Chapter 340: Inferior Situation
In this way, it took six days, and Yidu also held on, and both sides also suffered damage, Yidu lost almost 30,000 people, but Da Zhou lost at least 50,000.
Even if the Great Zhou army had the advantage in numbers, because it was the besieging party, it was obvious that it could not take advantage of the battle for a long time.
The corpses of each day are piled up in a mountain, and then they are disposed of, turned into ashes, and completely disappeared from this world.
Even if they keep Yidu, everyone's expressions are heavy, maybe tomorrow they will be one of the corpses, and they will never be able to return to their parents, wives and children.
Until the seventh day, Dugu Qianjun and Prime Minister Song Cheng appeared at the same time, which made Ji Ruhuan frown.
These two people had never appeared before, and when they suddenly appeared on the battlefield at this time, Ji Ruhuan was a little apprehensive in her heart, and she always had a bad premonition.
Waiting for those siege vehicles and catapults unique to the Ming Dynasty to appear on the battlefield, Ji Ruhuan knew that his premonition had come true.
In particular, the huge siege vehicle that was as hard as an iron house used to be a great weapon in the siege warfare of the Ming Dynasty, but now it has become a tool for the Great Zhou to attack the Ming Dynasty.
Looking at Dugu Qianjun and Prime Minister Song Cheng on horseback in the distance outside the city, everyone gritted their teeth with hatred.
Looking at the siege vehicle, Ji Chengmu said with a dark face, "As for the city gate of Yidu, I am afraid that we will not be able to withstand the attack of this siege vehicle, so we must score a part of the brave soldiers to defend the city gate." ”
Ji Ruhuan pursed her lips and responded, "The people I brought are powerful, I'll take people with me, and I'll leave the rest to you." ”
Now that Daming's siege vehicles and catapults have appeared, the remaining powerful weapons unique to Daming will not be less, and they are about to face a tough battle, which is definitely not as easy as before.
I already knew that my sister today was no longer the sister I was at the beginning, Ji Chengmu nodded without hesitation, and instructed, "Be careful yourself." ”
Ji Ruhuan nodded, and said to Xiao Jin on the side, "Notify Fenglei, gather all the teams, and go to the city gate to wait." ”
Feng Changzhi and the others were gathered at the gate of the city, and they were still a little unclear, "Aren't we helping on the city tower?"
Ji Ruhuan pursed her lips and replied, "Starting today, our task is to guard the city gate, and we must not let the Great Zhou army step into Yidu by half a step." ”
Feng Changzhi glanced at the closed city gate, and the strong men who were always ready to resist the city gate were specially selected, "Aren't they there?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rumbling sound from the closed city gate, and such a big battle startled Feng Changzhi and everyone.
And the strong men inside the gate also began to exert their strength, and they resisted the city gate in an orderly manner.
Seeing the crumbling city gate being attacked, Feng Changzhi couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and Feng Lei calmly ordered his subordinates to go over and help.
But the area of the city gate is so large, it is not enough to defend it with many people, they can only watch the huge city gate more and more crumbling in the roar.
Seeing that he couldn't hold on, Ji Ruhuan said loudly, "A team of two thousand people, take turns to guard the city gate, and never let the Great Zhou army rush in." ”
Feng Lei and the others did not dare to delay, and quickly divided the team, and Ji Ruhuan took the first two thousand people to guard the city gate.
These two thousand people are all people who are brave and martial, and all of them are good hands, and Ji Ruhuan also wants to increase the momentum of his own people and destroy the prestige of the Great Zhou Army.
As soon as the city gate was broken, the Great Zhou army piled up huge siege vehicles as the vanguard, and the Great Zhou soldiers behind poured in like a spring.
However, the siege vehicle was directly stopped by Feng Changwu and others, and Ji Ruhuan flew on the roof of the siege vehicle with Feng Changzhi and others, and the silver whip and long sword in his hand unceremoniously greeted the Great Zhou army that rushed in, and the call was fatal.
The siege vehicles below were also quickly controlled by Feng Changwu, and it became a natural barrier at the gate of the city.
The Great Zhou army was still rushing in waves, but the narrow terrain at the gate gave the skilled Ji Ruhuan and others an advantage, and easily stopped the Great Zhou army outside the city gate, so that they couldn't rush in at all.
But apparently the Liaodong Army and the Northern Army on the city tower were not so easy, the addition of catapults caused them huge losses, and at this time with the unique bow and crossbow of the Ming Dynasty, the lethality of this arrow rain was obviously more than double that of the previous arrow rain, so that the Ming defenders were overwhelmed and in a hurry.
Moreover, the Great Zhou army seems to have a posture of not giving up until it is profitable, and has no intention of a truce at all, and round after round of attacks has made the Ming defenders even more exhausted.
At the gate of the city, a high mountain of corpses has been piled up, and the Great Zhou army seems to have red eyes, and continues to rush forward without dying, and the corpses continue to pile up at the gate of Yidu City.
The sky gradually darkened, and seeing that the city gates were almost covered by corpses, and the city tower had not been able to be attacked for a long time, Da Zhou stopped attacking.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the city gate was broken, and everyone did not dare to take it lightly, so they sat on the ground at their posts, took out the dry food they carried with them, and rested while gnawing.
In just one day, the Ming defenders lost 20,000, and on the side of the Great Zhou Army, the arrival of Dugu Qianjun and Song Qiangde obviously made the team of the Great Zhou Army stronger, and it should have brought a lot of reinforcements over.
Obviously, the Great Zhou army is bound to win Yidu this time, and now there are only more than 100,000 people left in this Yidu, and there will be some threats to the Great Zhou army.
In the face of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Great Zhou, other resistances are no longer to be feared, and the Great Zhou army can completely wave its army south and go straight to the Ming Dynasty.
Since Dugu Qianjun and Song Qiangde came, the Great Zhou Army began to play cards out of common sense, often sneaking up in the middle of the night.
In this way, the defenders of Yidu can only stay at their posts and close their eyes to rest, and they must be ready to fight whenever there is movement.
The purpose is obvious, that is, to consume the Yidu defenders step by step.
Ji Ruhuan took the wind and thunder with them, and they have been guarding the gate of Yidu City day and night for several days, and when they were tired, they retreated to the back and rested against the corner of the wall to close their eyes and rest for a while, and continued to guard the city gate when they woke up.
One by one, they have long since lost their glamorous beauty, even Sister Ling, who pays the most attention to her own image, has long lost her former brilliance.
Ji Ruhuan sat on the roof of the siege vehicle that was red with blood at the city gate, holding a pot of cold liquor in his hand, and poured a sip of wine into his mouth with the smell of blood that he had long been accustomed to, looked at the faint fire in the distance, and said to the second brother on the side, "It's almost the New Year." ”
Ji Chengmu stretched out his hand and rubbed Ji Ruhuan's head, pursed his lips and responded, "Are you homesick?"
Ji Ruhuan shook his head, "With us dragging Da Zhou, the family can finally have a stable year." ”
Ji Chengmu sighed and didn't speak, their life and death outside were uncertain, how could the people in the family be stable this year?
