Chun Shanxia's order was not too slow.
However, the number of eight thousand was not a lot, and some people still failed to move closer to the main force in time.
The Northern Expedition Army's iron hooves blasted violently, quickly cutting them apart.
Chunshan saw it and felt pain in his heart, but he could only grit his teeth.
"Give up the rescue, everyone shrinks closer and defends in place."
After giving the order, his eyes fell on a tall war horse below.
The owner is a chubby fat man.
"Kill." He was full of energy and urged the war horse under his crotch. He led hundreds of soldiers in armor and rushed forward crazily, harvesting the Japanese pirate soldiers who had not had time to get closer.
Make him stuffed.
Chunshan felt sour in his heart.
For such a big fat man, Yun Chui Ren can actually squeeze out a suitable horse for him to use. It's really a waste of natural resources.
I thought he was a majestic general leading an army, but he didn't even have a mount. He had to run away with his subordinates when he came out for a sneak attack.
How desolate that is.
Having said that, there are also horses in Beihai Customs.
Not long ago, the Ridan tribe in the north received a large amount of supplies from Yamato, and in return they sent dozens of horses as gifts.
However, one look at the physiques of those horses showed that Gorros was nothing at all.
Let alone traveling a thousand miles in a day, I'm afraid even fifty miles would be a problem.
"Bring the arrows!"
Chunshan was furious, so he wanted to teach the invincible fat man below a lesson.
However, after a while, everything was quiet.
The guard looked stern, "General, we don't have many arrows."
They left the city this time to sneak attack the Yanhui Legion, and they did not bring many offensive weapons. At this point in the battle, many archers have empty hands and can no longer take out arrows.
The most important thing is that the dead fat man is a bit far away, and his mount looks good. It has been running very fast. I'm afraid it's hard to hit, so don't waste arrows and energy.
snort!
Chun Shan came back to his senses, snorted coldly, and then gave up.
Not long after, all the Japanese pirate soldiers who had been separated were wiped out, and Chunshan and others were heavily surrounded on the large mound.
The soldiers had no way to escape, so they could only form a formation on the spot, erecting a shield wall and pointing their spears outward, ready to defend to the death.
"Son of a bitch."
Chen Xiulan went to the battlefield for the first time, and the one he killed was so fengshengshuiqi.
After he finished dealing with the small group of enemies, it was time to get excited about killing.
However, when they turned around and came to the big mound, they encountered this array of turtles covered with spikes.
After repeatedly charging with his horse, Fatty not only failed to injure the enemy, but was almost hit by the enemy's spears and random arrows.
Fortunately, he was wearing armor all over his body, so he didn't suffer much damage.
In desperation, he had to retreat.
————
The wild geese return to the army.
"General, the enemy is tightly packed on the big mound, and the brothers can't attack for a while."
"Can't attack?" Yu Ziping looked strange, "Immediately adjust the attack direction and distance of all the trebuchets, and hit the big mound from top to bottom for several rounds."
What are the Yanhui Corps here for?
It was to prepare for the siege.
Yu Ziping didn't have many long-range weapons in his hands, but he definitely had a lot of them. At least knocking over the big mound was not a problem, and there was no need to use the lives of his men to break the turtle formation.
hey-hey.
The messenger came to his senses, laughed wildly and ran away.
Soon, the trebuchet started.
Huhuhu~
The sky was instantly filled with rocks and fireballs, with a lot of burning rubber among them, and they hit the big mound of soil hard.
Rumble.
The earth shook.
Chunshan and the others had no way to hide, but enemies were staring at them from all directions, making it impossible to escape.
After one round of attacks, corpses were everywhere and screams continued.
"Your Majesty." Chen Xiulan, who was not far away, was horrified. "With these weapons, what are you going to do with the soldiers charging into battle?"
cough!
Huang Ming had already rushed over, and he coughed lightly.
"My lord, these are heavy weapons. Although they are powerful, they are still controlled by humans. Moreover, they are very troublesome to transport. They cannot be deployed in every place. It can be said that they have great limitations."
"Therefore, it is often necessary for the brothers to rush forward regardless of their own bodies to defeat the enemy."
Only then did Chen Xiulan understand.
Soon he became excited again, "Why did the trebuchet stop? There are still many Japanese pirates alive on the mound. Hurry up and hit them again."
Yu Ziping seemed to hear his thoughts. Before Chen Xiulan finished speaking, the sky lit up again.
Rumble.
Another heavy rain of stones covered the sky and the sun.
After a while, Chunshan emerged from under a pile of shields.
There were a few scratches on his face, which were the result of the personal guards fighting to the death to resist the falling rocks. Otherwise, with the two overwhelming attacks just now, his life would have been long gone.
one day?
Chunshan looked back at Beiguan, his eyes a little desperate.
The sun has just risen, but many of his men are already dead. Let alone holding on for a day, I'm afraid half an hour will be a problem.
"General," the few remaining guards looked at the sky in panic, "We can't stay here any longer."
well.
Chunshan let out a long sigh.
Didn't he know that this place had become a desperate place, and if he stayed any longer, he would either be stoned to death or captured by the Yunchui people.
It’s not like there’s nowhere to go.
"General, the Yunchui people are cunning and have set up an ambush long ago. Now we are trapped in a heavy siege. The only way to survive is to enter the city."
Chunshan couldn't help but look back at Beihaiguan, but when he saw that the city gate showed no sign of opening, he felt even more disappointed.
"General, let's not take the city gate, but the hanging basket at the top of the city."
"Yes, yes." The other guards' eyes lit up, "As long as we intend to break out, the brothers in the city will definitely support us with bows and arrows, and we will be able to enter the city then."
The most important thing is that the big mound of soil under your feet is only more than thirty feet away from Beiguan.
There are bows and arrows, hammering logs, rolling stones, etc. on the top of the city constantly watching.
Even if the Northern Expeditionary Army rode their mounts and came and went like the wind, they did not dare to be too arrogant.
Therefore, there are definitely loopholes to exploit, and the success rate of breakout should be high.
Just do it.
Chunshan immediately asked someone to send a signal to the city and received a response quickly.
"Break out immediately."
As for the other soldiers, life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor, so let them be.
After all, no matter how many hanging baskets there are, they are still limited.
Boo hoo hoo.
The bows and arrows at the top of the city began to become denser. Although they did not completely interrupt the cavalry patrolling the outer city, the number was also much smaller.
There is drama.
Chunshan and others were refreshed and quickly signaled the soldiers to take action.
Boom boom boom.
The long tip was smashed into the soil and tied with a long rope to become a slide.
Phew~
Chunshan and other generals quickly slid down with a shield in one hand and a rope in the other.
The big mound in front of you is not a natural cliff, it has a certain slope. Although they were not trained, they still landed safely.
run!
If you don't run, you will die. If you run slowly, you will die.
Chunshan could no longer care about the so-called general's manners. Without saying a word, he dropped his shield and ran away.
Seeing General Yun Chui rushing towards him from the south, he wished his parents had two more legs. He was so anxious that he almost wanted to throw away the general's sword.
Masato Nei stared down.
“A thousand armies are easy to gain, but good generals are hard to find.”
He always kept the words of General Ishikawa Taki in his heart.
At this time, seeing Yun Chui's cavalry approaching at full speed, seemingly preparing to capture Chun Shan and others alive, he waved his hand downwards.
"Fire the arrow!"
Boo hoo hoo.
Arrows rained down from the city head, including not only light bows and arrows, but even light and heavy crossbows.
Thump, thump, thump!
Arrows, large and small, were stuck on the road where the cavalry passed.
咴咴咴.
A series of screams sounded.
Several riders flipped their horses on their backs and fell down instantly.
