Start a city building order

Chapter 159
The army of the Song clan crossed the river again. It was a hundred miles west of the Pingcheng Ferry, where the water flow was very gentle, and the way of crossing the river was quite powerful.

They first pulled up two iron cables on both sides of the river, and then connected them to the iron cables with flat river boats. This is how the bridge with parallel horse-drawn carriages was formed.

In just one day, [-] cavalry, [-] infantry, [-] crossbowmen, [-] carts, hundreds of artillery pieces, and a large amount of luggage from the Song Clan crossed the river smoothly.

On the second day, from outside Pingcheng Ferry, Lucheng, Dashi County, and even the Yanmen Pass area were all over the Song Clan army.

These rangers form a team of hundreds of people, among them there must be ten level 6 cavalry, and the rest are all level 5 cavalry. They walk in all directions, and if they see them from a distance, they can only turn around and run with their tails between their legs, because they are really no opponents. , this time, in the army of the Song Clan, there are 6 level 6 cavalry alone, more than 5 level [-] heavy infantry, and most of the rest are level [-] soldiers. The military power is unprecedented. .

On Li Si's side, even a hero like Dong Erdai was too shocked to take a step out.

Dashi County closed its gates tightly and was shocked three times a day.

If it weren't for the Fangshan Fort Fortress, Dashi County would be the first to fall.

"Unexpectedly, our nephew is really capable. The entire Luming Mountain area is managed by him like an iron bucket. If there is no other way, I really don't want to attack here."

Ten miles away from Dashi County, Song Yunshi spoke to his cousin Song Yunrong with a face full of pain. The two of them led two thousand elite cavalry, roaring like the wind. Kung fu can be won, but now let alone attack, they dare not approach for ten miles.

The catapults on the fangshan fort are very rogue and very accurate. Not long ago, they launched a salvo on a centurion ranger. At least two thousand catapults fell from the top of the mountain and were killed by the regiment on the spot. off.

It's too awful.

"There is no doubt that the gunners on the Fangshan Fort have marked every area within ten miles around Dashi County out of the shooting range, so they can point and shoot like this. If the stones on the Fangshan Fort If we have enough ammunition, even if our army has [-] troops, we probably won’t be able to take down this small county.”

"Go and see the Yanmen Pass ahead."

Song Yunshi's mentality was stable, he led the team around Dashi County, he didn't even dare to get close to Yanhui Mountain, because there were crossbowmen guarding the top of the mountain, and they had to work hard to climb the steep mountain ridge. But the crossbowmen can wait for work with leisure, and they can't attack even if they are all dead.

"How many soldiers does this kid Li Cunsi have? Just when the geese on the northern line returned to the mountain, at least [-] crossbowmen were deployed." Song Yunrong was surprised after making a rough estimate at this time.

Their Song Clan is a thousand-year-old family with abundant military virtues. In addition to the 20 standing army, they can pull out another [-] legions at any time, but how long has Li Cunsi developed?According to this scale, at least [-] standing troops, can he afford it?
This food, armor, and weapons are not brought by the strong wind.

Especially the training of soldiers, I can't figure it out.

Song Yunshi and Song Yunrong led the cavalry to walk all the way, looking at them all the way, and being startled every step of the way.

Along the way, they found places where the mountains eased and they could attack from the front, but without exception, they built stone fortresses, on which dozens or hundreds of catapults were more or less deployed, and eight Niu crossbow, the soldiers are nothing special, they are all crossbow soldiers, one word, many!

They had previously estimated that there would be 3 soldiers here, which was actually underestimated. If the defenders of Yanmen Pass and the defenders of Yanhui Mountain were included, it would be at least [-] soldiers.

When the two of them arrived at Yanmen Pass, they just took a look at it from a distance, and then resolutely gave up the attack.

If attacking Dashi County can only be regarded as a small torture, then attacking Yanmen Pass is a big torture.

"Last year, Li Cunsi wanted to rebuild Qingyuan County, but this time he withdrew very happily. He didn't hold back. Now we are like a yellow dog biting a hedgehog, and we have no choice." Song Yunrong smiled wryly, he is I am convinced.

"No, not necessarily. If Li Cunsi put 3 people on the northern line and at least 1 people on the river defense on the southern line, then guess what, his western line, which is messy and bluffing like a hornet's nest, can how many people?"

Song Yunshi seems to have discovered a blind spot.

"There is no need to think about the northern route, let alone the eastern route. We have to guard against attacks from the fortified Zhang family. It is not advisable to land from the big river. Our navy is not as good as the Chu family, so we can only attack the western front. Don't worry about Li Cunsi's tricks, just choose one point, focus on breakthroughs, and when our army breaks through the gap, he will be destroyed."

"I agree too."

After the investigation, the two came to this conclusion.

At the same time, Li Si was also on Yanhui Mountain to observe the enemy's situation. This time, he only provided strategies, and resolutely did not command at the tactical level, so as not to affect his reputation as a famous general through the ages.

Well, mostly it's not necessary.

Because as far as the people under him are concerned, there is nothing to say about their loyalty to him and their gratitude to him, especially at this time when the spring plowing is over and when the good days are coming. Dare to fight.

In just a few days, [-] crossbowmen were in place, most of them were militiamen.

For example, on Yanhui Mountain and Yanmenguan, there are only a few elite soldiers, and the rest are all crossbowmen, that is, crossbowmen who are scumbags in close combat and can only rely on terrain and defense to aim at the enemy and shoot.

And 5000 people were invested in one breath, which is huge.

Even if you have a hundred thousand troops to attack, I am not afraid. In fact, this is really not a bluff, unless the Song Clan wants to exchange sons, if you take 5 heads to exchange sons, you will definitely be able to attack.

On the eastern front, Li Si also arranged for [-] militia crossbowmen to defend the guard city of Zhang's by relying on the terrain and the newly built city wall.

But this side has one advantage, that is, the terrain is not a plain, but is full of hills and valleys. It is difficult for Zhang's army in the Acropolis to deploy, so there is no need to worry too much for a while.

"In this battle, fighting hard is the worst policy. The core point is still to exploit our strengths and attack the enemy's weaknesses. After the enemy has seen the density of our army's defense on the northern front, they can only attack the western front. Although our army is in the west The city walls are deployed on the line, but the combat method should not be too rigid."

Li Si said as he walked, followed by Zhao Shan, Dong Erdai, Li Xin, Zhang Cheng, Xu Chang and other high-level generals. This time he seemed to be defending from all sides, but in fact he had mobilized most of the elite to Lucheng. Choose an opportunity to fight the main force of the Song Clan.

"According to our army not accepting returns at night, the enemy army also has hundreds of artillery pieces, and the level of craftsmen of the other side is not weaker than ours. Now the other side is already assembling trebuchets wantonly. It is roughly estimated that they can assemble at least [-] pieces of artillery. tower."

"Therefore, the city walls on the western front can only pretend to be defensive, and cannot be defended to death. If the enemy's infantry advances, our army will immediately use a carriage to pull a trebuchet to approach them quickly and smash them."

"And the enemy army will definitely test our army in all directions. When they find that our army has no dead ends in any place, they will definitely choose a little breakthrough, spread tactics from all sides, concentrate superior forces, and break through the front line despite the casualties. When the city wall is trapped in a horse pit and the horse is rejected, the city wall is torn apart, and the enemy's heavy cavalry will definitely rush in immediately to expand the advantage."

"Now, do you know what to do?"

Speaking of this, the others smiled knowingly. They have already left the low-level stage of simply stacking the number of trebuchets. Now all their camps are playing with mobility. Once the enemy is found, they must focus on cutting through. Then it only takes an hour, at least five thousand small trebuchets will be quickly maneuvered over, and then, so what if your twenty thousand heavy cavalry rush in?
Stop laughing!
