Chapter 476: Siege of the city
"General, there are people in the city who want to see you."
Suddenly, a soldier ran up at a brisk pace.
Commoners?
"Ordinary people? If you have something to find Shuntianfu, this is the battlefield, what are you doing here? Huang Quan said.
The soldier said, "I don't know, they say they have something important to see." ”
Miansheng became the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Take me there, these things have to be dealt with anyway." ”
The battle under the city was about to start again, Miansheng and Huang Quan talked a few words, and after that, Miansheng quickly followed the soldiers down the city.
When they came to the city, under the door knelt hundreds of ordinary people, old and young, men and women, and when they saw Miansheng coming, they all knelt down.
"My lord, I've seen my lord."
"What's the matter with you?"
Miansheng waved his hand.
An old man suddenly stood up: "My lord, I heard that the enemy army is rampant, and there are not many soldiers in the city, we also want to make a modest effort to serve the emperor." ”
"That's what we mean, we want to go to the city to resist the enemy."
"My lord, let's go."
........
Miansheng was slightly shocked, this kind of thing is rare, I didn't expect the people to take the initiative to ask to defend the city, this is a danger to their lives, many people are afraid to avoid it, but these people are scrambling to come, which shows their loyalty to the royal family.
"Is that what you all mean?"
Miansheng asked.
"Yes, I hope your Excellency will do it."
.....
The sound of response rang out.
Miansheng nodded, so good, if they are helpless, these people can resist for a while, and they will not be helpless when they get it, whether they can hold the imperial capital. Since it is to defend the city, of course, the more troops, the better.
"Okay, you'll all go for now. See if there are still those who want to join, and let them sign up in Suncheonfu. Anyone who comes, the family can get a reward from the household. ”
Miansheng waved his hand, and the people retreated happily.
Next, Miansheng went to the military plane, he told Jia Hui all about it, Jia Hui was also happy to hear it, now it is difficult to defend the city, and Sun Yu's reinforcements have not yet arrived. If you want to defend the imperial capital, recruiting troops is the best way.
"Okay, I immediately issued a recruitment notice, if you are willing to join, you can go to Shuntianfu to sign up, and then send it to the north school field for training, all the best equipment, if there are not enough soldiers to defend the city, let them be on top, but you have to remember. This recruit is no better than an elite soldier, so be sure to use it with caution. Don't go wrong. ”
Miansheng said: "I should know, please rest assured. ”
..............
Gao Quan finally arrived, Cai Wenzhuo had not captured the imperial capital, and then, Cai Wenzhuo sighed, withdrew all the soldiers, and then retreated to the rear to recuperate, his idea is very good, from now on. He will not use a single trace of troops, and will leave it all to the high authority to attack the city. I don't have to say anything about high power.
As soon as the high power came, there was an army of millions outside the imperial capital. After some discussion, the way of arranging the formation was immediately changed, the emperor had four walls, 100,000 were stationed on the side of the high power, 150,000 in the south of the main attack, and Cai Wenzhuo's soldiers and horses were stationed in the west to prevent the imminent arrival of Sun Yu's army.
Gao Quan finally compromised, and under Cai Wenzhuo's reasoning, he had to lead his troops to attack the city, and in order to save time, this time the four city walls were attacked together, so that the troops in the imperial capital could be consumed faster.
I have to say that Gao Quan's idea is good, and attacking the four walls together is indeed much easier.
"Early tomorrow morning, use all the secret weapons we brought, and strive to capture the imperial capital in one fell swoop."
In the big tent of the high-powered Chinese army, high-powered looked at the generals and said.
"Prime Minister, the imperial capital city is more than four zhang high, and our trebuchets are afraid that they can't be thrown up."
One of the generals worried.
The general is not bad, the height of the city wall is already infinitely high, and if you want to attack with a trebuchet, unless the trebuchet has been improved, this kind of city wall is no longer a trebuchet, even if you throw a relatively light secret weapon, I am afraid it will not succeed.
Gao Quan thought for a while: "Then you can put the trebuchet closer, until you reach it, only the secret weapon can compete with the enemy army!" ”
"Yes."
..........
Early the next morning.
Huang Quan himself guarded the south gate, all the soldiers and horses of Shuntianfu fell up, and even the Yulin army was transferred to 5,000, mainly because the enemy besieged the city on all sides, and there was no way, so he had to act cautiously.
Huang Quan was stationed in the south, and as for the east, west, and north, he was the most effective general in the army, and Mian Sheng was busy training new soldiers and had no time to come to the battlefield outside the city.
"The enemy's attacks are getting more and more ferocious, and I don't know if I can hold it."
Murong Yuan also came to the city wall, looked at Huang Quan and said slowly.
Huang Quan said: "If this continues, we can hold it for three days at most, if the reinforcements do not arrive after three days, we will be in danger of losing the city." ”
Murong Yuan nodded, he also knew the current situation, since Gao Quan came, he changed his previous style, and even surrounded the four city walls together, the speed of this loss of troops was four times that of the previous one, which was really worrying.
"Let's hope the recruits will come in handy." Huang Quan sighed.
Murong Yuan said: "Never pin your hopes on the recruits, those recruits have only been trained for a few days, and it is a blessing not to escape, how can they withstand the high-ranking soldiers and horses." ”
Huang Quan also feels the same way.
At this time, the high-ranking soldiers and horses under the city had completely opened their formation, and the trebuchet slowly pushed out, and next to each trebuchet, there was a large cart of secret weapons, which was a powerful weapon researched and manufactured by Hu Guo.
"This Hu country is more difficult to deal with than the Ming country."
Murong Yuan said.
Huang Quan looked at the soldiers around him: "Wait for the enemy's trebuchet to start, you all have to pay attention to concealment, and don't make unnecessary sacrifices." ”
"No."
The soldiers nodded.
.......
Under the city, Gao Quan waved his hand and said: "Let's start attacking the city, the generals must take the lead and move forward bravely, if they capture the imperial capital, everyone will be rewarded." ”
"The first soldier to climb the city, this is a reward!"
Daughter! It is equivalent to the lifetime consumption of ordinary poor people, and they can buy several magnificent mansions, not to mention these soldiers, even those big families will be tempted when they hear it.
At this moment, as soon as Gao Quan said this, all the soldiers were excited and excited, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, shouting to attack the city, grinding their fists and shaking their palms and eager to try.
Seeing such morale, Gao Quan nodded with satisfaction.
"Alright, let's start the siege."
The herald kept waving the command flag in his hand, and then the three phalanxes charged forward, and at the same time, flying bridges, pontoon bridges, ladders, siege towers and other equipment went hand in hand, and as for the catapults, they were slowly advancing backwards, testing the attack distance.
