Zhao Kang only felt that there was some trouble. The combined strength of both sides was 400,000, and they were still adding reinforcements. What kind of concept was this?
You must know that this is not the age of firearms in later generations, where most enemy troops can be eliminated in one round of fire coverage.
This was a confrontation of cold weapons, with both sides fighting face to face with real swords and guns.
Zhao Kang could imagine that at this moment, people all over Xuzhou were attacking and defending the city, day and night.
It's no wonder that Jingguo's current Jizhou and Yanzhou forces were defeated by the Qi army.
Xiao Feiyu's army pinned down all the main forces of Jing State. Under such circumstances, Jing State did not have any extra troops to resist Qi State.
even!
Zhao Kang squinted his eyes and murmured, "Isn't this guy trying to use Qi's help to destroy Jing?"
"What did you say, Imperial Master?" Gao Yuan was startled when he heard the word Mie Jing.
Zhao Kang said, "I think that the army led by Xiao Feiyu is just to contain us. His real purpose is to let Qi State break through Huajing City as quickly as possible!"
Gao Yuan was stunned and then thought about Zhao Kang's words, and nodded after a moment, "It's very possible. Although there are many enemy troops in Xuzhou, seven-tenths of our Jingguo's troops are now invested in them. They won't be able to defeat them for a while."
If we come down, even if we win in the end, we will both lose."
"But the Qi army in Jizhou has never encountered any strong resistance, and they have captured most of the city in Jizhou steadily."
"If this continues, I'm afraid in the end, our army will no longer be able to stop the Qi army from advancing!"
"It seems that the commander of Qi Army will have to deal with it more harshly."
Zhao Kang smiled coldly and looked at the direction of Jizhou marked on the map.
He was not in a hurry to let the Suzaku Army lead artillery to Jizhou for support.
Although the cannon is powerful, this thing is too
Being bulky and not very maneuverable, the Suzaku Army was previously taken away by Wu Yu with five thousand Divine Thunder Army.
There are only 25,000 people now. Sending these 25,000 people to Jizhou is no different from sending food.
The power of artillery can only be exerted under the protection of sufficient troops.
Otherwise, if the enemy's cavalry rushes forward, the artillery will become a liability.
"Secure Shilin City first and push back the enemy troops in Yizhou," Zhao Kang said.
Gao Yuan nodded, "Then I will take the people and set off now."
The army set off from Yuncheng. Zhao Kang did not hide anything along the way and let the troops march as fast as possible.
Arriving at Shilin City four days later, such a high-profile move naturally attracted the attention of the Jin generals.
But the Jin leader didn't care about this. The more people in Jingguo were restrained by him, it would be the best thing for the overall situation.
"It seems that the wave of defenders who arrived at Shilin City a few days ago is the vanguard of this army. Send the order to continue the attack on the city. We must break through Shilin City and conquer the land of Cangzhou before tomorrow!"
After the order was issued, the Jin soldiers began to attack the city desperately, and the routine of gunpowder barrels blowing up the city gates reappeared.
But fortunately, Wu Yu had been reminded by Zhao Kang early and had no intention of saving grenades.
As soon as the enemy launched an attack, the five thousand divine thunder troops stationed at the top of the city would frantically throw grenades down below.
For a time, the explosion in front of Shilin City made the ground pockmarked, and the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom were blinded.
Although they are not afraid of death, it is too scary to be killed by such a bomb.
Under the threat of grenades, many enemies
The army showed signs of cowardice, and the Jin general was so angry that he finally used the supervising team.
Either rush up and get killed by a grenade, and with good luck, you can enter the city.
Or be hacked to death by the war team as a deserter!
Wu Yu also had a headache under this completely lifeless fighting style. Fortunately, Zhao Kang didn't embarrass him for too long and arrived with his army.
"How's the situation?"
Climbing to the top of the city, Zhao Kang glanced at the enemy troops below. This was the first time Zhou Long, Sun Fang and others saw Jin people, and they couldn't help but be curious at this moment.
Zhou Long, who was born as a sharp archer, had excellent eyesight and said, "Why do these guys look like savages? They are so tall and powerful. What did they eat to grow up?"
Zhao Kang chuckled, "They are meat eaters all year round."
Only then did Wu Yu reply, "This is the seventh attack today. These guys don't seem to know how to write the word "death" at all. They don't even let them breathe."
A sharp arrow shot through the air and hit an enemy in the head. It could accurately hit the enemy's head from a distance of 150 steps.
This arrow was naturally made by Zhou Long. He drew the bow and took the second arrow and sneered, "Just because you're not afraid of death doesn't mean you won't die!"
Zhao Kang laughed and said, "You're right. There's no need to save ammunition. Just blow up these inhumane guys to death!"
When he heard that these foreign barbarians were using the people of Jing State as military food, the shock and anger in Zhao Kang's heart was indescribable.
He had only read about this kind of thing in books. History books often describe this behavior with words such as "Reckon Man" and "Two-legged Sheep", which make people's hair stand on end just by looking at it.
Unexpectedly, it happened before his eyes now.
In his opinion, these guys have completely lost their humanity, so there is no need to say anything harmful to the world.
ten thousand gods
When all the Lei troops arrived, two rounds of grenades were thrown out, knocking the enemy soldiers, who were still fearless of death, to their backs and pissing them off.
Zhou Long also led the 6,000 archers of the White Tiger Army to kill the enemy with projectiles.
Compared to the Qian army, this group of Jin soldiers were undoubtedly inferior in terms of equipment.
The weapon is nothing more than a scimitar, and there is no armor at all. The only thing on his body is some sheepskin.
An originally aggressive siege was suppressed by Zhao Kang with thunderous force, and the enemy's morale was greatly damaged.
When the general who commanded the troops learned of this situation, he was furious to death!
"I don't believe it! The whole of Yizhou has been captured, but you still can't take down your little Shilin City? Give me the order, and the left and right armies will come together to besiege the target city. Whoever breaks through the gate first will be rewarded with ten thousand gold!"
As Wu Yu half said, there is no breathing room at all.
Even at night, the enemy troops attacked tirelessly in order to prevent the gate of Lion Forest City from being blown open.
Zhao Kang asked Li Goudan to carry the cannon to the top of the city.
After a round of bombardment, even the supervising team was unable to use it this time.
You can't fucking see anything, you can only hear the rumbling explosions, and people are gone. Who can not be afraid of this!
After four consecutive days of offensive and defensive battles, the dead man could no longer stimulate his nerves.
Even Zhao Kang was a little surprised by the determination of this group of enemy soldiers. There were corpses everywhere outside Shilin City.
Many of them are in fragmented blocks, and people have long been numb.
Watching the rising sun, at the time agreed upon with Gao Yuan, Zhao Kang said in a deep voice, "Sun Fang."
"exist!"
"Mo Dao team is in front, and the spearmen are in formation, leaving the city to meet the enemy!"
