Chapter 378: Attacking Nanyang (I)
In front of Nanyang City.
Now there is a black pressure outside the city, and countless soldiers wearing black clothes and black armor are lined up according to the phalanx, facing Nanyang City, and many siege equipment can be seen in it during the period.
The black flags are waving in the wind, especially the two large flags in front of the center, which are the most eye-catching.
Now the army in front of Nanyang City is the Qin army.
After arriving at the Nanyang Territory, I rested for a night.
Qin Yin led the Qin army, which had recovered to its peak state, and rushed to Nanyang City, preparing to attack Nanyang City.
Saw.
On the city wall of Nanyang City, there are also many soldiers waiting for the battle, and there are also many flags planted in various parts of the city wall, fluttering in the wind.
The gates were closed, and no civilians could be seen in the vicinity.
Yesterday, Liu Biao had already ordered to go down, close the city gate, and no longer let anyone enter or leave the city, that is, he was guarding against the conspiracy of the Qin army, which can be said to have been arranged early in the morning.
Learned the news that the Qin army was coming to attack the city.
Liu Biao also hurriedly took Kuai Yue and others to climb the city wall, stood on the edge of the city wall, and looked out of the city.
Although it was not the first time he had contact with the Qin army, looking at the momentum of the Qin army arranged outside the city, the faces of Liu Biao and the others were not very good-looking.
After all, in terms of momentum, they have steadily overwhelmed their side.
If they really went out of the city to face the battle, then..., they didn't dare to think about what the ending would be, and they didn't have any confidence in their hearts that they would be able to defeat the imposing Qin army.
Fortunately, they are now in the middle of the city, relying on the towering walls and occupying the vantage point.
looked at the Qin army that had already assembled.
Liu Biao's eyes flashed, and he shouted outside the city: "Qin Yin, as the minister of the imperial court, but you don't care about the peace of the people and use swords and soldiers in vain, you are worthy of Your Majesty's trust in you, why don't you lead the army away to ensure the peace of the Central Plains!" ”
He knew that these words could not make Qin Yin retreat, but he would not think that he was the opposite party, and he would definitely put the charge on Qin Yin's head.
Even if you know what things are all about.
Whether you admit it or not, that's another question.
Hear Liu Biao's words.
"Liu Biao couldn't imagine that you were so hypocritical!" Qin Yin shouted disdainfully as he rode out on horseback.
He didn't expect that it had reached such a point that Liu Biao still wanted to reverse black and white, and he said it so justifiably.
"Qin Yin, do you really want to let the people of Jingzhou fall into the flames of war, displace the people of Jingzhou, and create a lot of murders?" Liu Biao scolded.
He didn't answer Qin Yin's words head-on.
Instead, he is ready to speak with righteousness, and in this way, he can also let the people of Jingzhou stand on his side, and maybe at the moment of crisis, he can borrow it.
He knows how important it is for the people, especially at times like these.
If the people of Jingzhou were united and stood on his side, then he would have won this war with full certainty, drove the Qin army out of Jingzhou, and continued to maintain his position.
As a well-known scholar, this is not a conspiracy, but a ploy.
Hear the words.
Qin Yin, who was in front of the Qin army, also raised the corners of his mouth, and he didn't expect Liu Biao to be really shameless, but this was not a big deal.
After all, a war between the two armies is not a trivial matter, and it is not surprising if they can defeat each other and use some stratagems, it is normal.
The winner is the king, and the loser is the villain, this is not without reason, history is written by the winner.
As for the process used, it is up to others to judge it.
Come to think of it.
"So what?" Qin Yin replied directly, "It's useless to talk more, let the strength between us decide everything!" ”
After speaking.
Qin Yin didn't have the idea of continuing to talk with Liu Biao, it didn't make any sense, unless Liu Biao opened the city gate and surrendered, and this is not possible now.
Then it's just a matter of scoring the winner.
Besides, he brought troops here, not to talk to Liu Biao about who was right and who was wrong.
"Meng Qi, Ling Ming, Ma Dai, the three of you lead 30,000 troops to attack the city!" Qin Yin rode back to the formation and ordered.
"Subordinates and other orders!"
Ma Chao, Pang De, and Ma Dai did not hesitate at all, and responded as soon as they gave up.
Immediately, he rode out on horseback and pointed out 30,000 soldiers of the Qin army, separating from the camp of the Qin army.
"Beat the drums!" Qin Yin commanded.
"No!"
Knock, knock, knock~~
Several stout soldiers of the Qin army standing in front of several war drums, hearing Qin Yin's order, also waved the mallets they held in their hands and began to beat the war drums in front of them rhythmically.
The drums of war beat, and the war begins.
At the moment when the drums of war beat.
"Kill~!"
Pointing out 30,000 soldiers, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Ma Dai, who were walking in front of the Qin army's camp, also shouted at the same time, and rushed towards Nanyang City in the lead.
"Kill, kill, kill~!"
The 30,000 soldiers of the Qin Army behind him, when Ma Chao and the others rushed out, also moved instantly, with a momentum like a rainbow, shouting to follow Ma Chao and the other three, and rushed towards the city.
Among them, there are soldiers carrying siege ladders, and there are soldiers pushing a siege vehicle towards the closed city gate.
Then.
"All the archers come forward and suppress the enemy army on the city walls!" Qin Yin continued to order.
He was well aware of the difficulties of the siege, and in order to reduce the burden of the siege troops, it was also appropriate to let the archers suppress the Jingzhou army on the city wall.
"No~!"
The order is given. 、
Soon, all the archers in the army broke away from the army formation, walked some distance in front of the army formation, and lined up.
After all, the army they were in was still some distance away from the city wall, and they wanted to shoot arrows at the city wall, but they couldn't, they needed to get close to the past to be able to let the place above the city wall enter their range.
In this way, the arrows can be shot on the city wall, causing damage to the Jingzhou army on the city wall.
It can also be used as a cover for friendly forces attacking the city.
Arrange everything.
Qin Yin is also keeping an eye on the situation at the city wall, paying attention, so that he can make corresponding changes at any time, and there will be no problems.
Above the city walls.
Wait until the siege troops of the Qin army come within range of their archers.
"Shoot the arrow~!" Liu Biao shouted.
The Qin army had already begun to attack the city, and it was impossible for him not to react, and directly let the archers, who had already been prepared, shoot arrows to block the pace of the Qin army.
