Chapter 30: Confrontation (Subscription Requested, Third Update)
Early the next morning, Su Zixuan organized the superior forces again, and ordered the soldiers to wear heavy armor and shields on their heads, and launch another powerful offensive against Haixia City, which Ji Hong was defending.
The two sides fought fiercely for a whole day, and the bloody army also exhausted all kinds of siege methods, and Ji Hong also tried his best to defend.
The arrows and thunderbolts of the Bloody Army crossed the walls like locusts, and a large group of men followed.
The generals under Ji Hong couldn't wait, and they all hoped that Ji Hong would quickly order the cannon to fire back, but Ji Hong was very calm, he had eaten enough of the loss of the thunder fire cannon in front, so he gently shook his hand to everyone, and the Bloody Army continued to move forward, while Ji Hong and the Grimace Monk were watching from the city wall, waiting for the Bloody Army to swarm closer to the place.
At this time, Ji Hong ordered loudly: "Open the cannon!" In an instant, the sound of the cannon shook the sky, and I saw that a large number of bloody soldiers were hit by the artillery fire and fell.
Those who were lucky not to be hit were in a hurry to flee for their lives, you bumped into me, trampled on each other, and the team was in chaos......
Seeing this, Su Zixuan's face sank, and he ordered to retreat.
Ji Hong watched Su Zixuan retreat, and his heart was a little more steady, because the previous battle was heavily damaged by the bloody army led by Su Zixuan, and the soldiers defending the city were already miserable, and he didn't know how to offend Su Zixuan, the evil star, and first used troops against him.
"How's our reinforcements?" Ji Hong asked tiredly with bloodshot eyes.
"Back to ...... Back to Your Majesty, the troops near our flanks have been stopped by the other two units of the Bloody Army, their combat strength is amazing, we have suffered countless casualties, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to ......support in a short time," said a minister in fear.
"Bastard, what about the army behind us, which is also blocked?" Ji Hong said angrily.
"Back to ...... Your Majesty, the army behind is being dragged down by Ji Xin's army, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come over!"
"What...... Ji Xin, you brute, you want my life!" Ji Hong wailed towards the sky.
Then he asked, "How long can we use our reserve grain and grass?"
The minister said in a panic: "Go back to ...... Back to Your Majesty, it shouldn't be able to last a few longer, because we haven't been back in Haixia City for a long time, and we have a fierce battle with Ji Xin's army in front, so we don't have much to reserve. ”
"Hey...... Then let the nearby city send it, remember to tell its city lord Guo San to be careful, I don't worry about him!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Alright, let's go down and make arrangements......"
"Yes!"
......
Early the next morning, under the command of Su Zixuan, the Bloody Army launched a fierce siege battle against Haixia City. Ji Gong personally commanded the army, stretched out bows and arrows, and sent all kinds of spiritual fire weapons, and dealt a severe blow to the bloody army.
When the battle was fierce, arrows and artillery fire rained down on the city, and many of the bloody soldiers were killed and wounded.
Su Zixuan asked Mingyu to personally supervise the battle, trying to dig into the city, the tenacious soldiers of the bloody army, with a shield on their heads, braving arrows and stone firearms, with siege equipment, the front team fell, and the back team followed, no one dared to retreat, although Ji Hong was thin into a large army, but the artillery and stone firearms in the city were limited after all, and it was impossible to count on the reinforcements behind to help.
In this situation, Ji Hong believed that their army must win a quick battle, so he ordered the gunners to aim at the dense area of the bloody army and open artillery bombardment.
I saw the sound of cannons, fireworks rose into the air, the blood of the soldiers of the Bloody Army flew everywhere, and the people who were hit were instantly annihilated, and the Bloody Army fell down one by one, at this time the sky gradually darkened, and in the smoke of gunpowder, the attack of the Bloody Army was temporarily repulsed.
The camp of the Bloody Army.
"What are our casualties?" asked Su Zixuan towards the generals below.
"Back to the king, fortunately it's not that big!"
"Well, good!"
"Ruoxi, what's going on with the other two?"
Ruoxi replied: "Back to the monarch, the armies on both sides of Ji Hong have been blocked by the king of Nanjun and Xuan Mingjun, the enemy army has suffered great losses, and it is impossible to come over in a short time, and the reinforcements behind them are dragged by Ji Xin, I'm afraid it will be difficult to draw, but don't worry!"
"Well, well! In that case, this is this Ji Palace, this Haixia City! What do you generals?"
The four commanders let Tianxuan take it away, so now it's these new generals of the Blood Army.
"Back to the king, his subordinates thought that in the stage of stalemate between the two armies, whether they could continue to supply military rations would be directly related to the victory or defeat of the war. ”
A young general stepped forward and said.
This is a newly promoted infant monk who has been promoted all the way from his father's blood army, and his name is Manyu.
"Oh...... It's kind of interesting!"
"Mingyu, what do you mean?"
"Back to the king, I think what General Manyu said is very reasonable, cutting off its supplies can cut off its back road!"
"Good ......"
......
One day, the spies of the Bloody Army detected that tens of thousands of supply vehicles of Ji Hong's army were escorting them to Haixia City.
And through the secret pavilion, I got the news that the escort officer Guo San was a brave and unscrupulous person, and he fought lightly against the enemy.
When Ruoxi learned of this, he suggested that Su Zixuan send troops to rob the supply vehicles of Ji Hong's army, and Su Zixuan sent Black Scale and Manyu to lead the troops, and directly killed Guo San on the way, burning all the grain trucks and military supplies he escorted.
After a few more years, after learning the news that Guo San was killed in battle and the supply was robbed, Ji Hong sent people to transport more than tens of thousands of truckloads of supplies from the ancient city of Ye, hoarded them in Bird City, thirty miles north of Haixia City, and sent the generals Hu Da and Yulan to lead 100,000 people to be stationed there for protection.
Due to the burning of the armament last time, the Ghost Face Monk specially reminded Ji Hong this time and asked him to send another general to lead a part of the army to garrison the outside of Hu Da and Yulan to prevent the sneak attack of the bloody army.
However, the news still leaked.
This time, Su Zixuan asked Black Scale and Manyu to lead an army of more than 200,000 again, and took advantage of the night to sneak attack Bird City, which was hoarded thirty miles north of Haixia City.
Suddenly, the bloody military drums and horns sounded, and the cavalry on both wings took the lead in dispatching, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the army led by Hu Da and Yulan was directly killed by the bloody army led by Black Scales and Barbarian Yu due to the poor order of the army and the drinking all night.
And Hu Da and Yulan were directly killed by Black Scales and Barbarian Yu, and Ji Hong sent another general to garrison the army outside Hu Da and Yulan was also slaughtered without knowing it.
The soldiers in the reflection of the sky have been killed by the bloody army, and the rest of the people have forgotten their attachments, the children who are waiting to be fed in swaddling clothes, the wives and children who are diligent in the fields of cultivation, and the parents who are gradually withering and aging.
There was nothing left in their eyes, they were already roaring like trapped beasts, and they were going to die with the bloody army, but under the gap in quantity and quality, they were also quickly destroyed.
I don't know how long it took, but the smoke and dust were everywhere, and the remaining fire was finally silently extinguished after that downpour......
