Chapter 1112 Siege
Kaiping is several hundred miles away from Xinghe Fort, and the distance cannot relieve near thirst.
How many people are there in the enemy? Is it the main force or the partial division? Who is the main general?
With these questions in mind, Fang Xing personally led two thousand cavalry out of Yehu Ridge.
In one day, I woke up and arrived at Xinkaikou Village.
Seeing the army, the people in the village flocked out and asked about the situation of the enemy.
It is backed by Yehu Ridge, and the broken Great Wall is the defense line of Daming in Yehu Ridge.
"Everyone has left, I went to the city wall yesterday."
After a cripple came over to salute, he said numbly: "Sir, those city walls are no longer possible. If the enemy attacks forcibly, then those people will not be able to defend!"
Fang Xing saw him wearing a military uniform and said, "No obstacle! This time I led my army to come, and there will be a large army in the future, and the enemy will not come! Let's stay peacefully."
Since Fang Xing brought cavalry, the people in the village thought it was an enemy raid, and everyone carried a baggage and dragged their children and looked like they were about to escape.
"Little Ma Biao has met Mr. Bo."
The cripple suddenly saluted, Fang Xing's heart moved and asked, "How do you know my identity?"
The cripple said: "In the Ming Dynasty, all those who use firearms are heard that only Jubaoshan Guards and Zhuquewei are the ones who dare to guess."
Fang Xing said, "In this way, our troops will be stationed here tonight, so there will be no room left, but where will the firewood be cut? How many of you guys will lead the way."
Don't want a house?
Ma Biao was stunned, but Fang Xing lost his patience. He turned around and ordered: "Go and pick up Fang Wu and the others immediately. Remember to send a signal when encountering the enemy!"
A thousand cavalry set out, but woke up but were worried.
There is a temple in the village where the East and West worshipers cannot recognize it, but now it is his residence.
...
In the middle of the night, Fang Xing still didn't sleep. He was looking at the map, guessing Alutai's intention over and over again.
At this time, Fang Wuzheng and his scouts touched him on the mountain range near Yehu Ridge.
“It’s so fucking cold!”
With the infrared telescope in his hand, Fang Wu led his men to avoid several enemy rangers and then ran all the way.
...
It was dawn, and Fang Wu saw Xinghe Fort from afar.
"Sir, they are all enemies!"
There were tents in sight, dotted with stars, surrounding the entire Xinghebao.
“How many people?”
Fang Wu looked and asked, mainly focusing on whether Xinghebao was lost.
This is a troublesome job, and the scouts must observe whether the enemy is performing an "empty city plan".
Half an hour later, when Fang Wu confirmed that Xinghe Fort was still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, the result came out.
"Sir, about fifty thousand people."
Fang Wu loosened his hand, and the telescope fell down, and finally was pulled by a rope hanging around his neck.
"Let's wait."
Fang Wu took the lead in sitting down, then took out the dry food and drinking water and ate silently.
Everyone knew what he was waiting for, no one spoke, and there was only the sound of chewing in the woods.
Half an hour, one hour...
"Sir, the enemy has moved!"
Fang Wu suddenly bounced up from the ground and picked up the telescope to look.
Within sight, the enemy was gathering, and then squads rushed towards Xinghe Fort, but no arrows were shot in the fort.
"I hope they can hold on, we'll go back right away!"
Just as Fang Wu turned around and left, on the wall of Xinghe Castle, Zhang Yu looked at the enemy below with a pale face and rushed towards him, and then opened his bow.
"Raising the shield..."
Zhao Xinbang shouted loudly, and the city wall was filled with shields.
"Bang!"
A rain of arrows rose from the city, and after reaching the highest point, it hit hard again.
Yu Sanhuo hid under the shield. Hearing the jingling sounds on his head, he suddenly let go of the shield and popped out in an instant.
"Mad! We just changed our guard to Xinghe Fort and encountered this. Sir, let's go back to build a temple? Let's burn incense!"
Experienced generals know that the greatest possibility of the enemy at this time is to attack, or continue to use arrow rain to suppress the city.
Under the city, the enemy troops who had just shot arrows to suppress them pointed at the top of the city and laughed, then rode their horses back.
There was no offense, no continued suppression.
Yu Sanhuo wiped away the oily sweat from his fat face and shouted at Zhang Yu not far away: "Sir, this is still the routine! It must be a fight for help!"
Zhang Yu looked at the distance, where there was a group of people, who were immediately looking at this place.
Arutai must be there!
Zhang Yu turned around and ordered, "Let the brothers be prepared, and Dingkou in the city be prepared, telling them that once the city is broken, they will either be captured and become slaves, or Alutai will kill everyone to boost morale!"
Why boost morale?
The city is silent!
Only when the attack is still necessary will the city be massacred to boost morale!
All eyes turned to the left, and there was Yehu Ridge!
As long as you break through the Yehu Ridge line, Wanquandusi will not have the ability to block the Alutai army. The entire Xuanfu will be strong and clear, and the beacon will be ignited all the way to Peiping.
The war begins!
what do I do?
Zhang Yu lowered his head and thought, surrender was impossible!
So……
Zhang Yu looked up, and as soon as his pupils were reflected in the group of galloping enemies, Zhao Xinbang roared: "The enemy attack..."
Accompanied by this roar and the horns, teams of cavalry rushed forward in turn and suppressed the city with bows and arrows. Then thousands of enemy troops rushed over with cloud ladders.
"Bang!"
Countless bowstrings were loosened, and arrows covered the city like dark clouds.
The arrow rain was too dense, so that the shield was also omitted, and the screams suddenly shook the already panic-hearted heart.
Zhang Yu took the risk of pushing his shield on his head and looking down. When the infantry rushed to the front, he saw half of the enemy troops without armor and shouted suddenly: "There are Oirats... archers! archers!"
"Bang!"
The archers behind the city wall don't need to aim, and shoot arrows according to coordinates that they have long been familiar with.
The rain of arrows on the top of the city fell among the crowd, as if a small wave was stirred up in the sea, and it immediately returned to its original state.
"Golden juice..."
Yu Sanhuo's fat face was covered with sweat. He roared and moved through the crowd in agile shape until he saw more than ten big pots. He shouted: "Prepare..."
The golden juice with complex recipe in the big pot has been cooked countless times in the past few days, and then added water to continue to boil. It can be called the "old soup among the old soup".
One by one, the spoons were inserted into it, and the sticky liquid with the same color and the taste was even weird, and then approached the city wall.
Zhao Xinbang has also organized sword and shield soldiers, and they will be the main force of defense at the top of the city wall.
At the back, several teams of pike soldiers were on standby. If the enemy broke through the wall, their mission was to counterattack and use a spear array to drive the enemy down.
The enemy cavalry retreated, and Zhang Yu looked around and saw serious, scared, and frightened faces.
"Brothers."
A ladder happened to be on the city wall behind Zhang Yu. He pulled out his long sword and shouted: "Brothers, the Ming Dynasty is full of victories!"
"The Ming Dynasty has won thousands of victories!"
The news of Zhu Di's personal expedition to Xinghe Fort had not yet reached the news, and the desperate Zhang Yu could only fight with the belief of dying together.
"Fall down!"
A spoonful of gold juice poured down the ladder, and even armor could not stop it wherever you went.
"ah……"
The enemies on the ladder fell like gourds, but no one of the comrades followed them and continued to climb upwards.
Chapter completed!
