Chapter 781: Breaking the Siege
Boom!
The smoke was filled, and the soldiers of the Shenji battalion came to the city wall and fired at the soldiers who came down from the siege tower, and many soldiers fell from the tower bridge.
"Burn the siege towers."
In the summer, Liang personally landed in the city, and Li Xiuning held a shield to block the front of the summer Liang.
"Sister Xia, why are you here?"
Huo Qing cooperated with Xu Rong and Xiahou Yuan to defend the city, and when he saw the Shenji Battalion coming to support, he knew that the summer was coming.
Princess Xia was besieged in Jixian County, Youzhou had at least 100,000 cavalry to defend the city, Shenji Battalion, Yulinwei, Niangzi Army, White Pole Soldiers, and Vine Armor soldiers were guarding the city, relying on elite troops to defend Jixian County.
The Liaodong Army can't capture Jixian, if it is in the throat, it can't capture Jixian, and they can't get the entire Youzhou.
The counties and counties of Youzhou are still waiting.
"Wait, Xianggong will come soon."
In the summer, he brushed Huo Qing's messy hair.
"Jixian County has been besieged, how do you know?"
"Well, the war eagle has sent the news that in the battle of Bishan, Lao Qin lost at least 150,000 soldiers and horses, Luoyang City has been captured, and Xiangcheng gathered troops and horses in Zhuo County. In addition to the Praetorian Guard, the city defense troops from all over Youzhou and the temporarily recruited county soldiers, they were ordered to go to Zhuo County. So reinforcements will arrive soon. ”
In the summer, Liang was notified in advance by Chutian, so he had no fear.
The cavalry of Mingguan is still a little worse than the cavalry of Chutian.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess, how can you take risks so easily."
Xiahou Yuan, as one of the guards, also had a headache, Chutian's women were more capable of fighting than one another, but they couldn't let them have an accident.
In summer, Liang looked down on the entire battlefield, black smoke was filled, stray arrows were splashing, arrows were raining down from the sky, stones fell from the sky, weapons collided, and the soldiers who were hit rolled down......
The severity of this siege battle can be seen.
"The Liaodong Army should already know that our reinforcements are coming, so they launched the biggest attack. As long as this offensive is repelled, then Jixian can be defended. ”
Xia Liang accurately judged the intentions of the Liaodong Army in Mingguan.
"The princess has an order, hold on for a day or two, our reinforcements are coming! King Xia will personally solve the siege for us! ”
Li Xiuning quickly delivered the news and stabilized the morale of the army.
Hearing that reinforcements were coming, the morale of all the defenders was boosted.
Morale affects the combat effectiveness of the defenders, and the news of the arrival of reinforcements can restore morale.
"Desperate, take Jixian County! Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, the two of you, attack the city in person! King Xia has already gathered troops in Zhuo County, and it will come soon! ”
Mingguan was a little crazy, he knew that Lao Qin was forced to give up Luoyang, and Chu Tian's main force was able to withdraw and use it to support Youzhou.
There is not much time left for him to capture Youzhou.
"Yes!"
Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong, two fierce generals, each holding a spear, led the Liaodong heavy infantry to the city!
"The last general will lead the archers and suppress the defenders."
The famous general Xu Dadai led a team of archers to shoot arrows at the city wall, and the archers on the city wall did not dare to take their heads.
The walls have a height advantage and defense bonuses, but they are relatively narrow, and the number of archers that can be deployed is not as good as that of the besieging side.
Siege and defense are a collision between a spear and a shield!
More than 100,000 Liaodong troops were attacking the city at the same time, and the two fierce generals Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong were haunted by the army!
The siege tower close to the city was lit by torches, and the firelight was reflected in the eyes of Mingguan, and it was difficult to capture Jixian County.
Countless soldiers were like ant colonies, clinging to the ladders, under the cover of dense rain of arrows and stones, attacking the city wall, fighting with the defenders on the city wall, and from time to time soldiers fell from the city wall.
Yaksha rings with iron nails fell from the top of their heads, and many soldiers were pierced by iron nails!
Chang Yuchun climbed the ladder, as if walking on the ground, killed all the way to the city wall, and killed dozens of defenders with his own strength!
A female general with a gun arrives with a white pole soldier to besiege Chang Yuchun, who has ascended the city.
Chang Yuchun is extremely brave, and many counties and checkpoints in Youzhou were captured by Chang Yuchun.
Qin Liangyu's spear stabbed out was vigorous, but it was blocked by Chang Yuchun, Chang Yuchun fought back, and the spear was like a dragon, sweeping Qin Liangyu and the white pole soldiers around her.
Qin Liangyu could only barely resist.
However, even so, it is quite rare to be able to block Chang Yuchun, after all, several fierce generals with the highest military strength in the Xia army were all taken by Chutian to attack Luoyang City, and there are not many fierce generals left in Youzhou.
The vulture bone can be used by force to hold on to Chang Yuchun, but the size of the vulture bone is too tall to actually defend the city, because the city wall cannot hide the size of the vulture bone at all.
Standing on the city wall, the vultures will be the target of all archers, even if the vultures are a fierce general of the Southern Barbarians, they cannot withstand being set on fire by thousands of archers.
Qin Liangyu and the white pole soldiers dragged Chang Yuchun, on the other side, Li Wenzhong held a gun and swept a corner of the city, he killed the defenders, the purpose was to let more soldiers enter the city and seize a corner.
Li Xiuning led a detachment of women's troops, motivating the defenders, and tried to expel Li Wenzhong.
The Liaodong Army and the Youzhou Army fought fiercely, the fire was spreading, and the smoke could be seen several miles away.
Below Jixian, the Liaodong Army lost at least 40,000 casualties.
After seeing a lot of cool scenes in summer, it is now very calm.
On the way from Zhuo County to Jixian County, Chu Tian led the Praetorian Guard, and the reinforcements of various counties and counties, more than 100,000 cavalry, directly took the avenue to support Jixian, with great fanfare, wanting to force back the Liaodong Army and reorganize the Youzhou defense line.
"What are Cao Cao and Zhou Yafu doing?"
Chutian knew that Youzhou was divided into two battlefields, one was the besieged Jixian County, where Xia Liang and Huo Qing were besieged, and they couldn't afford to lose any of Chutian. Huo Qing is still the eldest lady of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, and at the same time, she is the deputy metropolitan protector and the marquis of Guannei, and Chu Tian can't explain to Huo An. The other battlefield was the Yuyang County battlefield, and the two corps of Cao Cao and Zhou Yafu were in the second battlefield.
Fang Xuanling replied: "They were besieged by the three legions of Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Liaoxi, and it is estimated that it is enough to choke. ”
"Xianbei at this time is not the cowardly Xianbei."
Chu Tian also thought that Xianbei was a little tricky.
Among the five Hu, Xianbei has the most generals, and there are many talents in Murong Xianbei, Tuoba Xianbei, Yuwen Xianbei, Duan Xianbei and other tribes.
"We must suppress the Xianbei tribe and the Jurchen tribe, they are the most powerful tribes at present, one is in Liaoxi and the other is in Liaodong, otherwise there will be many troubles in the future."
Chutian was already thinking about taking the opportunity to suppress the Xianbei and Jurchen ministries.
Chutian can control the Xiongnu and Khitan, because the Xiongnu have almost no decent generals, Yufuluo is dead, and the Xiongnu only have Huchuquan left to help Chutian raise horses.
The Khitan tribe has a few generals, but the population is only tens of thousands, and the current Khitan leader Xiao Xuan has entered the Xia Wangfu again.
The Tribe tribe was mining, and it has since been removed.
The Xianbei and Jurchen tribes are different, Tuoba Xianbei and Murong Xianbei are tribes that have established the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Qianyan Kingdom, and the quality of military generals is very high.
The Jurchen tribe's Wanyan Aguta and Nurhachi were no exception and established dynasties.
"Let Cao Cao and Zhou Yafu deal with the enemy soldiers carefully, don't worry, the reinforcements have arrived, and if Mingguan can't attack Jixian, they will retreat. The next time we invade Liaoxi, we will completely exterminate the Xianbei tribe. As for the Wuhuan cavalry, it was just a foil. ”
Chu Tian subconsciously despised the Wuhuan cavalry.
The Wuhuan cavalry was at most comparable to Gongsun Zhan, and when they encountered Cao Cao, Zhang Liao and others, they had no power to parry, so they didn't have to worry too much.
Rumble!
A boulder fell next to Xia Liang, and one of the gravel scratched the back of Xia Liang's hand, and red blood flowed out.
In the summer, Liang calmly went to the doctor, disinfected it with alcohol, and then tore off a piece of gauze to bandage the wound.
Compared to the defenders' desperate defense of the city, this small injury is just a small meaning.
A group of vine armor soldiers came to the city wall to take over the exhausted defenders.
Gongsun Ao, Xue Wanche and other generals were all wounded, in order to repel the defenders, almost all the generals fought bloodily, even Wei Qing, a commander who was not known for his force, personally killed more than a dozen enemy soldiers.
The Liaodong army has gone completely crazy, Xu Da's bonus to the legion is extremely high, the Liaodong archers he personally commanded, completely suppressed the defenders of the city wall, and Wei Qing's deputy general Gongsun Ao was shot by an arrow and was seriously injured.
"If the Liaodong Army continues to attack for a few days, Jixian will be lost. The determination of the Liaodong Army to win is really terrifying. ”
Wei Qing killed a Liaodong foot soldier with a sword, lacking confidence in continuing to defend Jixian County.
The Liaodong army was desperate to attack the city, and when it was willing to pay a large enough price, the fortified city could also be lost.
A few years ago, when the heroes were divided, the siege ability of the various princes was not so strong, but as the princes obtained more powerful weapons and siege equipment blueprints, and recruited more special troops, the siege ability also reached a certain level.
The Eight Banners of the Han Army in Liaodong even used arquebuses and firecrackers to shoot at the Shenji Battalion on the city wall, resulting in the Shenji Battalion also lacking an advantage.
The situation was unfavorable to the defenders of Jixian County.
"Wait, this is the voice of the Liaodong Army's Mingjin Retreat!"
Just as the morale of the defenders of Jixian County turned low, the Liaodong Army attacking Jixian County suddenly withdrew its troops.
"You're lucky this time!"
Chang Yuchun had already defeated Qin Liangyu, but he heard the sound of Mingjin withdrawing his troops and had to retreat under the cover of Xu Da.
The same is true for Li Wenzhong.
The originally menacing Liaodong Army retreated, leaving thousands of corpses behind.
"I didn't expect it to fall short, if Lao Qin can delay for a while in Bishan, or even kill Chu Zimou, then Youzhou must be mine, and it will be easy to enter the Central Plains."
Mingguan knew that in a few days, Jixian County would be conquered by himself, but Chutian's reinforcements had arrived, and he was about to meet the Liaodong Army.
Whether it is the reinforcements of Chutian or the defenders of Jixian County, they all have combat power that the Liaodong Army does not dare to underestimate.
"It's a pity, but this time we failed."
Mingguan did not hesitate, when it was time to withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops in time to reduce unnecessary losses.
"The Summer King has arrived!"
After determining the retreat of the Liaodong Army, the defenders of Jixian County saw the handsome banner of King Xia, and a cavalry appeared on the periphery of Jixian County.
