Chapter 792: Sunrise in the East (17)
Meng Chong stood up slowly, raised the knife in his hand, and struck it hard on the wall in front of him and on the city head. Soldiers stood up one after another. The sadness gradually disappeared and was replaced by anger. and boiling murderous intent
Meng Chong raised the short sword with only half of it left in his hand and shouted loudly: "I, Meng Chong, here represent the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Dongfu army, and I will break my sword and swear an oath."
He turned around and shouted loudly: "Repeat it together so that all the Donghu people can hear it."
On top of the city, thousands of soldiers raised their weapons high and loudly repeated Meng Chong's oath.
"The day when the Eastern Army defeated Donghu," Meng Chong continued.
"The day the Dongfeng Army defeated Donghu!" the whole army shouted in unison
"The Yuwen clan will leave no chickens or dogs behind!" Meng Chong said every word.
"The Yuwen clan, no chickens or dogs left!" All the soldiers roared angrily
"The high-end car clan will leave no chickens or dogs behind!"
"The Kirgiz people will not leave any chickens or dogs behind!"
Above the city, angry roars rushed straight into Yunxiao, and the oath to leave no chickens or dogs behind echoed in the ears of every Donghu soldier, making their faces grim. This was an oath, and it was also a killing order, especially during the current campaign to the east. Given that the army has a huge advantage, it is not impossible.
Gao Che and Kirgiz's faces turned pale as they stared at the corpses of more than a hundred Eastern March soldiers still floating on the flagpoles. They suddenly felt a trace of regret and killed them. Why did they have to drag them here? Hanging himself in front of the defenders, Yu Wenke may have wanted to undermine the confidence of the defenders, but it had the opposite effect. Meng Chong had a series of attacks on the city, which actually boosted the morale of the defenders.
"If you want to stop me, you have to see if you can survive my test alive?" Although Yu Wenke felt extremely unnatural in his heart, he still stood firm. "The palace guards are riding and shooting. The other troops are dismounting. Attack the city!"
Kirgiz hesitated for a moment and said, "General Yuwen. Everyone is angry at the soldiers who are marching against the Eastern Army at the top of the city. It is the time when morale is high. Attacking the city at this time may not be worth the gain. It is better to avoid this period of time and come back to fight them decisively."
Yu Wenke shook his head and said: "At this moment, we must not retreat. Once we retreat, our morale will drop. Aren't their morale high? I just want to suppress their morale and send an order to let the captured Agu people The soldiers attacked the city and told them that if they march forward bravely, the King of Donghu will allow them to return to Donghu, and those who passively avoid the war will be killed by Wuhe!"
Kirgiz heard this.
He was also very happy, "How could I forget this problem? No wonder General Yuwen brought over all the captured Agu soldiers. They were originally intended to be used here. Agu Huai'en is now in the city and sees his former subordinates. I wonder what he will think if he takes the lead in attacking the city. I don’t know how Meng Chong will deal with him. Will he kill him to establish his authority?”
War drums were beating below the city, and the palace guards advanced on their horses, passing under the city at high speed. Arrows were shot from the bottom of the city to the top of the city with the sound of wind, but above the top of the city, everything was quiet. He didn't fight back, whether it was a bed crossbow or an arm crossbow. Or other bows and arrows, for such high-speed moving objects. The hit rate is not very good unless he launches covering fire, but Meng Chong is unwilling to use this move to deal with these sparsely formed cavalry. The effort and reward are not directly proportional at all.
When the palace guards started riding and shooting, some soldiers from the Donghu army were driven out in a mess. Although these soldiers were holding weapons and carrying ladders, what was surprising was that behind them, they were in full formation. The Donghu Army, all with their bows and arrows ready, were aiming at these people.
Seeing this scene, Meng Chong was stunned at first, but he immediately realized that these people must be captured Agu soldiers. Agu Huai'en led more than 10,000 troops to ride out of the city to fight, but was defeated by the palace guards. Aguhuaien only managed to escape with more than 2,000 people. The rest were either killed or fled. Now it seems that most of them were taken as prisoners.
Look at the number of people, there are almost three thousand people
Meng Chong frowned, turned around and said, "Ask Agu Huaien to come up."
Agu Huai'en was seriously injured and had been recuperating since he came back. Meng Chong couldn't count on him for the job of defending the city. Meng Chong directly released Agu Huai'en and some other generals who had escaped. In his own mansion, he sent people to guard him closely to prevent anything from going wrong.
Aguhuaien limped up the city wall. When he saw the captured Agu soldiers being forced to attack the city, his face suddenly turned green. On top of the city, he jumped and cursed, directly from Yuwen Ke's eighteen generations of ancestors were all fucked one by one
Yu Wenming, who was under the city, was furious when he heard this. He rushed forward on horseback, caught in the palace guards, rushed to the city, raised his hand and shot an arrow at Agu Huai'en. Agu Huai'en was so angry that he couldn't calm down, so he didn't take precautions. When he saw the arrow, he went straight to his face. Meng Chong on the side was so anxious that he swung his knife and smashed the arrow away. The blade of the knife passed Agu Huaiyin's face, making him break into a cold sweat.
"General Agu, what should we do now?" Meng Chong looked at him and asked
Agu Huai'en is also a veteran on the battlefield, so he naturally knows what to do, but after all, those soldiers under the city are his disciples, so how can he be willing to give up? While he was hesitating, his eyes suddenly caught sight of the coldness in Meng Chong's eyes, and he suddenly shuddered. , and suddenly realized that Meng Chong seemed to have good intentions in informing him to come and discuss how to deal with this scene, but in fact, this good intention contained endless murderous intent. If he didn't handle it properly, he might be killed immediately. On the spot, the other two thousand Agu soldiers in the city had no chance of surviving.
After thinking about this, Agu Huaien took a deep breath, covered his face with his hands, and turned around: "General Meng, since they are attacking our Liaoning Guard with sharp blades, they are naturally our enemies. "You don't have to be lenient"
"General Agu understands justice well. After the war, I will report this to the Commander-in-Chief. I think the Commander-in-Chief will never let your Agu tribe make sacrifices in vain. When Helin is captured and Thorpe is captured in the future, After the major event has been decided, your Agu tribe will definitely receive ten times the compensation you lost today." Meng Chong nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you, General Meng!" Agu Huaien bowed deeply, "General Meng, please forgive me for not being able to help you at this time. I hope the general will allow me to go back to the city to rest until I am needed. Agu Huaien and the people in the city will Two thousand soldiers will inevitably follow the general's lead."
"Okay, although they are our enemies now, they must be your old troops, General. Naturally, I will not embarrass General Agu. Come, help General Agu down to rest." Meng Chong waved his hand and said.
Groups of Agu soldiers with no formation and no cover carried crude ladders and rushed towards the Liaoning Guard with random roars. In front of them was the fortified city of the Liaoning Guard, and behind them were the sharp feathers of the Donghu soldiers. An arrow is a knife when you extend your head, and it is a knife when you shrink your head. These people have finally broken the jar.
The crossbow began to whistle, and after a moment, the crossbows, like dark clouds, flew down from the air, knocking down the poorly equipped Agu soldiers one by one in the middle of the attack.
When the Liaoning Guard offensive and defensive battle officially kicked off, a fast horse ran into the Niulanshan camp like lightning. The three red flags planted behind it represented the most urgent military situation.
"The Liaoning Guard is in emergency, the Liaoning Guard is in emergency, tens of thousands of Donghu troops are attacking the Liaoning Guard!" The information brought by the messenger immediately made the entire Niulanshan camp excited.
The gathering drum rumbled, and countless soldiers poured out of the barracks. The generals rushed towards Yan Haibo's location as fast as possible.
After the three drums were completed, all the generals stood upright in front of Commander Yan Haibo. Yan Haibo was the youngest commander in the Eastern Expeditionary Army. He was two years younger than Gao Yuan and had just passed his twenties this year. It is his third birthday, but now he is already the commander of an army commanding tens of thousands of troops.
In order to make his face look less youthful, young Yan Haibo deliberately grew a beard. The long beard on his face made it difficult to guess his true age. At this time, his face was ashen and he held a knife in his hand. Stand after a major case
"The Donghu general Yu Wenke commanded 3,000 palace guards and 30,000 tribal troops. They raided Jiepukou more than ten days ago. After Commander He led 5,000 cavalry to rescue the defenders at Jiepukou, they were unable to return due to the disparity in strength. When arriving at the Liaoning Guard, we can only move into the territory of Donghu. However, Yu Wenke has already arrived at the Liaoning Guard with a large army. The Liaoning Guard now only has more than 5,000 defenders. Panshan's 5,000 troops set off three days ago. We also have to Advance into the Liaoning Guard as quickly as possible, assist Commander Meng, and defend the Liaoning Guard. The Liaoning Guard must not be left in our hands." Yan Haibo gave a brief introduction to the enemy's situation in a concise and comprehensive manner.
"Now I order the entire army to abandon all baggage, carry only ten days' rations, and advance lightly. Tang Yibiao, your division is the forward, set off immediately. Lu Yuanchuan of the Southern Group Army led a battalion of soldiers and traveled hundreds of miles lightly. In no man's land, he captured Xintian in one fell swoop and made great contributions to our Zhengdong Mansion's capture of Langya. I hope our Eastern Army can also produce a figure like this. Can you do it?"
Tang Yibiao strode forward, "Commander Yan, even if the last general runs out of breath, he will reach the Liaoning Guards in the shortest possible time."
"You can't run to your death. You still have to fight when you reach Liaoning Guard!" Yan Haibo shook his head and said: "Fei Qian in the winding mountains has already set off. They are five days ahead of you. I hope to shorten the distance with them as much as possible. This kind of In battle, the most taboo thing is the refueling tactic. I am very worried that our reinforcements will be defeated one by one. Remember, the earlier you arrive, the more support you can get to the friendly forces in front."
"General, I understand!" Tang Yibiao nodded, turned around and strode out of the tent.
"Tang Yibiao's troops will set off soon. The other troops must set off tonight and rush all night. I have visited Liaoxi County and Jishi City, but Jishi City is far away from here. If you want to respond, you have to be at least half a mile away. Everyone after Yue, we have to rely on ourselves first for this battle."
"Conquer the Eastern Army, and we will be victorious!" All the generals shouted in unison (to be continued)
