Chapter 103 Lure enemy reinforcements

Seeing that his cavalry was easily penetrated into the formation, Tuoba Luye frowned deeply, "This Anti-Law Camp is really a newly formed battalion of the Han Army in Youzhou? How could there be so many cavalrymen, and they are basically well-trained. This combat power is not worse than the elite of our clan?"

Murong Kun looked very ugly when he saw his cavalry falling off his horse, "This Liu He is a relative of the Han Dynasty, and the Donghai clan is a wealthy family in Xuzhou. He must have strong support for him. Only then can there be such a group of cavalry, or this group of cavalry came from the army of the Xuzhou royal family."

As the two of them spoke, Xu Rong's cavalry had already broken through the enemy formation, and then went around a large circle from afar and plunged in again. The assault began from the other direction, and in a moment, he actually let him kill one in and out. The Xianbei cavalry fell down hundreds of cavalrymen, while Xu Rong's troops actually lost less than a hundred people.

This exchange ratio surprised Ju Su a little, "The Xianbei is strong in person, but the battlefield discipline is far inferior to the Chaolu camp."

Xu Rong killed very happily, but after rushing out this time, he had to return because Ju Shu gave him a strict order, and he had to go back and forth, and he had to go back to the city.

Reluctantly, Xu Rong looked at the opponent's cavalry that had been scattered by him, turned his horse's head and rushed towards the Zhongguan Fortress.

Ju Su watched the situation, but unexpectedly - at dusk, the left fort lost the first place, and the surviving guards retreated to the main city. Then the right fort was also shaky. He simply ordered the soldiers of the right fort to withdraw immediately. The left and right fortress was immediately occupied by Tuoba Luye, and began to threaten the Huang Zhong's position from the two sides.

Then, the death trap formed by the main city was broken with the guard castle and the main city under the cover of Tuoba Luye. Huang Zhong's troops had no choice but to shrink backwards and advance towards the main city.

After more than three or four thousand casualties, Tuoba Luye finally cleared the peripheral positions and only took over the main city of Zhongguan.

The Xianbei army stopped attacking when night fell and retreated to the camp. The attack on the outside was so difficult, which made Tuoba Luye slightly anxious, and the small guard castle was already so difficult. It was more than ten times larger than the guard castle and more than ten times more defensive soldiers lost. The attack difficulty can be imagined.

In his heart, Tuoba Luye even thought of giving up this plan, but reason told him that he must not do this. He was originally just a chief of a small tribe. He was appreciated by Murong Fu. After the tribe was destroyed, he ascended to heaven and became the left king of Murong's tribe. The tribe he commanded was far stronger than his original tribe.

The last failure has caused Murong tribe to discuss and question himself very much, but the leader of Murong Fu withstood the pressure and still gave him enough trust. If he fails this time and still gets nothing after paying such a great price, he is afraid that the leader will not be able to speak for him anymore. Murong tribe is also a tribe that speaks with strength. Even if the leader has absolute authority, he cannot keep his subordinates' mouths closed. He has no strength and is alone. If he cannot show his superior ability, how can he gain a foothold in Murong tribe?

"The order was sent to dispatch 10,000 troops to Maojingba, and escort hundreds of catapults, Mengchong cars, and siege cars. They arrived in Yaoyang tomorrow to participate in the siege." Tuoba Luye made up his mind to take down Yang Zhongguan.

Murong Kun sat aside, his face was not very good-looking. Although he was just a small commander in the clan, he was the faction of Murong Fu's house and the deputy appointed by Murong Fu to Tuoba Luye. He was the pillar of the younger generation that Murong Fu focused on training. Although he had a low official position, he had a high status.

When Tuoba Luye issued the order, Murong Kun did not object. In his opinion, it was enough for Maojingba to leave tens of people to station, and Zhongguan did need the joining of the new force. If the small Zhongguan let the brave soldiers on the grassland fail twice, he could not accept it. For many years, he had won this kind of heartbeat with the great leader.

The grassland coalition forces were resting and were preparing to launch a more fierce attack tomorrow. However, under Zhongguan City, Huang Zhong's troops were still working hard. Within a thousand steps in the main city, they all set up new positions. Rows of horse-resisting, iron thorns and huge rocks were moved out by the soldiers. Behind these obstacles, new trenches were already beginning to be excavated, and the excavated soil was built into a new chest wall. A few meters behind the chest wall was a new trenches. There were three defense lines like this.

At the front, Huang Zhong sent a small team of soldiers to dig countless small shallow pits on the ground. This was a small method that Huang Zhong learned to fight bandits against bandits and cavalry many times in the Central Plains, but it was extremely practical. Think about it, the running horse horse's hooves stepped into these small pits. With a click, the horse's hooves broke and the knight fell down. In this torrent, he could only be stepped into meat paste.

Huang Zhong's army continued to work until the second half of the night before finally setting up the connection line according to Ju Su's formation map. Huang Zhong's army retreated to the city like a cow, and the two thousand five hundred soldiers led the way up.

"Sleep, sleep all, tomorrow we will cheer for the brothers in the city." Huang Zhong shouted while walking on the city, cheering the soldiers. After two days, his 2,500 soldiers were less than a thousand, and many of them were injured. At this time, it is impossible to go to the front line with minor injuries, so they can only bandage them casually.

Ju Su didn't sleep either. He stood on the high city tower and looked at the brightly lit Xianbei camp opposite. From tomorrow onwards, there will be a truly cruel battle. How many of the five thousand soldiers and horses in the Anti-Rich camp will survive after the war?

"Today's sacrifice is for the peace of the future." Ju Su comforted himself in his heart. He had read military books, but he still could not treat human life as if he was a mustard of grass. He felt uncomfortable whenever he saw the bodies of the Han army soldiers being carried down or the wailing soldiers in the wounded barracks.

Standing on the city tower, Ju Su stood silently until dawn, "Will Tuoba Luye mobilize the garrison of Maojingba? This is the most critical point of this battle, otherwise all the sacrifices in the Chaolu camp here will be of no value."

In the early morning, an intelligence officer from the Yinyuan Association brought information that excited Ju Su. Seeing the joy on Dou Qing's face that was running hurriedly, he knew that things were developing towards the side that was favorable.

"Military advisor! Tonight, the enemy troops stationed in Maojingba began to mobilize. About 10,000 troops were escorting the catapults, Mengchong cars, and siege cars came towards Yaoyang, and they were expected to arrive at noon tomorrow."

"The fish bit the hook, but it still doesn't bite strong enough. We need to add another fire!" Ju Shu smiled.

At this time, countless smoke from cooking fires were coming out at the same time, and breakfast was already being prepared. Soon, the battle for the new day was about to begin.

Without the side restraint of the two sides of the guards, the pressure on the Qianzhao troops to the position under the city increased greatly. Tuoba Luye transferred more siege equipment and long-range strike weapons from Maojingba completely suppressed the counterattack on the city. Although the preset position under Zhongguan City was something he had never encountered in previous battles, he used his strength to break the tricks, completely brute force, and sufficient manpower to make up for the shortcomings in the means of breaking the formation. After paying a lot of casualties, he gradually compressed the living space of the Qianzhao troops, and drove him closer and closer to Zhongguan City.

Of course, as the main force attacking these positions, the small tribes that were recruited were recruited. Even if these tribes were unwilling to accept it, they had to bite the bullet and go into battle. The main force's elite Murong tribe, especially the large number of Murong tribe cavalry, are still just used as cover. In order to stimulate morale, these elite soldiers who are raising their energy will make a violent impact. At this time, the casualties of the Qianzhao tribe will increase greatly.

The city wall of Zhongguan is full of arrows, and the city has been thrown out of recognition by throwing stones. Although the city wall has not been directly threatened, at most it will last until tomorrow, and Tuoba Luye can directly attack the fortress.

As soon as the sound of the chung in the fourth round of the morning, the silent fortress boiled. Countless soldiers came out of the hidden holes under the city wall, and became busy like ants. The barbed ridges were tied to ropes and pressed on the upper wheel. During the battle, these ridges close to the city wall were put down to clean the enemy soldiers who were ants attached to the cloud ladder. After using them, they could pick them up and use them again. This was to save ridges.

More yellow crossbows, slashing crossbows were moved out, bowstrings were skeletons, and crossbow arrows were installed. The strong crossbows as thick as arms would take away a string of life every time they were fired. Piles of stones were piled under the balustrades, weighing about dozens of kilograms each. If they were smashed from the city wall of nearly twenty meters, they would break their tendons and fracture.

A wave of stench came from behind the wall. The soldiers were boiling oil and adding the collected human and animal feces to the boiling oil. The added oil contains toxins. Once poured on a person, except for the skin and flesh burns, these toxins invade and are extremely difficult to treat. Generally speaking, these people will die in pain.

Bales of arrows were brought to the city wall, and dozens of trenchers in the city were ready to go. Because they were prepared for this war, all the corresponding stone bombs were prepared very well. However, it was difficult to manufacture large trenchers and easy to damage. Therefore, even though the craftsmanship camp had sufficient power and recruited many volunteers, they could only struggle to repair the trenchers damaged a few days ago, and were unable to create new ones at all.

All the positions under the city were lost, and Ju Su retreated all the Qianzhao troops to the city at night. The fierce battle of a day made the Qianzhao troops suffer greater losses than that of Huanggai troops. Although it caused huge casualties to the enemy, the Qianzhao troops have reduced their personnel to only 800.

One night, Ju Su still organized his personnel to send densely packed horses and iron thorns to cover the ground under the city, effectively killing the opponent's personnel, which was his main target.
