Chapter 771: Siege

The vicinity of Tinglan County is a rare dry land on this side of Pingyue Road, and the advantages of the water division cannot be brought into play, and it is not what they are good at letting the water division soldiers attack a fortified city with tens of thousands of troops on land, under Shen Leng's almost rigorous training, even if he is not in the water division Wang Gendong will continue to train according to his requirements, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the sea patrol division is not inferior to the tigers and wolves of the four frontiers, but the water division is the water division, let them fight on land is nothing, let them attack the city, this is something they do not often practice.

While building siege equipment, Shen Leng still didn't stop to think about how to take this city with the least loss?

He drew a sketch of the stone throwing car, but he couldn't make it at all, first he only drew the outline, too many parts and components could not be reflected in the sketch, and Shen Leng couldn't remember it, he was not a god, he had a specialization in the art industry, and it was pointless to force himself to do what he couldn't do.

The Daning soldiers read out aloud the abandonment order issued by Shen Leng outside Tinglan County every day, but three days have passed, and the people in Tinglan County seem to be unmoved, and the people's hearts are almost the same.

Sitting on the high slope outside Tinglan County, Shen Leng kept looking at the small scale of the fortified city, but his thinking had already reached a deadlock, and there was no direction to break through.

If he does not hesitate to attack with the dead, for the Daning soldiers, it is not hopeless to break through the city with more than 40,000 people with 11,000 troops, it is not a fantasy, but the losses are bound to be heavy, maybe at least thousands of soldiers and brothers will die here, and the terrible thing is to lose thousands of people, what if it can't be broken?

Chen Ran came from a distance, walked to Shen Leng's side and squatted down and said: "The scout has been nearly a hundred miles outward, and there is no sign that the Yue people have reinforcements coming, and it is estimated that no one dares to come, there is really no better way, today and tomorrow are sure that the enemy army will not have foreign aid, I will lead people to attack a wave to try." ”

"Wait."

Shen Leng said: "I'll think about it again." ”

Chen Ran said: "If you think about it again, there should be no good way, I climbed up yesterday and saw it, they separated the city wall with sandbags, about ten zhang separated by a wall, that is to say, if we attack it, we will also be besieged within ten zhang, no matter where it is killed, it is within ten zhang, this method has been figured out, seven or eight out of ten city gates have been blocked by them, and the battering ram cannot be opened, so it can only be the most stupid way." ”

"The casualties are too great."

Shen Leng still shook his head: "Let's think again." ”

"Tinglan County is now the strongest city defended by the rebels, take it as soon as possible, the rebels in other places will be terrified, and the longer it drags on, the stronger the fighting spirit of the rebels."

Chen Ran said: "Let me go, I have to try." ”

Shen Leng patted Chen Ran on the shoulder: "Two days, wait for two more days, if I can't think of any good way in two days, I will personally lead the team to attack, you continue to wait peacefully, and ensure that the enemy enters a hundred miles within a hundred miles, you will find that if the enemy has reinforcements, this battle is even more difficult to fight, and when we attack, even if a group of rabble kills from behind, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Chen Ran said: "Don't worry, the scouts are all arranged." ”

"During the siege, the defenders inflicted the greatest damage on us were bows and arrows."

Shen Leng sat there and looked at the Tinglan County in the distance and said to himself: "How to minimize the casualties brought to us by the bow and arrows Close to the city wall, this is what we should think about now, but there is no one outside the city, team."

They were all covered by the enemy's feathered arrows. ”

Chen Ran: "What about the shield array?" ”

"The casualties of the shield array will not be small, and the soldiers can make the shield array protect the best in dense formation, but in this way, the ballista on the city wall can aim and fight, and the people are next to each other with shields, and they can only walk blindfolded when they can't see the road ahead, and the moving speed is too slow, I have seen that there are a lot of heavy crossbows on the city wall, and with the movement speed of the shield array, from entering the range of the Yue people's heavy crossbows to the distance that can be attacked, the shield array cannot hold on, and will be beaten by the heavy crossbows."

After hearing this, Chen Ran sighed: "Damn, it would be good if I knew how to spell, so that their arrows can't shoot us." ”

Shen sneered: "Wouldn't it be good to open the city directly with a spell, or fly in." ”

Chen Ran gestured and said, "I, Chen Daxian, can fly to the sky." ”

Shen Leng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of something: "Flying away?" ”

Chen Ran said: "I'll just say it casually, are you serious?" How can anyone fly to the sky......"

Shen Leng laughed and patted Chen Ran the shoulder: "Flying is that no one can fly to the sky, but it may not be difficult to escape." ”

Chen Ran was stunned: "What do you mean?" Who can still pass through the ground? Hey...... You mean, let's dig tunnels into the city? But that's too difficult, the space outside is open, if we dig the tunnel, the enemy can see it clearly on the city wall, even if it starts digging from outside the range of the Yueren's city defense weapons, the distance must be at least more than a mile away, dig a tunnel more than a mile long, to ensure that it does not collapse There must be enough depth, and after digging in, the Yue people have already been waiting there, and we will be beaten by the enemy as soon as we dig out. ”

Shen sneered: "Digging is digging, not digging tunnels." ”

Chen Ran didn't move.

Shen Leng got up and walked down the high slope: "Gather all the auxiliaries and dig a trench!" ”

Chen Ran was still confused: "Dig a trench? ”

In the afternoon, a large number of soldiers and auxiliaries began to dig trenches, digging from more than a dozen places at the same time, calculating the route and distance, digging forward in a zigzag shape, the trench was about one person deep and about two people's shoulder width wide, and outside the firing range, they dug in sections and then connected, and when they reached the firing range, they continued to dig forward in the trench.

On the wall of Tinglan County, Luan Qianqi, the general of the Yue people, looked at Ning Jun outside with an incredulous expression: "What are they going to do?" ”

Luan Qianqi is the leader of this rebel army of more than 40,000 people, and is also the brother of Luan Baishi, the general of the Yue people in Tuntian, Subei County, the reason why the two people surrendered to Daning in the first batch, is not because they are unable to fight again, but the South Vietnamese National Division at that time put forward a new idea, at that time, more than 70% of the territory of the Yue country has been occupied by the Daning soldiers, and the remaining Vietnamese army is afraid that it will be the end of the whole army. In the future, if there is a chance, we will fight hard to restore South Vietnam.

This plan was approved by some people and rejected by others, who called him a traitor and a coward, while supporters thought it was the most rational approach.

In the end, the brothers Luan Qianqi and Luan Baishi accepted the idea of the national teacher, led the army to surrender to the Daning soldiers, and as a vanguard, assisted the Ning army to take many cities, most of which were persuaded by the two brothers Luan Qianqi and Luan Baishi to surrender, and this persuasion was actually accepted by the idea of the national teacher.

Before being besieged in Tinglan County, Luan Qianqi even thought that the restoration of South Vietnam was in sight, but the sudden change caught the Vietnamese troops in various places off guard, and that one suddenly appeared

The Daning soldiers swept all over the place, and the most incomprehensible thing for him was that the Vietnamese army, which had been trained in the way of the Ning army in the past few years, and was now equipped according to the weapon configuration of the Ning army, was still vulnerable, which made Luan Qianqi angry and made him feel powerless.

He has been training his subordinates with the training methods of the Ning army, and with a lot of financial and material support, he has been able to continue to secretly build weapons and armor, when the Yue people and the Ning people stand under the same conditions, they still can't beat, and even the Ning people have repeatedly won more with less, this feeling is simply unacceptable for Luan Qianqi.

Adjutant General Song Duancheng looked at Ning Jun who was digging a ditch outside the city, and then looked at General Luan Qianqi: "Are they trying to dig a ditch to divert water?" But the nearest river is also dozens of miles away, how can they bring water over, and besides, how much water can be brought in by these winding trenches......

"That's not right."

Luan Qianqi suddenly reacted: "They dig a ditch to avoid arrows. ”

After reacting, he immediately ordered: "All heavy crossbows, aim at Ning Ren!" ”

The heavy crossbows on the city wall began to adjust their angles, and one by one the heavy crossbows with the thickness of their calves roared out, but after such a long distance, Ning Jun was in the trench again, and the heavy crossbows that were shot diagonally from top to bottom were not easy to accurately hit into the trench? Heavy crossbows poked into the ground one by one, and the Ning army in the trenches was almost unaffected, and the dozen or so trenches dug at the same time were still moving forward.

Half an hour later, the trench entered the range of the bow and arrow, and the Yue people began to frantically send the feather arrows down, and the Ning army in the trench had nothing to worry about, the trench was only as wide as the shoulders of two people, and the probability of the feather arrows falling in was very low, and the shield was placed on the top of the trench, and only a few people digging the trench in front were exposed, and the casualties were minimal.

"General!"

Song Duancheng's face became whiter and whiter: "This can't be done, they will soon be able to dig under the city wall." ”

"They don't have enough troops, and even if they dig under the walls, they won't be able to attack it so easily."

Luan Qianqi commanded loudly: "Send more archers!" ”

It soon got dark, and the trench of the Ning army was finally dug not far under the city wall, and the Yue people on the city wall were still constantly dropping arrows, but the Daning soldiers squatting in the trench had shields on their heads, and the feather arrows crackled on the shields, and there was no lethality at all.

The torches on the city wall were bright, and the shouting of the Yue people did not stop, and the more this happened, the more they seemed to panic.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Song Duancheng muttered to himself: "The city walls are all separated, and they can't capture all the city walls quickly when they come up, and their ladders are not easy to get up, and the ground is full of potholes dug by themselves......"

The lights on the side of the Ning army camp were also bright, Shen Leng put on the iron helmet, and hung the black line knife on his back: "Be sure to take down Tinglan County tonight, Wang Kuohai, Chen Ran, you two take your relatives to the barracks and follow me first!" ”

"Whew!"

The soldiers let out a low roar, and the cuirass was knocked again and again.

"Attack!"

With Shen Leng's order, the soldiers quickly entered the trench, the cat rushed forward, and soon, all the trenches were full of soldiers, and the ladder was carried over their heads, and the speed was extremely fast.

"It's coming!"

Luan Qianqi on the city wall shouted in a hoarse voice: "Prepare to fight!" ”
