"Kill them!"
"Release the arrows!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
On the second day after the Barbarian Wolf Army arrived, another 200,000 soldiers arrived at Border Town. A total of 350,000 troops and more than 100,000 miscellaneous troops arrived. They built siege weapons overnight and launched an attack on Border Town.
On the north gate tower, Qi Lun, the Northguard Marquis, Lu Da of the Black Forest Guard, and the general of the Black Wind Guard were all on the tower.
As an important border town, the city walls of Border Town were more than five zhang tall, and the top could accommodate more than ten people walking side by side. There were sufficient defensive equipment, and the arsenal in the city was even equipped with arrows and other armaments.
Facing the attack of the Barbarian Wolf Army, neither the Northguard Marquis nor the other generals were worried.
In the morning, the Barbarian Wolf Army attacked the city four times, but they were all defeated. The dense rain of arrows caused more than 20,000 casualties, and corpses littered the ground.
But even so, when the bell rang, the barbarian wolf army still retreated in an orderly manner. Qi Lun and the other generals who wanted to take the opportunity to launch a counterattack couldn't find an opportunity.
" Great General, the Barbarian Wolf Army has lost at least 20,000 soldiers, but they are retreating in an orderly manner. This…" Lu Da looked at the retreating barbarian wolf army and felt a shadow in his heart.
"A storm is coming. Generals, go and prepare. From now on, we must tighten the defense of the four walls.”Qilun said.
"Here! We accept your orders!"
The generals cupped their fists and returned to their headquarters.
…….
For a few days, the Barbarian Wolf Army attacked the city continuously. Although Border Town managed to push them back every time, they suffered greater losses each time. Arrows, wood, and other defensive weapons were used up very quickly.
The Barbarian Wolf Army outside the city seemed to be the same every day.
After breakfast, they beat the drums and marched forward, attacking the north, east, and west walls with great momentum. After losing tens of thousands of people, they retreated.
As a result, the Barbarian Wolf Army lost seventy to eighty thousand soldiers, while the Border Town lost twenty thousand soldiers.
Fortunately, the Barbarian Wolf Army did not attack the city wall. Otherwise, the casualties in Town Border City would have been even greater.
Even so, there were still nearly 400,000 soldiers outside the city.
"Report…!"
The next morning, in the temporary General's Mansion, the soldiers carrying the flag entered the hall and saluted Qi Lun with cupped fists."Reporting to Great General, the Barbarian Wolf Army outside the city is acting strangely. Two hundred thousand soldiers have set up camps five miles away from the east, west, south, and north walls!”
"What?" " Let's go!" Qilun suddenly stood up and said," Let's go up the city wall!"”
As he spoke, he walked out, followed by his personal guards!
After climbing up the city wall and looking at the new camp built five miles away from the north city, Qilun's expression turned ugly.
"Great General, there are new camps in the west, east, and south regions.”Lu Da reported to Qi Lun from the side.
"Damn it!"
After walking around the city wall, Qilun's expression turned ugly.
Before this, the barbarian wolf army had only set up camp 20 miles to the north. When they attacked, they had left the southern wall behind to surround the city.
It made Qilun think that they wanted to attack Border Town.
A night later, the Barbarian Wolf Army set up four camps and surrounded the town.
In the main camp, there were close to 200,000 elites.
Qilun saw through the other party's intentions in an instant, but it was already too late.
The barbarian wolf army was blocked by Zhen Bian City. They didn't dare to go south before they broke through Zhen Bian City.
But now, Border Town was surrounded by 200,000 soldiers. The remaining 100,000 elites could be sent out to plunder the other cities. In this way, the Youzhou border army, which originally held the initiative, would be forced into a passive position.
If they wanted to send troops to stop the pillaging army, they could only send the Black Wind Guards, who were all cavalry.
However, with the addition of the Black Wind Guards, there were only 70,000 soldiers in Town Border City.
If they sent out too few troops, they might not even be able to break out of the encirclement of 200,000 enemies.
Even if they managed to charge out, they would suffer heavy losses.
How to solve the crisis of Youzhou?
However, if all the Black Wind Guards were sent out, there would only be twenty thousand soldiers left in the city. Including the young and strong, there would only be a few tens of thousands more. If that happened, Border Town would definitely be in danger.
"Heh, there's an expert in the barbarian wolf army.”Qilun looked at the enemy's main camp twenty miles away with killing intent in his eyes and snorted coldly.
"Great General, what should we do now?”Lu Da and the others didn't reply and could only ask for instructions.
"Hmph, wait, wait for the reinforcements to arrive. At that time, I will make the barbarian wolf army pay a heavy price!”
What should he do? This was a problem.
Faced with the siege of 200,000 soldiers, Qilun had no better idea.
Now, they could only wait for the reinforcements from the Imperial Court to arrive. The two of them would help each other out before they could think of anything else.
However, even if he didn't have a good solution for now, Qilun wasn't prepared to let these guys have it easy.
With a wave of his hand, he summoned the commander of the Black Wind Guards to give him instructions.
"Here!" After hearing this, the Black Wind Guard general cupped his fists and left with his generals.
During the day, the Barbarian Wolf Army outside the city had tens of thousands of soldiers. They split into several groups and headed south. It was obvious that they were going to plunder and attack other cities. The enemies outside the city didn't make any moves.
At night, the army of Border Town was on guard against the enemy outside the city.
At the end of the ugly time and the beginning of the Yin time, it was the time when people were tired and horses were tired.
The south gate of Border Town quietly opened. Nearly 20,000 cavalrymen, carrying arrows and kerosene, quietly left Border Town.
"Ha!"
"Kill them!"
Tens of thousands of cavalry suddenly charged out from the south camp, and a rain of arrows killed thousands of soldiers guarding the main gate. Taking advantage of the enemy's panic, they broke through the barricade and charged into the camp.
Kill!
Along with the battle cries, the 20,000 Great Qian cavalrymen split into several groups and charged into the camp of the Barbarian Wolves. At the same time, they threw out the fire oil cans that they carried and smashed them on the tents and rations.
Then, a fire arrow flew out from the cavalry formation and hit something that was stained with kerosene.
Hong, immediately after, the kerosene was quickly ignited, and the flames soared into the sky.
In the South Camp, the sounds of killing shook the sky. The Barbarian Wolf Army was in a temporary panic. After thousands of people were killed, they began to gather under the orders of the generals and counterattacked the cavalrymen who had rushed into the camp.
At the same time, the east and west camps heard the battle cries and discovered that the south camp was on fire. They increased their vigilance and sent 20,000 cavalrymen to support the south camp.
After a round of killing, the 20,000 Great Qian cavalrymen had lost thousands. They passed through the Barbaric Wolf Army camp and rushed into the night, heading south and disappearing into the night.
The commander of the Southern Camp, who had left the Barbarian Wolves behind, shouted angrily to extinguish the fire and clean up the battlefield.
Looking at the raging fire in the camp and the corpses of the tens of thousands of men under his command, the South Camp commander's expression was ugly and filled with killing intent.
However, he no longer had the chance to take revenge.
That night, this Barbarian Wolf General was sent back to the main camp by a military order. His position as the commander of the Southern Camp was taken over by another general.
In the General's mansion in Border Town, Qilun smiled after hearing the battle report.
These grassland barbarians didn't use their military might, but instead used tactics. I'll let them know what it means to be caught off guard.
Do you really think that I won't dare to send my troops out and allow you to wreak havoc in Youzhou Province just because you've surrounded Border Town?
The Great Gan is your ancestor!
