Chapter 931: What Can I Do, I'm Desperate Too
With the fall of the jack gate, the ambush soldiers on the wall of the urn city were exhausted, and the Sima soldiers under the city were chilled.
But at this moment they have all become lambs to the slaughter, fish on the chopping board, there is no resistance to anything, looking at the black arrows in the city, they are called despair.
Originally, the city gate was breached, and the situation was very good, but who would have thought that the situation would take a sharp turn for the worse in an instant, and nearly 1,000 people were trapped in Jiexiu City.
Although such a loss is not unbearable, the loss of thousands of people in this battle is simply a fatal blow to Sima Jun's morale.
All the generals focused their eyes on Chen Qian, hoping that he would find a way to come out at this critical time to rescue the trapped army.
Chen Qian was speechless for a moment, what can I do, I'm also desperate
If you want to complain, you can only complain that Sima Jun's previous intelligence work was not careful, and he did not report the specific situation of Jiexiu City in a timely manner, so that until now, he found that there was an urn city built in Jiexiu City, and a jack gate was installed.
Of course, this also can't be blamed on Sima Jun's spy agency, their infiltration into the state is relatively late, but it has only been paid attention to in recent years, and the army has made considerable efforts to crack down on spies.
The limited forces can only do limited things, and the spy personnel in Bingzhou are already working very hard, they can only concentrate their limited forces on the big cities of Jinyang, as for the small county towns like Jiexiu, which are not important, they really don't care, and the blind spots of intelligence are naturally inevitable.
Chen Qian had no other way, because the jack gate was installed in the middle of the city gate, and the siege vehicle was huge, so it couldn't drive into the city gate at all, so naturally it couldn't attack the jack gate.
Even if you can attack the jack gate, with the strength of the battering ram, it is difficult to break the jack gate covered with thick iron sheets, after all, although the jack gate is called the jack gate, but its weight is far more than only a thousand catties, its thickness and firmness, but not an ordinary city gate can be compared with it, Sima Jun who was locked in the urn city, there is almost no chance of escape.
Chen Qian could only order Sima Jun to strengthen the offensive, and now there was only one way to break through the city wall.
But the city wall of Jiexiu, how can it be broken to break it, the Sima army has been attacking almost very hard for a day, and has not made the slightest progress, in this urgency, it is almost impossible to try to use a strong attack to take Jiexiu City.
Seeing that Sima Jun's offensive had suddenly intensified, intending to rescue Sima Jun who was trapped in the urn city, he sneered slightly, he was already a turtle in the urn, how could he let them escape.
"Kill" Yanghu gave an order, the city and the state army fired thousands of arrows, the trapped Sima army was attacked on all sides at the same time, they could not defend no matter what, even if they defended back to back, but it was difficult to escape the bad luck of death, and finally only lasted for a moment of time, so the trapped Sima army was all shot, and no one survived.
Those who can use this kind of long-range means to attack and kill, of course Yanghu will not take the risk of sending melee infantry down, Sima Jun is still fighting, who knows if they will fight desperately when they are facing a desperate situation, in case these people have the idea of killing one to make one, killing two to earn one, then wouldn't it be a vain loss of soldiers from the state army
With so many Sima soldiers, even if they surrender, there is a great risk, and it is a big problem to imprison them first, at least some of them must be sent to act as guards, which will undoubtedly weaken the strength of the defending city. Not to mention that these people consume food in vain, it is still an extremely unstable factor, who knows if they will take the opportunity to make trouble, and it is probably harmful to surrender them at this time.
Therefore, Yanghu had no idea of recruiting these people at all, and ordered all the random arrows to be killed, leaving no one behind, anyway, the arrows shot out could be recovered in the future, and there was not much waste.
Sima Jun could not resist this one-sided massacre, and many people had long lost their fighting spirit and wanted to surrender and shouted loudly, but unfortunately the Bingzhou army in the city turned a deaf ear and ignored it, just kept firing arrows, shooting Sima Bing to the ground one after another.
The battlefield is always cold-blooded and ruthless, and these Sima soldiers were so excited that they couldn't help themselves when they broke through the city gate, and they all wanted to rush into the city immediately to snatch the first merit of the siege.
But after really stepping into Jiexiu City, they found that there was no merit here, no achievements, and no more than the long-awaited Soaring Soar to the top, some were just death traps, this was a Shura field that slaughtered lives, and any Sima Bing who set foot here had no chance of surviving.
The urn city soon fell to peace, except for the corpses all over the ground, there was no one standing, and the red blood stained the land in the urn city red, and there was a deathly silence.
Although there was no movement in the city, the sound of the bow and arrow breaking through the air and the screams of dying that came from inside seemed to have told Sima Shi that everything was happening inside, and more than a thousand lives were all gone in an instant, and the cruelty of this battle was evident.
"Mingjin withdraw the army, there is no point in fighting any longer." Sima Shi sighed lightly, a deep sense of frustration that made his face a little pale.
The Sima army trapped in the city was doomed to the end of the entire army, although Chen Qian was very reluctant to accept such a result, but the facts were in front of him, and it was futile to attack again, but more and more people were lost.
So when Sima Shi suggested withdrawing, Chen Qian did not insist, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
When the gong sounded, all the Sima soldiers on the front line couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, if they didn't hear the sound of gold, they wouldn't dare to retreat easily, otherwise those law enforcement teams supervising the war were not vegetarians, and whoever dared to cower would not be able to keep their heads.
At this time, as soon as the gong sounded, the soldiers of Sima Jun were like being amnestied, like the tide of the ebb tide, and in a moment, they retreated cleanly, and none of the living people were gone, leaving only a place of wolf.
