The thirty-eighth round, the two armies jointly attacked Spring Valley
After dawn, Zhang Yi gathered his soldiers, gathered his prisoners, crashed the booty, dismantled the camp, and returned to his camp.
At noon, he returned to the camp, handed over the captives to Yang Yanyu and Yu Min, and asked them to count the spoils and count how much they had gained.
After the camp was handed over to the two of them, Zhang Yi took the troops to rest, and after a night of marching and fighting, he rushed back non-stop, he was too tired.
After resting until the next day, Yang Yanyu took the list and handed it to Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi looked at the list and captured 1,100 people, 176 sets of armor, more than 3,600 weapons, 106 camp tents, 124 horses, and 78 war horses. More than 1,200 pieces of cloth, more than 1,800 pieces of five-baht money, more than 3,000 pieces of gold, silver, jewelry, lacquerware, 1,000 stones, more than 300 cars and horses, and countless pieces of wood......
What a reward! Zhang Yi was very happy to read the list, and said to Yang Yanyu: "Send the captives to the riverside camp, and then directly transport the grain to Chungu County to join me." ”
"No!"
Yang Yanyu left with the captive, and Zhang Yi rested here for two more days. He wanted to wait for Liu Muzhi, but Liu Muzhi still didn't show up for two days, which made him a little surprised, didn't Liu Muzhi come to join him?
If he didn't understand, Zhang Yi didn't want to do it, and went directly to Chungu County.
Li Jing welcomed Zhang Yi into the Spring Valley camp, and the two families were united in a single place, with more than 20,000 people, which was four or five times the number in the city.
With Zhang Yi's soldiers, Li Jing began to attack the city. On the front, Wei Wentong took Zhang Yi's personal soldiers, plus Li Bao took Shi Jinbu, and attacked up along the mound.
Lei Xu led people to infiltrate the city from the tunnel, and the tunnel had been dug under the city wall.
Zhang Yi summoned the craftsmen and once again built the proposed stone thrower. To be honest, Zhang Yi really wanted to summon a mathematician, and once he had a mathematician, he could let the mathematician draw the drawings of the stone thrower.
Although Zhang Yi understands the principle of the stone thrower, he knows nothing about drawings. The last time I made a stone throwing machine in Nanchang, it took a month, and if there were drawings, the craftsmen would only need three to five days to do it.
Tai Shi Ci led his soldiers to constantly resist at the head of the city, condescendingly shooting arrows and charging, repelling wave after wave of impact. However, their casualties were also very high, because the armor rate was too low, and the wells outside the city were very high for their damage, especially when they were focusing on the siege team, and the arrows were often ignored.
Tai Shi Ci was shot by Zhang Jun on the well because of this, not to mention the others?
After six or seven days of fighting, the casualties in the city had exceeded 1,000. The morale of the soldiers was low, and Tai Shici was also in poor spirits because of the arrow wound, as if he was infected.
Cheng Pu's injury was not healed, but he still said to Tai Shici: "Ziyi, you should take a rest, otherwise you will definitely not survive until the reinforcements arrive." ”
Tai Shi Ci smiled bitterly, "General Cheng, there are no reinforcements." ”
Where does Cheng Pu not know? He just wanted to deceive Tai Shici. He had already seen that if reinforcements were coming, they should have arrived a few days ago. Moreover, Zhang Yi's reinforcements came from the northeast, and he must have defeated his own reinforcements.
But what if there are no reinforcements? Don't you still have to hold on? It's hard for them to withdraw now.
Tai Shi Ci endured the arrow wound and said to Cheng Pu: "General Cheng, we still have to find a way to break through, Chungu will definitely not be able to hold it, and we will find a way to escape." ”
Cheng Pu looked at Tai Shici and asked, "Ziyi, can we escape with our current situation?" ”
Tai Shi Ci looked at Cheng Pu's injury, then looked at his own injury, and sighed slightly, indeed! The two were too badly injured. But he couldn't sit still, he pondered for a while, and said to Cheng Pu: "-General Cheng, why don't we dig tunnels too?" ”
"Huh?" Cheng Pu looked at Tai Shici in surprise, not understanding what he meant.
"We also dig a tunnel that leads out of the city. When the enemy entered the city, we left the city through the tunnels, and then passed through the enemy's camp to fight our way out of the siege. ”
When Cheng Pu heard this, he kept thinking in his heart. After the enemy enters the city, most of the capital troops will definitely enter the city, and there will be much fewer soldiers and horses in the large camp, and it should be much easier to kill them. Thinking of this, his face was happy, "Okay, just do it!" ”
Cheng Pu went to arrange the digging of the tunnel, and Tai Shici continued to defend the city.
Zhang Yi's siege troops also lost nearly 2,000 people, and many attacks did not succeed, so Li Jing temporarily suspended his troops, made adjustments, and waited for the stone thrower by the way.
After ten days of installation, the stone thrower was finally made. Zhang Yi first let people conduct a test shot, but only three of the five stone throwers were more accurate, and the other two hit one on the road of his own people's charge, and one almost hit the well.
It's good that there is no siege now! Otherwise, their own soldiers will surely suffer.
Zhang Yi immediately made adjustments with the craftsmen, and then conducted a test shot, and after several times, the five stone throwers were completed.
Tai Shi Ci stood at the head of the city, saw the stone throwing machine outside the city, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, when he was in Nanchang, it was these stone throwing machines, the morale of the soldiers in the city fell greatly, and Sun Ben died in battle, so that Nanchang City was broken.
Now seeing the stone thrower again, Tai Shici is in a very bad mood! He wanted to rush down and burn the trebuchets, but he didn't.
If it were another army, Tai Shici would definitely organize a death squad to do this, but Zhang Yi's army couldn't do it, his army was too much Yu Yanming, and the death squad would be sent to death if it went down.
Looking at Zhang Yi's soldiers, Tai Shici was very greedy, if he could lead such an army to fight, it would be worth dying.
But the reality is often so cruel, if Zhang Yi had attacked Jiangdong a few years earlier, would he be under Zhang Yi's command now?
It's a pity that it was Sun Ce who hit Jiangdong first! Sun Ce has the grace of knowing himself, and even if Tai Shici dies, he will not surrender. It is enough to have a confidant in life! There is no need for a second one.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" ……
The stone thrower kept throwing stones at the head of the city, and Tai Shi Ci organized the soldiers to hide.
But he didn't pay attention to it, a stone smashed on the city wall, and a small stone burst out, and it hit Tai Shici's head, causing his head to buzz and fall on the city wall.
"General!" Tai Shi Ci's personal guards immediately picked up Tai Shi Ci and sent him down the city wall for treatment.
Wei Wentong knew Tai Shi Ci, and he saw that Tai Shi Ci was knocked unconscious at a glance, and immediately shouted: "Tai Shi Ci is dead!" Rush with me! ”
"Tai Shi Ci is dead!" "Tai Shi Ci is dead!" ……
Zhang Yijun followed Wei Wentong and shouted and rushed to the mound and attacked the city.
