The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 466 On the City Wall

"We have a city wall. The Xianbei people are all cavalry, and they are not good at attacking the city. As long as you work hard, you can stop them..."

Meng Jian started to mobilize before the war, and he had to stimulate the fighting spirit of these people, otherwise they would run away as soon as the war started, so how could they fight.

"General Zhao Yun's army has already rushed to Xinping, and it will arrive in half a day. We only need to block the Xianbei people for half a day, or even block an attack by the Xianbei people, and we will survive and save the lives of your family!"

"..."

Meng Jian's cheering effect was still very good, and his morale improved a lot. Many people made up their minds, even if they were desperate, they would block the Xianbei people, not for anything else, but for the whole family in Xinping City.

"Bring more stones up, and let the women who can work come to help carry stones and logs!"

Meng Jian mobilized all available forces to strengthen the defense of the city wall as much as possible. Xianbei had to be kept out of the city wall, and Xianbei people could not even be allowed to climb the city wall. One-sided massacre.

"My lord, do you want someone to set up a water tank behind the city wall to prevent Xianbei from digging a tunnel to come in?" An old head of the Xinping County Government, who is like a master, came to Meng Jian and asked.

"No need, hurry up and stabilize the women and children. Don't panic, and don't let the people run around." Meng Jian waved his hand and told the old boss to leave. If it weren't for the old boss who knew everything about Xinping very well and had a high prestige, it would be very important to appease the people. Very skillful, Meng Jian had already sent him home to recuperate.

What a bad idea, to deal with a small town like Xinping, the Xianbei people still need to dig tunnels?It was a miracle that the Xianbei people could stop the charge. Meng Jian had participated in the battle of defending the city. Although he was just a small official at that time, helping out in the back, he had a deep understanding of the cruelty of the battlefield.

More importantly, he knew the difference between a regular army and civilians. If it wasn't for the walls of Xinping City, and if there were not more than [-] people in Xinping City, Meng Jian would have taken people away from this place long ago, because staying here would mean death.

"A nerd who has studied to death." Meng Jian's evaluation of the old master was like this. When he was studying in Linzi Academy, he knew this truth.

"General Zhao, you must save the tens of thousands of people in Xinping City." What Meng Jian is most worried about now is that Zhao Yun will not come to rescue Xinping, or he will come too late, and the tens of thousands of people in Xinping will lose their lives.

If this is the case, his crime is serious. The people are scattered all over the place. Maybe some people can escape into the deep mountains and old forests and escape unharmed.But now he has moved all of them to Xinping. If Xianbei breaks through Xinping, these people will have nowhere to escape.

While Xinping City Tower was still busy, Meng Jian suddenly saw a commotion on the tower. Looking out of the city, dust was flying in the distance, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes was getting closer. Seeing this, Meng Jian's heart trembled, knowing that Xianbei people Finally came.

"Go back to your place!"

Meng Jian yelled loudly, commanding everyone on the tower to take their positions and prepare according to the drill.

"it is good!"

Seeing that the city tower slowly quieted down, the fierce general nodded in satisfaction. After a period of hard work, he finally paid off. At least now he looks like a city guard. The entire Xinping city tower is full of people, staring at Xianbei who is getting closer The rapid breathing of soldiers and horses was the only sound they heard.

"What, why is there a Han army here!"

Cheriji, the leader of Xianbei, is the leader of a small tribe in Xianbei. He was one of the first leaders to follow Qiu Liju. He gained Qiu Liju's trust and was Qiu Liju's most loyal subordinate. Because of this, he was given the position of forward. Because walking ahead means that more food can be plundered, more Han people can be plundered, and more benefits can be obtained.

Although most of them had to be handed over to Qiu Liju, there were quite a few left behind. I don't know how many people scrambled for this position, and only Qiu Liju's confidants could get it.

When Cherigi saw the Han people standing on the tower of Xinping City, and looked at the Han Chinese flags fluttering, he felt uneasy. If the Han army had reached Xinping City, it would be difficult for him to break through the city. not come down.

Along the way, Cherage didn't loot any good things, all the villages were empty, and those Han people were nowhere to be found, and finally rushed to the big city of Han people, but the city was guarded by a large army, so as a striker, he didn't get any good, completely Riggy was certainly not reconciled.

"Damn it, go and see how many people are defending the city." Of course, Cherage is not reconciled. If there are few people defending the city, he decides to try to attack. If he can break through the city, he will get great benefits. He must fight.

"Boss!" Soon, the person Cherrigi sent came back and excitedly said to Cherridge: "Boss, there are no Han troops on the tower, but ordinary Han people. Only a few Han people wear Han army uniforms." Clothes, their weapons have everything, bows and arrows are few..."

The Xianbei people who came back to report were speechless and confused, but Cherigi still understood. Simply put, those people on the Xinping City Tower are not the regular army of the Han people, but a group of civilians standing there with weapons.

"Warriors of Xianbei, have you seen the big city in front of you? There are Han people's food, Han people's gold and silver jewelry, Han people's women, and Han people's silk. Go in, just go in and kill the Han people on the tower. , the movement in the city is all yours, let you plunder and kill!!!"

After some encouragement, Cheriji commanded [-] Xianbei soldiers to rush to Xinping. Their siege weapons were nothing more than ladders, and there was no formation at all, and they rushed to Xinping in a swarm.

But this was enough, because seeing the Xianbei army rushing, the city tower was in chaos for an instant, leaving Meng Jian speechless, he could only do his best to appease everyone and prepare for a defensive battle.

"Archer, shoot! Shoot!"

Seeing the Xianbei people rushing into the range of the bow and arrow, Meng Jian immediately ordered to shoot the arrow.

More than 50 sparse feathered arrows flew towards the Xianbei people, without causing the slightest harm to the Xianbei people, but instead attracted the ridicule and excitement of the Xianbei people, because the Xianbei people knew what kind of enemies stood in front of them.

"Keep shooting! Get ready!"

"Good luck rolling up the log!"

The fierce general didn't blame anyone. They were not soldiers in the first place. Facing an imposing and powerful enemy, it was already very good to be able to shoot feather arrows.

"Squat down, bow your head, dodge bows and arrows!"

The Xianbei people began to shoot feather arrows towards the tower, Meng Jian hurriedly ordered to dodge, but unfortunately many people did not react, and screams came.

Chapter 467 The Arrival of Reinforcements

"Throw stones!"

"Throw it at the Xianbei people on the ladder!"

"Don't throw it around, throw it when you see it!"

While avoiding the flying feather arrows, Meng Jian directed the crowd to fight back. Unfortunately, how could farmers without professional training resist the ferocious Xianbei siege? Moreover, the Xianbei were very experienced in such siege warfare. The bows and arrows never stopped, a sharp arrow flew up the tower, and people kept getting shot and fell down.

There were screams on the tower, and many people lost the ability to resist in panic.

"Let the reserve team come up!"

Meng Jian had no choice but to use the reserve team to resist the second round of attack, but in the first round of attack, less than half of the people on the tower would be lost, and the resistance power would be greatly reduced. If there was no new force to join, the city would be broken in an instant.

If it weren't for their family members behind them, many people would have gritted their teeth and insisted. Otherwise, they might have collapsed now, with too many casualties. Farmers with no combat experience and no combat effectiveness, how could they be opponents of the Xianbei people.

"My lord, there are Xianbei people who have gone around to the north." A bad news came, and Meng Jian was shocked. Before that, the Xianbei people only attacked one side and couldn't attack for a long time, so the Xianbei people attacked separately.

"You draw 200 people on the tower, and then draw some from the back, and immediately go to block and take down the Xianbei people." There are not many Xianbei people on the detour to the north, and there are only more than 500 people. This is the direction of the main party, Meng Jian Not daring to leave, he could only entrust this task to a decent team leader.

200 people were drawn from the city tower, because these were able to continue fighting after the test of blood, with a little experience, and with those inexperienced reserve teams, they should be able to block the Xianbei's attack.

"Damn it, haven't you eaten? Are you still Xianbei warriors? Can't you win a group of peasants? Go ahead, don't back down, you are Xianbei warriors, wolves of the prairie!"

Shouting and cursing angrily, the big city that he thought would be easy to break into was firmly blocked. The five thousand Xianbei soldiers were killed and injured. These are all the young men of his tribe. If too many die, he will not have so many in the future. If they were soldiers, they would not be valued by Qiu Liju, and would even be wiped out by other tribes in the end.

"Shoot me, shoot those who show up!"

Cherage stared viciously at the Han people on the tower, and stones kept being thrown down, knocking down the Xianbei warriors on the ladder.

Another half an hour later, the little Xianbei leader who went to attack the north came back with wounds on his body. They failed to attack the North City, because there were as many defensive weapons on the walls of Xinping City, and the north was not attacked by the Xianbei army. Rocks and logs were thrown down like they didn't want money.

There were only [-] Xianbei people in the area, and there was no chance to climb the tower at all. The little leader of Xianbei was afraid that the loss would be too great, and he would be questioned after returning, so he had to give up attacking the north.

"You lead the team to climb the city yourself. If you can't climb the tower, I will kill your whole family!" Cherage was furious, and immediately asked the little boss who failed to come back to attack the city in person. He must break through Xinping City as soon as possible, so as to reduce losses.

Cheriji was angry, Xianbei stepped up the offensive, and the number of casualties of the defenders on the city tower increased. The Xianbei people climbed to the top of the wall many times, but fortunately they were knocked down the stairs by some smart men.

"Sir, we are short of staff."
