Chapter 560 Jurchen dismounts

The bodies were carried down from the top of the city, and all the wounded were retreated. The red blood could be seen everywhere on the city wall. Zhang Fang was unmoved by all this. Since the news of Sima Yong's defeat in Yecheng came from Yecheng, his subordinates naturally had a tendency to be unstable in the morale of the army. Zhang Fang's response was also very simple. The most effective way in this era is to kill and shock.

He mercilessly attacked his former colleagues, strengthening the morale of the Hejian Army. Zhang Fang used his cruel side to tell his colleagues that if he wanted to surrender, he would die. If there was not enough food, he would kill the horses to satisfy his hunger. If it was not enough, he could eat people.

"I will not surrender even if I die!" Zhang Fang looked at the retreating siege soldiers with a fierce look on his face. There was no emotion in his eyes. When this gaze fell on the soldiers on the city, almost no one dared to look at each other.

"A gentleman dies for his confidant. In life, he should understand what loyalty is. Although the King of Hejian dies, we still have to fight to the end." Zhang Fang showed his white teeth, as if he wanted to choose someone to eat. He is such a person, violent but loyal and righteous. As long as he can achieve the final victory, he is willing to do anything.

Even if the news of Sima Yong's death came, Zhang Fang did not change his original intention, remembering that he was promoted by the dead Hejian King to be today. In fact, this person should have followed Sima Ji, which is a pity.

Just as the defenders at Julu City breathed a sigh of relief, the sound of trumpets from afar changed everyone's faces. Then a large number of infantrymen appeared in sight. Just a brief look was several times more than the siege soldiers in the previous few days. Except for the first day when Zhang Fang's troops retreated to Julu City, the pursued Yan King's army had been besieged for a day, and such a large siege force had not appeared recently. You must know that Julu is just a county city with a small wall. Many people think that the enemy is aiming for siege, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Because Zhang Bin knew that Zhang Fang was hiding in Julu in Shi Chao's army, Zhang Bin secretly watched the scale of Julu, and expected that this city was not suitable for persistence, and there was no need to attack and bear unnecessary losses. This is actually true, but the external environment has changed, and it is not appropriate to surround and not fight. Zhang Fang is another person who obviously will not surrender. The King of Yan was anxious to urge him, so he took the step he had today.

The troops who were mainly attacking Julu were also replaced by a group of troops. Shi Chao's troops were replaced by Li Shan who came to Julu, and the siege troops were replaced by Jurchens who were dismounted in the siege. Li Shan drew his sword and pointed at Julu City in front of him, shouting in Jurchens, "This city wall is only two feet away, and there are many rewards to conquer this city. Whoever takes Zhang Fang's head will be directly promoted and the general of the army. Once the siege starts to advance but not retreat, the crossbow in the rear has been arranged, and the person who takes one step back will shoot and kill it directly."

"Cover!" The Jurchen infantry wearing two layers of armor only exposed their eyes responded loudly. The light flashed in his eyes made people dare not look at them. It seemed that Julu City was already their belongings.

"Can these Hu people do it? General Shi Chao, I heard that the Tuoba family's soldiers were humiliated by Liu Yuan for a long time when they attacked Shangdang. The Tuoba family still had tens of thousands of soldiers and General Li Shan's Jurchen cavalry only had 20,000. How could they be Zhang Fang's opponent when they dismounted and fought in the field?" Zhang Bin looked at Li Shan's location, wondering if the King of Yan deliberately wanted to consume the Jurchens' soldiers. At least from the process of the Shangdang battle, this is a very suspicious thing.

As a counselor, Zhang Bin, he was not as simple as a general like Shi Chao. Maybe the King of Yan would not admit it, but Zhang Bin looked at this scene and felt that this was the purpose.

"Sir, I actually don't know about this, but Zhang Da and Li Shan are both guards of the Yan Prince's Mansion. They have been following the Yan King since childhood and watched him grow up. With the Yan King's personality, they will not let them lead a military force that does not pay attention to." Shi Chao shook his head slightly, "What I heard about Yan King has high hopes for the Jurchen tribe's infantry ability. Letting the Jurchen ride a horse is just for them to hurry up. Sir, not all Hu people live in the grassland."

"Your Highness said that your correct usage is infantry warfare. Today, Japan will see if you can fight in the field." Li Shan actually had some doubts about Sima Ji's view, believing that the Jurchen's ability to fight in the field should not be overestimated, which is higher than the level of Tuoba's straight-chopping feet.

Pressing down his thoughts, Li Shan waved at the sword of Julu City, and the Jurchen infantry who had dismounted the horse stepped out in one step and killed Julu City with dust. There was no sound of shouting for killing. The Jurchen infantry wearing two layers of armor could not make any sound. They directly charged with the wind sweeping the remaining clouds and facing the rain of arrows all over the sky.

The earth seemed to be trembling in front of this charge. The Jurchen infantry who rushed to Julu City had extraordinary agility and stepped on it instantly on the ladder. The flowing clouds did not look like heavy armor at all. How could a group living in a vast forest not climb trees? They not only do, but also far exceed ordinary people, because tigers can climb trees. If you climb higher than tigers, you will die.

"I would rather die than surrender!" The soldiers who are still following Zhang Fang are afraid to say that they are not afraid of death, but they are all elite soldiers who survived several wars. Even if the enemy troops who came to attack this time look unusual, they are still talking with swords and guns.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city were also fighting bloody. They were all soldiers of Hejian Kingdom. Now that their hometown has fallen, and the lord has not surrendered yet, it has shown his attitude that he can surrender if he dies. The soldiers of the defenders all burst out with great courage. They would rather die in battle than take a step back, and use their flesh and blood to build a dam to block the tide-like attack of the Jurchen infantry!

"Drink..." The Jurchen infantry under the city wall put his hands on the bow and did not fire. Suddenly, he saw a defender showing his head. Heavy arrow shot out directly. A blood mist broke out on the back of the heavy arrow. The waiter fell heavily from the city wall, and the heavy arrow was nailed to the tower pillar behind him.

On one side, they were determined to win, and on the other hand, they were swearing to never retreat. The courage was half a dozen, while there was a gap in other aspects. The Jurchen infantry wore two layers of armor. Although they were not as good as the Jin Wei and the Longque Camp, they were far more protection than the soldiers of this era could have. However, they had been fighting on horseback, and no one had seen them as they were fighting on horseback. Today, someone finally saw it.

Ah... In front of the Jurchen infantry, he was like a bare-handed guard soldier, and directly hugged the Hu people who had just killed his robes and jumped down. With the first one, imitators continued to follow. Often, soldiers from both sides hugged each other and jumped off the city walls and died together. Only the Jurchen infantry was even killed, and the heavy armor had a counterproductive effect at this time. The guard soldiers were so confused that the Jurchen infantry wearing heavy armor would suffer even more damage.
