Hegemony of all Dynasties: Get the Zhao Yun template at the beginning

Chapter 375 Three Parties (Add 35)

When Wang Jing heard this, his expression softened a lot.

Chen Baxian had just defeated Yang Guang's hundreds of thousands of troops, and the soldiers were sharp. Although the Huai army had the confidence to fight and defeat the opponent, they would definitely increase their casualties.

Right now, Wang Jing's goals are only Yang Shuang and Zhang Shicheng who are heading towards a dead end.

Food needs to be eaten bite by bite, and the road needs to be walked step by step.

First take down Yang Shuang and Zhang Shicheng's hundreds of thousands of troops steadily, Wang Jing's next step is to attack Jiangnan, and there is no conflict with Chen Baxian in a short time.

When Wu Yong went on an envoy, he should have secretly revealed Wang Jing's thoughts to Chen Jun, otherwise Chen Baxian would not have reacted so quickly.

According to normal circumstances, after Chen Baxian's victory, even if he did not take the initiative to send troops to attack Yangzhou, he could still leave a large army to restrain the Huai army.

The Huai army had to deploy a line of defense in the west of Yangzhou.

Now Wang Jing took the initiative to send envoys to communicate with the other party, indicating that the Huai army had no intention of advancing westward, and Chen Baxian would reciprocate and show his intentions to the Huai army.

"Okay! Since Chen Baxian doesn't want to be an enemy of our army, then our army's current opponent is only the hundreds of thousands of troops in the north!"

The current situation is becoming more and more favorable to the Huai Army.

Wang Jing was very satisfied.

Without the constraints of the princes on the east and west, he can deal with the powerful enemy in the north with one heart.

for the rest of the time.

Wang Jing stayed in Guiyan Palace and did not go out again. He dealt with the memorials of Yangzhou, Gaoyou, Baoying, Jinhu, Hukou and other places every day, and read the memorials of Sihong and other places.

He cast the rest of his eyes on the battlefield in the north.

Both Yang Shuang and Zhang Shicheng knew that they had no way out right now, and they were sending troops to attack Ai Ling City and the surrounding Huai army camps every day.

Hundreds of thousands of troops fought in a narrow area, and thousands of people died in battle every day.

Ai Ling City is just a small city, and its defense is not too strong after being temporarily reinforced. However, the Huai Army has a steady stream of logistics, and there are also a large number of ballistas, trebuchets, WISCO vehicles and other equipment for defense.

There is also Fu Youde's impromptu command, which fully demonstrated the strength of the more than [-] elite Huai troops.

Despite the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops, they still stood still, firmly blocking the two armies at the boundary north of Ailing Lake and east of the canal.

……

Boom!There was a whistling sound in the air.

Pieces of stones were thrown flying by the catapult, and they drew an arc in the air, falling into the prepared Huai Army formation and the head of Ai Ling City.

On the top of the city, in order to guard against the bombardment of boulders from catapults, sandbags were laid everywhere. When the stones hit the sandbags, they made a loud noise, but the powerful impact force was absorbed and buffered by the sandbags, greatly reducing the lethality.

However, if they are directly hit by a huge boulder, even a third-rank general will not be spared. Ordinary soldiers can only pray for God's blessing, and bless that the boulder is not the one that hits them.

A large number of stones fell, and many soldiers of the Huai army fell to the ground screaming.

However, the countermeasures of the Huai army soon appeared.

The catapults of the Huai army also started to launch, and a large number of stones bombarded the catapults built by the Sui army. Amidst the continuous loud noise, the siege equipment built by the Sui army and Zhang Shicheng's army shattered.

kill!

While the catapults were bombarding each other, the soldiers of the Sui-Zhang coalition army, under the frantic roar of the officers and captains, had already driven the young men and women who were forcibly conscripted from the surroundings, and let these men, women and children who kept crying as the vanguard, march towards Rush towards the city.

Whoosh whoosh!

The Huai army on the top of the city did not hesitate at all, and the archers fired their arrows mechanically.

A rain of arrows fell from the sky like migratory locusts, knocking down men and women in ragged clothes.

The blood of a large number of dead bodies gathered together and flowed into Lake Ailing, dyeing the lake with a radius of hundreds of miles a faint red.

After the cannon fodder that blocked the arrows was exhausted, the elite soldiers of the Sui and Zhang coalition forces rushed to the bottom of the city carrying a ladder.

Like crazy ants, like a black tide.

The coalition army didn't care about the casualties, and let their companions fall to the ground, rushing to the top of the city with bloodshot eyes.The fierce fighting these days has turned these soldiers into trapped beasts.

The madness and bestiality in my heart were fully aroused.

"die!"

Wang Bi held two knives, his footsteps were like flying, and the armor that weighed tens of kilograms on his body did not affect him at all. His two knives were like lightning, and the sharp edges shot out, causing more than a dozen enemy soldiers to fall to the ground.

Limbs and arms were broken, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Behind him followed the elite of the Huai army, using Wang Bi as a sharp edge, quickly harvested the enemy troops on the top of the city.

In addition to Wang Bi, Tang Shengzong, Lu Zhongheng, Wang Xiongdan, Kan Leng and other generals each led their elites, like a meat grinder, to constantly clean up the enemy soldiers.

These generals and schools are all generals who count as one thousand, no matter how violent the soldiers of the coalition army are, they all guard the top of the city like an iron wall.

Except for the fighting at the top of the city.

Not far from the top of the city, a large number of soldiers and forced laborers are constantly piling up mounds and building archery towers, trying to suppress the top of the city with archers.

The place where the mounds are piled up is also the focus of bombardment by riprap vehicles.

The gravel splashed, and each piece of gravel could easily penetrate the flesh and blood of ordinary people. Even elite soldiers in armor would break their tendons and viscera if hit by the gravel.

The catapults focused on taking care of the earth hills, while the kerosene bombs aimed at the watchtowers. Whenever the watchtowers were about to be built, kerosene bombs roared in and set the watchtowers on fire.

In the coalition formation.

Yang Shuang and Zhang Shicheng's faces were iron, looking at the tragic battlefield ahead, they continued to send troops to act as successors.

Below the head of the city, the corpses of a large number of civilians and soldiers have piled up into a hill, and blood seeps from countless corpses. The soldiers attacking the city behind no longer need to use ladders.

From this mountain of corpses, you can rush directly to the top of the city.

As the corpses gradually became level with the top of the city and became a slope, the advantage of the coalition army's large number of soldiers finally came into play. A large number of soldiers rushed to the top of the city and fought fiercely with the Huai army.

Finally, there are signs of capturing the top of the city.

"it is good!"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Shicheng's livid face finally eased a little.He clapped his hands violently, turned his head to look at Yang Shuang, and said, "King Wei, should the Chinese army be dispatched?"

Yang Shuang didn't have much joy on his face, shook his head slightly, and said: "Prince Cheng, there are generals such as Fu Youde and Wang Bi in the Huai army, and you should know their strength best!"

"If we don't find a way to deal with these generals, even if we attack the top of the city, we will not be able to gain a firm foothold! The most important thing right now is to take the opportunity to gather the best in the army and besiege these generals of the Huai Army..."

Zhang Shicheng feels that there is something in the other party's words. What does it mean that I know their strength best?
However, he also knew that what the other party said was reasonable, so he said: "Just do as King Wei said, and all the masters under the king's command will be dispatched by King Wei."

Before Yang Shuang started to mobilize his manpower, he saw the Huai army on the top of the city starting a counterattack.

Several generals rushed out of the formation in person, and according to the command of the command flag, they specially assaulted and killed the officers and lieutenants of the coalition forces, and quickly defeated the enemy troops on the top of the city.

Without the commanding generals, the coalition soldiers quickly lost their courage to fight and retreated.

Pong!
Zhang Shicheng couldn't bear it any longer, he shattered the armrest in front of him with his palm, sending pieces of wood flying.

"Hateful, it falls short!"

Yang Shuang was also a little disappointed, but he could still remain calm.

These days, their methods of attacking the city can be described as trying their best, mounding mountains, building archery towers, digging ditches, and building catapults... That is to say, the battlefield of the two armies is not far from the shore of the lake, and there is no way to dig tunnels.

Otherwise, you have to try digging a tunnel.

All kinds of siege methods were resolved one by one by Fu Youde.

In the end, Yang Shuang, regardless of his reputation, began to forcefully recruit men and women from around, using them as cannon fodder to consume the strength of the Huai army.

These people were originally the people under the rule of Sui Ting.

Yang Shuang couldn't care much at this time, he had no choice now, if he couldn't capture Yangzhou, the 30-[-] army he led would be wiped out.

Now Yang Guang is hopeless.

But Sui Ting still has a glimmer of hope, as long as he can persist until his elder brother Yang Jian arrives, then Sui Ting still has a chance to rise.

At this time.

Zhang Shide rushed over quickly, with a happy expression on his face, and said anxiously: "Brother, King Wei, great joy, Yu Wenhuaji finally agreed to form an alliance with us, and sent Yuwen Chengdu to bring elite soldiers to support!"

"With Yuwen Chengdu as a strong general, we will be able to break through the city and defeat Fu Youde!"
