Chapter 471 Battle of Dragon City
Liaoxi County, Dragon City
Before daybreak, Qin Heng went up to the city wall to patrol.
From the city wall, you can see the Xianbei army’s garrison from afar, and those with good eyesight can even see crowds of people.
Zhou Da followed behind, "I wonder if the Xianbei will attack the city today?"
Qin Heng didn't say anything, but both of them understood that it didn't matter whether the Xianbei came to attack the city today or not.
"The Xianbei's strong attack has damaged the city gates and walls." Zhou Da was very satisfied that the city they rebuilt could hold out for so long.
"Your Sixth Master is already on his way back, let's proceed as planned."
At the same time, in the city
Officials are mobilizing the people to evacuate Longcheng. "The gates of Longcheng may be broken. Let's retreat to Liucheng."
In order to allow them to evacuate as quickly as possible, the government promised to replenish their leftover food within two months.
When counting, five households jointly guarantee and supervise each other, and they report the amount of grain themselves.
The government will conduct random checks, and anyone found to have falsely reported the amount of grain will be held responsible for the consequences.
The common people were all very obedient. The massacre in Songzhou frightened them.
Liaoxi County and Youbeiping County are adjacent to each other. Songzhou, like their Longcheng, is an important border town, and the two counties are not far from each other.
They were the ones who could empathize most with the massacre in Songzhou.
"Let's go."
Everyone only took valuables and fine grains with them, and the remaining coarse grains were put into the cellar after being counted.
All the livestock they raised were killed and taken away. Those who raised more kept some for themselves, and the rest were donated to the army.
…
Qin Heng had just finished breakfast with the soldiers when he heard the Xianbei army beating drums at the city gate again.
Before attacking the city, the Xianbei army routinely challenged the enemy.
"Hey, you coward from Dalilong City, do you dare to come out and fight me?"
"You ballless bastards, you just hide in the city and don't dare to show your heads!"
"Hey, you've been hiding here for half a month. If you're so afraid of death, then open the city gates! Our Seventh Prince said that those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"If you don't surrender today, we will destroy your tortoise shell one day and slaughter you all!"
"Yes, slaughter them all, hahahaha."
The shouting and cursing of the Xianbei barbarians were really unpleasant to the ear.
At this time, a young warrior knelt on one knee and clasped his hands together, "Fei Yi requests to fight."
Fei Yi was the prefect of Liaoxi County.
But his request was suppressed by Qin Heng, "Don't pay attention to it."
Qin Heng remained very calm in the face of the Xianbei's challenge.
"Then Fei Yi requested a night attack."
The request was suppressed by Qin Heng again, "We will discuss this matter later."
Fei Yi could only leave helplessly and aggrievedly. When he reached the foot of the city wall, he punched the wooden pillar hard.
Fei Yi's attendants were puzzled, "Why doesn't Prince Qin agree to our night attack?" It is understandable that he disagrees with going out of the city to meet the enemy, but it is too puzzling that he disagrees with a night attack.
If they went out of the city and attacked at night, they would be able to kill the Xianbei by surprise.
"That's right. We have been hiding in our shells for so long, and the Xianbei barbarians have been scolding us like crazy."
Although they defended the city walls and the Xianbei could do nothing to them, they were still very angry about being scolded by the Xianbei barbarians every day.
Zhou Da watched Fei Yi leave with bated breath and shook his head in his heart. They didn't understand.
Outside the city
Looking at the still motionless Dragon City, Tuoba Lian curled his lips, "These bastards are really intolerant!"
Yuchi Rui came from the back to the front, "Seventh Prince, the Khan ordered the Second Prince to lead the army to assist us."
Hearing this, Tuoba Lian's face became gloomy. Even his second brother had taken Songzhou, but he still had no progress.
Yuchi Rui continued, "The Second Prince has divided his troops. Half, led by General Hexi, will head to Wencheng County. The other half, led by the Second Prince, will head to Longcheng."
As a result, Liaoxi County had to send troops to support Wencheng County. With this increase and decrease, their hope of breaking the city would be greater.
Dragon City
Qin Sheng brought his brave soldiers and generals and rushed all the way to Longcheng, "Brother, I'm here!"
The food they looted was temporarily stored in Weihuzhai.
Qin Heng patted his shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, big brother. Tuoba Jin has divided his troops. He personally led half of them towards Longcheng. They should arrive early tomorrow morning."
"Brother knows."
"We're going to take action tonight."
"good!"
While the two Qin brothers were talking, the Xianbei barbarians outside the city were still shouting and cursing.
Chen Jinlong noticed that they were clearly no match for the Xianbei's shouting and cursing, so they finally just acted like wooden stakes, not wasting their breath and turning a deaf ear to the shouting and cursing.
Chen Jinlong shook his head when he saw this. "You can't do this. If you tell anyone, it will bring shame to Lord Lu."
The Dragon City soldier held his breath, "Why don't you come?"
"I'll do it if I want to! You want to quarrel and challenge me, right?" Chen Jinlong rolled up his sleeves.
The Xianbei barbarians outside the city were still shouting and cursing.
"You bastards are all born of little women, that's why you are so timid."
"Come down, you great grandson of Dali, and challenge me to a duel. I respect you as a real man."
Chen Jinlong shouted at the Xianbei barbarians, "We can leave anytime. Come up if you dare!"
The Xianbei soldiers who were challenging the enemy choked. If they could go up, why would they still be challenging the enemy here?
"Come up, let's fight! Grandpa is waiting for you here. If you don't come, you are a dog or a bastard!"
"What? You can't come up? What the hell are you talking about if you can't come up?"
After Chen Jinlong's attack, the Xianbei side was temporarily silenced.
After so many days of challenging, this was the first time that the Xianbei suffered a defeat.
The soldiers of Longcheng were in a good mood at this moment. Damn, they had been fighting for so many days and had been bullied by the enemy for so many days. Now they could finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Besides talking nonsense, do you dare to come down and fight us with real weapons?"
"Stop calling yourselves Dali soldiers, just call yourselves Dali cowards!"
Chen Jinlong clasped his hands together and asked, "Who are you calling a coward?"
Xianbei: "I'm calling you a coward!"
The Dali people burst into laughter. "Hahaha, they also admit that they are the cowards."
On the Xianbei side, the faces of the people responsible for challenging the enemy turned pale and blue.
At this time, Tuoba Lian stepped forward and asked them to retreat.
He raised his sword and shouted, "Warriors, prepare to attack the city!"
"They won't be able to hold out for much longer! I promise you, after we capture Dragon City, I'll allow you to indulge in pleasure within the city for three days!"
To indulge them for three days means allowing them to burn, kill and loot for three days, which is no different from a city massacre.
The Xianbei soldiers cheered loudly, "Kill, kill, kill!"
Tuoba Lian shouted excitedly, "Everyone charge!"
Following his order, the attack horn sounded, "Woo woo woo—"
This broken city has held them back for long enough!
I believe it won't take them long to capture the city.
