Chapter 625: Patience for the time being
Gao Lianshan has one appearance to his confidants, and when he faces Yan Xi Gunai, he is another appearance.
This person is a member of the Dajin Sect, and he is very close to Ah Guda's bloodline, and his name is above the Wanyan Lou Room and the Wanyan Silver Technique. I don't know how much it is.
Among the Gao Zhao rebels, he is a well-deserved actual commander. That Gao Lianshan and Zhao Hui are puppets on the face.
"The villain understands. He will launch soldiers, build more trenches and ladders, and launch an offensive in a few days, and he will definitely break through Fuzhou City and behead Guo Yaoshi. ”
Such an oath made Wanyan Xigu very satisfied. But as one of the high-level Jurchen leaders, he is also a complete face Xi Gu Nai who has fought all the way to his current status, and he has not completely forgotten the cruelty of war. "Fuzhou's city defense is average, but there are so many soldiers and horses guarding it inside, which should not be underestimated. When capturing the city, you need to pay more attention and don't be careless. "The Gao Zhao rebels suffered too many losses, and the losses were also the strength of the Jurchens.
As for what Gao Lianshan invited, he divided his troops to seize the distance, and Wanyan Xi Gu Nai also agreed.
In this way, Gao Lianshan consulted with Zhao Hui and asked him to lead troops to seize Yuanzhou first, and settle the baggage and logistics of the army properly. The next day, Zhao Hui led his troops around Fuzhou and headed east.
Gao Lianshan led another 30,000 or 20,000 rebel contract Jurchen soldiers and horses, dragging the long ladders and trench bridges that had been built for many days, and advanced towards Fuzhou. The army camped five or seven miles outside the city, and first sent Zhao Wenquan's troops to attack the city.
The vast fields outside the city of Fuzhou are covered with endless cyan and endless. More farther, there is a grassland covered with grass, but it is just such a piece, from the west of Fuzhou, hundreds of miles are wild Gobi, Liao is uninhabited.
Guo Yaoshi had already withdrawn all the people into the city, and any materials that could be used by the enemy were either transferred or destroyed, and not even a single hair was left to the Gao Zhao rebels. After that large group of rebels, there were thousands of real Jurchen elite soldiers wearing heavy armor and straddle tall horses. The rest and Wanyan Xi Gu were left behind in the camp.
These people all wore smooth skulls, only braids behind their ears and heads, and their appearance was so strange that they were ugly.
A few people wear gold and silver rings on their left and right ears, and they are the generals and nobles in the army.
The current leader, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, wearing heavy armor, a bow hanging from his saddle, a pot of arrows at his waist, and a mace weighing forty or fifty pounds in his hand, with a fierce expression and fierce eyes. It was Alibao.
"There are no mountains and no water, and it is indeed not a difficult place." Zhao Wenquan looked at Fuzhou. He was originally a Khitan Han general, Gao Lianshan's subordinates led the army, and when Gao Lianshan and Zhao Hui rebelled, he was one of the strongest supporters.
Therefore, he was regarded by Gao Lianshan as a confidant, and his soldiers once had 10,000 people. However, he fought again and again, so that most of his men lost most of them, especially in the battle against Yelu Yanguang and Yelu Yujian, and the number of troops that escaped from the birth of the queen was only 5,000, and he tried to attack the city before, and then lost hundreds of people, and now he is the first to capture the city. Even though there is no danger in this Fuzhou City, Zhao Wenquan is secretly troubled in his heart.
At this time, Ali Bao led a hundred and ten people to gallop over, squeaked a few words, and someone around him explained that Ali Bao was asking him to attack the city quickly. These Jurchen soldiers lived a very comfortable life in the rebels. There was good wine and meat every day, and there were women and little women, so those days were not too good. Alibao is especially fond of ravaging noble women, and among the rebels, he will not be happy.
In the earlier battle, naturally many Khitan noblewomen and beauties were captured, but the best goods could not be his turn.
"Straight sissy thief! This group of bald birds is ruthless! Zhao Wenquan scolded the Jurchen barbarian in his heart! Why don't you go by yourself? But in the face, he still had to be careful with Ali and immediately commanded the soldiers. The horizontal and vertical mountains are also called to besiege the city.
"There are all battalions! Straighten out your equipment and prepare for the siege! Zhao Wenquan gave an order, and thousands of soldiers moved when they heard the news. More than a dozen shield carts were placed in front of the formation, and behind them was the moat bridge. Finally, there is the long ladder.
Zhao Wenquan looked at the head of Fuzhou City, and it was vaguely seen that the guards of the city had been covered in the city. You can even see the generals in armor and robes talking to each other at the tower. Before the big battle, both sides were in full swing to prepare. It's just that I don't know if Pharmacist Guo is in the city, and I want to dig out my heart and tell him, I really don't want to fight.
"General, Ali Bao asked me to launch an offensive immediately." A general ran to his side and said loudly. Naxiu said that it was Zhao Wenquan, even Gao Lianshan had to be respectful in front of Alibao. Therefore, Ali Bao gave Zhao Wenquan an order very naturally.
"Fucking thief birds! If you don't toss your grandfather's belongings, they won't stop! Zhao Wenquan scolded in a low voice.
The general also showed helplessness and persuaded: "The Jin people sent these thousands of soldiers to supervise the battle, let's be careful." ”
Zhao Wenquan glanced at the thousands of golden soldiers, all of them were real Jurchens, and they were all cavalrymen, he really couldn't afford to provoke them. Then he turned his head and saw that his men were ready, so he ordered the siege of the city.
"Drums, Golden Soldier!" The generals shouted loudly, and when the words fell, they could hear the war drums thundering!
A majestic drum sound echoed under the city of Fuzhou!
"Siege!"
As soon as the military ordered, the soldiers in front pushed the shield cart and struggled forward. Behind them, too, a long line of shields, and a group of crossbowmen stepped forward and fired at the head of the city under the cover of their shields, as well as the moat bridges behind them.
Behind the scenes, the drums are beating!
Zhao Wenquan looked at the city of Fuzhou again, and saw that the defenders' crossbowmen were all in place, and arrows were raining down at this moment.
Arrows are flying on the city! Zhao Wenquan saw that there were soldiers who were constantly hit by arrows and fell to the ground, and this was the case in the city and the city. Fortunately, the trench bridge had been pushed to the trench under cover, and it was tightly stuck on top of the trench. At the same time, the long ladder troops behind began to run forward.
The defenders of the city, the denser the arrows! Those who were hit by arrows under the city, those who fell to the ground and wailed, abounded, and more of them wailed, and they were immediately pierced with sharp arrows all over their bodies after a while.
But at this moment, the real woman behind her suddenly roared, and Zhao Wenquan saw it, but it was the long ladder troops who had crossed the trench bridge and put the wooden ladders on top of the city of Fuzhou.
As soon as the long ladder reached the city wall, the soldiers below shouted in unison, climbed bravely one by one, and charged upwards with all their might!
Zhao Wenquan's heart couldn't help but tighten, although he knew that this Fuzhou City could not be taken down so easily, even if this city was not as tall as the county seat of Nanjing Road. But there is a reverie in my heart, and it would be great if I could go to the top of the city in one go.
But reality soon told him that it was delusional. On the long lift, although the soldiers swarmed up, how could the arrows at the head of the city rain down, and the stones and rolling trees greeted together, and the besieging soldiers fell like hailstones. Although there were crossbowmen who shot back under the city, the other party was condescending and had an advantage.
Siege warfare is so helpless, no matter how much advantage the attacking side has, just say that the initial hand-to-hand combat, the defender who relies on the city is more advantageous.
Zhao Wenquan glanced back and sneered, "Guo Yaoshi is not an easy person. Come and pass on the drums to help the army! ”
The sound of war drums thundered again, this Fuzhou is just a small city, and at this time it has been shrouded by the sound of shouting and killing and the roaring war drums.
Zhao Wenquan's expression was very gloomy, just like this, he was afraid that he had already lost hundreds of soldiers and horses. Glancing back at the Jurchens who had not said anything, he scolded fiercely in his heart, but he could only order the soldiers to continue the attack.
The great war continues, and the battle of the offensive must not be impatient, and a fortress is often stormed for months without being broken. This is all the same.
Half an hour passed, Zhao Wenquan took a deep breath and stared intently at the city. He has a bad premonition, and he is afraid that he is going to bleed profusely today. Because so far, the Jurchens behind it have not stopped.
Although Zhao Wenquan hated it in his heart, he knew that he couldn't turn back now, and the Jurchens had the power to kill him, and he couldn't afford to offend.
Even Alibao, the bastard, also has the power to kill himself in front of the battle.
Thinking of this, Zhao Wenquan was a hundred unhappy in his heart.
Damn, it's unpleasant to do it with the Khitans, and it's also unpleasant to serve the Jin soldiers! Straight lady thief, a group of pickled birds.
Just as he was thinking like this, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, but it was Ali Bao who led a few guards to break in, but he thought that Zhao Wenquan's army's offensive strength was too small.
"Is this still small?" Zhao Wenquan looked back at it and scolded MMP again in his heart. But it was at this time that the soldiers with four or five long ladders began to retreat!
These bastards who don't remember to eat or fight! Don't you know that the Jurchens are behind the scenes? Death in the city is death, and death in the hands of the Jurchens is not death?
He turned his heart sideways, took up three or two hundred soldiers, beat his horse, and galloped forward. Forced the retreating soldiers to return to the city, and those who violated the order were beheaded!
"General, you can't fight. The defenders of the city are extremely tenacious! If the arrows rain down, some brothers will go up to the city, and they will come with either a big sword or a heavy axe! An officer cried.
"General, the defenders at the head of the city are very strong. Even if we fight out, it's hard to overcome! ”
Zhao Wenquan's mouth moved, and he couldn't speak. Whether the defenders of the city head are really good, he still doesn't know, who knows if the defenders can maintain the current level for a long time? But he knew that if he retreated at this time, Ali Bao would be able to smash him into a pulp with a stick.
"People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Take care of yourselves, but drive your soldiers forward. Helplessly, Zhao Wenquan could only say this to his subordinate generals.
And at the head of Fuzhou City, Guo Yaoshi looked at the rebels who were retreating and returning, and his face was completely heavi. With this kind of ability to attack the city, the Gao Zhao rebels really have 200,000 people, and it is difficult to say that Fuzhou City was taken.
In fact, five days after the siege battle, even that Wanyan Xi Gu Nai also understood that it was almost impossible to rely on the Gao Zhao rebels to capture Fuzhou City.
The news was quickly spread by him to Weizhou, where Wan Yan Xian was also in charge. This person is the fifth brother of Aguta, and he is also a high-ranking power in the Jurchen leadership. Now he sits on the Liaojin front line and is the marshal of all armies.
After the latter's letter, he directly sent an order, telling him to watch and do it, and if he could attack Fuzhou, he would take it, and if he couldn't take it, he would retreat and leave.
Jin Guo is already planning to attack the Khitan, but now the preparations are not complete, and the season is wrong, so we must be patient for the time being.
