The thirty-sixth chapter of the opening of the emperor's prosperous era is a fierce battle
Quanta's victory is like a shot in the arm, not only Xiao Maha, Fan was encouraged, after the news spread into the city, Chen Shubao was overjoyed, but also rare wise, from the palace to reward a large number of property, the front-line sergeant was immediately grateful, but also a little more to serve the meaning of death.
However, Chen Shubao, who had just taken out a large amount of property to reward the front-line soldiers, felt that the Sui army was not afraid, and immediately stayed in the harem all day to have fun, except for Shi Wenqing and Shen Keqing, the rest of them could not see the emperor's face at all, and even left Xiao Maha's seventh concubine in the palace for several days.
Baitugang was crowded with people at this time, and it completely became a huge barracks, 80,000 Chen troops first faced 20,000 Sui troops, and took the advantage, and slowly, the Sui army on the opposite side became 40,000, 80,000, and finally became 180,000, and the Chen army fought for several days, and there were more or less casualties, which had changed from 80,000 to more than 78,000.
The most taboo tactics to fight a war, but that is in the case of little difference in the strength of the two sides, Zhongshan camp was built for more than 20 days, has long been a deep ditch barrier, 80,000 Chen army wants to capture the camp garrisoned by 20,000 troops in a short period of time, it is simply impossible, and the peripheral Sui army is less than one day, more than three days away can be reached, with more and more Sui troops in the periphery, gradually surpassing the Chen army, the Chen army can no longer besiege Zhongshan, just shrink and retreat.
Xiao Maha has experienced a hundred battles, although he said proudly in front of Chen Shubao when he went out, the basic battlefield situation judgment is still there, the Sui army that came over with clear armor and neat formation, at first glance it is elite, he sent elite soldiers several times to attack the Sui army that has not gained a stable foothold, but it has failed. By the time the Sui army had increased to the same size as Chen's, Xiao Moqi knew that it would be difficult to achieve victory outside the city, and immediately issued an urgent document requesting to retreat into the city.
It's just that his urgent documents couldn't reach the emperor at all, and they were all pressed down by Shi Wenqing and Shen Keqing, Shi and Shen reprimanded Xiao Maha's idea of entering the city, and sternly ordered Xiao Maha not to bring troops into the city. The Sui army must be routed outside the city.
Xiao Maha was helpless. I had to watch the opportunity to enter the city be lost. When the number of the Sui army increased to 180,000, he immediately revealed his intentions, using tens of thousands of light horsemen on both sides, although there was still a narrow passage behind the Chen army, but the Chen army had lost the opportunity to enter the city safely, if it was in a hurry to enter the city, as long as the Sui army struck with all its strength. It is very likely that Chen's army will lead to a sudden collapse of the entire army.
He Ruobi was defeated for a while at the beginning, and then in order not to let the Chen army out of the city shrink back, he had to pretend to defend the ground, and hid in the village for two days in a row to let the Chen army attack. The two sides built a twenty-mile-long front around the small Baitu Gang. Kill in the dark.
Although Chen Jun was behind the tall city wall of Jiankang for more than ten miles, there was no way to retreat, and he could only resist hard. However, after all, these 80,000 people were rare elite soldiers of the Chen Dynasty, and although the Sui army had an advantage, it was difficult to win immediately.
The sun rose slowly, it was a rare eye-catching day, the winter sun was warm on the maroon red earth of the dividing line between the two armies, these days, this black land was stained with the blood of the soldiers of the two armies, and even the color of the soil had changed.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Behind the Sui army, dozens of strong men with shirtless upper bodies and explosive muscles all over their bodies waved their hands on the ground mallets, and beat the huge war drums on the twelve sides wrapped in the whole cowhide, and the drums spread throughout the battlefield, and a team of Sui infantry in full armor moved forward with the rhythm of the drums, and with each step, the entire ground could be clearly shaken, and these infantry would stretch their spears forward, as if a steel forest was pressing towards the position of the Chen army.
This is the second time that the Sui army has dispatched the ironclad infantry, about a hundred meters or so on both sides of the ironclad infantry, there is a group of light cavalry slowly following with broken steps, these light cavalry are holding the horse lance flat, pointing straight ahead, once the Chen army's position is torn apart by the Sui army, they will not hesitate to increase the speed to the maximum, pounce over, and submerge the Chen army's position.
Behind the ironclad infantry were rows of archers, their arrows had been wound, pointing diagonally ahead, clusters of cold arrows reflecting a faint cold light, ready to cover the Chen army camp at any time.
The Chen army's position is slaughtered, this is the fifteenth day of the battle between the two sides, as time goes by, the Sui army's huge manpower advantage is more and more reflected, in the face of the Sui army's daily non-stop attack, even the iron man will be tired, at the beginning of the Chen army can still maintain a counterattack, now the Chen army has basically lost the ability to counterattack, they are not even willing to consume a little more physical strength, because if the battlefield reaction is a little slow, the next time the enemy attacks, the death may be themselves, can only be quiet
Attacking the enemy.
As the Sui army moved step by step, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and everyone subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands, silently waiting for the upcoming killing.
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Buzz, buzz." The bowstring trembled sounded, and countless feathered arrows flew out from Chen Jun's camp, blocking out most of the entire sunlight.
In the face of the dense flying arrows in the sky, the advancing Sui army ignored it at all, they were all wearing thick iron armor, unless they hit the eye or the tiny junction of the iron armor, otherwise such feathered arrows could hardly pose a threat to them, of course, if it was replaced by a siege city, no matter how thick the iron armor was useless in the face of the attack of the bed crossbow.
"Zheng, Zheng." The arrows fell in the advancing ironclad infantry of the Sui army, and found the sound of metal colliding, and suddenly sparks splashed, and the falling arrows bounced to the side, and occasionally found porphyry, the sound of porphyry entering the flesh, such arrows were not deep into the flesh, and could only be hung on the Sui army with a little force, and they could be pulled out with a little force.
"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing that the first wave of arrows was useless, the Chen army did not stop the arrows at all, their purpose was not the heavy infantry of the Sui army, but the Sui archers who followed the heavy infantry, this war was carried out at the door of the Chen army, although the equipment of the Chen army was not weaker than the Sui army, but only in the heavy infantry could not be compared with the Sui army, the southern water network was dense, the sergeants could not wear heavy armor to fight, in the face of the attack in the north, they also relied on the Yangtze River natural danger for defense, the ironclad infantry was not only expensive, but also useless, Naturally, the Chen army will not be equipped, and now the two sides are fighting a decisive battle outside the city, and yesterday the Chen army has suffered a big deal from the ironclad infantry of the Sui army.
"Whew! Shout! This time, countless sharp arrows crossed the Sui army's ironclad infantry and fell into the Sui army's archers behind the ironclad infantry.
"Porphyry, porphyria, porphyry." The sound of arrows entering the flesh was heard, and the archers of the Sui army who followed behind the ironclad infantry finally suffered heavy losses, and nearly a hundred archers fell, and their blood flowed out, seeping into this land that had long been fed with blood.
"Retreat! Stop! ”
The archers who followed behind suddenly stopped, and took a few steps back before regaining their footing, and the ironclad soldiers in front of them were still slowly advancing, and the two sides gradually widened the distance. Chen's archers fired again, but this time their arrows could only fly between the Sui army's ironclad infantry and archers.
"Kill!"
The two sides were getting closer and closer, and the ironclad infantry of the Sui army finally advanced to the front of the Chen army's formation, and thousands of people shouted in unison, and the entire battlefield was clearly audible.
"Kill!" Chen Jun did not show weakness, the archers in front of him were a point, and quickly retreated, replaced by pikemen and heavy swordsmen, although the iron armor of the Sui army was strong, but not to the point of invulnerability, if it was used vigorously, it could always pierce, and the big knife weighed dozens of catties, even if it could not be cut on the body, it could shock people half to death.
The ironclad infantry is inconvenient, and the best way to resist the ironclad infantry is, of course, a deep ditch barrier, but after such a long time of attacking, the ravine in front of Chen's camp has already been filled, and at the beginning Chen Jun also sent people to dig the ditch again every night, but now they don't have so much energy to do this work, and they can only rely on human lives to fill the hole when they know that the other party is dispatching ironclad infantry.
"Zheng! Zheng! Zheng! "The sound of countless weapons intersecting came, the same weapons pierced people's bodies, and the Sui army could pierce a big hole in Chen Jun's body with a casual stab, but Chen Jun had to use all his strength to pierce into the body of the Sui army, and one corpse fell down, and the casualties on both sides were disproportionate, however, the Chen army still resisted the advance of the Sui army's ironclad infantry.
"Shoot!" Unconsciously, the archers who had stopped just now of the Sui army followed again, and in an instant, countless feather arrows flew to the Chen army's camp.
"Whew! Shout! The arrow feathers fell in the dense formation of the Chen army, and the casualties caused by it were difficult to estimate, and the front of the Chen army, which was still dense just now, suddenly thinned out.
"Kill!" The ironclad infantry of the Sui army then rushed forward, breaking the thin defensive line of the Chen army in all directions, opening a large gap.
"Kill!" The light cavalry of the Sui army on both sides saw that it was cheap, and like a shark smelling blood, they immediately launched an attack on this gap.
"Steady, steady." The battle array was full of the hoarse voices of Chen Jun's officers. A team of Chen Jun quickly filled up, and the two sides formed a new round of strangulation.
