Chapter 465: Another Attack on the Camp
Chapter 465: Another Attack on the Camp
The Xiongnu army launched a fierce attack on Shizhou City, and Wang Biqing and Ren Chaohui's teams outside the city received the news early on.
At the same time, the prisoner army led by Qin Yungu, who took over from Fang Zhixing, also knew about this fierce battle.
The siege officially began, and the defenders in Shizhou City were instantly caught in a tough battle.
At each city gate, the enemy's attack methods were completely different, which put tremendous pressure on the defenders.
The north gate was the direction of Gulizar's main attack, where the largest force was gathered.
Although Gaddafi's camp had been attacked before and suffered some losses, it was not seriously damaged.
Subsequently, Luo Haiqing's troops successfully joined forces with Gaddafi's army.
However, due to the attack on Gaddafi's camp, the ammunition reserves were almost exhausted. Fortunately, Gulzar allocated some ammunition from other places for support, but even so, the ammunition was quickly consumed during the siege.
In desperation, they could only resort to the traditional method of attacking the city - filling it with human lives.
Seeing the enemy troops coming like a tide, Zhu Zhanhui was extremely anxious. He turned to the deputy general beside him and shouted, "Quick, set up the Tiger Cannons at the gaps in the city wall and the entrances and exits of the city gates. We must annihilate these invading enemies here!"
After receiving the order, the deputy general quickly organized people to move the Tiger Barrel Cannon.
Gaddafi was determined to wash away the previous shame, and he drove his men in like crazy.
Once a gap was opened in the city wall, he would not hesitate to use the Tiger Barrel Cannon to bombard the defenders in the city.
"Hmph, let me show you how powerful I am! Bomb it hard!" Gaddafi stood in front of the formation, waving his arms and roaring at the gunners.
Zhu Zhanhui watched as the Tiger Barrel cannons were destroyed in the bombardment, his heart filled with worry.
The number of Tiger Barrel Cannons in Shizhou City is limited, and every time one is destroyed, there is one less.
Of the original ten Tiger Barrel cannons at the North Gate, eight have now been damaged.
"What should we do? We're running out of Tiger Barrel cannons, and the large-caliber artillery isn't working well..."
Zhu Zhanhui frowned and muttered to himself.
The soldiers beside him heard this and comforted him: "General, we can definitely hold on. We brothers are not afraid of death!"
Zhu Zhanhui looked at the soldier's determined eyes, and felt warm in his heart. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well done! The soldiers of Shizhou City are all great!"
Although there are large-caliber artillery pieces in the city, these large guns are difficult to move and even more difficult to aim.
Often, before we have time to aim at the enemy ahead, the opposite artillery shells are already whizzing towards us.
What's worse is that sometimes the enemy on the opposite side has already rushed to our front, but our large-caliber artillery is not ready to fire.
Finally, the north gate wall was lost again, and Gaddafi's men climbed up the wall like wolves.
The soldiers of both sides came into close combat and had to engage in brutal hand-to-hand combat.
Sun Yue was covered in blood, and he couldn't tell whether the blood was his own or the enemy's.
His eyes were red, like an angry lion. He waved his strong arms and led his men to hack and kill the enemy, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Kill, kill these bastards!"
The roar seemed to be able to break through the clouds, full of anger and determination.
"Fight them!"
"Avenge your dead brother!"
The surrounding soldiers responded one after another, and their morale was greatly boosted.
Wang Tieniu was exhausted at this time and almost didn't have the strength to pull the bow and arrow in his hand.
Taking advantage of a short break, he hurriedly sorted the arrows in the quiver and found that there were less than ten arrows left.
He knew that after his arrows ran out, he would have no choice but to pick up his knife and join the fierce close combat.
"Alas, I'm running out of arrows. I can only fight..."
Wang Tieniu sighed softly.
The comrades nearby heard this and said, "Tie Niu, don't be afraid, let's go together. Even if we die, we will take a few people with us!"
Wang Tieniu nodded, his eyes becoming firm again.
Zhu Zhanhui saw that all the useful people around him had rushed forward. Knowing that the situation was critical, he held the weapon tightly in his hand, his eyes determined, and prepared to fight a desperate battle with the enemy with the few dozen people left around him.
He felt mixed emotions, worried about the safety of Shizhou City, but also moved by the bravery and fearlessness of his soldiers.
He secretly vowed that he would never give up even if he had to fight to the last moment.
……
In the past few days, Qin Yungu has been secretly gathering intelligence on the enemy and finally found out the location of the enemy's command center - the Gulizar Camp.
Today, the Hun army is attacking the city with all its might, and everyone's attention is focused on the battle ahead.
Although there was defense at the rear of the camp, it was only defended by small teams of a hundred people stationed in different places.
"This is the plan. One hundred and fifty of you will dress in Hun clothing and march over with open arms. Once you get close, quickly eliminate them."
Qin Yungu said to Wang Sili, Gu Yunyang and other generals with a serious face.
Wang Sili's eyes widened as he stared at Qin Yungu: "Boss, is this even possible? Just walking over there in broad daylight?"
Gu Yunyang also echoed: "Yes, although the risk is great, we can only give it a try. I'll listen to you!"
Qin Yungu's eyes were firm. "It must work! The enemy is now attacking the city, and the defense in the rear is relatively weak. This is our chance. As long as we succeed, we can relieve the pressure on Shizhou City."
Wang Sili gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's do it! Brothers are not afraid of death!"
So, the three of them each selected 2,000 people, and from them selected more than 100 capable and good fighters, and personally led them to attack the enemy's rear defense.
After splitting up to act, the first one to encounter the Huns' defense was Gu Yunyang.
He had a cloth band wrapped around his head, a piece of wolf skin draped diagonally, a rope tied around his waist, and a scimitar in his hand. From a distance, he looked like a gangster on the grassland.
This was a guard post of a hundred men. When they first saw Gu Yunyang and his group, the sentries were a little nervous.
But seeing their strange attire, they mistakenly thought they were a patrol team sent by the king.
When Gu Yunyang saw them, he said nothing, deliberately slowed down his pace, and walked straight over to them unsteadily.
The guard looked at Gu Yunyang baring his teeth and felt that something was wrong.
Suddenly, a sentry asked in confusion: "Why are your teeth so white?"
Gu Yunyang was shocked and thought to himself: Oh no, my teeth have exposed my identity!
But he quickly calmed down, forced a smile on his face, and stretched out his hands to make a hugging gesture, which instantly dispelled the enemy's vigilance.
At the moment when the enemy relaxed his vigilance, Gu Yunyang's eyes flashed, and he swung his knife and directly cut one person's neck.
Seeing this, the other sentry next to him suddenly became nervous. Just as he was about to open his mouth to shout, he felt a chill on his neck and blood gushed out.
"Brothers, go!" Gu Yunyang shouted, and the brothers behind him rushed towards the temporary tent as quickly as a tiger descending from the mountain, and started a desperate fight with the enemy.
"Kill!"
"Don't let them get away!"
Shouts and screams were intertwined.
"Damn it, fight them!"
"Avenge your dead brother!"
The soldiers on both sides were furious and fought desperately.
This small battle was extremely fierce. Although the people brought by Gu Yunyang were brave, the enemy also fought desperately. In the end, they still paid the price of more than 30 casualties.
Similarly, similar battles took place in several other places.
