"It's reinforcements!"

When the fire dragon digging up at the entrance of Tianmen Mountain Gorge, Wen Hengyue patrolled the South City. After receiving the news, he dragged his tired body through eight miles long streets with several layers of roadblocks to the North City. It was more than half a day.

It's after the hour.

There was no war horse in Taiyuan City, and all the animals were slaughtered as military rations.

It is ridiculous and sad to say that the most abundant type of grain in Taiyuan City was actually a large number of leather armors raised for the northern expedition to attack Yan and the leather needed to make armor. They were boiled to satisfy hunger, and then they had all the food and fodder and all the animals were killed.

The city's defenders lasted for more than two months.

However, civilians can only eat the cores and stems of trees to satisfy their hunger, and even secretly someone changes their children to eat. This is no longer the only way for Xu Wei, Qian Zerui, and Wen Hengyue to restrain him.

Before climbing the collapsed North City Tower, Wen Hengyue was so excited that he saw the generals on the city wall, but he didn't feel much trouble in his heart.

Xuanwu Army and Xiaosheng Army were destroyed during the second northern expedition to Yan, but a large number of soldiers fled to Luliang Mountain.

Including Xinzhou, Lanzhou, Daizhou and counties near Taiyuan, after being captured by the enemy, defenders and a large number of people fled into Luliang Mountain, gathering into a large and small rebellious force, and still insisting on the enemy.

The soldiers and surrendered troops fought against each other.

In the more than a month since the main force of the enemy's troops headed south, these rebel troops tried to break out of Luliang Mountain three times to break the siege of Taiyuan.

However, compared with the guard Taiyuan City, nearly 30,000 surrendered troops were not very strong, and the rebels, with shortage of clothes and food, and the morale was even worse. They were easily defeated by the guarded surrendered troops on the periphery three times, and they were easily defeated by the guarded surrendered troops on the periphery.

Hundreds of corpses were forced to flee back to the mountains.

This also means that the soldiers and civilians in the city extinguish hope again and again and then extinguish it immediately.

Wen Hengyue thought that this time it was another rebel army that tried to tear open the enemy's blockade from the north, and he was completely unanticipated with Xu Huai's support for Taiyuan.

Apart from the various objective factors that made him feel unrealistic, he had not yet eliminated his prejudice against Xu Huai in his heart; in his opinion, Xu Huai was an ambition with ulterior motives. He had limited contact with Xu Huai, and nothing could be done yet.

Change his perception of Xu Huai.

He walked down the north city tower, exhausted and was distracted, and was still urging Qian Zerui, Xu Wei and others to climb to the top of the city.

However, the moment he climbed the city wall, his chest was suddenly impacted by strong emotions. The veins of his hands holding the wall were exposed. His body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but burst into tears.

He couldn't let tears blur his vision, and wiped it desperately, but he wiped it more and more.

There were no horses in the city, so Xu Wei sent someone to hike to Nancheng on foot. Wen Hengyue was not expecting it, and he came from Nancheng even slower.

At this time, the Chushan Cavalry had cleaned up the enemy troops on the northeast side of Tianmen Mountain. In addition to Xu Xin'an leading the vanguard troops and horses to rush to the Han army camp in Yunzhou after the defeat of the enemy, the main force of the Chushan Cavalry was also quickly in Tianmen Mountain.

The assembly was completed eastward and went south in batches.

The Chushan cavalry held a torch every two or three people, and a forced army of five or six miles long and about two miles wide had formed south of Tianmen Mountain.

This is definitely not the scale of charge that the resistance rebels in the Luliang Mountains can form.

The resistance rebels have no ability to force march late at night, not to mention night battles.

From the speed of the troops advancing in Tianshan Gate, Wen Hengyue could also see that the cavalry was driving the horses and moving quickly.

"What is Xu Junhou trying to do? Is he going to directly attack Li Chulin's thief camp? How is this possible?" Wen Hengyue's second son Wen Gejun helped his father climb to the top of the city. Seeing this scene, he was shocked and puzzled, and could he think about it.

What does Xu Huai launch a large army to charge southward in the middle of the wind and snow? Why didn’t he wait until dawn to send troops to pounce on the enemy camp?

"Xu Jun Hou Yi is not in the Han Army camp in Yunzhou, but wants to tear open the gap in the camp and meet us first!" Wen Hengyue was still thinking that Xu Huai was a person with ulterior motives and was not worthy of hope, but this

Shi wanted to hug Xu Huai and chew on him, and his voice trembled.

Qian Zerui came back to Taiyuan with the guards of several dead soldiers, so he generally adopted the strategy of receiving support that Xu Huai might have adopted. He told Xu Wei, Wen Hengyue and others that Qian Zerui risked his life to return to Taiyuan before,

I also wanted to use this to inspire the morale of the military and civilians in the city and support the reinforcements until the moment they arrived.

Xu Wei and Wen Hengyue just didn't hear it in his heart.

Wen Hengyue is an experienced general. Even in the past, he was afraid of the enemy and was deeply trapped in intrigue, bullying the lower and beating the superiors, buying official positions and other dirty things, but it is extremely cruel.

The Taiyuan Defense War and too many relatives and friends fell down beside him, so that he could be tempered.

Forcedly packed up his trembling mood, he quickly judged the intention of Chu Shanqi and shouted tremblingly: "Light the bonfire, bring all the fire-induced objects to the city wall, ignite them, and point out the direction for reinforcements."

Thousands of Chu Mountain cavalry were raising fires, and the range of torches was illuminated was extremely limited, and the range of march was so wide that most people could only travel outside the post road and in the bumpy wilderness.

The terrain east of Luliang Mountain is said to be wide, but compared with the majestic Luliang Mountain, the terrain in the north of Taiyuan City is actually quite ups and downs.

Now the wind and snow are getting heavier. If the small number of bonfires in Taiyuan City and the enemy camp on the north side are blocked by the wind and snow, thousands of Chushan cavalry will easily become confused during their journey and even lose their direction of progress.

The defenders on the city were too weak, and most of the soldiers were recruited from civilians and imperial guards after being besieged in Taiyuan. They did not undergo much strict training and were unable to leave the city to cooperate with the night battle.

What they can do now is to light more bonfires on the city walls and do their best to provide some light for the Chushan cavalry in front of the enemy's camp.

Of course, they might also open the city gates and use a trick to implicate the attention of the enemy troops stationed in the company.

Compared with the defenders, the sufferings suffered by the people in the city were even more tragic, and most people even lost the strength to get up, and they were all skinny.

Hundreds or even hundreds of people die every day from hunger and cold. When the weather gets colder, no one thinks about collecting the body.

Taiyuan has long become a dead city. When the defenders at the top of the city no longer have the strength to hold the swords and guns in their hands, the enemy will capture the entire city without any effort and then slaughter the entire city.

However, after the generals in the North City were first boiling, the news of reinforcements rushing to the city quickly spread throughout the city, and the Dead Silent City suddenly became alive.

Thousands of people were like a rebirth of their lives, and they aroused a lot of energy in their bodies to remove the dry doors and windows that were easily lit and transport them to the north city.

At this time, I didn't care about the spread of the fire. I heard that night battles outside the city needed more light, so someone directly ignited the thatched huts and lit them.

The Han Army camp in Yunzhou and the defenders on the southern camp were completely unsure of the situation. In the middle of the wind and snow, they saw soldiers and horses fighting like torrents, and their subconscious choice was also what they could do now.

The choice was to close the gate of the village, evoke all the soldiers from the camp, pick up their swords, spears, bows and crossbows, stand on the wall of the village to prepare for the battle.

The Han Army camp in Yunzhou is the closest, with the largest scale and the largest defenders, and it is impossible to attack forcefully suddenly.

The Han Army Camp in Yunzhou was built at the jaw between two low ridges. The low ridges on both sides were not very steep. You could climb over by driving a horse slowly during the day, but you could not see the dark night with no fingers, just relying on torches.

I want to force the lighting from the Low Ridge area, I don’t know how many people will fall off the horse’s back.

Now you can only go directly close to the Han army camp in Yunzhou. At this time, you can avoid the shooting of ordinary crossbows, but within the range of the crossbow.

However, there were only a dozen crossbows in the Han army camp in Yunzhou, and the loading and firing speed was slow. Even though war horses were frequently shot by giant arrows, some soldiers were shot, but Xu Xin'an did not slow down at all and fled to the distance

The meaning of hiding.

During the march, the guards around him were scattered. He blew the horn frequently and went around to the south of the Han army camp in Yunzhou at the speed of charge. He ordered all the soldiers who followed him to abandon the war horses and torches.

Cross-setting up a bonfire, picking up knives and shields, and arches and crossbows to force the formation of the Han army camp in Yunzhou to prevent Li Chulin from sending troops out from the Han army camp in Yunzhou to fight at night.

This is also to create a safe dorsal and abdominal space for the subsequent main force to bypass the Han army camp in Yunzhou and head south and launch a strong attack before reaching the camp.

The vanguards led by Xu Xin'an were all Jianrui who grew up in Tongbai Mountain since childhood. They fought side by side for many years and had been familiar with each other. The organization was scattered, but it did not prevent the rapid restoration of formation order at all. It was also carried out before the war.

Fully mobilize and enter the battlefield, everyone will directly add to the array, and there is no need to find the corresponding battalion formation.

All generals and military officials actively fought and assumed the responsibility of rectifying the array.

The main force arrived near the Han army camp in Yunzhou. If the large number of troops had to pass quickly, the queue could not be narrowed. The walls of the Han army camp in Yunzhou were not even a distance away from the Han army camp in Yunzhou. They directly pushed the

He rushed south with the rain of arrows like locusts above the village wall.

The shield held by the generals is small, which can only cover the face and the side armpits, and is too close to the enemy camp. The leather armor worn by most generals provides limited protection, not to mention the legs under the collar armor.

The troops were directly exposed, but the person who was shot in the arrow also kept driving the horse forward without saying a word.

The war horse is larger, but fortunately, the body functions of the war horse are much stronger than those of humans. Even if you hit more than a dozen arrows, before the blood is exhausted, the stimulation of the war horse is not as good as a spear to stab it hard from the chest and abdomen.

Although the company camp on the south side of the Han army camp in Yunzhou is as strong as a city, it is not a city camp after all.

First of all, the height is also the most important.

Taiyuan City included the battlement walls, which were as high as five meters above the ground.

At this distance, even if you are agile and brave, you can reach the city with the ladder, you will need to count the time as soon as possible.

During this period, apart from various interceptions from the head, there is no idea how many clusters of spikes will be shot on the flanks.

This is also a core factor in the defending army's will, tens of thousands of surrendered troops suffered heavy casualties, and it took a year to fail to capture Taiyuan City.

The construction of the camp wall is to build two rows of adjacent walls in the soil, then fill the walls with soil and tamp it with wood planks on top, and lay wooden boards on the upper side to guard the generals.

The village wall is calculated from the top of the pallet wall, which is only 15 feet away from the area; the village wall is calculated from the bottom of the pallet wall, which is only 12 feet away from the area.

Also, because I never thought that reinforcements would come from the north, the northern camp only dug a circular long moat of more than meter deep on the side close to Taiyuan City to prevent the defenders from breaking through; on the north side, it was convenient to facilitate the Han army in Yunzhou.

The contact between the battalion also saved shortage of manpower and material resources, and did not dig trenches.

The Chushan cavalry was facing the rain of locust arrows and approached the wall of the camp, without dismounting, and threw the torch directly onto the wall of the camp, and stabbed the enemy soldiers who had their guns and spears at the mercenary.

The defenders mainly use swords and shields, and can only passively block them.

The defenders did not think of placing rolling stones, wood, lime and other objects to defend the enemy on the village wall on the north side, and even moved the heavy crossbows. The Chushan cavalry had already killed the near side and lost the opportunity to launch.

The flexible Chushan soldiers stopped their horses and approached the village wall. They stood on the saddle without a ladder. They jumped directly into the cliff. Some people were constantly being beheaded, but more people were not afraid of life and death.
