Chapter 358: Pinguo's Strange Move
Chen Tang is a very ambitious person, but at the same time, he is also a very powerful person.
Under his encouragement, the morale of those soldiers of the new country was extremely high, and when they looked at the pass in the distance, they all had a jade hope of conquest in their eyes.
And the defenders of this pass complained bitterly, because Xinguo had no intention of forcibly attacking the city, but directly smashed the city with catapults, and the stones were quickly thrown towards the pass, smashing all over the sky.
Chen Tang completely wanted to directly smash the city wall of the pass, and then directly send troops to attack, so that there was no need to attack the city.
"Quick! Defend! ”
The generals at the head of the city were still shouting, but he was greeted by countless stones thrown from the air.
Bang bang bang!
The stones came down, and the gaps in the walls became even bigger, and the walls kept smashing out of the gaps, and the broken stones splattered out, and the soldiers who died under the stones, and the whole city was in shambles.
And the durability of the city wall is declining rapidly, and if it goes on like this, it won't last long, at most it will be less than half an hour, and in less than half an hour, the pass city wall will be broken.
In history, during the Ming Dynasty, probably during the time of Zhu Houzhao, in the Datong area of the ancient city wall of Shanxi, the nomads directly found a way to break through the city wall and plundered directly south.
The guards were in a hurry, and the city was even more chaotic, and the guards grabbed the soldiers around him and asked, "Have you notified Your Majesty?" ”
"It's been sent out soon, but general, we can't hold on to His Majesty's reinforcements."
"Where are there any reinforcements, and now the domestic reinforcements have also been transferred to Wanguo, it's just for Your Majesty to prepare early."
"General, what should we do then?"
"What to do? Now, the only way to repay Your Majesty is to fight to the death! ”
Bang bang bang!
Another round of stones fell, like stones the size of a millstone on the city wall, and the soldiers defending the city who ran in a hurry were directly smashed to the ground, blood splashed.
The new ** team did not attack at all, that is, it was clear that it would use catapults to bombard, not attack the city at all, and do whatever it wanted by relying on the distance advantage, and there was no defense at the head of this pass, and it was impossible to attack out of the city at all.
No matter how you look at it, this pass is bound to be broken.
Not long after, another round of throwing stones, this time, not far from the gate, a city wall was cracked, and stones fell down, and then the city wall cracked directly, and with a bang, it collapsed from above, and an entrance appeared.
Seeing that the city wall had been broken, Chen Tang was shocked and shouted, "Rush! Capture the city and kill all the enemies! ”
"Kill!"
All the soldiers of the new country in front of them rushed towards the front like crazy.
Under the cover of catapults, there was not much effective defense on the head of the city, and it was not long before the soldiers of the new country followed the broken city wall and entered the pass.
A new soldier rushed in, slashed down with a big knife in his hand, rushed all the way to kill, slashed all the way, and the soldiers who rushed over in front of him were chopped to death by him.
Even if he was stabbed in the stomach with a shot, the new soldier grabbed the opponent's spear and rushed forward, and then slashed the opponent's head with a knife.
With the influx of new soldiers, there was a clanging sound of weapons colliding in the entire pass city, and those new soldiers also rushed to the city, and Chen Tang was behind, also rushing in with soldiers.
"Come on!"
The general defending the city was still roaring, looking at the new country soldier who was bravely rushing towards him, he directly held the big knife with both hands, and slashed it forward, the chest of the new country soldier was directly cut in half, and he pushed the new country soldier away, regardless of the blood sprayed on his face, and slashed at the new country soldier in front of him.
On Chen Tang's side, he also led the soldiers of the new country to kill the enemy continuously, and with a sword passed, he directly stabbed through the bodies of those soldiers.
Subsequently, Chen Tang took a few soldiers and directly confronted the general who was defending the city.
After all, the generals defending the city are just ordinary generals, how can they be Chen Tang's opponents, after a few successive battles, they were directly cut off by Chen Tang's sword, and another sword pierced through his throat.
The general who defended the city fell unwillingly.
Chen Tang drew out his bloody long sword, and when he saw the end of the battle, he immediately shouted: "Clean the battlefield and bandage the wound!" ”
The soldiers quickly rested, the gates opened, and the catapults outside pushed in.
Chen Tang only let the soldiers rest for a while, and the wounded soldiers stayed to guard the city, and he took the rest of the soldiers and siege equipment with him and continued to advance towards the country in the north.
The imperial capital of Pinguo is basically in the northwest corner of Pingyuan County, breaking through from Guangmen Pass to the north, and it is actually not far from the imperial capital of Pinguo.
And the news that Chen Tang led the army to attack the pass was also directly transmitted to the imperial capital of Pinguo.
"Hmph."
Yipin Jiangshan had a calm face and threw the battle report on the table.
"What a good means, this new country is indeed ruthless enough, knowing that my Pin country has presented its troops to the Wan country, and even sent troops to attack our country directly from the south."
One of the courtiers below clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, that Qinyang Pass is the gateway of our Pin Country to guard Hejian County, and now it has been broken by the new country, and the other party's troops are very strong, so we must prepare early, otherwise we will be directly beaten by the other party to the imperial capital." ”
"Preparing is naturally to prepare, his new country is waiting for my country to withdraw its troops directly from Wanguo, but I can't let him succeed, this army he sent must not have many troops, although the offensive is very fierce, but if you want to really take down my imperial capital, it is simply impossible, send troops, concentrate on defending the city, he can't defeat it."
Yipin Jiangshan can also distinguish which is more important, Wanguo's side is very important, and if he withdraws some troops back now, it will be a direct violation of the covenant signed with Wanguo, the covenant will be invalid, and it will be impossible for Wanguo, the two county seats, to give it to him.
"Your Majesty, now that our country is in danger, won't you withdraw your troops to help?"
Yipin Jiangshan frowned: "What do you know, once the Wanguo is destroyed, can my Pinguo still survive?" As long as this side is defended, there is no way for his new country, and besides, he doesn't want to force my country, but he doesn't know if he will be able to defend it if there is a fire in the backyard of his new country. ”
Yipin Jiangshan took his hands: "Cao Dianke, leave this matter to you, send lobbyists to Hejian County to lobby those national cities and make them rebel against the new country." ”
The pawn came out: "Your Majesty, how many lobbyists do you need to send?" ”
"Naturally, the more the merrier."
In addition to the troops sent to help Wan defend the city, there were still about 10,000 troops in Pinguo, all of which were transferred to the imperial capital and nearby cities.
The other is the strategists and lobbyists sent out by Pinguo, and they have begun to leave for Hejian County.
