Chapter 694: Song Zheng!
While Zheng Long was angry, he also absorbed this lesson, and he didn't dare to go out of the city to take the initiative, and Zheng Long didn't have the heart to be angry, because Qian Guangxiao, the general of Great Qin Huaiyuan, had already led 50,000 Qin troops to Xinyang City.
After Qian Guangxiao led the army to Xinyang City, he did not launch an attack, but besieged but did not attack!
You read that right, 50,000 troops surrounded Xinyang City, which had 500,000 garrisons, except for the East City Gate, there were 20,000 Qin troops, and there were only 10,000 Qin troops outside the other three gates, besieging the city with troops ten times weaker than the enemy, that is, the Qin army did it.
What is the concept of Xinyang City, where 50,000 troops surround 500,000 garrisons? It means that the Qin army may have to face to face with 10,000 troops to engage 500,000 enemy troops, 1:50, theoretically, the Qin army needs to kill 50 people with one person to stop the enemy army from pouring out.
But the war is not fought by troops, but by morale and combat effectiveness, although the 10,000 Qin army is small, but the morale is like a rainbow, and the combat power is against the sky, on the other hand, Zheng Long's 500,000 army, of which more than 200,000 are old, weak, sick and disabled, and 300,000 recruits.
Moreover, the soldiers of the Qin army are all strong, powerful, and more than seven feet tall, in the eyes of ordinary people, they can be regarded as tall people, and the soldiers of Zheng Long's army, nine out of ten are as thin as dry bones, with thin faces and yellow muscles, whether it is hardware or software, the Qin army is crushing Zheng Long's army.
In Zheng Long's eyes, although the Qin army is strong, the Qin army has been in the customs for more than half a year, I believe that it will not be long before the Qin army will have problems with logistics, and then the Qin emperor will have to give up the war and return to the court.
Zheng Long thought very beautifully, but after a few days, he found out that he didn't know if there was a problem with the logistics of the Qin army, anyway, there was a problem with his logistics, it turned out that more than half of the grain sent by the Shikun landlord family in various places was inedible rotten grain!
An army of 500,000 has a mouth, which is 5,000 stone of grain a day, and half of the rotten grain stored in the city is only 200,000 stone of grain, and 200,000 stone of grain, which is only enough for 500,000 troops to last for 40 days.
Now, it's up to who lasts the longest!
October 1, 24th year of Holy Qin!
Pei Ji, the commander of the Xianyang Palace and the commander of the Praetorian Guard, joined forces with Xiao Xiong, the general of Lingjiang, and jointly captured the capital of Luhe in Northern Menghou Tangze.
This battle is known as the Battle of the Land River!
In the Battle of Luhe, 40,000 Praetorian Guards were the main force of the siege, under the storm of arrows of the Praetorian Guards, Tang Ze's 50,000 garrisons could not withstand at all, and the casualties were heavy.
In the end, after the army suffered more than 5,000 casualties, Tang Ze and other generals led the army out of the city to meet the battle, and the Qin army relied on the advantage of the eight-stone crossbow to shoot at an ultra-long distance, and the 45,000 army went out of the city, and when it was close to the Qin army's array, only 30,000 remained, and more than 15,000 Tang troops died on the way to the charge.
The Tang army approached the array of the Qin army, Pei Ji directly ordered the soldiers to put away the eight-stone crossbow without saying a word, and pulled out the ring head knife to cut towards the Tang army, and at the same time, the 100,000 iron cavalry of the Lingjiang general Xiao Xiong also launched a flank raid, and after an hour-long battle, this war came to an end!
In the Battle of Luhe, the 50,000 Tang Army was annihilated, Tang Ze was also beheaded by Pei Ji himself, and the generals under Tang Ze were also hacked to death by the soldiers of the Qin Army, and the casualties of the Qin Army in the Battle of Luhe exceeded 1,000, including 600 killed, 100 seriously wounded, and 300 lightly wounded.
The Qin army is well-equipped, well-trained, brave and good at fighting, it is not an exaggeration to be able to play this kind of record, Tang Ze chose to resist stubbornly, he was really looking for death, thinking that he could defeat the Qin army with righteousness alone, and the righteousness was not only available to the Tang army, but also to the Qin army.
Be with your son, repair my spear!
The Tang army had it, the Qin army had it, the Qin army had it, and the Tang army basically didn't have it.
After the Qin army won the Battle of Luhe, the morale of the Qin army increased again, and then Pei Ji and Xiao Xiong led the army south to attack Song Zheng, the king of Yun, leaving only a thousand Janissaries to guard the Luhe, as for the remaining two counties of Northern Meng, Pei Ji and Xiao Xiong chose to ignore it.
Destroy the main force of the enemy army first!
....
On the side of Haozhou County, the battle situation here was smoother than that of Meng County, and the enemy army did not hesitate to raise the white flag and surrender as soon as they saw Bai Qi coming, so that the Qin army did not waste a soldier and a soldier to capture five counties of Haozhou County, including the capital of Chengzhou.
The capital was lost, Hao Zhou waited for He Jie to flee to Donghai County, intending to make a comeback, but how could Bai Qi and Aluk Ge let him go, less than ten days, the main force of the Qin army appeared under Donghai City, and finally He Jie had no way to escape, and led his troops to surrender!
When Bai Qi and Aluke Ge easily took the eight counties of Haozhou County, the battle situation in Meng County fell into a state of anxiety!
Mengcheng, the county capital of Mengjun!
North City Gate!
Seven hundred steps away from the North City Gate, the black armor army of Wu Yang stood all over the land, the black 'Qin' character military flag fluttered in the wind, and every soldier had a grim face and sharp eyes looking at the North City Tower of Mengcheng seven hundred steps away!
The Meng city wall is three feet high, and there is a moat outside the four major city gates of five hundred, which is considered a strong city.
"General Pei, this guy Song Zheng is closed, how should this be?"
Xiao Xiong, who was standing at the forefront of the army on a war horse, asked with a more solemn expression, next to him, Pei Ji also stood at the forefront of the army on a war horse, and when he heard Xiao Xiong's question, Pei Ji said calmly: "The crossbowmen's quiver has been exhausted in the Battle of Luhe, and our army has lost the advantage of ultra-long-range suppression!" ”
"There is no rain of crossbow arrows, and there are no siege equipment, in this case, if we want to break through Mengcheng, it is tantamount to ascending to the sky, what we have to do now is to wait for Song Zheng to go out of the city to fight!"
Xiao Xiong frowned slightly, "Will Song Zheng go out of the city to fight?" ”
"Yes!" Pei Ji smiled confidently.
Song relied on the top family of the Song family to provide military supplies to maintain the daily consumption of the army, and now the Song family has been wiped out for more than a month, so Song Zheng has not been supplied for more than a month, and the 250,000 army has not been supplied for a month, and the situation is worrying.
In this case, if Song Zheng does not go out of the city to face the battle, then sooner or later it will cause a mutiny, after all, people are giving you their lives for a bite to eat, you didn't commit a crime to give them food, and you still want them to give you their lives?
Seeing that Pei Ji was so confident, Xiao Xiong stopped talking and waited quietly.
Mengcheng, Beicheng Tower!
A middle-aged man in black armor and a sword at his waist stood on the edge of the protective wall, looking at the Qin army seven hundred steps away with a pair of eyes full of hatred, he was the famous Cloud King Song Zheng, the second in command of the Song family!
