Chapter 714: Soldiers Leave Xiangtai City!【Fourth Update】
The siege force of the Tiger Guards took advantage of the enemy's overpower by their own bows and crossbows, and was already close to the city wall.
There was no obstacle on the way.
It was only when their siege ladders were erected that the enemy troops at the head of the city reacted and thought about blocking the enemy army from attacking the city.
It's just that the military formation is in chaos, and if you want to defend the city in an orderly manner, is it so simple?
By the time they began to defend and began to overturn some of the siege ladders, several Tiger Guard soldiers had already climbed up on the other side of the siege ladders.
These soldiers rushed into the crowd of soldiers defending the city like tigers descending from the mountain, and they slashed and killed several enemy soldiers.
By the time the first few people who rushed up were killed, more Tiger Guard soldiers had already rushed up from the rear.
These are all elites, although the overall combat is not comparable to the trapped camp, but the combat effectiveness of the individual is still brave, not much worse than the trapped camp soldiers.
When the number of these elite soldiers reached a certain number at the head of the city, they immediately began to arrange defenses according to their usual training, and rushed forward for more of their own troops.
When Meng Zhiwen in the city saw this scene, he sighed lightly in his heart, this Tiger Guard is worthy of the word 'Tiger Guard', it is really elite.
Even if it was the thousands of elite soldiers specially trained by their Meng family before, when they encountered this escort army, they would at most fight five or five.
But their number is only a few thousand, but the Tiger Guard is a full 100,000!
Such a strong army is the foundation of a strong kingdom.
This also made Meng Zhiwen more determined to do things for the Nanyan Kingdom.
Xu Chu saw the battle situation on the city wall, his eyes narrowed slightly, he held the war knife in his hand, his body moved instantly, and when he reached the city, he slashed down with a knife and killed hundreds of soldiers defending the city.
Originally, as the main general, Xu Chu should not rashly climb the city wall to fight, in case the enemy army has a crossbowman ready to defend him with heaven-level qi-breaking arrows, he will almost be sent to death when he rushes up.
But now that the military formations at the head of the city are in chaos, it is difficult for those crossbowmen to release arrows even if they want to, which makes Xu Chu not be hindered in the city.
With Xu Chu, a saint-king-level general, joining, the battle situation on the city wall was one-sided, and more than half of the casualties were killed and injured in a blink of an eye, and the Tiger Guard's offensive footsteps were even more unstoppable.
In less than an hour, the soldiers defending the city in the entire Daqu City died, ran and ran, and descended, and the entire Daqu City completely fell into the hands of Xu Chu.
Xu Chu was not good at appeasing the people in the city, so he handed over these things to Meng Zhiwen.
Meng Zhiwen will deal with it, and after pacifying the people in the city, he immediately found Xu Chu, who was cleaning the battlefield with his soldiers.
"General Xu, now that Daqu City has been taken, the next step should be to consider attacking Xiangtai City. ”
"But according to Jinyiwei's intelligence, there are more than 200,000 troops in Xiangtai City, and it is unrealistic to want to storm it. Meng Zhiwen said.
"Then what can you do?" asked Xu Chu.
Just now, Meng Zhiwen's strategy allowed him to simply take Daqu City, and Xu Chu was a little looking forward to Meng Zhiwen's next thoughts.
"My plan is very simple, if we don't attack the city, we will put the army at the west gate of Xiangtai City, and let Li Xian and Tan Zhengqi make a mess by themselves. Meng Zhiwen said with a smile.
Xu Chu frowned slightly, and said, "Doesn't this give Li Xian a chance to escape?"
"Definitely. ”
Meng Zhiwen shook his head and said, "On the east and north lines of the Bailan Kingdom, only Daqu City and Xiangtai City can be called important defensive cities, and the rest of the cities have half of their defensive capabilities. ”
"When the time comes, even if Li Xian wants to run, there is nowhere to go, it is better to hold Xiangtai City, and at the same time send an order to the army attacking Bailan City in front, so that they can return to help and break our army. ”
"And the army attacking Bailan City should have met with General Gao Shun's trapped camp now, and with the trapped camp, it is impossible for them to return even if they want to come back. ”
"Even, after the trapped camp crippled the million army, they came back and broke the army, which was useless, but the trapped camp army arrived, and besieged Xiangtai City with the Tiger Guard, and then Li Xian could only wait for death. ”
After a slight pause, Meng Zhiwen continued: "Even, it doesn't matter if Li Xian escapes, if he is in addition to Xiangtai City, with the elite of the Tiger Guard, he can easily catch up and cripple him, and it will be better to solve it when the time comes." ”
Xu Chu thought about it, what Meng Zhiwen said was quite reasonable, so he nodded and said: "Okay, this matter will be done like this, I will arrange for someone to report the battle to Your Majesty, you immediately go down to let the army rest, and go to Xiangtai City in two hours." ”
"Yes!"
Meng Zhiwen responded and immediately went down to make arrangements.
......
"General, the scout in front has come to report that they have found the trapped camp led by Gao Shun, the general of the Southern Yan Kingdom, less than twenty miles away from us. ”
The Dongshen Plain is the center point of the east and north lines and the west and south lines of the Bailan Kingdom.
The plains are huge and endless, making it a good place for cavalry charges.
However, except for this Dongshen Plain, the terrain in other places of the Bailan Kingdom is not suitable for cavalry charge, so among the regular troops of the army, the cavalry is pitiful, and they are all under Dong Zhuo's hands before, and they were taken outside Xiyi City to be used as infantry, which is over.
Now the million-strong army under Li Xian's name has arrived in this Dongshen Plain, and the general headed by him is named Zhu Yunxiao, who is Tan Zhengqi's confidant.
At this time, Zhu Yunxiao heard the words of his subordinates, smiled disdainfully, and said: "The world is saying how powerful and invincible this camp is, but in my eyes Zhu Yunxiao, it's just a joke!"
"Their little exploits are nothing more than meeting a group of idiot generals, so they can have such a reputation. ”
"Today, I wish Yunxiao to tell the world that the extremely powerful trap camp in their eyes is a paper tiger, and it is vulnerable to attack by my army!"
"Order, the army will form an offensive formation, advance at full speed, and let that Gao Shun and his bullshit camp take a look at the real elite army of our Bailan Kingdom!"
"Yes!"
The lieutenants behind him answered in unison, and immediately went down to arrange the military formation according to the instructions.
Zhu Yunxiao himself was standing on the Chinese army's chariot, looking at the direction where the trapped camp was located, but there was a disdainful smile on his face.
On the other side, Gao Shun also got the news of the scouts, and in front of him was where the million-strong army of the Bailan Kingdom was located.
Gao Shun was very confident in the combat effectiveness of his trapped camp, believing that he could successfully defeat the so-called millions of enemy troops.
But he never went to underestimate the generals of the enemy country, nor did he underestimate the army of the enemy country.
He immediately ordered the trapped camp to slow down their march and not waste too much physical strength while they were ready to fight.
Anyway, this is the East Sinking Plain, a vast plain as far as the eye can see, and there is no strategic place to occupy, so there is no need to consume too much physical strength of the soldiers to carry out a rapid march.
