Chapter 347: All-out war
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Seeing the large number of wounded soldiers, Liu Xiu couldn't manage so much, and personally participated in the rescue, and he was able to save one more person.
He was busy from noon to evening, and it was finally over, at this time, Liu Xiu's hands were stained red with blood, and when he washed his hands, a plate of clear water turned into a plate of blood in a blink of an eye.
It was only at this time that Liu Xiu was free to gather all the generals under his command to learn about his own casualties.
Originally, there were 3,000 soldiers, but after the first battle, only a little more than 1,000 remained, of which more than 700 were cavalry, and the other 300 or so were infantry. Of the remaining 1,000 people, more than 300 were wounded and incapacitated.
In other words, at present, there are only about 700 combatable soldiers under Liu Xiu's command, and even if Yin Zun's men are added, they can barely get together a thousand people.
With only such a small number of troops, it is impossible to solve the crisis of Kunyang and defeat the reckless army of more than 100,000 people.
Liu Xiu was helpless, and while he was busy recruiting troops and horses in Dingling, he sent people to Yuncheng to continue recruiting troops.
Kunyang.
Wang Yi killed the messenger sent by Wang Feng and refused the surrender of Wang Feng's department, and then, he ordered the three armies to attack the city. Wang Yi refused to surrender, and the most direct consequence was to block Wang Feng's retreat.
In the face of the reckless army that was attacking on a large scale, no matter whether Wang Feng was timid or not, whether he was willing to fight or not, they had no other choice but to fight to the death.
Surrender is death, death in battle is death, horizontal and vertical death, it is better to pull a few more pads before dying.
Under such a mentality, Wang Fengyi, who was obviously weak and incompetent, was frightened before the battle, and was eager to surrender to Wang Yi, showed extraordinary combat effectiveness in the battle to defend the city.
From Wang Feng, the chief general of the army, to ordinary soldiers, they all fought desperately, risking their lives to fight against the reckless army.
I have to say that Kunyang's city defense is indeed strong, and the city defense is also very well prepared.
On the city wall, there is a stone throwing machine, and there is also a stone throwing machine inside the city wall, when the Mang army attacks with all its might, the stone throwing machine at the head of Kunyang City causes great damage to the Mang army.
When the large siege weapons of the Mang army finally advanced to the front of the city wall, the stone throwers in the city began to attack again. These stone throwers don't throw stones, but barrels of oil.
The oil barrel smashed on the siege weapon, and immediately shattered, and the fire oil flowed out and poured the siege weapon on the body, at this time, the defenders shot rockets again, and a huge siege weapon instantly turned into a fire.
With the large siege weapons being destroyed one after another, the Mang army only relied on manpower to storm Kunyang, which was too difficult. Even if there are more than 100,000 troops, looking at the ten-meter-high city wall, they are at a loss.
This offensive and defensive battle began in the morning and lasted until night, and when it was dark, the reckless army besieging the city had no choice but to retreat. As the Mang army withdrew to the camp, and then looked at the outside of Kunyang City, the corpses all over the ground, stacked on top of each other, had been paved for several layers. Wang Yi thought that his army with so many troops would be able to level Kunyang as soon as he walked, but he didn't expect that the small city of Kunyang would be so difficult to fight, and he fought hard all day, and he had not been able to tear apart Kunyang's city defense, but also lost several soldiers
Thousands of people.
For today's battle, Wang Yi was extremely dissatisfied, and in the tent of the Chinese army, he was furious, and the generals under his command scolded him with blood. Even the Big Mac, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, became mute at this time, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Let the Big Mac fight the enemy face to face, he is really not afraid of anyone, but siege warfare is different, you have to climb along the ladder to the top of the city.
With his weight, not to mention that one ladder can't support him, even if two ladders are combined, it still can't support him. The only way he could climb the walls was with the help of large siege weapons such as building carts.
But in today's battle, the building car could not get close to the front of the Kunyang city wall at all. The distance is far away, there is a stone-throwing machine on the head of the city to smash it, and the distance is close, there is a fire attack of the stone-throwing machine in the city.
After only one day's battle, the Mang army lost no less than twenty building cars, and suffered heavy losses, and the giant was standing outside the city, and his ability could not be displayed, of course, the beasts he could drive were even more useless.
Wang Yi looked around at the generals who drooped their heads and didn't dare to raise their heads, and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow is the deadline, no matter what, we must capture Kunyang tomorrow!" ”
Early the next morning, the offensive of the Mang army began again. Today's offensive is more fierce than yesterday's, but the number of Kunyang defenders has also become more numerous today.
The people in Kunyang City spontaneously climbed the city wall, or followed the defenders to defend the city together to resist the attacking reckless army, or helped the defenders to transport rolling wood, stones, fire oil, arrows and other materials to the city.
With the strong assistance of the people of Kunyang, the defenders' counterattack became stronger. As a result, after the fierce battle of this day, the Mang army still failed to capture Kunyang, and finally returned in vain and withdrew to the camp. If on the first day of the battle, the soldiers of the Mang army were still relatively casual and did not exert their full strength, then in the battle on the second day, the Mang army did use all their strength, but they still failed to tear through the city defense of Kunyang, which made the king
Yi Du was taken aback, feeling that he seemed to have underestimated the combat power of Wang Fengyi.
is still the same sentence, the performance of the Green Forest Army on the battlefield is completely two extremes. Either it is a rabble of soft-footed shrimp, which will be crushed with one blow, or it is fierce and ferocious, even in a battle to the death, it is eager to bite off a piece of meat from the other party.
On the third and fourth days of the Battle of Kunyang, the offensive of the Mang army began to weaken significantly. Although the reckless army has an army of more than 100,000, it is also showing fatigue under the continuous high-intensity attack.
On the fifth day, a piece of news came that the main force of the Mang army, nearly 300,000 troops, arrived in Kunyang.
This news made Wang Yi overjoyed, but for the Han army in Kunyang, it was undoubtedly a head-on drink.
The two reckless armies, combined with one army, totaling more than 400,000 troops, set up a company camp outside Kunyang City.
The camp of the Mang army was built around the city, and the camp alone surrounded Kunyang City. This large area of company camps, no matter from the angle of Kunyang, looking out of the city, there is no end in sight.
If there were only more than 100,000 Mang troops outside the city, the Han army inside the city would still have the confidence to go on like this, but now that the main force of the Mang army has arrived, the number of enemy troops outside the city has reached more than 400,000, and it is simply a nightmare for Kunyang, which has only about 10,000 people.
There was no need to wait for the 400,000 Mang army to attack in a big way, Li Yi once again suggested to Wang Feng that his side had no chance of winning this battle, and he should surrender to the Mang army as soon as possible.
Wang Feng advocated surrender for the first time, that is, he listened to Li Yi's suggestion, and as a result, the messenger sent was killed, Wang Yi did not accept his surrender at all, which made him lose face, and now Li Yi proposed surrender again, Wang Feng was also beating a drum in his heart.
He deliberately grimaced his face and said, "Ji Wen, Wang Yi's attitude is already very clear, he refuses to surrender, and now he surrenders to him, isn't it self-inflicted?" Li Yi Zhengse said: "Chengguogong, the first time we surrendered, was before the war, Wang Yi thought that our side was weak and easy to bully, so he refused to surrender, and now after four days of fierce fighting, the combat strength of our army is enough to impress Wang Yi, and now surrender,
Wang Yi categorically would not refuse again. After a pause, he said meaningfully: "Cheng Guogong, the reason why our army was able to withstand the strong attack of the Mang army for several days is because the Mang army has too few troops, and now the strength of the Mang army has reached more than 400,000, and our army can still withstand several rounds of strong attacks by the Mang army?" Mountains and rivers are poor
At the end of the day, only by surrendering can you save your life! ”
Wang Feng thought about it repeatedly, and finally nodded, adopted Li Yi's opinion, and wrote a letter of surrender to Wang Yi again.
This time Wang Feng wrote a letter of surrender, Wang Chang didn't even stop him, he didn't bother to say anything more, let Wang Feng toss it!
And he didn't think that Wang Yi would surrender this time.
Wang Yi is a person who is arrogant and arrogant, and since Wang Feng's first surrender has been rejected by him, he will not accept this surrender, otherwise, it will be tantamount to slapping himself in the face.
Sure enough. Wang Yi saw the second messenger sent by Wang Feng, and after reading the surrender letter written by Wang Feng, he ripped the surrender letter on the spot, pointed at the messenger, and said sharply: "Divide this anti-thief, cut the corpse into a mess, and chop it into meat paste!" ”
The guards entered the tent, dragged the messenger and went out.
"Wait!" Yan You stepped out of the queue and bowed his hand to Wang Yi and said: "General Wang, Wang Feng has repeatedly asked to surrender, and our army should accept it!" In his opinion, there is really no need for him to be angry with Wang Feng.
The siege of the city in the past few days has been fruitless, which is enough to prove that Kunyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the defenders are tenacious.
Wang Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Na surrender? It's so cheap for them! If I don't kill all the thieves and people in the city, I will be ashamed of my trust in Your Majesty and the spirit of the dead in the sky! ”
As he spoke, he glared at the guards and shouted, "Kill! ”
The first unlucky guy sent by Wang Feng was also killed, but he was only beheaded, and the second unlucky guy was crushed by the Mang army. When the news came back to Kunyang, people's reactions were much calmer than the first time.
Before the war, the two sides did not have any deep hatred, Wang Yi killed his own envoy, after so many days of fierce fighting, the Mang army lost so many soldiers in Kunyang, with Wang Yi's personality, it is normal not to surrender again.
However, the failure of the second surrender can be regarded as a complete break of Wang Feng and the others' idea of surrendering, even if Wang Feng still wants to surrender and wants to surrender again, it is estimated that there will be no third messenger in the whole army.
On the fifth and sixth days of the Battle of Kunyang, the Mang army was busy setting up camps, and on the seventh day, the Mang army attacked again, but this time the attack was a wheel battle of 400,000 people.
400,000 people, so many as to submerge the small city of Kunyang, of course, so many people can't attack all at once, and they can't use it, and they will attack in batches.
Perhaps in response to the sentence of death and resurrection, the Han army, which surrendered again and was rejected, broke out with tenacious combat effectiveness in the battle to defend the city, and repelled the Mang army round after round of attacks, one after another.
400,000 people took turns to fight, but they failed to defeat Kunyang City. I have to say that once a person is cornered, he can really burst out with unimaginable power.
I thought that Kunyang could be taken without blood, but I didn't expect it to hit to such a point. On the eighth day of the siege battle, the Mang army arranged a large number of archers and many large crossbow beds outside Kunyang City, and constantly fired arrows at the head of the city and inside the city.
