Chapter 147: Bayan Zhuor City

There are still quite a lot of strategies in Ye Ling's chest that can capture Bayan Zhuoer, such as fatigue tactics, Da Zhao has an army of 630,000, and the defenders of Bayan Zhuoer can make them mentally break down, but now that the soldiers are fast, Ye Lingyan doesn't have time to drag on here for more than 20 days. If the Rakshasa army is mobilized, then the strategic objectives of this expedition will all be wasted.

Is it necessary to let the Dragon Soul Iron Cavalry fight in advance now, Ye Lingyan frowned, the Dragon Soul Iron Cavalry and the 20,000 veterans of the Xiao Cavalry Army have Tianma, Tianma can fly in a short time, and it is no problem to attack Bayan Zhuoer, with the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Soul Iron Cavalry and the Xiao Cavalry Army, the inside and outside should be combined, and it is not too difficult to capture Bayan Zhuoer, but Ye Lingyan is not reconciled, this Dragon Soul Iron Cavalry is Lin Ruofeng's killer weapon, and it is not Ye Lingyan's killer weapon, it has been hidden for so many years, if you take out a small battle like Bayan Zhuoer, and expose the strategic mount of Tianma in advance, it is better to bypass Bayan Zhuoer, and wait for the follow-up infantry to come over and let Shi Da attack the city。

Ye Ling Yan walked back and forth, Lin Ruofeng and Xiao Aotian didn't see any good way, both of them are good generals who are proficient in tactics, for this kind of siege warfare in addition to rigorous siege tactics, there is no other good way, in the past two days, the Praetorian Guard and the Xiao Cavalry have lost a lot of soldiers in this Bayan Zhuoer's tentative attack, not only the Praetorian Guards have lost more than 2,000 deaths, but the brave and good Xiao Cavalry has also suffered more than 200 casualties, although the Xiao Cavalry is more good at battlefield ambulance, and there are not many deaths, but the morale is Yan zhòng frustrated。

This is also the first time that the cavalry army has suffered such heavy casualties, and this is just a tentative attack, if it is officially attacked. Lin Ruofeng didn't know how many brothers would die, and the cavalry siege was never very reliable.

Ye Ling shook a few times. Finally made up his mind, and his right hand was clenched into a fist and slammed it on the table!

"Launch a formal attack!" The Praetorian Guard sent 50,000 cavalry to dismount and form infantry. Regardless of whether you use the door panels or the linen cloth, try to protect the soldiers, the task of these temporary infantry is to capture a city wall from the west or the north at any cost, remember, at the same time, 30,000 cavalry are sent to suppress the eastern wall of Bayan Zhuoer with cavalry, not far from the Yellow River in the south. There is no way to deploy the troops, so they will not attack, and only need to leave 3,000 cavalry to sweep the formation. The Xiao cavalry army dispatched 10,000 cavalry to cooperate with the Praetorian Guard to attack the city, and suppressed the archers and other Rakshasa soldiers on the city wall with cavalry archery, your cavalry soldiers have a long range and high accuracy, your role is very important, as long as you completely suppress the Rakshasa soldiers on the city wall, the pressure on the Praetorian Guards attacking the city can be much less!"

"As for the other soldiers. On standby in the rear army, this Bayan Zhuoer is so big, and the attack of 60,000 troops on both walls is already very reluctant, and the reserves are arranged. Ready to take over the siege troops at any time, Ben Shuai doesn't believe it, this Bayan Zhuoer can still be an iron wall!"

"Xiao Aotian takes the order!"

"Lin Ruofeng commands!"

"Report—" A herald ran in. He also held a small piece of white paper in his hand, rolled up in a ball. It looks like it was taken from a carrier pigeon.

Ye Lingyan took the letter and stretched out his hand to spread it.

"Hmph! Sure enough, it's him. Rovich, this cunning little fox!"

Lin Ruofeng's heart moved, "Dashuai, is this Rovich very powerful?"

Ye Ling Yan nodded, and watched the herald next to him light the candle and move the white paper in his hand above the flame, and the white paper turned into ashes in a short time.

"This Rovic's full name is Il Chekov? Rowitch, is a Rakshasa famous young Zhuang officer, although only in his 40s, but is a famous Rakshasa Rakshasa at best, he is at best a third-rate officer level, cavalry command is even more general, but the defensive ability is second to none in Rakshasa This person is very cautious, careful as a hair, as a general in the 10 years, Rovitch has experienced dozens of battles with our Da Zhao and Rakshasa civil strife, but he has never lost a city and a pass in his hands, and his defensive ability is no less than Hao Zhao of Wei in the Three Kingdoms era, and even better than the famous defensive general Zhang Xun of the Tang Dynasty will not be much worse, if it is not for his ability in other aspects, plus his qualifications are shallow, I'm afraid he has long been a feudal official. It's not easy to defend the city with him, and with him, the difficulty of this siege is multiplied!"

Lin Ruofeng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this Luo Wei to be so powerful, Ye Ling Yan actually compared him with Hao Zhao and Zhang Xun, which means that this Luo Wei is quite powerful, Hao Zhao needless to say, more than 3,000 troops are holding Chen Cang to the death, so that Zhuge Liang, a famous general who has led tens of thousands of troops, has nothing to do with him, wasted more than 20 days, and after losing countless soldiers in vain, he can only take the army on a detour.

Zhang Xun, almost a grandmaster-level figure in the city wall defense battle, the most representative is the Suiyang Defensive Battle, during the Anshi Rebellion, Anqingxu sent Yin Ziqi to lead 130,000 thieves to invade the Jianghuai barrier - Suiyang, and Zhang Xun, who guarded Ningling, led troops to reinforce. Zhang Xun was ordered to fight to the death with the enemy with the soldiers, and led thousands of soldiers to fight to the death against the enemy. He used his soldiers like a god, won many battles, broke the enemy's goose cart to attack the city, and used clever tricks to grab grain from the enemy, and then burned the enemy's firewood, and then used the straw man to borrow 100,000 arrows, and defended Suiyang without grain and grass inside, and without reinforcements outside, killing and wounding tens of thousands of enemy troops, causing the enemy to suffer heavy losses. Although in the end, due to the lack of backup, the city was broken and martyred, but he made immortal contributions to quell the rebellion and protect the people of Jianghuai and Limin. After his death, he was posthumously crowned the third prince of Tongzhen, and the people of Putian respected him as Sima Shengwang.

What kind of person is Zhang Xun, the difference between the enemy and our strength is thirty times, there is no food and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, not only held Suiyang for several months, but also killed the enemy army that was ten times his own strength, and Hao Zhao, Chen Cang occupied the right time and place, the grain and grass were sufficient, the whole general trend was favorable to the Wei State, and the reinforcements could arrive at any time.

Lin Ruofeng asked in a low voice: "Dashuai, then can we still attack the city?"

Ye Lingyan took a breath and said affirmatively: "Attack, why don't you attack, according to the original plan, continue to execute, he is powerful, and Ben Shuai is not a vegetarian!"

"Yes, then I will retire!"

Xiao Aotian saw Lin Ruofeng retreat, and also said goodbye.

"Slow!" Lin Ruofeng and Xiao Aotian turned around, and Ye Lingyan said: "If the casualties exceed 50,000, stop the attack, and after a day's rest, bypass Bayan Zhuoer, and leave it to the follow-up infantry to solve, we can't delay any longer." ”

Ye Ling Yan is still a person who can afford to let go, and understands that the main strategic goal of the army is important, and he is unwilling to spend too much time on this hard bone, even if he Ye Ling Yan did not capture Bayan Zhuoer in the future, but took a detour, which affected his prestige, and it was never as important as the final strategic goal this time.

"The last general commands!" Lin Ruofeng and Xiao Aotian said in unison!

"Knock, knock, knock!" The dull and stirring sound of the war drums began to resound throughout the sky,

When the desolate horn began to sound, the Great Zhao soldiers who seemed to be like a tide began to take solid steps, and their eyes were firmly and fiercely pressed towards Bayan Zhuoer Town.

These infantry are temporarily formed after the Praetorian Guard cavalry dismounts, fortunately, the Praetorian Guard is an important armed force defending Kyoto, and foot combat is also a subject of their compulsory training and long-term training, it can be said that the Praetorian Guard is an elite cavalry on the horse, and the dismounted is an excellent infantry, in addition to not having the necessary siege equipment, it is quite reliable for them to attack the city。

After day and night, these temporary infantry finally had decent siege equipment, at least the ladder was there, and the rushing car that rushed to the city gate was also available, and it was not as shabby as before.

So the Great Zhao army set up hundreds of cloud ladders, on which more than a dozen people could stand, and the surrounding was covered by wooden planks. The warriors each set up a short ladder and a soft rope, listened to the beating of drums in the army, and attacked the city wall together. Standing on the enemy tower, the cloak on his body was waving in the wind, his resolute face did not have a trace of fear, he looked unusually calm and calm, and saw from a distance that the Dazhao infantry mounted a ladder and steadily approached the town of Bayanzor, and immediately ordered 10,000 Cossack cavalrymen who were good at archery to come to the city wall immediately, draw their bows and shoot arrows, and were ready to ignite the coarse cloth that had already been dyed with fire oil on the tail of the arrow to form rockets, which were distributed on the west and north walls; 3,000 Cossack cavalrymen stood on the east wall with ordinary bows and arrows just in case.

When Da Zhao's ladder approached the city wall, Rovitch gave an order, and the ignited rockets pounced on Da Zhao's ladder like locusts, Lin Ruofeng hurriedly ordered the Xiao cavalry to quickly drive their horses forward and let the Xiao cavalry snipe these Cossack cavalry who were shooting rockets.

"Boom-boom-" For a while, the sky became chaotic, with fiery red rockets and black iron arrows of the cavalry, shuttling back and forth. Countless Cossack cavalry were nailed to the city wall, and since the Xiao cavalry learned the method of twisting arrows from the Night Rain Fairy, the range of the bow and arrow has greatly increased, and the accuracy has also been greatly improved because of the training of the Rouran system, and in less than five minutes, thousands of Cossack cavalry rocket archers were shot by the Xiao cavalry.

However, the Da Zhao soldiers are not much better here, Ye Ling Yan thought that Bayan Zhuoer was not prepared, so he built a cloud ladder, so that the three armies shouted and entered, I didn't expect that the city actually fired rockets, the cloud ladders were all lit, as if hell on earth, the Da Zhao soldiers on the ladder were burned to death, and the terrible screams Lin Ruofeng two thousand miles away were terrified, at the same time, the arrows and rolling stones on the city fell from the city like a torrential rain, the Da Zhao soldiers suffered heavy losses, thousands of foot soldiers died on the bow and arrow and the rolling stone boiling wood without even seeing the enemy, the cloud ladder was almost all destroyed, and the tools for attacking the city wall were gone, and the soldiers of Da Zhao could only retreat。 (To be continued......)
