In anger, Yuan Shao did not dare to underestimate the enemy and ordered Wen Chou to lead an army of 20,000 to attack Dai County again. Xu You was appointed as the marching counselor. The war in Jixian County was in full swing. Xian Yufu's resistance was very strong. Yuan Shao only had six soldiers in his hands at this time.
Ten thousand troops besieged day and night in an attempt to defeat Xian Yufu in one fell swoop, and then disintegrate the fighting power of Youzhou. The rapid progress of the Xiliang army in Bingzhou deeply stimulated Yuan Shao. In terms of his life experience, he was the fourth generation and the third prince. Unexpectedly, even Cao Cao
He is not as good as Jia Rong. For many years, just owning the land of Jizhou has given him a strong enterprising spirit.
Xian Yufu was able to be entrusted with an important task by Yan Rou and become Youzhou's special commander. He must have some abilities. Not to mention being proficient in city defense, it was easy to stop Yuan Shao.
In particular, Weilan defeated the famous general Yan Liang in the Jizhou army, which made the soldiers of Youzhou have an unprecedented fighting spirit. Coupled with Xian Yufu's stimulation, the soldiers spared no effort to defend the city, preventing Yuan Shao from advancing.
Under Jinyang City, the Xiliang Army has completely filled in the wide moat.
Li Ru frowned and filled up the moat. I was afraid that tomorrow would be the day when the Xiliang Army would launch an attack. Thinking of the battle between the soldiers on both sides when the Xiliang Army filled the moat, Li Ru felt for the first time the terror of the Xiliang Army. The cavalry's
His archery skills can be said to be perfect. He can shoot from the bottom of the city to the top of the city with such accuracy. What if they meet on the battlefield? And faintly, Li Ru felt that the archers of the Xiliang cavalry had a better shooting range than the defenders.
is much further away, and all advantages are moving towards the direction of the Xiliang Army.
The other counties surrendered without a fight. The Xiliang army had already passed arrows, letting everyone in the city know that Jinyang City was enveloped in a layer of smoke. People were panicked, not because the soldiers were not spared their lives, but because their lord was
What kind of person is he? If Li Ru could treat his soldiers like Jia Rong, the soldiers would naturally not sacrifice their lives at critical moments. But after Li Ru ruled Bingzhou, he only focused on developing his own strength instead of caring for his soldiers.
Thinking about what to do temporarily may make some generals follow him wholeheartedly, but most of the soldiers are thinking about how to save their lives in this battle, or to establish military exploits.
"Are all the giant rocks and kerosene ready?" Li Ru said with a low expression.
Fan Chou cupped his fists and said, "My lord, we are all ready."
At this time, in Jinyang City, the only general worthy of Li Ru's trust was Fan Chou. Duan Yan and Xu Rong were besieged in Jingling and could not support them. Although there were tens of thousands of troops in the city, there were no brave generals to command them. When it came to the battlefield,
In terms of planning, Li Ru can take on the role of several others, but the real actual battle relies on the soldiers of the three armies.
The next day, after the Xiliang army finished burying the pots and making rice, the three armies formed an array. Jia Rong appeared in the middle of the army, wearing golden armor, with a Zhanlu sword on his waist, and a horse underneath him, looking majestic.
Without any unnecessary nonsense, Jia Rong directly ordered: "Siege the city!" After many days of preparation, all the soldiers were already preparing to sharpen their swords and fight vigorously.
The flags waved, the drums and horns sounded, and the thunder chariots approached the city under the cover of heavy infantry. The cavalry who were ready to go began to gallop, practicing their familiar archery under the city, and suppressing the defenders on the city.
, the ten wells were also pushed by the infantry, slowly coming towards the city wall. The soldiers carrying the ladder seemed to be waiting for something and did not take action.
Even though there were thousands of ravines in Li Ru's chest, facing the rain of arrows that covered the sky, he could only order his soldiers to raise their shields to block it. From now on, his own soldiers couldn't raise their heads at all. Thinking of the thunderous chariots waiting under the city just now, Li Ru
Ru felt his scalp numb. When the Thunderbolt Chariot approached the city wall, it would definitely be a huge blow to the defenders.
The defenders also had thunder chariots, but they were far inferior to those of the Xiliang army. Their attack power and attack range were too small, and they even lacked accuracy. Although they caused certain difficulties for the cavalry, they still could not stop the army.
The pace of the attack.
The iron-wrapped well is also a sharp weapon in sieges. It shines on the battlefield of Bingzhou. Li Ru certainly knows a thing or two. There is a huge difference between what he sees with his own eyes and what he hears in the intelligence. Such a well gives people the impression that it cannot be broken.
feeling.
Looking at the trembling soldiers, Li Ru couldn't help but stepped forward and kicked him, and cursed: "The enemy is right in front of you. Anyone who gives up will die. If you retreat, you will die. If you don't retreat, there will be a way to survive."
The bodyguards were guarding Li Ru's left and right. If any soldiers dared to be ignorant, they would not show mercy to anyone with swords and guns in their hands. The armors on the bodyguards and the weapons in their hands were all obtained from the soldiers of the Xiliang Army. In the army,
Definitely top-notch.
Groups of soldiers responsible for supervising the battle appeared on the city wall. Li Ru's occupation of Bingzhou was not very deep. The soldiers did not have a sense of belonging and it was very possible to escape before the battle. However, the soldiers supervising the battle would not hesitate to
Killing those who escaped can act as a deterrent to a certain extent and stimulate the soldiers' fighting spirit.
The sound of the war drums suddenly changed, and the thunderbolt chariots began to show off their power. Stones larger than the washbasin were thrown at the city wall. Five out of ten stones fell on the city wall, and the rest also stirred up dust flowers on the city wall.
Under the attack of the Thunderbolt Chariot, Li Ru felt that the city wall was constantly shaking and might collapse at any time. The general of the bodyguard stepped forward and advised: "Sir, the city is in danger, please leave quickly."
Li Ru angrily rebuked: "In the face of a great crisis, how can we retreat easily? I should work with the soldiers of the three armies to face the enemy!"
After hearing this, the guards looked ashamed, and the blood in their chests boiled even more. Every sergeant and soldier in the army was full of enthusiasm, hoping to make a name for himself with one knife and one shot. Li Ru's words won the soldiers over.
He looked at the Xiliang army under the city, and his expression became a little determined.
No matter how high the momentum of the defenders was, the Pili Chariots were still releasing boulders one after another. Under Jia Rong's order, many Pili Chariots were controlled by soldiers and aimed their attacks at the city gate.
Awesome city, as long as the city gate is opened, no matter how many defenders there are, they will be eaten.
"Sir, it's not good, the city gate is cracked, and it looks like it will be blasted open by a huge stone soon." The gatekeeper general hurriedly climbed onto the city wall and said to Li Ru.
Li Ru was shocked and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to carry stones and other materials to fill the city gate. The city gate was sealed and Jinyang completely turned into a dead city. This was also the reason why Li Ru was unwilling to issue such an order before. The city gate could be blocked at any time.
Being able to open it is a great convenience, whether reinforcements are coming from outside the city or escaping. Since Jia Rong came to Jinyang City in person, Li Ru also knew that his life was difficult to save. Even if he escaped from the battlefield, the world would be so big.
There will be no place for him.
Li Ru, who has no strength, can only become a pawn of other princes at most. He may take advantage of the power of the Xiliang army and offer his head to Chang'an. It is unknown. What's more, as a prince of one side, he can bend himself under the tent of others.
, bowed his head and obeyed orders, Li Ru asked himself how difficult it was to do this.
The poor defenders had to brave the rain of stones to transport the stones and other materials that they had worked so hard to carry up the city wall back to the city.
As the Jinglan approached, the defenders could see the soldiers of the Xiliang Army who were waiting at the Jinglan. These soldiers were covered in heavy armor. It was hard to imagine whether they could be killed with a sword or a gun.
The ladder soldiers moved and ran desperately towards the city wall. The Xiliang Army's most violent attack began. No matter how advanced the weapons were, the opponent blocked the city gate. If you want to enter the city, you must attack the city wall. Of course
, Advanced weapons can minimize the losses of our own soldiers. Otherwise, we will use ladder soldiers to go up. Our side will face a dense rain of stones from the defenders. The soldiers on the well railing can just stand firm on the city wall.
Provide opportunities for ladder soldiers.
The Thunderbolt Chariot slowly withdrew from the battlefield. In the melee, the Thunderbolt Chariot's accuracy was still somewhat poor. It accidentally hit one's own soldiers, which had a great impact on morale. On the battlefield, unless necessary, few generals would understand
Order your own soldiers to attack Paoze.
A series of ladders were firmly erected on the city wall, and the wells were also close to the city wall. The soldiers on the wells pulled out their swords and killed the defenders on the city without hesitation. As soon as they landed on the city wall, there were three or four weapons.
If they fall on them, these attacks will only bring about a surge of energy and blood. The Huanshou Sword in their hands can quickly kill an area.
The blood was flying, and the defenders were constantly being killed. The soldiers on the well were constantly attacking the city at night. Dozens of heavy infantry were enough to open up an area on the city, making the defenders on the city unable to rest assured.
He shot and killed the Xiliang army on the ladder.
Li Ru looked at the slowly approaching Jinglan with a gloomy face, but there was a hint of helplessness in his heart. The opponent had such soldiers. In a hurry, he hurriedly ordered his guards to start fighting against the Xiliang army who had attacked the city wall. Not only
It was the defenders on the city, and even the teams prepared in the city began to move closer to the city.
There are more than 30,000 defenders in the city. Even if the Xiliang army is brave, it is impossible to capture it in a short time. Li Ru uses soldiers to suppress it and finally withstands the first wave of Xiliang army's attack. Watching
The densely packed corpses on the city made my scalp feel numb. It seemed that the siege of the city in the hands of the Xiliang army turned into a battle with the defenders on the city. The defenders relied on the advantage of the city wall to disintegrate the enemy's attack under the city.
The ratio of casualties between the defending side and the attacking side should be one to three.
Li Ru felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. With the cover of Pili Chariot and Jinglan, the opponent's soldiers could easily scale the city wall, and the defender's advantage was completely diluted.
The power of the First World War was also widely spread among the defenders. Some people who did not believe that the Xiliang Army could have such brave soldiers at first became convinced after today. As early as the beginning of Jincheng, many soldiers said something
Regarding the offensive methods of the Xiliang Army, most of the soldiers in the army at that time thought that the defeated soldiers were looking for excuses for themselves, so they did not take it seriously. Who knew it was true, and many generals and soldiers were also worried.
