Chapter 835 Han Army Withdrawal(1/2)

()...Permanent URL, please remember!

"King, now more than 25,000 people from the tenth town of Zhao's army have returned to Dongyongzhou and are heading south. As the last general, we cannot continue to attack the Zhao army's city here. Please visit the latest free chapters of this book.

...Otherwise, the Zhao army will attack our flanks with its superior forces, and the Zhao army in the city will be in an extremely unfavorable situation."

"What do you mean is withdrawing? It took two months, but I got nothing, so I left. I am really unwilling to accept it." King Situ Fei of Hanzhong said with a blue face.

Wang Hewen said in a muffled voice: "King, it is precisely because we attacked for nearly two months and the soldiers were exhausted that we could not continue to stay here. In addition, because we transferred the defenders of Danyang Prefecture and Bei'an Prefecture, we also

The King of Qi was very dissatisfied. Many of the food and supplies needed by our army were provided by the King of Qi, and he had strongly asked us to evacuate. Otherwise, we would be afraid that our logistics would also be a problem."

Wei Ping, another minister of Situ Fei, also said in a deep voice: "Although the king has transferred Danyang Prefecture and Bei'an Prefecture to make our troops strong and Zhao's army, our logistical pressure has also increased greatly. In particular, the King of Shu stopped supporting us in food and grass.

After the supplies, we are under even greater pressure.”

"Especially the Zhao cavalry active in our rear, they plundered our baggage team several times, destroying a large part of our food and supplies during transportation. I am worried that there must be cavalry among the returned Zhao army,

If they acted, I am afraid that it would be not far from us now. Although we have 60,000 soldiers here, we are indeed in Henan Prefecture and Hongnong Prefecture. If the Zhao cavalry raided, I am afraid..."

Wang Hewen continued: "Although there are 60,000 soldiers, nearly 10,000 of them are Qi troops, and they will not obey our military orders. Among them, nearly 7,000 of them are Shu troops, although we beat them.

The reorganization of the scattered troops, but they were not close to us. Only 20,000 were drawn from the south and had complete combat power. The rest of the soldiers were more than a month and a half lost to the siege. They were exhausted and a little tired of fighting.

Then. If we continue, it will be very unfavorable for us. In addition, the situation of the Zhao army returning from Xiyongzhou has also been known to the soldiers as the Zhao army spread in the city."

"Now, many of our soldiers are suspected that the Zhao army has occupied Xiyongzhou and the army has come south. The soldiers are even panicked and their hearts are in turmoil."

Situ Fei sighed and said bitterly: "The Zhao army has returned, and Xiyongzhou has been conquered by the Zhao army. I will evacuate it. I really can't swallow this."

After a little silence, Wang Hewen continued: "King, I think that Xiyongzhou was conquered by the Zhao army, it is a foregone conclusion. In addition to the discooperation and troubles of the King of Shu, it is also too far from us in Xiyongzhou and has no scruples.

The problem of the Western Front is related. The land of Jingzhou, whether it is the King of Shu or Qi, does not want to see it annexed by the Zhao army, but Xiyongzhou, except us, no one will care about it."

"What do you mean is it wrong to move our army's center of gravity eastward?" After taking a deep breath, Situ Fei said with a sad face, "You are right. We shouldn't care too much about Jingzhou at the beginning

Land. Especially after the Zhao army advanced westward, I should not expect the Qi army and Shu army to assist from the side, nor should I send troops from Jingzhou, but should directly mobilize the army to Hanzhong, and Xiyongzhou is responsible for the front-line war. But now I say

What's the use of this? I'm unable to change the results. Xiyongzhou has now become the subordinate of the Zhao army."

Wang Hewen said in a deep voice: "So, I think that the importance of Hanzhong is more important than our continued attack on Dong Yongzhou. Our attack on Zhao's army on this road and delaying Zhao's army will only deplete our strength and make the Shu army better.

Occupy Hanzhong. King, Hanzhong is your fiefdom, so you should not be thrown away easily."

Thinking of logistics issues and thinking that his old lair was occupied by the Shu army, King Situ Fei of Hanzhong's eyes suddenly turned red again. Now, his hatred for the King of Shu is no less than his anger and resentment towards Zhao Xun. Even, for

The King of Shu was even more angry. After all, the Zhao army was in an enemy relationship with him, and it was normal for the Zhao army to occupy his territory. However, the King of Shu was in an ally with him, but now he was raided by his allies.

"Forget it, just withdraw the troops! Send the order to Qinjiang outside the Lu City to be careful of the Zhao army's surprise attack. In addition, prepare to retreat here, meet with us, and then withdraw the troops."

…………

In Lushi City, another Han army was still attacking the city under the leadership of the chief general Qin Jiang. The Hanzhong King led the army north and divided the troops into two groups. One of them attacked the cities of Yiyang and Yongning in Henan Prefecture, and the other one of them attacked the city of Lushi City.

"Take the rolling wood! Blow me hard about these bastards who invaded our home!" On the city wall, the Zhao army defending officer ordered coldly. With the officer's order, the young and strong soldiers guarding the city were covered by the sword and shield soldiers.

Go down, lift the rolling wood from behind the battlements and smash it down along the ladder.

These young and strong men were mostly composed of people who retreated to the city from the towns outside the city. Because the people outside the city wanted to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, almost all of them entered the city and guarded the city with the soldiers and young and strong men in the city. For the Han army attacking outside the city, they

But they had no favoritism. After all, if the Han army occupied this place, they would no longer enjoy the various policies of the Zhao army. In order to protect their current lives, they fought without any fear or retreat.

Speaking of which, the policies and systems implemented by the Zhao army in Dongyongzhou have a profound impact on the people. Otherwise, after the Han army headed north, the Zhao army would strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and the people in the towns outside the city would not take action.

It is also because of this that the logistics pressure of the Han army greatly increased. After all, after the solid walls and clearing the fields, the Han army could not even implement the plunder of food and grass from the local area, and the local area could not provide food and grass for its army. The Han soldiers and soldiers

If necessary, all of them need to be transported from the rear.

Huge rolling wood jumped and rolled down the ladder, whizzing down. Because of the battle, the Han army's ladders were damaged a lot. Now the ladders are basically made in a hurry, and even the bark is not enough to scrape.

It was not so smooth, causing some trouble for the soldiers climbing the ladder and the rolling wood, but that's all, some ditches could not stop the huge rush of the rolling wood. There were wailing sounds in the city, and they were trying to climb, and

A large area of ​​soldiers on the escalator below was smashed down, and the powerful offensive suddenly stopped.

"Tick the hook!"

The order is re-launched, without any emotion in his tone, as if it comes from a lifeless existence, but it is extremely timely and fatal! There are many offensive and defensive battles, and almost forms a pattern for the defensive program. After the order is issued,

Some young and strong men put down the rolling wood in their hands, picked up the scratch hook behind the battlements, and together with a few Zhao soldiers, hooked the end of the ladder, shouted loudly, and pulled it hard along the direction of the city wall. Without support from people, they were temporarily built.

The ladder could not pluck the city wall, and slowly fell down in the direction of the hook, smashing a large area of ​​Han army's siege soldiers under the city.

"Put the nails!"

The pace is not fast or slow, just right, and for the soldiers guarding the city and the young and strong, they feel very familiar. After all, they do not do such things once or twice, nor one or two more.

Another group of young and strong men, after the military order was issued, they immediately started another killing weapon. This was also a new defensive weapon that the city guards and the baggage team had explored in the city guarding.

"Crazy!" This is a real killing weapon. Amid the screams of the Han soldiers under the city, a few thick wooden boards more than five feet long and two feet wide whistling from the top of the city with the sound of iron chains colliding, whistling from the top of the city with the sound of iron chains colliding.

And down! The condescending momentum is already shocking, and the iron nails covered with sharp teeth on the wooden board are even more shocking!

Han soldiers who were holding a huge tree were trying to take advantage of the defenders' concentration to deal with their companions who were sieging the city and trying to do something on the city gate were caught off guard and were beaten into a dense queue by nails, and howled in a row.

Before the sound could be made, more than ten people fell down in despair.

The remaining people were frightened and their strength was not enough. No matter how hard the huge hammer was, the hammer landed on the ground, and the city gate was also filled with people and horses.

"Shoot the arrow!"

At the beginning of the siege, the array of Han soldiers was quite strict, with some holding shields, some carrying ladders, hammers, and cover archers. However, the archers outside the city were covered by the rain of Zhao army's arrows.

The losses were heavy. Only the sword and shield soldiers holding the shield were slightly better.

In order to achieve maximum lethality and save arrows, the soldiers of Zhao did not continue to attack those sword and shield soldiers holding shields, and did not take advantage of these sword and shield soldiers when the array was relatively strict, but instead shot arrows on the other side.

When the siege is frustrated and chaos occurs, use all the shelter to kill.

The Han soldiers did not start to fight, but they were killed or injured immediately.

"Damn it!" Seeing a large area of ​​fallen under his command, many soldiers even began to dodge and retreat, they couldn't help but shouted angrily: "What are you afraid of? Take down the city and relax the whole army for three times. Brothers, come with me, brothers

!” The Han army officer roared and scolded, and commanded his men to join several ladders together. He roared wildly, held an iron shield and rushed forward.

Inspired by the officers, the soldiers siege the city swarmed up, and the people in the front were holding iron shields and relying on the ladders connected to form a shield wall. The defenders at the city quickly noticed the abnormal movement here.

Almost as the shield wall was formed, a huge rolling wood roared down and hit the shield wall heavily, making a dull loud noise.

The shield wall trembled violently. Some of the shield holders had broken their tiger's mouths, some of them sprayed blood, and some even couldn't catch the ladder, and fell down with the rolling wood, falling into the crowd below. Fortunately,

This round of attack was actually resisted by them!

The shield wall was quickly replenished and returned to tranquility again. The person who was injured by the rolling wood below refused to retreat. His eyes were just staring at the top of the city, and a burst of excitement came from his mouth.

"Brothers, kill with me! Let's rush forward!" The other officers behind him immediately shouted.

The trowel hook was stretched out on the top of the city wall, and the soldiers who had no time to climb the ladder immediately put their hands on the ladder. The power gathered by everyone made the ladder seem to have taken root. No matter how the trowel hook was pulled, it still stood firmly without any wavering.

signs.

"Haha... Kill the city, indulge three ri! Kill..." The Han army officer who used a shield to block a stone and climbed the city first shouted loudly. The Han army soldiers behind him felt full of energy when they saw that they were about to enter the city.

, they all roared and raised the sword in their hands. The early summer sun shone on the blade, reflecting a cold and murderous aura.

"Kill!" There was a chao-like echo from behind, and climbed up to the top of the city and rushed towards the target that had been eyeing.

"If you want to go to the city? Don't even think about it!" On the city wall, the Zhao army commander whispered coldly.

"Lapsmen, attack! Driving them down for me! Lu City is a city of iron, just a Han army, don't even think about breaking the city!"

"Swoosh swish swish swish..." First of all, the Han army officer who was waiting to climb the city wall had not had time to be happy, and there were several long spears roaring from different angles in front of him, stabbing at the same time from different angles!

"Uh... Damn!" The Han army officer couldn't help but murmured. If it was other arrows, he could still use a shield to block them. If it was on the flat ground, he would not be afraid, and if there were other robes around him, he would not be afraid either.

Now, he was alone on the top of the city, facing the spears coming from all directions, he could do nothing.

"Puff..." The sharp gun blade pierced the leather armor effortlessly, lifting him up high like a fork... Just before someone was swung out, the Han army officer used the corners of his eyes

I just saw the scene at the top of the city. The space at the top of the city was not wide, but the soldiers guarding the city were divided into several teams in an orderly manner. Only a few people were working as various guarding the city equipment on the city, and they were always in the

In the rotation; behind them is a row of spearmen; behind them are archers holding crossbows.

Flying in the air and struggling, the Han army officer finally closed his eyes in despair, unable to bear to see the blood of his brothers anymore, and then fell into the dust and merged with the earth.

"Damn it! A group of idiots, why don't you rush up together? Let's go together!" The Han general who was supervising the battle under the city saw Ya Zi cracking. He hissed and roared, watching his brothers fly across the flesh and blood, cut into pieces like wheat ears.

But his heart was bleeding.

As the brave officer was killed at the top of the city, the morale of the Han soldiers who climbed the city suddenly dropped, and they were then suppressed by the Zhao army.

This round of siege failed again, and the Han army officers and generals under the city were immediately astonished.

"General, you can't continue. The soldiers fought hard for half a mile and were exhausted. It's time to rest and withdraw their troops!" In the middle of the Han army, a general and a schoolman whispered to the face of Qin Jiang, who was sank to the ground.

Said.

Qin Jiang's face was very ugly. He was appointed as the commander of the whole road by the King of Hanzhong. I don't know how many colleagues were jealous. For Qin Jiang, he always hoped that he could take down the Zhao army city so that other generals could see him.

ability.

Of course, he did not expect that even the main force of King Hanzhong could not take over the two major cities of Henan Prefecture, let alone his side-in-arms. Qin Jiang naturally ignored these things, he just wanted to take over the Lu City.

, show other generals and the king their abilities, and shut up those generals who are jealous of themselves.

Therefore, Qin Jiang was still very unhappy about the generals and school striking their pavilion attack. Although he knew that the soldiers were exhausted, he still continued to attack the city. Especially now that the thunder of the Zhao army no longer appeared, the sky-shaking thunder of the sky was no longer visible.
