Chapter 165: Seeing Off (I)
Chapter 165: Sending Off (I)
There was silence between heaven and earth, Wang Hongyi himself was stunned for a moment, and when he looked left and right, he saw that all the generals and soldiers were dumbfounded, and some of them had twitching on their faces.
Zhang Youzhi was the second to come to his senses, and immediately shouted: "Lord, attack, attack! If it is not broken at this time, when will it be?"
At this time, the surrounding relatives woke up and echoed one after another.
However, there was no need to give an order, and the Shu army, which had been prepared for a hundred meters, shouted violently, deafening and boiling.
All the soldiers who were already on the front line, like the surging cháo water, didn't even bother with the flag, and pounced like crazy.
For a time, taking advantage of the city breaking, and the enemy general did not expect it, shouting to kill the sky, the gap, cháo water poured into the Shu army, just a few minutes, a large number of Shu troops poured into the city.
Almost at the same time, the Shu army beat the drums of war.
A regular and rhythmic sound, one after the other, struck straight into the hearts of the enemy and our armies.
At this time, Sun Chang stood on the city wall, his face was blue, he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and swore to the sky: "Wang Hongyi, although I die, I will turn into a ghost, the soul of Thor!"
As soon as the city was broken, the morale of the whole army was low, and although the number of people was large, it was useless, and the doom was imminent.
At this time, the generals came up to support him, but Sun Chang suddenly came to his senses, his eyes quickly swept over more than a dozen generals on the left and right, his eyes flashed blood, and he shouted: "The city is broken in front, are you willing to die with me?"
The generals agreed with a bang and decided to fight to the death.
In the shouts of killing, Nanmén suddenly opened, this is the location of the bombardment, originally chose a location not far from Nancheng, and the influx of Shu soldiers can open the city.
The city was wide open, and the surging Shu army was quickly diverted and divided into two groups, and the Shu army, which was ready to go, rushed away, and hundreds of people continued to pour into the city.
"If the city is broken, if the defenders only have 120,000, I am afraid that it will fall apart immediately, but if there are 30,000, I am afraid that there will be resistance. At this time, Zhang Yuzhi calmed down and reminded: "Lord, I'm afraid that if it can't be calmed down immediately, there will be a vicious battle." ”
"Well, Sun Chang is a famous general, and his reputation was still above my father's before, so of course he will resist. Wang Hongyi was not surprised.
Sun Chang was born in a commoner, young and tall, lifting 100 catties and traveling 100 miles a day.
Sun Chang was open-minded and generous, and he soon had prestige in the army, forming a group with him as the core.
Due to his bravery, Sun Chang was promoted to battalion chief, but he was suspicious of his commander and encountered several threats to his life.
However, Sun Chang was luckier than Qian Qingfu, in a battle, the commander was defeated and died by an arrow, and Sun Chang took the opportunity to control the remnants of the army.
At that time, Taishou had to admit his status and made him a commander.
After becoming a commander, Sun Chang fought many battles and established meritorious deeds, so he was elected to the post after the death of Taishou and became the envoy of Jiedu, with 17,000 people, and later annexed the three counties.
If it weren't for the long time it took to climb from a soldier to an officer, if it weren't for the fact that the imperial court still had strength at that time, it would not have been impossible for Sun Chang to swallow Jingzhou.
But even so, its own quality and talent cannot be erased.
Although the city is broken with fire now, it will definitely resist fiercely, and even Wang Hongyi is prepared for this.
Sure enough, although the army continued to enter, it was soon met with jī fierce resistance.
"Reported, the enemy's strength did not surrender, and many archers resisted in the alleys and buildings, and the soldiers suffered many casualties. When Wang Hongyi heard the news, he entered the city under the heavy protection of his personal guards.
There are tall buildings in the city, which can be seen far away, and you can look far outside the city and inside the city.
When I went upstairs and looked down from afar, I saw a large number of Shu troops, like cháo water, constantly pouring into Xiangyang City.
Listening to it on the city wall, the shouting of killing resounded even more throughout the world.
The people in the city have long been closed to their homes, and there is a cellar in their homes, and the whole family is hiding in it.
At this time, the fear in the hearts of ordinary people is indescribable.
Wang Hongyi watched the continuous fighting below, listened to the news that his soldiers kept transmitting back to the city, and commanded the overall situation, although he was happy, but it was not yet time for the dust to settle.
In the city, there are many residences and strongholds that are tall and strong, and there are enemy troops who resist inside, and the Shu soldiers are in a hurry.
Wang Hongyi observed for a long time and ordered: "These strongholds are difficult to take down for a while, quickly adjust the xiǎo-type speculative stones, as well as the remaining Taolei, and carry out bombing strikes to break them!"
The soldiers immediately agreed loudly and went out to give orders.
Soon, the xiǎo trebuchet was towed to various places, and it was swaggering in formation at a distance of the enemy's bow and arrow.
Seeing this scene, the enemy army all had a pale face, but they were helpless, some of them were smart, they surrendered immediately, and they had to avoid death, and those who resisted to the end stubbornly, only to see the Xiǎo trebuchet left and right, there was a commander, marked the ruler distance, and shouted: "String!"
Several sergeants pushed and turned the spokes, pulled the chord arms full, and calibrated them again.
When everything is done, order: "Release!"
Several whistling whistles broke through the air, Tao Lei fell, only to hear the sound of "boom", the enemy stronghold exploded, and suddenly fell down, and suddenly luàn.
"Kill, kill!" shouted the infantry behind him.
In a moment, dozens of thick smoke rose from the city, and flames were faintly visible, and within a radius of ten miles, the sound of killing was everywhere, even if there were trebuchets, the street fighting was still quite fierce.
In this regard, Wang Hongyi was very calm, at this time rushed into Xiangyang City, at least tens of thousands of people, no matter how fierce this street battle is, it will be impossible to recover the overall situation, and it can be trained.
You must know that the 50,000 Shu troops are not considered recruits, but they are still some distance from Wang Hongyi's requirements.
The Shu army will go through the camp every year to obtain qualified soldiers, and when they arrive in the army, they will have to conduct strict training, but these are not counting jīng soldiers, and the real way to quickly increase jīng soldiers is to raise the war with war!
If Wang Hongyi wants to compete in the world, he must have a strong and large number of jīng soldiers, and the only way to do this is to strengthen training on the one hand, and on the other hand, he will continue to invest in the battlefield to train soldiers to become jīng soldiers.
A soldier who has been on the battlefield once is stronger than a soldier who has never seen blood.
Of course, Wang Hongyi knew that there was a vicious battle in front of him, and the soldiers who rushed in would not be killed or wounded, but he was not in charge of the troops.
Now victory is in hand, and the degree of street fighting, in fact, is close to perfection, both reducing casualties and not inferior to the battlefield, so that the soldiers are fully trained.
"Even if there is a loss, it is acceptable. Wang Hongyi thought.
"After the capture of Xiangyang, the guard battalions in Shangyong New City and the second place have almost trained the recruits. Thinking of the current 50,000 Shu army, Wang Hongyi sighed softly: "Even if there is a loss, our army can be expanded to 70,000, and the number of this army is about the same." ”
"My lord, General He sent someone to bring back the news that Dongmén has been occupied by our army, and now it has controlled half of the city, and the street fighting continues. Zhang Youzhi's voice sounded on the side, reading out the report.
"I'm afraid I'm going to finish the night!" Wang Hongyi looked at the sky and said with a sigh.
I don't know why the lord suddenly sighed, Zhang Youzhi turned his head very strangely and glanced at Wang Hongyi, but he didn't see anything from Wang Hongyi's face, Zhang Youzhi's attention had to be put on the street fight again.
After a night of fighting, the sky gradually dawned.
The pale blue sky was inlaid with a few remnant stars, and at this time, the sky was slightly lù out of protein, and the clouds were gathered, as if soaked in blood, showing red sè.
"Lord, wipe your face!" At this time, the captain of the pro-soldier stepped forward, brought the basin, wrung it out with a máo towel and handed it over.
Wang Hongyi slept for a while, then got up, wiped it, and someone came in below, holding a large plate in his hand, and there were three bowls of porridge on the plate.
Wang Hongyi couldn't help but smile: "The porridge is good, it's hard for you to think of it, Zhang Qing, let's use it together!"
"Thank you, Lord Xie, the city is generally flat, that is, the Jiedu Embassy, which has been repaired the same as the inner city, and has not yet been captured. ”
It's actually the inner city.
Xiangyang City is divided into two cities, inside and outside.
The outer city was inhabited by the common people and merchants, and the inner city was the office of the officials and the territory of the great marshal, which occupied a small area, but it was like a city within a city.
Of course, the inner city, which was built after Sun Chang ascended the throne, is naturally far less defensive than the outer city wall.
"Lone knows, it's just a trapped beast. Wang Hongyi smiled, took the bowl, neither cold nor hot, took a sip, stretched out his chopsticks and ate xiǎo dishes.
Seeing this, Zhang Youzhi smiled slightly, just using it.
After drinking, everyone was shocked, and at this time they received new news.
Wang Hongyi walked step by step: "Is the interrogation clear? Sun Chang sent five people out of the city to ask for help?"
The Thirteen Divisions and Hundred Households said: "Yes, my lord, the interrogation has been clear, Sun Chang sent five people this time, each with a letter written by him, to go to different places to ask for help, and he still wanted to resist stubbornly. ”
"Have you asked about the information of the inner city?" Wang Hongyi didn't care, asking for help was just wishful thinking, and asked at this time.
Of course, he knew that some big cities would be divided into inner and outer cities, and the outer city of Xiangyang City was too strong, which made him a little anxious about the defense of the inner city.
The 100 households of the Thirteen Divisions will get the information and say: "The inner city is surrounded by open land, there are no residential houses, even the surrounding trees have been cleared, and the inner walls and walls are also considered solid, and it is difficult to get down in a hurry for a while, Sun Chang is among them, and there are still 2,000 soldiers!"
In this case, although it is considered solid, but for the Shu army, there is nothing special, as long as all the defenders of the outer city are cleared, then the trebuchet can be used to directly blast the inner city wall.
"The outer city has been cleaned up?" Wang Hongyi asked again.
"My lord, there is still sporadic resistance. ”
"Well, clean it up, repay Yu Lonely!" Even if it is sporadic resistance, it is very dangerous to hide in the corner shè cold arrow, Wang Hongyi does not need to be in a hurry.
"No!" the pro-soldiers gave the order, and a large number of Shu troops poured into Xiangyang City, and began to clean up every household.
At noon, another report came: "Report, the city has been cleared." ”
Wang Hongyi Huo's long body stood up: "At this time, this war is coming to an end, Zhang Qing, you go to the inner city with Gu to see Sun Chang off!"
