The soldiers defending the city walls fell one after another, but the enemy troops climbing up the towers seemed to be endless, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers on the city wall, the Hu people were also speeding up their attack. As long as they captured the gate of Lulu County, the city would be flat and their cavalry would be able to enter the city as if no one was there. Then they would have all the luxury cars, fine wines, women and wealth.
Wang Yao divided the two thousand elite soldiers he had brought with him into three waves and said to the young general in charge, "We will charge forward in three directions. You two teams will lead the troops to attack from the left and right, and I will attack from the center. We are outnumbered, so we must not linger in the battle. After dispersing the invading enemy, we will all enter the city. Do you understand?"
The young general who led the team nodded repeatedly. At present, the enemy had tens of thousands of people, while their side had only two thousand people. It seemed unrealistic to want to destroy the enemy. The most important thing at the moment was to break through the enemy's siege, defend the city, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
Wang Yao looked at the soldiers ready to go and asked, "Are you all ready?"
All the soldiers responded in unison: "We are ready to attack at any time!"
Wang Yao nodded. "Very good. Your two teams will first enter the battlefield from the left and right sides and break the enemy's offensive momentum!"
The young general, having received the order, immediately rushed forward on horseback with his soldiers.
At this time, the situation on the battlefield had become increasingly tense. At the beginning, only one or two Hu people were able to climb up the city wall with ladders, and they were immediately killed by the soldiers defending the city. As the subsequent attacks of the Hu people became more and more fierce, the soldiers defending the city became more and more unable to cope.
County Magistrate Wu was hit on the back by a Hu man who suddenly climbed up. Fortunately, the squad leader standing next to him pulled him back. If he had been a step later, County Magistrate Wu would have been chopped through by the enemy.
The squad leader looked at the injured county magistrate and said anxiously, "Sir, you'd better get down quickly. This place is too dangerous!"
The servant standing by saw that his own county magistrate had been wounded by the sword. He ignored his fear and came forward to persuade him, crying: "Sir, sir, please come back with me. I beg you!"
Magistrate Wu was stabbed in the back and was in great pain. He also had to endure the wailing of his own servant. Magistrate Wu couldn't help but scold him, "Shut up!"
The frightened servant stopped wailing immediately.
Magistrate Wu propped himself up with his sword and said in a resounding voice, "If you want to enter the city, you must step over my dead body!"
The officers who were fighting against the enemy together with County Magistrate Wu, seeing their lord being so brave, boosted their morale and waved their long swords to stop the attack of the Hu people.
One wave of attacks paused, and another wave of attacks surged up. The soldiers defending the city were breached by the Hu people. Four or five burly Hu people, holding scimitars, slaughtered the soldiers on the city wall. The squad leader saw a round of scimitars appear behind Wu County Magistrate, and only had time to shout: "Sir, be careful!"
When County Magistrate Wu turned around, he saw the scimitar that was about to hit him fall to the ground, and a burly Hu man collapsed to the ground in front of him.
Below the city wall, one could see the iron cavalry on the left and right sides, like two sharp blades attacking the tens of thousands of Hu troops. They dispersed the Hu troops, and the originally neat troops were cut into pieces and soon fell apart.
Wang Yao led the remaining troops and came from the middle. At this time, Qin Yue followed behind him, holding a bow and arrow. He drew the bow and arrow with a very neat and decisive movement. The sharp blade in his hand shot directly at the Hu people who climbed up the city wall.
The squad leader stepped forward to support the staggering Magistrate Wu and shouted excitedly: "Reinforcements, reinforcements are coming!"
Wang Yao and his group rushed from the middle road and quickly rushed to the foot of the city. They cut off all the ladders on the city wall. In this way, the pressure on the soldiers on the city wall was suddenly relieved.
The young general guarding the city saw the situation below the wall and shouted to his men: "Quickly shoot arrows to cover the reinforcements entering the city!
He could see clearly from his high place that the number of reinforcements was obviously not large. It was just the momentum of several thousand cavalrymen that caused the enemy to be in great confusion and unable to react for a while.
The most urgent task is to send reinforcements into the city as soon as possible. In the face of absolute strength, all strategies will pale in comparison.
The young general jumped down from the city wall and ordered the soldiers guarding the city gate to open it. "Come here, guard the city gate. If the barbarians rush in during the chaos, they will never return!"
Although the soldiers guarding the gate were extremely tired, they did not dare to slack off. When the city gate slowly opened, everyone was ready for battle!
