Chapter Ninety-Two: Soldiers Descend on Emperor Hill City
In a big battle, the 10,000 iron cavalry of the Qin army were annihilated, and there was not a single prisoner or deserter.
Li Chenfeng had a large pit dug in the center of the battlefield, and then burned all the corpses of the Qin army and buried them, and the fire lasted for three days and three nights before it was extinguished.
Similarly, on the Wei side, the losses of the Wei soldiers who served as the hard resistance to the impact of the Qin army were also huge, more than 3,000 people died, and there were more than 1,000 wounded and disabled, with nearly 5,000 casualties, and the loss of ordinary soldiers was more than 20,000......
The battle losses of the main forces of the two sides were one to two, and it was infantry against cavalry, such a record was worthy of the prestige of Wei Wu's first pawn in the world.
But considering that there are still 100,000 ordinary soldiers on his side, if you count it in this way, the victory in this battle is not so gratifying.
Standing on a hillside, looking at the soldiers who were camping below, Li Chenfeng didn't know what it was like.
Since the dispatch of troops, more than 40,000 Wei troops have died or been seriously injured and have withdrawn from the battlefield, and this is still when they have not really encountered the main force of the Qin army.
When he arrived in Diqiu City, what kind of scene should he face in the face of the tens of thousands of Qin troops in the city?
This time, he brought 10,000 new troops from Daliang, and when he returned to Daliang, how many of them could return with him?
Behind him, I don't know when, Xuan Jian and the startled salamander have already appeared there.
The two of them didn't play much in the previous battle, because Li Chenfeng had already ordered the two of them not to get involved before the battle began.
The two of them are just swordsmen, and in the face of this kind of battle of tens of thousands of people, no matter how strong they are, there is no guarantee that they will not die in the chaos.
Their role was not to charge into battle in the first place!
"Childe, General Mei has sent news that the body of the chief general of the Qin army has been found, and he is in the tent, so please ask Childe to move." Xuan Jian arched his hand and said.
With a long exhale, Li Chenfeng turned around, "Okay, let's go." ”
The chief general of the Qin army, Meng Xi, a young general less than thirty years old, began to follow his uncle Meng Wei to fight in the south and north at the age of fifteen.
"If the crockpot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die in battle."
Looking at the corpse whose body was already like broken cotton wool, Li Chenfeng ordered: "Dig a separate grave for him next to him, don't forget to erect a monument and leave a name." Such a character should not be so obscure and be a lonely ghost. ”
"Yes!"
The two soldiers were ordered to carry the body down.
Only then did Li Chenfeng turn around and look at the three strong men in front of him.
"What is your name, and what is your current position?"
After listening to Li Chenfeng's words, the three of them were a little excited, and after a while, one of the strong men who was almost two meters tall stepped forward and said, "General Qiqi, subordinate Zhao Lian, was originally the centurion of Wei Wushu's new army!" ”
With someone taking the lead, the other two immediately stepped forward to sign up.
"General Qiyu, subordinate Wei Qing, was originally the commander of Wei Wushu's new army!"
"General Qiyu, subordinate to Tian Fang, was originally the commander of Wei Wushu's new army!"
Li Chenfeng looked at the three of them in some surprise, but he didn't expect that they were people from his new army.
He had some impressions of this Zhao Lian, who was originally a disciple of the Armor Gate, tall and natural, and was born with divine power, and he was also a master in the Armor Gate, so Li Chenfeng knew him a little.
As for the rest of Wei Qing and Tian Fang, they joined when recruiting new troops, and they were also two wrestlers, who performed very well after joining the army, and were named the chief by Mei Sanniang.
These three people were the ones who killed Mengxi, the main general of the Qin army, or the hundred-man team they were in, who encountered Mengxi in the melee, and then after a fierce battle, Zhao Lian's hundred-man team was left with more than twenty, and Mengxi, the young general, was torn apart by the sword......
"Excellent! You guys are doing a great job! Li Chenfeng praised.
"Order, centurion Zhao Lian, kill the chief general of the Qin army, seal the commander of the thousand, and reward 100 gold! Wei Qingtian is a centurion, and he will be rewarded with 100 gold, and the rest of the people will be rewarded! ”
Zhao Lian and the three of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Thank you for the reward!" ”
After rewarding the meritorious heroes, the next thing is to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded, but these are all done by Mei Sanniang and several other lieutenants, and he, the general, is idle.
Because of the urgency of the military situation, it was naturally impossible for Li Chenfeng to stay in Guiling for long, and after leaving some seriously wounded people in the city and a thousand soldiers to garrison, Li Chenfeng continued to march towards Diqiu City with a large army.
After passing Guiling City, continuing to follow the Jindi River all the way to the northeast is already a smooth road, there is no big city at all on the way, and naturally there is no defender of the Qin army.
Except for the scouts who came from Diqiu City on the way, Li Chenfeng and the others did not have any fighting, and they came to Diqiu City smoothly all the way.
As the former capital of the patriotic country, Diqiu City has high walls and deep cities, backed by the Jindi River, and backed by mountains on one side, and there are enough places to garrison large armies in the two directions of the south gate and the west gate.
In the face of such a fortified city, any methods such as surprise attacks are useless, and they can only be filled by human lives......
When the army of Meng Fu came to the city, Wei Yuanjun did not resist much at all, and directly opened the city and surrendered, so the Qin army did not use a single soldier to take this fortified city.
At this time, the veteran Meng Fu, who had white hair, was already standing at the head of the city, looking at the dense figure three miles away, guessing from experience that the other party might have a scale of more than 100,000.
Such a number, in addition to the auxiliary soldiers and people, I am afraid that the regular army is about the same as the Qin army in the city at this time, if it is just like this, then Meng Fu does not believe that the other party can take this city.
However, thinking that the 10,000 iron cavalry he was stationed in Guiling were all wiped out by the army in front of him, he was also a little worried in his heart.
Li Chenfeng really didn't think about using any tricks to break the city at this time, since it has reached this point, how about fighting hard?
If you can't beat it in one day, it will take two days, and if you can't beat it in two days, it will take three days......
Now these Qin troops in the city have become lone troops, as long as the east of Dianqing blocks Mengwu's 100,000 army, Li Chenfeng believes that there will be a day when they will be defeated!
On the first day, Li Chenfeng did not rush to attack, but let the Wei army, which had been on the road for several days, rest for a good night, and wait until he was full of energy.
And Li Chenfeng also thought about whether the Qin army in the city would take advantage of the exhaustion of the Wei army and rob a camp at night, but unfortunately disappointed him in the end, because the Qin army did not leave the city at all.
Meng Fu has fought a battle all his life, and he has never seen any scenes, and now in this situation, although they are isolated and helpless, no matter how they look at each other, it is unlikely that the other party will be able to break through Diqiu City, so he has no need to take risks, and after the two sides are really fighting, test their respective strengths.
Li Chenfeng, who didn't wait for the Qin army to rob the camp, was not disappointed, since you want to be open-minded, then let's come open-mindedly!
As soon as it was dawn the next day, the siege of the Wei army began!
The roars, shouts, screams, and all kinds of voices reached the ears of Li Chenfeng, who was supervising the battle in the rear, and also reached the ears of the people in the city.
The Wei soldiers, who were not afraid of death, carried the ladders one by one, attached to the city wall like ants and began to climb up. The Qin troops in the city also struggled to lift the sassal wood and rolling stones one by one, and smashed them down fiercely.
A brutal siege battle like a meat grinder is unfolding!
