Volume 2 Jihui Ningdu Chapter 260 Lost in the first battle
At the time, everything was ready, and Xuanyuan came to the viewing platform.
The war began, and fifty catapults threw stones into the city again, and the siege at this time caused chaos on the walls of Heyuan Mansion.
The eldest grandson Mingyue waved his hand, and Shangguan Xiu led his four thousand men to take the lead in the charge.
Due to the small number of defenders on duty on the city wall, under the frantic stone throwing of catapults, the archers of the city wall could not shoot arrows, so they could only let Shangguan Xiu rush to the city.
Several rushing trucks began to storm the city gates, and it didn't take long for the city gates to be smashed.
Xuanyuan Ding looked at the crumbling city gate, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It seems that Shangguan Xiu will be able to rush into the city soon." ”
"Mingwei, you let the cavalry prepare, as soon as the city gate is opened, let the cavalry attack immediately, quickly enter the city and take the city wall." The eldest grandson Mingyue said.
"Yes!"
Finally, under the cover of the catapult, Shangguan Xiu smashed the city gate open with almost no losses.
Under normal circumstances, as soon as the city gate is opened, there will be a defender in the city to meet them, but when the time comes, most of the garrisons in the city should be sleeping, so they expect that there will be about 500 foot soldiers in the city to resist.
In this regard, Shangguan Xiu felt that he was completely able to eat it, and then welcomed the Chengfeng army into the city and annihilated all the garrisons at the south gate, and he was the first to break the city!
Remember the URL
Thinking of this, Shangguan Xiu's blood boiled.
But the moment the city gate fell, he saw a uniform cavalry team appear in the city, with more than 3,000 people, led by Chen Zhi, the cavalry general of Heyuan Mansion!
"Chen Zhi! How...... How can it be! Shangguan Xiu was blindfolded all of a sudden.
"Kill!" Chen Zhi took the lead with a spear, and took the lead in picking up the soldiers who rushed into the city first, and then the cavalry in the city poured out like a tide, killing Shangguan Xiu's soldiers in all directions.
And the oncoming cavalry of the Chengfeng Army also did not expect a horse to come out of the city, and did not prepare for a relative charge, their speed was not as fast as the cavalry of Chen Zhi, who was charging, and they fell behind.
Cavalry dealing with foot soldiers is no different from chopping vegetables.
After a round of charge, not only the cavalry of the Chengfeng Army was scattered, but Shangguan Xiu's 4,000 foot soldiers lost more than half.
"How is that possible?" Eldest Sun Mingyue stared at the scene that appeared in the city gate with wide eyes, and now that she was caught off guard, she hurriedly shouted, "Mingjin! Mingjin! ”
When the golden drum sounded, a dense crowd of soldiers defending the city appeared on the city wall, and countless pikemen also appeared at the city gate, following Chen Zhi's cavalry team to harvest the lives of the besieging army.
When Shangguan Xiu and the Chengfeng army withdrew, they had already suffered heavy losses.
The eldest grandson Mingyue clenched his fists tightly, judging from this battle, the city was already prepared!
There are at least 5,006 people on the city wall, and Chen Zhi's cavalry is 3,000 plus 3,000 spearmen, and now the defenders at the south gate of Heyuan Mansion are 12,000 people!
The cavalry of the Chengfeng Army had 1,000 people, more than 30%, and Shangguan Xiu's soldiers were even worse, with less than 1,500 people running back.
"Let the machine gun crew get on the line, right?" The eldest grandson Mingwei whispered.
Eldest Sun Mingyue raised his hand and said, "No, a small Heyuan Mansion can't consume too many bullets!" ”
On this expedition, the Chengfeng army did not have many bullets, and if every city needed machine guns and rifles, then they could not fight in the cities behind.
When Shangguan Xiu was hit before, the reason why he used machine guns was that there were not many people sent by Shangguan Xiu at that time, only 1,000 people. Second, it should play a deterrent role.
The attack on Heyuan Mansion cannot rely entirely on machine guns, there are 20,000 defenders in Heyuan Mansion, and if you use machine guns, the consumption is too great.
Moreover, attacking the city cannot only rely on machine guns, even if the 20,000 defenders are killed with machine guns, what is the use of getting this city?
She still hopes to be able to wear down the morale of Heyuan Mansion, and it is best to surrender all, so that in the future war, more Chengfeng troops can be retained.
"Heyuan Mansion doesn't seem to have been tricked! Young Patriarch, I see that the morale of the defenders is high, and I am afraid that your plan to attack the heart has failed. Xuanyuan Ding said a little depressed.
The eldest grandson Mingyue had to admit that his plan to attack the heart had indeed failed.
The situation of Heyuan Mansion had been clearly investigated before she came, and she felt that after so many days of trebuchet siege in a row, Xie Yuan's spirit was about to face a collapse, and it should be the right time to capture the city, and the resistance on the city wall could be seen at the beginning.
But why, after the city gate is broken, there will be cavalry? Now the morale of Heyuan Mansion is so high?
She couldn't figure out what the problem was.
"Lord Commander, I ......" Shangguan Xiu came to the viewing platform covered in blood, kneeling down on one knee, looking extremely embarrassed.
"General Shangguan has worked hard, and this battle is a mistake in the judgment of the commander. You take your soldiers down to rest first. The eldest grandson Mingyue did not blame him, and took the blame on himself.
After Shangguan Xiu left, she said to Xuanyuan Ding, "Your Majesty, hang up your dragon flag." ”
Although Chen Zhi won a small victory, he did not chase it out. Now there are 30,000 troops outside the city, and his 3,000 cavalry is an indispensable force for him to defend the city, and he must not fold outside the city.
After ordering his soldiers to repair the gates as soon as possible, he put on his armor and walked up to the city walls.
"General, the enemy army has hoisted a flag!" Jiang Yiming greeted him and spoke.
"Oh?" For so long, he still didn't know what the enemy came from, and now that the flag was hung, it seemed that the other party was planning to talk to them.
The flag was erected in the center of the viewing platform of the barracks outside the city, and by the light of the fire in the barracks, he could see clearly that the flag was a yellow brocade cloth embroidered with nine dragons, and in addition, there was a big word "Xia".
Chen Zhi frowned, "Xia? ”
The only countries that can hit Heyuan Mansion from the south are the three countries of Beimeng, Donghai and Chu, and in his impression, among these three countries, there are no famous generals surnamed Xia. He didn't think of it at all with the Xuanyuan royal family, after all, the people of the Xuanyuan royal family were all in Ningdu, and the Xuanyuan royal family had no army under them, so it was impossible for them to come here.
The eldest grandson, Mingwei, was ordered to ride a white horse and walk slowly in the direction of Heyuan Mansion.
After entering the range of the archers, Jiang Yiming shouted downward, "Coming will stop!" ”
The eldest grandson Mingwei grabbed the horse rope, raised his head and said, "Please see General Xie Yuanxie, the guard general of Heyuan Mansion!" ”
"Women?" Chen Zhi and the others were stunned, they didn't expect that the person under the city was actually a woman.
"Who are you?" Although Chen Zhi was curious about why there was a woman in the army, he saw that she was wearing armor and had an extraordinary momentum, and he knew that he could not treat her like an ordinary woman.
"I am Sun Mingwei, the leader of the Chengfeng Army's counterinsurgency vanguard under the command of Emperor Great Xia. Please come out and talk to me, General Xie! ”
"Emperor Great Xia? Bah! Where did the Great Xia Emperor come from? I'm afraid that this woman of yours is crazy and crazy, how can you be qualified to see our General Xie!'" Jiang Yiming said disdainfully.
The eldest grandson Mingwei was not annoyed, "Since General Xie didn't dare to come out to meet, he didn't want to talk?" ”
Chen Zhi spoke, "This general, I am Chen Zhi, the cavalry general of Heyuan Mansion, if you have anything to talk to me, it is the same." ”
"Little Lang General, how can you be the master of Heyuan Mansion?" The eldest grandson Mingwei said disdainfully.
"What did you say?"
"Stinky woman, dare to insult our General Chen!"
"Look for death!"
"I've all lost the battle, and I'm still so arrogant!"
"Crazy woman, if you dare to insult General Chen, I, Jiang Yiming, will definitely make you pay!" The soldiers on the city wall were angry, and Jiang Yiming couldn't help it.
"Archer, shoot this crazy woman down for me!" He gave another order for the archers to shoot arrows.
Dozens of archers on the city wall drew their bows, and dozens of arrows shot towards Changsun Mingwei, but she didn't have any intention of dodging, and she didn't react at all when she sat on the horse.
Seeing the archers on the city wall shooting arrows at Changsun Mingwei, Xuanyuan was in a hurry, and hurriedly said to Changsun Mingyue, "Young patriarch, hurry up and order the catapult to throw stones to cover General Mingwei's retreat!" ”
The eldest grandson Mingyue didn't have any expression, and said lightly, "No need, Mingwei can handle it." ”
Seeing that the long arrow was about to hit Changsun Mingwei, I saw her jump lightly, step on the horse's back, take off into the air, and transport her internal force with both hands. A faint white light stroked out of her palms, enveloping the arrow. Then she moved her hands and changed the direction of the dozens of long arrows, and as soon as the force was retracted, those long arrows fell to the ground not far away.
She rolled over in mid-air and landed back on her horse.
"Internal force transforms! Innate level! Chen Zhi was shocked by her hand.
"I want to see how good you are! Archers, get ready again! Jiang Yiming saw that this round of arrow rain attack failed, and he was very unwilling to admit defeat.
"Stop!" Chen Zhi spoke out to stop it.
"General?" Jiang Yiming was puzzled, "This female martial artist is strong, she should be shot here, otherwise it will be very unfavorable to us in the future!" ”
Chen Zhi shook his head, "The other party is already an innate level master, and ordinary bows and arrows are not much of a threat to her, let alone kill her." ”
Chen Zhi is an acquired five-fold, so he naturally knows what the innate represents in the realm of martial arts.
To deal with a master of the innate level, unless it is a divine soldier, or a strong bow, or a master who is also an innate master, it is very easy to kill.
Seeing that Chen Zhi stopped the archers from shooting arrows at her, a smile appeared on the corner of Changsun Mingwei's mouth, "What, General Chen doesn't want to kill me?" ”
"General Changsun, what do you want to say, just follow me. I can represent Heyuan Province. ”
"Good. Your Majesty is merciful, and you don't want to see the people of Heyuan Mansion suffer, otherwise the small city will not be able to resist Your Majesty's iron horse. Therefore, I was specially ordered to pass the word. As long as Heyuan Mansion surrenders, everything will be fine! ”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter on the city walls.
"Crazy woman, are you going to laugh off the captain's big teeth? You've just besieged the city, you've lost the battle, and now you want us to surrender? I think it's better for you to surrender! ”
There was no smile on Chen Zhi's face, he knew that the situation in Heyuan Mansion was not as optimistic as Jiang Yiming said.
Although this battle, they won the victory. However, there are still 30,000 troops outside the city, and if they want to break the city, it just depends on whether the other party is willing to spend blood, and they have besieged the city for so long, just because they don't want to lose too many troops in vain.
Once you resist to the end, the other party will be angry and will definitely attack the city at all costs.
At that time, the stubborn resistance of Heyuan Mansion will definitely provoke the anger of the other party's commander, and maybe even order the slaughter of the city!
"General Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "General Changsun, can you give us half a month to discuss?" ”
"General, you ......"
"Shut up!" Chen Zhi knew what Jiang Yiming wanted to say, so he stopped his words.
"Humph!" Eldest Sun Mingwei snorted coldly, "General Chen, I know you want to delay time, we can give you time!" However, this time cannot be so long! ”
"Three days! Just three days! Give you three days to think! If after three days, Heyuan Mansion does not surrender, after the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs! ”
After saying that, she turned around and left.
"General, are you planning to surrender to them?" Jiang Yiming asked with a disappointed expression.
"Hey!" Chief Chen sighed, "She's right, I want to delay a little longer and wait for reinforcements to arrive!" ”
"But...... Now that Shujin Mansion is blocked, it is impossible to come to support, and Bai Yuancheng only sent three thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people. We...... There are no reinforcements at all! ”
The only thing that can be supported in the south direction of Heyuan Mansion is the reinforcements of Shujin Mansion that comes along the river, and there is only Baiyuan City in the north, and there is no plan to send troops over, the west is a mountain range, and it is impossible to come to reinforcements, and the east is a distant Zihu, where can there be reinforcements?
"Who says we don't?"
"Huh? Reinforcements? Who is it? Jiang Yiming's eyes showed a hint of surprise, he really couldn't think of where there would be reinforcements?
