Beneath the beautiful Jicheng, the Zhao army's central army commander's tent.
"Report... Report to the Lord, General Qin came to report that the reinforcements of Pingding and Guangyan have been defeated and captured by our army. Guangyan, Pingding has been taken down by our army. Tomorrow evening, General Qin will return with the guise of Bingzhou reinforcements.
.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Very good, I'll send an order to General Qin. Tomorrow afternoon, follow the scheduled plan. This beautiful Jicheng will be replaced with the Flame Qilin Flag tomorrow night."
Zhao Xun was relieved to learn that Pingding and Guangyan were defeated and the Bingzhou army in both places was completely wiped out. In this way, not only will Meijicheng be isolated and helpless, but the 50,000 Bingzhou army and Bingzhou army in Dingping, North Gate
The Northern Army will be in the jar. Now, even if the 50,000 soldiers from Dingping combined together and retreated south to outside Meiji City, Zhao Xun was not worried. Before this, Zhao Xun had let the cavalry
The team was dressed as a little more, and wandered back and forth in Dingping, threatening Dingping's 50,000 soldiers, forcing him not to go out lightly. These put a lot of pressure on Zhao Xun, for fear that he would retreat south to Meiji City.
.
"Notify Han Xuwen, and send civil servants to the two places to take over government affairs, implement new policies, and appease the people. Order a team of personal guards to bring 3,000 new recruits to settle in the two places, take over local public security, establish county soldiers, township inspection departments and other places.
Public Security Office.” Zhao Xun then ordered three times.
"Transfer to Xue Qinglan's troops, and the army continued to move south, aiming to conquer the entire Jinzhou Prefecture, and achieve connection with Shangdang Prefecture. Wei Dong sent a command to Li Huaiyuan to advance northwest and attack Taiyuan Prefecture. In addition,
, garrisoning the Yong army from Yongzhou. Although the two sides are discussing peace talks, it does not mean that Situ Lei will not take any action, so he will be careful."
Immediately, Zhao Xun said to Yang Hu, the general of the town army: "I ordered the three armies to continue to rest and recuperate today. Tomorrow morning, we will continue to attack the city. Tomorrow night, we will spend the night in Meijicheng! General Yang Hu, although he is resting today, he must also
Notify soldiers from all sides to be careful and be more vigilant, and raid out of the city in Meiji City.”
Yang Hu said in a deep voice: "The last general will take the order!"
"Well! So, the east, south and north are coming out together, and this Bingzhou land should be solved quickly. The most urgent task is to persuade Situ Tai from Bingzhou to hand over it to the Bingzhou land, and let him return to Luoyang and Situ Lei's
It is better for other sons to fight for power. Murong Cheng, you are the next target. As for the north, the Turks cannot ignore it. It seems that they should find a way to win over several tribes as watchdogs in the north." Looking at the table
Zhao Xun was in a good mood on the map and said in his heart.
Meijicheng, Pingding and Guangyan were conquered, and the Bingzhou army soldiers in Xihe Prefecture were basically all solved. Of course, the north was outside the 50,000 people surrounded by the Zhao army. Then, Xihe
The place of the mansion is no longer threatening. After this Meijicheng was conquered, the army went down to the entire Xihe Mansion every once in a while.
On the second day, the eighth day of Zhao Xun's fierce attack on Meijicheng, the Zhao army, who had been resting for two days, began to attack again. At this moment, the northern wall of Meijicheng is no longer the scene of the heavy city in the north of Xihe Prefecture in the past. The entire northern wall can
Talking about it, the female walls above the city walls were almost completely wiped out. Under the influence of the catapult, almost all the female walls were half-pieced. Even though the Meiji City guard Shi Lin restored the restoration back and forth,
But it could not stop the Zhao army's fierce attack.
Fortunately, perhaps it was Zhao Jun's infantryman who had the stone bullet. The attack on the last few days of the stone casting car was no longer as good as before. The defenders under Shi Lin had only less than 15,000, and there were 5,000 of them.
The county soldiers and township tyrants were incorporated. In addition, Shi Lin also recruited 30,000 young and strong people from Meijicheng, and only half of them were saved.
In addition, in the past few days, especially in recent days, Shi Lin, the garrison of Meijicheng, raided twice at night. Unfortunately, he was unable to do anything to Zhao's army, but instead suffered losses.
"Swish swish swish swish..." Arrows flew across his head, and Shi Lin and the generals beside him were helplessly hiding behind some slightly intact female walls. Of course, there was a huge shield in front of them. It was slightly more powerful than the fierce attack a few days ago
OK, today's Zhao Jun did not continue to use the catapult cart, but the other party's crossbow did not stop at all.
"Damn it, where did the Zhao army get so many arrow clusters and crossbows?" A general reached out and pulled out the arrow clusters flying from his arm, and said with a hatred.
"The reinforcements to Pingding and Guangyan should be coming soon. If this continues, let alone whether they can block the Zhao army, even the food and grass needed by the army is also a big problem." The side general Ge Yangzhang frowned.
"It should be soon!" Shi Lin said slowly after a while. But in his tone, he was not sure. I hope there will be no problem between the two places. Perhaps, I shouldn't let the two places bring food and grass to support. Suddenly,
Shi Lin began to worry about reinforcements from both places.
"Oh, if General Yang Li and Cao Gang's army in the north could organize and work together to move south and retreat here, how could the Zhao army forcibly siege us? Even if Zhao Xun comes in person, there would not be any current one.
The situation.” Ge Yangzhang said in a muffled voice.
Shi Lin didn't say much, and he knew about Ge Yangzhang's anger. It was precisely because of the 50,000 troops in the north that the defenders of Meijicheng were trapped here and did not dare to evacuate easily. In addition, the food and grass of Meijicheng
The materials were taken away by Yang Li to the north to support Cao Gang. If Yang Li had not been to the north, Shi Lin could have abandoned the city and left, and marched south to peacefully settle the army, gathered together in Guangyan.
.
What made them even more annoyed was that the more than 20,000 Bingzhou Army under Yang Li's army and the more than 20,000 Bingzhou Northern Army under Cao Gang's army did not get along well in Dingping. This was why the two of them were unable to suffer.
Make up your mind and go south earlier.
"General, the Zhao army infantry is here!" The side general interrupted Shi Lin's thoughts.
"Arrower is ready, fight back! Roll the wood with stones, prepare!" Looking at Zhao Jun getting closer and closer outside the city, Shi Lin shouted loudly.
In an instant, inside and outside the city wall, arrows flew everywhere, screaming and blood splattering, entering a fierce offensive and defensive battle.
After several days of fierce attack, the Zhao army infantry, composed of surrendered soldiers outside the city, was also trained to become soldiers in the Zhao army town at the cost of five or six thousand casualties. These soldiers,
Some of them will be added to each town, and the remaining ones will be organized together with the personal guards and all eight capitals to form the Eighth Army of the Imperial Guards. This is also Zhao Xun's original plan. The town army will be used to conquer the troops in various places, while the Imperial Guards will be used to
The elite troops directly under his command. All the troops in the town will return to the imperial guards for training every year. All officers with a team leader must be on the imperial guards for half a year and study in the Military Preparation Academy for half a year before they can be promoted.
Of course, this is also a preliminary idea, and Zhao Xun will start to implement it step by step.
As time went by, the battle on the city wall began to become fierce. The Zhao army attacked the city many times, but they were all repelled by Shi Lin. Because of the fierce resistance of the defenders of the Meijicheng City, the Zhao army was very
It is difficult to gain a foothold on the city wall and support subsequent soldiers to climb the city.
"Master, General Qin has led 15,000 soldiers to arrive. They will come as reinforcements from the pacified land. Should they start to act now?" Han Meng reported in a deep voice.
Zhao Xun shook his head and said, "Let our soldiers attack for half an hour. After half an hour, the defenders and us in Meijicheng will be exhausted, and at this time their reinforcements can suddenly attack and break through ours.
The rear camp rushed into Meijicheng. The defenders of Meijicheng also hoped to receive support from reinforcements at this time, and their caution would also drop to the trough. This time, they went to Meijicheng in one battle."
Han Meng nodded and said, "I will go and reply to General Qin's messenger!"
Half an hour later, the Zhao army once again attacked the city, which immediately made the guards of Meijicheng City respond quickly. This time, the Zhao army acted very quickly and actually gained a place on the city wall.
"Kill me! You must kill them, kill them!" Shi Lin roared like crazy as he was covered in blood.
At this moment, a personal guard grabbed him and said anxiously: "General... General, look, look at the rear of the Zhao army outside the city, reinforcements, our reinforcements arrived."
Shi Lin's face was covered with blood and looked up. The Zhao army formation outside the city was relieved to the left side. A riot began to spread all over the place. A big flag rushed in from outside and led the Zhao army camp.
It started to get messy.
"It's Liang Wu who has pacified! In addition, only he has five thousand cavalry in his hands. Well, that's right, that man is indeed Liang Wu. Get ready, open the city gate, and welcome them in." Shi Lin said in a deep voice.
"Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived. Kill these Zhao army thieves!" Slin immediately yelled. In an instant, the morale of the defenders on the city walls was greatly boosted, and the Zhao army was forced down again.
As Zhao Xun looked at the left position of the riot, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Let the soldiers siege ahead slow down a little, and prepare to enter the city directly. Rule the cavalry units of the personal guards, and then,
The reinforcements from Meijicheng rushed in together.”
On the city wall, after watching Zhao Jun retreat due to chaos in the rear, he immediately went down the city tower and prepared to welcome Liang Wu who was rescued. Although Liang Wu wanted to obey his orders, the positions of the two were the same.
Liang Wu came to help, and it was natural for him to greet him.
"Crack..." The north gate of Meijicheng was opened.
"General Liang, you finally..." He opened the city gate and was not someone else, but Shi Lin. Unfortunately, as soon as he approached Liang Wu, Liang Wu's personal guard put the long knife in his hand on his neck.
superior.
"Come on, take it down for me!" Ye Xi, the commander who pretended to be a personal guard, said coldly.
"Liang Wu... Are you..." Shi Lin asked furiously as he looked at the soldiers who were tied up by him and the personal guards who were constantly being shot.
"General Liang Wu has surrendered to our Zhao army. My Lord has accepted this beautiful Jicheng." Ye Xi coldly answered Shi Lin's inquiry. Liang Wu was full of shame and said nothing.
"Brothers, change the flag and kill it for me!" Ye Xi roared and rushed forward. The flag bearer even replaced Liang Wu's pacification flag with the Flame Kirin flag and rushed into the city gate.
"General Liang Wu, I think you are unwilling to attack the robes of the past. This is how you take care of the beautiful Jicheng guards. You will also talk about the front and back of the matter. Our Lord attaches importance to those who are capable.
.” A sap commander said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you Lord Duwei!" Seeing this, Liang Wu also breathed a sigh of relief and led Shi Lin and the remaining dozen generals and prisoners to the side.
"The Zhao army has entered the city...The Zhao army has entered the city..."
"The city is broken..."
"The general was captured by the Zhao army, and General Liang Wu surrendered to the Zhao army..."
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
In an instant, various slogans spread from the North City Gate and spread around.
