Chapter 690 Explosives show off their power
Yanmen
Outside the city, Xiao Kun came and asked, "Vice General Zhou, are we still attacking the city today?"
Others also started talking about it.
"The stubborn Xianbei barbarians have become more resistant again."
"They had already accepted their fate before, but recently they probably thought that reinforcements were coming soon and felt that they were able to do it again."
Zhou Da touched his chin. In this case, they must attack the city.
The teams of Chen Jinlong and Meng Jingfeng both went to ambush the reinforcements, and even Liu Ye led a team to respond in case something changes.
When Liu Ye left, he gave him full authority over the siege.
Counting the time, Zhou Da estimated that the fighting had already started over there.
He looked at the Yanmen defender who was stubbornly resisting, and rolled his eyes, "Attack the city! We need to increase our efforts!"
In the evening, Zhu Dazhuang reported angrily, "Vice General Zhou, it's time for you, and we have finished throwing the Molotov cocktails for today."
"Well, it's been two hours since we attacked the city? Okay, that's it for today, call it a day!"
The soldiers of the Jintai Army Guards began to retreat in an orderly manner, not afraid of the Xianbei soldiers from Yanmen rushing out.
"Withdraw! Jintai Army finally withdrew!"
The Xianbei soldiers cheered in low voices and suppressed voices.
He Lanyan felt uncomfortable when he heard it, and when he took another look at the desolate city after being bombarded by the Jintai Army, he felt even more uncomfortable.
He Lanyan was a general stationed in Yanmen, and his life was very difficult during this period.
All because Pingzhou's siege weapons were so powerful.
Originally, strong soldiers and strong horses have always been used to describe Xianbei. The Xianbei soldiers were tall and strong. They were not afraid of the enemies attacking the city. They overturned the ladders and people!
At the same time, they have strong arms and long range. Generally speaking, when it comes to long-range attacks such as shooting, the Xianbei are better than the Han people. Sometimes, the Han people's arrows didn't even touch the insteps of their feet, but they had already entered their Xianbei shooting range.
The soldiers attacking the city in Pianping Prefecture were like an accident. Their long-range attack capabilities were comparable to those of Xianbei.
In other words, compared to the soldiers attacking the city outside Heping State, their Xianbei abilities were not superior!
This is outrageous.
In addition, the Jintai army responsible for siege is so abominable!
They didn't even engage in close combat with their Xianbei soldiers. They had no use for ladders or anything like that. They would just stand on tall spliced ladders and throw things at them!
The stone thrown by the trebuchet! Completely crushing their heightened and reinforced towers.
The scariest thing was the glass bottles they threw over. People in Pingzhou called these glass bottles Molotov cocktails.
They know that Pingzhou can make glass, but they don’t know what this glass bottle contains. It’s too lethal!
The Molotov cocktails they threw either hit people or objects, or exploded in the air.
Anyone who is hit will suffer severe burns, and the fire on their body cannot be extinguished.
It exploded in the air, sending glass shards flying and attacking the soldiers defending the city.
It's not like He Lanyan never thought of sending troops out of the city to fight them in close combat and deal with the siege army.
But the teams that were released never returned.
After two or three times, he stopped sending troops out of the city and just hunkered down.
At this time, the soldier cleaning up the mess asked him, "General Helan, when will our reinforcements arrive?"
He Lanyan comforted him, "It's coming soon. It should only take two days. Please just hold on."
Now he just hopes that reinforcements will arrive quickly and kill those hateful guys outside one by one like chopping melons and vegetables!
These guys didn't attack the city in close combat. What city did they attack?
At the same time, he thought bitterly in his heart, if they were fighting like this and wasting war materials, wouldn't the female governor of Pingzhou care about it?
The Sun soldiers who are far away in Xinxing and fighting guerrilla warfare in the wild said that they love this kind of rich warfare too much.
…
After the troops were divided into two groups, Yu Chirui advanced in an orderly manner with 25,000 troops and horses.
Suddenly, the scout team in front stopped, and one of them turned back.
"What's wrong?" Yu Chirui asked.
"General, there is no ambush, but the road ahead has been dug."
"Did it break?"
"General, you will know when you go and take a look." The expression on the young scout's face was hard to describe.
Yuchi Rui clamped the horse's belly and drove it forward, and the guards around him also followed suit.
When he saw a large section of the official road in front of him that had been dug up and was not dignified, he fell silent.
"Needless to say, this road must have been dug up by people from Pingzhou. They are despicable and shameless!"
Looking at the dug road, it looked like a chasm. The cavalry could not pass without repairing it, so they had to take a detour.
There is really a lack of virtue.
"Everyone, be careful!" Yu Chirui warned everyone.
And he was riding a horse, looking around.
But it was useless, they had entered the ambush area of the Jintai Army.
Meng Jingfeng, Lu Dayou, Feng Shuo and others each led a team of cavalry and appeared outside them like ghosts.
It was indeed an ambush!
"Form up!" Yuchi Rui ordered, "Who is coming? I, Yuchi Rui, will not kill unknown people with my sword!"
Meng Jingfeng and others looked at each other, "Who are you talking to? Who doesn't know that you want to delay time?"
"You should ask the Lord of Hell this question after you die!"
After Meng Jingfeng finished speaking, he didn't give them any time to respond. With a long whistle of 'beep--', soldiers on horseback rushed towards them from three directions.
Three people formed a unit and rushed forward in a triangle formation.
"What are the Jintai army doing?" The Xianbei soldiers were confused. Did they want to use these dozens of cavalry to disperse their army?
None of them saw that the leading cavalrymen were carrying a square bag of items on their horses, and the cavalrymen on both sides were guards.
Just as the dozens of cavalrymen of the Jintai army charged, Yuchi Rui gave an order, and the Xianbei side rushed out the same number of cavalrymen to intercept them.
However, the cavalry suicide squad members of the Jintai army did not entangle with them at all. With the help of their comrades, they broke through their interception and rushed straight to the cavalry army. When they were almost at the same distance, they directly ignited the explosives on the horse's back, and then they quickly jumped aside from the horse.
Boom——
Boom——
Boom——
This is a battle that caused mountains to collapse and the earth to split!
This is a bloody battle!
Yuchi Rui and Yang Min escaped with the remnants, and the two soldiers joined together.
This was discussed when they divided their troops before. If they were ambushed and defeated, they would turn back.
After the reunion, Yuchi Rui learned that Yang Min's troops had also encountered the same ambush, and even more serious crisis on their side, because Qin Sheng happened to take the mobile team to Chen Jinlong's side.
"Where is Yuchi Xun?"
"He was shot dead by Qin Sheng with an arrow." Yang Min was extremely lucky that he was still wearing the armor of a young general when the troops were divided, so he was not targeted by Qin Sheng.
Yuchi Rui: ...
When the troops were divided, he arranged his cousin to be Yang Min's deputy general, hoping to gain some credit, but he lost his life unexpectedly.
Yuchi Rui did not speak, and Yang Min did not speak.
Compared with what they had experienced and heard, Yuchi Xun was nothing.
The two were still in shock, and the soldiers behind them were even more frightened. It was terrible!
"Is this Pingzhou's secret weapon?" Yuchi Rui said as if talking to himself.
"It should be."
"Is this the confidence for their large-scale attack on Xianbei?"
Isn't it the confidence?
They encountered a round of bombing, and then were surrounded by the Jintai Army cavalry. Only three or four thousand people escaped from the 50,000 soldiers.
Both of them were in a heavy mood.
"General Yuchi, are you still going to support General Helan?" Yang Min asked softly.
Yuchi Rui: "Yanmen can't be defended. Let's go back to Leping and tell the Khan that Pingzhou has weapons of mass destruction!"
