Chapter 357: One Hundred Thousand Army

Judging from the map, the power of the new country has occupied a large part of the plain county, except for some small neutral countries in the middle that have not yet been annexed, the central east and the south, all of which are the territory of the new country.

Laying down the country of Wan and Pin, the entire plain county is the territory of the new country.

At that time, the new country will be a country that will control the three counties, and the territory will not be small.

The soldiers of the new country camped around the Wan country, including the territory of the inevitable Shun country, and the troops in the new country, even including the troops of Lin Chuandong County, were all transferred.

Except for a small number of troops in Pingyuan County, basically all the troops of the new country are concentrated near Wanguo.

The new country wants to finish its work in one battle!

There are more than 60,000 troops, plus more than 20,000 troops on Han Kuangrui's side, adding up, it is close to 90,000 troops!

Rounding it up, it is not an exaggeration to call it an army of 100,000.

100,000 troops attacked Wanguo, Wanguo's current strength to defend the city is insufficient, and the troops in the west have all been transferred, only 20,000, plus the troops transferred from Pinguo, that is, a full 50,000 troops, and only 70,000, and the total strength is weaker than that of Xinguo.

Of course, in many wars, the difference between the 90,000 army and the 70,000 army is not very large, and it can be completely made up for through the commander's command strategy.

Xinguo did not rush to attack the city, and some of the manufactured siege equipment was transported to Beixian County through the Qinglong Pass, and then to Moxian, and was continuously transported to the border.

During this time, the technology of the new country has not fallen, and the siege vehicles used in the siege have been further improved, with an armored package on the outside, similar to the existence of a siege tower, which can not only attack the city gate, but now it can also cause damage to the city wall and destroy its durability value.

Equipment such as catapults and well railings have also been upgraded, and in addition, Xinguo has also developed a new siege equipment.

Watari utensils.

This kind of appliance in history, the Song Dynasty appeared more, the length of the Song Dynasty Hao Bridge is subject to Hao, there are two big wheels in front of the bridge under the bridge, there are two small wheels in the back, advance into Hao, and the bridge is flat and crossable when the wheel sinks. If it is wide, then use a folding bridge, that is, connect the two bridges, and there is a hinge in the middle, and the usage is the same.

This kind of equipment is specially aimed at the moat, which is equivalent to building a road on the bridge with a car, which is more advanced than the previous ladder.

With the passage of time, it is also the middle of autumn, and it is not good to attack the city in winter, and the new country still has more than half a month to go.

The scouts sent also came with the news that the troops mobilized by Pinguo did not hide from Bai Qi, and Bai Qi's side simply did not move.

In the camp, Hu Che'er and the others were all practicing, and a messenger sent from Nanxian County also found Han Kuangrui and the others.

Lu Zhonglian entered the camp with a smile: "General Han, General Zhongli, General Gao, congratulations, the holy decree has come, the three generals will be the generals of our new country from now on." ”

Han Kuangrui's face was happy, and sure enough, there was a little eunuch who followed Lu Zhonglian in, and took out a tied holy decree from his sleeve.

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict ......"

As the little eunuch began to recite the content of the holy decree, Han Kuangrui and the three of them all knelt down, and the three of them were also divided into generals, but they were only four-rank generals.

When he finished reading, Lu Zhonglian smiled and said: "Okay, three generals, now they are the generals of my new country, please hurry up." ”

The little eunuch also smiled and said: "Congratulations to the three generals, Your Majesty likes the three generals very much, just wait for the defeat of Wanguo, you will return to China and set up a banquet for you." ”

Han Kuangrui smiled: "We will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty." ”

Lu Zhonglian said with a smile: "If the three generals make more meritorious contributions, this grade should be able to rise even further." ”

Zhong Liyi's heart was also relieved, and he asked with a smile: "There is no problem, but Mr. Lu, may I ask, why haven't you started attacking yet?" We have been encamped here for a few days, and the soldiers are ready to attack. ”

Now Zhong Liyi is already calling Mr. Lu, you know, I can't wait to chop Lu Zhonglian's head with a knife before.

Lu Zhonglian smiled and said: "Don't worry, the general has his own arrangements." ”

Zhong Liyi nodded: "We believe in General Bai." ”

At the same time, Hejian County Guangmen Pass.

This is the northernmost pass of Hejian County in Xinguo, and it is closely adjacent to the pass of Pinguo.

After Chen Tang came, he took over the military power and began to drill every day, and the food and siege equipment, including the catapults, were all transported in place.

The fast horses that rushed over from the south also came to Guangmen Pass at this moment.

"General, general, urgent military information sent."

Chen Tang took a look, and a happy color appeared on his face: "Okay, just wait for this information." Order, prepare for the siege. ”

Zhao Guang walked over: "General, are you going to start attacking the city?" ”

"Attack, General Bai sent a letter, let us just attack, if we can hit the imperial capital of Pinguo, no matter how good it is, if we can't fight, we have to make a huge momentum and attract the attention of Pinguo."

"Yes."

All the soldiers were quickly assembled, and after Chen Tang made a simple mobilization, he directly led the army, that is, he set off to the north, came to the pass, advanced forward, and faced the arrows on the opposite side, without saying a word, dozens of catapults smashed towards the pass!

Bang bang bang!

Stones are thrown out, crossing the parabola in the air, and then smashing on the city wall, those city walls are not smashed, one round of smashing, the durability of at least a dozen points, it is estimated that about ten rounds, the city wall will be directly smashed.

Moreover, Chen Tang even asked the soldiers to form a shield formation with shields to block the front, and all the arrows that came were blocked.

"Quick!"

Whoosh!

There were countless sounds of breaking the sky in the sky, and there was a rush of sounds on the city, some soldiers were directly killed by the boulders, and the corpses fell, and many gaps were smashed in the city.

There were not as many ballistas and catapults on the head of the city as on Chen Tang's side, and the guard generals shouted and fired crossbow arrows, but unfortunately, the crossbow arrows were not shot accurately and were missed.

"Put!"

Another round of boulders smashed out, and the durability of the pass dropped again.

In addition to the upgrade of the pass and the city wall, the city defense point can also be studied through the new construction workshop to unlock the upper limit of the city defense of the small city, so that even if there is no upgrade, the small city and the pass will be particularly strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Of course, after unlocking, it also costs a lot of money to build a city defense to improve the city defense points, and it is obvious that Pinguo did not spend much money on this pass.

Boom!

There was another loud bang, and a boulder smashed all the pillars on the city's head!

Chen Tang drew his sword, pointed to the front and shouted, "Go on!" Today's general, I will take you to the imperial capital of Pinguo, attack the city and break the pool, earn military merits, and seal your wife and son! ”
