Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 689 Good News

"Kill!"

The sound of the huge horn filled the whole world, and more than [-] Xianbei warriors charged forward while riding their war horses with deafening shouts.Behind them, there are Han soldiers dressed in various styles, but the same thing is that they all wrapped their heads in a yellow cloth, carried siege equipment, and followed the Xianbei cavalry to gallop towards Jinyang City.

At this time, in front of Jinyang City, the moat had already been filled with sand, which could not effectively isolate the cavalry.The chalk-tamped city walls were densely nailed with arrows.There are also broken corners that can be seen everywhere. Under the hunting of the new wind, it looks like a wounded hedgehog, which looks tragic and stubborn.

Xu Rong's eyes were bloodshot, but he was still wearing a bright and solemn battle armor, standing on the top of the city.With his attire, there is no doubt that he will attract the greatest firepower from the enemy.But also because the soldiers all over the city could see their general, they straightened up their tired bodies without fear to meet the fierce attack of the enemy.

"Xianbei bastards, and you black bandits who can only hide behind the horseshoes of Xianbei bastards, come!" The golden drums sounded all over the city, and the roars of Han soldiers were like wild beasts.

"Don't make any noise!" Xu Rong waved his hand to stop Wei Yan, who started the leader, and once again commanded the overall situation calmly: "Bowmen, suppress the enemy, and all parts are waiting for orders! This time, the Xianbei cavalry and the Heishan bandits are attacking the city together. It's rare. However, it can also be seen that these guys are anxious by us."

Xu Rong made a good guess, this is the seventh day, and only the Heishan bandit infantry kept attacking the city before.The Xianbei cavalry only waved their flags and shouted, indicating that they were just a nest of snakes and rats.But in the past seven days, Xu Rong's superb command and the Han army's resolute counterattack only allowed the black mountain bandits to drop more than [-] dead bodies in exchange for a filled moat.

Such a result made the Heishan bandits finally unable to suppress the anger in their hearts: They also came to attack Jinyang City, so why can they, the Han people, die tragically under the city, while the Xianbei alien race can be unscathed?

This is the way things are in the world, if the only ones attacking Jinyang City are the Heishan bandits, then they can only swallow their teeth.But there is no harm if there is no comparison. Once they saw the preferential treatment of the Xianbei people, the leaders of the Black Mountain Bandits could no longer remain silent. Those Xianbei bastards must also bleed! Otherwise, we will return to the Taihang Mountains!"

Fengji was also devastated by this matter. The Xianbei people and the Black Mountain bandits had never been as close as a family, but instead fought endlessly with each other.It took a lot of effort to unite these two families.Finally, Budugen reluctantly agreed to today's matter after moving out Yuan Shao's banner again.

However, the corresponding result was that although the fear of Yuan Shao from Budugen and the Black Mountain Bandit was greatly reduced, the resentment grew secretly.

Especially Budugen, seeing his Xianbei warriors at this time, paid almost a third of the casualties before rushing to the top of the city, but did nothing.He could only rely on his superb riding and archery skills to cover those dawdling black bandits and die innocently. His face was full of strong resentment: "The Han people are really against the Han people, they just let our Xianbei warriors die in vain!"

There is no doubt that the black bandit did play some tricks this time.But this kind of trick was not inspired by their leader, but happened naturally during the battle: seven days was enough to make the black bandits feel the arrows of the Han army that seemed to be endless and dense like a tide. fear.Especially this time, they could only eat dirt behind the horseshoes of the Xianbei cavalry, and were looked down with contemptuous eyes by those Xianbei warriors. They coincidentally slowed down their siege.

So, naturally, the scene on the scene became that Xianbei's cavalry had already attacked under the city gate, but the Black Bandit's infantry had not yet run within range.Bu Dugen could only watch helplessly as his warriors fell down one by one under the crossbows of the Han army, howling and turning into corpses.

The rain of arrows was like locusts, still pouring down the city at a constant frequency. What Budugen heard in his ears was the sound of bows and arrows piercing through fur and piercing flesh, and the neighing of arrows falling from horses.At this moment, his heart was bleeding!Already he couldn't help roaring angrily: "Everyone come back, all withdraw!"

"No, we can't retreat!" Yan Liang, who was hidden in the Xianbei formation, suddenly said, with a stern look on his face: "It has been seven days, and even though the Han army still has plenty of bows and arrows, the exhaustion of the Han army is inevitable. With such intensity of shooting, the soldiers' fingers I'm afraid it's already worn out. As long as you persevere, when the Black Mountain crowd rushes to the city wall, this time the attack on the city will surely win!"

"That's my clansman, of course you don't feel sorry for it!" Bu Dugen roared, and swung his knife to cut at Yan Liang.

However, Yan Liang just turned around suddenly, and pinched Bu Dugen's wrist holding the scimitar in his hand.Then, with a sudden force, Bu Dugen was so painful that he dropped the scimitar.At this time, Yan Liang's equally murderous roar came from his ears: "We Han people have a saying, kindness does not command soldiers! In addition, 30 shi of grain is worth the lives of three thousand Xianbei people like you!"

"You!..." Bu Dugen was suppressed by Yan Liang's violent momentum, and felt pain in his heart for a moment: For the first time, he regretted accepting Yuan Shao's food.

Fortunately, when the two were arguing, the scene finally changed again.When more than half of the Xianbei cavalry suffered casualties, the Montenegrin infantry finally rushed to the city against the rain of arrows from the Han army.They have no organizational system, and they are timid and frustrated. They have long since lost the shadow of the elite yellow scarves that made the elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty fearful.But among the thieves who survived, many of them honed their proficient skills and battlefield intuition on the battlefield.

I don't know whether it was the fatigue of the Han army that the Xianbei aliens did exchange their lives for, or whether Yan Liang's judgment was correct.In any case, the arrow rain attack on Jinyang City has indeed eased a lot at this time.These black bandits, in a group of more than a dozen people, quickly took their positions under the city, raised their shields high and erected rows of ladders with fresh green shoots under the city wall, and began to climb up.

In addition, there were 30 people pushing carts made of crudely nailed large wooden stakes, and under the cover of several layers of thick cowhide, they came to the gate of the city. The huge impact sound crushed the horns and snare drums.

The reaction on the top of the city was also extremely quick. The ladder was immediately pushed away by the Han army with the rejection pole, and many soldiers fell down in mid-air.

At the same time, a large cauldron of hot oil was poured from the city gate, followed by a lot of hay and fire starters.Then, Xu Rong, a general of the Han Dynasty, appeared again and suddenly threw a flaming torch from the top of the city!

"Run!" The black mountain bandits who were attacking the city let out a mournful roar, and some experienced veterans immediately ran back regardless of the arrow rain on the city wall.However, they were still one step too late, the siege vehicle was immediately ignited by torches, and the city gate was covered in flames.Those Montenegrin soldiers who had no time to react were instantly enveloped in flames, and the screams were endless.

The city of Jinyang was filled with joy and morale was shaken.Xu Rong also clearly judged that after such a tragic blow, this wave of siege was over.However, he was still a little greedy, and turned to Wei Yan and asked, "Wen Chang, how dare you take five hundred cavalry out of the city to attack?"

"I want to do what I want, I dare not invite you!" Wei Yan was overjoyed when he heard the military order. The [-] cavalry only showed their prestige when they came to help.

But just as Wei Yan was about to go down to the city to change horses, a voice suddenly sounded: "Lieutenant Wei, if possible, your five hundred cavalry can only hunt down those Xianbei aliens, not the Black Mountain bandits."

Wei Yan was stunned, but after savoring Du Ji's words for a while, his eyes brightened: "Master Du's plan to sow discord is really pervasive, making it impossible for the enemy to guard against. Even if we see through our army's intentions this time, they will pretend not to understand and make use of it!"

Du Ji also smiled slightly, bowed to Wei Yan and said: "General Wei has both civil and military skills, and he really deserves to be a good general valued by His Majesty!"

This sentence of encouragement is really more effective than any mobilization. As soon as Wei Yan heard the word 'Your Majesty', Wei Yan's face turned red immediately, and he hurried down the city a lot.

Not long after, the city gate wrapped in iron suddenly opened, and the five hundred cavalry once again showed the fearlessness and ferocity they had when they first appeared, and charged hard at the Xianbei cavalry who had not had time to put away their bows and arrows and draw their scimitars .At this time, the sun once again showed its dazzling light, but the battlefield under the light was so horrific, it seemed so dazzling.

Xu Rong took his eyes away from Wei Yan's cavalry with great difficulty, and when he turned his head to look at Du Ji, his expression was relieved: "Brother Du, you appeared at the top of the city this time, there must be news from His Majesty. Bar?"

Du Ji, on the other hand, glanced back at the two flying fish brocade-robed guards behind him, and nodded, "Not only is there news, it's still good news. Bringing more than a dozen brocade-clothed guards is indeed worth [-] troops at a critical moment... ..."
