Chapter 218: Siege
For five days in a row, the Xianbei Army and Yanmen County maintained a very tacit understanding of calm.
But everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm, and the longer Xianbei makes siege equipment, the more tools are made, and the more fierce the siege will be.
And on Ji Luo's side, rolling stones, sassal wood, gold juice and other tools for defending the city are accumulating at all costs.
Many people, in order to help defend the city, even demolished their own houses.
Everyone knows that if they can't stop the army of Xianbei people, then all the people in the city will be ruined, and I don't know how many people will die in the chaos.
Because it understands, it is even heavier......
In the past few days, even Mu Yanyu, who likes to joke the most, can't laugh anymore, and the girl often sits on the women's wall, looking at the 100,000 Xianbei army from afar, and is silent for a long time.
"If this city is lost, I will stay here and stay with it. ”
When Mu Yanyu said this, her expression was very serious, Ji Luo looked at her with a solemn look, and she couldn't say anything after all, she just nodded heavily.
"I will accompany you, just like the vow we made when we were righteous, not to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month. ”
It was the first time that Ji Luo had seen the appearance of an army of 100,000, and the black smoke rising from the cooking stove was like a dark cloud, obviously dozens of miles away, but the smell of cattle and sheep could be smelled in the wind.
War is really a very frightening thing with a sword, no matter how many times, Ji Luo will never admit that fighting can make people happy, because in war, people really lose too much......
On the sixth day, the weather was fine, Ji Luo and the others finished breakfast, stood on the city wall together, and quietly waited for the attack of the Xianbei people.
When the time comes, it's like a clenched fist has continued to have enough power, and the next thing is to swing it at all costs, killing the enemy or hitting the wall to break your bones.
Both sides had no choice, and under the order of Budugen, tens of thousands of Xianbei people, under the cover of a rain of arrows covering the sky, carried all kinds of siege equipment, and began to launch a general attack on Yunzhong County.
Thereupon...... Blood and death, wailing and weeping, rained down like raindrops across the battlefield.
One siege ladder after another was erected on the city wall, and the Xianbei soldiers, who were not wearing any protective gear at all, only held a long knife, and rushed to the city wall one after another, forgetting to die.
Ji Luo, as a commander, did not simply take the lead, because falling into a fight, it would make them lose the calmness and spectatorship of the command, Ji Luo and the others guarded the city walls in different positions, and the trained soldiers did their task well.
Although the Xianbei people are brave, but the city wall is condescending after all, this battle has no warm-up, from the very beginning, it has entered a white-hot meat grinder state, killing and being killed have become the only two options left on the battlefield, people's adrenal hormones began to secrete a lot, everyone forgot to die, waved the weapons in their hands, and killed one enemy after another.
One side is for protection, and the other is for plunder.
The first siege battle lasted for five or six hours, and nearly 5,000 Xianbei soldiers died, and Ji Luo and others defending the city also suffered more than 1,000 casualties.
At night, the fragrant meal made every soldier glad that he was still alive, and Ji Luo, the army leaders, had no intention of having dinner at all, what they had to consider was the situation of the entire battlefield, and it was almost impossible to have time to sleep tonight.
Ji Luo and the others have 20,000 soldiers under their command, counting the other soldiers who are not strong in combat, a total of about 40,000, but to be honest, the other 20,000 soldiers are really useless, Ji Luo just wants them to be auxiliaries, and he doesn't expect them to be able to go to the battlefield.
To tell the truth, not afraid of god-like enemies, only afraid of pig-like teammates, those veteran wanderers went to the battlefield, and it is estimated that if they flee in a swarm, the entire front may collapse.
There are 200,000 Xianbei cavalry outside the city, but there are only 20,000 elite soldiers in the city, plus 20,000 soldiers.
To be honest, no one thought that Xianbei's invasion would use such a huge force, it can be said that 200,000 cavalry is a big gamble, if they lose, then the entire Xianbei this winter, at least 100,000 people will freeze to death.
The previous southward plunder, the Xianbei people were only 50,000 at most at a time, and Ji Luo could not be said to have missed the form, but it should be said that the other party did not take the usual path and made big news.
"To tell the truth, in terms of the current strength comparison, we have a very small chance of winning this defensive battle. ”
Although Ji Luo is not good at commanding battles, he has always been able to calculate and judge, and in this situation in front of him, almost Xianbei people exchange their lives for their lives, and they can win with a pair of plays.
Although the losses of the Xianbei people will be very large, once their 20,000 elite soldiers are exhausted, then the whole battle will not have to be fought, and it will collapse directly.
"We have three thousand cavalry. ”
Lu Hong sat on the throne with tears in his eyes, and suddenly said an irrelevant word.
To tell the truth, Lu Hongxian is only suitable for being the commander of an army, not the commander, what does it mean, that is, Lu Hongtear can go to the battlefield tent, but she will never be able to command several armies, let all parties work together, and exert greater energy.
Therefore, in terms of military discussion, the core of Ji Luo and others is Jiang Yingluo and An Yujin, especially An Yujin, although she has no memory, but she is the deputy director of the 11th Bureau, and she has always been able to command and combat arrangement.
Jiang Yingluo has learned some war-related knowledge, after all, she has a high chance of going to the battlefield, and the Jiang family will definitely sit in the command position, so it is necessary to learn this.
And now, Jiang Yingluo and An Yujin have become the staff officers and part-time commanders of their army, and the two women glanced at each other after hearing Lu Hong's reminder, and at the same time showed a thoughtful look.
"Red Tears, there are 200,000 enemy troops, and your 3,000 cavalry are going to rob the camp?"
It's not that Ji Luo hasn't considered taking the initiative, but to be honest, compared with three thousand and two hundred thousand, the gap is too big, and it is difficult to give people enough determination to gamble.
"It's definitely not possible under normal circumstances, but if it's night, three thousand people are divided into five teams, and the five of us will lead them separately and attack from five directions......"
Lu Hongxian is definitely a cavalry commander SSS-level figure, she is born with a sensitivity to the battlefield, especially the cavalry, which has great requirements for seizing opportunities, she is even more comfortable in water.
For cavalry, it is precisely because the opportunity is fleeting, so seizing this opportunity is also extremely rich.
