Wang Rong scanned the city wall of Yuan County with a pair of eagle eyes, carefully observing the garrison of the Yong army.

Sending cavalry to demonstrate under the city with captured military flags did a great blow to the morale of the Yong army in the city.

However, the defenders of the city reacted quickly, and the crossbow on the wall of the city did not hit the knights of the Bingzhou army who went to demonstrate. However, the knights of the Bingzhou army did not dare to stay long, and they retreated from the city of Yuanxian before the second round of crossbow arrows arrived.

Due to the problem of distance, no one could see the face of the head of Zhu County, so after a short commotion, the Yongjun army in Yuan County still regained calm, and they all believed that Jingxing would not die like this, and the "mighty and world-famous" Hedong County Guard was still on the city tower and was with them.

Huangfu Jian frowned and thought for a moment, then said to Wang Rong, "Although the Yongjun army in the city is chaotic, they think that the main general is still there and still has the strength to fight. I thought it was time to withdraw."

Without waiting for Wang Rong to speak, the impatient Wuluo on the side objected: "Our successive victories are the time to wipe out the Yongjun army in Yuanxian County in one fell swoop, why retreat at this time?!"

When Lang Zeqing heard Huang Fujian's words, he also looked at him with a little doubt.

Huang Fujian explained: "The Jingxing on the upper floor of the city must be fake, this time our army and the Yongjun army in Hedong have fought several fierce battles, and it has been broken, and now our army has killed Jingxing and defeated the Yongjun army in Hedong, why bother to lose more sergeants for this fake Jingxing? The top priority at the moment is to gather troops and advance into Hedong County."

Wang Rong raised his eyebrows, he really doubted whether this was Jingxing's plan, and asked, "Then what if this Jingxing is real?"

It was Jingxing's act of abandoning the car to protect the commander, which made him think that he had killed Jingxing, and then achieved his goal, unwilling to lose the sergeant again, gave up the siege, and after plundering, he retreated to the state.

But Wang Rong also knew that this was most impossible, unless Jing Xing knew that Wang Rong was going west to merge with the state, and the purpose of fighting him was purely for fame.

Instead of the previous rebellion of the state, the northern army went south to attack Linhe County, wanting to invade Guanzhong, attack Xushan, shake the rule of the Xushan court, or plunder Yongzhou.

But Wang Rong was still a little shaken in his heart, in case Jingxing really saw through the thoughts in his heart, what if the Jingxing on the city tower was real?

After all this experience, Wang Rong no longer dares to underestimate anyone in this era, let alone a famous general in Yongguo.

Wang Rong looked at the "Jingxing" on the city tower for a while, and he was really a little undecided.

The fierce battle outside the city of Yuanxian County did cause the sergeants under Wang Rong's command to be seriously reduced. The Bingzhou army under Wang Rong first fought with the Yong army under the command of Jing Xing in the wilderness of Yuan County, and then after a brief rest, they launched an offensive to clear the Yong army camp outside Yuan County.

According to Huang Fujian's statistics, the largest casualties in the Bingzhou army were the trapped warriors and volunteer cavalry of the Xincheng army.

To this day, only 3,000 people can still fight in the Bingzhou Army's trapped brigade, and 2,900 people can fight in the Yicong Brigade.

The more than 1,000 elite guards of the right army sent by the Chinese army to support the right army of the Bingzhou Army were only more than 600 people left, and even the second capital, Marquis Yu, Wang Huang, was killed in battle.

The right army of the Bingzhou Army led by An Hao was broken through by the elite of the Yong Army led by Huang Qing during the field battle. Today, there are fewer than 10,000 sergeants capable of fighting.

Under the command of Lang Zeqing, the left army of the Bingzhou Army was on par with the right position of the Yong army, and his orderly dispatch made it not suffer many casualties.

However, when the Yong army attacked Beizhai outside the city of Yuan County, the left army under his command assumed the responsibility of the main attack, and there were nearly 3,000 casualties.

That is to say, there were originally more than five people in the Bingzhou army under Wang Rong, and now there are more than 30,000 people who can still go into battle.

In the past two days, there have been tens of thousands of casualties in the state army, and the mortality rate of swords and other external injuries in this era is extremely high.

Even some high-ranking generals may die of injuries and illnesses, let alone these ordinary soldiers.

Although there is no shortage of herbal medicine in the mountains of Bingzhou, there is a great shortage of doctors, and although there is a military medical department, the number of military doctors is still in short supply. Therefore, the wounded sergeants of the Bingzhou army are better than the Yong soldiers, and the mortality rate is lower, but the disability rate is not

comparable.

When Wang Rong was in the wounded barracks of the state army in Guangmu City, many people in the wounded barracks were carried out of the camp every day. They either died of infection, or from bursting wounds, and perhaps even from being wounded alive.

At that time, the military doctors of the Bingzhou Army under the command of the Yongjun who took care of the wounded soldiers were much lower than the military doctors recruited by Wang Rong now, and their medical skills were much lower, and they could not save everyone at all.

Even in later generations, the level of medical care rose sharply, but the mortality rate of wounded soldiers remained high, and it was not until the discovery of penicillin that the mortality rate of wounded soldiers decreased.

The loss of troops was too large, which is why Huang Fujian captured the head of Jingxing, and after achieving his goal, he proposed that Wang Rong wave his army to Hedong County and give up continuing to exterminate the Yong army in the city.

Although the Yong army in Yuan County should only have six or seven thousand people left, although the city defense is weak and morale is low. However, the attack of the state army also cost two or three thousand men, to say the least.

And even if the Yong army in Yuan County is completely destroyed, Hongnong County will not be able to hold it, making it the chassis of Wang Rong, and the geographical location of Hongnong County determines that Wang Rong cannot defend at all. If Wang Rong had the strength to occupy Hongnong County, then he could now take the capital of the Guanzhong Imperial Court. It's a pity that neither the logistics nor the strength of the state army can support Wang Rong to occupy Hongnong County.

Although Wang Rong still has more than 30,000 people, if he dares to invade Xushan, not to mention that there are still guarded forbidden troops, tall walls and moats. It was enough to devour Wang Rong's troops with all the reinforcements from all walks of life.

The family foundation of the state army is too thin, and it is very good to be self-sufficient within the territory of the state, and it cannot support the army at all. Nowadays, the people of the state are even sometimes required to survive by the state army.

This is also one of the reasons why Huang Fujian has always been obsessed with Hedong County. Hedong County is surrounded by large rivers to the west and south, as long as you hold a few ferries, you can keep the Yong army out, and the west and east are surrounded by mountains, even if Hedong County is lost, the impact on the state is not great. There are also plains and salt ponds in Hedong County, which are places where grain and salt are produced, which can not only provide grain, but also provide finance and taxation, which is very important for the resumption of production and the development of strength in the state.

Wang Wei tugged on the reins, stopped Chiyun's restless steps, looked back at everyone and said in a deep voice, "No matter whether the Jingxing in the city is true or not, I will capture Yuan County!"

Wang Rong looked around at everyone, raised his left hand into a fist, and swung it down suddenly. Under the black flag, a crisp wooden whistle suddenly sounded, and the four command flags waved.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The high-spirited war drums were beaten by the shirtless soldiers of the Bingzhou Army's personal guard battalion.

The next moment, the large array of the Bingzhou army outside the city of Yuan County slowly moved forward, and in front of the large array, there was also a sound of trumpets like a sea of mountains.

The soldiers of the state army pushed huge siege rams, and tall siege equipment such as ladders and wells suddenly began to accelerate.

The tall well march is at the forefront of the military formation of the Bingzhou army, although the production process of the Bingzhou army is not as good as that of the craftsmen of the Yongjun army. However, the city wall of Yuanxian County is only two zhang, and the well is seven or eight meters high, and the state army can still make it.

After all, there are indeed a lot of craftsmen in the Bingzhou army, and there is also a group of craftsmen that Wang Rong collected in various counties in Bingzhou before, and their ability is also enough.

At the top of the tall well was a huge fenced platform, on which stood more than forty crossbowmen of the state army.

The pressure brought by these wells to the Yong army in Yuanxian County was undoubtedly huge, and when the Jingqi arrived, the state army could condescendingly shoot them.

However, the Yongjun army did not have any effective cover in the city to cover it, and the well of the state army was undoubtedly huge in terms of killing and suppressing in the heart.

Although the threat of rockets to Jing Qian was huge, Ming Xuan did not expect that the Bingzhou Army would still have such siege equipment as Jing Qian.

These wells should have been smuggled into the camp by the state army yesterday night.

In addition to rockets, the only thing that can pose a threat to the well in Yuanxian County is the bed crossbow, and there are only eight in the entire Yuanxian County. Six of the eight bed crossbows were also placed on the other three walls of Yuan County by Ming Xuan to defend against the armies of the other three sides.

Now it is just the south of Yuan County

There were eight of the Jing Lang cars of the Bingzhou Army, and there were 14 Jing Lang cars of the Bingzhou Army that mainly attacked the west city of Yuan County.

Not to mention the ladders and crashes in the state army, the low city walls like Yuanxian County are even more than three meters in some places, and even short ladders can be erected.

Holding a hard bow, Wuluo stood on top of the well, and the low city wall of the county town in front of him was getting closer and closer. The Yongjun running on the wall of Yuanxian County was in full view of him.

"Put!"

With the order of the Yongjun army, the bed crossbow was suddenly activated by the wrestlers of the Yongjun army, and two spear spears as thick as small arms shot out. Two spears pierced the muffled air, bringing a gust of wind, and one of the spears missed its target, deviated from its position and fell to the ground. The other spear gun swept over the tall well and plunged headlong into the dense military formation of the Bingzhou army behind the well, and the two soldiers of the Bingzhou army in the military formation were nailed to the ground on the spot by this spear gun.

Oblivious to all of this, Uro took a deep breath and pulled an armor-piercing cone from his quiver at his waist and gently fastened it to the bowstring.

"Whew! ——」

A sharp whistle sounded, and Uluo felt a sudden shock under his feet, and the well suddenly accelerated, and the ladder next to him also moved forward.

The Yongjun army in front of him is becoming clearer and clearer, and the Yongjun army under the command of the crossbow on the bed and the armor on his body can be seen clearly by Wuluo.

Uluo's hands suddenly exerted force, and the hard bow in his hand was suddenly pulled into a full moon shape. Just listening to the sound of the bowstring, the armor-piercing cone in his hand has broken through the air.

On the wall of Yuanxian County, the Yongjun who was ordering his men to reload their spears and guns staggered to the ground. An armor-piercing cone shot through his face, piercing through the back of his head. This armor-piercing cone was exactly what Ulo had just shot.

The sergeant Yong, who was still loading spears and spears next to the crossbow on the bed, suddenly did not hear the shouts of the officers, looked up at their ranks, and was immediately frightened by this scene.
