Chapter 1609: The War Begins

Ye Shikai pinned his hopes on Mi Wen, his orders may not be easy to use, but Mi Wen is the lord, if she gives the order, those "old qualifications" will not dare to disobey Yin and Yang, when he was a general in the Qin army, he also encountered such a situation, but whether it is Han Hao of Hanoi County or Ma Yao of Dong County, they are all "responsive" and "caring" to him, Ye Shikai's needs, they are trying their best to meet Ye Shikai's needs, even if the generals of his colleagues are envious, jealous and hateful, they dare not calculate him behind his back.

"Tell the general that the ordnance has arrived at the camp. At this time, an officer rode over on a fast horse, Ye Shikai turned his head to look at him, his body was all dust, his face was also mud, and the whole person looked like he had just crawled out of the quagmire.

"Why are you so embarrassed. ”

"General Hui, subordinates...... His subordinates brought the ordnance to the camp overnight with their brothers, and encountered a mud field on the way...... The clothes were dirty, the situation was urgent, and the subordinates came to report before they had time to change their clothes, and asked the general to forgive me. ”

"Hard work, you did a good job, the army conquered Wancheng, you have a great contribution. Ye Shikai nodded with relief, a mere tun chief still understands the truth of unity, but those generals with heavy troops are intriguing behind their backs, which is really sad.

"Thank you, General, thank you, General. ”

"Shangguan, let's go back, tomorrow morning, this will be the battlefield. ”

"Good. ”

Ye Shikai almost didn't sleep all night, for the cultivator, this didn't make him feel so tired, but the situation in front of him made him quite anxious, looking at the map and repeatedly comparing for a long time, now tens of thousands of lives are in his hands, Wancheng is a strong city, although Zheng Lang only has 20,000 recruits now, but with the city defense, they can still resist, on the contrary, Ye Shikai only has 30,000 people in his hands, although they are all experienced elites, but it is still very difficult to break through in one fell swoop.

"Lao Ye, otherwise, transfer the troops of the two generals Zhang Lan and Wang Lian back to help in the battle, if the 50,000 army attacks the city, within three days, Wancheng will be broken. ”

"No, if the reinforcements of the Qin army take advantage of our siege to storm our rear, and then Zheng Lang opens the city again, our army will be defeated on both sides, and there will be no possibility of retreating, and perhaps the whole army will be annihilated. Ye Shikai directly refused, there was a risk in besieging the city, the risk of being "counter-surrounded", and those generals did not send troops for a long time, so he had to divide his troops to guard the passage to prevent the Qin army from attacking.

"So what to do. ”

"Feint to attack the three gates, and then concentrate on attacking the east gate. ”

"East Gate, why did you choose the East Gate, the city defense there is the strongest, the city gate is also very heavy, and our main force is in the South Gate, the East Gate...... I'm afraid I won't be able to attack it. ”

"It is precisely because of this that Zheng Lang also knows that we are gathering heavy troops at the south gate, so we will definitely increase the number of defenders at the south gate, and we will take it by surprise and attack its east gate, as long as we can break through one gate, then Wancheng will be broken. ”

"Okay, I'll go and inform Mancang, and ask him to sneak to the east gate tomorrow with the Ironclad Army, the Ironclad Army is the elite of the whole army, and attacking the city is their forte. Shangguan Jian was just about to leave, but was stopped by Ye Shikai.

"Wait a minute. ”

"Old Ye, is there anything else. ”

"Tomorrow, Mancang will leave the south gate to feint. Ye Shikai hesitated for two seconds before saying lightly.

"Why, there is no better place to siege a city than the Ironclad Army. Shangguan Jian was shocked, he didn't expect Ye Shikai to make such an arrangement.

"That's exactly why. Ye Shikai coughed lightly and explained, "Zheng Lang knows us well, he knows very well that Mancang is my henchman, and the ironclad army is the trump card in my hand, this army is wearing heavy armor, the higher the city and the deep pool, it is a sharp weapon for attacking fortifications, so no matter which gate I put the ironclad army, he will think that it is our main direction of attack, and he is convinced that it can just confuse him." ”

"I see. Shangguan Jian nodded lightly, and then raised his head to look at Ye Shikai, who was preoccupied.

"Old Ye, is it just for this reason. ”

"yes, of course. ”

…………………………………………………

Following.

"Are you ready? ”

"Tell the general, the north gate is ready. ”

"The East Gate is ready. ”

"Simon is ready. ”

"The South Gate is also ready. Mancang followed Ye Shikai's order and stayed at the south gate with the ironclad army, perhaps because of the conversation he had with Ye Shikai that day, the big battle was imminent, not only was he not excited, but he was a little lost, he already knew that the "protagonist" of this siege was not him.

"Well, the armies will obey the order and go to war. Ye Shikai slowly pulled out his sword, pointed at the city, and shouted loudly.

"Kill. ”

"Kill. ”

On all sides of the city gates, tens of thousands of people rushed forward, the scene was very spectacular, this was the first time Ye Shikai commanded a large army to attack the city, he did not dare to be careless.

"Quick, put the trebuchet on me. ”

Bang.

More than a dozen trebuchets threw boulders at the same time, slamming them down on the ramparts, and the stones collided with a deafening crashing sound that made people shudder just to hear it.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

At the same time, the crossbowmen of the Qin army in the city also fired arrows downward, and many brothers fell along the way, as the commander, Ye Shikai was very distressed, but there was no way, this was the price of the siege.

Zheng Lang was standing on the tower of the south gate, Ye Shikai could even see him with the naked eye, if he wasn't worried about his identity being exposed, he really wanted to use his internal force to fly up directly and kill him directly.

"Quick, give me the arrows. Zheng Lang walked back and forth on the city wall to supervise the battle, most of the people who came to defend the city were temporary recruits, without training, the battle started, if it weren't for this city wall, they would have been scared back, seeing the boulders thrown by the trebuchet directly smashed people into meat sauce, they were directly frightened and shrunk up, and their bodies trembled.

"Quick, stand up for me. Zheng Lang grabbed a soldier who was fleeing backwards and slashed him with his sword.

"Those who retreat without authorization, and those who are cowardly in battle, will be killed. ”

"Wow. ”

"Wow. ”

"Quick, aim for the thieves below and give me arrows. ”

The Qin army in the city, with strong bows and crossbows and strong city walls, inflicted great casualties on the rebels, arrows rained down, and half of the sergeants fell as soon as they went up to the city......

"General, now the brothers are fighting bloodily, and the last general will be the commander of the ironclad army, please fight. Finally, Mancang still couldn't stand it anymore, he and thousands of ironclad troops were guarding the south gate, this was originally a feint, they were still as a reserve force, which was equivalent to standing behind and watching.
