Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 73 Siege
Although Ye Qing's army is also strictly trained, it is not considered a weak brigade. But after seven consecutive days, it is still enough, the cavalry is fine, there are horses to travel, but the infantry can only rely on their legs to hurry.
"You can rest for an hour, and no more. Taking advantage of the fact that the soldiers still have a monstrous spirit, we will break through Tangshan Town today and spend the night directly in the town. Ye Qing looked at the sky, it was only halfway through the morning, and after thinking about it secretly, he said categorically.
Breaking through a small town in one day is not something that cannot be done, even if it is facing an important town like Tangshan.
"Yes. Qin Fei perked up and promised.
Immediately, the army did not slow down, but became faster and faster. Finally, half an hour later, I saw Tangshan Town.
On the city wall of Tangshan Town, there is a general wearing silver armor. This general is ordinary-looking, but burly. silently watched Ye Qing's army approaching rapidly.
Zhao Dang, he is the general of Tsing Yi City, but his ability is not outstanding, and his surname is cautious.
After learning that the front was defeated again and again, the city lord of Tsing Yi City, who had no generals to send, had to send him to resist the attack of the Ye army, so as to buy time for Tsing Yi City to defend itself.
At present, there are a total of 10,000 soldiers and horses in Tangshan Town, which is already one-fifth of the current army in Tsing Yi City.
As soon as Ye Qing's army entered the territory of Tangshan Town, Zhao Dang got the news.
For Ye Qing, Zhao Dang still attaches great importance to it, after all, his hundreds of thousands of troops are folded in his hands, but Zhao Dang is still very confident in defending the city.
Although Tangshan is only a town, its defense system is still very perfect, after all, he also has the role of defending Tsing Yi City, plus there is enough food and grass, and there is no big problem for 10,000 troops to defend for ten days and a half.
So, Zhao Dang was full of confidence to prepare to defend the city, and wrote a letter to take the document to Lanyu with a fast horse. Deliver Ye Qing's message.
Then, Zhao Dang began to wait. Waiting for the arrival of Ye Qing's army step by step.
Thirty miles, twenty miles, ten miles. Until now.
Suddenly, Zhao Dang's eyes flashed with surprise. Ye Qing's army, which was slowly approaching, actually rested on the spot, this is normal, an army under conquest, after coming to the target, naturally wants to rest.
To Zhao Dang's surprise, this army did not camp, which was very abnormal.
Could it be that this seemingly tired army is about to attack the city now?" His surprise flashed in his heart, and he shook his head and threw out this ridiculous idea.
It's ridiculous. Could it be that Ye Qing wanted to break through the important town defended by 10,000 elite soldiers in one attack. Sleep in the city after dark?
Joke.
I guess it's tomorrow. Zhao Dang secretly guessed for a moment, and said to an officer beside him: "This side will be handed over to you." ”
"Yes. The officer answered.
Zhao Dang took his left and right relatives down the city wall and returned to the mansion in the city.
After Zhao Dang left, the officer who was ordered to garrison glanced at Ye Qing's army and said to his cronies: "I'll leave it to you." I'll go and rest in the city gate. ”
Obviously, this military marquis also thought that after Ye Qing rested for a while, he would set up camp. Then wait for tomorrow to attack, after all, this is how the war has always been fought on the Flood Desolate Continent.
"Yes. The cronies answered, and sent the officer into the city gate tower to rest.
With the departure of the chief generals and officers one after another, the atmosphere in the city was relatively relaxed.
Under the city, Ye Qing took Qin Fei and other generals to scan the city wall on foot. Seeing the archers on the city, their expressions were relaxed, and there was no solemn and solemn expression at all.
At a time when the war is about to break out, it seems that the soldiers defending the city are not elites.
"Soldiers, do not slack off, and always be ready to attack the city. After looking at it for a while, Ye Qing looked around and said, the enemy is relaxed, but Ye Qing is not.
It just so happened that taking advantage of the enemy's laxity to attack during this period could not only quickly capture the town of Tangshan, but also greatly reduce the casualties of the soldiers.
"Yes. Qin Fei answered, went down with a few generals, and reminded the soldiers to go. Stay excited about the battle at all times. Makes the blood rush and heat.
Under the appeasement of Qin Fei and the others, the soldiers had their eyes full of attention, and there was a murderous aura between their eyebrows, looking at Tangshan Town like a beast seeing its prey.
In the process, the soldiers not only ate dry food and rested, but also cultivated enough murderous and sharp energy.
There was a world of difference compared to the lazy defenders of the city.
Soon, an hour's break passed.
"Siege. Ye Qing was fully armored, with an incomparable slaughter on his face, and he had no pity for the weak at all, and waved his hand and said loudly.
"Yes. The generals agreed in unison.
Subsequently, under the command of the generals, the soldiers who were sitting on the ground quickly got up and lined up, and at the same time, more than 100 siege ladders were quickly carried to the front.
The guards on the city looked at this army very curiously. Really don't camp The officer who went into the city gate tower to rest ordered the cronies who were in charge of watching Ye Qing's army.
After a moment of confusion in his heart, he quickly entered the city gate tower and reported to the officer.
When the officers put on their armor and walked out of the city gate. In the sky, the sound of a horn full of murderous intent was already sounding.
"Woooooooooo ”
"Kill. ”
The sound of the trumpet sounded at the same time as the shouting of killing, and the army of 70,000, led by hundreds of ladders, attacked only one city wall.
No front team, no back team.
It's all a charge.
In one go, to take Tangshan, Ye Qing is not just talking.
On the city, the officers who hurriedly put on their armor looked at Ye Qing's army rushing towards the city wall in disbelief.
Don't set up camp, leave no room, as soon as you come up, it's an onslaught. What kind of perversion is this. The officer was still in disbelief.
It wasn't until Ye Qing's army was already approaching the city wall that he let out a terrible scream: "Beat the drums, prepare to defend the city." ”
"Kill. "But the fierce murderous aura is already close at hand. Let the officer be cold.
In the city, in the town lord's house.
Zhao Dang took off his armor and slept in the mansion.
"Woooooooo When the horn sounded, Zhao Dang was awakened.
Before he could come back to his senses, he saw a man who looked like a soldier and broke in. The pale face reported: "General, Ye Qing has attacked the city." At this moment, many soldiers have climbed the city wall and are engaged in battle with the defenders. ”
"What?" Zhao Dang was stunned, he really didn't want a big camp, and he didn't need to rest. Today, let's say siege today?
Ye Qing. What kind of fierce man is it?
"Mobilize the army, transfer the army. Let all the armies go to defend the city, and be sure to defend it. Zhao Dang shouted angrily.
However, the mobilization of troops takes time. And Ye Qing didn't give him time at all.
On the walls of Tangshan, shouts of killing coexist with screams, but most of the screams came from the defenders. They were retreating to the sound of screaming.
Smooth, unexpectedly smooth. The army stormed the walls at the first moment, and the defenders were slow to react and have low lethality.
After his army had taken the wall, it quickly took possession. Ye Qing saw that the situation was going smoothly unexpectedly, and decisively led a group of personal soldiers to kill the city wall.
When Zhao Dang led the surrounding defenders to kill, Ye Qing had already completely entered the city, and the city gate had been opened.
Soon, the two armies met in the city.
Behind Ye Qing was a large number of soldiers, these soldiers were covered in blood one by one, and the murderous aura condensed with Ye Qing, forming a monstrous arrogance.
Zhao Dang on the other side was much worse, and I saw that he was wearing silver armor, with a pale face and a pale and bloodless face.
Its army, too, is like an emasculated man, without any momentum.
The two sides met here, and the results can be imagined.
"Kill. Ye Qing spit out an extremely cold word from his mouth.
"Kill. Zhao Dang plucked up his courage and spit out the word.
"Kill. "The two armies, in this Tangshan town, launched a decisive battle.
The battle lasted only a quarter of an hour, and the Zhao Party's army, almost slaughtered by Ye Qing's army, collapsed. Either scatter or surrender on your knees.
Zhao Dang himself was shot off by Ye Qing and trampled to death by the rebels.
Although this siege battle was unexpectedly smooth, it also required a lot of physical strength. In particular, Ye Qing also personally participated in the battle for the city wall.
In this battle, more than 5,000 enemies were killed, and almost all the rest were captured, and few escaped. As for Ye Jun, only nearly 100 people died in the battle, which can be regarded as a complete victory.
Ye Qing, who captured Tangshan Town, did not stay here for too long, and the next day, he drove and went directly to Tsing Yi City.
Tangshan Town and Tsing Yi City are only a hundred miles away, and even if the marching speed is slow, they will arrive outside Tsing Yi City in the afternoon.
However, this time, Ye Qing was not in a hurry to attack, but after surrounding Tsing Yi City, he directly set up camp and let his soldiers rest for three days, and he did not shoot an arrow like Tsing Yi City in these three days.
Three days later, the Ye army, which had recovered all its physical strength, was deployed under the unified command of Ye Qing, and the 70,000 army was neatly and orderly arranged in front of the south gate of Yecheng.
On the upper floor of Tsing Yi City, the defenders had already informed the city lord Lan Yu of the news outside the city.
Lan Yu stood on the tower of Tsing Yi City, looking at the army outside the city from a high place, but saw that the enemy army was densely packed, spears were like a forest, bows and crossbows were complete, and the army was neat and orderly, extending far away, about sixty or seventy thousand people.
"I didn't expect the Qingyun City army to be so elite......" After Lan Yu looked at the enemy lineup outside the city, he was a little worried psychologically.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that the powerful Tsing Yi Collar in the past would be beaten to the city one day, Tsing Yi City is the last line of defense, and it must not be lost, let alone retreat! ”
"We will live and die with Tsing Yi City!!" Hearing Lan Yu's emotion, all the generals around him swore in unison.
