The Mongol army besieged the northern border

Chapter 82: The Mongol Army Besieges the Northern Border

"Swoosh—Snap—"

The explosion of the flare and the bright yellow sparks lit up the dark night sky!

"Enemy attack!"

The guard who was shot through the heart by an arrow took out the lighter from his chest with his bloody hands, collapsed to the ground, used all his strength to light the flare, and shouted the last two words of his life amid the explosion.

The beacon tower at the border of Dizhou and Youzhou was the first to send out the signal.

Immediately afterwards, explosions rang out one after another from the beacon towers throughout the northern border, lighting up the night sky!

“Damn it!”

The visitor cursed secretly in Mongolian.

"Follow me to charge into Youzhou!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The horses' hooves wrapped in sackcloth allowed the group to move quickly and silently in the dark night.

The moment the signal flares rang through the night sky, all the garrisons in the six states quickly dressed and, led by their respective generals, climbed onto the city walls.

Chu Huaibei stood on the Youzhou city wall, looking north towards the grassland, calculating the time it would take for the enemy to arrive at the city.

"Hide quickly!"

When Chu Huaibei heard the unusual sound of horses' hooves, he shouted an order.

As soon as he finished speaking, in just two breaths, thousands of arrows fell on the city wall.

If you react a little slower, you will be shot into a hedgehog.

After three waves of arrow rain, ladders and siege vehicles appeared immediately afterwards.

"Heavy crossbow ready!"

"shoot!"

Following Chu Huaibei's order, crossbow arrows shot out from the city wall and headed straight for the guards of the siege vehicle.

"Activate the shield!"

The sea raised its lips and deployed its newly prepared iron shield. The shield was three fingers thick, twelve feet long, and ten feet wide, requiring two people to lift it simultaneously.

It was built to counter Daxia's heavy crossbow.

The crossbow arrows grazed the iron shield, and the huge impact force caused bright sparks to fly between the arrows and the shield. The siege vehicle was protected by the giant shields, and the crossbow arrows only slightly deflected the giant shield formation.

It was impossible to break into the interior for a while.

Upon seeing this, Chu Huaibei gave a thumbs up sign in the direction where the sound had just come from.

She knew that Na Hai had excellent eyesight at night and thought he should be able to see it.

"Keep the kerosene soldiers ready, thunder bomb in the left basket."

"Aim at the siege vehicle and fire!"

The kerosene soldiers had only seen the thunder bomb once, but they had already memorized the operating instructions when the prince trained them.

He quickly straightened the thunder bomb, took out the special fire starter from his arms, lit the fuse, pressed the trigger, and the thunder bomb fell in an arc towards the siege vehicle.

"Bang——"

Explosions echoed from the siege vehicle's position, the blasts sending blasts of wind tearing the massive shield off. For a moment, the flames mingled with wailing, and the siege vehicle could no longer move forward.

Na Hai stared fiercely at Chu Huaibei on the city wall, with the corners of his mouth pursed into a straight line.

In order to prevent the siege vehicle from being burned and unusable after being splashed with kerosene, the craftsmen covered the entire vehicle with thin iron sheets.

Now that he was blown into three pieces by this thing that suddenly appeared, Na Hai did not feel any fear of new things in his heart, but only felt that his anger had burned through his head.

"Get on the ladder!"

He didn't believe that an army of 100,000 couldn't capture Youzhou!

Youzhou originally had a total of 50,000 soldiers. Chu Huaibei had already sent a message to mobilize 10,000 soldiers from each of the other five states to support Youzhou.

As long as we hold on tonight, another 50,000 soldiers will arrive tomorrow.

At the same time, an urgent report was sent, asking the court to send reinforcements.

Facing the surging enemy troops, Chu Huaibei showed no fear.

"Pyrotechnics, heavy crossbows, and divine crossbowmen, take your positions."

"put!"

In an instant, thousands of arrows mixed with thunder bombs were like whales entering the sea, causing huge waves and causing a large number of casualties under the city.

The lethality of the thunder bomb made the enemy panic for a while, and their courageous momentum was interrupted, and the speed of attack was obviously slowed down.

Na Hai was also shocked by the scene of flying limbs before him.

This thing that makes a loud noise and produces sparks can actually blow a person into pieces out of thin air!

Previously, because of the huge shield blocking it, it had not yet revealed such a cruel side.

King Zhenbei! Chu Huaibei!

Na Hai's back teeth were about to be broken, but the Third Prince was right behind him, so retreat was impossible. He had to continue commanding his men to carry the ladders and charge forward.

Half an hour later.

"Your Majesty! There are no more thunder bombs!"

"Your Majesty, we've run out of this here too!"

Several kerosene soldiers reported loudly one after another.

"Fire oil tank."

As the first kerosene tank landed, a ferocious smile appeared on Hai's face.

"Charge! Daxia has no new weapons!"

Some Mongolian soldiers rushed to the vicinity of the siege vehicle, raised their huge shields to block the arrows and kerosene cans from above, and protected the ladders as they walked towards the city wall.

Then more people began to follow suit, and the speed of the ladder began to increase.

At dawn, the sound of horse hooves was heard from behind. Ten thousand soldiers from Dizhou and Lizhou, which were closest to Youzhou, arrived first.

At this time, the enemy had successfully set up six ladders, and from time to time, enemy soldiers climbed up the city wall using the ladders, trying to kill the archers who kept shooting arrows.

Jin Hongye was originally assigned to guard Dizhou. After receiving the prince's order to mobilize troops, he handed over the task of defending the city to his deputy and personally led 10,000 soldiers to provide support.

The general leading the troops in Lizhou was General Song's most capable deputy general. The two met in the rear of Youzhou and then went up the city wall together.

"Your Majesty, ten thousand soldiers from Lizhou are already waiting at the foot of the city."

"Your Majesty! I will bring 10,000 soldiers from Dizhou to support you!"

"Well, quickly get on the wall and replace the injured soldiers first."

Chu Huaibei gave orders while paying attention to Na Hai's actions.

"I obey your orders!"

"I obey your orders!"

The two men quickly arranged for replacements for the wounded and took over the task of defending the city.

"General Yang, you've been shot in the arm. Go get it bandaged first. We have enough manpower for now."

Chu Huaibei glanced at Yang Sui, who was not far away from her, working with the soldiers to deal with the enemy troops on the city wall, and told him to rest. This man had been guarding the city wall with her all night.

After successfully besieging and killing the enemy, Yang Sui came over to reply.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I will go and apply the medicine first."

"Go ahead."

By the time the sun was at its zenith, the soldiers from the remaining three states had all arrived in Youzhou.

At this time, corpses had piled up like a mountain under the city wall, especially under the ladders, which had piled up to half the height of the city wall. The enemy army could climb up the city wall by climbing the mountain of corpses and then using two ladders.

This put a huge amount of pressure on the soldiers on the city wall.

After all the arrows were used up, there were already nineteen ladders leaning against the city wall. More and more enemy troops climbed up the city wall, trying to break it from the inside.

Chu Huaibei randomly knocked the enemy soldiers near her off the city wall with his gun.

The siege lasted until night fell again, and Na Hai finally called off the troops.

Na Hai ordered the army to set up camp five miles away from the city wall and make a fire to cook.

This behavior made Chu Huaibei feel uneasy.

The third prince would continue to attack Youzhou, or take the opportunity to start from other states, and then surround Youzhou after conquering them.

Only Youzhou can directly reach the heart of the Central Plains. Other states still have to pass through Youzhou if they want to go to the Central Plains.

Na Hai led at least one hundred thousand troops this time, and the third prince also had at least one hundred thousand.

After standing on the city wall and thinking seriously.

Chu Huaibei sent a letter to Qin Feng in Yingzhou and Xue Zhan stationed in Qizhou, asking them to take the remaining 20,000 soldiers and rush to Dizhou and Lizhou respectively overnight.

Only the guards at the beacon tower and the soldiers operating the defensive weapons on the city walls were left.

Midnight

Yellow sparks exploded above the Lizhou beacon tower!

The third prince personally led his troops to raid Lizhou!

At the same time, Na Hai launched another siege!

Chu Huaibei stood in the pitch-black night, and admired in his heart that the Mongolian priests were really accurate in predicting the weather.

Xue Zhan was in Lizhou. Qin Feng probably understood what she meant when he saw the signal flare, so he led his troops to Lizhou for reinforcement overnight.

Now, she is guarding the city gate without ammunition or arrows, so there is hope for the battle.

She ordered the soldiers to scoop out all the gold juice from the dry toilets in the military camp, put it in wooden barrels, carry it to the city wall, and pour it along the wall.

Although it has a bad smell, it is very effective. As long as the enemy has wounds on their bodies, it will naturally cause inflammation when it comes into contact with them, and their strength will naturally be weakened.

Originally, she didn't want to use this method, which was completely untreatable in ancient times, to defend the city, but in this situation where it was either you or me, she couldn't care less.

The speed of Na Hai's siege tonight was obviously much slower than yesterday, and this guy even took the time to challenge for a duel under the city.

Just a ghost.

It seems that he has great confidence in the third prince, believing that he will be able to capture Lizhou and then attack Youzhou from both sides.

Humph, dream on!

She had just sent a letter to Gong Que, who was stationed in Chuzhou, asking him to send all the remaining personnel, except for those who stayed behind, to Lizhou for support.

The casualties of those defending the city are smaller than those attacking it.

Chu Huaibei ignored Na Hai's provocation and just stood guard on the city wall, occasionally shooting and killing the enemy soldiers who climbed up the wall.

Sudden!

“Swoosh—swoosh—swoosh—”

Jin Jiu reacted the fastest and stepped forward to push Chu Huaibei away!

"Eleven, go chase them!"

The three arrows aimed directly at Chu Huaibei's vital points were avoided in advance by Jin Jiu's extraordinary hearing.

Someone actually fired three arrows in a row in the city, trying to kill the King of Zhenbei!

Eleven jumped down in the direction where the arrow came from with a tip of his toes. His lightness skill was one of the best among the guards.

"Thank you Jin Jiu for your help, otherwise I would have been injured tonight."

Chu Huaibei's hearing was not as good as Jin Jiu's, but he also noticed the abnormality. He was able to avoid the vital points, but he couldn't guarantee the rest.

"Your Highness is very polite. This is what I should do."

Chu Huaibei turned around and raised his middle finger towards Na Hai at the foot of the city, despicable villain!

Light slowly appeared on the eastern horizon, and the night was about to end.

Na Hai looked towards the east frequently, but the person he was expecting never showed up.

Eleven stood in the inner city, holding a man who was tied up.

The soldiers coming and going on the city wall already knew that the prince was ambushed last night. Now the guards who had been following the prince had General Yang in their hands, so the matter was self-evident.

Chu Huaibei personally carried Yang Sui to the top of the city wall, facing the sea.

Na Hai narrowed his eyes and the meteor hammer in his hand paused for a moment.

Then he grinned at Chu Huaibei nonchalantly.

What's not to understand?

Chu Huaibei turned around and threw Yang Sui, whose jaw had been removed, to Jin Jiu.

"Jin Jiu, you guys will interrogate him and find out who is behind him."

"Your Highness, we all know how to conduct the trial here on the city wall?"

Chu Huaibei looked around and saw many people looking around, so he curled the corners of his mouth.

"Just try him here. Just don't kill him."

"Okay, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Jin Jiu's answer was filled with excitement.

Soon, a blood-curdling scream was heard from the city wall, so loud that everyone within a radius of 500 meters could hear it.

Even the enemy troops who were attacking the city were a little slow in climbing the ladders.

What did the Daxia people do to the spy to make a person make such a terrifying sound!

The pale sun was high in the sky. Na Hai failed to wait for the Third Prince's men to arrive at the agreed time, so he called back his troops and retreated to yesterday's camp.
