Chapter 203: Attack Huai City! 2/5
At the same time, Gongsun Xin also transported the heavy grain of Daliang to Huaicheng, and sent 10,000 Changge soldiers to escort 22,000 prisoners of war and Prince Ji back to the royal capital, except for the 10,000 Changge soldiers stationed in Daliang, escorted the captured 10,000 Changge soldiers, and killed 10,000 Xuanwei army iron cavalry, and the Wei army camp five miles outside the east gate of Huaicheng had 320,000 Wei troops.
320,000 troops, 70,000 cavalry, 120,000 crossbowmen, 70,000 short-cut shield soldiers, 50,000 long-age soldiers, and 10,000 armed soldiers.
And the Wu army in Huaicheng only had an army of 270,000.
Huaicheng is not a big city like a big beam, but a small city, the city wall is only two zhang high, the city gate is also very simple, and the city gate can be blasted open when it hits the wood, which is why Bailihong chose to attack Huaicheng instead of Liugang.
In Huaicheng, in the temporary tent.
"Oh, what can I do!"
"I'm really damned, why wasn't it me who was captured, prince, woo!"
"Okay, don't cry, the Wei army has been assembled, and it looks like they are preparing to attack!"
"Storming? Alas, the walls of Huaicheng are not tall, how can this be good, the Wei army has two behemoths, specially used to attack the city! ”
In the tent, the four generals walked back and forth anxiously, did they lament, these four people were Liu Tong and Bi A, the deputy generals of the left and right, as well as Wu Qing and Qi Hua.
"If we can hold out for a month, maybe the imperial court will come to reinforcements!" Wu Qing said with a sad face.
"A month? Just from here to the royal capital Jicheng, it will take two months to go back and forth, how can a month be, and now there is no soldier or horse in the country, and all the young and strong people of the appropriate age have been arrested, unless the age is lowered, men over thirteen years old, there are still tens of thousands of troops available to support, but even so, without three or four months, the reinforcements will not reach Huaicheng at all! Qi Hua said with a solemn expression.
"Why don't you transfer the Liugang army over and garrison it?" Liu Tong asked with a frown.
"Yes, the Wei army is all in Huaicheng, and there is no need to garrison Liugang at all!" Bia also looked approvingly.
Qi Hua shook his head, "No, the Wei army is cunning, saying that the Wei army is all in Huaicheng, but have you carefully calculated how many soldiers and horses the Wei army has?" No, you are all approximate, there is no way to determine whether the Wei army is in Huaicheng, if the time comes, the 50,000 defenders of Liugang will be transferred over, and there will be a surprise attack by the Wei army? At that time, as soon as Liugang was lost, Huaicheng would become an isolated city, and the Wei army would not have to fight, and we would starve to death in the city because we had no baggage to replenish! ”
Liugang and Huaicheng are in a symbiotic relationship, no matter which of the two cities is lost, the other becomes an isolated city, and the enemy army can go straight to the territory of Wu.
"So what are we going to do? You can't just wait, can you? Liu Tong said weakly.
"What we can do now is really nothing but sit down, but we don't need to worry so much, Huaicheng has our 270,000 army, and defending the city may not be impossible!" Wu Qing frowned and said.
"Now, that's all it can ..........."
"Alas!"
Although there were 270,000 defenders on their side, and the Wei army only had more than 300,000 troops, they still did not have the confidence to hold on.
Defeat is assured!
The Wei army camp, among the handsome tents.
In the handsome tent, Baili Hong is in a handsome position, and Gu Wu and Wing Duck are on both sides.
"Now that the army has been assembled, it can attack the city in advance!" The winged owl was expressionless, and his tone was not light or heavy.
"How sure are you?" Bailihong raised his eyebrows and said.
"Ten percent!" The winged duck said confidently.
"Why?" Bailihong asked indifferently.
"The city wall of Huaicheng is less than three zhang, and the two giant siege vehicles of our army, if they rise to the highest, can reach five zhang, take the condescending momentum of the Wu army, and then shoot them again and again with strong crossbows and catapults, and they will definitely be able to break the city and enter, plus the morale of the Wu army is low, and the soldiers have no will to fight, they will be able to take Huaicheng!" The winged owl explained lightly.
"What should you do after taking Huaicheng?" Bai Lihong asked again, and Gu Wu's eyes widened the whole time.
"100,000 troops surrounded Liugang, forced to land the defenders of Liugang, and the rest of the army drove straight in, entered the territory of Wu State, and expanded the results of the battle!" The winged duck seemed to have the victory in his hands, full of confidence.
Bailihong nodded, glanced at Gu Wu and asked, "Gu Wu, what do you think?" ”
"Whatever you say, it's what you say!" Gu Wu didn't have the slightest opinion.
"Okay, then do it!"
"No!"
.........................
On the second day, at the time of Chen, 320,000 Wei troops poured out, catapults and giant siege vehicles were advanced one after another, two giant siege vehicles rose to four zhang by using the wheels, condescending, and 300 catapults were placed behind, placing two large stones the size of heads.
120,000 crossbowmen and 70,000 short shield soldiers are mixed, located on both sides or behind the giant siege vehicle, 50,000 long soldiers and 70,000 cavalry are in the rear, as long as the city gate is broken, immediately turn into the front and enter the city!
The soldiers of the Wu army on the city wall saw the two behemoths outside the city and the countless black-armored and red-tasseled armies, their hands trembled with fright, their faces were pale, and the four deputy generals Liu Tong and Bi A, the two lieutenant generals Wu Qing and Qi Hua were also full of solemnity and panic.
Suppressed, very depressed, the powerful Wei army brought a huge depression, as if a huge dark cloud was enveloping Huaicheng, and death was hidden all around.
"Wei Feng!!" The winged cattle, standing on top of a giant siege vehicle, shouted loudly.
"Wei Feng!!"
"Wei Feng!!"
Generals at all levels also chanted one after another.
When all the soldiers heard this, they all took a deep breath and burst into a thunderous explosion:
"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and have the same enmity with the son! ”
"Do you say you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd, and work with my son! ”
"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers, and go with my son! ”
The loud battle song resounded for ten miles in a radius, and the morale of the Wei army soared, and the fighting spirit was full, on the other hand, the Wu army was overwhelmed by the huge momentum and couldn't raise its head, breathing in a hurry, and everyone's faces were solemn and afraid.
"Siege !!" The winged duck burst into applause!
"Whew! Call! Hundreds of red-edged and black-faced "Wei" military flags shook in unison, bringing bursts of whistling sounds, accompanied by whistling sounds, the sky was densely packed with arrows!
"Whew! Shout! Shout! Shout! ”
On the giant siege vehicle less than 500 steps away from the city wall, the fifth-layer crossbowmen armed with 12-stone strong crossbows aimed at the Wu army on the city wall, pulled the trigger, and the arrows broke through the air, making a burst of breaking sounds.
"Mi!!" Wu Qing hurriedly shouted.
PS: "It's more than two hundred chapters, and it's a new chapter, calculate carefully, it's been more than a month since the book was issued!" ”
