However, there should be a limit to marching in a hurry. It took several days to see a city, and there was no one there. Everyone wanted to rest early.

Chapter 378 Bloody Battle

Yuan Xi asked the guide accompanying the army, knowing that there were still ten days before he could reach the Xianbei royal court, so he gritted his teeth and let everyone rest.

A total of more than 20 days, I hope Li Da will not let himself down.

He has sent an order to the left and right armies to let them march on their own, and they don't have to go hand in hand.

Because at the moment Kebi can obviously shrink its troops sharply.

Along the way, there are vast and boundless wilderness everywhere, and no one can be encountered.

The city is an empty city, and the small tribes and villages passing by are all empty. This prairie is unusually quiet, especially at night.

Marching all the way, there was no problem with food. Yuan Xi led the army, and the most important thing was the problem of food.

While resting in the city, Yuan Xi asked everyone to start cutting down nearby trees to make ladders.He knew that going forward, it would be impossible to have empty cities everywhere. If Ke Bineng gave up everything, what would be the use of taking back the royal court?

So when they arrived at Xianbei Royal Court, there must be a city blocking their way.

Facing this kind of city, Yuan Xi still had to take him down, otherwise he would face heavy siege by the enemy and end up with annihilation of the whole army.

After a rest day, Yuan Xi continued to set off. Five days later, Yuan Xi finally led his army to Chile City, the most forward barrier of the Xianbei Royal Court.

As expected, Chile City was indeed heavily guarded. Yuan Xi observed it and found that there were quite a few, about 1 people.

The siege ladders he made were no more than a hundred, and it was undoubtedly difficult to take down this city, which was far stronger than Hulu City.

But there is no way, if you want to gain something, you must attack.

The day before, Yuan Xi had received the news that the army on the left had also encountered resistance, and the difficult siege battle had already begun.

After several battles with Xianbei, Yuan Xi felt that Xianbei's cavalry was the most formidable, which was far inferior to that of the Han cavalry, not to mention the ability to ride horses, even bows and crossbows, which were not at the same level as the opponent.

The bows and arrows of the Han people are generally only three or four hundred steps away, but the Xianbei people have a distance of seven or eight hundred steps. This was known when they fought with Xianbei soldiers in the early days. It is simply that Yuan Xi led heavy cavalry, so there was no What a big loss, but he also equipped all his soldiers with Xianbei crossbows early on.

Therefore, the range of the current bow and crossbow is about the same as that of the Xianbei soldiers, not much worse than the opponent.

Before attacking the city, there must be a few words of intimidation, and Yuan Xi hurried on his way anxiously.Take the guide directly to the city.

He has excellent eyesight, and he saw a general in iron armor on the top of the city from a distance.

So Yuan Xi greeted Xu Chu and said a few words.

When Xu Chu heard this, his bravery was immediately aroused, and he rode his horse directly into the range of the enemy's bow and arrow, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Listen, Xianbei people above, I order you to come down and surrender quickly, otherwise ...!"

Before he finished speaking, a rain of five arrows flew over. Xu Chu casually removed the arrows and cursed: "Listen to me, if you don't surrender, you will enter the city soon, regardless of gender, all of them will be shot to death." !"

His voice was like thunder, and the general on the city wall asked something in Xianbei, and suddenly his face changed, and he cursed endlessly.

The guide hurriedly explained: "The generals in the city said that if you want to fight, you can fight. Xianbei has no generals who surrender!"

Damn, what a good backbone, Yuan Xi was furious, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Listen to me, I'm not just joking, if you don't surrender, I promise to kill the whole city in a while!"

Another rain of arrows followed, Yuan Xi summoned Xu Chu back, waved his hand, and the Xuanjia Corps behind him formed an formation and slowly advanced.Under the huge shield are the soldiers who are hiding the siege.

Yuan Xi had to save some of the ladders for attacking the city.

Xu Chu followed Yuan Xi, looking at the Xuanjia Corps that was still advancing steadily amidst the rain of arrows, he couldn't help but his mouth cracked, and he said with a smile: "My lord, attack in later, do you want to massacre the city?"

Yuan Xi said coldly: "The opportunity has been given to them. They will attack in a while, and none of the soldiers will be left behind!"

"Okay!" Xu Chu laughed.For these Xianbei soldiers, he owed nothing to them.

But although the idea is good, the progress is also very exciting.

However, under the protection of the archers below, the Xuanjia soldiers holding the ladders to attack the city, even though they blocked the rain of arrows, when they put the ladders on the city wall, they still encountered fierce resistance. It's not something the armor on his body can stop.

Not long after, more than a dozen ladders were destroyed like this, and the soldiers on the ladders were naturally not much better.

The Xianbei people were not good at defending the city, and the tools for defending the city were only stones and bows and arrows. Now the bows and arrows are useless, but the stones made Yuan Xi close his eyes helplessly.

In fact, this city is extremely easy to conquer, and stones are not a big problem. The biggest problem is that there are too few ladders.

There is no way to attack with full force.

Since this is already the most hinterland of Xianbei, there are quite a lot of trees. Looking at the situation in front of him, Yuan Xi knew that these ladders would probably be used up soon.

The soldiers had to go nearby and continue to build the ladder.

An hour later, Yuan Xi ordered all the soldiers to retreat. The Xianbei soldiers at the top of the city were surprisingly tenacious. They attacked for a long time. Even if two or three people attacked occasionally, they were quickly strangled.

Yuan Xi planned to change his strategy to attack the city.

Because he got a fairly good news.

The real Xianbei soldiers actually pulled most of the soldiers to the south city to guard the city, and the other three sides of the city, but left hundreds of people to guard.

I didn't expect that I only attacked one side, which was already real enough. The general Xianbei was more real than myself.

A good opportunity cannot be missed, but the daytime is not suitable for siege.

He was going to save the time until night, to attack the south city frontally, and then quietly send soldiers to attack the other two sides, leaving one side, which is what Sun Wu said about encircling the three ques, which can not only save troops, but also prevent the enemy from giving up and escaping. thought.

When Yuan Xi was attacking the city in full swing, the left and right army were not much better.There was also fierce resistance.

Behind is the royal court of Xianbei. Although it has been captured now, they believe that they will take it back soon, so of course they can no longer just give up some fortresses like before.

Fighting to the death is not only Ke Bineng's order, but also the last determination of their Xianbei soldiers!

Xianbei Royal Court!

After conquering the Xianbei royal court, Li Dayi, who caused chaos throughout Xianbei, is currently in a very bad situation.

So far, they have lost more than half of them, and only half of their soldiers are defending the city.

Chapter 379

These days, if it weren't for the presence of the city defender Hao Zhao, Li Da estimated that the Xianbei royal court would have been conquered long ago.

During the break, Li Da patrolled the city, looking at the densely packed Xianbei soldiers in the distance, he couldn't help feeling sad.

He turned his head and asked, "Bo Dao, where do you think the lord's soldiers and horses should be now?"

Hao Zhao, who is full of determination, has already been scarred and has a broken arm because he has been fighting on the front line.

But his facial expression is still resolute, a symbol of unyielding.
