Just as Dongfang Yu and others suspected, Gongsun Yan abandoned the camp stationed on the front line and moved all his troops to Xiongcheng.
Qin's spies were not vegetarians. When Gongsun Yang just launched his army, Qin's spies discovered him.
"Your Majesty, Gongsun Yan has fallen into a passive position, and I am afraid he is also scared in his heart." Xu Meng said.
"Um!"
Dongfang Yu nodded slightly, "We can't let the Yan army withdraw so easily!"
"Jiang Hao and Pei Yuanqing obey orders!"
"The general is here!"
"Order your general, with Pei Yuanqing as his deputy, to lead fifty thousand troops and attack the Yan army immediately! The intention is to harass and slow down the Yan army's retreat. Of course! If you two can defeat the Yan army's defense line in one fell swoop, Breakthrough, then! All of Gongsun Yan’s twenty armies must stay here.”
Dongfang Yu said.
If the Yan army cannot evacuate in time, when Ma Chao, Hu Xiaoyue, Shangguan Wenhao, and two hundred thousand cavalry gather in Xiongcheng, Gongsun Yan will want to retreat. It will be impossible!
However, Gongsun Yan has always been careful, and he will not be unaware of this problem. The reason why he said this is because he hopes that Jiang Hao can bring him different surprises like Huo Ji.
"Promise! The end will be inevitable, so do your best."
Jiang Hao knew how powerful Gongsun Yan was. The latter was just an old fox. It was not easy to break through Yan's defense line!
He did not dare to issue the military order that must be taken.
"The remaining generals, when the Yan army retreats, organize the armies and prepare for the general attack." Dongfang Yu said loudly.
At this time, Hu Xiaoyue and Shangguan Wenhao launched attacks on the border of Yan State from two directions, one from the north and one from the south.
There are very few Yan troops stationed on the border, so! It is almost impossible to stop the two of them.
Jiang Hao, Pei Yuanqing and other generals have led the army to launch the most violent attack on the Yan army's defense line.
Just as Dongfang Yu imagined, Gongsun Yan asked his general Gongsun Bo to lead an army of 30,000 to defend to the death.
The Yan Army's resistance to the Qin Army was also very tenacious. No matter how the Qin Army attacked, the Yan Army never left its position.
Soon, Che Qianqiu, who led the army to leave the front line and attack Xiongcheng, and an army of 50,000, tightly surrounded Xiongcheng from all four directions.
Huo Ji, who was on the top of the city, suddenly felt numb on his scalp when he saw the densely packed Yan army outside the city.
"General, the Yan army is attacking the city from all sides. We, the people, are spread out to defend at four points. In less than an hour, the city will be lost!" the deputy general said with a frown.
"Damn it!" Huo Ji clenched his fist and hit the city wall hard.
"By the way, did I ask you to take out all the gunpowder piled up by the Yan army in the city's warehouse?" Huo Ji looked at the latter.
"Don't worry, general. If the city cannot be defended, we will kill it together with all the grain, artillery, equipment, etc. that the Yan army has hoarded in the city." said the deputy general.
Huo Ji only saw perseverance on the faces of these soldiers, and he was not frightened by the strength of the soldiers who were several times his own!
"Okay, fight to the death today and live or die with Xiongcheng." Huo Ji said firmly.
At the main entrance, the general's flag spread out in the wind was extremely dazzling.
"There are only more than 3,000 people in Huoji?" Hearing, as a young general, told Che Qianqiu the situation detected.
Che Qianqiu looked in disbelief. Five thousand people could actually capture a city garrisoned by 10,000 troops? How did Huo Ji do it?
"However, three thousand people cannot withstand the attack of my fifty thousand army!" Che Qianqiu said coldly.
"Send the order, the front line is tight, the army will attack the city quickly."
Woo woo woo…
As the horn of the main city gate sounded.
Ten thousand soldiers and horses stationed outside the east gate, south gate, and north gate immediately rushed toward Xiongcheng.
Kill~
The rumbling sound of killing echoed for a long time in the four directions of heaven and earth.
The attack at the main gate became more fierce, but Qin Bing did not show any fear.
Five hundred soldiers were stationed in each of the three towers in the east, south and north, and more than a thousand soldiers were stationed at the main city gate.
When the Yan army attacked, the generals of each sect immediately pointed at the Yan army and roared.
"shoot!"
The Qin soldiers who had already set up their bows and arrows immediately loosened the strings in their hands, and then! Sharp arrows were shot towards Yan Jun.
Xiongcheng is almost the treasury of the Yan army on the front line. In the treasury, you can get whatever you want, so! In Xiongchengli, the most indispensable thing is weapons.
Five hundred people turned into archers, and the arrows fell quickly, "ta-ta", piercing the bodies of many Yan soldiers, and the empty arrows hit the ground.
Five hundred arrows are actually quite a lot.
The Yan army quickly held the shield in their hands in front of them and braved the rain of arrows to attack. The arrows hit the shield with a "clack".
However, even with the cover of shields, many Yan soldiers were still unable to block all the arrows. Some of the arrows hit Yan Bing's thigh directly, causing instant severe pain and making Yan Bing fall down instantly. Come down.
But without paying attention, the fallen soldier was shot through the back.
"Archers, fight back!"
The leading general immediately shouted.
Thousands of Yan soldiers' archers stood in rows and fired at the Qin army with a "tear" sound. The arrows were very fierce, like raindrops. The Qin soldiers who were preparing to fire back arrows killed many of the Yan soldiers in the blink of an eye.
The battle at the main entrance was the most intense, and the ladders had been set up on the wall of Xiongcheng.
Huo Ji commanded the army and tried his best to fight back. Even so, the Yan soldiers climbed up.
Under the ladder, there were many Yan soldiers and many Qin soldiers standing. Even though they were stabbed several times, they resolutely lit the bombs tied to their bodies and jumped off the tower.
Several meters of mud splashed down from the city, and the huge power of the shells killed more than a dozen people on the ground in an instant.
The Qin army was brave and not afraid of death. They used their own bodies to fight against the Yan soldiers.
And below the tower, wherever the ladder has been erected, there will be an extremely deep pit.
The ladder that was originally erected to climb the city was shattered into pieces in an instant.
Oh my god, at this moment, Qin Bing's desperate fighting style completely made Yan Bing terrified, and the cold was already deep in his bones.
Terrible, Qin Bing is really terrible.
Che Qianqiu in the distance looked at the Xiongcheng. From time to time, Qin soldiers jumped down from the towers, which would explode instantly. If the Yan soldiers under the city stood in large numbers, the bombs would kill them instantly.
The one that killed the most people, at least a dozen people, made the Yan soldiers dare not stand under the tower.
"well!"
Che Qianqiu sighed, "How can mortals like us be able to defeat these Qin soldiers who are even risking their lives?"
It is not unreasonable why the Qin army became the strongest army in the world.
