Chapter 655: Achievement
Due to morale reasons, the Beidi soldiers did not want to or dare to attack the city, and in this case, the battle was fought together, and the two sides made a judgment.
While cowering, the fighting spirit is high.
Not to mention the first step of the Beidi army to attack the city, even the cloud ladder can't climb halfway!
Under the rocks and trees, I don't know how many people fell miserably.
Most of the soldiers around the ladder waved the swords in their hands, blocking arrows indiscriminately, and out of fear, they did not dare to climb the ladder for a long time.
But on the battlefield, the more timid they are, the faster they will die!
After more than an hour of fierce fighting, Shane, who was looking at the overall situation, couldn't stand it anymore, pulled the reins angrily, and turned the horse's head: "Withdraw first!" ”
As soon as he left, Beidi Mingjin sounded, and the army in front began to rush like a tide, leaving corpses behind.
This siege battle, for Beidi, is really aggrieved.
In the era of cold weapons, a city was not so easy to capture, and many times, tens of thousands of troops could not even capture one or two thousand defenders.
The main reason is that the city is too tall and condescending, and if you want to come up, you have to climb the ladder, which gives the defender a certain advantage.
Limited to the area of the battlefield, even if the attacker's forces were superior, it was impossible for the army to be deployed all at once, and the siege equipment was not developed at that time, and the means of breaking the city were limited.
Coupled with the morale of Beidi, it is strange to be able to fight down!
After the hasty withdrawal of the army, the Beidi army returned to the division camp.
Shane's face was even more ugly than yesterday.
All the generals were sluggish, and many of them kept their heads down and remained silent.
Some people also said: "If Tang Yue is not there, this city is easy to break, but there are people in it, our soldiers are afraid of its name, and they are afraid of the battle, this is a very serious problem, if it continues to attack like this, I am afraid that the casualties will be very large." ”
Another humanitarian: "The Qin army is heavily defended and has sufficient equipment to defend the city, so from the current point of view, it is not the best strategy to attack strongly, it is better to trap Jingchuan from all directions and cut off Tang Yue's supplies." ”
Hearing this, Vice Adjutant General Beidi said: "But Jingchuan is an important military town, and a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance must be hoarded in the city. ”
"Wouldn't it be better if Zhao Mu supported? They don't have a tactic in the Central Plains, called besieging the city and sending reinforcements, which can be used for this. ”
After discussing this, Shane also nodded slowly, and said: "Well, at present, this tactic can be adopted, and now Tang Yue's side is like a rainbow, and it is not appropriate to use its edge." ”
After speaking, he immediately decided: "Order, starting tomorrow, besiege but not attack, wait for the enemy to be slightly weaker, and then take Jingchuan before it is too late!" ”
"Yes!" All the generals saluted in unison.
The Beidi offensive was frustrated, and the Tang Yue had no choice but to do so, so Shane immediately changed his tactics and began to change from a strong attack to a long-term siege posture, and all his troops were also surrounded by regiments from four directions.
This situation was soon discovered by the Qin army.
After learning about the current situation, Tang Yue also started a discussion with the generals.
He didn't have any panic, but he didn't care, because there was indeed plenty of food and grass in Jingchuan City.
Ai Ping said: "I'm not afraid of besieging the city, but the last general is a little worried, this is Beidi's plan to besiege the city and send reinforcements, which is intended to lure me to reinforcements." ”
"En......" Tang Yue nodded thoughtfully, and after thinking for a moment, he said directly: "In that case, you immediately send a letter to Zhao Mu and tell him that you don't need to pay attention to Jingchuan." ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Ai Ping didn't react a little, others were surrounded, and they couldn't wait to ask for support, how could anyone refuse reinforcements?
But Tang Yue had already said again: "That's it!" ”
"This, yes, the last general is going to deliver the message."
The army besieged the city and the traffic was blocked, but it could not stop the Qin army's intelligence.
Zhao Mu's defense line is not too far from Jingchuan, about three hundred miles, only one day's work, and there are already falcons circling over the barracks.
After a while, a Snow Clan leader stepped in with a curtain, clenched his fists and said, "General, a letter from Jingchuan." ”
"Oh? Take it to me. Zhao Mu's face was straight.
The small bamboo tube was handed to the handsome case, and the latter opened it, pulled out the small cloth strip inside, and unfolded it to look at it, and his brows suddenly frowned.
Seeing this, General Qin couldn't help but ask, "General, dare to ask what?" ”
Zhao Mu put away the cloth and said: "Jingchuan is besieged, and the main force of Beidi intends to besiege the city and send reinforcements." ”
"So, what then?"
"En......" Zhao Mu pondered for a while: "Tang Yue's meaning is that we don't have to pay attention to it, but on my side, I am a little worried that Shane will not die, if the siege is too long, it will inevitably have an accident, so our department will immediately dispatch 30,000 horses and horses, from the side and rear, close to Jingchuan, but do not enter the ambush road, only as a garrison, so as not to break through when Tang Yue wants to break through, and we can also respond in time." ”
After speaking, he also looked at a partial general and made a decision directly: "General Liu, you go on this matter." ”
"No!" The latter shook his fist.
In this way, the two sides began to deploy separately.
A few days later, Beidi received military information, saying that Zhao Mu's 30,000 soldiers and horses had galloped to the direction of Jingchuan.
At the beginning, the generals of Beidi, together with Shane, were overjoyed and prepared for a full-scale ambush, but the 30,000 soldiers and horses, after approaching Jingchuan, never left, began to camp in place, and set up a military defense line.
At this moment, people were dumbfounded.
In the big tent, his lieutenant general was stunned and said, "This, what does Qin Jun mean by this?" ”
"Looks like they've seen through our ambush intentions." Shane shook his head, and then said, "Keep going!" I don't believe it, they really don't support it! ”
But Tang Yue's side is in a state of great victory, and there is no shortage of food and grass, where is there a little panic, and more importantly, now the reinforcements are not far from Jingchuan, through the falcon, both sides can even pass multiple letters in one day, and if there is any news, you can know immediately.
In this case, Beidi wanted to rely on superior forces to encircle Jingchuan, but in the same way, it was 200,000 mouths.
In the end, it was Shane's side who couldn't stand it, and the generals of Beidi also began to have a heated discussion on whether to continue the siege.
Some people suggested that we should fight with the Qin army for supplies, and our side would continue to transport grain and grass to the front line, but we would not withdraw.
But someone immediately said that they were fighting in the cold, the supply line was not in the country, and there was a risk of being robbed halfway, and Zhao Mu was still eyeing him from the side, if he fought hard to supply, he didn't know how much grain and grass there was in Jingchuan City.
The most basic element of the siege is that you have to ensure the safety of the traffic arteries behind.
But in the case of the Beidi Army, it is obvious that this cannot be done.
At this point in the battle, a dilemma arose for Shane, and in the end, after discussion, he chose the opinion of the majority and temporarily withdrew his troops.
But the withdrawal of troops is also a technical job.
