When they arrived at the city wall, they saw a mighty 60,000-strong Zhou army led by You Kan.
Since entering the Weibei Valley, the 60,000-strong army has basically not had much rest and has gone straight towards Weibei City.
It seemed that they planned to rely on their numerical advantage to catch Weibei City off guard and forcefully capture Weibei City.
Yu Xun stood on the city wall and sneered. He was able to resist an army of 50,000 with only 5,000 soldiers. How could he not have any real ability?
These people thought they could capture Weibei City in this way, but they were just dreaming.
"Everyone is on alert, archers are ready." Yu Xun shouted, standing on the city wall to give command.
The Zhou army arrived suddenly, but the soldiers under his command were managed very well and their execution ability was very strong.
In a short period of time, the army was organized and prepared to resist the enemy.
The Zhou army divided into two directions to attack, namely the east gate and the north gate of Weibei City. The momentum seemed to be quite high.
"The main force gathers at the east gate!" Yu Xun issued the order and personally led five thousand elites to the east gate.
Some people wonder why Yu Xun was able to conclude that the main force of Zhou Dynasty would attack the east gate.
"The terrain in the east is gentle, making it easier to march. The Zhou cavalry are good at charging. Once they break through the city gate, they will definitely cause us huge damage and capture Weibei City in one fell swoop."
Yu Xun's calm analysis is rational, orderly and convincing.
Soon, they arrived at the east gate of Weibei City, and sure enough they saw that the Zhou army had arrived at the gate of Weibei City.
"I am You Kan, the commander-in-chief of the Great Zhou Dynasty. You traitors, why don't you surrender quickly?"
You Kan raised his sword high and shouted at Yu Xun.
The Great Zhou Kingdom has never recognized the Dachuan Kingdom and the Dashun Kingdom. Although the two countries established themselves as countries and proclaimed themselves emperors, they were not orthodox.
"Where does this unknown young general dare to speak out? Weibei is so strong that you and others cannot covet it."
Yu Xun didn't know You Kan at all, so he talked to You Kan from a long distance away.
If the general was someone like Jing Zhao or Kou Zaixiong, Yu Xun might be deeply afraid of him.
But for a nobody like You Kan, Yu Xun couldn't help but feel a little more disdainful.
However, he is not an idiot. Since the opponent can lead the army to attack Weibei City, he naturally has two brushes.
Therefore, Yu Xun did not show any contempt.
The two sides did not quarrel for a few words, and You Kan began to attack the city.
The Zhou army brought ladders and chariots, and it seemed that they were preparing to take Weibei City in one fell swoop.
When someone saw this scene, they were immediately filled with admiration for Xun. It seemed that the main force of the Zhou Dynasty was indeed at the east gate of Weibei City.
"Everyone, swear to protect Weibei City to the death." Yu Xun shouted, stimulating the morale of the soldiers.
Yu Xun's reputation in Dachuan is not low. With him leading the army, the morale of the soldiers is naturally high.
Moreover, the Zhou army was coming fiercely, but it seemed that the number of the army was only a few tens of thousands, and it could not bring about absolute crushing.
"Shoot an arrow!" You Kan pointed his sword toward the sky and ordered loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, arrows filled the sky from behind the Zhou army and shot at the defenders on the wall of Weibei City.
However, among the defenders of Weibei City, soldiers carrying shields also came out and stood at the front, blocking most of the arrows.
Before he could relax, another volley of arrows was fired towards the defenders on the city wall.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the vanguard army of the Zhou Dynasty quickly stepped forward, set up the ladder, and followed the ladder to capture the city wall.
Yu Xun reacted very quickly and quickly issued a series of instructions to fight back all the Zhou soldiers.
At the same time, five thousand elite troops stepped forward to guard the Zhou soldiers who had climbed up the rock again.
Zhou's first round of fierce attacks did not make any substantial progress, and did not even cause many casualties to the defenders of Weibei City.
Yu Xun's name is indeed well-deserved.
You Kan was fighting for the first time, so he naturally did not dare to underestimate anyone, let alone a famous general like Yu Xun.
He reorganized his army and launched a second round of attack. Relying on his numerical advantage, he continued the attack and finally made the Weibei City defenders feel the pressure.
The battle lasted for a day, and it was not until evening that You Kan called for gold and retreated his troops, pushing them to a place twenty miles outside Weibei City and setting up camp there.
The soldiers at the north gate of Weibei City also began to retreat and went to join You Kan.
The number of Zhou soldiers who attacked the North Gate was not large, and Yu Xun did not leave many men behind. The battle was not very fierce, but there was also a lot of blood on the city wall, which represented the brutality of the war.
Weibei City.
"General, what should we do? We have to ask the court for help quickly!"
"Yes, the Great Zhou Dynasty is coming fiercely, and it seems that it must capture Weibei City."
The generals and counselors under Yu Xun all suggested asking the Dachuan court for help as soon as possible to resist the attack from the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, a few people did not agree.
They could see clearly that the Dachuan court was currently too busy to take care of itself. It had deployed troops from many places to protect Nanchuan City, and it was impossible to send troops to support it in a short period of time.
Even if we can support them, we don't know how long it will take for reinforcements to arrive.
Yu Xun raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down.
Everyone respected Yu Xun and became quiet.
"Everyone, Zhou's army is almost threatening Nanchuan City. It seems impossible to ask for help at the moment."
"We can only rely on ourselves to defend Weibei City."
"However, in addition to Kou Wang, Dazhou also has Jing Ling and others who are in a stalemate with Dashun in Mingzhou. Coupled with the performance of Dazhou's army today, I estimate that there are only 50,000 or 60,000 of them at most."
The Weibei Valley is very important to the Dachuan Kingdom. It can not only block the exchanges between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the southeastern states, but can also use it as a springboard to advance towards the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
And since Yu Xun can guard this place, he will naturally not easily lose his position.
After hearing Yu Xun's words, everyone nodded, showing understanding.
If the Zhou Dynasty only sent 50,000 to 60,000 troops, then defending Weibei City would not be a big problem.
After that, they sent many scouts to investigate the situation of the Zhou army, and finally determined that the Zhou army was only about 60,000.
"Defend to Weibei City. No matter how many times Zhou attacks, we must hold on to Weibei City."
On the second day, Yu Xun issued such an order.
As expected, the Great Zhou Dynasty came to attack the city, and the attack was fierce, vowing to capture Weibei City.
At the same time, You Kan kept shouting outside the city, trying to undermine the morale of the Weibei City defenders and make the Weibei City troops lose their morale.
The more You Kan acted like this, the more Yu Xun was determined in his thoughts.
At this time, the Dachuan court had no reinforcements, and they were effectively alone in the city.
As expected, Da Zhou had no backup, only these 60,000 troops, so he wanted to focus on the heart and capture Weibei City.
Unfortunately, Yu Xun was secretly happy that Da Zhou underestimated him too much.
As long as they hold on to Weibei City for a few days, the Zhou army will definitely defeat them.
