Text: The Great Power Battle_Chapter 239 The Conquest of Sharu
December 8th, 4th year of the Beacon Continent Era.
The monarch of the Buni Kingdom once again summoned his generals and prepared to deal with the Beichen army that had broken through the Haul Pass and was about to arrive in the capital. The Beichen Army on the South Road is the main force, with a strength of up to eight million, which cannot be despised by everyone. After deliberating with the boss for a while, the monarch of the Buni Kingdom had to take the advice of the general and once again gather hundreds of thousands of militia to participate in the defense of the city, so as to achieve the purpose of delaying time.
But when everyone agreed on everything, another guard reported that the city of Ulan had been broken by the 800,000 Beichen troops who had landed. Moreover, after the Beichen army took Ulan, they kept killing towards the capital. This news surprised everyone here again, and this is really a disaster. Well, now that the strategy of defending the city has been decided, it is not worse for the Beichen army to have hundreds of thousands.
It's just that there has been no news from this Xia Kingdom so far, which is really worrying.
At this time, in the easternmost city of the Xia Kingdom, Plain City, eighty miles to the east, a knight in tattered clothes was driving a fast horse to Pingyuan City.
In the afternoon of the same day, Xiao Chen, together with Yue Fei and other former army generals, led 7.5 million soldiers and horses to 30 miles outside the south gate of the capital of Buni Kingdom. Encamped, the camp surrounded the capital of the Buni kingdom, and surrounded the city to death. The rest of the army of more than 300,000 troops, divided into troops, crossed the city of Buni, and attacked the remaining ten cities of the Buni country.
"Haha, it's only been seven days since we fought, and the country of Buni has been brought to the capital by our soldiers, and Marshal Yue should be regarded as a familiar merit." Xiao Chen sat at the head of the big tent of the Chinese army, looked at Yue Fei with a smile and said. This battle was indeed beautiful, especially when attacking Haoyi Pass, it was even more surprising to fall to the ground.
It took just over a day for the first time for Beichen Kingdom to attack the pass garrisoned by 500,000 elite troops, which was simply a miracle. That's 500,000 elite troops, but it's not the militia. Moreover, the defenders in the pass definitely had a lot of supplies, so they fought a beautiful battle.
The corners of Yue Fei's mouth crooked, and then he hurriedly calmed down and said, "The king has praised it, this time Fei was able to achieve such a big victory, thanks to the lives of all the soldiers!" ”
The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth twitched, you are still weird and serious, fuck. I don't know what kind of happiness has become, and I will use my life.
"Hmm~ good! Now that our millions of troops have besieged the capital of Buni Kingdom, everyone is talking about persuasion or direct attack! ”
"King, let's attack directly, we have an advantage in strength, why waste time to persuade us to surrender!" Du Dazhuang said in a loud voice, but he expressed the thoughts of many generals.
Xiao Chen was about to say something, when he saw Yue Fei, who had just made a great contribution, stand up and said, "King, General Du is right. Persuasion is not only a waste of time, but the enemy may also take the opportunity to prepare more arrangements, and we will not gain more than we lose. ”
Seeing that the number one boss in the military said he was unwilling, Xiao Chen had no choice but to give up persuasion. Although there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in the capital of Buni Kingdom, they are just some militiamen, and the Beichen army will not have any big losses if they want to capture it.
"That's fine, who will be the first unit to participate in the siege!"
As soon as Xiao Chen's words fell, Du Dazhuang stood up and said, "King, let us go to the guards, and I promise that I will take the enemy's capital before dinner today." ”
Listening to Lao Du's words, Xiao Chen was happy in his heart. This is the real general, he will attack and take down the city with at least 500,000 people stationed in one afternoon, and the city wall is 18 meters high, and he has ambition! It's just, you're a shit, do you have that ability?
Regarding Du Dazhuang's nonsense, Xiao Chen was just happy, and then he treated it as a child's words!
"King, let us the Royal Army definitely take this city as soon as possible!" Hua Rong stood up and said.
Xiao Chen nodded, and then gave up Hua Rong's suggestion. There are many servant troops under him, so why bother to attack the city with elite troops, we are not stupid.
After a while, almost all the generals were clamoring for their troops to get up. Even Ma Chao said that he wanted to participate in the siege, but Xiao Chen was angry. What kind of troops is under Ma Chao's hands, it is the cavalry of Beichen Kingdom. And the entire Beichen Kingdom has millions of infantry, but the cavalry is only 200,000, this bastard actually wants to lead the cavalry to attack the city!
Damn, is your head caught in the door, or is it in my head? Don't you see that I am not even willing to pull out the royal troops to attack the city, you are good, you actually pulled your precious cavalry to attack the city.
The final result was that Ma Chao was thrown out of the big tent by Xiao Chen and Yue Fei.
After a long quarrel, within two hours, the Beichen army finally decided which army would attack the city first. Beichen State Servant General, Auxiliary General rank. The 1.9 million servant army under his command launched the first attack of the Beichen Army on the capital of the Buni Kingdom. However, the attack was delayed until the early morning of the next day.
Because of the long discussion of military affairs, when everyone finally agreed on which unit would start the attack, they found that it was already a little late outside. There was no way, the big guy had to have dinner and wait for the siege to take place tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Xiao Chen crawled out of the quilt in a huff, and he didn't even care about the fair-skinned European beauties around him. Put on his clothes and ran outside the tent, as soon as he opened the big tent, and without waiting for the guards guarding the tent curtain to salute, Xiao Chen scolded: "Who the fuck has nothing to do and beat the drum, and let people not sleep, dog!" ”
In the surprised eyes of the two guards, Xiao Chen roared and got into the tent again. Then, after a while, the rumbling of last night came from the tent.
………………
Yue Fei led a group of generals, standing on a high platform, looking at the servants and soldiers who were already attacking the city in front of him. More than 100,000 servant soldiers, with the assistance of hundreds of siege weapons, have erected a large number of ladders on the city walls. However, the soldiers who kept falling from the ladder showed how difficult the battle was.
The servants and soldiers guarding the city walls began to climb the ladder without doing anything. Currently, the only way to enter the city is to climb the ladder. The area at the city gate had long been in chaos, and countless servants and soldiers had gathered at the city gate.
A super huge siege cone was constantly pounding the city gate, but the city gate was always crumbling, making the surrounding servant soldiers so anxious that they scolded their mother. You know, stay at the city gate, it is definitely the first place for the defenders to gather fire. The gates were broken open a little later, and countless robes were killed by the enemies on the walls.
Therefore, every servant soldier was in a hurry, but there was no way to open the city gate for a long time. At this time, the position of the city gate had fallen to the ground of the servant sergeant.
This siege battle was still quite tragic, although most of the defenders were militiamen, but the Beichen army was not a god. If a stone is thrown by the defenders above, it will still be dead. A large number of soldiers fell under the city walls, and countless soldiers who were still alive were still climbing the city walls.
The most difficult part of the siege is the time when you climb the ladder, during which the soldiers who ascend the city cannot counterattack, and even the defense is very difficult. Even if the sword and shield soldier is holding a shield, he cannot withstand the impact of a stone or wood. However, it is not necessarily the case when someone climbs the city wall, and this is also the difference between the elite soldiers defending the city and the militia defending the city.
Once someone from the besieging side comes to the wall from the top of the ladder, the defender will be able to drive the enemy down the wall if they are elite. If the defending side of the city is a militia with little combat experience, this situation will arise. After a servant sergeant successfully climbed the city wall, the knife in his hand became a tool of slaughter. Some of the surrounding militia were completely suppressed by this servant soldier in terms of combat skills.
Of course, the fate of the first servant soldier to climb the city wall was very miserable. He was pierced by six spears and pushed off the wall. However, this valiant soldier bought a good opportunity for his teammates behind him.
By the time the defenders had killed the first servant to climb the wall, two more had already taken the opportunity to climb the wall. Afterwards, a fierce battle began with the surrounding defenders. There were more and more soldiers on the city wall along the ladder behind him, and the battle on this section of the city wall became more and more fierce.
Soon, the battle area was expanded to include several adjacent sections of the wall. The sudden arrival of the enemy stunned the defenders of several sections of the surrounding city wall. Then, he gave up the Beichen army that continued to attack the cloud ladder below and participated in the battle on the city wall.
Without the defenders on the city walls, there were more servants who came up the ladder. By this time of the battle, the defenders had lost a large part of their walls, and more and more of them were falling. This is already a situation in which the Beichen Army is about to win, and the generals of the Beichen Army on the high platform are all smiling when they see this scene.
After all, if you can take the capital of Buni with just this round of attacks, it will definitely be a great credit.
However, things are always unexpected.
Just when the number of servants and soldiers on the city wall increased, and the battle was about to be won. Suddenly, a fire directly ignited all around the capital of Buni Kingdom, and many servant soldiers did not react, and they drowned in the sea of fire.
"What's going on? Quick, let people check it out! Yue Fei was hit hard by the sudden fire, no one thought that there would be a fire at this time.
After a while, some soldiers reported quickly: "The defenders of the east city and the defenders of the west city have poured a lot of boiling oil into the city, and there are also all kinds of flammable materials. It was only just a moment ago that the defenders set fire to it, because a lot of the oil flowed into the other two walls, so the entire city was covered in flames. ”
Hearing this news, Yue Fei was also greatly disgraced. Although it is normal for the defender of the city to use fire oil, as the commander of the army, he did not know in advance, and that is a mistake. You must know that when the fire was ignited, thousands of soldiers were burned to death. Moreover, there were 50,000 or 60,000 servant soldiers trapped in the sea of fire, and the army outside the fire could not support at all.
"!" Yue Fei scolded fiercely, he was actually scolded by the defender generals, he was really damned! Although the servant army is not the regular battle sequence of the Beichen Kingdom, it is also a part of the military strength of the Beichen Kingdom, and if the loss is large, it will affect the future battles.
Just when Yue Fei was angry, another soldier came to report quickly. "Marshal Qiyu, General Li has already arrived ten miles away with 800,000 sailors."
Yue Fei twisted his brows and said, "Let General Li come over directly, and the army will enter the camp to rest." ”
"No!" The soldier answered, and immediately turned on his horse again and ran into the distance.
At this time, Yue Fei looked at the fire on the outskirts of the city in the distance and sighed. Then he said to the generals around him, "Is there any way to quickly pass through the fire and support the brothers who have fallen in?"
The generals shook their heads for a while, seeing that the fire was five or six meters high, three or four meters away from the city wall, and the distance of the fire was seven or eight meters long. Who can cross the fire over such a long distance!
A group of generals of the Beichen Army stood on the high platform, looking at the fire of the siege, and there was no way to do it. After a while, Li Ancheng quickly came to the high platform with dozens of guards. Then, he hurriedly rushed to the high platform.
As soon as Yue Fei looked back at Li Ancheng who came up, he heard Li Ancheng say: "Marshal, I see that the enemy's capital has been surrounded by fire, but why is our army still stuck in the fire?" The fire is so big that it is impossible to attack the city, why don't you collect the troops first and attack the city again in the next day?"
"General Li doesn't know, it's not that we don't want to Mingjin to withdraw our troops, it's just that tens of thousands of soldiers are trapped in the fire, but we can't think of any way to cross the fire? It can't be, let hundreds of thousands of soldiers watch the trapped soldiers being burned alive! Zhang Han on the side responded.
"Crossing the fire?" Li Ancheng frowned and muttered these four words in his mouth.
When Yue Fei saw Li Ancheng's expression, he immediately said happily: "General Li? Do you have any good ideas?"
Li Ancheng said: "I know a way to do it, but the fire is so big, and I don't know if it's useful!" ”
"General Li, come on, Ben Shuai will find someone to try!"
"There should be a lot of thick quilts in our army, and all the quilts should be soaked with water. Then the soldiers were wrapped in wet quilts, and they could get over the fire! ”
"The quilt is only flocculent, and it is flammable, I'm afraid this method will not work!" Ma Chao on the side said depressedly.
"Feasible!" Suddenly, there was a loud shout, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"The last general will wait to see the king!" As soon as the generals saw the comer, they immediately saluted and said.
Xiao Chen looked at the generals who saluted, and hurriedly said: "Get up, Pengju, the method An Cheng said is completely fine, hurry up and order the soldiers to execute!" ”
"No!"
Then, in a short time, countless wet quilts passed under the high platform and rushed to the battlefield ahead. After the quilt was soaked, it became very heavy, and it was not an ordinary soldier who could run hundreds of meters on his back. Therefore, Yue Fei deliberately selected 30,000 powerful men from the army to carry wet quilts.
These 30,000 horses carried more than 100 catties of wet quilts, were also wearing iron armor, and held steel knives, but they were still walking like flying. This made Xiao Chen, who was staying on the high platform, have a thought in his heart, whether he can form a special force all the time.
More than 30,000 soldiers came to the front of the fire with wet quilts on their backs. The fire was so loud that the roasted people's faces were hot. Tens of thousands of people stopped in front of the fire, not daring to move forward. The surrounding servant soldiers looked at these strangely dressed guys and wondered.
At this time, a super handsome guy stuck his head out of the quilt and said, "Fuck, rush!" Climb a mouth, the dead family has the court to feed! Follow me! ”
After speaking, Ma Chao once again put the quilt on his head and roared before rushing into the fire. Ma Chao was also afraid, didn't he stop for a while just now? It was a big fire, not a small fire, and I don't know if it was dead or alive when I rushed in. Only his unscrupulous and ruthless father-in-law will throw himself inside.
Seeing that Ma Chao, the hussar general, rushed into the fire, the rest of the tens of thousands of soldiers also rushed in with a roar. This scene once again frightened the surrounding servant soldiers. Are these people stupid, wrapped in quilts and rushing into the fire, don't they know that quilts are more likely to burn?
When the servants were puzzled and discussed whether these fools were burned or suffocated. Ma Chao took the lead in running out of the fire, and then hurriedly lifted the quilt on his body. Looking at the fire behind him, as well as some of the charred parts of the quilt, he suddenly swallowed. Damn, that's not fun.
Subsequently, more and more soldiers ran out of the fire. However, the slightest scream from the fire indicates that this method is still very dangerous. If such a large fire runs slowly, it is very likely that the moisture on the wet quilt will evaporate quickly, thus igniting the quilt. In other words, those who survive through the fire are all fast, and those who are slower can only be burned alive.
However, the tall city in front of him surprised the Beichen army who rushed through the fire. At this time, there was no sound of fierce fighting on the city wall, but there was still a sound of fighting in the city, what was going on?
