Chapter 246 Prepare to Fight Back

"Dong, Dong..."

The rumble of the drums shattered the tranquility of the morning. At the same time yesterday, Tuobai commanded the army to rush to the city wall again.

The water flow of the moat has been separated by corpses and all kinds of messy things and has lost its proper function.

Without the moat barrier, the Wei army's horsemen can also run to the city and shoot upwards to suppress the defenders' counterattack, but Tuoba Kui obviously has a preference for the complaint machine.

It was almost copied from yesterday, destroying the protection on the wall with a catapult first, and then the Rangers came forward. And this time, due to the proximity, the power of the riding has finally appeared.

When the defenders were suppressed and unable to raise their heads, Tuoba Kyu gave an order, and 10,000 soldiers rushed up like a tide. Under the cover of the riding, after setting the ladder on the wall, he quickly climbed up.

Seeing this, Tuobagui was very sure that today's effect was indeed much better than yesterday, and as long as his soldiers pedaled on the wall and stood firm, the city would be broken.

Although the distance was far away, he could still see the tall body standing on the highest tower on the wall. He knew that it must be the emperor of the Jin Dynasty.

Lu Qiang stood on the watchtower with a cold face. He could even feel that Tuoba Kui must be looking at him. He was already prepared for the tragic battle today, but it was obviously not a way to be beaten so passively, so he had decided to show the improved cataping machine today to let Tuoba Kui know. What is a real offensive and defensive weapon?

Dozens of ladders were built on the wall. Although the defenders' counterattack was tenacious enough, there was something that could not be taken care of. Soon some Wei soldiers climbed up and were killed by the defenders and left behind the city.

However, this is a good phenomenon after all. Every time a soldier climbs up, the soldiers behind will cheer, and then learn from the front soldiers and climb up desperately.

Tuoba Kui was also a little anxious at this time. From his perspective, he always felt that the city was about to be broken, but it was always a little worse.

In a hurry, the flag was raised and 10,000 soldiers were pressed to break through the city in one fell swoop.

At this time, hundreds of the best catapults had been quietly erected in the city, and then began to roar at the city under the command of Tan Daoji.

At this time, the 20,000 Wei troops who participated in the attack under the city, although there were thousands of casualties, there were still 17,000 people gathered under the city.

You can imagine what kind of consequences will be caused by the sudden fall of nearly 100 stones from the sky in such a dense situation.

Tuoba Ji had never dreamed of throwing stones so quickly. When he waited anxiously for the good news, he was stunned to find that the army waiting for the attack under the city suddenly became chaotic.

Looking carefully, I saw that the stones that were not very huge flew down into the crowd from the head of the city and ploughed out bloody cracks in the crowd, and this was just the beginning. The stones seemed to be endless, throwing down.

"How, how did this happen?"

In shock, Tuobagui actually forgot to withdraw the people at the first time, but soon there was no need for him to withdraw his troops. Under the bombardment of stones, the Wei soldiers stained with blood in their robes have fled back.

It's really horrible. What weapons did the Jin army use? So many stones were thrown down at such a fast speed.

Obviously, no one will answer him. With the scattered escape of the siege soldiers, Tuoba Kui finally ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. It was not until now that he realized that Lu Qiang had left a hand and waited for the critical moment to be used!

Nearly 20,000 people are crowded together. Does it mean that you can retreat?

After the stone rain, seeing the Wei army retreat, the garrison's bow and crossbow also began to be powerful, and the soldiers chasing the crazy retreat shot fiercely.

At this time, the military spirit of the Wei army has dispersed, and they are busy running for their lives. They can't form effective protection at all. Although the riders in the distance have the intention to rescue, the crowd is too crowded. In addition, they are also afraid of being attacked by stone rain, so they can only watch their former companions die tragically in the counterattack of the defenders.

Two days of siege have caused Tuoba Kui to leave nearly 10,000 bodies in Bingzhou City, which is obviously not the most important. The terrible stone rain just now is the most devastating to military morale.

For a while, people pushed and crowded people. Everyone was afraid of slowing down and died under the arrows or stones at the top of the city. There were also some anxious Wei troops. Seeing that their companions were in the way, they couldn't help but waved a knife at their companions to clear their escape route.

In this way, the casualties of soldiers began to increase again, many of which died at the hands of their own people, or were trampled to death after being squeezed down.

Seeing this scene, Tuoba Kui's nose was almost crooked. What's going on? The Jin army didn't come, and their own people were in chaos first.

Immediately ordered the cavalry to come forward to receive and guide the siege troops and stabilize their positions to prevent the Jin army from counterattacking in the chaos.

Lu Qiang wanted to take advantage of the chaos, but the army could not expand the bodies all over the city. If he went out from other gates, I'm afraid it would have no effect. After all, the strength of the Wei army is still there.

Looking at the fleeing Wei army under the city, cheers broke out again.

Lu Qiang also believes that with today's lesson, Tuoba Kui will no longer attack the city easily.

With the retreat of the Wei army, the city sent soldiers to clean up the bodies in the city. However, although the Wei army did not interfere this time, it still politely invited a few soldiers away, because Tuoba Kui really wanted to know what secret weapons Lu Qiang used.

"The catapt? Is it a catapher for defending the military?"

No matter how much coercive and lure you are, the captured prisoners of the Jin army have the same answer, which makes Tuoba Gui even more confused. Does the cataping machine have so much power?

Although the overall loss of the two-day attack was not large, Tuoba knew that he could not continue to fight like this and had to find another way.

Just as Tuobai was thinking about how to break through the Jin army's defense, an eagle hovered over Bingzhou for a while and then slowly fell down. Then someone took a secret report on the eagle's leg and lost a piece of fresh rabbit meat to the eagle. After the eagle spread its wings again and flew into the distant mountains and disappeared.

The secret report was quickly sent to Lu Qiang's hand. Lu Qiang opened it and only looked a few times, and his face showed joy. He casually handed the secret letter to the fifth floor of Gongsun beside him and laughed, "Tuobai is afraid that he will retire again."

Gongsun received a secret letter on the fifth floor, and saw that it said, "Defeat the Yanmen camp of the Wei army and beheaded more than 10,000"

After reading this secret letter, Gongsun's fifth floor couldn't help but be surprised and happy. He knew that Lu Qiang still had an ambush in Yanmen and destroyed the Wanwei army in the first battle. Obviously, it was not a small army. In this way, if Tuoba Kui didn't want to be defeated by the enemy, he really had no choice but to retreat.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. As far as I know, our Central Plains army has never had such a record against aliens for more than 100 years. Your Majesty is really an emperor!"

Although everyone loves to hear good words, no one has ever said such numb words to Lu Qiang. He turned his head slightly and looked at the fifth floor of Gongsun with a flattering face, and his heart couldn't help moving.

At this time, Lu Qiang is not old and starts from danger. It can be said that he is very clear-headed. Although he is almost invincible, he is not carried away by victory, so this will not only not make him happy, but even arouse his vigilance.

There is a saying in the officialdom that if the water is clear, there will be no fish. The subordinate officials have some minor problems, but if they are not firm, that is a big problem.

Today's record is strong, and Gongsun's fifth floor is like this. What if Tuoba Ji is strong every day? Such a person guards the border...

At this moment, Lu Qiang had already set a big question mark on the fifth floor of Gongsun in his heart.

Gongsun's fifth floor had a short period of contact with Lu Qiang. He didn't know Lu Qiang's character, and he didn't expect his flattery to hit the horse's hoof.

Continue: "Your Majesty, I suggest that we rectify the soldiers and horses immediately. This time we will take the initiative to challenge Tuobai and not give him a chance to escape."

This sentence is the heart of Shenhe Luqiang. The news of Yanmen was sent by Kuai En with an eagle letter, and the grassland people are better at using eagles, so they should have received the news by this time.

Time was tight, and Lu Qiang immediately ordered people to open the gate, and then sent soldiers out to clean up the bodies in the city. The battlefield was not empty, and the army could not be launched at all.

As Lu Qiang thought, Tuoba Kui received the news almost at the same time as him.

"The Jin army attacked at night and could not find out how many people and horses there were. It was initially estimated that it should be about 50,000. The Yanmen camp was destroyed, and more than 20,000 soldiers were injured. The grain and fodder stored in the camp were also burned. In order to ensure the smooth road, please send reinforcements as soon as possible.

This is an eagle letter sent by Gongsun Lan to Tuoba Kui. In fact, he doesn't know how many Jin troops attacked the camp that night, but the more he said, the smaller his guilt will certainly be.

You should know that it is a battalion of nearly 30,000 troops! Unexpectedly, he was defeated by the Jin army without any effort. Looking at the Jin soldiers who were killing in the camp that night, he didn't even have the courage to go out to rescue at that time.

So he must expand the matter infinitely so that Tuobai can divert his attention and reduce his punishment.

Tuoba Kui's mood at this time can no longer be described as simple anger, 30,000 troops! Even 30,000 pigs are there, will they have to be killed for a while? Besides, pigs can still run! What do these 30,000 soldiers have long legs for? Can't you run if you can't beat it?

"Gongsun Lan..."

If Gongsun Lan is here, I'm afraid Tuoba Kui can bite him directly. Tuoba Kui is very clear about the terrain near Yanmen. It is not impossible to hide tens of thousands of people in the mountains, but what does Gongsun Lan do? With so many people coming here, you don't feel it at all?

It seems that this battle can no longer be fought. Once the Yanmen is locked, the Jin army will attack back and forth, and their 200,000 troops will have to be thrown away.

But did you go back like this? Unwilling!

Last time I gave up halfway. This time, I wanted to take the opportunity of Feng Ba to take the initiative to cede the land and teach the southerners a good lesson, but I also have to face the situation of walking away, which is even more serious than last time.

What should I do?

Are you walking or not? How to walk? On this issue, Tuoba Jiyu hesitated again, but obviously he was inclined to withdraw immediately.

At this moment, the hand came down to report, and the Jin army opened the gate and came out.
