Chapter 1104: The Great March (2)

Thanks to the old bird, it is a monthly ticket rewarded by my son-in-law!

At present, the Jin State has 100,000 soldiers in the province of Nanpoli, and the neighboring province of Yukan has only 100,000 people, and the province of Yukan is on the east side of the province of Nanpoli, and both provinces are close to the northern border of Kangju, and among the 200,000 troops in these two provinces, only 100,000 are the main army, and the other 100,000 are the so-called servant army, and the combat strength is limited.

Three days later, the Wei army arrived at the Horqin grassland at the junction of Kangju and Jin, where a large wooden flail was built on a raised hill on the grassland as the starting position for the army to attack Jin.

A day later, the Fourth Legion, the Xianbei Legion, the Western Regions Legion, and 100,000 servants, totaling 400,000 troops, continued to march towards the province of Kinnampoli.

At this time, the provinces of Nanpoli and Yukan were already in chaos, and the Jin people, who had learned the news of the invasion of the Wei army, fled north with their families and mouths, and the roads were full of fleeing people and all kinds of abandoned belongings, some children who had been separated from their relatives were sitting on the ground crying, and some mothers who had lost their children were shouting hysterically, and the scene was very bleak.

By the evening of the same day, the Wei army had easily broken through the border city of Dulles, which was only guarded by only 5,000 old and weak soldiers.

The Wei army marched into Dulles, and the Jin people, who were hiding at home, stole a glimpse of this army, which was originally just a legend, with fear and hatred.

The city of Nanpoli was enveloped by an oppressive atmosphere.

Barsky stood in front of the sand table and arranged the defenses of his generals.

"Got it?" Balsky asked.

The generals nodded, and one of the generals asked, "General, when will our reinforcements arrive?" ”

Barsky was silent for a moment, glanced at the generals, and said in a deep voice: "I'll tell you honestly! It's impossible for us to get any reinforcements anytime soon! We are on our own! ”

Seeing that the faces of the generals were gloomy, he couldn't help but be annoyed and said, "Cheer me up!" You are all the warriors of Daikin, the pride of the empire, and you must face any difficulties bravely! ”

The generals couldn't help but feel ashamed, and subconsciously retreated their chests.

Barsky asked one of his generals: "Vanier, have the local garrisons been assembled?" ”

The general, named Varni, replied: "The 50,000 local garrisons have been assembled, and they are now in the city, waiting for orders at any time!" ”

Barsky nodded and said to the generals: "We must hold off the Wei army!" Only by holding them back can we have the possibility of victory! ”

"Yes!" The ministers will rise up and make their promises.

Barsky drew his sword, held it on his chest, and said in a loud voice: "Swear to live and die with Namboli!" Fight the Wei army to the end! ”

All the generals drew their swords together and shouted excitedly: "Fight with the Wei army to the end!" Fight the Wei army to the end! ”

Empress Silan, who was in Shangjing, received an urgent dispatch from Nanpoli and had no choice but to order the entire southern province to be fully mobilized, and all men over the age of fourteen and under the age of fifty to take up arms.

Si Lan sat on the throne, his right hand supporting his chin, his eyes slightly closed, and there was a faint melancholy color between his eyebrows.

When the general Delov came to the palace, he couldn't help but hesitate when he saw that Queen Silan seemed to be pretending to sleep.

"What's the matter?" Queen Silan asked suddenly, sitting up straight.

Drof bowed and reported: "The tribes of the north have not accepted our order!" Here's their reply! As he spoke, he handed over a letter.

Si Lan opened the letter, was furious, slapped the armrest, and got up, "What a Du Kun!" How dare you despise my big gold! ”

Si Lan immediately calmed down and said indifferently: "This matter is put aside for the time being!" Delov, how is the mobilization going around Shangjing? ”

Delov replied: "It's going well! The enthusiasm of the people was high, and they all shouted that they would fight to the death with the Wei and the Romans! ”

Si Lan couldn't help but show a hint of relief, and muttered, "I will definitely be able to survive this!" Absolutely! ”

The 400,000-strong Wei army, led by Zhao Yun, broke through three cities in succession and arrived at the city of Nanpoli.

The Jin defenders in the city of Nampoli were tense to the extreme.

On that day, the Wei army did not launch an attack on the city of Nanpoli, but rested for a day.

That night, all the Jin soldiers and civilians of the city of Nanpoli could not sleep, Barsky and the generals sat in the place of governance and waited quietly, the soldiers gathered around the fire, and the people prayed silently, and the atmosphere in the whole city of Nanpoli was very depressing.

Early the next morning, when the war drums of the Wei army were beating, Balsky and the generals couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and Barsky muttered, "It's finally begun!" ”

Hundreds of catapults slowly advanced to the sound of war drums, emitting a dull roar.

Knock knock! The Jin army catapult on the city wall was launched, and the stone projectiles fell in the middle of the Wei army's catapult with a roar, and soldiers and the catapult after the funeral flew into the sky.

Moments later, the Wei catapults came into range and immediately began to attack the city of Nanpoli.

I saw countless tongues of fire gushing out, and the earth-shattering loud noise was connected together, and at this time, the golden man's catapult was completely suppressed.

The whistling stone projectiles fell like a meteor shower in the city of Nanpoli, the huge explosion was mixed with the screams of people when they were dying, countless pillars of smoke and fireballs rose up and down the city wall, and the golden people's catapults were lifted into the sky one by one.

The bombardment lasted for nearly half an hour, and the only two dozen catapults of the Jin defenders were all destroyed, of course, the Wei army also lost more than a dozen catapults, and the city wall in front was collapsed by the catapults, and thousands of corpses were scattered on the city wall in various postures.

As soon as Zhao Yun reined in the reins, the bright silver spear in his hand swung forward violently, and the two 10,000 people of the Fourth Legion, who had been impatient for a long time, slammed into the city wall with a cloud ladder and other siege equipment.

The artillery fire of the Wei army continued, and the whistling cannonballs swept the walls of the Jin people.

When the besieging troops advanced to a distance of only a hundred paces from the city walls, the catapults stopped firing.

"Get up! Archers come forward! Shoot! General Jin dragged the soldier who was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands and shouted.

The soldiers stood up in a daze, and many of them couldn't figure out what to do!

Before the Jin attackers could start shooting, the strong crossbowmen of the Wei army attacked first, and thousands of strong crossbowmen of the Wei army stopped at a distance of sixty paces, and then skillfully pulled the strings and loaded the arrows, and under the command of the officers, they sent a rain of arrows towards the city wall.

The rain of arrows whistled by, and the Jin soldiers screamed and fell to a large area.

The Jin army finally came to their senses, and the archers and soldiers wielding the bed crossbows began to shoot arrows at the city walls.

The Wei army rushed under the city wall with a shout, and the ladders were erected one after another. The Wei assault troops climbed up the ladder with their swords, and the Wei army charged upwards along the smashed wall.

In the blink of an eye, the two entered a brutal hand-to-hand fight. (To be continued.) )
