Chapter 488: General

It's the sixth day.

The size of the Bohai army gathered outside the Zhendong Pass has exceeded 100,000, but this is not an accident for the Ning army on the city wall, before taking the city pass, Meng Changan expected that the Bohai people would fight back wildly, and every Ning army soldier was also ready to meet the counterattack of the Bohai people.

The soldiers at the border pass have never only guarded the land under their feet, even if they are conscientious, the border army, guarding the land, and opening up the territory.

Even if it is just a step out of the country, it is the glory of the soldiers.

The thieves outside are menacing, it seems that the battle is very large, and it is indeed very difficult and ferocious, but the Ning army has not had a trace of decline from beginning to end, although their forces are scattered between the two city passes, but retreat has never been the character of the Ning people.

Since yesterday evening, the Bohai people have brought a large number of stone-throwing carts, and the strict order of the King of Bohai is that the city must be taken back before the New Year.

Meng Changan stood on the city wall and looked carefully with clairvoyance, the stone-throwing cart on the opposite side was simple, although there were many of them, but the range was not far, under normal circumstances, the farthest stone-throwing vehicle on the flat ground was only five hundred steps, and the city pass was towering and the city wall was solid, the stone was smashed on the city wall, and it might not be able to collapse the city wall if it was smashed for a month, and the Bohai people wanted to throw the stone up, the distance had to be pulled into the distance of four hundred steps or even more than three hundred steps.

At a long distance, although the number of stone-throwing carts on the city wall is less, it still has some advantages, and if the Bohai people pull the stone-throwing carts into a distance of more than 300 steps, the bed crossbow on the city wall can also make them cry for their fathers and mothers.

"Bring up as much straw as possible, it's still the old way, splash water with straw, increase the height of the city wall, make some straw curtains to hang outside the city wall, send people to spread a few layers on the roof, freeze it with water, the thicker the better."

Meng Changan was not worried about the other party's use of fire attacks, no matter how dense the rockets were, they would not burn at all if they were stuck in the frozen solid.

The Bohai people under the city were busy moving the stone-throwing carts to arrange the formation, and the Ning army on the city wall spread more straw on the top of the city tower, and even hung it on the outer wall, laying a layer, pouring a few buckets of water, and it was frozen stiff in less than a stick of incense.

A place like Baishanguan is not suitable for long-term warfare, and the Bohai people have gathered 100,000 soldiers, how long can they support it with their national strength? It's cold here, and it's even colder in the Bohai country, and their grain transport team wants to bring up enough food for 100,000 people, and the consumption along the way is almost enough to feed 100,000 people.

"Eat meat buns at noon."

Meng Changan had instructed in the morning that the people who didn't go to the city to fight would all help from the Huotou Army, and the amount of five large meat buns per person was the size of two fists.

"Whew!"

The soldiers cheered, and the sound made the Bohai people under the city extremely depressed.

Obviously they are the main attacker, obviously they seem to have more advantages, obviously they should have completely suppressed the Ning people, but the Ning people, even their mood doesn't seem to be affected.

However, Meng Changan was far less confident than he seemed, and he was not worried about the Bohai people outside, but about the eastern frontier.

If Pei Tingshan still doesn't plan to put aside his personal enmity for the time being, the supplies may not come up so quickly, not to mention whether the reinforcements will come or not, once the supply of grain and grass slows down, this battle will not be able to be fought.

In the morning, Meng Changan went to the man's side and asked, yesterday did not send vegetables and meat, this meat bun is completely for the peace of the army's heart, if the soldiers know that yesterday's supplies have not arrived, the army's heart must be unstable, if it is less than three days, the army's heart is swaying, if it is not seven days, the army's heart is weak...... If it is less than ten days, it can still be supported by the surplus grain of Baishan Pass, but it is only a matter of a few mouthfuls of dry food for each person.

Yang Qibao looked at the cheering soldiers around him and lowered his voice

said to Meng Changan: "Do you want to take someone to the city to have a look?" ”

Loucheng is only more than 100 miles away from Baishan Pass, and you can go back and forth in three days.

"It looks like the small granary outside the city is empty."

Meng Changan was very panicked.

The big granary is in Loucheng, and the small granary is in Wuwei Town in Baishan Pass, because Baishanguan is limited, so the small granary is built in Baishan Pass, which is less than ten miles away from Guancheng, and the grain in Baishan Pass is used for emergency purposes, and what is needed in ordinary times is transferred from the small granary of Wuwei Town.

Every half a month, the grain transport team on the side of Loucheng will transport a large number of grain and grass materials to Wuwei Town to replenish, yesterday the small granary did not send anything, which means that it has been at least half a month that Loucheng has not sent things to the small granary.

The official in charge of the small granary did not tell Meng Changan that this was obviously wrong.

"What about the master of the little granary?"

Meng Changan asked.

"Tingwei Mansion Qianban Fang Baijing took someone to get it, and he should be back soon."

As he was talking, Qianban Fang Baijing quickly came up from the city and pulled Meng Changan to the side: "There was an accident the day before yesterday, the warehouse of the small granary collapsed, and the chief bookkeeper Liu Xiong did not dare to report, and organized a lot of people to rescue the food and materials, but it was freezing and snowing, which was so easy, I arrested and tortured people, and the city did send food over, it was an accident." ”

"Send someone to the building."

Meng Changan looked at Yang Qibao: "Forget it, you take people to go, please come over to the big granary in Loucheng as soon as possible, you take five hundred people, don't rest, rush back overnight." ”

"Yes."

Fang Baijing said: "I have already arranged for my subordinates to take dozens of court captains to do it, you go, there is no weight from our court captain's mansion, and the officials of the big granary may not be afraid of you wearing armor, but they must be afraid of our court captain's mansion." ”

Meng Changan smiled rarely: "Thank you." ”

"You can't keep me guilty, thank you?"

Fang Baijing looked at the city, and the rows of stone-throwing trucks over there were already pushing and moving forward neatly, and one of them also threw stones out, as if he was measuring the distance.

"Can you carry it?"

"If there are no reinforcements, I will be able to bear it before I die in battle."

Meng Changan drew his knife and pointed out: "Stone-throwing car!" ”

Several stone-throwing carts on the city wall began to throw out the boulders, two or three pieces were smashed into the air, and a few pieces were smashed on the stone-throwing carts of the Bohai people, and they were immediately smashed to pieces.

A Bohai soldier fell to the ground with a wail, most of his body was crushed by the boulder, and it is conceivable that the small part that was exposed seemed intact, and the fingers that were pressed under it must have rotted to the point of decay.

Streams of blood flowed out from under the stones, and the wail was so terrible that it made people's scalps tingle for a while.

"Push forward!"

Yuan Zaishi drew a knife in his hand, hacked the soldier to death with a knife, and roared with red eyes: "Push forward as soon as possible, their stone-throwing cart has no time to adjust the distance, push this section safely, give Lao Tzu a fucking effort, push!" ”

The Bohai people gritted their teeth and pushed the stone-throwing cart forward, and one by one the boulders fell, and one by one their lives were smashed into flesh and taken away.

It has snowed again for the past two days, and the rock-throwing truck is so heavy that it is extremely difficult to push.

At this short distance, the corpses of the slain Bohai people were covered with a layer.

"Three hundred steps."

The lookout shouted.

Meng Changan commanded: "Ballista!" ”

The bed crossbow began to vent its murderous aura, and one by one the thick heavy crossbows flew straight out, which was naturally not as direct as the boulder for the destruction of the stone throwing cart, but for the Bohai people who pushed the cart, this was a real nightmare.

Finally, after paying an extremely heavy price, the Bohai people

The stone-throwing cart knocked down the range distance, and they must have calculated this distance in advance, which happened to be the place where the minimum projectile distance of the Ning army's stone-throwing vehicle could not reach, and the stones thrown by the Ning army were all behind them.

While the ballista is still terrifying, the rate at which it destroys the catapult is rapidly reduced.

"Smash me!"

Yuan Jae-seok roared.

The boulder flew into the air and slammed into the walls.

With a bang, the boulder smashed on the battlements, directly smashing the battlements, and the soldiers of the Ning Army, who had no time to avoid it, were stoned to death.

A thick layer of straw was laid on the tower, and the boulder smashed on it and was partially unloaded, but the damage to the tower was not so heavy.

"Kill it."

Yuan Zaishi raised his knife and pointed to Zhendongguan, what was unexpected was that it was not the Bohai Navy people who rushed up, but the ragged people of the Bohai Kingdom, the Bohai Navy drove tens of thousands of people to rush forward, and each of those people carried a burden on their shoulders, loaded with civil engineering and other things.

"Ahh

A young Bohai man shouted hoarsely, and ran forward with his eyes closed, as if he didn't look, Ning Jun's feather arrows wouldn't hit him.

"General, what should I do?"

Yang Qibao looked at Meng Changan: "They are all ordinary people. ”

"There are no people who go to war."

Meng Changan let out a long breath: "You can fight as much as you want." ”

Braving the bombardment of the Bohai people's stone-throwing carts, the soldiers of the Ning army defending the city poured their feather arrows out, and a large number of Bohai people were shot over, and some people were so frightened that they ran back, but they were shot dead by the Bohai Navy's supervising team, both front and back, and they would implicate their families if they ran back, and these people had no choice.

They frantically rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and ran away carrying the earth, and died one after another.

I don't know how many civilians the Bohai Navy has captured, and they have joined in endlessly, although the defense of the Ning army has been extremely fierce, and the feather arrows are dense enough, even if they are suppressed by the stone-throwing vehicles, they still show strong combat power, but the speed at which the earth and wood of the city wall are piled up has not decreased.

Those Bohai people who were shot to death became part of the mat.

The stone-throwing carts of the Bohai people did not want to destroy the city pass at all, but only to suppress the sharp arrow array of the Ning army.

For a whole day and night, the corpses and civil engineering under the city wall were mixed together, and they were actually piled up on a ramp less than one meter high from the city wall.

In the early morning of the next day, countless Bohai troops began to rush forward frantically, these poorly equipped soldiers shouted loudly, and even one knife was not enough for each person, some wielded wooden sticks, some brandished woodcutters.

The fight went straight into the white heat.

Meng Changan hacked to death the two Bohai Navy soldiers in front of him with a single sword, and three or five more came up from behind, these red-eyed guys seemed to have been hypnotized by the devil, and they were not afraid of life and death at all.

"The reserves are all up."

Yang Qibao, who was covered in blood, killed Meng Changan's side: "General, give the order to withdraw to Baishan Pass." ”

Meng Changan cut off the enemy's head with a knife, and looked at the Bohai people who were surging up like a tide, and felt powerless for the first time.

There is a huge disparity in troops.

Call!

Suddenly, a layer of feather arrows flew from behind the city pass, and the feather arrows were thrown across the city pass, and fell densely on the ramp, and the Bohai people were immediately overturned.

A large number of soldiers dressed in black uniforms poured up on the city walls, and unlike ordinary soldiers, each of them had a long sword emblem on their chests.

Weapons!

Pei Tingshan, the general of Eastern Xinjiang, ascended the city pass, the old man with a white beard stared at him, drew his knife and pointed down in his hand: "Press back." ”

The swords roared out.

Overwhelming. ()
