Chapter 79: The Time of the Decisive Battle
Chapter 79 The decisive battle
"It's not a surprise attack, but we can ambush the moat around Qingzhou City in advance." Han Shidi and Zhao Yi began to discuss methods in front of the map.
In the past, there were only a few people in Qingzhou City, and it was already difficult to defend the city alone. Now that they have 20,000 troops, they can do a lot more things.
The armies of both sides rested for a day and a night. The news about the assassination of the Sixth Prince by the Zhou soldiers had spread. Under the instigation and publicity of Tuoba Yu and others, the hatred and fighting spirit of the Wei soldiers reached their maximum!
The final battle is about to begin!
Originally, the commander-in-chief of the Western Army planned to take Tuobayu into the water in order to get rid of his guilt. After all, those who killed the Sixth Prince were wearing Tuobayu's Bauhinia uniforms.
But as soon as the fighting stopped yesterday, Tuoba Yu sent someone to invite him and asked the doctor in charge to report to him in detail the matter of the missing bodies of thousands of soldiers.
But he didn't have the patience to listen to this. He only interrupted the doctor impatiently and asked: "How many people are there, and have their bodies been found?"
"Reporting to General Mu, a total of 1,235 missing soldiers were thrown into the moat outside Qingzhou City. Now they have all been fished out, but all their military uniforms are missing!"
General Mu, the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, was obviously not willing to be dismissed like this. He asked with stern eyes: "In full view of everyone, how did the Zhou soldiers in Qingzhou City come out of the city, and how did they pull off the uniforms of so many people under your noses?"
, and then throw them into the moat!"
The doctor was stunned by the question and replied anxiously: "Reporting to General Mu, this is also something that the general is puzzled to understand at this time..."
General Mu turned to look at Tuobayu, restrained his tone slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Third Highness, this result will not satisfy Your Majesty and Empress He Lai!"
"It's not in front of everyone. It's been dark these past few days and things can't be seen clearly at night. Most of the Zhou troops are navy infantry, good at water. They hid in the moat and stole the uniforms of our soldiers and left them in the river.
It’s not difficult.”
Tuobayu explained calmly, "General Mu must have not forgotten what happened at Yunshui Lake last night!"
General Mu turned pale when he heard this, turned around and left without saying a word.
Just when he was about to leave the camp, Tuoba Yu's young but majestic voice came again, "Today at the end of the Shen Dynasty, the entire army launched an attack on Qingzhou City at the same time. I also hope that General Mu will clean up the army. If there is any slack, delay the opportunity to kill him."
No mercy!"
General Mu turned around and lowered his head slightly and responded gloomily: "General, I will obey your orders!"
As the sun set in the west, nearly 40,000 troops of the Wei army came towards Qingzhou City in a mighty manner. They roared and roared and vowed to use the blood of everyone in Qingzhou City to pay homage to their dead sixth prince.
"Massacre the city!"
"Massacre the city!"
"Kill them all!"
An overwhelming murderous aura swept over the city, but Han Shidi, Zhao Yi and other soldiers on the tower remained silent. They clenched their weapons and stared seriously at the dark Wei army that was getting closer and closer.
When they were about to enter the shooting range, Han Shidi raised his long arrow and aimed it at Tuoba Yu from a distance, and whispered to himself: "It seems that you and I are really destined. Jiankang has been unable to decide the winner several times, so today let us have a real showdown."
Let’s win or lose!”
After saying that, Han Shidi turned the long arrow in his hand and shot it at the high flying military flag of the Wei Dynasty.
The night Tuoba Yu left Jiankang, he had seen Han Shidi's archery skills, and it was the long arrow in his hand that disabled one of his most ferocious generals.
Although Helianbo was lucky enough to survive, even if he recovered in the future, he would never be able to return to his previous period of complete victory.
So when he saw Han Shidi raising his long bow again, Tuoba Yu also raised the long bow in his hand and pointed it at the Qingzhou Tower.
Han Shidi's arrow hit the Wei military flag steadily, leaving a small hole in the Wei military flag quickly. The military flag fell back gently under the momentum of the long arrow, and the soldiers carrying the flag also
He was thrown backward by the military flag belt and almost fell down.
But Tuoba Yu's arrow flew against the wind, lost its power an inch in front of the Great Zhou military flag, and fell straight to the ground.
The two armies tried it out for the first time. Dazhou was slightly better, and his momentum suddenly rose. Han Shidi took advantage of the situation and raised his long sword and ordered: "Shoot!"
At this time, literally thousands of arrows were fired. The sky red with the setting sun outside Qingzhou City was covered by dense long arrows, as if it was suddenly covered with clouds.
Soon, countless Wei troops were shot by these nightmarish long arrows, stopping their progress.
Someone soon joined them, this time holding shields in front of them and advancing step by step.
After losing a large number of soldiers, they arrived near the moat.
Immediately, soldiers set up a trebuchet, loaded stones as big as human heads, and hurled them at the gate tower.
Upon seeing this, Han Shidi ordered his soldiers to roll the prepared logs and stones and throw them at the Wei army.
Just as the two sides were stalemate, a team of a thousand people suddenly emerged from the moat. They quickly jumped up and charged at the Wei army, which was only busy dodging the random arrows and rolling stones on the tower, and even destroyed some of them.
Their trebuchets.
After the Wei army reacted, they had already quickly hid in the moat.
Someone immediately separated a team and ran to the moat and fired randomly inside, but the river was calm and there was no reaction.
When everyone was confused, a rope was suddenly thrown out of the river and hooked their legs. Before they could ask for help, they were dragged into the river and never came up again. They only turned into red blood flowers in the river.
spread.
This team of thousands of people in the water appeared on one side and on the other side. The Wei army had no way to deal with them for the time being. They could only allocate part of their troops to deal with this group of water ghosts alone!
At the same time, the right wing of the Wei army was attacked by the Zhou army.
The opponent brought thousands of people and set up snagging ropes in advance. All the Wei army's men fell to the ground. This team took advantage of your illness to kill you and rushed forward to kill these people.
The leader of this team was naturally Zhao Fu, who did not appear on the city tower. They were once again used as a surprise force to attack the Wei Dynasty. Although they did not have the same miraculous effect as before, they still firmly restrained the progress of the Wei army's right wing.
The left wing of the Wei army also suffered the same fate, and Han Shidi's leading general led troops to attack the left wing of the Wei army.
Therefore, the Wei army only had about 10,000 central troops left to attack the city.
After this group of Wei troops advanced another two hundred steps, Han Shidi's reinforcements finally left the city. They met the Wei troops head-on and had an upright fight.
The fighting in this siege lasted for almost half a night. When it was almost dawn, Tuoba Yu ordered people to carry hundreds of barrels of kerosene and poured them into the moat in an instant. Several torches were gently thrown in, and the surface of the moat was
In time, it turned into a sea of fire, and the Zhou soldiers hiding in the water could no longer make a surprise attack from here.
Han Shidi's face became solemn when he saw this, worried that the soldiers in the water would not have time to evacuate.
But he didn't care about anything else and ordered the soldiers to bring up their final preparations!
Chapter completed!
