Chapter 483 The barbarian army outside the city of Xianyang, the capital of Qin
When Su Lu was woken up, it was already broad daylight.
The battle in Beishan City is still going on. The guards led by Hua Xun and Zhao Wu are still fighting in the city. The guards led by Lu Zhan not only captured the ordnance brought by the Taixi people from the west, but another guard also captured the Taixi people's Flying Bird Battalion.
Even the nest is over.
"It's a pity that we still didn't get the intact birds, they were all destroyed by the Taixi people."
Su Ge, who was sorting out military reports, said this with a tone full of regret.
Because the new type of flying bird failed to be developed repeatedly, most of the craftsmen in the Ordnance Department were sent by Su Lu to make the new type of ballistae. Su Yun returned to the capital angrily, asked Li Qing for help, and developed the new type of flying bird in the capital.
However, due to the lack of talents with experience in flying birds, Su Yun's development progress was very slow. He wrote many times on the front line, hoping to get the complete new flying birds from the Europeans.
Su Lu drank the porridge and ordered: "The Taixi people have suffered a lot from us because of the loss of flying birds. They must be very strict with flying birds now. It is really not easy to get new flying birds."
"Pass the order, the gang leader is making rice in the pot. The war should be over. Let the soldiers eat and have a good rest."
Su Ge was startled for a moment, but he still said: "The battle report just came in. General Hua Xun has attacked the Bell Tower and has only conquered half of Beishan City. It will take a few more hours to fully descend Beishan City."
As he said this, there was a noise outside. Two bloody guards came in from the outside, kneeled on the ground, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, General Hua's troops have occupied the west city. A small group of Taixi people fled, and most of them were wiped out in the city."
Su Lu nodded and gave instructions: "Okay, I understand. I'm sending an order to General Hua Xun to collect the sergeants and let them rest."
"Go down with the order, move the camp, and enter Beishan City."
Su Ge glanced at Su Lu in surprise. The prince had mastered the battle situation so meticulously that he knew in advance when it would end. He was worthy of being a famous general.
Su Lu, however, looked at the cards in front of him that were all in a cool down state, and felt very melancholy. It was only because the Taixi Infantry Army and the Bird Army fought together, and he played all the cards, that he broke the opponent's military formation.
The barbarian soldiers are much stronger than the Taixi infantry. If the barbarians and the Taixi birds cooperate, the cards in my hand may not be enough.
We still have to land on the new flying birds, but unfortunately we still couldn’t get the new flying birds in this battle.
"Prepare the relatively intact flying bird and transport it back. Let Su Yun lead people to dismantle and study it to see what the difference is between the flying bird we developed and these flying birds."
Su Lu told Su Ge that the next battle would be in Xianyang, the capital of Qin. Xianyang was a big city, and there would definitely be more Thai and Western troops and barbarians stationed there, so it would be impossible to attack by force.
How to fight? Su Lu also felt a little melancholy.
Su Ge went out to deliver orders, and only Su Lu was left in the camp.
Su Lu called out the cards and carefully studied the cards in his hand to see how to match them to achieve the combined effect and defeat the Taixi bird soldiers.
Level 2 crossbow artillery troop card.
It still has to land on the head of the crossbow artilleryman.
Su Lu looked at the defense map and thought to himself that the only thing he could get to coordinate with the infantry was the crossbow artillery.
It seems that we need to train more crossbow artillery soldiers. If we can reach level 3, I think the crossbow artillery soldiers will be more powerful.
After resting in Beishan City for half a month, the Han army set off and rushed to Xianyang.
Along the way, we never encountered any barbarians staying in Qin. Because the Han army was famous for killing all the barbarians, the few barbarians did not dare to stay in the war zone and all retreated back to the city.
After breaking through several small towns, the three Han armies finally gathered at Shanyang City, a hundred miles south of Xianyang City, on the agreed date.
In the temporary camp, Cao Hua pointed to the unfolded defense map and talked about the current situation.
"Xianyang City is fifteen miles in length and breadth, and the city wall is twenty feet high. There are barbarians, Taixi Infantry, Feiniao Battalion, and the newly reinforced Taixi Crossbow Artillery stationed in the city. The number is about 30,000."
"The barbarians are responsible for the garrison in Dongcheng. If I remember correctly, the young barbarian leader Xiaolun Gongbu should be leading the barbarian soldiers. After the battle in Fangcheng, this kid disappeared. It turned out that he fled to Xianyang.
Already."
"Nancheng is a Taixi garrison. There are not many people there, about two guard camps. However, there are Taixi crossbows deployed here, and there are a lot of them."
"Beicheng is also defended by the Taixi people, but there are not many troops here and there are no defensive equipment. I guess that the Taixi trebuchets should be in the North City."
Qian Buzhou held his chin and said: "Commander Commander, this battle is not easy to fight. The walls of Xianyang are strong and we have no flying birds. It is really difficult to break the city."
Hua Xun grinned and said: "Old Qian, you are trying to make other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige. Beishan City is also a strong city. We have not broken the city. No matter how strong Xianyang is, it will still be guarded by someone. As long as it is
He is a human being, and the commander-in-chief has a way to defeat him."
Zhao Wu also shouted: "Hua Kuangshang is right, we are afraid of nothing. It is the barbarians and the Westerners we are afraid of."
Inside the camp, all the generals had bitter smiles on their faces. The barbarians are afraid of us. These two barbarians who only think about fat may not know that what the barbarians like most is our meat.
At the same time, the east gate of Xianyang City.
The barbarian military and political forces came out of the city in an endless stream, and all kinds of ordnance were thrown everywhere. The trebuchets and ballistae were all thrown away, and their spare parts were thrown everywhere.
Duke Joseph, the supreme commander of the Western Expeditionary Force stationed in Xianyang, stood at the top of the city, looking at the barbarians who were leaving the city in a steady stream, and said with a serious face:
"The quality of these barbarian soldiers is so poor. When marching and fighting, they even throw their weapons and equipment everywhere. They are really useless."
"Pass my military order and order the barbarian soldiers to form a team and pack up all kinds of ordnance before leaving the city."
The deputy general went down to deliver the order.
Not long after, the deputy general took the small wheel of gongbu and several barbarian generals to the top of the city.
Joseph's face was full of smiles and he said with a smile: "Young patriarch Xiaolun can lead his army to attack at this critical moment and fight the Han army. The young patriarch is worthy of being a barbarian warrior. He dares to do things that others would not dare to do."
Xiaolu Gonbo looked at Joseph in surprise. When will I take the initiative?
Yesu Buze's grandson escaped and told me that the commander of the Han army was Su Lu. He was invincible in every battle and conquered in every attack. To fight Su Lu was something only a fool could do.
Xiaolun Gongbu felt the same way. Most of the warriors he led were lost at the hands of Su Lu of the Han Dynasty. Now, with the help of his father's order, he has gathered these many defeated troops. They are not using them to fight against that madman Su Lu.
Working hard to survive.
Withdraw your troops. Before the Han army arrives, withdraw your troops first.
Su Lu, no matter how strong you are, how can you defeat me if I don't meet you face to face?
"My lord, I am here to inform you that our troops are ready to withdraw. Xianyang cannot be defended. Please think twice, sir."
Joseph praised Xiaolun Gongbu for a moment, and looked at Xiaolun Gongbu in confusion. What, you are not going out of the city to fight the Han army, but running away!
"Asshole, you are a deserter, a deserter!"
Joseph cursed angrily.
Xiaolun Gongbu chuckled: "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. I am turning in. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. I can't defeat Su Lu. I retreated temporarily just to preserve my strength. What a deserter. What are you doing?"
