"Let it go!" With a command, hundreds of stone bombs whistled past the sky and headed straight for Meiji City.
"Boom..." There was a loud noise in an instant, and the walls of Meijicheng North City were once again damaged by the Zhao army's catapult. Although Meijicheng was repaired many times after the war, it was still unable to compare with the speed of destruction.
This is the fourth day after the Zhao army sieges the city. The walls of Meijicheng North City are so messy. The female wall that was originally covered with things guarding the city no longer exists, only the only one left
The ruins. In the past four days, most of the Zhao army attacked the city with catapults and crossbows, and then used heavy infantry to cover the crossbows to suppress them at close range. Finally, they approached the city gate, and rushed the car and the ladder immediately leaned on the northern city.
The Bingzhou Army in the city naturally fought back under Shi Lin's command. However, what made Shi Lin arrive was that the Zhao army's infantry attack was not very strong.
In the past four days, more than 13,000 soldiers in the city were injured or killed, and the soldiers guarding the city were suppressed by the bed crossbows, catapults and the powerful crossbows of the Zhao army, suffered even more casualties, with more than 15,000 people.
The Bingzhou Army guarding the city had less than 8,000 soldiers. Although there were nearly 20,000 people in the countryside, they were not enough to surround Meijicheng.
"Damn it! The Zhao army's siege equipment is too powerful. I just don't know when our reinforcements will arrive. At that time, we must make them look good." A general next to Shi Lin spitted and scolded in a low voice.
Dao. Facing the stone bombs shot from Zhao Jun's catapult, he had to retreat.
Shi Lin frowned and talked endlessly about the attack of Zhao army. The stone bullets thrown by Zhao army's throwing car were actually polished round stone balls. They flew far, and their goals were accurate, and more importantly,
Yes, the lethality of the city guards is very painful. What's even more annoying is that the Zhao army had too many catapults, which made them frightened. Seeing this scene, Shi Lin, who was forced to do so, could not
Without ordering the pacification, defenders from Guangyan came to support him.
Pingding and Guangyan one is located in the southwest and the other is located in the south, which is regarded as the rear wing of Meiji City. When the Zhao army invaded Xihe Prefecture, these three places were the front lines against the Zhao army, and with Situ Tai, the south, the Bingzhou.
When the army was transferred north, more than 20,000 Bingzhou troops gathered in various places. Now Meijicheng is declining. As the garrison general of the northern line of Xihe Prefecture, Shi Lin naturally dispatched his rear troops to support him.
After Zhao Xun's fierce attack on Meijicheng, Shi Lin knew that he could not cope with the attack of the Zhao army outside the city, so he immediately sent an order to the defenders of Pingding and Guangyan, and immediately sent troops to support him in Meijicheng.
The land is to decide the victory and loss with the Zhao army. The two armies united, and there is also the possibility of defeating the occupying Zhao army. But if Meijicheng is allowed to fall, then not only will the tens of thousands of defenders in the north of Xihe Prefecture be destroyed, but Yunzhou Prefecture
Yang Li's army in the three cities of Dingping at the southern end will undoubtedly die. For Shi Lin, since the situation is so harsh, he can only fight here. If the great victory is over, there is still a glimmer of hope. Otherwise...
"General, although the Zhao army attacked the city very fiercely, most of them were mainly catapulted carts and crossbows. The soldiers did not do their best to attack the city. Is this a trick? The commander of the Zhao army outside the city was King Zhao.
Zhao Xun, there are more than 30,000 troops under his command, but have not been dispatched yet. Judging from Zhao Xun's fighting style, if we really attack our beautiful Jicheng, we are afraid that there will be no need to dispatch troops, and we will use catapults and crossbows to suppress the formation.
The new Zhao army, which is reorganized with 50,000 surrendered soldiers from the Northern Bingzhou outside the city, can also allow us..." Li You, deputy general next to Shi Lin, said in a deep voice.
Although he didn't say anything to me, Shi Lin already knew what the other party was going to say. Judging from the ability of the Zhao army outside the city, if the Zhao army attacked fiercely and attacked from three sides, he and others would not be able to hold on.
Shi Lin frowned without saying anything, Li You continued: "In addition, after the Zhao army collected the surrendered soldiers, about 300,000 soldiers and baggage soldiers were gathered in the northern part of Bingzhou. The food and grass consumed every day,
It is hard to estimate. The last general believes that Zhao Xun must have had any conspiracy when he acted like this outside the city."
Shi Lin sighed and said, "How can I not know? What I worry most are General Yang Li in the Dingping land north and the soldiers of the Bingzhou Northern Army under Cao Gang. They were trapped in the Dingping land by Qin Daolin, the general under Zhao Xun.
, unable to retreat south. If something goes wrong here, they will become turtles in the jar. If Zhao Xun outside the city is playing any conspiracy, the most likely one is General Yang Li. However, the troops in our hands
There are too few cavalry and they are extremely scarce to fight the Zhao army outside the city.”
Li You couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he heard this. After all, it was still poor in strength. The most fundamental reason was that Cao Gang split the northern part of Bingzhou, which not only allowed half of the territory of Bingzhou to be divided, but also caused the Bingzhou army to jointly suppress the Northern Army and Turkic Cavalry.
Later, they failed to develop well. And because of the Northern Army of Bingzhou and Turkic Cavalry, the war horses in their hands were also scarce.
"Okay, don't worry. No matter what trick Zhao Xun is playing outside the city, I have asked Pingding and Guangyan to come out of all the troops, work together to break the Zhao army outside the city, go north to support General Yang Li, and join forces to join forces to join forces.
After one place, the army retreated." Shi Lin said coldly, "This is also the meaning of the Grand Governor. I believe you have also received some news. The Zhao army went out of Taihang, attacked Shangdang Mansion, and cut off our retreat.
The Grand Commander had an order that the troops of the eastern prefectures began to retreat westward, while the troops of the western congress began to retreat. Therefore, we must preserve the total of nearly 50,000 soldiers in General Yang Li and Cao Gang's hands in the hands of nearly 50,000 soldiers."
When Shi Lin thought of the secret letter sent by Situ Tai, he felt cold all over. The Zhao army's actions were too sudden. As the commander of the Zhao army, Zhao Xun, the Zhao army was personally led by the army in the northern part of Bingzhou, attracting the Bingzhou army to go north, while Jizhou
The Zhao army raided the southern part of Bingzhou, and instantly reversed the stalemate, causing the Bingzhou army to almost fall into a desperate situation.
"It turns out that if you don't move, you'll turn it upside down. In a while, 200,000 troops swept across the northern part of Bingzhou with the goal of directly attacking Bingzhou. Zhao Xun is indeed extraordinary to rise in the poor land of the northern part of Zhao Xun!" Shi Lin
Sighing from the bottom of my heart.
In the past, Zhao Xun rose to the north of Youbei. Neither the court, Murong Cheng nor Situ Lei did not care too much, and allowed him to "do things wrong" in the northern part of Bingzhou, and even promoted the title. Why? At that time, because of Bingzhou's northern part.
The land was harassed by the Hu Hu in Youbei, and had already had the opportunity to approach the abandoned land of the court, and it was not taken seriously at all. But after Zhao Xun took over the entire Youzhou, he wanted to go back and forth, but it was too late to enter. He recovered the lost land for the court and gained great fame.
Zhao Xun was no longer the court could handle it at will without excuses. It happened that there was a rebellion from Xuzhou in the east and a rebellion from Liangzhou in the west, which was approaching the imperial capital Chang'an. The court was unable to take into account the north. Who would have thought that this was not the case.
The conspicuous little guy is the biggest enemy of Murong Cheng and Situ Lei. Not only Shi Lin sighed, but many people are like this.
…………
On the fifth day when Zhao Xun "attacked" Meijicheng, the defenders who pacified the land of Guangyan followed the orders of his superior Shi Lin's military and personally led 80% of the troops under his jurisdiction to arrive at Meijicheng.
The ward of Pingding County located in the southwest of Meiji City was Liang Wu. Shi Lin's deputy was arranged by Shi Lin to guard the flanks. At the beginning, when the Zhao cavalry harassed the northern border of Xihe Prefecture, Liang Wu wanted to send his hands many times.
The troops fought against the Zhao army, but with Shi Lin's strict order and Situ Tai's military order, he had to bear the anger and watched the Zhao army move outside Dingping City without restraint. The reason why Liang Wu has he and the outside of the city
The Zhao army, who had no trace, decided to fight in a battle because he had 5,000 cavalry in his hands, and was also the only cavalry in Xihe Prefecture. This is also why Liang Wu is good at commanding cavalry battles, so this branch
Among the main soldiers in Xihe Prefecture, five thousand cavalry were in his hands.
After receiving Shi Lin's order to rescue the army, Liang Wu immediately left five thousand soldiers to defend the city, and quickly rushed to Meiji City in the northeast with the remaining more than 13,000 soldiers. However, he was not careless and could not let him go.
His cautious superior issued a military order to seek help, which means that the current situation of the Zhao army had exceeded his expectations. What made Liang Wu even more shocked was that the Zhao army went west to Taihang Mountain and captured the Shangdang Mansion, the southeasternest of Bingzhou.
Now, no one can tell whether it is to enter the Taiyuan Prefecture of Bingzhou or the Hedong Prefecture of Yongzhou or the Henei Prefecture of Yongzhou. However, the actions of the Zhao army in Shangdang Prefecture suddenly hit the deadly critical place of the Bingzhou Army.
This is an indisputable fact. However, no matter what, he still has to continue fighting with the Zhao army.
After leaving the city, Liang Wu carefully sent a large number of scouts to act. Although he had more than 13,000 soldiers in his hand, he did not dare to be careless at all. He knew that it was Zhao Junzhi who fought against him.
Lord, Zhao Xun, King Zhao Xun. Zhao Xun was able to walk around the Turkic tribe and return to victory. Although it was because of the emptiness behind the Turkic people, such things, those who can do it and those who dare to do it have
How many people are there? Therefore, Liang Wu, who is eager to fight on weekdays, disappeared and became much more cautious.
Because they had the advantage of cavalry, Liang Wu's marching speed did not slow down from being careful and alert. As scouts, the cavalry took turns, casting a large number of nets and spreading them all around, which made Liang Wu's new army start to speed very much.
It's fast. However, it has to be said that in this case, it is a big test for the scouts. Because of Liang Wu's care, the responsibilities that these scouts need to bear are much heavier than those of Pi Ri.
At the beginning, there was no obvious trace of the Zhao army. This was not because the Zhao army suddenly disappeared, but because Zhao Xun gathered his troops to attack Meijicheng, the Zhao army rangers that appeared in the south of Meijicheng disappeared, perhaps participating in the attack.
The attack on Jicheng was about to attack, and many tired scouts couldn't help but mutter.
However, Liang Wu did not reduce his vigilance because he had no trace of Zhao army. However, he did not deliberately make anything. For Liang Wu now, the better it is, the less Zhao army is, the better it is, and it is definitely not the beginning.
He had the same idea of wanting to compete with Zhao Jun.
"Maybe Zhao's army was really gathered under Meijicheng by Zhao Xun. Judging from the general's letter, the situation in Meijicheng is critical. It seems that Zhao Xun's attack on Meijicheng is very fierce." Liang Wu looked at
Looking at the blue sky, I couldn't help but say, "The Shangdang Mansion is lost, and I don't know how the Grand Governor is preparing to deal with it. There are very few soldiers in our army in the south, and I don't know if I can resist the Zhao army's actions in the south.
The Yongzhou army responded in time, and the Grand Governor defended the southern prefectures and counties in exchange for help from the Yongzhou army. Then the Zhao army of Shangdang Mansion might be suppressed in Shangdang Mansion. Otherwise... the situation...
It's critical!" As he said that, Liang Wu couldn't help but sigh, containing all kinds of helplessness and pity...h!~!
