Fengpingcheng
Qin yuan has attacked three times with his men and horses
Each attack was very fierce. After the riprap wheels blew over, the infantry of the black flag army pushed the siege vehicle almost as high as the city wall forward slowly. The huge siege vehicle was heavy and slow, and the ground was rolled out with deep marks. The siege car is divided into two floors. The lower floor is empty and there is a ladder to climb to the second floor. On the second floor are dozens of archers, which can shoot at the defenders on the wall.
In front of the second floor, there is a ladder extending forward obliquely, which can be built against the wall. When the siege vehicle approaches the wall, the soldiers can climb directly to the wall along the ladder. The reason why the infantry of the Sui Dynasty were victorious for a long time was that they had a set of reasonable tactics and a set of reasonable equipment.
This is the experience summed up after countless wars. Every kind of equipment can not be underestimated.
After hundreds of riprap trucks were suppressed, Qin yuan began to attack with infantry. In front of the siege hammer is an improved crossbow, which can raise the launch elevation and blast the Heavy Crossbow onto the city wall, but its range is certainly not as good as that of the Garrison's crossbow.
Fang Xie is a leader who is used to using a large number of equipment to try his best to reduce soldiers' casualties. Therefore, he has invested a lot of money in making equipment. In addition, the goods have unparalleled appeal and financial resources. He can recruit a large number of craftsmen, so the number of siege equipment is amazing.
Fang Xie also personally participated in the construction of these instruments. He is not a professional in this field, but he can add some novel ideas. For example, he added two huge shields to the two wings of the crossbow. Although he increased the weight of the crossbow and made it move more slowly, he can ensure that the casualties of soldiers operating the crossbow are minimized.
At the beginning of the attack, it was a competition of long-range weapons between the two sides. The defenders on the city wall occupied a favorable place and were condescending. They could give full play to the power of long-range weapons better than the one attacking the city. However, because the riprap truck could not be installed on the city wall, it was suppressed miserably at the beginning, and the soldiers guarding the city lost a lot.
When the infantry of the black flag army began to approach, Yu xiaolike organized archers to fight back. The feather arrows are so dense that they can hit each other in the sky. They look up and look at the sky. They are all dark colors.
It has to be said that Yu Xiao, who was personally taught by Yu manlou, is very capable. He uses all the means he can use to defend the city, and reasonably arranges the rotation of the reserve team.
Three attacks in three days, although fierce, still did not break Feng Ping.
After the third offensive of the black flag army gradually retreated, Yu Xiao wiped the sweat on his forehead and sat down against the wall pile. This is the first time he has faced such a tragic war. To tell the truth, although he is conceited, he is still a little nervous. He was decompressed by Fang when he was in Chang'an city. At that time, he could comfort himself with Fang Xie's good luck. He always felt that if it had not been for the original God bless emperor Yang Yi to hold up an iconic figure from a poor family background, Fang Xie would not have come out at all.
Therefore, he always felt that he should be strong in every aspect.
When the two men fought head-on, Yu Xiao felt the heavy pressure. This was his first real battle, and Fang Xie had killed people and horses in half of the Sui Dynasty.
This is not what knowledge can make up for. Yu Xiao can see from the means of the black flag army attacking the city that Fang Xie has mastered enough war skills.
"General..."
His personal Colonel Du Lei squatted down beside him, panting, and his face was a little ugly: "It's not a way to go on like this. The attack of the black flag army looks fierce, but there are not many troops invested. Every time we fight back, the soldiers of the black flag army retreat and continue to smash them with riprap trucks... They don't intend to attack the city by fighting for human life at all. If it's the same, the soldiers we can use in our hands will be gradually worn away."
Du Lei sighed: "it seems that the black flag army is not in a hurry. This is the most worrying thing. If the enemy is eager to attack and seize the city, it will be good for us. But the enemy is not in a hurry. He consumes our troops and destroys the city defense by relying on instruments... If he persists for more than ten days, the crossbow on the city wall will be useless."
Why can't Yu Xiao see what Du Lei said?
Every time the black flag army's offensive looked ferocious and suffocating, but it was really small in the input of troops. Riprap carts, crossbow carts and siege carts were aggressive every time. When Feng Ping army began to counterattack, the black flag army began to withdraw out of range.
This is a very clever and vicious tactic. The purpose is to consume the number of soldiers guarding the city and destroy the morale of the soldiers. The black flag army can pretend that every feint is the main attack, but the side guarding the city has to fight every feint as a decisive battle.
In the long run, the physical strength and perseverance of the soldiers guarding the city will be worn down.
However, the side guarding the city can't slack off. The enemy can turn feint into the main attack at any time, and they must face it every time. If the side guarding the city feels that the black flag army is feinting and doesn't fight back immediately, the black flag army will rush up like a fierce beast.
This change is very casual, completely between the thoughts of the commander of the black flag army.
Being led by the nose makes Yu Xiao feel very uncomfortable and angry.
"Get that gun up to the wall. I'll go and say to the city Lord."
Yu Xiao was silent for a moment and looked out from the hole in the battlement. On the high slope beyond the city, a man in black stood there, straight as a javelin. Yu Xiao knew that all the attacks came from that man. The man stood high and watched the war with his eyes. Beside him was a burly man holding a big flag waving the flag at any time according to his instructions, and the army attacking the city would immediately change its tactics.
That person must be a solution.
If the black flag army is an incomparable beast, then the solution is the brain of the beast. Yu Xiao knew that as long as Fang Xie stood on the high slope, he would always be passive.
"I want to go out of town and talk to Fang Xie."
He squeezed out a few words from his teeth, and his tone was ruthless and resolute.
……
……
A private soldier of Yu Xiao came down from the wall in a basket, shook the white flag in his hand and walked to the black flag army camp. Soon, he was picked up by a team of black flag Army soldiers and escorted into the camp. Then, a letter written by Yu Xiao was handed over to Fang Xie. Yu Xiao asked Fang Xie to meet 600 steps outside the city.
Fang Xie couldn't help smiling at the letter and said to the messenger that I would come as promised.
The next morning, Fang Xie walked out of the camp alone. Chen Dingnan, the cavalry of the black flag army, gathered in a tight array, and Fang Xie's own soldiers were ready to rush over at any time under the command of Qilin and Nie Xiaoju. But Fang Xie was not nervous because he guessed what Yu Xiao was going to do.
Yu Xiao arrived in advance and waited. He even asked someone to bring a table and two chairs down. He sat on the chair and squinted at Fang Xie.
When Fang Xie was approaching, Yu Xiao got up to meet him: "Jue Xiao, long time no see!"
Fang Xie also hugged his fist: "brother Dingcheng, are you all right?"
The two smiled and took their seats.
After being silent for a while, Yu Xiao said, "since I know you're coming, I don't want to beat around the bush. I just said it directly. After all, you and I still have the friendship of classmates. It's hypocritical to talk about something else."
"Please"
Fang Xie made a gesture of invitation.
"I'm a sui."
After finishing up his words, Yu Xiao said, "there is no doubt that I am from the Sui Dynasty no matter where I am. Although my father was killed by the imperial court, he is always a general of the Sixth Army of the son of heaven. He was still wearing armor when he was beheaded. I am not wrong that our Yu family did not walk behind others in any war in the Sui Dynasty for nearly 200 years."
Fang Xie nodded and didn't speak.
"So, I want to ask you to withdraw."
Yu Xiao looked very sincere and said, "I'm from the Sui Dynasty. Even if I work for Zhu Baotian in Fengping, I can't change my origin. I can seriously tell you that sooner or later Fengping is from the great Sui Dynasty. You don't have to fight. Two years later, I'll let the great Sui flag hang on the wall of Fengping city. Do you believe I can do it?"
Fang Xie nodded: "I believe brother Dingcheng has such ability."
But he shrugged his shoulders again. "But don't you think this joke is not funny at all?"
Yu Xiao said seriously, "I'm not kidding. If you lead troops to fight, the loss will not be small. Even if you occupy Feng Ping, you will lose your strength. But just give me two years, I can take Feng Ping without blood. Anyway, it's much better than meeting you and me?"
Fang Xie smiled: "there is one thing you are wrong, so everything you say is wrong."
Yu Xiao's face changed: "what's the matter?"
Fang Xie looked at his sign language and said calmly, "I'll fight Feng Ping, not for Da Sui. In other words, it's not da Sui who wants Feng Ping, it's me."
As soon as this sentence was uttered, there was a strange flash in Yu Xiao's eyes.
"Jue Xiao is so ambitious."
He sighed, then leaned forward and asked, "well, how about we decide the outcome in another way? The solution to the problem is not just war after all."
Fang Xie looked at him and asked, "did you kill me, or did I kill you?"
"No, no, no"
Yu Xiao waved his hand and said: "Why a duel between life and death? When I was in Chang'an City, Jue Xiao, you were always ahead of me. To tell the truth, when I entered the martial arts academy, I only had one opponent in my eyes, that is the boy of Pei family. He and I knew that we could win or lose in the slightest degree. Whoever won or lost was possible. The whole Chang'an city was even for us two a year or two before the exam I bet that I won the first place and he won the first prize... "
Fang Xie smiled and said, "then I came, so there's nothing wrong with you two."
Yu Xiao twitched unnaturally at the corners of his mouth, but did not refute: "Yes, when you came, the point that everyone in Chang'an City paid attention to before changed. Pei Chuxing and I became your foil, which seemed so ridiculous. At that time, I was thinking, what are you for? Over the past few years, I have been thinking that if I have a chance, I must compare with you and seriously."
After a little silence, Fang Xie said, "it seems childish and ridiculous to talk about these on the battlefield, but... I can help you."
I'll help you with this sentence, which makes Yu Xiao unable to move back.
"Wen or Wu? But you have to think it over. Now you are a vassal of 100000 soldiers under your command, and I am just an imperial prisoner in the Sui Dynasty. So you should understand that you suffer more in this competition. Why don't you draw a line and I'll take the move."
Asked Yu Xiao.
He still tried to recover the weak point of momentum.
Fang Xie looked a little careless and said, "I'm free, you try your best."
Yu Xiao was stunned and killed the machine.
