Chapter 255: Like a Blooming Red Rose
What happened in the urn city, of course, could not hide the Liangzhou army outside the urn city, the commander of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, was the former Yongguo Pingxi general Ma Ming, at this moment he looked at the closed city gate, the heads of people on the city wall, and shook the horse whip in his hand hatefully.
Of course, Ma Ming would not stupidly take the cavalry under his command to attack the city, he had to give up rescuing the more than 5,000 Xiliang iron cavalry trapped in the urn city, more than 5,000 elites, let him experience what it is like to feel heartbroken.
At this moment, Ma Ming was afraid for a while, just a little bit, fortunately he didn't rush into the city, if he really followed into the city, then he was the one who fell into the urn city.
The deputy general of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Meng Ji, suggested: "General, the situation in the city is unknown at this time, and we are even more blind to the surrounding situation, if we wait to find out the situation in Yongxian County and its surroundings, it will not be too late to attack the city."
Meng Ming's suggestion was very much in line with Ma Ming's heart, and he waved his hand and shouted loudly, "Withdraw the troops!"
Yuan Tiangang stood at the head of the city, and saw the Xiliang Iron Cavalry on the opposite side retreating, and finally let go of his hanging heart, if these Xiliang Iron Cavalry were enough to make the first iron, with the preparations that the Xiandeng Dead Soldiers were doing now, even if they resisted their attack, the Xiandeng Dead Soldiers would suffer heavy casualties.
"Sledgehammer."
Yuan Tiangang turned around and saw Wang Rong and Li Sujie wearing armor, pressing the handle of their sabers with their hands on them, and swaggering forward.
Yuan Tiangang gave a military salute to the two and said, "Military commander, military Sima."
Wang Rong also returned a military salute, he held the wall battlement with his right hand, and looked at the retreating Xiliang Iron Cavalry, only to see that the enemy army was in order, and there was quite an order between advancing and retreating.
If the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was just a group of rabble, and could only fight a little tailwind, it is estimated that they have been frightened by it now, how dare they stay in the city any longer, hurry up and shout three and drink four, shout five and drink six, and prepare to slip away.
Wang Rong sighed: "Su Jie, this Xiliang Iron Cavalry is really an elite soldier, it suddenly encountered an accident, but the formation is so neat, and the military appearance is still serious, this battle is not easy to fight."
If the formation of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was not in order when it withdrew, and the retreat was not in order, Wang Rong really wanted to send troops to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to be ruthless.
When the Xiliang Iron Cavalry retreated, he was encountering the three princes who were marching towards Yongxian.
When the eldest prince Qin Yu saw Ma Ming and Meng with a gray face, he chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Ma Ming! Monteze! What's going on? Why is there only half of the Iron Rider, and the other half?"
Ma Ming listened to Qin Ming's inquiry, and reported to Qin Yu with a ashamed face: "Holy Lord, we have fallen for the female cadres of the Bingzhou Army, and more than half of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has fallen into the urn city."
Qin Yu listened to Ma Ming's words, held the hilt of the knife in his hand, and wanted to pull it out several times and kill Ma Ming in front of him, he asked with hatred, "They have fallen into the urn city, what are you doing outside the city?"
Ma Mingne couldn't speak, he couldn't stand the Meng Mo on the side, he stepped forward, bowed down and saluted, "Holy Lord, this state army is extremely cunning, luring us with an empty city, and we are isolated from the city. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a cavalry, and they don't have the siege equipment at hand, so they can't attack the city to rescue their comrades who have fallen into the urn city."
Qin Mu listened, his face was angry, Qin Mu saw Qin Yu's gaffe, and quickly pressed his eldest brother's hand on the hilt of the knife.
Qin Mu persuaded Qin Yu and said, "Brother, calm your anger, we all thought that the Bingzhou army would retreat all the way to Pinyang and Gaonu, but Wang Rong has a lot of ideas, does he think that all the Bingzhou troops are Wei Wushu?"
Qin Xu's face had a gloomy expression, he looked at the Yongxian city wall in the distance, and said in a cold voice: "Yongxian, as the old capital of the Qin Dynasty, where the temples of the Qin and Yong dynasties are located, is now occupied by a chaotic thief, and the officials below the Yongxian county order really should be killed!"
Qin Mu looked at Qin Xuan and said helplessly, "It is because of the topography of Yongxian County that it was chosen as the capital and the location of the Zongmiao."
Yongxian County is the "Trench River" with the river as the city, and it is the "Qin Capital on the Water". The city wall is also high and thick, and the defense facilities such as the urn city and the horse face wall are of the younger generations.
The three brothers had no choice but to set up camp and continue to wait for a good opportunity.
The three of them felt very depressed, this was originally planned well, first send the Xiliang Iron Cavalry General and the state army to entangle, and then use the pass
The topographical advantage of the Central Plains, as well as the advantage of being outnumbered, were able to successfully annihilate the army of the state on this plain.
But what the three brothers didn't expect was that the Bingzhou army did not retreat on the Guanzhong Plain as they thought, but retreated into Yongxian County and defended the city.
The Yongjun camp was soon established, and the three brothers sat in the tent, and at this time, Jing Yao entered the tent.
Qin Xuan had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and as soon as he saw Jing Yao coming in, he hurriedly asked, "Jing Qing, how is the situation in Yongxian?"
"Don't worry, saints."
Jing Yao, a member of the Jiangyingjing clan in Nanjun, is the same clan of the late Shoujingxing in Hedong County, but the two have already come out of the five suits. Jing Yao was originally the general of Dayong Pingdong, but was later persuaded by Jing Xing to join the camp of the second prince and was appointed as the commander of Hongnong County, the young master of the prince, and the general of Yulin Zhonglang. Now the cavalry in his hands is all the cavalry belongings of the second prince Qin Xu, and the scouts are also under his jurisdiction.
I saw Jing Yao come to the map, pointed to Yongxian County on the map and said to the three princes: "Saints, there are not many people in this Yongxian County, only 30,000 people, and there are no reinforcements around, but it is just an empty city plan played by the Bingzhou army. Today, the city can earn more than 5,000 wolf horsemen from the state into the urn city, it is just a coincidence."
Jing Yao was already very face-saving to Qin Yao, he didn't want to say that Xiliang Tieqi lost half of his soldiers and horses because of his arrogance, which was already polite.
When Qin Yu heard this, he immediately became furious and kicked over the table in front of him.
He was furious and said, "I knew it wasn't that simple. Ma Ming and Meng Ming, two idiots, can't even see through such a simple plan, it's really infuriating to me."
Seeing Qin Yu angry, Qin Mu hurriedly persuaded him: "Brother is angry, brother is angry, if you want to blame, the state army is too cunning, Ma Ming and Meng Ming don't know the reality of the enemy army, so they suffered a small loss. Tomorrow the siege of the city will bring the king and the thief to his true form."
Qin Yu didn't want to say more about today's situation, the defeat was indeed embarrassing. Hearing Qin Mu's persuasion, he said fiercely, "If I fight again tomorrow, I will cut off the head of Wang Rong's dog to vent the anger in my heart."
In today's daytime battle, more than 5,000 Xiliang iron cavalry were killed, and the state army won a great victory, sweeping away the frustration of chickens, flying dogs and jumping that had been driven for many days.
Wang Rong looked at the cheering soldiers, and a smile appeared on his face. Li Sujie turned his head to Wang Rong and said, "Zhong Ming, now that the morale of our army is strong, there is some hope for this defense of the city."
Wang Rong smiled and said, "Not only do we have some hope, but don't forget, we still have a strange army outside the city. And these tripartite alliances are not as flawless as they seem on the surface, and the three of them can be said to have no trust in each other."
Early the next morning, the Yongjun camp buried the pot early to make rice, and the soldiers of the Yongjun army quickly used breakfast and prepared to attack Yongxian again, so as to be ashamed of the snow.
Although the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was damaged, there were still 160,000 or 70,000 soldiers of the three armies. Due to the rush of time, and the fact that the three princes had always thought that they were going to fight a decisive battle on the plains, they did not build sharp siege equipment.
The soldiers of the Yongjun army carried a simple wooden ladder, beat the war drums, and rushed to the Yongxian city wall in the rumbling drums.
Wang Rong stood at the head of the city, looked at the Yongjun who looked like ants under the city wall, and said with emotion: "Su Jie, I never thought that one day, I would be the enemy of the Yongjun, looking at the posture of these soldiers attacking the city, the Yongjun army is still as strong as when the first emperor was alive."
Li Sujie's face was solemn, and he said, "Zhong Ming, now is not the time to sigh about this, the more well-trained the Yongjun is, the more dangerous it will be for us."
Today's Yongxian city is not much different from yesterday's, and the city is still unusually quiet. The gates were closed, and the drawbridge over the moat was pulled up.
When Qin Yu saw Wang Rong standing on the head of the city, calm and unrestrained, he trembled with anger and scolded angrily, "Traitor! You are so bold and dare to come to Guanzhong with such a small number of soldiers and horses, today is your death!"
Qin Yu turned around and shouted to the people behind him, "Soldiers! Capture Yongxian! Capture the king alive! 100 Gold Rewards! The one who gets the corpse of the king! Two levels of knighthood!"
Yongjun behind him
The soldiers, regardless of camp, all screamed, sweeping away the bad luck of the previous Xiliang Iron Cavalry fiasco.
The Yongjun army who swarmed up was still more than fifty steps away from the city wall, and suddenly saw a black human head on the city, and then saw a dense array of arrows shooting at him.
At the same time, the utensils covered by the black silk cloth on the head of the city also revealed their true faces, and the black silk cloth was torn apart, making the Yong soldiers under the city wall gasp, these utensils were bed crossbows, and the sharp and thick spears and spears were steaming with bloodthirsty cold light, which made people shudder.
The armor on the Yongjun soldier can still defend against bows and arrows, and if it is far away, the crossbow arrows can also block it. But the crossbow gun fired by the bed crossbow is like a sharp blade through paper.
The bed crossbow is strengthened by twisting the string, as few as four people, as many as six people can pull the bowstring of the bed crossbow, equipped with a crossbow gun like a short spear, the spear blade is two feet long, and the spear shaft is made of brittle wood, so that not only the spear blade can kill the enemy, but after the spear shaft is broken, the spear shaft fragments flying everywhere can also bring damage to the enemy.
The Yongjun army who ran to the city wall of Yongxian County was very miserable, they not only had to face the shooting of bows and arrows and crossbow arrows, and when they came to the city wall, they also had to bear the wood and boulders thrown down from the city, and those who ran slowly would be destroyed by the unstoppable crossbow guns.
The soldiers of the Yongjun army under the city wall of Yongxian County were like ripe wheat, which were put down one by one, and the blood was like a blooming red rose, painting the fields outside the city blood-red.
