Chapter 937: Conquer Zhao Longmen and the Qin Army Capture a Zhao City!
Shangyang Hou and Zhengyipin Hussar General Du Changjing led the remaining 40,000 iron cavalry and seven directly subordinate artillery battalions, with a total of 47,000 troops to stay in Beixia City, waiting for the good news of the four generals Ma Daring, Shao Junguang, Xiao Xiong, and Shizong!
At the same time, the Great Zhao Dynasty, Tianyang County, Jincheng!
Tianyang County, located in the northeast of the Great Zhao Dynasty, is the target of the Longmen Qin army, and Jincheng is a border city, only more than 300 miles away from Longmen Pass.
Outside the North City Gate!
A hundred artillery positions composed of five directly subordinate artillery battalions were lined up seven hundred steps outside the city, and a hundred steps behind the artillery positions were the main array of 50,000 Qin troops.
Zhao Hao's way of doing things was the same as that of most Qin generals, and when there was no suspense about the victory, Zhao Hao sent people to the city to persuade him to surrender.
The Jincheng county magistrate is a young man, named Zhang Hu, who has served as the county magistrate for less than a year, maybe he is young and vigorous or Zhao people have the will to defend the land to the death, Zhang Hu refused to surrender without hesitation, and shouted loudly:
"There are only 300 officials in Jincheng, and there are only more than 20,000 people in the city, and the whole city is not enough for half of the Qin army, but whether it is the officers and soldiers, or the people in the city, they swear to live and die with Jincheng!"
When the words fell, a large number of people emerged from the city tower, some of them were gorgeously dressed, some were dressed in patches of coarse cloth, some were dignified and gentlemanly, some were skinny, their skin was yellow, and the weapons in their hands were also different, including swords, knives, kitchen knives, hoes and other various weapons.
They belong to different classes of people, but their hearts are the same at this moment, that is, they swear to live and die with Jincheng, and each of them has the heart to die!
Faced with such a reply, Zhao Hao only had two cold words: "Fire!" ”
He is no longer the original hooded general, after experiencing the Northern Expedition in the desert, Du Changjing forced him to order the slaughter of Hun women and children, he has already transformed into a cold-blooded general, and will not give up the attack because the enemy is an ordinary person!
"Fire!"
"Boom! Boom! ”
"Boom-"
As the order to fire the cannon was passed down, a hundred ugly bull cannons shook their bodies and roared at the city wall, and one after another cannonballs shot in the air and hit the city wall fiercely.
The sound of violent explosions was incessant, and the blazing waves carried the rubble in all directions, mercilessly smashing into the crowd of the city towers, blood splattering everywhere, and the red blood stained the charred city walls, and mutilated corpses fell on the ruined walls.
Under the continuous roar of the Qin army's artillery position, the northern city wall quickly turned into a ruin shrouded in a sea of fire, but Zhao Hao did not stop there, and under an order, a hundred ugly cow artillery extended their barrels and launched a covering artillery bombardment of the city!
It didn't take long for the houses in the city near the walls to be torn apart by shells, and the entire houses were razed to the ground, and the people who were hiding in the houses were either killed on the spot, crushed by the collapsed houses, or pierced through the chest by rubble.
In front of the Qin army's artillery, the so-called morale and the so-called war spirit became fragile.
After 30 rounds of shelling and 3,000 shells, Zhao waved his sword and ordered the whole army to charge.
"Kill!"
"Rush!!"
The brave and fearless soldiers of the Qin army stepped through the ruins in front of them with their weapons in hand, and began to occupy various areas of Jincheng.
Since Zhao Hao has not suffered the loss of the Zhao people, he has become the second person to suffer the loss of the Zhao people after Luo Xing, and the reason for the loss is naturally that the Zhao people pretend to be pitiful, win the sympathy of the soldiers of the Qin army, and then kill them with one blow, although this method is simple, it is very vicious.
All of a sudden, the Qin army suffered heavy casualties, and three or four hundred soldiers were killed.
Zhao was furious and ordered the city to be slaughtered!
This can't be blamed on Zhao for being ruthless, this is Zhao Ren's own fault.
If you don't surrender, it's just that, and you still play these despicable methods, and the soldiers of the Qin army can't recognize whether they are friends or enemies, only by slaughtering the city can solve all the problems, and you won't have time to pretend to be pitiful when you see one and kill the other.
This massacre lasted for two hours, and the 50,000 Longmen Qin army slaughtered all the men, women and children in the city, making Jincheng a ghost city, I don't know how many years it will take to restore the prosperity and liveliness of the past, but one thing is for sure, the people who live in this city in the future will definitely not be Zhao people!
The end of the massacre also meant that Jincheng completely fell into the hands of the Qin army.
After capturing Jincheng, Zhao Hao chose to rest temporarily, and did not have the idea of dividing the troops, it was really not enough for the main army, and if the troops were divided, the main force would be even less.
Troops, limit Zhao Hao's tactics!
At the same time that Zhao Hao captured Jincheng, Luo Xing, who had captured Beichang for many days, decided to divide his troops to attack the counties of Beichang County after discussion!
Beichang County has six counties under its jurisdiction, namely: Xiucheng, Dicheng, Shangchecheng, Beichang City, South China City, and Guicheng!
Xiucheng is located in the east of Beichang County, more than 400 miles away from Beichang City, Dicheng is located in the southeast of Beichang County, more than 450 miles away from Beichang City, Shangche City is located in the south of Beichang County, close to the north bank of the Yellow River, the famous Huangjiang Rope Bridge is on the south bank of Shangche City, about 500 miles away from Beichang City.
Needless to say, Beichang City has been captured, South China City is located in the west of Beichang County, more than 500 miles away from Beichang, Guicheng is located in the northwest of Beichang County, just 100 miles north of South China City, and only more than 500 miles away from Beichang City.
The battle plan between the Tiger Prison Army and the Steppe Legion is as follows:
