Chapter 463: The Battle of Annihilation (6)

The gunfire was too loud, and Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, thought it was a failed product at that time, and almost made the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau return to the furnace to recast, but he didn't expect the gunfire to be loud, and in this battle, it had an unexpected effect. The war horses were extremely uncomfortable, and the frightened war horses scattered and fled, and the formation of the Jin cavalry collapsed all of a sudden, which was obviously something that everyone did not expect before the war.

It was only at this time that the Jin army would understand why the cavalry of the Han army was divided into left and right wings, leaving only the infantry to meet the enemy in the front, that is, they were afraid that the Han army's war horses would be frightened. Know, know what's the use, this battle is destined to be irreversible, the current Jin army can no longer recover the formation, and must make a decision in the shortest possible time whether to continue the battle or withdraw.

If you withdraw, you are destined to be punished, but if you hold on, you will definitely be able to reverse it, at this moment, the Jin army is in a dilemma and has entered an unprecedented embarrassing situation.

Take advantage of your illness to kill you.

Cheng Hai didn't give the Jin army too many chances, he waved the command flag and let the two thousand cavalry kill from the left and right flanks, blocking the route of the Jin cavalry.

Now it is the siege of three missing one, the front of the Jin army is the infantry of the Han army, the left and right flanks are cavalry, the only thing left is the retreat route, whether to fight or withdraw, at this moment there is no standard answer.

At this time, the city will not be discharged with reinforcements, and in desperation, he had no choice but to order the withdrawal of the army, after all, he was only punished by himself when he went back, but if he held on, the whole army would be annihilated.

It's not that easy to escape.

Obviously, Cheng Hai would not give the Jin cavalry a chance to retreat to the city, he ordered two thousand cavalry to catch up, and let the infantry continue to cover the siege ram advance, even if it can't break through the city gate today, it will also hit the enemy.

The ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, it is obvious that the carp thinks things are simple, they run in front, and the Han army is chasing after them, in this case, if you open the city gate, once the Han army follows into the city, the consequences are unimaginable.

The Jin army at the head of the city chose to give up the three thousand robes, and let the soldiers and horses of the Mushu Scorpion fend for themselves, either fighting with the Han army to the death, or being killed by the Han army, anyway, they are all dead, it depends on the value of that kind of death.

The arrows at the head of the city were shot down densely, and at this time, the Jin army outside the city fell off their horses one after another, and they were so angry that the carpenter scolded, but what was the use of scolding, they couldn't go back at all.

"Brothers, we can't go back, we fought with the Han army." The scorpion knew that it could not return to the city, so it could only fight to the end, but at this time, many soldiers of the Jin Kingdom had lost the determination to die, and began to scatter and flee instead of fighting to the end.

Bloody battle in the end, is the time when there is no possibility of survival, people burst out of the blood, but as long as there is a slight glimmer of life, the so-called bloody war is difficult to achieve in the end, which is why there will be the most classic way of playing 'three missing one', giving the other party hope of survival, so that the enemy can not carry it to the end.

For the Han army, the most important thing is to conquer Huining Mansion, not to annihilate the thousands of Jin troops who have lost their fighting spirit, Cheng Hai's tactics are very simple, to exterminate a large Jin army, and to ignore the escape of a small number of Jin troops. In this way, the Jin army was completely out of control, scattered and fled, and there was no fighting spirit to carry it to the death.

The failure to go out of the city to block the attack indicates that it is difficult for the Jin army to block the battering ram to hit the city gate, you must know that no matter how hard the city gate is, it is difficult to not fall under the repeated impact of the battering ram, to put it bluntly, the city gate is knocked open is an inevitable thing, it is only a matter of time or time.

Wan Yan Chengkang, who was guarding the east gate, suddenly grew bigger, and he commanded 40,000 soldiers and horses, which only opened the prelude to the war and lost nearly one-tenth, if he continued to fight like this, he might not last until the tenth day and collapse.

The main general, Yan Chengkang, must come up with a mature plan as soon as possible, otherwise, let alone holding on for ten days, it is likely to collapse on the first day. Watching the huge battering ram slowly approaching, in this case, Wan Yan Chengkang ordered to throw the wooden thunder stone under the city, hey to block the battering ram, of course, it is best to smash the battering ram.

The Rolling Wood Thunderstone is a magic weapon for the defending side to defeat the enemy, and it is basically a nightmare for the besieging side, the only problem is that the number is limited, and it is extremely inconvenient to use. This is why there will be a huge casualty in the early stage of the siege, basically a sea of people tactics forced attack, and as time goes by, the pressure on the defending side increases, and the reason for the final collapse is that the number of crossbow arrows gradually decreases, and then the casualties increase, and the attacker cannot resist the continuous and effective siege of the city.

When the Rolling Wood Thunder Stone fell from the sky, Zhang Hai ordered the battering ram to stop advancing, he knew that the first day of the siege was just to test the Jin army's strategy of defending the city, looking for the weak point of the Jin army's defense, and then change the siege strategy the next day, continue to attack with high intensity, to finally conquer Huining Mansion, instead of the tactics of crowds as soon as it came up.

The battering ram stopped attacking, but the ladder successfully approached the city wall, although the casualties in the process were huge, but after the ladder, the siege vehicle, and even the lookout car approached the city, a large number of Han troops failed and began to climb the city wall, which also indicated that the most brutal offensive and defensive battle kicked off, and the Jin army at the head of the city desperately threw rolling wood and thunder stones under the city, desperately shooting arrows, in a vain attempt to stop the Han army from attacking the city.

I have to say that the quality of the individual soldiers of the Jin army is still quite high, and they stubbornly defend the city to prevent the Han army from attacking the city.

When he saw that the Jin army was well defended, Zhang Hai, who was in charge of the main attack at the east gate, ordered to slow down the pace of the attack and no longer force the attack.

The Han army no longer attacked, but it was not a good thing for the Jin army, because only when the two sides were entangled together, the Han army's bow and arrow suppression on the lookout car would stop to avoid accidental injury. Now that the Han army is no longer blindly attacking the city, the Jin army defending the city has become a live target, and can only dodge the attack of the Han army in a very embarrassed way.

To tell the truth, the Jin army did make sufficient preparations to defend the city, but this preparation was self-centered, and it never thought about what the Han army was to attack the city. However, the fly in the ointment is that it is not clear what the means of attack of the Han army are, and they are still defending the city in the most traditional way, and they are not prepared at all for the super powerful siege equipment of the Han army.

The casualties were huge, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, after the failure of the first wave of siege, the Han army gave up the tactics of crowds, but relied on advanced siege equipment, to long-range, medium-range, short-range trinity to reduce the dimension of the Jin army, although this could not capture the city, could not pose a substantial threat to the Jin army, but suppressed the Jin army at the head of the city, causing great casualties to the Jin army.

Effectively weaken the vitality of the Jin army, this is the guiding ideology of the Han army, the 200,000 Jin army in the city cannot be monolithic, and it is even more impossible for everyone to be martyred for Wanyan Heng. After the casualties hit a certain level, the psychology of the Jin army will collapse, and it will no longer be monolithic, and at that time, once the Han army attacks the city, then the Jin army will completely collapse, and it will no longer be able to fight to the end.

The casualties are gradually increasing, on the surface, in this state, the Han army has no way to attack the city, the Jin army's strategy of defending the city is correct, but the casualties of the Jin army at the head of the city are gradually increasing, which is not a good phenomenon. If it is delayed at this rate, it will not take ten days for all the Jin troops at the head of the city to be annihilated, the Jin army will collapse, and the Huining Mansion will no longer be able to hold on.

In less than two hours of siege warfare, Wanyan Chengkang, who was responsible for guarding the east gate, lost 5,000 soldiers, that is to say, the 40,000 soldiers under the command of this guy lost nearly one-eighth, to put it bluntly, this is just the beginning, the first wave of the Han army's offensive is only, this casualty ratio is a bit large, at this time, Wanyan Chengkang regretted sending 3,000 cavalry out of the city.

There is no regret medicine in the world, and despite the huge casualties, the Jin army still firmly occupies the city, and on the surface, it is the Jin army that wins, because the Han army has no way to capture the city.

At the second hour, Yelu Mawu ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and the first wave of the offensive came to an end, but the time for the Jin army at the head of the city was not yet in time to celebrate, because the second wave of the attack followed, and it was more rapid than the first.

At this time, Wanyan Chengkang knew why the Han army was enough to sweep the world, it was not only relying on tactics, but also not relying on advanced equipment and weapons, the most important thing is that the strength of the Han army was not inferior to the Jin army at all, and the tactics were more advanced, and the offensive level was more distinct.

The second wave of the offensive was obviously much more intense than the first wave, but the Han army's attack was not a crowd tactic, but a repeated attack by powerful infantry under the cover of siege equipment, and the intensity of the attack was gradually increasing.

Under the strong offensive situation, the defense of the Jin army's city head could no longer be leaky, and in the end, there was a fatal loophole, and this loophole was still the city gate that Yan Chengkang was most worried about, because when the defense of the city head was suppressed, the Han army's battering ram took the opportunity to attack the city gate and began to hit repeatedly.

Once the city gate is conquered, the consequences are unimaginable, at this time, Wanyan Chengkang is a little flustered, and he can no longer take care of the other defenses of the city, but let the soldiers defend the city gate at any cost to prevent the city gate from being damaged by the battering ram.

The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

A large number of rolling wood thunder stones did restrain the attack of the battering ram, and even smashed the battering ram, but there was a fatal hole in the defense of the city, and finally a Han army killed the city, which was a fatal blow to the psychology of the Jin army. To know what it means for the enemy to kill at the doorstep, that is, there is no way back, and the whole line will collapse if you push it back.

Defend to the death, defend to the death, defend at any cost, Wanyan Chengkang At this time, he couldn't take care of the previous defense system, and began to organize soldiers to counterattack, to take the Han army from the city.

The battle for the head of the city was intertwined for a long time, and finally ended with the retreat of the Han army and the holding of the head of the city by the Jin army. In this battle, the first army under the command of Yelu Mawu suffered more than 2,000 casualties, while the total number of casualties of the Jin army was close to 7,000, that is, more than one-sixth of the casualties.

The west of the city, the south of the city, and the north of the city are all the same, and they all successfully held the head of the city and repelled the attack of the Han army, but the total casualties of the Jin army exceeded 20,000, and according to this rhythm, they could not hold on for ten days at all.

Ten days, it has become a spell, shrouded in the head of every Jin army, everyone dare not think that once the Han army slaughtered the city after ten days, how tragic it will be, the question is can it hold on for ten days?

Eleven days, once Eleven days, or even any day after that, Huining Mansion will be conquered, then Huining Mansion will become a hell on earth, with rivers of blood and corpses all over the field, which is obviously a very terrible result, and it is also a result that everyone is unwilling to face.

The strength is very different, the Jin army no longer has the belief of winning, almost everyone knows that no matter how the Jin army plays and deploys, it will not be able to hold on for ten days, and the question now is, Huining Mansion will be conquered by the Han army that day, and when the day comes, how should it fight to the end, are you really willing to die?

Ants are still stealing life, and the situation is very human.

On the first day of the bloody battle, he had already crushed Wan Yan Chengqi's fragile heart, this guy knew that if he continued to fight like this, he wouldn't be able to hold on for ten days at all, but it was more appropriate to stick to that one?

Wanyan Chengqi, who couldn't make up his mind for a while, decided to ask Mr. Song for advice to see what to do next, and to see that it was more appropriate to open the city gate on that day.

After thinking for a long time, Mr. Song said: "The next stop, the Han army will definitely be able to enter the city, the first day of the attack is just a tentative attack, and the next time it will be real." The so-called ten days to take Huining Mansion is just a pretense, judging from today's situation, the Han army has the strength to take Huining Mansion in one day. Therefore, I think that in the next battle, the Han army will definitely take Huining Mansion, and it will definitely not be consumed again. ”

"The next stop, that is tomorrow, so shouldn't we prepare tonight and get rid of Yan Heng as soon as possible."

As soon as he heard that the Han army would take Huining Mansion in the next battle, he panicked all of a sudden, he was ready to surrender a long time ago, one day earlier, one day later, in fact, there was no difference at all.

"No, it won't be tomorrow, if nothing else, the Han army should not attack the city tomorrow, but continue to take propaganda leaflets and take a psychological offensive, when the psychology of the Jin army gradually collapses, they will forcibly take Huining Mansion with a thunderous momentum. Therefore, we just need to be prepared, regardless of the day when the Han army attacked the city. ”

Psychological warfare, the Han army is good at psychological warfare, and the generals within the Jin State no longer insist on coexisting and dying with Huining Mansion, everyone began to think about how to buy a tombstone for themselves, and after the death of the province, there is no place to go. The psychological defense line of the Jin army was torn apart step by step, and at this time, Wan Yanheng, the emperor of the Jin State, was the first to collapse, this guy's emotions were completely out of control, and he gradually lost control of the capital.
