Chapter 260: Brutal Attack and Defense

The bombardment of fire and thunder bombs is still going on. The Wei army, let alone organizing an siege, is slowly losing its stability. They can hear the booming explosions and see with their own eyes the terrible damage caused by the explosion of fire and thunder bombs.

The scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere had already made Wei Jun panic and terrified.

The Wei soldiers outside the other three city gates were completely confused. They could only hear the explosions and chaos in the southern city, but they had no idea what was going on.

"Let's do it! Since the Wei army doesn't have a long memory, let them see the combat power of our Yanbei cavalry," Zhou You said calmly, and Yan Ting turned around and left with a fanatical fighting spirit on his face.

Just a moment later, after several shellings, the explosion suddenly stopped, but then the south gate of Beishuo City opened, and amid the deafening sound of horse hooves, Yan Ting, who was leading the way, and his commander Yan Beijingqi pierced the Wei army like a sharp knife.

In the military formation, the bloody killing began...

The cavalry's penetration tactics have always been one of the classic fighting methods that make the cavalry invincible. The Wei army in chaos was unable to organize an effective defense and was caught off guard. Faced with the wolf-like and tiger-like Yanbei Jingqi, it was really like

It turned into a herd of sheep and began to run away.

The chaotic fighting continued. Wherever Yanbei's elite cavalry passed, they were harvesting the lives of the Wei army like chopping melons and vegetables, making the Wei army outside the city even more chaotic.

However, after all, the Wei army had 200,000 to 300,000 troops. Faced with Yan Ting's sudden attack and attack from the city, Yuan Qi quickly reacted and ordered Wei Shuye to lead the Wei army's cavalry to attack, and at the same time personally led the main force of the rear army to meet them.

After the Wei army reorganized their fighting strength, and the Wei army who attacked the east and west gates also came to the rescue, facing the Wei army's counterattack and encirclement, Yan Ting, who had been killed for a while, had to retreat to the city.

Immediately afterwards, Yanbei's trebuchet was launched again, and fire and thunder bombs poured down, causing the Wei army's formation outside the city to become chaotic again.

After suffering a setback in the first battle and losing all their energy, Yuan Qi not only failed to send an order to withdraw his troops, but instead ordered an siege in anger.

"Haha... so happy! In this battle, the Wei army suffered at least 10,000 or 20,000 casualties. It's so happy to win," Yan Ting, who was stained with blood, returned to the top of the city with an excited look, looking at the Wei army who was desperately rushing to attack the city.

, couldn't help but be stunned: "If you don't retreat like this, you still want to attack the city? Will Yuan Qi know how to fight?"

"If he knows how to fight, we will have a headache! After all, the number of Wei soldiers is several times that of ours, and we can't afford it!" Zhou You smiled and said: "Now, Yuan Qi is confused and wants to show off his courage.

For us, this is a good opportunity, a good opportunity to drain the strength and morale of the Wei army. Send the order, don't hit too hard yet, save the use of firearms."

Yan Ting, who nodded slightly, couldn't help but smile and said: "You are afraid that Yuan Qi will react quickly and retreat, so you want to give him some hope bait!"

"We can only confuse him for a while and let the Wei army suffer as many casualties as possible," Zhou You shook his head and said with a smile: "Even if Yuan Qi gets hot-headed, he will always have calm Wei army generals around him. If he cannot attack for a long time, he will be reminded.

.As long as Yuan Qi is not really out of his mind, he will naturally withdraw his troops."

After Yan Ting sent the order, the Wei army and the Yanbei army engaged in an offensive and defensive battle of attrition for about a meal. Under Wei Shuye's persuasion, Yuan Qi slowly calmed down and saw the Wei army's casualties increasing, and he was completely distraught.

Morale was lost, so we could only grit our teeth and issue orders to withdraw our troops.

"Haha... the retreat was quite fast! However, in this battle, the Wei army suffered at least 20,000 to 30,000 casualties. They lost one-tenth of their troops in the first battle. I wonder what the emperor's expression would be like when he received the military report?

"Seeing the Wei army retreat, Zhou You suddenly laughed.

Yan Ting on the side also smiled and said: "The key is that morale has been frustrated. The Wei army has lost its edge, and the pressure we will face will be less. Zhou You, tell me, Yuan Qi dares to tell the story of this battle."

Tell the emperor? I'm afraid, he will try his best to suppress the military report, and he will be eager to win another battle to save the situation."

Zhou You smiled noncommittally: "If he is eager to win, he must have a chance to win. Do you think, in order to prevent such a good opponent from being replaced by Emperor Wei, should we give him a chance?"

"Give him a chance? A chance to die? It seems that you can't do it for the time being. When we can't defend Beishuo City, it won't be too late to retreat," Yan Ting was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a slight hesitation.

After glancing at Yan Ting, Zhou You's smile grew thicker and he immediately said: "Yuan Qi will make a comeback soon, so prepare yourself and be ready to fight a tough battle."

Next, just one day later, Yuan Qi, who had repaired and prepared the siege equipment, once again led his troops to Beisuo City, and then stormed the south gate of Beisuo City in one go.

Although Yanbei's firearms are powerful and the power of fire and thunder bombs is astonishing, in the face of the waves of desperate attacks by the Wei army under Yuan Qi, the loss of fire and thunder bombs is also very large. If the attack continues like this, it won't be long before the Yan army in the city will be destroyed.

The Northern Army is about to run out of ammunition and food!

"What a madman!" The war lasted for most of the day. Seeing that it was already evening, the setting sun was like blood, and the Wei army, which suffered heavy casualties, still had no intention of retreating, Yan Ting couldn't help but cursed with red eyes and a frown.

Zhou You also squinted at Yuan Qi, who was probably also red-eyed in the Wei army's formation in the distance: "You really didn't care about the casualties or the cost."

"Give him a hard blow! Otherwise, it will be endless," Zhou You said coldly with a frown. After Yan Ting left in response, the Yanbei army's counterattack soon became fierce.

At the same time, the fire bombs that had been dormant for a long time were thrown out again.

Finally, amidst the screams of explosions, the Wei army finally retreated, leaving behind a bloody battlefield outside the city that was in disarray and littered with corpses. The corpses under the city were piled up like a slope, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and burning.

The smell of corpses.

As night fell, the General's Mansion, Zhou You and Yan Ting couldn't help but frown slightly as they listened to the quartermaster's report. Today, in the face of Yuan Qi's crazy attack, although they defended Beishuo City, they also caused heavy casualties to the Wei army.

, but the Yanbei army also suffered a lot of casualties, and the loss of firearms, arrows and other materials made the two of them grin and feel distressed.

"There is no way to continue fighting like this!" After the quartermaster left, Zhou You frowned and said in deep thought. Yan Ting on the side raised his eyebrows: "Zhou You, do you want..."

Zhou You glanced at Yan Ting and smiled slightly: "You have thought of it too, haven't you? Do you think Yuan Qi will be on guard tonight?"

"Preparation is a must. How can it be so easy to attack the Wei army's 200,000-strong military camp? If you are not careful, you will fall into a trap," Yan Ting frowned and shook his head.

But Zhou You smiled calmly and said: "There are many ways to steal a camp. Sometimes, you don't need to get too close to the Wei army's camp to make a sneak attack and cause chaos. Yan Ting, make preparations in advance. I will lead you first.

When you leave the city and find that the Wei army camp is in chaos, lead your troops to kill them."

"Don't you have a way to move the trebuchet outside the city?" Yan Ting asked in confusion: "Zhou You, how do you want to attack the Wei army camp?"

"Don't ask any more questions. You will know when the time comes. Just wait for my news!" With that said, Zhou You didn't wait for Yan Ting to say anything more and left the city directly.

At night, on top of Beishuo City, seeing Zhou You leading a horse out of the city with only about a hundred people, Yan Ting couldn't help but become more and more confused: "Only such a few people? What on earth is being carried on the horse's back?"
