Chapter 227: Yezhou Crisis (Third Watch)
The law of defending the city of Yezhou dealt a heavy blow to the North Vietnamese army.
On the first day, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and in the following days, because the city walls were too wet and cold, the soldiers became feverish, and the morale of the North Vietnamese army was suddenly low.
This made Liu Bai very anxious, and desperately issued a military order to urge the soldiers to attack the city, but looking at the glazed city wall like the Heavenly Palace, no one was willing to go anymore.
The ice surface is smooth, and it is easy to melt into water, and if it is not good, it will fall from above, and the Wei Jiajun have nothing to do, as long as they put cold arrows from above and below, the North Vietnamese army will not have any power to resist.
This method of defending the city was so powerful that it stopped the offensive of the North Vietnamese army at once.
Their side lost, and Yezhou had a short-lived victory.
In the past few days, Xie Zhiyun let the soldiers rest well, let the logistics soldiers replace the city wall for a while, and the people also had a rare rest for two days, and then continued to pack firewood and charcoal.
Because of this short period of peace, the city of Yezhou was thriving, but Zhou Chenglin did not completely relax, he was always worried about the 30,000 people who were about to arrive.
Xie Zhiyun saw that the old general was worried, and comforted him: "Old general, it's okay, the soldiers will come to block, the water will come to cover the earth, our soldiers are still there, the people are still there, the rice, flour, grain, oil and military supplies can still be supported, and it is already our luck to steal more days." ”
"It's better to rest and recuperate first, and wait for the next strong attack."
She said very reasonably, and Zhou Chenglin loosened his brows: "Okay." ”
"Even if the Wei family army only kills the last person left, I won't let them step into Yezhou half a step."
Ten days later, scouts arrived to report the arrival of reinforcements from the North Vietnamese army.
At the same time, the weather that was supposed to be cold suddenly warmed up, and when the golden black hung in the sky in the early morning, Xie Zhiyun's heart sank suddenly.
Sure enough, before noon, the glazed city wall that had been finally watered had turned into water.
Of course, the North Vietnamese army would not let go of this great opportunity, and they swarmed up under the urging of Liu Bai and began to storm the city violently with three times the number of troops they had previously had.
A new round of fighting broke out quickly.
Yezhou is back in the middle of the war.
Just when Yezhou was tired of defending the city, Tongchuan at the border also encountered a fierce enemy attack.
The garrison quickly attacked that day and bit off a piece of Murong Rin's flesh, not only destroying more than 5,000 troops of the Great Qi, but also severely inflicting Murong Rin, leaving him with no way to lead his troops to fight again.
This great victory boosted the morale of the soldiers, and then it was a big victory for several days, which made the morale of Daqi low.
In just two months, Daqi had already spent tens of thousands of troops, because it was far away from its homeland, the armaments could not be supplied in time, the soldiers were sleepy and lacking, and they did not have so much ambition to fight.
After encountering so many defeats, the morale of the Great Qi army was shaken all of a sudden.
Wei Ji was never a respite for his opponents, he took advantage of the victory to pursue, cooperated with Yu Dalang who was far away in Longsui, and forced the Daqi garrison back for fifty miles.
But Murong Rin is the scheming general, he pretended to retreat on one side, and lurked in front of Tongchuan on the other side, wanting to take advantage of Tongchuan's slack to attack Tongchuan and kill Wei Cang without leaving a piece of armor.
Wei Cang was never afraid, nor would he panic.
When the scout reported to the army, Wei Cang directly commanded the main army out of the city and launched a fierce battle with the main force of Daqi.
This fight is five days.
On the sixth day, Wei Cang did not wait for the withdrawal of the Great Qi, he waited for the more fierce attack of the Great Qi and the military report of the North Vietnamese court.
At that time, Wei Cang was about to step out of the camp, but when he heard the military report that the North Vietnamese army had besieged Yezhou and had been unsuccessful for a month, his tall figure still shook.
On the side, Wei Rong hurriedly stepped forward and helped Wei Cang: "General! ”
He was anxious, but Wei Cang didn't speak, and he didn't say either.
Wei Cang turned around and looked at the adjutant general: "When will the young general arrive?" ”
Murong Rin had already transferred all the main forces to Tongchuan, leaving not too many people in Fengling and Longsui.
So the garrison handed over Fengling to Yu Dalang, and he led five troops to Tongchuan to support.
The adjutant general hurriedly said: "The young general set off in the starry night, and the fast horse should have arrived." ”
Wei Cang nodded, he took a deep breath and looked back at the soldiers in the tent.
Each of them has relatives in Yezhou, and no one can be indifferent when they hear the news.
Wei Cang said in a deep voice: "Tongchuan can't be broken, and the frontier can't be broken, we need to hold it here, and we have to protect the frontier of North Vietnam." ”
"Otherwise, the plains of a flat river will not be able to stop the iron cavalry of Daqi."
The generals knew very well in their hearts, so after Wei Cang said this, no one refuted.
But each of them was very sad, worried about their relatives at home, and worried about Yezhou, which they had guarded for many years.
Just then, there was the sound of determined footsteps outside.
Immediately after, a tall and straight figure appeared in front of everyone.
Wei Cang's handsome face did not have any expression on it, he walked in quickly, saluted everyone, and then looked at Wei Cang and gave a military salute: "General." ”
Wei Cang nodded, he stretched out his hand and looked at his son with blazing eyes.
"Boss, I just got the news that Sima Ling sent 70,000 people to besiege Yezhou."
Wei Ji's pupils shook slightly, but he didn't lose his temper, he still stood there steadily, looking at Wei Cang firmly.
Wei Cang said: "Fengling has the Yu family Lang stationed, Longsui has Brother Yu, and Tongchuan has me." ”
With the original garrison in Tongchuan, there are now 70,000 people in Tongchuan, plus 50,000 people still on the road, a total of 120,000 garrisons.
If so many people were in battle together, it would be much easier to deal with Daqi, but now they can't do that.
The halberd raised his head, his gaze met with his father, and he instantly understood what his father meant.
"Father, don't worry, I will guard Yezhou."
Wei Cang smiled comfortably.
He patted the guard on the shoulder and said, "I'll give you 10,000 ......."
Wei Cang paused, and then said: "I'll give you 20,000 people, you hurry back to Yezhou and beat Sima Ling's people back to Yingzhou." ”
Wei Cang said: "This time, let Sima Ling thoroughly understand what should be done and what should not be done." ”
Wei Ji didn't hesitate, he said directly: "Yes!" Commanded! ”
Wei Cang looked back at the generals, and the killing intent on his body spread.
"Brothers, let's go and kill Murong Rin together," Wei Cang laughed, "The sooner we solve Daqi, the sooner peace is restored." ”
"Do it or not!"
The generals' eyes were full of red, they raised their swords in the air, and said in unison: "Kill!" ”
The letter soldiers reported urgently, and the 50,000 people who turned back to Tongchuan transferred 20,000 to Yezhou, and the garrison himself took the elite soldiers around him and rushed back to the main force without delaying for a moment.
At this time, Yezhou did not know the dispatch of the border pass.
Wave after wave of sieges exhausted the soldiers, and today the North Vietnamese army almost succeeded in landing the city.
Yezhou is in an emergency.
