Chapter 259: Crying (Part 2)
Chapter 259 Crying (Part 2)
Yanmen County. Late at night
The dark city walls stand tall, and the red bonfires can be seen everywhere.
In the severe winter, even the army must have a bonfire. The shifts are changed every four hours, and the soldiers replaced are crowded around the bonfire.
The soldiers held spears, bows and knives, and the soldiers were flickering under the bonfire. The soldiers were roasting the fire and roasting the cakes hot.
On the city, teams of soldiers were constantly patrolling the city.
Several lieutenants surrounded Tian Wang and came to the city tower.
Tian Wang followed the general back then, and now he is a general, no longer more majestic than before, but over the past few years, his appearance has become older.
My originally healthy body has suffered from several injuries in recent years and is busy with affairs.
However, even so, Tian Wang, who had been in a lifelong war, was still hard.
Although Liangzhou has poor land, it has a vast territory. It is a place for horse production and a route for trade. It only occupied a short period of time and made up for part of the Qin army's losses in taxes.
The Qin army he led was not afraid to say that it was elite in a hundred battles, with at least 10,000 soldiers, and 70% of the veterans who had been on the battlefield were enough, which was enough for a defender of the city.
Previously, someone in Tian Wang's camp advised Tian Wang that it would be best to temporarily recruit male men from counties and counties. The locals were brave. Instead of recruiting the Hu people to attack the city, it would be better to take it for themselves.
Tian Wang felt that it was great and so he recruited male soldiers from the county and received another 30,000 soldiers.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the recruitment was completed, the Hu army in Yanchi County braved the heavy snow. The county towns in front naturally could not stop the Hu people's attack, allowing the Hu people to march straight into Yanmen County.
However, due to the lessons of the past, the county town is under strict security, so it is impossible for the party leading the way to make trouble again.
The war has not begun yet, just a few frictions.
The Hu people and infantry and cavalry were mixed together, and it could be seen that there were only about 5,000 Hu people inside, and there were about 10,000 Han people surrendered, and finally tens of thousands of people were escorted.
Looking at the continuous camp in the distance, Tian Wang couldn't help but feel a little confused.
The information already known is that because of the large amount of food being fed to horses, there was a natural shortage of food, so Baru was crazy and drove the surrendered army and tens of thousands of people to attack.
It is naturally the best to be able to conquer. If you can't conquer, you will die tens of thousands of people, or there will be a new army, and the food pressure will be emptied.
In addition, only five thousand Hu people came, but the number of people driven was nearly 30,000, which made Tian Wang not dare to underestimate it. Thinking of the current situation, Tian Wang's face became solemn.
In the night, the city was already very quiet, and a group of soldiers walked up to the top of the city at this time.
"General, when it's time for the change of duty, you should rest!" While Tian Wang was thinking, a general behind him suddenly reminded Tian Wang and said.
"Is this time already?" Tian Wang came back to his senses. At this moment, several teams of soldiers walked up and changed posts with the previous soldiers. Tian Wang looked at him without saying a word.
This was his order. In order to maintain enough vigilance, he had to change the guard twice every night, so that the soldiers guarding the city had enough energy to guard the city at night, and others also had enough energy to prevent the Hu people from siegeing the city.
"Let them all be alert. The Hu people are cunning and may attack at night!" Tian Wang looked outside the city and shouted in a deep voice to the people around him.
Everyone answered, and after changing the guards on the city, the tranquility returned to its original state.
Only the people's breathing sounded softly in the city. When Tian Wang looked at the soldiers behind him, he felt a little relieved.
These soldiers brought to Liangzhou are considered elites under Tian Wang. If Tian Wang can become a general, he has some capital, and these veterans have the greatest capital.
Most of these soldiers have participated in the battles of pacifying Qinchuan, and are not new soldiers who have not experienced the baptism of the battlefield. Although they cannot be called powerful soldiers who dominate the world, they are definitely considered powerful soldiers!
Although the Hu people are brave and cruel, if such a team is fighting, Liangzhou may not fall into the hands of the Hu people.
At this time, the night was already a little deeper. As the head coach, Tian Wang could not stay at the top of the city. So when someone advised him again, Tian Wang agreed to go back and rest.
During the day, the two armies had a confrontation, but neither side had any advantage. Depending on the situation, unless these people died, the enemy would not retreat. Even if they retreated, they would have to come again tomorrow in March.
At this time, Tian Wang felt a little tired. It was time to rest. Only when you had a good rest could you continue to command. This matter was not careless.
The Hu people are cunning and should not be careless at all.
"Give orders, patrol soldiers be careful, soldiers have a good rest, and we will fight back the Hu people tomorrow!" Tian Wang said to the general who followed him, paused, and said to another person: "No matter who is in the city, those with abnormalities will be killed!"
This is a purge of the party leading the way, and the man responded sternly: "Yes!"
At the same time, in the continuous Hu people's tent, a large silver tent stood out from the crowd, and the personal soldiers were densely packed in front of the tent.
At this time, there were many generals in the tent. The center was a rough-looking Hu man wearing golden armor, which was particularly eye-catching, but His Highness Balu was giving orders.
"Listen, after dawn, immediately attack the city, test the Qin army of the Han people, and take turns to attack. Be sure to press forward in waves. The weather is cold and the ground is frozen. Try to kill ten thousand Han people within two days."
"If you see a flaw in the attack, or if the Han guards are shaken, the Han surrendered troops will all be suppressed. If you cannot see a flaw within two days, you will retreat. Next spring, wait until the horses and warriors are raised before fighting."
"Yes, Your Highness!" With Baru's order, Hu General bowed to his order.
The next morning, the sound of the trumpets of the camp sounded continuously, and teams of Hu cavalry came out of the camp and formed a group of Han people. In the middle were the Han people surrendered, and in front were the Han people.
Soon, the horn sounded again, and thousands of Hu cavalry lined up, forcing tens of thousands of people to slowly approach the city.
Tan Wang in the city was immediately woken up: "What's going on outside?"
"General! The Hu people have begun to attack the city!" When the general's inquiry was heard, a personal soldier said.
"His the Hu people started to attack the city?" Hearing this, Tian Wang stood up, put his armor on his body, boarded his boots, and strode out.
The temporary residence where he lives is very close to the city, so that he can command wars in time.
Under the protection of the guard general, Tian Wang climbed up to the city. When he saw it, his face changed drastically: "This group of Hu people can do this!"
I saw tens of thousands of people stumble and crying, and children following their parents, grabbing the corners of their clothes, running towards the road of death in a daze. Standing at the top of the city, watching the people rushing under the city, Tian Wang suddenly pulled out his knife and chopped on the wall: "I was crazy!"
All the generals were speechless.
The Hu people's routine is very simple, but it is effective. One move can transform all things.
"The general doesn't have to worry. Although the Hu people attacked the city violently, it depends on the situation and it is just a test." A general looked angry when he saw Tian Wang's face.
Tian Wang looked at it for a moment, his anger turned ashen, and he said coldly: "Order, prepare!"
Except for stories and comments, no army will surrender or give in because of this situation, because once you give in, the enemy will immediately understand your weakness and will seize the people everywhere, which will only lead to the disaster-stricken people becoming larger and larger.
When the crying people rushed to the city, a few orders came out: "Che!"
With a "buzzing", the sky suddenly darkened, and the rain of arrows drifted down. Suddenly, screams kept ringing below, making Tian Wang's expression even colder.
On a high slope five miles outside the city, Baru sneered and looked up at the city.
Looking at the people who were constantly driving away and being shot dead, and some Han surrendered troops, Baru's face remained unchanged, but he just watched quietly.
The war horses not far away kept sniffing and occasionally tapping on the spot.
In front of the city ahead, there was already a firelight, and there were endless chaotic shouts and shouts. Countless people were shot and killed on the spot, but these were not enough to move him.
In the history of the earth, 90% of Han people in the north of the Yuan Dynasty were killed, resulting in the Northeast being filled with Hu people. In the 300th year of the Ming Dynasty, Han people in the Northeast were not dominant, and a large number of indigenous tribes appeared in a blank space.
When the Qing Dynasty consolidated and established, all the Han people in the Northeast were killed without leaving any of them, and later the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were organized.
Killing all the Han people is nothing to these Hu people.
"Your Highness, it seems that the Han defenders will not be shaken. If these Han people die, they will not be able to test the strength of the enemy's army..." Someone suggested: "I heard from the Central Plains Shaman that in the Han area, you can build a siege tower and a gate-hitting machine, and use the Han surrendered troops to mingle the city. This can greatly increase the pressure on the enemy generals. If you create an opportunity, you can take advantage of the chaos to enter the city and rush across. What does Your Highness think?"
After hearing this, Baru thought for a moment: "I have brought some siege towers and door-to-door collision machines, and there is no shortage of craftsmen. Just do what you said, and continue to encircle the city, and at the same time, build siege weapons..."
"yes!"
When the sun was fully raised, the offensive retreated like a tide, but there were already two thousand Han corpses under the city, which killed the opponent back. Tian Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
However, in the next few days, the Hu people quickly built siege weapons, and they were not just the people, and they were confused with the Han surrendered troops.
Especially the tall towers, one by one, each with a group of shooters standing on each, and you can use bows and crossbows to attack the defenders on the opposite city.
For a moment, the battle formation continued to stalemate.
Until seven days later, all tens of thousands of people died, and another two thousand Han people surrendered to the army.
The Hu Qi basically only broke a few hundred people, and when he achieved his goal, the sound of horns rang one after another.
I saw a formation of 25,000 people when they came and retreated, and only about 12,000 people when they retreated. Although half of the number of people were reduced, I saw that the five thousand Hu people were in line and slowly heading out, not afraid of someone's sneak attack, nor were they depressed at all, and they still had a terrifying demeanor.
It came quickly and went quickly. In a blink of an eye, the Hu army retreated from sight, leaving only a black line on the horizon, and the city was silent, as if the cruel wars in the past few days were just a dream.
Just looking at the ten thousand corpses piled up under the city, someone suddenly started to cry. As he cried, the entire army suddenly burst into tears.
Tian Wang, who was patrolling, felt a soreness in his heart and burst into tears.
Chapter completed!
