Chapter 527: Siege Battle
The loss of thousands of horses and the loss of more than 2,000 Han Banner troops did not have a great impact on the Azig army.
However, it took two days to re-cut the trees and build a pontoon bridge for 70,000 people to cross the Liao River.
The heavy rain has not stopped, and the river surface of the Liao River has become much wider, with rough waves and turbulent currents.
As the army crossed the river, Azig lifted the curtain and looked back at the river, feeling that something was not right.
Seeing that he was behaving differently, Duoduo asked, "Brother Twelve, what's wrong?" ”
Azig muttered: "Wang laughed at this thief for his treachery, but this time he didn't attack Zhaoling, but trapped Liaoyang...... I can't figure it out. ”
When Duoduo heard this, he said to himself, Azig, this is a misjudgment, and it is difficult to let go.
"You look up to this Chu dog, he is only sixteen years old, how capable can he be? If you dare to destroy the mausoleum of Emperor Ama and Eniang, and break the legs of the twelve brothers, I will break his body to pieces......"
After marching for half a day, Liaoyang City was in sight, and 70,000 troops converged into the front line of the city, and the city was surrounded more and more like an iron bucket.
~~
Zilharang also arrived in Liaoyang in person only three days ago.
He was under a lot of pressure.
So far, Fuling has been destroyed, the prince has been killed, the concubine has been robbed, several generals have died, Shengjing and other places have been ruined, and the people have been displaced......
All this, he, Prince Zheng, who stayed in the capital, had to bear it.
But he is also very innocent, the main force of the Qing army of 300,000 is to attack Chu, the hinterland is empty, but there are many places to defend.
Although there are only 30,000 people on the other side, they are fast horses coming and going without a trace, and it is difficult to encircle and suppress them. It's not hard to defeat them, it's hard to stop them. It's like the Chu Dynasty has besieged the Liukou for so many years, but it hasn't been able to exterminate it.
Fortunately, they were finally trapped in Liaoyang......
If it were normal, the soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty could fight the Chu army with one enemy and ten, and with nearly 50,000 troops in his hands, Jierharang was completely confident that he could capture Liaoyang with his eyes closed.
But this time, he would never dare to let Wang Xiao and Qin Chengye escape again.
Even if he surrounds 20,000 people with 130,000 people, he will become a laughing stock if it is spread out, he must ensure that nothing goes wrong.
He doesn't plan to let go of any of this Chu army, he wants to put the heads of each of them in front of Fuling, so that the world can see what kind of consequences it is to dare to touch the scales of the Qing Dynasty.
Now that the reinforcements have arrived, it is time to take Liaoyang in one fell swoop, and the hatred in my heart has been relieved......
Azig's carriage traveled to the Chinese camp.
The curtain was lifted, and Zilharang's eyes fell on Azig's broken leg, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Prince Ying, you are ......"
Zilharang grew up with Huang Taiji since he was a child, and his loyalty to Huang Taiji does not need to be said.
Azig was Dorgon's half-brother, and Zilharan was wary of him.
But at this time, seeing that this prince with outstanding military achievements had become disabled, the first thing that came to Zilharang's mind was: the Qing Dynasty lost another fierce general.
Azig could understand the regret in Zilharang's eyes, but he waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's not a big deal to lose your legs, now is not the time to talk about this...... Dare to ask Prince Zheng, Wang Xiao and Qin Chengye are indeed in Liaoyang City? ”
"Yes, it's hard to escape!"
"Okay." Azig said coldly: "The emperor's starling told him to capture Wang Xiao and Qin Chengye, and not let them die too happily, and when the starling comes back, he will personally chop off their flesh one by one and suck their bone marrow raw......"
Listening to this, Jierharang seemed to see the fire in Guan Sui Palace again, as if he could feel the hatred and anger of Huang Taiji's gnashing teeth.
The Son of Heaven was furious, and millions of corpses were ambushed......
~~
Black clouds crush the city.
The 120,000 army was assembled, the siege vehicles slowly swung away, and the heavens and the earth were slaughtered.
"Siege!"
With Zilharang's words, the drums of war rang out.
"Boom! Boom! Knock ......"
The battle situation in Liaoyang City changed suddenly, and the siege became fierce in an instant.
"Kill ......"
The screams resounded through the mountains and rivers in the heavy rain, and the footsteps of 120,000 people were raised, and the earth was faintly shaking.
The black-pressed crowd surged under the city like an ant colony.
The battering ram slammed into the gates!
"Bang!"
The huge gate just shook for a moment, and countless powders fell from the caverns.
"They blocked the gates......"
"Bump again!" Single
"Siege the city with all your might, and do not be lazy! Those who take a step back will be killed! ”
The robbers were driven and carried the ladder to the city's head.
"Bang!"
The boulder slammed down, with a very short scream, smashing the coat of the city into mud.
Flesh and blood splattered on the faces of the survivors, but the sound of battle did not stop.
The ladder slowly fell, and there was another scream......
"Rack again! No refunds! ”
Another wave of wrappers rushed up, struggling to lift the ladder and erect it at the head of Liaoyang City.
The cloud ladder was too slippery on a rainy day, and he only climbed two steps with a coat, and when his feet slipped and fell, countless people behind him stepped on him and crawled.
A pair of shoes stepped on his back, and he screamed and struggled a few times, and gradually lost his breath.
The next moment, the ladder was pushed down by the defenders at the head of the city, and with a series of coats hanging on it, it smashed down!
"Ah......h
"Again!"
The giant beam wood was smashed, and it was a mess of mud again.
Human life has become the least valuable thing, worse than ants.
Under the city wall of Liaoyang, one body after another piled up, the dead opened their eyes, the wounded twitched their stumps, and even the pouring rain could not wash away the blood stains under the city.
Artillery could not be used in rainy days, and siege warfare became more primitive and more tragic......
Thousands of coated lives disappeared almost instantly, and not even a single defender could be taken away.
But the Qing generals didn't care.
The meaning of letting these coats rush up to death is just to consume the strength of the defenders and the equipment to defend the city.
……
Zilharan stared at the city.
Wang Xiao stared out of the city.
At this moment, they only have each other in their eyes, even if they can't see each other at all.
They didn't even look at the pawns.
The so-called human superiority is the life of one person, which can be heavier than tens of millions of people.
When the war is over, these pawns are no longer sons, husbands, fathers, brothers...... They're just numbers, numbers that will howl.
"The people in the city will go up to the city to defend it, and those who do not obey will be killed!" Wang Xiao shouted.
"Escort the Han Banner Army up! The rest of the room is well arranged, and no one person or one rider is allowed to escape! Zilharang shouted.
……
Time passed little by little in this kind of fighting.
"Bang!"
The battering ram slammed into the gate again, and the gate finally opened a gap.
The wrappers were overjoyed, and some people looked at it, but saw that the city gate was full of stones, and it was tightly blocked.
"The door has also been sealed!"
Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud bang, and another stone fell down......
The offensive on the city walls also intensified. With the banner of the Han army raised, there was finally a cloud ladder erected on the head of the city.
One by one, the soldiers screamed and fell off the city......
"Rush with all your might! Stand firm! ”
"The warriors who attack the city first are rewarded!"
"Kill......"
~~
"Master Hou! Dongcheng needs to send more manpower! Lin Shaoyuan shouted.
Wang Xiao didn't hear it.
He looked to the east for a moment, then turned to look at the Prince River to the west.
"Geng Zhengbai, why haven't you moved yet?" Wang Xiao whispered to himself.
"Master Hou!" Lin Shaoyuan shouted again.
Wang Xiao frowned slightly, and his expression gradually became solemn......
