Chapter 582: Struggle
As the encirclement of the Liang army became more and more solid, the Kasaka was like a flat boat in the ocean, leaving only the west to connect with the Pujin Ferry.
And this passage of more than 40 miles has become the lifeline of Kasaka.
It was necessary to continuously transport grain and grass from Guanzhong to maintain the survival of the more than 15,000 defenders in the city.
However, Wang Meng has never blocked this passage, and has not even penetrated to the west, allowing the grain and grass in Guanzhong to continue to be transported in.
After the siege lasted for a long time, a sense of panic gradually surged in the city.
The strength of the two kingdoms of Liang and Qin is best reflected in Pusaka.
The north and southeast sides are impassable, the barracks are connected to the dock fort, the flag covers the sun, the antlers are like a forest, the Liang army is like a group of ants, and there are constantly cavalry in and out.
When the weather is clear, you can also see cattle and sheep like snakes from the north, sending them into the camps.
In the fields behind each barracks, green wheat seedlings have broken through the ground.
Although Wang Meng has not attacked, Deng Qiang did not dare to relax in the slightest, Pusaka is the gate of Guanzhong, once it falls, Guanzhong will not be protected.
And once the soldiers get used to this confrontation, they will relax mentally.
This is the most terrifying.
The reason why Pusaka was able to confront the sixty or seventy thousand Liang army was because of his heart, and without this heart, Pusaka would be gone.
More than 1,000 elite cavalry of the Qin army gathered in front of the southern city gate, and the leader was Deng Qiang's younger brother Deng Lu.
"The Liang thieves have been besieging the city for a long time, and they must be tired, and all the soldiers should go out of the city to fight the enemy to the death!" Deng Qiang raised his arms and exhaled.
The last sortie was more than a month ago, attacking the eastern battalion, mobilizing more than 5,000 elites.
But it was very unfortunate that he encountered the black cloud elite of Weishan, only killed and injured five or six hundred people, but killed more than 1,800 people.
After resting for more than a month, Deng Qiang decided to attack again.
Defending the city is the most taboo to defend.
Blindly not being able to shrink will reduce your morale, boost the arrogance of the enemy, and allow the enemy army to calmly deploy troops and mobilize siege equipment.
"Kill!"
These more than 1,000 elite horsemen are all the elite of the elite, experienced in a hundred battles, and regard death as home, half of them are Chinese children, and half are Di people.
The south gate opened, more than 1,000 horses rode out on leaping horses, Deng Qiang was promoted to the main general, personally climbed the city tower, and beat drums to cheer.
More than 1,000 cavalrymen looked like a writhing earthworm in front of the huge battalion.
The front was densely packed with antler trenches, unable to attack, and ran half a mile to the west before seeing a gap.
Deng Lu took the lead and rushed in without hesitation.
Eighteen war drums sounded wildly at the head of the city, and the sound of fighting under the city was like thunder.
The Liang army was also relaxed, caught off guard, and the soldiers were in a panic.
The Qin army rushed and killed wantonly in the camp, as if entering a no-man's land.
There was thunder of joy in Pusaka City, and the morale seemed to be restored to its peak in an instant.
"General, you can attack on all fronts and pull out the enemy camp in the south in one fell swoop!" Peng Chao got carried away again.
However, this time Deng Qiang did not punish him, but stared at the enemy camp.
A thousand cavalry in the enemy camp of tens of thousands of people, like a drop of water into the sea, although it caused chaos, but did not thwart the enemy army.
The Qin army seemed to be jubilant, but in fact it was confined to the left camp, surrounded by antler trenches, which could not be crossed at all, and the casualties caused were not large, and only one or two hundred Liang troops, who were running slowly, were stabbed under their horses.
"This is a trap, and the enemy army is waiting for us to get out of the city!" Deng Qiang quickly made a decision.
"The second general......" The other lieutenant general was worried.
"Wait!" Deng Qiang took a deep breath and stared at the battlefield.
In the large camp, the Qin army rushed and killed for a while, and soon lost strength.
And gradually feeling the danger, there were antlers and spears on all sides, and they were confined to an area with a radius of three or four hundred paces.
After the antlers, countless Liang troops rushed in, bent their bows and arrows, and headed towards them.
"Retreat!" Deng Lu quickly made a decision.
However, it was too late, and a group of more than 800 armor soldiers suddenly poured out behind him, wearing black and red iron armor, as strong as a tiger ox, and everyone was armed with heavy soldiers such as axes and maces.
"Black Cloud Dead!" Deng Lu was shocked.
The war horse was also disturbed by the murderous aura rushing in his face, and the manpower rose, twisted his body, and threw Deng Lu off the horse.
Before the battle, the heart is timid.
The Qin army had fought fiercely with the Black Cloud Dead many times, and knew that these people were outlaws among outlaws, well-equipped, and could often take one as ten, and take pleasure in fighting.
A gust of wind blew and lifted the curtain of the front left battalion, revealing the burly body and hideous iron armor inside.
It turned out that all of them were Black Cloud Dead soldiers, at least more than 3,000 people, and their eyes were not the more than 1,000 people trapped in the camp, but the Qin army on the city wall.
The back road is blocked, and it is forbidden to get out on three sides.
This cavalry was at the end of its rope, Deng Lu led the dismount, was trampled on a few times by the war horse, did not know whether to live or die, lost the main general, and more than a thousand horsemen were like headless flies scurrying around.
But no one cared whether they lived or died, and they were all waiting for reinforcements from Kasaka Castle.
Liang Jun is loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
Wang Meng had previously issued a strict order, whose camp was broken, and whose head would not be guaranteed.
And Nanying seems to be the weakest, but Xue Qiang himself is in charge, and he has long expected that the Qin army will send troops.
This trap has also been prepared by him for many days, although it is simple, but a big battle of tens of thousands of people, it doesn't need to be complicated, it is enough.
made it too complicated, but Deng Qiang saw the clues.
"So, will Deng Qiang go out of the city to fight?" Xue Qiang twisted his beard and smiled, quite like a Confucian general, the soldiers were fierce and dangerous, but he only wore a Confucian armor.
"If you can break through Puban and capture Deng Qiang, you can make a gift to express the heart of my Hedong clan!" Pei Qing stood behind Xue Qiang and said with a smile.
Hedong Pei is also a wealthy family in the Western Jin Dynasty, and Langya Wang is prosperous at the same time, known as "eight Pei Eight Kings", that is, Pei Hui than Wang Xiang, Pei Kai than Wang Yan, Pei Kang than Wang Sui, Pei Hui than Wang Cheng, Pei Zan than Wang Dun, Pei Yao than Wang Dao, Pei than Wang Rong, Pei Miao than Wang Xuan.
However, after the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the Pei family was divided, and most of them chose to avoid trouble in Liangzhou and defected to Zhang Rail.
Liangzhou was annexed by Fu Jian, and part of the Pei clan returned to Hedong.
The situation in the world is already clear, the Liang State has the posture of dominating the world, and the Kanto region is restored to tranquility, so the Pei family naturally has to seize the opportunity.
"If the governor of the royal capital gives an order, my Wei family is originally the front, so why should Deng Qiang worry about it?" Wei Cheng is nearly fifty years old and is the most temperamental of the few.
Wei Jue, who was killed in Jiangdong, was his brother.
However, the relationship is relatively far, and Wei Jue's well-dressed team crossed to the south, so there was a day when Wei Cheng came out.
"How do you know the plan of the king and the governor?" Xue Qiang glanced at a few people and closed their mouths.
Knock, knock, knock......
The drums of war on the city walls sounded again.
But the city gates were closed, and this move was tantamount to giving up the cavalry outside the city.
"How many days can Kabasaka keep?" Xue Qiang said leisurely.
The morale of the cavalry in the battalion fell to the bottom, and even the war horses were exhausted, so the Liang army swarmed up and captured this group of people.
"Send them to the northern camp and hand them over to the royal governor."
"Yui."
