This battle is very difficult for both sides. The city defense of Tianyuan City is indeed solid. It is a county city itself. The walls are high and thick, and extremely solid.
Moreover, since the Independence Army launched its army, Yan Tong has been strengthening the city defense of Tianyuan City, so that the city walls are more than 100 meters long on the original basis. There are so many weapons such as rolling wood and rocks on the top of the city that are so piled up like mountains.
Sixty thousand soldiers, condescending, easy to defend but difficult to attack
The siege equipment of the Independent Army is now transported to the army, including catapults, siege crossbows, and movable arrow towers. These large siege weapons pose a huge threat to the defenders on the top of the city. The striking vehicles that break through the city walls and the siege vehicles that break through the city gates also bring great pressure to the city defense.
The two sides fought, arrows flew back and forth, huge rocks were shuttled through the air, and the soldiers fell under the powerful shooting of the crossbow, and countless soldiers were smashed into meat pie by the flying rocks. The sound of killing on the battlefield was shouting and screaming, fires were rising, and thick smoke rolled.
The city walls are fighting to the death everywhere. Not to mention the city, the corpses piled up in the moat are all laid out, and the river water is dyed with scarlet blood.
This is a tragic battle where the enemy loses one thousand and I lose eight hundred
The Independent Army attacked the city from morning to late at night. The siege troops changed one battalion after another. Many battalions had fought three rounds, and the soldiers above and below were extremely tired.
The situation in Tianyuan City was not much better. How could the 60,000 Shura soldiers withstand the attack of the 200,000 independent troops on all sides? In the absence of manpower, Yan Tong directly ordered the personal guards around him to go to the city to arrest people. As long as they were strong men, no matter who they were, they would be brought to the top of the city without even armor. They just sent a spear and immediately participated in defending the city.
Under Yan Tong's almost crazy persistence, the Independence Army took the lead in retreating
Wu Tianjiao accepted Wang De's opinion and temporarily stopped siege and rest first
The retreat of the Independence Army made the soldiers on both sides breathe a sigh of relief
After just one battle, the 60,000 defenders in Tianyuan City reduced their troops to 50,000. As for the countless strong men who died in battle, the Independent Army suffered more than 10,000 casualties. Looking around at the battlefield, the corpses and weapons were all over the ground, and arrows were planted like straw.
Such a tragic battle is rare
The sturdy city of Tianyuan can be said to be beyond the expectations of Wu Tianjiao and his generals. Such a strong city defense and such tenacious resistance may not be able to conquer Tianyuan City for three days, even ten days or even one month.
What is him!
In the central army tent, Xiong Da tugged his neck and scolded: If Yan Tong had not cared for the lives and death of the people in the city and captured a large number of people to resist our army, we would have attacked the city long ago!
Yan Tong used forced means to capture the tyrants and participate in defending the city, which was indeed unexpected by everyone.
Tianyuan City is the county city, which is the largest city in Tianyuan County. There will be more than 500,000 people in the city alone. Excluding half of the women, half of the elderly, young, sick and disabled, and there will be more than 100,000 strong men. If all of them are captured by Yan Tong to participate in the defense of the city, this will be more than double the defense of Tianyuan City.
At this time, even the extremely intelligent generals such as Wang De and Wang Qiang were full of worries, thinking that this battle would be difficult to end in a short period of time. If not done well, it would have to evolve into a protracted war of war and attrition. Of course, this is the most unacceptable war for the current Independence Army.
Wu Tianjiao paced back and forth in front of the Shuai Case. After walking for a while, he stopped and looked around the people in the tent, and said sternly: No matter how strong the defense is, it always has weaknesses. Even if it is a piece of iron, it will have weaknesses. Everyone, who has a plan to break the city?
Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads, no one spoke
Seeing this, Wu Tianjiao was frustrated and said that when he attacked the city, everyone spoke in unison. Now that the attack was frustrated, they all turned into mute.
Wu Tianjiao took a deep breath and said solemnly: Tianyuan City is solid. If our army cannot capture it for a long time, the army will have no food and will be defeated without fighting. Since no one has any good plans to destroy the city, let's withdraw our troops and go back to Beihai County to military farms first!
Your Highness, no! When everyone heard this, they raised their heads and stopped them in unison
Now our side finally reached Tianyuan City, and it was only one step away from taking down the entire Tianyuan County. If we withdraw troops at this time, wouldn’t it be a waste and would also greatly damage our morale
Wang De said seriously: Your Highness must not withdraw his troops now, and food and grass are not a problem. As long as you capture Tianyuan City, the food and grass in the city will definitely be enough for our army.
After pausing, he added: Yan Tong has been preparing for Tianyuan City for so long, and there must be a lot of stocks and grass in the city.
Wu Tianjiao was just an angry word, intending to inspire the fighting spirit of the generals
Seeing this, he was secretly happy, holding Shuai's mouth with both hands, leaning forward and saying: Even if there are gold and silver mountains in Tianyuan City, we have to dig in to get the things.
Wang Qiang pondered for a moment and frowned and said: Our army's food and grass are enough for a month. It only takes a month to attack Tianyuan City within a month, so your Highness doesn't have to hurry up!
Before Wu Tianjiao could answer the conversation, Wang De said: Now, we must be anxious! If our army cannot capture Tianyuan City for a long time, its morale is depressed and its soldiers are exhausted, I think the ancient Luotu in Yizhou City will no longer sit idly by. If Yizhou City suddenly sends troops to attack our army and cooperate with the enemy in Tianyuan City, the situation of our army will be worrying!
oh……
This was something that Wang Qiang did not expect. It was not unreasonable to consider Wang De's words carefully. Although Gu Luotu may not have such a strategic vision, there must be people around him. If it is really like Wang De said, Gu Luotu leads all the troops and horses to the fullest, his army will change from advantage to disadvantage
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, and at the same time he nodded slowly with a serious expression.
Wu Tianjiao looked at Wang De and knew that he was cunning, especially his ability to adapt to the situation on the battlefield.
Wu Tianjiao asked: General Wang De, in your opinion, how should our army break the city?
Wang De's eyes rolled and said with a slight slight voice: Maybe... we can use the night attack strategy again!
Wu Tianjiao smiled bitterly when he heard this. The last time he attacked Dinghu City, he used the night attack tactic. Although it was successful in the end, Wu Qingshuang, the leader of the Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul-Stearing Soul
And there is a lesson in the past, Tianyuan City will not be unprepared
He shook his head slowly and said: I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed this time!
But you might as well give it a try!
Wang De said: Our army must not give the enemy troops in the city a rest time. Even if there is no large siege at night, it is necessary to continuously strike. Your Highness can send people out to harass him, and then send people to sneak into the city. Even if the city gate cannot be opened, you can check the enemy's defense situation, which is conducive to our army's deployment during the daytime siege!
Well! Wu Tianjiao nodded, feeling that what Wang De said was reasonable, he immediately looked around the generals present and asked: Who would lead the troops to harass the enemy?
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Peng stood up and bowed and said: Your Highness, I will never be willing to go!
After looking at Jin Peng, Wu Tianjiao nodded and said: Very good! Jin Peng, you lead three thousand brothers to harass the enemy from the north of the city!
Yes! Your Highness! Jin Peng bowed to receive the order
Wu Tianjiao asked again: Who would sneak into the city and investigate the enemy's situation?
This time, no one here volunteered
These generals can charge in front of the two armies, but they are not suitable for lurking operations. I am afraid that they will be discovered by the enemy's post if they are not even close to the city wall.
Seeing that no one was talking around, Li Suhua, the captain of the guard, came to the case and bowed: Your Highness, I am willing to go!
Wu Tianjiao was waiting for this sentence. As a master of the Yasha clan, he is more suitable for lurking, night attacks, and exploration tasks than anyone else.
He nodded, but he reminded him with concern: Suhua, General Jinpeng is harassing the north of the city. You can search for opportunities from the south of the city to sneak into the city. Remember, if you can enter, you can enter. If the enemy finds the traces or finds something wrong, withdraw immediately, don't force it!
Understanding! Li Suhua bowed and received the order
Wu Tianjiao made arrangements, while sending people to harass the night, playing the role of making a sound attack on the west, while sending Li Suhua to secretly sneak into Tianyuan City.
According to Wu Tianjiao's intention, Jin Peng led three thousand independent soldiers out of the Beiying and headed straight to Tianyuan City. When he was about to approach the opponent's range, he ordered the entire army to stop advancing. Then he carried a long sword and urged his horse to go forward, shouting loudly in front of the two armies, asking the Shura general to leave the city and fight him.
Seeing that the Independence Army had another movement, the Shura Army stationed in the North City became nervous. The Shura soldiers all climbed up the city wall, took bows and arrows, and were ready for battle.
No matter how unpleasant Jin Peng's scolding was, the generals in the Shura army just stayed behind closed doors.
After shouting for a while, Jin Peng was tired, and then he asked his soldiers to scold him.
The independent soldiers shouted, but they were not as polite and subtle as Jin Peng. They scolded them all in all the eighteen generations of women who were ancestors of Shura soldiers on the top of the city.
These three thousand independent soldiers pulled up a long row in front of the city, holding their strength one by one, cursing with a blushing face and thick neck. Someone deliberately beat dozens of barrels of water and put it in the crowd. If they were tired or thirsty, they could just take a can of water to moisten their throats and continue cursing, as if they didn't scold the other party out of the city, they wouldn't give up this night.
Any general with a little bloody nature who sees this scene will not be able to bear such insults when he hears this.
Sure enough, a Shura general could not bear the scolding of the Independence Army, roared like thunder, and sent people to open the city gate, rushed out, and rode his horse straight for Jinpeng.
Seeing a Shura general appearing in the city, Jin Peng smiled and shouted: Come and be the general's common name!
The Shura general was full of anger and extremely powerful. He urged his horse to approach Jin Peng and shouted: Go to hell!
As he spoke, he swept across and grabbed Jin Peng's throat.
Moreover, since the Independence Army launched its army, Yan Tong has been strengthening the city defense of Tianyuan City, so that the city walls are more than 100 meters long on the original basis.
