Chapter 1165: Siege
Soha City.
Although for Meng Yuan, this city was breached too quickly and was very undignified.
But for the Mengyuan people in the city, it was lucky.
After Jingji Daosan broke through the city, not only did he not slaughter the city, but he also did not embarrass the Mengyuan people, but only restricted the actions of the Mengyuan people as appropriate.
Soha is a small city, and there are not many soldiers and horses in the city. The 10,000 households of the third province of Kyogoku are divided into two parts. Half live in the city, and half camp outside the city.
"Kill !!!!"
In the camp outside the city, there was a loud roar of killing.
Inside the school grounds. The soldiers of five thousand households, lined up neatly, are practicing knife skills. In the Han army, although there are many arms, all of them will use swords.
Knife technique is the basic skill.
Dressed in heavy armor, Kyogoku Michizo stood on a wooden pointing platform, looking at the drills of the soldiers in front of him, and showed a satisfied smile.
He turned his head to the soldiers beside him and said, "In another three months." The recruits are up to the battle. ”
"And look at the current progress of the war. The First War of Mengyuan, at least two years. When the recruits have finished training, we will still have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. ”
"That's exactly what the general said." The pro-soldier who was born as a retainer of the old Kyoji family clasped his fists and saluted.
Kyogoku Michizo smiled and turned his head and continued to look at the soldiers who were training in front of him.
Haida wanted to use the three cities on the front line to consume the soldiers of the Han army. The idea is right. But the problem is that the national strength of the Han Dynasty is too strong.
The place is thousands of miles away, and the population is tens of millions.
The bureaucracy is elite and the administrative efficiency is extremely high.
Although there are still clear ethnic distinctions. But Wu Nian also has a wonderful use. Use the Fuso people to lead the Fuso soldiers and Fuso samurai to fight.
Let the Goguryeo people lead the Goguryeo soldiers.
Let the Han generals lead the Han soldiers.
Before the Great War, the imperial court considered the problem of war damage. Urgently ordered the governor of Youyan and the governor of Xinqi to recruit samurai in the original territory of Fusang.
It was given as a reserve. Just wait for the battle damage in front to make up for it.
In Fuso. Samurai make up one-tenth of the population. The large number of ronins in society is a factor of instability in the Fuso area.
Let them join the battlefield and make contributions. It's also the best of both worlds.
It's been two months since Kyogoku Michizo's recruits arrived, and as long as they train for a while, they will be able to fight.
Haida's attrition tactics are useful, but not too big.
............
Ninggu City.
Three days have passed since the killing. The body has been buried. But there was still a faint smell of blood in the city. The 200 Han families in the city are not living in a solid way.
Wu Nian comforted these Han people and personally sent county orders and officials over to appease them.
The dragon did not destroy the houses in the city. All the 10,000 households were encamped outside the city. Batches of reserve soldiers and horses were sent here from Jiang County.
The generals rested on the spot, replenished their troops, repaired weapons, armor, and so on.
This morning.
Long He summoned Tie Niu, Liu Wu, Zhao Mancheng, Li Yunzhong, Kumamoto Ningci and other generals in his big tent.
The generals Tie Niu and Liu Wu, the two old brothers of Beishan Fort, have the highest status.
The dragon was dressed in a red robe, with a steel knife hanging from his waist, and sat on a handsome seat. With a solemn face, he said, "Everyone." Although we have taken the city. But Beta City is the hard bone to gnaw. ”
"The army is besieging the city. Attacked by a thousand households, even if it is a Han soldier, will be tired. Rotation is required. ”
"Although our troops are now damaged in battle, the imperial court has an endless supply of replenishment."
"Be diligent in training your recruits. Focus on training them on how to siege the city. In the short term, restore a certain combat strength. Rendezvous with the king, and the armies take turns to attack Beta. ”
Without Feng Chong present, the scene would be very harmonious.
Everyone has a clear status, and it is clear who is the head and who is the tail.
"The general is reassured. Restore combat strength, make meritorious contributions in battles, and annihilate Meng Yuan. We are more positive than anyone else. Tie Niu stretched out his right hand, patted his chest, and smiled.
"Hmm." Long Ji snorted, smiled, stood up and said, "Attack Beta City first." Then drive straight in. Brothers. Let's kill all the Mengyuan people together. ”
"Yes."
Tie Niu, Liu Wu and Long felt the same way, and clenched their fists loudly.
Zhao Mancheng, Li Yunzhong, and Kumamoto Ningji didn't have that much resonance, but in order to be gregarious, they also responded with fists.
The Han army fought with soldiers and horses, and suffered great losses.
But slowly but surely in the midst of the resurgence.
The main force of the Han army, which Wu Nian directly commanded, took on the role of the main force in attacking the city.
Morning. Genius is just dawning.
On the city of Beta, the army and civilians are already in full battle.
The official soldiers of the Mengyuan garrison Wanhu trained the strong militia for several months.
Wu Nian's arrow letter had a great impact on the military and civilians. But the tipping point has not yet been reached.
Yimengyuan people still have a certain cohesion and are proud fighting nations.
The reputation of the Second Han Army was not very good, and they conquered the city. Under the propaganda of the upper echelons, many Mengyuan people did not believe that the Han army would let them go.
So. Now the morale of the Mengyuan soldiers and civilians in the city is still very high. Their eyes were firm and their expressions were resolute.
"Knock Knock Knock !!!"
"Woo woo woo !!!"
Drums and trumpets sounded almost at the same time. The drums and horns are contending, and the murderous spirit is boiling.
"Crunch." The door of the Han military camp slowly opened. Batches of Han troops walked out with heavy siege equipment such as well carts, ladder trucks, and wooden curtain carts, and then lined up neatly.
A large number of Han soldiers and horses were dispatched.
The "Han" character flag flutters in the wind, and the hunting sounds.
The so-called banner itself has no majesty. Only the banner of a strong army can be majestic. Now the Han soldiers are unmatched, and even the proud fighting nation is slightly inferior.
The "Han" flag is like the sun, dazzling and exuding supreme majesty.
In front of the city gate tower. Jin Tingen was dressed in heavy armor, surrounded by his own soldiers, watching the Han army in front. Seeing this, he could no longer bear it, pulled out the steel knife at his waist, and shouted, "Warriors. Don't forget your bloodlines. We are the proud Mengyuan people, a fighting nation. ”
"It is our destiny to die on the battlefield. Prepare for battle. ”
"Yes." The soldiers and civilians of Mengyuan roared in unison, and the momentum was not weak.
"Da Da Da !!!" In the middle of the Han army camp gate, a group of heavy armored cavalry galloped out. The cavalrymen were armed with spears and had a heavy breath.
The first young general, still a little immature, but also majestic. Holding a horse lance, looking forward to it, the heroic posture is cool.
It was Wu Min.
Wu Min led the inner guards and embraced Wu Nian to the battlefield.
There was no need for him to say a word, all the soldiers were focused on Wu Nian.
King Han.
I am the king.
The eyes of all the soldiers were fiery, and their faces were full of worship, respect, and fanaticism, and then they slowly lowered their heads in respect.
Wu Nian tightened the reins of his horse, stopped his horse, and looked at the city ahead. With a wave of the horsewhip in his hand, he ordered: "Siege." ”
