"Big leader, are you going to attack the city now?" Ousachaha came to Sarju's side and asked.
"No hurry, let the warriors rest first." Shaerzhu said and drove his horse forward. He stopped at a distance that he could visually inspect, just like when he was in Xiguan, he stopped at Daxia Arrow. out of range of the arrow. He stood there and waited, waiting for Xia Jun to shoot an arrow, so as to take the opportunity to humiliate Da Xia for being soft-footed shrimps, but he did not wait for the arrow. What did wait was the cry of a big iron trumpet, not Zhao Bin's The voice was He Miao. Zhao Bin asked He Miao to ask: "Is that the leader of Sharzhu below?"
Shaerzhu shouted too loudly: "I am Shaerzhu, the leader of the Shalang tribe! Are you King Yan?"
Lao He, replied to him: "Nice to meet you"
He Miao: Your Majesty, he may not know what a happy meeting is, and besides, it can’t be translated.
"Oh, just say it's nice to see you."
He Miao had no choice but to follow Zhao Bin's instructions.
After hearing Zhao Bin's words, Sha Erzhu was stunned and thought to himself that you are still happy when I lead troops to attack your city.
"This leader is also very happy to see you, King Yan. I wonder if King Yan dares to come out and fight my sand wolf warrior head-on?"
Zhao Bin looked at He Miao: "What did he say?"
"He said he invited the prince to come out of the city for a duel."
Zhao Bin grinned, thinking that only a fool would go out and fight you.
"Lao He, tell him that fighting and killing are things only children can do. Why don't we do business?"
He Miao translated Zhao Bin's words into the Jie language
"Business? It seems that King Yan likes doing business very much. I wonder what King Yan wants to do?" Sha Erzhu replied.
Tell him: "As long as he is willing to hand over the horses and withdraw from Yancheng, I can spare his life. Ask him what he wants."
"Hahaha, King Yan, you can't continue to daydream. What qualifications do you have to say let me live now? Now Yan City has been surrounded by me. When our Jie Clan army arrives, you and the entire Yan City All the Xia people will die without a burial place. If you leave the city and surrender now, my leader can consider leaving your whole body."
Wang Dayong said from the side: "My lord, do you want to shoot him to death with a three-bed crossbow? This distance is completely within the shooting range of the three-bed crossbow. It is absolutely foolproof."
"Don't worry, let's kill him first. If you really shoot him to death, these Jie tribe cavalry will withdraw immediately, and our work will be in vain. Go, pull the sand sculpture over, and face him in front of him. Face him and give him a few big slaps," Zhao Bin said.
"Hey, okay, my lord, look at me." Wang Dayong went to look for the sand sculpture in the tower with a playful smile. After a while, the sand sculpture was tied up and pulled out of the tower. Wang Dayong did not forget to say to He Miao: Mr. He, you Say something to that Sarju for me.
"say what?"
"When I hit him in the mouth later, you yell and that makes you arrogant little bastard." Dayong said with a smirk on his face.
Everyone looked at Dayong with dumbfounded expressions on their faces, wondering why you are such a bad boy.
Sha'erzhu was shocked when he saw the familiar figure on the top of the city. He could tell that that person was his son Sha Diao.
Wang Dayong didn't care about this. He started to hit the sand sculpture from left to right, and while fighting back, he said: "Let you be arrogant like a little bastard, let you be arrogant like a little bastard, eh? Mr. He, please translate quickly."
"This..." He Miao looked at Zhao Bin with a depressed look, but Zhao Bin told him to just translate. Poor He Miao also claimed to be a scholar, but today he was asked to curse.
Sha'erzhu, who was downstairs in the city, was even more furious when he heard this. "Damn it, King Yan, I'm going to skin you. I'm going to kill everyone in Yan City to wash away the humiliation you brought to our Shalang tribe." He turned his horse's head. Heading towards your own camp
"Warriors, today I will lead you to rush into Yancheng, slaughter everyone here, and attack the city!"
After hearing the order, the Jie soldiers dismounted one after another and took down the siege ladders they had brought from their horses. When leaving the customs, they tied the siege ladders to the bellies of the two horses, tied them with ropes front and back, and used the horses to Now that the camel has arrived, he only needs to take off the siege ladder to attack the city immediately.
Zhao Bin watched the Jie people under the city jump off their horses one after another and form different camps. As a horn sounded, these Jie soldiers picked up the siege ladder, raised their shields and charged towards the north gate. .
"Damn it, your father didn't even think about saving you," Zhao Bin yelled at the sand sculpture.
In fact, Zhao Bin didn't know that the Jie people did not value life, whether it was the lives of others or their own lives. They advocated violence, and being captured was the greatest shame, so when Sharzhu saw being captured The moment the five-flowered sand sculpture appeared at the top of the city, he felt even more humiliated. He is his own son and the future leader of the Sand Wolf tribe. He can die in battle, but cannot be captured.
"Fire arrows!" Sarzhu ordered the soldiers following behind.
"Defend!" Zhao Bin on the top of the city immediately ordered. He had already learned from Hou Tai about the Jie people's siege habits, which was to open the way in front and use bows and arrows to suppress fire from the rear, so he made preparations first and had people prepare a lot of wooden planks and door panels on the tower, because now Yancheng does not have the ability to provide a large number of shields, so it can only use wooden boards instead, and wooden boards are actually the best item to block arrows.
After a wave of arrows, the wooden plank was quickly moved away, and Zhuge Liannu moved towards the Jie soldiers attacking the city as fast as possible. In a few breaths, the ten arrows in the quiver were poured out, and this time Then the second wave of arrows from the Jie people came. The wooden board was lifted up again, and the crossbowman quickly changed the arrow box. After the arrows passed, he fired again. The moment the siege ladder leaned against the city wall, the Jie people stopped firing arrows.
Zhao Bin looked at the siege ladder leaning against the city wall. He really couldn't understand what these barbarians were thinking. Without heavy siege equipment, you dared to carry two broken ladders to the city. He didn't know if it was true. You are really stupid and you are really not afraid of death. After all, you must have siege engines and catapults to break the city. I don’t know how many years ago these things existed. These Jie people also occupied Hebei Road for a long time. Many Han prisoners were also captured. It should not be difficult to make such a tool, but why is it not there?
"My lord, you'd better go down to the city wall and hide. If you get hurt, I can't afford it," Xiao Chu advised from the side.
Wang Wu, on the other hand, remained silent and stood directly in front of Zhao Bin with his shield in hand.
"It's okay. The enemy has some troops and doesn't have large siege equipment, so there's no need to worry."
"There must be siege equipment. These should only be the vanguard troops. They do not carry large siege equipment. The main force that follows will definitely carry them." Xiao Chu said.
"So that's it. Sha'erzhu thinks that even Xiguan City can be taken by him, and Yan City is naturally within his grasp. This time, we must keep all the 20,000 to 30,000 Jie people, and don't let any of them go. Go, tell the soldiers to destroy half of the siege ladder and leave the other half, put the Jie soldiers up little by little, and do your best to kill the enemy."
The soldiers who received the order either lifted the rolling logs and smashed the ladders leaning on the city wall, or used long bamboo poles to push the ladders down. Some of the Jie tribesmen who rushed to the top of the city were beaten like hedgehogs by spears and then left behind. At the top of the city, the densely packed siege ladders were constantly being overturned, and new siege ladders were constantly coming up to the top of the city. The defending soldiers on the top of the city always deliberately kept the siege ladders close to the city wall.
Time passed little by little, and the sun gradually approached the horizon. The city wall was covered with blood, and there were piles of corpses under the city wall. Finally, at the moment when the sun set, the enemy's horn sounded again. The attack stopped, and the Jie soldiers who were still under the city began to retreat like a tide, and with them came a wave of Zhuge's crossbows. After leaving thousands of corpses under the city wall, the remaining soldiers finally retreated back to Jie. Clan camp.
"Clean the city tower!" Qin Fang ordered loudly. After Wei Xiang heard Qin Fang's shouts on the city wall, he rushed up to the city tower with his brother servants to wash away the remaining blood. The moment he boarded the city tower, Wei Xiang knew that he was going to the city tower. It was so easy to intercept and kill the Jie people for the first time. Many of the people on the city wall were tired and spread out on the ground. There were also many soldiers bandaging wounds in the temporary medical center near the city wall. As night falls, no one dares to relax their vigilance at all. Night is never a safe time. There are always people thinking about how to kill their opponents at night. Just like now, in a mountain forest a few miles away from Xiguan, Lu Biao and Hou Tai led everyone to approach Xiguan again under the cover of night. With an army of more than 40,000 people, they can take Xiguan head-on, but their purpose is to minimize casualties to ensure that there is enough reserve force to fight against the main force of the Jie tribe.
