Chapter 179: Liu Tai Arrives at the Battlefield

Early the next morning, the soldiers under Wang Jun's command pushed several watchtower carts and drove slowly towards Nanpicheng.

The watchtower chariot is also known as the chariot, and this siege weapon has a very long heritage.

It appeared when the Chu State attacked the Song State, and its main role was to erase the visual advantage of the defending side, so that his side could also observe the battlefield condescendingly.

The observer in this car needs to quickly read the military dispatch on the battlefield and then relay it to the commander-in-chief, so that the commander-in-chief can give accurate orders according to the battlefield situation, which can be said to be a very important technical unit.

In the beginning, the heralds inside the chariots also shouted to convey information, but as the times progressed, especially as the castle was built higher and larger, this technology of oral transmission was quickly updated.

Flag language has become almost mainstream to convey messages, and the heralds in each cart must master a specific flag language.

In historical wars, it is often not difficult to build a chariot itself, but it is not easy to find heralds who really master various flag languages, or because of the low literacy rate, the cost of training them is relatively high.

Therefore, at this moment, although Wang Jun can directly build dozens of chariots with great wealth, there are only so many heralds, and he must stay and command the whole army, so in the end, he only pushed six watchtower cars out to observe the movements of Wang Sang's army in this area.

As for the best way to destroy this kind of car, it is better to use a thunderbolt to destroy it by smashing a large area with a stone.

Shooting at the observers in the board house with a crossbow, shooting with bows and arrows, etc., really requires a strong element of luck in terms of the technology of this era, and it is relatively too extravagant.

From the current point of view, a ton of bullets for a pilot's life must be earned, but in terms of the values of the Western Jin Dynasty, if you dare to do this, I am afraid that people will suspect that you are a spy sent from the other side for the first time.

It's a pity that Liu Tai doesn't have the thunderbolt technology in his hands, because this is almost the most sophisticated siege weapon of this era.

In addition to the drawings, you also need craftsmen who have mastered the technique, so that the resulting thunderbolt is perfect.

And there are three places with this technology in their hands, one is Wang Jun, and the other is Sima Rui and Wang Dao, who ran away in advance.

The third is that Liu Cong, the Xiongnu Han State, completely occupied Luoyang, but because Luoyang was destroyed too completely, it was more in the hands of a certain craftsman, rather than preserved in the form of books.

As for Liu Tai, the complete thunderbolt technology is definitely not available, but some counterfeits are still available.

It's just that the attack power and attack range of the Thunderbolt that comes out are not as far as the real Thunderbolt.

However, there is still stock in Nanpi City, but Wang Sang has not used it until now.

At this moment, as the cart was pushed to a specific position, which was enough to completely look down on the whole field in the field of vision, Wang Jun commanded calmly, and countless dense trench filling trucks began to drive out under Wang Jun's command.

With the help of trench filling trucks as cover, Wang Jun's soldiers began to dispose of the debris of various smashed defenses and clear a road to Nanpi City.

The moat in front of Nanpi City needs this kind of trench cart for rapid landfilling, so that the preliminary work of the siege can be done.

It can be said that in the following days, Wang Jun's troops harassed the city with various long-range weapons.

Even the occasional tug-of-war in which a squad of soldiers burst out of the urn to sabotage Wang Jun's soldiers to clean up the defenses outside the city, or to fill in the Nanpi moat.

In this process, Wang Jun gave full play to the advantages of his large number of soldiers and generals, and the double engine also began a rather long tug-of-war.

But with the passage of time, the outer defense system was cleaned up little by little, and although the slightly spacious moat was not filled, the other side also used moat bridges one after another to build bridges over the moat.

This allowed Wang Jun's corporal to quickly kill under the city wall, and it can be said that in the continuous tug-of-war between the two sides, Wang Jun achieved quite good results.

It's just that after spending a lot of effort and losing a lot of soldiers, and finally clearing the obstacles to the attack on Nanpi City, Gou Xi was defeated by Liu Tai, and the news that Liu Tai led a large army to support Nanpi City arrived.

"Tell the widow again!" Wang Jun listened to the scout's report, stepped forward and grabbed the soldier's collar fiercely.

"Gou ...... General Gou Xi was broken by Liu Tai, and the Han thief Liu Tai has led an army of 50,000 to cross the Yellow River and reach Jizhou! ”

The scout trembled and talked about the news he had gotten, but he was also worried that Wang Jun would cut himself down in anger!

Wang Jun Suizhou pushed the soldier away and shouted angrily, "Will Gou Dao be a pig?"

Even if it is a pig, what ability does Liu Tai have to catch his 100,000 army in one go.

It's only been a month, and Gou Dao will not be able to support it, he is more waste than a pig! ”

Because Gou Xi brought an army of 30,000 to blow into 100,000, Wang Jun also regarded it as 100,000, as if Wang Jun's army of 100,000 was blown into 200,000.

This kind of deliberate exaggeration of the strength of his own corporal soldiers is very normal in this era.

On the contrary, it is relatively rare to say honestly, such as how many soldiers Liu Tai has.

But I have to say that Gou Xi was defeated by Liu Tai too quickly, which made Wang Jun quite tricky.

During this period of time, he finally cleaned up the outer defense facilities of Nanpi City, and filled in the moat, and saw that the city was about to be attacked, but Liu Tai came over with a large army.

In Wang Jun's view, Liu Tai did not mobilize many troops, although it was claimed to be 50,000, but according to the rules of the road, the so-called 50,000 must be discounted, and there must be only 30,000 left.

Although with Qingzhou's strength, it is impossible to have only 30,000 soldiers, but after thinking about it, he fought with Gou Xi, and then quickly chased over here.

"It doesn't say in the book of war that if you fight for profit for fifty miles, you will be on the general, and the law is half there. Thirty miles and for profit, two-thirds to. "It's not surprising that I have such a little strength in my hands to stop myself now.

At this time, Zao Song came out to persuade Wang Jun:

"Your Excellency, this city has become a turtle in an urn, and you only need to send a soldier to garrison it to consume the food in the city.

We still repelled Liu Tai's reinforcements first and then came to take Nanpi, which was like digging for something. ”

Wang Jun still trusts Zao Song, although Zao Song is greedy, ruthless, and quite unpopular.

But for Wang Jun, this is his son-in-law, and he supports his ascension to the throne, so his mastermind naturally changed from Wang Yi to Zao Song.

Now Zao Song proposed a plan to break Liu Tai first and then take Nanpi, which made Wang Jun touch his beard.

Wang Jun opened his mouth and said, "Who does the virtuous son-in-law think should be sent to stay and take care of Nanpi City?" ”

"A certain general who is not familiar with the army, please respect the Holy Judge!" Zao Song couldn't help but say when he heard Wang Jun's words,

"However, Lord Bo Yangyu, a talented officer, even if Nanpi changes, I believe he can also cope with it, and he can replace it."

Hearing Zao Song's words, Wang Jun nodded and said, "That being the case, let Hu Ju lead an army of 10,000 to guard Nanpi and maintain the grain road, and the rest of the army will follow me to deal with Liu Tai!" ”

When Zao Song heard this, he saluted Wang Jun and immediately arranged it.

And Wang Sang's army changed the way of attacking, and the feelings of Wang Sang who were surrounded were the clearest.

However, although Wang Sang judged that it was likely that Liu Tai had sent troops to support, he was also deeply afraid that Wang Jun had set himself up.

The soldiers under his command even asked Wang Sang to go out of the city to attack Zaosong's army, at least to try the quality of the army outside.

But in the end, Wang Sang thought about it again and again, but still refused, and Wang Sang finally chose to garrison Nanpi City instead of adventurously.

Because compared to others, Wang Sang's promotion logic is different from them, and Wang Sang's promotion logic is not wrong!

If others want to enter Liu Tai's eyes, the most important thing is to make meritorious deeds, and make meritorious deeds that Liu Tai will pay attention to.

Needless to say, why Liu Yao entered Liu Tai's eyes, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, that is, although Liu Yao is more capable of fighting, it is not too obvious that he can fight in Liu Tai's army.

Because with Liu Tai's growth, his own strength continues to grow, anyway, no Liu Tai can fight, that is, one punch, or three punches.

Therefore, Liu Yao can be favored by Liu Tai, and in the eyes of everyone, Liu Yao will be a sycophant, and then enter Liu Tai's field of vision.

And Wang Sang is a relative, so for Wang Sang, he was born into Liu Tai's field of vision, so he doesn't need to take risks like everyone else.

For him, as long as he honestly defends this Nanpi City, his credit will not escape.

As for wanting to show his talents, Wang Sang knows very well that he is just an ordinary person.

The kind of ordinary person who wants to complete the task entrusted by Liu Tai requires all his strength, and not to do too much is the best embodiment of his ability.

And I have to say that often this kind of very self-aware guy is equipped with a strong city for him to garrison, and many so-called famous generals also feel a headache when they encounter it.

Because if you don't do it, you won't have a flaw, there will be no flaw, and the besieging side must rely on hard power to eat, and whoever encounters it will feel a headache.

Liu Tai, who stepped into Bohai County, clenched his fists and roared at the scouts under his command:

"If you are afraid of your heart, shout out, if you are afraid of your enemy, if you feel that you can't find a reason to swing your sword, shout out!

This sentence will give you strength! You know?! ”

"Yes!" The scouts heard Liu Tai's words, but they answered Liu Tai in unison!

"Good! You have started to act as a unit, and I hope that after this battle, I can still drink with you! ”

As he spoke, Liu Tai drank with these people and marched for the scouts.

These soldiers did not hesitate in the face of Liu Tai's arrogance, and drank all the wine in their cups.

Soon these scouts were the first to act, and the two armies clashed, first in the scouts.

This truth is very clear to every soldier who has become a scout, so every scout must be the elite of the army, and even many of them have followed Liu Tai to play wrestling in the army, but when it comes to the battlefield, they are just numbers.

Liu Tai watched the scouts leave, and to be honest, the number of scouts should be further reduced to the rank of the army.

But because Liu Tai's army only had military envoys at the Tun level, if they acted in a small team, then no one recorded their deeds, and even if they died on the battlefield, they might be designated as missing.

But in this case, the scouts of the tun level are relatively bloated in action, and they may even be less mobile than those on horseback.

But if they do fight, it's easier to call in for support!

As for the gap in mobility, it can only be made up by their legs and their experience.

The scouts on both sides were almost immediately devoted to the land of Bohai County.

If the two sides don't meet, it's a good thing, but when the two sides do, it's a life-and-death fight!

Because the battlefield at this moment has become a completely dark forest for these scouts.

Each of them is a hunter with a deadly weapon enough to wield the other, stalking through this dark forest like a dark ghost.

Whose movements stirred the sound, whose footsteps woke up the tiger, the identities of hunters and prey are constantly changing on this battlefield.

As long as everyone finds the opponent, there is only one thing they can do, that is, to make the opponent die by the most brutal means, and only in this way can they survive!

Zhang Ping is a cavalry ranger under Wang Jun, his martial arts are extraordinary, because he was born in Youzhou, so he thinks he is Zhang Fei and his ilk, but today he met a scout team of seven people.

They didn't have horses, but they carried small crossbows, and the first wave of raids on their rangers cost several men.

Then they decisively threw away the crossbow arrows in their hands, drew their weapons and tacitly cooperated with the strong pounce, and shouted in unison, "We are fighting for the revival of the Han Dynasty, why are you participating in the war!" ”

Such a cry on the battlefield is ridiculous, you live and die, where do you get so many reasons.

And this seven-person squad, tacitly cooperating, skillful in battle, and seeing death as home......

And then he paid for a knife and a shot in the back and thigh, and let them all die here.

Zhang Ping took a deep breath, he had never experienced such a dangerous time today since he joined the army.

Obviously, the strength and strength of this group of people are far inferior to their own, but in retrospect, these soldiers are completely crazy.

At this moment, Zhang Ping picked up the token that proved the identity of the scouts on both sides, rode his horse, and went back to the barracks.

I couldn't help but think of the words from the mouths of this group of soldiers: "We are fighting for the revival of the Han Dynasty, why are you fighting!" ”

"yes...... What are you fighting for, why are you here to fight for your life? ”

Zhang Ping didn't feel it when he was fighting to the death, but at the moment he calmed down, felt the pain in his body, and unconsciously remembered these words that the other party was shouting before he died.

But the more Zhang Ping thought about it, the more confused he became, and he could give a vague answer to the ...... To eat?
