Chen Wang Chen Zheng relied on the family, because of his father's reason to trust Yuan Chen, no matter what decision Yuan Chen made, Sun Siping had no choice but to follow behind his ass to clean up the mess, since he became a deputy general for several years, it has been the same.

But this time it was very different from the past, King Chen listened to Yuan Chen's suggestion and transferred 100,000 troops to attack Qin. At present, Chen Guo is the weakest among the five kingdoms of Xiqi, and he still wants to take advantage of the four kingdoms and the Tang and Song dynasties to take down the Qin State in one fell swoop.

After taking the Qin State, he immediately discussed an alliance with the Tang and Song dynasties, replaced the position of the Qin State in the Tang and Song dynasties, and used the power of the Tang and Song dynasties to suppress the Fujian and Han countries.

Hearing Yuan Chen's idea in the court that day, Sun Siping almost didn't want to snatch the sword in the guard's hand and slashed Yuan Chen with one sword.

Chen wanted to use the power of the Tang and Song dynasties to suppress the Min and Han dynasties, while the Qin state relied on the power of the Tang and Song dynasties to strengthen itself. The difference between the two is not visible to the Tang State and the Song Congress. Besides, when the Qin State had already made a brotherly alliance with the Tang State and the Song State, how could it be changed repeatedly?

On the contrary, if the Qin State was really defeated by the Chen State, it could also ask for help from the clan in the country or the neighboring Tang State.

Chen Guo's desire to take down Qin before the Han State of Min made a move this time was completely wishful thinking. Helplessly, Sun Siping and several reasonable ministers persuaded hard, and Chen Zheng, who was bent on strengthening the Chen State, couldn't listen to it at all.

In the end, Sun Siping and others forced Chen Zheng to write a letter asking Wu Yue for help, which stated that he was willing to cede half of Xijun as a reward.

In this way, Chen Zheng just sent the letter to Wang Yuanping, the Taishou of Xijun, and asked him to act at the opportunity.

In the afternoon of the next day, Yuan Chen led an army of 30,000 to besiege the city again, but today he only attacked the two city gates in the southwest.

This point was suggested by Sun Siping, since Yuan Chen sacrificed those brothers, he pushed the boat down the river to attract the momentum and divide the Qin army.

The Qin army in Xinyang City experienced yesterday's battle and was bound to be demoralized. At this time, Chen Guo only stormed the two city gates in the southwest, and left the two city gates in the northeast alone, which would inevitably divide the Qin army into two camps, which would cause everyone in the Qin army to fear and avoid war.

However, Yuan Chen and Sun Siping never expected that the morale of the Qin army today was very different from before, and when they stood on Xinyang City, they found what they believed in......

Under the south gate, Sun Siping glanced at Yuan Chen, who was sitting at the west gate, and raised his arm, ready to attack.

Sun Siping's prestige in the army is much higher than Yuan Chen's, and he doesn't need to follow Yuan Chen's example of painting cakes for soldiers to satisfy their hunger, but he can also stimulate the morale of soldiers. Why is that? It is because he has clear rewards and punishments, as long as he meets the conditions for winning awards in the army, he will never deduct it, nor will he allow the generals below to privately encroach on the merits of others.

This kind of prestige is the accumulation of more than ten years of personal accumulation, and it is believed by the soldiers, not the fame accumulated by the generations of those generations, and even the new recruits who enlist every six months are secretly admired in their hearts when they listen to the veterans often talk about how Vice General Sun is benevolent and righteous.

Fit, Sun Siping's side is just purely commanding the attack, but his morale is still better than Yuan Chen's.

What is very different from yesterday is that Sun Siping has already closely deployed the siege order before the attack.

Chen Guo's attack was still 30,000 soldiers, Yuan Chen's main attack on the west gate was 20,000 horses, and Sun Siping's main attack on the south gate was 10,000 horses.

"Oh-"

Yuan Chen's side sent out an attack, the sword and shield soldiers rushed to the front, the chariot and the battering ram followed, the archers followed, and the first 5,000 men and horses slaughtered towards the west gate!

On the other side, Sun Siping also sent troops almost at the same time! The archers hid behind the sword and shield soldiers, and cooperated with the catapults to strike at the Qin army on the city wall. The chariot and battering ram were not used, and they were directly replaced with shield soldiers who fell arrows like a storm against the Qin army, and placed the cloud ladder on the city wall and quickly evacuated.

This style of play immediately stunned Zhuang Siping, who commanded the south gate, and had to command the soldiers to pour boiling oil on the ladder to avoid the arrows of Chen Jun under the city wall.

Originally, the city wall had a height advantage, and the protection ability of the female wall was much higher than that of the shield soldiers under the city, but the catapults in the distance aimed at the city wall to carry out endless strikes, so that the Qin army was at a disadvantage in the shooting.

Compared with Yuan Chen's orderly play, Guo Xiao, who was sitting at the West Gate, handled it with ease, but the situation at the South Gate was not optimistic.

There were 3,000 soldiers guarding the south gate, and only 1,500 archers.

The archers of the Chen army under the city were divided into groups of 100 people, and the whole 20 groups stood in different positions, making it difficult for the Qin army to concentrate firepower.

Zhuang Siping put one hand on the hilt of the sword, and secretly gritted his teeth, he knew that if the soldiers and spearmen were replaced with bows and arrows to support, first, there were no archers who practiced archery accurately, and secondly, once they were replaced, the garrison strength was insufficient, and the Chen army under the city would climb the ladder in one go.

"No! If this continues, the morale of our army will be exhausted! Zhuang Siping saw that the soldiers in the city were pressed and beaten, and frowned secretly.

Zhuang Siping shouted at the guards beside him, "Go to the camp to find the general, please transfer a thousand archers!" ”

"No!"

The guards immediately ran towards the west gate!

"Damn!"

Zhuang Siping's eyes were firmly fixed on the Sun character who was flying the flag a mile away, and he hated it in his heart.

Sun Siping, who was a mile away, frowned slightly, and muttered, "It's strange, it's been half an hour... It stands to reason that the morale of the soldiers of the Qin State should have collapsed! ”

In his opinion, after yesterday's bloody battle, even if today's soldiers are not the same wave of people who participated in the battle yesterday, staying in the camp and looking at the corpses carried back, he should be worried in his heart.

And the kind of fighting style that Sun Si just deployed, not to mention the Qin army that had never experienced war, even if it was against a battle-hardened army like the Xiqi Five Kingdoms, it could crush their morale.

But at the moment, although the damage on Chen's side is comparable to that of the Qin army, the Qin army, which occupies the high ground, has been pressed by Chen's army to fight, but it can still hide behind the women's wall when Chen's army organizes archery, looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

If the Qin army still persists like this, even if Chen Jun's arrows are sufficient, and there is another wave of archers in rotation, the arm will be out of strength if it continues to hold on like this.

On the other side, in the face of Yuan Chen's crazy onslaught, Guo Xiao's 3,000 men and horses desperately resisted, but Yuan Chen sent 10,000 soldiers in one round of attack.

More than 100 ladders were set up on the city wall, and the soldiers of the Chen army were like grasshoppers on a rope, wanting to climb slowly.

Although Guo Xiao led the army to resist desperately, the number of enemy troops was too large, and from time to time, fish that slipped through the net climbed up from the ladder and entangled with the Qin army on the city wall. In the end, it was Kang Hongbo who was ordered by the general Sima Tu to lead a thousand fresh troops from the battalion to come to the aid and defend the West Gate.

"General! At the south gate, please transfer a thousand archers! ”

The guards around Zhuang Siping hurried to the camp and shouted.

Just after Guo Xiao was transferred a thousand fresh troops, Zhuang Siping came in again to ask for help, Sima Tu frowned slightly, and asked, "The south gate is only 10,000 troops, and 3,000 troops are more than enough, why do you need to ask for transfer?" ”

The guard nodded and gave a brief account of the situation at the south gate......

Hearing this, Sima Tu had a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Among the Chen army, there are still people who have such courage!" ”

From the statement of the guard, Sima Tu could judge that Sun Siping, who led the army, completely wanted to break through the south gate in one battle.

Regardless of the loss of arrows, the six thousand archers took turns to go into battle, just to wear down the morale of the soldiers at the south gate in one go, and take the opportunity to climb the south gate in one go. If this is successful, it will be fine, if it fails, the arms of the 6,000 archers will not be able to draw the bow for at least half a month. Although this move is a dangerous move, it shows that Chen Jun is not necessarily a person with wine bags and rice bags.

According to Zhuang Siping, who was guarding the south gate, he not only wanted to ensure that the Chen army could not climb the city, but also to counterattack the archers of the Chen army who had the upper hand, and was undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

In the end, Sima Tu still sent 500 archers from the east gate and the north gate to support the south gate.

After a cup of tea, the guards hurried in with a thousand archers, and the situation was reversed at once.

A mile away, Sun Siping watched the sudden increase in arrows shot from the city wall, and knew that there were reinforcements to help, and he sighed in his heart.

Hurriedly instructed the guards on the side: "Go find the general, invite three thousand archers!" He said that he would be able to break down the city gate today! ”

"No!"

"Wait! Then ask the general to send 20,000 troops to the east and north gates to guard the town. ”

"No!"

......

"Oh-"

The soldiers of the Chen army sent out the third round of attacks, but Yuan Chen, who was in charge, frowned. The so-called one prosperity, two declines and three exhaustions are not unreasonable, even if Yuan Chen tripled the bounty for breaking the city gate and some bounties such as posthumous pensions, the morale of the soldiers of the Chen army has also declined.

Seeing Guo Xiao leading 4,000 Qin soldiers to stop his 20,000 people outside the city, Yuan Chen secretly hated in his heart.

After fighting for half an hour, the soldiers of the Chen army were exhausted and were called back by Yuan Chen.

Yuan Chen looked at these defeated soldiers, and his heart was secretly angry, but it did not come out of his mouth. He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, his face showed a kind look, and repeatedly assured those soldiers that the rewards after the war, as well as the pension of the dead soldiers, would be implemented by him personally, but asked these soldiers to go back to the camp to rest first, and wait for the next day to destroy the Qin State.

After those soldiers retreated, Yuan Chen once again brought in a few powerful generals and generals, ready to deploy a new round of attack.

"Report!"

The fast horse galloped from the south gate from the west gate, and Sun Siping's escort jumped under the horse and saluted Yuan Chen, "See the general!" ”

Yuan Chen glanced at the person who came, and knew that it was Sun Siping's personal guard henchman, so he asked angrily, "What's the matter?" ”

"General Sun is expected to break the city! Please also ask the general to send in 3,000 more archers to help! ”
