"Those people? Yes, I asked why Li Xiuzhu left 4,000 black-armored soldiers. It seems that it must be for this matter."
"Report!"
Just as Zhu Zhinuo was thinking, an announcement came.
Zhu Zhinuo hurried out.
"What's up?"
"Return to the general, our reinforcements were found 1 mile outside the city."
Zhu Zhinuo was startled.
"Are you sure it's our reinforcements?"
Silla has attacked the city three times in the past few days, and built the city wall three times. If the cavalry had not appeared behind the enemy at critical moments, and if he had not led his troops to resist to the death, his Yanmen Pass would have been lost long ago.
Are those cavalry going into the city?
But he obviously thought wrong.
The soldier confirmed with excitement: "Yes, they came from the south. The military flag is our military flag, with the word "Su" hanging on it."
Su? Is this the old general Su Qi?
"Come on, come with me to greet you."
If it is really General Su Qi, then his Yanmen Pass will be impregnable immediately.
Zhu Zhinuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that he really didn't want to surrender, he also hesitated, but the two great passes of Juyongguan and Shanhaiguan were back in the hands of Zhou Dynasty, so he didn't dare to surrender.
Surrendering at this time would be asking for death, so he had been defending desperately in the past few days, but despite his desperate efforts, he could hardly fight anymore.
In the past few days, about 10,000 people from Silla died, but the defenders of Yanmen Pass also lost less than 10,000 people.
The ferocity of the enemy was more terrifying than what he had seen before.
Fortunately, reinforcements finally arrived.
Li Xiuzhu was still enjoying himself in the gentle village at this time. He received a message from Luo Shicheng a few days ago. Luo Shicheng gave him one task: stick to it, and leave the rest to him.
Li Xiuzhu didn't come here to grab military glory, and the army's record of taking Juyongguan was enough, not to mention there was a Northern Expeditionary Army, so he naturally accepted the order and enjoyed it.
Luo Shicheng was worthy of being a general. After taking the lead in his own combat power, he sent out cavalry to harass the Silla army outside Yanmen Pass while guarding against foreign enemies.
And he chose the right time, launching an attack every time at the moment when the Silla people had just stormed the city wall.
Jin Dakang was forced to withdraw his troops.
After coming down two or three times, the Silla soldiers' eyes were already red, as if they saw death beckoning.
Jin Dakang also called all the generals in today and said bluntly: "We are almost dead now. If we can't take Yanmen Pass, we will definitely die."
"It's not difficult to defeat Yanmen Pass. The opponents are all veterans and new recruits. The key is the cavalry behind them."
"We still have 18,000 people, and we have to defend the city in the future, so we have to fight to determine the outcome in order for us to survive."
"Next I will launch a total war, and everyone will participate in the siege."
"Now, I need someone to lead 3,000 people and die to buy time for others to attack the city."
"Half an hour, as long as it can hold the cavalry for half an hour."
At this moment, everyone looked at each other, knowing that they would definitely die if they left.
After a short silence, a young man stood up with a sigh.
"My subordinate Li Xiuman is willing to die for Silla. If the general can see my family one day, I hope he can take care of them."
Jin Dakang was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Don't worry, General Li. I will take care of your wife and daughter, so you have nothing to worry about."
Li Xiuman nodded solemnly.
"Then please leave it to the general."
"Um!"
Jin Dakang looked at the others when he heard this.
"In a while, everyone will choose a section of the city wall to attack. Except for the logistics, everyone will have to rush to kill it. We only have this chance."
"Okay, let's all go down and light a fire to make food. We'll attack the city in half an hour."
Just when Jin Dakang was about to fight to the death, he did not expect that an army of 50,000 people entered Yanmen Pass in a mighty manner.
The moment Zhu Zhinuo saw Su Qi, he immediately smiled. He was really this old general.
"General Su, I feel relieved when you come. If you don't come, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."
Su Qi frowned slightly when he heard this.
"What's going on now? The battle report said that General Li captured Juyong Pass. Is it true?"
Zhu Zhinuo nodded quickly.
"It's true. General Li just arrived and captured Juyong Pass that night."
Hearing this, Su Qi's face showed a smile.
"It seems that us veterans have underestimated this little guy."
"What happened next? What is he doing now?"
Zhu Zhinuo hesitated after hearing this.
"I don't know about this either. Now Silla has cut off the connection between Yanmen Pass and Juyong Pass."
"Now there is a group of our cavalry outside. Silla almost attacked three times, but the other party harassed us at critical moments and was able to counterattack."
"It's just that this team, the general doesn't know which army it belongs to."
Su Qi nodded when he heard this, then turned to a young general on the side and said, "Su Yun, go take over the defense of the northern city."
"promise!"
Su Yun said, leading a group of troops towards the north quickly.
Their army does not move particularly fast and maintains combat effectiveness at all times, so it can go to the battlefield as soon as it arrives.
Thanks to them for coming in time.
As soon as Su Qi arrived at the governor's house, before he had time to calm down, he heard the horn of Silla's attack on the city.
Putting down the tea cup, Su Qi stood up and immediately walked out. At the same time, he ordered: "Let Jia Zhen and Li Yang stand by at the north gate."
"promise!"
After leaving the Sheriff's Mansion, Su Qi quickly walked towards the city gate.
At the same time, seeing the Silla people attacking the city, Luo Chen remembered his father's order and immediately led his men to attack the Silla camp.
At this moment, a cavalry team of about 3,000 men seemed to have been prepared and came over immediately to kill them.
Each of these people has three horses, and they seem to be larger than Luo Chen's team.
The wild galloping of the war horses caused the earth to shake, and countless arrows rained down in the next second.
Although Luo Chen has many people, the opponent's density is small, so the damage is less.
Are these people here to stop them?
Luo Chen felt an uneasy premonition in his heart.
Just a hundred meters short, both sides fired two rounds of arrows.
But after two rounds, the Silla people only injured a few hundred people and thousands of horses at most.
But the war horses had thick skins, so only one or two hundred of them died immediately, while the others were still running, and they were running wildly after being injured.
Luo Cheng's side already suffered more than two thousand casualties.
You must know that Shanhaiguan only has a total of 10,000 cavalry, and they are all one man and one horse.
The next second, the cavalry teams collided with each other, and the impact of the horses instantly stunned both camps.
Instead, Luo Chen's side was crushed back as if being crushed by a torrent.
The horses behind were unable to dodge, and many of them formed chain collisions.
Luo Chen looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, and then he noticed that except for the manned horses, all the other's horses were blindfolded.
Luo Chen's eyes shrank. Needless to say, most of these war horses would definitely be abandoned, but this suicidal attack made him even more uneasy.
The arrows shot again, and Luo Chen and the others could only fight back sparsely.
More than 40% of the cavalry fell off their horses and were trampled.
This wave of losses can be said to be a huge loss.
