Chapter 1646 Siege
Tens of thousands of King Qin's troops, led by Zhuge Di, roared and rushed towards Sanghabula City. The fire that shot up into the sky in the distance was reflected in their pupils, and they all looked as if they had seen the heaven-defying feats!
Zhuge Di rode his horse, flanked by generals from King Qin's division. He shook the reins and approached the representative of the Tang army, and asked loudly: "Your Excellency is the captain of the Tang army. Do you have any ingenious strategies for destroying the city?" , please give me your instructions!”
Who doesn't know that the Tang army is powerful?
Zhuge Di's words were loud, not even soft. The surroundings were filled with the roar of horse hooves and the excited whining of soldiers. How could he hear them clearly? So the generals around him heard what he said, and they all slowed down Ma Su slightly, waiting for the Tang Military Colonel's answer.
This kind of strength is not only the sophisticated equipment and the bravery of the soldiers, but also the flexibility of tactics.
At this moment, there is a Tang military captain by his side. It is natural to ask about the strategy to break the city...
The captain of the Tang Army was riding on a horse, with a stern and expressionless face. His straight waist rose and fell with the bumps of the horse's back, and he said loudly: "Why do you need a clever strategy? The rebels are sweeping the royal city, and they must kill brutally to stabilize the situation. The people in the city suffered terribly. We want to eat the flesh and blood of the rebels! The rebels are cruel and unethical. We raise troops to serve the king. As the saying goes, we must use the right to defeat the unjust. This is the law of heaven and we will never win!"
Zhuge Di secretly nodded, his side was just and right, the right way defeated the unjust, how could he not win?
But the generals around him were confused.
What does it mean?
These people are from powerful families in various places. Many of them cannot even understand Chinese. They have even heard a few books written by Han people. How can they understand?
Someone who could speak a few words in Chinese asked: "What does the general mean? How should we arrange our troops?"
The captain of the Tang Army grinned and looked back at the tens of thousands of soldiers who were like a flock of sheep. How could this rabble be arranged in formation?
You know shit about the formation...
Hearing a phrase that Fang Erlang liked to say in the past, he subconsciously said: "What kind of soldiers are you arranging, what formations are you setting up? Just rush forward without risking your life, and that's it!"
These generals were even more confused... Just do it and it's over. What do you mean?
But I understand the last sentence of "charge forward without risking your life". Think about it, we have tens of thousands of troops here, and the rebels in the city are only ten thousand at best. They have to spread out to guard the city gates. As long as we concentrate our troops and attack fiercely, How can the rebels resist when they attack one place?
As long as they can rush into the city, the rebels are like snakes in a basket. They seem to be jumping happily, but in fact, they can stew, roast, and knead them as they please?
After hearing this, everyone is more morale!
To the east of Sanghapura City is a plain. Tens of thousands of troops roared past like passing locusts and rushed straight to the city!
Zhuge Di drew out a long sword and pointed it at the sky, shouting sternly: "For Lin Yi, for the king, charge!"
"Charge!"
"Charge!"
Countless soldiers rushed towards the city wall densely, with torches lighting up the path under their feet. Each one of them held a variety of weapons in his hands and charged like a desperate man!
The captain of the Tang Army slowly slowed down his horse and fell behind with Zhuge Di and several generals. He looked at the Sangha Buluo City in flames from a distance, shook his head slightly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and showed a somewhat disdainful smile.
With such a ragtag group of people, Fan Zhenlong actually tried to use them as an enemy to the Tang Dynasty?
This is not an army at all, they are just a group of bandits who came down from the mountain to rob homes and houses...
If the Tang army were defending the city at this moment, they would just need to keep firing arrows at the top of the city, and they would be able to kill the Linyi army who lacked armor protection like cutting wheat. The charge would not stop, the arrows would rain continuously, and they would kill as many as they came!
But where can Lin Yi have so many strong bows and crossbows? The few bows and arrows on the top of the city had no power at all. The arrows were shot down from the top of the city and pierced into the bodies of the soldiers. The braver ones would pull them out as soon as they reached out, and then continued to charge with howling like normal people...
< br>
Countless soldiers rushed to the city like leeches. Some of them carried giant trees to hit the city gate, and some simply swarmed to the city and piled on top of each other, constantly climbing up the city wall.
I have to say that Linyi people still have advantages, that is, they are dexterous, their bodies are light and flexible, and they can jump up to three places like a monkey by stepping on the shoulders of the person in front, putting their hands on the gaps in the city wall. The height of four feet...
*****
On the city tower, Jia held his sword with one hand and stared at the soldiers pouring in like a tide from the city with a solemn expression.
This is an army of tens of thousands. Even if most of them are slaves of wealthy families from various places who have not been trained and have little fighting ability, it is not tens of thousands of ants. Once they rush into the city, even one person can give him a battle-hardened army. The elite army killed...
Must hold on!
As long as they persist until the Tang army comes for reinforcements, these rabble-rousers will be like chickens and dogs, capable of killing at will!
Jia Du drew out his sword, raised his arms on the city tower and shouted: "The enemy is invading, so hold on to the city wall! We killed the king, massacred the city and looted, which is already a capital crime. Hold the city wall until the Tang army comes to help, you guys." It’s the honor of the founding of the country, and if you can’t keep it, you will be slaughtered like a pig or a dog! Tell me, do you want to die?”
"I don't want to!"
The guards on the city shouted in unison.
Who would want to die?
Rebellion and rebellion are always a matter of choice. Whether it is active or passive, the current situation is that as long as these diligent king's troops are defeated, the throne of the general will be secure. Everyone will sit in a row to eat the fruits, and they will be rewarded based on their merits. Officials and nobles; once the city wall is breached and the city is invaded, everyone will inevitably die, and no one will let them go.
These rebels were all trained by Jiadu. They had experienced many battles with Zhenwa and other countries. They were indeed much more elite than those of King Qin. Now facing a desperate situation, their morale suddenly burst out!
"Very good! Follow me to kill the enemy, fight for your life, and fight for your future!"
Jiadu jumped from the city tower to the city wall to kill him. With a sword in his hand, he split a soldier who climbed up the city wall into two pieces and shouted: "Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The rebels all had red eyes. Their instinct for survival and longing for the future made them burst out with amazing fighting power. They rushed to the city wall desperately, and used the weapons in their hands to attack the enemies who climbed onto the wall.
If one attacks from top to top, it will be difficult for his weapon to exert force, and his feet will be unstable; if one is waiting for work and is condescending, the result can be imagined. The rebels held the city wall firmly, attacking and cutting down one by one. The blood stained the blue bricks red, making the wall slippery, making it even harder to attack...
Zhuge Di rode his horse and stood behind, watching King Qin's troops rushing to worship like a surging tide, but they hit their heads on the city wall and were bleeding. They climbed up to the top of the city one by one, only to fall down one by one and screamed. The companion who followed him was trampled to a pulp, his face suddenly turned pale, and his hand holding the reins trembled slightly.
He had no talent, let alone any ambition. He was suppressed by Fan and his son, but he never thought of resisting. Anyway, he had food, shelter, drink and fun, so it was just fine to just wait for death.
It wasn't until the people of the Tang Dynasty came to him and heard that the position of king of Linyi was easily available, that Zhuge Di was moved and had the extravagant hope of "fighting for it and being comfortable for the rest of his life"... However, the tragic scene of blood and flesh flying in front of him, But he almost scared away all his extravagant hopes...
"Well... why not pause the siege and let the soldiers come back to have a rest?"
Zhuge Di secretly wiped the sweat from his palms, looked at the Tang Military Colonel, and asked in a low voice.
"Absolutely not!"
Not only the Tang military captain, but also the generals stopped him this time.
The Tang Military Academy captain said: "The morale is like a rainbow now. If we attack the city with all our strength, we can achieve great things. If we withdraw for repairs, our morale will be low, and then it will decline and be exhausted. It will be ten times more difficult to capture the city wall again than it is now!" ”
Zhuge Di swallowed and said, "But too many people have died..."
This time, there was no need for the Tang Military Colonel to speak. His trusted aide took a few steps closer and said, "If a general succeeds and a thousand bones are withered, what does it matter if a few people die? As long as you can break into the city, the throne is yours. This is a big deal! Besides, although these soldiers are obeying your orders now, once the city is defeated, they may not do anything dirty..."
Zhuge Di was shocked and said with shame: "It was my lack of thinking that almost missed the important event!"
People's hearts are apart, you are the nominal leader now, but once you enter the royal city and the overall situation is determined, who knows if someone will be greedy enough to fight back?
"Captain, I wonder what's going to happen with the Tang Army's support?" After thinking about it, Zhuge Di, who was getting more and more guilty, was already a little panicked. What if these Qin Wang's teachers refused to obey the discipline and turned against him? ?
The Tang military captain sat upright on his horse, with a sneer on his lips, and said perfunctorily: "Just come, just come..." (End of Chapter)
