From the very beginning of this battle that was destined to be bloody, Wen Conglong's order revealed naked cruelty.
Didn't Wen Conglong know that doing this would bring him notoriety? It's not like his army didn't have food and pay. He wouldn't stop fighting for three days. Even though he captured Sanchuankou and achieved a military victory, he wanted to completely suppress this army.
The resistance of a piece of land is also something that lasts for many years.
Obviously, this is a waste of money.
However, Wen Conglong had no choice. The continuous plundering had made this army no longer satisfied with the normal military achievements. The reward from King Yong seemed to be a lot. It was distributed to everyone. It was insignificant and not as good as his own.
It's a lot to grab once.
Without a thorough reform, it would be difficult for this army to restore military discipline. With a war imminent, is it possible for Wen Conglong to adjust military discipline? If the combat effectiveness is affected and a rout occurs, who will be held responsible?
Therefore, Wen Conglong had only one choice. This force was not just a double-edged sword. In fact, even the hilt of the sword had sharp barbs. Those who wielded it were defeating the enemy.
Before that, you have to go through a tough time.
The soldiers were excited and cheered, but they didn't know that Wen Conglong was already planning how to propose military reforms to King Yong.
Don't treat everyone as a fool. Wen Conglong's ability to compete with Wu Yi is definitely not based on a single life experience. King Yong would not let such a vase come to power.
Amidst the rumbling drums, and under the suppression of catapults and artillery, the troops began to charge. It was said that they were charging in formation. In fact, everyone wanted to climb to the top of the city as soon as possible, and there was no formation.
However, such a team is actually more intimidating and insists on the so-called winning formation. In the end, the gains outweigh the losses.
On the top of the city, arrows were flying and falling on the shields, making a tinkling sound. If they passed through the gaps in the shields and landed on people, they would bring a rain of blood.
In addition, these small countries did not know what means they used to obtain rare artillery. They set it up on the city top and fired "bang bang". Because the city head was higher, although the small countries had fewer artillery.
, but the range was farther. One shell, I don’t know if it was luck, landed on the artillery position of the Daji Dynasty, and basically destroyed the artillery of the Daji Dynasty.
Even so, the small country had artillery, but not many corresponding artillery shells. After a few rounds, the fire went out, and the war returned to the primitive cold weapons.
The attackers smashed into the city gates, climbed up the ladders, and carried out the method of ant attack. The entire city wall was densely packed with people, while the defenders either pushed down the ladders or poured down golden juice (i.e., dung water).
After cooking it, pouring it on your body will almost kill you.
The wails, screams, and shouts of death continued for a day without stopping. During this period, the Daji Dynasty attacked the city many times and was pushed down again. Many people finally managed to get up and were forced to jump down.
, he fell so hard that all his muscles and bones were broken, even if there was a flesh pad underneath, it was of no use.
In addition, the small gate under the city was invaded by small enemy troops from time to time. There were also cold arrows shot out of some holes. Some generals who led the charge died under the cold arrows.
On the first day of the war, both sides were evenly matched, with no outcome in sight.
After all, it is the last line of defense. If it collapses in one battle, then these small countries deserve to perish.
Three days later, the fighting continued and the anxiety continued.
The daily casualties are more than a thousand people. The most uncomfortable thing about this kind of siege battle is not death, but the pain of wanting to die but not being able to die. There are many smooth wars, but this kind of war that faces death still makes some
The soldiers murmured in their hearts, how long will this war last?
Another ten days have passed, and the two cities at Sanchuankou have become several times more difficult than expected. After the daily bombardment by catapults, some city walls have been blown down, and huge gaps have appeared in the city walls.
Whenever you thought you were going to capture the city in Hexi, supplies suddenly arrived from the city in Hedong. The opponent was engaged in a war of attrition, a protracted war. If nothing else, this location was beneficial to them.
The huge consumption of the multi-day war, the endless battle lines, and the lack of attention to logistics maintenance before gave Wen Conglong a headache. The advance was too fast, which was not a good thing.
Continuing to delay is definitely not a good thing, it is self-destruction. Wen Conglong made up his mind and once again mobilized in front of the battle, "taking the lead" and led the army to attack.
After half a day of endless hard fighting, the city in Hexi, with half of it collapsed, was finally captured by Wen Conglong.
However, a new problem posed in front of Wen Conglong. Except for the materials that the enemy had no time to destroy before retreating, this city in the west of Hexi was an empty city without even a mouse.
After half a month of hard fighting, is this the only thing we got in the end? Many soldiers were dissatisfied because Wen Conglong promised before the war that he would not be allowed to use weapons, but now he was not even qualified to use weapons.
As a result, they clamored to continue the attack. Although Wen Conglong knew that it was just an attempt and would most likely fail, he was still prepared to let them give up and did not refuse.
The other side has the danger of a river. The water flow is very fast at the place where three rivers converge. We have tried for several days without making much progress. It is basically a catapult contest between the two sides.
Although Wen Conglong longed for fame, he also knew the reality. The reality was that logistics no longer allowed him to continue the offensive, so he decided to take a rest.
What Wen Conglong did not expect during this break was that soldiers in the military camp would go out to plunder every day. After the nearby villages had almost robbed the land, they had no choice but to go further away. As a result, every day in the military camp, soldiers
There are fewer and fewer people and horses, and they even stay out at night. There is no military discipline at all.
It is impossible for Wen Conglong not to know this, but he was no longer able to suppress it. There was no gain in the long battle. Instead of letting the soldiers grow dissatisfied, it was better to let them vent.
However, such laissez-faire ruined the last bit of reputation of the Great Extreme Dynasty. With the instigation of spies from small countries, the fire of uprisings started burning everywhere.
Wen Conglong originally wanted to use the opportunity of rest and recuperation to rectify his logistics support problems. Unexpectedly, the more rest and recuperation took place, the more difficult the logistics became. After being robbed of food and grass by soldiers, many people were forced to go up the mountain to rob the army.
After the logistics were reduced, the soldiers continued to go out to rob, thus forming an almost endless cycle.
It was an endless cycle that could not be solved. If Wen Conglong retreated his troops and contracted the front line now, there might be a turning point, but he didn't.
Ever since, there is no suspense about the outcome of this war.
