Chapter 361: Wave Battle
The Thunder King sat on the ten-zhang high platform at this time, and let the table and the seat collapse be hoisted on the high platform with ropes, and laid down a sumptuous meal, and the two almost half-naked women around him trembled and waited, watching the battle at the head of the city, while enjoying the delicious food.
The blood in the air made Qin Han have no appetite, and there were always layers of bruises floating on his face.
"Qin Caidong, why don't you drink." Thunder said for fun.
"Qin smelled bloody, and felt a lot of discomfort, but at this time he had no appetite, and he hoped that the king of heaven would forgive his sins."
"Eh, the big husband is fighting in the east and the west, and the south and the north, how can there be no reason not to shed blood."
"Yes, yes, what the King of Heaven said is extremely true, it is Qin who is shallow."
Qin Han wiped the sweat from his forehead, his mouth was full of flattery, but in his heart he actually hated the behavior of eating, drinking, and indulging in sexual immorality in front of the thunder array. How can there be a battle in front of the world, and the Lord will enjoy the truth of lewd pleasure in front of the battle. Even though he was dissatisfied in his heart, he couldn't keep it in his mouth, for fear that the thunder would kill him in a fit of rage.
After a while, the commander of 10,000 men came up from under the high platform, and when he saw two women as accompaniment, the people who came turned a blind eye to them, and said in the accent of Sun Guo:
"Respect the Heavenly King, the army has been mobilized, whether to rush to Pucheng."
"Set off immediately, be sure to enter the Pucheng territory before dawn, and arrive forty miles east of Pucheng to hide."
"No."
Captain Wan turned to leave, and Thunder asked again:
"What about our casualties?"
"Respect the Heavenly King, as of half an hour ago, our army's casualties have reached more than 5,000 people, and the casualties are very large."
"......" Thunder was silent, and his heart was taken aback. According to the order of the Heavenly King, all armies and battalions will have a meat meal tomorrow and continue to attack the city. ”
"No!"
Attacking the fortified city of Guangxin, casualties are inevitable, since the thunder has broken through no less than 50 cities, known as no less than five of the world's strong cities, but also did not attack Guangxin for half a day to casualties 5,000 people, according to this, at least 10,000 casualties in a day and night, or even more.
When the Jin army besieged Yin Yangcheng, Yin Yang was surrounded by water on three sides, Han He's tens of thousands of troops besieged 40,000 or 50,000 horses and casualties in January, and the Xian army still only had 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers.
Thinking of this, Lei Ting hurriedly issued the second order and sent additional soldiers and horses to dig the corner of the south wall of the city. The greater the casualties in the south of the city, it also shows that the more defenders of the Xian army in the south of the city, as long as the city wall is dug down, the casualties of the Xian army will inevitably be heavy.
The thunder behind the mask was expressionless, and continued to eat and drink, in order to hide the gaffe just now. After about a moment, the sound of killing suddenly increased. It was dark and the situation was unclear, but it could be heard that the killing was mainly coming from the east gate.
After a while, the commander of a thousand men climbed up to the high platform and said in a panic in the accent of Sun Guo:
"Report, report to the king of heaven, the Xian army suddenly came out of the east gate, and my siege army was caught off guard and was in a bitter battle."
"What, the Xian army came out of the east gate!" Lei Ting was taken aback again, this time he finally put down his chopsticks, pushed away the woman sitting next to him, stood up and looked at the northeast and asked, "How many people are in the Xian army?" ”
"Two or three thousand, but the Xian army is still going out of the city, and it is really difficult to know how many men and horses the Xian army has fallen."
"Hiss......" Thunder was surprised, and a trace of ominous premonition came to his heart at this time.
At this time, the fire outside the east of the city was faintly visible, and it was impossible to distinguish whether the Xian army was still his own people, but he could see the battle line that was retreating like a tide in the dark, and quickly retreated into the camp to the east.
Seeing this, Thunder said in a deep voice:
"Probe again, report this king quickly."
"No!"
When the commander left, Qin Han hurriedly said:
"Heavenly King, let's quickly transfer the sucked soldiers and horses back to the east gate."
"Qin Caidong, if it's just an attack by the Xian army, wouldn't it ruin the plan of this Heavenly King."
"This ...... It was Qin who said it in vain. Qin Han felt speechless, and decisively withdrew Fang Cai's words, but his heart was still up and down.
Lei Ting judged that the Xian army was very likely to attack and harass the city, and there was absolutely no possibility that it was secretly transferring troops to the west. Luo Songting grasped Lei Ting's idea, and deliberately divided the 25,000 soldiers and horses into five, and killed 5,000 people out of the city each time.
When the first wave of 5,000 men opened the gap and the casualties exceeded 500, the second wave of 5,000 men was immediately dispatched, and then the first wave was withdrawn, and the third, fourth, and fifth waves alternated and rested.
When the third wave returns to the city, the first and second waves will draw 2,500 men each, and the sixth wave will be formed, and when the fourth wave will return to the city, the second and third waves will be drawn with 2,000 men each to merge the seventh wave. After the fifth wave is withdrawn, the sixth wave will attack again, and when the seventh wave will attack, the remaining men and horses of the first few waves will be withdrawn, and the fifth wave will be combined with one part of the second wave, and another 5,000 will be formed for the eighth wave of attacks.
There are four or five thousand people each time, and there are too many attacks at one time, and it is difficult to dispatch tens of thousands of people to the city gate in a short time, and it is easy to kill out, but it is difficult to take it back.
Secondly, 25,000 people took turns to attack, creating an illusion that the rebels were more like the main force of 30,000 or 40,000 people in Guangxin City attacking, but each time there were only 4,000 or 5,000 people, saying that it was not too much, and it was not too much, but it was just enough for the rebels outside the east gate to parry and counterattack.
Every time it saw that it was about to counterattack, the Xian army retreated, and when it was pursuing, the Xian army suddenly killed four or five thousand people, and it was several waves in turn, and I don't know how many men and horses rushed out of the city.
The counterattack of the Xian army outside the east gate lasted for two quarters of an hour, and after two quarters of an hour, it suddenly retreated.
"How many men and horses have fallen in the Xian army?"
"Respect the King of Heaven, four or five thousand people. General Wang asked to hold the camp and suspend the siege. The scout said.
"Only four or five thousand?"
At this time, Thunder thought of a question, why the Xian army attacked the east gate and did not attack from the south gate or the west gate.
If it is to attack the West Gate, the 40,000 soldiers and horses drawn will be able to turn around and rush to the West Gate in a few moments. If you attack the south gate, outside the south gate is your base camp, and the key direction of the main attack is far more than the east and west gates. And the Xian army just attacked the east gate, where the troops were the weakest and the reinforcements were not urgent, so coincidentally, could it be that the Xian army found out that they were not able to transfer troops
Thinking of this, Thunder said:
"Command the camp of the West Gate, add troops and generals, continue to attack the city, and the camp of the East Gate will not be able to hold out."
"No!"
Before the scout had gone far, Thunder said:
"Someone!"
"The subordinates are here." Protector Road.
"Ordered the commander Huang Pu to stop the westward advance, and the men and horses immediately went to the camp of the West Gate, and I attacked the city with all my might."
"No!"
At this time, Qin Han said:
"Heavenly King, why don't you reinforce the east camp and counterattack the west gate"
"Hmph, if our army is discovered by the Xian army, its attack on Dongying is to take advantage of the emptiness of our troops to destroy Dongying. If this is the case, its main force will be assembled in the east of the city, intending to defeat our eastern camp. This heavenly king will plan and attack his Simon! ”
"Could it be that the Xian army has seen through our army's intentions and deliberately attacked me?"
"No, it can't be." Lei Ting categorically denied Qin Han's hypothesis: "Not to mention that Guangxin is surrounded by our army, and the Xian army has no way of knowing the news that our army is defending in Pucheng." Even if they knew, how could the Xian army know that our army intended to lead the Jin army to fight, wouldn't this be a cocoon and make our army fall into the belly and suffer the enemy. ”
The Jin army fought Pucheng, there is a paradox that subverts common sense, since the Jin army has conquered Pucheng, it will watch the rebels gather heavy troops to attack Guangxin, so that they can pick up cheap, and at the same time, the rebels can rest assured that they will besiege Guangxin, without worrying about the Jin army killing from behind. Because there is a core factor in which both the Jin army and the rebels have a tacit understanding, Guangxin!
The Jin army intended to try Guangxin, and the rebels also tried to fight Guangxin, but no one wanted to consume their own strength to fight Guangxin, but at this time, the rebels had already been on the same page as Guangxin, and the Jin army would never stab the knife from behind, otherwise not only would the Jin army not get Guangxin by itself, but also have to fight with the rebels, so that the Xian army would take advantage.
If it is normal logical thinking, after the Jin army attacks Pucheng, even if the Jin army will not kill from behind, any reasonable commander of the unified army will not sit idly by and watch a tiger lying behind his back, either withdraw troops from Guangxin, or increase troops in Guangxin to beware of the Jin army from behind.
And Thunder took advantage of the fact that the Jin army had no way to attack from behind, attacking the psychology of the rebels who were besieging Guangxin, and went the opposite way to besiege Pucheng to fight the Jin army, and lured the Jin army of Leicheng out to save Pucheng.
forced more than 100,000 Jin troops to go to Dingyang City to consume Dingyang's grain and grass, and finally fight Dingyang, which was exhausted of grain and grass, to cut off Guangxin's southward passage. For this reason, it was necessary to fight Guangxin first, stabilize the situation in Guangxin, and create the illusion that the rebels had suffered heavy casualties in the siege.
The whole plan is layered and interlocked, if the Xian army sees through this, and the Xian army goes out of the city to die today, then for what? Are you not afraid of being angry, and the fake show really attacks Guangxin? It doesn't make sense.
At about seven or eight o'clock, the second wave of the Xian army attacking from the east gate had just withdrawn, and the Dongying rebels were no longer pursuing, which also attracted the attention of Luo Songting and Chen Yunfeng.
"Senior Luo, the rebels in Dongying have turned from offensive to defensive, and Ximen is afraid that it will be attacked soon, so it's time for us to take the next step, right?"
"It's not time yet. When the rebels storm the West Gate, it will not be too late for our army to strike again. Yunfeng, you go and count the casualties, transfer the injured to the north of the city as soon as possible, and order Xu Wei to act according to the plan. ”
"No!"
The north gate is near the sea, the terrain is narrow, all within the range of bows and crossbows, and the rebels cannot gain a foothold outside the north gate, let alone use weapons to attack the city. To this day, there is neither a rebel siege outside the north gate, nor a large army stationed there, only sporadic rebel patrols patrol day and night in the water to prevent the Xian army from going out from the north gate to communicate news at sea, but they are also easily afraid to approach the north gate.
Therefore, the 15,000 people under the command of Xu Rong were responsible for guarding the north gate, and almost all of them had no armor and only bronze blades, and the new pawns were extremely weak.
At the same time, the fighting in the south city continued unabated, and instead of slowing down the offensive of the rebels at the south gate, Bai Liyan felt that the situation was stabilizing in the first half of the night, because the attack at the east gate became worse.
