On February 1st, the captive soldiers who besieged Yangxin City surrendered and the accompanying auxiliary troops, a total of more than 16,000 civilians, completed the siege of Yangxin City. In addition to the four city gates, a strong semi-siege was built each.
In addition to the trenches and ramparts, a large number of chest-high permafrost walls and various obstacles such as horse barriers were also built horizontally and vertically to prevent the elite defenders in the city from taking advantage of the chaos during the siege to leave the city for an assault, but also left behind those who could attack the city gates.
Troop dispatch channel.
Na He Xiongqi stood behind the fort, staring at the North Tower of Yangxin City like an eagle. The high shield covered the entrance of the North Tower so that they could not see the movement in the North Tower from outside the city. But Lin Fu
There was no doubt that he regarded it as his command shed, and he had to seriously speculate on Lin Fu's possible strategy for defending the city.
The Lin Fu in front of him was probably the most outstanding Southern Dynasty general that Dong Hu had encountered since the founding of the country. In Nahe Xiongqi's view, Lin Fu was not even half inferior to Su Hu, the Marquis of Jingbei in the Southern Dynasty.
If the Southern Dynasty had not cut off its own arm and killed the entire Suhu clan, Donghu's situation would have been much more difficult than it is now, and it would have been even less possible for him to win a strategically decisive victory like the Chentangyi victory.
Nowadays, Nahe Xiongqi is always frightened every time he recalls the brutal battle of Ningjin. At that time, he was about the same age as Adoji, and he was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. Under the command of King Tianshun Khan, he stormed Ningjin Fort with ten soldiers.
With double the force, they besieged the defeated army who fled into Ningjin Fort in a hurry, but they continued to attack for a month without being able to capture it. King Tianshun Khan was also seriously injured when he was hit by a stone-throwing crossbow from Ningjin Fort in this battle, and had to withdraw from the siege.
Subsequently, several battles were lost, and the princes and ministers almost convened to withdraw completely from Liaodong.
Nahe Xiongqi sighed slightly. Fortunately, he had survived the most difficult days, but now Ye Jiduo Dy asked him to oversee the siege. This responsibility was not light. If this battle was to defeat the Jiangdong Left Army again, he would not
He went back to see King Khan.
Although Na He Xiongqi prefers to besiege rather than attack, with the speed of the Han army and auxiliary troops to build an ice and earth wall, even building an ice and earth wall four thousand steps long is not difficult, and only a small number of cavalry is needed to cooperate and submit.
The Han army can tightly surround Yangxin City, but this is no longer something he can decide.
Since we want to attack Yangxin by force, we can only spend our money.
Na He Xiongqi knew that the possibility of seizing the fatal weakness of the Jiangdong Left Army and defeating it in one fell swoop during the siege was extremely slim. He wanted to completely give up this illusion, and also asked the generals to give up this illusion. In addition to this
, and also to prevent Lin Fu from seizing on the weaknesses exposed during their attack on the city and sending elite troops out of the city to counterattack. In addition to blocking the city gates, he also wanted Mo Jimo to build another half on the two wings connecting Zhulongpo and Yangxin West City and North City.
Encircled trenches were built to facilitate the cavalry to gather for attack, and half of the cavalry were required to be ready to dismount and put on armor to fight.
In addition to ladders, he also asked Mo Jiben to lead the Han army and auxiliary troops to collect local materials and work day and night to build large shields, rams, vans and other siege equipment that could block the team from approaching the city. In addition, he asked the third prince Ye Ji
Duodi sent a messenger to find King Khan. Even if he could not bring Zhao Jinlong, the right capital of the Han army, to Yangxin, he still had to escort more strong men to Yangxin City.
More than 300,000 young men were captured this time through the border crossing. No one knows how many will be lost when we return to the north. In short, there is nothing to cherish, especially those prisoners of war, who will just use them to consume in Yangxin City.
In his heart, He Xiongqi planned to use young men to supplement the surrendered Han troops who might suffer huge losses in the siege battle. Even if it only consumes the defenders' arrows to beat trees and roll stones, it is meaningful.
Lin Fu, Ao Canghai, Ning Zechen, Zhou Tong, Geng Quanshan, Chen Dingbang, officials from Yangxin County, General Yuan Jianhai, Zuo Tanggui, Ye Youren and others from Prince Lu's Mansion stood in front of the Beicheng Tower.
, under the protection of the high shield, looking at the enemy fortress outside the North City.
"The soldiers are divided into four gates to defend. Our defenders should concentrate their forces from one gate and defeat them one by one..."
Lin Fu looked back and saw that it was the officer from Prince Lu's Mansion. Ye Youren, the chamberlain, thought he had read a few military books, so he started talking nonsense and said with a smile: "Officer Ye knows how to attack each one. Lin can do it."
Send an elite team to follow Ye Dianguan out of the city to defeat them one by one. Lin is here to watch Ye Dianguan return from his exploits..."
Ye Youren was only good at talking, but he didn't have the courage to lead troops out of the city to fight. Lin Fu blocked him like this, and he didn't dare to interrupt anymore. When he escaped from Jinan, he was really frightened and pissed himself, and he fled with a smelly smell.
When I came to Yangxin, I just couldn't help but say something mean. Lin Fu's bad reputation made him angry. Not to mention swearing, if he threw himself from the city, wouldn't he be asking for his own death?
Generals Ao Canghai, Ning Zechen, Zhou Tong, Geng Quanshan, and Chen Dingbang all smiled after hearing Ye Youren's words. The soldiers have completely controlled the battlefield outside the city. If the city gate is opened here, the message will arrive in the shortest time.
Among them, when they go to the military tent, where can they leave enough time and space for them to attack it in various ways?
That's not how it works on paper.
Lin Fu would not pay attention to a clown like Ye Youren, but he still wanted to give some face to Prince Lu's palace. Looking at the deployment of the soldiers outside the city, he frowned slightly. The Linqing rebel general Mo Jiben was afraid of death.
He surrendered to Donglu after the war, but he was not a mediocre and incompetent person.
Under the command of Mo Jiben, the preparations for the siege of the soldiers outside the city were carried out in an orderly manner, faster and more complete than expected. Looking at the subordinates of the soldiers, they all wanted to set up their formations for an upright siege.
, this requires a lot of effort!
Lin Fu turned back to Yangxin County Lieutenant Cheng Weiyuan and others and said: "From tonight, the Yangxin defenders and minyong will be divided into four teams and take turns to guard the city wall. The Jiangdong Left Army, Jinzhong Army, and Shaowu Army will also take turns to go into battle——
This battle is more difficult than imagined. If our military orders are given, those who refuse to go to the city or those who evacuate without permission will not be pardoned!" He then told General Yuan Jianhai, "The guards of Prince Lu's Mansion are also guarding the city.
Naturally, we have to detach our troops to the city to assist in the defense. What do you think, General Zhenguo?"
Lin Fu's voice was not loud, but he had a majesty that could not be rejected by others.
Yuan Jianhai's face turned green and red for a while. Normally, Lin Fu had no command over the guards of Prince Lu's Palace, but there were only sixty or seventy guards who escaped from Prince Lu's Palace. Yuan Jianhai didn't know that if he refused on the spot, Lin Fu would
Will they order all the guards from Prince Lu's Palace to be tied to the top of the city to serve as human shields?
At this time, Yuan Jianhai couldn't say that the battle to defend the city had nothing to do with the guards of Prince Lu's palace. In any case, as long as Lin Fu didn't want him to go up to the city to defend the city, it would be easy. Even if he wanted to die, the guards would die first. He said in a low voice: "
If Inspector Lin makes this arrangement, then we will obey Inspector Lin’s arrangement."
"Listening to Ye Dianguan's discussion, he is also a man who knows the military. If the guards of Prince Lu's Palace go to the top of the city to help guard, then please ask Ye Dianguan to take charge of the guards of Prince Lu's Palace!" Lin Fu said, "My military law for running the army, I think Ye Dianguan is
Clearly, do you want Lin and Ye Dianguan to give additional instructions?
Ye Youren only felt that his legs were weak and he couldn't help but pee and wanted to leak out of his crotch. He never thought that Lin Fu was a villain who was bound to take revenge. At first, he only followed Zuo Tanggui in Prince Lu's Mansion and said a few bad words about this kid. He
In retaliation, he went to the city to defend the city himself!
Staring at Lin Fu's cold eyes, Ye Youren didn't dare to say no. Lin Fu had just made it clear that anyone who refused to go to the city would be killed. He didn't want to test Lin Fu's will with his own body.
Military law, give Lin Fuzhao a demonstration.
Seeing that Ye Youren had no objections, Lin Fu said to Ao Canghai: "Incorporate the guards of Prince Lu's Mansion into the guard order of the North City. This battle cannot be successful unless the enemy is the same enemy - annihilate the enemy under the city, military merits will be rewarded, and the history will be remembered.
It's a good name!" Then he told Geng Quanshan and Chen Dingbang, "Although no further news has come to the city, I have carefully checked the military status in the past two days and found that many of the Zhejiang soldiers commanded by Zhejiang General Zhao Jinlong are from Hao.
Haozhou, a military household in the prefecture, has been captured by the bandit Liu An'er and Chen Hansan... Zhao Jinlong may have defected to the Eastern captives at this time. The war in Yangxin is fierce, and the captive king is likely to mobilize Zhao Jinlong's rebel troops to attack.
Yang Xin, by then, the siege battle will also enter its most intense stage..."
February 1st was also the deadline for Ye Jiduo Dy to order the siege, although the preparations were not very complete. In order to make Ye Jiduo Di look good, after nightfall, Nahe Xiongqi also led the surrendered Han troops to attack Yangxin City.
Carrying out a tentative attack is also to test Lin Fu's defensive deployment in Yangxin City. He can make targeted adjustments outside the city.
Besides, there is no way not to attack the city. Generally speaking, the entire Yanji Plain will begin to break away from the ice in late February. Even if they are the rear troops, they will have to retreat by the end of February at the latest.
To the south and east of Yangxin, there are raised hilly land masses with some mass burials and large forests. Although the terrain is lower than Zhulongpo, it is more complex and is closer to Yangxin City.
The space left to deploy troops was very narrow, completely within the range of crossbows and stone-throwing crossbows at the head of the city. Neither the South City nor the East City were ideal locations for siege. The Yangxin Offensive and Defense Campaign officially started from the North City on the night of February 1st.
,Xicheng unfolds.
Although there is no moon in the night sky, the stars are sparse, there is shallow snow in the fields, and there are campfires far and near. This light is enough to attach the wall and attack the city.
Hundreds of soldiers who surrendered to the Han army came out from behind the siege, pushing carriages, holding large shields, and carrying large shields made of collected thick door panels and coffin panels, with dozens of young men wrapped around their shoulders.
The crashing wood rushed towards the north gate.
The city gate is always the weak point of the city defense, especially the city without urn city. It cannot withstand a few heavy knocks by someone with a thick wooden hammer. Since the Donglu invaded the border, they have destroyed more than 30 gates in a row, and most of them are
After breaking into the gate and seizing the city gate, they then used brave and skilled warriors to enter the city and capture it.
The top of the city did not care whether the young men were under duress. The beams and pillars were shortened, and the rolling stones rained down. Taking advantage of the enemy's unsteady position, the armored soldiers in ambush at the city gate rushed out from the suddenly opened city gate. For
The Jinzhong Army and the Shao Wu Army hated these rebel generals for surrendering their troops. They even turned their anger on the civilians who had been coerced to accompany the army, and they were ruthless in their attacks.
Na He Xiongqi stared at the battlefield behind the siege. The surrendered Han army only rushed in through the city gate. The opening was very narrow, and he was attacked from the top of the city. He was basically in a passive situation. Lin Fu was in the city.
There are two to three thousand elites here. If they only attack the north gate, they don't even think about entering the city for a year. They must carry out multiple attacks to disperse and consume the elite defenders.
Nah Xiongqi called Mo Jiben and asked him to not only attack the four city gates of Yangxin in one day, but also attack the north and west cities of Yangxin in the northwest of Yangxin where troops were deployed.
Since breaking through the border and joining the invaders, Azig has also participated in many siege battles. Except for Jinan City, which was slightly fiercer, Yangxin was the most troublesome. Perhaps the city defense tactics of the Southern Dynasties cannot be underestimated.
