With a roar, countless bricks and stones hit the striped mountain peak like raindrops!
The civilians and soldiers who had just climbed over the mountain were smashed to death by bricks and stones, and clouds of blood mist erupted from the mountain.
But there are too many enemies, and there are always gaps in catapult attacks.
As the female soldiers wound up the catapults and filled the gaps between the hurled objects, countless enemies crossed the mountain of corpses and continued to rush towards the city wall.
The stones thrown by the trebuchet are in a parabolic shape, and the falling point is fixed. It is troublesome to adjust the throwing angle.
Once the enemy rushes through the mountain of corpses, it is equivalent to escaping from the attack range of the catapult.
The next key location is the city wall.
Although the Jin-Barbarian coalition did not bring as many civilians as the Eastern Barbarians, the southern city wall was too short, and the mountains of corpses were piled almost as high as the city wall.
The civilians, eyes red with hunger, climbed up the mountain of corpses, like evil ghosts in hell.
The female soldiers lay down on the arrow holes and fired.
The battle lasted from noon to evening. The soldiers mixed with the civilians found that they could not conquer the city wall and began to retreat.
They still had some food rations, so they couldn't afford to work as hard as the civilians who were destined to die.
Feng Shicai, who was supervising the battle from behind, noticed that the attack was slowing down and was afraid of a huge rout, so he quickly ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.
After withdrawing his troops, Feng Shicai decided to give the soldiers a little hardship, so he ordered each civilian to be given a rough grain ration and cut off the rations of the soldiers attacking the city as a punishment.
The attack was not continued that night.
After the civilians who were about to starve to death received the Wowotou, they were all very happy. When they learned that there was no need to attack the city at night, they were even more grateful to Feng Shicai.
Although the soldiers had rations before, the rations only ensured that they would not die of hunger. After a day of fighting today, many of them were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs. They thought they would have a good meal when they came back, but in the end, even dinner was gone.
No.
The soldiers of the government are not civilians, so they can only endure when they are hungry.
Many of the punished soldiers started shouting and protesting when they learned that they had no food.
Feng Shicai was also a veteran who had been with the King of Jin for many years. When he decided to cut off the rations for the siege troops, he had guessed what would happen to them next and had already made preparations.
The few leaders of the government soldiers who took the lead in the clamor were pulled out and beheaded before they had time to organize enough manpower.
Now all the remaining soldiers were honest.
Just be hungry all night. When we charge tomorrow, let the civilians lead the charge...
Where there is oppression, there is resistance.
After fighting for so many days, various tribes of the Eastern Barbarians suffered numerous casualties, but they never captured Yuguan City. Many tribes were also very dissatisfied with Shan Yu, and some even began to secretly plan to escape.
The Chanyu of the Eastern Barbarians was also worried that if he continued to force the tribes like this, someone would really escape or rebel. In the past two days, he was considering whether to delay the attack to let the tribes take a breather.
But Shanyu was afraid that once he loosened his breath, he would never be able to catch it again.
So I have been hesitating about which choice to make in the past few days.
The suspension of the attack by the Jin-Barbarian coalition forces helped Shanyu make a choice.
Attacking the city is already difficult. The Jin-Barbarian coalition forces in the south have stopped. If they don't stop, won't all the bodyguards and female soldiers gather on the north wall to deal with them?
So Chanyu learned that the Jin-Barbarian coalition would not attack tonight, so he decided to have a truce for one night.
During the last night truce, the bodyguard and the female soldiers slipped down the city wall and stole the bodies below.
The Eastern Barbarians finally leveled the city wall with corpses, but the corpses were stolen. Not only did they have to pile up the corpse mountain again, the corpses were also thrown back by the bodyguards using catapults, causing huge damage to the Eastern Barbarians.
loss.
In order to avoid such a situation from happening again, the Eastern Barbarian Chanyu did not have a complete truce. Instead, he gathered the leaders of each tribe and asked them to draw lots and select a tribe to continue fighting.
The tribes that were not selected were delighted, while the tribal leaders who were selected were as pale as earth.
He knew that his tribe was doomed.
But he did not dare to disobey, because if he did not disobey, the children in the tribe under the age of twelve would still survive. Once he disobeyed, the entire tribe would be killed by the Shanyu!
Other tribal leaders will never help him.
Fortunately, the Chanyu did not ask them to attack the city, but asked them to harass it, as long as the bodyguards and female soldiers were not allowed to come down and steal the corpses.
Moreover, the Shanyu of the Eastern Barbarians also promised that as long as they did this, their tribe would be able to rank behind other tribes when they attacked the city.
The tribal leader, who was originally extremely depressed, immediately became elated when he heard Shan Yu say this.
Raising is much easier and safer than attacking a city!
So the leader happily took his tribe to the front line.
The Shanyu of the Eastern Barbarians was afraid that the Jin-Barbarian coalition would not know about this situation, so he sent a letter to Feng Shicai by waterway, asking them to send people to harass him as well.
Although Feng Shicai was very unhappy with the Eastern Barbarian Shanyu ordering him to do things, he still accepted the suggestion and sent a team of government soldiers to harass him.
In fact, when Liu Tie noticed that the enemy had stopped attacking, he really planned to send people to steal the corpse again at night.
In order to prevent being ambushed by the enemy when stealing the body, Liu Tie first sent a team of scouts to sneak down and guard him like last time.
As a result, as soon as the scout reached behind the mountain of corpses, he collided with the Eastern Barbarian scout.
The enemy was so outnumbered that the scouts sent by Liu Tie were unable to escape. They only had time to fire a resounding arrow before they were surrounded by the enemy and died.
This sounding arrow let Liu Tie know that the enemy was ambushing him, and he did not dare to send anyone down to steal the body.
Liu Tie ordered the day shift guards to go down and rest, and divided the night shift guards into two teams. One team was on normal alert, while the other team continued to demolish the urn tower and the arrow stack on the other side of the city wall to prepare for tomorrow's battle.
In the middle of the night, Liu Tie called up the day shift escort again and replaced the night shift escort to rest.
The bodyguard stopped stealing the body, and the Eastern Barbarian tribe was at ease. Both parties actually stopped in a tacit agreement.
The bodyguard and the female soldier, who had been fighting for many days, finally had a good sleep.
Early the next morning, the Jin-Barbarian coalition forces on the southern city wall took the lead in launching an attack.
Yuguan City, which had been silent for the whole night, once again heard loud shouts of killing!
On this day, the enemy's attack was even more rapid than yesterday.
Soon, a place on the south city wall was finally leveled by the corpses of the enemy.
The hungry civilians and soldiers rushed to the city wall.
However, instead of stopping the Northern Expeditionary Army, they retreated to a dozen meters away and blocked the way with shields, allowing more Jin-Barbarian coalition forces to surge forward.
After the incoming enemies filled the city wall more than ten meters long, five or six female soldiers threw flash bombs in their hands at the same time.
Several dazzling lights flashed away, and almost all the Jin-Barbarian coalition forces crowded within a dozen meters were blinded.
At this time, the bodyguard and the female soldier left, removed their shields, rushed in, and started to kill!
In less than two minutes, more than a hundred Jin-Barbarian coalition troops were all killed!
