Back to the Qin Dynasty as a prince

Chapter 89: A Nail in Longxi

Longxi, Ji County.

After seven days of siege, the city wall of Ji County was already dilapidated.However, the defenders in the city were extremely tenacious. They fought several times and robbed them repeatedly. They were immediately snatched back by the defenders in the city and stepped up repairs.The city wall was patched and patched, and it looked as if the entire city wall had been covered with leprosy, which was extremely ugly.

But it was such an ugly city wall that kept Yuyanggu's 4000 troops outside the city of Ji County for seven days.If they were blocked by strong soldiers from the strong city, the Yu family rebels would not complain.But it was blocked by a county town that hadn't repaired military armor for many years, and was blocked by a lucky villain Xiao He leading a mere [-] people.This made it difficult for the rebels to accept up and down.

On the first day, Yu Chao led the army to attack the city, and nearly one-third of the clan army with side branch children as the core had lost nearly one-third of its troops. If the core hadn't been broken, the entire army would have been crippled.You know, even a first-class strong army in ancient times, if the loss rate on the battlefield reaches the level of one-third, there is a high probability that it will mutiny and collapse.Fortunately, it was the siege troops, which allowed Yu Chao to lead his direct descendants to stabilize his troops, but he refused to go into battle anyway.

The first day's siege ended in such a hasty way, which made the Yu family very embarrassed.His subordinates have no strength, and their performance is so poor, it's no wonder people underestimate Yu's family.

So, the next day, Yu Nan led a force twice as many as his own to attack Ximen again as a military lord.At this time, the moat, traps, and horse rejection at the west gate of Jixian County have all been demolished.The siege troops can attack the city directly by running away.

For this battle, there were not many descendants of the Centaur and Yu family, apart from Yu Nan's [-] men, they were all part of the private armies of other wealthy families in Longxi.The Yu family has been rooted in Longxi for a hundred years, and the in-laws are deeply rooted. Interests and entanglements are difficult to sort out. The Yu family, who is determined to rebel against Qin, resorts to threats. Festival women usually go all the way to the dark.

The Yu family gathered all their potential savings, and the number of people they gathered was no more than 1 on the surface, and one third of them stayed in the west of Longxi in Didao City for garrison. [-] people were brought to the battlefield in Jixian County to overwhelm the soldiers and horses of more than [-] people put together by the rest of the rich.Although these soldiers and horses with chaotic flags and different commands gathered together under the Yuyang ancient tent, one could guess with their toes whether they could be commanded by the Yu family like arms.

Perhaps the Yu family shouldn't let the children of the Yu family attack for the sake of standing on the first day.After all, no one would have imagined that the small town of Ji County would stick to it like this.Like an iron nail, they were nailed to the west of Longxi and could not get out of the cage.

The conditions for organizing the siege for the second time were much better than the last time, and the force reached 8000.With 4000 people as the main attack on Ximen, the remaining 4000 people scattered in three auxiliary attacks.

The weapons and equipment and the momentum of the men and horses were much more than last time, which gave the eight thousand rebel soldiers who participated in the siege a little more confidence.

But together with the siege, 4000 people and ants attached to the siege, the ladders climbed all over the city wall like vines, crashed into cars, cheered, and all the cars came out.Rain of arrows, trebuchets covered the west city.

The intensity of the siege gradually increased rapidly, and the casualties increased rapidly.The will to defend the city above the city wall is still tenacious, but the siege soldiers below the city are much paler than yesterday's direct descendants of the Yu family.

These wealthy Longxi clans were originally wealthy merchants who broke out in business in the Western Regions, with thousands of miles of commercial routes, not to mention the looting of nomads, even the land outside the Great Wall densely populated by horse bandits also made merchants feel insecure.In this way, all wealthy businessmen who go out to do business outside the Great Wall have escorts under them.These people fight all year round, licking blood with their knives, and their fighting will is much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers.

Of course, the largest guard team outside the Great Wall belonged to Longxi Yu's family, and these fine cavalry guards were under Yu Xinfeng's command, so they couldn't get out easily.The rest are the [-] soldiers and horses gathered by many wealthy families.

Except for one thousand soldiers from the Yu family's main formation, the remaining three thousand are soldiers and horses pieced together by several wealthy families.These soldiers and horses are the elite directly pulled out from the guard by the Hao clan.

This time, Haozu also has the intention to show its muscles and win more right to speak.In this way, of course, we must send out powerful people in our hands.

But the result was not as expected by the wealthy Longxi family.The elite assembled by three thousand is not good at siege, and most of the trade routes are flat land, desert, wilderness, and Gobi.There is no mention of siege.The horse bandits will not defend the city, of course they will attack by surprise and loot like the wind.Even the plunder of nomads will not let you build a city beforehand.In this way, most of these guards themselves were cavalry.Even infantry, there is no such thing as training for siege.

Not familiar with siege is one, and the command of these self-supporting elite and brave elites is messy.The lack of unity of command and the inability to coordinate and assist each other gave the defenders enough time and energy to defeat each of them.And the last one is that these people are extremely jealous of the two aspects of the defenders. The first aspect is that they are brave and bloody, and they don't pay attention to the defenders at all.Unfamiliarity with the siege made the 3000 people despise the defenders to a large extent. Together with the siege, the slag in the siege tactics made the defenders achieve the maximum possible damage.The attack lasted for three days, and in the end even Yunan's men and women could not escape. 3000 people took turns to attack the city, but they still couldn't do anything to the dilapidated city wall in the west city.

At this time, another extreme heart appeared.The original self-restraint was beaten to the ground, the arrogance became a guilty conscience, and the low morale spread throughout the camp of the wealthy private soldiers like an infectious disease.At this moment, the private soldiers of the powerful clan, who were already commanding chaotically, had extremely weak control over the grassroots, and there was no quick and effective means of improvement, so that the low morale eventually turned into cowardice in attacking the city.On the fourth day, the siege was interrupted.

The time has reached the sixth day of the siege of Ji County.The six-day siege resulted in heavy casualties for the attacking side. Thousands of people were killed in the direct battle, while there were countless serious and minor injuries, and as many as [-] people lost their combat effectiveness.

Although the six-day high-intensity siege consumed the harvest materials stored in the city quickly, for the rebels dominated by the Yu family, it was too much to exchange [-] lives and [-] light and serious injuries for half of the materials consumed in the city. Too much in the city.

The Yu family has many talents who manage general affairs, and the ordnance that has been accumulated for generations has been moved out of Wuling one after another to enrich the siege warehouses in Ji County.Because of the savings of three generations of Wuling, the Yu family dared to defend the army and fight for consumption.But the loss of six thousand lost combat power is still heavy for the rebels.

All the generals looked at the dilapidated city wall of Ji County from the nest car, and remained silent.Longxi is connected to the internal history and can directly threaten the capital of the Qin Dynasty.In the 800 years since the founding of the Qin State, it was rare for the capital to be besieged.What's more, it has been a hundred years since the Shang Dynasty reformed, and Qin has been strong in the world for a hundred years. There are cases where all the countries in the world join forces to attack Qin, but they are blocked in Hangu and cannot enter.Qin stationed millions of troops in Guanzhong to gain a glimpse of the world and take them, but no one can threaten the capital of Qin at such a close range.

If a rebel general threatened Guanzhong, it would be an indescribable shock to anyone in Xianyang City.That's why the Yu family wants to break the nail of Ji County.Going out of Longxi to enter the internal history shocked the world and set off a tide of restoration of the survivors of the six countries.When the time comes, the world will be in chaos, Qin Chao will open his fists, his belly will be hollow, Yu Yanggu will have to see how the majestic monarch on the Dragon Throne will deal with this mess!

But, I just couldn't think of it.Yuyang Gu's heart felt like a knife was twisted, looking at the dilapidated city wall of Ji County, it was as if his own heart was also being twisted by a knife, dripping with blood and rain, causing thousands of wounds.Although Ji County is a small city, it is the main point that the Longxi army must break through.From Longxi to Xianyang, there are two important cities, one is Ji County, which is today's Tianshui, and the other is Fengxiang.Breaking through Ji County, capturing Fengxiang, and gaining a glimpse of Xianyang, the world can be violently stirred up by Yuyanggu.Otherwise, if you only go to Fengxiang, you will not be able to affect the land of Qinlong, and if you only go to Ji County, the influence will not even be able to leave Longxi!How is this called Yuyanggu?

Yu Yanggu on the watchtower clenched his fists with both hands, and suddenly pressed the sword with his left hand: "Four days, with eight thousand times the enemy's soldiers, there is no progress in the four days of strong attack. Tell me, what is the reason for this!"

The faces of the five generals who participated in the siege turned pale, and they all bowed down: "Please forgive me, Prime Minister."

Yu Yanggu's face was livid: "Come here, take off Yu Nan's general uniform and send it to the front camp. To attack the city tomorrow, throw it to me on the front line!"

Yu Nan's face was bloodless, she was depressed to the end, she let the left and right spread the bun on Yu Nan's head, and stripped off the good armor on her body, and replaced it with an ordinary armor.

The fish on the side couldn't bear it, and the eyes flickered.But Yuyang Gu gave him a sideways look, and he didn't dare to move rashly.

The other military marquises who were descendants of the wealthy clan saw that Yu Nan had been stripped of his general uniform and became a front-line soldier.There was also a burst of panic when he was gloating on his face.

Immediately bowed his head and kowtowed: "Please prime minister to spare the villain's life, the villain is willing to take the lead and lead the guards to attack the city!"

"Prayer, please give me another chance, the villain will definitely capture Ximen."

"Please forgive me..."

Yu Yanggu pulled out the saber in his hand, plunged it into the ground, and said to several people: "These four people, Qiao Mao, Cheng Xi, Wang Xiu, and Trade Xiu, fear the enemy and fight cowardly, and their crimes should not be pardoned. Hang their heads at the gate of the camp, The position is established by the deputy!"

what……

The four people watched in horror as the guards around Yuyanggu suddenly held the four of them down, and the four terrified screams were suddenly cut off, leaving only the four heads of Xue Linlin hanging above the camp gate.

"Tomorrow, if you attack the city tomorrow, anyone who dares to fear the enemy and fight will end up like this!" Yuyang Gu coldly put down these words, then turned and left.

Ji County.

Xiao He, who was watching coldly from the city wall, patted the county magistrate Kong Qianchun on the shoulder beside him, and said, "Let's go. The bandit army has cleaned up the interior. With the help of us, he cleared up the internal contradictions for himself. Fortunately, he was a brilliant man at the moment."

Kong Qianchun's complexion was very tired and pale due to long-term work and lack of rest. Hearing this, the frowning brows were filled with unresolved sorrow.
