Jia Rong nodded slightly and said: "The Jizhou army will not be shaken unless the Yuan clan is captured. They have a lot of soldiers, which is much stronger than our army. But in a real field battle, even if they have thirty
Ten thousand people are not enough." Jia Rong was quite disdainful of the fact that Yuan Shao had increased the number of his troops so much. It was not about having many soldiers but about being skilled. Instead of building an army of 200,000, it would be better to use all the supplies and
Money is gathered together to build a force of 50,000 soldiers and horses, which can not only reduce consumption, but also improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. Jizhou is just a state, even if it is prosperous, without Jia Rong attacking, 200,000 soldiers can take over
Yuan Shao died of sorrow.
In terms of strength, the Jizhou Army is inferior to the Xiliang Army and Cao Army, so Yuan Shao wanted to start with numbers and crush you to death with the advantage of numbers.
The next day, the sky was clear and the weather was clear. Jia Rong personally took charge of the Chinese army. He still used the old tactics of fighting, including ladders, rams and wells.
When Zhang Jaw on the city saw the banner with the word "Jia" flying in the middle of the Xiliang Army, his face turned solemn. It had been some time since Jia Rong came to the city. The purpose of the Xiliang Army was very simple.
A fierce attack captured the Changshan Kingdom, but there were 40,000 defenders in the city. Even if the Xiliang army had 100,000, it would be difficult to break through.
Zhang Jia learned from the previous battles of the Xiliang Army that the Xiliang Army always liked to make sneak attacks and secretly opened the city gate, so he strengthened the defensive force at the city gate.
At this time, he was a little puzzled, because behind the Xiliang army's charging car, a group of soldiers appeared. These soldiers were different from the soldiers rushing to the battlefield. They were not wrapped in thick armor. They were dressed in black and had light and strong steps.
, holding something in his hand that he could not name even with his jaws open, he quickly approached the city gate.
After telling the question to Yan Liang, Yan Liang said with some disdain: "The Xiliang Army will always engage in conspiracy and tricks. I don't believe that with those few people, they can make a huge difference on the battlefield." After days of attacks, Yan Liang
He became a little numb and thought that the Xiliang army only had so many ways to attack the city.
Zhang Jia also nodded slightly, thinking that he was a little nervous. When he saw Jia Rong, he felt a little excited.
A dozen soldiers were mixed among the soldiers and were inconspicuous. After approaching the city gate, they began to dig on the ground.[
As an important place in a city, the ground outside the city gate is naturally very solid. After Zhang Jia heard the soldiers report the actions of more than a dozen people, he put aside the last doubt in his heart and wanted to dig a passage under the city gate.
You don't have to wait for half a month to succeed, and by then you only need to make a little preparation in the city to completely disintegrate this strategy.
Of course, the Thunderbolt Chariot on the city would not miss such an opportunity to attack the Xiliang Army. The boulders continued to wreak havoc on the soldiers as they advanced. Seeing the sound of the Xiliang Army lying in a pool of blood and wailing, I opened my jaw and felt very happy.
This attack by the Xiliang Army was completely life-threatening. Even if you open your jaw, you can't help but be frightened by the amount of materials consumed. Even the ballistae was launched desperately, and even the thunderbolt chariots were thrown.
Stones, but this is not the case with the repeating ballista. The crossbow arrows, which are like short spears, are all money.
Even when the ballista fired arrows, the defenders had experience in hiding.
Seeing the dust caused by the crossbow arrows hitting the city wall, Zhang Jia and Yan Liang had to pay attention to the crossbow cart. If there were no restrictions on arrows, they could directly destroy the city gate with the crossbow cart.
Thinking of the city gate, Zhang Jaw hurriedly ordered the soldiers to investigate the situation. More than a dozen soldiers had already dug a large pit. Since they were on the city, Zhang Jaw's field of vision was restricted and he could not see clearly at all, so he had to order the soldiers guarding the gate.
Continuously spread the latest news.
After the big hole was dug, the soldier's face showed a look of relief. The hole was not big, about half a meter deep, but it took a lot of effort.
There were only five or six soldiers left out of the dozen or so soldiers who came. For such a big pit, the soldiers also paid a heavy price, not to mention the main army used to attack the city. Jia Rong of the Chinese Army did not care at all.
More, in order to win this battle, it is appropriate to pay a small price.
Jia Rong took out a strange thing in his hand and looked toward the city gate. After seeing the soldiers' gestures, he ordered: "Ming Jin, withdraw the troops."
The sound of gold made Zhang Jia breathe a sigh of relief. In such a short time, more than 300 people had died in the city, and the price paid by the Xiliang army was also not small.
The siege army retreated, but soldiers secretly began to prepare. If you open your jaw here, you will definitely be surprised. Among these prepared soldiers, they are the heavy infantry and heavy cavalry of the Xiliang Army. On the battlefield, they are the ones who caused the bloody storm.
exist.
Guo Bang didn't understand what the soldiers near the city gate were doing, but at this critical moment, he didn't care so much. The soldiers preparing secretly were already rubbing shoulders, waiting for the next battle. But he heard Jia Rong say
When the city gate opened and heavy cavalry and heavy infantry came forward, he thought Jia Rong had found an internal agent in the city.
Boom, boom, boom, three loud noises sounded under the city. The hot waves lifted up several soldiers who were escaping. They died in extremely tragic ways. Under the loud noise, the city gate became a mess.
, there is no city gate, and there are even cracks on the city wall.
Such a movement, not to mention the Jizhou Army on the city, even Guo Bang, who was preparing secretly, was shocked. What happened below the city. Only then did he remember that at the beginning of the army's attack, there were more than a dozen soldiers holding hand-held weapons.
Strange things headed to the city gate, and when the army finally retreated, these soldiers were still busy under the city.
Ignoring Guo Si's strange look, Jia Rong said hastily: "Kill."[
Guo Bang was startled, his flags waved, the rumble of war drums sounded, and the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry headed towards the city gate.
When the heavy cavalry approached the city gate, they were also shocked. What kind of power could cause such destruction? The city gate disappeared, and under the city wall, the weapons and armor of the soldiers could be vaguely seen, all burnt black.
When the heavy cavalry entered the city, Zhang Jaw realized what he was doing and hurriedly ordered: "The Euphorbia soldiers come forward to meet the enemy."
Why are the Euphorbias the opponent of the heavy cavalry? The cavalry wrapped in armor can cause bursts of bloodshed and twist the formation of the Euphorbias without taking action, just relying on collision.
The Xiliang army outside the city followed the pace of the heavy cavalry and attacked the city. Yan Liang escaped from the Yuan clan dragging his jaws. Seeing that there were only more than 10,000 soldiers behind him, his face was strange.
It's ugly. In the previous battle with the Xiliang army, the city's defenders still had the upper hand. Unexpectedly, the city was lost in the blink of an eye. The huge gap between the front and back made Yan Liang somewhat unable to adapt.
Open-jawed eyes were hollow. When the army retreated, he saw with his own eyes the elite euphorbia warriors who were killed and retreated steadily under the heavy cavalry. It was impossible to stop the heavy cavalry, and all the euphorbia soldiers were defeated.
The soldiers also stayed in the city. The Euphorbia soldiers have always been a team that Yuan Shao attaches great importance to. Even though they suffered heavy losses outside Hangu Pass, after returning to Jizhou, Yuan Shao spent a lot of money to complete them and have a team that can compete with elite soldiers.
Yuan Shao was very proud of this team compared to the Xiliang Army.
Unexpectedly, in less than a day's work, only more than 10,000 people from the 40,000-strong army were left, many of whom were still injured. There were still more than 20,000 soldiers and horses and countless supplies of food and grass in the city. Poor Yan Liang was in a hurry.
He led the army away and left everything to the Xiliang army.
"Lord, what was that thing that destroyed the city gate just now?" Guo Bang asked.
This issue also attracted the attention of other military generals, as there were many such things in the Xiliang Army, not to mention the small Jizhou, even the whole world could have them at their fingertips.
"This is the top secret of the Xiliang Army. No one can know it except me. However, there are not many such things in the Xiliang Army. So in the future, I will rely on you to rush to the battlefield. Don't rely on the power of a few weapons.
, just arrogant, there are many smart people in this world." Jia Rong took the opportunity to teach him a lesson, didn't he understand the twists and turns in the general's heart?
"No." All the generals clasped their fists together and remembered Jia Rong's words in their hearts. On the battlefield, no matter how powerful the weapons are and the morale is low, they will still lose. The example of defeating more with less has been used in history.
There are countless of them.
"But I can lend you something like this for a while." Jia Rong said, taking out the telescope specially made by the craftsman's workshop.
Guo Bang took the telescope, imitated Jia Rong's appearance on the battlefield, and put it to his eyes to watch. When he saw a general in the room, his eyes suddenly zoomed in, and he stepped back two steps in fright, not knowing why.
Everyone looked at Guo Si in surprise.
Guo Bang glanced at Jia Rong's expression, then reviewed what he had just seen. He took a telescope and looked out toward the school field not far away. He saw soldiers far away, as if they were in front of him, so excited that they were on the battlefield.
If you have this thing, you can see the enemy far away, and you will be more accurate about the fighter aircraft.
"Lord, what is this?" Guo Bang reluctantly handed the telescope to another general beside him and asked Jia Rong.
"This is a telescope that can see objects far away." Jia Rong explained.
The telescope was also spread among everyone. After seeing it, they were no longer nostalgic. If a magic weapon is very attractive to military generals, then the telescope is more attractive than a magic weapon. They have never thought about it.
You can see things so far away. After hearing the conversation between Jia Rong and Guo Bang, many generals understood the importance of telescopes.
"This is for you. Whoever performs well on the battlefield will be given a telescope." Jia Rong said generously.
Yan Liang and Zhang Jia led more than 10,000 remnants of defeated generals. They could not advance more than ten miles before they were chased by cavalry.
After losing more than a thousand horses, the cavalry was finally thrown away. However, these cavalry were like tarsal maggots, chasing closely behind the Jizhou army, constantly weakening Yan Liang's strength. As long as Yan Liang stopped for a moment, there would be
