Chapter 245

Under the heavy snow, under the city of Suizhou, between the Zhou army and the Qi army, a tragic battle was underway. Arrows swept through the air, iron horses neighed, and powerful crossbows with a range of more than six hundred paces shot at the head of the city, and the sharp roar almost tore the eardrums and nailed to the city walls.

The army was surging, the iron flow was rolling, and countless Qi troops marched towards the city in the rain of arrows thrown by the Zhou army from the city. Under the city, the catapults and battering rams of the Qi people are ready, with the army of black pressure surging, one hundred and ten fiber ropes are pulled together, and a huge stone is violently thrown into the sky, smashed down on Suizhou City, each boulder falls, will harvest a lot of fresh life......

The Qi army shouted in unison, carrying ladders and other siege equipment, rushing forward one after another, quickly approaching the trench under the cover of the crossbowmen, and erecting the ladder on the trench to facilitate the sergeants behind to come up.

At the city gate, a bunch of Qi troops carried siege rams on their shoulders, a part of the Qi army held high the big shield to help the robes block the attack from the city, a big stone was thrown down from the city tower, the shields used by the Qi army to resist were instantly torn apart, the sergeants covered under the shield fell to the ground, and soon someone took their place, the rhythm of the siege was still orderly, icy and snowy, the rockets did not play much role in the Qi army, the Zhou army lifted several cauldrons of boiling oil, and poured down, and then the rockets fired in unison, and the Qi army besieging the city scattered in all directions......

Two days ago, the field battle between Wang Lin and Tian Hong in the suburbs of Suizhou ended with Wang Lin's victory. Although Tian Hong was newly defeated, he was a veteran after all, Wang Lin's pressure on him was fully used by him, and the Zhou army was more determined to defend the city.

Among the ten thousand armies, Wang Lin wore armor and supervised the battle in front of the battle, and under his high pressure, all the troops took turns to fight, chasing and beating the Zhou army in the city, and did not give the slightest respite. The Qi army invaded Anzhou from Jiangzhou, defeated the three-way Zhou army one after another, and paid a lot of casualties, and then turned to Suizhou, which was hard, and was no less than Gao Changgong to capture Nanyang and Deng County, fortunately, he finally rushed to Suizhou City before Xiangyang made a move, because there was plenty of food, grass and ordnance, so Wang Lin did not need to be as dangerous as Gao Changgong, he had the capital to slowly wipe out all the hidden dangers, leaving no trouble, and now, he is only a few steps away from success, as long as he takes the Suizhou in front of him, He can drive straight in and take Xiangyang!

He had never been so eager for military exploits as he was today, eager to break through this city, eager to bury the southeastern half of the Zhou Kingdom with his own hands! If he can take Xiangyang, then with the merits he has accumulated in the past, even if it is a king, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces can't say anything! He was originally a world-renowned warrior, and he had to be "sick" in Shouyang for more than ten years, and now is the time for him to come back to the battlefield to prove himself!

Unlike calmly crushing the Zhou army in Anzhou, Wang Lin's strings obviously collapsed in this attack. Suizhou has few troops, not as good as Anzhou, and Tian Hong's soldiers and horses are not more than 10,000, for Wang Lin, swallowing Tian Hong is just a matter of time. He hoped it would have been earlier. The food and grass of the army is not a problem, Jingxiang is rich, and it is also a good way to feed the war with war, as long as it can defeat the Zhou State with lightning speed, these are not a thing! The only thing that worried him was Gao Changgong's side.

He knew that Gao Changgong was very capable of fighting and prestigious, and he was a rising star in the Northern Qi Dynasty, but he was too young to know if he could resist the pressure of the Zhou army from all directions. He was concerned about this. Wang Lin is also famous as a teenager, and the commander who has been tempered by many vicious battles is on an equal footing with Zhang Zhaoda and Huang Fayan, so of course he is qualified to say this.

This is since the death of Emperor Wenxuan, the first large-scale expedition of the Qi State, deep into the enemy's territory, and when it is snowy weather, there are many mountains here, the transportation of grain and grass and baggage is a big problem, and the Qi army is very inexperienced in fighting in this environment, Gao Changgong fought too fiercely in the early stage, and captured a large territory of Zhou at once, and he didn't feel anything at first, but once Gao Changgong failed to attack Xiangyang, the disadvantages were revealed.

Gao Changgong's battle line was stretched too long, too deep into the enemy territory, and the food supply line was also infinitely extended, once the Zhou army sent a strong army to attack from behind, the supply line of the Qi army would be easily cut off. The more Qi troops there are, the more serious the supply consumption will be, and the longer the battle line will be, the more difficult it will be for the army to be unified in dispatch. This is also why Wang Lin was so anxious to respond to the decisive battle with Tian Hong, he was worried that before he reached Xiangyang, Gao Changgong collapsed in advance.

As a commander, he sees six roads, listens to all directions, takes one step and expects ten steps, soldiers and horses, military information, money and food, baggage, and even an inconspicuous small dispute in the barracks can have a more or less impact on the battle situation. Gao Changgong has just made a great achievement, and what he is most afraid of is that he will get carried away and be carried away by the invincibility since he went south, but fortunately, there is still a chance to remedy it......

Wang Lin must finish off Tian Hong in a short time!

Under the city of Suizhou, Wang Lin stood in the wind, quietly staring at the Shura hell in front of him like a flesh and blood grinding plate, for a long time, his legs knocked on the horse's belly, urging the horse forward, and the dozens of iron guards under his command advanced like an iron wall, and the long lance was raised, not moving like a mountain, Yecheng Forbidden Army Xiaoguo Battalion, this small elite army and Xianbei Baibao troops were personally selected by His Majesty the Emperor to reward Wang Lin's personal soldiers, they supported the commander of the army, just like a mountain, and raised the momentum of the entire army to a higher level.

"Pass my orders! The front army all pounced, first destroyed the enemy's defenses with stone cannons, and then waited for the opportunity to shoot the defenders! Two teams of 2,000 soldiers and horses on the left and right, 80 ladders, 15 watchtowers, and 3 battering rams...... Take turns to attack the city, don't give them any respite, today, don't break Suizhou, swear not to stop! ”

"He Ruobi!"

"The last general!"

"When I asked Lu Qian for someone, your old boss was reluctant, and now, I want to see what you are capable of." Wang Lin looked at a young general beside him with a smile, and his tone was kind, "Let you attack your homeland, do you have any mustard in your heart?" ”

“…… Since the last general is already a Qi general, he has nothing to do with the Great Zhou from now on, and he only knows how to serve His Majesty! ”

"Good! I will give you ten thousand bows and arrows, ten barrels of gunpowder, twenty barrels of oil, and a thousand foot soldiers...... Before it gets dark, you must take the South Gate! Wang Lin looked at the city, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, "These things I gave you are all divine weapons, use them well, raze this city, no problem!" ”

In front of Tianwei, what is Tian Hong?

The crowd was surging, and the sea was rushing towards the snow-shrouded city......

………………

South of Funiu Mountain, Zhejiang.

The cold winter is still raging on this land, and at the foot of the mountain, a withered yellow, with a few pale touches dotted in the mountains. The trees withered, everything frozen, and the heaven and earth were slaughtered, which also rendered this landscape with the killing intent of the cold.

"Gotta get it", the valley resounded with the crisp sound of horses' hooves, several birds and finches that were foraging in the snow flew up from the ground with a scream, a man and a horse jumped out of the valley, the knight's face was pale, and a feathered arrow was stuck in his back, which almost pierced into the flesh, at this time he waved his horsewhip violently, and galloped through this mountain range, and several horsemen behind him pursued fiercely, and the distance between the two sides gradually increased.

At this time, long arrows suddenly came on both sides of the mountain range, shooting several knights who were chasing, and the Qi army sentry horse escaped with his life, and suddenly lost his strength and fell into the snow. Someone helped him up, and a very tall, thick-armored general stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?" What is the situation of General Wei's headquarters now? ”

The soldier struggled to get up, but was pushed back to his place by the general, gasping for breath for a moment, and said weakly:

"Waiting for the sea, the captain is willing to be a general under the command of the general...... Wei Xuan stormed our army's headquarters, surrounded to death, our army was in a hurry, and several of our sentry cavalry sent out at the same time to ask for help, and in the end only I ran out......

"You ...... Was it reinforcements sent by the general? ”

"Yes, we came from Nanyang, on the order of the general, to rush to the aid of General Wei, how about General Wei?"

"General Wei is wounded and is fighting with wounds......"

"Can you hold it?"

"Our army can hold out for a few more days!"

"I mean, you, can you hold it?"

"I'm ......, just rest for two days."

"Okay, I'll leave a tent and a few days' food, and you'll be in place and recuperate on your own."

The general stepped on his horse and turned back and shouted.

“…… Listen to my military order, the whole army up and down, non-stop, straight to Nanxiang! ”

Countless Qi troops followed from the rear and poured into the valley, the wind swept the flags, the hunting sounded, and there was a momentum of sweeping the eight wildernesses.

"I really don't know who this general is, I haven't heard of it......" The general muttered to himself.

He recognized a few words, and clearly saw a huge "Yang" character on the banner.

Is there anyone surnamed Yang among the generals of Daqi?
