V2.Chapter 285

Yueze looked at the indignant Li Xin and said positively, "anyway, Chuanmo has broken the main force of Zhen army. We must rush to attack Xitang before the two armies of Chuanmo. Therefore, this battle must be decided quickly!"

No matter how poor Zhenguo is, Xitang is the capital after all. There are a lot of wealth in it. Whoever can get into Xitang first will undoubtedly own the wealth of Zhenguo. Yueze doesn't want the fat meat that has been bitten to his mouth to be taken away by others.

Tang Yin, lingshuang and Li Xin all have the same idea. Fortunately, they are much closer to Xitang than the two armies of Sichuan and Mozambique. There are only two obstacles left in front of them, Huaning and Tongcheng. It is not impossible to beat Xitang before the Allied forces of Sichuan and Mozambique arrive.

After discussing the next tactics, they immediately took action. The five nation coalition army, with millions of troops, began to move towards Huaning.

Huaning is one of the Acropolis of Xitang, but it is also a big city. There are more than 150000 defenders in it. The main general is Zhao Huan, the general of the state of Zhen.

Zhao Huan can be regarded as a distinguished and famous general in the state of Zhen. He was born in an ordinary family, but he was able to sit in the position of general in the court dominated by hereditary dignitaries, which shows his extraordinary ability.

Most of the battles he commanded in the past were to win more with less and win the strong with the weak. Li Hong arranged him in Huaning with obvious intention. He hoped that he could create another miracle and help himself withstand the westward advance of the coalition army.

Although the city defense of Huaning is not weak, and the main general is a famous general of Zhenguo, how can the five countries' coalition forces pay attention to a mere city with millions of people.

After the Allied forces arrived in Huaning, even the camp had not been set up. Yue Ze and Li Xin couldn't wait to propose that the whole army launch a fierce attack on Huaning.

Tang Yin also intended to try the depth of each other. Yueze and Li Xin rarely took the initiative to fight. He pushed the boat along the water and let the two armies of an and Huan take the lead, and the three armies of Feng, Yu and Zhen press the array for him.

Yue Ze and Li Xin didn't pay attention to Hua Ning at all. Since Tang Yin arranged them to be the vanguard, they took it seriously and accepted it gladly.

Soon, under the mobilization of Vietnam and Lebanon, the two armies of an and Huan launched an all-out fierce attack on Huaning city.

Before moving forward, the soldiers of the two armies first used the riprap machines in their respective armies. In order to attack the garrison and urban defense to the greatest extent, the second army of an Huan specially borrowed more than 100 broken city crossbows from the Feng army.

Under the continuous attack of stone throwers and broken city crossbows, the walls of Huaning are blooming everywhere, and the arrow buttresses that have been smashed and shot through can be seen everywhere.

After several bursts of fierce blows, the soldiers of an and Huan lined up a neat square array and began to advance towards Huaning city.

When the square array of an army and Huan army was less than 20 meters away from the wall of Huaning, the stone throwing machine and broken city crossbow in the rear stopped firing.

As soon as they stopped here, Sergeant Zhen, who had already escaped under the city, immediately rushed up the city wall and launched a fierce counterattack against the camps of the an and Huan armies that were close outside the city.

Zhenjun's arrows were extremely fierce. One round after another, the dense rain of arrows fell down. At the same time, the stone throwing machines arranged in the city had begun to start, smashing huge stone bullets into the coalition camp.

The second armies of an and Huan also launched a counterattack. The archers put arrows on the city wall to cover their own siege soldiers, set up cloud ladders and climbed to the city wall.

The shooting between the two sides was fierce and cruel. The defenders were condescending and protected by arrow stacks. Naturally, they had a huge advantage. The anhuan army outside the city was different. All the soldiers were exposed to the arrows of the Zhen army, and countless casualties were caused by arrows.

However, the two armies of an and Huan who attacked the city this time showed great tenacity, mainly because Yue Ze and Li Xin had issued a death order. The soldiers of the whole army could only move forward and could not retreat. Those who violated the order would be dealt with by military law.

They also do not want their troops to be seen as empty bags. If they can't seize the opportunity to show a certain combat effectiveness now, they may really have no chance to show it again in the future.

It was driven by this mentality that the two armies of an and Huan made every effort in the siege.

If the two armies had such a strong desire to win and will to fight at the beginning, they would have won many victories in the battle against Zhen. Now they are ashamed and brave, but they happen to meet the famous general Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan has made perfect arrangements for the urban defense of Huaning and made full preparations. Under his command, the Zhenjun resistance is also very tenacious. On the wall, the Zhenjun has prepared a large number of wooden boards and bamboo poles in advance. When the Allied forces outside the city launch arrows, the Zhenjun defends with wooden boards, which can not only minimize the damage, but also get materials nearby, pull down the arrows nailed to the wooden boards and reflect them back to the enemy, When the Allied forces set up the ladder, the Zhenjun army took away the ladder with a bamboo pole to give them no chance to climb up. At the same time, the rolling logs and stones on the head of the city rolled down continuously like snowflakes, and the stone throwers set up in the city were also constantly attacking the rear camp of the anhuan allied forces, which brought huge casualties to the officers and soldiers of the two armies.

The siege began in the morning and lasted until noon. An Huan's army with a total of more than 400000 people was just arrived outside the city by more than 100000 defenders. They made no achievements, but suffered heavy casualties.

Up to now, Yueze and Li Xin, who watched the war, were a little anxious, and their foreheads also exuded cold sweat. It's just a Huaning city. There are only more than 100000 garrisons. Why is it so difficult to fight? Why can't our army of more than 400000 attack?

They were puzzled. Tang Yin squinted at them and saw that they didn't mean to retreat at all. He still wanted to attack like this. He nodded secretly and then shook his head.

Nodding is because they finally have the courage and boldness to lead the war. Shaking their head is because they feel that they are too desperate to save face. Knowing that they can't fight down, they still insist on fighting.

He pondered for a moment and said calmly, "brother Yue, brother Li?"

Yue Ze and Li Xin didn't seem to hear it, and still stared at the battlefield ahead. Tang Yin had to increase the volume and call him again.

"Ah?" At this time, they finally came back to their senses. With a full face, they both looked at Tang Yin and asked, "brother Wang, what advice do you have?"

Tang Yin said in a positive tone, "stop fighting. Our army has come all the way and is tired up and down. The enemy is ready for work and ready to attack. I'm afraid it will not only have no harvest, but also increase the casualties of the soldiers!"

Yue Ze and Li Xin have already had the intention to withdraw, but they don't want to withdraw. First, they can't stand down, and second, they don't feel reconciled.

Li Xin frowned and said, "brother Wang, we have been attacking for so long and the Garrison has suffered heavy losses. At this time, if we retreat, will we not give the enemy a chance to breathe? In my opinion, we should all go out and work hard to win Huaning!"

The enemy suffered heavy losses? I didn't see it. Tang Yin laughed in his heart. He only saw that the two armies of an and Huan had suffered great casualties in the siege, and the bodies under the city wall had been piled up almost one meter high.

"It's better to withdraw the troops first. It's not too late to attack after we have a rest!"

Before Yue Ze and Li Xin answered, lingshuang said, "brother Wang, since our army has been attacking for so long, it's a pity to stop the army now. It's better for the whole army to go to battle and besiege Huaning in all directions according to the meaning of brother Wang Yue and Li. Even if it is an iron wall, it can't resist our millions of troops!"

Tang Yin frowned. There are many troops on his side, but Huaning's urban defense is not weak. Moreover, his side has traveled a long way and the whole army is tired, while Zhen army is in its heyday. It is not a wise move to attack the whole army now.

Thinking of this, Tang Yin glanced back and smiled bitterly. His side didn't even tie up the camp. Now he chose the whole army to attack, which is more like a desperate fight.

Seeing that he was silent, lingshuang youyou said, "three of the four kings have decided to go to war. Does brother Wang intend to go his own way and choose to withdraw troops temporarily?"

Hearing this, Tang Yin immediately realized that lingshuang was still angry with herself.

Yue Ze and Li Xin also heard the smell of gunpowder in her mouth, He hurried to round the field and said, "brother Wang's concern is not unreasonable. If we attack after the rest of the whole army, we will be sure to win. However, our top priority is to capture Xitang before the Sichuan and Mozambican armies. We shouldn't delay too long here in Huaning. Therefore, if we want to rest, we can rest after we beat Xitang. There will be time at that time."

After all, they still want to attack the whole army now. Tang Yin smiled bitterly. Three of the four kings agreed. If he tried to block it, he would be too overbearing and not in line with the public.

He no longer expressed his opposition, smiled calmly, shrugged his shoulders and said: "since you all think that the whole army should go to war now, then continue to fight. However, I must remind you that even if we can beat Huaning this time, our casualties will not be small."

Yueze and Lixin looked at each other and didn't dare to answer. Lingshuang snorted and smiled and said, "brother Wang should also understand that there will be casualties when fighting."

Tang Yin gave her a deep look, nodded and stopped talking.

At the insistence of lingshuang, Yueze and Lixin, the Allied forces changed from the attack of the two armies in anhuan to the fierce attack of the whole army.

An army and Huan army continued to attack the west, Feng army mainly attacked the south, Zhen army mainly attacked the East and Yu army mainly attacked the north. The coalition forces of the five countries made every effort to launch a siege war against Huaning city.

As Ling Shuang said, no matter how strong the urban defense and tenacious the garrison in Huaning are, after all, the military strength is limited, and there is a qualitative gap between its overall strength and the coalition forces.

As soon as the Allied forces launched a siege on all sides, the garrison in Huaning immediately showed the disadvantage of insufficient troops.

In particular, the two sides of the main attack of the Feng army and the Zhen army were broken through to the wall from time to time by the officers and men of the two armies. Although the defenders fought hard and repeatedly pushed the Feng army and the Zhen army back to the city, they also paid huge casualties.

Seeing the fierce attack of the coalition forces, the urban defense of Huaning became precarious. At the critical moment, Zhao Huan showed a decisive and calm side. He urgently recruited all the people in Huaning to participate in the urban defense and resist the coalition forces.
