"The minister recommends General Chen Qingzhi."
Chen Qingzhi has been fighting for a long time, and he is also the leader of the backward faction in the Qi army.Although he was defeated by Li Xiaogong in the Battle of Jiangxia, it was also because he lacked a top general who could compete with Li Yuanba.
For this battle, it only needs to be equipped with suitable lieutenants, and the army will be safe.
Cao Anmin thought over and over again, and summoned Zheng He to make an order.
Chen Qingzhi was appointed as the governor of Zhengxi, Su Lie was appointed as the deputy governor of Zhengxi, and Jia Fu, Wu Tianxi, Shan Xiongxin, Yu Juluo, Dong Ping, and Xie Yingdeng led an army of [-] to Tongguan.
In February, inside and outside Tongguan, the battle clouds were dense.
Liu Yu, the regent of the Qin and Han Dynasties, led a total of 12 troops from three routes to fight towards Tongguan.
Wei Xiaokuan, the guard of Tongguan, deployed his defenses boldly, left heavy troops in Tongguan, and led his partial division to Puban.
"Siege!"
With a wave of the command flag, the Xiongnu and Qiang army under the city quickly launched an attack according to the previous plan.
Above Tongguan, the Qi army's archers quickly launched an attack. Suddenly, arrows rained down on the city, and each arrow made a soft whistling sound and shot at the Huns.
The screams resounded through the sky, and the Qi army above Tongguan was confident, and the arrows were fired continuously, meticulously and orderly.
Amidst the sound of arrows piercing the flesh, the soldiers who were shot let out a scream.Some people were slightly injured, gritted their teeth and continued to rush towards the city.Some soldiers were seriously injured and immediately fell to the ground unconscious.
Seeing that their soldiers had just arrived under Tongguan, they did not expect that the Qi army above Chengguan quickly threw kerosene.In an instant, flames shot up to the sky under Tongguan, causing countless casualties.
Before the Huns on the ladder had time to climb up, they were burnt and fell down.The soldiers below who were still struggling to climb up screamed again and again when the kerosene tank burned, and the sky-high flames ignited the ladder.Many soldiers died tragically under the arrow rain of the Qi army in order to protect the ladder.
Seeing this, Liu Bobo also gritted his teeth.
Among the more than 3 people under his command, only a small part are the remnants of the Huns, and the vast majority are the survivors of the Xianbei, Jie and other tribes.
I have been operating in the Western Regions for a long time, so I only have such a little family background. If it is all wiped out under Tongguan, it will not be worth the loss.
Thinking of this, he quickly walked to Lu Guang.
"Brother, both of our clans are proficient in field warfare. We are not good at attacking tough battles. If this continues, our soldiers may really die."
Lu Guang glanced at him and said, "Now, we can only hope that the regent can break through Puban as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Liu Bobo pulled out his own accessories and shouted: "Subjects, charge me to the death. Whoever can charge in will be rewarded with great rewards."
Encouraged by Liu Bobo, the frustrated Huns cheered up again, quickly climbed the ladder, and attacked towards the top.
Under the attack of rounds of arrows, none of the soldiers flinched, and continued to charge with the ladder on their shoulders.
Bows and arrows are medium and long-distance weapons, and they are top-notch in terms of shooting.But when defending the city, after the enemy climbs up the city wall, the effect is far inferior to rolling stones, logs, rolling oil, etc. to defend the city and consolidate it.
Throwing stones and logs down one by one, as long as they can hit anyone, their brains will burst and blood will fly.Once the hot oil is poured down, countless soldiers will fall to the ground and howl, no matter how brave you are, facing such a scene is extremely shocking.
Meng Gong and Wei Xiaokuan successively took over Tongguan.It not only strengthened the overall defense inside and outside Tongguan, but also built a large number of defense facilities.
Compared with Meng Gong before, Wei Xiaokuan is even more scheming.
He not only installed a large number of wooden stakes on the city wall to block the enemy's ladders, but also used hot air balloons to quickly vacate with a large number of fire oil tanks when the Huns attacked.
At first, hot air balloons were only used to transport goods in Qi.
But with the bold vision of Meng Gong and Wei Xiaokuan, the hot air balloon has become an important offensive weapon.Hot air balloons can only rise into the sky by relying on the flames below them. Because of this, they made the original hot air balloons smaller, and directly replaced the bamboo baskets on which people sat below with crude rattan.The top of each rattan is tied with a strip of cloth and connected to the vent of the hot air balloon.
As long as the flame starts to burn and the hot air balloon flies up, the flame will continuously burn the vines that bind the fire oil tank above, and the fire oil tank will fall directly from the sky.
Although this kind of attack belongs to the same category as the trebuchet, because its attack is uncertain, a lot of the enemy's attention is diverted to it, so it is impossible to concentrate all combat power on the siege.
The hot air balloon is just one of Wei Xiaokuan's defensive weapons.
It was because of these strange weapons that Wei Xiaokuan was able to leave Tongguan calmly and go to Puban to guard.
A large number of soldiers were killed every minute and every second.Although Lu Guang felt distressed, he did not prevent such fearless casualties.
Siege in daylight is not only a strong attack, but also an illusion.By sieging the city, the Qi army in the city was paralyzed and bought time for Liu Yu of Puban.If this is missing, they will definitely be on guard, and the chance of success will be reduced.
In order to be safe, the scenes must be fully played.
It wasn't until dusk that the alien coalition forces that had been fighting for a day retreated.
Chapter 947 Liu Yu VS Wei Xiaokuan
General Wei Xiaokuan of Tongguan General Wei Xiaokuan narrowed his eyes slightly at the Puban camp of the Qi army, and kept looking at the sand table.
"General Qi, no trace of the Han army has been found."
A scout entered the account and quickly reported, Wei Xiaokuan waved his hand to signal him to back down.
There seems to be no trace of the Han army on the east and west sides of Puban, and everything seems to be in peace, but Wei Xiaokuan can't calm down for a long time.
Liu Yu, as his opponent, if he doesn't know the root cause, how can he lead the army to protect the fortress of Xichui Qi State.
Just because he knew him well, Wei Xiaokuan felt that Liu Yu should have changed after he was defeated last time, and the focus of the strategic attack should not be Tongguan Tianzhu.
It was precisely because of this consideration that he took the initiative to put down the defense of Tongguan and came to Puban to guard both sides of the Yellow River in case of accidents.
"General, my subordinates have an emergency report!"
The voice of the lieutenant general came from outside the tent, Wei Xiaokuan hastily beckoned him to enter.
The lieutenant general was sweating profusely and said out of breath: "General, I just discovered that many ships suddenly appeared on the Yellow River upstream, and the distance from Dazhai is less than [-] miles away. Judging by the draft of the ships, there are many boats on board. Loaded with loads."
A gleam flashed in Wei Xiaokuan's eyes.
coming!
Before he had time to think about it, Wei Xiaokuan hurriedly ordered all the soldiers to get ready for battle.
At the same time, on the other side of the river, the Han army followed closely behind the ships and accelerated.
Liu Yu, who was wearing armor, was also full of confidence at this time.
Butan has always been a pain in his heart.
In the last attack, he used feigned attacks on Wuguan and Puban to distract Tongguan Meng Gong's attention.But unexpectedly, Wei Xiaokuan suddenly appeared, disrupting all his arrangements, and finally returned with heavy casualties.
This time, he attacked Puban with heavy troops, and he was determined to break Puban completely.
Just as he was thinking about it, He Wuji came up to him and bowed: "Your Majesty, there are still more than ten miles away from Puban Qi Army's stronghold, should we lead it into the mountains?"
Liu Yu stroked his beard and said, "Did the sentry cavalry of the Qi army spot our warship?"
