The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 531 Divide troops to lure the enemy
In the Hengshan barracks, Chen Rui looked at everyone with a gloomy expression, "Everyone, gunpowder is ineffective against the city gate. Next, how should we take this city?"

"Master, why don't we increase the amount of gunpowder tomorrow." Zhang Yu, the brigade commander of the second brigade, stood up and said, "I don't believe it, how tightly they can block it."

"You know, we don't carry too much gunpowder. If we consume too much here, we won't be able to complete the next task." Chen Rui was quite moved, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said.

"Master, why don't we attack by force, maybe we can take it in one fell swoop?" Li Jin, the brigade commander, stood up and said, "Although our army is cavalry, it is not untrained to attack the city on foot. Although the opponent has [-] The defenders are not invincible. Our army has grenades, kerosene, catapults and other siege weapons, so it is not impossible to take this city."

Chen Rui frowned, rather hesitantly, "If it's a hard attack, I'm afraid the casualties will be too great."

"Teacher, I will attack the city tomorrow, and my brigade is willing to be the vanguard. If I can't attack the city wall, I will come to see you later." Seeing that the master did not deny it, Li Jin couldn't help being overjoyed, and immediately clasped his fists and begged for orders.

"Li Jin, I don't want your head, but you have to do your best to keep the lives of the soldiers." Chen Rui glared at him and shouted in a deep voice.

"The last general takes orders!" Li Jin was overjoyed and responded immediately.

"Brigade Commander Zhang, Brigadier Zhong, you two are responsible for containing the other three." Chen Rui immediately looked at the other two, "I don't want to attack by force, but I want to keep their troops firmly in place so that they can't support the North." Door."

"The last general takes orders." The two immediately stood up and responded.

"Everyone, we don't have much time. If we can't take this city tomorrow, even if our army is facing instability in the rear, we must immediately march north to join the troops in the north." Chen Rui said solemnly, "Tomorrow, everyone Go all out."

After the meeting ended, Zhang Yu grabbed Zhong Qi who was traveling with him, "Old Zhong, what are your plans for attacking the city tomorrow?"

Zhong Qi looked at him suspiciously, "Didn't the commander say that we are responsible for restraining the defenders of the three gates?"

"I didn't ask you this." Zhang Yu waved his hand and grabbed his shoulders, "I mean, are we really just trying to contain the enemy? Do you want to win the first victory in breaking the city?"

"Of course I want to, but Lao Li has already taken over the job, so it's not easy for us to fight for merit." Zhong Qi spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Hey, Lao Zhong, do you really think so?" Zhang Yu looked at him with a strange smile.

Zhong Qi was quite uncomfortable being watched by him, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"Old Zhong, do you also want to take advantage of tomorrow when most of the enemy troops gather at the north gate, and suddenly use your strength to take down the city wall?" Zhang Yu's eyes were like lightning, and he looked up and down Zhong Qi.

Zhong Qi blushed slightly, "You are worrying too much, I think you want to do this yourself?"

"Of course I want to do this." Unexpectedly, Zhang Yu immediately admitted, "Old Zhong, it's not that I didn't remind you, that kid Li Jin came up with a plan this time and took charge of the main attack. Once he really wins the city, you Believe it or not, when he returns from the triumphant return, he will be promoted to colonel due to his meritorious service, and when he forms a new army in the future, he will be able to become the commander of a division in one fell swoop. But the two of us are still lingering here. "

"Brother Zhang, what do you mean?" Zhong Qi's face changed slightly, "You must not drag Li Jin back. Although our army allows competition in the army, we must not break the rules."

"Look at what you said, am I that kind of person?" Zhang Yu couldn't help feeling a little anxious when he heard this, "Let's hold back a large number of defenders for that kid Li Jin. Come on, it’s not a broken rule, is it?”

"You really just think that way?" Zhong Qi frowned and looked at him.

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Zhang Yu said angrily.

"Okay, then let's work hard tomorrow." Zhong Qi smiled, patted Zhang Yu on the shoulder, and left with a smile.

"You, you, good you Zhong Qi." Zhang Yu suddenly realized that the love Zhong Qi was actually trying to trick him.This, is this still a well-known honest person in the whole teacher?

On the second day, the coalition forces were divided into four groups. Among them, there were [-] Hengshan troops at the north gate, supplemented by [-] Eternal Army cavalry. At the same time, all siege equipment such as catapults remained in the north.The remaining three sects are equipped with two thousand Hengshan troops and three thousand Eternal troops.

Facing the full-scale siege of the Hengshan Army, De'anke did not dare to be careless, and immediately stationed 1 troops at the north gate, and 5000 troops each for the other three gates.Another [-] cavalry were on standby in the city as reinforcements.

At the north gate at this time, Li Jin looked nervously at the city wall, and immediately ordered the catapults to suppress the defenders first.Then three thousand cavalry dismounted and fought on foot, pushing the baffle cart.Lifting the ladder and holding the shield, he pushed towards the city wall.

The rain of arrows was like a tide, constantly nailed to the fender and the shield, and if he was not careful, he would be shot in the body.Although the Hengshan Army has popularized the breastplate, it does not have much protection for the arms, legs and feet.Fortunately, as long as they didn't hit the vital point, some knife and arrow injuries would not kill a person. This depended on the Hengshan Army's established military medical system.

From time to time, some Hengshan soldiers were injured and fell to the ground, and then they were protected by their comrades and carried to the rear for treatment.

The siege team was still moving forward in an orderly manner. Without the defenders with stone catapults, they were no longer able to suppress the Hengshan Army. They could only rely on the archers to block the enemy without interruption. Unfortunately, the effect was not obvious.

When the Hengshan Army approached the city wall, the catapults behind them stopped bombarding immediately, and the soldiers below the city leaned their ladders against the city wall one after another.

At this time, the stones of the defenders finally had a place to use, and they slammed down the ladder and the enemy below the city.The soldiers of the Hengshan Army were smashed into confusion, and then were shot by a wave of arrows, causing heavy casualties.

At this time, the soldiers under the fender truck ignited the grenade and quickly threw it towards the city wall.

Then there was a loud bang, and the attack power of the defenders suddenly weakened.The other Hengshan soldiers immediately leaned the ladder against the city wall and quickly climbed up.

De'anke was stunned by the series of explosions. Looking at the mess in the city, he couldn't help being terrified, and immediately ordered the nearby soldiers and horses to fill the vacancy immediately.

The two armies soon began to engage in hand-to-hand combat. The Hengshan army who had climbed the city wall swooped down on the panicked defenders, killing all sides and buying time for the comrades behind.

More and more soldiers from Hengshan rushed to the city wall, formed small teams, cooperated with each other, and firmly nailed to the city wall.

De Anke did not expect that the battle would fall into a bitter fight not long after it started.The combat power of the enemy army is so terrifying, the cooperation of a few enemy troops can withstand opponents twice as many as them.Such an army, such a country, is it easy to provoke?Wukaner's involvement in the Eastern Expedition this time may be difficult.
