally died of exhaustion.

Yu Sui had already killed six people, and he himself was stabbed several times.His body was bleeding too much, and his strength was rapidly failing.The surrounding soldiers and the wolf-like Xianbei people were still fighting.

On the city wall, people in all kinds of clothes and soldiers in armor mixed together, fighting bravely at various defensive points.Shouts, roars, clashes of weapons, drums, horns, all kinds of sounds intertwined and resounded through the night sky.

Yu Sui was stabbed again.He clearly heard the sound of his shoulder bone breaking, he saw a puddle of blood spurting out, and felt that the blood splashed on his face was still warm.He no longer had the strength to raise the knife, and he swayed, trying not to let himself fall.The enemy swung his round saber again, aiming at his neck and slashing at him.The saber suddenly lost its strength halfway, and although it hit Yu Sui's neck, it only drew a line of blood.The enemy looked at Yu Sui in disappointment, and slowly fell down, with a bloody saber stuck in his body.A Han soldier appeared in front of Yu Sui, he opened his mouth wide and shouted vigorously.Yu Sui couldn't hear, he didn't know what his subordinates were talking about, and his vision gradually became blurred.The soldier quickly killed one person, and with the help of two comrades approaching, he grabbed Yu Sui who fell to the ground.Yu Sui was out of breath.

The soldiers were dazzled by hatred, and one of them shouted loudly: "Kill..., revenge for Master Sima..."

The fierce battle has lost its rules, and everyone gathers together in groups of three or four, fighting to see who is more ruthless.No one tried to dodge any more. Whether it was the attacking side or the defending side, everyone had the will to die and the thought of dying with the enemy, just like a group of lunatics who lost their minds, tearing and biting each other.

Yu Wendong's voice was hoarse.Seven or eight of the vehicles that crashed into the city had been destroyed. Either the frame of the vehicle was knocked apart, or it was ignited by the rockets shot down by the soldiers of the Han army.Now Yuwendong is shouting, arranging for the soldiers to prepare another crash vehicle.

Today's attacks came one after another, but they didn't achieve the effect Murong Ji wanted to achieve.The Han army probably thought that their city gates were very strong, so they didn't pay much attention to the Xianbei people.Their main defensive force is still sticking to the city wall, and many people joined the city defense force, which invisibly increased the difficulty of the Xianbei people's attack.

Now on the city gate tower, besides Liu Yu who brought hundreds of archers to support, there are also hundreds of people helping to throw stones and splash hot water and boiling oil.Murong Ji was very angry and sent someone to scold Yu Wendong severely.He asked Yuwendong to increase the number of attackers, limiting him to make an effective attack before dawn, forcing the enemy to draw troops from the city wall to support.

"My lord, there are many people guarding the city gate. As soon as we approach, long arrows, stones, hot water and boiling oil will pour down. In such a narrow space, it is difficult for us to escape the enemy's attack , The loss is too serious." A handsome young man under Yuwendong said loudly.

"Then what do you say?" Yu Wendong asked angrily.

"The enemy poured a lot of boiling oil down the city, did you see that?" said the man, pointing to the city gate in the distance.

Yu Wendong nodded.

"Several of our crash vehicles were destroyed in the gate, and now they are covered with oil poured from the city by the Han. As long as we get close to the gate and shoot rockets into it with a strong bow, it will definitely ignite the fire. Burn it In two hours, no matter if its city gate is made of wood or covered with iron nails, it will be completely burned."

Yu Wendong looked at him with admiring eyes, shook his head and said, "The Han people are not fools, they wouldn't send people to pour water from the city to put out the fire."

"We suppressed them with dense long arrows for half an hour. In half an hour, the wood under the city gate had already been burned into a big fire. Even if it is to be extinguished, it will take a while. At this time, we will ignite our own ramming vehicles , hit it and burn it to see how long it lasts."

Yu Wendong sighed.His own soldiers were too injured, and he was heartbroken.But let them act recklessly again and again, and they will inevitably die.Although this method is not a good one, at least the scene is better, and the soldiers should not rush to the city to take risks for the time being.As long as it can reduce casualties, it is a good thing.Murong Ji himself was not capable of breaking through the city wall, but he poured out his bird breath on us, it was simply too deceitful.

The rocket flew out, drawing beautiful circular arcs in the night sky, and then landed on the messy battlefield below the city gate.

The crashing car abandoned in the city gate was immediately ignited, and the fire grew bigger and bigger, and then burned blazingly.
