Chapter 1902 The Attack and Defense of Yanjing (11)
Chapter 1900: Attack and Defense of Yanjing (11)
Although the North Gate guard Su Jian died, his deputy general was still there, so the Han army was not in a state of confusion because of the lack of a guard.
However, this deputy general's ability is limited and he cannot compete with the famous general Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui also discovered this, so the siege method kept changing, but Lieutenant General Su Jian could not keep up with his rhythm. This caused the situation in the North Gate to decline to this point.
So, when the general Xue Gang arrived, the happiest person was not the defenders, but the deputy general Su Jian.
After fighting against famous generals like Xue Rengui, he realized that the gap between himself and the famous generals was as big as heaven and earth.
Xue Gang waved the flag and ordered: "First move away the damaged catapults and bed crossbows. The remaining ones that are not damaged, follow my commander's command, aim at the Qin Army's eighteenth well, and launch ”
【Ding dong, the effect 2 of ‘Five Tigers and One Tai Sui’ is activated. When four people are present, the general will gain +1.
Xue Gang’s basic commander is 97, Liu Che’s ‘Wu Xiong’ +3, and his current commander has risen to 101. 】
When Xue Rengui saw Xue Gang appearing at the top of the city, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
As expected, he was about to shoot an arrow at Xue Gang, but as soon as the arrow was nocked on his bow, the next moment, all the catapults and crossbows on the north gate tower were all aimed at his position.
"not good."
Xue Rengui screamed, turned around, jumped down the well, and ran towards the main formation. This time he was really too late to save people.
Xue Rengui ran fast without even looking behind him, because he knew without looking that there must be a sky full of arrows and stones behind him.
Boom…Boom…
Hundreds of stone bullets and thousands of crossbow arrows fell, targeting exactly where Xue Rengui was just now, and the well railing was instantly smashed into a sieve.
Dozens of soldiers who were still on top had no time to escape, and they didn't even have time to scream. They were either smashed into meat pies by flying rocks falling from the sky, or were pierced by crossbow arrows with thick wrists. Their death was extremely miserable.
The area of the rain of flying stones and arrows was very wide. Although Xue Rengui avoided the densest areas, there were still a few sporadic stone bullets and crossbow arrows falling around him.
Xue Rengui fled and hid, avoiding all the stone bullets and crossbow arrows. However, Xue Gang on the tower commanded the catapult and continued to fire flying stones and crossbow arrows at him, so another rain of arrows and stones hit him.
Seeing this, Xue Rengui blew a whistle quickly, and his psychic mount Bai Linju, upon hearing his master's whistle, immediately turned into a bolt of lightning and ran towards his master at high speed.
Boom…Boom…Boom…
Flying stones kept falling, and Xue Rengui dodged from left to right, then jumped onto Bai Linju's back. At the same time, he waved his big halberd to block the arrows and stones, and rode his BMW all the way back to the main formation.
“Huh, it’s so dangerous.”
Xue Rengui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The concentrated fire of more than twenty catapults and hundreds of crossbows made him feel a little overwhelmed. I really don't know how Sun Lingming managed to survive unharmed under the firepower of a city.
Xue Gang saw that Xue Rengui escaped without any damage, and his face was filled with displeasure. He thought that under his personal command, he could injure Xue Rengui even if he could not kill him, but he did not expect that he would not even be able to kill him. Not hurt.
“You’re lucky.”
Xue Gang said coldly, and immediately got off the city wall and hid his figure, not giving Xue Rengui a chance to set fire on himself. He would not make the same stupid mistake as Su Jian.
Suddenly he was 'bombed' by the Han army and was almost injured. Xue Rengui naturally wanted to take revenge and go back.
Therefore, just after returning to the formation, Xue Rengui prepared to command the catapult to attack Xue Gang, so that he could experience the feeling of being bombed. However, Xue Gang disappeared before the order was given, and the Qin army's catapult also lost its total value. The goal. "Humph, you can run fast." Xue Rengui snorted with an unhappy look on his face.
After Xue Gang arrived, under the command of Commander 101, the chaotic command situation in the North Gate was quickly brought under control.
The defensive equipment at the North Gate was too severely damaged and was completely suppressed by the Qin army in terms of firepower. If there were no spare equipment to replace it, it would be in a passive state of being beaten until the moat was completely filled.
Although the moat of Yanjing was dug extremely deep, there would always be a day when the Qin army would fill it in. At that time, the Qin army could officially attack the city.
Therefore, Xue Gang must reverse the disadvantageous defensive situation of the North Gate before the moat is filled.
Xue Gang ordered the removal of damaged and unusable equipment in order to make room for intact and usable equipment, and he brought fifty slingshots and two hundred crossbows, which could just replace the damaged equipment.
Under Xue Gang's command, the North Gate soldiers no longer bumped around like headless flies. They were moving materials and controlling equipment, and they were all moving towards the good side in an orderly manner.
Xue Rengui outside the city also discovered the changes in the Han army, but he could do nothing about it. After all, Xue Gang's arrival not only gave the North Gate defenders a backbone, but also brought a large number of reinforcements to the North Gate. and replacement ordnance.
With the addition of reinforcements and equipment, Xue Rengui's previous efforts were all in vain.
In addition, even Xue Rengui could not find any flaws in Xue Gang's command in terms of command. He could only attack steadily and weaken the defenders bit by bit.
After re-stabilizing the north gate, Xue Gang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately had Su Jian's deputy general Zhang Wei escorted over.
Looking at Zhang Wei's frightened expression, Xue Gang sighed and said, "I know this is not your fault. It's not that you are incompetent, but that Xue Rengui is too strong."
Hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Zhang Wei's eyes, but Xue Zhichang's next words drove him to hell.
“But if Beimen suffers such a huge loss, someone must bear the responsibility.”
Xue Gang patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder and said indifferently: "Go in peace, I will take care of your wife and children."
"big…"
Zhang Wei spoke in horror, but before he could finish his words, Xue Gang cut off his head with a sword.
"The order has been passed down. Zhang Wei is incompetent, causing heavy losses to the north gate. I have executed him on the spot." Xue Gang said coldly.
The siege continued, and the losses on both sides of Qin and Han were considerable.
In the early stage, the Han army suffered greater casualties than the Qin army because they were caught off guard.
But as Xue Gang transferred his army back, the Han army received support, and the casualty ratio between the two sides gradually became equal.
However, overall, the casualties of the Qin army were still lower than those of the Han army.
As the sky grew dark, the sun set and the moon rose, Su Dingfang ordered the troops to withdraw and return to camp, thus ending the one-day siege.
The Qin army failed to fill the moat and destroy all the equipment at the top of the city, but they still achieved brilliant results, but their own casualties were also considerable.
The second update is here, and I still owe 3 chapters.
