Chapter 546 Assault on Sirius City

"Boom!~"

Thunder bursts resounded outside Sirius City, instantly waking up the defenders who were dozing off on the sentry post.

"Strange, why is there still thunder in the heavy snow?" The defender looked up to the north in a daze, and his sleepy head suddenly woke up, "Enemy, enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The surrounding defenders came back to their senses one after another, and when they saw the dark figure on the opposite side, they broke out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, alarm bells rang out at the top of the city, and the originally silent city suddenly came alive.Numerous defenders rushed out of the barracks and rushed to the top of the city to defend against the enemy.

A troop of Hengshan cavalry roared forward and rushed straight to the north gate.Seeing this, the defenders on the city immediately understood, and immediately shot with bows and arrows, trying to block the hundreds of cavalry from outside the city gate.

It's a pity that this cavalry team was dressed in heavy armor and wrapped in a layer of cotton clothes.However, the arrows shot from the city couldn't be aimed at all in the snowy weather, and many arrows were even blown apart by the strong wind.

"Quick, quick, prepare the explosives, they want to bomb the city gate!"

"The north gate is quickly blocked with stones, and they must not be allowed to come in!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Not far from the city gate, the explosives thrown from the city exploded.Some cavalrymen who couldn't escape were killed and injured immediately, and other lucky cavalrymen continued to run towards the gate of the city at great risk.

But the enemy's gunpowder was thrown down in an endless stream, and a thick black smoke rose from the gate of the city, making it impossible for people to approach.

Seeing this, Luo Feng couldn't help but let out a long sigh, it seems that this city gate can't be taken down.

After the flag team on standby returned, Luo Feng ordered all the troops to come out and dismounted to fight on foot.

As for the two southwest gates, after Xu Yaozu failed to steal the city gates, he had to order a strong attack to attract the defenders.

At this moment, Fan Qi, who was in charge of guarding Sirius City, rushed to the north gate, looked at the enemy army below the city, his face changed drastically, "How did they pass through our army to investigate and arrive at Sirius City? Could it be? "

Fan Qi raised his head and looked to the north, "So that's how it is. They went around to Beimo and then went south again. No wonder no one noticed anything unusual."

"General Datta, how is the battle going?" Fan Qi hurriedly stepped forward to ask when he saw the main defender coming.

"It's okay. The enemy rushed to attack and failed to take down the city gate. Now they have to attack head-on. Our army has the upper hand, so we should be able to hold the capital." Datta replied confidently.

Only then did Fan Qi heave a sigh of relief, "That's good, but the capital is trapped, and I can't just sit and wait. General Datta, you can send a messenger to break through the enemy's siege, and convey our situation to His Majesty, asking for reinforcements. I don't know What does General Datta want?"

"Lord Fan is staying behind in the capital, so the general will obey orders." Data chuckled, "However, the general has a strategy, I don't know if it should be said or not."

"Oh, what clever plan does General Data have, but it's okay to say." Fan Qida looked at him in surprise, and couldn't help being very curious, and didn't know what clever plan he could come up with.

"That's it, why don't we contact the garrisons from all over the country and come together to encircle and suppress this enemy army?" Datta's eyes showed a fanatical fighting spirit, "The general sees that the enemy army under the city is only about [-], and our army only needs to gather tens of thousands Soldiers and horses, you can fight them."

Fan Qi immediately understood that this time His Majesty personally conquered Hengshan, but left him in Sirius City.It must be that he was unwilling to do so, and wanted to make great contributions in this battle and let His Majesty know his ability.

Fan Qi didn't object to this, but he just contacted the garrisons from various places, and the risks involved made him a little uncertain. "General Datta, the enemy army is strong, are you sure?"

"Hehe, don't worry, Mr. Fan, there are still [-] cavalry in the city. We only need to mobilize [-] cavalry stationed on the border of Mingzhou, and then recruit a group of young and strong cavalry from scattered tribes, which is enough to make up [-] cavalry. Our army With [-] cavalry in hand, how can you not be the opponent of [-] Hengshan cavalry?"

"This?" Fan Qi's heart was quite moved. If he could annihilate this cavalry, he would also get some credit.What's more, His Majesty's army of 40 is now confronting Hengshan, and it is absolutely inappropriate to let the army return without success because of this matter.Since he has the strength to wipe out the enemy army, there is no need to send troops from the Western Expedition to help.As long as the capital is well guarded, the enemy will have nothing to do.

"General Datta, since there are no worries in Sirius City, then this strategy is feasible." Fan Qi hesitated for a moment, and immediately decided, "Then act according to your plan, and quickly send messengers to call reinforcements from all over the place."

Datta was overjoyed when he heard the words, he didn't expect that his own idea would be approved by Mr. Fan, he immediately clasped his fists impromptuly, and went to arrange the arrangement.

Fan Qi tugged at his beard, squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the Hengshan army below the city, and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Hehe, then don't blame me, and treat him in the same way."

After retreating from the city, Fan Qi immediately wrote a letter and sent his confidants to bring this letter to His Majesty.

Soon, the messenger came out from the east gate, then turned south, then turned back and sneaked west.It's not that the Hengshan army was careless, but on purpose.Only by letting those messengers bring the news to this city, can reinforcements from all walks of life come rushing in, and Luo Feng can annihilate them one by one.

Time flies, ten days have passed since the Hengshan Army besieged Sirius City, and there is still no sign of Sirius City being broken.After the Hengshan Army failed in their strong attack a few days ago, they immediately changed their strategy and focused on siege.[-] cavalry surrounded Sirius City, and [-] cavalry attacked decisively, attacking tribes and small towns within a hundred miles to gather food and supplies for the army.

Half a month later, with reinforcements coming from all walks of life, the Hengshan Army only left [-] cavalry to monitor Tianlang City, and the rest of the soldiers and horses quickly attacked and defeated several reinforcements in one fell swoop.

Seeing that there were only [-] enemy troops outside the city, Tianlang City immediately attacked with the whole army, intending to defeat the enemy troops outside the city.It's a pity that Xu Yaozu, who was in charge of staying behind, did not fight hard with him. If the enemy advances, we will retreat.The Donghu people wanted to defend the city, but they didn't dare to pursue too far, so they had to retreat into the city again.On the contrary, the [-] Eastern Hu cavalry suffered heavy losses after fighting alone with the Hengshan Army, knowing that they were defeated by the Hengshan Army, they had no choice but to return to the city to recuperate.

With the defeat of reinforcements from all walks of life, the troops in the heartland of Donghu became even more empty. Twenty thousand Hengshan cavalry rampaged freely, burning, killing and looting everywhere, and all clan tents and cities were turned into sea of ​​flames.Although countless Donghu people escaped with their lives, they were shivering in the ice and snow with empty hands and nothing.Therefore, in various parts of the grassland, many herdsmen trekked hard in the snow, and their goal was Sirius City, but along the way, there were corpses lying in the snow everywhere.No clothes, no food, and a journey of hundreds of miles is a road to death for these herdsmen. In order to survive, some people had to attack other herdsmen and plunder their clothes and rations. .

Just as the Hengshan Army was raging on the grassland, the messenger sent by Fan Qi finally arrived at the East Hu Army camp.
