Chapter 475: Fight to the Death (Part 2)

For two consecutive days, Hu Yanchao spared no effort in attacking the southern city wall. In the past two days, the corpses of two thousand Yan army standing troops have been lying under the southern city wall. Under the southern city, there were already more than 5,000 corpses. On the ground, a thick pile of corpses had already been piled up, making the city wall a few feet shorter.

Hu Yanchao's madness completely attracted Ye Zhen's attention to the south city wall. It seemed that Hu Yanchao was determined to break through from here. Almost all the Yan State's standing army has been devoted to this battlefield. Ye Zhen is not unprepared for Hu Yanchao's possible attacks, but Hu Yanchao's formation finally slowly lowered his vigilance. In fact, Hu Yanchao's persistence also made him The defensive troops in other directions had to be deployed to defend the southern city wall.

In Jishi City, there are only 3,000 regular troops. Although most of them are recruits, they have received rigorous training after all. After two days, these people have gradually become more than tolerant from the initial jerky. The initial fear, Before the flying blood and the mountain of corpses, he has slowly become numb. With the gradual increase of the defensive force on the southern city wall, with the help of the unique urban structure of Jishi City and the defense without dead ends, the number of times Yan State's standing army attacked the city wall Instead, there are fewer and fewer.

However, Hu Yanchao didn't seem to be discouraged in the slightest. Wave after wave of troops, battalion by battalion rotation, kept attacking the southern city wall again and again.

Stone bullets and crossbow arrows were flying all over the sky, and the shooting from both sides was so dense that sometimes they collided in the air. Under this kind of attack, people died in the city, and countless catapults and bed crossbows collapsed. On the city, apart from the dead, their walls also began to be damaged under such intensive attacks. The battlements were knocked down one by one, and dents were made on the solid stones.

Ye Zhen looked up at the sky, the sky was getting dark gradually, but the opponent didn't seem to have the slightest plan to stop fighting, which made Ye Zhen a little puzzled, could it be that the opponent was going to fight at night?

"General Ye. Does Hu Yanchao want to fight at night?" Jiang Jiaquan appeared on the tower, standing beside Ye Zhen, looking at the more and more torches and bonfires on the battlefield, and asked.

"It looks like this. I don't understand." Ye Zhen shook his head. "There's no need for Hu Yanchao to do this."

"One go, then decline, three to exhaust, is it possible that Hu Yanchao is going to go all at once?"

Ye Zhen shook his head, "Hu Yanchao is a veteran, so he shouldn't think so."

"Then there is another possibility!" Jiang Jiaquan's eyes lit up, "Zhou Yu has already been defeated by the general. Tan Feng has nothing to do, so he can only take down Jishi City alone, and then threaten the general's wife and us to come To cooperate with the general."

Ye Zhen was shocked, and turned to look at Jiang Jiaquan, "It makes sense.

If Zhou Yu is defeated, the time given to Tan Feng will be very limited. "

"But why did Hu Yanchao only attack the south? If he was alone, he should besiege from all sides!" Jiang Jiaquan shook his head again.

"His strength is not enough!" Ye Zhen shook his head and said, "Jishi City is very big. If he spreads his strength, he may not be able to break through even one place. It is more beneficial to concentrate his strength. It seems that Tan Feng is really alone. Throw it, look, they moved. Hey, Wei San Que Yi, is this trying to force us to abandon the city and flee?"

Amidst Ye Zhen's sneer, the main force of the Yan army moved at full speed, heading towards the south, east, and west in all directions, while the only left behind was the vast grassland behind Beicheng. He turned around abruptly and looked at Jiang Jiaquan, "Chang Shi, It's time for the decisive battle. Please gather all the young and strong people in the city and prepare to defend the east and west walls. I have left 500 veterans there. Tang Ming and Wang Yi are in command. The south city belongs to the Yan army. I will personally guard the main attack direction."

"Okay!" Jiang Jiaquan also became a little nervous at this time, "What about the North City?"

"Where is the place where the Yan army left us to abandon the city and flee, it is a good idea to fight. There are 20,000 to 30,000 Huns in the city. Tan Feng is thinking that when the situation is urgent, these Huns may be able to open the city gate. Let's flee to the grassland they are familiar with, once this escape opening is opened, it will never be blocked, and the next thing will be much easier."

"But they didn't expect that we would never abandon the city.

Ye Zhen pondered for a while, then suddenly laughed, "Chang Shi, we have a cavalry force!"

Jiang Jiaquan's eyes lit up, "Master He Lan."

"Yes, Coach Helan!" Ye Zhen's eyes were full of murderous intent, "Our troops have been fighting for the past few days, and Hu Yanchao has figured it out. The only thing he doesn't know is the cavalry. The battle is at its most intense. At that time, if Beicheng opened up and fled, then I think the Yan army might be happy to see it happen."

Jiang Jiaquan applauded and laughed, "But what they didn't expect was that it wasn't fugitives who left the city, but a cavalry that wanted their lives."

Ye Zhen also laughed loudly, "The Yan army launched an all-round attack on the city. Without a complete formation, they have no weapon against the cavalry. If an iron cavalry sweeps past at this time, what will be the result?"

"It's a pity that this cavalry is a little weaker. There are old ones, young ones, and even a lot of strong women. If it is a real iron cavalry, it will make Tan Feng return home today." Jiang Jiaquan felt a little regretful.

"That's right, with coach Helan's personal soldiers and hundreds of people from Bai Yucheng's scout battalion as front arrows, they are enough to pierce through the Yan army. Chang Shi, without the protection of a dense formation and the cover of long-range weapons, When infantry meets cavalry, there are only two words, and they are broken. Can you imagine the power of a guy who weighs a thousand or two thousand with horses and horses? At this time, he is not a knight, but an old man. Hitting can also create a bloody path." Ye Zhen spread his hands, "Anyway, if I encounter this kind of situation, my first reaction is to run away!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

"Come on, hurry up and ask Head Helan to come over!" Jiang Jiaquan ordered amidst a long laugh.

Almost at the moment when the last attack was being made in Jishi City, Tan Feng stood in the camp. In front of him were three thousand elite soldiers selected from the Liaoxi Army and Tianhe County soldiers. The one with the strongest combat power is divided among them, and in front of these people, there are a hundred Yanling Guard soldiers, which are Tan Feng's private goods. Each of these people is a good fighter alone. One person's skill is enough to deal with dozens of ordinary soldiers.

Tan Feng's eyes were sharp, scanning Zhang Zhuo and Ji Wuqing, who led the attack this time, and his voice was extremely cold: "You must remember that for your attack this time, General Hu launched an attack on Jishi City for two consecutive days. In an attack that does not count sacrifices, thousands of corpses of standing army soldiers have been laid in front of you. Now, the main force of the enemy has been attracted to the other three sides. In this way, if you still can't take Beicheng, you don't have to come back, just end it yourself!"

"Swear to seize the North City and destroy the Stone City." Both Zhang Zhuo and Ji Wuqing accepted the order awe-inspiringly. Tan Feng has already made it very clear that this time, if he fails, he will be benevolent.

"These hundred people are all warriors of my Yan Lingwei. They climb the city wall as if walking on the ground. They will be the first wave of attackers. After they go to the city, they will hang down the rope ladder. You must quickly go to the city to reinforce them. Then seize the city gate, as long as we enter the city, the victory will be ours. The Eastern Conqueror Army will only fight against this strange city." Tan Feng pointed to the hundred people. "They went to the city first, and there must not be many who survived. They have put their lives and deaths at risk. I hope you will not let their sacrifices be in vain."

"Thank you Commander!" Zhang Zhuo and Ji Wuqing bowed again. With these one hundred martial arts masters, the hope of capturing the North City Gate is greatly increased. Now that the main force of the North City Gate has been transferred, the rest must be Not much, as long as you go to Decheng, victory is in sight.

"Let's go!" Tan Feng waved his hand, standing where he was, watching that the surprise attack army he had placed high hopes on would bring him success. For this moment, they have already made two full days of preparations.

How could he let Gao Yuan's wife and his important subordinates escape to the grassland? This person Gao Yuan must not stay. When he was in Fufeng, he was able to turn himself over in such an extremely difficult situation. , to create a frightening Fufeng soldier now, and now, he will never give him such an opportunity, not only Gao Yuan will die, but also all the seeds he left behind will be left behind.

"I really hope that you think I'm surrounded by three and one is missing. If you really abandon the city and leave, it will be a big surprise!" Tan Feng smiled.

The North City of Jishi City is a residential area under planning, and it has not yet been completed. A large number of stones have been piled up here. Because of the war, the work of building houses has stopped. These stones that were originally intended to be built are now used to make stone bombs For raw materials, Guo Quan led thousands of people on this construction site, holding axes and chisels, grinding stone bullets day and night, cutting pieces of stone into stone bullets that can be fired. Craftsmen, there are also gray-haired old men, women with babies on their backs, and children who have not yet left their toddler voices. Everyone lowers their heads, waving their knives and chisels, and silently cutting stones. The occasion where countless people work , except for the clanging of axes and chisels, there was no sound of speaking. Guo Quan was also among them. Although his hands were heavily callused, new wounds had been added on top of the calluses. In fact, not only him, but everyone here was covered with scars on their hands. Wrapped a piece of cloth on it, endured the pain, and started working again.

In the distance, the sound of horseshoes was suddenly heard. Guo Quan raised his head abruptly, and saw black people walking towards here on the street in the distance. He suddenly became excited, and he compared What the common people here know more is that when the cavalry in the city is dispatched, it is the moment of decisive battle.

Now, here comes the cavalry! The ones walking in the front were the instructor Helan, General Bai Yucheng, and the vicious General Hengdao.

Their arrival also represented the start of a counterattack in the city, instead of blindly defending.
