Chapter 426: Fill in the life to siege the city
Cai Xide was wondering what other good news could be in this situation, so someone reported it:
"Captain Li defeated ** reinforcements on the way back to the army, and it is not counted to kill the enemy and capture them!"
This news made everyone stunned, the performance of the generals was not a surprise to hear of the victory, but a cool breeze was blowing in the back. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
If, as Li Jinzhong's return said, they defeated the ** reinforcements, it would be too lucky for them. If Li Jinzhong had not encountered ** reinforcements, would this support soldier drive straight in and stab the besieging Yan army from behind?
But Cai Xide is a battle-hardened veteran after all, and after being stunned for a moment, he immediately came back to his senses and high-fived him.
"Li Jinzhong's annihilation of ** reinforcements was expected for a long time, but now ** is cut off inside and outside, and it can't hold on for much time, as long as it ......"
"General, no, it's not good......"
An eyeless retinue rushed into the tent with a roar, shouting and looking panicked.
The generals who had just been taken aback were shocked again, and even Cai Xide couldn't help but be shocked, since he met Qin Jin's opponent, there was almost no good news, and it seemed that he would win the situation, but in the end, he could actually lose and retreat, what else did he have to say?
"Panic, what kind of system?"
The entourage knelt down with a thud, "The general forgives the sin, it is not humble and panicked, it is really a big deal......"
"Don't talk nonsense, let's be straightforward, where has something changed?"
"The newly built siege equipment was given a fire by ** and burned ......"
After hearing this, Cai Xide's face suddenly turned pale, and he pondered for a while before squeezing out a few words from between his teeth.
"Waste, a bunch of waste, when did you get out of town?"
After asking this, he immediately realized that this must not be the ** in the city, it should be the ** who stayed outside the city. This ** army did not move for a long time when the Yan army besieged Jiangxian County, Cai Xide always thought that these people were worried about cowardice and had already fled, and he didn't want to just hold back.
"What's going on at the moment?
"Back to the general's words, the ** cavalry came and went like the wind, the attack started suddenly, and the brigade on duty was caught off guard and was martyred on the spot!"
At this moment, Cai Xide's face is no longer beyond the limit, he originally planned to use siege equipment to feign siege the city, in order to boost morale, but after the arrival of reinforcements, he will capture Jiangxian with the tactics of filling in life, and capture Qin Jin alive. But the fact is that Qin Jin is not willing to be besieged, and has been looking for an opportunity to turn the tables.
Last night's carelessness almost ruined the Yan army's plan in Hedong Road, Cai Xide calmed down for a while and finally settled down.
"There are countless mulberry forests in the river valley, it's a big deal to rebuild, as long as you dare to burn them again, let them go and have no return!"
As long as reinforcements come, all the small actions of the Tang army will become meaningless.
However, God seemed to be bent on making a dilemma with Cai Xide to the end, and the reinforcements finally arrived outside Jiangxian two days later, but at the same time, they also brought a piece of news that made him feel like he was struck by lightning.
"What, you, you say it again......"
"The general is on top, and the humble does not dare to say half a lie. Tang Jun suddenly appeared at Tianjing Pass, the grain transport team was caught off guard, and was burned clean by a fire, and brought people according to the general's words, but there was not much food......
Cai Xide has always been very strict, and anyone who cannot complete the task within the deadline will be beheaded for public display.
It is true that the Tang army general in front of him has brought tens of thousands of life-filling ghosts, but there is no food, and he is going to make a big mess.
Fortunately, there were only two of them in the military tent, Cai Xide pondered for a while before asking in a low voice, "How much usable food did you bring back here?"
The visitor hesitated for a moment and held out three fingers.
The reality is cruel, is three days of military rations enough to fill the life of the ghost?
In order to preserve the strength of the descendants, these people must be allowed to take the lead, and if they die more, their descendants will die less.
Cai Xide's idea is not without reason, these non-descendants are half-hearted on weekdays, and once they find that the signs are wrong, they can surrender to the Tang army at any time, since this is the case, it is better to let them die in the battle against the **, even if they vote for the Tang army in the future, they will vote less.
"The military rations are halved, save some food, insist on seven days of hard work, and have their own military rations. ”
The captain who came with reinforcements saw Cai Xide's promise so firmly, and the worry in his eyes disappeared from then on, as long as there was military food to eat, the people he brought would be obedient like a group of Mianyang.
After sitting for a long time, Cai Xide only felt unbearable pain in the wound on his chest, and he sent away the captain who led the team, and Bin lay down with a stretch to relieve the fatigue and pain in his body.
Although his body relaxed, his mind did not dare to relax for a moment. Cai Xide recalled the deployment of the troops of both sides around Jiangxian in his mind to judge whether he had missed something.
After thinking about it, Cai Xide only felt annoyed that he had missed the ** of the sneak attack on Tianjing Pass, but he was even more suspicious in his heart, since he was able to miss a wave of people, is it possible to miss the second wave?
Thinking of this, Cai Xide couldn't sit still, and he immediately convened the generals to discuss the matter, and there was only one topic, that is, to attack the city tomorrow.
The reaction of the generals was different from what Cai Xide expected, and the faces of these people showed a relaxed expression, and they seemed to be more willing to put all the chips on it than to wait for a long time, whether they won or lost in one fell swoop.
However, Qin Jin is willing to let these descendants attack the city again, and he will feel distressed if he dies.
The new life-filler is fully capable of attacking the city tomorrow, and as for his descendants, he only needs to beat the drums and cheer in the back, and by the way, he will be the overseer, and as long as anyone dares to retreat privately, he will kill the killer.
The pre-war deliberations were surprisingly short, and it took less than half an hour for the congregation to sit in the account and leave the account.
Finally explained everything, Cai Xide dragged his tired and painful body back to his military couch, and finally could sleep peacefully.
Even if there are no large-scale siege equipment, the same effect can be achieved with ladders, anyway, those life-filling ghosts are a waste of food if they live, and the saved food can last an extra day.
However, before Cai Xide could close his eyes, a general came over angrily.
"General, that Han dog lied and deceived the general, he said that the grain he brought could be used for three days, but in fact it was not even a few days, and the corn bags were full of hay stalks, and he didn't even eat the horses!"
After hearing this, Cai Xide grinned, he just thought that things were going well, it seemed a little too smooth, who knew that he couldn't help but chatter, and something went wrong. But tomorrow's siege is imminent, will you kill that Han dog? Absolutely not, the battle will shake the morale of the army.
Everything can only be disposed of after the battle, and if the Han dog dies in the siege battle, everything will be stopped. As long as this person lives, no matter how much merit he has made, he will never be forgiven if he only deceives one.
Cai Xide lowered his voice and instructed:
"It's good that you know about this matter, don't make a noise, I'll deal with it myself!"
The general left, but Cai Xide was completely sleepy, he opened his eyes, stared at the top of the military tent, and couldn't sleep for a long time.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, with the first 10,000 horses, in the second half of the night another 10,000 horses arrived, the scale of 20,000 people is enough, Jiang County is just a small county town, even if the specifications of the city wall are stronger than the ordinary county, but after all, it is only a county seat, not strong.
Cai Xide refused to lead the brigade's request to see, this kind of flattering reception, can be less or less, he is used to seeing the groveling of Han officials, often pretending to be loyal and unyielding, now just thinking about it feels disgusting.
Cai Xide has never been a person who grasps everything in detail, and the characters who should be assigned will have his own subordinates to complete it, and he will have his own severe punishment if he can't complete it. Therefore, in Cai Xide's army, no matter what he does, the efficiency is the highest in the Yan army. That's what he's most proud of.
Therefore, Cai Xide did not meet with the brigade leader of the troops, so he dared to swagger in the military tent to recuperate, just waiting for the news of the war tomorrow.
Suddenly, there were 20,000 more horses, and the camp became bustling. With so many people coming, it was definitely impossible to keep it completely secret, and Yan Jun didn't plan to keep it secret from the beginning, so most of them were sent to Nancheng and Dongcheng to fill the gap in besieging Jiangxian County.
At this time, Cai Xide has completely given up the siege and siege of the city, he wants to drain the water in the siege of Jiangxian County, and he can't force Qin Jin to land, so he will capture this person alive, if this person is stubborn, he doesn't mind killing.
After being confused for a long time, Cai Xide finally fell asleep deeply, and the siege officially began on the second day.
The drums of war are beating, and there are bursts of shouting.
The main general, Cai Xide, endured the discomfort of his body, put on his helmet and armor, and personally went to the gate to cheer.
The men and horses who were about to attack the city had already been in a chaotic formation, just waiting for an order to rush forward and make an immortal achievement!
In Cai Xide's army, there are clear military rules, and anyone who is the first to attack the city wall and return to the barracks alive will be immediately rewarded.
It is because for this thousand gold, everyone strives to be the first, even if they are lagging behind, they are not afraid, and the person who rushes to the front always dies the fastest.
Whining.......
The sound of the horn suddenly sounded, Cai Xide glanced at the flag envoy, and shouted with the pain of the wound in his chest:
"Attack!"
The flag in his hand was waved down, and the originally slow drum beat became steep and rapid.
Kill, kill, kill!
With every shout of kill, the pawn who was ready to go took a step forward.
Cai Xide glanced at the locust-like dense siege soldiers, and sighed secretly: Don't look at these life-filling ghosts can't fight a tough battle, but after all, there is the foundation of the Tang Army, and the few steps forward and the sound of shouting and killing are really a bit invincible and fearless.
The sound of war drums resounded over the city of Jiangxian, and the foot soldiers attacking the city gradually increased their speed, moving forward step by step to jogging in small steps......
The unprecedented battle in Jiangxian County has finally begun!
