Chapter 922: Second Confrontation
Lin Ze, who was almost calculated by Jiang Shang, was extremely unhappy, and nagged at Zhuang Zhou, who did not remind him in time, for a long time, until Zhuang Zhou swore that there would be no next time, and then stopped talking.
Lin Ze, who experienced this, suddenly raised his vigilance a lot, and really couldn't despise the heroes of the world, especially some old immortal monsters, you don't know if he secretly calculated you.
Although the destiny of heaven has allowed Lin Ze to be strengthened in all aspects, after all, he has just entered the third realm of heaven and man, and his means are more than half a little worse than these old third realms that are called saints.
Some small calculations may not be able to cause him much damage, but over time, the destiny of heaven cannot be stopped.
The Western Qin army was silent in the city for two days, and during these two days, Lin Ze had the cavalry circle around Yangzhai City in batches to maintain the oppressive force of the Han army, and the rest of the soldiers were concentrating on building or assembling siege equipment.
In particular, siege equipment such as ladders and trebuchets are not convenient to carry with the army, so they can only be built on the spot.
With the concerted efforts of tens of thousands of people, hundreds of trebuchets and 3,000 ladders were built.
In the early morning of the third day, the sky was bright, and Lin Ze gave an order, and the Western Qin army launched a fierce attack on Yangzhai City.
Although Jiang Shang arranged for 10,000 troops to be on duty at night to prevent a sneak attack by the Western Qin, these soldiers stayed up all night and were in a poor mental state, how could they stop the fierce and urgent attack of the Western Qin army?
After the sound of gongs and drums sounded, the soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty had gone up the city wall along the ladder and fought with the Han army.
In addition, the 20,000 Western Qin troops under the city continued to climb up the ladder, and there was a momentum to capture Yangzhai City in one fell swoop.
However, the good times did not last long, and Jiang Shang, who heard the news, decisively ordered: "The bow and crossbow battalion released arrows towards the place where the Western Qin soldiers gathered at the head of the city, and under the cover of the rain of arrows, I would like to see if the Western Qin soldiers are really not afraid of death, and would rather die than retreat." ”
The captain of the Han army who received the order said with a hesitant expression: "Great marshal, the soldiers of our army are entangled with the soldiers of Western Qin, if you release arrows, I am afraid that you will be injured by mistake, please think twice." ”
Jiang Shang stared at the captain of the Han army, and said word by word: "Ben Shuai asked you to release arrows, do you dare to disobey?"
Jiang Shang's cold words, as well as the murderous aura between the lines, made the captain of the Han army couldn't help but shudder, gritted his teeth and shouted at his subordinates: "Shoot arrows towards the gathering place of Western Qin soldiers." ”
A rain of arrows then fell, nailing the soldiers of the Qin and Han dynasties, who were desperately killing the enemy, to the city wall.
Although many of the Western Qin soldiers climbed the city wall, the number was far less than the Han army defending on the city wall, and the Han soldiers who were shot dead were much more than the Western Qin soldiers when this rain of arrows fell.
The captain of the Han army on duty on the city wall, when he saw this scene, his eyes were red and he howled: "Which bastard puts arrows, don't you have eyes?"
He was answered by a rain of arrows that was more intense, more intense, and longer.
Although the Han army suffered many casualties as a result, the hundreds of Western Qin soldiers who climbed the city wall were also devastated.
Except for a small number of people who saw the opportunity quickly and used the corpses of the Han army or their own companions as shields, the rest did not survive.
At the same time, under Jiang Shang's orders, a new 10,000-strong Han army ascended the city walls and took over the defenses.
Outside the city, seeing that Lin Ze, who had no hope of capturing the city wall, decisively ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
The Western Qin soldiers on the ladder and preparing to go up the ladder fell to the ground at an extremely fast speed and retreated to the Western Qin camp like a tide.
At the same time, the Western Qin army, which was responsible for covering the retreat of their companions, either raised their crossbows or pulled the ropes of the trebuchets.
Stones and arrows were mixed together and landed on the walls of Yangzhai City, stopping the Han army who wanted to attack the Western Qin soldiers from a high position.
Jiang Shang's voice sounded at the right time: "King Qin's generation of heroes, it is a loss of temperament to fight without declaring war." ”
Lin Ze, who learned from Zhuang Zhou that Jiang Shang was very bad, didn't think about picking him up at all, but returned to the camp with the rest of the Western Qin army.
Jiang Shang looked at this scene with a gloomy face and pondered for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "It's a little interesting, it seems that this Destiny is not simple, it is so good, you will gain if you defeat it." ”
......
The effect of the surprise attack failed to meet expectations, Lin Ze was not worried at all, on the opposite side was Jiang Shang, who was known as the Soldier Saint, leading the troops, how could it be so easy to defeat him.
Lin Ze thought about it for a long time and gave an order, and the battalion moved five miles outward.
Such an unusual move by Western Qin instantly attracted the attention of Jiang Shang and the Yang Zhai defenders, demolishing the camp, did he plan to withdraw his troops?
Some Han soldiers even jumped up and cheered, and the Western Qin army "retreated".
The reality is often contrary to conjecture, as soon as the Western Qin army "finished moving", some soldiers rushed to the city wall, but did not attack, but turned around and returned to the camp.
The Han army, which had just been attacked once in the early morning and was almost lost by the city wall, was like a great enemy, with bows and arrows wound, and logs and stones placed at their feet, ready to be thrown down at any time.
To the disappointment of the Han army, this Qin army did not come to attack the city, but did nothing, which made them feel that they had nowhere to go.
However, this is just the beginning.
In the evening, dozens of Western Qin soldiers wearing heavy armor and covering themselves tightly, beat gongs and drums to approach the Yangzhai city wall, circled under the city, and returned to the camp safe and sound.
The Han defenders, who did not know the situation, could only light torches to prevent the Western Qin soldiers from taking the opportunity to sneak attack.
Next, every once in a while, the Western Qin army must go out of the camp with great fanfare and hang out in front of Yangzhai City.
As the saying goes, "I retreat when the enemy advances, I disturb when the enemy is stationed, I fight when the enemy is tired, and I chase after the enemy when he retreats."
Lin Ze didn't dare to think that he must be smarter than Jiang Shang, but he couldn't help that he had advanced thinking.
......
On the other side, Jiang Shang was uncomfortable, and the strategy of the Western Qin army pretending to attack the city made him a little dilemma.
It is absolutely impossible to let it go, once it relaxes, Jiang Shang dares to guarantee that the Western Qin army will turn from a feint attack to a real attack.
It is also inappropriate to go out of the city to attack, the Western Qin cavalry has been patrolling outside the city during the day, and the army has gone out less, and it is estimated that even the cavalry will not be able to cross the threshold.
If the army goes out more, Western Qin will definitely reinforce it, and it will become a head-to-head duel.
In this regard, Jiang Shang was skeptical of the Han army.
According to the defense of the city, the city wall was almost captured, and once out of the city, it lost the protection of the city wall, and it was very likely that it would be defeated in a direct battle.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shang sighed: "This battle is not easy to fight." ”
......
The Western Qin harassment tactics lasted for three days and were broken by the arrival of Han reinforcements.
This 50,000 reinforcements did not enter the city, but according to Jiang Shang's order, a large camp was built next to the city wall to deal with the people who came to harass them.
At the same time, Lin Ze clearly sensed that a group of heavenly and human realms had fallen into Yangzhai City, obviously, Confucianism had made a move, but I didn't know if the people from Buddhism were involved.
