Chapter 621: Capture the Yuan Clan
Jia Rong nodded slightly and said: "If the Yuan clan is not attacked, the Jizhou army will not be shaken, they have a lot of soldiers, which is much stronger than our army, but when it comes to the real field battle, even if they have 300,000 people, it is not enough to see." Instead of building an army of 200,000, it is better to gather all the materials and money together to build a 50,000 army of soldiers and horses, which can not only reduce consumption, but also improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, Jizhou is just a state, even if it is prosperous, without Jia Rong attacking, 200,000 soldiers can make Yuan Shao sad.
In terms of strength, the Jizhou army is inferior to the Xiliang army and the Cao army, so Yuan Shao wants to start from the number and crush you to death with the advantage of numbers.
The next day, the weather was clear, and Jia Rong personally sat in charge of the Chinese army, which was still the old routine of fighting, with a ladder plus a rushing car and a well.
The open jaw on the city saw the "Jia" banner raised by the Chinese army of the Xiliang Army, his face turned solemn, Jia Rong has been in the city for some time, the purpose of the Xiliang Army is very simple, that is, to take Changshan Country with a ferocious attack, but the defenders in the city have 40,000 people, even if the Xiliang Army has 100,000, it is difficult to break through.
Zhang Jaw learned through the previous way of fighting the Western Liang Army that the Western Liang Army always liked to sneak attack and secretly opened the city gate, so he strengthened the defense at the city gate.
At this time, he was a little puzzled, because behind the Xiliang Army's rushing car, a group of soldiers appeared, these soldiers, different from the soldiers who rushed to the battlefield, did not have thick armor on their bodies, they were dressed in black, their steps were light and strong, and they were also holding things that could not be named with open jaws in their hands, and they were quickly approaching the city gate.
After telling Yan Liang his questions, Yan Liang said with some disdain: "The Xiliang Army will always engage in those conspiracies, I don't believe that with those few people, it can turn the world upside down on the battlefield." The continuous attacks made Yan Liang a little numb, thinking that the Xiliang army's means of attacking the city were just so many.
Zhang Jaw also nodded slightly, thinking that he was a little nervous, and when he saw Jia Rong, he was a little excited.
A dozen soldiers mingled among the soldiers, inconspicuous, and after approaching the city gates, they began to dig in the ground.
As an important place in a city, the ground outside the city gate is naturally very solid, after hearing the soldiers' report on the actions of more than a dozen people, he put down a trace of doubt in his heart, and wanted to dig a passage from under the city gate, without half a month to think of success, and then only need a little preparation in the city, this plan can be completely dismantled.
Of course, the thunderbolt in the city will not let go of such an opportunity to hit the Xiliang army, the boulder continues to wreak havoc when the soldiers advance, looking at the sound of the Xiliang army lying in a pool of blood and wailing, the heart of the jaw is happy.
This attack of the Xiliang Army is completely deadly, and the materials consumed can't help but be frightened even if they open their jaws, even the ballista is not life-threatening to launch, the thunderbolt is even if it is forgotten, and the ballista is always throwing stones, but the crossbow cart is not, the crossbow arrows that are like short spears are all money.
Even the arrows fired by the ballista, the defenders also had experience in dodging.
Looking at the dust raised by the crossbow arrows on the city wall, Zhang Jaw and Yan Liang had to pay attention to the crossbow cart, if there was no limit to the arrows, with the repeater cart, they could directly shoot the city gate.
Thinking of the city gate, Zhang Jaw hurriedly ordered the soldiers to inquire about the situation, more than a dozen soldiers, had already dug a big hole, because it was in the city, Zhang Jaw's vision was restricted, and he couldn't see it clearly, so he had to order the soldiers guarding the gate to keep spreading the latest news.
After the big pit was dug, the soldier's face showed a relaxed look, the pit was not big, about half a meter deep, but the effort was not short.
When the dozen or so soldiers came, there were only five or six people left for such a big pit, and the soldiers also paid a heavy price, not to mention the main army used to attack the city, Jia Rong of the Chinese army didn't care so much at all, and he should pay a little price for the victory of this battle.
Jia Rong took out a strange thing in his hand, looked towards the city gate, and after seeing the gesture of the soldiers, he ordered: "Mingjin collects the troops." ”
The sound of gold made Zhang Jaw breathe a sigh of relief, in such a short time, more than 300 people had died in the city, and the price paid by the Xiliang Army was also not small.
The besieging army retreated, but there were soldiers who began to prepare in secret, if they were here, they would definitely be surprised, among these prepared soldiers, it was like the heavy infantry and heavy cavalry of the Xiliang Army, on the battlefield, it was the existence of causing bloody storms.
Guo Yan didn't understand what the soldiers near the city gate were doing, but this was a critical moment, but he couldn't care so much, the soldiers who were secretly preparing were already rubbing shoulders, waiting for the next battle, but he heard Jia Rong say that the city gate would be opened, and the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry stepped forward, and he thought that Jia Rong was looking for a good response in the city.
Boom, boom, three loud bangs in succession, sounded under the city, the scorching waves, will be a few soldiers in the escape, the death is extremely tragic, and the city gate is also under the loud noise, become a mess, look around, where is the city gate, even the city wall has cracks.
Such a movement, Mo said that it was the Jizhou army in the city, and even Guo Yan, who was secretly preparing for haode, was also stunned, what happened under the city, and then he remembered that at the beginning of the army's attack, there were more than a dozen soldiers holding strange things and going to the city gate, and when the Zuihou army retreated, these soldiers were still busy under the city.
Ignoring Guo Yan's strange eyes, Jia Rong hurriedly said, "Kill." ”
Guo Yan was startled in his heart, the flag danced, the rumbling war drums sounded, and the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry headed in the direction of the city gate.
When the heavy cavalry approached the city gate, they were also shocked, what kind of liliang could cause such damage, the city gate was gone, and under the city wall, the soldiers' weapons and armor were faintly visible, and they were scorched black.
When the heavy cavalry entered the city, Zhang Jaw reacted and hurriedly ordered: "The halberd soldiers stepped forward to meet the enemy." ”
How is the Euphorbia the opponent of the heavy cavalry, the cavalry wrapped in armor, without making a move, just relying on the collision, can cause bursts of bloody rain and smash the formation of the Euphorbia.
The Xiliang army outside the city, with the pace of the heavy cavalry, attacked the city, Yan Liang even dragged and dragged out of the Yuan clan with a jaw, looking at the soldiers behind him There were only more than 10,000 people, his face was surprisingly ugly, the previous battle with the Xiliang army, the defenders in the city could still have the upper hand, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, the city was lost, and the huge gap between the front and back made Yan Liang a little uncomfortable.
Zhang Jaw's eyes were empty, when the army retreated, he saw with his own eyes an elite Euphorbia under the heavy cavalry, the killed were defeated and retreated, it was difficult to stop the pace of the heavy cavalry, and all the Euphorbia also stayed in the city, the Euphorbia has always been a team that Yuan Shao attaches great importance to, even if he suffered heavy losses outside Hangu Pass, after returning to Jizhou, Yuan Shao spent a lot of financial resources to complete it, and has a team that can be compared with the elite Xiliang Army, which is also a point that Yuan Shao is very proud of.
Unexpectedly, in less than a day's effort, there were only more than 10,000 people left in the 40,000 army, many of whom were still injured, but there were still more than 20,000 soldiers and horses and countless grain and grass in the city, poor Yan Liang hurriedly led the army away, leaving everything to the Xiliang army.
"My lord, what is the thing that just lost the city gate?" Guo Yan asked.
This question also attracts the attention of other generals, just like there are many such things in the Xiliang Army, not to mention the small Jizhou, even the whole world is at your fingertips.
"This is the top secret of the Xiliang Army, except for this king, no one can know, but this kind of thing, there are not many in the Xiliang Army, so in the future, it is still you who will rush to kill the battlefield, don't be arrogant because of a little weapon, there are still many smart people on this shijie." Jia Rong took the opportunity to teach a lesson, didn't he understand the twists and turns in the general's heart.
"No." All the generals hugged their fists together, and in their hearts they memorized Jia Rong's words, fighting on the battlefield, no matter how powerful the weapon is, the morale is not good, or still lose, and there are countless examples of winning more with less in history.
"But I can lend you something like this for a while." Jia Rong took out the special telescope made by the craftsman's workshop and said.
Guo Yan took the binoculars, learned from Jia Rong's appearance on the battlefield, put it to his eyes to watch, when he saw a general in the room, suddenly enlarged in his eyes, and took two steps back in fright, and everyone who didn't know why looked at Guo Yan in surprise.
Guo Yan glanced at Jia Rong's expression, then looked back at what he had just seen, took the telescope and looked out towards the school field not far away, only to see the soldiers in the distance, such as in front of him, excited, on the battlefield, if there is this thing, can watch the enemy far away, the grasp of the fighter will be more accurate.
"My lord, what is this?" Guo Yan reluctantly handed the telescope to another general beside him and asked Jia Rong.
"It's a telescope, and it's able to see objects from a great distance." Jia Rong explained.
The telescope has also spread among the people, after seeing it, all of them are nostalgic, if a magic weapon has a great attraction to the generals, then the telescope, more attractive than the magic weapon, they never thought they could see things so far, many generals heard the conversation between Jia Rong and Guo Yan, and understood the importance of the telescope.
"This is for you, whoever behaves well on the battlefield will be given a telescope." Jia Rong said generously.
Yan Liang and Zhang Jaw led more than 10,000 remnants of the defeated generals, and they only traveled more than ten miles before cavalry pursued them.
lost more than 1,000 horses, and finally threw the cavalry away, but these cavalry, like maggots on the tarsal bones, closely pursued behind the Jizhou army, constantly weakening Yan Liang's strength, as long as Yan Liang stopped for a moment, there would be cavalry to kill.
