The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 562
The whole morning's fierce battle left many dead bodies in the city and the city, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.Shan Xiongxin pushed the [-] troops up across the board, and at one point allowed the Wei army to rush to the top of the city with the advantage in strength. This also made Li Mi see the way to break the city. The army all swarmed up and continued to press the city with crowd tactics.

This time, he also imitated the Sui army, and changed the big "spoon" of the catapult carrying stones into a bag, and smashed the gravel hard on the top of the city. Let rows of Sui troops fall down in pieces.

At the same time, rows of ladders were also pushed out. Inspired by anger, the death and wailing of Pao Ze did not make Wei Jun feel cowardly. Charge.

Although the Wei army's offensive caused more casualties than before, the soldiers of the Wei army who played the crowd tactics were able to rush to the city faster than in the past, which also made the soldiers of the Wei army think that the hope of victory was far away, and they felt that they only needed to work harder. Can destroy this city.

Under the support of this belief, the generals of the Wei army were more brave than in the morning. Although their own defense has been reduced a lot, which has increased the casualties, but if they break through Xiang'an City under the stimulation of this belief, then these casualties will be of great concern to Li Mi. That being said, it's definitely worth it.

The faces of Yang Tong and Du Fuwei also became serious. At this moment, they also saw that Li Mi was risking his life. Judging from the performance of Wei Jun, it is by no means comparable to the mob. Can not be underestimated.

"This battle is a bit difficult!" Yang Tong turned to look at Du Fuwei, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the last general will never allow the Wei army to cross the front of the city!" Du Fuwei has fought for many years, and his experience is much better than that of Yang Tong, especially in offensive and defensive warfare. The Wei army is like a flash flood, coming fiercely, but it has been exhausted. The posture of the Wei army to attack the city with all its strength also let him know that the Wei army is actually at the end of its strength.

"If the enemy army rushes to the city, I will ask Mo Daoshou to help. Get rid of this momentum!" Yang Yu felt very sorry, if all kinds of advanced weapons and equipment could be used at this time, he would not be afraid of Wei Jun's desperate fight at all. Law.

"Here!" Du Fuwei responded, and then looked at Wei Jun who was coming from the city.

At this time, the Sui army's catapult started again, and a series of strong winds blew, and countless fragments rose into the air, forming a dense stone formation in the air, whizzing and smashing towards the top of Wei Jun's head.

A group of Wei Jun who was running at the front turned their backs, and the ore hit the soldiers, and their heads were smashed instantly, bloody and bloody.

A single rain of stones killed and wounded countless Wei soldiers, and also frustrated their madness. However, their offensive did not stop, and they continued to attack the city one after another. At this time, the second wave of gravel rain hit again. A crowd turned on their backs, but after two rounds of stone rain, Wei Jun's forward troops were less than 130 steps away from the city.

The Sui army's crossbow array was launched, and a drum beat, and more than 6000 hand crossbows were fired at the same time. Amid the dense arrow rain, they soared into the sky again, forming a long black arrow cloud in the air, which instantly turned into black spots. Shooting head-on at the Wei army, the soldiers of the Wei army raised their shields to meet them.

But these are the weapons and equipment that Yang Tong brought from Jiangxia when he heard that Du Fuwei's battle was urgent. After modification, the crossbows of the Sui army dominate the world. Except for the limited elite troops, the rest are ordinary shields and leather armor. These inferior armors, which have long been eliminated by the main battle army of the Great Sui Dynasty, cannot withstand the powerful crossbows of the Sui army, especially the condescending throwing from the air by the Sui army. When the arrow descends, it has its own gravity, which makes Wei Jun's simple wooden shield a decoration.In addition, Wei Jun rushed towards the arrow, which made the arrow more powerful.

Under the superimposition of several forces, the powerful and heavy crossbow arrows pierced through the shields of Wei Jun and their leather armor. , so dense that it is almost breathless.

The arrows fell like a rainstorm, piercing the shields and the faces and chests of the enemy soldiers, making these mighty Wei soldiers fall down one by one in blood splatter like crops devastated by the storm.

The Wei army's first attack was disintegrated by this violent offensive. They were hit hard. The Sui army only shot two or six consecutive arrows, coupled with the continuous blows from the trebuchets. More than half.

Li Mi, who was watching the battle from behind, also gasped. He had never seen such a powerful and domineering arrow array, although he knew that his own bows and arrows were inferior to those of the Sui army, and he also knew that the Sui army's crossbow arrows were powerful.But he really didn't know much about the Sui army's arrow array, which had never been confronted head-on. The Sui army's three-stage arrow array could ensure that the arrows were shot continuously, and it also made the arrows more powerful.

"King of Wei!" Shan Xiongxin looked at the "Sui" flag waving in the wind on the top of the city, and said in a deep voice with worry: "Du Fuwei obviously got the strong bow and crossbow of the Sui army, but I'm afraid it's not the same. Not much, this is also our last chance, once advanced weapons and equipment are continuously delivered, it will be even more difficult for our army to break through the city. So..."

"Success or failure is here!" Li Mi took Shan Xiongxin's words, and his slightly shaken heart became firmer. He must use the human sea tactics to capture Xiang'an County in the shortest possible time and annihilate Du Fuwei's main force. Therefore, he said to a school lieutenant beside him: "Beat the drums and send an order to let the soldiers continue to attack the city."

"Here!" The school lieutenant waved his flag, and the sound of drums rang out.

This time, the arrows at the top of the city have become quite thin, causing much less damage to the Wei army.

"Sure enough, the general didn't expect it!" Li Mi punched both fists and said excitedly: "Du Fuwei's powerful crossbow is powerful, but it also consumes a lot of arrows. Judging from the screen of these arrows, it should be bows and arrows, not crossbows." .”

"Exactly!" Shan Xiongxin was also very relieved, if the arrows poured down like a torrential rain like just now, no amount of soldiers would be enough for the Sui army to shoot and kill.

As Li Mi said, although the arrows of the Sui army's crossbow had not been exhausted, there were not many of them. This made Yang Tong very annoyed, and reluctantly ordered to save it for the critical moment!

Relatively speaking, Du Fuwei, who has been living a tight life, is quite happy. Although he also feels regretful, he is quite satisfied after getting used to hard times and suddenly obtaining unexpected results.

Looking at the Wei army attacking like ants, and seeing the Sui army on the top of the city suffering heavy casualties under the rubble like "the goddess scattered flowers", Yang Tong frowned deeply. He didn't like this kind of passive defensive battle. .

At this moment, a faint fragrance came from behind. Looking sideways, Yang Qinfang, who had vomited for a long time, regained her strength and ran up the tower again. Yang Qinfang has a strand of beautiful hair.

Seeing the direction in which his hair was flying, Yang Tong looked up at the battle flag with the word "Sui" on the tower. The battle flag fluttered in the wind and made a sound, pointing to the outside of the city. With a flash of inspiration, thinking about it, he said to Du Fuwei who was staring at the enemy: "Don't look, I already have a plan to defeat the enemy, Li Mi is finished this time."

Du Fuwei, Kan Leng and others suddenly turned around upon hearing the words.

"The westerly wind is strong at this time, if the sand falls down, what do you think will be the effect?" Yang Tong asked with a smile.

Du Fuwei exclaimed ecstatically, "Everyone has become blind."

"Exactly!" Yang Tong said excitedly, "We dumped the sand from a high position, and it happened to fall into the eyes of the Wei army who was looking up at the city. When the time comes, let the Xiaoguo army and the Xuanjia army go out of the city to chop vegetables."

"Kan Ling, take someone to collect dry sand, the more the better." Du Fuwei ordered.

"Here!" Kan Leng responded and walked away quickly.

"Let the Xiaoguo Army and Xuanjia Army prepare to attack." Yang Tong also gave a combat order to Yin Mingyue on the side.

"Here!" Yin Mingyue left in a hurry.

Xiang'an County has now become a military fortress. Du Fuwei's main force is here. In addition to the soldiers who fought, there are countless soldiers preparing for rounds of battle. They all went to collect sand and soil under Kan Ling's breath. Chaohu Lake has loose soil and a lot of sand. It took less than an hour for everyone to collect more than 3000 bags of sand.

When Kan Leng came back to return, Yang Tong, Du Fuwei and the others all had excited smiles on their faces. Looking at the direction of the wind, Du Fuwei issued a banner.

When the order was issued, all the soldiers on the top of the city dropped their weapons, picked up bags of sand at their feet and poured them down towards the city.

This is the time when the west wind is rushing.As the so-called west wind blows east, the sand in the sky is blowing towards Li Mi's siege army with the wind, and the east wind is blowing in a thick wind and sand without thinking.

The raging sand was like a rolling yellow dragon. Under the power of the strong wind, all the soldiers of the Wei army were surrounded. No one of the soldiers of the Wei army could open their eyes, and a choking "earth smell" permeated the city.

Bags of sand were swayed by the soldiers of the Sui army and eroded towards the Wei army continuously under the howling of the east wind.

Almost all Wei Jun became Huangtu people, and almost everyone was recruited. In order to prevent the sand from entering their eyes, mouth and nose, they closed their eyes, covered their mouths and noses with their hands, and retreated slowly.

Some people ran around without thinking: they couldn't see the direction clearly, and most of them knocked each other to the ground. The people who hit the wall have...

Wei Jun was in a mess like ants on a hot pot.

In the distance, Li Mi covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and squinted his eyes in surprise to see the yellow sand all over the sky, but his vision was covered by the yellow sand, so he couldn't see clearly at all.

"Cough, cough, cough! Bah, bah, bah..." Fang Xuanzao didn't notice for a while, and the sand was blown into his mouth, making his mouth full of sand, and he vomited wildly beside Li Mi.

Shan Xiongxin also covered his face with his sleeve, and said anxiously: "King Wei, order to retreat? At this moment, the west wind is blowing from the east, and our soldiers can't attack in the sandy sky. Everyone has become blind. If the city kills Send out an enemy army, and our army suffers heavy casualties."

After spitting out the sand in his mouth, Fang Xuanzao persuaded loudly: "The general is right, it is better to retreat at this moment. Our army can't attack if we can't open our eyes. We can only become the enemy's target. The enemy Fight out from the city with the wind, and our army will be defeated."

Li Mi also knew that the situation was urgent, so he immediately summoned messengers and ordered to retreat.

As soon as the drums for retreat sounded, the blind Wei Jun became even more chaotic.

**************
At this moment, Yang Tong saw that the time was ripe, and he ordered decisively: "Stop throwing sand, the Xuanjia army is in the middle, and the Xiaoguo army is lined up on the left and right. They will use arrows to kill in the direction of Wei Junshuai's flag, and kill all Cheng Jian who tried to resist. The Wei army was defeated! General Du, you lead the elite soldiers behind, and the blind men outside the city will be handed over to you."

The generals gladly took orders and left.

Five thousand Xuanjia troops and ten thousand Xiaoguo troops rode on horses, stepped on the sandy soil under the city, and charged straight towards Li Mi's central army.

Du Fuwei led the elite No.11 army to arrest people under the city.

Due to the limited terrain in front of Xiang'an City, the cavalry of the Wei army could not come to support.Siege soldiers are usually mainly infantry, and Li Mi's siege soldiers are no exception. Most of them are now blind and in a mess, unable to resist sharp spears, swords, and surging horseshoes.

When the sand and soil dispersed, Li Mi found groups of cavalrymen madly massacring his troops with a fierce and fierce aura.

The gap between the cavalry and the infantry was immediately clear. The three cavalry teams tore the [-] siege soldiers into four in an instant, and the chaotic Wei army quickly melted and disintegrated like ice cubes caught in a raging fire. Killing towards him, people's heads rolled, broken arms flew across the path, and blood mist filled the sky.

"The Xiaoguo Army again?"

Seeing these three iron cavalry galloping across the sky, Li Mi was terrified and frightened.

Seeing this familiar momentum, this familiar equipment, and the mountains of corpses and pools of blood they raised, a sense of desolate fate welled up in the depths of Li Mi's soul.

For the first time, the Wagang Army defeated Zhang Xutuo, and their morale was high. When they were about to invade Henan County, Yang Tong personally led 20 Xiaoguo troops from Kangcheng, and defeated more than [-] Wagang Army. The Wagang army was beaten as badly as possible. Li Mi, Zhai Rang and other Wagang leaders escaped by jumping into the icy canal;
The second time, the Wagang Army, which had the advantage of the right time, place, people, and numbers, and had all the elite soldiers and generals, was defeated by Yu Wenhua and his team in the battle of Xiao County. The Xiaoguo army collapsed, and Li Mi himself was injured by the arrow and was almost captured alive. Zhai let the founder of Wagang even more unlucky, and died directly among the rebellious army. There is no Wei Jun today.

But today, just as he was about to break through Xiang'an and annihilate Du Fuwei's main force, this army of devils that had gradually faded from Li Mi's memory came again.

Scenes of the past, scenes of the past... Let Li Mi feel that he is incompatible with the Xiaoguo Army, and the five elements are against each other. Every time he is about to succeed, the Xiaoguo Army will always appear and always make him fall from the high sky down.

"If the Xiaoguo army appears, Yang Tong must be in the city, and nothing can be done!" Fang Xuanzao lamented, and then suggested: "If Yang Yu is here, there must be more than this number of Sui troops. I think that Liyang is not safe anymore. .”

"Ah! Who would have thought that at this critical moment, the tyrannical and unparalleled Yang Tong would use such indiscriminate means. Liyang is Du Fuwei's fundamental place, and the hearts of the people belong to him. If he enters Liyang, the people will surely join the way." Welcome, so Liyang is like chicken ribs, it's tasteless to eat, but it's a pity to throw it away. Given the current situation, if we are restrained by the Sui army in Liyang, we are really not far from extinction."

Li Mi's heart was dripping with blood, showing a smile uglier than crying, he gave Xiang'an City a hard look, and couldn't help roaring: "I, Li Mi, have nothing else, but I have a heart that will never admit defeat! There are tens of thousands of brothers who are not afraid of death. If you lose this time, the worst thing is to start all over again."

After speaking, lead the Wei army to fight and retreat.

Seeing that it was getting late and it was getting dark, Yang Tong was afraid of being ambushed by Li Mi, so in desperation he had no choice but to give up the good opportunity to take advantage of the situation and recall all the soldiers.
