Chapter 200: My name is Zhiyao, not mentally retarded
Net., the fastest update to the latest chapter of I Become a Noble in the Spring and Autumn Period!
The original intention of destroying this meal is to attack the enemy all night and have breakfast tomorrow morning.
Zhi's army arrived outside the "Xianyu" city at noon. Even if it took some time to build a siege ladder, it would only take an hour at most. With the height and thickness of the "Xianyu" city wall and the size of the garrison, before nightfall,
Laying down is not a problem.
"This city is adjacent to a mountain. Three thousand bows and crossbows were sent up the mountain to rain down arrows on the city."
"Attack on all three sides, with the east as the main one."
"When the city is broken, we will surrender immediately and ask for power and authority outside the city."
A series of commands came out of Zhiyao's mouth, and what she got was a "promise".
If you have a real-time strategy drawing, you can find that the red area of "Xianyu" is surrounded by green, and the mountainous area in front is a state of red and green. Looking at the progress of the war, while a large area of Zhongshan Kingdom fell, the reservation area suffered an extremely heavy blow.
Severe cutting.
You don’t need to have much military literacy. In fact, you can see at a glance that the Jin army has achieved its strategic goal, that is, as long as the Jin army takes the "
The main forces of Xianyu City, Zhongshan Kingdom, Qiuyou, and Loufan will be blocked in the mountainous area immediately.
The officer who received the order went down, and then the troops with the task launched a series of actions.
"I remember that Zhongshan Kingdom was quite difficult to defeat?" Zhiyao was somewhat puzzled.
Historically, the Jin State fought many wars with the Zhongshan State. After fighting in the plains, it would withdraw its troops and rarely enter the mountainous areas...
The only two times, one was when Zhao Yang defeated the Zhongshan Kingdom in the plains, and then returned without success after entering the mountains; the other time was when the Wei family tried to attack, but also won in the plains, but suffered a huge defeat when they entered the mountains.
After Wei's painful lesson, the Jin State later did not bother to pay attention to the Zhongshan State. Only the Zhongshan State dared to send troops outside the mountainous areas to respond, and the rest simply ignored it.
After the Warring States Period, the Wei State once again attacked the Zhongshan State and won a series of victories, but it did not destroy the Zhongshan State. Later, the Zhao State took advantage of the Wei State and sent troops to attack the weakened Zhongshan State again, fighting for several years.
At the same time, Zhongshan Kingdom was destroyed at a relatively heavy price.
Why is Zhongshan so difficult to defeat? You will know this time.
As the two "pincers" of the pincer offensive, the Zhi family and the Wei family did not encounter much resistance. Just because of the geographical environment, the Zhi family lost more than 1,500 people, while the Wei family encountered slight resistance.
Simply throw more than 10,000 people in.
If we encounter firm resistance and invade with every inch of mountains and rivers and every inch of blood, how many lives will be lost?
The siege begins!
First came the Zhishi crossbowmen who went up the mountain. They repeatedly took advantage of the height of the terrain to shoot waves of arrows into the city.
Subsequently, feint attacks from the north and south began, attracting the defenders in "Xianyu" City.
There were not many Zhishi troops on the east side at first. It was not until the battle for the city wall started between the north and south that the Zhishi troops on the east side instantly increased and they immediately launched an siege.
Zhiyao, who was watching the battle, was on the mountain and saw his own troops attacking the city in the east. The Zhongshan Kingdom was unable to send troops for reinforcements, and knew that the result of the city's offensive and defensive battle had already appeared.
In fact, the Zhongshan Kingdom's garrison in "Xianyu" city itself is not very large. The dignitaries provide some troops when needed to defend the city. Under the premise that the city area is limited, how many more men, old and young, can be used to defend the city if they all go into battle.
What about the people?
Zhongshan is difficult to fight. It is difficult to fight for it at all levels in the mountainous area and it is difficult to provide logistics. It is not that Zhongshan’s combat effectiveness is stronger than that of Jin!
Zhiyaolu sent a total of 23,000 men to attack the city, with 3,000 and 4,000 men from the north and 4,000 from the south respectively. In addition to the 3,000 men who reached the top of the mountain, the main force from the east was 13,000 men.
Because of the advantage of geographical location, Zhiyao was not only able to visually detect the number of "Xianyu" defenders, but also had a comprehensive grasp of the movements of the defenders. Just ask how it was possible to lose!
Therefore, the total time from the launch of the siege to the capture of the eastern section of the city wall was only an hour and a quarter.
Of course, capturing the outer section of the city wall does not mean that the victory of the city is complete, only by breaking down the resistance of the defenders.
"Xianyu" first lost the east wall. The Zhishi troops who occupied the east wall section sent out manpower to respond to the friendly forces in the north and south. More troops entered the city and approached the palace area.
By the time Wei Ju, Han Geng and Zhao Wushe arrived, the Zhi family's flag had already been planted on top of the city.
"The Zhi family is far stronger than anyone else." Zhao Wuxie didn't know whether he was giving Zhi family eye drops or telling the truth, but he said that anyway.
The walls of "Xianyu", the capital of the Zhongshan Kingdom, were neither high nor thick, and perhaps the number of defenders was insufficient. However, it only took the Zhi family less than two hours to conquer it, and other families really couldn't do it.
For other families, the time spent on building the ladder to climb the city would be more than two hours, not to mention the time spent on observation, arranging troops, and the attack.
Therefore, the strength of Zhishi is reflected in many aspects, including its professional team of craftsmen.
Wei Ju thought to himself: "Zhiyao is a professional when it comes to siege!"
How to say?
Generally speaking, Zhiyao has a very brilliant record in siege. He has captured two capitals in one country. They are "
Linzi" and "Puyang".
Regardless of the circumstances under which Zhiyao won "Linzi" and "Puyang", he won them anyway.
They arranged their respective troop garrison areas, and after asking around, they found out that Zhiyao had already entered the "Xianyu" city, so they entered the city with the necessary escorts.
Today's cities generally do not have strict planning, resulting in random construction of buildings and crooked roads.
They didn't see many signs of fighting in the city, but some residents were guarded by Zhi's soldiers or escorted out of the city in groups.
What Han Geng was more concerned about was that there were arrows planted everywhere in the city. It could be seen at a glance that it had been covered by multiple arrow rains.
"How could an arrow reach here from outside the city?" Han Geng began to look around, found a hill to the west, and wondered what was going on.
"My family has mastered the advantages of various long-range attacks after generations of research. How come Zhi Yao can master all kinds of textiles that Zhi family has been doing for generations without a teacher!" Han Geng was extremely worried.
Let’s put it this way? Because modern people receive information very easily, there are a lot of useful and useless resources, and many things have long been taken for granted.
In an era when it is difficult to learn, the limitations of thinking and vision will definitely be more serious. Many modern people think that there is nothing special, which may be a secret to the ancients.
Take Zhiyao for example, arranging bows and crossbows to shoot arrows on the mountain. Some families do not know how to take advantage of the geographical advantages, and it is very likely that they do not even know the basic common sense of modern people such as standing high and shooting far.
Han Geng discovered more than once that Zhi Yao was handy with many means of long-range attacks. If Zhi Yao's method of playing was not different from Han's, Han would have suspected that her family's secrets had been stolen.
When they arrived near Miyagi City, they saw Chi's troops surrounding Miyagi City, and many auxiliary soldiers were busy demolishing houses to collect some materials.
Zhiyao finally saw Zhao Wuxie, glanced at Wei Ju and Han Geng, and gave them a smile.
"Yao's speed is the envy of others." Is Wei Ju joking?
Zhiyao also asked Wei Chi where he was, and learned that it was Zhishen's side, so he continued: "If Ji Lan doesn't surrender, Yao is about to attack with his troops."
At this time, Zhao Wuxie moved his lips, wanting to request that Zhao's troops take over the attack on the palace city. Considering Zhiyao's attitude towards him, he quickly winked at Han Geng.
Of course Han Geng saw Zhao Wushe's hint and pretended not to see it.
Crazy!
The Zhi family has already peeled off the shell of the "Xianyu" city, and only the breakthrough to the palace city is enough to achieve full success. Why should they give up the honor of winning the palace city of Zhongshan State?
That gives away not only honor, but also the right to capture and plunder. Not to mention that the Zhi family is currently the most powerful family in the Jin Kingdom. Even if the Zhi family is weaker, can they just hand over the credit to others casually?
What? To avenge my father? That’s a magic bullet, right?
Dad was killed, so others should give in to everything???
Since that was the attitude, why did we go to meet the Wei family first and then accept the arrangement of having the Zhi family as the vanguard, instead of the Zhao family being the vanguard and then personally capture the city of "Xianyu".
If what Zhao Wuxie did was to lead his army across the mountains, rush to the side of "Xianyu" and then capture the city, he would not need anyone's consent to do anything, and if the thing was done, he would be praised by the world.
Zhiyao is not blind. How could he not see that Zhao Wuji repeatedly hinted at Han Geng, and later even played a game of eye contact with Wei Ju.
This is because Zhao Wuxie knew that Zhiyao was not blind, and the purpose of doing those things was to let Zhiyao see clearly, and he used this roundabout way to ask for Zhiyao's permission.
Again, if Zhiyao really transfers the attack on Miyagi to the Zhao family, it will turn out that Zhiyao is the lunatic. The level of mental retardation can make Zhishi's internal affairs explode.
Therefore, when Zhiyao faced Zhao Wuxie's roundabout approach, he only gave a smiley expression. When the troops were ready, he issued the order to attack.
The Zhishi crossbowmen waiting for orders, they shot arrows amidst the sound of bangs.
Han Geng, who came to the scene in person, had just seen the crossbow and could roughly guess what it was at a glance.
What made Han Geng numb the most was the emergence of a weapon with a very large frame in the Zhi family. Because he didn’t know the relationship between the word "crossbow",
Can't pronounce the correct names of those weapons.
Those were chariot crossbows, and after a lot of hard work, a batch of them were brought, but some were actually forced to be discarded on the road.
No matter how the abandoned crossbow was lost, there will be people behind to search for it and then destroy it into a state of disgrace to prevent it from being found and copied.
Dozens of crossbows fired at the walls of Miyagi City. It seemed that they were firing according to some strict requirements, and a sequence for climbing came out.
After melee soldiers launch an siege, setting up ladders is considered a routine operation. Throwing a rope with a hook and then climbing has also appeared in other city offensive and defensive battles. The tactic of using a chariot crossbow to shoot first and then climb up is the first time that it was used in Zhuxia
Appear here.
Part of the walls of the palace city was occupied by Chi clan soldiers. The gate was opened by soldiers who were not Chi clan. A group of people with obviously distinguished status rushed out. They were covered by arrows from Chi clan crossbowmen, and all of them were shot dead.
.
After several passes, there were actually women in the city gate. If they came out empty-handed, they would not be attacked, but if they came out with weapons, they would be shot dead.
There is no distinction between gender on the battlefield. There is only one reason why women will not be attacked without holding weapons. Their uterus is a life-saving charm.
This time, Zhiyao still didn't wait long. Zhi's soldiers rushed in and took Ji Lan over soon.
"Only death!"
This is a sober man who knows that Jin will not let Zhongshan go.
That's why the dignitaries lined up to die, while their female relatives also struggled to live.
Zhiyao took a few glances at Ji Lan, who was disheveled but could speak Jin dialect, then turned to look at Zhao Wuxie and said, "I'll let you handle it."
The credit for catching Ji Lan has been given to the people of the Zhi family, and they will not be short of any reward.
Zhiyao doesn't care about Ji Lan's fate at all. If he can make more use of it, why not?
Zhao Wuji was stunned on the spot.
Wei Ju and Han Geng were stunned, looking at Zhiyao with much less fear in their eyes.
"No matter how much Zhiyao hates Zhao Wujie, he has done his best to be benevolent and righteous!"
