Chapter 630: A World Where Only the Spies Are Injured
In Tongcheng, Shangguan Jinhong entered the city gate, accompanied by Yu Qian and several generals. They were naturally here to defend the city, but Yu Qian's face was not very good at this time, while the faces of several generals were different and a little embarrassed.
.
"The chief assistant cares about the soldiers and people of Weicheng, and the last few generals are grateful. However, the overall situation is like this, so please cheer up. There is still a tough battle to be fought in the future."
A certain deputy general could still speak, but his comfort had no effect. Yu Qian just turned away and looked at Shangguan Jinhong with a questioning look in his eyes.
Shangguan Jinhong knew what he meant and said calmly: "My people should be back soon. What is the situation in Weicheng? I will know it soon. However, the Qing army should not massacre the city. If the lord of Weicheng surrenders on his own initiative,
, should be able to ensure that the military and civilians have no worries.”
It was as late as it was said, then it was fast. The so-called spies seemed to be cooperating with Shangguan Jinhong. As soon as the words came to light, they were already back.
"Report! The resistance in Weicheng was strong, and the Qing army returned without success. Now they have changed the direction of attack and are heading towards Tongcheng!"
"..."
Um?
Did Weicheng hold on?
Shangguan Jinhong stretched out his hand and pressed the spy's neck, "You, a spy of the Qing army, must have some logic when making up lies!"
The spy was panicked. He didn't understand why his words were illogical. They were all true!
Click! Shangguan Jinhong broke his neck. Yu Qian frowned slightly and sighed: "You started too quickly. You should at least ask for it."
Shangguan Jinhong snorted coldly, "Both you and I know that the lord of Yu City has no talent, and there is no way that Yu City can be defended. This spy said this, he could only induce us to send troops, and then intercept us halfway and annihilate our army.
!”
Shangguan Jinhong's speculation was obviously in line with everyone's thinking logic, but when Yu Qian looked at the dead spy, a question rang in his mind.
Is Dorgon so stupid?
But now that the person is dead, Yu Qian can't delve into anything further, and there is no time for him to think.
Rumble~!
The roar of horseshoes was like rolling thunder. Outside the city, the mighty and dark Qing army had begun to gather and put into formation. The flags were fluttering, and the momentum of the military formation even pushed away the dark clouds in the sky.
Yu Qian no longer had any doubts in his mind. With such a strong combat power, how could Weicheng take the lead to defend it?
"Humph, this Dorgon is also a bachelor. I just killed the spies here, and he has already started attacking."
"Maybe Dorgon also knows that this kind of action has no chance of success!"
"..."
Everyone's expressions were a little weird for a moment, and they almost glanced at the dead spy. Then Yu Qian sighed softly, turned around and shouted: "Shameless, but the Qing army only knows how to use some underhanded tricks. What does this mean? It means that they
Afraid of us! If we can decipher his conspiracy, we will definitely be able to drive the Qing army back!"
Morale is a very mysterious thing, and this operation is really effective. The soldiers in the city began to scream and prepare for the attack.
Dorgon saw Yu Qian and Shangguan Jinhong on the city wall from a distance outside the city. He nodded with satisfaction, "Humph, looking at their hurried mobilization, it seems that they are unprepared. This is right. It seems that you and I
There is nothing wrong with the previous speculation. They have ambushed most of their forces in Weicheng and want to plot against us."
Next to him, Tang Ruowang also nodded. Look at the flat city top. It looks like it's a normal defense of the city. What's the point of blocking the view?
Dorgon didn't say anything more, attack the city!
In almost the same pattern, the heavy armored cavalry began to charge towards the city gate carrying the bumper. The bumper was wrapped with powerful internal force and almost glowed.
The Ming army in the city was not ambiguous either. A group of good soldiers blocked the city gate and also attached their internal strength to the city gate.
This is how the world fights. The existence of internal energy and the like makes the battle between two armies more like two people fighting. You come and I go, and there are all kinds of tricks.
Boom!
The wooden block and the city gate collided fiercely, and the strong infuriating reaction formed a wave of air that exploded, causing many knights to roll to the ground uncontrollably. However, they did not have any difficulties, and even felt smooth.
You see, this is right, the collision of true energy is the mainstream!
The Ming army defending the city had no idea what the enemies outside the city were thinking. They just felt that the Qing army was very strong. The impact just now made many people feel their hearts stagnant and wanted to vomit blood.
"Fire the arrow!"
It was also a rain of arrows, but Tongcheng's archers were obviously much stronger than the improvised ones from Weicheng. Their shots were farther and more powerful, and they also caused more casualties to the Qing army.
"Huh? This round of arrow rain is very particular. They are all veterans of archery!"
The first thing Zuo Zhou was able to master was his bow and arrow skills, so he could see through the quality of the Ming army's soldiers almost at a glance.
Li Yuzhu nodded and agreed: "Yes, they are all elites. But... if there are elites here, then over there in Weicheng..."
They are different from Dorgon and others. They have received first-hand information, so they have a clear understanding of the Ming army's combat power. You must know that the previous battle led by Zhu Qizhen dispersed the most elite troops of the Ming army.
, although many people escaped, but those people have lost their fighting spirit. Not to mention that they cannot be found back in a short time, even if they are found, they will not have much fighting power.
Therefore, the Ming army did not have many elite troops that could be mobilized temporarily. If they were dispersed to two cities, it would only give Dorgon the opportunity to defeat them one by one. Therefore, it was a decision that had to be made to concentrate the superior forces together.
But...if the superior force is in Tongcheng, what will happen to Weicheng?
The two looked at each other inexplicably and wanted to laugh, but held back.
Dorgon still didn't notice any problem, and even said to Tang Ruowang, "Look, the way they defended the city this time is normal. There is no ambush at first glance."
Tang Ruowang also nodded with satisfaction. It's not that there is anything wrong with ambushes or traditional methods, but... Li Yuanfang's move flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but feel frightened.
Maybe the two of them didn't realize it themselves, but now when they heard that it was a master from Da Qin, they subconsciously felt a little scared!
The Qing soldiers had already started to build ladders, and Dorgon also took action almost at the same time. However, he did not rush to the top of the city. Instead, he released his momentum and pressure, and was entangled with Shangguan Jinhong in the distance.
This is the normal mode of national war. This kind of coercion can effectively create pressure on the soldiers. Since the whole army is responsible, the soldiers do not even notice the abnormality. When the battle is performed, the combat effectiveness will often decrease unconsciously.
, just like a large buff.
In fact, Dorgon also used coercion when he was in Weicheng before, but the problem was that the defenders of Weicheng didn't show up at all. They just worked like a mechanical assembly line, with all kinds of wood, rolling stones and kerosene, and
It’s a catapult lathe crossbow mixed with bow and arrow projectile. It’s immune to debuff from another angle. Are you angry?
"Oh? Isn't it a coincidence? It turns out to be Shangguan Jinhong!"
"Do you have a grudge?"
Li Yuzhu looked at him strangely, you have quite a lot of enemies.
"It's not really a grudge, but he used to be one of the leaders of the Qinglong Society, and the Qinglong Society was originally an enemy of Great Qin. As a general of Great Qin, I would naturally have contact with them. They arranged for me to break the situation. Well, I used to be in my name.
I was quite dedicated when I was at Dali Temple."
"Then do you want to take action?"
"There's no need to do anything... but we can talk about it. I'm quite interested in some of his stuff."
Zuo Zhou raised his eyebrows. His woman is now one of the leaders of the Qinglong Society. Although this leader is not recognized by the big dragon head, the intelligence power and various channels are real. If... Shangguan Jinhong can be defeated
With all the intelligence channels in hand, this force will begin to show its scale. With this foundation, I believe that with Jiang Yuyan's ability, it should develop well.
Zuo Zhou was still thinking about something, but the defenders and the Qing army had already launched an offensive and defensive battle at the top of the city.
Qing soldiers often had three or five spears thrust at them as soon as they showed up. Some were knocked away directly, while others carried their shields to the top of the city with the support of their comrades behind them.
But getting to the top of the city is just the beginning. Once you get to the top of the city, more soldiers will definitely surround you. Shield poke is a very unsolvable mode, especially during a siege. It is often so crowded that you can't even move.
Difficulties, and then stabbed to death by random shots.
In this situation, we can only wait until more and more comrades-in-arms attack the city. Siege warfare has always been a very consuming process.
"Bow and arrow suppression!"
Dorgon waved his hand and ordered the archers to release arrows. The main purpose was to pour firepower on the city to reduce some pressure on the Qing troops.
However, in fact, such behavior has very limited effect in siege warfare, because bows and arrows are sometimes short-sighted, and they can threaten the defenders but also their own people. As the bows are fired too many times, the archers' fatigue accumulates.
There is also a decrease in accuracy.
It's just that these are all within Dorgon's expectations, and it can be considered a common sense. Most of the time, the outcome of a siege depends on the accumulation of corpses on the city wall.
Yes, most people may not think of it, it is not even written in the Art of War.
When the battle is fierce, there is no time to deal with the corpses of the enemy and ourselves. When there are too many corpses on the ground to affect the formation and actions, it is often the easiest time for the attacking side to occupy the city head.
So tragic! So cruel!
However, this time the siege will not be that simple, because Shangguan Jinhong will lead a group of masters to blow the corpses down, and even use them as rolling stones.
This also means that this battle will be more intense than before, and more people will die.
"The generals are taking action." Tang Ruowang watched from a distance as several waves of zhenqi suddenly blew out from the city wall.
Dorgon crossed his arms and said calmly: "First use up their energy, and try your best to break through the city gate before dark."
