Chapter 267, Unification (3) (Collect, Subscribe)

Tai Shici is still waiting for an opportunity, and He Qi's side is already in full swing, and it is tragic.

After several days of fierce competition, the Shanyue coalition army paid the price of tens of thousands of people, and finally filled a large section of the moat in Yan County, and was able to officially enter the city to fight.

Shanyue didn't have decent siege equipment, and of course the bandits couldn't have it, all they had was a ladder, a medium-sized ladder, enough to climb the low city wall of Yanxian County.

But Si was never the same, I don't know from there, he actually made two siege vehicles, and he didn't use this thing himself, but handed it over to the Shanyue people, who were the main force of the siege.

"In a hurry, it is impossible for them to make a siege vehicle, even if it is only a small siege vehicle, it is not possible to make it in a short period of time, could it be that the Si family has long had the intention of rebelling, and actually secretly hid such a forbidden war weapon?" On the city tower, the county lieutenant of Yan County said incredulously.

After the moat was filled, Yamakoshi put out the two siege vehicles, which caused great psychological pressure on the defenders on the castle tower.

"Not necessarily, maybe the Si family has drawings and can make them themselves, after all, it's just a small siege vehicle, and it's not too long to have a master carpenter to supervise it. But the county magistrate, this thing has done too much damage to the city walls and gates, and he must find a way to destroy it. The county man was also on the city tower and saw these two siege vehicles.

"What's the panic, isn't it just two small siege vehicles? Do you think that the wall under your feet is papier-mâché and shatters with a blow? Cheer up, go to their respective defense areas, keep your eyes open, and don't let the enemy take advantage of the loopholes. He Qi reprimanded.

To be honest, for these two siege vehicles, He Qi really didn't pay attention to it, if he could easily break through the city wall in this way, then in Nanyang, Huangfu Song had so many siege equipment, and he would not be helpless to take a Wancheng.

Siege engines are not rushing carts, they can suppress the archers on the walls; It's not a well fence, which can directly help soldiers and others to get up to the city wall; Not to mention a catapult, which can attack the city walls from a distance. It had to be close to the city walls in order to function. And if you want to rely on two small siege vehicles to break through the city gate while the counterattack power is still alive, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream, and it is really a vegetarian to think that the countless rolling stones and trees in the city are vegetarians!

Shanyue launched these two siege vehicles, which was just to increase some pressure on the soldiers in the city, but unfortunately He Qi was not fooled. Of course, if the number of siege vehicles is large enough, regardless of the losses, it is possible to break through the city gates. In addition, Yamagoe can only climb the ladder.

He Qi's self-confidence was not without reason, after Shanyue put out two siege vehicles, he did not directly enter the battlefield, but still relied on cloud ladders to attack the city. One can imagine how difficult it is to attack a city like this and how serious the losses are.

He Qi's defense was very tight, the soldiers were sufficient, and there was no need to take risks, and he kept Shanyue under the city.

After a few more days, two siege engines appeared again in the Shanyue army, and He Qi was already sure that the Sicong family could make such siege vehicles. Not only that, but Yamagoe took advantage of a siege to gain some upper hand, and directly pushed out the siege vehicle to prepare to storm the city gate. It's a pity that they didn't expect that they could gain the upper hand in the siege, which was a flaw deliberately sold by He Qi. So when their siege engines arrived at the city, they were directly overwhelmed by a huge amount of rolling stones. Of the 4 siege vehicles, only one escaped with wounds.

San'in has already begun to be attacked, relatively speaking, there is no difference between Shanyue, Shanyue and Yanxian, but there are more people, but the siege equipment is much more advanced. Jiao Jiao not only made small siege vehicles, but also medium-sized siege vehicles and small charging vehicles to suppress the archers on the city wall.

The Shanyue and others in the three southern counties have finally gone far enough and are ready to assemble and march towards Yongning together. Tai Shici only left 50,000 troops, and took the rest of the troops to go directly to meet Shanyue in Zhang'an County, preparing to kill this road first.

"Gather everyone here today, it's still an old issue, to discuss the war." He Qi once again convened his subordinates in the middle of the night to discuss the matter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Shanyue, bandits and Sicong, besieged on three sides, the main force is, of course, Shanyue, with more than 300,000 at the south gate. The other two sides are to contain our troops, and the siege is not strong. But so far, we have been passively beaten for more than ten days, and Sanyin City has already been attacked. He Qi looked at his subordinates and said.

"According to the intention of Lord Taishou, after Tai Shici, the commander of Yongning in the south, led the troops to pacify the south, he returned to help Shanyin and attacked Shanyue. All we are asked of is to hold back the rebels in our county. But the official doesn't want to do this, no matter what a big victory is needed to prove that the official and everyone present can do better. Not only can you defeat your enemies, but you can also support the county. ”

"In the past ten days, Shanyue's losses have also been very large, at least more than 100,000 losses, and we only have 30,000 or 40,000, they have become a tired army, and it is time for us to counterattack. This officer has decided to start a counterattack early tomorrow morning, and you are mentally prepared. ”

"There is no need to worry about victory or defeat, the victory must be ours, because tomorrow, this official will personally lead the troops out of the city. Now, let's get ready! He Qi calmly stated his plan.

"My lord, as the head of a county, you are highly anticipated, and you should not venture out of the city." Li Xiancheng persuaded.

"No, you don't understand, this time, this official must take the risk himself." He Qi insisted. Because he knows his flaws, he is too young and has no prestige, and only by showing his ability can he subdue the hearts of the soldiers under his command and the hearts of the people of Yanxian County.

Because it was a coalition army, there was no one with prestige to integrate the three sides, so the besieging side attacked from three sides. Si Cong and his family's private army contained the troops of Yan County at the East Gate.

"Damn, if it weren't for Naheqi bringing 100,000 men, how could the siege be so laborious? After transferring so many people out, is it not afraid that Taishou will not be afraid of the fall of Shanyin? Tomorrow, we must let Shanyue make more efforts to break through the county as soon as possible, so much money cannot be spent in vain, and the county seat must be broken. In a military tent outside the east gate, Si Cong roared angrily.

Speaking of which, among the three forces, the weakest is still the private soldiers of the Si Cong family. Not only are there only 50,000 in number, but they have not experienced any war, and even the bandits of Simon are stronger than them. But in public and private, they all have to come, even if they are only acting on the battlefield and never try to attack the city seriously. For Shanyue's siege, Si Cong took it for granted that Shanyue did not do his best.

The next day, Si Cong was just about to attack the city after dinner, but found that the east gate of Yan County was opened, and tens of thousands of troops came from Yuguan, under the leadership of the county magistrate He Qi, ready to meet Si Cong's private soldiers head-on.

This is Heqi's countermeasure, concentrating superior forces and first eliminating the weakest enemy at the East Gate.

"He Qi, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops, you still dare to come out, today, I will sacrifice your head to my dead eldest brother." Seeing Heqi from afar, Sicong roared.

Roaring and roaring, but Si Cong also knew the combat effectiveness of the people he led, and while talking, he motioned to the people around him to go to the south gate to notify Shan Yue to come to help.

"What is there to be afraid of this official, but you are obedient, colluding with the Shanyue rebellion, this is a big crime of extermination, wait, today is your death." He Qi said coldly.

"Who won't let go of the cruel words, and the hand of the deer is unknown!" Si understood from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't show weakness in his mouth, and he still struggled.

"Then wait and see!" He Qi said in a deep voice, "Someone will set up a formation, prepare for the arrow front formation, target the enemy camp, rush over, and capture Si Cong alive." Regardless of Si Cong's threat, seeing that the army behind him was ready, He Qi immediately opened his mouth and ordered an attack. (To be continued.) )
