Chapter 75 is just a little short
Huan Wei, who lost his patience, sent another 10,000 soldiers to reinforce Huan Shisheng and ordered him to suppress the whole line.
Not afraid of god-like enemies, but afraid of pig-like leaders. This sentence is most suitable for Huan Wei.
The number of Huan army is indeed more than Jiangling, but Huan Wei only attacks one place, so that the Jiangling soldiers in the city can also focus on defense in one place. In front of such a strong city, what's the use of having more people in the case of the defense forces?
Huan Shisheng reorganized the soldiers while cursing Huan Wei. This time, he was also fierce. Isn't there a moat in Jiangling? I will fill the river for you. What to fill in? There are thousands of corpses in the city! Why not?
Under Huan Shisheng's order, 10,000 troops launched at the same time, with a huge shield in front of people and archers behind them, covering other soldiers to throw corpses into the moat.
I have to admit that Huan Shisheng's method is poisonous. No matter how wide the moat is, it is just a man-digged river. Thousands of bodies are thrown in, which not only fills the river, but also goes higher than the river.
Only in this way, it not only aroused the resistance of the soldiers and civilians in the city, but also made Huan's own soldiers feel sad.
Looking at the moat that had been filled, Huan Wei couldn't help laughing. In his opinion, Jiangling at this time was like an undressed woman who could be taken by him.
Once again, he sent an order to the whole army. The first to kill in the city not only fulfilled yesterday's promise, but also allowed him to seize the rich beauty in Jiangling City.
This order was like a needle of chicken blood, which once again enhanced the fighting spirit of the Huan army. Under the command of Huan Shisheng, 10,000 troops shouted and rushed to the city wall.
Under Zhao Lunwen's order, bows and arrows and crossbows were fired together, but they saw the Huan army fall piece by piece by piece. At this time, the Huan army soldiers with red eyes did not care about these at all. While fighting back at the city, they followed behind their comrades with shields and desperately pounced on the wall.
The casualties in the city are also increasing rapidly, but this side is the main attack direction of Huan Wei, so regular soldiers are also the most. Although there are many casualties, most of them are people who lack training, and the military heart has never wavered.
I don't know how long it took. After a lot of casualties, the ladder finally climbed up the wall, and then the soldiers of the Huan army climbed up the city like ants.
The city was attacked with rolling stones. In this way, the military and civilians in the city were more likely to be exposed, and casualties began to rise rapidly.
Looking at the soldiers under the ant-attached city, Huan Wei couldn't help smiling. Maybe the broken city is today, and he can live in the city tonight.
Lu Qiang! Humph! I want to use your head as a chamber pot..."
Huan Wei is proud! Suddenly, I felt that the ground seemed to tremble slightly.
Huh? What's the sound?"
Many soldiers looked in the direction of the sound and suddenly saw a black line in the distance, rushing this way at a very fast speed.
"No, it's cavalry"
It is said that Huan Wei's men are not without cavalry, but after the Battle of Wuling, Jiangling cavalry has remained in his heart like a shadow. So his first thought was not to send troops against the enemy, but to strengthen his vigilance.
In fact, Huan Wei also saw that the number of cavalry was not large, which may be the reason why he did not send troops to fight, but he forgot that Huan Shisheng's infantry and was attacking the city with all his strength. How to guard against the cavalry who killed like a sharp knife?
Lu Qiang's 500 cavalry were carefully selected, and there was also the arrogance of the war in Wuling, so these Jiangling cavalry, under the leadership of Tan Daoji, did not pay attention to the messy Huan army at all.
However, when he saw the panther's battle flag fluttering against the wind, then like a sharp blade, he directly cut the Huan army who hesitated to continue to attack or retreat in half. Immediately, the knight waved his weapon, like cutting melons and vegetables, slaughtering the Huan army soldiers.
Huan Shisheng was so scared that he turned around and ran away. He had a horse that ran fast, but his soldiers suffered. In this case, the infantry could not compete with the cavalry at all. For a moment, they were killed all over the Jiangling cavalry, and even many of them trampled on each other and died.
Zhao Lunwen in the city saw this and hurriedly shouted: "The reinforcements have arrived, kill..."
Under this, the defenders' morale was suddenly boosted, while Huan's army made a mess and turned around and ran back one after another. What kind of gold and silver beauties? Life is the most important thing. Run...
Those who ran slowly were shot to death by the soldiers in the city with arrows.
Seeing this, Huan Wei couldn't help but be furious and immediately mobilized his cavalry to kill him. He must destroy these 500 Jiangling cavalry.
He has a thousand cavalry, but he doesn't need cavalry to attack the city, so he hasn't brought them all out. Now that he thinks of mobilized troops, how can he still be too late?
And Tan Daoji came to make trouble at all. After killing Huan Shisheng's men and horses, he did not stop and ran directly to the distance.
Looking at the Jiangling cavalry that went away, Huan Wei's heart was overshadowed again. It turned out that Lu Qiang still had people and horses hidden outside. Although there were not many troops, they were like flies without biting people and annoying. In this way, how could he attack the city with all his strength?
When the Huan army ladder built the wall, Lu Qiang was ready to participate in the war, but with the disturbance of Tan Daoji and the retreat of the Huan army, his heart was finally relieved. Thinking about the tension just now, he knew that he still had too little experience in this field.
Regardless of anything else, he immediately organized people to treat the wounded and mobilized materials to defend the city. Who knows if Huan Wei will kill again?
Many parts of the city wall have been stained with blood stained dark red, with broken limbs and arms everywhere, and some wooden utensils on the wall are still emitting gray smoke.
Looking around, it's desolate.
According to the preliminary statistics, nearly 1,000 casualties, such a large number, and the tragedy in front of him have diluted the joy of repelling the Huan army, making Lu Qiang, who has never experienced such an offensive and defensive battle, feel that he can no longer fight so hard and has to think of other ways.
He told Wang Zhen and others to seize the time to appease the wounded soldiers and other matters, and he immediately rushed back to the government office and ordered Wang Kai to bring several live mouths captured in Wanjia Mipu.
On the first day of the siege, Huan Wei ended with a loss of more than 5,000, but he did not know that the blow to morale was immeasurable.
Fill the moat with the bodies of his dead brothers and refuse to send troops to rescue at the critical moment. What did he treat his brothers?
Although these complaints dare not be made clear, they have quietly spread in the Huan barracks.
Huan Shisheng had nowhere to vent his anger. He was even thinking that if Huan Wei could send troops to block the Jiangling cavalry, he might have killed the city now. It's good now. It's not much. Nearly 10,000 people have been lost before and after. Although there are many people on my side, they have not suffered such a disaster!
Huan Wei is also very depressed. He doesn't care about the life and death of the soldiers. There are many people. If there is no more move, but until now, he not only has to guard against Jiangling cavalry, but also has to leave enough troops to guard against Guo and Feng.
He knew that he had made a mistake. Even if he didn't let Guo, Feng or Sima Diao attack the city together, he should let them cooperate in other directions, at least dispersing part of the troops of the defenders.
Through the tent door and looking at Jiangling City in the sunset in the distance, Huan Wei's mood also became gray like the afterglow of the sunset.
At this critical moment, the fine tradition of the Huan family flashed again. What he wants now is not to let those troops cooperate with him in the siege of the city. Thus, he broke through the city in one fell swoop, but thought that the chess pieces laid in Jiangling in the early days should play a role, right? Why are you still not in touch with yourself?
Night always comes unconsciously. When the darkness covers the earth, the head of Jiangling City is still brightly lit, and the patrol soldiers patrol from time to time without giving the enemy any opportunity.
In contrast, most of the Huanjun camp in the distance has fallen into darkness except for the lights at the outer warning area. Although it is a rest time, it gives people a feeling of death.
At this time, in the first corner of the heavily guarded Jiangling City, someone suddenly slipped down the rope, but the patrolling soldiers seemed to perform their duties meticulously without knowing it.
This situation is not an exception, and the same scene is also taking place in Nancheng.
Although many of the camps in Huanjun's camp have been lit, how can Huan Wei, who is full of heart, fall asleep? At this moment, he is still sitting behind the handsome case and looking at his subordinates' reports.
At this moment, the bodyguard came to report that there was a person outside the camp who claimed to be a rice shop.
It's really what you want. Huan Wei couldn't be happy and immediately came in.
Of course, the person who came is not from Wanjia Rice Shop, but Wang Kai, Lu Qiang's deputy leader. Those captured and tortured are basically useless. Even if the people who confess truthfully, how dare Lu Qiang use it? So Wang Kai, the smartest of the bodyguards, was sent to impersonate him.
After checking the contact codes and tokens with the Wan family, Huan Wei was relieved to ask about the situation of the Wan family and how he went out of the city. Seeing that Wang Kai answered calmly one by one, Huan Wei was relieved.
"What did Lord Wan say?"
Huan Wei is already a little impatient.
"To the king, my owner said that Jiangling City is under your strong attack today, and the city is already panicked. The owner has secretly contacted many families to welcome the king into the city, but he wants to treat these families well after inviting the king to enter the city."
"Haha! That's certain. I will never treat people who are loyal to me. Did your owner say how to help me seize the city?
"My owner means that you will continue to attack the city tomorrow, but there is no need to attack. You just need to create a momentum and continue to put some pressure on those families who are still waiting, so that they can make up their minds to serve the king. If it goes well, the third update the day after tomorrow, my owner will launch the rich families in the city to create a mess. Chaos, and took the opportunity to open the gate. When the king saw a fire in the city, he could lead his troops to attack the city."
Wang Kai's words were well-founded, coupled with his preconceived and urgent mood, so Huan Wei was convinced of Wan Dongzhu's arrangement.
ordered Wang Kai to be rewarded, but in order to prevent him from going back and being caught by the defenders, he left him in the barracks. At the same time, Huan Wei also appreciated this capable domestic slave and planned to ask Wan Dongzhu to work for himself after the war.
A big deal can be decided, and Huan Wei can finally sleep peacefully.
Huawei is the only one who has a long night and doesn't want to sleep?
