Chapter 211 Battle Ruoergai City
The fire in the town burned until dawn, and the whole town was completely ruined, but there was always something to collect, such as talismans, gold coins, and so on. Early the next morning, a drizzle began to fall from the sky, which suppressed the last ignition of the town.
The militia continued to pack up their belongings, and when they entered the town, they were all stunned by the scene in the town, almost from the four main streets of the town, covered with dense corpses, and the closer they got to the town gate, the more corpses came.
No wonder there were still people rushing out of the fire in such a big fire last night, it turned out that the Qiang people were willing to use their bodies to pave the way for the soldiers behind. Up to now, the corpses in the whole town are still a little steaming, which makes the militia cleaning the battlefield feel like vomiting, especially those human flesh and horse meat that have been roasted, as soon as they touch it, the meat on their bodies will fall down, and even some of the timid militiamen are so frightened that they scream.
In the end, he collected a large number of talismans and gold coins in the town, and of course, after destroying the town, he got a village building order, for which Yunji was very happy.
The army, which had rested for half a night, finally began to assemble after dawn and rushed towards the city of Ruoergai, and the 150,000 men and horses could be said to be overwhelming when they ran, pressing all the way.
When the army came to the city of Ruoergai, it was found that the entire city of Ruoergai could be said to be heavily guarded, only to see that the eastern city wall was full of soldiers, all of them were bows and strings, and there were a large number of pikemen and sword and shield soldiers in front, and there were a large number of arrow towers behind them, and the arrow towers were also full of archers.
Yunji circled around this city, only to find that although this city is a small city, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the small city is built in the middle of the mountain, leaving only an entrance and exit in the east.
Zangba sent troops to test it, and found that as soon as they walked into the shooting range of the Qiang people, the Qiang people would release arrows to shoot, looking at the arrows like rain, Yun Ji was also very helpless, so he had to call the soldiers back.
So the whole army began to camp at a distance of ten miles from the city wall, and in less than two quarters of an hour the whole camp was built, and the whole camp was finished in the shape of a glyph, and divided the whole army into three parts, each of which was separated by a stone's throw in between. After the inspection, Yun Ji immediately returned to the middle camp.
When he arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, Yun Ji looked unhappy, and immediately summoned Jia Xu and the generals to discuss how to attack the small city, and at the same time asked the craftsmen of the army to immediately prepare ladders and chariots for the siege of the city.
After a while, the generals came to the camp, and they also knew that Yun Ji was in a bad mood, so they didn't say much.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the Qiang people occupy the small city, and we want to capture the small city, now think about whether there is a way to defeat the small city."
"Lord, we can directly send troops to attack, so that we can win the battle, but there may be greater losses." Pan Zhang was the first to stand up and give his opinion.
Next, many people were attached for a while, and only Huang Zhong and Jia Xu did not speak, Huang Zhong knew that Yunji did not want to have a big loss, and Jia Xu was also thinking about how to capture the small city of the Qiang people.
"Hansheng, tell me, is there a good way?"
"My lord, we can attack with catapults, and first defeat the Qiang people's defenses, especially the largest arrow tower against the army." Huang Zhong immediately stood up, "Then we'll figure out a way." ”
"That's a good idea." Indeed, when he came, Yunji also prepared ten stone-carrying carts, which were still ten large catapults left behind during the attack on Kizil City, and if they broke down, there would not even be a place to repair them. Usually Yunji is very babyy, but this time I can't help but think of using a catapult, and the ladder and the car can be done now, and the technical content is not high.
"Wenhe, what good can you do?"
"Lord, my method is not very mature, for a while, let's discuss it with the lord alone!"
Then, no one came up with any way to do it, so they had to break up the meeting, and at the same time, they brought out all ten catapults.
"Xuan Gao, for a while, you take your exclusive soldiers to protect these ten cars for me, Pan Zhang, you lead the cavalry to keep an eye on me in the back, once the Qiang people come out, shoot me with a bow and arrow, if you have the opportunity, rush to the city, you must not let go of the opportunity."
"Don't be in a daze for the others, prepare the army for me, once the front starts, immediately press the whole army in the shortest possible time, and see if I can take the small city for me."
After listening to Yun Ji's words, everyone also knew that it was a time of war, and they dared to delay more, and immediately went back to reorganize the army, and no one left the horse, the horse did not leave the saddle, and was ready to set off at any time.
When everyone walked out, Yun Ji looked at Jia Xu, Jia Xu smiled at Yun Ji: "Lord, don't worry, now we are the attacker, now it depends on the situation in the afternoon, if the afternoon is good, then, we don't need my plan, don't we?" ”
Then Jia Xu didn't say anything, and leisurely tasted the tea again. Yun Ji couldn't do anything about him, so he just let him go.
Besides, Zangba got ten catapults, and immediately organized people to find a place to collect stones, and after half an hour, he collected nearly 2,000 pieces, and then brought out all his 20,000 heavy shield soldiers, escorted the catapults to the outside of the city, placed the catapults 150 meters away from the city wall, lined up the catapults, and let the pitchers start to load stones to start bombarding the Qiang people on the city wall.
Then I heard a terrible cry from the city wall, and some soldiers were smashed, but this was just the beginning, and then, the stones flew to the city wall like raindrops, and after a while, this section of the city wall was emptied, and the most stone of the arrow tower behind it was also shaken, and some began to collapse, and a terrible cry continued to spread in all directions.
One section of the wall was emptied, and of course the Tibetan lord did not stop there, and then moved the catapult to the side of another section of the wall and began to throw stones, and this scene was constantly played out on the city wall.
The leader of the city also knew about this matter, and knew that it must be dealt with, otherwise the morale would be low and he would be self-defeating, but when he reached the city wall, he found that it was much more serious than he had imagined. A quarter of the kilometer-long wall had been knocked out, and if it went on like this, there would be no need to fight, and the city wall might be defended without danger tonight.
The leader immediately sent several generals, led a large number of cavalry, ready to destroy the catapult, the city gate opened in a creak, and then rushed out of it a large number of cavalry rushed to the catapult, to be honest, 150 meters, it didn't take long to arrive, just three breaths, these cavalry crashed into the heavy shield soldiers of the Tibetan tyrant.
When a torrent crashed into the black peak, the mountain stood still, but the cavalry was knocked on their backs, broken bones and legs, and the black peak was knocked back several steps. It can be seen how great its impact force is.
