Chapter 412: Exhausting Tactics

Li Jing glanced at the Fenyang Mansion in the distance, and said seriously: "Can't be careless, they haven't come out to surrender yet, which shows that they have the heart to fight to the death, and we can only fight fiercely to deter them." The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info sent an order to go down, every day the army practiced siege warfare, the army took turns to fight, before the siege war started, but also let the city tense nerves, tired to death. ”

"Yes." Li Daniu and the others hurriedly responded loudly. They didn't know what nerves were, but they knew that it was actually a fatigue tactic to make the people in the city feel less energetic. It's called a tired tactic.

On the second day, the army marched noisily, the war drums rumbled, all kinds of bows and crossbows, all kinds of siege equipment came on the field, and the cavalry roared out and rushed under the city, as if it was attacking Fenyang Mansion.

On the city wall of Fenyang Mansion, Ma Ling and Wu Neng stood on the city wall, looking at Li Jing's army that rushed forward, his face was solemn, Ma Ling glanced at the soldiers next to him again, and saw that although these soldiers were holding bows and arrows in their hands, their arms were trembling, their faces showed fear, and they sighed in their hearts.

More importantly, there is also a big difference in equipment, the equipment of the Song army far exceeds that of the rebels, these rebels only got a small amount of equipment in Fenyang Mansion, where is like Li Jing, after taking over the army, he let people open the arsenal of Taiyuan Mansion and Yangqu, looted the weapons inside, updated the equipment, in addition to armor and leather armor, the bow and crossbow have also increased a lot.

"Siege!" This siege drill was personally commanded by Wei Cheng, and he saw that the army launched a car, which was to transport soil to bury the moat, and the car was stacked with mud, and there would be a special wooden board on it to block it, and the wooden board was also covered with thick mud, which could not only guard against the enemy's bow and arrows, but also resist the enemy's rolling wood and stones and other weapons. Of course, it is difficult to reduce the losses of our own army, but it is difficult to really make a difference.

"Get ready for battle! We must not allow the enemy to fill our moat. Ma Ling said with some concern. The moat of Fenyang Mansion is the water that leads the Fen River, but in fact, the moat has dried up two days ago, this kind of thing is exactly what Li Jing asked people to do, as long as the Fen River is cut off, the enemy's moat is useless, only need to fill a section of the moat, you can command the army to do siege warfare. Although Ma Ling knew all this, he didn't have any way, who let his soldiers and horses not go out of the city?

"Quick, archers, don't let them fill the moat." Wu Neng saw it clearly, and hurriedly shouted loudly. Although there is no water in the moat, it is better than flat ground, and if you want to attack the city, you also need a foothold.

"Archers prepare, put." Ma Ling was also a little anxious, and hurriedly commanded the archers to shoot bows and arrows to prevent Li Jing's army from filling the moat.

The soldiers who had been waiting on the city wall for a long time, after listening to the order at this time, did not hesitate to shoot the sharp arrow in their hands, only to see a dark cloud fall from the sky and hit the earthen cage, but unfortunately, the earthen cage was very strong, and it could not be shot through at all, and the car was still moving slowly, although the speed was a little slower.

Piles of dirt were pushed into the moat in this way, and although there were crossbows on the top of the city, they did not have any effect on the earth cages, and the bows and arrows were shot on it, and they could not hurt the other party at all.

"Bullbow!" Ma Ling on the city wall looked at the soil pushed out of the earthen cage, his face was gloomy, and he hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a bull crossbow, aimed at a earthen cage, a terrible sound sounded, and the crossbow arrow with a thick arm instantly passed through the earthen cage, and the earthen cage collapsed, collapsing to the ground at once, revealing more than a dozen figures, and after a burst of bows and arrows covered, more than a dozen soldiers died tragically in an instant.

Wei Cheng, who was watching the battle from afar, had a gloomy face, but soon gave the order to the soldiers to feint, diverting the attention of the soldiers on the city, the army roared past, and Ma Ling on the city wall had a gloomy face, although the bull crossbow broke through an earthen cage, but the bull crossbow itself was very slow to fire, once there were too many earth cages, it would not work at all, and the enemy at the moment rushed up, and he could only pay attention to those enemy troops.

"Shoot the arrows!" A dark cloud fell again, but it was smashed in the distance with a burst of gold and iron sounds, I don't know when, the other party has covered the top of his head with a shield, probably except for some unlucky ghosts, can no longer kill a few soldiers.

"General, I'm afraid this is the other party's tired strategy." Wu Neng's face on the side was not good-looking, and he said to Ma Ling, in fact, Ma Ling also noticed at this time, the enemy advanced with a shield on his head, and the ladder was not erected.

But Ma Ling didn't have any way, the big knife in his hand pointed into the distance, and said: "Li Jing's siege vehicle is just a stone's throw away, once our side doesn't pay attention, the other party's rushing car will rush up and attack our city gate." Wu Neng also found that not far away, a rushing car was parked there, but it was an arrow away, and it was impossible for the archers on his side to shoot that far.

"This Li Jing is really treacherous, can we let our soldiers keep firing arrows?" Wu Neng said viciously.

Ma Ling's face showed a hint of worry, compared to Wu Neng, he was more worried that the strength of the army could not keep up, and the enemy's tired tactics would make the army lose its sharpness, and at that time, it was almost impossible to resist the attack of the army.

Wei Cheng in the distance was unhurriedly commanding the army to advance, either attacking or retreating, although at the beginning of the attack, there was still some confusion, but after a drill, there was a basis for advance and retreat. He glanced at the cavalry in the distance, the cavalry was led by Yang Zaixing, thousands of cavalry quietly appeared on the side, only the war horses sometimes made a burst of neighing sounds, and the cavalry guarded the infantry to prevent the soldiers and horses from killing out of the city.

"Liang'er, see it! That's the general's lineage, and if you can, you should join it later. Wei Cheng beckoned a young man beside him and said, "Father's life is like this, and the Wei family will rely on you in the future." ”

"Father, after this battle, why don't you join the forbidden army?" Wei Liang asked with some curiosity.

"Where is the forbidden army majestic by the side of the general!" Wei Cheng showed a strange look on his face, shook his head and said: "Follow General Li, you will have a chance to go better in the future, you are still young, you don't understand this, remember, you will almost be transferred to the cavalry, it is good to be the head of the capital, and the general admires the cavalry the most." ”

"Yes." Wei Liang was puzzled, but he didn't speak, he believed that his father would definitely help him speak, but he looked at the cavalry in the distance and felt a little envy in his heart.
