Qin Feng, who went out with the army, did not know the girl's mind far away in Jingnan county. At the moment, Zhao Yuanjin's 100000 troops had already entered Xiangyang City, and a fierce siege was about to begin.
To be honest, Zhao Yuanjin has won most of Jingzhou in a short period of time with unprecedented expansion speed, which naturally exposes some disadvantages.
For example, most of the 100000 troops were obtained by taking in and reorganizing troops from various counties. Some of them may not have no different ideas. It is just that Zhao Yuanjin has a strong voice and has no chance to make trouble for them. Once the army encounters some kind of accident, such as losing battle or something, it may happen in the army.
Therefore, Qin Feng had advised Zhao Yuanjin that he would stop fighting after Xiangyang, concentrate on rectifying the interior, digesting the results of the war, pacifying the newly collected counties, and so on. It is not too late to use the army until the foundation is stable. Zhao Yuanjin had no objection to this, so the matter was settled.
However, although it is only parallel time and space, the world's Xiangyang City is still high, thick walls, majestic and precipitous, with the reputation of the world's first city. For any vassal, the city was a tough nut to crack. However, its important strategic position forced the conquerors to work hard.
During the war between song and Yuan Dynasties in the history of the world, Xiangyang City was besieged by the Mongolian army for many years. Hundreds of thousands of troops stationed troops under the city, and all kinds of strategies still failed. It was not until the return gun came out and put into use that it became the last straw that crushed the camel and finally won this vital male city.
The next morning, Zhao Yuanjin led his troops out of the camp to inspect the surrounding terrain of Xiangyang City with other generals.
After learning that Zhao's army was approaching, Xiangyang had been under martial law two days ago. The city gate was closed, and thousands of soldiers went to the wall to guard in turn, day and night.
“…… What a magnificent city
Looking at the big city in the vision, Zhao Yuanjin sighed slightly. All the officials around him looked dignified and silent.
The thick city wall is made of green square bricks, up to 20 meters high. There are many crenels and arched towers, and many soldiers are distributed among them. Each of them performs his duties and is highly guarded.
Another headache is the moat under the city, which is nearly 200 meters wide and several meters deep. Moreover, it is still the flowing water. There are many warships on the river. It is difficult to cut it off and fill it up.
What's more, at the moment, Xiangyang City has enough troops. It is said that there are no less than 30000 elite troops stationed, and there is no lack of food, grass and weapons. Although Yu Hualong is an old man, he always has a strategy. He is as good at using military as Mengluo. He is loyal to the imperial court, so there is no possibility of persuading him to surrender.
Because of the convenient transportation and good governance of several generations of leaders, Xiangyang City has developed to a large population and rich economy. When necessary, it can collect materials from the people and enough young people to help defend the city. Even if the offensive side has 100000 elite soldiers, it does not show any advantages in the face of such a city.
According to historical records, Xiangyang has rarely been conquered since it was built. Every time a city changes hands, it is killing a sea of blood and killing countless casualties, and the attacking party can win the final victory.
At the beginning of the founding of the Qi Dynasty, it swept the South and won every day. Only Xiangyang City remained standing. Emperor Taizu personally led the army to supervise the battle. Hundreds of thousands of troops besieged the city for nearly a year, and nearly 100000 people were damaged, and they were still not allowed to enter. Later, he had to spend a lot of money to buy Wang Qi, the general of the east gate, and ordered him to open the gate secretly at night. Only by combining inside and outside, did he win the huge city.
With Zhao Yuanjin's present military strength, it is almost impossible to capture this city under normal circumstances. However, with the help of Qin Feng, he also had the weapon of return gun. Therefore, it can be predicted that the siege will not last too long, and the result can be achieved in ten days and a half months.
On the city wall, Yu Hualong, whose hair was gray, was dressed in full clothes. He still looked at the dense besieged troops under the city with sharp eyes. After a long time, he gently shook his head and said, "most of them are just mobs. What can I fear?"
The generals on their sides nodded in succession. This is not a deliberate taunt. Looking down from the top of the city, experienced generals can easily find out the incongruity of Zhao's camp. In addition to the fact that the soldiers of good manners and bad manners have not yet returned to the army in an orderly manner, some of them have not yet returned to the army in an orderly manner.
In the past few years, it is not that there has been no idea of Xiangyang City by the refugees' rebel army, and all of them have suffered a lot in front of this strong city. Although Zhao Yuanjin was more powerful, he was just a rebellious minister. How could he take the city from his hand in Hualong?
"Hum, you thieves, you'd better not give up your heart all the time. Just spend a few more months here. When the imperial court pacifies Wu zhence, it's your turn to die." Yu Hualong thought with a sneer.
A moment later, fifteen strange objects, tall and unusual, were slowly pushed out of the barracks in the distance. The main feature of these objects was that they were large enough that each one required hundreds of soldiers and craftsmen to jointly control and handle."Is this the rumored giant catapult?"
Yu Hualong frowned slightly, and at the bottom of his heart he felt a bad feeling for the first time.
It's said that the city walls of Jingzhou can't be attacked so quickly without the help of the city walls. I don't know if the walls of Xiangyang City can block its attack.
Zhao Jun did not delay, only a moment later, the 15 return guns were completed.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Yuanjin's expression was indifferent and ordered.
"Boom! Boom! Boom
With the huge sound of earth shaking, huge rocks like meteorites fell from the sky, and most of them fell on the city wall. Suddenly, sand and dust sprang up all over the sky, and the debris splashed everywhere.
Under the city 100000 troops cheered together, deafening, morale.
Zhao Yuanjin smiles with satisfaction. This time, it is not easy and the cost is amazing. However, with the support of Qin Feng, he is rich and generous, and does not mean to spend money. What's more, it's very convenient to attack the city and land with this sharp weapon in hand.
Although the distance is far away, the terrible potential energy carried by the huge stone falling from the sky can still smash the hard wall to the depth of feet. Once or twice is nothing, but hundreds of boulders have been smashed down one after another, and the cumulative damage to the city wall cannot be ignored.
In particular, there is no shortage of oil in the Zhao army. Therefore, the oil firebombs made of clay pots are mixed in the boulders and are constantly fired out. It poses a great threat to the garrison on the wall of the city. Every boulder falls on the ground, which often leads to several or even dozens of people screaming and dying. As for those oil bombs, the city wall fires from time to time. Some fire bombs even cross the wall and fall into the residential areas of the city. The smoke billows, causing the defenders to be exhausted and exhausted.
"Keep attacking, don't stop!"
Zhao Yuanjin, on horseback, ordered in a high spirited manner. With the technical conditions of this era, although the power of the catapult is huge, it is a rather delicate and easy to wear weapon. After launching a certain number of times, it must stop for repair and maintenance.
Of course, Qin Feng was there. Some of the key parts of the gun were made of high-strength alloy. He found foreign metal processing factories to place orders in batches in the main world, and then brought them over to the craftsmen for processing and assembling. Therefore, the structure of these fifteen boomerang guns is so solid and stable that it can be blasted all day long.
“…… hold still! Be sure to hold on
The cold sweat soaked in Yu Hualong's clothes and robes. This tough old general bit his teeth and issued orders like water. He deployed troops to strengthen his defense.
Although Zhao's Stonehenge offensive was unexpectedly fierce, the advantages of the Garrison should not be ignored. Besides, the morale of the troops was very strong when the war started at the moment. Therefore, the two sides were in a good fight for a while and a half.
In this way, the headquarters of the Zhao army took turns to cease the war, bombarded the wall with return guns during the day, and launched sporadic harassment at night, but did not send a large number of soldiers to attack the city. The whole situation made the garrison nervous and tired, and it took seven days.
Zhao Yuanjin immediately ordered the army to attack the city with all its strength.
"It seems that the enemy is tired. We are just going to attack and continue to kill them." Qin Feng said with a smile.
In the past seven days, he has fully adapted to the realm of martial arts master, and he just takes this opportunity to try his own strength limit.
"Well, sir, be careful." Zhao Yuanjing nodded.
So Qin Feng, in black armor, with a long sword and ten martial arts experts, crossed the floating bridge on the moat and rushed to the high wall.
The tip of the sword touched lightly on the moss covered wall brick of the city foundation, and Qin Feng's body with a series of remnant images soared to the sky, and easily rushed to the head of the city.
On the broad corridor behind the crenels, several soldiers were carrying a large boiling iron pot to fall down, which was boiling gold juice.
Qin Feng glanced faintly, the sharp edge of the sword trembled rapidly, and the thin wisps of sword brushed their necks, and the red blood shot out, which easily took away their lives.
He did not deliberately avoid what, randomly selected the direction, along the corridor leisurely walk down. There were corpses all over the place, and no one was his one enemy.
"Damn it, the martial master of the bandit army is coming up. Go and gather archers to stop him!" Yu Hualong Tieqing roared with his face,
hundreds of archers rushed along the steps behind the city wall. Qin Feng laughed and swayed falsely, and took his own experts to jump down the city head and leave. The raid did not last long, but he alone killed hundreds of enemy soldiers.
Bows and crossbows are powerful, but as long as the inborn martial arts master can retreat in time, or be in a non open area that is not conducive to the performance of bows and crossbows, there is nothing to worry about.
What's more, the accomplishments of the strong at this level are amazing. As long as they can return before exhaustion and attack again after recovery, basically no one can do anything about it, unless they are masters who encounter the same level.
Qin Feng plans to use this "odd beat sugar" tactics, sharpen their own combat skills, at the same time, make good use of the city's garrison strength.www.novelhold.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
