Chapter 842 Blocking the City Gate
Unexpectedly, Jiang Qi and the other three hundred cavalry did not come to kill Gongsun Kang. Instead, they rushed past the fallen Liaodong cavalry. Jiang Qi grabbed the long pole, turned around and said: "Retreat!"
The three hundred horsemen immediately turned their horses and retreated calmly.
Gongsun Kang was stunned for a moment, then became furious and ordered: "Damn it, I fell into the trap, chase them all!"
Thousands of Liaodong cavalry naturally rushed forward to catch up with the three hundred cavalry, but their reaction was inevitably a bit slow. Jiang Qi waited for the three hundred cavalry to have clear objectives and took back Yan Liang's head. Instead of entangled with the enemy, he turned around and walked away.
Three hundred horses galloped into the city gate, and the two city gates were quickly closed.
More than a thousand Liaodong cavalry chased them to the top of the city. Shenpei had already arranged hundreds of crossbowmen on top of the city. When he saw the enemy chasing them to the bottom of the city, of course he ordered the crossbowmen to fire thousands of arrows without saying a word.
Whoosh whoosh!
Arrows flew down from the top of the city and shot into the Liaodong cavalry formation. Although the Liaodong cavalry was known as cavalry, in fact, they were only wearing leather armor at most. Without iron armor, they could be considered light armor at best. The cavalry was not heavy cavalry, so under the barrage of arrows fired from the top of the city, there were naturally heavy casualties.
"Damn it, get back!"
The Liaodong cavalry suffered more than a hundred casualties under the enemy's barrage of arrows. Naturally, it was impossible for them to stay here and be treated as a living target, so they turned around and left, throwing dozens more corpses along the way.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Gongsun Kang was naturally furious. Since he marched into Feiru, he has almost won consecutive battles and won every battle. Even strong generals like Yan Liang have been killed. But today, he was teased by the enemy. Not only did he take back Yan Liang's head, but also lost more than a hundred cavalry, so he was naturally furious.
"Damn it, I should personally supervise the formation, attack the city, and capture Yuan Tan!"
Gongsun Kang said angrily: "Come on, surround the city and attack it!"
Gongsun Kang personally supervised the formation, and nearly 10,000 Han soldiers were spread out like a big net, surrounding the three gates of Beiping City in the northeast and south. However, the south gate was left unencircled. It was a classic siege of three gates. The first method is that once the enemy forces in the city cannot hold on any longer, they can break out from the west gate. If the walls on all four sides are surrounded, the enemy forces will naturally be determined to die if they cannot escape. This will naturally make it difficult to capture.
However, the judge sneered: "Send my order to block Ximen!"
What a good judge. Gongsun Kang deliberately used the method of surrounding three buildings and deliberately let go of the west gate, just to let the enemy troops escape. However, the judge directly blocked the west gate. It was really a plan to draw out the firepower.
Shen Pei personally stood on top of the city, pulled out the Si Zhao sword from his waist, and shouted sternly: "My lord has given me the sword. If anyone refuses to defend the city with all his strength, he will be killed. Soldiers, please don't make a mistake!"
Shen Pei had a long-standing reputation in the army, and he also held the Sizhao Sword given by Yuan Shao. Naturally, the army sergeants were well prepared for battle and did not dare to disobey Shen Pei's orders.
"Siege the city!"
When Gongsun Kang saw Shen Pei blocking the west gate, he frowned and had no other choice but to order his troops to attack the city.
It was still the old method, with the Liaodong cavalry supervising the formation from behind, while the various soldiers of the Three Han Dynasty, under their orders, began to attack the city head step by step.
The archers of the three Han soldiers stood outside the city, raining arrows on the top of the city, while the infantry held shields and swords in front of them and began to climb towards the top of the city.
"Smash!"
The guards on the top of the city picked up the rolling logs and rocks and smashed them down hard. Pieces of rolling logs and rocks fell from the sky. Spikes were cut out of the rolling logs. When they came down, they smashed down the guards one by one. His whole body was covered in blood, and the stone fell on his head, directly smashing his brain into pieces.
However, after these days of war, this group of soldiers from the Three Koreas gradually gained experience in war. When they saw the enemy's rolling logs and rocks falling from the sky, they would subconsciously raise the leather shields on their arms and roll the logs and rocks. He swiped down from the leather shield and fell off.
However, although the rolling wood and stone may be able to pass through, the golden juice cannot be blocked in any case. It is also the most feared city defense weapon of this group of three Korean soldiers.
The gold juice mixed with human feces was boiled and dropped from the top of the city. Regardless of whether he had a leather shield or not, and whether he was wearing armor or not, as long as it touched a little, his skin would ulcerate, and nine out of ten times he would be doused with gold. All the three Korean soldiers will die, and only a small part will survive.
Under the command of Shenpei, the defenders above the city head threw things down one after another. The Sanhan soldiers on the ladder kept letting out a scream, and then fell down from the city head, hitting their heads on the ground. Cracked immediately.
If it had been the time when they had just attacked Feiru City, if this group of Sanhan soldiers had encountered such fierce resistance, they would have been frightened and turned around and ran away. However, after several battles between Feiru and Tuyin, this group of Sanhan soldiers Han Zabing has been trained and can still adapt to this kind of attack.
However, Shen Pei was not afraid at all. There were more than 6,000 soldiers in the city, and the total number of Liaodong cavalry and Sanhan miscellaneous soldiers outside the city was only more than 13,000. It was impossible for the Liaodong cavalry to abandon their horses and participate in the siege. The nearly 10,000 Han soldiers attacking the city were less than twice the number of defenders in the city, so it was more than enough to defend the city.
What's more, in addition to the trial and matching, there are also secondary preparations.
"kill!"
After nearly a thousand casualties among the three Han soldiers, the first batch of advanced soldiers finally rushed to the top of the city and launched a fierce attack on Beiping City.
"kill!"
"Zhang Nan, be sure to stop the enemy!" Shen Pei ordered.
"Here!"
Zhang Nan drew his sword and charged out: "Get out of here!"
Zhang Nan suddenly rushed out with hundreds of elite soldiers. The soldiers of the Three Han Dynasties were massacred as soon as they climbed onto the city top. Each one fell from the city head and was smashed to pieces.
Zhang Nan led his army to fight hard. The soldiers of the three Han Dynasties had almost no place to stand. They came to kill one by one. After all, there were plenty of defenders in the city, so the top of the city was full of defenders, occupying the whole area at the top of the city. The three Han soldiers would kill each one when they came up. The three Han soldiers could not expand in size at all. After they came up, they could only rely on their personal bravery and fight on their own. Naturally, one by one would die.
Seeing that the Three Han soldiers were still unable to open up the situation, Gongsun Kang couldn't help but clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. However, he had no choice but to order drumming to build up morale and cheer for the Three Han soldiers above the city.
Boom, boom, boom!
Almost all the soldiers of the Three Han Dynasties participated in the siege, but there were only more than two thousand cavalry left beside Gongsun Kang, and the judge's eyes suddenly shone.
"Where is Jiang Qi?"
"The general is here. I wonder what Mr. Zhengnan's orders are?"
