Chapter 205: The First Battle
"The rest of us are going to rest, and I will fight tomorrow morning!"
The drums of war shook the sky.
When the dawn of the morning sun shone on the head of Jingling City, the Jianghuai army launched wave after wave of attacks from all directions, shouting to kill the heavens.
At this time, they have cut off the source of the moat, the moat of Jingling County is directly from the Han River, yesterday Yang Yi led people from the Han River to the city of Jingling County by boat; Du Fuwei not only filled in the river overnight, but also filled a large section of the moat outside the main city gate with sand and stones, this amount of work is not small, and the night filling, even if the moonlight was good yesterday, it is also extremely dangerous, I don't know how many dead and wounded!
When Yang Yi took the generals to climb the city tower at this time, he saw the enemy's army slowly pouring into the plain between the city wall and the Han River, and the big banner with the word "Du" fluttering in the wind at the Chinese army, the army was prosperous and powerful.
The arrows and arrows on the head of the city rained down like drops, and after crushing another offensive of the Jianghuai army, the enemy was regrouping.
At the time of the battle in the original plot, although Jingling County did not have much loss in troops, the high-level soldiers were almost slaughtered by Wanwan, but Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were still able to hold on to Jingling County with the old, weak, sick and disabled, although there is a protagonist halo, but the weakness of Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army can also be seen!
Wei Chi Jingde barely closed his eyes this night, taking over the defenders of a city is not a simple matter, under the combination of grace and power, after this night, it can only be regarded as barely controllable.
Yang Yi asked, "How many available soldiers are there in Jingling?" ”
Wei Chi Jingde replied at this time: "There were originally more than 30,000 troops in the city, if you add the strong men who were temporarily reorganized and enlisted at this time, there are 50,000 people, and the original army of Jingling County is divided into seven armies, with Fang Zetao's personal guard force having the largest number of troops, with a strength of about 8,000 people, and the other armies have 4,000 people each, and the guards of each army are all there except for that Qian Yun!" ”
After Wei Chi Jingde finished speaking, the generals of the original Jingling County were all at his signal at this time, and they all stepped forward to salute Yang Yi one by one!
After Yang Yi received them one by one, he nodded and said: "There are about 80,000 Jianghuai troops outside the city, most of them are strong men who have been brought in, and the real combat power is similar to our army, it should be about 30,000 people, where did Du Fuwei come from, and dare to attack Jingling City with this military strength alone?" ”
Feng Ge interjected at this time: "The last general thinks that the Sui army in various places was corrupt before, and most of the elites were transferred to the northern border passes, and the troops in the south were weak, so Du Fuwei could crisscross the north and south of the river, and he was invincible. But now that His Royal Highness is here, Du Fuwei must sink into the sand! ”
If it were the original plot, at this time, Jingling County was facing Du Fuwei, who was invincible in the battle for hegemony, and his own side was losing his troops and losing his troops, and the people were panicked and in chaos, then Feng Ge would definitely not be as safe as he is now.
Seeing that the Jianghuai army under the city was still sending troops to set up the formation, Yang Yi looked at Feng Ge at this time and said: "General Feng Ge has worked hard for my Great Sui so far, and the palace has to be rewarded. ”
Feng Ge hurriedly thanked him!
After Yang Yixu helped him up, he said: "If the situation is like today, there are many opportunities for you to make meritorious contributions, I hope you will do your best, and this palace will naturally reward you!" ”
Then he said to Wei Chi Jingde: "The military strength of Fang Zetao's department and Qian Yun's command, Wei Chi, you will choose half of them and put them under your command, and this palace will give you the name "Flying Bear Guard"!" You can recruit brave warriors on your own! ”
Wei Chi Jingde immediately responded, he naturally heard Yang Yi's hidden words, this was to let him dig more corners from Jingling County! The number of a guard is 10,000 people, and the soldiers are easy to recruit, but the soldiers are not easy.
How can a general of a county be compared to a general of a guard? Not only the rank, but also the resources obtained are different, and any general and general of Wei has the right to command 100,000 troops!
Leaving it to the generals to arrange the handover, Yang Yizhuo stood at the head of the wall, and outside the city was the Jianghuai Army with a peak military appearance and a flag like a sea, and the number of people in this front had increased to 40,000 at this time.
Duvowe's central army was laid out on a small knoll, with cavalry as the main force and heavily equipped armoured troops as the second.
The vanguard army consisted of shield soldiers, archers, axemen, and fortifications, and was equipped with the necessary tools for siege, such as alberjacks, ladders, and building carts.
The left and right flank armies each had 5,000 men, and all of them were cavalry.
There were still two units in the rear of the Chinese army, which could be used to defend the rear road and serve as reinforcements.
At this time, the sun rises in the middle of the sky, shining on the earth, reflecting the shimmering brilliance of weapons, adding to the atmosphere of killing.
The drums of war are beating.
More than 70 iron vertical cars dedicated to blocking arrows began to move in the direction of Jingling, and there were more than 10 archers hidden behind each vehicle, as long as they reached an appropriate distance, they could shoot arrows from behind the large iron plate that was two feet high to cover the attack of others.
Yang Yi will not underestimate the Jianghuai army too much, as long as he thinks that the Jianghuai army can conquer even the kind of fortified city in Liyang, he knows that these iron-plated cars that seem to have no sense of beauty at all and are just like tombstones are not a joke, and Lingjun is only a city at the same level as Liyang, and when Du Fuwei attacked Liyang, he must not have the strength he has today.
The castle car began to advance, moving towards the city wall like a tower.
Because the height of the cart is similar to that of the wall, not only can the entire city be shrouded in the range of arrows, but when it is attached to the wall, the warriors can also directly step on the wall and attack the city.
The trumpets sounded.
Hundreds of catapults, driven by hundreds of fortifications of the Jianghuai Army, came first, crossed the building trucks, and chased after the iron-plated vehicles that blocked the arrows.
At this time, tens of thousands of Jianghuai troops shouted together, and the war horses neighed wildly, which changed the color of the situation outside the city.
It's not a rabble, Yang Yi looks at this face-to-face scheduling, and it's not bad with the ordinary Sui army, but it's just inferior in terms of equipment!
Seeing that the morale of the generals in the city was a little low, Yang Yi stood at the head of the city and said loudly: "Yang Yi is here, Du Fuwei, do you dare to fight!" ”
Her voice spread far away, crisp and crisp, and even the shouts of tens of millions of Jianghuai soldiers could not overshadow it.
The soldiers and civilians defending the city were frightened by the other side's systematic and organized large-scale attack, and their morale plummeted, but after hearing the sound, their morale was greatly boosted, and they shouted in unison, shaking the heavens and the earth, and their blood was boiling.
Since Yang Yi defeated Bi Xuan by repelling the invading Golden Wolf Army, his reputation has spread all over the world, and Ning Daoqi, who has been famous for decades and has always been the number one master in the Central Plains, is already ranked second at this time!
And if you are martial today, who is not excited to know that there are masters like Yang Yi on their side! Not to mention that the military strength under Yang Yi is also extraordinary, defeating the war horses captured by the Turkic Golden Wolf Army, and now they are still armed with tens of thousands of cavalry, who can stop it!
The Jianghuai army under the city is stagnant at this time!
