Chapter 702: Knowing the Times
If you don't see the coffin, you don't shed tears.
If you don't fight with real swords and spears, the defenders in the city will always have a fluke mentality.
No matter how advanced the equipment is in the era of cold weapons, the final victory still depends on people.
Since Xiangyang is Huan Wen's old nest, there must be people who are loyal to Huan Wen.
However, the city wall collapsed, and the only reliance of the Jin army had disappeared, and there was basically no suspense in this battle.
The drums of war sounded.
The forward soldiers with knives, axes, bones, and maces moved forward excitedly.
They are not arrayed, but spread out in twos and threes, keeping a certain distance, and at the same time echoing each other.
The sword and shield bearers were at the front, the crossbowmen were on guard at the back, and the heavy armorers with large axes and maces were at the end.
If you talk about who is the best at hard fighting and bloody battles in the Black Cloud Army, it is none other than them, many people are already in their forties, but they don't want to retire, they are used to fighting all their lives, and they are at a loss when they leave the Black Cloud Army.
They have long been assimilated by the troubled times, and only the battlefield can give them peace of mind.
At this time, the crossbow machines and catapults in the city also began to exert their power, and they rained down.
The Black Cloud soldiers did not panic, and many of the veterans of the hundred battles did not raise their heads, and they could judge the direction of the stones and wood just by the sound of the splashing wind.
The more panicked you are, the faster you die.
The Jin army did not have many equipment to defend the city, and after being destroyed in the burning and smashing of the Liang army, and after paying the price of more than 100 casualties, the dead soldiers of the vanguard had rushed to the collapsed city wall.
The big axe and mace soon collided with the spear of the Jin army, bursting into clouds of blood.
Fierce battles were also taking place on the other walls.
However, the resistance of the Jin army was still resolute, and it seemed to be competing for a gap with the Black Cloud Armor.
From noon to afternoon, he resisted stubbornly, and repeatedly fought with the Black Cloud Army with the lanes in the city.
Many of the Jin troops were refugees from the north, and they were in the same vein as the Black Cloud Army, and they did not lack fighting spirit and martial bravery.
The corpses were piled up more than one person high, and the casualties were much higher than those of the Black Cloud Army, but they fought to the death.
"Erchen is willing to lead an army to attack the city!" Li You arched his hand.
"You are now the King of Qin, not a captain in the army, and it is not your turn to charge into battle." Li Yueping said peacefully.
Li You is good at everything, the only drawback is that he joined the army too early and has a little less wisdom.
This kind of mind is inseparable in Middle-earth, but it is suitable for the Western Regions.
The Western Regions still needs an enterprising King of Qin.
"Life and death are destined for wealth and wealth in the sky, don't take Meng Kuan's matter to heart, more people will fall in the future." Li Yue knew that he was stimulated by Meng Kuan's death.
"If it wasn't for the tiger's head to stop it that day, it would be Erchen who rushed up."
"That's also his life, if you can't pass this level, don't go to the Western Regions, as a king, you don't have children." Li Yue looked at him calmly.
This is the last teaching.
Li You's whole body was shocked, "Erchen is taught." ”
"Your Majesty, the Jin army in the city has defected and fought with each other, and the people have also assisted our army, most of the city has been captured, and Huan Huo is cowering in the inner city." The scouts came to report.
The important cities of this year have inner and outer cities.
Hefei also has three city walls.
"The outer city has been breached, but the inner city can save them? First rescue the people and clear the rebel army. Li Yue ordered.
As long as the trebuchet pushes up, the inner city is easier to attack.
"Yui!" The scout turned and walked away.
"Tomorrow's battle for the inner city, commanded by you." Seeing that it was not early, Li Yue said to Li You beside him.
"The retainers take the order."
The Black Cloud Army that entered the city did not kill indiscriminately under the supervision of the Honglu officials and the constraints of the generals.
The people were overjoyed and helped to clean up the ruins of the city and offered food to reward the soldiers.
Today's Black Cloud Army can't look down on this thing.
And the old bottom of the Huan family is concentrated in the inner city.
The next day, all kinds of siege equipment were pushed into the city, and the defenders of the city were extremely frightened when they saw these huge objects, and the bombardment for three consecutive days left a deep psychological shadow on them.
Li Yue entered the city, ready to observe Li You's command ability.
After all, he has been on the Jingxiang front line for five years, climbed from the low-level non-commissioned officer to the captain, and knows all kinds of military affairs.
And he has a lot of staff around him, always reminding.
Qin Biao is even more inseparable.
The catapults are ready to go, and the soldiers are waiting for this final battle.
However, at this moment, the gate of the inner city opened, and a group of Xiangyang generals came out under the leadership of Yang Luo.
"It's down, Huan Huo is willing to surrender to Daliang, and those who resist are guilty of Huan Huo, and it has nothing to do with the people." The first person was quite majestic, his body was full of tendon flesh, and he looked as usual in the face of the sword and axe of the Black Cloud Armorer.
In the city, nearly 10,000 Jin soldiers had already put down their weapons and looked at the black and oppressive Liang army with a nervous expression.
Li Yue originally thought that they would resist to the end, but he didn't expect it to fall.
The Huan family can mix in Jiangdong with a third-rate clan to this day, and there must be more than one Huan Wen.
As Huan Wen's younger brother, Huan Huo's return to the beam, has a great demonstration effect.
Li Yue hurriedly took off his robe, stepped forward quickly, put on Huan Huo, and separated the others from the guards, looking at Huan Huo vigilantly.
"Those who know the times are Junjie, and General Huan has the common people in his heart, what is the crime? I have admired the general for a long time, from now on, the north and the south are all one family, and the people of Jingzhou are all the people of Daliang! Li Yue said loudly.
"Hooray!"
Before Huan Huo could speak, the defenders of the city were already cheering.
"The hearts of the people are back, it is clear at a glance, Your Majesty is not winning on the battlefield, nor is it a weapon, but in the hearts of the people." Huan Huo arched his hand.
There is some truth to this.
Huan Huo really went out, with the food in the inner city, he could still do it for ten days and a half months.
Trebuchets are not a panacea and wear out.
Ten and a half days later, Huan Wen's reinforcements might have arrived.
However, even if Huan Huo wanted to fight to the death, the Jin soldiers might not be willing, and the outcome of this battle had actually been decided long before the war.
"The people's heart is the mandate of heaven, General Huan follows the sky, and has contributed to Huaxia, Fengyi Chenghou, promoted to Zhennan General, and Ruzhou Assassin History." Li Yue rewarded it and showed it to Jiangdong.
I don't know what Huan Wen will think after knowing that Huan Huo surrendered.
Suddenly, my heart moved, remembering Huan Wen's inexplicable letter a few days ago, and I vaguely felt that Huan Wen seemed to have given up on Xiangyang and Jingzhou a long time ago, so I said hello in advance and treated the Huan family in Xiangyang City well.
Not putting eggs in one basket was the routine operation of the scholars in this era.
Even if Huan Wen rebelled, he was not nine out of ten.
Wang Dun was much stronger than him back then, but he was still played to death by the Jiangdong clans......
Li Yue's heart suddenly felt extremely absurd, those Jin troops who bravely defended the city died in vain.
But in this era, the least valuable thing is human life.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, such a thick seal, the ministers really dare not accept it, and the generals of the defeated army cannot be brave. This war minister is convinced, and he only wants to be a rich man, so as not to laugh at the world. ”
As soon as Huan Huo's words came out, Li Yue was basically sure that his guess was right.
Between the thrones of Jingxiang and Jiankang, Huan Wen chose the latter.
As early as twenty years ago, Huan Wen had already penetrated into the tip of the horns and couldn't get out.
"In this case, General Zhennan, the history of Ruzhou can be avoided, and the promotion is too common, and the Marquis of Yicheng cannot be resigned, this is my intention." Li Yue invited him to offer him high.
"Ministers, commands." Huan Huo arched his hand.
