Chapter six hundred and fiftieth will take
A boulder of fifty kilograms can be thrown two hundred and seventy steps, and a boulder of one hundred kilograms can be thrown one hundred and fifty steps.
With Pili Che, Yang Zheng no longer needs to hesitate.
As Malone said, the only way to get something out of the fire is to fight quickly.
Daijun is only a few dozen miles away from Yanmen.
"Today we will attack Daijun with great force, and tomorrow we will attack Daijun!" Yang Zheng was determined.
"Wei!" All the generals accepted the order.
The atmosphere of war quickly spread in Yanmen.
Xuanyi Lang and others continued to boost morale, "Your Majesty leads an army that has never been defeated. We will do our best to help you!"
"I will fight here when I want to gain fame!"
"The king regards you as his children, how can we not repay him?"
…
There was a flash of blood in the eyes of the soldiers.
A chilling air rose from the ground.
Yang Zheng has been victorious in every battle for so many years, and the morale of the soldiers is naturally high.
On the second day, when the sky was dim and bright, Yanmen's hundreds of thousands of troops came out in full force.
War horses, soldiers, thundering chariots, all kinds of sounds mixed together, like muffled thunder.
Several groups of cavalry suddenly rushed out in the morning light to clear out the scouts in the field.
Yang Zheng and his infantry marched towards Pingcheng in a mighty manner.
Beacon smoke billowed along the way.
The might of the soldiers is overwhelming in the desert, and the murderous intent is in the sky.
Xianbei cavalry from all over the country also came out in full force and surrounded the Qin army's formation.
But seeing the overwhelming murderous intent of the Qin army, all of them stopped moving forward. No matter how the Qin army called for formation, they did not dare to fight, but just hung at a distance.
This also allowed the Qin army to approach Pingcheng in a majestic manner.
"Your Majesty, Chen Qian's 20,000 soldiers from Youzhou suddenly rode out of Feihukou and headed towards Pingcheng!" The scout rushed to report.
"Twenty thousand Wuhuan Tuqi are not enough!" Yang Zheng shook his head.
As soon as they came up, the whole army was deployed, so that Chen Qian could not react, so he could only send out 20,000 cavalry first.
The Youzhou Cavalry are an old rival, but in front of hundreds of thousands of troops, the cavalry can only stare blankly.
Pingcheng was not only the Datong of later generations, the key to Hebei, but also the center of the Yandai Basin.
Tuoba Li has been in business for decades, but the level of city construction is not high. It is still a city wall made of solid loess, and the city size is not large.
The city is full of busy figures of Xianbei people.
Er, a man from the city lowered himself down, walked to the front of the formation, and was brought to Yang Zheng.
"Liu Hong is in the south, Chen Qian is in the east, and Liu Yuan is in the west. It's the king's plan. It's better for the two families to stop fighting. My Khan is willing to send 3,000 war horses and 70,000 shi of food every year!" the envoy said tremblingly.
It can be seen that the Qin army's momentum frightened the city.
"It's too late to beg for peace at this time. Go back and tell Tuoba Liwei that Gu has built a mansion for him in Chang'an. As long as he surrenders, Tuoba's family will enjoy endless wealth and splendor. Gu will never break his promise!"
"The Khan has been running Dai County for decades, and has more than 300,000 men on horseback to control the strings. He has enough food and grass for several years. The king is resorting to military warfare. He can only lose both sides and be taken advantage of by others. I hope the king will think deeply!"
"So many?" Liu Heng's eyes lit up.
Yang Zheng also laughed. Tuoba Liwei still had some wealth, "Don't say more!"
With a wave of his hand, the war drums roared, and hundreds of thousands of people began to shout.
The earth shook and the mountains shook, as if the entire city was trembling.
The messenger's face turned pale, and he sat down on the ground and began to cry.
Doing this made Yang Zheng feel guilty immediately.
But in this world, if you don’t eat others, others will eat you!
Wasn't Tuoba Liwei's first pot of gold just to annex the Luhui tribe?
Tigers and wolves will never pity a lamb, this is the way of heaven.
The way of heaven is unkind but for the sake of great benevolence!
Yang Zheng no longer hesitated, drew out his long sword, pointed at Pingcheng, "Attack the city!"
"Siege the city!"
All kinds of flags and orders were waved, the messengers rushed away, the sound of the war drums became more and more passionate, and the roars of filial piety by the Qin army officers became more ferocious.
One hundred and seventy thunderbolt chariots were pushed to the city.
Seeing such a huge thing, there was a lot of excitement in the city, and arrows shot out in panic were missed, but the attack of the arrow rain was limited.
The city also knew the threat of these catapults. The city gate suddenly opened, and a group of cavalry rushed out, holding torches and carrying cans of fire oil and rushing towards the catapults.
Malong was well prepared, and he set up his large shields and spears in the formation, blocking the catapult like a giant wall.
The Xianbei cavalry did not care about life and death. They bumped into their shields and spears while riding their horses and ignited the fire oil jars on their bodies.
Balls of flames rose in front of the formation.
The Xianbei people were not afraid of death, but in front of the Qin army's infantry formation, the casualties they caused were limited and they were unable to attack the Thunderbolt Chariot.
The next moment, one hundred and seventy Thunderbolt vehicles made a thunderous roar.
The cannon stone roared sharply across the sky and hit the city wall, causing a wave of blood.
Even the city walls began to shake.
The first attack was just for debugging, and the second attack was focused on one location.
One after another, the cannon stones were like meteors, hitting the same city wall.
The city wall shook even more violently.
The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time...
Not to mention Pingcheng, even if Chang'an faced such a blow, the city wall would not be able to hold on.
"It's collapsed, it's collapsed!" Liu Heng suddenly shouted, startling Yang Zheng.
Looking up, sure enough, there was a collapse of more than thirty steps in the west wall of Pingcheng.
The cheers of the Qin army filled the mountains and plains.
However, the city did not give up resistance, and it was impossible for the city to collapse and the war to end.
On the contrary, the battle has just begun.
The desolate sound of the horn shook the wilderness.
It was as if the wolves were howling to the sky for their fate.
Tuoba Liwei knew what losing Pingcheng meant. Tuoba Xianbei would either go south to join Jin, or go north and escape to Mobei...
For Yang Zheng, Daijun was the homeland of the Han family and an important place for Qin to attack Hebei, so it must be captured.
Neither the Central Plains nor the Qin State could tolerate the existence of Tuoba Xianbei.
Tuoba Liwei had stayed out of the situation for decades, playing both sides, but as the confrontation between the East and the West took shape, there was no room for him to move around.
Killing Desert Khan actually proved that he did not have the courage to reform.
Such troubled times are like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat, and if you retreat, you will perish!
Smoke billowed out of the city and shot straight into the sky.
To the north, east, and southeast, smoke and dust billowed, and the sound of hoofbeats sounded.
It was as if three torrents were rushing toward the Qin army's formation.
"Report - Your Majesty, Youzhou Cavalry appears in the southeast, fifty miles away from me!" The scout came flying towards me.
"Your Majesty, Liu Hong is riding with 5,000 paces, seventy miles south of our army!"
"They came in too hasty. These troops are no match for our army," Pang Qing said.
Obviously, Chen Qian and Liu Hong did not expect that Yang Zheng would attack fiercely when he came up, and even avoided the pulling process.
"Ma Long is really a talented general." Wei Guan said with emotion.
If it weren't for Malone's quick and decisive strategy, this war would have been fought over and over again.
This is the importance of a famous general to the country.
Now it seems that Chen Qian, Liu Hong, and Tang Zi are far inferior to Ma Long.
Zhang Te was also slightly inferior, and only Du Yu could compete with Ma Long.
Yang Zheng looked around at the Qin army, and saw endless black armor like a tide, covering the earth, and flags like clouds, covering the sky.
The autumn wind is bleak, and the heaven and earth are chilling.
"Tuoba Xianbei will be taken by Gu!" Yang Zheng's heart ignited with blazing flames.
