Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Two: Two Tigers Fight
Just as Yun Zhao dispatched troops and was about to seize this rare opportunity to take the initiative in Yizhou in one fell swoop, a great war began in Daxian County.
Yao Changkun led 10,000 elite troops to assist Madian. While they had just launched an attack on the simple troops that besieged Madian, in brief, the 20,000 elite main forces of the Jian family army led by Zhou Guangyi and the 50,000 newly recruits launched a thunderous attack on Daxian County. At the beginning of the war, the Jian family army was unstoppable and easily swept through all the royal defense lines outside Daxian County. The development of the war was as if it were briefly estimated before the war. The remaining troops in Daxian County were completely vulnerable. They took Daxian, and then rushed to Xingling, and Yizhou could decide to fight.
Within ten days, the battle advanced to the bottom of Daxian City. Here, briefly describes the first time I encountered strong resistance. I was unable to make progress after three days of connection. Even if I briefly describes that I was dispatched to attack the city wall, I failed to climb the city wall.
"General Jian, something is wrong!" Zhou Guangyi looked worried. "In theory, after leaving Yao Changkun's 10,000 main force, Daxian would not have such strong resistance even if he took the initiative to give up the peripheral defense line and shrink his troops."
Briefly, he looked down at the map on the desk, pondered for a while, and raised his head and said, "How about simple things?"
"Yao Changkun led Wang Haogu's old army. Although there are more than 40,000 people there, except for his own thousands of his own lineage, the rest are all the new moves, how can I stop Yao Changkun after being beaten backwards and barely defend the defense line."
"We must take Daxian before Yao Changkun defeats Jian, otherwise Yao Changkun will return to the army and come to help, and we will be in trouble." Jianshu stood up.
"I should have been asked to go to Madian at the beginning. I was just young. This time the battle in Madian was a sure defeat. I was afraid that he would be affected by this." Zhou Guangyi sighed.
"How can you grow without defeating a war? Guangyi, how many defeats you and me have ever fought? An excellent general grew up from the defeat. Although this battle will definitely be defeated, it is not dangerous. As long as we take Daxian here, there will be nothing wrong with him. Let him appreciate Yao Changkun's command art. Let's go to the front line to see who the left-behind generals in Daxian are. Very capable. After the city is broken, see if he can capture him alive? Such a person can be recruited for his own use."
"I don't know, the flag on the top of the city is still Yao, and I don't know if it is Yao Changkun's son and nephew." Zhou Guangyi smiled. "I'm afraid it's difficult to recruit him. General Jian, do you want to command the siege in person today?"
"It's been a long time since I came to the front line to command such a battle. I don't know if my skills are unfamiliar, so I will practice my skills today!" Jianshu laughed. "Let's go, Lao Zhou."
Briefly describes the arrival of the front line. The Jian family army suddenly had a thunderous joy. The dense sound of war drums told the attacking team that their highest leader had already visited the front line and was watching them behind their backs. The shouts of the Jian family army, whose morale was greatly boosted, rushed straight towards the city wall, and rushed toward the sea.
The siege clouds were shouted and pushed closer by soldiers. These siege towers were about twenty meters high and not much lower than the city wall. Each was made of giant wood. At the top, there was a platform that could accommodate about twenty people. The railings around the platform were covered with iron plates. The soldiers were invisible and controlled crossbows, powerful crossbows, and bows and arrows to suppress and shoot the city to cover the infantry carrying the ladder ants attached to the city. Dozens of siege clouds were like thousands of soldiers. The arrows of powerful crossbows and bed crossbows were roaring one after another.
There is no inferiority above the city. Hundreds of crossbows are lined up. After the battlements, they aim at these siege clouds and shoot in a concentrated manner. A siege tower is usually hit by dozens of such crossbows, and if the soldiers above are not removed quickly, all the people will die. Fortunately, this kind of siege cloud is very easy to fight. Once one collapses, there are still a lot of materials to be reused. The carpenters are busy working hard for a while, and a new siege will stand up again.
"Climb the city wall!" Zhou Guangyi shouted excitedly. The brief appearance was like giving the siege army a shot of a siege. The soldiers fought for the first place and soon opened a gap at several attack points. Groups of soldiers climbed up the city wall along the ladder and jumped into the city.
"Da County is about to be broken!" Zhou Guangyi slapped heavily and shouted happily. These soldiers who siege the city were the old foundation of the Jian family army. In Zhou Guangyi's view, as long as he climbed the city wall, in this short-term chaos, it would test the soldiers' individual combat ability and ability to withstand the cruelty of the war. After Yao Changkun's elite, these soldiers of the royal army who had lost the protection of the city wall would never be able to withstand the impact of the Jian family army in such hand-to-hand combat.
The city wall seemed to feel the danger, and there was a panic. From a distance, you could see soldiers running quickly, wanting to support the broken-out place.
"The other party's dispatch is in chaos!" Jianshu's mouth showed a smile.
Seeing that the city was about to break through, the sound of golden drums suddenly sounded on the city. With the sound of horns, teams of soldiers in black armor suddenly surged up from the horse path of the city and rushed straight to the broken place.
"Wang Haogu's personal soldiers!" Zhou Guangyi shouted in disbelief. The two of them were very familiar with this unified army wearing black armor. They were the personal guards who directly belonged to Wang Haogu. "How could they be here?"
Summary of the smile on his face disappeared instantly, he pursed his lips tightly, staring at the city wall.
The offensive and defensive momentum in the city reversed instantly, and there were not many soldiers who killed the city. Before they could stabilize the occupied territory, they rushed to Wang Haogu's personal soldiers who had been replenishing their strength for a long time, and suddenly collapsed. Most of them were killed on the city head on the spot. Seeing that there was no way out, more people turned around and rushed up the city wall. When they closed their eyes, they jumped down from the city. If the city wall was dozens of meters high, it would be too strange if they didn't die.
With the sound of drums, there were more and more black-clad armored soldiers appearing on the top of the city. The city wall, which was just now full of danger, was as stable as a rock in the blink of an eye, and the troops siege retreated like a tide.
Atop the city, there was a golden drum and a golden sound. A big flag with a character named Wang suddenly rose up at the top of the city tower and fluttered in the wind. Under the banner, a burly Wang Haogu, who was wearing a big beard, appeared there with a smile, holding a knife with one hand and pointing at the big flag with a character named Jian in the distance in front of the other, with a proud expression.
The golden drums of both sides suddenly stopped, and suddenly changed from extreme noisy to extreme silence.
"Wang Haogu!" Zhou Guangyi bit his lip tightly, "So he is here!"
Suan Shu's face was extremely ugly, and he slowly rode his horse and walked forward. "General Jian!" Zhou Guangyi shouted, Suan Shu was as if he had not heard of it, and he still rode his horse and walked forward, and he walked not far from the city.
"Brother Jian, don't you come well?" Wang Haogu laughed and said, "Brother, I've been waiting for you here for a long time. I didn't expect you to appear after several days."
"Brother Wang is so calculating!" Jianshu raised his head, his face regained normalcy. "It turns out that he knew what I want to do, brother, I really admire him."
Wang Haogu laughed, "You and I have known each other for decades. What do you, Brother Jian, want to do? Even if I don't know for a while, I can always figure it out if I think about it more. Brother Jian, since I have appeared here, you have no chance of winning. How about it? My door is still open to you now. As long as Brother Jian is willing to join, I, Wang, are willing to pay any price."
"Can you exchange your head?" Jianshu sneered.
"How can you give it to someone at will?" Wang Haogu smiled and said, "Brother Jian, do you still have to hold on to the plan now? You have already lost this battle."
"Yan Shengsui is too early to say this. But it seems that Yao Changkun defeated Jian first, or I will take Daxian first. Over the past decades, we have performed martial arts countless times, but we have never fought with real swords and guns. Today we can get what we want!" Jianshu raised his right hand.
"Mr. Wang is waiting for the big trip! Please!" Wang Haogu clasped his fists.
Briefly, staring at the other person for a moment, turning around and walking back into the formation by horse.
The next moment, the offensive and defensive battle in Daxian immediately entered a white-hot stage, and neither side could afford to lose. If Daxian lost first, even if Wang Haogu escaped, he would be like a dog of a broken family. He would simply lose it. A brief description would be that he would face the attack of Yao Changkun, Huo Zhenting's coalition and Wang Haogu's troops. He would probably not even be able to withdraw from Yizhou City. Even if he withdrew from Yizhou City, how could he defend Yizhou City with all his elite troops? Even if he could barely defend Yizhou City, the defeat of this battle would make Yizhou people lose confidence in him. How long can he last if he was favored by the people?
Both sides had red eyes at Madian and Dacheng forged desperately forcing each other, and they completely forgot that beside their bed, there was a ferocious tiger peeking at them, and had quietly stretched out its sharp claws and exposed its shackles.
In fact, it was not that both sides did not know Yun Zhao's strength, but in their opinion, the Anqing army is still a little tiger without strength. Even if they have ambitions, they will only temporarily restrain their edge. In this battle for Yizhou, Yun Zhao was at best just a corner. No one expected that Yun Zhao had the same thoughts as them and woven a large net, silently covering the two of them.
Madian, with a hard support, Yao Changkun's attacks went one after another. The wheel-style attack method did not give a simple breathing opportunity. This fatigue tactic is extremely deadly for the recruits. In Madian County, Huo Zhenting was also waiting for an opportunity to attack. Although he was blocked by Simple every time, it involved his great energy to block Huo Zhenting from Madian, and use this to attract Yao Changkun, delaying time as much as possible, and gaining more time for the brief description of the capture of Da County. (To be continued...)!~!
