Chapter 225: The Battle of Xinyang

Suddenly, the soldiers below exploded as if they had exploded: "General Liu is dead! General Liu is dead!" Suddenly, before Zhang Wuxian could say anything, he saw that the battle flags in the hands of those soldiers fell down one after another, and then the soldiers began to flee in all directions.

Seeing this, Zhang Wushu laughed and said, "Daqi soldiers, is this a little bit of courage?" Hahaha!" Immediately, Zhang Wushu entered the hot city directly from the main gate. Rao is like this, and there are no Daqi soldiers chasing after him.

After arriving at the city gate, Wang Ba immediately cast an envious look at Zhang Wuxian, after all, he Wang Ba was so big, and he had never seen a person who could obtain the head of an enemy general among 200,000 soldiers alone. But for Zhang Wuxian, although 200,000 is a huge number, as long as the main general vanguard is killed, these 200,000 people will be self-defeating.

Of course, the 200,000 people did not really part ways, because Daqi had a rule, but whoever went on the expedition must hand over a family member to the imperial court, which was also to avoid the soldiers from becoming deserters after arriving at the battlefield. So in the end, these 200,000 people gathered one after another in the five cities.

Only a small number of people, regardless of the safety of their families, fled directly. As soon as Liu Zijing died, the 200,000 army was leaderless in an instant, and after Qi Le heard the news, he hurried over. The original partial general was promoted to the vanguard of the main general.

This person's name is Zhu You. It is the person who has the largest official position except for Liu Zijing, and this person has some talent, so Qi Le canonized this person as the new main general striker.

Of course, this rule of Da Qi is naturally clear to Zhang Wuxin, and he also knows that the 200,000 army will soon make a comeback again. Therefore, Zhang Wushu did not dare to slack off, and even ordered Wang Ba to attack Xinyang City with the main army.

This Xinyang City is the last city in front of the imperial capital, and its military strength and defense power are definitely not false. So for this city, Zhang Wuxian has been cautious again and again. When they arrived at the city gate, they were still stationed five hundred meters away from the city gate. As for Recheng, in order to prevent the 200,000 army from catching up, he simply blocked the road of Recheng and abandoned the city.

Zhang Wuxian took a closer look at Xinyang City and found that although this city was not as high as the city wall of the hot city, its city wall was made of marble, which was very solid. As for the city gate, it is also different from the hot city, not to mention anything else, the outside of the city gate of Xinyang City is gilded. Seeing this, Zhang Wuxian couldn't help but secretly gasp in his heart, thinking that this Xinyang City was still a rich place.

And at this time, Liu Tong was above Xinyang City looking at the black pressure below, he himself knew the importance of this battle, and deliberately did not have any mood to return to the imperial capital to play. As for the general who defended the city of Xinyang City, he was also Zhang Guoliang, the second general of Daliang. Originally, the first general of this Liang was Gao Chun, but later it came under the command of Zhang Wuxian, and now this Liang Liu Tong has to use the second general in the most critical place.

After a long time, Liu Tong sighed leisurely and said, "Guoliang, do you think that in the battle of Xinyang, our army will win or lose?"

Zhang Guoliang did not hesitate, but blurted out directly: "It's not that the last general is arrogant, our army will definitely be defeated, judging from the previous war situation, this new dynasty army is not only brave, but even their majesty's kung fu is also very strong, and there is also my first general of Liang to assist in the new dynasty." Although Xinyang also has an army of 150,000, if he wants to win, it is like ascending to the sky. ”

Liu Tong sighed and said, "This Gao Chun, don't mention him." Finally, my Liang finally came out with a military talent, but I didn't expect to run to a newly built court to assist Zhang Wuxian. In fact, I don't expect to be able to defeat them, and it is also excellent to be able to hold Xinyang City from being breached. If you can delay for a while, the chances of winning will be more for a while. I have sent envoys to other countries to ask for help. I'm sure there will be a reply soon. ”

After a pause, Zhang Guoliang just wanted to say something, but he stopped talking, and after Liu Tong saw it, he smiled calmly: "Guoliang, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." No need to beat around the bush. At this point, I still have something I can't accept. ”

Zhang Guoliang nodded and said, "Actually, the last general thinks that even if the emperor writes letters to other countries for help, no country will be willing to send troops to help." After all, the situation is right here, and no one wants their country to be affected by the flames of war. ”

Suddenly, I saw that the black pressure below slowly moved towards the city gate, Liu Tong saw this, and frowned: "Isn't the new dynasty holding back?"

Zhang Guoliang looked below, and then shouted loudly: "The whole army has entered a state of alert!" After that, everyone immediately drew their bows to the bottom, and when Zhang Guoliang gave an order, everyone could shoot directly as soon as their hands were released. At the same time, ballistas, slingers, and even vajra thunderbolts are ready.

After a pause, Zhang Guoliang said: "Your Majesty, what is the use of the blueprint of the Vajra Thunderbolt Cannon that Qi Le brought?"

Liu Tong nodded: "The structure of the Vajra Thunderbolt cannon above is not understood by any workshop or person. However, the first craftsman of the Imperial Capital of the Imperial Capital of the cannonball made attached to it saw it, and now he has made twenty of them. ”

Zhang Guoliang nodded: "Twenty shells, even if the bombing kills a full 150,000 people, it is enough." The most frustrating thing is that when the two armies are fighting together, the Vajra Thunderbolt cannon is completely useless, after all, the shells do not recognize people, and the enemy and their own people will lose their lives. ”

At the same time, according to Zhang Wuxian's order, Wang Ba with an army of 150,000 slowly moved directly towards the city gate. When the distance was two hundred meters, Zhang Wushu ordered everyone to stop again, and this distance, if he advanced a little further, would be within the range of the Vajra Thunderbolt Cannon.

Zhang Wushu brought a set of bows and arrows, and then pulled the bow and shot towards Xinyang City, Zhang Guoliang saw a Ling arrow shoot over, when even if he stretched out his hand to catch the Ling arrow, it can be seen that Zhang Guoliang is also with martial arts.

Zhang Guoliang took down the Ling Arrow, and immediately found that there was a note attached to the Ling Arrow. He took down the note, opened it slowly, and only sighed after reading the contents, and then handed it to Liu Tong. After Liu Tong read it, he angrily held the note in his hand and threw it directly under the city.

Liu Tong looked at the black pressure below with disgust on his face, and sneered disdainfully: "Zhang Wuxian is really arrogant, and he actually sent a letter of persuasion to me directly. Even if I die on the battlefield, I will never bow down to such a villain. ”

Zhang Wushu saw a ball of notes slowly floating down, and when he knew what it meant, he immediately showed a sneer, and after a pause, he said coldly: "Wang Ba, since people don't appreciate it, we don't need to be polite." ”

Wang Ba nodded firmly, and then shouted loudly: "Come, fifty catapults are coming in order! Five siege engines are coming in front of them." The 150,000 troops in front and behind attacked in three waves, five thousand, and 70,000 troops. The whole army has an order, break through Xinyang City, and go straight to the imperial capital!"

"Order!" the shouts of 150,000 people broke through the sky, and the aftermath was loud. Even Liu Tong and Zhang Guoliang on the city wall were deeply shocked when they heard it, and then Zhang Guoliang reacted and said loudly: "Release!" Suddenly, the archers at the mouth of the city wall let go of their right hands, and then saw the arrows off the string like thunder and lightning, and the attack was very fierce.

The reason why the army was divided into three waves of attacks was also Zhang Wuxian's decision. After all, this siege will definitely have long-range attack weapons such as rolling logs, stones, archers, crossbows, etc. So the first 30,000 people were responsible for holding these things back. After that, the 50,000 men in the back quickly entered the city and began a fierce battle. After the two armies fought for a long time, the remaining 70,000 men needed to go in to replenish the troops. Our army suddenly increased its forces, and the enemy army was definitely defeated.

Thirty thousand men fell on the sky with bows and arrows, and then these thirty thousand men risked their lives to push the siege cart in front of the city gate, and it took twenty times before they broke through the gate, and for every one of them died, people immediately came up one after another.

There was a thud, and the gate was slammed open and fell to the ground. Then, when the 50,000 soldiers behind saw it, they hurriedly rode into the city, because there were 30,000 people under cover, and the 50,000 men had almost no casualties but most of them entered the city.

After arriving in the city, the task was also detailed assigned, 5,000 people quickly ran to the city wall, killed all the archers and crossbowmen, destroyed all the trebuchets, and soon the city wall fell into the hands of the new dynasty. After all, there were 150,000 people in the city, and 45,000 men were left to fight, and they were not opponents.

"Retreat!" only heard Wang Ba shout, and suddenly the 45,000 people who were fighting fiercely suddenly retreated to the outside of the city gate, which was not originally arranged in this way, but Zhang Wuxian found that these 150,000 people were not as vulnerable as he imagined, so he made this decision. Fortunately, these 45,000 people also cooperated very tacitly.

As soon as the 45,000 people had withdrawn, fifty trebuchets were lined up at the gate of the city, and before the people inside could see clearly, Wang Ba shouted: "Release!" As the order fell, fifty hundred-pound stones flew up from the trebuchet and hit the gang.

As soon as the first stone was shot, the soldiers behind quickly put the second stone on it. Wang Ba shouted again: "Release!" After two rounds, the front of the 150,000 people were all smashed into pulp.

But at this time, the commander on the city wall shouted: "Release!" Suddenly, I saw countless bows and crossbows shooting towards 150,000 people. Whenever a soldier wanted to go up the city wall, the soldiers above would use rolling logs to crush the girder soldiers directly into a pulp.

The whole army was fighting fiercely, but at the same time, a carriage had slowly left from the west gate of Xinyang。。。。。。
