Chapter 8 Chu Dayong, who has no place to play
Yun Yue's words were agreed by most people, after all, a Xianyang guarded by hundreds of thousands of people is much more difficult to deal with than a Xianyang guarded by tens of thousands of people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Even if you can't occupy Xianyang, controlling Yongdu can be regarded as occupying a large piece of land. In the future, even if the imperial court has any ideas, it will have to think twice. Moreover, Yun Yue was sure that Jing Er would not dare to transfer Wang Jian back, if he concentrated an army of millions. Pingliang will definitely not be able to fight, if it is only a war of more than 100,000 or 200,000 people. Pingliang still coped with it, and it was best for the Qin people to carry out refueling tactics in batches. This is the most wonderful thing, but Jing Er is not stupid yet.
"Since everyone agrees, without further ado. Infantry is needed to besiege the city. Chu Dayong's troops set off overnight, Lao Ao, you work hard, take your cavalry to Yongdu to cut off all their internal and external contacts, even if the enemy's rout has cavalry, there is only one person and one horse. And you have to avoid the pursuit of our army, which is definitely not as fast as you. Remember! When you arrive in Yongdu, you don't have to attack the city, just cut off their contact! In addition, let Murong Xing follow you. Bring more Haidongqing to prevent them from having carrier pigeons. ”
"No!" The two killers smiled happily and changed the decline just now. Yongdu is the former capital of Daqin, as long as you take it, are you afraid that you won't get rich?
Wei Fang saw that Yun Yue even thought of the carrier pigeon, obviously he had already made a draft in his heart. couldn't help but secretly speak, it seemed that the things he thought of had already been thought about by Hou Ye. And he has been thinking about it for a long time in his heart, just looking at this careful thinking, the world will definitely be his in the future. In his thirties, he is in the prime of life. I am old, and this world belongs to the younger generation.
"This time, Qi Guoyuan doesn't have to go, take your soldiers and recruited people to clean up the battlefield. You are mainly responsible for cleaning up the remnants of the sins, and leaving the burial of the corpses to the people. Li Si, you send someone to do it, they are all descendants of China, since they died in battle, they must be properly buried. Put away the blades and everything, and hand them over to Master Geng and the old fisherman. Our cannonballs need a lot of bronze, so let's recast them and use the residual heat! ”
There was another sound of echoing below, and Pingliang was like a huge machine. It was running at high speed again, and the killers who had just snoring were dragged up again. After draping neatly, one person and two horses slaughtered Yongdu.
The heavy infantry battalion was full of joy, and they could only be reduced to spectators when people fought. This made the hoplites very dissatisfied, and this time the siege work was dispatched. Is there a kind of cavalry that you cavalry can ride on horseback and step on the city walls? The mobility of the Yun family's cavalry is not ordinarily strong, and the war horses from the Western Regions have been pouring in continuously over the years. In addition, the number of cavalry has not increased significantly, which directly leads to the fact that each cavalry has three good horses from the Western Regions. This was unimaginable in the vassal states, even the Huns.
One person has two horses, and the horse is not changed. Ao Canghai rushed out of Pingliang City with the cavalry who were sleeping in a daze. Of course, according to Yun Yue's instructions. Murong Xing also followed with a group of Donghu people, and each of them had a majestic Hai Dongqing on their backs. There were a few of them, and their wings were six feet long. Not to mention the pigeon, even the eagle falcon that is waiting for the rest will definitely not be able to escape.
The Yun family's cavalry has one person and two horses, and the Yun family's infantry has takin carts. A huge takin cart could pull eight soldiers, plus their armor and blades, five days' worth of water, and a load of baggage to sustain two days of fighting. Although it is spring, the earth is turning over. But the Yun family's takin carts were equipped with special iron nails and replaced with wide wheels. Although this kind of ox cart is uncomfortable to sit on, Chu Dayong, who is finally catching a fight, cares about this. As long as he can get to Yongdu as soon as possible, he is willing to let him die.
Takin carts drove out of the barracks, filled with hoplites who wanted to go crazy for war. Ever since they became an army, they have fought a terrible battle. Either to fight to the death of the wild men of the West, or to eat ashes behind the butts of the cavalry. This time, I finally got a real siege battle, and it was jubilant from top to bottom. It seems that instead of letting them go to war, let them be the groom's officials.
Sure enough, as Yun Yue expected, the Qin soldiers who fled. Most were infantry, and the number of cavalry was very small. And even these cavalrymen, because of the horses, more or less have to stop and rest, they don't have the treatment of one man and two horses. The search team of the Yun family is constantly searching, all the mountains, forests and grasslands are the targets of their key searches, and many guys who escaped by luck have been caught back by the search team like catching rabbits. Among them, naturally, there were also some cavalry.
In short, very few Qin troops were spared in this battle. And they don't necessarily survive.
Ao Canghai led a large group of men and horses to drive for three days in a row, during which he could only dismount and rest for one hour every day. Just when everyone felt that their buttocks were about to be turned upside down, the tall Yongdu City in the distance appeared in their sight.
Sure enough, Yongdu City still doesn't know anything about Li Xin's defeat. On the city wall, soldiers patrolled listlessly, and even leaned against the wall to be drowsy in the warm sun.
Ao Canghai was overjoyed and immediately ordered the team to separate. The entire Yongdu City was besieged, and Hai Dongqing of the Donghu people also immediately rose into the air. To prevent the people in Yongdu City from releasing carrier pigeons to report the news, Yun Yue's plan was to occupy Yongdu without Xianyang knowing it. In this way, the greatest deterrent purpose can be achieved.
The Yongdu City Guard was almost crazy, and he understood it as soon as possible. Li Xin failed, and the army of 100,000 was killed. He was amazed at how the 100,000-strong army could have been defeated so quickly, and so badly. Not even a single person came back to report the news.
sent only a thousand cavalry out of the city to fight, but where is Ao Canghai's opponent of these talents. In just a few moments, a thousand cavalry were shot by the slaughterers. Looking at the dense corpses of men and horses under the city, the city guards despaired. He ordered people to release carrier pigeons and ask Xianyang for help. Li Xin took away most of the troops in Yongdu City, and now he is left with only 10,000 old and weak soldiers. The most elite cavalry was eaten in less than half an hour after leaving the city. Now, he doesn't have the ability to hold Yongdu.
The credible pigeon was not too high when it was caught by Hai Dongqing, who pounced fiercely from the sky. There were also two carrier pigeons, which were snatched by several Hai Dongqing in the air. Before it could hit the ground, it was torn to shreds.
"It's over!" The castle keeper saw the corpses of the pigeons falling in the sky, and his heart fell to the bottom at the same time.
On the third day of the siege, the dusty Chu Dayong arrived. The team was in disarray, and it looked like the mud was causing him a lot of trouble. However, after seeing the tall Yongdu City, Chu Dayong immediately became excited, and the fatigue along the way seemed to be swept away.
When the castle keeper saw the takin cart at the head of the castle, he was immediately frightened and weakened. He has been in Yongdu for many years and knows how powerful the Yun family's soldiers are. Especially when Chang Yu was in turmoil, he saw with his own eyes the power of hoplites. Looking at the old and weak soldiers of this city, the city guard reluctantly opened the city gate. Go out of the city in person and ask for surrender to Ao Canghai.
Chu Dayong's eyes fell, and he worked hard for hundreds of miles. I had enough suffering along the way, but I didn't expect this to be the result. He couldn't believe it was true.
Ao Canghai accepted the surrender of the city guard with a smile, and took Yongdu City without fighting anyway. This is a great achievement, looking at Chu Dayong's painful expression. He was especially happy that cavalry had an advantage over infantry.
The carrier pigeons accompanying the army quickly passed the news of Yongdu City's surrender without a fight back to Pingliang, and Yun Yue couldn't cry or laugh when she got the express report handed over by Lao Jiang. It seems that there will be fewer and fewer opportunities for Chu Dayong to become famous in the future. In fact, everyone has used infantry these days, but why is it difficult for the hoplites trained by themselves to be useful?
In this year, it is true that everyone has equipped infantry on a large scale, but Pingliang has equipped cavalry on a large scale. Whether it is the takin cavalry, or the light cavalry that comes and goes like the wind riding the war horses of the Western Regions. Or a majestic army of war elephants riding elephants. Strictly speaking, they are all cavalry, looking at the vassal states of the Warring States. Where would anyone have such a large financial resource to equip such a luxurious army out.
If nothing else, it's just the consumption of raising elephants. Even the state of Chu, which produces elephants, wants to raise 500 war elephant cavalry, I am afraid that the treasury will also go bankrupt. What's more, Pingliang raises a large number of takin and rhinoceros. These are all living money-eating machines, that is, only local tyrants like Yunyue's Pingliang can afford to raise.
Yun Yue rode his luxurious carriage into Yongdu City, and the city guard, who had already fought fiercely with Ao Canghai, knelt on the ground, holding a seal letter in his hand and asking Yun Yue to surrender. The Dazheng Palace in the distance was already majestic, and Yun Yue still remembered that she had drunk with Chang Yu and Zhao Ji inside. There was a small child playing at the gate of Taisho Palace.
But all this has disappeared. All those people were reduced to dry bones in the grave, and the child was even more miserable. Burned alive into a pile of ashes!
Now, he has become the master of this Taisho Palace. The world is unpredictable!
Yun Yue sighed in the Dazheng Palace, but Jing Er went crazy in the Xianyang Palace. The news of the fall of Yongdu was still released, but it was deliberately ordered by Ao Canghai to get Yunyue. Now that the fortified city is in hand, he is not afraid that Jing Er will send people to attack. On the contrary, Pingliang's soldiers were all gearing up and waiting for the imperial court to send troops to attack.
Recently, the evaluation standard of Pingliang's military merits has risen sharply, and the first level is as worthless as a straw stick. Those who kill three will not be able to raise their heads, and those who kill five will not be able to see people. Those who kill ten will feel so-so, and the one with the first hundred under his name is called the boss.
"How can this be true? Li Xin mistook me! Jing Er's roaring voice echoed in the Xianyang Palace, and the people in the inner palace all walked with their legs between their legs, for fear of making a little noise. Angered this king in a rampage state!
"Someone! All Li Xin's family members were arrested, and the man was shown to the public. Women are enslaved in official prostitutes! Jing Er smashed the book case with a punch, and blood oozed from his fingertips.
