Chapter 1900: Attack and Defense of Yanjing Battle (11)
Although the North Gate guard Su Jian died, his deputy general was still there, so the Han army was not in a state of confusion because of the lack of a guard.
However, this deputy general's ability is limited and he cannot compete with the famous general Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui also discovered this, so the siege methods kept changing, but Lieutenant General Su Jian could not keep up with his rhythm. This caused the situation in the North Gate to decline to this point.
Therefore, when the commander-in-chief Xue Gang arrived, the happiest person was not the defenders, but the deputy general Su Jian.
After fighting against famous generals like Xue Rengui, he realized that the gap between himself and the famous generals was as big as heaven and earth.
Xue Gang waved the flag and ordered: "First move away the damaged catapults and crossbows. The remaining ones that are not damaged, follow my commander's command, aim at the Qin Army's eighteenth well, and launch
.”
[Ding dong, the effect 2 of ‘Five Tigers and One Tai Sui’ is activated. When four people are present, the general will command 1.
Xue Gang’s basic commander is 97, Liu Che’s ‘Wu Xiong’ is 3, and the current commander has risen to 101.]
When Xue Rengui saw Xue Gang appearing at the top of the city, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, he was about to shoot an arrow at Xue Gang, but as soon as the arrow was nocked on his bow, the next moment, all the catapults and crossbows on the North Gate Tower were all aimed at his position.
"not good."
Xue Rengui screamed, turned around, jumped down the well, and ran towards the main formation. This time he really had no time to save people.
Xue Rengui ran fast without even looking behind him, because he knew without looking that there must be a sky full of arrows and rocks behind him.
Boom...boom...
Hundreds of stone bullets and thousands of crossbow arrows fell, targeting exactly where Xue Rengui was just now, and the well was instantly smashed into a sieve.
The dozens of soldiers who remained above had no time to escape, and they didn't even have time to scream. They were either smashed into meat pies by flying rocks falling from the sky, or were pierced by crossbow arrows with thick wrists. Their death was extremely miserable.
The rain of flying stones and arrows covered a wide area. Although Xue Rengui avoided the densest areas, there were still a few sporadic stone bullets and crossbow arrows falling around him.
Xue Rengui ran and hid, avoiding all the stone bullets and crossbow arrows, but Xue Gang on the tower commanded the catapult and continued to fire flying stones and crossbow arrows at him, so another rain of arrows and stones hit him.
Seeing this, Xue Rengui blew a whistle quickly, and his psychic mount Bai Linju, upon hearing his master's whistle, immediately turned into a bolt of lightning and ran towards his master at high speed.
Boom...boom...boom...
Flying rocks kept falling, and Xue Rengui dodged from left to right, then jumped onto the back of Bai Linju, waving his halberd to block the arrow stones, and rode his BMW all the way back to the formation.
"Huh, it's so dangerous."
Xue Rengui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The concentrated fire of more than twenty catapults and hundreds of crossbows made him feel a little overwhelmed. I really don't know how Sun Lingming managed to survive unharmed under the firepower of a city.
Xue Gang saw that Xue Rengui escaped without any damage, and his face was filled with displeasure. He thought that under his personal command, he could injure Xue Rengui even if he couldn't kill him, but he didn't expect that even a hair on the opponent's body would be injured.
Not hurt.
"You're lucky."
Xue Gang said coldly, and then he got off the city wall and hid his figure, not giving Xue Rengui a chance to set fire on himself. He would not make a stupid mistake like Su Jian.
Being suddenly 'bombed' by the Han army and almost injured, Xue Rengui naturally wanted to take revenge and go back.
Therefore, before returning to the main formation, Xue Rengui prepared to command the catapult to attack Xue Gang, so that he could experience the feeling of being bombed. However, Xue Gang disappeared before the order was given, and the Qin army's catapult also lost its total value.
The goal.
"Hmph, you can run fast." Xue Rengui snorted with an unhappy look on his face.
After Xue Gang arrived, under his command as the commander of 101, the chaotic command situation in the North Gate was quickly brought under control.
The defensive equipment at the north gate was too badly damaged and was completely suppressed by the Qin army in terms of firepower. If there were no spare equipment to replace it, it would be in a passive state of being beaten until the moat was completely filled.
Although Yanjing's moat was dug extremely deep, there would always be a day when the Qin army would fill it up, and then the Qin army could formally attack the city.
Therefore, Xue Gang must reverse the disadvantageous defensive situation of the North Gate before the moat is filled.
Xue Gang ordered the removal of damaged and unusable equipment in order to make room for intact and usable equipment, and he brought fifty slingshots and two hundred crossbows, which could just replace the damaged equipment.
Under Xue Gang's command, the North Gate soldiers no longer bumped around like headless flies, but moved materials, controlled equipment, and controlled equipment, all in an orderly manner towards the good side.
Xue Rengui outside the city also discovered the changes in the Han army, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, Xue Gang's arrival not only gave the North Gate defenders a backbone, but also brought a large number of reinforcements to the North Gate.
and replacement ordnance.
With the addition of these reinforcements and equipment, Xue Rengui's previous efforts were all in vain.
In addition, even Xue Rengui could not find a flaw in Xue Gang's command in terms of command. He could only attack steadily and weaken the defenders bit by bit.
After re-stabilizing the north gate, Xue Gang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately had Su Jian's deputy general Zhang Wei escorted over.
Seeing the horrified expression on Zhang Wei's face, Xue Gang sighed and said: "I know this is not your fault, it's not that you are incompetent, but that Xue Rengui is too strong."
Hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Zhang Wei's eyes, but Xue Zhichang's next words drove him to hell.
"But if Beimen suffers such a huge loss, someone must bear the responsibility."
Xue Gang patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder and said indifferently: "Go with peace of mind, I will take care of your wife and children."
"big……"
Zhang Wei spoke in horror, but before he could finish his words, Xue Gang cut off his head with a sword.
"If you pass on the order, Zhang Wei is incompetent and has caused heavy losses to the North Gate. I have executed him on the spot." Xue Gang said coldly.
The siege continued, and the losses on both sides of Qin and Han were considerable.
In the early stage, because they were caught off guard, the Han army suffered greater casualties than the Qin army.
However, as Xue Gang transferred his army back, the Han army received support, and the casualty ratio between the two sides gradually became equal.
However, overall, the casualties of the Qin army were still lower than those of the Han army.
As the sky grew dark, the sun set, and the moon rose, Su Dingfang ordered the troops to withdraw and return to camp, thus ending the one-day siege.
The Qin army could neither fill the moat nor destroy all the equipment at the top of the city, but they still achieved brilliant results, but their own casualties were also considerable.
