Chapter 1337 Sweeping the rear(1/2)
On June 13th, another routine siege,
This time the main attack direction was changed to Nancheng.
The outer layer of the outer wall of the outer gate of the Wengcheng had already fallen off, the door panel was burned, and the soldiers of Daliang rushed into the Wengcheng and fought bloody battles with the enemy soldiers gushing out of the Tibetan soldiers' cave.
The soldiers of Jicheng were defeated, so they put down the winch, closed the doors entering and leaving the Tibetan Bing Cave, and locked a few of their soldiers and Liang Bing outside.
Ten thousand arrows were fired above the urn city, and finally shot all the two sides on the spot.
When Mu Yugen looked down from above, he saw corpses stacked and the smell of blood was disgusting.
On both sides of the porcelain city, Liang army came with the south wind.
It was still the old routine. The trench truck was first raised, lowered the door panel, filled the road, ditch, and trench, and then sent the cigarette truck and ladder truck to go up, launching a rapid offensive.
Behind them, people carrying soil and sifting soil are everywhere. The high platform is built inch by inch, which makes people feel upset when they look.
Li Chong personally came to the south of the city and the governor's army attacked.
Occasionally he would turn his attention to the commander of Yan King Shao Yu.
Li Chong saw this boy's progress in recent times.
At the beginning, the King of Yan was in a hurry and even lost all the trouble. For example, on the first day, he served as a companion, and there was also a south wind, but he forgot to distribute the cigarette car. He remembered it after the front team set off and immediately added the group. Although the sheep were repaired, there was always some disagreement. Of course, whether the cigarette car was sent or not was a small matter. That thing was really useless. It can only be said that it was better than nothing.
Today, he has written everything on paper.
Good, it doesn’t matter if you make mistakes, it’s great to know that you can correct them.
When the world is in chaos, the sons and nephews of various princes often lead troops to fight at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Who can not make mistakes? As long as you can continue to make progress, you will be able to do it by the age of thirty or forty.
After watching for a while, Li Chong began to inspect the camp.
After so many years of war, although he was unwilling to spend a lot of lives to win, he would not hesitate when it was time to consume it. He was too pure, so he only considered military issues in many cases.
After he left, a shout broke out in front of the formation.
Li Chong did not look back. He knew that it was Ding Zhuang who was captured from the wilderness and Hu Han. Although he was not particularly familiar with the defenders, there was also a situation where he had a relationship.
These people shouted at the scene, urging the defenders not to work hard for the "Donghu".
You farm, he grazes, you eat millet, he ate milk, everyone is not the same person, and they fight around, but not many Xianbei people die, but Han people fall down one by one. It is better to surrender, and we all wave our swords together to slash at the Xianbei people.
Well, strictly speaking, this is a bit in line with the purpose of "both the barbarians and the Chinese" today, but Li Chong would not consider these things, he only thought about how to win.
After arriving at the camp, Li Chong focused on inspecting the cavalry camp.
When a mixed infantry and cavalry unit set up camp, it was okay to say that the construction and management of the cavalry camp was the most complex and the most challenging skill.
First of all, you need to approach the water source or dig more wells, because the cavalry demands a lot of water;
Secondly, the camp gate should be wide to facilitate entry and exit, but it should be set to be more tortuous to prevent people from rushing in;
The open space in front of the camp should be level and open, because the cavalry jogged, ran quickly, and charge required distance;
The fence should be covered with mud to prevent fire, because horses are more likely to be restless, and—
After checking, Li Chong was very satisfied. He asked Guo Shi, the servant of the Yan Prince's Mansion who accompanied him, and said that it was taught by the emperor himself.
So there was nothing to say.
Today, there are great experts in using cavalry, and everyone is convinced, and there is nothing to say.
After leaving the camp, the battle ahead has become increasingly fierce.
A stream of Youzhou Miscellaneous Hu soldiers could not support him and collapsed. The cavalry on standby in the rear rushed up immediately, with arrows falling like rain.
The men cried and turned around again, rushing towards the city wall.
The cavalry tied the reins of the horse, jogged for a lap, and returned to the starting position.
The battle continues.
*******
On the south wall, the general Muyu, who was in the city's Damuyu, was hit by a trapeze and shouted to fall to the ground.
Old warriors all know that "rifty arrow" is the most fucking scary thing on the battlefield.
It is not aiming at you at all, and there is no way to guard against it. As long as you appear at that place at that time, congratulations, you are hit by the trap, and you don’t even know who the arrow was originally intended to shoot and where it shot out.
Mu Yu Ni was shot directly into the eye, blood flowed, and was carried down by four personal soldiers.
The city was in chaos. At the critical moment, Ling Yangjing, the doctor of the Yan Prince's Mansion, rushed up with more than a hundred people, fought against the Liang people who stepped onto the city, and fought to the death. Finally, with the help of the archers on the city tower and the soldiers who came from reinforcements from all over the place, he barely defended it and was not broken through on the fourth day of the siege.
Mu Yu Ni was carried onto a carriage, and his personal followers gathered, crying along the street.
The Xianbei nobles opened the gate of the courtyard and silently looked at the bloody mud on their heads and faces.
"Get out! You are all greedy for life and fear of death and are unwilling to fight hard." Mu Yu Ni's nephews waved their horse whips and dispersed a team of infantry who were about to come to change their defenses.
The infantry were basically servants of the rich clan. He was a little angry when he heard this. Someone cursed: "I have been guarding the city for four days. Except for hundreds of cavalry who died on the first day, who fought the battles behind?"
"If you want to be greedy for life and fear death, I think you Xianbei people are afraid of death! Only a few people are on the top of the city?"
"If you have the ability, don't wash your horses all day long. Go to the city to have sex with Liangren. Let's see how many days your crocodile legs can hold you."
Siege battles are different according to intensity.
The most ferocious one is the common "urgent attack" in history books. In this case, the siege party does not care much about casualties.
Taking the city as the first goal. Correspondingly, casualties on the defending side will increase sharply.
The Liang people lost 3,000 people on the first day of the fierce attack, which was absolutely no less than "emergency attack". The intensity was slightly reduced in the next three days, but it was still very fierce, and the defenders were really unable to bear it.
After the casualties were severe, the anger came up. I ignored my previous concerns and felt happy first.
Mu Yuni's nephews were in a bad mood, not to mention that not all the Xianbei people were cavalry. These people have always been in the main battle of infantry. When they heard the other party's scolding, they immediately retorted and even pushed.
Ju Yun, a member of the shogunate, took his Qingzhou Township Party to the vicinity. Seeing this, he immediately stepped forward to persuade the fight. Finally, he promoted everyone, and a crisis disappeared.
But he sighed a little.
Things were a little bad, and the defenders were gradually divided into two distinct groups, Han and Xianbei, which was not a good thing.
It has only been siege for four days, and I have to guard it for dozens of days next, so I have to find a way to solve it quickly. If it really can't be solved, then I can only do it.
"!" The nobles who had just opened the courtyard door to watch the fun all retreated.
Ju Yun glanced at them and thought to let these Xianbei cavalry attack at the right time, otherwise, if they were dragged on, they would not know what would happen.
This is the embarrassment of Yan State, and no force is absolutely dominant.
You say there are many Xianbei people, and they are not much more. The 200,000 Central Plains people who flocked to Pingzhou at the end of the Jin Dynasty had already occupied a large part of the household registration of Yan State.
You say there are fewer Xianbei people, that's not true. The tribes are still more than Han people, but they don't live near cities on weekdays.
If you want to say who is stronger and who is weak, it is not good to say. Many wars with the Yuwen Xianbei, Goguryeo and even the Duan Xianbei were fought by scholars and generals, and they fought very well. At the critical moment, when the Xianbei people were hesitant, these native generals dared to fight, let alone break the battle of the three families' sieges. Murong led the Han tyrant infantry as the main force.
This is how this country has always been. Everyone feels that they have made great contributions, and there is not enough time to get in. At least there are not many cases of intermarriage between tribal leaders and native people in the Han area.
If this problem is not solved, the country's foundation will be unstable. Thinking of this, Ju Yun felt that Shao Xun has always mentioned "Evening the Chinese and Chinese peace" and encouraged intermarriage between the two parties, it makes sense, at least he is trying to solve the problem.
"This is a mess!" He sighed inwardly, and took his hometown party to Xicheng to change defense.
*******
Near the northern end of Yiwujian Mountain, hills and valleys are crisscrossing and densely covered with mountains and forests.
Such a terrain is actually not suitable for large-scale cavalry charges, but what if both directions of battle are dominated by cavalry? For example, the Yuwen Xianbei and the Murong Xianbei? Then there is nothing we can do about it.
She Yiyu (a She Yewan) glanced at the wild raccoon who was looking forward to it not far away and smiled, "Is the niece so anxious to defeat the thief? Let's go and meet the lover?"
Yeli ignored him and continued to look at the undulating terrain ahead.
She Yi was a member of the Yuwen clan. He was considered her uncle by generation. He was brave and powerful, and was the father's confidant.
He has a high status, so he obtained a separate city in the Zuoleshui area as his residence.
The Twelve Yuwen tribes lost consecutive battles in the war against the Murong family. Few had the courage to face the Murong cavalry. She Yiyu was one of them and had won several small victories. Even the Murong Xianbei had heard of She Yiyu's reputation for being brave.
A few days ago, they saw sheep's feces in the wild, and then saw someone going out to pick them up. They concluded that a Xianbei tribe must have been hidden nearby, so they summoned more than 10,000 cavalry and rushed over to prepare to round up the hiding tribe.
However, the Xianbei people were not vegetarians, so they found them halfway, so they gathered their troops and started an encounter at the northern foot of the Yiwujian Mountain.
Both sides invested only more than 3,000 cavalry, and the battle was very fierce. Perhaps in order to defend their homeland, the Xianbei people fought to the death. The Yuwen cavalry, who was slightly more numerous than theirs, could not support it and was about to lose.
She Yiyu was anxious to see it, and immediately called the last three hundred riders on hand, got on the horse, greeted the wild raccoon, and rushed down the hillside.
The war horse under Yuwen Yeli's arm sniffled uneasyly. She comforted her gently for a moment, and then continued to stare at the battlefield.
Uncle Sheyiyu was indeed brave. Everyone in the tent was wearing armor. After breaking into the formation, they rushed straight to the Xianbei people and turned their horses over Yuwen Yeli and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She subconsciously looked to the northwest, and the "Hengchong Camp" of the Shanyu Protectorate of the Liang Dynasty was rushing towards this.
Their main task now is to search for the locations of the various tribes of the Murong Xianbei.
If he encounters a large group of people, he will immediately notify the camp to recruit the envoy. He is holding the Yi army, Youzhou cavalry commander, The Diao Camp and other elite troops, ready to launch a large-scale cavalry battle with the Murong family at any time.
If you encounter a small tribe, then fight first, fight if you can beat it, and if you can't beat it, you can tie it up. Then gather more troops and fight less.
It doesn't matter if you can't win. What's important is that these Xianbei people are panicked and cannot echo the Murong in Jicheng, and even in turn affect the morale of Jicheng's army, one by one, their own tribes were beaten. If you don't believe that those people can still sit still.
The battle ahead soon came to an end.
To be continued...
