Chapter 211: Siege from all directions
Da-da-da-da!
"Kill!"
Everywhere in the city, the heavy sound of horses' hooves and shouts sounded.
When the infantry slaughtered the head of the city, and the defenders blocking the front were indistinguishable.
The cavalry in charge of the perimeter also received an order to charge.
In a frontal fight, a cavalry charge can easily tear apart the infantry formation.
Tens of thousands of defenders in the city blocked the roads tightly.
With the speed of infantry, you can only kill the enemy, or kill the enemy until the enemy is frightened before continuing to press in.
Even though the border army is well-equipped, its physical fitness and fighting power are far higher than those of the other side.
However, the street is so wide, and only so many people can line up at the front of the contact, and a blockage is formed in the back.
Under the desperate resistance of the defenders, it was difficult to break through quickly in a short time.
Li Jing has been paying attention to the entire battle situation from a high place.
With the help of telescopes, you will have a clear view of the city.
Although the gates of the four cities were broken, the resistance was still fierce.
A fierce battle is underway.
The defenders suffered too many casualties, which is not in line with the grand strategic policy!
In the final analysis, these soldiers who are desperately resisting are also Qin Jun, and they are just carrying out the orders of Shangfeng!
When the traitors led by those are taken down, the resistance will naturally be gone.
And after taking Lingnan, it is still necessary to send heavy troops to defend it.
Otherwise, the local natives will take the opportunity to rebel again.
Back then, Tu Sui was the commander of the expedition to Baiyue, but it was because of the massacre that he was killed by the natives.
It has only been three or four years since Lingnan was incorporated into the territory of Daqin, and many people are still unconvinced and are waiting for the opportunity to resist.
If it weren't for the 500,000 troops guarding it, I'm afraid it would have been a commotion a long time ago.
The hinterland of Great Qin was full of smoke, and the remnants of the six countries rebelled one after another.
This is the best example!
Therefore, Fusu suppressed Lingnan's careful thinking of wanting to stand on his own feet in the plan.
Yes, it will definitely be changed.
Bing, still these Southern Army Corps, who are already familiar with Lingnan, are stationed.
However, according to the implementation of the iron-clad battalion and flowing soldiers, the defenders of Lingnan will be changed every three years, and they will not be given another chance.
The Southern Army was only temporarily stationed in Lingnan.
When the Central Plains is calmed down, the defense will be changed again.
At present, it is still necessary for these soldiers of the Southern Army to continue to be stationed in Lingnan.
Therefore, killing all these resisting defenders is not in line with the original strategy.
Knock knock!
The drums beat loudly, and the faces of the 30,000 light horsemen on the periphery showed excitement.
Rushing into the city to fight, along the way, it is a lot of experience.
Immediately, several lieutenants led their subordinate soldiers and horses to rush towards the city gate in charge.
With the addition of cavalry, the tide of battle immediately changed.
Even if the defenders are not afraid of death, they must retreat three feet in the face of the cavalry that is rushing towards them.
Whoever dares to stand in the way.
Surely you will die under the frontal impact of the Iron Horseman!
How could a flesh and blood body use its body to resist the sprinting war horse head-on, that is looking for death!
After the cavalry has charged, I'm afraid that the minced meat on the ground will have to be shoveled up with a shovel!
"Block them, block them for me!"
At the corner of the street, a marquis of the Southern Legion sat on horseback, raised his sword high and roared vigorously!
Behind him is the official office where Zhao Tuo and other top generals are located.
Once breached, the Southern Army is equivalent to the destruction of the regiment.
In the government office, in the vast courtyard and corridor, guards with swords already stand.
These guards are his last line of defense!
Zhao Tuo lay on the edge of the wall and watched the battle situation, his heart constantly sinking.
These blocked excuses are desperately fighting, and it is the most elite part of the Southern Army.
is also his henchman, and his combat power is the strongest!
Those commanders also knew exactly what would happen if they were defeated.
Therefore, the head is in front of the command to block the enemy.
Unfortunately, the gates were broken.
Without the high walls to stop and consume local troops, it is impossible to fight a protracted war.
You can only fight street battles.
But the opponent's armament is excellent, and it is not at the same level at all.
Some of the archers who were hiding in the wooden tower had just come to their heads when they were shot by arrows from 300 paces away.
And they also witnessed that in the crowded street fighting, their bronze sword was broken in two under a single touch.
The blow to morale is enormous when weapons are broken.
Although there are henchmen and generals who command desperate resistance, it is only a matter of time before the defense is breached.
Soon, under the charge of the cavalry, the blocking formation was out of order.
The descendants who desperately resisted at the corner of the street were defeated and retreated under the suppression!
This is still because under the command of a confidant officer, he still insisted on resisting in the defeat and retreat.
Elsewhere in the city, many of them had already laid down their weapons and surrendered because of the cavalry charge.
After all, everyone was wearing the Great Qin standard black armor.
Although the materials are different, they all belong to Daqin!
Therefore, after hearing the shouts of surrender and not killing, many people put down their weapons one after another.
Even, many people secretly speculate in their hearts, is it okay to go home?
How many of these Southern Corps drawn from the Central Plains are homesick?
The resistance gradually subsided as shouts and persuasions resounded throughout the city, and a large number of defenders surrendered.
People have a herd mentality, and when they see others surrendering, they naturally don't want to lose their lives in vain.
By noon, the battle in the city was almost over, and only the huge government offices were left under siege.
According to the intelligence, Zhao Tuo and the confidants and guards from all over the country who came to mourn gathered in the official office.
Shangfeng's order was to capture Zhao Tuo and his henchmen alive.
Because, Fusu wanted to see Zhao Tuo.
Take a look at the founder of the Nanyue Kingdom in later generations, Emperor Wu of Nanyue!
"Report! General Qiqi, the rebels in the city have been pacified, but Zhao Tuo and others still have a thousand elite soldiers trapped in the official office! ”
A sergeant climbed to the top of the mountain to report the situation.
Li Jing put down the binoculars and narrowed his eyes.
What was going on in the city, he had seen.
With the cooperation of cavalry and infantry, the defenders of the city have basically surrendered.
But in the official office besieged by the Quartet, there are still thousands of people holding out.
These people are the highest civil and military generals in Lingnan.
It is also the root of Lingnan's desire to be self-reliant!
Li Jing clearly knew that it was best to capture Zhao Tuo alive and bring him to Gongzi for punishment, so that the trip could be truly successful.
But
It is not advisable for the border troops brought from the north to stay in the jungles of the south for a long time, otherwise there will be problems in the humid and hot climate!
Fortunately, it was already winter, and if it was a hot summer, I am afraid that the soldiers would have been sick long ago.
Therefore, when attacking, they will choose to push all the way sideways and take the official road to avoid the jungle miasma.
But after a long time, there will inevitably be trouble.
Moreover, the army has to go back to participate in the Great War to pacify the Central Plains, and the time is very tight!
Li Jing's brows furrowed and he pondered for a moment.
opened his mouth and said: "Order, attack after a stick of incense!" Life or death, no matter what! ”
