Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 457
Chapter 461

However, if the situation hadn't deteriorated, all the prefectures and counties of Ran Min's Wei State had surrendered to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and there was only one city of Ye left with less than [-] soldiers, and Murong Jun would never dare to go south.

Han Heng didn't know what Murong Ye was thinking, so he patiently persuaded him: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have my own strategy to defeat the enemy!"

"Han Qing, quickly send someone to ask the Regent for help!" Murong Ye nervously grabbed Han Heng's sleeve and roared, "Retreat the enemy, how do you repel the enemy? There are only five thousand old, weak, sick and disabled in Dragon City, what do you use to repel the enemy? You must have never seen Wei Jun, Han Qing, you don’t know, Wei Jun is like a tiger, a horse like a dragon, he goes up the mountain like an ape, enters the water like a dragon, his momentum is like Mount Tai, and the Yan army fights with him like an egg."

When Han Heng heard this, he felt so angry, do you have such a dignified king of a country?Aren't you raising the ambition of others and destroying your prestige? Even though this is true, you can't say it out, especially the last sentence, it's like slapping Yan Guo in the face!

When Han Heng heard this, he felt so angry, do you have such a dignified king of a country?Aren't you raising the ambition of others and destroying your prestige? Even though this is true, you can't say it out, especially the last sentence, it's like slapping Yan Guo in the face!

In fact, the combat effectiveness of the Yan army is not bad.Yan Guoping, Goguryeo, Mie Fuyu, and even the Zhao Jie army who faced the latter were also indifferent.But facing Wei Jun, he lost one by one.Murong Ke led an army of 14, and Murong Jun led an army of 20 to support them.But the record is definitely not as glamorous as it is written in the history books.

First of all, there is no record of Murong Ke's loss in the history books, but it is a historical fact that Murong Ke's confidant, Gao Kai, was wounded by the Wei army and died of serious injuries.Similarly, after defeating Ran Min in April, until Yecheng was captured four months later, Murong Ke did not appear in the Yan army camp, nor did Murong Ke's troops enter the field?Another point is that Yan State destroyed Ran Wei in August [-] AD, but did not occupy the entire territory of Jiyan and Qingluo until [-] AD.During the four years in between, what was Yan Guo doing?Could it be that such a famous general as the Murong family doesn't know the importance of speed and the prestige of victory?

Therefore, history is a fairy tale, and its right to speak is always in the hands of those who write history.

"Your Majesty, more than [-] troops from the Wei army have surrounded Longcheng, and they have launched an attack on the city!" A general of the Yan army reported to Murong Ye anxiously.

When Murong Ye heard the news, he was scared out of his wits. He didn't have the courage to blame the general. He looked dejected, sighed full of fear, and waved his hands: "You guys go down first."

Looking at Murong Ye's appearance, Han Heng secretly shook his head.He quickly left the palace and came to the city to deploy defenses.

After the Jiaodong Army Headquarters rested for two hours, Jing Zhan led the 2 troops who followed the team and arrived at the foot of Longcheng City without any accidents.Even Jing Zhan was a little surprised. The Daling River was not tightly sealed by ice. In order to allow the Jiaodong Army to cross the river, the Wei Army cut wood to build a pontoon bridge, which was delayed for more than two hours. It gets dark quickly in winter, and now it is time to hold the lights. , Jing Zhan arrived at the Dragon City.

Jing Zhan's eyes flickered, staring at the figures on the city wall flirting with Yan Jun, Jing Zhan showed a happy smile.

There are various indications that the general guard of the Yan army is definitely a mediocrity.Attacking halfway, although it cannot repel the Wei army, at least it can cause a lot of trouble for the Wei army.Even if you don't go out of the city to attack the city, you can go out of the city to attack and harass. You only need a few hundred archers, each carrying a sulfur rocket, to prevent the Jiaodong Army from crossing the river today.

However, Yan Jun did nothing and missed the favorable opportunity in vain.

Jing Zhan saw that the city gates were closed tightly, and had no choice but to camp, and to fight again the next day, he ordered in sign language: "Where is the division army tiger?"

Lieutenant General Liu Jian on the side gave orders instead of Jing Zhan.

Shi Junhu was one of Ran Ming's one hundred disciples. Later, when Ran Ming formed the Seventh Army of the Northern Mansion, Shi Junhu was transferred to the Tianshu Army to lead the army.The division army tiger immediately came out and said: "The last general is here!"

Jing Zhan issued another order, "Order Erbu to launch a tentative attack, be sure to test the reality of the Yan army!"

"As ordered!"

Shi Junhu was also unambiguous.After all, he also learned a lot from Ran Ming.Before returning to the Tianshu Army, the division army tiger pulled out his horizontal knife and shouted to the sky: "Soldiers, make contributions, tonight!"

The full strength of the Tianshu Army is 2000, divided into four divisions. As Ran Ming's direct lineage, the equipment must be the best.The Seventh Army of the Beifu is equipped with horizontal knives, horse crossbows, iron armor, and folding shields as standard equipment, unlike other armies that are divided into crossbowmen, sword and shield soldiers, and spearmen according to different equipment.

The division army tiger quickly ordered the troops to divide into two parts, one part to cover and the other part to attack.A thousand horse crossbows aimed at the city wall and fired suppressively.The range of the horse crossbow is not only long, but also the speed of fire is fast enough. Due to the way of winding with a lever, there will be no phenomenon that people cannot be wound due to physical strength.

The only disadvantage of the horse crossbow is that the arrows are consumed too quickly, and it is too difficult to supply the supplies for this modern supply method.Fortunately, Jingzhan's headquarters entered Liaodong by sea, so it is relatively convenient to replenish.Even so, the Jiaodong soldiers had only six pots of arrows, less than a hundred.Now after consumption, because the time is too tight to retrieve the fired crossbow arrows, on average, each Jiaodong soldier has less than five pots of arrows in his hands.

Arrows rained down on the city wall like a storm, and the Yan army on the city wall did not dare to get up. They could only hide behind the parapet like a turtle.

Since it was a tentative attack, Shi Junhu didn't care too much. While ordering the soldiers to suppress the city wall, he ordered the soldiers to carry simple ladders to attack the city.

Soon the ladder was placed on the city wall, and the Tianshu soldiers, with their horizontal knives in their teeth, grabbed the ladder with both hands, and quickly climbed up.

The guards of the Yan army wanted to stand up and use push rods to push down the ladder, but as soon as they stood up, they were shot into hedgehogs by the crossbowmen of the Tianshu army who were in charge of suppressing the city wall.

In the meantime, naturally, the ladders of the Tianshu Army were hit by rocks and rolling logs, and the soldiers on the ladders fell down the ladders with screams, and there was no more sound.

Siege warfare is a very tragic war of attrition, fighting for morale, means, and equipment.

Just after the Tianshu Army completed four rounds of shooting, finally the No. 1 Tianshu Army soldier climbed onto the upper city wall.But the pioneer of the Tianshu army hadn't had time to cheer, he was like a wave, submerged in the formation of the Yan army in blue uniform.

With the first climbers of the Shu army on the first day, there will be the second one. More and more soldiers of the Tianshu army climbed to the upper city wall. Knife, and sharp.The soldiers of the Tianshu army rushed towards the Yan army shouting the slogan "Great Wei Wansheng".

The attack of the Tianshu army is very characteristic. Unless there is only one person left, they will not fight alone.Often there are three people, maybe five people together, back to back, forming a small triangular formation.Two attacks and one defense, the triangular formation turned like a top, and the soldiers of the Yan army whose blades were held by horizontal knives were slashed by two horizontal knives at the same time.Triangular array or one attack and two defenses.One special picks up three attacks, which makes the Yan army howl with ghosts and wolves.

"Great Wei Wansheng!" There was another stern roar from the Tianshu army. Arrows rained down from the top of the city, and some people who approached the city wall were just as soon as they climbed the ladder, and they were smashed to pieces by stones.Once, twice, three times... Those Tianshu soldiers continued to attack without even looking at the dead robe.

Han Heng's expression on the top of the city was serious. The 2000 Wei army only invested [-] troops to attack, and Dragon City was under tremendous pressure.He could see that Wei Jun hadn't done his best yet, but he had already done his best.The equipment of the Wei army is very good, especially the small shield on the left arm of the soldiers of the Wei army. Whether it is stabbed with a sword or cut with a knife, this small shield can always save the soldiers of the Wei army from danger.

In just two quarters of an hour, the Yan army suffered 600 casualties, while the attacking Wei army only suffered 400 casualties.It is normal for the casualty ratio of the offensive and defensive sides to be [-] to [-], or even [-] to [-].However, the Wei army can use a slight advantage in the attack. It can be seen how terrifying the Wei army should be in the field!
The corpses all over the city and the blood on the city wall also flowed down the city along the cracks in the stones, and the blood gradually seemed to dye the city wall red in Dragon City.

Han Heng sighed secretly, Wei Jun can only outwit and invincible!
In an instant, Han Heng thought of a way.

At the same time, Jing Zhan, who was watching the battle in the city, was also a little uneasy. He didn't know that there was always an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, as if something big was about to happen.Although the Tianshu army had a slight upper hand, Jing Zhan was not satisfied. He didn't want this kind of battle where he would hurt one thousand enemies and himself eight hundred.

Just when he was about to order to retreat, he suddenly saw the cheers of Wei Jun.

It turned out that the Yan army could no longer resist, and the Tianshu army had already occupied the city wall a hundred steps wide. The ladders at other positions quickly moved from other positions, and at this time they rushed up the city wall quickly.

A military officer of the Tianshu Army had already driven the guarding Yan soldiers down the stairs.

The Marquis shouted: "If you take down the city gate, our department will be the first to do it!"

The morale of hundreds of Tianshu soldiers was greatly boosted, and one Tianshu soldier cut down the dragon flag of the Yan army, put the dragon flag on a torch and lit it.

Seeing that the tentative attack was successful, Jing Zhan didn't hesitate, and quickly ordered all the ministries to rush to help, trying to break through Dragon City today.

Shi Junhu saw that the Yan army on the city wall had retreated, and there was nothing else to worry about, so he rushed to the gate tower quickly with a thousand soldiers who were responsible for suppressing the city wall.

When Shi Junhu entered the front of the city gate, the city gate opened wide, and Shi Junhu took the lead and charged into Dragon City first.However, after entering the gate of Longcheng, Shi Junhu discovered that something was wrong.Behind the gate of Longcheng, there is actually an urn city that is about [-] meters long.

Wengcheng is a kind of defensive facility in ancient towns.A small city was built outside the city gate. From the outside, the wall height of the small city was the same as that of the big city.Its shape is divided into square and round.Among them, the square is called Fangcheng; the circle is called Wengcheng.

The source of catching turtles in the urn is this, as long as they enter the urn, there is no possibility of escaping.
