Chapter 402: Take Yiling Lightly

"General, how could General Dongfang let our cavalry attack the city?"

In the cavalry team, Zhao Yi asked in confusion. Zhao Yi was one of the three talents Zhao Yun personally discovered in the Yizhou martial arts competition, and his combat was unstoppable.

"Cabinets attack the city? Our two thousand cavalry cannot capture the city, so just practice cavalry and shooting. There is still a big gap between our cavalry and the Qinglong Cavalry. Zhao Yi, you must not relax!"

"I will obey the order!"

Zhao Yun understood Dongfang Qiang's intention. The cavalry was just to test the enemy situation and put pressure on the defenders of Yiling City. The real siege would be bombarded by the catapult cart, which was a routine used by Dongfang Qiang to siege the city.

Usually, when hundreds of thousands of fire bombs are knocked down, the enemy is on the verge of collapse. When the infantry rushes, the enemy's defense will collapse.

...

News of the fall of Yidao County has reached Yiling City. The Wuling Army is about to enter Yiling, which has caused panic among the entire Yiling City. All capable gentry landlords have escaped from the city, and they do not want to live under the rule of the Wuling Army.

There are still five thousand defenders in Yiling City, who are considered to be under the command of the general surnamed Liu.

"Mr. County lieutenant, please transfer all the county soldiers. The Wuling army is coming soon."

When the Wuling Army was resting, the scouts on both sides had already fought first. The general surnamed Liu naturally knew the approximate location of the Wuling Army.

There is little hope of defending Yiling, but as a member of the Liu family, he will never give up easily. At most, he will sacrifice his life to the city! Anyone can surrender, but as a member of the Wuling Army, he disdains!

"General Liu, there are only one thousand soldiers in the county, and you may not be able to defend this Yiling City with five thousand soldiers. Otherwise... surrender!"

The county magistrate carefully proposed that he had heard of the policies of Yizhou. It was definitely not as exaggerated as the aristocrats said. The Wuling army was approaching, and the county magistrate had no intention of resisting.

The original Wuling County lived in dire straits. However, in Wushun's hands, the lives of Wuling people are very interesting. Wuxi Man, who used to cause trouble, has now basically integrated into Wuling County.

The yearning for a better life made the county magistrate eager for the Wuling Army to take over Yidu County.

Unfortunately, General Liu in front of him looked ugly and was on the verge of furiousness.

"The enemy is facing the enemy, and you dare to disrupt our morale! You will be pulled down and chopped!"

General Liu was furious. He was about to die for the city, but the county magistrate immediately advised him to surrender. Isn't this slap him in the face?

No matter how the county magistrate begs for mercy, General Liu just didn't plan to let him go.

Rumble ~

Smoke and dust rose in the distance, and the sound of horse hooves rolled from far to near.

"alert!"

When the Wuling army came, General Liu immediately ordered alert. He had 5,000 people, plus a thousand county soldiers who forced him to the top of the city, a total of 6,000. If the arrangements were appropriate, Yiling could guard a wave.

Zhao Yun didn't care who was guarding the city, the Qilin cavalry rushed to Yiling City all the way without any intention of slowing down.

"Cavals attack the city? I underestimate this general!"

When General Liu saw that the Wuling Army cavalry came, his nervousness suddenly decreased a lot. When the cavalry did not slow down, but rushed over directly, he became angry!

The opponent's cavalry general looked down on him! This could not be tolerated!

"Arrow ready!"

At the top of Yiling City, the archers bend their bows and arrows to prepare for the launch!

General Liu's eyes widened and he was waiting for the Qilin Cavalry to enter the range!

However, Zhao Yun disappointed him. When he was a few steps away from the archer's range, the running horse suddenly turned his head and rushed towards the other side. General Liu's word "shooting arrow" shouted to his throat was swallowed back into his stomach.

It's so uncomfortable! What are these cavalrymen doing?

"Be careful, General!"

The soldiers beside him flew over and threw General Liu down. "Ding Ding Ding Ding~" the arrow did not hit General Liu, and nailed it to the wall, making a crisp sound.

Pushing away the soldier who saved him, General Liu stood up. His attention was too focused just now, so he didn't notice that the opponent's cavalry had completed a volley while turning!

The city guards who were preparing to shoot arrows were screaming after being shot by the sudden arrows. Fortunately, the Qilin cavalry was not accurate enough, and most of the arrows were shot empty. Otherwise, the damage caused would be greater.

How elite are there for everyone to ride and shoot?

"Be careful to avoid!"

General Liu had no choice but to find that the enemy could shoot volleys. But he knew that as long as he did not show his head, it would be difficult for the enemy to hurt them.

It would be too frustrating to be just being beaten by someone.

The counterattack failed to hit the fast-moving cavalry, and the defending side of the city was extremely uncomfortable.

In such an environment, Zhao Yun prevented the cavalry from shooting again and again. It was better than the first time.

This kind of risk-free training opportunity is not always available. At this moment, Zhao Yun is very grateful for Dongfang Qiang's care.

"General, the cavalry can still be used like this, I admire you."

Zhao Yi praised Zhao Yun for his ability to command cavalry.

"The opportunity is rare, hurry up and train. Try to shoot all the arrows!"

Zhao Yun's requirements are not high. Every soldier can shoot all the arrows in his quiver and then he can withdraw his troops and rest.

When Zhao Yun was cheerful and training, Dongfang Qiang led a large army to arrive. Zhao Yun also asked the Qilin Cavalry to stop performing and return directly to the team.

"Oh my God? How many people should be there?"

On Yiling City, General Liu panicked. The courage to sacrifice to the city just now had long disappeared.

When the legions reached the designated position, Dongfangqiang decisively ordered the siege.

Yiling City, which has not been baptized by war for a long time, witnessed the violent tyrants of the Wuling Army's catapults for the first time.

"boom!"

The fire bomb hit the city wall, which always caused a tremor. General Liu was worried about how long the disrepaired city wall could withstand the bombardment.

The Wuling Army's catapults were launched one after another, and the city wall was in chaos. The city tower had long been destroyed, and fires were lit in many places.

"The Wuling Army is so terrible!"

"This fire bomb is too terrifying, what should I do?"

"Ah, Wulingjun, come on! I'm not afraid of you! Ah..."

The hearts of the soldiers guarding the city were tense. Some soldiers were too scared and stood up to fight back, but were smashed by the fire bullets falling from the sky, and the flesh was covered with flesh and blood on the ground.

The scene was too bloody and made people's stomach churn. Many soldiers couldn't bear it and vomited it out directly.

After the stone bomb was dropped, the Wuling army soldiers officially attacked the city. The three sides of the east, south and west attacked at the same time. Guan Hai and Zhao Yun were responsible for the east, Dongfangqiang were responsible for the front (south), and Gan Ning was responsible for the feint attack on the west.

Six thousand defenders were scattered on three walls, and the Wuling Army had to face only two thousand people.

The front, the well railing, the orange hammer, and the cloud ladder was strong, and the defenders could not stop them at all. Under the suppression of the well railing, the Vermilion Bird Legion easily climbed up the city wall and fought with the defenders!

To the east, Zhao Yun and Guan Hai were the first to lead the army, and their own soldiers lined up behind them to fight the enemy. The two of them climbed up from the ladder and killed all directions on the city wall.

Defeat!

Under the fierce offensive of 70,000 Wuling Army, the Yiling defenders failed to persevere for an hour.

General Liu fulfilled his long-cherished wish and sacrificed his life to the city! After his death, the defenders threw away their weapons and asked to surrender.
Chapter completed!
