Chapter 510: Siege in turn
Following Xiang Yu, Qi Jiguang, Li Cunxiao, Yue Fei and others led troops to attack the city one after another.
This siege battle lasted about two days.
The soldiers of the Tang Army, who were responsible for defending the city, did not have a good year.
There were countless casualties on both sides, and in summary, the casualties of the Wei soldiers were more.
Due to the arrival of supplies, the current Wei army is very well stocked, and there is no need to worry about the medicinal materials for the wounded.
However, the siege of the city day and night also overwhelmed many soldiers of the Wei army.
Fortunately, Zhao Changqing stopped the order to attack the city.
Converted siege into a feint.
To sum it up, there is one sentence, that is, the soldiers of the Tang Army cannot be allowed to rest well.
Even if it is dragged and beaten, they must all be dragged down.
With supplies as a reserve, the Wei army is like a tiger with wings.
Even if it is a feint, the strength of the soldiers is unusually sufficient.
Wang Yunhe, Zuo Buqun, and Fang Xin took turns to defend the city, one guard is a day, at least to ensure that when one person guards the city, the other two can have a good rest.
Until the day of the Shangyuan Festival, Zhao Changqing personally led a large army to attack the city, and he climbed the city wall several times, but in the end he was forced to retreat from the city by the endless soldiers of the enemy.
In this battle, almost all the generals of the Wei army above the land immortal realm participated in the battle.
The effect is also considerable, at least, the heaviest casualties this time are not the Wei army besieging the city, but the Tang army defending the city.
Wang Yunhe and others also went into battle together.
It took a lot of effort to retreat the Wei army.
After the Wei army withdrew, the three of them were already disgraced, and this battle made them feel a great crisis.
In this battle, although all the leading figures in the Wei army participated in the battle, they were far from reaching their peak combat power level.
If they can maintain this level of attack all the time, I am afraid that in the end, this capital will be difficult to hold.
After retiring from the army, Zhao Changqing returned to the camp and laughed repeatedly.
Every soldier who participated in the war also had a look of joy on his face.
Zhao Hongji, the king of Chu, didn't understand why they were so happy.
Zhuge Liang replied: "Your Highness doesn't know, this time out of the city to fight, Your Majesty only brought 100,000 people, 100,000 people to attack the city, there are several times, attacked the enemy's city wall, which also proves that the capital of the Tang Army is not monolithic, they also have a fatal weakness, that is, there are too few top masters." ”
His voice was not too small, and all the soldiers in the entire camp heard it.
Zhao Changqing nodded approvingly when he heard this: "Ji'er, what the prime minister said is right. Before, the Tang army claimed that they had more than 50 land immortal-level powerhouses, and after a few big battles, they had already been completely damaged, and at present, the number of their land immortals was far weaker than our army. ”
Top masters are enough to affect the trend of a war, and this sentence is not just a simple talk.
Zhao Hongji gradually understood why these elders laughed.
As long as there are many masters, it will not be a problem to capture the capital of the Tang Kingdom.
After all, the land immortal masters all went to climb the city wall and fought with the enemy soldiers, which was tantamount to creating an opportunity for the soldiers who wanted to climb the city wall.
Since the opportunity can be created, it proves that it is a matter of time to take the capital of the Tang Kingdom.
In everyone's impression, the relatively silent Jian Yi said a happy event, "Your Majesty is right, I just received news that the warriors from all over my Wei Kingdom are already on the way to the capital of the Tang Kingdom, and with their help, it will definitely make our siege cause twice the result with half the effort." ”
In fact, since the beginning of Wei's invasion of the Tang Dynasty, there have been many people from the rivers and lakes who have come to the battlefields of the two countries one after another to help the Wei army kill the enemy.
It's just that there are relatively few powerhouses of this level like land immortals.
But this time, it is said that more than twenty land immortals will rush to the battlefield.
This is a force to be reckoned with.
When attacking Xianyang County, the Wei army suffered a big loss from the Tang army's land immortal masters.
However, these so-called masters still can't withstand the general trend.
Under the strength of several times their troops, they were finally defeated, and many of the land immortal masters of the enemy country died in this battle.
After this battle, basically the Tang Army had no masters who could handle it.
Above the capital of the Tang Kingdom.
Wang Yunhe, Zuo Buqun, and Fang Xin stood on top of the city, looking at the soldiers in front of them, and successively carrying the wounded and the soldiers who had already died, they felt deep worry.
For the three of them, no matter whether this battle succeeds or fails, there is no way out.
I thought that by losing the fetters of imperial power and the wanton interference of the relative power, they would be able to concentrate on the enemy, but they imagined things too simply, in terms of combat effectiveness, the current Wei army was already invincible in the world.
Wang Yunhe sighed: "The siege combat power of the Wei army this time is really not to be underestimated, if they can launch such an offensive continuously, I am afraid, it will not be far from our rout." ”
Hearing his voice, the two people beside him frowned involuntarily.
They don't want to admit it, but in fact, they can't do anything, and it's hard for them to change anything.
Fang Xin was unwilling to say: "The best time to attack Wei was wasted by our majesty, he always felt that by weighing the court and appeasing the people at home, he could make himself a good emperor, but he didn't know that the foreign country had already been turbulent, and when he reacted, the Wei army was already invincible in the world." ”
Zuo Buqun couldn't listen anymore, and said: "Two, don't be arrogant, this is what we are defending the city, the first battle in the real sense, if after this battle, you will lose your fighting spirit, then the next war, don't fight, just surrender!"
Wang Yunhe said: "That's not what the two of us meant!"
Zuo Buqun's eyes were sharp and said: "Everyone, when the country is in danger, we must not increase the morale of others and destroy our own prestige, as a military general, we only have one way to fight to the end!"
The other two nodded when they heard this.
After a while.
After the warrior of the rivers and lakes in the mouth of the sword arrived, the weather had gradually warmed up.
Since a siege on the Shangyuan Festival, the Wei army did not move troops to the Tang army for a full month.
Now, the warriors of the rivers and lakes have arrived, and Zhao Changqing can't wait to beat the drums and gather the generals.
In this siege, all the land immortal masters of the Wei army, not only generals of any level, all went into battle.
Coupled with the warriors who came to help this time, there were nearly forty land immortals.
For Zhao Changqing, being able to command so many land immortals to fight was even more exciting than commanding thousands of troops.
He chose to go into battle himself.
An army of 300,000 fought from morning to night.
The siege has no intention of stopping.
The city walls in the north of the Tang Kingdom began to collapse.
Even the gates of the city were almost blasted open.
Wang Yunhe and the others have also clearly felt that this city is becoming more and more difficult to hold on to each time.
If this situation continues, it is not far from the day when the city will be broken.
Fortunately, it was impossible for the Wei army to launch such an offensive every time.
But what he didn't expect was that in the early morning of the next day, Zhao Changqing changed the siege troops and actually attacked him again.
