"Woo~woo~"
The sky was getting brighter and the sun was shining lightly. Early in the morning, the shrill horns sounded in Youtun City, hovering above everyone's heads for a long time.
The warm sunshine in early summer could not blow away the chill in everyone's hearts. Just outside the city wall, countless soldiers from the Northern Yan Dynasty came fiercely.
The huge military formation was preceded by catapults, with the infantry at the rear, and the cavalry flanking the formation.
Glittering spear points and razor-sharp crossbows are everywhere.
The clothing of the Yan army is based on yellow, supplemented by brown and red colors. Everyone wears a plush felt hat, a typical Hu style.
The roar of the war horses filled everyone's eardrums, and a chilling atmosphere spread throughout the city.
A rough glance shows that the Yan army's strength is about two thousand. If Xiang Yong is not included, Changziying's strength is already at a disadvantage.
Therefore, almost all the soldiers of the Changzi camp in the city moved, and the four walls were tightly guarded. There were also a large number of civilians and warriors who constantly helped carry crossbows and throw stones into the city.
The dark clouds of war enveloped the whole city.
"Hey, dear, there are so many infantry and catapults. I always thought that the Yan army could only fight on horseback."
Such a scene made Gu Sinian dumbfounded. He had seen many Yan troops and killed several of them. This was the first time he had seen such a large-scale Yan army attack the city.
Just looking at the military formation, it doesn't look like a nomadic nation.
The nomads in Gu Sinian's mind are a group of herdsmen on horseback. They usually herd cattle and sheep, carry swords and guns in war, and rob dozens or hundreds of people, and then run away after looting.
But now they even have siege engines and catapults, and it feels like they are seeing the Central Plains Dynasty in ancient books.
Zeng Lingchuan had a cold face and explained unwillingly:
"They say they are nomadic, but in fact Beiyan has learned a lot from us over the years, opening up wasteland to grow food, and migrating herdsmen to build cities. Now Beiyan is equivalent to a kind of fusion, and they can fight on foot or on horseback.
Brother, don't underestimate their siege capabilities. I have seen them several times. They are quite organized and have caused us a lot of trouble.
The Yan army has been harassing our border for so many years, and they have finally mastered it. "
Gu Sinian's heart sank. Could it be that the ruler of the Great Liang Dynasty couldn't tell that Bei Yan was training his troops? Now let's fight and make peace, pay compensation and settle the matter one day at a time, but in the future we will eventually face an elite force that is difficult to shake!
Gu Sinian worked hard and stood on tiptoes to take a look:
"What is their military flag embroidered on? Is it an eagle?"
"right."
Zeng Lingchuan nodded:
"The eagle on the grassland has six claws. The eagle seems to be a totem handed down from the Northern Yan people hundreds of years ago.
It is said that the Northern Yan royal family can embroider the eight-clawed eagle imperial flag, which is a symbol of supreme power, but we have never seen its true appearance to this day. "
"Eight-clawed eagle?"
Gu Sinian muttered: "How can an eagle have so many claws? It can really do stupid things~"
"Look, someone is coming out of the Yan Army formation!"
Before Gu Sinian could think about it, he saw a cavalry commander walking out of the military formation carelessly, thrusting his spear into the ground, and shouted loudly:
"Listen to the Liang army on the top of the city, our Northern Yan troops have arrived, and we can only destroy the city in the morning and evening!
If you are a man, go out of the city and fight with my army. If you have no chance, surrender early and kneel down to beg for mercy. Our general is generous and can let you leave alive! "
"Hahaha!"
A burst of laughter broke out in the Yan army formation, completely ignoring the defenders in the city.
In the long-term invasion of Liang, Yan's troops won more than they lost, and arrogance spread throughout the army.
"Damn, this is too arrogant!"
The straight-tempered blacksmith slapped the wall tiles and cursed:
"Are these Yan thieves trying to deceive our Liang army without one?"
Gu Sinian also said with a cold face:
"Give me that bow."
"Uh, what to do?"
Although Wu Xiang handed over the crossbow, he still said:
"Brother, this distance is a bit far. It's stuck on the edge of the range of our bow and crossbow. It's almost impossible for even a sharp archer to hit it."
"How will you know if you don't try~"
Gu Sinian pulled the bow string. It was a typical beef tendon bow string with strong tension and good elasticity.
Gu Sinian untied one end of the tendon, twisted it up one more time, and tightened it again. The bow suddenly became much more bent, and the bowstring became tighter.
Several people were stunned for a moment. Although the range of the bow string would be increased with one more loop, it would also require more force to pull the bow. With Gu Sinian's thin arms and legs, would this be possible?
Jump back and jump to yourself~
Here Gu Sinian was bending his bow and arrow, and the unknown Yan Jun general outside the city became even more arrogant. He even got off his horse, untied his trousers, and started peeing in front of the entire city's defenders:
"Hahaha, you cowards!"
Extremely arrogant!
Even the timid soldiers on the border were trembling with anger at this move.
Gu Sinian's face was expressionless, he nocked the arrow and bent the bow like a full moon.
The scorching sun above his head was a little dazzling, and in the noisy world, the only thing left in Gu Sinian's eyes was the arrogant Yan General.
Qin Xi and others held their breath subconsciously, not daring to take a breath again.
"Whoosh!"
At a certain moment, his wrist relaxed, and the arrow instantly flew out of the string and pierced the sky.
"Hahaha, Liang Jun is all a coward~a courageous man!"
"Hahaha! Coward!"
The general of the Yan army spread his legs with a smile on his face, and a sudden sound of breaking wind faintly echoed in his ears.
He frowned and subconsciously looked up into the distance.
There seemed to be a small black dot in the dazzling sunlight, coming through the clouds.
The general's pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat out of a soldier's natural vigilance.
"Whoosh!"
"Chi~"
"Pfft~"
An arrow hit the center of his eyebrow, and scarlet blood bloomed like snowflakes.
The body that fell to the ground had not even put on its trousers, and there was a sense of disbelief in its eyes that had lost all life~
In an instant, there was a commotion in front of the Yan army's formation, and several soldiers hurriedly pulled back the body of the general.
Gu Baihu still maintained his posture of bending the bow and shooting arrows. Behind the violently shaking bow string was an indifferent face.
Qin Xi and others opened their mouths wide, too shocked to say a word.
So damn handsome!
Yi Changping, who was supervising the battle at the top of the city, shouted excitedly:
“Good arrows!
What a damn good arrow! Who, who put it? "
"We are the ones taking care of hundreds of households!"
I don’t know who was joining in the fun and replied. Yi Changping was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said:
"Okay, okay, great arrows!
Gu Baihu has a good arrow! "
"Good arrows, Gu Baihu has good arrows!"
Other soldiers also cheered.
These words almost made Gu Sinian fall off the city wall. Why did he feel so cheap?
"Crunch~"
The city gate suddenly opened at this moment, and the sound of horse hooves suddenly started!
"Rumble~"
"Boom~"
Taking advantage of the chaos in front of the Yan Army's formation, a group of more than 200 cavalrymen galloped out of the city and rushed towards the Yan Army's formation like flying.
The first general has a young and resolute face, and his eyes are extremely sharp.
Chu Beizhan, the number one cavalryman in Changziying!
After all, Gu Sinian had spent some time in Youtun City, and knew that the Chu Beizhan he had rescued was no ordinary person.
Although Chu Beizhan is young, he is indeed recognized by the whole battalion as the most daring and daring person, otherwise he would not be able to hold the position of captain at such a young age.
He had more than 200 men under his command, all of whom were cavalry. The Changzi Battalion was not considered an elite among the Langzhou border guards. The whole battalion had more than 300 horses, basically all of which were in the hands of Chu Beizhan.
In other words, Chu Beizhan's captain is the strongest combat force in Changziying.
The Yan army is so arrogant. If he doesn't go out of the city to kill the Yan army, what else is he waiting for?
"Good boy, the cavalry is so handsome."
"When can we have such a cavalry? I'm envious~"
More than two hundred cavalry were like an arrow off the string, thrusting straight forward with such majesty that Qin Xi and the others were stunned.
Men should strengthen themselves. Who doesn’t want to carry a gun and ride a horse to fight on the battlefield?
Chu Beizhan at this moment made everyone jealous.
Gu Sinian's eyes were profound, and he was thinking about something different from others.
Looking at the entire Changzi camp, from top to bottom, decadence was in full swing. Most of the soldiers were as fearful as tigers when they encountered the Yan soldiers. However, Chu Beizhan's subordinates dared to attack the Yan army head-on with only more than 200 people. No one showed their face. With fear.
What does it mean?
It shows that this person is a genius in leading troops!
Soon enough, the cavalry had already charged in front of them.
"drink!"
Chu Beizhan was seen alone, one person took the lead in digging the formation, and the spear in his hand was like a dragon emerging from the water, with a threatening momentum.
A Yan Jun standing in front had a frightened look in his eyes, and he subconsciously wanted to draw his sword to stop him, but the tip of his spear floated towards him.
"Chi~"
"Pfft!"
The blood-soaked corpse was lifted high by Chu Beizhan's gun and slammed into the crowd. The Yan soldiers fell on their backs.
"kill!"
With a roar, the cavalry rushed past.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Pffffffffffff~"
"Ahhhh~"
"Stop them, stop them quickly!"
"Pffffffffffff~"
"Ahhhh~"
Gu Sinian's arrow and Chu Beizhan's charge formed an invisible synergy, causing chaos in front of the Yan army.
Even though there were only about two hundred cavalry, they were running rampant in the Yan army's formation, as if they were in a deserted land. Wherever the cavalry passed, Yan soldiers fell one after another under the blades of the horses' hoofs.
Chu Beizhan knew very well that fighting outside the city relied on a rush of energy!
Gu Sinian murmured:
"After all, he is a person who is favored by the general of the first battalion. He is courageous, courageous, and has real ability."
Not everyone who leads the army can charge with more than two hundred cavalry. Chu Beizhan's attack points are all the weak points of the Yan army's formation, and the angles are extremely tricky, which requires accurate judgment of the overall formation.
Zeng Lingchuan also praised:
"Tiger General, we rarely see such brave men among our frontier troops.
Tsk tsk, given time, this Chu Beizhan will probably become the number one figure in the border army. "
"That's all for the future."
A flash of worry flashed in Qin Xi's eyes:
"If he doesn't show up, he will be in danger~"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Pffffffffffff~"
"Ahh~"
Although the Yan army was caught off guard at the beginning, they had been on the battlefield for a long time, and the armies cooperated tacitly. The cavalry on both wings began to close up in the middle without waiting for a greeting, and the infantry also hugged each other. Give Chu Beizhan a chance to rush and kill indiscriminately.
If this situation continues, these two hundred cavalrymen will definitely be surrounded by the Yan army.
Then it will be death!
"Don't panic, he's coming out!"
Gu Sinian's eyes had been following the movement of the cavalry. When the Yan soldiers tried to close the encirclement, Chu Beizhan began to lead the team back and fight out of the army formation.
The cavalry broke through the fragile infantry defense line of the military formation, returned to their own formation, and retreated into the city leisurely. The Yan army's cavalry, who had come a step late, jumped in anger.
"Huh~"
The moment the cavalry entered the city, everyone let out a long sigh of relief.
pretty!
This charge and kill gave the Yan army a good start and greatly boosted the morale of the army.
But Gu Sinian put away his smile and said in a deep voice:
“Foreplay is over, it’s our turn!
The next siege battle is the most deadly! "
