Chapter 327 Chu Bai: I can lend you soldiers, but I want Miss Lin 2
"Order!"
The Northern General received the order, waved his flag, and shouted:
"All troops, listen up! Speed up, push down the wall ahead, and attack Anguo with all your might!"
The soldiers received the order and quickly formed up and advanced, shouting loudly:
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The soldiers' footsteps were in unison, the charge horn sounded up into the sky, startling the snow eagle hibernating in its nest.
There were 600,000 troops, and as they walked, the shaking of the earth became more and more obvious.
The gate of Dongling City is a hundred feet high. If the enemy wants to attack the city wall, the first thing they need to do is to use catapults to weaken the defensive capabilities of their city wall.
The battle horn has sounded, and the Northern Jue soldiers, armed with spears and swords, have begun to charge in formation.
Xiao Yun ignored the Northern Jue soldiers charging below and focused his eyes on their catapults in the distance.
Seeing the catapults stop, Xiao Yan knew that they were going to use the catapults to attack.
Waving the flag in his hand, he said in a deep voice:
"Get the trebuchets ready, one thousand steps northwest, fire!"
Huge rocks rolled down from the sky, and the first one hit one of their catapults directly, destroying it on the spot.
The soldiers around the boulder were directly knocked away and crushed, with countless casualties and wailing.
As the attackers, they did not have the advantage that the defenders had.
Rong Jun looked at the huge rocks that kept coming down, gritted his teeth, and said angrily:
"Quickly equip your trebuchets and launch an attack! Smash their city walls."
Those soldiers quickly filled in, but were hit by another round of boulders, and most of the soldiers who had just filled in were killed or injured.
Rong Jun's face suddenly turned terribly gloomy. He knew that An Guo's catapult was aimed at them.
In war, catapults are more precious than human lives.
Unlike the soldiers, who could be replaced if they died, the trebuchet was gone if one was missing.
He growled in a low voice:
"Shield bearers, step forward and protect the trebuchets as they retreat!"
The trebuchets slowly withdrew from the attack range of the Anguo trebuchets, and during the evacuation process, another one was blown up by a huge rock.
Seeing them withdrawing the catapults, Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and waved the command flag, saying:
"Stop, trebuchet number one, keep an eye on the other trebuchets, and the other trebuchets, stand by!"
The game started off badly, and Rong Jun was so angry that he stood up from his seat.
"Who is in command on the other side?"
The general stood beside him and bowed respectfully, saying:
"According to reliable information, the Third Prince of Anguo, Xiao Yan, will personally be in charge of the Dongling City this time!"
"Xiao Yan?"
Rong Jun uttered these two words slowly, and his originally gloomy eyes suddenly turned into interest.
He had of course heard of Xiao Yun's name, and more than once.
The most handsome man in Anguo, the most talented scholar in Kyoto, the most favored son of the old Emperor Anguo, he entered the throne at the age of six and listened to the will of heaven with important ministers. At the age of eight, he drafted the merchant reform. Although he had been away from Beijing for six years, the old Emperor Anguo still kept his position as the crown prince for him. Two years ago, he lost the defense map of the East Territory, and the old emperor simply demoted him to a prince and sent him to the East Territory...
He had long wanted to compete with such a gifted child of destiny!
Rong Jun snatched the flag from the general and said majestically:
"All soldiers, listen up! Attack with all your might. Break through their city walls. Whoever captures Xiao Yin's head will be made a marquis and appointed prime minister! The first person to reach the city wall will be rewarded with ten thousand gold coins!"
As Rong Jun finished speaking, dense crowds of people rushed towards the city wall, too numerous to count.
Cheng Liang wielded his sword and his shouts shook the sky. With every step he took, he could feel the earth shaking.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The soldier who was sprinting found that An Guo on the opposite side was completely motionless and said:
"Is the other party scared silly? Why is he not moving?"
"Is there an ambush?"
"What kind of ambush could there be? If there really was an ambush, we would have already rushed to the foot of their city wall. Even if there was an ambush, we would have already climbed up their city wall long ago. Hahahaha!"
"I guess he has never seen so many people before and was frightened. After all, I heard that many people in the East Territory have never been to the battlefield..."
Just as they were about to take the ladder and climb up the city wall, Xiao Yan spoke:
"Archers ready, rockets, shoot!"
One after another, the flaming arrows fell like drizzle, hitting not the people but the land beneath their feet.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed:
"There's a fire..."
"It's kerosene, retreat!"
"Get out!"
"I can't retreat. There are people behind me!"
"We are surrounded by a circle of fire. No, there is kerosene all under our feet. We have become the fuel and are about to be burned to death..."
The flames spread rapidly and shot up into the sky.
A raging fire was raging outside the wall, and thick smoke was choking people to the point of suffocation.
The soldiers' clothes, hair and bodies became the best fuel at this moment.
They wailed, fled, and trampled...
The crackling sound of the flames mixed with the screams of those people, and the entire area outside the city seemed like hell on earth.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, devouring them until they were no longer breathing, their flesh crackling and finally burning to ash.
The fire spread for two full hours. In less than half a day, An Guo, without any effort, inflicted the loss of more than 10,000 elite soldiers and two catapults on the Northern Jue.
This is absolutely a huge shame for Rong Jun! It is also a shame for Bei Jue!
His eyes seemed to be spitting fire and his face was extremely gloomy.
Across the sea of fire, he looked at Xiao Yan on the city wall, wishing he could cut him into pieces with his eyes.
"These damned Anguo people, once I reach their city walls, I will tear them into pieces."
"We will also hang them up and make them into jerky, and distribute them to the people of Anguo after we win the battle..."
Compared to Beijue's angry roar, the Anguo soldiers in Dongling City were not as excited as expected about this beautiful victory.
Because they knew that the soldiers they killed were just a drop in the bucket compared to the 600,000-strong Northern Jue army.
The Beijue people suffered such a great loss. Once the fire subsides, they will surely face crazy revenge and attacks.
The wailing downstairs continued and the fire was still burning. Xiao Wei withdrew his gaze, picked up the map, called a few generals, and arranged the next battle plan.
"Dongling is our main battlefield. We are more familiar with the terrain than they are. General Yang will gather 2,000 troops and use the secret passage, covered by the forest, to cross Pingpo Mountain and go around to Wuzhi Cliff to cut off their left wing reinforcements. We will do everything we can to delay them for three days!"
"My subordinates have the order!"
A young general bowed and accepted the order.
"General Li, you lead one thousand soldiers and five hundred beastmasters to Liangrao Valley and cut off their right wing support."
Although these beastmasters are not as powerful as Qingchuan, the combined power of so many people is terrifying.
"My subordinates have the order!"
"General Wang, lead 500 scouts to disrupt and burn their food supplies."
"My subordinates have the order!"
Xiao Yan looked at them and clasped his fists in return.
"This battle is very difficult. The enemy has a large number of troops. Before reinforcements arrive, we can only nibble away at their forces bit by bit. Generals, please be careful!"
"Yes! Even if it means sacrificing our own lives, we will definitely fulfill the Third Prince's order!"
The generals responded in unison, then retreated to prepare.
Xiao Yan turned his head to look at the blazing fire. Suddenly, Feng Xin came running over, handed over a letter, and reported:
"Master, there is a letter from the Red Swallow Kingdom."
Chiyan Kingdom?
Xiao Yun frowned slightly, took it and unfolded it.
The handwriting above is vigorous and vigorous, with the strokes twisting and turning.
It started with an official greeting. Xiao Ying read it quickly until he saw that it said that they were willing to lend 100,000 soldiers, but wanted to form an alliance with Anguo, and it specifically asked for the second daughter of Duke Lin. Xiao Ying was so angry that he laughed.
