Chapter 76 Fighter Reversal
Although Xuan Shaoning and Gu Hongxuan fought against the enemy evenly, the other Liang troops were not as optimistic as them. Even as the most outstanding Liang soldiers, each of the Wugong Guards and Han Dao Guards was not weak in martial arts and cooperated with each other. Unfortunately, the number of Donghu people was superior, and the other party completely adopted the tactics of the sea of people. Waves of Donghu people rushed up, leaving piles of corpses while also causing the opponent to pay a heavy price.
The Liang army that siege the city in the morning was now less than 40%. Donghu seemed to be still sending troops to fight continuously. Each Liang army had been exhausted. It took three hours and they had no chance to breathe. They had originally expected that the large troops outside the city could rush in to rescue, but only heard a loud shout of killing outside the city higher than the wave, and they never saw reinforcements.
"Give up resistance. The outside of the city is surrounded by our army. They can't take care of themselves and will not come to save you at all. If you surrender, I can let you go, otherwise I will be the sword of my Donghu warrior!" Shi Mingyu seized the opportunity to start a psychological warfare, hoping to further defeat the Liang army's inner defense.
There were already corpses everywhere outside the city. Yang Zhong cut off the head of a Donghu man and looked up around. The Donghu army climbed and bit his army on both sides. The crossbows on the top of the city took away the lives of several Liang soldiers every time they were launched. Although there were 100,000 troops, they were helplessly trapped and besieged under the city. Like the battle in the urn city, the Donghu also adopted the human-sea tactics in the battle outside the city. It is no exaggeration to say that the Donghu had already used the power of the country to fight against Daliang.
We must not fight like this anymore, otherwise the 20,000 Liang troops in the urn city would be wiped out! When Yang Zhong was about to organize a second siege, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind him, sweeping a thick ball of smoke and dust. A large army galloped towards the Donghu capital. Judging from the sound of horse hooves, there were quite a few people coming. This scene was also seen by Shi Mingyu on the Wang Tower, and he couldn't help but frown. Could it be that it was the reinforcements of the Liang army? It was not until the army got closer and the red "Liang" on the flag was seen clearly.
It was reinforcements! Yang Zhong and Shi Mingyu identified it at the same time, and the two felt very happy. "Yes, why did I forget it? Geng Yan led his army to come!" Yang Zhong's eyes were shining. Geng Yan's unit did not disappoint the brothers at all. With the advantage of a small number of cavalry, on the one hand, it broke through the encirclement of the Donghu people, and on the other hand, a large number of archers used feather arrows to press the crossbows on the top of the city so that they could not raise their heads.
"General!" Geng Yan saluted Yang Zhongyaoyao.
"It happened to be right. Wugong Guard and Han Dao Guard were trapped in the trap. Commander Geng, you are responsible for disrupting the surrounding Donghu army. I will organize the siege!"
Just as the robes around him fell one by one, Liang Jun, who was trapped in the urn, heard the sound of the city gate being hit. Who else could be in this battlefield besides his own friendly forces?
"Brothers, hold on! Our reinforcements are here!" Gu Hongxuan shouted loudly at the right time, and Xia Junmao and Xuan Shaoning immediately shouted, "Stand on! Reinforcements are here!"
Seeing hope, people's potential was discovered again, the remaining Liang army's combat power was ignited again, and everyone's fighting harder, changing the current decline.
"Absolutely, you can't let them go out alive!" Shi Mingyu bit his lips and said, "Send a dead soldier!"
A group of burly men surged out from the side gate of the inner city. Each of them was shirtless, and their bodies were painted into strange patterns in various colors. They held a mountain-opening axe in their hands and chopped them when they met. With the advantage of being one head higher than the Liang soldiers, many Liang soldiers became dead souls under the axe. Xuan Shaoning wanted to rush over to deal with these dead soldiers, but was entangled by Du Mo.
"Leave it to us!" Seeing that the main general was incompetent, Xie Yi carried a bucket of feather arrows and shot arrows at the dead soldiers, and knocked down several of them in one go. Cao Tie was not willing to be outdone. In terms of body shape, he was the same as these dead soldiers, and his weapons were similar. He pulled out the axe from his waist and chopped against the dead soldiers. After Meng Kebao received Xuan Shaoning's gaze signal, Qing Cang and Xie Yu were responsible for the way. He rushed to the city gate to organize several Liang soldiers to start shaking the chains.
"Defend those people! Let the green fire!" With Shi Mingyu's shout, the city wall began to shoot the arrows stained with green fire's feather arrows. Suddenly, several Liang soldiers following Meng Kebao fell into the blue flames, and he was forced by the feather arrows to raise his head and hid one foot away from the iron chain.
The battle of siege rose from the morning sunset to the sky. The pigeon released by Geng Yan had now stopped in the hands of King Yu. He stretched out the note and wrote: Our army was trapped and the troops were in danger. Come quickly to help!
King Yu frowned, thought for a while, and ordered: "Commander Feng, you are going to take risks again. You lead the polite guard to Xinya City to replace the left Wu Guard and the left guard, and guard our army's retreat together with General Shen!"
Feng Chu advised: "Your Highness, the last general has been in the army for thirty years. If he dies in the battlefield, he will die as his place. However, you should not go to the danger easily!"
"I call me a general in the army! I have been struggling in the Xuanjia Army for twelve years. The battlefield is the place I am most familiar with!" King Yu said resolutely, without any permission. He looked up at the setting sun that was sinking in the west, shook the reins, and rushed out like arrows.
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
A quick sound of impacting the city gate echoed in the inner and outer cities. Each impact sound was more and more visible to the Liang army; but for the Donghu people, it was a danger of failure in the plan. Even though the Donghu army besieged the Liang army outside the city at all costs, it was helpless that the gap between skills and military formations could not stop the Liang army from hitting the city gate.
On the basis that he had been knocked open once, the city gate bolt was creaking, as if he was begging for mercy and as if he was wailing before his death. Meng Kebao was forced to hide in a corner by the feather arrow, but his sight had never left the city gate. Seeing the impact of the city gate getting more and more intense, he grabbed a space and jumped down from the side gate without hesitation. When he was in the air, he slashed the door bolt with a fierce knife with a big beam and a thick back machete in his hand!
With a roar, the wooden head opened the city gate, and Yang Zhong's central army appeared at the city gate. "Reinforcements are coming!" The Liang army trapped in the city suddenly became passionate and its momentum overwhelmed the Donghu army for a while. Taking advantage of this change, the Han Dao Guard and the Wugong Guard joined forces.
"Shoot the green firefly! Shoot the green firefly!" Shi Mingyu shouted at the top of his lungs, and the beards on both sides were erected because of excessive excitement.
Siheng was very excited on the horse's back, "We came in time! Breaking open the city gate means half of success. Brothers, come on!"
Ling Feiyan was about to squeeze in, but suddenly felt the danger approaching behind him. "Dropping off the horse!" Ling Feiyan flew over and kicked Siheng hard. The two of them fell from the horse's back at the same time. Before Siheng could understand, a half-moon scimitar carried a sharp murderous aura to cut Siheng's mount into two halves. The horse's blood splattered all around Liang Jun. The half-moon scimitar turned around in the air and cut back and split Ling Feiyan's horse in two halves. Finally, he threw away all the contaminated blood and returned to the master's hand.
"It's you!" Siheng glared at the enemy not far away, and Ling Feiyan noticed that a new army had joined the battle. Perhaps she was too focused on killing the enemy and did not find any new enemies at all. It was not until now that she discovered that an enemy army that was difficult to estimate the number of people had seized the Liang army's retreat from behind, and the ones who commanded this army were Shi Hongruo and Arrodo who fled from Rong Micheng.
"The despicable Liang people lure water to flood the city, destroying my Rongmi city. I want you to bury them today!" Shi Hongruo was dressed in military uniform, holding a double-headed spear, and shouted with anger. Aarodu, who had already fought with Liang's army, was still naked, and the half-moon scimitar in his hand flashed with a breathtaking cold light. "I want to see what other tricks you can do today! Give me a reward of Liang people's head according to merits!"
Each soldier of this 50,000 Donghu army suddenly appeared was wearing armor made of beast jackets and iron armor. He held a thick-backed knife in his hands and was protected by a mask. He was neither moving slowly like heavy armored soldiers nor being as unprepared as the charge dead men. They had the advantage of moving quickly and were not easily injured in vital parts.
Under Shi Hongruo's instigation, the Donghu soldiers rushed up to the Liang army and waved their swords to cut out balls of blood mist. Suddenly, they were attacked from both sides and deflected the balance that was originally facing the Liang army to the Donghu side again.
