Chapter 1121: Break the city easily

Hua'an's conditions are very harsh, and Tuyuhun King Sha Xi will definitely not agree, but since Tu Gu Hun envoy's sincerity in negotiating peace is very high, even if he knows that Sha Xi cannot agree, Hua An has to say his own conditions to show that he has given Tu Gu Hun a chance.

When the envoy of Tuyuhun heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously, this condition is still too much, there are only a few hundred cities in Tuyuhun in total, if a hundred cities are ceded, then Tuyuhun will be greatly injured, at the same time, as the king of a country in Tuyuhun, how can he personally go to Luoyang City to confess his guilt to the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it is not difficult to make Tuyuhun surrender and pay tribute, but it is very unrealistic to allow 50,000 Jin troops to be stationed in Tuyuhun, after all, in this way, The entire Tuyuhun will be under the control of the Jin army, and the king of Tuyuhun will become the puppet of the Great Jin, how different is this from the death of the country? Besides, King Tuyuhun personally went to Luoyang City to apologize, and the safety was very worrying, in case Dajin refused to forgive King Tuyuhun and beheaded him in Luoyang City, wouldn't it be very bad.

"King Bei, are these conditions a little too high, can you ...... them?" the Tuyuhun envoy discussed in a low voice.

"Nope." Hua An shouted: "When Tuyuhun soldiers and horses attacked my Liangzhou and slaughtered my people in the Great Jin Dynasty, did you ever think that there would be today. ”

"The king of the north, the king of my family, is really bewitched by traitors, and he never intends to be an enemy of the Great Jin, and I hope the king will bear with me." Tuyuhun envoy said pleadingly.

Hua An snorted and said loudly: "This king can be tolerant, but what about the people who were slaughtered in my Great Jin, if this king doesn't make decisions for them, they will die blindly." ”

"The Northern King ...... Angry"

"Okay, if the envoy has nothing else to do, please go back!" Huaan issued an eviction order.

"The minister took his leave." Tuyuhun had no choice but to leave.

After Tuyuhun's envoys left, Hua An looked at several henchmen and said, "Tuyuhun wants to negotiate peace." It's really wishful thinking, if this king doesn't take this opportunity to annihilate Tuyuhun in one fell swoop, won't he leave a disaster. ”

"The king is Shengming, Tuyuhun is a big country in the west. There are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the territory is very vast, and such a great power must be annihilated to prevent a sudden rise in the future, posing a mortal threat to our Great Jin. A subordinate general said.

"Yes! It's still safer to really knock Tuyuhun down. In this way, there is more than one road to Liangzhou in my Great Jin to the Western Regions, and there is no risk of being choked off. Another ministry general agreed with Huaan's decision.

Hua An nodded happily, looked at the generals under his command, and said: "After we exterminate Tuyuhun this time, we will continue to advance westward, and recover the Western Regions in one fell swoop, and expand the influence of my Great Jin to the west." ”

"We are willing to follow the king to the death, exterminate Tuyuhun, and recover the Western Regions." The generals said loudly.

Hua An nodded in satisfaction. He expressed his satisfaction with the minister's statement.

After resting for the night, Hua An personally led the main army to march in the direction of the retreat of the main army of Tuyuhun, preparing to annihilate the main army of Tuyuhun in one fell swoop.

The main army of Tuyuhun was all stationed in Xiqiangcheng, and after they learned of the request made by the Great Jin, they all felt angry and helpless, and even a little afraid.

"Your Majesty, the Jin Kingdom has made such an excessive request, which is obviously without any sincerity for peace, and we must not agree to it." A Tuyuhun general said.

"That's right. Your Majesty, since the Jin Kingdom has no sincerity to negotiate peace, then we will have a bloody war with the Jin Kingdom to the end, who is afraid of whom! "A general plucked up courage. Said loudly.

It is naturally impossible for the king of Tuyuhun to agree to Hua'an's request, after all, this request is too much, and he actually asked him to go to Luoyang City in person to ask for the guilt, and he simply didn't take it seriously, and ceding a hundred cities was cutting Tuyuhun's meat. He could not even agree, although after the Jin army launched an attack, it was very likely that they would seize these cities, but the capture was capture, and it could not be compared with the humiliation of cession.

"Even if this king dies in battle, he will never accept the peace conditions of the Jin Kingdom, this king is the king of Tuyuhun, not a puppet of the Jin Kingdom." Broken Xi loudly expressed his determination.

"We will follow the king to the death." The Tuyuhun generals shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, now that the main force of the Jin army has been slaughtered towards our army, we must prepare for war and give the Jin army a head-on blow." A Tuyuhun general said loudly.

Sha Xi nodded, and ordered loudly: "Order the whole army to repair the city wall and prepare to meet the enemy." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Subsequently, the main force of Tuyuhun was busy in Xiqiangcheng, repairing the city walls and preparing various materials to defend the city to resist the attack of the main army of the Jin army.

Two days later, the main force of the Jin army led by Hua An and the Thunderstorm Army arrived at the Xiqiang City at the same time, and joined forces to prepare to attack the Xiqiang City.

At this time, after the convergence of the two Jin armies, there were nearly 170,000 soldiers and horses, and the strength was very large, which formed a huge military advantage for the Tuyuhun army stationed in the western strong city, and the Jin army was all elite divisions, and the equipment and logistics supplies were far superior to the Tuyuhun army, and the gap in strength was still quite obvious.

In the Jin army's big tent, Hua An seemed very happy, Tuyuhun's main army actually played to defend the city, which really made him quite excited, after all, the Tuyuhun army is relatively weak, if you flee in all directions, it is more difficult to deal with, but the stupid Tuyuhun king Shaxi, actually let the soldiers and horses under his command defend the Xiqiang city, this is completely self-defeating, as long as the Jin army will fully surround the Xiqiang city, you can besiege all the main forces of Tuyuhun in the city, so as to annihilate it in one fell swoop.

"Your Majesty, the main army of Tuyuhun is actually all stationed in Xiqiang City, and it seems that it is preparing to defend Xiqiang City." Wang San said loudly.

Hua An smiled and said: "You are right, judging from the deployment of the Tuyuhun army, it is preparing to fight our army in Xiqiang City, but this is a good thing for our army, at least, there is no need to look for Tuyuhun's main force everywhere, as long as Xiqiang City is surrounded, everything will be under control." ”

"What the king said is, however, Tuyuhun soldiers and horses are guarding the city, and there are city walls as a backing, so wouldn't it be a great loss for our army to attack the city." Wang San frowned and said.

Hua An nodded and said softly: "It's true that there are some losses, but this king has brought the secret weapon this time, and the destruction of the city is just an overnight moment." ”

When Wang San heard this, he immediately understood. Hua'an brought thunderbolts that could burst violently, and this new weapon was so powerful that if there were enough of them, it could blast a hole in the entire city wall. Not to mention blowing up the city gate, it is not difficult to break through the Xiqiang City at all, and if a large number of thunderbolt cars are built temporarily, it is completely possible to see the ignited thunderbolts thrown into the Xiqiang City. As a result, it caused great damage to the Tuyuhun defenders in the city.

"Your Majesty, since the secret weapon has been brought, it is better to build a siege thunderbolt immediately, and then there will be Tuyuhun beautiful." Wang San suggested softly.

Hua An nodded with a smile, looked at a general, and said: "The core parts of the five hundred thunderbolt cars are all in place, and five hundred thunderbolts can be built in one day and one night, so that the soldiers can start building immediately, and launch the siege tomorrow night." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The generals commanded. And immediately go to prepare.

Subsequently, Hua'an inspected the various troops and asked them to be vigilant to prevent the Tuyuhun soldiers and horses from suddenly killing out of the city.

After a day and a night of preparation, on the evening of the second day, the Jin army's 500 thunderbolt cars had all been prepared, and the Tuyuhun army defending the city had also prepared very sufficient materials to defend the city, and waited for the Jin army to attack the city, giving the Jin army a fatal blow.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Our army is well prepared, as long as the Jin army launches an attack on the city, it will inevitably give it a fatal blow. A Tuyuhun general pointed to the mountains of rolling wood and stones on the city wall and said confidently.

Broken Xi nodded in satisfaction. And admonished: "The Jin army has set up a thunderbolt to break through the thunderbolt car, and it looks like it will soon attack the city, so you must not be careless, and you must closely watch every move of the Jin army." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Tuyuhun general replied loudly.

In the Jin army's big tent, Hua An looked at the generals on both sides. Zhengse said: "Generals, now the time to attack the city has come, only one round of attacks will be needed tonight to break through the Xiqiang City, however, the goal of our army should not be to break through the city, but to annihilate the main army of Tuyuhun, therefore, the task of frontal siege is handed over to the Shuzhong Army and the Guanzhong Army, the main force of 100,000 cavalry is on standby in the northwest of Xiqiang City, this king estimates that once the Xiqiang City is breached, the Tuyuhun army will definitely flee to the northwest, and when the time comes, the main force of our army of 100,000 can fight a decisive battle with the main force of Tuyuhun. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will receive the command." The ministers will lead with a loud voice.

Half an hour later, nearly 170,000 Jin soldiers and horses were all in place, and as long as Hua'an gave an order, they could attack in the direction of the strong city in the west.

Hua An walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, led his generals and personal soldiers, and rode his horse to a position less than two miles away from the east gate of Xiqiang City to observe the situation of Xiqiang City.

At this moment, the main force of the 100,000 Jin army, under the leadership of Wang San, has quietly infiltrated the northwest of Xiqiang City, and the soldiers and horses who are preparing to launch a siege battle are the Guanzhong Legion and the Shuzhong Legion.

"Your Majesty, the whole army is ready to launch an attack at any time." Thunderstorm shouted for his life.

Hua An looked at the thunderstorm, feeling that this iron-clad man was not much different from many years ago, and he still respected himself very much, and he couldn't help but be very satisfied.

"Pass the order, and the army will immediately launch a strong attack on the strong city in the west." Huaan gave the order to attack.

Thunderstorm received the order and immediately conveyed the order to attack step by step.

"Knock knock knock......" The Jin army's hundreds of war drums sounded deafening drums at the same time.

Suddenly, five hundred thunderbolts ignited the thunderbolts at the same time and threw them out.

The "boom, boom, boom......" thunderbolt cracked through the city walls, producing a blinding flash of fire and a loud noise.

The Tuyuhun army had never seen such a secret weapon before, and suddenly looked extremely flustered, and scurried back and forth on the city wall in an attempt to dodge this powerful secret weapon.

After a thunderbolt attack, many Tuyuhun soldiers were killed and wounded, and the walls of Xiqiang City were in chaos, and the sound of wailing was everywhere.

The thunderbolts of the Jin army were still coming, but the Tuyuhun army could no longer bear the damage caused by this weapon, so everyone who could still move withdrew from the city wall and ran to a safe position in the city.

Tuyuhun King Sha Xi was originally on the city gate tower to supervise the battle, but the Jin army's thunderbolt made him frightened, and felt a deep fear, under the protection of his henchmen and personal soldiers, Sha Xi retreated into a safe position in the city without injury, while many of the soldiers under his command were already limb.

Sha Xi looked at the generals under his command with a frightened face, frowned and asked, "How can the Jin army's thunderbolt have such great power, what the hell is this?" ”

Naturally, none of the Tuyuhun generals had seen the thunderbolt of the Jin army, so they naturally didn't know how to answer, and looked at each other, their eyes full of fear and confusion.

"Your Majesty, when the last general went to Guanzhong many years ago, he had heard of this kind of thing, but there were very few Jin troops in recent years, so he didn't know too much about this kind of thing, only that this was a very powerful siege ammunition." A Tuyuhun general Zhengse said.

"Your Majesty, the Jin army has this kind of siege ammunition, and our army can't defend the city at all! The soldiers on the head of the city were killed and injured a lot, and the piles of rolling logs were all set on fire, and the Xiqiang City was afraid that it would not be able to hold it. A general said anxiously.

"Your Majesty, it seems that we can't defend the city against the Jin army, and the casualties are greater than the field battles!" Another Tuyuhun general said loudly.

Sha Xi sighed, looked at the soldiers who were fleeing from the city wall, and looked very helpless, the Jin army's thunderbolts were too powerful, and it was simply self-defeating to defend the city wall.

"Your Majesty, the Jin army's thunderbolt bombs are too strong, and the city is already undefendable, so let's evacuate as soon as possible!" One of the generals exhorted loudly.

Shatter Xi sighed and ordered loudly: "Retreat, the whole army immediately evacuates the city from the west gate and the north gate." ”

After receiving the order, the Tuyuhun generals immediately led their subordinates to escape from the Xiqiang City from the West Gate and the North Gate.

Just when the Tuyuhun army had begun to flee, the Jin army's thunderbolt began to adjust the angle to extend the shooting, while a large number of infantry rushed towards the Xiqiang City with a cloud ladder, and successfully arrived at the foot of the Xiqiang City, and set up the cloud ladder on the wall of the Xiqiang City.

A large number of sword and shield soldiers climbed along the ladder to the city wall, but there were no Tuyuhun defenders on the city wall, so soon, the Jin soldiers jumped on the city wall and began to kill the city.

After the east gate of Xiqiang City was opened, Hua'an ordered 500 thunderbolt carts to stop throwing thunderbolts, and let 70,000 attacking Dajin soldiers and horses rush into Xiqiang City and completely occupy Xiqiang City. (To be continued.) )
