Chapter 020: His Majesty's means of Taiyuan attack and defense
The wind howled, and there was silence in the camp.
Jia Cong sat on horseback, looked at the soldiers who had quickly assembled in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction, this is the deterrent effect brought by the previous beheading of Zhang and Zhao!
"Soldiers, a great opportunity to make contributions is right in front of you!"
Jia Cong shouted loudly: "Now that the Tatar soldiers are besieging Taiyuan Mansion with all their might, and the rear troops are empty, we will take the opportunity to go over and kill him by surprise, and we will be able to win in one battle!"
From glory and wealth, we are only shy of this trembling in front of our eyes, brothers, are you willing to kill with the general?! ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
first lure them to profit, and then take the lead, which suddenly made the soldiers excited and their eyes lit up.
So, morale is available!
The pre-battle slash will be a double-edged sword, and at the same time, it will also make Jia Cong leave the impression in the hearts of the soldiers that the main general is strict, and the result is good or bad depends on the follow-up response means.
If it is dealt with, the dispatch of troops or something in the future will naturally be prohibited, and everything will be obeyed.
But if it is not handled well, it will make the soldiers feel that the main general is severely punished and brutal, and they will naturally be a little more distant and careful, love and support something, don't even think about it!
Among all the means, Jia Cong's method is undoubtedly the most effective.
In these years, which of the soldiers who worked hard in the army was not for the sake of glory and wealth?
If you like it, the natural effect is outstanding!
……
Under the city of Taiyuan.
The breath of blood and fire permeated the entire city.
Taking advantage of the rare moment of rest for the enemy army, the defenders sat in a random open space on the city wall, hurrying to recover their almost exhausted strength.
The faces of the temporarily transferred people were full of panic and confusion about the future.
There was a rare light rain in the sky.
It fell in a trickle, wetting the armor, and also colding the boiling blood and surging heart.
What I couldn't ask for in the past is now boring.
The entire Taiyuan Mansion is shrouded in a gloomy fog......
On the castle tower.
Adjutant General Yue Wei stood there straight, looking at the Tatar army under the city without saying a word.
At this time, a tall and thin garrison hurriedly ran over, "General, our rolling stones have all been used up, and there are not many samarine......
"Running out of rolling stones?"
Yue Wei's face remained unchanged, "Then ask someone to demolish the house, starting with me and General Du's mansion!" ”
"Demolish the mansions of the two generals?"
The garrison hesitated for a moment, but quickly reacted.
And what happened to the mansion of the general soldier?
This special city is about to be attacked by the Tatars, what mansion do you care? Even the imperial city has to be demolished!
Make up your mind.
The garrison immediately retired and organized people to demolish the house.
Before he could turn around and take a few steps, another guerrilla general with a beard on his face came, "General, did the messenger who came back say when the reinforcements will arrive?" ”
Hearing this, Yue Wei's brows suddenly furrowed.
"Wait two more days, the letter for help will be sent out for more than four days, but the nearest Datong Mansion to us is more than 400 miles, and the time to send the letter plus the time for the reinforcements to rush will have to be five or six days......"
The guerrilla sighed, "But the soldiers can't hold on anymore, and the people who have been transferred have already changed three batches......"
At the end, he asked a little unwillingly: "Can't they come back from the general soldiers?" ”
Yue Wei shook his head silently, "He didn't dare to come back, Ji Lun had already made it clear that the carriages and horses were going to be consumed, if the general soldiers were to evacuate, then they would take advantage of the situation to cross the Great Wall and plunder inland."
But if you don't evacuate, Ji Lun will drive the soldiers to attack every day, there is a plain, no better than us standing in the city, the 60,000 elite soldiers under the command of the general army have already lost a small half! ”
Guerrilla gasped.
The words are not finished.
Outside, the muffled sound of trumpets suddenly sounded, and the Tatar army began to attack the city again.
"Defend the city!"
Yue Wei and the guerrilla shouted in unison.
Hurried a few steps.
"General!"
The guerrilla gritted his teeth, "If the reinforcements don't arrive, mobilize the whole city to fight to the death, make it clear to the brothers and the people, and everyone will be a ghost together!" ”
"Reinforcements are coming, you must hold on!"
Yue Wei paused, "If it really comes to that point, there is no need to say more, the general will definitely die with the city......"
…………
The Golden Horde of the Tatar Khan.
"It's already the seventh day, what the hell is Su He doing?"
Listening to the situation of Taiyuan Mansion City from the messenger, Ji Lun was furious, "With ten times the strength of the Han people, I went to attack Taiyuan Mansion City at any cost, and I didn't say anything about it, but I still want to withdraw my troops back to the grassland?!" ”
Ji Lun angrily paced back and forth in the golden horde.
"You go back and tell Su He, don't say anything about the Han reinforcements coming, you can't capture Taiyuan Mansion, Ben Khan personally cut him!"
"Yes!"
…………
"Boom... Boom... Knock ......"
"Woo......"
The rapid beat of drums and the muffled sound of trumpets heralded the beginning of a new round of Tatar sieges.
The drizzle continued, and everything in the distance was blurred in the mist.
Behind the female wall, Yue Wei stood with his sword in his hand, listening to the neighing of war horses in the distance, and the uniform sound of trumpets when pushing siege equipment such as crashing cars, chariots, and watchtowers.
The complexion is as calm as water.
At the head of the city, the unusually oppressive atmosphere seemed to freeze the air.
"Artillery, put!"
Seeing that the Tatars entered the firing range, Yue Wei gave an order, and a venerable Hongyi cannon suddenly unleashed its might, and more than a dozen pounds of shells roared towards the Tatar military formation with a deafening cannon sound.
"Boom... Rumble... Boom ......"
Solid cannonballs made of pig iron hit the ground one after another, and then rushed forward with unstoppable inertia, blasting everything they encountered along the way.
Every time a cannonball falls, it creates a bloody vacuum in the black-pressed siege army.
Relative.
Not to be outdone, the Tatar artillery was not to be outdone, and one shell after another, with the blazing heat of the burning gunpowder, streaked through the void and fell towards the city.
On the stone wall, large and small potholes were constantly drilled, and the jumping cannonballs and flying rubble caused bursts of blood mist from time to time......
Wait until the Tatar army is nearer.
The siege crossbows, bows and arrows, and catapults on both sides also shot one after another, taking away one fresh life after another.
The crash was desperately pounding the blocked city gates, and heavy wagons led the Tatar army hiding in them to the city, and the next moment, ladders climbed the city walls......
On the top of the city.
Stones and logs fell, and then burning firewood and boiling gold juice came in an instant, and the Tatars were killed and wounded in an instant.
But even so.
There were still dense Tatar soldiers rushing up, like a swarm of ants rushing to dessert, killing them endlessly.
Under the death order of Gillen, this battle has reached its peak from the beginning......
