Liu He was quite surprised by the smoke and dust that rolled out from afar and the troops that appeared in their sight. Tuoba Luye not only had cavalry, but also the troops of the brigade and some large siege equipment they guarded. Looking at the opponent's men, I was afraid there would be 20,000 to 30,000 people.

"Hansheng, prepare for battle, the enemy is going to attack the city!" Liu He said with a long spear.

After hearing this, Huang Zhong ran to the city tower a few steps, picked up the drum beat, and beat the war drum desperately, "Han men, the bandits are here, prepare for battle!"

He waved his arms and beat the drum, and the tassels fluttered. The soldiers on the city were awakened by the sound of drums. Looking back at the city tower, Huang Zhong's beards were erect, and his beards and armored war robe were fluttering in the wind, and a sudden burst of excitement in his chest.

"Kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy!"

Everyone shouted together.

"My sons, Bensai City is high and steep. Not to mention 20,000 to 30,000 enemies, what can it do if it is 50,000 enemies? Let's still make him lose face. Military Advisor Ju is rushing back, and Xu Bingcao's reinforcements are also on the way. As long as we wait for a day, we can win!" Liu He raised his arms and shouted to boost morale.

At this time, Huang Zhong whispered: "Lord, we want to withdraw the people from the Guard Castle. The two Guard Castles are seriously insufficient, and there are only more than a hundred people. Putting them there is only to die. If you withdraw, you can help you defend the Lord's Stop."

Liu He did not speak, and looked at the two guards not far away, with sad eyes, "You can't retreat. The two guards are powerful barriers for our army. If the enemy forces occupy the guards, we can suppress our left and right wings from the guards. With the Xianbei bow and horse level, our left and right wings will definitely suffer heavy losses. What's more, people can withdraw from the two guards, but the big yellow crossbow cannot be withdrawn. If the other party shoots us with the big yellow crossbow, what do you do?"

Of course, Huang Zhong knew the role of the Guard Fort on the Main Pass, but there were all Han army brothers there. It won’t take long to put them, and it will become an isolated island, which will directly attract firepower.

"Are we just watching them die?" he argued loudly.

Liu He closed his eyes and said, "Tell the brothers in Weibao that the longer they persist, the greater the hope of our victory. Please fight to the death for the country and the people who want to Yang!"

Tuoba Luye stood under the fortress, looking at the majestic and sturdy fortress, and couldn't help but feel proud: "The Zhongguan Iron Mine is about to return to my Xianbei."

In a short period of time, he recruited dozens of small tribes including the nearby Duoye tribe, the Hero tribe, and the Fuyu tribe, forming an army of 30,000. Together with the 5,000 elite troops of the Murong tribe he commanded, he captured more than 2,000 people who were left behind in Zhongguan. How could it be a problem?

"To take down this barrier, we must first take down these two guards. These two guards now only have one or two hundred Han troops in Dingzhou Army. Which leader takes this merit?" Tuoba Luye looked around at the tribe leaders around him.

"The King of the Left Division, my tribe is willing to go!" The two tribe leaders stood up, they were Qianniu Division and Fufei Division, both of whom were die-hard followers of Murong Division.

"Okay!" Tuoba Luye was overjoyed: "Take the fortress and you will get two of all the spoils after you capture the fortress."

The other tribe leaders couldn't help but show regret on their faces, and attacked a fortress guarded by one or two hundred people with one force. It was not easy to capture, but he was slowing down, but let these two guys take the lead.

Duoerguen, the head of Qianniu tribe, and Ajige, the head of Fuyu tribe, proudly rushed towards their tribe members. After a moment, the two people rushed out. Because they were attacking the guard castle, the horses had lost their function. Both of them were dismounting and fighting in the field, holding weapons, carrying cloud ladders, and screaming towards the guard castle. Most of Tuobaluye slowly pressed forward to prevent the main subway from providing assistance to the guard castle.

After seeing the flag whispers on the Lord's block, the soldiers of the two forts had already felt the same as death. Li Zhong, the chief of the left guard, smiled and looked around: "Brothers, we are going to die. Before we die, let's take a few more people on their backs!"

More than a hundred people in the village screamed together, with a ferocious look on their faces. They were dead on the left and right, so they would find a few more companions before they died. At the same time, the same story happened to the Right Guard. Soldiers with a determined desire to die rushed to the various parts of the Guard Castle, with fierce eyes and staring at the Xianbei who was pressing forward.

The unique roar of the yellow crossbow broke the tranquility before the war. The powerful crossbow bow shot into the crowd. The dense crowd of Qianniu tribe was immediately shot out of an alley. As thick as a child's arms, a giant crossbow arrow about four feet long strung up like a gourd. The remaining strength was not enough, knocking down a large area of ​​people behind them.

"Okay!" The soldiers in the fortress shouted, and several people worked together to re-string the yellow crossbow. Each fortress was equipped with two yellow crossbows, with a range of about 800 steps. At this distance, the Xianbei could only be beaten.

There are dozens of cavalry flying out of each part, and the cavalry is fast. Once the yellow crossbow is fixed, it is difficult to change the angle. Su Xing ignores the rushing cavalry. The cavalry rushed to the fort dozens of steps, drew arrows, and suppressed and shot the fort. The sound of arrows roaring. These Rongdi were all well-known and accurate. If the soldiers on the fort were not careful, they would be shot and killed. Although they were blocked by armor, if they were shot into the vital points of the face, they would also be killed with one blow. Injured soldiers began to appear on the fort.

Although the great yellow crossbow crossbow is powerful, its firing rate is slow. Only about two crossbow arrows were shot out from the two guard forts. The siegemen who were running wildly rushed to the bottom of the guard fort. The ladder was set up, and the soldiers of the two tribes began to climb up the ladder like ants.

"Let the bell!"

The soldiers guarding the fort pulled the ropes and the Ringmu, hanging on the discs of the fortress, yelled down with a loud sound. The autumn wind swept the fallen leaves and beat the enemy on the ladder. The person who was directly hit by the Ringmu was naturally broken and his bones were broken, and he could not die anymore. Even if he luckily avoided Ringmu, he would inevitably break his hands and feet when he fell from about ten meters high. In a blink of an eye, there were a layer of corpses and a group of screaming wounded soldiers under the Fortress.

"Prepare the stone!" Li Zhong shouted: "Blast it for me!"

There are too many enemies under the fort, so you don’t need to see them. Just throw the stone down and you can hit the enemy. A group of soldiers picked up the stone and rushed forward.

"Bowman, archer, suppress the opponent's cavalry for me!"

After a fierce attack, Qianniu tribe and Fufei tribe watched with all their might. Not to mention taking down the Guard Fort, even the walls of the Guard Fort did not climb up.

Seeing the enemy retreating like a tide, Li Zhong let out a long sigh and sat on the ground. This was just the beginning, and there would be a greater hard battle next. Looking around at the soldiers, more than a dozen people could never stand up. Most of them were shot directly into the gate by the bows and arrows under the city and died.

"The Rong Di who was killed in heaven was shooting very accurately." Li Zhong carefully poked his head out of the disc, and the enemy began to gather again. This time they took the lead with a big shield, "This guy is coming so fast!"

Qianniu tribe and Fuyu tribe just underestimated the enemy, thinking that the fort guarded by one or two hundred people had not taken it down in one charge. However, they did not know that these fortress guards had been searching for hundreds of years and had prevented all siege methods. With their temporary courage, they really had no other way except to die.

Seeing the Guard Castle easily repel the enemy's first attack, the Lord's Squad burst into cheers, but Liu He and Huang Zhong knew that the first wave was just a tentative attack, and the next was the real hard battle. But the morale was boosted but not vented.

"Did you see that there are only two brothers in the Guard Fortress, which can make the enemy unable to be defeated. There are two thousand people here, and thousands of people as supporters. If you want to conquer Zhongguan, there are no gates!" Huang Zhong shouted enthusiastically.

But that night, the two guards were still lost, and more than 200 soldiers in the two guards had all been killed in battle. However, the commander of the Zuo Tunnel Li Zhong did the last thing before falling, which was to break the bow strings of the heavy yellow crossbow and some major components and burn them down, so that the two heavy yellow crossbows in the guards could no longer threaten the main stop.

Qianniu tribe and Fuyu tribe each paid four or five hundred people to take down the two guards. They were so angry that they were in great pain. Hundreds of elite soldiers were a small family for a small tribe like them. After taking the guards, the two teams no longer participated in the attack on the main subway. They just occupied the guards and suppressed and fired the main subway on the fort, hoping that after winning Zhongguan, they could compensate for the spoils. At this time, the two leaders were really crying. Who would have thought that a small fortress with a mere hundred people would have such combat power?

When the guard castle fell, the main gate was immediately besieged, and two thousand soldiers could not defend all the city walls. At this time, the young and strong people gathered in Zhongguan in Yang County rushed to the top of the city with swords and guns. Huang Zhong simply assigned some of their veterans as temporary commanders and sent them to the front line.

"Dump the stone, pour the boiling oil, push the pounding wood, and cut down the enemy who climbed up, that's all!" The veteran told Qingqiang very simply.

The blood on the top of the city, the corpses piled up under the city, and the dense feather arrows in the sky made the young people who were holding hoe handles, holding abacus, or holding books not long ago pale, their legs were trembling, and they could hardly move. The veteran was impatient and dragged them to the city wall and pointed to the heads of the people piled up like mountains under the city: "Did you see it? Did you see it? Can't defend the city, you, me, will your heads pile up." He grabbed their heads and turned to the fortress, "Look there, there were two hundred brothers dead there just now, but look at the place where there were more than a thousand Rongdi burials at the fortress. It's worth it."
