Ding Yuan's left foot was bloody, and a sergeant knelt beside him to treat the wound.
This is the end of the long street. In front, teams of Bei Liao sergeants are in formation.
There are also ambushes in the streets on both sides. Once the Northern Xinjiang Army attacks, they can attack from both sides.
"Front interception, flanking attack, let's see how long Yang Gou's men can resist!"
Ding Yuan took a breath of cold air, kicked down the sergeant who was treating his wounds, and cursed: "Get out!"
The sergeant rolled over and stood up.
Ding Yuan lowered his head and took a look. The wound on his calf was not serious, and it did not even affect his movement. It was just that he did not know where it was caused, and it was bleeding a lot.
"How are the people?"
Feng Shao looked a little embarrassed and disgraced at the moment... When he jumped off the city wall earlier, a stone happened to come. He quickly dodged and hit the city wall.
"The morale of the people is very high!"
Ding Yuan said very reservedly: "Yang Gou's reputation is too bad. Jingguan, erecting poles, and what he said before about massacre of the city. The people are afraid. Since they are all dead, at least give it a try."
"Yang Gou said to kill all the defenders!"
A weak voice came.
Um!
Ding Yuan sneered and pointed to a sergeant, "Go and inquire about the movements of the Northern Xinjiang Army."
The Northern Xinjiang Army has already taken control of the city, so why should they pry?
The sergeant went forward bravely.
Ding Yuan said: "Every time they take a step forward, they will pay a heavy price. They only need to hold on for two days, no! I think they can hold on for at least five days.
Reinforcements from Jianshui, Jinshan, and Neizhou will continue to flow.
If Yang Gou doesn't want to leave, then there's no need to leave.
Once such a deadlock is formed, Yang Gou will be in a dilemma.
If you don't do it well, you will fail miserably.
He is not popular in northern Xinjiang. Once defeated, those powerful people will rise up.
If we retreat, this battle will be futile, which will severely damage the morale of Northern Xinjiang..."
Feng Shao took a sip of water and handed the water bag to the people around him, "Some people complained to me, saying that since you have the intention to build a stone house, why don't you use stones to reinforce the city head.
Reinforcing the city with stones is certainly solid, but once it is breached, our army will have no way to retreat.
When we enter the city, Yang Gou can burn us to death with a single fire. But now..."
Feng Shao pointed to the stone houses and said with a smile: "When Yang Gou enters the city, he will find himself facing a huge trouble. Each stone house is a small solid city. Every attack will cost a huge price.
One city, countless cities, of course I have to choose countless cities."
Two sergeants came back carrying a dead sergeant.
"Put it aside."
This sergeant is Ding Yuan's follower.
"Please be careful, Tang Jun is coming!"
The sergeant also sent this not-so-good news.
Feng Shao took a deep breath and said, "I can't wait any longer!"
…
Yang Xuan was surrounded by people who climbed to the top of the city and had a panoramic view.
"Most of the city's houses are made of earth and stone. Arson is not allowed." Han Ji pointed to those houses. "If we attack them one by one, the losses will be considerable."
"The defender just wants our army to attack step by step. Each stone house is a city. It's interesting."
Yang Xuan was thinking.
Suo Yun came, "Deputy envoy, I am willing to lead the army to attack."
"you……"
Yang Xuan glanced at him and said, "Prisoners are worthless. If they die, they will die. Just catch them next time."
But too many captive casualties will also damage morale.
But you can't say that.
Yang Xuan said: "You can't risk people's lives in a desperate fight, just wait."
The deputy envoy is not willing to sacrifice our lives... Suo Yun said with tears, "Deputy envoy, we are willing to die."
Ning Yayun looked on with cold eyes and saw Yang Xuan smiling and patting Suo Yun on the shoulder, saying, "Keep yourself useful and enjoy wealth in the future."
If Suoyun's tears previously were 70% fake and 30% real, now they are almost all real, and even the mucus is coming out of his nose.
This kind of method to win people's hearts... Ning Yayun felt that Dao's heart almost moved. After thinking about it carefully, it turned out that she was hungry.
Wang Laoer was gnawing on dried meat and handed one to Tu Shang. Tu Shang took it, put his hands together, and the dried meat broke into pieces.
As a human being, you must know how to adapt.
Since the teeth are not good, just break them into pieces and eat them. In this way, you can enjoy the filial piety and enjoy the delicious food.
"Second child."
Yang Xuan was shouting over there, and Wang Laoer hurriedly stuffed the dried meat into Tu Shang's mouth, "Here we come."
"How filial!" The old thief looked at Tu Shang with envy.
"Yes!" Being stared at, Tu Shang could only smile and swallow the whole piece of dried meat.
"Well!"
He burped, and the old thief said with concern: "Is this... choking?"
"No, I'm just angry."
"What are you angry about?"
"The Qi defenders created a turtle formation."
The city is full of strongholds, making this battle difficult to fight.
Zhen Siwen said: "If this doesn't work, I'll use wood to break open the door, use an archer and a spear, and add a horizontal knife.
After breaking the door open, he first used arrows to kill the people visible to the naked eye, then went in with a spear and stabbed them to death... and finally, he used a combination of horizontal strokes and knives to strangle the remaining people."
He said calmly, but Yang Xuan was not calm.
Gentleness comes from experience.
He also has an additional general under his command.
Good thing.
The old thief said: "Although this is good, the casualties will not be small."
"A trapped beast still fights." Han Ji agreed with the old thief.
"In a fight, someone will always die!" someone muttered.
Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes, "Are the people of Bei Liao afraid of death? They must be afraid of death. They dare to fight in the streets, which is nothing more than the defenders announcing that I want to massacre the city. In this battle, don't fight head-on..."
Everyone slowly looked at him.
"The trebuchets are entering the city."
"yes."
"First capture some common people and ask them to spread the word. What I want to kill are the defenders. As for the common people, northern Xinjiang needs manpower to open up wasteland next year, and northern Xinjiang also needs manpower to build roads..."
Excellent labor!
Trebuchets enter the city.
"boom!"
A stone hit the roof, causing debris to fly.
The entire roof of the stone house collapsed.
Amidst the screams, the door opened, and several men and women, plus more than ten sergeants, rushed out.
"Stop!"
Zhao Yong stood in front with his men and shouted: "If the people kneel down, they will avoid death."
The two men ran back after the sergeants.
"Fire the arrow!"
Zhao Yong waved.
The rain of arrows covered them and they all fell down.
The remaining people were trembling.
"Take them and shout."
Several men and women choked while shouting: "I am Xiao Laoer, Yang Gou... Deputy Envoy Yang does not kill the people, only the defenders."
"I am Hu Erniang. Deputy Envoy Yang said that any family that takes in the defenders will be killed."
"Everyone come out!"
"boom!"
A stone house was destroyed.
At the end of the long street, Ding Yuan sneered, "Just grind like this. He will have to grind for ten days before he can wipe out the city."
On the 10th, reinforcements had already arrived.
When the time comes, we will cooperate with the garrison in the city to ensure that Yang Dog can be left behind.
Just thinking about this possibility made Ding Yuan breathe quickly.
"Yang Gou, what are you waiting for?" Feng Shao was a little confused.
There are also some expectations.
Outside the city, a group of tall soldiers were putting on their armor.
"The deputy envoy said that the whole body must be covered."
After putting on the armor, pull down the visor.
"Enter the city!"
These hundreds of soldiers walked into the city step by step with heavy steps.
On the other side, the miracle doctor Chenzhou... no, the miracle doctor Chen Huagu from Northern Xinjiang was making something with his disciples... half-dry grass was rolled into a ball, with some miscellaneous medicinal powder inside, and then wrapped in cloth.
"It's done."
Hundreds of sergeants were in place.
"What you fear in street fighting is sneak attacks!"
Yang Xuan watched a documentary. In street fighting, tanks are powerful weapons, but the risk of being destroyed is not small. Later, some countries came up with fire support armored vehicles.
The fire support vehicle is covered with weapons and can take down enemies appearing from all directions.
"Mo Dao's hand is in front, archers and crossbowmen are sandwiched in the middle. Spears and horizontal knives are arrayed on both sides. Attack!"
Because of the constraints of the street, the array is long and narrow.
After receiving the order, the Mo Daomen set off first.
The spearmen on both sides also wore heavy armor.
Only the archers and crossbowmen in the middle wore light armor.
Han Ji said: "Lang Jun seems to be prepared?"
Yang Xuan said: "Since we have decided to take the initiative to attack, street fighting is inevitable. I have been thinking about how to reduce the losses in street fighting for a long time. Today, I will try it."
He has watched street fighting documentaries for a long time. Although the era of hot weapons and the era of cold weapons are different, the ideas are the same.
The best way to deal with street fighting is intensive firepower.
Destroy upon discovery!
"Mo Dao's hand is in front, just like a tank... It's like an earth wall, indestructible. The archers and crossbowmen are in the middle, taking advantage of every opportunity. When they see enemies around who are preparing for a sneak attack, they shoot them. And the spearmen protect the two wings.
…”
Pei Jian said: "The enemy general must be expecting to intercept our army from the front. When they are entangled, the enemy troops in the stone houses on both sides will make a sneak attack..."
Boss Yang said calmly: "Before Mo Dao, what can he do to stop him? If we play street fighting, I can beat him to death!"
The swordsmen set off in formation.
The sun shines on the heavy armor, making it look like a demon god emerging from the ground.
Puff puff puff!
The sound of heavy footsteps made the enemy soldiers in the stone houses on both sides couldn't help but look out from the crack in the door.
"They're coming."
"Attack!"
Feng Shao pointed forward.
An old soldier looked miserable and said, "It's Yang Gou's swordsman."
"What is Mo Daoshou?" someone asked beside him.
"The murderous Mo Dao Shou!"
Feng Shao and Feng Shao had also heard about Mo Daoshou. In that battle, it was Mo Daoshou who blocked Lin Ya's Yunshan Cavalry and immediately launched a counterattack.
But, today is different!
The two sides are gradually getting closer.
Step by step, every step seems to be getting closer to hell.
At this time, the competition is about willpower. Whoever can't hold on will lose!
The sound of footsteps seems to be magical, and people's hearts can't help but beat to this rhythm.
Getting more and more nervous...
A song flew into the sky.
This is a signal.
The doors of the stone houses on both sides are wide open.
The next step is to attack.
But what they saw was the Northern Xinjiang Army shrouded in heavy armor.
The smelting furnace in Taiping County has been burning for many years. With the guidance of Boss Yang, the quality of the iron materials has become better and better.
A pair of heavy armors were built, and in addition to Mo Daoshou, Yang Xuan also equipped his elite with heavy armors.
The heavy armor made by skilled craftsmen looks quite exquisite, covering the body tightly.
Before the defenders in the stone houses on both sides could attack, someone shouted, "Fire arrows!"
The arrows were shot out densely, killing the excited enemy soldiers from the open door.
Raid!
How exciting!
Taking advantage of the Northern Xinjiang army's unpreparedness, kill and run away.
The enemy soldier who had just taken a step was covered by the arrow and fell down.
The enemy troops behind are still stunned, and the spearmen have arrived.
Zhao Yong shouted: "Kill!"
The dense spears stabbed all at once.
The remaining enemy troops were stabbed to death behind the door.
"retreat!"
Zhao Yong led his men back to the formation and continued to move forward.
Later, groups of sergeants appeared.
They lit the semi-dry grass wrapped in a cloth bag and threw it in.
The smoke is billowing!
A sergeant took a breath and said, "What is this...cough cough cough!"
He coughed like he had tuberculosis, and tears and runny nose came out within a few moments.
Several black figures rushed out from the smoke.
"The people need to live!" someone shouted.
The sergeants who rushed out were killed in the street, and the people were driven together.
"Shout!"
"I'm Zhao, Lao Chu, everyone in the neighborhood knows me... Deputy Commander Yang killed the defenders, not the common people.
Deputy Envoy Yang said that all those who harbor the defenders will be killed. If they come out and surrender, they will go to farm..."
"Young and old men, young ladies and daughters-in-law, the defenders must sacrifice their lives for the emperor, but what should we do?
Deputy Ambassador Yang...he is a good man! He swore that as long as the people surrendered, he would never kill anyone indiscriminately. If he breaks this oath..."
The old man turned around to ask for instructions, and Han Ji said: "If you violate this oath, God will not bless you."
"If you break this oath, God will not bless you."
The old thief whispered: "Is this oath too poisonous?"
Han Ji shook his head, "Oh my god, what is this?"
The old thief looked back at the city wall and remembered Lang Jun's words.
——God is a fart!
Yang Xuan stood on the top of the city and said: "On one side is death, on the other side is life, to die or to live. This is a question. Tell Han Ji, shout out, the defender is lying and wants the people to be buried with the defender."
He sneered, "I don't believe that the people of Bei Liao are willing to die with the defenders!"
Pei Jian asked: "What method is this?"
Yang Xuan touched his chin, "Psychological warfare!"
"Psychological warfare?"
Pei Jiu is a famous general. If the military skills he passed down are thrown out, the warriors in the world will break their heads and fight for them.
But Pei Jian had never heard of psychological warfare.
The Art of War is coming... The old thief hurriedly touched the booklet and charcoal. When he got it, he found that Jiang Heer had already started recording.
I'm slow!
"If we start a big fight as soon as we enter the city and launch an all-out attack, the people will be desperate.
When people are desperate, they often burst out with power that they cannot believe.
They will not be afraid of death, even if they have no weapons, they will grab with their hands and bite with their teeth...
They will go crazy. Crazy people are more to be feared than soldiers.
I ordered the trebuchet to enter the city. It seemed to be of little use, but in fact it was shocking.
Amidst the huge roar, the stone house collapsed. The people would be panicked and desperate.
But at this moment, the attack stopped, and the captured people began to shout, expressing their stance not to kill the people."
"People are afraid of death." Yang Xuan smiled, "Once despair is gone, it will be difficult to rise again. Then, our army continued to advance. At this time, the situation has been decided. What will happen to the people?"
He pointed forward, "They will open the door!"
Boom!
The door was opened, and just when the flanking sergeant was about to take action, he heard someone shouting, "I'm willing to surrender!"
"Come out with your hands in the air!"
Zhao Yong shouted.
At this time, the sound of fighting came from the stone house on the other side.
The door opened, and a woman covered in blood came out with her child in her arms, crying, "They are still in there."
Several sergeants rushed in and killed several enemy soldiers who were fighting with the people.
The people who came out began to shout.
"I am Aunt Sun, Deputy Ambassador Yang really won't kill us!"
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
The sound of fighting came from one stone house after another.
Door after door was opened.
The stone house that the defenders relied on as a fortress turned into their tomb!
Pei Jian looked back at Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan stood up, and Wu Da quickly collected the maza.
Yang Xuan walked to the front and said:
"Tell Zhen Siwen that I will see the guard in an hour!"
