Chapter 183 Crisis 2
"What is that?"
Brother Fu couldn't help but wonder, gently pulled the person next to him, pointing at the black line slowly approaching.
The man looked carefully and said, "It seems to be a cavalry?"
"cavalry?"
Brother Fu was stunned and turned his head to look at it again. The opposite side was covered in darkness, with a large number of people. His face changed and he shouted loudly: "Enemy attack!"
There were not many cavalry in the Ming Dynasty, and the way the cavalry marched was very wrong. If someone set up such a formation when marching, it would be like a siege.
When Brother Fu shouted, the city wall suddenly became chaotic. Many people began to pay attention to the cavalry that rushed up. Taking advantage of the heavy rain, the people quickly paved towards the city wall. Many of them carried the siege equipment, such as ladders, etc.
The sound of desolate horns floated out from the city wall and resounded throughout Xuanfu.
However, there were not many soldiers standing guard on the city wall, and the rest were stationed below. When they picked up the bows and arrows, the cavalry opposite had already rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and waves of feather arrows rushed towards the city wall, and screams suddenly came out of the soldiers guarding the city.
Originally, for offense and defense, the city has more advantages, and they are waiting for work for a while, but people are on high places. Generally speaking, when attacking a city wall, you must have at least three times the strength of the city defense. At the same time, there will be a large number of casualties to break through a city. Xuanfu was originally an important town of the Ming Dynasty, and there were also a large number of soldiers stationed. However, due to being too slack, when the cavalry of Watstu was discovered, there was no time to deal with it. Moreover, the cavalry of Watstu was good at riding and shooting. So when the two sides contacted closely, they caused a large number of casualties to the few Ming soldiers. For a moment, arrows were flying on the top of the city wall and screamed everywhere. The Ming army at the top of the city could only use shields to protect themselves, and did not dare to raise their heads at all. However, they let a lot of pruning through the shields and injured the people behind them.
When the cavalry used arrows to suppress the Ming soldiers of the city wall, teams of infantry began to attack the city, and there was a moat outside the city of Xuanfu. On the backs of these soldiers, they carried sandbags and quickly threw them into the river. It took less time. A few simple passages were already built, and countless soldiers began to attack the city through these simple passages. After a while, they set up high ladders on the city wall and climbed up the ladders.
The battle situation suddenly fell to one side.
There were guarded troops stationed under the city wall. Now, when he heard this horn, a group of soldiers quickly went up the city tower under the organization of the officers, but the speed of the tile sect was too fast. When they got up the city tower, they had already attacked the city wall. The meager counterattack force on the Ming army's wall could only cause limited casualties to the tile sect, and such casualties were almost slight for the tile sect.
The city wall, which was originally difficult to conquer, suddenly fell into a precarious situation due to the carelessness of the Ming army. Fortunately, the Ming army later added it in time, so the city wall did not completely fail. The two sides fought fiercely on the city wall.
The rain did not stop at all. The blood mixed with the rain had dyed the city wall red, making the ancient city wall covered in a red outfit. The air was filled with the strong smell of blood, and the shouts of killing were heard and screams were endless.
Not far from the city wall, Ye Xianzheng stood and looked at the city wall not far away, shouting and killing sounds. The screams were so far away that they could clearly reach their ears. Either a small black dot fell from the city wall, or a distance between them, they could not see clearly whether it was the soldiers guarding the city or the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
For the troops who are siegeing cities, it is taboo to attack suddenly, which means that they cannot capture them for a long time. With enough time, the opponent can fully adjust their troops to the city wall. Once they have firmly stood up, it will not be easy to capture the city wall.
"Why haven't the cavalry moved yet?"
Ye couldn't help but frowned and said coldly.
A general next to him immediately said, "Report to the Grand Master, the city gate has not been opened yet, and the cavalry cannot enter."
Cavalry mainly relies on strong impact, but the city wall is an insurmountable obstacle for cavalry. Once the city gate is broken, the cavalry can quickly rush in and gain a foothold. As long as the subsequent troops can keep up, it is not difficult to attack the city gate.
He also took a while and said, "I'm sending someone up to me, and at the same time, I immediately told Tuotuo Wuhua that he would attack me from the West Gate immediately. Now the enemy's main forces are all at the North Gate. If he can't capture Ximen, ask him to come to see me with his head!"
The general immediately bowed his hand and then hurriedly issued an order. The sound of the dong dong war drums suddenly ran far away. Then, teams of infantry immediately rushed towards the city wall.
Everyone has selfish intentions, and the same is true for Yesen. The biggest loss in this siege is the early stage, which is a tough battle. Therefore, most of the soldiers sent here are soldiers from other tribes. As for Yesen's own, most of them are cavalry. The siege is not as good as them. However, once the city is captured, the cavalry will run quickly after cleaning up the spoils.
The war at the North Gate attracted everyone's attention. Due to the surprise of the North Gate, the other soldiers were sent one after another, leaving only some soldiers to guard it. However, there was still a certain distance between the city gates. Ye Xian took this point and stepped up the attack force of the North Gate, in order to attract the troops of the West Gate, and at the same time, Tuotuo Wuhua attacked the West Gate, so that the generals of the Ming Dynasty could take care of the head but could not take care of the tail. Ye Xian relied on his absolute advantage in military strength.
First, the Grand Tutor of Wats, made great contributions to the Unified Watss, and even fought countless wars. In February, he decided to attack the Ming Dynasty, but he never took action. He was just preparing. There is a big difference between the war between the tribes in the grassland and the war between Watss and the Ming Dynasty. That is, attacking the Ming Dynasty, which requires attacking countless towns. These towns are reinforced and cannot be conquered simply. To conquer these gates, there must be a large amount of siege equipment.
, For grasslands with very certain wood, large-scale transportation of wood will definitely attract the attention of the Ming Dynasty. So, on the grounds of building the palace, people were asked to transport a large amount of wood, and secretly started to make siege equipment. These siege equipment were not assembled immediately after the production was completed. In order to facilitate portability, these siege equipment were divided into many small parts and could be carried away by a few people. They were assembled overnight before the war, with the purpose of fighting the Ming Dynasty.
The sky is beautiful, and it rains lightly. The water in the moat did not soar because of the rain. Instead, it became a barrier to block the sight of the Ming soldiers. The cavalry was discovered only when they attacked the city, thus losing the opportunity to defeat the enemy.
An hour ago, in the Xuanfu garrison's garrison's garrison's garrison's garrison was worriedly watching the weather outside. In the house, there were several other people using tea, including the generals of the Xuanfu garrison, the generals and others.
The garrison was named Chen Hai, who was over fifty years old this year. When the garrison of Xuanfu had been close to ten years, he should have been promoted for ten years, but he hated the intrigues of the court, so he was willing to stay here for ten years.
The general's name is Liu Chenglong, and he is a princely faction. He doesn't know what benefits he has given Wang Zhen, so he was brought here to be a general. Now, seeing Chen Hai's face full of worry, he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Chen, I see you are worried. Did something happen?"
Chen Hai sighed, withdrew his gaze and said, "I am still worried that this thorn will be detrimental to my Ming Dynasty. We are their first goal here, so we have to be careful!"
Liu Chenglong laughed, put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Why, lord is still resentful of what Mr. Ma said? This thorn and Daming have not fought for many years. How could it be possible to suddenly attack my Daming? And with their little force, we will attack our Xuanfu?"
"Not bad, not bad!"
General Zeng Chuanliang continued, "Besides, that's all he said. I remember he said that just today, this tile thorn will use troops to my Ming Dynasty. The first target is Xuanfu and Datong. Although he is a tile horse, he is not a god. How could he know that this tile thorn will attack us today? If it is true, I will cut off my head and serve as a chamber pot for him."
They still looked down on Jiang Lang at all, and they treated him as if they were like them. They could only lead the troops because of their relationship, so they didn't believe Jiang Lang's words at all. Another reason was that Jiang Lang's time was too accurate, so few people would believe what he said.
In fact, Chen Hai had the same idea in his mind when he said these two people, but unlike these two people, he reported that he would rather believe in his existence than in non-existence. He immediately spoke and said, "Forget it, no matter whether he said it is true or false, let's ask people to strengthen their defense."
After saying that, he shouted, "Come here!"
