Chapter 40: The Battle of Jinyang (6)
Seeing that this major Yan Jun was about to step forward to persuade himself, Le Cheng's face turned pale, and he said to this major:
"For the sake of you being a cousin, I won't kill you. Go back and tell your king and your generals what the general said, and don't be too verbose here. ”
This Yan Jun Major looked at Lecheng and didn't say anything more.
With both hands clenched into fists, he bowed to Le Cheng, turned around and walked out.
A personal guard next to Le Cheng followed Le Cheng from Yan Kingdom to Zhao Kingdom.
Seeing this, he said to Le Cheng with a worried face: "General, don't you really think about it?" ”
Le Cheng shook his head, his eyes slowly closed, and whispered to this guard:
"Don't think about it, if I go back to Yan Country now, I will look down on myself."
Outside Jinyang City, the Yan army camp, the Chinese army tent.
After listening to the report sent to the major in the city, Rakuma raised his head and came to the door of the big tent.
Facing the direction of Jinyang City, he said, "Cousin, since you have already made a decision, cousin, I am not welcome." Now you and I, each of us, are our own masters. ”
After speaking, he turned to the generals of the Yan army in the tent and said: "Generals, wait and straighten out the army and horses, and attack the city tomorrow." ”
"No." All the generals of the Yan army in the big tent bowed down to receive the order.
The boulder collided with the city wall, making a "boom, boom" sound, which shook people's eardrums.
The entire Jinyang city head, dust and gravel, splashed everywhere.
On the strong city wall, potholes have been smashed out by the Yan army's catapults.
Dust was falling in many places, and the air was getting muddy.
After half a day of catapult blows, the strong city wall that protects Jinyang City has begun to be a little damaged.
"Jinyang City is worthy of its name, it is indeed a strong city, not inferior to Jimo City at all."
Lejian stood on the command platform outside the city, looked at Jinyang City in front of him, and said to the Yan army general behind him.
"General, will my catapult continue to fire?" A Yan army general asked Chao Lejian.
"Go on, the army will not attack the city today, and I will bombard it with catapults for another day."
Rakuma replied in a calm tone.
"No." This Yan army general left in response.
Then another round of catapult blows began.
Although the catapult did not break through the Jinyang city wall, it dealt a great blow to the morale of the Zhao army defending the city.
"General, I didn't expect the Yan Army's catapult to be so powerful?" Adjutant General Hu Hui said to Le Cheng.
Le Cheng looked at the boulder launched from the Yan army camp under the city, and his face was solemn.
When I was in Yan Kingdom, the siege equipment of the Yan army was really far behind compared to now.
If the Yan army led by the general Le Yi had such a sophisticated catapult, when the Qi State was attacked, the last remaining cities of Jucheng and Jimo in the Qi State would have been conquered by the Yan army long ago.
Judging from the current siege equipment of the Yan army, Yan Kingdom has indeed undergone great changes over the years.
The Yan army's catapults could not break through the walls of Jinyang City, on the one hand, because Jinyang City was indeed a strong city wall; On the other hand, it is also because the moat built outside the city is very wide and the distance is too large.
Above the city tower, Le Cheng stared at the army of the Yan Kingdom under the city.
One by one, the phalanx stretched from the city to the Yan army camp in the distance.
"General Hu Hui, the Yan army's catapult still caused some damage to my Jinyang city wall, and our army can't be careless. In the evening, you led the soldiers to urge the people in the city to repair the city wall that was damaged by the Yan army as soon as possible, and there must be no mistakes. ”
Lecheng turned around and commanded.
"No." The adjutant general bowed in response.
With a new round of blows from the Yan army, a boulder fell to the city wall near the city tower.
The sound of "bang" frightened the surrounding defenders of Zhao State, and they all dodged back.
"General, it's still too dangerous here, just take care of the last general here, you better go down to the city!"
Adjutant General Hu Hui suggested to Lecheng.
Le Cheng waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if the generals are supposed to dodge, let the soldiers pay attention to dodge." ”
After that, Le Cheng continued to stand on the top of the city tower and looked at the Yanjun banner with the word "music" written on the city below.
I saw a boulder fall into the moat and splash all over the sky.
Changguo Junle, who was on the command platform under the city, narrowed his eyes slightly.
After thinking for a while, he said to the herald behind him: "Go and find General Tian who is in charge of the catapult battalion." ”
In less than a moment, Tian Dali, the general in charge of the Yan army's catapult battalion, came to the command platform.
"General Tian, my catapult battalion, can I fill this moat with stones?"
Rakuma asked Tian Dali.
"General Qiyu, there is no problem at all, a small catapult is enough." Tian vigorously bowed and replied.
"Okay, forget it today, tomorrow you let our army assemble some small catapults, and fill the moat for me this day."
With a smile on his face, Rakuma ordered Tian vigorously.
"The last will obey." Tian Dali replied loudly.
The moat of Jinyang City is already within the range of the arrows of the Zhao army defending the city.
If the Yan army attacked the city, when they crossed the moat, they would definitely kill and wound many people.
It was also suddenly that Lema came up with this idea.
It can make your own soldiers suffer fewer casualties. At any time, it is a necessary quality of a good general.
On this day, the Yan army only used catapults to continuously bombard the Jinyang city wall, and did not send soldiers to attack the city directly.
But the sound of bombardment from the city wall made the people in the city uneasy.
At the same time, there are many families in the city.
In the city, Wang Mao's mansion is in the council hall. The master, Wang Mao, was discussing with several family patriarchs in Jinyang City who were good friends about the Yan army's attack on Jinyang City at this time.
"The hundreds of thousands of troops of the Yan army have surrounded the Jinyang City group, and it seems that Jinyang City is not guaranteed again!"
Listening to the sound of bombardment in the distance, one person in the hall said to Wang Mao and the others.
"Yes! Listen, the roar of this sound is like a landslide, and when the Qin army attacked Jinyang, they had never heard this kind of sound. A chubby man stood up and spoke to everyone in the hall.
"I've heard that the Yan army kills a lot of people everywhere they go. I'm not afraid of anything else, but I don't know how this Yan army will treat us after it enters the city? "And another one spoke to them with a look of anxiety on his face.
Suddenly, there was silence in the hall.
It is a matter of life and death for the children of their own family, and everyone is very concerned about this matter.
Wang Mao looked at these old friends in the lower hall, coughed lightly, and said to everyone:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know a little bit about this, the Yan army has strict military discipline, and everywhere it goes, those who stubbornly resist and do not surrender are killed. As for our family and the people, as long as they do not resist the Yan army, it can be said that Qiu has not committed any crimes. ”
"Of course, the main thing is whether the caretaker army resisted? If the resistance is fierce, then after the Yan army enters the city, it will definitely see blood, and it will be ruthless to kill people. ”
