Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 1048 Undead Xiaoqiang
Chapter 1057 Undying Xiaoqiang

This is no longer a war, but a one-sided massacre.At this time, as long as Kangju cannon fodder sees the banner of Wei State, they have the urge to turn around and run away. No matter how the Heda people drive them away, they would rather die under the arrows of the Heda people than face the demons of Wei State face to face.

Until Gesuyeddin angrily slaughtered more than 2000 Kangju people, but no one dared to fight anymore, he had no choice but to cancel the siege plan.

"The Heda people have done a good deed!" Liu Ke smiled excitedly: "From then on, at least two or three generations of Kangju people have never had the courage to fight against our Great Wei. Courage has been knocked out!"

When Chen Ben heard this, he was obviously relieved.In order to cope with the fierce battles that will happen in the future, Liu Ke has been sparing the use of the Anxi Army's few crossbows. Although there are at least a million crossbows in Stone City, these crossbows are evenly distributed to each soldier, but only Barely three pots.Unlike the timid Kangju people, the Heda people are the wolves of this land, a group of organized wolves, so Liu Ke dare not be careless.He wants to use all the good steel on the blade.

"It's still not enough!" Chen Ben said: "Although they have fought so many battles, the Heda people have been recharging their energy all the time. Once they participate in the attack, they are definitely different from these cannon fodder. An idea can solve our problem of insufficient military resources.”

"Ah!" Liu Ke heard this, as if he had been a soldier for three years and suddenly saw a superb beauty, with green light in his eyes, he said, "What can I do?"

Chen Ben said: "We still have an equipment battalion in Stone City. Although it is impossible to manufacture weapons on a large scale, it should not be difficult to manufacture crossbows in this way. Nowadays, these cannon fodder troops have too few people who can attack the city wall. There is also very little steel. Why don't we put the Heda people into the city, and then..."

Liu Ke was dumbfounded when he heard it, and only then did he know that Chen Ben had such thoughts.Liu Ke said with a smile: "General Chen, I have to say that your idea is too bold, but the feasibility is too low!"

However, at this moment, Ma Yi, major general of the [-]th Division, and several other senior generals of the Anxi Army nodded in unison and said, "Good attention, good attention!"

Ma Yi said solemnly: "Let's pretend to be defeated and retreat on the city wall, let the Heda people occupy a section of the city wall, and then when they rush into the city, we will crush them with cavalry."

Ant-attached siege has very big limitations. Very large and long weapons like that are easy to carry, so the general ant-attached siege vanguard troops are generally swords and shields and light infantry.Such infantry has no way to restrain cavalry.No matter how strong Xida is, they are only strong in riding and shooting, and they are still far behind in foot combat.

With the joining of all the staff, this seemingly fantasy strategy began to be gradually perfected on paper.But in Liu Ke's view, this is also a tightrope walk on a cliff, and if you are not careful, you will fall to pieces.

Chen Ben was full of optimism: "The patience of the people in this battle has already been exhausted. Even if they don't fall for it, we will not lose anything. Even if they break into the city, we temporarily built more than 100 plug-in vehicles." The door knife car can also delay the attack of the Heda people very well. Even if the situation is dangerous, but we who are good at street fighting, the situation is still much better than if we just passively defend on the city wall."

The specific commander of this plan is Chen Ben. The 18th Infantry Regiment, which suffered heavy losses from the 19th Division, was used as the basis to lure the enemy to go deep. The team is the main blocking force.Major General Guo Shiyan of the No.[-] Division rode the left wing, and Ma Yi, the commander of the No.[-] Division, led the [-]th Division Guard Division, supplemented by [-] cavalry from the Central Asia Development Company as the right wing.Responsible for annihilating the enemy in the middle.

Sure enough, the Heda people did not disappoint Chen Ben. When he saw that Kangju's cannon fodder was unusable, Gai Suyedin, a veteran on the battlefield, had already given up his plan to use cannon fodder to consume Anxi's army.In fact, these cannon fodder can consume very little of the Wei army. With the continuous success of the battle, the recruits formed by the Central Asia Development Company caravan are also high in morale and in excellent mental state. Under the training of Liu Ke, the third disciple of Ran Ming, the members of this caravan The formation of the fake Anxi army's combined attack technique has become more and more refined.

Gaisuyeddin chose a small hill in the northwest of Stone City, and Gaisuyeddin rushed to this unnamed small hill.Immediately realizing that the guards at the top of the city had a panoramic view of the defense situation, he laughed: "Haha, Wei Guoan's Western Army is only mediocre, and he doesn't send troops to guard such a good place. Small.

Gurgan smiled slightly and said: "That's not the case. Although the slope is high enough, it is not steep enough. If you send troops to guard it, it will be a taboo to divide the troops if there are too many people. If there are few people, you will not be able to defend it."

Gesuyeddin said: "I think this place is a very good breakthrough!"

"What does the general mean?"

Gaisuyeddin said: "From tomorrow onwards, those Kangju slaves will transport sand and rocks and pile up soil to form mountains. As long as we build a mountain road, we will really hit the city!"

This hill has an inverted "L" shape, and it is about four or five hundred steps away from the city wall. If the Heda people have eight oxen crossbows or trebuchets, they can use this hill to bombard the city directly, but it is a pity, the Heda people They are not good at making tools, but the Heda people are not as enlightened as the Mongols, and they are not interested in new things.Gaisuyeddin was a man of swift action, and he immediately gave the order.

Although the Kangju people dared not attack anymore, they were still willing to let them move the pile of rocks four or five hundred steps outside the city.Forty to fifty thousand Kangju people worked together to increase the height of the earth mountain by half in one day, and almost double the height in the next day.Seeing this scene, the Wei Guoan Xijun didn't realize the crisis, but laughed out loud.

However, soon the generals of the Anxi Army could no longer laugh. I saw that Gaisuyeddin organized tens of thousands of Kangju slaves, with a team of hundreds of people, carrying a huge bumper, and slammed into the newly heightened building. dirt hill.Those mounds of earth were piled too high and not tamped down. The foundations were inherently unstable. When they were hit by a log, they collapsed one by one, rolling forward twenty or thirty feet in a flash.Seeing this effect, Gaisuyeddin was very satisfied, so these Kangju people soon became intoxicated in this kind of frank pile-up and bump-to-mountain activities.A flat avenue about ten feet wide rolled towards the city wall at a speed of nearly a hundred steps per day.

Because the distance was too far, and the Anxi Army's eight-ox crossbow guns did not prepare giant crossbow guns, they could only watch helplessly as the Heda people repaired the road to the city wall to keep up.

"Success does not happen by accident!" Liu Ke saw this scene and said: "Since the founding of the country, the Heda people have conquered countless cities. Sure enough, there is a way to attack the city. If we hadn't been prepared, I am afraid that we will suffer a big loss. Although Heda Although this method of the people seems cumbersome, their momentum is astonishing. I am afraid that no one can at least hold the city with this method of siege."

"You see, the Heda people are very familiar with doing this kind of thing. Obviously they have done this kind of thing a lot!" Chen Ben said: "These barbarians have become smart. It is not impossible to attack a city with piles of rocks, but we Han people But I didn't think about this trick, and using this trick will make us Han people inferior!"

The Han people’s method of attacking a city by building a mountain of stones usually starts from the root of the city wall. This slope will gradually decrease as it moves away from the city.In addition, at the beginning, they will face the crossbow attack of the defenders, and the morale of the civilians will be fatally hit.But the Heda people are not. Although they cultivate from far to near, the more they cultivate, the greater the blow to the defenders, and they can also use their own crossbowmen to suppress the defenders on the city wall.

It's not that Wei Jun has no way to do this, it's just that Liu Ke has too few long-range equipment. If he has enough eight-ox crossbows and rockets in his hands, it goes without saying that Gesuyedin's strategy is absolutely impossible to succeed.But since Liu Ke didn't have these equipments, he was helpless.

"According to the calculation of the staff department, these Heda people can enter the city on horseback in half a month at most!" A staff officer said, "I wonder if General Liu has a clever plan to retreat from the enemy?"

Liu Ke shook his head blankly.At this moment, Jersey's troops launched an attack.However, before the attack, Jeersey's troops threw a sentence to Gesuyeddin: "You can't do it, let me come!"

Jesse was very ruthless, and all the elite troops he sent were his elite descendants. The elite troops of more than 1 people sang songs, raised their shields and charged towards the city wall. There were those who were crushed half of their bodies by the beating stone and were still breathing, but they were still crawling and rolling forward with their last strength!It seems that the place where the arrows and stones are thrown is not hell, but heaven!

Liu Ke couldn't help feeling sick when he saw it from the top of the city.He is like this, let alone ordinary soldiers!The defenders at the head of the city were very sure about defending the stone city.At this time, they all became scared, and many people even wanted to run away and were unwilling to face such an enemy!
The general is not afraid of death, so why should a scholar be afraid of it.There is a saying that if one fights desperately, ten people cannot stand in the way.If thousands of people are desperate, the momentum will be extremely frightening.

Although the siege equipment of Jeersey's troops is very simple and crude, the death aura displayed by them overwhelms all of them!Due to the lack of long-range suppression weapons in the Wei army, these 1 people rushed to the city in a blink of an eye and set up a ladder.Climbing up forgetting their lives, fire balls, boiling water, crossbows, and falling rocks fell one after another from the top of the city. When they attacked, the elite were burned, scalded, shot, and crushed to death in an instant, and the corpses fell one by one. Later, I didn't know what death was, and continued to move forward, upward, and climb fearlessly!
Naturally, Jeersey is not fearless and fearless. In fact, as one of the few people in the Heda Empire who is famous for his brains, he actually did this to cover Suyeddin's army.E Nagu wanted to use the sword of Anxi Army to weaken Gaisuyedin.As a grumpy general, Gaisuyeddin couldn't bear the stimulation of others. Under the stimulation of Jersey, Gaisuyeddin immediately sent his henchmen to attack.

The two wars of the Heda Empire will join forces to attack, and the situation of the Anxi Army suddenly turned into a sudden turn for the worse.

Liu Ke realized that he was wrong at this time, he underestimated these people too much
The news received from various directions and channels made Fu Jian more and more uneasy. It was definitely not Fu Jian's character to wait to die, but Fu Jian also knew very well that his strength made it impossible for him to defeat Wei.Although the land on the plateau is vast, there is too little fertile land, and the plateau is covered by ice and snow for a long time, and the output of the plateau is very limited.So Fu Jian had no way to support a huge army.

At present, Di Qin's army directly under Fu Jian has more than [-] troops, but there are barely more than [-] of them who can be called elites.The huge gap in strength cannot be made up by relying on tactics.Even if the plateau can rely on the advantages of terrain and people's hearts to concentrate superior forces to wipe out a part of Wei's army, it will not be of any benefit to the overall battle situation.

According to the collected information, Fu Jian learned that Wei Guo dispatched the third of the seven generals, Xu Yuan, Xie Ai, and Zhang Ai.Mobilize the Anbei Army, Zhenxi Army and Jiangnan Army with a total of more than [-] soldiers and horses.This news not only made Fu Jian feel uneasy, but even Di Qin's core ministers were also terrified.

Di Qin has been going downhill, so there are no talents around Fu Jian at this time.At that time, Diqin Zuo Pu She Li Wei (Di clan, son of the aunt of Queen Mother Gou, cousin of Fu Jian) ​​and You Pu She Quan Yi were also in chaos.At this time, Quan Yi regretted it very much. He was originally from a wealthy family in Lueyang. If he hadn't stepped into Fu Jian's chariot, he should be able to follow Ran Ming's promotion and make a fortune at this time, like all his relatives.But some roads are destined to have no way to turn back. Even if he wants to surrender to Wei, he probably has no way or channel.

One day, Quan Yi was having dinner with his four sons, when suddenly his servants reported that Fu Jian had come.Quan Yi was shocked, and hurriedly led the whole family out to meet Fu Jian.

After seeing the ceremony, Quan Yi wondered: "Your Majesty, if you need to find a minister, you can just send someone to inform you, why do you need to come?"

Fu Jian said resentfully: "The lonely king was very bored in his heart, and wanted to talk to someone, so he walked to the servant She's mansion before he knew it!"

"Your Majesty, you must pay attention to your body!" Quan Yi said: "It's only been two days since I saw you, your complexion is much worse, don't use your mind too much!"

"The state affairs are like this, even if the lonely king doesn't worry, he won't succeed!" Fu Jian was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Quan Yi and said, "Quan Qing, what should the lonely king do? You should think of a way, Wei Guo The army will be approaching the city in a few days, you have to think of a way, quickly think of a way?"

"Your Majesty...the minister...the minister can't help it!" Quan Yi said: "We have already withdrawn from the Central Plains and came to this barren land where we are lingering. Why do they want to kill them all and leave us no way to survive? , this...how could this be...how could this be!"

"You! Alas!" Fu Jian sighed and turned to go out, Quan Yi hurriedly said: "My lord, where are you going?"

Fu Jian didn't look back, just said: "I'll go to Zuo Pu to discuss with them!" Then he took his personal guards and retinues and waited away.

After Fu Jian left, Quan Yi also became depressed.In recent years, the army of the Wei State has attacked everywhere, chasing the Northern Han Kingdom in the north, conquering the Indochina Peninsula in the south, and conquering the Western Regions in the west.The fighting power of the Di people and the Qiang people was not weak at first, but with the rise of the hearts and minds of the Wei State army, the Di Qin army was now struggling to fight against the Wei State soldiers, not to mention the regular army of the Wei State.

Quan Yi's mind was completely in chaos.His resourcefulness may be deeper than Fu Jian's, but his status determines that he is affected by this matter a hundred times more than Fu Jian.As the leader of the Di tribe, the Central Plains Dynasty has always kept this Yi chieftain in captivity and will not kill him easily.But for people like myself, they have always been driven to death.Thinking that he would be killed, Quan Yi was even more at a loss. "What can I do? What should I do?"

Right after Fu Jian left Quan Mansion, Quan Yi locked himself in the study without seeing anyone.However, half an hour later, a man in a black scarf led down to Quan Yi's study led by the steward of Quan Mansion.The man in the black scarf didn't take off the scarf until he came to Quan Yi.Under the turban is a very rough face, just like the Tibetans on the plateau, with the plateau red unique to the plateau.

The man looked at Quan Yi with a look of disdain on his face. He looked at Quan Yi's expression, obviously he was looking at a decayed bone.Quan Yi sized this person up for a long time, and said, "Who are you?"

"I'm the one who can save your life!" Upon hearing this, Quan Yi immediately angrily pulled him out and chopped him up to feed the dog.That person was not surprised, nor did he resist, but let the steward drag him out.

"Slow!" Quan Yi said, "Who are you?"

"Great Wei Royal Special Guard Liu Zhao!"

"How could you come here?" Quan Yi asked in surprise.As Diqin Youpushe, Quan Yi can naturally get access to some core secrets at his level.An organization like the Royal Guard is very mysterious in the hearts of ordinary people, but it is not so mysterious in the eyes of people of a certain level.Quan Yi naturally knew that Liu Zhao was joining the army as a member of the Royal Secret Guard at this time, and he was also the number three member of the Royal Secret Guard.If this person is not a fake, it is obvious that he has an ulterior secret.

"Of course it's to save your life!" Liu Zhao continued: "My Great Wei is determined to win the plateau this time, even if Fu Jian wanted to resist, he would be like an ant shaking a tree! Zhao came here this time to persuade Mr. Quan to turn back in time. Help the evildoers!"

"Even if you turn back? Why turn back?" Quan Yi sneered, Quan Yi knew very well about Wei Guo's policies and Ran Ming's behavior. People like him had already been branded a "traitor" in Ran Ming's heart. Wei Guo will not tolerate it.

"You're a smart person, so you should know!" Liu Zhaodao: "Even if Fu Jian's troops are brave and good at fighting, they will still be fighting against the whole of Wei with just one."

"That's right, it's a matter of being loyal to the king! Even if the king inevitably fails in the end, I would rather die with him!" Quan Yi said lightly: "What's more, governing the country with justice and using troops with wonder, my king is a genius, He has won the essence of the art of war, and in addition to the danger of the plateau in the Qin State, the people's hearts are in harmony, and if the battle is not over in a day, it is uncertain who will win the battle."

"Yes, Fu Jian can be regarded as a good enemy, but his chances of winning are still slim." Liu Zhaodao: "However, this battle together will be a disaster for Great Wei. I don't know how many good men there are. You lost your life on the plateau. Don’t you have any sense of right and wrong? Can’t bear to see my life in Huaxia be ruined, and the old things in China repeat themselves? If you want to be buried with Diqin, you can hand me over to show your innocence, or you can kill me at any time , but the Lueyang Quan family will be buried with Liu!"

How could Quan Yi be buried with Fu Jian? He is so powerful, but he has always been gambling heavily.But Fu Jian's luck was too bad, the cards in his hand were too low, there was no possibility of winning at all.Quan Yi said that, in fact, he just wanted to establish the image of a loyal minister in front of Liu Zhao.However, Quan Yi also weighs the importance, he knows that everything is too late, once the conversation with Liu Zhao collapses, it will be his own way out.So Quan Yi pretended to be contemplative, with a hint of shame in his eyes.If Quan Yi is allowed to enter the show business circle of later generations, it would be strange if he didn't win an Oscar statuette if he played a man who has lost his way to the fullest.

"As for Fu Jian, in fact, I have been explicitly or covertly persuading him to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, but he has always refused to give me a satisfactory answer!" Quan Yi said: "I don't know what Liu Canjun wants Quan to do for me?"
