Without the cover of the well fence, it would be difficult for the siege troops to suppress the defenders on dangerous passes like Yanmen.
On the contrary, the defenders on the city could slaughter the siege troops unscrupulously!
When the Bingzhou army put the ladder against the city wall of Yanmen Pass, the defenders finally used their most lethal weapons to defend the city, namely, cannon fire, rolling logs and rocks!
Although the ladder is complicated in workmanship and has many layers, it is still a pure wooden product. Once it is attacked by fire, it will still be unlucky!
When the defenders who had closed the Yanmen gate lit the logs sprinkled with kerosene and threw them onto the ladders outside the gate, the Bingzhou troops who were attacking the city were completely plunged into dire straits.
There is a sea of fire blocking the way, and there are also cold arrows constantly fired by the Yuan army at the top of the city. If you rush forward, you will definitely die!
But if he retreats, with Liu Wuzhou's cruel personality, he will definitely not bypass himself and others. If he fails, his family will be harmed!
Seriously, it’s a dilemma!
Just when these Bingzhou cannon fodder soldiers were unable to advance or retreat, Liu Wuzhou from the rear had also noticed the situation in front.
In this regard, Liu Wuzhou had only one way, and that was to kill!
Those who retreat will be killed! Those who hesitate and those who move forward will be killed! Those who are defeated will be killed!
Anyway, anyone who doesn't agree with Liu Wuzhou will be beheaded! Moreover, Liu Wuzhou also said that not only will these big-headed soldiers be killed, but when they return to Bingzhou in the future, they will also find the families of these big-headed soldiers to have a happy ending.
account!
Liu Wuzhou's cruelty was famous not only in Bingzhou, but also in the Tang Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty!
If Liu Wu Zhou said he wanted to chop off someone's head, then absolutely no one would doubt whether that person would live to see the sun the next day!
Now that they heard that Liu Wuzhou had issued a beheading order, although these Bingzhou troops were unwilling to do so, they finally had to cheer up and launch a final desperate charge.
It's a pity that although these Bingzhou soldiers were brave and spirited, they did not have much impact on the battle situation.
About an hour later, nearly 30,000 more corpses appeared at Yanmen Pass. Moreover, they were all charred corpses that had been completely burned by the war and were so dark that even their heads and faces could not be distinguished.
As for the ladders that Du Bi Khan worked so hard to build, nearly 300 of them were damaged in this siege. This is because the space available for siege at Yanmen Pass is too small, and it can only accommodate at most one time.
Just two to three hundred ladders!
Duo Bi still had more than 1,700 ladders on hand, but at this time, Duo Bi didn't know what to do!
More than three hundred people were lost in this battle, but no one even climbed up to the top of Yanmen Pass! Is this battle still going to be fought?
In fact, the defeat so far has something to do with the fact that Du Bi and Liu Wu are playing tricks on Tuesday!
Both of them want to preserve their strength. Neither of them wants to send elite troops forward. If they can win this battle, it will be really weird!
Although he knew that the hope of winning was slim, Du Bi still wanted to continue to trick Liu Wuzhou.
So, after resting for half a day that day, early the next morning, Du Bi forced Liu Wuzhou to send troops forward to die!
Not surprisingly, this time, Liu Wuzhou still did not send elite troops to attack, and the two sent a large number of old, weak, sick and disabled people to the battle. This was not only because Liu Wuzhou had the intention to respond to the situation, but also because the veterans of the Bingzhou Army
Too young!
Bingzhou is just a state, and it is a barren land full of barren mountains and old forests! As for the population of Bingzhou, it is less than two million! With this small population and territory, Liu Wuzhou was able to gather a hundred thousand people
The reason for the large army was that Liu Wuzhou definitely included all the elderly and children who could move in Bingzhou.
You know, in the past decades, Bingzhou has been in constant war and has never been able to recuperate! The former Sui and Han king Yang Liang rebelled, and Yang Guang patrolled the Turks in the north, and then he was beaten by the Turkic army. Later, Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shi
They all rebelled and seduced the Turkic army to come in and burn, kill and loot all the way! Later, Liu Wuzhou and Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty fought fiercely, and then invaded the Yuan Dynasty but were beaten!
In short, it can be said that the merger of states has basically never stopped in these years, and the population reduction is naturally very serious! Especially the young and middle-aged people, almost all of them have been consumed!
This time Liu Wu and Zhou forced themselves to recruit 150,000 troops, nearly half of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled!
In the beginning, the purpose of Liu Wu and Zhou's recruitment of old and weak people was naturally to build momentum for himself, so that his Bingzhou Army would still look powerful and arrogant!
But after pretending to be the boss, Liu Wuzhou discovered that there were too many people, which was really a trouble! And the most troublesome thing among them was the problem of food supply.
Bingzhou is a bitter cold place and does not produce much food, but Liu Wuzhou is a bandit and does not understand production at all! With so many armies entangled this time, Liu Wuzhou could not get enough food supplies for a while.
What made Liu Wuzhou a little relieved was that after going north to join Du Bi, in order to use Liu Wuzhou as cannon fodder, Du Bi gave Liu Wuzhou some sick cattle and dead sheep, but it was only able to barely keep these Bingzhou troops from starving.
I can't walk!
Of course, this situation only applies to those old and weak soldiers who were temporarily recruited! Liu Wuzhou's real direct troops can still live a life of plenty every day!
But Liu Wuzhou also knew that continuing like this was not an option. Once those unscrupulous people were forced to panic and stage a mutiny, they didn't have to look good!
Now in the first battle at Yanmen Pass, the Bingzhou Army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and most of them died in the battle. Although Liu Wuzhou felt that his face was dull, he was still very happy in his heart! Because he could save a lot of rice and grain!
With this idea of a small farmer, Liu Wuzhou flipped the abacus in his heart and quickly made a decision!
So, early the next morning, before his friend Du Bi sent someone to urge him, Liu Wuzhou consciously urged his cannon fodder and the state army to die at Yanmen Pass, and at the same time consumed the Yuan army's defenders.
Supplies!
After five consecutive days of strong attack, more than half of Liu Wuzhou's 150,000 troops had been consumed. The remaining 60,700 to 70,000 horses were basically Liu Wuzhou's old men. Liu Wuzhou was naturally reluctant to let these people go and die! This was
Liu Wuzhou will fight for hegemony in the world in the future and use his capital to rob families and homes!
His mind wandered for a long time, Liu Wu gritted his teeth on Monday, and with a cruel heart, dragged his sick body to see his gay master Du Bi!
After seeing Du Bi, he knelt three times and kowtowed nine times. Liu Wuzhou began to cry to Du Bi, saying how cruel the Yuan army at Yanmen Gate was and how the Bingzhou army under his command fought bravely to kill the enemy. Unfortunately, they were outnumbered and defeated by the Yuan army.
Subordinates. Now, most of my Bingzhou Army has been killed and wounded, and it is really impossible to fight anymore!
And Duo Bi's East Tucai cavalry are invincible in the world, and now the Yanmen garrison has been dragged down by him into a tired army. This is the time for Du Bi to show off his power. As long as the East Tu cavalry comes out, the Yanmen Yuan army will definitely be overthrown.
Bi's illustrious and obscene intimidation scared her to the point of peeing, and so on! (To be continued.)
