Chapter 429: Not Out

"Zhang Oyster listened to the order and led 20,000 cavalry to attack Zhongshan, if he can fight, he will fight, and if he can't, he can retreat." Li Yue didn't give the order to die.

It was originally a tentative attack, with dates or not, let's talk about it.

Ice and snow are also not conducive to attacking the city, unless Murong evaluates the city field battle.

"Command!" Zhang Oyster turned around excitedly.

In the next few days, the soldiers and the people built a bow-shaped camp of more than 20 miles in the southeast of Xiangguo, with their bows back to Xiangguo City and bent strings to the northwest to meet the army of Murong Ke.

The people also dug three trenches outside the camp and laid down four antlers to prevent the Yan cavalry from attacking.

It took more than half a month before and after, and the Yan army still didn't make any moves, as if he had abandoned Xiangguo.

Murong Ke couldn't come out, and Wang Meng of Yangcheng naturally didn't move.

And Zhang Hao's attack on Zhongshan did not go well.

Old and immortal is a thief, Murong commented that tens of thousands of troops retreated in the city, and let Zhang Oyster ride 20,000 steps outside the city to shout, indifferent.

Zhang Oyster had no choice but to wander around Zhongshan.

After the wind and snow, there were several days of cloudless sunny weather.

Yecheng's various siege engines were finally pushed to the front line.

In order to get these heavy equipment to the front line, more than 900 cattle and mules were exhausted, but fortunately, Xiangguo was not far from Yecheng, otherwise it would be a big burden.

Ordinary forces can't afford to play these things.

"Since they don't come out, let's put some pressure on us and give an order to cut off the four sub-cities of Xiangguo first!" Li Yue immediately ordered.

If Murong Ke didn't come, the Black Cloud Army wouldn't be able to wait like this.

"Command!" The generals were overjoyed.

The drums of war sounded, and the people pushed forward with equipment such as rushing cars, crash cars, and thunderbolt cars.

Tens of thousands of Black Cloud Army black pressure lined up outside Yongfengzi City, and Xiangguo City was like a giant beast lying behind.

More than 200 thunderbolts and ballistas were pushed to the front of the battle, and the baggage soldiers pushed cartloads of artillery and oil tanks one by one.

If you are poor, tactics are interspersed, and if you are rich, you will be covered by firepower.

To a certain extent, the national strength of the Central Plains is actually reflected in these things.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of pairs of eyes, the battlefield suddenly became quiet, and even the Yan army in Zicheng looked forward to it.

Several of the thunderbolts suddenly emitted a few cannons.

But they were soft, some fell on the moat, and some fell on the city walls......

It immediately caused a burst of laughter from Yan Jun.

The Black Cloud soldiers did not speak out because of military discipline, but they could not hide the disappointment in their eyes.

However, Li Yue knew that this was debugging the range.

After a while, Xu Cheng rode his horse from the front, "Everything is ready, please give an order from Your Highness!" ”

"Siege!" Li Yue waved his hand.

The flag swayed, and all kinds of cheers came one after another.

"Put!" A loud shout rang out.

With a "buzz", more than 200 oil cans flew into the sky, roaring like crows and smashing towards Zicheng.

Boom –

Flames rose from the ground on the sub-city, and the Yan army, who was still laughing just now, was instantly drowned in the sea of fire.

At the sound of the order, the oil canister kept throwing it on the city wall.

Zicheng is not as small as Xiangguo City, it is originally small and stuck on the mountain pass, and the fire oil of the Black Cloud Army has been improved by craftsmen, adding saltpeter and toner, no matter how lethal it is, the fire is extremely terrifying.

It was as if the whole sub-city was on fire.

The screams blew down the north wind.

The Black Cloud soldiers under the city were dazzled one by one, and they had probably never seen the scene of the heavenly fire burning the city.

However, after all, the oil is limited, each can is worth a lot of money, and it is impossible to capture the city with the power of the oil alone, mainly to deter the enemy army and boost their morale.

When the effect is achieved, the artillery stone is used instead.

After bombarding the general for an hour, there were not many enemy troops standing on the sub-city.

The war drums beat, and the people pushed the rushing cart to the city wall, followed by more than a thousand armor soldiers.

Dozens of soldiers of the Black Cloud Army in the car jumped down and killed the head of the city.

The armor soldiers under the city climbed the city wall with arrows nailed into the wall.

The two armies fought in the city, and the blood flowed.

The defenders of Xiangguo originally went out of the city to help, but after seeing the power of the thunderbolt and the rushing car, they stopped and watched.

Good doctors do not save the dying, and the purpose of establishing the sub-city is to defend Xiangguo, not to drag Xiangguo down in turn.

The city has been burned down, and the Black Cloud Army has poured into the city like wolves, killing all sides, and no matter how many reinforcements there are, they will be wasted.

It was only two hours before and after the sub-city was captured.

The Yan army responded to the rout and retreated to Xiangguo.

Li Yue was extremely satisfied with the siege equipment, in the past, every siege battle, countless wounded and killed, but this battle only killed 153 people, more than 400 wounded.

Sure enough, the development of technology is the future of warfare.

The Han army is a living example, a Han enemy Wuhu, on the one hand, the Han army is brave and martial, and on the other hand, it is a strong armor blade.

In fact, the military technology of ancient China was not bad, from bronze to iron, from iron to firearms, from guide cars to stirrups, most of the times were leading, and there were various art of war corresponding to it.

With these, Huaxia occupies the complete geographical plate of the East and basically takes all the land that can be cultivated.

It's just that later he gradually lost his martial spirit and enterprising spirit......

If you can break through one sub-city, you can break the second and third ones.

Zicheng didn't mean anything in front of the Black Cloud Army.

However, Li Yue was able to stop, did not waste firepower on Zicheng, prepared to concentrate supplies, and tried to attack Xiangguo.

Although the strategy of besieging the city and sending reinforcements was set, it was based on the fact that it was difficult for Xiangguo to capture.

When he was about to do it, the sky was not beautiful, and it snowed again.

The shortcomings of the siege equipment were then exposed, and this weather oil could not exert its power.

After the ground freezes, it also has a great impact on the rushing car and ballista car.

Li Yue could only quit the army and go back to the camp to rest, which also gave Xiangguo a chance to breathe.

The scouts came with the news that Murong Jun had prepared a large amount of soil and sand on the city, and turned the land outside the city of Xiangguo upside down, so that Linchong could not gain a foothold in the city.

"Murong Ke hasn't made a move yet?" Li Yue admired his opponent's endurance.

However, there were a little more doubts in his heart, if Murong Ke did not support Xiangguo, but concentrated his army to attack the eastern front, would Jia Jian and Lu Bo be able to withstand it earlier?

Plans can never catch up with changes, and if your side changes, so will your enemies.

"Jicheng gathered 200,000 troops, but it couldn't hold it." Zhang Shengye arched his hand.

"Since Murong Ke can't come out, Lone will force him to make a move! Xu Cheng listened to the order and led 30,000 cavalry to attack Zhongshan! ”

If you don't give a little color, Murong Ke really thinks that the Black Cloud Army doesn't have the strength to destroy them.

"Command." Xu Cheng's flat tone revealed enough confidence.

With Zhang Hao's 20,000 horses, there are 50,000 troops invested in Zhongshan, which is enough to launch a siege battle.

Li Yue wrote another letter to Murong Ke, mocking, "Alone with an army of millions, the north of the command, the world dare not obey, if Xuan Gong is afraid, he can turn his back and surrender, and he will not lose the position of the marquis!" ”

Upset stomach, two chapters......
