Chapter 1190: Distant Look
However, the city of Psk was heavily guarded, and the garrison of Kiev did not bring enough siege equipment, so after many casualties, it could only temporarily retreat, Yang Zaixing ordered to be stationed near the Ryazan River, and at the same time divided the army into two. Jorkoren has always been worried about when the garrison of Kiev City will attack, but how does he know that at this time, Yang Zaixing has already set his sights on the city of Meisuda, as long as there is no movement in the city of Meisuda, he will never retreat, doing so many things and paying a lot of casualties, just to hook out the garrison of Meisuda City.
Since Bysel was transferred, Quirence, a member of the original blacksmith family, was transferred to Mesouda City, and now there are 30,000 garrisons in Mesouda City, which is definitely strong. Quellence is a very cautious person, and the fight outside is so loud that he doesn't react at all, let alone send reinforcements, and he doesn't even have the heart to offer condolences. Quirens could bear it, but Jorkoren couldn't help it, he was afraid that the Orientals would storm the city of Psk. In his opinion, Quilens is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, preserve his strength, if Quilens can send a force to attack the Ryazan River, or to attack the city of Kyiv, it can greatly reduce the pressure on the city of Psk. Now that all the garrisons in Kyiv are almost empty, isn't it the best time to attack Kyiv?
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and in the end, he picked up the pen and did the biggest stupid thing since the war in Vilnius, and it was this letter that put the Germanic army in an unprecedented predicament. At this time, Jorkoren could never have imagined the outcome of this letter, and even if Lothair was standing here, he might not have felt that there was anything wrong. The Kyiv base camp has formulated a complex and cumbersome plan, and Yang Zaixing is a key step in the implementation of this plan, and Yang Zaixing has lived up to expectations, he uses the sharpest attack to constantly shake the defense line of Psk City, and uncover the fear in the hearts of Jorkollen and others. Jorkollen was not a fool, and at the time of writing this letter, he consulted several noble commanders in Psk, who were full of fear of the army of Kyiv outside the city, and all felt that Quirens had gone too far. A letter was quickly written, and due to the urgency of the military situation, it was quickly sent to the city of Mesotha.
Yang Zaixing was still waiting patiently, he didn't know that Yorkoren had already sent a letter to Missouda City, and in his opinion, the pressure on Psk City was still too small. In fact, some generals in the army don't quite understand what Yang Zaixing's idea is, on this day, Yang Zaixing once again convened everyone to discuss the matter, "Now that the rest is over, Ben will decide to attack Psk City again, tomorrow Bai Chong, Min Gui, the two of you will lead troops to attack Psk City from the east and west, no matter how much it costs, you will need to climb to the top of the city once." ”
Bai Chong and Min Gui both showed shocked looks, Psk City was heavily guarded, the other party was well prepared, and there would inevitably be heavy losses under the strong attack, not to mention that they had to touch the city. But Yang Zaixing's expression didn't seem to be fake, he was very serious, a military order was a military order, and Bai Chong and Min Gui had to carry it out even if they had any opinions, but the two didn't understand how General Yang's style of acting was very different from the past? The military order was issued, and the only thing Bai Chong and Min Gui could do was to find a way to minimize the casualties, and these two were also old fritters on the battlefield, so they could naturally figure out some methods. Early the next morning, the war drums rumbled outside the city of Psk, and 4,000 soldiers of the Dingguo Army began to attack the city of Psk from the east and west. As the soldiers approached the city walls, trebuchets and crossbows began to suppress the city, projecting not only stones but also clay pots filled with fire oil, and a moment later, the western wall of Psk was engulfed in flames. The fire and water were merciless, the Germanic people guarding the city wall were caught off guard, and a Germanic soldier was contaminated with fire oil, and the fire quickly burned all over the body, and the people around rushed to extinguish the fire. In order to defend the city, the Germans also prepared a lot of rolling logs and other things, but now they are fueling the fire.
Jorkoren's head hurt a little, he didn't expect the Easterners to store so much oil, and now the city was in a hurry, and there was no way to prevent the enemy army from approaching the city wall. Sure enough, taking advantage of the chaos at the head of the city, the soldiers of the Dingguo Army quickly approached, and one after another cloud ladders stood on the city wall, and the soldiers held wooden shields snatched from the Germans, and climbed up little by little. The Germanic shields may not have been very protective in battle, but they were still effective in blocking enemy arrows during sieges. There were countless ladders standing on the west city wall, and the soldiers of the Dingguo Army rushed up like a tide, and the commander of the thousand men guarding the city wall trembled in his heart, "Quick, quickly bring up the stones, the easterners are starting to attack the city, beat them down, hurry up." ”
After the constant shouts of the commander, the panicked Germanic soldiers finally regained a little sense, and they began to approach the battlements, throwing stones at the soldiers of the Dingguo army who were attacking the city of Psk. Stones are much better than rolling logs, and wooden shields can't resist them at all, and people keep getting hit by stones and falling down. Bai Chong personally stood under the city and shouted hysterically, "Don't be afraid, keep rushing up, the Germans can't stop us." ”
At this time, the trebuchet was powerful again, because they were afraid of accidental injury, so they adjusted the range of the trebuchet, and most of the fire pots fell into the city. Jorkoren was depressed enough, but he didn't expect that at this time the Orientals would dare to use trebuchets, and after adjusting the range, most of them fell into the city, but some still fell on the city walls. A clay pot fell next to the rolling logs, and in an instant a fire ignited, killing all the Germanic soldiers around them. Seeing that the city was in turmoil again, the soldiers besieging the city were more confident. Glenn, the commander of the Germanic thousands, looked at everything in front of him with a solemn expression, if he continues to fight like this, the casualties will be very heavy, are the Orientals crazy, or are they bound to win the city of Psk? There were more and more rebellions, and finally a soldier of the Dingguo army rushed up with a steel sword, and as soon as he climbed to the top of the city, he brandished a steel knife and slashed the Germans on both sides. One by two, there are more and more loopholes in the place, Glenn sees it in his eyes, and is anxious in his heart, "Quickly inform Lord Jorkoren, send reinforcements quickly, and we must take advantage of the enemy's failure to press forward and push them back." ”
The Germanic people reacted fairly quickly, in fact, Jorkoren had already left a lot of reserves, and as soon as they heard that the western wall was in danger, reinforcements immediately pounced. With reinforcements, the Germans reorganized their attacks and began to encircle and suppress the soldiers of the Dingguo Army at the head of the city. Although the Dingguo army hit the city, the gap in strength was irreparable, and the Germans poured up like a tide, and the first two hundred people quickly drowned in the counterattack of the Germans. The offensive and defensive battle of the west city wall was extremely fierce, and Min Gui, who was in charge of the east city wall, was also uncomfortable. Although the entire city wall was not taken, the fact that the Dingguo army attacked the city in a short period of time greatly stimulated the Germanic people, and they had to send more troops. The tragic offensive and defensive battle continued, close to noon, the sound of the golden gong sounded in the rear, Min Gui and Bai Chong were all completely covered, and the strong attack has been carried out until now, there are already some opportunities, why did Ming Jin withdraw his troops?
Yang Zaixing has been observing the attack and defense of the city wall, since the moment Bai Chong's soldiers and horses hit the city, he knew that the task had been completed, and the reason why he only stopped his troops until now was that he didn't want to arouse the suspicion of Jorkoren and others. In any case, the Dingguo army Mingjin withdrew its troops, which still made the Germanic people breathe a long sigh of relief. As soon as the Dingguo army left, the Germanic nobles and commanders found Jorkoren, they were really scared of the previous offensive and defensive battles, "Lord Jorkoren, you must find a way as soon as possible, the Easterners can be said to have spared no expense for the sake of Psk City, regardless of casualties, more than 2,000 people died in just a while, and they almost took the western city wall." If no one diverts the attention of the Kyiv garrison, with the strength of the Kyiv garrison, we can be consumed alive. ”
No one would be afraid of that kind of crazy attack, even Jorkoren was a little frightened. This time it can be prevented, if the Orientals send tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack the city on all sides, can it still be defended? Passive defense is always the stupidest method, and the best way now is to have a force of troops to contain the garrison of Kyiv. Thinking of this, Jorkoren wrote another letter in full view of everyone and continued to send it to the city of Mesoda.
Mesouda City, after Quilens received the first letter, he didn't have much reaction, he felt that Jorkoren was completely exaggerated, Psk City has thick walls, and there are so many soldiers and horses garrisoned, the Easterners are immortals, and they can shake Psk City. Querens's first reaction was to hold his ground, and he always had one thought in his heart, that is, to hold the city of Misuda steadily, as long as he did not move, there would be no flaws. But what he didn't expect was that soon the second letter was sent to the city of Da Mei Suda, and after reading the content of the second letter, Quilens had to take it seriously, and the Orientals actually hit the city. How long has it been since this time that they have already attacked the city, could it be that the Orientals have reached this level? Quilens didn't think that Jorkoren was lying, this red-robed bishop was a man of a haughty temperament, and in just two days, under heavy guards, he let the Orientals fight the city, what a shameful thing? If it hadn't actually happened, Jorkoren would not have made up such a reason to discredit his dignity and glory. Putting down the letter, Quilens rubbed his forehead and asked with some distress, "Hasn't the scout returned yet?" Hasn't there been any news from the direction of the Ryazan River yet? Hell, Jorkoren was anxious about the city's appearance. ”
One of the commanders sitting at the bottom shook his head gently, in fact, the news near the Ryazan River has not been broken, but Quirens needs the most detailed information near the Ryazan River, and it will take a little time. Not only the situation of the garrison, but also the specific number of people, which is not simple for scouts. It was close to evening, and the scouts finally returned, but there were more than a dozen people, only four of them came back, and all of them were wounded, and one of the scouts who was relatively good said intermittently, "Lord Quirens, there are nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses from the East in the Ryazan River, including 12,000 cavalry, except for the garrison of Kiev City, I am afraid that all the people in the second military camp are in the Ryazan River." ”
"Hiss" Quilens did not have the slightest doubt that the news that these people brought back with their lives could not be fake, no wonder the pressure on Psk City was so great, Jorkollen frequently asked for reinforcements, and dared to love that the garrison of Kiev City and the Second Army had all arrived at the Ryazan River. If this is the case, then isn't the city of Kyiv empty and hungry? At this moment, Quelens was a little moved, he was cautious by nature, known as "Commander Mouse", but cautious is cautious, once there is a great opportunity to appear, he will definitely not miss it. Perhaps what Yorkorn said is right, attacking the city of Kyiv at this time will not only reduce the pressure on the city of Psk, but also deal a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Kyiv base camp. As soon as he thought of it, Quillens quickly made arrangements, leaving more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to stay in the city of Mesouda, and the rest of the soldiers to accompany him to the city of Kyiv. Nearly 20,000 troops, taking advantage of the emptiness of troops near the city of Kyiv, will definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to the Kyiv base camp.
Quelens walked confidently on the road to attack the city of Kyiv, he was cautious in his life, and the only time he was moved by his heart allowed him to embark on the road of no return. Yang Zaixing's army was nailed to the Ryazan River without moving, and the Psk defenders of Jorkoren did not dare to move, but the news of Quirens sending troops to Kyiv City had been delivered, so Jorkollen was no longer as worried as before. Orientals, isn't it amazing, wait for the bad news of Kyiv to come, see who can bear it. Jorkoren was already imagining the scene of the army of the United States and the Soviet Union crossing the city of Kyiv, and the Orientals were really forced by the situation in Vilnius City, and actually did something like a dog jumping over the wall. However, it is understandable that the three fortified cities in the west of Kyiv, the city of Mesouda and the city of Psk, have fallen into the hands of the Germanic army, and if the only Vilnius city falls again, then the city of Kyiv will be bare and exposed to the attack of the Germanic warriors. Although the city of Kiev is good, it has the defect of slimming, that is, the city wall is broken, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it is destined to defend the city of Kiev, which is equivalent to adding a lot of constraints to yourself.
Jorkoren thought that Yang Zaixing didn't know what was happening in Meisuda City, but in fact, as soon as Quelens's side acted, Yang Zaixing's side began to prepare for the next move. The reason why he hasn't acted yet is that he doesn't want Quirens's troops to react, as long as he is close to the city of Kyiv within fifty miles, even if God appears at that time, don't try to save him. At this time, Bai Chong, Min Gui and others finally understood why Yang Zaixing must insist on hitting Psk City at any cost, everything was to create pressure on Psk City, and then make Quirence make a wrong judgment. It is conceivable that the so-called offensive and defensive battles of Vilnius and Pske are all under the guise of a front, whether the First Army galloped to the aid of Foyanling, or the Second Army stationed on the Ryazan River, all in order to lure the army of the United States and the Soviet Union to attack the city of Kiev.
