Chapter 16: The Siege Again
From the perspective of the time, Wei Hou sought change, and Xinzheng, who had a new war strategy, was caught off guard, and bulldozed the four corners outside Xinzheng City, making Xinzheng, the capital of Han, almost an isolated city, but in Zhou Bian's opinion, the Wei army could obviously do better. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since being held hostage by the Wei army, Zhou Bian has actually been paying attention to the Wei army's strategy and combat power and other soft and hard power all the time, and Zhou Bian often thinks, if I command this battle, how will it be fought?
Therefore, this time the Wei army changed its strategy, and Zhou Bian immediately saw several loopholes, or deficiencies.
First of all, it is definitely necessary to send a few groups of troops out to kill some small towns outside Xinzheng City, but the time sequence should be different, the distant Shan Ze should be sent out first, and the nearest Shan clan should be sent out last, so as to ensure that each army launches an attack at the same time, so that the Han army will not quickly send troops to protect the Turze after the nearest Shan clan is attacked, and even ambush the Wei army that sneaks up on the Turbidity.
But the Han army didn't do this, and I don't know if it was the luck of the Wei army or the sluggishness of South Korea, so the Wei army successively attacked three small towns and one big town outside Xinzheng City.
Secondly, if you send troops to attack a small town outside Xinzheng City, such as Malingyi, you can send a large group of men and horses to ambush outside Malingyi, only a few thousand people attack the city, and when the Maling people ask for reinforcements, the large team of men and horses will be killed again, and it will be logical to find a chance to fight with the Korean army outside the city, and maybe you can annihilate the living force of the Korean army.
Again, it is also a point that Zhou Bian is very puzzled about, cut off the horns outside Xinzheng City and make Xinzheng a lonely city, such a good strategy, why didn't he implement it when he first arrived in Xinzheng City, but waited until now? However, the Han people were also right, and they actually let Wei Hou's new strategy be successfully implemented.
Thinking of these three points, Zhou Bian didn't say anything, because Ning Yue and Wang Sun Man were Wenchen, and Su Rui and Zhou Bian still didn't dare to be completely relieved.
However, the Wei army frequently reported good news, and Zhou Bian naturally still wanted to send people to congratulate him, so in the past few days, Ning Yue and Wang Sunman have come and gone back and forth between the Shuai Tent and the Wang Tent many times, and the Wei Hou, under a few congratulations, is even more proud, perhaps his heart has already floated to the sky.
Finally, a few days later, except for the more than 10,000 soldiers who were blocked between Xincheng and Xinzheng, the rest of the Wei troops who were sweeping around Xinzheng City all returned to the camp. Obviously, the Wei army could not only target a few small towns with walled cities, but also sweep some farms and small mountain villages, further weakening the power of the suburbs of Xinzheng in South Korea.
But obviously, the sweep of these small farms will not have any good effect, the Han people will not be so stupid to stay there waiting for you, those who can run have long been hiding in the city, and those who can't run have run away in the car, or hidden, so in addition to killing three small towns and blocking one big town, the biggest gain of the Wei army is in the Shan clan.
However, what Zhou Bian did not expect was that the day after all the Wei troops returned to the camp, the Marquis of Wei sent someone to send a harvest from their sweep outside the city.
It is an ancient tradition for the princes to be ordered by the king to ask for and give the spoils to the Son of Heaven, so when they received it, the people around Zhou Bian laughed, this is a face.
So he was infected, and Zhou Bian was also a little happy in his heart, and in a trance, he finally found the feeling of the co-master of the world and the Son of Heaven. So the people of the royal family gathered in the royal tent and waited together for the arrival of the Marquis of Wei.
However, when the sacrifice came, Zhou Bian was taken aback, it turned out that this sacrifice was not the imaginary seized weapons or food, but a person, to be precise, a woman, a very weak-looking, delicate, and delicate girl.
Zhou Bian suddenly opened his mouth wide, but Sun Man, the king of Ningyue, and the others on the side smiled knowingly, and their eyes seemed to glance at their king intentionally or unintentionally.
And Sima Cuo, who sent the person, smiled very satisfied, "The king, this is a Han girl captured by our army in the Shan clan, and at that time it was regarded as stunning by the Wei soldiers who broke the city, and dedicated to my family's prince, and my family's monarch Hou Si and the king are still in our army, and the army has no respect, so I will enter this Han girl into the king, and I hope that the king will laugh!" ”
Laughing, of course, you have to laugh and accept, how can you not maintain the absurd image of the Son of Heaven that you have finally created? So Zhou Bian licked his mouth, pretended to be overjoyed and nodded, "There is a prince and a prince, and this king will accept it with a smile!" Ning Yue, wait until the king will go to the Chinese army to thank the Marquis of Wei. ”
"No!" For this kind of acting, Ning Yue is very cooperative.
The smile on Sima Cuo's face became even brighter, "This beauty is fourteen years old, and the king will be able to use it in two years." When our army broke the mountain clan, this beauty and her mother hid behind a tiled house, and was almost ruined by the soldiers, but fortunately, a centurion came to see it, so he saved it and gave it to my lord, and my lord thought that this woman was close to the king, so he sent it. ”
Zhou Bian nodded with great satisfaction, and then looked at the girl carefully, and sure enough, the more she looked at it, the more beautiful she became, her skin was fair, like a beautiful jade, and her small face was clearly defined, which was extraordinarily delicate, as if she could pinch it with a gentle hand, and she could pinch out a pool of spring water. Look at the girl's figure, although it has not grown, but it is also convex and backward, and the graceful curve is natural, as if it has announced to the world that this disaster-level beauty has grown.
And the woman next to Zhou Bian, Concubine Liu is dignified, otherwise she would not be selected by the Queen Mother, Tian Qian is beautiful, but her body is not open, if it takes time, I am afraid that she will go to the charming style, so if you look at it this way, if this Zheng girl enters the palace, she will be one of the best.
It's just that this girl is holding her hands in front of her, bowing her head slightly, her face is expressionless, but she is a cold beauty. But it still made Zhou Bian unable to open his eyes, and couldn't help but look him up and down over and over again, knowing that although Zhou Bian was only in his teens, his mental age was more than twenty, hey, if it weren't for the restrictions, Zhou Bian was really afraid that he would really fall immediately.
"By the way, since Wei Hou has the heart to send this beauty, why not send his mother too, so that the beauty can rest assured?" Zhou Bian said suddenly.
Sima Cuo** smiled, "Please rest assured, the king has been arranged, and his mother is outside the tent, so it is inconvenient to enter the account to meet the king." ”
。。。。。。
After sending Sima Cuo away, Ning Yue hurriedly went to return the gift, and the girl's matter was settled, but Zhou Bian kept her in the camp, and since he saw him for the first time that day, he never saw it again, so he was kept in the camp. Because Zhou Bian hasn't figured out how to deal with it, it is obvious that this girl is not voluntary, and in the eyes of a nobleman like Wei Hou, the whereabouts of Xiaomin's life are just a matter of one sentence, but this girl is all she has, maybe it is because of this that she has become a cold beauty.
So Zhou Bian was reluctant to face it, and some evaded.
A few more days passed, and finally autumn came, the west wind blew, and it was cold, so Zhou Bian withdrew the big tent and ended the nonsense splashing.
The Wei army was still resting, except for the daily routine harassment outside Xinzheng City, there was no major army action, and the Korean army did not leave the city, and no reinforcements came.
Everyone was waiting, and finally ten days later, just after a cold autumn rain, Wei Hou's reinforcements came.
However, it is not so much the reinforcements of the Marquis of Wei as the army recruited by the Marquis of Wei. Originally, it was the Son of Heaven who went on an expedition, and he obeyed like a cloud, but under the domineering appearance of the Marquis of Wei, as soon as there was an order, those small countries in Huaishang would not dare not obey.
So, the armies of Cao, Chen, Song and Wei came.
Among them, Cao and Chen are completely small subordinate states of Wei, and their masters have a fate, so they naturally run fast, while Song and Wei are afraid that Wei is powerful, and these two countries are often attacked by Korea, so they also come quickly. So Wei Hou ordered, and within a month, 50,000 reinforcements came.
Cao State 8,000, Chen State 5,000, Wei Guo 10,000, but Song State sent 25,000 soldiers at once, for no other reason, Song State is in the east of Korea, and South Korea is north of Wei State, south of Chu State, west of Qin State, so South Korea can only develop to the east to attack Song State, you said that this received a messenger from the Marquis of Wei, how could Song State not fall into the well?
And because these countries are not far away from Xinzheng, and Cao Guo and Chen Guo are in a hurry, so it is not too bad for a day.
So under the introduction of the Marquis of Wei, the four commanders of Cao Guojun, Chen Guogongzisheng, Weiguo Gongsun Ya and Song Yu, the general of Song Guo, visited Zhou Tianzi Zhou Bian. Although the visit to the Son of Heaven was purely to see the face of the Marquis of Wei, but the three aspects were consciously ignored, so the representatives of the princes respectfully bowed to the Son of Heaven in an extremely harmonious and formal atmosphere, and Zhou Bian nodded, Ning Yue immediately returned the salute and thanked him, and each rewarded ten swords.
After all, they still stand up for the Zhou room in terms of face, but of course, Saber is not by his side at the moment, and he owes it first.
After the reinforcements arrived and rested for a day, finally on a morning of autumn wind and slaughter, the drums in the Wei camp were beating all day, and nearly 100,000 troops left the camp in an orderly manner.
Zhou Bian also rarely boarded the king's chariot and went with the army. This is Wei Hou specially invited him, you must know that the army of the four countries is coming, Wei Hou naturally wants to show his face in front of everyone, so the Son of Heaven has to go.
The 150,000 troops went straight to the east gate of Xinzheng, dusty all the way, adding to the slaughter in this early autumn.
This news has already been discovered by Korean spies, and at this time, on the eastern wall of South Korea, it has long been solemnly waiting, with flags like clouds, spears like forests, and all kinds of defensive equipment have been properly prepared, and the supreme ruler of South Korea, Han Hou has also arrived, and the morale of the Korean army is high.
Of course, these days, the Wei army is not completely unprepared, and all kinds of large-scale siege equipment, such as ladders, lemon cars, rushing cars, watchtowers, and crossbows, have been properly prepared. The crossbow carried by several people was transported from the girder, and the strength of the bowstring alone had to be exhausted by three people at the same time, which was also the strongest long-range weapon of the Wei army, and now this strongest title was naturally robbed by the catapult asked for from the Zhou room, but what puzzled Zhou Bian was, why didn't the Wei army carry it out and use it now?
As for those ladders, lemon cars, rushing cars and watchtowers, the craftsmen in the natural army rushed to do them, but it can be clearly seen that they are much more meticulous than when the Korean army attacked Luoyang.
This is the strongest soldier in the world, whether it is in terms of morale, individual skills, whether it is in the army, or large weapons, it is necessary to stabilize the South Korean army.
As soon as he approached the Xinzheng city wall, the Wei army's shouting and killing sound shook the sky, as if a thunderbolt hit the head of Xinzheng City, and when the first sound sounded, Han Hou on the city tower couldn't help but take a step back.
But just one step back, Han Hou stabilized his figure, yes, at this time, he can't retreat, if he retreats, Xinzheng will no longer be Han Du. So Han Hou blushed and straightened up. At the same time, he also peeked around, but fortunately, the surrounding generals were all watching the Wei army under the city, and none of them noticed him.
So Han Hou breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the Wei army again, several large formations, neat steps, loud horns, and various large equipment mixed in therein, the momentum is so great that it makes people feel better than the previous siege.
Sure enough, this is really worthy of being recognized as the strongest soldier in the world, the first strong soldier trained by Wu Qi, just by virtue of this first strong soldier, Wu Qi fought seventy-six princes of the world, won sixty-four, and did not taste a defeat, and today, although Wu Qi is not there, this world's strongest soldier is still there.
In the past, Marquis Wu of Wei relied on this first strong soldier to seize the land west of the Qin State in the west and the land of the Great Liang of the Chu State in the east, killing the Huaishang countries without bowing their heads and subservients, and establishing the status of the first male of the Wei State in the early Warring States period.
And today, what kind of great achievements does the Marquis of Wei, who has inherited the strongest soldier in the world, want to make?
Therefore, he Wei Qi came to Xinzheng and came to Xinzheng.
The autumn wind whirled, the flag was flying, Zhou Tianzi was beside him, and behind him was the army of the four countries. Wei Hou took a long breath, maybe Qi Huan Jinwen was just like this at the beginning.
So Wei Hou raised his right hand and beckoned.
The 150,000 army immediately began to act, of which 40,000 Wei troops were dispatched and went straight to the east gate of Xinzheng, accompanied by a large number of siege equipment, and it was obvious that the main direction of the Wei army was still at the east gate.
More than 20,000 Song troops and 10,000 guards continued to move south, turning to the southeast gate of Xinzheng and setting up a posture to attack the city. Cao Jun and Chen Jun ran westward, went around to the west of Xinzheng City, and feinted to attack the West Gate.
This is an authentic siege, much more powerful than the Korean army's attack on Luoyang, maybe at this time, Wei Hou began to move.
So all kinds of arrows flew to the head of Xinzheng City without money, and the soldiers rushed to the city as if they didn't want to die, and soon a cloud ladder climbed up to the head of Xinzheng City, and the soldiers waved the shield and long sword, and crawled towards the head of the city with a roar.
This is the most fierce battle after Xinzheng was attacked, the two sides have been killing from morning to night, and the corpses above and below the city are piled up layer after layer, but no one is afraid, because this war is not only watched by three princes and a son of heaven, but it is already related to the interests of both sides.
It wasn't until it was dark that Wei Hou ordered Mingjin.
According to statistics the next day, the five-nation coalition army lost more than 10,000. At this moment, the commanders of the five countries were all really angry, and the loss was so big, and Xinzheng, who had no danger to defend, was still safe and sound. So Wei Hou decided to attack the city again after a day's rest.
And South Korea is even more uncomfortable, the defending side of the city has also killed more than 10,000 people, this is not counting, the key is that there are a few times that the Wei army almost broke through the defense line, just a little bit, the consequences are unimaginable. Therefore, Han Hou was very anxious, and he kept supervising the battle on the city tower until dark.
But what no one noticed was that the gauze scarf stuffed in Han Hou's sleeve was all wet with blood. Maybe some of the guards listened to the king's cough, but no one noticed the blood on the scarf.
(I'm really sorry, I can only update it intermittently, I'm too busy with work, and I can't do it.) But what is gratifying and even exciting is that I didn't expect that there would be no updates for such a long time, and there are still more than 100 member hits per week, which shows that there are still people watching, which makes me feel inspired.
