Chapter 477
The reason why Zhao Xun used these three cavalry was to let them form the habit of master and slave. This time there was a big victory over the Mur Wei, and the ministries should have received the news that the South Murro Wei Department had surrendered. This made Zhao Xun also think of the idea of using the soldiers of each department to fight for himself, which could not only reduce his own losses, but also weaken the existing strength of each department.
The second is to use the cavalry of these three divisions to supplement the lack of their own troops. It's not that it's really insufficient, but that the forces in many places can't be used lightly. Like the Eastern Three Prefectures, the Xiaoguo Army and the Three Prefectures were stationed there in order to deter the three northern tribes and Silla. The Shunzhou Mansion is to form a regular rotation with the five prefectures of Beiding and support it at any time. When the five prefectures of Beiding are completely stabilized, they can be lightly transferred.
Third, the cavalry is stronger than the infantry in terms of marching speed and lethality. 30,000 cavalry is better than 50,000 infantry. Especially against the Yan army, which has few cavalry, the effect is even more.
"Daddy!" One into the backyard. A few children pounced, and Zhao Xun hurriedly picked up the two little guys.
The two sons are now four years old, and in terms of virtual age, they are also six years old. has begun to read with Li Huaiyuan and Yu Jing. The reason why Professor Li Huaiyuan was allowed was that Zhao Xun didn't want his sons to be all the same.
"What is this? What a big! "Obviously, this new pet is quite attractive to children.
"Wait!" "Don't touch it!" The girls who followed the children immediately shouted urgently.
Zhao Xun naturally looked at what his son wanted to do, and hurriedly took care of it on the side. The little lion seems to know that this little guy has a close relationship with his master, and he is allowed to wreak havoc on his body with a pair of small hands. The second Zhao Heng saw that his brother was having fun, and he hurriedly writhed.
"Good, good! Don't mess with it, got it? Otherwise, I won't let you play with it in the future. Looking at the little guy who didn't have the image of a tiger, Zhao Xun couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
"Tiger?" Su Ziyan hugged her two-year-old and four-year-old daughter and asked.
"Tiger!" Zhao Xun nodded and said, and then hugged his daughter Zhao Han, who stretched out her hand to him.
"My God, husband, you actually let Rui'er and Heng'er play with the tiger!" The girls exclaimed in unison.
"It's okay, don't you see how well-behaved this tiger is. Be careful in the future, don't let them be alone with the tiger, just enclose him a place in the yard. By the way, why don't you see Xinyan? ”
"Xinyan is about to give birth, that is, the things of the past few days, now I have been walking around for a while, and now I go to sleep." Xu Qin explained with a smile.
"Fortunately, this time I was able to stay and watch my own child be born. Well, I'll go see Xinyan and my mother first, and then everyone eats together, starving me to death! Zhao Xun said with a smile. In his own home, Zhao Xun seemed extraordinarily peaceful, just like in his previous life, everyone ate together, peaceful and peaceful.
…………
Huang County, this is the fourth siege and the second official siege. This time, Tang Xian and Shen Yuanhe gathered a total of 55,000 guards and government troops in Donglai Mansion to gather in Huangxian County and vowed to break through the city.
This offensive was even better than the last one, and it was directly the beginning of the elite of the guards, followed by the government army and less than 4,000 young men and people, desperately building a ladder to the city wall.
However, what made Tang Xian and Shen Yuanhe's faces turn black again was the earth-shattering thunder thrown out of the city.
There was a loud bang, which directly caused a large number of elite guards scattered under the city to be scattered. This earth-shattering thunder is not like an arrow, you can spread out, hold a shield, and you can prevent it. A sky-shattering thunderbolt is enough to cause a blank space of several zhang square, and the marbles inside can directly fly nearly ten zhang. The distance is far, fortunately, the distance is close, and it penetrates the shield directly. You can't wear a shield, but if you put a series of punches on your legs and hands, no one can stand it.
If you want to attack the city and go up the ladder, you must get close, and if you get close, you will be bombarded by thunder. For this kind of weapon that directly shattered people and bled from the seven orifices, these iron-beaten soldiers also began to turn pale and retreated.
When the guards arrived, they got a rushing car and a crashing car, but they were all scrapped by the large-scale earth-shaking thunder, which made Tang Xian and the others itch their teeth, but they were helpless, as long as they went to the troops.
As the elite of the forward guards retreated, the high morale weakened again, and even some of the young and strong army were retreating.
Seeing this, Tang Xian personally led a team of nearly 100 governors to catch up, and slashed dozens of retreating young and strong people and government troops in a row, only to force the retreating team to stop retreating and continue to disperse and advance. But this time, it was clearly not as brave as it was at the beginning.
"General, it can't go on like this, the loss of the earth-shattering thunder will be very fast, and it will not bring the greatest casualties. Let's use the archers to suppress it, and where there is a problem, throw it wherever it is! The officer of the Shenji Battalion looked at the results of the battle under the city, frowned and said.
"Okay, you can do this earth-shattering thunder!" Li Lingfeng also knew that once this thing was used too quickly, it would be gone.
"Archer, give me free to shoot, and shoot when you see it! Sword and shield soldiers, protect the front, and do not let the enemy climb up. Axeman, cut the hook of this ladder for me! Li Lingfeng said sharply.
"Get me ready with oil!"
"Rolling wood, rocks, get me all up! Let the young men of logistics act! ”
The soldiers, who had been forcibly driven back by the Warlords, began to attack again. On the city, rolling oil, rolling wood, stones, and all kinds of tools to defend the city kept smashing down against themselves on the ladder. The archers kept shooting arrows in their hands, and knowing that they were too exhausted to draw their bows anymore, they rested for a while and continued to draw their bows and shoot arrows.
Countless guards were always about to climb the top of the city when they were smashed down by the endless defense equipment.
"They don't have the earth-shattering thunder! Kill me! Some of the soldiers saw that there was no more earth-shattering thunder in the city, and they immediately shouted loudly.
"Haha, they've run out of earth-shattering thunder, brothers, let me go into the city and indulge for three days!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "The roar of the city shook the sky.
"None? Hum! This time, let me give you a taste of the power of the earth-shaking thunder! The officer of the Shenji Battalion looked at the guards and soldiers who were crowded together, and sneered secretly.
"Divine Machine Battalion, Heaven-shattering Thunder!"
Because they were under the city, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion didn't need to use trebuchets at all, and threw them directly with their hands, and in an instant, more than 100 packages flew out of the city wall.
"They still have?"
"Fooled! Disperse! ”
The soldiers under the city saw the package falling from the sky, and their scalps suddenly went numb, for this thing, they really had no way to defend against it, and the siege soldiers who were originally high-spirited scattered in an instant.
Thundered! The heavens shook the earth, and the black clouds soared into the sky. Suddenly, there was silence outside the entire city wall. The tendency to siege the city, deterred by the earth-shattering thunder, stopped.
One hundred earth-shattering thunders killed more than 3,000 people, which can already be said to be a good result. If it weren't for being fooled into saying that the sky-shaking thunder in the city had run out, the enemy army outside the city would have been denser, I'm afraid it would have been really difficult for these sky-shaking thunders to achieve this goal.
"Order, withdraw the troops!" Tang Xian and Shen Yuanhe looked at the situation under Huangxian County, their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot, and they had to order the withdrawal of the army.
The commander's tent of the Guard battalion.
"Old Shen, the two of us have been fighting side by side for five or six years!" Tang Xian said with a tired face.
"Yes! It's been five or six years! We relied on our own skills to get to this position. Speaking of this, Shen Yuanhe was still a little annoyed. Because they and others sought the defeat of the Qingzhou Water Army, some people began to jump their feet.
"It's going to be planted this time! The name of the British is ruined! Sitting weakly in the chair, Tang Xian said astringently. He is still a little confused, that day, why did he really ignore Shen Yuanhe's opposition and send troops to raid the Xiaoguo army? Now it seems that it is more appropriate to storm the Qingzhou Mansion Army, not only the Qingzhou Mansion Army fell in a battle, but also the Xiaoguo Army did not dare to do anything to themselves.
"General! People from Luoyang! ”
"Let him in!"
"General Tang, General Shen! I am His Royal Highness the King of Qi, Qin Hao, the envoy of the Inner Palace! The person who came saluted the two people sitting in the handsome tent, introduced himself lightly, and then showed his identity token.
"What does His Royal Highness King Qi command?" Tang Xian asked slowly. Seeing that a small envoy of the Inner Mansion was so arrogant, he knew that the King of Qi was dissatisfied with this matter and dissatisfied with them.
Qin Hao said lightly: "Command? The two generals can make their own decisions, how dare the prince have any orders! The prince said, since the two generals want to compete with the Xiaoguo army, let's take a good look at it, and let the Xiaoguo army see the majesty of the two generals and the majesty of the guards! ”
"By the way, after the fleet of the sailors transporting supplies arrives this time, they will bring back 15,000 people to Yangzhou to defend against the Xuzhou rebels. Because the two generals privately took away three-fifths of the guards who threatened the Xuzhou rebels, and now that the Xuzhou rebels are active, the prince must do a good job of precaution. As he spoke, he handed over a warrant.
Tang Xian took the warrant with a gloomy face, and didn't look at it, but asked slowly: "So, there are less than 40,000 guards here who want to fight the Xiaoguo Army?" ”
Qin Hao said coldly: "This is the general's business, as for me, I have to go to Lingzhou Mansion to wait for the arrival of the Yangzhou sea ship and convey the military order." I can't stay longer! ”
"Poof......
"You...... You dare to ......" Qin Hao looked at the long sword on his chest and exclaimed.
"Come on, drag this guy who is pretending to be an angel of the court out for me, and kill the accompanying personnel on the spot!" Tang Xian shouted.
After the guards dragged the corpse away, Shen Yuanhe, who was on the side, asked in surprise: "Old Tang, who are you?" ”
"What is it? Use it when you need us, and throw it away when you don't need it! I have nothing to say about abandoning us, and if I am wrong, I should be responsible. But what about the nearly 40,000 soldiers? After transporting supplies, bring back 15,000 people to garrison Yangzhou? What will happen to my supplies in the future? What about grain and grass? Without warships cruising in the southeast of Lingzhou Mansion, we will be attacked by the flanks of the Qingzhou Navy Army! Kill him, one battle! Take Donglai Mansion, some are not a problem. Tang Xian said coldly.
"Or, make peace with the Xiaoguo Army and change to Qingzhou?"
"Peace talks? Do you think that we have fought to this point, is there a possibility of peace talks? Seriously, it was really necessary to attack Qingzhou in the first place, not to provoke the Xiaoguo army. The current governor of Qingzhou has become the primary target of some people. However, it is too late to say anything now, only if the Xiaoguo army is expelled from Donglai Province, then Qingzhou will not be a problem. ”
