Chapter 62 The surrendered city 2
Seeing that the siege was blocked, the army was scattered and did not dare to move forward. Yelu Xin was furious and rushed to the already chaotic vanguard formation, shouting loudly, and trying hard to rectify the already dispersed military formation in preparation for another battle.
"Your Majesty, our army's military is not as blunt as..."
Wu Shu was always steady. Seeing that the Liao Lord was strong and wanted to fight, he immediately couldn't help but feel a little angry. He stood up from the side and whispered.
"Okay, no need to say anything more, I know what I know!" Yelu Qi waved his hand to Wu Shu with some impatientness.
"promise!"
Seeing that Yelu Qi didn't listen to his words, Wu Shuchi did not dare to persuade him anymore. He could only respond and retreated respectfully.
"The Liao thieves are coming up again, prepare for battle!"
Cheng Wanli would never believe that the Liao army would retreat if they broke this little force. Sure enough, not long after, the Liao vanguard's troops moved forward again. Cheng Wanli yelled quickly, and the soldiers on the city stood up and were on guard...
There were 40,000 cavalry and 60,000 infantry under the command of Naiyan's troops. Although many people and horses were damaged just now, it was not considered a trauma for the Naiyan's troops, which had many soldiers and horses.
But as soon as Yelu Xin thought of the frustration of the attack just now, he was a little angry. He had promised the Khan and wanted to take the Suspension City in one fell swoop. But now... and after thinking about the generals in the Central Army's tent after returning, he couldn't stand it.
He couldn't help but make up his mind and quickly turned the part into four square formations. Except for the cavalry, all infantry formed three attack square formations and adopted the method of taking turns to make the Zhou army have no chance to breathe.
"Report, Bolu Qianhu died in battle!"
"Report, Hazan's thousand households were seriously injured!"
"Report that thousands of Uriqi households died in battle!"
"Report, Salqiwanhu died in battle!"
...
As soon as the war started, it reached a point of intense heat. The first siege of Naiyan's army rushed forward for a while, and a series of bad news came back one after another. One thousand households were killed in battle, three thousand households died one by one and two seriously injured, and nearly one-quarter of the 20,000 soldiers were lost, but they did not even rush up the top of the city. Yelu Xin's nose was so angry that he was crooked.
"Stop attacking for me, don't stop, let the second team go to me! I don't believe that Zhou Jun is a fierce battle this time!"
As a commander, he knew the difficulties of siege, especially the hardest city like Suicheng. But he never expected how long the war had started, and one of his subordinates was crippled, so he couldn't help but see the extreme.
You should know that this siege battle is the most tragic of all wars. I saw the ladders under the surrendered city being raised one after another, and the rolling stones on the city fell like rain. No matter how far the city was, there were continuous screams of screams. At this time, life was like grass, and no one was interested in it.
A great battle was fought from Si Shi to Wei Shi. No matter how the Liao army attacked wildly, the surrendered city remained unmoved without any flaws.
Seeing that the successive attacks of his troops did not shake the Suicheng at all, but caused him heavy losses, Yelu Xin couldn't help but become angry, and when he was planning to go into battle himself...
“Woo woo woo woo…”
Before Yelu Xin could react, a shrill sound of trumpets sounded from the central army's tent. When Yelu Xin heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly called out the gold to withdraw his troops and retreated to the camp.
"Khan, I deserve to die. I failed to attack the city. Please punish the Khan!"
Yelu Xin suffered heavy losses and gained nothing. He rode his horse back to the central army and was very nervous. After entering the tent of the khan, he fell to the ground and asked to avenge his guilt.
"snort!"
“传令!拙鹿部再行攻城!”
Yelu Qi ignored Yelu Xin at all and allowed him to kneel there. He gave the order to attack the city again with a cold expression. In a moment, the horn sounded loudly again. The army of Zhulu troops, who had been on standby for a long time, rushed towards the Sujiang City. The war that had just stopped was ignited again!
“大汗!奴下,奴下……”
Yelu Xin knelt for a while, and Yelu Qi never even looked at him directly. The panic in his heart became stronger and stronger. For the sake of his own life, he could only knelt forward with his teeth, kowtowed repeatedly, and called out loud.
"Get out!"
Yelu Qi glanced at Yelu Xin with a blue face and shouted impatiently.
"Ah? Yes! Yes! I am guilty, I am damned, I am the last general..."
When Yelu Qi's tone was not good, Yelu Xin was so scared that he trembled all over and asked for sin.
"Hmph! If it weren't for your ability to attack the city, Ben Khan would have cut you with one knife, so why didn't he get out!" Yelu Qi snorted coldly, scolded him loudly, and waved his hand, like driving a flies.
"Thank you, Khan! For the kindness of not killing! Thank you, Khan! For the reason of not killing..."
Yelu Xin was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly kowtowed a few more times and then retreated in shame amid the sneering of other generals in the tent.
Another new force of Liao Kingdom rushed to the city tower. Although the city was favorable to the advantage of the surrender city, under the Liao army's repeated attacks, the city tower was in a hurry. The Liao army had rushed to the city tower several times. Although they were driven down by the soldiers, they also suffered heavy losses. The original more than 10,000 officers and soldiers had lost more than 2,000 people in the rotation of guarding the city, and even Cheng Wanli was also lucky. Although his injuries were not serious, the impact on the morale of the army was extremely great. Seeing that the soldiers and generals on the city were gradually unable to support it, Cheng Wanli saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart!
Cheng Wanli still has some troops, and he still has more than 6,000 reserve teams brought from Daxing, but Cheng Wanli did not dare to throw in rashly. You must know that this is the first day of the war. If he used up all his cards, he would probably not have to defend this surrendered city.
Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, Cheng Wanli can only grit his teeth and hold on, leading his guards to put out the fire everywhere, running around the city. His bright light armor had already been stained with blood and blood, and he had long disappeared.
The night on the plateau came early, and today it was rainy again, so the night came earlier. Before Shen was sunny, the sky gradually darkened, but the fierce battle between the attackers and defenses did not relieve the arrival of the night. The Liao army, who took turns to attack the city, regardless of the disadvantage of darkness, lit countless torches to light up the underworld, and continued to attack the city tower.
“儿郎们,快给我上,杀辽狗,杀啊!”
Liu Chong, the commander of the Shuofang Duwei Mansion, was the first powerful general under Cheng Qianli. He had very few opponents in the Yongzhou army. At this time, he led the troops of the defense to replace Cheng Wanli. Seeing the fierce battle on the city tower, he was a little shaky.
He couldn't help but roared and rushed to the top of the city. He waved the long sword in his hand and combed the Liao army that was climbing the city like cutting melons and vegetables. With the addition of the new force, the morale of the soldiers and generals on the city was greatly boosted, and they shouted and chopped towards the Liao army that was climbing the city, driving them down again. The fierce siege battle fell into a stalemate again.
"Shank you, it's too late to attack the city. If you force yourself to fight, it's probably just a waste of military strength. It's better to wait until tomorrow, the slaves are full and have enough food and drink, and it's not too late to attack the city."
Seeing that the casualties on their own were getting worse, the generals of the Liao Kingdom were a little impatient. However, due to Yelu Qi's power, no one dared to jump out and stop the battle. In the end, Wu Shuchi stood up and tactfully proposed to quit the war.
“再攻一波!吹号!”
The dark night has always been a taboo in siege. Unless it is an attack on the night or an internal force breaks the city, the attacking side can only consume its military strength in vain. How could Yelu Qi not know about this? Only tens of thousands of soldiers attacked in turn, but there was no contribution at all, which made Yelu Qi feel a little embarrassed.
Therefore, he did not accept Wu Shuchi's suggestion, but instead gave the order to attack again with a cold face. In a moment, a shrill sound of trumpets sounded again. The already exhausted Liao army launched a crazy attack again as if they had taken aphrodisiac. In an instant, the defenders on the city suddenly felt the pressure increased sharply, and the city was in a hurry several times.
Although the Liao army sent troops to attack Suijiang City at all costs, they were not on the Liao army regardless of the time and place. They fought until late at night, and the Liao army, which had no successors, had to stop the truce...
雍州,大兴府城.
Since the battle a few days ago, countless soldiers have gathered here one after another. To this day, nearly 150,000 troops from the Six Guards and tens of thousands of government troops recruited from various places have arrived outside Daxing City, turning this place into a huge military camp. With the roaring and neighing of the horses, it has dispelled the desolation outside the city, making the mountains full of beasts and birds fly away.
Xie Xuan's order to gather troops has been issued for a long time. The prefectures belonging to the nearby states are rushing towards Daxing City. However, the distances of the states vary, and many of the prefectures are still on the marching road. If you really want to gather all the troops, it is obvious that you still have to wait. This speed naturally cannot satisfy Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan, Li Jing, the governor of Ganzhou and the generals of the guards gathered in the city.
"You have all read the battle report? Do you have anything to say?" Xie Xuan said with a glance at the generals in the hall.
"Master, we have indeed read the war report. The Liao people came here fiercely and joined forces, and more than 500,000 troops were approaching the border. It should not be ignored. There are only less than 20,000 people in the city that you surrender. I am afraid..." Gao Jie, the governor of Yongzhou, said with some concern.
"Governor Gao doesn't have to worry too much. Cheng Wanli is the general. He has a strong city in his hand. The Liao army cannot get a good deal!" Xie Xuan said with a smile. Xie Xuan still recognized Cheng Wanli's ability, and the Suijiang City is a strong city, and the two masks are dangerous mountains. The Liao army can only attack one of them, so it is not that easy to capture Suijiang City.
As he said that, Xie Xuan looked at the people in the hall and said, "The Liao army is in great power. We must be extremely cautious and not make any mistakes. You should go quickly to reorganize the army. When the troops arrive together, the soldiers will be sent to the city of surrender!"
“喏!”殿下众将纷纷抱拳领命.
