Chapter 480: Attacking Liucheng
Bandun and Nengchen arrived, fled into the woods, led the remnants, and finally escaped.
The cavalry did not dare to continue to pursue into the mountains and forests, and the infantry, under the order of Yang Zhao, did not pursue any further, and the battle soon came to an end.
When Tai Shici and Zhao Fan saw this, they couldn't help but shout pity.
Yang Zhao asked people to clean up the battlefield and control the captives who surrendered.
The strategy of attacking Wuhuan from the rear was carried out very successfully.
"The shadow brought the news back to Gan Xingba, if the sea is safe, you can go to sea and rush to Liaodong, after crossing the sea and landing, there is no need to rush to send troops to attack, first camp on the shore and wait for my order."
Yang Zhao said again.
The next Wuhuan is basically no threat, Yang Zhao asked Gan Ning to go to sea, not for Wuhuan.
The people who occupy the Liaodong region are not only Wuhuan's Badun, but also another warlord in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, who is Gongsun Kang of Liaodong, and this area is still quite chaotic.
Yang Zhao wants to end this chaotic state and put Gongsun Kang in order.
Completely take back Liaodong.
Cao Cao was able to force Gongsun Kang to surrender, and Yang Zhao wanted to try to do so, if he could surrender, it would be best naturally, if not, attack both by land and water, and take it back by force.
"Lord, what about the captives?"
Yan Rou came back and said: "These captives include Hu and Han Chinese, and they are incorporated into our army, and they are afraid that the Hu people will cause chaos and kill them all, which will ruin the reputation of the lord and is not conducive to taking over Liaodong and Liaoxi." ”
In this kind of place where Hu and Han live together, it is difficult to drive out all the Hu people, and if you want to rule, you can't kill the prisoners.
"Separate those who are clearly Han Chinese and send them home, as for those who are clearly Hu people...... Control it first, and when we finish this battle, we will send it to Deheng for mining. ”
Yang Zhao hesitated for a moment, and decided to use these captured Hu people in the mine.
Mining also requires labor and is dangerous.
It is a good way to let the captive Hu people dig it up.
Yang Zhao said again: "We are on the battlefield, and all the captured Hu people are sent to the mine. ”
Increasing the number of miners can also speed up mining, promote industrialization, and make some other things besides weapons as soon as possible, such as steam engines, such as trains, etc.
Transportation and communication conditions are inevitable factors in controlling a region.
Yang Zhao's territory is getting bigger and bigger, although there is the monitoring of the Hongtu hegemony panel, but the various regions are not easy to control, if the transportation and communication conditions can be developed, then everything is possible.
Yang Zhao said again: "Investigate, stop the trajectory of their escape, and set off early tomorrow morning to rush to White Wolf Mountain." ”
They also had to force them to the vicinity of White Wolf Mountain.
And then wipe it out!
——
Zhang Liao has already come outside Liucheng.
This city is not very tall, and there are not many guards, and most of the troops in the city have been taken away by them to deal with Yang Zhao, and the base camp must be empty.
From the outside of the castle, it can be judged that there are about 3,000 guards on the castle tower.
There should still be some guards, who did not show up on the city tower, Zhang Liao analyzed the strength of the defense of Liucheng, which is about between five thousand and eight thousand, and it can definitely be fought.
"Rest for half an hour!"
Zhang Liao, as the commander-in-chief of the attack on Liucheng, was not in a hurry to attack the city as soon as possible, and had to recuperate and replenish enough physical strength.
"Wen Yuan prepares, how to fight?"
Tian Chou followed Zhang Liao's side, and at this time he looked at Liu Cheng and asked.
The location they were in was to the north of Liucheng, in the woods of a mountain range, and they did not immediately appear under the city, so the guards of Liucheng, no one knew that there was a Han army, and they were eyeing them.
Zhang Liao also looked outside, only to see that outside the city, there were not many favorable siege conditions.
Maybe it's located in eastern Liaodong, and the place is relatively remote.
The city within the scope of Liaodong, the city tower is generally not very tall, it is actually very easy to attack it, what they have to do at present is to break the city as soon as possible, if they can't break the city, they have to give up attacking Liucheng, and instead deal with the Rundun who escaped back, and drive people to the White Wolf Mountain as planned.
"I have two ideas."
"The first is a quick solution, only by breaking the city as soon as possible can we cut off all the retreats of the city."
"Second, now the lord and they are definitely attacking Badun, if we can't break the city as soon as possible, we can leave thousands of people to contain the forces of Liucheng, and then intercept and kill Badun, otherwise we will miss a big event."
Zhang Liao said.
"Wen Yuan is right!"
Tian Chou nodded.
Zhang Liao said again: "I am ready to directly attack Liucheng, use our three-bow bed crossbow, blast open the city gate, and then shoot the Divine Fire Crow into it, the enemy will definitely not be able to defend it, what do you think?" ”
Ju Yi agreed: "It's feasible! ”
Xu Huang said: "Our weapons are much stronger than those of the Wuhuan people, and it is not very difficult to break through Liucheng. ”
"That's right!"
Zhang Xiu agreed: "If this can't break the city, we don't have the face to go back and face the lord." ”
When they heard this, they all laughed.
Zhang Liao made a military order, if he couldn't do it, he had to turn his head back to see Yang Zhao, and said, "Since you think it's okay, let's fight like this." ”
The half-hour break was quickly over.
"Youwei, please arrange a three-bow bed crossbow, go to the gate of Liucheng first, and then shoot the Divine Fire Crow into it."
"We're in the back, and as soon as the gates are knocked open, we're going to go in as soon as possible."
"Capture the tower here first, and then control the entire Liucheng."
Zhang Liao arranged.
Zhang Xiu said; "Good!"
After the arrangement, they all showed up at the edge of the woods.
Zhang Xiu led 2,000 people and rushed to the west gate of Liucheng at the fastest speed.
The Wuhuan soldiers guarding the city were frightened when they saw the Han soldiers approaching, and hurriedly beat the war drums on the city tower.
The entire Liucheng guard soldiers numbered about six thousand.
This is in line with Zhang Liao's judgment.
The assembled Liucheng guards were about to start a defense.
But Zhang Xiu did not use the traditional siege method, nor did he erect a ladder, and directly ordered: "Bed crossbow, shoot, divine fire flying crow, shoot!" ”
Sou!
First, there was a piercing sound of breaking the sky.
Rumble!
The thick shaft of the arrow slammed into the city gate, and the whole gate crumbled, as if it would collapse at any moment.
The Divine Fire Crow adjusted its angle, flew past the enemy's tower, and exploded among the soldiers who fell into the city, and the smoke of gunpowder suddenly appeared on the tower, and the sound of the explosion echoed in the city.
The guards of Liucheng were suddenly hit by such a blow, and they were so beaten that they didn't know what to do at all.
They didn't go out with the Bunton, and it was not clear what kind of special weapons those flying birds were, but after a few flying birds blew up dozens of them, signs of chaos began to appear on the castle tower.
