Chapter 728: Fierce Battle
This siege came and went quickly.
After the people at the head of the city were pushed down, the coalition forces withdrew their troops.
These teams of outlaws also retreated quickly, of course, they were not busy, and they were still relatively orderly.
Lin Hong greeted them on the front line, and when he waved his hand, the surrounding troops cheered as if they had won a battle.
More than a thousand corpses were left on the city.
The defenders in the city probably didn't suffer even 500 casualties, but they consumed a little bit of the city's defense equipment.
But I feel that the morale is still higher.
That's a matter of charisma.
It's hard to imagine what kind of poisonous chicken soup Lin Hong poured into those people, and he has already had such a wife after only a long time of contact.
The two people of the Lin family are not ordinary, one has won the hearts of the people, and the other has won the hearts of the army, which is not easy to deal with.
Then the coalition forces slowly retreated, and the veteran commander ordered the commander to keep an eye on the next attack.
On the way back, I found my grandson thinking.
"How can you envy people?"
Yang Su shook his head, "No, grandpa, I'm just curious that he really has such a great charm, and he has such popularity in a plate of scattered sand in just a few days?" β
"You also said that this is not envy, some people are born with this talent, and they can exchange people's trust in a few words, Lin Hong's own talents, qualifications, and identity are the embodiment of his charm, and it is normal to be willing to work for him, and in the future, you will have people who can be worth following, and you will find that you will also be loyal to others like those people today, and willingly, such people have such a leadership temperament."
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? Who am I going to follow? Is there a better goal to follow than you? Grandpa, I remember when you were young and in charge of the army, the other dynasties didn't even have the heart to use force. Yang Su smiled.
The old general reached out and flicked his grandson's skull. "Again, your little mouth is quite sweet, not like your daddy is a lump of wood. Grandpa keeps you by your side now because you still have a lot to learn, and when you're almost done, grandpa has nothing to teach you, and he will definitely let go, goshawks don't thrive in their own nests, they have to soar in the blue sky to grow. Your ability to be around your grandfather will be limited, and you can only feel it if you touch it yourself, and you can transform knowledge into your own motivation to move forward, do you understand? β
Facing the old general's step-by-step teachings, Yang Su nodded a little silently, he already knew this situation in his heart. It's just that he hasn't prepared accordingly, and now he is not a general in charge, but a fledgling under the protection of his parents.
Lin Hong's side also had a relatively satisfactory result, and first simulated a siege to familiarize the people below with the operation.
Boost a wave of morale.
And see if you can find anyone.
The eyes of the martial artists are very good, especially the excellent high cultivators who are martial artists, and their eyesight is definitely not bad.
I can't say that I can see it at a glance, but I can see some key points.
When I found someone helping an old general up.
began to search for familiar figures in my heart and eliminated them one by one.
In the end, the answer was quickly found.
At such an age, you still need someone to help, and there are only a few old people that Linde has the ability to invite out.
The most likely thing to appear is half of his teacher, the veteran Yang Xuan.
This one is an experienced opponent.
At the same time, it also made Lin Hong a little excited, generals like to fight against excellent opponents, if it is some rookies, Lin Hong has no enthusiasm.
If you want to do it now.
The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves.
If you can successfully beat half of your own teachers, it is also a sense of achievement.
It also represents that the younger generation has successfully won over the older generation, becoming a new standard and playing a very important role.
Chen Zheng saw at a glance that Lin Hong's interest was very high, and when he thought of the guards opposite, he knew that this Lin Hong was still a temperamental person in this regard.
This one of the defending cities must be breached, otherwise how could they let the two brothers lose both?
Next, the upper defense of the city will become a meat grinder, constantly consuming the accumulation of two people, and the final fruits of victory are waiting for others to grab.
On the day he returned to the camp, Lin Hong convened a combat meeting with the middle-level and above personnel in the army.
Chen Zheng also listened a little on the sidelines.
There is no trickery, and it is a frontal and dignified battle.
Lin Hong was not ready to continue to probe it. After knowing who the opponent is. The tentative operation is more naΓ―ve.
People are experienced veterans and don't give them too many opportunities.
Lin Hong's plan was to attack in turns.
Now there are nearly 150,000 people here, half of them are elites, and the rest are improvised, and there will be people in the rear from time to time.
Lin Hong is concentrating on fighting the war, and the other forces are responsible for logistics and fighting public opinion warfare, and if they want to win, they must rely on Lin Hong.
Otherwise, unless the upper realm sends troops, the people of these forces will not be able to fight alone.
Therefore, as long as Lin Hongde's requirements are not excessive, they can agree, because they can't come up with such a general to compare with Lin Hong.
The Daxi Dynasty was not monolithic, there was only one voice up and down, since there were those who supported the Lin family and those who were opposed, they finally had an opportunity to deal with the Lin family, and if they didn't take advantage of this opportunity, they might not have a chance in the future.
For this reason, these forces can be said to be tightening their belts in life.
It's easy to say that everything is easy to say if you win, and even if you lose, it's nothing. At least they resisted, not slowly decayed and died.
Now that those forces are ready to compete, Lin Hong can also block it.
Divide the nearly 150,000 people into five pairs, and make sure that each part has a corresponding mix of veterans and newcomers to ensure that it can be guaranteed.
Attack the upper city in five batches without interruption.
While one team is attacking, the other four rest, keeping an eye out for possible attacks from the side or from behind.
In addition to providing assistance through the inner secret passages, the other aspect of the assistance of the other three cities is to send mobile troops to provide assistance from the outside.
For example, cavalry, the possibility of charging and killing is relatively small. But harassment is still possible.
The impact of such a series of attacks on the country is not light, and if it succeeds, it will naturally be fine, but if it fails, the morale of the army will be easily turbulent.
Lin Hong is also gambling.
He gambled that the quality of his personnel could not be said to be sufficient, and the same was true of the defenders on the opposite side.
The strong offensive shook not only the heart on his side, but also the heart on the other side.
Yang Xuan has prestige, but his prestige is for soldiers, as long as he is a soldier, he does not know Yang Xuan's reputation.
But the outlaws won't necessarily buy it.
When they have an emotional breakdown, there is a high risk of mutiny.
Even the phenomenon of camp roaring, it is really easy to take advantage of the chaos to take the city of Shangshou when the time comes.
Lin Hong has a lot of portable siege equipment here, which can be assembled directly. Old friends Chinese network
Today it is only a small part, but tomorrow it will be more.
Today there are only ladders and siege towers, but don't forget that there are catapults, wells and the like that haven't been used yet?
When it comes out tomorrow, it will be a large-scale performance of siege equipment.
Such a high-intensity battle naturally needs to be rewarded, otherwise there will be no enthusiasm.
In addition to Lin Hong's promise of a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and other things, there are also a lot of cultivation resources, which are material stimulation, as well as spiritual, such as family privileges, status, power, and the like.
It is impossible for a person here to be without desires.
Neither do people who have no desires here.
Coupled with Lin Hong's poisonous chicken soup, one by one is like being beaten with chicken blood, and I can't wait to fight with the official army immediately.
After the meeting was over, Lin Hong found Chen Zheng, not for anything else but for assistance.
Lin Hong pointed out that he already knew that the upper realm was betting left and right.
My eldest brother not only knows a little bit of information, but also helps them train the army, and his own side only has some information and nothing else, isn't it a bit biased.
Since you want to compete, you should have a bowl of water, and if you pull the shelf here now, I'm a bit of a loss.
Chen Zheng has already had a way to deal with it.
Also prepared in advance.
He took out a piece of talisman paper and handed it to Lin Hong.
Lin Hong stretched out his hand to take it, and some of the runes on the rune paper he didn't recognize.
Apparently knowledge unknown to them.
"Talismans? What are the specific effects? "For the cognition of the talisman, Lin Hong's memory doesn't seem to be very good.
It can heal, set fireballs and wind blades and thunder, etc., but most of them are single damage, and the area of group attacks is relatively large but not very powerful.
It is also the skill level of the Fengyun Continent that is limited, and the materials are also limited, so it is impossible to exert the power of the talisman.
Chen Zheng slowly introduced the origin of the talisman, which was the barrier-breaking talisman.
It has very strong penetration, and even the energetic defense method of the shield formed by the Yuan Qi can be easily dealt with, let alone against entities.
There are many ways to use it.
It can be used on top of the blade or thrown out.
Of course, it can also be used on some attachments. For example, on a stone or a bow and crossbow for throwing.
Originally, they were piercing damage, and with the barrier breaker, they were really like a tiger.
I am afraid that it is not multiplied when used in siege equipment.
Of course, the amount of use should not be small.
Lin Hong doesn't need to worry about the cost, this batch is provided for free, and then the later ones will have to go to the market price.
After learning that the talisman had such an effect, Lin Hong also sent someone to test it. The crossbow can easily shoot through a layer of iron armor after using the barrier breaker, and the second layer can easily enter the flesh.
It's unusually sharp, and the effect is very good.
Even the crossbow was like that, the stones that were thrown were more powerful, had a powerful impact in themselves, and now had penetrating properties.
If there were no new tricks in defending the city, Lin Hong would be more confident in breaking through it.
Still, he was a little smarter.
"There is such a magical talisman. I don't know if there's a way to crack it. "Lin Hong's concern is whether the upper realm has provided the method of cracking to Linde's side, if that happens, there may be a dramatic scene tomorrow.
And even if it is selling goods on both sides, Lin Hong has no choice, killing Zheng Chen has no impact on the upper realm, no matter how important a person is, he is dead, and if he dies, he cannot be resurrected, or the value of the living is higher.
At that time, what Lin Hong lost was the goodwill and trust of the upper realm, and completely pushed the upper realm to Lin De's side, and when their 8,000 cavalry was dispatched, could so many of them resist it?
Even if you resist, how much will you sacrifice?
It's really unpredictable.
So Lin Hong won't do that stupid thing.
He only needs to know one outcome to deal with.
Chen Zheng smiled, "Of course not, isn't it balanced, while training, it is reasonable to provide props at the same time." β
"Hehehe, okay, what Mr. Zheng said is good, then please ask Mr. Zheng to go down and rest, and wait for tomorrow's siege, it must be a very beautiful scene." Lin Hong had a hint of confidence in his eyes.
"Okay, second son, we'll see." Chen Zheng also smiled back and withdrew.
The atmosphere in the camp was quite lively that night.
Before the war, reward the soldiers well, you can't drink wine, and it's easy to make mistakes if you're greedy for a cup.
If everything is settled, there may be alcohol, and this situation must be noted.
But meat is available openly.
Only when you have enough to eat will you have the strength to fight, and tomorrow you will be able to kill more enemies on the battlefield.
Tomorrow's battlefield will be better than ever.
Chen Zheng is also waiting to see.
The next day was still an old time, and the old location was just much larger.
And the siege equipment was also assembled in advance.
Yesterday was able to succeed under people's noses because there were too few.
It's not a threat to the city, there's no need to destroy it.
And today, at a glance, there are dense siege equipment, hundreds and thousands in the real sense, crowded with people, and there are too many to count.
The scale is bigger than yesterday.
After all, there were only 30,000 yesterday, and today it is five times.
There was some commotion in the city, and some people had imagined the scene on the battlefield, and yesterday they were fortunate enough to see it. It doesn't feel like that's it.
Today they know that this is the real battlefield, what is a small thing.
It's not an exaggeration to say that the urine is the town's one at all.
The old general also got the news, and when he came to the city, his brows furrowed, how rich his experience was, he could see at a glance that Lin Hong was going to fight to the death, and directly pulled the troops up, which was a challenge for the defenders of the city.
A test of will and perseverance.
It's just a unit that has been trained for a while, and if it were an old general, he wouldn't let such a person go to the battlefield.
