Text: Rising from the City_Chapter 124 Ling Xue'er
Two days later, Wang Ping led his army of 60,000 and finally opened a fortified city that stood in his way. The guards in this city reached more than 4,000 people, and Wang Ping fought for five or six days in a row before taking it.
At this time, the 20,000 cavalry led by Ma Chao and Luo Cheng had once again obtained a city and built two cavalry bases. As a result, it easily cut off the rear of the Alliance's strength and material support for the front-line army. As a result, the alliance army on the front line began to lack food and clothing, and after the weapons were worn out, they could not be replaced with new equipment immediately.
Bruce also led a force of 20,000 servants to storm cities and land within the Alliance. After taking the three cities, Bruce led an army of more than 15,000 servants and began to attack in all directions.
In just a few days, after Bruce won three cities in one go, he could only be forced to cultivate. The 20,000-strong army lost three or four thousand casualties during this period, and more than two thousand more were killed or wounded.
These soldiers and horses were enough to defend the six cities that had just been gained, and it was simply impossible to attack them. The lack of troops made Bruce's pace stop. However, Wang Ping's footsteps are unwilling to stop. With only 20,000 servants, six cities had already been captured, and even the cavalry units that were unfamiliar with siege warfare had taken two.
This makes Wang Ping's handsome face go there! The friendly troops are all attacking cities and making achievements, but it has been several days since they took a city, which is really embarrassing. I am leading the most elite troops of the Western Expedition Army, but I have reorganized this city, and I am really sorry for my position as the general of Beichen Kingdom. If you can't achieve a lot this time, then you will simply give way when you go back.
Therefore, Wang Ping is very angry now!
The general was annoyed, the group of soldiers under his command could still be good! As a result, the Nayan army led by Wang Ping began the most frantic attack. In just three hours, after galloping for dozens of miles, Wang Ping led the army to see the city in front of him.
Nothing was said, and the army did not stop to set up camp. Directly carrying the hundreds of siege ladders that had already been built, as well as a few simple crashing logs, he rushed towards the city wall.
Subsequently, in just an hour, the battle was resolved. Of the 2,000 defenders in the city, more than 1,000 were killed and more than 2,000 wounded by Wang Ping's troops. At the cost of the entire city and its 2,000 defenders, all were killed.
After the army entered the city and rested for an hour, after replenishing dry food, water and other supplies, they once again took care of their bags and set out on the journey again under Wang Ping's order.
It wasn't until about * o'clock in the evening that the troops led by Wang Ping once again broke a city of alliance forces. When the city gate was broken, tens of thousands of troops poured into the narrow city gate hole. It didn't take long for more than 30,000 decapitated soldiers to rush into the city.
In half an hour, all the 3,000 defenders in the city were wiped out. Three thousand, either die or surrender!
After all the armies entered the city, they directly found a place to nest and began to sleep. In the course of this day, these tens of thousands of soldiers were really tired and half dead.
From six o'clock in the morning the army assembled, followed by a three-hour march. Then it took an hour to break a city. Before he had an hour's rest in the city, he set off again. Then, before lunch, I came to an enemy city again. It took more than an hour for the army to break the city.
After breaking through the enemy city this time, the army did not rest at all, and directly passed through the city. After leaving some of the guards behind, they began to rush towards the current city. Lunch was spent on the hurried march, nibbling on some dry food and drinking some water.
At nearly seven o'clock in the evening, the remaining 40,000 men arrived in front of the present city. Then, after only a quarter of an hour's rest, the siege began.
As a result of the continuous march of nearly a hundred miles in one day, two of the most laborious siege battles were fought. The physical strength of the Beichen soldiers had already been exhausted, and in just half an hour, the Beichen army was not allowed to recover a little bit of physical strength at all. I can only change two breaths, so as not to gasp to death.
It is very dangerous to storm an enemy city with a weary army. However, Wang Ping is not afraid, nor is he confused by meritorious deeds. Wang Ping had his own judgment in his heart, this 40,000-strong army was not a tired army that had been running for a day, but it was no problem at all to capture a city guarded by only two or three thousand people.
After all, these tens of thousands of soldiers are the most elite troops in this Western Expedition. Except for the two veteran associations that were not as good as those staying in Donglin City, the rest of the troops, they all shouted on the board.
The fact is indeed as Wang Ping expected, although the army is tired, but still relying on that perseverance, the city was broken. Of course, the city wall was not attacked, but was smashed open by hitting the gate of the Mujiang River. Only then did the army enter the city!
broke the enemy's city, and the strength that had been holding back also relaxed. After casually clearing the city of threats, tens of thousands of soldiers began to find a place to sleep. Even, I even took care of eating dinner at night, so I just buried my head in sleep.
On this day, Wang Ping led 60,000 horses from the morning until nearly nine o'clock in the evening. In one day, they traveled more than 110 miles in a row, during which they broke through three enemy cities. However, the casualties of the army were less than 10,000, with more than 2,700 killed, more than 600 seriously wounded, and more than 4,000 lightly wounded. Hundreds of soldiers, exhausted from the rapid march on the road, were also assigned to the lightly wounded battalion.
At this time, Wang Ping, Ma Chao, Luo Cheng and Bruce, the 100,000 army led by the four Beichen generals, had already occupied twelve alliance cities. In just a few days, the alliance forces were left with only five cities. It can be said that the entire alliance power can already be regarded as extinct at this time.
If the alliance forces still use seventeen cities, they can still fight against the 300,000 troops of the Beichen Kingdom. But now, twelve of the seventeen cities have been occupied by the Beichen Kingdom. Relying on the only five remaining cities, those seventeen players had no chance to turn the book at all.
On the second day, not only Zhang Han's got the news, but even the seventeen players of the alliance forces on the opposite side also got the news. At this moment, these seventeen players could no longer sit still, but in the face of Zhang Han's remaining 180,000 troops, they still had no choice.
A few days ago, the seventeen bigwigs thought about the army withdrawing and defending the city. However, just when the army was leaving, Zhang Han, a bastard, came over to make trouble. The army of hundreds of thousands pressed forward, and these seventeen players had to stop and pack their luggage, and command the 100,000 troops under their hands to fully deal with Zhang Han's attack.
In this way, for several days in a row, the main force of the alliance army still did not move a single step, and all of them were completely contained in this small camp by Zhang Han.
Don't look at the time of the past few days, Zhang Han has not defeated the large camp of the alliance army, but the 100,000 troops of the alliance army are still uncomfortable. The rear was completely cut off by the enemy, and only a few cities behind the army remained. But what can these cities do?
Originally, these cities had been facing the threat of Fanta City, and agriculture and commerce had not been well developed. Now, as soon as the Beichen army arrived, these cities were under full martial law. All the farmland was deserted, and all the food and grass consumed by the alliance army on the expedition relied on the twelve cities in the rear for blood transfusion.
But two days ago, the materials transported by more than ten cities were cut off by Ma Chao and Luo Cheng's cavalry. The 100,000-strong army survived only on the food and grass accumulated in the camp. Yesterday, however, the barracks were completely exhausted.
Originally, the 100,000 army that was expecting a batch of grain and grass to be sent from the rear waited for such a thunderbolt on a sunny day. The twelve cities in the rear have already been occupied by the enemy? Then what kind of battle are we still fighting in front, the daughter-in-law and the parents of the children in my hometown have been captured, what is the use of working the front line!
Besides, the army is now out of food, and there is no way to fight if you want to! As long as the Beichen army surrounds the camp, there is no need to attack, or in two days, the 100,000 troops in the camp will not have the strength to fight at all.
It's just that the house leaks and rains!
The army had no food and grass, and had been hungry all night last night, and the next morning the news came from the camp that the rear had been completely occupied. At this time, Zhang Han led his 180,000 army outside the camp.
Look at the neatly lined eighteen red phalanxes outside the camp, interspersed with numerous nest carts and siege cones. There were hundreds of catapults in the back, and huge rocks had been moved to the vicinity of the catapults, and it seemed that they could attack at any time.
Seventeen players of the alliance forces and more than a dozen generals, there is not a single one who does not scold Zhang Han in his heart. This bastard must have known the news from the rear of his forces, so he led a large army to attack the camp.
But if you scold in your heart, you can't scold Zhang Han away! What should I do now, the 180,000 Beichen army is pressing, and with the 100,000 soldiers in the camp who have been hungry all night, what can they do until now?
Zhang Han led Hua Rong, Lian Ming and other generals, standing on the command chariot, looking at the big camp not far away. The corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and he smiled in his heart.
This group of stupid hats, more than a dozen cities behind them have been forcibly occupied, and they are still carrying themselves here, not just looking for death. If it were him, if an enemy appeared in the abdomen, he would definitely pull the army back as soon as possible. It doesn't matter how many enemies rush into your stomach, let's defend first.
After all, facing the pressure of 200,000 troops head-on, the troops were already at a disadvantage. When there is an enemy in your rear, if you don't defend yourself, there is really no way to describe it except for looking for death.
Not to mention the number of enemies rushing into the rear, even if there are only so many thousands, it is a great threat to the convoy. And when the army goes out, the most important thing is grain and grass. No matter how sharp your weapon is, your armor is strong. When soldiers don't have enough to eat, do they still have the ability to put on armor and pick up weapons in their hands?
Since, you are looking for death, then I, Zhang Han, are welcome!
The battle with Xiang Liang established the prestige of the general, and the battle with Xiang Yu completely collapsed in an instant. However, in this world, I, Zhang Han, will reinvent my glory again!
With a bang, Zhang Han pulled out the sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the camp of the Alliance Army. Then, he was about to shout an attack to rebuild his glory.
Who knows, in the alliance camp, a white flag was slowly raised!
"it!"
These two words came out of Zhang Han's mouth on the spot! Hua Rong and Lian Ming, who were standing behind Zhang Han, suddenly stumbled, no one thought that this most powerful military general at the end of the ancient Qin Dynasty would actually burst out with such a foul language.
In the hearts of the two of them, Zhang Han, the most powerful commander of the first army in the late Qin period, was a noble nobleman, and his education must have been very good, but now after hearing such a foul language, the two of them can be regarded as understanding.
At the end of the day, Zhang Han is still a figure in the army, and under the eyes of many big-headed soldiers, it is naturally indispensable to some customs in the army. It has the appearance of a nobleman, but also has the roughness of the army.
Zhang Han looked at the raised white flag, and suddenly lost his temper. If they want to surrender, they can't refuse, if that is the case, then they will have to use the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers to defeat the enemy. It's really an extra move, and it is not worth it to increase the casualties of his subordinates and reduce his own merits!
It's a big deal that after the enemy surrendered, he also learned to be the famous general of the dynasty, General Bai Qi, and slaughtered these prisoners. In that case, it is much stronger than losing tens of thousands of horses after attacking by himself.
When the Alliance raised the white flag, the alliance of seventeen players declared complete defeat at this moment. Zhang Han accepted the surrender of the Alliance army, but did not do anything to slaughter the prisoners afterwards.
This is also thanks to a herald sent by Xiao Chen!
It turned out that Xiao Chen had never worried that the army would fail after winning successive battles. However, after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, a more serious problem came to mind, that is, most of the generals of the Qin Dynasty had experience in slaughter. That's not a good thing!
Wang Ping and Bruce don't have to worry, they all know their country's strategy, but Zhang Han doesn't understand. If Zhang Han was moved by his mind and directly came to a massacre, then he would not have to cry to death!
The alliance of seventeen players has 200,000 strong soldiers. Even if tens of thousands of soldiers were killed in battle, at least more than 120,000 strong soldiers could be left. Even if these 120,000 soldiers can't be incorporated into the army of servants, if they plough the land, they can still plant millions of acres of fields, which is a huge amount of grain and grass.
Besides, in addition to those who are strong soldiers, there must be more than a million ordinary people in the seventeen cities within the entire alliance. Even if all those old and weak women and children are killed, the young and strong can still leave hundreds of thousands. If this guy is slaughtered by Zhang Han's guy in one go, then what will he play in the future!
Therefore, after Xiao Chen thought of this, he hurriedly asked his guards to eat their tokens and run to the front-line camp to give orders. Fortunately, the guards seemed to know the seriousness of the matter, and they changed horses and people along the way, and finally rushed to the large military camp before they were about to slaughter those small soldiers after Zhang Han killed the seventeen monarchs.
Then the matter is simple, since the young man can't be slaughtered, then I will kill those old and weak and your boss will not care anymore. Besides, killing those useless old and weak is only good for Beichen Kingdom, not bad.
So, after Zhang Han left behind tens of thousands of soldiers and guards and 100,000 troops, he led the army to attack the five remaining alliance power cities.
The main army surrendered to the enemy, and the remaining ten or so cities were all occupied by the Beichen Kingdom. The remaining five cities did not resist, and after the arrival of the army, they directly opened the city gates and surrendered.
Accordingly! The alliance of seventeen European players has been completely swallowed up by the Beichen Kingdom!
