The night is dim, the sky is covered with dark clouds, while the original moon is covered with dark clouds in the north, hiding in the depths of the clouds and mist.
However, there are still flames in the upper and lower parts of Dingping County. Since the seventh day, the Zhao army's siege army has begun to attack the city at night. Although it has not broken through Nancheng in one fell swoop, it has been siegeing the city day and night, and the entire Nancheng walls have been
It became mottled. For this reason, the defenders did not dare to be careless. Even Cao Gang relaxed his surveillance of the Bingzhou Army a little, concentrated most of his troops at the South Gate and the East Gate, and at the same time set foot in the southeast area of the city
In the military camp, the army was transferred here to facilitate the city defense.
The entire Zhao army camp was reflected in red by red flames. The armor of soldiers coming and going rustled, bringing endless murderous aura. In addition, there were still various military orders and sounds from the military camp.
The urgent gathering of soldiers, the sound of mobilization.
"It seems that the time to break the city is tonight. The west of the city has the least guards and is also the gate of the Bingzhou army. Now, because of the sudden attack of our army in the past two days, the Bingzhou army and the Bingzhou northern army have both the Bingzhou army and the Bingzhou northern army have the opportunity to have the entire army.
Guarding the upper city. As for the western city, the Bingzhou army is the main one. Tonight is the time we agreed with the Bingzhou army. Half an hour later, our army will attack the southern city in a comprehensive attack and make a huge noise. Han Meng, you lead the three
Thousands of elite soldiers were vanguards. After the war broke out in the south city, they took advantage of the chaos inside the west gate to raid the Xicheng. Yang Hu, you, the Qin general, followed closely and entered Dingping. "In the general's tent, Zhao army was several
Tens of thousands of generals gathered together, and Zhao Xun made arrangements in a deep voice.
"Xu Yingcai, Jin Hai, Lu Feng, you three follow me and attack Nancheng. After Han Duwei and General Yang broke the city and caused chaos in the city, they immediately broke the city. Yu Qing, Huang Pengyu, and you two led 7,000 soldiers and soldiers respectively.
Responsible for the East Gate and North Gate. There are not many defenders in these two places. If you can, you can go down, and you cannot intercept the fleeing troops in the city. None of the Bingzhou Northern Army can let them escape, especially the private soldiers of the Cao family."
The Cao clan, which colluded with the Turks in the northern part of Bingzhou, would never be spared.
In addition to leaving a lot of money in the city, the Cao clan has a very poor reputation in the Bingzhou area. It can be said that the people want to eat their meat alive. Therefore, Cao Gang and Zhao Xun are not
Those who can accept it will only kill it to increase fame, so that the Zhao army can rule better, and allow more people to accept it. Zhao Xun is not the beginning, now Cao Gang and his three liang under him
Ten thousand soldiers are really not taken seriously by him.
"Everyone, the entire territory of Bingzhou fell into the hands of our army, and wars have stopped everywhere. Only this is the last place that has not yet been resolved. Therefore, I do not want any defeated troops in the city to escape from the city.
I don’t want any more bandits and bandits around me to appear in the surrounding area. Well, all the troops act according to the orders, and after half an hour, the army will take action."
"I will receive the order!" The generals answered the order in unison and then went out to prepare.
"After tonight, there will be no more battle in this Bingzhou land. In no time, this Bingzhou land will be another stable rear of our army." Wei Zilin sighed, "For several months,
The Lord defeated the Turks one after another, and the Northern Army of Bingzhou and Bingzhou Army really made the world look at each other."
Zhao Xun shook his head and said, "You just talked about the achievements we have achieved, but we have also paid a lot for this. In order to quickly win the northern part of Bingzhou, how many caravans have we installed? How many darts have we entered in it.
Teacher? If it weren't for them, we could have broken the northern part of Bingzhou at a speed of lightning? This is not my credit, but the credit of the soldiers and those who have made silent contributions to the battle of the army."
Speaking of this, Zhao Xun couldn't help but sigh. For this operation, in order to defeat the Turks who had just entered the country, and in order to defeat the Northern Army of Bingzhou at an extremely fast speed and gain a foothold in the Northern Land of Bingzhou, Zhao Xun and government affairs
The Department and the Military Affairs Department planned for it for a long time. Even money and food are consumed heavily. However, although the effort is great, the harvest is also sufficient, which is enough to make up for the things that are paid.
"By the way, some generals and officers of the Northern Army of Bingzhou also sent people to shoot letters through arrows, hoping to get the lord's acceptance, and they are willing to surrender to us. Isn't the lord accepting them yet?" Zhang Yuanjing asked slowly.
Zhao Xun said indifferently: "You and I know the meaning of those generals and schools. It is true that they are the captains of the Northern Army of Bingzhou, but they are also members of the Cao clan and the confidant of Cao Gang. In other words, this is actually Cao.
I was just begging for mercy to me. Unfortunately, if he had not colluded with the Turks and allowed the Turks to harm the people in the northern part of Bingzhou, I would have accepted them. I would not live for such a person.
The people told me that I cannot stay."
Zhang Yuanjing nodded slightly and didn't say anything more. He naturally understood Zhao Xun's words. Indeed, Zhao Xun really couldn't keep such an infamous person as Cao Gang now. Of course, Cao Gang didn't let Zhao now
Inquiry ignores the benefits that can affect the forgiveness of it.
On the southern city of Dingping, Cao Feng was covered with red blood on his coat and armor, his eyes were red, and he looked at the Zhao army camp dozens of miles away.
"Cao Feng, what's the situation?" A shout woke Cao Feng up, awakening him from his loss of consciousness.
"General! Become a Zhao army camp with bright lights. It seems that tonight is the same as the previous two nights, they will attack the city at night. Cao Feng said with a gloomy face to Cao Gang, the general of the Bingzhou Northern Army who had just arrived, and then he said angrily again
He cursed, "Damn it, I don't really fight the city, but I just harassed it constantly, making people feel at ease."
Cao Gang raised his head and glanced at the red Zhao army camp opposite, and said in a deep voice: "What? You can't stand it now? The plan of the tired army! The reason why he is unwilling to attack is not that he is unwilling to break here.
Too many people have been damaged. This place was a major city where the border troops transferred food and grass in the past. After our repairs, we wanted to break through the city and pay a lot of money. Do you think a cunning person like Zhao Xun would be willing to let himself
Are the soldiers in their hands lost in this strong attack?”
"In addition, he did not launch a strong attack from the beginning, nor was he afraid that we and the Bingzhou army would work together to defend the city. He deliberately surrounded him and did not attack, and did not attack. In order to create a disagreement between us and the Bingzhou army,
After all, our two armies were also enemies in the past. When the Zhao army was in great power, there was naturally a possibility of being persuaded to surrender by them."
"Finally... the Zhao army's actions were also on the surface. They were not very anxious to attack the city. In other words, they were putting pressure on us, telling us that they could sleep us and prevent us from sleeping.
.This is the reason why the soldiers are in peace and the Bingzhou Army has a different ambition."
"Okay, it's useless to say more. Let's continue to stick tonight. In another four or five days, after the arrangement is made, let the young children of each family hide. Our army will fight out and go to Zhao Xunyijue's life and death, which can be regarded as leaving a little for the clan.
Seeds." Cao Gang said in a low voice. Seeing that surrendering failed, Cao Gang naturally stopped thinking about it. Besides, even if he could surrender, he would take some preparations. After all, he made too much mistakes and the clan
The strength was destroyed, but all the clan members were here. If one is not good, they would be caught in one go. Therefore, Cao Gang also began to dig the tunnel to become after the General's Mansion, and was ready to attack the army after the dig, and let Zhao run out after the dig.
Jun no longer paid attention to the authentic entry and exit of this tunnel.
..............
"Dong...dong...dong..."
Half an hour later, the Zhao army began to act again. With the sound of snare drums all day long and under the illumination of countless torches, one by one, the infantry and military formations began to approach the city, and various instruments began to be in the sergeant's.
Under the promotion and transportation, approach the city.
"Prepare... Prepare... Zhao army is coming... Zhao army is attacking!" After being urged by Zhao army's military rules, the soldiers guarding the city suddenly exclaimed in horror.
"Bastard! Why are you panic? Silence me... All departments are ready to defend! Tonight, I will supervise the battle myself, where is the personal guard? Today you are the supervising team. During the battle, you dare to escape without respecting the military order.
Those who say that they fail or surrender to the enemy will be killed without any hesitation!" Seeing the panicked soldiers, Cao Gang's face became ferocious.
"General, some of them are also young and strong men who guard the city, so..." Cao Feng quickly explained when he saw Cao Gang's face remained unchanged.
Cao Gang's face was a little better, and he also knew that because he had to guard the city day and night, the defenders were insufficient. Therefore, Cao Gang came down and let many young and strong soldiers directly join the soldiers to fight with the army. Therefore, every time he started
At that time, many young and strong people would panic and lose their composure.
Zhao Xun was in charge of the central army, and all the generals and generals with missions led their troops to leave the rear camp. At this moment, no one would pay attention to the rear camp. Of course, the dark rear camp was not the enemy on the city wall.
The arrival.
Zhao Xun invested a total of 20,000 troops in this siege. It can be said that it was the largest number of troops deployed in the past ten days. Nothing else, Zhao Xun hopes that Cao Gang can control the soldiers in the city and the remaining four gates of the army.
All were drawn to facilitate their actions.
While the Zhao army was attacking, the Bingzhou army, which had already moved the camp to the northwest, quietly sent dozens of patrols to Ximenduo and slowly approached Ximen.
Outside the southern city, the Zhao army approached the city wall neatly and orderly. In front were infantry holding shields. They held the shield high above their heads and protected themselves. In the huge clouds, clouds formed by their shields.
Below is a pair of soldiers holding ladders moving forward. Behind the infantry are archers with up to three thousand archers and two thousand crossbowmen, preparing to shoot against the defenders who are defending the city, and then backwards are
Dozens of rushing vehicles. The so-called rushing vehicle is a large chariot made of wood. It can be as high as dozens of meters or as high as the city wall. It is divided into three to five layers, and each layer can hold hundreds of elite soldiers.
The wooden frame of the rusher is protected by thick leather, so you are not afraid of rockets. Some rushers also have large mechanical wood inside, which is used to impact and destroy the city gate or city wall. Once the city wall gate is broken, the elite soldiers hidden in the rusher will be
He immediately rushed out of the van, held a spear and entered the city, which was really a weapon for siege.
"Fortunately, we have made plans to surrender to the Zhao army. The Zhao army's military power is indeed extraordinary. Alas... Cao Gang, the Northern Army of Bingzhou... I'm afraid it's over!" Yang Xing, the head general of the Bingzhou army, who was assisting in defense, looked at
The Zhao army formation that was stomping the ground, couldn't help but sigh in secret.
"Does Zhao Xun want to attack fiercely tonight? No, even if it is a strong attack, it should be during the day? Besides, why did they suddenly make up their minds to attack fiercely?" Looking at Zhao Jun approaching step by step, his face was extremely gloomy
Cao Gang suddenly yelled: "Shoot the arrow! Shoot the arrow! Shoot them to death!"
Without Cao Gang's instructions, the soldiers on the city wall had already begun to fight back. In an instant, a rain of arrows poured out like locusts and shot up and down. Although the defenders could use the height advantage of the city to start attacking the army that attacked the city.
Carrying a long-range attack, however, the defenders' counterattack strength was far less powerful than the Zhao army. Although the Zhao army's tentative attacks several days made the defenders get a lot of arrows. However, the defenders' bows and crossbows
There are not many. In other words, they live here and cannot receive effective supplements. After all, the loss of weapons and armor equipment is also very large in the war.
Compared with the defenders, the Zhao army, which is rich and powerful, is different. It has excellent weapons and equipment and is not worried about quantity issues. You must know that the Zhao army's logistics team is very strict.
For a moment, the air was filled with the sound of eagle-feathered arrows cutting through the air. The long arrows drew many arcs in the air, either high or low. Many arrows collided in the shooting back and forth, and finally landed on the ground.
However, Zhao Jun gained an advantage with the sharpness of his own weapons and the high morale of his soldiers. Not only that, Zhao Jun also used his shield to resist the long arrows falling from the sky and accelerated his feet.
"I have been defending the city for several days, and the defenders are exhausted. I guess they are afraid they have not been able to rest well recently." Wei Zilin couldn't help but smile and said with a smile.
Zhang Yuanjing looked at the battlefield in the distance and said in a deep voice: "Logistics is very important to war. If our army and the defenders change their identities, they would not be able to get close to the city a hundred meters. Just our army's crossbowmen,
It's enough to give the siege team a pot."
Suddenly, Cao Gang, who was guarding the city, let out a loud roar. Among the defenders, teams of shield players appeared beside the city wall, guarding the archers on the city wall, allowing them to shoot arrows and attack, and at the same time, using the shield player to block.
Keep the arrows shot from the crowd.
"Cao Gang still has some ability, but it's a pity that he is just trapped in this city now, and he can be said to be in a turtle in the jar. No matter how capable he is, he can't imagine it." Zhang Yuanjing, who was watching the situation with a monocular telescope, sighed again.
Then, then
"Come here, give the order to the camp in the city to ask them to come and support the defending city immediately. Damn, the Zhao army is afraid that it will turn into a raid and attack. If this continues, if they break through, they will definitely
Cao Feng, go..." Cao Gang looked at Cheng Wai's situation and ordered in a deep voice.
I saw the Zhao army outside the city, their infantry successfully arrived at the city with the help of the suppression of their arrow rain just now. The infantry hidden behind the shield and holding the ladder appeared under the city. They trained to erect the ladder, and then accurately
The ladder tilted towards the city head, and the ladders hit the thick walls of Dingping City and laid on the city head of Dingping City. Countless infantry began to climb. At the same time, in order to cooperate with the infantry's siege of the Zhao army, the archers of the Zhao army began to fight desperately.
Shoot at the top of the city, hoping to suppress the defensive army's damage to the siege soldiers.
At this time, the defenders had no choice but to avoid it. If they choose to hide and give in, once Zhao's army kills them on the city wall and creates a gap, everything will be over. Cao Gang knows very well that once the Zhao army breaks the city head, it will be fine.
With the morale and ability of the defenders, I am afraid they can't suppress them at all. Besides, now, the Zhao army sieges have more troops than the defenders.
Therefore, Cao Gang asked Cao Feng to go to the military camp to send troops to prepare for a full-scale war. At the same time, he asked the defenders to continue shooting with the Zhao army's archers, and on the other hand, they began to launch their troops under the city.
Roll the wood and beat the stones, and pour it down with a pot of boiling water and oil from a wok...
"retreat……"
When the Zhao army officer saw the actions on the city wall, he immediately asked the siege soldiers to retreat a little. Although many soldiers were scalded to death by boiling oil in wastewater, the casualties were not high. Not only that, the Zhao army also tilted the defenders on the city.
While boiling water and oil, take advantage of the situation and use arrow rain to raid.
For a moment, the entire southern gate shouted, wailed, and screamed endlessly. The losses of the defenders and the Zhao army began to gradually increase. Not long after, reinforcements from the Bingzhou army and the Bingzhou Northern Army arrived.
, and concentrated on using the catapults in the city to smash most of the vans, so that the moat became a gap between offense and defense again, causing the Zhao army to withdraw from the moat. However, the defenders also used more than 20 catapults in their hands.
All the cars were destroyed by Zhao Jun's catapults.
"Where is your general? Didn't this general send an order? Did you ask your general to lead the army to help? Why is there no trace?" Zhao's army retreated a little, and Cao Gang sternly asked the main general of the Bingzhou army reinforcements.
"Report to the general, the traces of Zhao army appeared outside the four cities in the east, west and north. Our general dared not be careless and had personally checked the situation. Now, the defenders of Xicheng and Beicheng are weak, so our general dared not be careless.
Therefore, the young leader came. After all, with General Cao in charge of this place, he must be safe and sound." General Wu Benlang of the Bingzhou Army explained urgently, even Yang Xing, the deputy general of the Bingzhou Army who had been working in the south city, hurriedly persuaded him.
Then Cao Gang received information from the other soldiers under his command, and in the other three, the traces of Zhao army appeared. Seeing this, Cao Gang did not continue to say anything to Yang Li Future.
Although Cao Gang started to attack Yang Li slowly a few days ago, he had not expected that Yang Li had surrendered to the Zhao army, and he did not expect that when the Zhao army siege became more and more intense, it was Bingzhou army who turned against each other.
However, it was at this time that Yang Li had already started to take action in the middle of the night.
