Sweep the World

It is not surprising that it took several years to conquer a city in the Cold Weapon Era, and it would be strange if a fortified city can be conquered within a few months.

　　 Most of the strongest fortresses are usually disintegrated from the inside, so there is a saying that the attacking heart is the top and the siege is the bottom. After all, no matter how strong the fortress is, people will be garrisoned. No matter how good the fortifications do not resist the determined people, what use is it?

　　In the face of Jiancheng, instead of attacking, he chose to bypass and attack weak areas, even directly ignoring Jiancheng's long to drive straight. Similar tactics are often seen in the era of cold weapons or hot weapons.

　　 Xie An really didn't want to lose too much force in attacking Jincheng, a strong city. He didn't simply think that it would appear incompetent, or because it was really unnecessary. He couldn't take no action against Jincheng. On the contrary, he wanted to show the Zhang Liang army on the north bank of the Yellow River by pretending that he must conquer Jincheng.

There is nothing to say. The Han army gathered long-range attack equipment and chose to strike the east side of Jincheng first. Every day and night, you can see stone bullets fired by rappellers and crossbow arrows fired by bed crossbows flying in the sky, and then heavy. The ground fell on the fortifications outside Jincheng, making various sounds.

"The sharpness of the Dahan's equipment is beyond imagination." Zhang Tianxi was young, not as calm as Zhang Zuo, and said with fear and dread: "The bombardment every day, even the thick walls will be smashed. collapse."

　　 The distance was too far, and it was only a blur from the naked eye. Zhang Tianxi couldn't see the extent of damage to the fortifications, but he could see that the defenders had not launched a useful counterattack.

When the Han army began bombarding the fortifications outside the city with long-range attack equipment, Zhang Chong did not sit still. He chose to send defenders out of the tunnel to try to destroy the Han army’s siege equipment, but Zhang’s Liang army’s tunnel attack did not get it. What results.

　　 The tunnels connecting the inside of the Jincheng to the outside are mostly in the Acropolis. The Acropolis was destroyed by the Han army a long time ago, and most of the tunnels had long been traced out. Some of the tunnels were destroyed and some were left deliberately. Soldiers were sent to garrison.

　　 It can be said that unless it is a tunnel entrance and exit that the Han army did not discover, otherwise the Zhang Liangjun can come out of the tunnel, but the Han army deliberately let them come out.

No matter what thoughts or goals Zhang’s Liang army had before leaving the tunnel, the next moment or not long after they leave the tunnel, they are faced with a intensive rain of arrows. A few people who were lucky enough to not die will look alive. The emergence of the Han army will be captured if they do not resist, and will be killed immediately if they are stubborn.

Only a very small number of Zhang’s Liang army escaped safely from tunnels that were not discovered in advance, but their safety could not last long, and they would be discovered by the Han army sooner or later, and then they faced an encirclement with fewer enemies and more enemies. kill.

It should be said that the tunnel offensive of Zhang's Liang army caused some trouble to the Han army, but it was only a trouble. The small Zhang's Liang army and the well-prepared Han army were definitely not a small-scale surprise attack. The final result of changing the war is to add more corpses to this war.

The tunnel offensive did not achieve the expected results. On the contrary, thousands of people were folded in. Although Zhang Chong was disappointed, he did not lose confidence in the defending city. To no avail, the defenders of the fortifications were later ordered to withdraw to the city.

The long-range attack of the Han army is really sharp. The strong crossbow arrows with a range of about 450 steps continue to cover. The crossbows with a slightly shorter range come up from time to time, and each volley of the stone dumper is even more intense. The momentum is so great that it is unable to counterattack to destroy, and it can't always make people stay where they are.

　　 Zhang Chong withdrew to the fortifications. The defending army had another thought. He wanted to attract the Han army to launch a charge. As long as the Han army dared to charge, the defending army above the city could launch a long-range counterattack against the charging Han army.

What made the Jincheng defenders more depressing was that, regardless of whether there were defenders outside the city, the Han troops just carried out endless long-range bombardment, and there was a posture that they wanted to completely flatten the fortifications with stone bullets. Anyway, I didn't send out the army to try to get close to the city.

　　 The calmness and unhurriedness shown by Xie An made Zhang Chong feel extremely jealous in his heart.

　　The defending party is not afraid of the enemy's onslaught. Especially a well-built fortified city is not afraid of the onslaught. On the contrary, it hopes that the enemy will come and break the blood.

War is to rely on people to fight. If one side's casualties are too severe, it will inevitably damage the morale of the army, and it will create opportunities for the other side. In many cases, the defending army will only take advantage of the low morale of the enemy to counterattack after the heavy casualties. Often the enemy can be dismantled in one battle, and even a huge defeat can be fought.

"The Han army has few soldiers, and most of them are cavalry. Xie An didn't launch the approach to ascend to the city, but kept bombarding with long-range attack equipment..." Zhang Chong was watching more than a hundred drappers continuously riding and shooting, and said with a deep frown. : "There is no shortage of stone in Zakon."

　　 The grassland lacks stones, and stones can be seen everywhere in the rest of the area. The boulder truck is not really picky about what to throw, and it can throw other heavy objects even without stone bullets.

　　Any fortification has a bottom line to withstand attacks. No matter how strong the fortification is, it will collapse if it is continuously bombarded by heavy objects. After only ten days of bombardment, there is no good offensive outside the city to the east of Jincheng.

　　 After the Han army destroyed the fortifications outside the east of Jincheng, the long-range attack equipment was pulled to the south of the city, and then bombarded endlessly. Another bombardment of ten days destroyed the fortifications again, and was transferred to the west again...

"More than a month... in such a long time, the Han army only launched four small-scale approaching temptations!" Zhang Chong suffered mental torture for more than a month, and his people became extremely thin and haggard: "They What do you want to do!?"

　　 More than a month has passed. The Han army not only loves destroying the fortifications outside the city of Jincheng, but also has a keen interest in the canal that connects the city to the Yellow River. It completed the truncation of the canal yesterday.

During this more than a month, Zhang Chong couldn't bear it many times. He sent troops out of the city to try to destroy the Han army's stone dump truck. He was forced back by arrows that were so dense as to rain, and he went to stop the destruction. Zhang's Liang army in the water canal also received the same treatment.

　　 "Yes..." Yi guessed that he was worried, and subconsciously said: "What are they trying to do?"

　　 Yi Yi has been waiting and waiting, waiting for Xie An to send someone to contact, waiting to initiate a response, but has not waited for anything.

Being an insider is actually not so easy to do, especially under the premise that he may have been discovered, Yi Jian has long discovered Zhang Chong's vigilance against him, so scared that he dare not act rashly at all, and he is also in fear every moment. In, I'm afraid that someone suddenly rushes over to kill or tie him up.

　　 Yiyi hasn't taken the initiative to approach Zhang Chong for a long time, and he will be fully prepared when he has to. Today he was summoned to discuss matters. Before coming, he went through many investigations. For example, did Zhang Chong invite himself alone? If he did not invite himself alone, what other people did he invite? I found many people who had secret songs with the Han army. It is considered to be here if he is also invited.

　　 "Masters." Zhang Chong suddenly yelled many people and shocked many people: "The Han army has no intention to attack, so it can be seen that there are other plots."

　　 Everyone can see that Xie An has no plans to attack. Otherwise, except for the fortifications outside the city to the north, the remaining three fortifications have been destroyed, and only four small-scale trials have been launched.

"Jincheng is a strong city, and the prefect does not worry about the loss of Jincheng. The importance of Jincheng is to serve as the eastern barrier of the country, to resist the invading enemy." Zhang Chong was originally sitting on his knees, and already stood up and walked around: "Climate changes and changes in the water of the river forced the Han army to be unable to cross the river, but there is always a time when the river's water will relax again."

　　 Zhang Chong has been thinking about it recently, trying to guess as much as possible about Xie An's mind. After thinking about it, it is infinitely possible for Xie An to encircle the Jincheng and drive straight in.

There are too many examples of the Han army throwing a certain city aside and driving straight into it. Everything shows that Xie An is also likely to do so. Zhang Chong has obtained detailed information that has been returned after a lot of losses and painstaking efforts. It is said that a large number of Han troops appeared in Guanzhong, and there must be no doubt that Han has increased its troops to the Jincheng battlefield.

　　 The army of Han is divided into ranks.

　　 The standing army is the field corps. Each standing army has its own flag, which can be easily identified from the flag. The standing army is the main battle army of Han, and they are responsible for every battle.

In addition to the standing army, Han has a very large number of county and county soldiers, but the county and county soldiers are actually assisted by the main battle corps most of the time. In order to maintain the stability of the logistics line, it will also carry out some theater clearance tasks, which means that it rarely participates in the main attack on the frontal battlefield.

In the previous Han, there was a servant army and a slave army, but four years after Yuanshuo, the military establishment of the slave army was abolished, and the slaves were scattered everywhere as labor; the servant army did not exist in Han after the four years of Yuanshuo. The local area is the battlefield east of Murong Yan State, which is concentrated in Liaodong.

　　 What Zhang Chong knew was that the reinforcements of the Han army had three standing infantry corps and more than 80,000 county soldiers. In this way, he calculated that Xie An had two cavalry corps, four infantry corps, and one hundred thousand county soldiers, with a total strength of two hundred thousand.

Most people in Zhang’s Liang country would forget that there is a Han army on the grassland in Rouran Mountain. Even those who remember it don’t seem to think that the Han army in Rouran Mountain is so threatening. Zhang Chong knows that those people are there. Whatever they think, it is nothing more than the feeling that the Han army in Rouran Mountain will be transferred to the battlefield of Murong Yanguo. The reason they think so is only because Liu Yan personally conquered Murong Yanguo.

　　 "The prefect has made a decision." Zhang Chong stood still and said viciously, "We must take the initiative!"

In fact, Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi may have thoughts like that, but that is not the main reason why they assembled their troops on the north bank of the Yellow River in Jincheng. In fact, the two brothers are very conflicted and feel that Zhang’s Liangguo is a country. If you can't compete with Han, you will take the initiative to come to a battle. If you win, you will continue to linger. If you can't win, you won't be able to win.

For Zhang’s Liangguo, the east will have a future if it is won. If the east can’t hold it, it’s useless even if it’s firmly nailed to Gu Zang, then the Han army in Rouran Mountain will really launch an offensive from behind. , What's the difference? It's better to go all out and try to fight for a future.

　　 Zhang Zuo has sent someone to cross the river to risk his death, and the fish caught in the net entered the Jincheng, surrendering to Zhang Chong's plan for the arrival of soldiers from all over the country.

　　 Zhang Chong’s emotional change... or losing control was actually related to knowing that Zhang Zuo intended. He felt that the battle and decisive battle with the Han army on the edge of the Yellow River was too irrational. What he should do is to shift to the Western Regions.

　　 From the West Liang to the Western Regions, there are Gobi everywhere, some areas are even deserts. The Gobi and the desert are the barriers of Zhang's Liang State. It is completely possible to use the terrain to entangle the Han army and wait for the follow-up of the battle between Han and Murong Yan.

After making all preparations, Zhang Chong believed that Zhang’s Liang State should pray for the Han army to run into a wall in Murong Yan’s country. Once Han and Murong Yan entered a long-term stalemate, then Zhang’s Liang State might be able to launch a counterattack. , Even if it doesn't help, it can keep the Western Regions, and then continue to seek expansion to the west, but the country may not necessarily be subjugated.

　　 Zhang Chong has already sent someone to cross the river risking his death. It doesn't matter to him whether Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi accept the proposal, he doesn't even want to hold Jincheng anymore.

　　 "Premier!?" Sophie stood up, completely confused and asked: "Proactively attack?"

　　 "Yes, take the initiative!" Zhang Chong said decisively: "With the will to die, either the enemy will die or I will die, and the victory will be won in one battle!"

　　 No one can figure out what Zhang Chong is thinking, they basically look at Zhang Chong with a dumbfounded expression.

[The existence of Jincheng is no longer a barrier to the country, on the contrary it has become a burden...] Zhang Chong ignored the stunned group of people, returned to his position and knelt down again, thinking: [The general and the middle leader, even everyone, When they are in Jincheng, they will still have a fluke. Such a fluke will ruin the country! 】

　　 Yi Yi was rolling his eyes~www.wuxiamtl.com~ He caught Zhang Chong staring at him with piercing eyes, and for a moment he was so guilty that he could barely breathe.

　　 Zhang Chong is not only staring at Yi Yi, but people he knows who have secret songs with Han Jun will stare at them for a while.

　　 Just when Yi Yi was thinking about whether to jump up and flee, Zhang Chong made a new move over there.

　　 Zhang Chong recites a lot of people's names, and he called more than a dozen people in a circle. Yi figured out was one of them. Finally, he said, "The rest of us leave."

　　 One of the people named was shocked, and before they hesitated what to do, the others had already retired.

　　 Fortunately, the doors and windows were not closed immediately, and there were no large groups of samurai rushing in, and there were no large numbers of swordsmen and axes pouring out of the back hall, otherwise the people who were left should prepare to fight for survival.

　　 "Don't be nervous." Zhang Chong has been sitting in the same position, glanced around with a smile, and said slowly and methodically: "Everyone, somebody wants to give you a wealth.") Download the free reader!!
