Great Han Empire

Chapter 64 Yanzhao Fengyun
The soldiers of the Han army immediately realized that the sound of yelling and yelling immediately filled the entire tower.Before they could sprinkle water to extinguish the fire, [-] soldiers organized by Yuwendong had lined up and walked into range, aiming at the city gate tower and firing salvos round after round.The dense long arrows were running back and forth on the tower, and the soldiers of the Han army who were about to fight the fire shot down a large area.Many people who helped defend the city also died on the tower with earthen basins filled with water.

Liu Yu heard the commotion of people outside, and signaled a few guards to go out to see if the enemy had started attacking the gate tower again.

The guard walking in the front quickly opened the door, and he saw the sky full of arrows.Before he could shout out, more than a dozen long arrows roared and shot into his body.The guard let out a terrified roar, and was immediately taken back a few steps by the huge inertial force of the long arrow, falling on his back.At the same time, countless long arrows, like iron nails, made a dull and powerful sound, nailing hard on the stone floor of the city wall, on the roof of the city tower, on the pillars, on the windows, on the door leaves, and smashed into the house. On the ground near the door, it bounced up and scattered in all directions.It was as if hailstones were falling on the entire city gate tower, and there was a deafening roar.

The remaining guards had sharp eyes and quick hands, and rushed to Liu Yu one by one, erecting a human wall in front of him.

The soldiers of the Han army knew that letting the fire burn would definitely hurt the city gate.After the initial panic, they immediately calmed down.Under the cover of the shield soldiers, some soldiers continued to carry water to the city wall, and then the city guards lying on the side of the city wall threw down the water and pots together.

Yu Wendong led a group of strong bow archers to shoot burning rockets into the door opening from time to time.Numerous rockets were nailed to the solid and thick city gate, continuing to burn.

"My lord, there are not enough arrows." Before half an hour, the stock of long arrows in Yuwendong has basically been exhausted.

Yu Wendong shook his head helplessly, and ordered loudly: "Light up the crash car."

A hundred soldiers, led by Yuwendong, began to push carts, speed up, and run.This is the 11th time they hit the gate of Yuyang City.

"Brothers, work hard, come on, kill..." Yu Wendong raised his head and shouted loudly.

Archers shoot long arrows significantly faster.The Shieldmen cheered loudly, cheering on their comrades.

Yu Wendong looked at the city gate that was blazing into the sky, looked at the city gate that had started to smoke everywhere, and suddenly a huge hatred that could not be contained rose from the bottom of his heart.It was this gate that mercilessly devoured the lives of four to five hundred warriors of the Sui tribe today.His face contorted violently with anger.He gritted his teeth, wishing he could burn it, destroy it, knock it away.

"Huho..." Yuwendong shouted with all his strength.

"Huho..." The blood of the soldiers running at high speed was boiling, and they roared with their leader.

"Huho..." All the Xianbei soldiers downstairs of the city gate were excited and roared.

The crashing car reached the limit speed. Surrounded by a hundred men, with a thunderous and invincible aura, it made a huge roar and rushed into the fire with unprecedented strength, crashing into the ground that was already covered by thick smoke. the city gate.

"Boom..." There was a loud noise.

The tower is shaking, the earth is trembling.

The thick smoke in the gatehouse was suddenly blown away by a gust of wind, scattered and drifted away, the raging fire in the gatehouse, the soaring flames swayed and danced violently in the gust of wind.

Yu Wendong and his soldiers suddenly opened their eyes wide, looking at the city gate in disbelief.Miraculously, the city gate was knocked open a hole, a huge hole.

Yuwendong and the soldiers were dumbfounded and couldn't believe their eyes.Then they let out a loud cheer, and ran up, roaring all the way, no longer caring about the arrows shot down from the tower and the stones thrown down.They braved the scorching heat, stepped on the still burning wood, rushed through the flames, and got into the gap in the city gate that was smashed through.

The city gate was broken, and Yuyang City was unintentionally opened a gap, a fatal gap.

Behind the city gate, the Han army used earth bags to build two barrier walls one person high.The purpose is also to prevent that once the city is broken, it can hinder the charge of the enemy's cavalry and slow down the enemy's attack speed.The main street under the city wall is full of weapons, stones and other tools for defending the city.

Some wounded soldiers and a large number of civilians who were busy on this street uttered a frightening cry of terror as if they had seen a devil.

Xianbei soldiers began to file into Yuyang City through the big hole, and then climbed over the roadblock composed of two obstacles.Soldiers of the Han army began to shoot at the Hu people nearby, some people scattered and fled, and more people chose to take up arms and join in the battle against the invaders.

Yu Wendong raised his sword and fell, beheading a Han soldier with a sword. Then he swung his sword and slammed several long arrows away to cover his subordinates over obstacles.In a blink of an eye, twenty or thirty wolf-like enemy soldiers had rushed out of the barricade and formed a defensive formation.The swarms of Han soldiers and the people of Yuyang City with weapons immediately launched an attack on them.

Liu Yu was shocked when he heard the news, and immediately ordered the drums to be beat to call the police, and at the same time sent people to ask the defenders on the east and west walls to extend their lines of defense to the gate towers.

Liu Yu led fifty soldiers down the tower at the fastest speed.

The bow and arrow troops of the Sui tribe under the city immediately followed up quickly, and some of them stopped thirty steps away from the tower, and continued to shoot at the tower, suppressing the counterattack of the Han soldiers.Under the cover of shield soldiers, some of them approached the city gate and quickly entered the city through the gap.At the same time, the horn player blew the horn to successfully break through.The horn news was passed on one by one by the horn players one after another.In the dark night, high-spirited and cheerful horns sounded everywhere for a while.

A smile finally appeared on Murong Ji's gloomy face.He happily shouted to the messenger: "Order the troops to take down the western city wall before dawn."

Under the command of the loud charging horn, the Xianbei people's morale was suddenly boosted, and the momentum of the attack rose again.When the soldiers heard the news that the city gate had been breached, they all became excited. They roared and waved the weapons in their hands to their heart's content. go.

Liu Yu took the lead and rushed to the front of the team.He held up the battle flag of the Han Kingdom, held the sword in his hand, and kept shouting: "Follow me to kill the enemy...for the Han Kingdom, for your homeland, for your relatives, kill..."

The people who were fleeing could not help but stop when they saw that their lord governor was facing the enemy without fear.They were shocked by the battle flag of the Han Dynasty, inspired by Liu Yu's momentum, and moved by Liu Yu's loud voice.They turned and followed behind him, the fear in their hearts dissipated with the shouts of killing like a raging tide.

The soldiers of Yuwendong gathered more and more around the gate of the city.More than a dozen soldiers are trying to move the earth bags near the hole in the city gate to make room for more soldiers to come in.

On the back of the three-foot-high city gate, there are fifteen thick bolts inserted horizontally from top to bottom. Without a climbing ladder, there is no way to remove the thick and heavy bolts, and there is no possibility of opening the city gate in a hurry.The place that was smashed by the huge impact was estimated to have been damaged by dozens of repeated collisions that day, and was later burned by fire, and finally became fragile and was hit by the final blow of the car that hit the city. break in.

The centurion captain who was walking beside Liu Yu let out a roar and led the soldiers to run. Filled with rage, they slashed at the enemy who was slaughtering lives at the gate of the city without hesitation.

The people picked up all kinds of weapons on the ground, and ran after them with hatred for the invaders.

Yu Wendong tried his best to kill an enemy soldier, and when he looked up and saw a group of people rushing towards him, the joy in his heart suddenly disappeared.

The soldiers of the Han army rushed forward, and there was no need to worry about life and death at this time.To die in battle is to die, and to capture a city is also to die.Everyone let go of their hands and feet, staring at a pair of blood-red eyes, completely ignoring the weapons that were cut on their bodies, and all they wanted to do was to kill people, to kill Xianbei people.

Two soldiers surrounded an enemy.The Han soldiers who faced the enemy head-on did not resist at all, allowing the saber to penetrate the body, and at the same time, his own saber slashed on the enemy's waist and ribs amidst the roar.Another soldier gritted his teeth, swung his saber round and cut off the enemy's head.Ordinary people who have not been trained often pay the price of several people when they kill an enemy.But no one flinched. The relatives and neighbors in front fell into a pool of blood, and the people who followed behind roared frantically, and rushed forward one after another.They don't know how to use weapons, so they hug with their hands, bite with their teeth, and use their flesh and blood to resist the enemy's steel weapons.

On the bloody battlefield, there is only the murderous aura that shakes the sky, only the soldiers who sacrifice their lives, without fear, without crying, and without flinching.

In the narrow space at the gate of the city, thousands of people were densely packed, and everyone's anger and hatred were unleashed and erupted without limit.

Liu Yu was squeezed to the base of the city wall by the turbulent flow of people, and no one noticed his existence.Even the few guards who had been following him gave up protecting him and killed him at the forefront of the battlefield.He stared dumbfounded at the irrational crowd, and sadly watched one pair after another of brothers, father and son died under the enemy's butcher's knife, and ordinary kind-hearted people fell to the ground one after another.His tears flowed down uncontrollably.

The common people, these respectable and lovely ordinary people, when they were most needed in the Han Kingdom, everyone stood up without hesitation, and gave their blood and lives without complaint or regret.Suddenly, Liu Yu felt that he was really a fatuous and incompetent person.In the past year since he came to Youzhou, what has he done for these hardworking and kind people?The people are still poor, and the scourge of war is still endless. Even in the winter that just passed, thousands of people starved to death and froze to death in the ice and snow.

The young handsome under Yu Wendong must be very regretful now, his idea of ​​burning the city gate has already brought himself to the brink of death.He is now trapped in the crowd at the gate of the city.

He swung his saber vigorously, intending to cut a bloody path and join the rest of his companions.He had already heard Yu Wendong calling him, the voice was getting closer and closer, it seemed that Yu Wendong was coming to meet him.
