Chapter 1197: Hu Zhao's Worries

The sound of war drums once again resounded over the valley, and the earth trembled slightly with the pace of the Wei army, and the Wei army slowly approached the fortress of the Jin people like a wave. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Wei army rushed to the fortress of the Jin people and attacked the city wall in one go.

Soon, the Jin people's city wall defense line was in danger.

The Jinguo death squad, which appeared yesterday, has reappeared.

The Wei archers immediately fired at them, and the crossbowmen who were in charge of supporting them under the city walls also shot at these Jin death squads. The arrows whizzed away, and one by one the death squad soldiers were shot to the ground. However, there were still death squads that slipped through the net and rushed into the middle of the Wei army, followed by flames.

The scene looked very tragic.

The death squads of the Jin people were quickly exhausted, and at this time, the offensive of the Wei army was not only not contained, but became more violent, the Jin people's city defense troops were beaten back and forth, and the Jin defenders desperately threw fire oil, giant trees and other things under the city wall, roaring one after another, and the flames continued to rise under the city wall, but because the Wei army had already put the Jin army's move, the Wei army did not pay a great price for this.

The battle lasted about an hour, and nearly half of the entire city wall had fallen under the control of the Wei army.

"General, we, we can't hold it!" An officer covered in blood stumbled up to Kronch.

Krench looked up at his own soldiers who were being suppressed by the Wei army and frowned.

"General, if you don't withdraw, it'll be too late!" The officer said urgently.

Krench's eyes froze, he pulled out his waist knife, and resolutely shouted: "Pass the order, if anyone dares to take a step back, military law will deal with it!" Yuluo, he actually led the guards to join the battle group.

Kronch's bravery boosted the morale of the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom.

The Jin army was able to withstand the offensive of the Wei army.

At the same time, the Wei army's rushing carts were pushed under the city walls and began to storm the city gates.

The battle on the walls continued. At this time, the city wall was already lying with corpses and blood flowing like streams, the corpses of soldiers on both sides were overlapping layer by layer, blood flowing down the cracks in the bricks, and the air was full of gunsmoke mixed with the smell of bloody choking.

The Jin people finally could not resist the onslaught of the Wei army, and the defensive front collapsed. The Wei army swept the Jin army to pieces like a torrent of collapsing embankments.

The Jin army's will to fight completely collapsed, and they abandoned their armor and fled in a hurry.

Krench shouted at the top of his lungs as he grabbed a deserter passing by, and the soldier looked terrified.

"Don't go back!!" Krench yelled at him.

The soldier jerked open Krench's arm, turned and fled.

Krench's eyes froze, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he violently swung his knife and slashed the soldier in front of him who wanted to escape to the ground, shouting: "If anyone retreats, this is an example!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp arrow whistled down the rushing crowd and instantly sank into Krench's chest.

Krench glanced down at the arrow in his chest and reached for it, when a deserter slammed into him, and Krench fell with a thud, followed by countless pairs of escaping feet stomping over him.

The Wei army captured the city walls. At the same time, five thousand horsemen rushed in from the gates.

The Wei army rushed towards the north gate with a rout.

The Jin army fled to the north gate, because the city gate was not very wide, and there were too many Jin soldiers who wanted to escape from here, and more than 10,000 panicked Jin soldiers were stuck here.

The soldiers of the Jin Kingdom shouted and cursed, and everyone squeezed desperately out of the city.

Moments later, the Wei cavalry arrived and shot the helpless Jin army with bows and arrows.

The soldiers of the Jin Kingdom kept falling in pools of blood, and the scene was very bleak.

When the remnants of the Jin Kingdom defeated soldiers knelt on the ground and begged to surrender, the corpses of more than a thousand Jin people were lying densely under the city gate.

Subsequently, Xiahou Yuan, Hu Zhao and other Wei generals entered the fortress under the protection of the army.

The congregation will come to the lobby of the fortress.

Xiahou Yuan sat down on the top, Hu Zhao stood on one side, and the generals were divided left and right.

Xiahou Yuan laughed and said, "Our army is doing a good job!" It took only two days to capture the fortress! ”

The crowd looked very excited.

But Hu Zhao said: "But in order to capture this fortress, the casualties of our army are not small!" ”

Xiahou Yuan frowned and nodded, and said angrily: "Kong Ming, you are not good at this!" Always pour cold water on people's heads! After a pause, he asked with concern: "What is the specific situation of our army's losses?" ”

Hu Zhao replied: "In two days, the number of dead and wounded was nearly 10,000, including more than 4,000 killed! The vast majority of them died today! Of the more than 4,000 people killed, about 1,500 were officers and soldiers of the First Legion, and the rest were the Xianbei Army and the Sabbath Army! ”

Xiahou Yuan nodded and instructed Zhang Zu: "Deal with the casualties in accordance with the rules set by Your Majesty!" ”

"No!" Zhang Zu clenched his fists and promised.

"By the way, Kong Ming, how many enemy troops have been annihilated by us?" Xiahou Yuan asked excitedly.

Hu Zhao smiled and said: "The enemy army was killed by our army more than 12,000 people, and nearly 30,000 people were captured!" ”

Xiahou Yuan's eyes lit up, "More than 40,000 people? ”

Hu Zhao nodded.

Xiahou Yuan laughed and said, "I can't imagine that just capturing an avant-garde fortress will annihilate more than 40,000 enemy troops!" This battle can be drawn, it is too drawn! ”

Hu Zhao said with a smile: "This avant-garde fortress is very important to the core fortress of Khorezm, so it is not surprising that the people of the Jin Kingdom do not know the heavy troops here!" ”

After a pause, "Miaocai, I think it's time for us to discuss the next step!" ”

"Not bad! Kong Ming, what do you think we should do now? Attack Khorezm Fortress immediately? ”

Hu Zhao analyzed: "Huang Xuan is a prestigious general of the Jin Kingdom, and it is almost impossible to raid the fortress he guards!" So there is no need for us to rush to attack the fortress of Khorezm! The satellite fortresses around the fortress should be swept away first, and at the same time, the reinforcements from the fortress of Khorezm and the troops withdrawn from the fortress should be intercepted with cavalry! When all of this is done, storm the fortress of Khorezm! ”

Xiahou Yuan touched the beard on his chin, nodded and said, "Not bad!" That's a good idea! Just do what you say! By the way, you're not going to forget about Cao Ren and them, are you? ”

Hu Zhao smiled: "Of course not!" We should immediately inform General Huang of the situation here! As long as they can succeed! The fortress of Khorezm is self-defeating! ”

Xiahou Yuan smacked his lips, "It's good!" It's too boring to take the Khorezm fortress without fighting! ”

Hu Zhao shook his head with a smile.

Xiahou Yuan's expression was straight, and he raised his voice and ordered: "The left and right battalions of the First Army will attack the left and right fortresses respectively, the rear battalion will attack the left peak fortress of Khorezm Fortress, and the middle army camp will attack the right peak fortress of Khorezm Fortress!" The right battalion and the middle camp of the Xianbei army swept the support fortress on the left side of Khorezm Mountain, and the front battalion, left battalion, and middle camp of the rest army swept the right side of Khorezm Mountain to support the fortress! ”

"No!" The generals agreed in unison.

Xiahou Yuan turned his head and asked Hu Zhaodao, "Kong Ming, do you have anything to say?" ”

Hu Zhao took a step forward and raised his voice: "Generals, you can persuade you to surrender first and then attack!" ”

"No!" The people will make a promise together.

Hu Zhao said again: "The rear battalion and the middle battalion of the First Army don't need to attack the left and right peak fortresses, they only need to control the passage of reinforcements on their outside!" This fortress is located on the high peaks on the left and right sides of the Khorezm fortress, and it is extremely difficult to attack, so if you can, don't attack it! Of course, you can send someone to persuade you to surrender! ”

"No!" The general of the rear battalion of the First Army Corps and the general of the middle military battalion made a promise.

Hu Zhao arched his hand towards Xiahou Yuan, "Miaocai, everything I want to say is finished!" ”

Xiahou Yuan nodded, blew his beard at the generals and said, "Have you all remembered the words of the military advisor?" ”

"Remember!" The generals said in unison.

"Excellent! Let's all go down! ”

"No!" The generals answered the promise and rushed out of the lobby.

No sooner had the generals retired than a herald rushed in.

"General, strategist, we found Krench's body!" The herald reported.

"Corpses? He's dead? ”

The herald nodded.

"Where?" Xiahou Yuan asked.

"We've brought him here! It's right outside! The herald replied.

Xiahou Yuan and Hu Zhao hurried out of the lobby, only to see a mangled corpse lying at the foot of the steps, and several soldiers standing around the corpse.

Xiahou Yuan and Hu Zhao came to the corpse and took a look, Xiahou Yuan frowned and asked, "How did you do this?" ”

One soldier immediately replied, "When we found him, that's it!" Looking at the scene at that time, it should have been trampled like this! ”

Hu Zhao said with emotion: "Krench is also a famous general, I can't imagine that he will die like this!" ”

Turning his head to Xiahou Yuan, he said, "Miaocai, we should bury him well!" ”

Xiahou Yuan nodded, "Although this guy is not good at martial arts, his bones are also very hard!" I admire him! Come on, bury him alive, and then return it to the Jin country! ”

"No!" The soldier clenched his fists in response, and then beckoned his companions to carry Krench's body down.

The two returned to the lobby.

Hu Zhao showed a look of thought and worry.

Xiahou Yuan asked, "Kong Ming, what are you thinking again?" ”

Hu Zhao rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Miaocai, when I listen to you, why do you seem to be doing something bad?" ”

Xiahou Yuan picked at his head and said suspiciously: "Is there one?" ”

raised his eyebrows angrily, "You literati, you just have a lot of thoughts!" ”

Hu Zhao looked defeated, "Gotta get it, count me wrong!" ”

After a pause, he said with a worried face: "I'm thinking about the war on Your Majesty's side!" ”

"The war on Your Majesty's side? So what's there to think about! The vast majority of the five or six hundred thousand troops under the command of the eldest brother are the lion iron army of our Great Wei Empire, and the war must be very smooth! Xiahou Yuan had a natural expression.

Hu Zhao shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not that simple!" The total strength of the Jin people in the Durent Fortress reached nearly a million! Although our army is strong, after all, the number of people is only half of the enemy's army! And the main general of the Jin people is to take off and not to spend, this person is not only very resourceful, but also very familiar with the situation of our army! If one of them doesn't pay attention, our army is only afraid that there will be a trend that will turn into a countertrend! ”

"Whew! I said Kong Ming, can't you say something auspicious? Xiahou Yuan said with a displeased face. (To be continued.) )
