"General, we can't continue. So far, our army has lost nearly 40,000. If we continue like this, 130,000 soldiers are not enough for the Zhao army to kill in three days!"
Looking at the continuous rain of arrows and crossbows, the commanders of the ten thousand men from various tribes hurriedly dissuaded: "General, even if we fill out the passage for the army to go up to the city, we have no soldiers to provide for us.
Siege the city."
"Yes, why not stop the attack and wait for the report to the rear and let the rear prepare for the siege ladder, are you planning?"
"Hateful! Hateful! Withdrawal!" After being dissuaded by all the ten thousand men, Geely finally woke up a little. Looking at the dead warriors all over the ground and looking at the moat stained with blood, Geely was so angry that she was itchy.
With Jili's order, tens of thousands of siege soldiers immediately scattered. In this case, the soldiers of various units would have long been reluctant to continue. If the military orders were not strict, these soldiers would have dispersed long ago.
On the city wall, watching the Turkic army withdraw, the soldiers raised their arms and shouted. The soldiers and guards of the three ministries all turned pale. They were frightened by the scene in front of them. They believed that if they had not attached to Zhao
Army, then, the corpses under the city are likely to be part of them.
…………
In the Lan Capital, whether it was the Zhao army soldiers, the three warriors, or the Lan Capital tribe members, they were cheering for this victory. After all, tens of thousands of troops were attacking, which was enough to make it difficult for everyone to go day and night.
An. Now, winning in one battle has given these people and soldiers confidence.
The officers and generals of the Zhao army cheered for this. Many generals and generals of the Zhao army bluntly expressed their disdain for the Turkic army. The scattered generals and commanders were different from those of the Zhao army officers. They were happy, but more of them were
It is fear of the Zhao army and fear and respect for the King of Zhao.
The combat power displayed by the Zhao army in this battle was not obvious. After all, the two sides had not yet met in close combat. However, the weapons and armor displayed by the Zhao army in this battle were enough to make the three warriors frightened. Especially in the Zhao army, there was
After the city is solid, the effects brought by these weapons will be difficult to explain.
The three generals and the commander of the three ministries knew more clearly that there was a more sharp weapon among the Zhao army. The Zhao army called it the thunder of the sky, and this weapon was even more lethal. If this weapon was added, the Turks would be like this.
How can you fight against it?
"The enemy retreated, but this is just a temporary retreat, and it does not mean that the Turkic army will stop. Our army has a total of more than 90,000 soldiers, of which 20,000 soldiers are responsible for the army's logistics, food, grass, and armor and equipment, and travels to and from Xiazhou.
Between the Lan Capital, there were 20,000 cavalry wandering on the side, inspecting the enemy situation of six or seven hundred miles from left to right."
"Therefore, the soldiers stationed in Landu City and the three acropolis were only more than 50,000. However, more than 100,000 enemy troops still appeared. Further north, the Turks had an army of 300,000 to 400,000 troops that could move south at any time.
Here. Therefore, all the generals should not be careless and should not be forgotten because of temporary victory." In the general's mansion, Zhao Xun glanced lightly at all the excited generals and said in a deep voice, giving everyone some warnings.
Finally, Zhao Xun highly praised the contributions of the soldiers in this battle.
Zhang Yuanjing also said, "Everyone, although we have a strong city to defend here, and although we have brothers from the Fourth Army among the Eight Guards in the area thousands of miles away in the east, threatening the side of the Turkic army. However,
If the Turkic army fought to the death, we also needed to hold on here for about ten days. Then, this may be the test of our life and death. Therefore, today's victory is just a small prelude to this battle."
"This time, the Turkic army has no ladder and cannot form a certain countermeasure against us. From the beginning, it has been under our full suppression. However, from today on, it will be impossible to be so easy again.
”
"So, not only can you not forget yourself because of today's great victory, but you should speed up your preparations!"
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Intensify the defense and send people to clean up the soil filled with the enemy troops outside the city."
In order not to make the soldiers under his command proud and complacent, Zhao Xun sternly scolded him. The former Turkic army commander outside the city was as big as a fight, and he was so angry that he couldn't bear it.
"General, now we need to prepare siege equipment. Only after we have siege equipment can we continue to siege the city. Otherwise, the losses will be immeasurable, and it may not cause damage to the Zhao army, and it will only end up losing.
The strength of our army.”
"Yes, general! We can't continue to attack like this now. If we continue like this, we are afraid that we can fight all of us, and we are afraid that we can't take down Landu City."
Among the commander's tent, all the ten thousand men were dissuading each other. But for Geely, these dissuasions seemed to be a satire to himself.
Jili's face was gloomy and said coldly: "Enough! The Han military strategy is full of things. If you want to surround it, if you want to attack it, if you want to fight it, if you want to fight it, if you want to divide it, if you want to escape it, if you want to avoid it, if you want to avoid it.
.Now, the enemy troops opposite us are only about 50,000, and we have to guard the four cities. And what about us? We have 130,000 people, even now, we still have 100,000 people. We are the generals of the opponent.
Double the troops are five times that of Landu City. Can't we do anything to Zhao's army with such an advantage?"
Then Geely glanced at everyone coldly and said gloomyly: "Do you forget the hatred between Zhao Jun and us on the other side? Forgot what is our gathering here for? Or do you not let the big sweat go at all
In my heart, don’t take my commander’s military order seriously? Huh?"
When Jili's words became colder, all the ten thousand men in the commander's tent changed color. What was the fate of Jingwu of the Moran tribe? They all saw with their own eyes. They didn't think they could ignore the commander's military order. Xue
Not everyone can ignore Khan. What’s important is that among the remaining 100,000 soldiers, 15,000 elite cavalry were the members of Geely.
That's why the last time the striker was killed 15,000, and this time he lost 30,000 people, but everyone dared not ignore this coach. Of course, Geely was the coach personally named by Xue Nai Khan.
It is also an important reason.
"General, of course we are not ignoring the general's military orders, but we need to be prepared for action again. At least, we must have a shield. With the shield, we can reach the endless arrows above the Blue Capital City.
Rain. Then, we need a ladder for the army to climb the city. In this way, our army will surely attack the city faster and the losses will be smaller." Wu Tu, the commander of the ten thousand men, explained urgently.
Geely frowned and said, "Shield? My Turkic Army is not good at building it at all. What's more, we don't have shields to use."
Wu Tu said in a deep voice: "General, the subordinate means we use wooden shields. We only need to cut down trees from the northwest of Liangzhou to be used as raw materials, making them simple and fast. In addition, our departments have stockpiled a large amount of fur. We can completely make them homemade.
A skin shield is used to defend the enemy's arrows. Even a head-on confrontation, it is very different with a shield. For our army, this is a very meaningful thing."
"But, this wooden shield is not enough to resist the crossbow arrows on the city wall. You are not sure how powerful the crossbow arrows on the city wall are. Not to mention a wooden shield, even an iron shield is difficult to resist." When Geely heard this,
I was suddenly impatient. Why? This wooden shield also takes time and cannot be used locally, so I need to send troops to send orders to make it. For him who was in a hurry to take down Landu City, it was a bit unbearable. Therefore, he was so proud of himself.
Because of this, the other generals did not agree with Jili's words.
Wu Tu smiled and said, "That's right, general, everyone, even so, when we attacked the city, the most casualties brought to us was the rain of arrows like black clouds when we approached the city wall, not
The powerful crossbow arrows. You know, these crossbow arrows are powerful. However, the firing rate is extremely slow. As long as we open the moat passage, the threat of these crossbow arrows is not great, but the arrows are more dangerous."
"With the shield, the casualties of the soldiers will be greatly reduced. Even if there is no ladder, it will be much more convenient to fill the moat and siege passage. Furthermore, when making wooden shields, simple ladders will be created together.
, why not give it a try?”
Wanfu Changshigan also said: "General, my subordinates agree with Lord Wutu's meaning. This time, the casualties are so great that even if we attack again, it will not be much better. Why don't we wait for some time and make preparations?
What about siege again?"
Geely felt secretly regretful, and more regretful. She had heard about the return from the horses that day, and the Landu Tribe built a city. However, the city she had returned at the beginning was made of wooden boards and walls. Therefore, he didn't care, thinking that it was just a suggestion.
The village wall. Who would have thought that the wooden boards on the outside now turned out to be a strong city inside?
"Okay, the army is temporarily rested and prepare for the siege immediately!"
…………
"The waste is simply a bucket!" Xue Nai Khan cursed in anger, "I knew that the other party built a city, but did not make any preparations, and he kept attacking the death. He didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, but he thought that the Zhao army and the past
Like Yan Jun? Idiot, King Zhao appeared in the Blue Capital himself. Will this Blue Capital be so simple?"
General Zuo Mo Huba said in a deep voice: "This auspicious is indeed too careless, but it has become like this now. Besides, it is too late. Besides, aren't the ones who sacrificed their lives? "
"Now there are not many Zhao troops in Landu City, but King Zhao appears there. If we can capture here, capture King Zhao alive or kill King Zhao, it will be different for the Khan's next great cause.
General function. Since the Geely troops want to continue attacking, why should Khan stop it?"
Xue Nai said coldly: "Ben Khan is not trying to stop him, but is angry about his stupid behavior. What Ben Khan is afraid of is that all tens of thousands of soldiers were killed, so he would not be able to take down King Zhao. OK
Since Geely wants leather shields, wooden shields and cloud ladders, let the tribes in the west prepare. Forget it, we still have many leather shields here, so we can transfer them to Geely for use first."
General Zuo Mo Huba said: "Khan, for Landu City, my subordinates also speculate that it may be difficult to achieve success by relying on good luck alone. Since that is the case, why not pay close attention to the battle in Landu City? If the situation is favorable, we will use the fastest
Go south quickly, take down King Zhao and Lan Capital, and create a gap here."
"The King of Zhao was taken down by our army, so we will never have any obstacles to our journey south!" As he said that, a look of excitement flashed in Mo Huba's eyes.
"It's so good! Let's send people to pay close attention to the frontline war. In addition, let the headquarters camp move forward for a hundred miles. In addition, pay close attention to the situation in the eastern region north of Bingzhou."
After a pause, Xue Nai said again: "King Zhao is now in Landu City, and only tens of thousands of Zhao troops in the northern part of Bingzhou can send troops to assist in time. Therefore, we cannot ignore them. In addition, if we want to launch a sudden attack on Landu City,
, then we must beware that the Zhao army in Bingzhou will attack our side."
Mo Huba nodded and said, "Don't worry, my subordinates will make proper arrangements."
…………
"Everyone, this is the military order issued by the Khan who had just been sent back. The opposite Lan Capital City does not have much military strength, and King Zhao is in the Lan Capital City, so this time we will break Lan Capital City in one fell swoop. Within the main camp,
A large number of shields are coming. What we need is coming soon, so we must succeed this time." Under Landu City, in the Turkic camp, Geely showed the generals the newly obtained military orders.
All the generals should have, with the Khan military order, although they were a little reluctant, they did not dare to object. All the troops began to prepare for a new round of siege.
The Zhao army and the Turkic army fought with the north, and Situ Fei, the governor of Liangzhou in Yizhou, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the appearance of King Zhao in Bingzhou was an extremely dangerous situation for Yongzhou and Liangzhou.
.Now that Zhao Xun has fought with the Turkic army, both of them are much more relieved.
The situation of King Murong Cheng of Qi is still very bad, but compared to before, the situation in Yangzhou is still much better. At least, the situation in Yangzhou is developing towards its favorable side.
Although it occupied the four eastern prefectures of Yangzhou, as time passed, the Qi army, which was once the lord of Yangzhou and had a deep foundation in Yangzhou, finally began to make efforts.
There were countless people in the four prefectures occupied by Li Chi, and there were countless people who were in trouble. In the eastern part of Xuzhou and the eastern part of the occupied four prefectures, the Qi navy went back and forth, and no one could defeat them.
Although Li Chi got a lot of ships from Yangzhou and also collected a lot of water bandits. However, they were all inland fleets and could not deal with the attacks of sea ships. In particular, the Qi Navy still had a solid foundation.
The standard navy is far from comparable to some water bandits.
Now Li Chi regrets it very much. He regrets not being able to join the Yanzhou Army. According to the original agreement, he trapped the Qi army to death at the junction of Xuzhou and Yuzhou. At least he should have greatly weakened the Qi army. If he did that,
It's not going to be in a dilemma now.
For Li Chi, he occupied the four prefectures from Yangzhou, but he could not completely stabilize it. However, he lost the Huaiyin Prefecture in the western part of Xuzhou, Pengcheng and Haizhou Prefectures in the north, and the three prefectures in the total area.
.One mansion was occupied by the Yanzhou army, and the two mansions now become the territory of the Zhao army.
In terms of strength, it is possible to regain the territory of becoming the Yanzhou army, but there is naturally no hope for becoming the territory of the Zhao army. But in fact, it is impossible for him to regain the territory of the Yanzhou army or the Zhao army.
.Nothing else, because in these places, the new policies similar to the Zhao army and the Zhao army were implemented, which was extremely beneficial to the people. It can be said that the other party has already won the hearts of the people here.
In addition, the two prefectures occupied by the Tang army in the past were once his target, but now they all fell into the hands of the Yanzhou army. Originally, he wanted the Yanzhou army to fight with the Qi army, but now he has become his own
Fighting with the Qi army, while the Yanzhou army and the Tang army in the west took advantage of it. Li Chi could only swallow the bitter fruit.
Although the Tang army did not confront the Qi army head-on, it did not mean that everything went smoothly. When the Tang army first attacked the northern part of Jingzhou, it was invincible and smooth sailing. It was also because of this that Tang Xian would trade with the Yanzhou army,
The northern region exchanges the materials needed to establish itself in Jingzhou.
But immediately afterwards, the Tang army attacked southern Jingzhou without being so smooth. First, it was because the Han River and Xiangjiang River were blocked, and Jingzhou had a naval army, but the Tang army did not. Second, the Qi army successfully returned and the Qi King Murong Cheng was safe.
Nothing happened, which made the southern part of Jingzhou feel confident to fight with the Tang army. After all, compared with the Tang army, the Qi army has a great power and has been operating in Jingzhou for a long time.
Tang Xian was not discouraged. The supplies exchanged from the Yanzhou army quickly stabilized the northern part of Jingzhou, making Jingbei a stable rear. The sufficient weapons and equipment also made the Tang army begin to gain the upper hand to a certain extent.
The army in Jingnan, on the contrary, was surrounded by enemies on all sides of Qi, which caused internal bandits to occur, making it difficult to arrive in time. After two months of hard work, the Tang army finally captured Xiangyang and captured an extremely important city in southern Jingzhou. Here,
, and he harvested a lot of materials. For Tang Xian, taking over Xiangyang means that he will occupy the entire Jingzhou area and make further progress.
The offensives of the Xuzhou Army and the Tang Army were not going well, while the Yanzhou Army stopped the attack and made every effort to stabilize the local area. The rectification in Yuzhou in the first place massacred tens of thousands of large clans and related people. It can be said that to a certain extent,
The Yanzhou army can almost be compared with the butchers. However, the Yanzhou army did not care. Instead, it continued to implement the new policy, with good intentions on one hand and butcher knives on the other hand, allowing the Yuzhou army to choose.
The other princes were not going well, and the same was true for the Yong army. Although Situ Lei personally took charge, it was not smooth sailing. The north was blocked by the Qi army's navy, and in the south, especially in the southernmost Jiaozhou, the Yong army was even more
In Jiaozhou, for some reason, countless mountain tribes and bandits began to attack the Yong army to obtain the weapons and equipment and supplies brought by the weapons, making it difficult for the Yong army to advance. And the steep and dangerous Jiaozhou
The terrain is also a key to hindering the Yong army's actions.
However, no matter what, the Yong army has begun to advance step by step, which is an unchangeable fact. For Qi Di, Situ Lei always wanted to take it from Murong Cheng. Now with the opportunity, how could Situ Lei give up?
After learning that the Zhao army and the Turkic army were fighting, they immediately shifted their focus to the southern battlefield.
