Chapter 709: The siege is blocked

Not long after he fell asleep, there was the sound of war horses galloping around, and then the Su family army appeared around the Goryeo official army like a divine soldier descending from the sky.

One is tired after a day's work, walking for a day, mentally sluggish, and unprepared.

One is ready to go, there has been a careful plan for a long time, or cavalry versus infantry.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the tide of the battle turned in a one-sided direction.

As the army of the dragon king on horseback (Su Shi is the dragon king, and his soldiers are temporarily collectively referred to as the dragon king army) appeared from all directions, arrows continued to shoot, and the Goryeo army was almost defeated in a single face.

Those who reacted slowly were killed by a bow and arrow.

Those who react quickly turn around and flee, but such people are often chased by war horses.

The smart one directly threw away the weapon in his hand and knelt down to surrender.

In one night, all seven armies of the Goryeo Army were wiped out. From the beginning to the end of the operation, there was no decent resistance, and the Su army took 10,000 Goryeo troops at the cost of three wounded and no one killed, of which more than 9,000 were taken prisoners alone.

In just one night, Yin Yuhu's so-called strategy of dividing troops lost its effect. By the next morning, he had lost contact with the 10,000 foot soldiers.

"What are they doing? Send scouts again, and find them no matter what." As a general, he lost contact with his soldiers, which is very abnormal and very humiliating.

Yin Yuhu was angry, and dozens or hundreds of cavalry were sent out, but without exception, none of these so-called scouts would return, and all of them would be left in the vast area behind Beiqingcheng.

It feels like the territory after Beiqingcheng is like a dead land, and whoever goes there will not be able to come back.

On the third day, when Yin Yuhu, who couldn't wait, ordered to send scouts again, no one dared to go.

Who lives well and wants to die?

Even if one of the people who went there comes back, at least it shows that there is still hope for life.

But when more than 10,000 people don't return the results, who dares to try? ap.

"Cowards, all cowards." Yin Yuhu was so angry that he scolded in the big tent, and at this time, his nephew, General Yin Kun, walked into the tent, "General, the catapult and the ladder are ready."

"Okay, then attack the city, attack the city." Yin Yuhu, who was a little angry, seemed to have found an outlet, and roared loudly.

The dull sound of the military horn sounded, and on the third day after the Goryeo army came to the North Castle, they seemed to be ready and began to launch an offensive against the North Castle.

Thirty improvised catapults were in place, followed by hundreds of ladders were also taken out, and Yin Kun was appointed as the forward general, and took a full 10,000 Goryeo troops to set up a formation and stop under the south gate of Beiqingcheng.

"Take the battalion as a unit, and attack the city."

Riding on the war horse, Yin Kun looked like he was bound to win, and with an order, the locust-like Goryeo army rushed towards the city wall.

Before they attacked, thirty catapults took the lead in firing cannons, which seemed to be huge, but because of the lack of accuracy, most of the stones thrown could not fall on the city wall, and only smashed on the city wall, but this kind of damage was not at all the cement city wall, and in the end it was mostly useless.

In the final analysis, the catapult at this time is more used to shock and disintegrate people's hearts, and the real damage is pitiful.

On top of the city tower of Beiqingcheng, Su Shi built a lot of battlements.

A battlement is a small opening built on the side of the wall, about two meters high, and this kind of battlement is called a lookout. There are small holes under the battlements, called shooting holes, which are used to shoot at the enemy. The city wall also has a platform protruding from the outside of the wall, which is divided into two types, one is the wall platform; The other is the enemy building, which is divided into two floors, the lower floor has many small rooms for ten people, and the upper floor has a battlement for shooting.

The dragon king's army stayed in the battlement and looked outside, looking unhurried.

It was some peasant soldiers in the battlement, who were still scared at first, but when they found that the catapult could not help themselves, they all relaxed one by one, and their faces became relaxed with the dragon king's army.

let

The participation of peasants and soldiers in the war was specially arranged by Su Shi. In order to let them feel the atmosphere of the war, and those who have experienced more battles and can survive will undoubtedly become elite soldiers.

Just expanding the territory is not the real purpose of Su Shi, the establishment of a large enough number of elite divisions is the real foundation, only in this way can the territory be defended and stabilized.

"When you release the arrow for a while, don't shake your hands, and shoot again when you see it, if this arrow is shot crooked, you can consider adjusting the direction of the next arrow by yourself, understand?"

When the Goryeo army erected the ladder above the castle tower, the soldiers of the Dragon King Army began to teach the peasants around them their combat experience.

There are only 10,000 Goryeo troops, and they really haven't been put in the eyes of the elite Dragon King Army, if it weren't for Su Shi's request to train their troops through this, I'm afraid they would have started to fight back a long time ago.

What kind of bullshit claims to be an army of 200,000, what is really worthy of the attention of the Dragon King Army under the city is the 30,000 cavalry, and the others are just local chickens and dogs.

If it weren't for the fact that every battle in the future could not be fully let go of the Dragon King Army, and more fresh blood was needed, so he did not launch a counterattack at the first time, but played a defensive battle, giving everyone a chance to feel the battlefield and give everyone a time to adapt to the battlefield.

A peasant soldier with a longbow in his hand, relying on the battlements, aimed his arrows at the Goryeo foot soldiers who were climbing the ladder.

Zhou Shu is among them, and his current goal has changed again.

Before, I just wanted to join the peasant soldiers, and I could have a stutter. Later, I wanted to join the auxiliaries because the treatment would be better and the living conditions would be better.

When these goals were achieved, he had a new idea and became a regular soldier.

How mighty are the soldiers!

Everyone has several sets of military uniforms, especially the black stab-proof suit, which can play a role stronger than heavy armor. Wearing this means that you have one or even several more lives.

And the treatment of regular soldiers is better, and they can also join the Han nationality and become the envy of everyone.

It is because the treatment is better and the conditions are more harsh, according to Su Shi's requirements, if the peasant soldiers want to become auxiliary soldiers, they must kill at least two enemies.

However, if an auxiliary soldier wants to become a regular soldier, he must kill ten enemies. In addition, it is required to be fluent in Chinese conversation, and it is required to know at least 500 Chinese characters.

Zhou Shu has reached the number of literacy of more than 500 through the rest time. And he is also very fluent in Chinese conversation, even at home, when he talks to people, he asks everyone to speak Chinese. It can be said that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

Since the beginning of the war, this is the beginning of the east wind, and Zhou Shu wants to take this opportunity to kill more than ten enemies and become a regular soldier under the real Dragon Heavenly King. He wanted to be one of the first Goryeo people to convert to Han nationality.

Holding the bow in his left hand and pulling the bowstring hard with his right hand, Zhou Shu, who opened one eye and closed one eye, set his eyes on a Goryeo soldier who was grabbing a cloud ladder.

From time to time, the longbow moved with the movement of the Goryeo army.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Feng Meng, the deputy commander of the guard regiment in charge of defending the city, gave an order, and at that moment, thousands of arrows were fired, and one arrow after another flew towards the Goryeo army, which had already climbed more than half of it.

The arrows flew in unison, followed by one after another Goryeo foot soldiers, who fell from the ladder to the ground.

The Goryeo army, which did not even have cloth armor and was only wearing a thin layer of cloth, had no defense at all in the face of bows and arrows, and once the arrows hit them, they were either killed or wounded.

For a long time, the infantry was not valued by the countries.

Naturally, that wouldn't invest too much in them. But even if it is a layer of military clothing, it is much better than most Goryeo people who only wear paper clothes.

In this era, limited by the output of cotton, cotton cloth, etc., even if people talk about the rich Song Dynasty, most of the people still wear paper clothes, not to mention that the economic conditions are far inferior to that of the Song Dynasty.

Bows and arrows were fired continuously, and from time to time there would be a cheering sound from the battlements, which was the shouting of the peasant soldiers after they had shot their targets.

Zhou Shu was lucky and shot two enemies, which made him get closer and closer to the path of the main soldier, but he didn't shout with joy because

This is not something to be proud of, and shouting like this on the battlefield is often the easiest to expose one's position.

Although hiding in the battlements, the safety is very guaranteed. But soon a shout of applause rang out, and it was the voice of the regular soldier shouting at the peasant soldiers.

Victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged. On the battlefield, there is also a need for calm, and from this aspect alone, the peasants and soldiers still have a lot to learn.

The regular soldiers are shouting and teaching. However, the Goryeo army got off the ladder and ran back with the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling.

At least six or seven hundred Goryeo infantry soldiers were wounded by bows and arrows, and even more than three or four hundred were killed in direct battle.

Seeing the comrades around him planting under the ladder one by one, the others were also frightened and fled one after another.

Yin Kun was so angry when he saw this situation that he scolded him, and at the same time sent his own soldiers around him to escort the formation, and beheaded two fleeing soldiers in a row, which suppressed the decline. Then an order was given, and a new wave of onslaught began again, but without exception, it still became a live target, and even the city wall was not climbed, and it was abandoned halfway.

This result made Yin Kun very dissatisfied, but he also knew that the Dragon King Army had indeed taken advantage of the geographical advantage, and if it continued to fight like this, the loss would be too great.

Seeing that many of the soldiers who had retreated looked like they were all apprehensive, Yin Kun did not force them to attack, but went to the main account of the army to report the battle situation to Yin Yuhu.

Yin Yuhu had already seen the siege of the city, but he was angry and helpless at the same time. Seeing Yin Kun coming to him, he had no better way, so he could only say encouragingly, "It is impossible for the Dragon King Army to prepare too many arrows and continue to attack the city, and when these arrows are almost consumed, it will be when we attack Beiqing City, and you will be the first to do it at that time."
