Chapter 42: Onslaught

When the scouts of Daliang paid close attention to the camp of the Dali army, the main army of Dali had quietly appeared outside the city of Xiangzhou, two hundred miles away from the north, and began to bombard the city of Xiangzhou. After the angry Daliang soldiers tried their best to exterminate the 5,000 Dali soldiers, they immediately rushed to Xiangzhou City to rescue.

In the eyes of Daliang, the Dali army bombarded Xiangzhou City, presumably to attack the city all the way and capture the city, but after the army galloped to Xiangzhou City, it was found that there were only more than 5,000 dead soldiers in the Dali military camp outside Xiangzhou City, and the army of Dali had appeared in Xingzhou City, three hundred miles northwest of Xiangzhou City, and when the army of Daliang annihilated the 5,000 Dali soldiers and continued to gallop to Xingzhou City, what remained outside Xingzhou City was still an empty camp and 5,000 Dali soldiers, Dali's army appeared in Hengzhou City, three hundred miles to the north.

This series of rapid marches, Dali's army with 10,000 soldiers to win precious time, completely disrupted the position of the Liang people, and the Daliang army got the message is always to slow down, always can not keep up with the pace of the Dali army, seeing that the Dali army is getting closer and closer to Yanjing City, the ruling class of the North Liang finally felt panicked, and hurriedly sent heavy troops to defend, and according to common sense, the next target of the Dali army is Dingzhou, two hundred miles north of Hengzhou City, Two hundred miles further up is Youzhou City, and further north is the ...... Yanjing, this is an extremely terrible message, if the army of Daliang is approaching outside Yanjing City, under a round of artillery fire, even the strongest city wall can not withstand it, so Emperor Xiao He of Liang Wu immediately mobilized a large army to defend Youzhou City, and it is necessary to stop Dali's army five hundred miles away from Yanjing City.

After the Dali army bombed the city of Hengzhou, it still did not choose to capture the city, and continued to march northward, according to the expectations of the North Liang appeared outside the city of Dingzhou City, so outside the city of Youzhou suddenly gathered 100,000 troops to stand by, and Dali's army still took the way of leaving an empty camp every time it arrived in a city, and when it came to the outside of Dingzhou City, the original 90,000 army was reduced to 70,000 at once, a sharp decrease of 20,000, and it was these 20,000 people, But it played an extremely important role in intercepting the Liang army that was pursuing behind him, and just as the Liang army was camped outside Youzhou City and prepared to fight with Dali's army, the Dali army disappeared from the field of vision of the Daliang people after leaving five thousand soldiers and horses, and did not appear outside Youzhou City, this time, the Liang people panicked, I don't know where the Dali army went, and two days later, the Dali army appeared out of nowhere, four hundred miles east of Hengzhou City, this time, Dali's army chose to storm Cangzhou City, after a round of artillery fire, Cangzhou City fell directly, and overnight, Dali's army completed the looting of Cangzhou City's grain and grass, and quietly disappeared out of the field of vision of the Liang people.

At this time, Daliang's army was completely messed up, Dali's army went around in a big circle, and then went north directly to Cangzhou, even the fool also knew that this could bypass the seriously ill defense of Youzhou City, and it was directly forced outside Yanjing City, so the Liang army stationed in Youzhou desperately rushed to Yanjing, for fear of being overtaken by Daliang's army, and had been stationed outside Yanjing, but when Daliang's army rushed back to Yanjing, it was found that a military camp of Dali's army had been erected on the outskirts of Yanjing. Suddenly the despair spread among the army of Daliang, this way, the army of Daliang has always been led by Dali's nose, along the way did not catch a cold hair of the Dali army, and seeing that the Liang troops chasing behind were about to catch up with Dali's troops, but they were always intercepted on the road by the five thousand Dali soldiers who were left behind, and so on to annihilate these enemies, the Dali troops were without a trace.

In this era of cold weapons, the transmission of information is very slow, so this time, Dali is to use the price of more than 20,000 soldiers, and the reasonable use of the enemy's weakness of lagging information transmission, in one fell swoop to contain the main force of the other party, and at the same time completed the established strategic goals, appeared outside Yanjing City, and rushed down for days, the army of Dali has long been sleepy, and the existence of the deterrent power of artillery, Dali's army is not worried about anything? You can camp outside Yanjing City safely to rest, recuperate, and wait until you are well rested before attacking the city in one fell swoop, and it is naturally the ruling class of Northern Liang who is restless, the king in the palace of Northern Liang, Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao He.

Although the Dali army is facing the situation of being surrounded by heavy encirclement at the moment, there are 50,000 Liang troops and 50,000 forbidden troops in the north to guard the eyes, and there are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses from Youzhou in the west, and there are also a large number of Liang troops who followed along the way in the south, only there is no Liang army in the east, and the arrival of the Dali army has already made Emperor Xiao He of Liang Wu frightened, plus the Dali army arrived outside Yanjing City is not in a hurry to attack, but to rest, which makes the royal family and forbidden army soldiers in Yanjing City panic.

In this case, Emperor Xiao He of Liang Wu also clearly realized that if he waited for the army of Dali to bombard Yanjing City, then this war would be lost without fighting, so he directly sent a large number of troops from three directions to attack, but the situation of this battle was very different from the battle of Dengzhou City, Dali had more than 60,000 troops, more than 2,000 troops, and it was a strict battle, scouts were not around, as long as the Dali army entered their camp within five kilometers, the artillery fire would immediately roar. And the reason why Daliang was able to make Duan Chong suffer a big loss last time was the reason why he seized the opportunity to attack, and for Duan Chong and Zheng Kangdi, this kind of mistake will never be made a second time.

Therefore, the outcome of the assault can be imagined, Liang Liang Wu Emperor Xiao He launched two thousand extremely tragic assaults in succession within three days, of course, this tragic word is only for the army of Daliang, because the army of the two attacks on the Liang Dynasty did not even rush through the artillery line of the Dali army, the Dali army has a total of more than 2,000 cannons, and there are 700 guns in each direction, and the power of the salvo is too huge, so after the two attacks, the Liang army left a total of more than 50,000 corpses, But he didn't even touch a single hair of the Dali army.

Then Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao He was still extremely unwilling, and chose the army to detour to the east of the Dali army for a strong attack, but when the army rushed to the Dali military camp five miles away, the sound of artillery fire was merciless, and the army of the Great Liang immediately knew that this operation had failed, and retreated again in a hurry after leaving thousands of corpses.

The situation for Daliang has fallen into infinite passivity, even if all the troops are taken out to attack, it is impossible to attack, and as long as Dali's army is rested, don't say that Yanjing City, even the iron-cast city wall can not withstand such a bombardment of Dali's army, this dilemma is nothing more than this, at this moment, the royal family members and ministers of Beiliang are already like ants on a hot pot, they don't know what to do at all, and some have begun to pack their bags and prepare to flee with the huge amount of money they have saved for many years. On the one hand, he died in vain under the fire of the Dali army, and for a while, Yanjing City, which was already panicked, was even more in turmoil, and there were constantly people who wanted to sneak out of the city.

And time in the blink of an eye to the fifth day, the Dali army was finally ready, began to Yanjing City inhumane bombardment, and this battle situation appeared a very interesting and helpless scene, Dali's army set up artillery began to bombard Yanjing City, shells continued to fall on the city, and the west and south of the two Liang army functions to watch the Dali army bombardment, did not dare to do anything.

And the forbidden army and the Liang soldiers in Yanjing City can only choose to retreat from the city wall helplessly, has been retreating to the range of cannons, the city wall of Yanjing City, there is no Liang soldiers to defend, and Dali's army after bombing the city wall for two hours, the city wall south of this eye is finally completely broken.

And in this way, Dali's army is a little embarrassed, because although the city wall is broken, but their own army is not afraid to storm the city, if the army enters the city, then what greets it may be street fighting and being surrounded by the Liang army, as long as after entering the city, the army of Daliang does not withdraw from Yanjing City, with a desperate attitude to drag the Dali army into the water in the way of street fighting, the role of the cannon will be lower and lower, Dali The 60,000 troops are naturally reserved for the Liang army to chop vegetables.

Therefore, Dali is not in a hurry to attack the city, after capturing the city wall, the camp continued to move forward for two miles, bombarding the buildings in Yanjing City, and at the same time sent a large number of masters to sneak into Yanjing City and set fire, and immediately withdrew after setting fire, and suddenly Yanjing City fell into a sea of fire, and the entire south of the glasses city has become a wasteland, as if there is no city anymore.

It was under such a shameless style of play that the Dali army finally launched a general attack on Yanjing City after thinking that the sharpness of the Daliang army was almost exhausted.
