Chapter Ninety-Four: The City Is Broken
In the general's mansion in the city, Meng Fu, who was full of tiredness, sat in the study, his brows condensed into a pimple.
It's been five days, and the Wei army outside the city is like crazy in these five days, launching a non-stop onslaught on the city gate from morning to night, and in just these five days, more than 30,000 people have died on both sides......
At this time, the land of the west gate of Diqiu City had turned blood-red, completely infected by the blood of the soldiers of Qin and Wei, and the thick bloody atmosphere made it impossible for the Qin army on the head of the city to gain a foothold.
During these five days, Meng Fu spent seven or eight hours at the head of the city every day, always facing the frantic attack of the Wei army......
This intensity had already exhausted the old general, and he even fell asleep in the city several times, and was finally forcibly sent back to the mansion by the adjutant general before he stopped.
But even after returning to the mansion, Meng Fu still couldn't sleep peacefully.
Because he knew that the Qin army in the city was about to reach its limit, and if the other party continued to fight so recklessly, I am afraid that within three days, the Qin army would collapse by itself.
"Is the person who led the Wei army outside the city a fool? With such an intense attack, their losses were almost three times that of ours, and with such a huge sacrifice, wasn't he afraid that the army's morale would be scattered and lead to a mutiny?! ”
After so many years of fighting, he has never seen such a commander who cares about the lives of his sergeants, this is simply not treating soldiers as human beings!
Just like this, he kept thinking about such crazy intentions of the Wei army commander, and unconsciously, Meng Fu fell into a hazy state of half-asleep and half-awake.
In a daze, he seemed to hear a few strange popping sounds outside, which woke him up from his sleep.
Just as he was about to ask out loud what was going on outside, a biting chill suddenly rose from the back of his head, and he couldn't help but stand on end with his hairs all over his body.
Years of experience struggling on the brink of life and death made him instinctively want to dodge, but the aging body, which was already overdrawn, was too slow.
A cold light flashed, and the head of a white flower was thrown high, and then a black figure was held in his hand in mid-air, wrapped directly in cloth, and then disappeared into the silent general's mansion.
At the same time, several of the Qin generals who had retired from the city to rest were exhausted and lost their heads silently.
Finally, when the sixth man was killed, the Qin army discovered the assassins lurking in the darkness......
"Enemy Attack !!"
A piercing scream startled the entire Emperor Hill City.
The soldiers of the Qin army, who had finally gotten a little rest, were called up again, and then in a daze, they were taken by their own commander and began to search all over the city.
And Xuan Jian and the others, who were discovered, were not greedy, and immediately fled in the dark, and then began to set fire to the city everywhere to create chaos.
The riot in Emperor Hill City was soon picked up by Li Chenfeng, who was paying special attention.
Then an order was given, and the Wei soldiers, who were also exhausted, were also woken up by their own generals again.
"Mei Sanniang, lead all the Wei warriors and prepare to enter the city!"
"Others, prepare wells, siege engines and ladders, advance to the bottom of the city, ready to attack the city at any time!"
"Yes! General! ”
Although many people were very reluctant, they still prepared quickly in the face of Li Chenfeng's military order.
As for Wei Wushu, these people are the most elite infantry in this world, no matter when and where, they will meticulously and strictly implement the general's orders.
Half an hour later, the Wei army approached the city again, making the Qin army in the city nervous again.
Although it was late at night, the countless torches on both sides illuminated the entire West Gate as if it were day.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the Qin army in the city suddenly began to riot, and then a scream came, and even the corpses of the Qin soldiers fell from the city.
"Good! Got it! ”
Li Chenfeng was overjoyed, and then with an order, the entire Wei army of tens of thousands of troops pressed up, with Wei Wushu taking the lead, and began to attack the city wall of Diqiu City with the most fierce offensive.
Because of the riots in the city, the lord was killed, and even the deputy generals were killed, and with the cooperation of Xuan Jian and their assassins, the Wei Wushu led by Mei Sanniang personally occupied the head of Xicheng City in only half an hour, and then began to attack the city.
When the city gate was struck from the inside, the fall of Diqiu City was a foregone conclusion.
Qian Ge, the deputy general of the cavalry, who had been regarded as an auxiliary along the way, finally found an opportunity to vent, led thousands of cavalry under his command, rushed directly into the city from the city gate, and then swept the headless Qin army along the street.
When the 100,000 Wei army attacked Diqiu City, they instantly suppressed the Qin army in the city, and then divided, surrounded, and annihilated......
After a night of chaotic fighting, the once patriotic capital changed hands again, and the crimson Vermilion Bird banner of Wei was planted at the head of the city to hunt.
The few former patriotic people in the city were rudely called out of their homes by the Wei army, and then began to collect the corpses with the Wei army.
However, as early as when he entered the city, Li Chenfeng gave an order not to allow the Wei army to plunder the people, so although these Wei troops were vicious, they did not do anything out of the ordinary.
And the people who still live here are all poor jingles, and they don't even have food, so what else is there to grab......
The city has been taken, but that doesn't mean it's over.
On the contrary, troublesome things are only beginning now.
In the following time, Li Chenfeng asked people to collect corpses, treat the wounded, collect the spoils of war, and dispose of prisoners.
Originally, there were 30,000 Qin troops and 10,000 old and weak people in the city, not to mention these old and weak for the time being, they were all the people of the original Emperor Qiu City, who were temporarily pulled by the Qin army to work as coolies, and now just let them go back to their respective homes.
As for the 30,000 Qin troops, Li Chenfeng still followed the previous method, singled out the soldiers from Qin and executed them directly, and then the rest were disorganized into his own troops.
In this way, it can be regarded as replenishing his troops with 10,000 new soldiers.
The losses of the Wei army in this battle were very large, nearly 20,000 people died in the city and under the city alone, and there were those who fled halfway, missing, seriously injured and incurable, seriously injured and disabled, etc., the Wei army lost more than 50,000 in total of 150,000 people.
Fortunately, Diqiu City has been taken, and all the Qin troops in the city have been disposed of, and then only need to lead troops to clean up the entire city of Dongjun, then this vast land will completely belong to the Wei State.
After resting for a day, Li Chenfeng sent messengers to report the victory to Daliang, and at the same time asked Qian Ge to lead the cavalry, which had expanded to 8,000 people, to start south to receive the city of Dongjun that the Qin State had occupied.
After he settles down the city of Diqiu himself, then he will also lead the army that has rested all the way north until the entire East County is in his pocket!
