Chapter 297 Take Benxi City
In this kind of army movement, there are generally middle-level generals leading the troops and horses, and the generals will only go to lead the troops and horses when they receive orders.
At this time, the busiest thing is logistics, and it is necessary to prepare food, grass, and equipment for different numbers of soldiers and horses! This is also the reason why Qu Tutong should be arranged to manage it, because he is in charge of the preliminary preparations, and he must know the quantity of various materials best.
With so many team transfers, it is naturally impossible to send them out at one time, and it is necessary to line up to receive supplies according to the requirements of the mission, and then set off, so the ones who can really set off today are only the pioneers of Liu Renliang and Xue Wanche. Even Zou Yu had to wait until the next day to send troops.
Although the relationship between the Goguryeo family and Zou Yu eased somewhat, Benxi City still had 10,000 soldiers to defend it; And because Benxi City was emptied once, it didn't immigrate again, and it was simply regarded as a purely military city.
Originally, the people of the villages near Benxi enjoyed a good treatment, and they were allowed to move into the city, so there were still seven or eight thousand people and 10,000 soldiers in Benxi.
Because the war had not yet broken out, it was easy to destroy two sentry posts on the other side of the river, and then the army crossed the river, and when they found out that something was wrong in Benxi City, they were already surrounded.
In this era, whether it is a cavalry or a foot pawn, unless it is a rapid march, it is a foot pawn, and the war horse will only help to hold some supplies, and will only ride the war horse when it is really about to enter the battlefield.
A good war horse, many times, is more valued than the average foot soldier, how can it be ridden all the time. Zou Yu's 20,000 Xue Yantuo cavalry, the same is true, besieged Benxi City, and only divided 10,000 cavalry, surrounded the north and south, let go of the east gate, and surrounded three and one.
On the west side, Zou Yu took 10,000 Xue Yantuo cavalry and his 3,000 personal soldiers and 3,000 heavy armored foot soldiers, which were his trump cards for personally training and designing weapons. These 3,000 personal soldiers, compared to Wu Qi's Wei Wushu, Zou Yu is confident that he will not lose!
Whether it is money and food, or equipment training, it is definitely better than Wei Wushu! This is also the reason why Li Jing only let him lead the cavalry, that is, he knows how powerful his own soldiers are. It is also his confidence in attacking the city, not to mention that there is a fierce man who has no official position and only listens to him.
Looking at the frightened guards at the head of the city, Zou Yu pursed his lips, put down his binoculars and said, "Yuanba! Let's go to break the gates together! ”
"Hey, hey! Good! With a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes, Li Yuanba was holding the hammer in his hand, ready to move! Hearing Zou Yu speak, he just smiled, didn't even deviate his head, but just moved his gaze from the city head to the city gate.
"Yi Nan! Bring someone to hold down the archers at the head of the city! Zou Yu commanded loudly.
"Whoa!" Yi Nan guessed what Zou Yu was going to do, and he was also very excited, and answered loudly, and then personally led the cavalry and rushed to the city.
"Tower Shield Soldiers! Above! Zou Yu did not ride a horse, but held a stick in both hands, raising his arms and shouting.
"Roar!" The tower shield soldier shouted angrily, took a neat step, and then rushed forward.
A thousand heavy armor tower shield soldiers ran out of the movement of 10,000 people, but the cavalry rushing out in front attracted the attention of the defenders, so they were not greeted with many bows and arrows at all.
Benxi City has a moat, but this is useless, the tower shield soldiers came to the moat, quickly combined the tower shield, a hundred people combined a long iron plate, and then pushed it up hard, and fell forward.
"Poof! Burst! Burst! Five muffled sounds, almost at the same time, and on the moat, five bridges appeared in an instant.
"Up!" Zou Yu greeted and rushed over first.
Li Yuanba rushed forward from the other without saying a word. He was followed by a soldier with a shield in his hand.
Of course, the guards at the head of the city noticed this, and hurriedly got up and fired arrows, trying to force the group of tin cans back.
"Whew! Whew! With a burst of extremely fast wind, a black shadow flew up to the city, and many guards appeared with an axe the size of a palm.
Before they could come back to their senses, a second black shadow flew over again, slashing the city's head.
The guards at the head of the city were so frightened that they hurriedly squatted down and collectively flew axes, this is the first time they have encountered, one of the bows and arrows may not be killed! But this axe, as long as it is hit, will not die but also seriously injured.
"Is this that big?" The guards hid behind the battlements, staring at each other, and no one of them wanted to rise, including their frightened general.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, the city gate shook and fell with puffs of dirt.
"Defense!" With Zou Yu's loud shout, the tower shield soldiers who came over moved again, and the tower shields were erected one by one, and they were combined together, and soon an iron house made of shields appeared under the city gate.
"Bang!" There was another loud bang, and the Goguryeo guard felt that the city was shaking, and he jumped up in fright.
"Quick! Fast! Pour the oil down! Burn them! The guards pushed and kicked, shouting at the guards.
"Poof! Poof! "Barrels of oil were poured down from the city.
"Boom!" As two torches were dropped from the city, the fire burst into flames.
It's a pity that all this is expected, after all, there are only a few ways to attack the city gate. The fire was burning, but it was only outside the shield, Zou Yu and them, except for feeling that the heat wave was pressing, there was not much danger.
"Bang! Bang! Bang bang! Li Yuanba, who was provoked, opened his eyes, gritted his teeth, and smashed forward several times in a row.
"Dang!" With a bang, Zou Yu shot quickly, and the stick was erected, withstanding the jack turn!
"Open!" Li Yuanba exhaled and made a sound, his body turned half a circle, and smashed it with a hammer.
"Click"! The heavy wooden door, unable to bear it any longer, cracked all at once.
As long as it cracks, it can no longer stop Li Yuanba, and after a few consecutive blows, the hole will be expanded.
Li Yuanba took a step back, and then kicked hard, even with a hammer, and crashed into the city gate.
"Kill it!" Zou Yu's eyes lit up, his face was happy, and he greeted loudly.
"Kill!" In fact, there was no need to shout, the tower shield soldiers had already shouted excitedly and rushed in.
"Kill!" Zou Yu definitely wouldn't wait, he also rushed in, picked up a knife next to the several corpses on the ground that were stoned to death by Li Yuanba, and rushed towards the guards.
As soon as the city gate was broken, where was there anyone in Benxi City who could block Zou Yu and Li Yuanba, and the guards at the city gate were killed and pierced as soon as they saw each other. With the tower shield soldiers who rushed up from behind, it was like a tide all of a sudden, knocking down all the guards in front of them!
As soon as the tower shield soldiers entered the city, some people followed Zou Yu to kill the city, and some people raised their shields to block the road. In this way, the big picture is decided!
It's no wonder that the Benxi guards are not strong, the main thing is that half of them are new recruits or weak soldiers, and more elites have been withdrawn.
There is another reason, that is, they were defenseless and were killed by Zou Yu by surprise.
One of the guards didn't expect that the moat didn't work, and originally saw that most of them were cavalry, thinking that the cavalry was not good at attacking the city, and he also made a mentality of holding on; The second reason is that it is too late to block the city gate, and the oil is not effective.
This is not to blame him, after all, he has not heard of a person like Li Yuanba, who can use a hammer in his hand to directly smash open the city gate.
Originally, seeing that there were no siege equipment, I thought that the general would be a guy who didn't know how to soldier, "Now it seems that I am a fool." This was the last thought of the Goguryeo guard of Benxi City.
