North of Dai County, Sun Ce's infantry and cavalry had all gathered here.
After taking down Yunzhong, Sun Ce obtained a large number of cattle, sheep, and horses, and was in a dilemma of having horses but no soldiers!
After a few days of recruitment, there were only 6,000 more soldiers who were skilled in horsemanship, and they were all added to Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun's army.
Adding on the previous military strength, there were now 22,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, a total of 40,000 soldiers.
Sun Ce looked at the high walls of Mayi and knew that once this city was breached, the Xianbei people in Dai County would face a catastrophe. The nomadic people who had troubled the northern part of the Han Dynasty for a long time would be completely eliminated!
He suddenly felt heroic and immediately shouted,"Mayi is right in front. This is the only way to enter Dai County from the grasslands! Are you all prepared for a bloody battle?”
The blood of the soldiers of the three armies surged, and they all responded excitedly.
"After today, there will be no more Xianbei people in the world! Everyone, you will witness this great victory. You will all become the God of War who protects the people!”
Sun Ce's words caused the morale of the soldiers to reach its peak!
Zhao Yun, who was standing behind Sun Ce, was so excited that she almost cried out when she heard his voice and heard his description of the peerless great cause!
"Once, when I was still a teenager, I knew that the Xianbei people were at the border and had been plundering the people of the Great Han Dynasty all year round!”
"I, Zhao Zilong, have been practicing martial arts since I was young. I have been working hard so that one day, I can defeat the Xianbei people and destroy the Xianbei race!”
"In Gongsun Zan's hands, I was mediocre. Now that I'm under the lord's command, I'm actually going to realize my childhood dream!”
"Destroy the Xianbei and strengthen our Great Han!"
Zhao Yun's eyes were filled with passion!
He was even more fanatical than the most devout believer Sun Ce had ever seen!
Sun Ce believed that if Zhao Yun were to charge at Mayi alone, Zhao Yun would not hesitate to do so!
Looking at Zhao Yun's loyalty, it was already full of 100!
"Charge!"
Under the expectant gazes of the 40,000 soldiers, Sun Ce finally gave the final order!
"Kill!"
The anger that had been suppressed in everyone's hearts for a long time suddenly gushed out, urging them to quickly rush towards Mayi!
Mayi City was tall, but it was not built by Xianbei people.
After hundreds of years, the Xianbei people were still nomadic and were not good at defending the city.
The most obvious sign of their inability to defend the city was the short crossbows they used.
This kind of short crossbow was only used when the light cavalry on the grasslands charged forward. It was used to charge back and forth, and its power was huge!
The range was short, but with the agility of the warhorse, it could still cause considerable damage!
However, when defending a city, these short crossbows with a short range became their fatal weakness!
Although Sun Ce's archers had a hard time shooting, they still had the advantage when shooting with their longbows!
After a few rounds of shooting, the Xianbei soldiers on the city walls were killed one after another. However, on Sun Ce's side, the countless short crossbows were all within ten feet of the soldiers, but they couldn't even touch them, let alone hurt them!
"Squat, squat! We'll kill them when they reach the wall!”A Xianbei general on the city wall immediately felt that he had mastered the secret to defending the city. Under his arrangements, all the soldiers squatted behind the arrow stacks and no longer used their short crossbows to die.
"He's taking the ladder up the city!" Long Qie roared and took the lead. He wore heavy armor and rushed up the ladder, quickly approaching the city wall.
"He's coming up! Quickly get the ladder down!" The soldiers hiding behind the arrow stack immediately stood up and wanted to push down the ladder.
Some of the ladders were too high and reached the Xianbei people's arrow holes. They were easily pushed down by the soldiers on top.
The ladder on Longqie's side was still three feet high from the gap between the arrow stacks. The soldiers on top could not use their strength. They tried a few times to no avail. Longqie immediately laughed sinisterly, scaring the two soldiers so much that they accidentally fell off the city wall.
"How dare you destroy my ladder with this bit of courage! Haha!" Long Qie cackled and suddenly realized that there were two Xianbei people holding knives and axes, trying to cut down the ladder!
"Damn it! Get lost!" Dragon roared and threw his weapon, sending a soldier flying!
The other person wanted to slash, but Dragon pulled out his sword and was about to throw it at him. That person was so scared that he immediately shrank back. Seeing that Dragon did not throw his sword, he mustered his courage and stood up again!
"Die!" Dragon roared and threw the sword away!
At this moment, he was already infinitely close to the city wall and was about to climb up!
However, at this moment, many Xianbei people suddenly threw wood and stones at him. The dragon was unarmed, and after being smashed a few times, he felt pain all over his body.
When Xue Rengui saw this scene, he immediately took out his Sky Shaking Bow and shot out three arrows in a row. Three soldiers on the city wall fell to the ground!
"Haha! Thanks!" Long Qie seized the opportunity and jumped up. He finally reached the top of the city wall. After killing a Xianbei person with a punch, he immediately snatched the curved sword from the Xianbei person's hand and charged back and forth a few times. The Xianbei people around him were all killed!
When the soldiers behind saw that Long Qi had already reached the top of the city wall, they were all extremely excited and did their best to climb up. Not long after, more soldiers rushed up. In an hour, after nearly ten thousand corpses had been handed over, the Xianbei people were finally killed and no longer dared to come up!
"If you don't come, I'll go down!" Ever since Long Qie had followed Sun Ce across the river, he had never experienced a real battle. Today's siege battle was his highlight!
He flew down from the top of the city wall and directly charged into the enemy's chaotic army. Although his mount was outside the city, this did not affect his performance. The double-edged axe spun left and right continuously. Anyone who was touched by this divine weapon was almost cut into two!
The bloody scene was simply unprecedented. Wherever the dragon passed, blood rain would immediately fall from the clear sky!
"Haha! You foreign races have invaded my territory and disturbed my people. Today, I will follow my master's orders and kill all of you!”
After a while of killing, the city gate guards were completely blocked and almost all of them were killed. The city gate fell and was opened by the dragon. Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun, who had been waiting outside for a long time, immediately rushed in.
When the Xianbei people inside saw that the city gate was broken, they immediately reported to Kobineng in fear.
Kobineng was waiting for the good news in his mansion, but he heard the bad news that the city was broken. He was so scared that he immediately jumped up, put on his armor, took his weapon, and fled on his horse.
As soon as Kobineng left, the Xianbei army immediately spread the news. They lost their will to fight and decisively rushed out of the south gate like a broken dam.
"Chase! Leave no one alive! Kill them all!"
With Sun Ce's order, Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun led their troops to attack the Xianbei people, not giving them any chance to breathe.
