Section 154 Fight again (3)
Jiang Feng restrained his breath, and the generals beside him were the same.
Speaking of which, he is a master of the small heaven, but his strength is still slightly different among all of them.
In addition to Jiang Feng barely entering the middle stage of Rundan, Qin Han's strength only touched the threshold of Rundan's midst stage, and had not even entered. Hong Kui was considered a relatively stable early stage of Rundan, while Lang Kun just entered the early stage of Rundan, even worse than Yang Kan, and his foundation was not yet stable.
If you can restrain your energy and avoid being released from the outside, you will at least need to run the elixir in the later stage. At least these few people can't do it, so you have to deliberately lock your breath to avoid being noticed by others.
The Daxia Dragon Bird Knife hasn't licked human blood for a long time. Maybe I'm going to taste it today. Jiang Feng and others were hiding behind the big shield without exception, observing the fierce battle at the top of the city.
"Boom!" A stone bullet hit the big shield next to it. The shield car shaking, but it still persisted.
Jiang Feng glanced at the row of shield cars. The front cars were still moving forward unswervingly, covering up group of soldiers to avoid attacks from crossbowmen and catapults on the city wall. This attack method seems to be a little slower on the surface, but it is a bit like a hundred steps away from the city wall, so the soldiers will throw away the shield cars and launch a charge.
More shield cars continued to advance under the city walls, forming covers according to their respective placeholdings, providing short-term cover opportunities for soldiers waiting to launch an attack.
After several days of offensive and defensive battles, whether it is the East Gate, the South Gate, or the North Gate, outside Qingzhou City has actually become a flat battlefield suitable for large-scale wars. The distance between eighty steps and one hundred steps has become the node for the soldiers to launch a charge.
In order to prevent the attack of stone throwing chariots and crossbows, shield chariots often line up in horizontal rows to cover the siege equipment and soldiers behind them to advance to this section, and then the equipment begins to advance rapidly.
Of course, the soldiers will also start charging from this distance after the equipment arrives.
The shield cart will continue to advance, and they will build covers between twenty to thirty steps under the city wall.
The soldiers who charge forward to this distance will use these covers to wait for opportunities. After all, the number of siege vehicles, hook trucks and ladder trucks that are rushing under the city walls is difficult to satisfy the soldiers who are rushing forward at once. They need to launch an attack in the prescribed order.
This has become a basic subject for the Huai Youjun during the siege training.
Although the Wuning Right Army has been conducting this kind of training time, it still has a basic training period of one or two months, and this kind of training is more reflected in the compliance with discipline and the execution of orders. At this point, both the Taining Army and the veterans of the Influence Army still have some foundation.
This improvement in siege efficiency is subtle and most people may not be able to detect it, but when it is really in war, the Gongcao people can find that the war loss ratio of the siege soldiers will decrease significantly, which is extremely precious to these veterans of the Huai You Army.
Every group of old soldiers who can be preserved in fierce battles and bloody battles is wealth, and cannot be compensated by simple training. After experiencing such wars for two or three times, the world is so great that it can go anywhere.
After a few days, both sides, who were still unfamiliar at the time, began to enter the state. Not only did the offense and defense speed greatly accelerate, but targeted means and measures were also emerging one after another.
Although the Huai Youjun once had the upper hand in new equipment and new tactics, causing great losses and passivity to the Pinglu army, the Pinglu army after all, the Pinglu army has the advantage of defending the city, and the losses can be compensated by using a large amount of civilians and emergency allocation of materials.
Like the crossbows and stone throwing cars on the city walls, countless crossbows and stone throwing cars were broken, but after being carried down, they could be repaired with the efforts of the whole city's people and could still be restored quickly.
Similarly, many elite soldiers died in battle, but they were filled with a large number of garrison troops and private soldiers of gentry. Even those who were inexperienced garrison troops and private troops could survive after two days of bloody battles, they could quickly transform into a qualified soldier. This kind of blood and fire training is excellent for the growth of soldiers and has also become the confidence that Pinglu Army is proud of.
Even if Jiang Feng had confidence, he had to admit that Wang Shouzhong had done quite successfully in firmly grasping the hearts of these gentry and people in Qingzhou City.
Huaiyou had underestimated this point before, thinking that under heavy pressure, the situation might have changed drastically, and there might be some slander. If Wang Shouzhong forced the gentry too much, would there be a rebellion? But now it seems that Wang Shouzhong has done a good job in this regard or is well prepared.
From the changes in the battle situation and the information sent back, it can be seen that there are constant recruits coming in on the city wall every day. In addition to the strong combat effectiveness of the Qingzhou garrison, it is obvious that all the gentry, family and private troops in Qingzhou City have been mobilized, which is not easy.
However, all this will eventually come to an end today. Jiang Feng doesn't have so much time to accompany Wang Shouzhong to waste. Today, he must break the city and take down Wang Shouzhong. He also made full preparations for this.
The first round of attacks did not achieve much effect.
The Third Army of Pingluya Army, which guarded the north gate, was not a weak person. They had also made various responses before, and the number of war sheds increased greatly and were reinforced, which reduced the killing effect of catapults and heavy crossbows on the Huaiyou Army.
At the same time, the defenders also consciously strengthened the use of powerful crossbows. Almost every thirty meters, a small group of powerful crossbow soldiers were ambushed, which was very dense.
Once there is a breakthrough, there will be concentrated shooting, which has caused great difficulties for the breakthrough of the Huai You Army.
Although these powerful crossbows are not magical crossbows, they are still extremely sharp and more than enough to deal with ordinary soldiers. Moreover, due to the limited breakthrough points of the siege, these powerful crossbows can flexibly choose where to lie.
It can be said that the Huai You Army failed to make breakthroughs several times before, and they all fell into this move.
Seeing a group of soldiers who were pounced on the wall falling from the siege or rolling down from the siege car passage, clusters of red blood stains continued to magnify on their bodies, and all the soldiers of the Huaiyou Army who were following behind gritted their teeth, raised their round shields, and continued to arch their waists.
The more impatient officers, relying on their martial arts level, either jumped up, rolled up against the ground, or flashed left and right in order to avoid the ambush at the moment of climbing the city. Or there were many people in the city, and the contradictions were combined and rushed up quickly to seek a breakthrough.
The generals were observing nervously under the city wall. Once they found that there was a breakthrough, they would immediately order the follow-up forces to follow up immediately, and even led by themselves to expand the results of the battle and tear the gap.
When the war reaches this point, it doesn’t matter if it’s time to fight. If it’s time to fight, you have to fight. Even if it’s time to die, you have to die. Even if it’s hard for a bunch of people, it’s even harder for the other party. They all have this idea, just to win and lose.
Jiang Feng's eyes wandered on the city wall, and saw a pair of dull horned soldiers wearing fur hats and helmets appearing at the top of the city, and smiled slightly: "Wang Shouzhong is here."
Hong Kui, who was watching with a thousand-mile mirror, nodded: "Monday, I saw that the horned soldiers are coming, about one of them is about one. Wang Shouzhong, well, there are a few people with him, one of them looks like a magician."
"Oh? Wang Shouzhong and his personal magician?" Jiang Feng was slightly surprised.
This is rare.
Logically speaking, a master like the little heavenly rank no longer needs an ordinary magician to protect him.
Of course, you said that just in case, it would be normal to carry one or two magic weapons.
The magician has weak protection, and it takes time to activate the magician. This is easily a drag, unless someone else protects him and gives him time, but this is a waste of time for the little heavenly master.
"Monday, the use of magicians in this northern land is far less proficient than that in Jiangnan. They refer more to their personal spell casting power and rarely consider their role in magical equipment, magic combinations and magic weapons production. Therefore, it is not uncommon for a single magician to be a master of the Lord. Wang Shouzhong is still very careful about his own protection. If he is not wrong, he will follow him, his third son, King Guoxi, who is extremely talented in martial arts, and he is also a strong man who is approaching the Little Heavenly Territory."
The Qin and Han dynasties knew very well about Pinglu's situation. He stayed in Pinglu for more than ten years and returned to Luzhou for only two or three years. He was even more familiar with Pinglu than many people within the Pinglu army.
At the beginning, he was stuck in the position of the deputy commander of the left army of Pinglu, and of course there were many reasons.
First, Wang Shouzhong did not trust the local cadastral officers in Feipinglu.
Second, Qin and Han people were also a little proud and did not like to attract the power of the country. They did not belong to Wang Shouzhong's direct lineage, but had a good relationship with Wang Shouxin, which was even more unfair.
Third, his identity and origin were indeed unclear, so he finally surrendered and prepared to let him serve as the left army of Ziqing to serve as the deputy envoy of the horse.
Although he had a good relationship with Liu Yansi, he was arranged from the deputy envoy of the Pinglu Left Army, second only to the Pinglu Ya Army, to the newly formed Ziqing Left Army as the deputy envoy of the army. This was obviously a kind of exile, so the Qin and Han dynasties simply resigned and returned to their hometown.
Although he resigned from his post and returned home, he still had a short time to return home, so he still knew the situation in Pinglu, and he still had a lot of contact with some of the original old robes. Therefore, this time he also provided a lot of intelligence support for the Huai Right Army's northern expedition to Pinglu.
He was also the biggest supporter of Jiang Feng's decision to go directly to Qingzhou.
Because he knew very well that Liu Yansi went south to Haizhou and Wang Shouxin to take over Mizhou actually made Qingzhou at the weakest state at present. Once Wang Shouzhong reacted and reduced his troops to return to Ziqing area, if Huaiyou wanted to conquer Qingzhou and take Pinglu, he would not know how many times the price he would have to pay.
