The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 113: Arranging troops and strategizing

Yue Fei's method of marching troops was as steady as Mount Tai, but once he launched an offensive, it would be as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him, making it difficult for the enemy to resist.

On the second day after crossing the river, the army reorganized itself and began to attack Weizhou City!

The location of Weizhou City is too special, and there is no way to take advantage of it except to attack by force. This is the time to show the strength of the soldiers and leading generals on both sides!
The north gate of Weizhou City was the main attack target of the White Robes, and was personally commanded by Yue Fei; Alidan was responsible for leading the charge, and Feng Li and Xue Wanche commanded the army to attack the east and west gates of Weizhou City respectively.

Only the south gate was left vacant and not attacked.

A typical "surround three and defeat one" tactic.

Looking at the neat military appearance of the white-robed army in the distance, Jia Xu, who was beside Li Chengdao, couldn't help but sigh: "Looking at the white-robed army in front of me, it is really unimaginable. A year ago, it was just the Youzhou Army and Qingzhuang Army. A scattered army formed."

Hearing this, Li Chengdao also smiled slightly.

When he first arrived in Youzhou a year ago, he only had more than [-] troops. Later, he successively recruited the Youzhou army and recruited many young people from Youzhou before it developed to its current scale.

This kind of army built from scratch gave Li Chengdao a sense of accomplishment. These white-robed troops all followed his training methods and underwent the baptism of blood and fire under his leadership. Only then did they have the current army. Elite army.

But the enemy they faced this time was different. They were the real Tang Dynasty army, not the Turkic rabble.

"I hope they won't disappoint me..."

Li Chengdao murmured.

From the side, Yue Fei didn't seem to notice the profound meaning of Li Chengdao's muttering. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the strength of the White Robe Army is very strong. This will be guaranteed."

Seeing that Yue Fei misunderstood what he meant, Li Chengdao smiled slightly without explaining anything, and then focused on the battlefield in front of him.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta-"

With neat steps, the white-robed army at the north gate, led by Alidan and his two men, took the lead in attacking the city.

It was obviously the first round of tentative siege, but Yue Fei invested a total of seven thousand-man phalanxes. From this, it is not difficult to guess his determination to conquer the city.

I saw seven thousand-man phalanxes, led by their respective thousand-man generals, in the formation of "three in front and two in back", slowly approaching Weizhou City.

Li Chengdao's Mobei Iron Cavalry and Youzhou Heavy Cavalry, who had not participated in the battle, were all stimulated by the neat pace of these seven thousand white-robed soldiers, and their goosebumps gradually appeared, and their emotions became more and more excited.

Seven thousand-man phalanxes slowly approached Weizhou City.

When these Wei soldiers were only a stone's throw away from the white-robed army, Li Chengdao knew clearly in his heart: It's time to charge!

Sure enough, as Yue Fei, who was sitting in the rear army, waved his hand, the war drums of the white robe army's rear army suddenly beat.

After hearing the sound of the war drums behind him, Feng Li and Alidan, who were leading the troops, drew out the horizontal swords at their waists, pointed the sword peak at the Weizhou City wall, and shouted as if in unison: "Charge!!"

"Oh!" The [-] white-robed army vanguards immediately accelerated their pace, turning from slow steps forward to a large sprint, with amazing momentum!

"This is the white-robed army that destroyed the Turks!"

Seeing the strength of the white-robed army, Li Jing, who was watching on the city wall, was also greatly shocked.

The momentum of the army in front of him was so majestic and majestic. The army attacking the city even gave him a feeling of suffocation!
But the power of the white robe army also gave him a long-lost fighting spirit!

"Get ready to meet the enemy! Fire arrows!"

Li Jing waved his hand, and the archers on the city wall immediately bent their bows and fired arrows at the white-robed army!

"Don't stop, charge! Charge!!"

Feng Li shouted, and while shouting he bravely led his troops forward, using the horizontal sword in his hand to block the arrows flying towards him one after another.

"kill!"

And the white-robed army behind him did not slow down and attacked the city despite the rain of arrows!

The momentum of the seven thousand white-robed troops actually overwhelmed the defenders on the Weizhou city wall and pushed the Jinglan chariot under the Weizhou city wall!

In addition, hundreds of white-robed army infantry squads set up ladders, climbed the ladders and forcibly climbed to the top of the city to attack the city!
What a ferocious offensive!
Even Li Jing did not expect that the White Robe Army would be so powerful in combat, pressing the battle line to the wall of Weizhou City in one breath.

You must know that in Li Jing's impression, not only the siege battle, but also the siege side often had to go through several rounds of charges before they could break through the blockade of the defenders' flying arrow weapons and rush to the bottom of the city wall.

And this process is the fundamental reason why the attackers died many times more than the defenders in a siege battle.

It is no exaggeration to say that in an ordinary siege battle, according to the ratio, out of a hundred soldiers on the siege side, braving the blockade of the defenders' arrows, only about 30 people can finally reach the bottom of the city wall. Of these 30 people, ten will die from boulders, logs, and boiling oil thrown from the city wall, and ten will die while climbing ladders. In the end, only a few may have the chance to climb the city wall. ten people.

And these ten people still have to face the enemy's attack on the city wall, and it is very likely that all of them will die on the enemy's wall in the end.

This ratio is exactly why siege battles are so brutal.

However, at present, the vanguard of the seven thousand white-robed army, with no more than a few hundred casualties, has actually pressed the battle line to the wall of Weizhou City, and has begun to launch a ferocious offensive against the city wall. This powerful combat power makes him It was simply breathtaking, and it gave him a more intuitive understanding of the strength of the White Robe Army.

But he was shocked. Li Jing still calmly issued the order to let the army defend the city wall. At the same time, he ordered Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji to lead the attack.

"General Cheng, you lead the troops out of the city to defend the enemy at the east gate, while General Hou is in charge of the west gate!"

"The last general takes orders!"

The two of them took the order and left.

Although we are defending the city, if we just defend blindly, we will fall into a passive position. Only by leading troops to conquer the two invading enemy forces, and then encircling the vanguard army that mainly attacks Beichengqiang, can we win the fastest victory!
This is a competition between the commanders of both sides!
