The Fierce Battle of the Seven New Cities (1)

82_82382 After Shen Buxian finished speaking, he gave the new new city coach a long salute in front of everyone. Moved by this coach, tearful chest beating promise! The soldiers and city residents who were moved to stay were indignant and swore in unison: swear to fight to the death with the Wei army!

At this time, Shen Buxian took his convoy and left the new city in Shenshi, and went to the Yuyuan Pass, which is one hundred and eighty miles to the west, to arrange the defense of the Yiyang Gate. As soon as Shen Buxian left the new city, less than five miles, he saw the billowing smoke and dust behind him and the rolling Wei army flag. Shen Buxian knows: Wei Jun is really fast! From the dawn of the day, to the current Shen time, only five hours, the Wei army entered the Han border for sixty miles, besieging the new city. It seems that the Han army in Huayang, Zhengyi, and Guanyi is all finished, and the nearly 100-mile border has also fallen into the hands of the Wei army. Yuyuan Pass will be an important pass for South Korea to resist the Wei army.

The Wei army fought from Mao to Shen, and the people were sleepy and lacking. Pang Juan saw that he had advanced sixty miles in six hours, and surrounded the new city again. And the main force of the Wei army, even if it escapes, it can't escape one-tenth. He looked at the city defense of the new city, and he looked very prepared, so he decided not to attack the city today, and let the tired army camp and rest.

Shen Buxian's 100,000 horses retreated 60 miles in just one day, and only more than 30,000 people fled into Xincheng. If it weren't for the night, more than 30,000 defeated soldiers and 10,000 original garrisons in Xincheng would have been eaten by Pang Juan.

On the second day, when the Han army, which had recovered overnight, confronted the Wei army again, it would not be the vulnerable army of yesterday.

Yesterday's Korean army: first, the exhausted division that retreated overnight, and second, it was suddenly attacked by Wei and was not psychologically prepared. Although the strength of the Han army was worse than that of the Wei army, after several years of rectification by Shen Buxian, although it was not as good as the Qin army, it was also on par with the Wei army.

Today, although the Han army is 40,000 against 100,000 Wei troops, the Han army relies on the defense of the new city, and now it is known that the Wei army is here to rob their family business, and they are desperately fighting the enemy in order to protect their families, cities, and countries.

The new city is located on the north bank of the river. The Wei army could only siege the city on three sides: west, north, and east. After Pang Juan carefully observed the topography of the new city, he called Zhao Meng, the commander of the Zhao army. He pointed to Weishui and said, "This battle of Xincheng is in charge of your Zhao army." But you can't attack blindly. You look at the jumping water, when the water is officially rising, and this new city is a city wall built with earth walls. I believe that whoever soaks him for three or five days will collapse the wall. When the time comes, you are on the attack. You besieged the city with 30,000 people, and did not allow the Korean army and the Han people to run out of a single person, and used bows and arrows to shoot at the city wall every day to defeat the morale of the Korean army. The remaining 30,000 people dug a ditch in the upper reaches of the city, and led the water directly to me under the city wall of the west city, and then used the water to wash the west city wall for me day and night. I want to dig a ditch for a day, and then I will rush for another three days, and the wall will fall. I'll give you five days to take the new city. What do you think? ”

Zhao Meng looked at the terrain and felt that Pang Juan's words were very reasonable. Besides, in yesterday's battle, the Zhao army made the mistake of vertically letting 100,000 Korean troops run away under their noses? Not only did he lose face with Zhao Jun, but it was also difficult to go back and explain to Zhao Hou. If you don't atone for your own crimes, it's really hard to explain. After Zhao Meng thought it through, he promised Pang Juan: "Within five days, it will be completed." General Pang! After those five days, was it carried out as originally planned? ”

After hearing this, Pang Juan smiled with satisfaction and returned: "Yes." I'm going to take the Wei army now and go after the Tsukasa of the Han army. I hope to see you in twenty days! After Pang Juan finished explaining, he took 60,000 Wei troops and marched to Yuyuan Pass.

Pang Juan left, and Zhao Meng got busy. He asked the deputy general to lead 30,000 infantry troops to dig a ditch, and he took 30,000 main forces to surround the three walls of the new city, and then fired arrows at the city walls, which were only five people high. When he saw that after a burst of fire, a piece of Korean troops fell on the city wall, and he thought to himself: Do I need to dig such a ditch for this earthen wall made by three zhangs? Anyway, I have a long ladder and a high platform for attacking the city, and the terrain here is conducive to the promotion of high vehicles, why not try to attack the city directly, shorten the day is a day, and let the Wei army also see the strength of our Zhao army. Thinking of this, he called the military officials to hold a meeting, and said that the Wei army despised the Zhao army, and only after provoking the Zhao army's feelings did he put forward the idea of directly attacking the city. This idea has been put forward and immediately won the support of all the division commanders and army commanders.

Zhao Jun said that he would do it, and immediately set up 25 special high platforms for siege on 50 leather carts on the spot, and also selected 5,000 brave warriors who carried high carts. At noon, braving the poisonous day of Ji Summer, regardless of the scorching heat, he began a direct attack on Xincheng, completely throwing Pang Juan's plan aside.

In the battle of Xincheng between the Han and Wei armies, they were killed and wounded heavily as soon as the battle began. The high trolley of the Wei army is a wooden platform with two leather carts as the base and a height of three zhang and five on it. On this wooden platform, thick planks are used as guardrails. There are arrow holes in the guardrail, on which five people can shoot arrows at the city wall to protect the fifteen wrestlers who are pushing the cart under it. Twenty-five of these trolleys lined up in a row, slowly approaching the city wall from a distance of fifty paces from the city wall, and when they were thirty paces away from the city wall, they condescendingly shot arrows at the Korean troops on the unobstructed city wall. Twenty-five cars are one hundred and twenty-five people, and when they are lined up, they are less than three hundred meters wide. At a distance of 300 meters wide, these 100 arrows shot by more than 100 people in turn, which can be regarded as a rain of arrows. Moreover, this rain of arrows shot at the Han army, but the Han army had no ability to attack the Zhao army, and it was regarded as watching the beating. Not to mention being beaten, you can't run yet, you ran away, just so that Zhao Jun took the opportunity to come to the city. Zhao Junyi directly used a wooden ladder to build a wooden trolley to the city wall, and the sergeant followed the trolley, climbed the ladder, and then walked from the trolley to the city wall; Instead, he covered Zhao Jun to carry a wooden ladder to the city wall, directly set up a ladder to lean on the city wall, and then climbed the city wall along the ladder; Either way, it shows that the walls have been lost; Therefore, the Han army stared at it all of a sudden, so it had to hold on to shoot at the Zhao army, and a large number of Han troops and Minzhuang fell on the city wall.

The South Korean army was also brave and came up with the idea of launching rockets. Countless rockets popped onto the wooden platform, and for a moment smoke billowed from the high platform. Unfortunately, the fire could not burn down the trolley for a while, which allowed the trolley to finally approach the city wall. The cart smoked and burned with flames, and as soon as it approached the city wall like a monster, it immediately put a wooden ladder on the wall. The Zhao army dared to die under the cart, who had already followed the high trolley, and climbed the city wall along the wooden ladder
