(Second update, a little late, but there are more words, please vote for it)
On February 7th, when the sky was bright, Zhao Jinlong, the rebel general who surrendered to the captives, divided his troops into four groups to attack the West City and the North City. They attacked the city and captured the gates, attached the walls and captured the buildings. At one time, thousands of rebels were dispatched to support the carriages and cave houses.
Cars, trench bridge cars, ladders, and nest cars rushed to the foot of the city.
Use ladders to build a wall, and dozens of people are attached to it. There are dozens of ladders in the North City. Five or six hundred people are involved in attacking the gate tower of the North City at one time. If you retreat, you will die. The sword of the supervising team will not be soft on you just because you are one of our own.
Standing still would mean death. The falling logs and rolling stones from the city wall were like a flash flood. If you rushed forward, you might not die if you could stand firm. At this juncture, you could only bravely climb the ladder and rush upward.
The archers among the soldiers who were good at shooting, under the cover of the shield bearers, pressed against the base of the city and raised their bows to shoot at the defenders at the entrance of the crenellated wall. The soldiers of the prisoners spent time in the past few days to build several nest carts. The nest cart is a stick
Takagi raised a hanging tower high into the air, level with or even higher than the city head. The archer stood in the chariot and took a crossbow to shoot at the city head.
The rolling logs and rolling stones at the top of the city were all brought up after demolishing the houses and allowing craftsmen to make some modifications. The auxiliary soldiers picked up the rolling stones and rolling stones, pointed them at the ladder, and stood at the heels of the ladder to protect them.
The soldiers or rebels who were trying to escape the ladder were smashed hard. The elite armored soldiers at the top of the city were standing ready. Some of them were specialized shield bearers, holding shields to protect the auxiliaries and other soldiers. The other soldiers were waiting for the enemy to climb up the ladder and expose the entrance to the wall.
Then give him a fierce counterattack and kill him.
According to the requirements, the crossbowmen also have three extra bow strings. Together with the one on the crossbow, there are four strings in total. In the past few days, there are many archers who have used all four bow strings. However, they are rough.
There is no shortage of horsehair and other items in the city, and the supply of bow strings is sufficient, but the supply of arrows is somewhat in short supply. I don’t know how many arrows have been shot in the past few days. Many archers’ arms are red and swollen, and there are only four small furnaces to melt iron.
If you work day and night to make arrows, you can make two to three thousand arrows of various types in one day, which is simply not enough.
Lin Fu had to give up the covering arrow rain suppression, and allocate the limited arrows to the archers and crossbowmen who were good at shooting, so as to interfere with the archers and crossbowmen firing cold arrows at the auxiliary soldiers at the top of the city.
A clear division of labor, instead of rushing up to pick up rolling stones and smashing them down, or using swords, spears and spears to kill the rushing soldiers and rebels, it will be more efficient to defend the city and kill the enemy. Even if the soldiers are given to the prisoners, it will be more efficient.
, the rebels rushed to the top of the city for a moment, there was nothing to panic about, just use the flying chariot to cover the counterattack of the elite soldiers, kill them and drive them off the top of the city.
There are no large trebuchets to break open the city wall. After all, the terrain at the top of the city is extremely unfavorable to the siege. Without elite soldiers, the morale of the rebels is low. It is very difficult to gain a foothold at the top of the city through ladders and ants.
extremely difficult.
No matter how many troops Mo Ji's headquarters lost at the north gate of Yangxin City, the city gate was damaged by the collision, and the inner guard wall collapsed, the north gate was still the weak point of Yangxin City. It was impossible for Zhao Jinlong to capture the north gate without sending out heavy troops.
To seize the North City Gate, the elite defenders concentrated in the North City Gate must be dispersed to various places. Zhao Jinlong not only intensified his own troops to compete for the West City and other parts of the North City, but also asked Mo Jiben to drive troops to attack the South City.
Dongcheng. In order to strengthen the attack power of Moji headquarters, Nahe Xiongqi also sent a small number of elite troops to attack the city with Moji headquarters. Even if it was ineffective, he still wanted to increase the pressure on Yangxin South City and Dongcheng, so that Lin Fu could not
Concentrating all the elites in Beicheng is the only limited method at present.
Lin Fu held his saber in his hand, like a rock, standing in front of the North City Tower, looking at the bottom of the tower. Hundreds of rebels surrounded dozens of cave-house cars, trench bridge cars, rush cars, and box cars coming towards the gate of the North City in a menacing manner.
.
Lin Fu personally guarded the north city, Ao Canghai guarded the west city, Ning Zechen guarded the south city, and the first battalion sentry general Liu Zhenzhi guarded the east city. At this time, the west gate, north gate and gate wall were all collapsed, leaving only the south gate and east gate.
Unfavorable for the enemy troops to deploy, it was still intact. After the west gate and the gate wall were destroyed, Lin Fu ordered the west gate to be blocked with wooden fences and bricks, leaving the north gate as an obvious weakness to attract enemy troops.
Attack, and then use constant and fierce counterattacks to weaken the enemy's will to attack the city. Generals Zhou Tong, Geng Quanshan, and Chen Dingbang took turns organizing counterattacks under the city.
Even if the rebels knew Lin Fu's intentions, they had to attack from the north gate. Compared with other places, the north gate is still the largest and most obvious weak point of Yangxin, and it is also the easiest to break through. It is as if
It is the only bridge leading to Yangxin City. Even if you know that you will encounter crazy interception by the defenders at the other end of the bridge, you can only crazily fill it with people until the moment the defenders can no longer support it.
Lin Fu squinted at the sky and saw that it was still early. He signaled to Zhou Tong and others below the city that they would have to fight repeatedly until dusk before they could let in some of the enemy soldiers.
Seeing no hope of capturing Yangxin City, the captive king Ye Jiduo and the captive general Na He Youqi would not take the elite soldiers in their hands. The captive soldiers Zhu Long were waiting in the camp and the fortress and would not move out.
, the counterattack here does not have enough power.
Cheng Weiyuan and Zhang Jinxian were both upstairs in the north city. It had only been ten days since Yangxin City was completely sealed off. They never expected that the offensive and defensive battle for such a small city as Yangxin would be so fierce. The soldiers mobilized from Donglu successively,
There were nearly 20,000 rebels and nearly 10,000 accompanying soldiers and civilians, all of whom surrounded Yangxin.
If the Donglu troops had divided their forces and marched eastward after capturing Jinan, almost all of their eastward troops would have gathered below Yangxin City. Cheng Weiyuan thought.
For such a small town, perhaps before the Jiangdong Zuo Army entered, a thousand-man troop of captives could have been attacked as long as they were determined enough. At this time, it finally attracted so many captives and rebels to attack.
Cheng Weiyuan really couldn't imagine how long the defenders could have persisted if it weren't for the presence of the Jiangdong Left Army. After the city gate was knocked open by the enemy soldiers from the outside, the defenders could have held on. But now, the north city gate that had been knocked open became a target for the captives and rebels.
In the cemetery, the blood that seeped into the mud has solidified and turned black. The gate trench has been filled with corpses, and the corpses are pulled out with long hooks. The filling of corpses is almost finished now.
*************
Although Zhao Jinlong did not sympathize with the arrangements that forced him to surrender to Donghu, the brutality of the siege still shocked him. No matter how intensive their attack arrangements were, the young man with green armor and red helmet remained unwavering on the wall. They
Although we took the cave car in the north city gate and built a barrier with the van, we couldn't push it any further.
Even if we continue to transport soil and fill up the gate-protecting trench, even if we clear the obstacles on the inside of the north city gate, we still have to exhaust the elite Jiangdong Left Army before we can be sure to completely capture Yangxin, the largest city at the moment.
The problem is that we don't know where the limits of Jiangdong's left army are.
Judging from the army's description of the siege in the past few days, the Jiangdong Left Army killed a large number of newly attached Han troops on the left, all using tricks and traps, and its own casualties were very limited. Zhao Jinlong also had no way of knowing the limit of the Jiangdong Left Army.
He didn't know how long it would take for the Dongzuo Army to fight before it couldn't hold on any longer. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to hold on until the time when the Jiangdong Zuo Army couldn't hold on anymore.
It would be best if the elite Donghu troops could dismount to support the battle.
Ye Jiduodi did not directly deny Zhao Jinlong's request, but if Zhao Jinlong's troops wanted to establish a foothold in the city, the elite Donghu troops on his side would immediately participate in the siege.
Zhao Jinlong forced Sheng Tianxi to personally enter the city gate hole to direct the trench filling and clearing of obstacles, and to open the passage to the city.
No one knows how strong the city's defenders are at counterattacking. Now they have barely managed to gain a foothold in the city gate. It is very likely that even a counterattack by the city's defenders will mean that none of the soldiers in the city gate will be able to survive. Sheng Tianxi
He was greedy for life and afraid of death, but Zhao Jinlong relied on the support of the Donghu people and did not allow him to bargain. He could only bite the bullet, take forty or fifty cronies, and use the cover of the cave house car to rush to the city gate cave.
.
The weather was cold, so baskets of soil were brought in, filled in with water, and soon became frozen, making it difficult for the defenders to dig out. Sheng Tianxi stood impatiently in the city gate and didn't care.
Will they offend the public and have them throw all the corpses on their side into the trench? One corpse is worth two baskets of soil. If all the corpses are used, the trench will be filled much faster, and there will be corpses on the trench.
The blood that kept seeping out was just enough to freeze the body firmly in the pit.
Watching the gate-protecting trench become shallower, Sheng Tianxi thought about what to do next: when the gate-protecting trench was filled up and people could pass through, he would immediately organize a large number of elite troops to rush in, so as not to allow the defenders to counterattack.
The chance of an attack did not give the defenders enough time to dig the gate trench again or directly seal the north gate.
Seeing that the gate guard trench was almost filled, Sheng Tianxi retreated behind the fort using the cover of a cave car. He was afraid that the strength of the impact of the surrendered Zhejiang soldiers alone was not enough to withstand the counterattack of the defenders, let alone
Make sure you gain a foothold inside the North City Gate and attack the North City Tower from behind, hoping that Na He Xiongqi can send hundreds of Donghu Jianrui to serve as the main force of his charge.
As long as the north city gate tower is captured, half of Yangxin City will be captured.
Na He Xiongqi also felt from the number and intensity of counterattacks by the defenders in the city that the Jiangdong Left Army was almost at its end. After all, they had been attacking day and night for six days and six nights. Lin Fu's troops were limited and he could not defend the city with such intensity.
In the battle, the Jiangdong Left Army would be exhausted even if it were an iron army.
Na He Xiongqi mobilized three hundred Dongs, Hu Jianrui and Sheng Tianxi, to get into the city gate hole, wait for the gate trench to be filled up, and rush into the city together. They found a foothold on the inside of the north gate, and they used their energy
He kept sending troops to rush in from the north city gate. He wanted Sheng Tianxi to open his eyes wider and not fall into the trap that Lin Fu had dug in the city again.
Zhao Jinlong felt that Yangxin was about to be captured. He believed in his feeling. The pressure from the defenders to the siege troops was very clear. Not to mention that they had already established a foothold in the North City Gate.
At the top of the city, the number of times the soldiers were snatched up the city from the ladder was increasing. Although they were counterattacked every time, the time they stayed at the top of the city was getting longer and longer.
This is a sign that Jiangdong's left army has reached the end of its strength.
The defenders directly confronting the city cannot show weakness. Taking a step back means risking their lives, and it means taking double lives to take back the lost city.
"The Holy General led his troops to rush in from the North City Gate, which will inevitably attract a large number of defenders on the North City Tower to block it. At this time, the city head has become the weak point of the defenders," Zhao Jinlong squatted on the ground and drew a schematic diagram with a thin branch.
, showed it to Sun Zhongwu and Zhou Zhizhong, two generals, "The moment the Holy General leads his troops to rush into the city gate, you two will personally lead the team. From here, here, use the ladder to go up the city wall. I will personally lead the team to support the Holy General."
.Only by exerting huge force from both sides of the city at the same time can the defenders who have been resisting until now be crushed in one fell swoop - I thought it would take three days to fight, but it seems that we can capture Yangxin tonight!"
Sun Zhongwu and Zhou Zhizhong did not want to go to the city, but they were afraid that Zhao Jinlong would take revenge, so they used Donglu's military law to chop off their heads first.
Na He Xiongqi asked Mo Jiben to transfer all the remaining elite troops in his hands to strengthen the offensive in Beicheng, and asked the deputy capital commander Gugeta to lead 2,000 dismounted and armored Donghu elites out of the camp to the northwest corner of Yangxin City.
The open space is on standby. No matter which one of Sheng Tianxi, Sun Zhongwu, or Zhou Zhizhong can gain a firm foothold in Yangxin City, Donghu elites must quickly follow up and capture Yangxin in one fell swoop to avoid the continued shortage of these newly attached Han troops.
Fight back the counterattack organized by Lin Fu...
The white moon was floating in the sky and the sky was getting darker, but it could be seen that today was a moonlit night. He Xiongqi felt that God was finally going to help him. This night was perfect for attacking the city overnight.
Ye Jiduo is going back to the camp to change dressings to treat his leg injury, but he will also be watching the battlefield here in the Zhulongfu camp.
At the northwest corner of Yangxin City and southeast of Zhulongpo, there is a small valley. It is the largest open area between Yangxincheng and Zhulongpo. It is 1,300 steps deep. Excluding the crossbows and stone crossbows,
This valley is still a thousand paces wide and can be used as a starting point to support the battles between the West City and the North City.
Mo Jiben used trenches and ice and earth walls to heavily seal the north and west gates of Yangxin, leaving only a narrow channel for dispatching troops. Unless the Jiangdong left army climbed down from the northwest corner of the city, they would attack.
Not here.
When it was getting dark, everyone felt that Yangxin City could be captured tonight. In this valley, 2,000 soldiers were gathered to fight, and 2,000 soldiers from Moji's headquarters were newly attached to the left of the Han army.
Sun Zhongwu, who was attached to the right side of the Han army, and Zhou Zhi's troops of 3,000 people, focused their attention on the North City Gate, waiting for Sheng Tianxi to lead his troops to rush into the North City. They divided their troops into two groups from the city head and the North City Gate.
They entered the city and attacked the defenders.
"Ah! Hi!" A muffled shout came from the north city gate, and the messengers rushed over on horseback: "We're in! The Holy Ginseng leader is leading the attack!"
Na He Xiongqi grabbed Zhao Jinlong's hand that was about to issue the command and said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute!" He needed to confirm that there were no traps in the city, he needed to confirm that Sheng Tianxi had a firm foothold in the city, and he needed to confirm that Sheng Tianxi was firmly established in the city.
Only by being able to withstand the first wave of counterattack by Jiangdong Zuojun can he suppress the chips of his men.
When Nahe Xiongqi saw the defenders at the top of the north city wall quickly moving down the city wall, presumably to strengthen the counterattack against Shengtianxi's tribe, the messengers rode over again: "The leader of Shengshen has occupied a wall in the city and requires immediate action.
Support! The defenders quickly gathered from the four cities to the north city, and the counterattack was extremely powerful!"
Na He Xiongqi's hands trembled slightly, and he was finally about to win. He ordered: "King Khan has an order: to capture the enemy's leader Lin Bing alive, those below the leader will be promoted to the third level, and those above the leader will be promoted to the first level. All will be rewarded.
Hundreds of gold! Let's go!" The seven thousand soldiers and horses gathered here immediately rushed toward the north gate of Yangxin City. When they approached the north wall of Yangxin City three hundred steps, two groups of soldiers and horses separated, holding dozens of ladders high like ants.
They were like a group attached to the north city wall, and the Qianbu Valley between the northwest corner of Yangxin City and Zhulongpo was filled with more than 7,000 soldiers and horses in a short period of time.
"Bang, bang..." Na He Xiongqi seemed to hear two strange sounds, and looked at the northwest corner of Yangxin City with vigilance, but among the howling sounds from their side that shook the mountains and seas, these two strange sounds were more like
It was an auditory hallucination. Just when Na He Xiongqi wanted to eliminate this strange noise from his mind, two holes were suddenly opened in the heel of the northwest corner of Yangxin City, and the sharp spear that first came out was like a poisonous thorn.
It plunged deeply into Na He Xiongqi's heart.
"Secret door!" Zhao Jinlong and Mo Jiben both screamed in shock! They had calculated everything, but they never expected that Lin Fu secretly dug two secret doors in the rammed earth wall in the northwest corner of Yangxin City and waited.
It was at this moment that I finally got through.
The nearly seven thousand troops here are fully deployed, most of them are rushing towards the North City Gate, and some are setting up ladders to attach themselves to the wall and rush to the top of the city. Countless people's eyes are either staring at the North City Gate or the top of the city. These two
The secret door was opened right at their waist, giving them no chance to adjust their formation or gather their troops. Hundreds of armored soldiers poured out from the two secret doors like tigers and wolves...
