652:Unification of Marushu (5)
"Can't keep it, can't keep it......"
The dull sound of arrows thrusting into flesh, the wailing of the battlefield, the humming of arrows piercing through the air...... The cacophony of voices converges into a symphony of death...... The soldier said this with tears in his eyes, and a cold arrow passed through his chest. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Smash them all! Smash them down! Don't let these traitors climb the city wall!"
The leader of the Red Lotus Sect was cowering in the rear, his face full of fear, and he roared hoarsely as he pushed the others to the front line.
"If you can't hold it, you have to defend it! Whoever dares to retreat will kill whom!"
The best way to deal with the enemy who climbs the ladder is to hit them with heavy objects or sharp objects or hands, and the defenders don't even need to kill them on the spot, they only need to get them down the ladder, and the height of the wall alone is enough to knock the enemy to death.
However, Yang Si is very treacherous.
He asked his soldiers to pretend to climb the ladder with thick shields, and they didn't need to climb too high, but they could climb halfway through, luring the Red Lotus Sect in the city to come forward, and when they attacked the soldiers who climbed the ladder with stones or other sharp weapons, the crossbowmen under the city would shoot at those soldiers.
The war drums were like thunder, and the strong drum sound resounded through the sky, hooking people's chests and blood stirring, surging for it.
Jiang Pengji rode on Xiaobai's back, and the red and silver armor looked particularly conspicuous in the sun.
She frowned and said, "Jingrong, although your lord has a few spare money, he is not a rich country...... Can you be thrifty?"
The arrows are not endless, and in her opinion, every wave shot out is white silver.
If you can successfully attack the city, it will be fine, if you can't attack it for the time being, those arrows will not be able to recover.
Even if you can recover some by cleaning the battlefield, there is also a loss of arrows, and you have to lose one or two percent every time you fight, which is so expensive that it hurts to the flesh.
Yang Si said with a smile, "Wait, when their morale is completely broken, these few zhang city walls can be easily breached!"
Jiang Pengji secretly rolled her eyes, she clamped Xiaobai's belly, "Drive!"
Xiaobai roared and rushed to the battlefield at a gallop.
Yang Sizheng was about to raise his hand to stop it, but Xiaobai had already carried the people away, leaving only the dust and sand it raised.
While galloping, Jiang Pengji took off the bow and arrow placed on the horse's back.
This bow and arrow, it takes more than two stones to pull the bowstring to the full moon.
Grab your arrows and bow and aim at the banner fluttering in the wind on the city.
The silver light broke through the sky, and the arrows carried an indomitable momentum, and shot through the flagpole with a bang, and the huge banner fell with a bang.
Completely crush their momentum, why do you need such ink?
Either the army will directly take the head of the enemy general, or cut down their banner, which is a way to completely humiliate the enemy and break morale.
When Yang Si saw the fallen Red Lotus Sect banner, he smiled dumbly, adjusted his plan, and went all out to attack the city.
The Red Lotus Sect in the city has basically lost its will to fight, Jiang Pengji's soldiers climbed the city wall one after another with thick shields after paying a small price, and the two sides fought and fought, the scene was chaotic and bloody, like Shura hell, which made people lose their senses.
In the midst of the chaos, the gates of the city were wide open.
Jiang Pengji held a spear in her hand and slapped her horse into the city.
From early morning to noon, it was as if the white clouds on the horizon were dyed with a wisp of scarlet.
If anyone surrenders, his hands are tied, and if he resists to the death, he is killed.
In less than half a month, the situation in Chengde County has undergone earth-shaking changes.
So far, Kinmen County, Fenghu County, Honglian County, and the three counties have all been included in Jiang Pengji's territory.
"It's still short of Qiuyu County. ”
After the war, Yang Si sent people to clean up the battlefield and settle the bodies of wounded soldiers, dead soldiers, and captured prisoners of war.
When he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, Jiang Pengji had already washed up, took off her heavy armor, and sat in the main hall drinking tea and resting.
Yang Si was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, and even the clothes on his body were still two days ago, so he didn't have time to freshen up.
"Yes, there is still one autumn rain county left...... Why don't you wait for a few more days, wait for the Red Lotus Sect to fight among themselves, and consume each other?"
Jiang Pengji twisted her eyebrows and said, "I want to wait, but King Qin can't wait." ”
Yang Si was also helpless, if it weren't for King Qin's incident, they would have waited until after the beginning of spring to fight Chengde County.
Now that they are forced to go to war a few days before the New Year's Festival, the soldiers are unable to spend the festival with their families, and some soldiers have to sacrifice their lives.
Jiang Pengji said again, "Sooner or later, we will also annex the Red Lotus Sect, and sitting back and watching them consume in a civil war is tantamount to consuming our strength." ”
Yang Si was so choked that he couldn't speak.
The meaning of my lord's words is clearly - the Red Lotus Sect will be mine sooner or later, and the greater their internal friction now, the greater the loss when I get it...... However, the Red Lotus Sect is not completely finished, so you are so worried about it, is it really good?
"Take a break and wave your troops to Qiuyu County!"
"Yes!"
Jiang Pengji, Qi Guanrang and others deliberately blocked the news, and the Red Lotus Sect got the news relatively late.
How late is it?
She had already taken down Fenghu County, and the Red Lotus Sect in Qiuyu County was still confronting each other inside and outside the city, shouting and scolding.
In order to delay time, An Yu racked his brains to give advice to the second leader of the Red Lotus Sect.
Compared with the crooked intestines of the top strategists, An Yu can be regarded as upright.
Compared to the brainless reckless men of the Red Lotus Sect, An Yu felt that his IQ could crush the audience.
With his help, the second-in-command deceived the city gate of Qiuyu County and captured it.
After capturing Qiuyu County, he was about to send troops to Honglian County, but the army was blocked at the city gate.
The person who surrounded them was none other than the military advisor of the Red Lotus Sect.
The scholar personally led the troops to surround Qiuyu County, and while scolding, he asked the second-in-command to return the sect leader.
The two sides confronted each other and were at a stalemate.
An Xuan took the opportunity to stir up trouble again, breaking the balance between the two, and war was about to break out.
As for him?
For the sake of his life, An Hao packed his bags early, took a few brothers to escape in chaos, and slipped away.
The second-in-command and the scholar have already killed red eyes, where will they notice An Xi's existence?
When they found out that An Xuan had escaped and the world had evaporated, the news that Honglian County and Qiuyu County had been conquered one after another also came.
"What!! Honglian County was lost?
The second-in-command stood up in shock, because he was in such a hurry that he felt dizzy and almost fainted.
The soldier who delivered the message turned pale, and he reported the time.
When the second-in-command heard this, the whites of his eyes rolled, and his strong body fell to the ground with a bang.
Everyone panicked, pinching people, slapping slaps, tossing for half a sound to wake people up.
"How could it be...... How could it be ......"
The second-in-command felt like falling into an ice cellar, cold to the bone.
If the information is correct, the time of the fall of Honglian County happened to be the same day he arrived in Qiuyu County.
The guards of Honglian County are not weak, how could the willow thieves attack Honglian County quietly?
Moreover, it has been a few days since it was conquered, why is the news only coming now?
At the same time, the scholar also received the news that Fenghu County was missing.
