Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Li Mu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly bowed to salute: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhao Ling, the governor of Hetao County, still looked a little worried, and said, "Your Majesty, the war is in danger now. You might as well cross the Yellow River to the north first, so as to avoid the danger."

Zhao Dan waved his hand and interrupted Zhao Ling's words: "Now that the Yuezhi people are invading my territory, how can I be a deserter when the enemy comes! Immediately tell all the people in Hetao and Shuofang Counties that I will be here this time." In the northern city of this town, I will be with the people of the two counties! Only when the Yue Clan invaders are defeated will the widows return to Handan!"

After Zhao Dan's words, everyone present was also very encouraged, and said in unison: "Here!"

Zhao Dan thought for a while, then asked Zhao Ling: "Zhao Ling, I heard that there are many Hu soldiers in the army?"

Zhao Ling nodded and said: "Exactly, this is the old system of King Wuling, and I just follow it."

Zhao Dan said: "In that case, let's pass it on. As long as you can behead a Yuezhi member in this battle, you can get rid of Hu nationality and join Zhao. If the beheading is above the first level, you will be rewarded according to the Zhao people's meritorious service system!"

Several Huren generals and officers present were overjoyed when they heard the words, and saluted Zhao Dan together: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhao Dan handed half of the Tiger Talisman to Li Mu: "It's not too late, you hurry up and get ready, and lead the army to set off tomorrow!"

Li Mu took the tiger talisman respectfully, and made a promise to Zhao Dan in a loud voice: "Please don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely let the Yue clan come and go!"

Chapter 481 In the name of the king, break through this city of Zhao people! (third change)

Dingxi City.

This small town, which doesn't look too big like Zhenbei City, is the county seat that governs Shuofang County in the west of the Hetao area of ​​Zhao State.

At this moment, thousands of Zhao soldiers stood on the top of the west wall of Dingxi City. These Zhao soldiers held bows and arrows one by one, and watched the outside of the city very nervously.

Chen Teng, the governor of Shuofang County, is a 43-year-old middle-aged man who looks quite weak. He has a square face and small eyes. The beard under his jaw trembles slightly because of nervousness. Sheng asked: "Lieutenant Wu, the Yuezhi people are coming menacingly, this Dingxi City must be defended."

Wu Sheng is an officer of the Zhao State who is just over thirty years old. With his dark skin and tall figure, he looks like an iron tower standing there, giving people a very reassuring feeling.

"Don't worry, the county guard. These Yuezhi people are just cavalry and don't have any siege equipment. I think it won't be a problem for us to stick to it for ten or eight days." Wu Sheng comforted.

"really?"

"really!"

Having said that, when Chen Teng looked at the city wall made of rammed loess under him, he always felt a little uneasy.

And in the Yuezhi people's position outside the city, the general of the Yuezhi people, Ma Sagai, was watching Zhenbei City in front of him.

There are five major Xihous in Yuezhi Kingdom, namely Qilian Xihou, Yanzhi Xihou, Helan Xihou, Grassland Xihou and Western Regions Xihou.

Each Xihou is in charge of a specific area, in charge of the tribes and soldiers in this area, and has great power, similar to the Jiedushi in the Tang Dynasty.

Ma Sagai is Yanzhi Xihou among the five major Xihous, and he is also the number one general under the command of King Yueshi.

This time Massagai came with 5000 cavalry, including his own [-] cavalry, a total of [-] cavalry, and [-] cavalry from Qilian Xihou, which can be said to be full of momentum.

This is already the sixth day since crossing the Yellow River to the east. During these six days, Massagai was invincible all the way. He successively plundered more than a dozen villages in Zhao State within a radius of a hundred miles, and obtained thousands of captives and undead. Less food and grass.

These captives were brought under the city wall by Massage just now, hoping to force the defenders in Dingxi City to surrender, but they failed.

According to the information obtained from the captives, as long as the small Dingxi city in front of them is taken down, then half of the original territory of the Linhu people has been taken down by Massagai.

A small city with [-] defenders, the walls are neither high nor strong, and they are still rammed with earth. How difficult is it to fight this kind of city?

Massagai was full of confidence, and without any hesitation, he gave an order to the two ten thousand cavalry commanders beside him.

"One of you is in charge of the west and the other is in charge of the south. Take this city down for me! After the capture, this general allows you and your subordinates to take everything you see as your own, whether it is money, livestock, Still a woman and a slave! In the name of the great King Vishishka, break through this city of Zhao people!"

After Massagai's order was handed down, the Yuezhi cavalry immediately boosted their morale, greed and longing were shining in their eyes, and some even slapped their chests like orangutans and roared to the sky.

Amidst the whining horns, thousands of Yuezhi cavalry rode on their horses, rushing towards Dingxi City in front of them from different directions like a tidal wave.

When the horn of the enemy's charge sounded, everyone on the top of Dingxi City became nervous.

Although the county lieutenant Wu Sheng is young, he used to be the captain of Lian Po's personal army. He has been by Lian Po's side for more than ten years since he joined the army. Not messy.

"Second and third sons, don't panic, the enemy army under the city doesn't have iron armor, hold the crossbows in your hands, shoot their horses, and their chests! If you don't want to be taken into slavery by these Yuezhi people, fight to the death with me today!"

As soon as Wu Sheng said these words, although many Zhao soldiers on the top of the city were still a little nervous, they all clenched the crossbows in their hands and drew their longbows to the full.

The [-] scantily clad prisoners of Zhao State just now had shown enough misery, and no one in Dingxi City wanted to become one of these prisoners.

At this moment, no matter whether it is Hu soldiers or Zhao soldiers, no matter how much trouble they have had in the past, they all have a common idea now, that is to defend Dingxi City and beat back the Yuezhi people!

When the Yueshi cavalry began to enter the range of the crossbow, Wu Sheng waved his hand vigorously without hesitation.

"emission!"

Accompanied by Wu Sheng's roar, hundreds of crossbow arrows whizzed out and instantly sank into the Yueshi cavalry. Dozens of Yueshi cavalry in the front were hit by arrows one after another and fell off their horses amidst screams.

Since it takes time to rewind the crossbow, when the crossbowman raised the crossbow for the second time, the Yueshi cavalry had already rushed under the city wall, bending their bows and aiming at the top of the city with their arrows.

"emission!"

"emission!"

The two words with the same meaning were yelled out by the two commanders above and below the city in different languages. In the next moment, the sky between the two sides was covered by two waves of arrows with completely opposite castration.

There were countless screams from the top and bottom of the city at the same time.

The fierce battle to seize the city began.

Due to the lack of stone materials, the city head of Dingxi City was made of rammed earth, with a height of only a little more than one foot, which is about four or five meters in modern times.

Such a height is obviously not enough to stop the Yuezhi cavalry from climbing.

A large number of Yuezhi cavalry rode back and forth under the city, relying on the excellent cavalry and shooting trained as nomads to suppress the Zhao army on the city wall and cover the other Yuezhi cavalry's ascension to the city.

Yuezhi cavalrymen kept climbing up the city wall, and were soon cut into several sections by the soldiers of Zhao Jun who gathered.

The blood on the top of the city flowed more and more, gradually staining the city wall with a touch of bright blood.

Massagai was obviously determined to take down Dingxi City in one fell swoop, so the Yuezhi people's offensive was wave after wave, and there was almost no sign of stopping at all.

Although nearly [-] Zhao soldiers and civilians in the city worked together to defend the city, more and more Yuezhi people rushed to the top of the city, and it took more and more time to kill all the Yuezhi people who rushed to the top of the city. up.

A day passed without knowing it, the sun began to slant westward, a yellow light appeared in the western sky, and it was gradually preparing to turn red.

Massage watched the battle situation in front of him, his face was a little ugly.

To be honest, the casualties paid so far have far exceeded Massague's estimate.

But when he thought that the city in front of him was about to be breached, and the boundless looting and massacre that would follow, Massagai felt a little excitement in his heart, and he subconsciously rubbed his hand gently. Holding the hilt at his waist.

At this moment, a scout suddenly rushed over.
