Verse 39 saw the Jingguan
"Boy, since you came to Liaodong, you seem to have changed as a person, where did that happy, kind, and steady Yun Ye go? How did he become such a vicious, narrow-minded, selfish, and unforgiving person? Tongueless glanced at the black tooth chief who was carried away, and asked with some emotion.
"I don't want to change, but with more than 10,000 lives on my back, if I don't change, what will happen to these soldiers? In general, this world is a world where good people suffer and evil people are popular, I don't want my subordinates to fall into a crisis, so I have to pass on the crisis to others, old man, I'm not a kind person, never be, you can't get used to it, I can't help it, everything is done by me, let others comment on it. ”
Tongueless smiled and said: "I don't mean to accuse you, on the contrary, I am very pleased with this change in you, this is what a master will look like, we may be merciful when we are peaceful, but it is by no means now, speaking of what the old man did before, hehe, boy, you can't dream of it, I jumped out of that circle, so what you see is the old lady's sexual side, the evil things that he did before, the old man has never regretted it, boy, don't regret the decision made by the manly husband, Whether it is righteous or evil, this is the right choice for you at that time. ”
Watching Tongueless take the lock of his white hair from that long arrow, carefully tie it into a knot, and put it in a small box, Yun Ye had never been so eager to return to Chang'an as soon as possible.
Yun Ye was impatient, but Liu Fang was not impatient, the whole army adhered to the original pace like a sophisticated machine, the dog, the single eagle, and the man and bear were all scattered as exploration horses, and the large group of men and horses and the raft that sailed the Liao River took care of each other and went upstream, and Liu Ren was willing to exhaust what he had learned in his life. Using the wind that can be used by a qiē, it can finally keep up with the army, and the water army cannot afford to lose, once there is no water army, the material replenishment of the brigade will become a problem.
The strong crossbow and the eight-ox crossbow are indeed good weapons to defeat the enemy, but the cost is also staggering. He hadn't fought the most powerful enemy yet, and his supplies had already been depleted, and although he had recovered all the crossbow arrows he had fired, he didn't have much time to rest.
Marching thirty miles a day, this is a decision made by Liu Fang, he would rather face a large group of Goryeo elites in the wilderness than conduct siege operations, Yun Ye's plan he knows, but he seems to ignore it completely. is still stubbornly advancing according to the usual set of marching and fighting.
Since he handed over the command to Liu Fang, Yun Ye knew that he could no longer overstep his responsibilities and have no other orders in the army, otherwise he would send the soldiers to hell completely.
When the army marched to Anyangling, Liu Fang, after repelling a large group of harassing Goryeos, set up a strong camp and ordered all weapons to be assembled.
Anyang Ridge is the attack base of Yun Ye's army, and at the foot of the mountain is the vast water. The camp of the navy army was also built in Shanwan, and Liu Fang established a total of seven small villages that could be defended. If the Goryeo people wanted to break through the main village, they needed to pull out the seven small plum blossom-shaped camps first, and all the baggage carried by the navy army was transferred to the big village.
The first light rain in early spring still fell on this land, and I didn't feel much beautiful artistic conception, like a light rain like smoke and fog wrapped in a chill sticking to my body, cold into the bone marrow. The light rain only fell for a while, and then it turned into goose feather snow, and the warm land roasted by the sun quickly turned them into snow water, which added a bit of difficulty to Yun Ye's plan.
The Great Kings are just as far as the eye can see. It is the first fortified city in Liaodong, 8,000 Goryeo elites guard this city, the surrounding villages are as silent as death, they have long been prepared to clear the wilderness, the Goryeo people in the whole place have been withdrawn into the rear of the Dawang City, the village is like a ghost, not to mention cattle and sheep, it is impossible to find a chicken.
"The situation in Dawangcheng is not optimistic, in order to control Dawangcheng, the king of Goryeo specially ordered Dawangcheng not to store grain during non-wartime, his grain and grass are dependent on Cangyan City for supplies, and now Cangyan City is in our hands, his grain and grass are cut off, if you want to get the supply of Anshi City, you need to turn over the entire Longgang Mountain, the road is difficult, now it depends on who can't help it, start first."
Standing on the Anyang Ridge, Bai Xue blocked the line of sight, and could only see the Xiongcheng faintly, Yun Ye suddenly saw a pyramid-like building next to the Great King City, the spire was almost higher than the city wall, just between Liaoshui and the Great King City.
"What's that, the Koreans are also interested in this kind of building, which is generally used as a tomb, why is it ...... here?"
Yun Ye was only halfway through speaking, and suddenly stopped, Liu Fang took out the sword on his waist and slashed heavily on his face, and shouted loudly: "The sky testifies, I, Liu Fang, must pay the blood debt of the Gaoli dog thief, otherwise, I will not return to my hometown." ”
Liu Fang is not the only one who has this action, Yang Yueming, Yang Yueli, Lai Chuanfeng, and those captains also cut their faces with knives, Yun Ye can't do it if he doesn't want to, damn it, he hasn't killed the enemy yet, so he gave himself a knife first, and he lost a lot, he hesitated with a knife in his hand and couldn't cut it, and when he saw that others were bleeding, he swore that he couldn't melt into the crowd, how could he be a commander? They all said that they would not return to their hometowns, so would they go back alone?
His face was cold, the cold light in his tongueless sleeves was hidden, he had just cut himself, and seeing Yun Ye's hesitation, he helped Yun Ye make up his mind by the way.
This knife is very accurate, the cut is not deep or shallow, but there is a lot of blood, and after a while, Yun Ye's face is covered with blood, and the excess is still flowing down his chin......
finally understood why Liu Fang would take all the generals to stand in the snow to see the Great King City, he wanted that Jingguan to arouse the blood of all the soldiers. He had achieved his goal, and everyone in the barracks was bleeding from their faces and shouting like a madman, "Kill, kill, kill." If you go to attack the city now, everyone must not be afraid of death, except for Yun Ye, of course.
The purpose of pre-war education has been achieved, and they should all go back to the camp to heal, damn it, this time it is completely full of wounded soldiers, and the initiator is Liu Fang, an old thief, for Liu Fang, who broke his appearance, Yun Ye has a deep grudge.
After the dog and Shan Ying came back, they swore by everyone's faces, but they didn't, they felt very unmanly, so they quickly gave themselves a knife, covered their bleeding cheeks and asked Yun Ye what oath he made?
This snow fell for a full day and a night, after the snow cleared and then looked at Dawang City, Yun Ye happily closed his mouth, because the white is the ground, the black is the water, sure enough, as described in the rumors, the Dawang City is densely covered with waterways, the moat is black and surging, and after going around the city for half a circle, it is poured into the city, the city is full of waterways, the houses are neat like vegetable furrows, countless bridges are built on the water, all of them are the kind of arched bridges, the boats in the river are busy, it seems to be transporting materials to the city wall, I didn't expect this river to have this use.
"If only we could cut off the Da Liao River, the river would flood the city." Yun Ye said with great interest, but found that his subordinates seemed to be busy with other things, so he thought he was talking to the air.
"See, the river that is introduced into the city is not Liaoshui, it is a small river flowing down from Longgang Mountain, haven't you noticed that the terrain of Dawangcheng is much higher than the outside? How high are you going to build a dam to flood the Great Kings? "It was Liu Fang who spoke, and other people knew that their commander didn't know the military formation, so they all saved face for the coach, and only he didn't let go.
"The river is too turbulent for a fire, so it would be nice if the flow slowed down." Yun Ye is not embarrassed, they are all their own people, and they are not ashamed to lose face.
"I was going to cut off that river, and I was going to fill the moat when I attacked the city, so I'm going to do it." After Liu Fang finished speaking, he walked out of the tent and began to arrange for the sergeants to cut down trees and build ladders, in addition to simple ladders, there were also stone throwers, trebuchets, siege towers, ramming vehicles and large shields.
This is a complicated job, fortunately, the Yun family is famous for its kitkat, and there is no shortage of such talents in the family, as long as the drawings are issued, the soldiers from the Yun family Zhuangzi will take others to cut wood and make it.
Siege warfare in the Tang Dynasty was like this, as soon as the walls were breached or the siege towers were already in place, the soldiers who volunteered to go into battle would launch a surprise attack. Such units are known for their "bleak anticipation" because they are prepared for casualties. However, those who manage to survive in this type of unit will be rewarded with the highest rewards in terms of promotions, titles, and loot.
Giant stone throwers, also known as counterweight stone throwers, are large catapults that are enhanced by heavy weights, usually large bags of stones. The long throwing arm of the trebuchet is loaded with a boulder at one end and stretched downward with a large number of weights. When the throwing arm is released, the throwing arm will bounce upwards due to the sudden loss of gravity, causing the boulder to be violently projected in a high arc trajectory. The projectiles thrown by this weapon will fall rapidly, and the most ideal situation is to use it to smash the dense arrow towers in the Great King City, and people also have strong crossbows, although they are less, and the power is not as good as those in Yun Ye's army, but they have a condescending advantage, if Yun Ye is not guarded, the unlucky one must be himself.
Trebuchets are also not omnipotent, and unless the projectile can hit the top of the wall, it is difficult to destroy the vertical wall with a giant trebuchet. If the giant trebuchet is not covered by a bow and arrow, it may be discovered and destroyed by the defenders after breaking through. Giant trebuchets are best used to smash wooden roofs and projection burning oil canisters.
Since this thing was created by Ma Jun during the Three Kingdoms period, it has always been liked by all siege generals for its convenience and simplicity of manufacturing, how can Yun Ye be an exception? (To be continued.) )
