When Yi Yin saw that the enemy's siege troops were advancing, he quickly ordered his javelin soldiers to throw their spears forward.
Instantly, various sounds of pain and howls came from the enemy's front.
The battlefield at this moment was filled with howling sounds like ghosts from hell.
Although Zhao Kuangyin's men are short of food, there is absolutely no shortage of all kinds of ordnance and supplies in Pengcheng. After all, it is also Zhao Kuangyin's base camp, and it can be regarded as a city with the richest reserves of supplies in the Central Plains.
"General! Did you ask the brothers to retreat first? Let the people from Xuzhou go up first!" Cheng Jingjun said anxiously as he saw the casualties of the siege troops remaining high.
Cheng Jingjun is also a famous historical general, and he also has good policies in governing the local area. His commander and force values have reached over 90, and his political attribute value has also exceeded 80. Therefore, although he is one of Dou Jiande's early generals, he is still
He was reused by Di Qing and Su Qin.
Although there are many people in history who did not even resist and simply surrendered after the capital was besieged, there is no doubt that every one of them who can do such a thing is a strange thing, and every one of them has left a mark in history.
He gained a great reputation.
Although Yi Yin and others are also famous people in history, their names are obviously different, and he is not that weird type.
Obviously, they will not give up resistance just because they are surrounded, and the resistance is quite fierce.
The previous attack on Donghai and Langya also resulted in the surrender of a lot of troops, which totaled about five to six thousand people. Therefore, after seeing how strong Pengcheng's resistance was, Cheng Jingjun had already made concessions.
Those who surrendered their troops first wanted to use up Pengcheng's troops.
Speaking of attacking Donghai and Langya, these two places were not only empty of troops, but also not guarded by famous generals. After all, they were in the center of the rear area. Therefore, their tens of thousands of troops swept over and barely fought a few battles. It can be said that
Watching the wind and descending, most of them directly took over the city, and there were only a few places for them to attack.
Even if there is a county magistrate who wants to fight to the end in any county, there are basically only a few hundred and less than 1,000 troops. For Di Qing's army, it is just a charge.
Therefore, Di Qing, Xue Wanche and the others had such a smooth journey, and they had directly captured the chassis of two counties in more than ten days.
"There is no rush, let the enemy see our determination to break the city and deter them!" Di Qing shook his head and said.
The combat effectiveness that those surrendered troops can exert is limited. If they are sent out as soon as possible, they will definitely cause a large number of casualties. If they do not go well, they will boost the morale of the enemy.
By sending his own troops and horses, and even his elite troops and horses, to fight, Di Qing deliberately made this battle extremely cruel, causing the enemy's morale, which was already under heavy siege and uneasy, to further decline.
Therefore, even if he used his elite troops and horses in this cruel war of attrition, Di Qing still remained calm. What he was fighting for now was time, although he sent Xue Wanche to capture Xiaopei just in case.
, but he still had to race against time to take down Pengcheng in the shortest possible time.
Shan Xiongxin, who was commanding the siege, saw that his shield soldiers were being killed by javelins continuously, and a large number of unprotected siege soldiers had also suffered. This made Shan Xiong's confidence cut by a knife, and he shouted "kill" and held the weapon in his hand.
The golden nail Zaoyang Yang stepped on the BMW and began to take the lead in leading the army to attack in an all-out manner.
The enemy armies began to attack the city, and the Xuzhou generals quickly ordered the soldiers on the city wall to prepare for the battle to defend the city wall.
Although there are indeed only 10,000 defenders in Pengcheng, during this period of time, Yi Yin temporarily summoned 20,000 elite troops and equipped them with weapons and equipment to assist the original Xuzhou defenders in fighting.
Under Zhao Kuangyin's deliberate management, coupled with the influence of Huo Qubing's horse riding in the Central Plains, the Jin army today definitely has a bad reputation in the Central Plains. With Zhao Kuangyin's deliberate propaganda, in the hearts of many people, once the Jin army
When the army invades the Central Plains, there will definitely be another round of burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.
Therefore, let alone Yi Yin temporarily recruiting 20,000 elite soldiers, even if it is more, he still has this ability.
However, it was not that Yi Yin did not want to recruit more, but that he had to consider the impact of food and grass. There was a batch of military rations in Pengcheng that had been collected by Zhao Kuangyin with great difficulty, but before, Su Qin suddenly launched a surprise attack in Pengcheng, although it was not successful in the end.
The army generals joined forces to fight them out, but Su Qin saved a hand and secretly asked Floating Water Fang to take advantage of this chaotic opportunity to attack the granary.
Although not all of them were burned, half of them were burned. If soldiers and horses were recruited without restraint, it would definitely be a huge test for the consumption of food and grass.
Furthermore, the 20,000 soldiers and horses Yi Yin recruited were not like other princes who recruited soldiers and horses temporarily. The other princes simply captured strong men and did not even equip them with weapons and equipment. Maybe there were people who used farm tools or kitchen knives to guard them.
city, and Yi Yin Zheng Zhao's 20,000 soldiers and horses were equipped with weapons and equipment.
Although it is still incomparable to regular soldiers and horses, it is not as vulnerable as the strong men captured temporarily by the princes under normal circumstances.
Therefore, even if Yi Yin wanted to recruit more soldiers and horses, he could not afford to equip them with weapons and equipment.
After suffering constant casualties, Shan Xiongxin's siege troops finally reached the bottom of the city. Without Shan Xiongxin's orders, the siege ladders and long ladders were immediately put up on the city wall by the siege troops, and the army began to climb towards the city wall and rush to kill them.
At this time, the soldiers responsible for the defense in Pengcheng had already prepared boiling oil and logs and stones, and began to pour down on the enemy troops climbing the wall.
In an instant, the enemy troops climbing on the city wall made various howling sounds. Then they fell down from the ladder with a howl, and the infantry below immediately began to climb up and attack the city.
The city walls were like hell on earth, with infantry falling down constantly, and more infantry climbing up.
There were stumps and broken legs, blood like rain, and soldiers' lives were disappearing every inch of the city wall.
In troubled times, human lives are like grass and grass, and lives on the battlefield are like ants.
When the first soldier of Shan Xiongxin's army finally climbed up the city wall, a fierce contact battle on the city wall was about to break out.
Soldiers from both sides of the city wall began to fall down like raindrops fighting each other.
Huangfu Yu, whose face was covered with blood, wiped the rain of blood around his eyes with his hand. His face was full of black blood and looked like a ghost under the sunlight, and he shouted, "Kill".
He casually picked up a sword in his hand, still dripping with wet blood, and began to attack the enemy soldiers who climbed up the city wall.
