Chapter 152: Three-Edged Army Thorn
Lin Yi came prepared this time. In addition to the temporary siege equipment, he also brought a lot of siege equipment from the capital and craftsmen who could make and repair siege equipment.
Lin Yi knew that these thief soldiers were all relying on their bloody courage to fight, and they could not count on tactics or anything else.
What he is best at is fighting a battle with the wind, but once he encounters a tough tough problem, his morale will be immediately frustrated. As long as the enemy makes a concerted effort, the thief army will soon fall into collapse.
Lin Yi knew this very well, so he did not intend to use any feint attack and test tactics from the beginning. He ordered ten thousand soldiers to push forward the attack and attack with all their might, just to defeat the bandit army with one go.
At the same time, I also want to try whether this high-intensity attack will force the elite "Wei Army" soldiers that have not appeared so far to appear in advance.
Sure enough, under the fierce attack of the government army, the casualties of the bandits on the city quickly increased greatly. The morale, which was originally fooled by the tall beard, was declining almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The promise of the Wei special envoy to be king of Gao Huzi made Gao Huzi, who had already retreated, look like he was injected with chicken blood. Without further ado, he personally led his own troops to form a supervision team. As long as he dared to retreat, he would slash him with one knife.
Anyway, most of the thief soldiers under his command were from bandits or mud-legged, so he would not feel distressed even if he died.
When threatening with murder, Gao Huzi threw out a heart-warming reward pattern, one hand butcher's knife and the other hand, and grabbed both hands at the same time, finally allowing these thieves who had never fought a strong battle to survive the first day of the official army's attack.
When the night gradually came, the sound of gold roaring to withdraw the troops and return to the camp was heard from the official army. After the official army swarmed in like an ant under the city retreated like a tide, the thieves on the top of the city sat limply on the ground, leaning against the female wall on the top of the city, breathing heavily, each with exhausted expressions and limp as mud.
Although Gao Bei was hiding behind to supervise the battle in this battle, he watched the Qin official soldiers climb up to the city and fight desperately. Many people even had to carry a thief soldier down the city before they died.
Even though the tall beard killed people like a numb, the official army's crazy and cruelty made him frightened, and he thought that the imperial guards of the court were indeed powerful, and they were much more fierce than the soldiers of the county he had dealt with before.
After a wrong statistics, in this battle, the number of people killed in the official army was about 2,000, while the defenders on the city were more than 3,000, and more than 2,000 injured.
This made Gao Huzi a little scared and gained a new understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Qin army.
He died more than the other party by relying on the tall and strong city walls. Looking at the numb and limp on the ground in front of him, Gao Beizi was very confident about whether he could still defend the city tomorrow.
But if he knew that the siege of the city today were just auxiliary soldiers collected by the local government, and the real elite Qin army's imperial guards had not yet entered the battle, the tall bearded man would probably have a vigorous idea of leaving the city and escaping that night.
Stepping on the messy bloody flesh under his feet, Gao Beizi reluctantly comforted his subordinates, and said something like that after he was repelled the official army, he went to find the special envoy of Wei in a hurry.
"Sir, you have also seen this scene today. This official army is really fierce. If we come again tomorrow, the city will probably not be able to defend it."
The tall beard complained as soon as they met.
The special envoy of Wei despised him. You can't stand the intensity of the siege. After all, it was a mob composed of a group of bandits and bandits, which was vulnerable.
However, Gao Huzi still needs to continue to attract the attention of the Qin army, so he could only comfort him with kind words: "General Gao Da, don't panic. The Qin army seems fierce today, but in fact there are definitely many casualties. They are like this today, just want to break through the city in one go, wouldn't they hear the truth that one go, and then they will lose all their strength. If they hold on for another day tomorrow, they will not be able to attack. Then it will be time for us to counterattack."
Gao Huzi had never read a book and didn't know the allusion of "Cao Gui's debate", but he could still understand the general meaning. He mumbled when he heard this, and looked extremely reluctant on his face.
The special envoy of Wei State knew about this guy's fault and snorted coldly, but said with a smile: "It's enough to hold on for another day tomorrow. After the matter is completed, I will report to my Majesty of the Great Wei Dynasty, not only will he be awarded the title of General Gao, but he will also reward the beauties of gold and silver to repay the general's achievements today."
Seeing Gao Huzi's movements, the special envoy of Wei leaned forward and whispered: "I know that the general feels sorry for his subordinates. When the Qin army attacks the city tomorrow, those who are not usually sent to the dispatch will be in front. General, you will lead people to supervise the battle behind. After this battle, no one of his subordinates dares not to obey your orders."
The people under Gaobeizi have a complex source, and they are the thieves and bandits from various hills gather together.
Among them, several of the leaders of the Dashan Village that he forcibly merged by him were a little dissatisfied with Gao Huzi, and they often contradicted him. Gao Huzi had long wanted to kill these people.
Hearing the Wei envoy said this, Gao Huzi thought about it, nodded heavily, patted his chest and said that he would hold on for another day tomorrow.
However, in the end, he still reminded him to let the elite "Wei Army" hidden in the dark appear earlier and not to really consume his people.
The special envoy of Wei State agreed repeatedly, but this was sincere.
Although Gao Beizi and others are mobs, those who survived this battle are considered veterans who have experienced the baptism of war, and they are still useful in the future.
Although the special envoy of Wei State said that cooperation was being done, he was naturally not without warning in his heart.
After all, the two countries are old enemies. Although he does not doubt the identity of each other, he doubts the motive for dealing with them.
But there are common enemies on both sides in front of you, so you might as well cooperate.
According to his idea, as long as the Qin army was defeated this time, he would immediately pass the news back and spread the news of Zhao's participation.
At that time, the Qin army would be in a panic when they knew they were attacked from both sides, and the Wei army would have a chance.
As for the Zhao army, they can help them to restrain some of the Qin army in the Great Wei Kingdom.
By the end of the war between Qin and Zhao, the Wei army would have already broken through the two passes and the troops were coming to Chang'an City.
If you have a faster speed, maybe the Chang'an City will be destroyed.
After making up his mind, the special envoy of Wei State took a few more people to a village near the South City Gate to find the leader of the "Zhao Army" this time.
Tan Lun sent 6,000 Musketeers of the Imperial Legion into Yan'an City as an ambush, and the leader of the Musketeer Division was naturally Zhang Tonghe.
After this expansion of the army, Li Xu almost exhausted his savings and tried his best to append armor to all the soldiers.
Of course, in addition to the heavy armored infantry battalion equipped with iron armor covered with a layer of cotton armor, the light cavalry also equipped with half-body fish scale armor that is more suitable for fighting immediately.
The rest of the infantry were equipped with leather and cotton armor.
In particular, the musketeers all equipped with three layers of cotton armor. This cotton armor is comfortable to wear and can effectively reduce the damage of muskets and even arrows.
In addition to armor, the musket is also equipped with triangular thorns with blood grooves.
The man with a bayonet equipped with a bayonet is even more than one meter eight in height. He can not only fire from a long distance, but also rush to the bayonet during close combat.
The triangular spines can be removed, and can also be used as a dagger if necessary.
In short, in addition to the expansion of the army several times, the army's armor and equipment have also reached a big step forward.
