Four hundred and seventieth chapters are good people
There is a lot of firewood and fuel in the city of Hebei County. When the country was first cleared of land, all the trees in the surrounding ten miles were cut down.
Therefore, with constant addition of firewood, the fire continued all afternoon, and it was not until nightfall that it gradually extinguished.
The flame purifies bacteria and viruses, burns a large number of mosquitoes, and reduces the risk of plague outbreaks.
The red coals were dotted among the black ash all over the place, and the temperature was still extremely high. The siege troops could not get close at all and could only watch from a distance.
The Liangzhou thieves haven't given up yet.
The soldiers in the center got precious rest time. In addition to being extremely hot, Liu Xiang still regretted the arrows he shot.
A total of 700,000, it was gone as soon as the fire was fired, and tens of thousands of feather arrows shot by Liangzhou people were collected. There are still more than 800,000 arrows in the city, which can only cope with another three days and three nights.
The city was attacked violently.
If Han Sui could launch another siege of this intensity.
Liu Xiang was skeptical about this. Liangzhou people were quite brave and fierce, but they were not afraid of life and death, right?
The anti-thief coalition forces in Liangzhou have lost at least more than 30,000 people. They must be reaching their limit. With such losses in battle, their morale must be extremely low.
It can only be said that the war in the next few days was due to the hard-hearted people of Liangzhou or because he had too many arrows.
In more than two months of siege warfare, due to the lack of hand-to-hand combat, more than 2,000 Chinese soldiers were injured by arrows. Only 600 people needed to be treated in the medical camp, and only about 150 people were shot to death.
indivual.
The role of iron armor in the cold weapon era is so obvious.
Over the years, it has become common for Chinese soldiers to continue fighting with arrows hanging on their bodies. However, if the enemy is hit by an arrow, he will lose his combat effectiveness and will die if he hits a vital point.
When the equipment gap widens to a certain extent, the battle loss ratio will look like a story, and zero casualties will become commonplace.
A troop with all armored personnel and a troop with an armor ratio of less than 10% will suffer a high damage ratio even in a field battle, not to mention a siege battle where the attacker will suffer a huge loss.
The soldiers in the center had many crossbows and arrows, and countless enemies were shot to death. In addition, those who were killed by stone bullets, rolling stones and trees, were burned to death by gold juice or infected, and those who climbed the city and fell to death.
, trampling on each other and dying.
750 is more than 30,000. The damage caused by the ant attack on the city is so great.
Without the coordination of large-scale siege equipment and the assistance of strategies, this kind of strategy would kill eight hundred enemies and cause ten thousand losses to oneself.
Therefore, Liu Xiang never used the ant-possession method to attack hard, and tried to avoid attacking the city by force, which would really hurt his muscles and bones.
The next day, the Liangzhou people continued to attack the city, with the same siege on all sides, the same sea of people, but the difference was that the siege soldiers hesitated a lot, the rhythm became slower, the pressure became less, and the enemy was afraid.
Tired, the fighting spirit has faded.
Liu Xiang obviously saw that the supervising team outside the city was killing more people.
He held a telescope and observed Han Sui's central army. The formation was very thick and pressed very close to the front. It seemed that they had not given up yet and could launch an offensive at any time.
This is good news.
It would take four or five days for the army from Longguan and Xiabian to arrive. During this period, Liu Xiang was confident that he could hold on, but he was not confident that the enemy would not escape.
"Send the order and save your arrows. When the enemy retreats, don't chase them and shoot them."
We have to give the people of Liangzhou a little hope, otherwise their efforts will be in vain if they run away.
At this time, Han Sui was indeed retreating. He had suffered a lot of damage, but there was no hope of breaking the city. There were too many bows and crossbows in the city.
"We are ten times more powerful than the enemy, but we can't even attack the city wall. If we continue to attack, it will only increase casualties."
"Big boss, the enemy army is just relying on many bows and crossbows. Our army can bring more shields and use up their arrows. How many arrows can they bring? There will always be a time when they finish shooting. By then, ten times the army will swarm forward.
No one in the city can escape."
Liang Xing had a different opinion. There would be no undead people in a war. Once they were dead, they could just be recruited.
Song Jian also followed Liang Xing's advice and advised: "The enemy has few troops. Yesterday they set fire to block our offensive, which shows that they are not strong enough. If we retreat now, it will be as if we have traveled ninety miles in a hundred miles. Isn't it a pity?"
"
He proclaimed himself king in Baohan in the west of Longxi County, established a reign title, and appointed hundreds of officials. He had no room for change with the Han people. If Ji County was occupied by the Han court, Longxi would definitely not be able to keep it, and he would be dead.
Now Liu Xiang, the leader of the Han Dynasty, is having trouble with his brain and is trapped with a meager force. It is a good time to kill him. How can we retreat?
"This..." Although Han Sui felt that Song Jian's words made sense, the city's defenders were all in armor. Although they were small in number, they were not good at fighting, so they might not be able to break the city.
He was very hesitant.
However, Yan Xing's words made him make up his mind: "My lord, all the armies gathered together to besiege Liu Qiaoqi, who had insufficient troops. It was still so difficult to fight. If the troops retreated and returned, the forces of each army were scattered. When Liu Qiaoqi defeated the three auxiliaries, he
The army has withdrawn its hand and established a firm foothold in Weinan, how can we stop it?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Han Sui made up his mind, but others also became alert.
This is the truth. If you don’t take advantage of Liu’s lack of cavalry to kill him, who can stop him when he draws his hand and launches a massive attack on Liangzhou?
After more than two months of fighting, everyone has clearly seen the combat power of the Anping Army. If they cannot seize the opportunity this time, there will be no future.
Siege the city!
The city must be attacked!
No one is allowed to preserve their strength!
The Chinese armies from all directions arrived directly at the city. Twenty to thirty thousand infantrymen carried flying ladders and began to climb the city aggressively. The cavalry once again ran around the city and fired. The infantry archers who had suffered heavy losses before regrouped and continued to shoot at the defenders on the city.
The construction speed of the earthen platform suddenly increased, and dense crowds surrounded Ji County, and the fighting spirit became high again.
The intensity of the siege suddenly increased greatly, leaving Liu Xiang stunned for a moment.
What the hell?
He also wanted to release some water appropriately, fearing that these Liangzhou people would escape. Why did all the six Luya flags move forward and the main force directly attack the city?
Are Liangzhou people so stubborn?
But a few days ago, there was no such unity. They all took turns sending the main force of their respective Chinese armies to participate in the siege.
Is this because I have a brain convulsion? Or did I meet a noble person to help me?
Liu Xiang was not afraid of them coming to attack the city. The main force of those people was just like that in front of the soldiers. What he was afraid of was that these Liangzhou thieves would retreat to their territory and defend the city, or they would fight against him in the vast grasslands and deserts.
fight as a guerrilla.
The Qiang rebellion in Liangzhou lasted for so many years. It was not that the imperial troops could not defeat the rebels, but that the finances were dragged down by repeated rebellions.
This time in Ji County, I used myself as bait because I didn't want to follow the old path of the imperial court. I wanted to deal with the main force of the rebels in one battle, and then quickly pacify the territory, implement good governance, and govern the place.
Han Sui and others cooperated with him so much that he was embarrassed to kill them.
Looking at "Han", "Song", "Wang", "Liang", "Zhang", "Yang", Liulu Yaqi, Liu Xiang secretly sighed, they are all good people!
