Chapter 322: Tianwei Panic (3)
[Regarding the matter of the explosive bag blowing up the city wall, well, Heng Yi also feels a bit exaggerated, in addition to spending a lot of time on stones, the ancient city walls are basically made of bricks and soil, and the degree of solidity is not the same, the warrior has great strength, everyone should be a warrior carrying a super explosive bag, embarrassment]
On the twenty-sixth day of the first month of the fifth year of Tiancheng, Shi Mincai led 18,000 Yun clan troops to break through Aocang County in a battle, killing more than 14,000 enemies and capturing more than 16,000 enemies (at most slightly injured, seriously injured and killed directly), except for the 30,000 Wang clan defenders in Aocang County, who was seriously injured and broke through, no one else escaped.
In this battle, the Yun army led by Shi Mincai suffered weak damage, with only more than 300 dead and wounded, and less than 50 killed in battle.
On the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month, after a day's rest, Shi Mincai's army set off and continued to attack the city and plunder the land.
Originally, Shi Mincai's army was about to set off after leaving a part of the city defense army after the battle, but there were too many enemy soldiers captured in this battle, and once the number of troops left behind was small, it was easy to have accidents, so Shi Mincai decided to stay in Aocang County for a day to deal with prisoners of war and the dead bodies on the battlefield, and then continued to set off early the next morning.
After Shi Mincai's army captured the county town of Aocang, which was heavily defended by the Boling Wang's army, it was basically difficult to encounter a large number of enemies in a short period of time.
The Boling Wang clan had less than 80,000 troops, of which 10,000 horses and other four great families in Laihe Prefecture formed an alliance to attack the area controlled by the Baode Wang clan in the north of Tongzhou, while the rest of the men and horses were scattered in the area controlled by the Wang clan, encircling and suppressing warriors everywhere.
The Boling Wang clan originally planned to resist the Yun army's army of less than 20,000 with the heavily defended Aocang County, but they did not expect that the county seat of Aocang would fall in just one day.
Even if the Yun army has not yet come, the warriors will look for an opportunity to sneak attack Wang's army, so that the Wang clan must send a large number of men to encircle and suppress these warriors, but in the end they have not obtained much success, and they are tired of coping with it, and they cannot gather troops to support the front line.
The Boling Wang clan is in danger!
In the days before and after Shi Mincai's army captured Aocang County, the other three Lin Zhe army, Yun Zhuo's army, and Yunjing's army also defeated the enemy they were facing.
Especially the Yunjing army, the Yunjing army is facing the combined forces of the Li clan and the Chenggao Hu clan, and the Hu clan and Zezhou have very few areas bordering, so the Hu clan and the Li clan raised troops together, with a total of 40,000 horses stationed in Chunming County, which is closest to Zezhou in the Li clan's territory.
However, in front of the Yunjing army, which was equipped with a large number of firearms, there was not much difference between 10,000 horses and 40,000 horses.
The large number of people was indeed a problem, and Yunjing decided to only carry out long-range artillery bombardment of Chunming County, and not charge.
In the next three days, hundreds of artillery pieces of the Yunjing army regularly carried out large-scale bombardment of Chunming County, almost half of the shells carried by the Yunjing army were shot out, and Yunjing also sent warriors to throw more powerful explosives packages at Chunming County, so that the city wall of Chunming County was seriously damaged.
For three days in a row, from morning to night, from time to time, artillery shells fell into Chunming County and exploded, and the 40,000 Li and Hu allied troops stationed in Chunming County were unable to sleep at night amid the thunderous explosions, and they did not even dare to move around in Chunming County at will, for fear that they would be killed by shells in the next moment.
Although the Li Hu coalition army explained the knowledge of the Yunjia army's firearms to the low-level soldiers, telling the soldiers that the Yunjia army's firearms have a long range and can produce a violent roar, but after the large-scale bombardment of the Yunjing army, the soldiers were all frightened by the roar of the explosion of shells and explosives packets, and many soldiers were killed and injured by the shells.
"Tianwei, this is Tianwei, this is God who wants to punish us."
From time to time, riots broke out in Chunming County, and the low-level soldiers almost collapsed in the face of the continuous bombardment of the Yunjing army, and finally these soldiers who broke down and made crazy moves were all killed by the law enforcement team, but small-scale chaos in Chunming County still occurs from time to time.
During these three days, the top brass of the Lihu coalition army even planned to break through from the county seat of Chunming County, but when they sent nearly 10,000 men out of the city to raid the array of a certain Yunjing army, they were repelled by a rain of bullets, and the Lihu coalition army suffered heavy losses, and the top brass of the Lihu coalition army had given up the plan to continue to break through.
On the morning of the fourth day, Yunjing felt that the bombardment was almost over, so he sent a messenger to Chunming County with Yunjing's letter of persuasion.
In the letter of persuasion, Yunjing used both soft and hard, as long as the Li-Hu coalition army surrendered, he Yunjing could guarantee the safety of all the lives of the Li-Hu coalition army, if the Li-Hu coalition army continued to resist, death was the only fate of the Li-Hu coalition army.
You can think about it, on the battlefield where the artillery is full of fire, who can sleep, maybe the next moment there will be bombs around them to explode and take their lives, and the Li and Hu coalition forces almost spent these three days in fear.
Yunjing's letter of persuasion was sent to Chunming County, in the face of this letter of persuasion, the high-level of the Li and Hu coalition forces were silent, they didn't know whether to continue to resist or surrender to the Yunjing army, the battle reached this point, the high-level of the Li and Hu coalition forces already understood that they could not win this battle, they knew that the firearms equipped by the Yun family army were very powerful, but they still underestimated these firearms.
"Come down." Li Xiang, the commander of the Li and Hu coalition forces, said such a sentence bitterly, Li Xiang understood that Chunming County, which was garrisoned by 40,000 troops, could not stop the Yunjing army, and the entire Li clan and Chenggao Hu could not stop the Yunjing army, the strength of the two was no longer on the same level, the strength of the Yunjing army was too strong, no wonder the Yunjing army of only 18,000 people dared to surround Chunming County, which had 40,000 defenders, on all sides, and the strength was the confidence of the Yunjing army.
The main generals of the Li Hu coalition army lost the heart to fight again, not to mention the mood of other generals, surrender became the choice of most people, and only a small number of generals chose to resist to the end and were arrested by Li Xiang's order.
From ancient times to the present, the war between the families often does not reach the point where one of the families must be completely destroyed, as long as the winner will achieve absolute superiority, the loser will almost give up, and the winner will not exterminate the loser, everyone is a family with a long heritage, who has a backhand, no one can completely destroy whom, only let the hatred continue, and the two families will also pay countless lives for this.
