Chapter 35: Conquering Ping County Again

Shan Tiancheng retreated with the horse thieves and thieves of Qinglong Village, but did not return to Qinglong Village, but gathered in the forest in the distance.

Shan Tiancheng stayed on the horses, and under him were war horses, trained war horses, and the horses that Tian Dan rode when he went out on the expedition before, they were just ordinary horses, and ordinary horses, the number of ordinary horses in the new country was scarce.

It didn't take long for the spies sent by the kobold division to report.

"Owner of the village, I have found out clearly, the soldiers in Mi County are not from Mi County, they are sent by Xinguo."

"Xinguo?"

Shan Tiancheng's eyes looked to the west: "Xinguo? Isn't it just two counties, and they are also worthy of being called a country? How many people did they send in total? ”

"It's not clear, but there should be thousands of them, and the city defense is full of soldiers."

"Thousands of people, this new emperor is very bold, he is a big country, and he dares to send thousands of people, I don't think he has a single legion in the whole country. Walk! ”

The rest of the horse thieves turned on their horses one after another, and the kobold military master asked cautiously, "Where are we going, master?" ”

"Since his new country dares to send soldiers to Mi County, then the two county towns of the new country must be empty, and I will directly defeat his new country and take it down, take the map."

A horse thief pulled out a map from his bosom.

Shan Tiancheng glanced at it and couldn't help laughing: "Let's go, go to Pingxian!" ”

With a large group of horse thieves, Shan Tiancheng killed Xiang Ping County.

Soldiers and the population do not mean the same thing, only trained soldiers can really be put into battle, and ordinary people have no combat power at all, that kind of people's war in the ocean, even in the War of Resistance against Japan, there have only appeared a few times in the real sense, at most it is transportation logistics, and it is impossible to really go to the battlefield.

In the same way, there are only so many soldiers in the new country, as long as these forces are defeated, then no matter how many people in the county town are, they are just lambs to be slaughtered, and the purpose of war is to destroy the living forces.

"Drive!"

Shan Tiancheng took the horse thief and the remaining thieves and went straight to Pingxian, and not long after, a group of people had already appeared in the forest not far from Pingxian.

Shan Tiancheng's eyes narrowed slightly, because he saw that there were many soldiers defending the city of Pingxian.

"Owner of the village, there are also soldiers stationed in Ping County."

"Impossible, where did so many soldiers come from these small countries, Lao Tzu still doesn't know, these small countries don't have enough food, so many soldiers can't pay their salaries, and his new country is not bankrupt?"

After finishing speaking, a hint of fierceness flashed in Shan Tiancheng's eyes.

"Prepare for the siege!"

Wang Xuan is patrolling the head of Pingxian County at the moment, and the soldiers of the new country brought by him are all veterans, who have been trained, and their overall quality is very good.

And before he came, Commander Tian repeatedly explained that he couldn't slack off, and he couldn't lose Pingxian, so Wang Xuan naturally remembered it.

Wang Xuan was dissatisfied with Tian Dan at first, but later with these time getting along, Wang Xuan found that Tian Dan's ability to lead soldiers is very strong, and in terms of training soldiers, the time for a recruit to grow into a soldier can be greatly shortened.

In other words, he was too efficient in his drills.

Therefore, Wang Xuan was naturally convinced.

At this moment, Wang Xuan saw smoke and dust appear not far away, as if a group of cavalry was heading straight to Pingxian.

"Close the gates!"

Wang Xuan reacted and immediately yelled.

The drawbridge in Pingxian County was hurriedly pulled up, and the soldiers hurriedly entered the city, and many soldiers in the city below hurriedly boarded the city defense to help assist in the defense.

The soldiers at the head of the city stared at the horse thieves who rushed in, there were not many ladders in the hands of those bandits, but there were still some sieges.

"Rush!"

Shan Tiancheng yelled.

The bandit ran forward with a ladder in his hand and a shield in his hand.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Wang Xuan also yelled.

Suddenly, the soldiers at the head of the city hurriedly bent their bows and arrows, and the arrows were released unevenly, enveloping the bandits in front.

Puff puff!

Most of these arrows were blocked by the raised wooden shields, and those bandits rushed towards Pingxian as if they were dead.

Put the ladder on the moat, cross the moat, and place the ladder on the city wall.

Wang Xuan was yelling: "Defend the city with all your might!" Put a thief on it, and you're ready to lose your head! ”

There are not many resources to defend the city in Pingxian County, there are not as many arrows and rolling stones as in Mixian before, those soldiers picked up the rolling logs and smashed them down, and several bandits who were climbing on the ladder were all screaming and being smashed down, and several of them were smashed to the point that their heads were deformed.

Some of the ladders were too high and were placed beyond the city, and several soldiers grabbed the ladder directly and pushed it back, and the soldiers in the middle of the ladder suddenly fell down screaming.

One by one, the thieves stepped on the ladder and rushed to the bottom of the protective wall, and continued to swing the ladder, preparing to rush up by force.

Shan Tiancheng was also red-eyed not far away, and yelled: "Chong, continue to rush me!" Who can rush to the wall of Pingxian County, Lao Tzu has a heavy reward, and one person will be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold! ”

Hearing this, those bandit soldiers were red-eyed, as if they had been boosted by their morale, and they worked even harder.

It's just that attacking the city has always required a large number of troops, and the siege began on all sides of a city, so that it could be captured with a high chance, but Shan Tiancheng was only facing a city wall, and he had lost a lot of bandits in Mi County before, so it was extremely difficult to capture Ping County.

A siege is only possible if there are at least four times the number of soldiers defending the city.

At that time, Ma Jian said to Zhuge Liang, "Use troops to attack the heart and attack the city below; Psychological warfare is the top, and military warfare is the bottom", one of the reasons is that the siege loss is too great.

Shan Tiancheng didn't know the art of war, he looked at the thieves who screamed and died, his eyes were red, and he couldn't wait to rush forward.

It's just that the cavalry is not used to siege the city, and if it is changed to infantry, these horses will be useless.

"Ahh

Another bandit fell, and this city wall had a total of nearly nine ladders, and the rest of the ladders did not completely exceed the city, but even so, most of the thieves still couldn't rush up.

The first bandit had already reached the top of the ladder, holding a knife in his right hand, and just wanted to make a move, but he was rushed by a soldier and stabbed to death with a direct shot.

"Hey!!"

With a shot through the heart, the soldier jerked his gun back, and the bandit fell straight down.

The height of the city wall in the game is the lowest in the county, but it is also eight meters high, and if you fall like this, you will inevitably fall to your death.

"Kill!"

The bandits were not afraid of death, and several bandits rushed up on the ladder, but the rolling wood and other items on the city were used up at once.

"Draw your weapons!!"

Wang Xuan roared, he drew his sword, and directly cut off the head of a bandit who rushed to the city.

The blood gushed out, and the head spun and fell.

The rest of the soldiers also drew their weapons one after another and slashed at the bandits who rushed to the city!
