Me, Yuan Fang?

Chapter 620 A world where only spies are injured

In Tongcheng, Shangguan Jinhong entered the city gate, accompanied by Yu Qian and a few generals. Naturally, they came to defend the city, but at this time, Yu Qian's complexion was not very good, while the faces of several generals were different and a little embarrassed .

"Master Shoufu cares deeply about the military and civilians of Yucheng, and the last generals are grateful, but the overall situation is the same, please cheer up again, there is still a tough battle to fight in the future."

A certain lieutenant could still speak, but his consolation didn't have any effect. Yu Qian just turned his head away and looked at Shangguan Jin Hong with a questioning look in his eyes.

Shangguan Jinhong knew what he meant, and said calmly: "My people should come back after calculating the time. We will know how the situation in Yucheng is in a while. However, the Qing army should not be able to slaughter the city. If the lord of Yucheng surrendered on his own initiative , should be able to protect the military and civilians from worries.”

It was too late to say it, and the so-called spies seemed to be cooperating with Shangguan Jinhong. As soon as the words fell to the ground, the so-called spies had already returned.

"Report! Yucheng resisted strongly, and the Qing army returned without success. Now they have changed the direction of attack and are heading towards Tongcheng!"

"..."

Ok?
Weicheng defended?
Shangguan Jinhong reached out and pressed the spy's neck, "You spy of the Qing army, you must have some logic in making up nonsense!"

The spy panicked, he didn't understand where his words were illogical, they were all true!
Click!Shangguan Jinhong broke his neck, Yu Qian frowned slightly and sighed: "You acted too fast, at least you should ask clearly."

Shangguan Jinhong snorted coldly, "You and I both know that the city lord of Yucheng has no talent, and it is impossible for Weicheng to hold it. The spies say so, it may only be to lure us to send troops, and then intercept halfway to wipe out our army !"

Shangguan Jinhong's speculation is obviously in line with everyone's thinking logic, but Yu Qian looked at the dead spy, but a question rang in his mind.

Is Dorgon so stupid?

It's just that now that the person is dead, Yu Qian can't get to the bottom of it, and he doesn't have time to think about it.

Boom~!

Horseshoes roared like rolling thunder, and outside the city, the mighty black Qing army had already begun to gather and form formation.The flags were unfurled, and the momentum of the army formation even pushed away the dark clouds in the sky.

There is no doubt in Yu Qian's mind, such a strong combat power, Weicheng should take the lead to defend?
"Hmph, this Dorgon is also a bachelor. I just killed the spy on my side, and his side has already started to attack."

"Perhaps Dorgon also knows that this kind of action has no chance of success!"

"..."

Everyone's expressions were a little weird for a moment, and they almost sneaked a glance at the dead spy at the same time, then Yu Qian sighed softly, turned around and shouted: "Shameless, but the Qing army only knows how to play some dirty tricks, what does this mean? It means they Afraid of us! If we can crack his conspiracy, then we will definitely be able to drive the Qing army back!"

Morale is a very mysterious thing, and such an operation is really effective. The soldiers in the city began to prepare for battle one by one, screaming.

Outside the city, Dorgon saw Yu Qian and Shangguan Jinhong on the city wall from a distance, and nodded with satisfaction, "Hmph, seeing how they mobilized in a hurry, it seems that they are not prepared. That's right, it seems that you and I There is no problem with the previous speculation, they have ambushed most of their forces in Weicheng, trying to plot against us."

Tang Ruowang next to him also nodded, look at the flat top of the city, it looks like a normal city guard, what the hell is blocking the view?

Dorgon didn't say anything more, attack the city!

In almost the same pattern, the heavy armored cavalry began to lift the ram towards the city gate, and the ram was entwined with powerful internal force, almost emitting light.

And the Ming army in the city was not ambiguous, a group of masters blocked the gate of the city, and also attached their internal strength to the gate of the city.

This is how wars are fought in this world. The existence of true energy and internal strength makes the two armies fight more like two people are fighting. You come and go, and there are a lot of tricks.

Boom!

The slamming wood and the city gate slammed together, and the strong qi reaction formed an air wave that exploded, causing many knights to fall to the ground uncontrollably, but they didn't have any difficulties, and even felt very smooth.

You see, this is right, the collision of true energy is the mainstream!
The Ming army guarding the city had no idea what the enemy outside the city was thinking, but felt that the quality of the Qing army was so strong. The impact just now made many people feel their hearts stagnate and want to vomit blood.

"Fire arrows!"

The same is the rain of arrows, Tongcheng's archers are obviously much stronger than Yucheng's improvised ones, and they are thrown farther and more powerfully, and they also caused more casualties to the Qing army.

"Huh? This round of arrow rain is very particular. They are all veterans of bows and arrows!"

The first thing Zuo Zhou could do was bow and arrow skills, so he could see through the quality of the Ming army's soldiers almost at a glance.

Li Yuzhu nodded and echoed, "That's right, they're all elites. It's just...if there are elites here, then in Weicheng..."

They are different from Dorgon and others, all they get is first-hand information, so they are quite clear about the combat power of the Ming army. You must know that the most elite troops of the Ming army were dispersed in the first battle led by Zhu Qizhen. Yes, although many people escaped, but those people lost their fighting spirit, not to mention that they could not be found in a short time, even if they were found, they would not have much fighting power.

Therefore, there are not many elite troops that the Ming army can pull up temporarily. If they are scattered to two cities, they can only give Dorgon a chance to defeat each of them. Therefore, it is a decision that has to be made to gather the superior troops.

It's just... If the superior force is in Tongcheng, what's the situation in Weicheng?
The two looked at each other inexplicably, wanting to laugh, but held back.

Dorgon is still not aware of any problems, and even said to Tang Ruowang, "Look, their way of defending the city this time is normal, and there is no ambush at first sight."

Tang Ruowang also nodded in satisfaction, not to say that there was something wrong with the ambush or the traditional method, but... Li Yuanfang's move flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Maybe the two of them didn't realize it by themselves, but now when they heard that it was Da Qinlai's master, they subconsciously felt a little scared!

The Qing soldiers had already started to build the ladders, and Dorgon also started at almost the same time, but instead of rushing to the top of the wall, he released his aura and coercion, entangled with Shangguan Jinhong in the distance.

This is the normal mode of national warfare. This kind of coercion can effectively form pressure on the soldiers, and because it is borne by the whole army, the soldiers can't even notice the abnormality. When the battle is played, the combat effectiveness will often decline unconsciously. Yes, just like a large buff.

In fact, Dorgon also used coercion when he was in Weicheng before, but the problem is that the defenders of Weicheng didn't show up at all. It's a catapult lathe crossbow mixed with bow and arrow projectiles, which is immune to debuffs from another angle. Are you angry?
"Oh? Isn't it a coincidence, it's Shangguan Jinhong!"

"You have a grudge?"

Li Yuzhu looked at him strangely, you have quite a lot of enemies.

"It's not a feud, but he used to be one of the leaders of the Qinglong Society, and the Qinglong Society was originally an enemy of Daqin. As a general of Daqin, I would naturally have contact. They arranged for me to break the game. Well, I used to be famous When I was in Dali Temple, I was quite dedicated.”

"Then you want to do it?"

"You don't need to do it...but you can talk about it. I'm still quite interested in some of his things."

Zuo Zhou raised his eyebrows. His woman is now one of the leaders of the Azure Dragon Society. Although this leader has not been recognized by the big leader, the intelligence power and various channels are real.If...you can grasp all of Shangguan Jinhong's intelligence channels, then this force will begin to see its scale. With this foundation, I believe that with Jiang Yuyan's ability, it should develop well.

Zuo Zhou is still thinking about something. The defenders and the Qing army have already launched an offensive and defensive battle at the top of the city.

Soldiers of the Qing army often stabbed with three or five spears as soon as they showed their heads. Some were directly flying, and some were supported by their fellow robes behind and carried their shields to the top of the city.

But getting to the top of the city is just the beginning. Once you get to the top of the city, more soldiers will surely surround you. Shield poking is a very unsolvable mode, especially during sieges. It is often so crowded that you can hardly even move your feet. Difficult, and then stabbed to death by random guns.

In this case, we can only wait for more and more comrades-in-arms to go to the top of the city. Siege warfare has always been a costly process.

"Bow and arrow suppression!"

Dorgon waved his hand and ordered the archers to release arrows. The main purpose was to pour firepower on the city to reduce the pressure on the Qing soldiers.

But in fact, this kind of behavior has very limited effect in siege battles, because bows and arrows sometimes have no eyes, and they can threaten the defenders, and naturally they may also threaten their own people. With too many bows, the fatigue of the archers accumulates, There is also a drop in accuracy.

It's just that these are all in Dorgon's expectation, and it can be regarded as common sense. Most of the time, the victory or defeat of the siege battle depends on the accumulation of corpses at the top of the city.

Yes, ordinary people may not think of it, and it is not even written in the Art of War.

When the battle is fierce, there is no time to deal with the enemy's corpses, and when there are too many corpses on the ground to affect the formation and actions, it is often the time when the attacking side is most likely to occupy the top of the city.

So tragic!so cruel!
But this time the siege was not so simple, because Shangguan Jinhong would lead a group of masters to blow the corpses away, and even use them as rolling stones.

This also means that this battle will be more intense than ever, and more people will die.

"The generals have started." Tang Ruowang looked at the sudden fluctuations of qi blowing out from the city wall from a distance.

Dorgon clasped his hands together, and said lightly: "Let's consume their true energy first, and try our best to break through the city gate before dark."
