Chapter 660: Fu Li's support for the Saichu army

Wei Jun...... Have you attacked the county?

On August 19, when Xiang Mo, the defender of Fuli Sai, once again repelled the attack of the Qilu coalition led by the Qi king Lü Xi, he spread out a map of the vicinity on the table in the military hall of the fortress to organize his thoughts. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He had received a message for help from Sun Shuke, the commander of the county guard, today, when he was directing the attack of the Qilu coalition army, and he had no time to think about anything else, and it was only now that he had time to think about the whole thing.

It's no wonder that the King of Qi, who was still a while ago, suddenly launched an abnormal onslaught on my Fu Lisai in the past two days, twelve hours a day, and he had to fight for nearly eight hours, originally thinking of dragging my Fu Lisai in order to create opportunities for his Wei allies on the western road......

As soon as he recalled the onslaught of the Qilu coalition army on him in the past two days, Xiang Mo felt a palpitation.

The catapult developed by the craftsmen of the Lu Kingdom, the kind of war weapon called the Tianshi chariot, is really terrifying, and the strike distance actually reaches nearly three miles.

A boulder as big as a millstone roared and flew three miles and smashed into the hearts of the Chu soldiers of Fu Lisai, even if there were hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers in Fu Lisai, they were not completely sure of holding this pass.

Fortunately, this kind of Tianshi chariot needs to use a special stone bullet that has been polished, and the craftsmen of the Lu State who marched with the Qilu coalition army also need a certain amount of time to polish this stone bullet, otherwise, Xiang Mo even doubted that his Fu Lisai would have been destroyed by this stone bullet and completely submerged.

If it was just that special catapult, Xiang Mo would not be so jealous, the problem is that in the army of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, there are many other war weapons created by the craftsmen of the Lu State.

For example, the Longji ballista, this kind of giant ballista, has a range of about 400 zhang, and in the "close range" of nearly 200 zhang, the kind of iron pillar that is roughly estimated to be the arm of the human arm **** out of this ballista can actually directly penetrate the solid stone city wall of Fu Lisai.

And if it hits Chu Bing, it won't even be able to leave the whole corpse.

At least more than once, Xiang Mo had seen his own generals torn apart by the huge iron arrows of the dragon's spine ballista.

But the most terrifying, has to be the world-famous Lu State organ crossbow box decades ago, that is the real sense of the killing war weapon, once upon a time, the Qilu coalition army relied on this war weapon, slaughtered hundreds of thousands of peasant soldiers in the Chu State, and finally because of the inability to dispose of the corpse in time, so that the outbreak of the plague, so that the Qi King Lu Xi's crusade against the Chu State of the war was over.

Compared with the rumors of the year, the crossbow box of the Lu State Organ that appeared in the Qilu Coalition Army this time has been significantly improved compared to that year in terms of range, power and accuracy.

If it weren't for the power of this war weapon, which couldn't penetrate the strong defense of Fu Lisai, I'm afraid Xiang Mo would really be desperate.

However, having said that, Xiang Mo still has full confidence in holding Fu Lisai, because in his opinion, the cost of those terrible Lu war weapons on the opposite side is also huge, even if it is a powerful Qi State, it cannot be endless.

After all, Qi is not a country rich in iron ore.

And once the iron ore in the Qi State is exhausted, even if they have the terrible war weapons developed by the craftsmen of the Lu State, what can they do to Fu Lisai and the Chu State?

Therefore, the strategic intention summarized during this period of time at the end of the item was to "guide" the Qilu coalition army to consume the bullets of those war weapons in Fulisai.

It has to be said that in just these two days, Fu Lisai has harvested many huge iron crossbows from the Qilu coalition army, and the weight is actually more than the finished iron tools produced by the Chu State, which is not good at smelting iron ore, in a few months or even a year.

If it weren't for the fact that Chu was good at smelting bronze rather than iron, otherwise, just smelting these huge iron crossbow arrows would allow Chu to add a batch of new iron equipment and armor.

However, what Xiang Mo didn't expect was that when the situation was "very good" on the frontal battlefield of Fu Lisai, the ally of Qi State, Wei State, and the three Wei troops who came to help in the battle, had actually conquered Xiangcheng and were almost going around the back of his Fu Lisai.

This is not good news.

Although Fu Lisai is specially set up to defend against the Qilu coalition army, and the defense facilities of the entire pass can be called impregnable, the problem is that if an enemy army goes around the back of Fu Lisai and cooperates with Lu Xi, the king of Qi on the main battlefield, to flank Fu Lisai before and after, even if it is Fu Lisai, I am afraid that it will fall.

After thinking about it, Xiang Mo ordered his personal guards to summon four 5,000 generals: Zuo Liang, Shen Tukang, Hou Yu, and Si Defeat Changhe.

Note: The 5,000 generals are almost already military attachés of the rank of general and adjutant general, but their status is different. In most cases, there is a fixed number of generals and adjutant generals in an army. When the number of generals and deputy generals is full, many generals in Chu can only become 5,000 generals, except for the increase in the number of troops in their hands and a slight rise in status, there is no essential difference between the rest and 3,000 generals. However, if the general and the lieutenant are unfortunately killed in battle, these 5,000 men will have a chance to ascend to the throne.

"General."

A moment later, Zuo Liang, Shen Tukang, Hou Yu, and Si Wei Changhe, four 5,000 generals, came to the military conference hall and saluted Xiang Mo with their fists clenched.

So, Xiang Mo then sent the letter of Sun Shuke, the guard general of Hao County, to these four generals, and said to them: "According to the letter that I have just received from Sun Shuke asking for help, the number of this Wei army is as high as 80,000, and I am afraid that Hao County will not be able to resist. …… Xiang Mo specially allowed you to lead 10,000 troops, a total of 40,000 troops, to support Gong County, and not let the Wei army conquer Yu County. ”

Hearing this, Zuo Liang frowned and asked, "General, did the Wei State break through Xiangcheng so quickly?" ”

Xiang Mo nodded, then pointed to the letter and said: "According to Sun Shuke, the Wei army seems to have defeated Mengshan's Doulian, Xiangcheng's Nanmen Chi, Nanmen Jue, and Nanmen Huai in just one day and night...... Sun Shuke suspected that it was the Nanmen clan who saw that the battle situation was not good, and took the initiative to surrender to the Wei army...... Therefore, Xiang hopes that one of you will go to Qi County to see what is going on, if the Nanmen clan really turns their backs on my Great Chu and takes refuge in the Wei State, they will be punished. ”

"Yes!" Zuo Liang, Shen Tukang, Hou Yu, and Si Yu Changhe hugged their fists and led the way.

Seeing this, Xiang Mo told again: "Hao County and Qi County are important cities that strictly guard this section of the Huhe River, and they must not fall into the hands of the Wei army, otherwise I will become precarious......

Zuo Liang, Shen Tukang, Hou Yu, and Si Yu Changhe nodded.

At this time, Shen Tu frowned and said: "Having said that, General, Qi County is better, but Gong County, that is Juyang Jun's fiefdom, according to the last general, Juyang Jun also has more than 100,000 troops, why can't he hold a Gong County?" ”

Xiang Mo sneered slightly when he heard this: For example, Juyang Jun Xiong Li, the princes and nobles of the Xiong clan, doesn't he know about it? I'm afraid that in the eyes of those people, the safety of the king of Chu, Du Shouying, may not be as important as their fiefdom.

Xiang Mo had no doubt that the Juyang Jun Xiong Li must have ordered hundreds of thousands of troops under his command to defend Juyang and protect his wealth, and as for Sun Shuke of Juyang County, in a sense, I am afraid that he is also a "abandoned" general.

The country...... Ay.

Xiang Mo sighed secretly, and there was an inexplicable feeling about where his Chu State would go in the future.

"Just take the order!" He said with a straight face, obviously not wanting to explain the whereabouts of the hundreds of thousands of troops of Juyang Jun Xiong Li.

Seeing the displeasure on Xiang Mo's face, Zuo Liang, Shen Tukang, Hou Yu, and Si Defeated Changhe, four or five thousand generals, did not dare to say anything more, and after leading the troops resignedly, they left the military hall.

About an hour later, 40,000 Chu troops left from Fulisai, three of them with a team of 10,000 people went to Gong County, and the 5,000 people led by the defeated Changhe went straight to Qi County.

And this strange dispatch was not long after it was discovered by some green crows who were staring at Fu Lisai, who on the one hand sent someone to remind Wu Ji, the general of the merchant army who was still fighting hard in Qi County, and on the other hand, he quickly sent someone back to Zhao Hongrun.

I have to say that the feet of the green crows are generally very fast, as long as they don't encounter a small cavalry like Huan Hu at the beginning, otherwise, their speed will definitely be faster than the object of surveillance.

No, after the 40,000 Chu army left Fu Lisai, they only drove less than fifteen miles away, but those green crows had already sent the news to Wu Ji and Zhao Hongrun respectively.

Let's not talk about Wu Ji's reaction after learning the news, and say that Zhao Hongrun is here.

In all fairness, Zhao Hongrun was not surprised that the 30,000 Fu Lichu soldiers rushed to support Hao County.

After all, that Sun Shuke in Gongxian County is really a little capable, yesterday the Yanling army was obviously struggling to attack the city, and paid a heavy price, but there was no chance to conquer Gongxian, it can be seen that Sun Shuke is indeed an excellent general.

But even so, this is the end of the county.

"The gates have been breached!!"

"Wow——!!"

In the distance, at the north gate of Xuanxian County, there was the excited shouts of the Yanling soldiers.

Yesterday, Zhao Hongrun personally promised the Yanling army: as long as the county is conquered, then the nobles of the Chu State who used to be rich and unkind in the city, he Zhao Hongrun, as the commander of the Western Route Army, the king of Wei, specially allowed the Yanling army to seize his family wealth, so that the whole army of Yanling could share it.

After that, the newly surrendered general Zou Xin also intended to spread the wealth of the huge rich Wan clan in Xuanxian County in the army, which made the generals of the Yanling Army enthusiastic one by one, whether it was morale or fighting spirit, it was a burst of tables.

Relatively speaking, after yesterday's brutal siege battle, the morale of the defenders of Pongxian County was generally low, so that today Yan Mo only commanded two rounds of strong attacks, and broke through the north gate of Pongxian County, not only successfully suppressed the defenders of Pongxian County into the city, but also took the opportunity to open the north gate.

The city gate was breached, which meant that the obstruction of the Wei army by Haoxian County had come to an end.

What General Xu Yin said is true, the victory or defeat of the siege battle really depends on the morale of the two armies the next day......

Zhao Hongrun sighed with emotion, and watched from a distance as the Yanling soldiers and generals in the distance excitedly entered the city.

"How many Fu Li Saichu soldiers are there in this Xuan County?"

He turned to ask the crows who were kneeling on the ground beside him.

"About 30,000 visually." A green crow said in a deep voice.

"Good! Now that the king knows, go down and rest. ”

Zhao Hongrun calmed down a few words, then turned his head to Zongwei Mu Qing and said, "Mu Qing, summon Yan Mo over to discuss the ambush of the incoming Fu Li Saichu army." ”

"Yes!" Mu Qing clenched his fists and left.

A moment later, the military flag of the Yan Ling army was erected on the tower of the city tower of Hao County, announcing that the city had fallen into the hands of the Wei army. (To be continued.) )
