The twenty-sixth episode of Pharmacist Li conquers salt desecration
Zhang Yi had already surrounded Sheyang, and this time he gradually brought 20,000 soldiers and horses. There are also more than 10,000 soldiers in the city, but Zhang Yi thinks that he can actually try it and see if he can capture it. However, after five or six days of attack, thousands of casualties were lost, and the city wall was still not attacked.
Zhang Yi thought about it for a while, but still ordered to stop the siege. "Order Tang He and Lu Meng to assist Li Jing in conquering Yandu County."
Li Jing, LΓΌ Meng, Tang He and the three of them had a total of 6,000 soldiers in their hands, which was enough to attack Yandu County.
Tang He was sent to LΓΌ Meng to make peace since Zhang Yi surrounded Sheyang. Now the two of them have gone to the outside of Yandu County to make peace with Li Jing, and they are under Li Jing's command.
Outside the Yandu City, Li Jing ordered people to surround the city, so he ordered people to put together the wood he transported and put it together into siege equipment. At the junction of Yandu County and Hailing County, preparations for the siege of the city had already begun. The place where he was stationed was still dozens of miles away from Yandu City, and if he assembled the siege equipment first, it would be difficult to move. So Li Jing just made the parts and assembled them when they got to the city.
Lu Meng and Tang He couldn't help but look at each other when they saw the rushing cars, crashes and ladders that had been assembled in less than half a day. They all knew that their lord had a lot of skills in making siege equipment, but they had never seen it. Now that they had seen it from Li Jing, they didn't expect that these soldiers would be able to assemble them.
Lu Meng looked at Tang He and asked, "These soldiers really know everything!" Not only do you know how to fight, but you also know how to make carpenters! β
Tang He said: "Not only that, they will also farm the land, build houses, and build city walls!" β
Lu Meng asked puzzledly, "Why does the lord let the soldiers learn this?" β
Tang He said: "These soldiers are all professional soldiers, and they can only quit the army until they are of a certain age or injured or disabled. β
Lu Meng pondered, "From ancient times to the present, there have been countless people who have been injured and disabled in military battles. If the lord can really give the remnants something to do, he can win the hearts and minds of the people. β
Tang He said: "That's true, as far as I know, the lord has to train the soldiers for half a month before they serve, and he also tells them during the training: sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime." Let them learn more about life-saving, which is why our soldiers use shields. Moreover, the soldiers of our army have a lot of food and salaries, and even if they were in arrears at the beginning, they have now made up for it. Not only the living have made up for it, but even those who are dead have made up for it. And there must be a reward for every battle, and the reward for meritorious service is also fair. The casualty pension was also much higher than that of other princes, and the disabled soldiers were also raised by the local government. β
Lu Meng said: "The hearts of the people are the hearts of heaven, and the lord is so popular with the army, he will definitely use his life and win all battles." β
Tang He nodded, and he glanced at the assembled siege equipment, "It's almost over, let's start preparing too!" β
Lu Meng nodded, but his heart was full of thoughts, he, the lord, was so popular with the army, and he, the general, would also be a captain of the water, which also made him determined to mix well under Zhang Yi. However, he was also secretly determined to study hard, because he found that these colleagues of his were really powerful, Li Jing didn't say it, he could even defeat Zhou Yu, and he would definitely not be able to compare. But Tang He is just a lieutenant who has been promoted, but he talks well, and he is afraid that he is not an ordinary person. There are so many high-level people in a force, and there are not enough people to accommodate at all, these are all competitors!
Li Jing watched Lu Meng and Tang He take place, and distributed the siege equipment to them, "You and the two of you will lead the team to attack the city respectively, whoever captures Yandu first, I will give him the first credit!" β
"No!"
Lu Meng and Tang looked at each other, and both of them felt a burst of pressure. They have known each other for more than ten days, and they usually have no less contact, and they all know that the place is very powerful. They both want to take the lead, so they need to be one step ahead of each other and lay the salt blasphemy.
The two also knew that the soldiers were fast, and after getting the siege equipment, they ordered: "Siege!" β
The subordinates of the two formed two military formations, one on the left and one on the right, thinking about the advance of the city wall. The chariot and the well fence were pushed in front, and the well fence was used to suppress the head of the city, and the chariot was used to approach the city wall, and then finally one on both sides of the car crashed and pushed towards the city gate.
There are not many Guangling soldiers in Yandu City. Chen Deng and Yu Ban decided to defend Sheyang, Yandu was forty miles away from Sheyang, and it was really inconvenient to support each other. Therefore, Chen Deng and Yu Ban withdrew most of the Yandu defenders and grain, and brought them to Sheyang City. Therefore, at present, there are only 2,000 defenders in Yandu, and in the face of Li Jing's offensive, they are also overstretched, and they are unable to support the left and right.
LΓΌ Meng's soldiers approached the city wall first, and he led the troops longer than Tang He, so he knew the soldiers better. After Sun Ce died, he was already a Sima of another department. And Tang He was only a small lieutenant before, and if he wanted to master two thousand soldiers and horses at once, he couldn't handle it for a while.
Li Jing prepared ten well fences, lined them up, and suppressed them against the city. Bows and arrows have little effect when facing armor. But at this time, the armor rate is not high at all. No prince would try his best to get more protection for his subordinates like Zhao Yu, and the other princes only had iron armor and leather armor. And Chen Deng is not Cao Cao's descendant, so he can't get Cao Cao's support; And the soldiers of Yandu are not Chen Deng's descendants, so they can't get Chen Deng's support.
In the face of the incessant rain of arrows, the Yandu defenders could only dodge. In this way, the rush car and the ladder were given the opportunity to get close to the city wall, and LΓΌ Meng personally beat the drums for the soldiers to increase morale. The encouraged soldiers stormed the city and went up to the walls, and when they had reached the walls, the defenders of the salt came and tried to push them down the city.
However, when they swarmed over, they found that the enemy was actually all soldiers in armor. Although it is not iron armor, leather armor and even strange wooden armor, but it is also armor! They swung their swords and slashed at them, and found that the wooden armor was stronger than the leather armor.
Moreover, Zhang Yijun's soldiers are very powerful, and it is strange that more than ten of them can't push six or seven of them.
When Lu Meng saw that his side had attacked, he immediately stepped up the drum beat and urged the soldiers to step up the attack.
Tang He saw that Lu Meng went to the city first, and he was also very anxious. Basically, he couldn't get this head skill, so Tang He gave up the idea of fighting for the merit, and he also ordered to step up the attack to help Lu Meng relieve the pressure.
There were more and more ladders and chariots leaning on the city wall, and more and more soldiers were climbing the city wall, and soon a battle formation was established, and it quickly expanded to the surrounding area, and in less than an hour the city tower was taken down, and then rushed down the city and killed into the city.
