LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 32
Chapter 32 The Qin army is immortal, long live the empire!
Yuyang County is seventy miles away.
Hundreds of thousands of troops are marching rapidly.
Looking around, there is a dark patch on the official road that stretches for thousands of miles.
A strong man, a high-headed horse.
These are all elite divisions of the empire.
It was the 200,000 troops commanded by General Meng Tian and the collapsed troops of the various counties gathered along the way.
At this moment, Meng Tian rode his horse forward, frowning slightly.
Since yesterday, he has encountered several waves of frontline collapses.
Among them are Liaodong County, Liaoxi County and Shangdang County.
These places are counties with more troops stationed on the border.
But even so, they were completely crushed by the sneak attack of the Hu people in the first battle.
But what surprised Meng Tian was that it was among the four counties on the western frontier.
Where is Yuyang County, where the defenders are the weakest?
Why is there no trace?
Is it already wiped out, or…
Thinking of this, Meng Tian was upset for a while.
“Tap Tap!”
At this time, a fast horse approached in front of the road.
Meng Tian looked up and saw that it was one of the Pegasus detectives sent out to inquire about Yuyang County.
“General, there is information from Yuyang County!”
Ok?
“Come on!” Meng Tian’s eyes lit up.
It seems that the situation in Yuyang County has been inquired clearly.
The detective dismounted, and Lang Sheng said the information he had found.
“Return to General!”
“According to the information we got.”
“The night the Hu people attacked the border, the guards in Yuyang County unexpectedly got news a little in advance.”
“That night, just before the Hu people arrived, they set up an ambush, caught the enemy by surprise, and fled after a great defeat!”
“The garrisoned troops in all parts of Yuyang County, together with the garrison of the county town, wiped out more than 10,000 enemy troops in total, and destroyed the deployment of the enemy troops.”
“Become the land of the eight counties in northern Xinjiang, the only county that has not fallen!”
Tanma didn’t lower his voice, these words were heard in the ears of the nearby generals.
All of them looked moved and surprised.
There was a heated discussion about Yuyang County.
“Hahaha!” Meng Tian slapped his thigh and laughed out loud.
The haze of many days dissipated at this moment.
Of the eight counties in northern Xinjiang, only Yuyang County has been preserved.
And annihilated more than 10,000 enemy troops in one battle!
For now, this news is undoubtedly the best news to boost the morale of the army!
This Yuyang County commander has meritorious deeds and should be rewarded!
Meng Tian thought about it in his heart, and he had already made plans.
After arriving in Yuyang County, be sure to reward the local garrison.
Let the other garrison garrison in the defeated county behind you see, this is what the garrison on the frontier of the empire should look like.
……
Meng Tian thought so.
But he didn’t notice that the Tanma on the side looked a little anxious.
“General, the villain has something to report.”
After thinking for a moment, Tanma gritted his teeth.
“Oh?” Meng Tian looked at him: “Speak!”
Tanma knelt down on one knee and said, “The villain received news before he came…”
“The Hu people from nearby counties have organized 30,000 horses and are heading to Yuyang County.”
“And Yuyang County has less than 7,000 defenders, and the commander also ordered the garrisoned troops in various places to hold their positions and not be rescued…”
Hearing this, Meng Tian couldn’t help but feel a little moved.
Muttered: “What a Yuyang County Commander!”
Then, with a straight face, he raised his voice: “The whole army listens to the order!”
“Full speed ahead, target, Yuyang County!”
“Yes!”
On the official road, the more than 200,000 elites of the empire speeded up again.
He drove at full speed in the direction of Yuyang County, and Meng Tian personally led his ace Golden Fire Cavalry, heading for Yuyang County!
……
Yuyang County City.
Tens of thousands of Hu cavalrymen rushed to the city wall one after another.
On the city wall, the defenders of the Qin army struggled to defend the opposing army below the city.
For a time, rolling stones, kerosene, and no money were thrown down the tower.
There was an overwhelming rain of arrows, condescending and shot from upstairs.
A large number of barbarian cavalry were killed under strict fire coverage.
……
hundreds of meters away.
Helian gritted his teeth fiercely watching this scene.
Trembling all over, helpless.
He knew that this time, he was in trouble.
He had already investigated, and the other defenders were all huddled in the garrison, and there were only 7,000 defenders in the city at the moment.
However, the 7,000-odd defenders had caused a lot of damage to his 30,000-strong army.
With these few waves of siege attacks, thousands of Hu people have been injured by the Qin army’s rolling stones, kerosene, and arrows.
……
suddenly.
Helian looked at the tower in the distance, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He clearly noticed that after these two waves of attacks, the rolling stones and arrows of the Qin army were no longer so dense.
“Haha, are you almost exhausted?”
“Humph! Laozi wants to see how long you can hold on!”
As he said that, Helian turned fierce and shouted loudly.
“The whole army obeys the order, speed up the attack, and don’t give the Qin army a breather!”
“The first person to climb the city wall today, I will remember his first merit, rewarding thousands of cattle and sheep, and ten women in Qin!”
As soon as these words came out, the morale of the barbarian army, which had been covered by all kinds of firepower, suddenly rose sharply.
One by one, shouting desperately, they rushed towards the tower and climbed up one by one.
For the sake of women, for the sake of cattle and sheep, they have already risked their lives!
……
on the tower.
Liu Heng slashed the hook rope thrown by the enemy with one sword.
Looking at the denser crowd below, my heart sank.
At this time, a soldier came running quickly.
“My lord, the rolling stones have been exhausted, and the kerosene and arrows have also been shot. We…”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the surrounding soldiers all turned gloomy.
They all know that without the suppression of firepower, the advantage of the enemy’s several times their own will soon be highlighted.
By then, without rolling stones, kerosene and arrows, countless Hu people will climb the towers…
Liu Heng’s heart sank to the bottom, and the worst happened.
The reserves were exhausted and morale was extremely low.
Could it be that my Yuyang County City really can’t stand it?
Thinking of this, Liu Heng shook his head fiercely.
“Clang!”
The Qin sword was unsheathed in his hand and pointed into the distance.
“Soldiers, the imperial army is on its way to help.”
“We only need to hold on for a while longer, and they will be able to arrive and drive these barbarians out of our homeland,”
“My sons, pull out your Qin swords, follow me to meet the enemy, the Qin army is immortal, the empire… long live!”
……
on the tower.
Thousands of defenders instantly burst into arrogance.
The imperial army is on its way to help, and it will be there soon.
They just need to hold on for a while longer, and they can wait until rescue…
By that time, their families will not be slaughtered, and their friends will not be tragically killed by the Hu people…
For a time, thousands of defenders on the gate tower drew out their Qin swords and shouted loudly:
“The Qin army is immortal, long live the empire!”
“The Qin army is immortal, long live the empire!”
“The Qin army is immortal, long live the empire!”
……
On the tower, the defenders lost their fire cover, and more and more enemy troops climbed up.
The soldiers waved their Qin swords and repelled wave after wave of attacks.
They all have a belief in their hearts, that is, they will hold out until reinforcements arrive.
But only Liu Heng knows that, in fact… there are no reinforcements at all…
