Chapter 195: The Beginning of the Siege

Compared to the laughter and joy of the camp on the Hualie tribe, the Liao camp opposite was depressed. After experiencing the chaos of the night, the Liao soldiers were all sitting in the camp tents and lamenting each other. They felt deeply fear in their hearts about losing their war horses and being trapped in this vast grassland.

Since the war horses were lost, the troops would naturally change. Yelu Huage ordered the troops to follow the original organization, but changed the cavalry to infantry and sent them equipment suitable for infantry, so that the troops could find out how to equip themselves to be more suitable for their new identity.

After a morning of turmoil, the Liao soldiers began to build rice. The food was pretty good, with a lot of horse meat, and they wanted to eat as much as they wanted - they were cut off from dead horses on the ground. Last night, there was chaos. I don’t know how many war horses died tragically under arrows, and the horse corpse almost surrounded the Liao camp.

The Liao soldiers were eating horse meat, thinking that their beloved war horses had turned into delicious food in the pot or were snatched away by those savage slogans as mounts. They couldn't help but feel the taste, and kept wiping their tears, feeling sad, and the tears soaked their dark faces.

After lunch, Yelu Huage summoned a large number of Liao troops to gather in front of the camp and prepare to attack the enemy's camp.

The siege equipment was ready, and the Liao soldiers pushed the catapult cart out of the camp and pushed it towards the river bank.

A long distance away, a roar was already heard in the small town of Hualie's tribe opposite. A large number of huge stones crossed the sky and smashed towards this side. However, the catapult of Hualie's tribe was already the first to launch the attack.

On the grassland on the river bank, some small trees had been planted, which looked messy, but were marked in advance by Hualie's troops. When they saw the Liao army's catapult passing by the road they were scheduled, they immediately issued an order to smash the huge rock.

The catapults of Hualie's troops have undergone long-term training and are well aware of the distance of each sign. The catapults have also aimed at the predetermined position. After the order was issued, the huge rocks took off and drew a long arc in the air, crossing the river and grasslands, and smashing towards the Liao soldiers who were diligently pushing the catapults.

At a fixed speed, the catapult cart was just pushed to the position that Hualie's troops had determined, and the huge rock smashed down in a terrifying whistling sound, hitting heavily on the Liao army's catapult cart, making a huge roar.

The wooden catapult cart quickly collapsed under this blow, turning into a pile of chaotic wood, scattered on the grassland. The Liao soldiers who were pushing the catapult cart were also hit by the huge rocks. When the huge rocks rolled over their bodies, the grassland was covered with blood and blood.

The shrill screams made the remaining Liao soldiers frightened, but the huge rocks in the sky fell down one after another.

Hundreds of stone-cattering machines were scattered in the small town of Hualie's troops. Accurate stone-cattering points that had been determined in many times blocked the Liao army's offensive route, making it difficult for them to get around.

When the Liao army's catapult cart passed by, whenever it was pushed to the catapult point, it would be hit by a huge rock that fell in the sky in time and collapsed. As well as several Liao soldiers, they were crushed by the huge rocks and died tragically on the grassland.

Fear spread in the hearts of the Liao soldiers, and the sound of war drums behind them was still ruthlessly sounding, making them grit their teeth and push the catapult cart desperately until the huge rocks were smashed down and smashed them to pieces. The escaped Liao soldiers avoided the attacks of the huge rocks and fled to the rear like an amnesty.

Brother Yelu Hua looked at the scene with a glaring glaringly, and only after a while was awakened. When he urgently ordered the catapult car to stop moving forward, most of the hundreds of catapult cars had been damaged, and the rest could not be approached by the wooden city of Hualie's tribe, let alone attacking the enemy's walls with huge rocks.

Brother Yelu Hua had no choice but to order the infantry to attack and fill the moat first.

The Liao soldiers gathered into a huge army and rushed towards the city.

Like dark clouds covering the earth, watching tens of thousands of ferocious Liao soldiers rushing towards the city, the Hualie troops guards in the city became nervous and their breathing became rapid.

In the sky, huge rocks were still throwing forward continuously, falling far into the Liao army, splashing blood and being smashed to the ground. The shrill screams of the Liao soldiers spread across the grassland.

The Liao soldiers gradually accelerated and began to run. Finally, they stride and rushed towards the small town of Hualie.

The stones were still falling into the Liao army brigade, and loud orders began to be heard in the small town of Hualie in the distance. All the soldiers standing on the wooden wall raised their longbows from afar and pulled it all over.

Suddenly, a sound of a blond sounded like a bird flew in the forest. Countless sharp arrows soared from the city walls, like dark clouds flying, instantly filling the sky and shooting towards the Liao soldiers in front of them.

The Liao soldiers ran strode and raised their heads, and saw countless arrows flashing with cold light, covering the sky and shooting towards them.

They had already entered the range of arrows. Looking at the rain of arrows, the Liao soldiers sighed in despair, tried desperately to speed up their pace, rushed forward, and ran towards the rain of arrows.

The rain of arrows crossed the sky, tore the air, and shot quickly, falling into the Liao army brigade, and instantly shot on the Liao soldiers. A loud puff sound sounded violently, and the sharp arrow tip shot through the rough skin of the Liao soldiers and penetrated deep into the body.

Blood seeped out of the arrow shaft, and the Liao soldiers fell to the sky, screaming loudly. Countless Liao soldiers fell on the runway in pain, and then were ruthlessly stepped on by their companions behind them. The heavy body in armor was stomped on them, and they slapped them with a heavy blow until they stomped on the fallen Liao soldiers to death.

The surviving Liao soldiers shouted loudly, gasping violently, running forward desperately, without caring about anything, but just ran wildly to the moat, threw the sand bag on their backs forward with force, threw it into the river, then turned around and ran away, fleeing to the array of Liao troops in the distance.

In the rear, countless Liao soldiers were still sprinting wildly. When they rushed to the river, they could not hold back and knocked over the Liao soldiers who were throwing sand and stone bags and fell into the river. Then a large number of sand bags were smashed in, smashing the Liao soldiers who fell into the water and shouting loudly until they drowned.

The chaos by the river could not stop the Liao soldiers from running desperately, and a large number of sand and soil bags were thrown into the river, quickly filling the river with water.

The soldiers of Hualie's troops on the city wall were still trying hard to draw bows and shoot arrows, and keep shooting arrows forward, allowing the Liao soldiers who are rushing towards the sky to throw blood and life on this land that has become a battlefield.

The sound of trumpets sounded from a distance, and on the other side of the vast grassland, a large number of cavalry rushed towards the horse. The soldiers on the horse, all of whom were rough and violent, waved their longbows, and shouted loudly, galloping towards this side.

Looking at the Hualie army flags brought out by the cavalry over there, Yelu Huage, who was in the formation, pointed his hand and shouted loudly, ordering the cavalry to fight, drive away or eliminate the enemy soldiers.

The only 15,000 remaining cavalry in the Liao army were immediately divided into half and rushed towards the Hualie cavalry over there. Because they had enough horsepower, their speed was not much worse than that of the Hualie cavalry.

Looking at the rushing enemy army, Zhao Hu, who was responsible for leading the thousands of cavalry, shouted loudly, ordering his subordinates not to fight, but only attacked the enemy with arrows, immediately pulled his horse and turned around and ran towards the distance.

Yelu Honggu rushed towards them with a large number of cavalry, but was attacked by the oncoming rain of arrows. He had to wave his swords and guns and dial sharp arrows, and looked at the enemy cavalry who fled from horses, and cursed endlessly.

Although they have strong horsepower, the enemy is all light cavalry, and each of them has two horses, so they can change horses at any time. If they keep chasing them, it will be difficult to catch up. Instead, they will be injured by arrow rain and the cavalry that has suffered little losses.

In the rear, Yelu Huage had also ordered Mingjin to summon them back and did not allow Yelu Huage to pursue him. As long as he could drive away the enemy troops and not affect his siege plan, it would be fine.

The sound of horse galloping hooves sounded on the other side. Yelu Huage turned his head and saw a large number of cavalry galloping towards his siege troops on the other side of the grassland, still attacking the banner of Hualie's troops.

The person who led this cavalry was Bai Dela. Looking at the Liao soldiers who had killed their relatives, Bai Dela's eyes were red and his face looked fierce. He pulled out his strong bow and shot sharp arrows at the enemy from afar.

Although Baidela was the chief of the tribe who had recently defected to the Hualie tribe, he was frightened by Luo Dacheng's force and sincerely worshipped him under his tent and became his loyal subordinate. The fact that the tribe where his matriarchal relatives were located was slaughtered by the Liao army made him even more hatred for the Liao army and wanted to kill them all to avenge this bloody revenge.

Behind him, a large number of Hualie cavalry also pulled out strong bows and fired arrows at the enemy. At a long distance, they had already shot the rain of arrows into the enemy, causing many Liao soldiers to fall to the sky, and their screams were extremely shrill.

The Liao army's cavalry also ran out quickly and rushed towards Baidela's troops. These were the remaining more than 7,000 cavalry, sent by Yelu Huage to resist the possible enemy's cavalry attack.

Although he wanted to rush over and kill him hard, Bai Dela did not dare to disobey the Khan's orders. He could only shoot sharp arrows at the enemy and shouted angrily: "Retreat!"

The sound of the trumpet sounded, and the Hualie cavalry also pulled their horses and turned, drew a long arc on the grassland, running wildly towards the distance, and only poured the rain of arrows toward the chasing Liao cavalry.

Without the harassment of enemy cavalry, the Liao army's infantry rushed desperately, throwing a large number of sandbags into the moat, filling the moat with sandbags and their bodies, laying out the way for the siege troops behind to advance.

On both sides of them, the Liao army's cavalry patrolled back and forth, trying their best to avoid the huge rocks falling in the sky, and at the same time indulged their war horses and gnawed on the grasslands.
