Volume 4 Southwest Raiders Chapter 319 Rookies Peck Each Other (II)
Compared with the battle in the Central Plains, this Shunzhou attack and defense is indeed a complete rookie pecking at each other.
The attackers seem to be extremely imposing, send a lot of troops, and play what siege is missing one, but the resoluteness and intensity of their siege are outrageously low.
On several occasions, it was clear that as long as he gritted his teeth and paid some price, he could get to the top of the city and then gain a firm foothold. As a result, under the enemy's chaotic arrows, they retreated in a hurry.
In the final analysis, it was because the people of all tribes who led the troops in front of them had selfish intentions and didn't want their soldiers and horses to be damaged too much, so they used the tactic of adding fuel to the battle, and then quickly withdrew, and then let the other tribes come forward.
No one is willing to die, everyone expects others to pay, and the result is that you also lose a lot, I also lose a lot, and if you calculate carefully, the loss is even greater.
As for the defenders, in fact, it is also half a pound and two taels of attack and defense.
The tactics of the Shunzhou defenders against the city are only to the extent of laymen, and all kinds of means cannot be used, so they can only defend with the most rudimentary bows and crossbows.
This can certainly kill some enemies, but its own loss is not small.
Maybe they haven't noticed it yet, but in a few days, the bows and arrows and other weapons in the city will be missing, and they may not be able to defend the city when they face a large army attacking the city.
Of course, for now, it seems that the situation is worse for the attacking side, because the reinforcements from the north have already been dispatched, and they may appear under the city of Shunzhou before the weapons in the city are exhausted.
At that time, the ten armies of southern Sichuan, which had been exhausted for a long time, would really be broken by a battle.
It is precisely because of this understanding that everyone raised concerns at this time, and hinted to Yang Jianting that it was time to change the strategy, at least let the people of the Dayue Imperial Court know about the difficulties here, and help everyone solve the problem.
Yang Jianting sighed: "I know it's difficult for everyone, and I'm also difficult...... However, it is not a secret, the imperial court military horses are not here, but they have gone to a more important place. That is the key to the success or failure of our Northern Expedition, so ......"
"Patriarch Yang, we have long wanted to ask, what are the plans of the soldiers and horses of this imperial court, and until now, they are still hiding it from us, and they really don't treat us as companions."
Some people asked questions loudly, and others also followed up, which was actually dissatisfied in everyone's hearts, and finally seized the opportunity to make trouble and wanted to ask for clarification.
But this time, Yang Jianting insisted on not saying: "Don't be impatient, everyone, this matter is related to the overall situation of our Northern Expedition, once it is leaked, I am afraid that not only will the plan fail, but also the thousands of imperial army will be in danger because of this, so I really can't say it bluntly."
"But don't worry, as long as you hold on, within a month, the situation will be completely different."
"A month? By then, not only will we lose our troops, but the men and horses in the north will be able to swallow us all in one go! ”
"That's it! Even if the reinforcements over there don't come, it's not a way for us to spend so much in Shunzhou......"
These people are iron-hearted, and this time they must get a conclusive statement from Yang Jianting's mouth.
In the final analysis, this ten-part coalition army in southern Sichuan is not single-minded after all, it is just a coalition army that has been temporarily pinched together, and once it really encounters a setback, it is likely to fall apart on the spot.
No matter how high the prestige of the Yang family is, it is really useless in the face of life and death, not to mention the name of the unpopular Central Plains Imperial Court.
But because of this, Yang Jianting didn't dare to tell them about Sun Ning's real plan, otherwise maybe in a blink of an eye, people would leak the plan, bringing a huge crisis to Sun Ning and them.
But for now, this game is ......
Yang Jianting looked at the surging appearance of the crowd, his heart turned twice, and finally gritted his teeth: "That's it!" In the next two days, the siege of the city will be handed over to our Banzhou soldiers and horses, but the defense of the city of soldiers and horses attack, but everyone has to work together, I don't know what you think? ”
He has tied himself and the entire family to the cart of Sun Ning and the imperial court, and now the situation is not good, so he can only fight with his family funds.
When the others saw him talk like this, they carried the biggest problems over, and naturally it was not good to entangle them any more, so they nodded their heads one after another.
As for the so-called beware of the defenders in the city coming out to sneak attack or something, in their opinion, it is completely overconsideration. Now that the strength of the two sides is obviously contrasting, it is not easy for the defenders of Shunzhou to hold the city to the death, so how dare they venture out of the city?
……
After noon, when the southern Sichuan coalition army launched another attack on Shunzhou, this time it was completely dominated by the Banzhou soldiers of the Yang family.
However, their offensive was not much stronger than that of the miscellaneous armies of the other divisions, and the generals still took the preservation of their own soldiers and horses as their first priority, and as long as the attack on the city head was fierce, they retreated decisively, and few fought desperately at all costs.
In this way, after losing more than 200 people, when it was dark, the offensive and defensive battle of the day was suspended again.
And just when the army returned to the camp and everyone wanted to take a good rest, in the dark night, at the outpost of the barracks, suddenly there was a whining horn warning sound.
"How could it be ......" Many of the patriarchs who had just returned to their respective tents and took off their armor heard this, and they didn't care about putting on their armor, so they hurriedly rushed out to see what was going on.
Then, sure enough, they saw a party coming out of the city, fighting with their own horses that were patrolling the camp all the way.
The Shunzhou soldiers were obviously prepared, and after only one round of advance, the patrol, which was numerically inferior, scattered and fled, and then the team continued to rush forward quickly, and it seemed that it was about to rush into the southern Sichuan camp.
"How unreasonable!" One of the leaders shouted angrily: "Warriors, kill the enemy with me!" ”
Not only did a leader shout like this, but the entire southern Sichuan camp was boiling at this time.
The enemy occupies the convenience of the city, and the siege of 20,000 against 100,000 troops has won repeatedly, and now they are still trying to sneak attack their own camp, which is really too deceitful!
Moreover, these leaders have just made an appointment with Yang Jianting about their respective responsibilities, so how can they back down now?
So, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses slammed straight towards the small team of thousands of men like a stormy wave, and quickly surrounded and cut them.
This team also wanted to be blind, thinking that they could penetrate the southern Sichuan camp with a night attack with a victory during the day, but as a result, more than 1,000 people, including Tian Jian, who was the leader, were all killed, and there was not even a single one who could escape back and report the news.
When Tennig at the head of the city barely watched this scene end, his whole body trembled violently.
After glancing fiercely at Tian Zheng, who had been like earth in the morning, he decisively ordered: "Come on, tie me up this thing that eats inside and out!" ”
"The patriarch spares his life, I also want to share the worries of the patriarch......" Tian Zheng shouted, but he couldn't change his ending.
He was doomed, not only because this plan cost Shunzhou thousands of soldiers and horses, but also because this defeat made the morale of Shunzhou all discharged......
