Above Rencheng, Su Wei looked at his white-faced subordinates and couldn't help but feel a little bitter. There was still some gap between his subordinates and those outside the city. Of course, the deterrent effect of the catapult played a great role.
However, seeing this scene, Su Wei also felt the gap between the two sides. In fact, Su Wei also saw that the Shanyang army outside the city was not as strong as the legendary one. Then he thought that they were also after the war with the Wuwei Army.
It was formed by recruiting local young and strong people. Only then did I understand why the Shanyang Army outside the city looked a little unperfect. It looked like the army was mixed with three groups, especially some of which seemed to be obviously surprised by the catapult.
This also made Su Wei understand that the reason why the Shanyang army outside the city used a catapult to attack wildly was to shock the defenders in the city and increase morale to the Shanyang army outside the city.
"Cloud ladder is ready, the siege troops are ready to climb the city and fight in close combat!" Zhao Xun ordered in a deep voice.
Simple ladders have appeared from the rear. This is a simple ladder made during lunch break. Every soldier carrying the ladder has a shield, and behind them, there are more
Light melee soldiers, all of them were wearing light armor, holding horizontal swords in one hand and round shield in the other, ready to go. At the front, there were hundreds of infantry soldiers, and theirs was the first to resist the counterattack on the city.
front.
Although these soldiers looked different, they still followed the steps of practice according to the requirements of the training. Zhao Xun waved his hand, and the messengers behind him were waving the flag. The ladder soldiers and ladders had already been prepared
The soldiers climbed the city rushed towards the city like cheetahs.
Rencheng city.
"Are you finally going to start to seize the city? Next, it's time for us to move. This time, let's see you still suppress us?" Su Wei looked solemn, and he pulled out his sword, raised it high above his head, and shouted: "Archer
……Prepare……"
With the rapid footsteps, two thousand archers rushed to the back of the female wall. Although the archers appeared here quickly, Su Wei's face was not good-looking, because except for some old men, he looked cold and faced the tide outside the city.
The enemy soldiers who swept over were calm and motionless as if they were outside the mountain, but the rest were terrified of horror, and even their left hand was shaking slightly. Needless to say, they could see their nervousness.
"Oh... After the army was reorganized, there were still too few trainings, and there were too few blood!" Seeing this, Su Wei could only sigh like this. These faces were naturally recruited in the army's reorganization.
Qingshang. This is also the reason why the original government army suffered too much loss after the war with the Wuwei Army, which caused the Wuwei Army to recruit the young and strong army to join the army in large numbers.
However, Su Wei also knew that if he could defeat this battle and survive, these soldiers would grow up quickly in the cruel killing and grow into qualified veterans! However, the result of this battle has been out of his control and out of him
The expectation: The Shanyang Army had planned to launch a war, but the Yanzhou Prefecture Army was passively defending and transferred the army east to Luzhou Prefecture, which made Su Wei feel that the prospects of the Yanzhou Prefecture Army were not very good.
"Kill..." A tsunami shout came from outside the city. Three or four thousand Shanyang Army infantry arranged in an orderly formation and rushed forward. More than a hundred ladders were carried by Shanyang Army soldiers and held shields.
Immediately after the heavy armored infantry, they were the main force of the city seizing landlords.
Zhao Xun, who was watching the battle standing behind, did not relax at all. He waved his hand again and said, "The archers moved forward and went to the city fifty steps to shoot and cover the siege!"
Teams of archers moved quickly to the front of the city. They lined up in neat rows and took a long bow from behind. They took the bow and arrow, and began to aim at the enemy soldiers who appeared on the top of the city.
Above the Rencheng City Wall.
"General! The enemy's siege troops have entered within 200 steps." The general said in a deep voice beside Su Wei.
Su Wei's raised right arm seemed to have been petrified, motionless. Nearly two thousand archers stared at the sword in Su Wei's hand, waiting for Su Wei's military order.
"General, the enemy's siege team has rushed within a hundred steps!"
Hearing the prompt from the generals beside him, Su Wei narrowed his eyes, revealing a cold murderous intent, raised his sword and waved it forward with force, and shouted: "Shoot the arrow..."
"Swish swish swish swish..."
Nearly two thousand archers turned around suddenly, and in a flash, one long bow after another was full, and a sharp arrow was already on the string. The next moment, the sharp roars were endless, and arrows as dense as locusts were pouring from the city tower.
He leaked down and ruthlessly landed in the surging siege army.
The endless howling sounds suddenly rang through the sky. Although there were shield guards, the siege soldiers continued to fall. However, they did not retreat and continued to move forward rapidly.
Seeing that the archers of the Yanzhou Prefecture Army had already started shooting on the city wall, Zhao Xun breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they did not continue to wait, otherwise, the one who suffered the loss would be his own archer.
"Free shooting, shoot! Suppress them!" Behind the Shanyang Army's army's archer officer roared sharply. At this moment, the archer's head emerged on the city wall, and naturally the best target to attack.
Furthermore, the Shanyang Army was equipped with the bows and arrows of the Xiaoguo Army, and the bowstrings were also equipped with many bowstrings, so it was much stronger than the bows and arrows of the Yanzhou Prefecture Army on the city wall.
The bowstring sounded lightly, and the arrows were like locusts, leaving the string.
Suddenly, under the city wall, the Shanyang Army's arrows began to fly out and shot towards the archers of the Yanzhou Prefecture Army above the city wall. I dare not say that the arrows and arrows are all perfect, but they still make the arrows on the city wall.
The Yanzhou Prefecture Army suffered a considerable loss.
"Shoot, shoot at their archers! Quick!" Su Wei couldn't help but look bitter when he saw the archers under the city wall shooting at the limit he had reached. He knew that the arrows in the other party's hand were about to be shot.
Not the strongest ones under one's command. It's not that our bows and arrows are much worse than those of our opponents. But those with excellent weapons and armor and equipment were all transported to Luzhou Prefecture. After all, the Wuwei Army is the first one to solve now.
The enemy. It is difficult to obtain the best military equipment and equipment for soldiers to supplement them.
"Herving ladder!" As the arrows on the head decreased, the siege team also approached the foot of the city wall.
Then, one ladder after another was raised, the light armor behind him carried a shield in his hand, and the knife was held in his mouth, and quickly climbed up the ladder like the wind.
The melee soldiers on the cloud ladder also climbed to their heads, took off their knives, jumped up, jumped from the battlements, and flashed in succession, slashing left and right, with unparalleled momentum.
"Kill the sword and shield soldiers, stop them!" The archers on both sides stopped shooting, because at this time, large-scale arrows could no longer bring effective effects. They could not only bring them to the enemy.
Hurting will hurt one's own people by mistake.
"kill!"
Su Wei, who had a gray face, shouted loudly, snatched the spear of a Shanyang army infantry and threw it forward with a sharp roar. The sharp spear was coldly pierced through the one that had just emerged from the ladder.
The soldiers of Shanyang Army were still swiftly cast, and they flew backwards with their bodies and fell under the city.
"Roll the stones and roll the wood, smash it for me!" Su Wei roared angrily.
In an instant, the soldiers of Yanzhou Prefecture around were shocked by Su Wei's shocking roar, and they picked up the surrounding logs and smashed them out of the city. Then, some soldiers began to push the ladder with their spears, trying to push them out of the city.
.
"General... I think they are not really siegeing the city, but are using us to succeed and train the soldiers." Just as Su Wei was encouraged to defeat the enemy soldiers who attacked the city for the third time, the
The chief said in a deep voice.
"Yeah?" Su Wei frowned and said, "What does it mean?"
"General, the subordinates observed it and began to formally attack the city. In just half an hour, there were less than a thousand soldiers killed in the Shanyang Army outside the city, but they replaced the entire army in turn. General, these mountains
Didn’t the Yang Army recruit and train after the war with the Wuwei Army? It seems that what he said is true. At this moment, Li Feng is using our counterattack to train his soldiers. Every time he attacked the city, he did not let him go.
The subordinates fought for their lives, but they could fight if they could, and they retreated if they couldn’t. You see, they were also orderly and moderate in retreating.”
"Bastard, this guy is simply..." Su Wei opened his mouth and wanted to scold, but in the end he didn't know what to say. Finally, he said in a muffled voice, "It's okay, they are training troops, and the same is true for me. I don't believe it.
, With his swaying actions, he can take down the Rencheng we guarded."
Seeing Su Wei like this, the generals around him sighed secretly and said nothing. There were 15,000 people outside the city, each of whom was full of morale, but what about the soldiers on the city? How many of them could compare with the soldiers outside the city?
Speaking of which, after the Shanyang Army recruited local young and strong soldiers, the Songzhou Prefecture had no effect on the 10,000 Yanzhou Prefecture Army. In other words, there was nothing too much in the short term.
It worked. Therefore, Xu Jie chose to forget them. Therefore, when the weapons and weapons were prepared, the food and supplies were insufficient, and the military pay could not be paid according to the amount, not many of these soldiers really fought to the death.
On the Dongcheng City Tower, there are a thousand guards around them, and the main general is the lieutenant of the Conservatory. There was no such official position in the prefecture army, but after Xu Jie organized the Yanzhou Prefecture Army according to the guards, this was the lieutenant of the Conservatory.
Then it appeared. Below it, there are two song lengths and one team leader.
"There are cavalrymen outside the city. Let the entire army prepare for it and immediately inform General Su of this situation." The captain Zhiguo calmly looked at the cavalry roaring outside the city and said in a deep voice.
"Five thousand cavalry! Shanyang Army... has actually started to take action!" The bad officer said in his heart.
"Report... to the lieutenant, General Su from the south of the city sent an order to garrison the city and not leave easily." A soldier hurriedly rode his horse to report the report.
"What's the situation in the south of the city? I heard the continuous sound of drums and trumpets there. Is there an enemy attacking the city?" The captain Zhiguo asked in a voice.
"If you want to go back to the emperor, outside the South Gate, the 10,000 Shanyang troops have begun to attack the South Gate. The two sides are fighting fiercely. As for how small the battle is, I don't know."
"Send the order, archers prepare, and whenever the enemy cavalry approaches, shoot and kill them! Without my military order, the city gate shall not be opened." The captain Zhiguo ordered sternly.
"Listen to the brothers in the city, open the city gate quickly. Our army has already launched an operation in the south of the city. If you want to save your life, you must do as agreed and immediately!" In the cavalry formation of Shanyang Army outside the city,
A shout came.
"Huh? What does it mean? Agree? Could it be... the person who came..." Captain Zhiguo suddenly remembered the person who came to win over him a few days ago, and cold sweat oozed out of his forehead.
"Go...get all the officers...uh...you...you are..." Looking at the long knife on his chest, the Captain Zhiguo said with difficulty.
"That's right, my brothers and I have surrendered to the Shanyang Army." One of the Qu Chang said sternly, and after saying that, he pulled out the long sword in his hand ruthlessly.
"I have surrendered to the Shanyang Army. Those who are willing to stay with me will stay. Those who are unwilling can leave on their own." After dozens of soldiers around him killed the personal guards of the Captain Zhiguo, Qu Chang raised his high position.
The long sword of blood dripping roared sharply.
"The same is true for me. I am willing to join the Shanyang Army and become a soldier in the Shanyang Army."
"The same is true for me..."
In an instant, more than ten officers responded to the order and surrendered to the Shanyang Army. The three who did not reply also put down their weapons and left.
"Come on, open the city gate! Welcome the Shanyang army into the city!"
"Crack..." The closed city gate was slowly opened.
"The First Battalion, enter the city and take over the city gate." Guan Lin said coldly. Seeing the city gate being opened, Guan Lin's heart couldn't help but feel warm.
In an instant, a thousand cavalry swarmed out and became closer toward the city gate.
…………
"Woo...woo...woo..."
"General, listen, Guan Lin and the others' horns came from the east gate, and they entered the city." Lu Yu said excitedly.
Zhao Xun breathed a sigh of relief and said sternly: "Send the order, once the east gate is broken, the army will attack the city!"
When Zhao Xun received the sound of the horn from the east gate, Su Wei on the city wall also received it. Unlike Zhao Xun's joy, Su Wei's face turned pale. Because he had heard that the sound of the horn was
What came from the city, that is, the weapon cavalry that was surrounding the east gate had already entered the east gate.
"Bastard, what's going on!" Apart from cursing, Su Wei could no longer remember anything to vent.
"Liu Dun, immediately bring the three thousand reserve teams under the city and go to Dongcheng to pick up the support. Immediately!" After Su Wei calmed down a little, he rushed to the generals beside him.
"General, the Shanyang army outside the city has begun to attack the city again."
This time, the Shanyang Army's siege team was not in line with the beginning, and they retreated as soon as they fought, but the army pressed over and attacked the south gate. The ladder quickly stood up and leaned against the city wall.
The soldiers of the Shanyang army shouted that when the east gate was broken, the army attacked inside and outside, they were killed very fiercely. However, the soldiers of the Yanzhou Prefecture on the city changed slightly, and the east gate had been lost, so it was really inside and outside.
Pinched.
Under Su Wei's strong scolding, the soldiers of the defenders firmly believed that this was just a lie of the Shanyang Army. However, with the rumbling sound of horse hooves in the city, the shouts of killing and the rising smoke told the soldiers of the defenders of the city.
, The enemy really came in the city. At this moment, the morale of the soldiers guarding the city suddenly fell to a low point. It was very open, and the soldiers of Shanyang soldiers began to kill the city.
This time, from the beginning of the siege, until the infantry leaped to the top of the city through the ladder, it took less than half an hour.
A series of shouts of killing sounds were heard, and the defenders could no longer resist. They did not care about the leaders of the battle behind and fled to the city one by one. More soldiers were under the slogan of the surrender of Shanyang Army not killing those who surrendered.
Skip the weapons and surrender.
Not long after, the city gate was occupied, and the closed Rencheng gate was actually opened first by the surrendered soldiers of the Yanzhou Prefecture Army. The Shanyang army outside the city immediately rushed in, and the south gate of Rencheng was broken...
On a dim afternoon, although it had not snowed, the howling north seemed even colder. On the earth, there were corpses everywhere, slowly warming up the remaining snow. Finally, the blood was fused together and frozen into ice.
"General Su, you have surrendered. The four city gates have been taken down by me. In addition to being killed in battle, most of the defenders in the city surrendered. General Su, even if you don't think about yourself, you will change it to you for more than 400 people.
The soldiers thought about it. Do you want them to die under the arrows in the hands of the soldiers behind me? Do you want hundreds of families to hang white?" Zhao Xun said with a smile to the hundreds of soldiers guarding the side of the city tower.
This Su Wei was well-known among the 10,000 troops in Songzhou Prefecture. He persuaded him to surrender and take over the other counties, and he would no longer have to fight for a long time.
"General Su, Ge Xin and Lord Ge all believe that the Shanyang Army is the most beneficial force to Yanzhou, and he is now staying under my command. The general's surrender can reduce killings and facilitate our Shanyang Army to deal with local disasters.
relief.”
"Okay, I surrendered, not because of defeat, but because of the people of Songzhou Prefecture!" Su Wei said slowly after a while, and then put on the sharp sword in his hand.
Although he was a little despised by Su Wei's love of face, he still said, "General Su Dayi, hundreds of thousands of people in Songzhou Prefecture would like to thank General Su for his actions. General Su, please go to the county government to discuss the matters in the city.
.”
Su Wei's old face turned red and said, "Su, the defeated general, is ashamed of being accused of taking responsibility, please!" h!~!
