Chapter 47: Capture the city
It is implied in the book that Zhao Kuo learned from the surrendered Wei generals that the border fortress was just a fictitious one, and what really played a role was a dangerous pass, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and was not conducive to the march of the army.
"Dangerous!"
Zhao Kuo frowned when he heard this, and Mu Chen on the side disagreed, "King, Mu Chen is willing to fight in the front, no matter how dangerous it is, I guarantee that it will be defeated within three days." ”
Zhao Kuo shook his head, "The soldiers are expensive, three days is too long, and it is inevitable that there will be variables, and the only way to capture the pass is to capture it as quickly as possible." ”
"How fast is the fastest?"
"Half a day."
Mu Chen shook his head, "No, absolutely not, I can't beat it for half a day." ”
Zhao Kuo's eyes fell on the soldiers of the Wei State on the side, and a smile appeared on his face, "With this method, half a day is enough!" ”
The elite of Zhao State changed into Wei army clothes one after another, the purpose was to open the city gate by fraud, Mu Chen and Bai Ying pretended to be personal soldiers and followed General Biansai into the pass, first, to protect the safety of the other party, and secondly, to capture the other party's main general by surprise.
Mu Chen strangled the other party's neck, the man tried to break free, Mu Chen's arm exerted force, "Be honest with Lao Tzu." Time passed slowly, the army of Zhao rushed in, the inside and the outside should be united, the resistance of the Wei army was killed one after another, seeing that the lord was captured, the remaining soldiers gave up resistance.
"Boy, I know how powerful your Grandpa Muchen is!"
Mu Chen's arm was released, and then he saw that the man's tongue was sticking out of the elder, and his eyes were protruding, most of which were strangled directly by too much force.
"The general is really a divine power."
The surrender of the Wei generals was praised again and again, and his heart was furious, if it was not for the decisive sacrifice of the city, the fate would be almost the same as the person in front of him, and the bravery of the Zhao army was completely in his eyes, and it was not at all that the Wei army could resist.
Zhao Kuo entered the city, occupied the pass, there was no obstacle ahead, the soldiers were strange, and immediately sent troops, "Thunder, black bull!" ”
The two of them flashed out quickly, "Order the two of you to command 20,000 troops to attack Bicheng." ”
"The last general commands!"
"Zhang He and Erwa commanded 20,000 troops to attack Yecheng."
"Li Mu commanded 30,000 troops to attack Shaoliang, and the rest of the generals marched in the middle to take Daliang."
The capital of Wei in the city of Liang, the three main cities echo each other from afar, like three barriers, Zhao Kuo is familiar with the art of war and does not know the mystery, the king of Wei will not give up the Liang lightly, the best way is to make the Liang City completely isolated and force the other party to submit.
The victory without a fight is the upper battle, and there are too many casualties in the siege battle, and it must be the army of Qin that must be faced in the end, not the likes of Han and Wei.
The three-way army marched, Lei Meng and the black bull urged the war horses, the front was all cavalry, the middle was a bow and crossbow, the rear infantry was accompanied by supplies, only three days of dry food, and siege equipment was indispensable.
The black bull urged the horse to keep up, "General, Bicheng is ahead, it's better to slow down, and wait for the army to keep up with the equipment before attacking the city!" ”
Lei Meng nodded, "It's okay, the Wei army must be in the dark at this time and have a sweet dream, and attack the city immediately after nightfall tonight." ”
Bicheng
The guards are not happy to hug the left and the right, there are all kinds of wine and food, compared to Yecheng and Shaoliang, Bicheng is small but rich, the most important thing is that most of the women here are moistened by the mountains and rivers and grow up extraordinarily smart.
There were two people sitting below, all drunk, and a woman lying in their arms, with silky eyes, calling the general in a low voice, like a bone-piercing elixir that made people numb.
One of them raised his wine glass, "Congratulations to the general for receiving the king's reward." ”
The lord will be proud in his heart, and he has a merit in exterminating the bandits, and the king ordered someone to send a reward, including wine and meat, so he simply called the deputy general to have fun, naturally there can be no less women, so it is not a lot of fun.
"It's a trivial matter, but it's just a few hundred bandits."
Another person said: "These bandits have been occupied for a long time, and several encirclements and suppressions have failed, but only after the general comes, he will be calmed down in one fell swoop, which shows the ability of the general!" ”
The Lord will laugh and say, "Drink." ”
At night, the Lei Meng army slowly approached under the cover of night, and the defense of Bicheng was relatively lax, which must have been due to the fact that there was no war for a long time, and the main general was negligent, and there were only dozens of soldiers on the city wall.
"Occupy the city wall first and open the city gate, black bull, take your people to the city wall, if the other party resists, shoot directly."
"Good!"
Lei Meng waved his arm, and a team of people flashed out of the camp, dressed in black, with flexible movements, and went straight to the city wall with light feet, Lei Meng and the others saw it clearly, and the figure of Dao Dao approached the city wall, took out the flying tiger claw from his arms, and put his ears on the city wall, judging the position of the soldiers in the city.
The flying tiger's claws hit and pulled hard, and the legs exerted force, and the whole person jumped up directly for several feet, using both hands and feet, but jumped on the city wall in an instant, turned over, and the dagger hidden in his waist was directly withdrawn, and the body jumped up to check the surrounding form in an instant, and it was only one step away from the nearest Wei soldier.
The team responsible for the night attack siege has undergone special training, and its movements are extremely light, and they know how to rely on their bodies to reduce the sound when they fall, and their bodies jump up, and their bodies turn around, and their left hands directly cover the opponent's mouth and nose, and their right hands take advantage of the situation.
Above the city walls, the situation was almost the same, and most of the soldiers defending the city were leaning against the city walls with their spears and napping, unaware of the danger.
One person made a gesture, the black shadow moved forward quickly, close to more than 100 guards quickly cleared, the torches poked out and looked down, there was still a team of men and horses at the city gate, no less than 100 people, the torches shook a few times, and a group of infantry flashed out of the camp, quickly approaching the city gate, just waiting for the city gate to occupy the city gate and quickly grab it to facilitate the cavalry to enter the city.
Dao Dao's figure fell, and suddenly a burst of speech sounded, and the person stopped directly with his arm in the air, and he saw that the two of them were carrying pants, most of them were urgent, so it was convenient to get up.
Only one person said: "The general brought back two women, and the tender ones can be pinched out of the water." ”
"Have you pinched it?"
"If you can, don't say it's water, even pinch it out for her." After speaking, gesture with your hand.
"Your kid has a bad stomach, hurry up and pee, and go back to sleep after urinating."
There was a commotion, he shook twice, pulled his pants and turned to leave, the figure was far away, his arm loosened and fell quickly, and the slaughter began completely at this moment.
The sharp dagger hit the key point directly, the action was clean and neat, the sound came out, a person opened his eyes, and saw a black shadow with a sharp blade rushing in his hand, ah, the shout had not yet been issued, the neck was cold, and the whole person fell directly.
"Open the gates, quick."
A few people quickly stepped forward, there were three bolts on the heavy city gate, which could strengthen the city gate to the greatest extent, the bolt was removed, and everyone worked together, crunching, crunching sounds, and it came out in the night.
One of them turned back, "What a voice!" ”
The man next to him smiled: "Where did the voice come from, is it that you kid thinks about women every day." ”
"No, it should be the city gate, Lao Tzu is famous for his ears."
The voice grew louder and louder, and the man listened carefully, "Go and see." The two men looked at it from behind a tree, and their expressions changed suddenly, but when they saw the gates of the city wide open, a group of men and horses rushed in, and they could see clearly in the light of the torches, and the guards fell to the ground, and they must have been killed.
"Someone is going to take the city!"
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
The two of them opened their throats, the Wei army guarded the camp, the soldiers had already fallen asleep, the shouts had a very limited effect, Lei Meng led the cavalry in, the torches in his hands were lit one after another, and the sound of horses' hooves shook the entire Bicheng.
The situation in Yecheng is almost the same, taking advantage of the other party's unpreparedness to open the city gate, the army entered, the defenders of Yecheng did not have the slightest power to fight back, the main general tried to resist, and finally died at the hands of the Zhao army, and the rest of the soldiers surrendered one after another.
Under the city of Shaoliang, catapults have been issued, Shaoliang is the closest to the capital beam, and the guards are also the most tight, which Zhao Kuo also has considered, Shaoliang was captured by Li Mu, who is the best at fighting, and the strength also reached 30,000.
Li Mu resisted Shaoliang, the spies reported, Shaoliang City was well defended, and it was impossible to attack the city at night, so he simply set up camp, and the three watches started to drum, taking advantage of the dawn to attack the city.
Zhao Jun don't want to rush up, Shaoliang's defense is also tight, how can the troops be insufficient, Zhao Jun catapult keeps smashing, the defenders of the city have been hit by boulders, the catapult is powerful and accurate in the past, Zhao Guo catapult can be launched after being transformed to aim to the maximum.
"Cast!"
Another round of boulders fell on the city wall, the defenders were hit by the boulders, the Zhao army attacking the city below took the opportunity to launch an offensive, several camps rushed to attack, Shaoliang guards in the eyes, and then all the troops had to be compensated, the most important thing is that they could not stop the Zhao army at all.
"Retreat."
The order was issued, and the Wei army defending the city quickly retreated, and in the face of the powerful offensive of the Zhao army, he retreated early, and saw his companions being smashed by boulders and his flesh and blood blurred, and the horror in his heart can be imagined.
