Central Plains Chapter 65 The Battle of the Siege

On the second day, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, I saw that the military camp in Daxing was already hunting with flags and ready to go.

Liu Jing was dressed in golden armor, standing upright on the chariot of the Chinese army, looked at the million-dollar army with heavy shadows, and then looked at Liu Ye and Chen An in front of him, then took a deep breath, pulled out the imperial sword, pointed forward, and shouted: "The whole army is attacking."

Then I saw Liu Ye and Chen An saluting, turned over their horses, and swept towards their respective armies.

Dayi, Wang Chang's handsome tent, he had just gotten up at this time, and he was wiping his face casually with a piece of cloth.

"Report to the marshal, a quarter of an hour ago, a million troops of Daxing came out and were pressing towards me towards the border," a spy reported breathlessly.

"What? It's been a quarter of an hour, why do you say it now? Hurry up and inform the whole army to take their positions and prepare to meet the enemy," Wang Chang yelled as he slammed the cloth into the basin of water.

After Wang Chang finished arranging the defenders, he came to the city in front of the border line, and saw that Daxing's army was in a dark area, and it was already about to come to the city.

"Damn, why is it so fast? What about Li Feng? Where did Li Feng die? Find it for me" Wang Chang saw that Daxing had already approached the city, but he didn't see a single Yangzhou sergeant, and he was immediately furious, and roared at the soldiers behind him.

The 300,000 former troops heard the sound of the war drums, and instantly changed their formations, and the 100,000 people in the front held their shields high and marched forward neatly, and then 100,000 people carried bows and arrows and cats under the waist shields, and 100,000 people pushed or lifted, carrying various siege equipment and 100,000 steps behind the 200,000 troops in front, looking for an opportunity to move.

Seeing this formation, Wang Chang knew that Daxing was preparing to attack, and hurriedly shouted to the pro-army behind him: "Order the archers to be in position immediately, and quickly check the reserves of bows, boulders, rolling wood, fire oil and other materials, report detailed data, and quickly find someone to call my fucking Li Feng to me, the enemy is coming, what is he doing?"

"Yes" A few pro-soldiers behind him responded, and they hurried everywhere.

......

Liu Jing was sitting in the Chinese army, seeing that the offensive was about to start, and there were countless good people who would die today, he was also a little sad in his heart, but then he forcibly drove away all the negative emotions, and his expression returned to the previous Gujing Wubo, and then turned his head to ask Chen An who was next to him.

"Chen An, is it time to let the stone tent go?"

Chen An, who was looking at the overall situation with the order flag in his hand, did not turn his head when he heard this, but just stared at the battlefield, and while commanding, he replied distractedly: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen the Yangzhou Army flag, just wait."

Liu Jing nodded, and then stopped talking, Chen An is now the commander-in-chief of the army, since Liu Jing uses him, he has to believe him, at this time, as long as he, the emperor, promises not to open his mouth to command indiscriminately, and the rest has his own Chen An arrangement.

"Release the arrow" Wang Chang looked at the Daxing Qianjun who had entered the firing range, waved his arm down without hesitation, and ordered loudly.

"Bang Bang", "Bang Bang"

I saw that hundreds of thousands of bowstrings sounded at the same time, and hundreds of thousands of arrows flew together, swept into the sky, really covering the sky and the sun, and fell into Daxing's camp in the blink of an eye.

"Ding...", "Ahh

In the Daxing camp, although there is a giant shield in the front row, the bodies of many soldiers are inevitably exposed to the giant shield, and under such a dense rain of arrows, as long as the body is slightly exposed, they will inevitably be hit by arrows.

I saw an army of 200,000 people, whether it was a person raising a shield or an archer hiding behind it, people were constantly falling, as long as they got out of the cover of the giant shield, they would inevitably be pierced all over the body by countless arrows, and they could not die again.

The effective range of Shenzhou's bows and arrows is roughly about 150 paces, and the effective lethality is roughly at a distance of 100 steps.

Between a hundred steps, the Daxing archers behind the giant shield were finally able to counterattack, only to see them quickly come out sideways one by one, shoot the arrows in their hands towards the city, and do not aim, but after shooting, they dodge back under the cover of the shield, and then continue to take arrows, take arrows, and shoot arrows.

On the city wall of Dayi, there were finally casualties at this time, and the original full-coverage arrow rain was also temporarily suspended, and then it was just a sparse counterattack.

At this moment, the order flag in Chen An's hand waved, and the 100,000 army began to advance forward with siege equipment.

Then Chen An shouted to the stone tent not far away: "Stone tent, you lead the 100,000 troops under your command to set off, be careful."

Shi Canopy nodded, didn't speak, and swept into the distance with an army of 100,000 and hundreds of masters, and Liu Yidao was actually in this army.

How long the border line spans, no one knows, and it is not necessary to take this city when entering Dayi, but if the army enters the country and does not take the border pass city first, it will be in danger of being caught in the front and back, but at this time, the two armies are fighting, and naturally they have no time to take care of the small force of the stone canopy.

Moreover, the stone canopy did not go here to invade Dayi, but was ordered to detour to the rear of the border city, and to harass, attack, kill, and loot logistics and supplies as the first priority, of course, it was not impossible to participate in the siege of the city at the appropriate time.

Soon after the stone canopy left, the Daxing front army finally killed under the city wall with the rain of arrows, and the archers of Daxing pulled the bow and shot arrows more labor-saving and time-saving, so a wave of Daxing arrow rain suddenly fell on the city wall, and it was also taken advantage of such a good opportunity that the siege equipment finally arrived under the city.

I saw that there were nearly 100 people operating a huge crash car, constantly impacting the city gate; there were also nearly 1,000 people pushing two heavy ladders close to the city wall, and then there were dead soldiers going up the ladder, although most of them died in the middle of the waist, but it also indicated that the siege battle was no longer a one-sided trend of Daxing, but officially entered the stage of tug-of-war, offensive and defensive warfare.

Chen An saw that the siege equipment had been erected, so he finally sighed, and then glanced at Liu Jingdao: "Your Majesty, although the sacrifice is great, but fortunately, everything is going well, presumably not long after, Captain Liu's Yanzhou army should exert its strength."

Liu Jing naturally took everything in front of him into his eyes, nodded and said: "Chen An, you have worked hard, let your border army hold on for a while, as long as you can climb the city wall, or break through the city gate, you will immediately make the whole Yanzhou army press."

"Yes" Chen An responded while shaking the command flag in his hand again, only to see the 200,000 border troops watching the battle not far away quickly join the battlefield. Comrades fought desperately on the front line, these 200,000 people saw in their eyes, pain in their hearts, and they had long been eager to fight side by side with them.

......

"Resist, resist Lao Tzu"

"Pour the oil... Throw the torch down, what are you doing in a daze?"

"It's up over there, over there, what are you doing with it, kill?"

"What about Li Feng's grandson, why hasn't he come yet? Who can tell me Li Feng?"

On the city wall, Wang Chang commanded his subordinates to defend with difficulty, while cursing Li Feng loudly.

"Dashuai, I have already been informed, when they went to their posts, they actually just got up, but... It's just that I don't know why I haven't come to support now," a guard beside Wang Chang replied loudly while waving a long knife in his hand and cutting down a Daxing soldier who had just climbed the city tower.

"Call again, fuck, if the city is broken and Lao Tzu's border army suffers heavy losses, I will definitely not be able to spare him, fucking mud legs" Wang Chang also scolded while commanding.

......

Shi Canopy led the team to the rear of the city, but did not see any logistics team, but saw a rolling military camp, looking at its layout, I am afraid that there are no less than four or five hundred thousand people, thinking that this is the camp of the Dayi Yangzhou Army.

Shi Canopy really couldn't figure out that there was already smoke in front of him, and the battle situation was extremely tragic, but the Yangzhou army in the rear camp was not moving, and he saw 500,000 troops lined up in the camp, neither out nor dispersed, just standing in a daze.

"Master, what do you say is going on?" Shi Peng asked as he looked at Liu Yidao beside him.

"I don't know, why don't you send someone closer to investigate?" Liu Yidao shook his head and said.

"Forget it, that's an army of 500,000, we have few people, we can't be provoked, let's take a look first" Shi Canopy shook his head.
