Chapter 466 Take the initiative to meet the enemy
Chapter 466
If the capital army alone resisted the Xifan army, it would be really difficult to resist.
Although there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the capital, the attacking Xifan Army only has five troops and only 50,000 troops.
But the situation on the battlefield was that the Xifan army, which had only 50,000 attacking parties, completely suppressed the 200,000-300,000 capital army.
Just as the city defense of Huaian City was in danger and the morale of the defenders was about to collapse, Chen Fang felt that it was almost done. He took the flag and walked to the edge of the city wall and waved outwards.
As the flag swung, the 30,000 border troops stayed in the city, and the 30,000 ready-to-run troops rushed up and rushed to the top of the city.
The soldiers of the border troops who rushed up the city wall quickly replaced the chaotic capital army and launched a head-on attack on the Xifan army, which was attacking the city.
In an instant, the soldiers of the Xifan Army who were climbing up the ladder like rain, were caught in arrows one after another as if they were dumplings.
The defense of the border army is not everyone doing one thing at once, but is divided into several groups.
Some people were shooting arrows and shooting the enemy troops climbing the city, some were throwing wooden rocks under the city wall, and some people used strong bows and crossbows to shoot the light cavalry wandering back and forth outside the moat.
Some people also repaired the damaged stone thrower and crossbow.
Looking at the defense of the border soldiers, they are completely orderly and perform their duties.
The participation of the border army not only suppressed the offensive momentum of the Xifan army, but also greatly stabilized the morale of the capital army.
Gradually, soldiers of the capital army began to participate in the border army.
Either follow them to kill and injure the enemy, or help them shoot, install crossbow arrows, carry rolling wooden stones, repair stone throwing machine crossbows, etc.
As time goes by, although the attack of the Xifan Army has become more and more fierce, Huaian City's defense has become stronger and stronger, and the counterattack against the enemy outside the city has become increasingly stronger.
Soon, the attacking Xifan army rushed to the car and came near the city gate.
Dozens of Xifan soldiers either raised their shields to cover them or worked together to pull the hammer to continuously impact the city gate.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The roar of impact came one after another, and the earth chips and stones fell down around the city gate.
The soldiers of the capital were shocked. Before they could figure out how to deal with it, the soldiers of the border had already sprinkled buckets of turtle oil.
The sulphur oil was poured on the roof of the chariot and the surrounding soldiers, and then torches were thrown down.
Just as he heard a cry, the tincture oil burned, and in a moment, a sea of fire turned into a front of the city gate.
The rushing car was instantly burned into a train, and the soldiers of the Xifan army around them also turned into firemen.
People were covered in fire, rolling around, struggling, shouting, and some people jumped into the moat and then never floated up again.
A rusher was burned down, and the Xifan army immediately pushed up the second rusher.
This time, before the soldiers of the border army poured the turbulent oil, the soldiers of the capital had poured the turbulent oil down first, and then threw the torches downwards.
Huhuhu--
In the blink of an eye, the second rusher was also flooded by flames. At the same time, a group of soldiers from the Xifan Army were affected by flames and were burned to death in front of the city gate.
When you are on the top of the city, you can smell the burnt smell of meat floating up from below.
However, the Xifan Army had the spirit of reluctance to give up.
Two rushers were burned down in succession, and subsequent rushers were still being pushed up.
From a distance, there were already long queues of rushing cars.
Li Yu on the top of the city frowned secretly. If so many rushing cars were to burn one by one, he would probably not burn it all even if he used up all the turtle oil.
He turned his mind, called the golden crow over, and explained: "Jin crow, let the Feiwei and the Iron Guard follow me!"
As he spoke, he turned around and ran down the city.
Liang Pi's eyes were very sharp, and he immediately followed Li Yu and asked, "Duoyu, where are you going?"
Li Yu walked down the steps and said, "There are too many rushing cars in the Xifan Army and I can't finish it. I plan to go out of the city to fight!"
Liang Pi was stunned at first, then said with his eyes lit up: "I'll go with you!"
Li Yu turned his head to look at Liang Pi and asked, "Are you afraid of dying from the battle outside the city?"
"You are not afraid, what else am I afraid of?"
Liang Pi said disapprovingly.
Li Yu smiled and said, "Okay! Let's go out of the city and have a big fight with the Xifan army!"
While speaking, the two of them had already run down the wall steps and came to the city gate.
The city gate was reinforced with Zhou soldiers. People were holding thick wooden stakes.
Soon, Jinwu, Lu Chi, Feiwei and Iron Guard all came to the city gate, and people's eyes fell on Li Yu.
Li Yu said to the soldiers in the city gate: "Open the city gate!"
When the soldiers heard this, they were all shocked.
Now they can't even hold on to the city gate, and His Highness wants them to open the city gate?
The city gate captain hurried forward, intervened and bowed, and said, "Your Highness, you must not open the city gate..."
Li Yu said in a deep voice: "The Xifan Army's rushing car is endless. How long do you think the city gate can withstand it?"
"this……"
"Open the city gate immediately! This is an order!"
The city gate captain was shocked and did not dare to say anything more. He quickly commanded the troops below to move all the wooden stakes that were holding the city gate.
Boom!
Boom-
The sound of rushing cars outside hitting the city gate continued, and each impact made the city gate tremble.
In particular, all the wooden stakes that held the city gate were removed, and the city gate tremored even more.
Li Yu took a spear from a soldier, and his body slightly tilted, making an attacking posture.
The flying guards and the iron guards behind him all picked up the crossbows, aiming at the city gate.
As the city gate bolt was moved away, the city gate was directly knocked open by a thud of a rushing car outside.
The city gate below was suddenly knocked open, scaring the defenders on the top of the city.
Especially Shen Fang, his face changed drastically, his eyes widened, and he asked loudly: "Why did the city gate be knocked open?"
He repeatedly checked the city gate several times.
The gate of Huaian City is hard iron wood inside and thick copper skin wrapped around the outside. If the rusher wants to break open the gate, he will probably have to hit at least a few hundred times.
But now, the city gate has been opened...
Shen Fang didn't know that Li Yu was going to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight the enemy, and he would not have thought that the city gate was not broken open by the enemy, but was opened by Li Yu's order.
Just as the defenders on the top of the city were shocked, a large group of people suddenly rushed out of the city gate.
A sharp-eyed soldier pointed at the city and shouted repeatedly: "Your Highness! It's Your Highness!"
When Shen Fang heard this, he was shocked and quickly held the arrow pile with his hand and looked down.
you do not say!
The one who took the lead in the charge, isn’t Li Yu or who?
After seeing this, Shen Fang buzzed his head, why did Your Highness go out of the city to fight?
Liang Ping was also shocked.
Of course, he not only saw Li Yu, but also saw his stupid son, Liang Pi, who was following Li Yu.
