"Give me the order!"
"We will attack Jianyang tomorrow - the tribes must not retreat any more!"
"If you withdraw one person, you will behead a hundred people; if you withdraw one person, you will behead a hundred people!"
"I would like to see how many arrows there are in Jianyang City!"
"After I capture Jianyang City, I will use Mi Liang's head to sacrifice the flag!"
The morale of the generals in the tent was greatly boosted! They raised their hands together and said: "Your Majesty is wise! We will obey your order!"
…
The next morning, the war drums beat!
Under the command of Wang Sijing, tens of thousands of Vietnamese soldiers lined up in ten square formations.
The green flag waved, and the Vietnamese soldiers shouted and rushed towards Jianyang City!
After estimation, the number of Chu defenders in the city must not exceed 10,000, and should be around 6,000 or 7,000.
Thirty thousand versus six or seven thousand.
Si Jing: The advantage is mine!
On Jianyang City, arrows poured down like raindrops again, and the Vietnamese soldiers lay down in a large area, howling miserably.
King Yao on the chariot pulled out the bronze sword from his waist and raised it high: "Don't retreat! Anyone who retreats will die!"
The archers of the Vietnamese army were also firing arrows at the city wall, trying to suppress the Chu army so that the charging infantry could go more smoothly.
But the arrow rain from both sides was not at the same level.
A huge roar came from the city - the catapult began to exert force again.
Within a moment, the Vietnamese army's crossbow phalanx was bombarded to pieces. Although the Vietnamese archers did not dare to retreat to the rear in fear of Si Jing's military order, the suppression effect on the city was also greatly weakened.
With better-than-no support, the Vietnamese soldiers fought their way through the rain of arrows and then set up a ladder on the top of the city.
Wow!
Pounding stones and rolling logs mixed with stinking gold juice poured down, and the Vietnamese soldiers under the city lay down on the ground howling miserably.
Inevitably, the Vietnamese soldiers began to retreat backwards.
The soldiers of the Chu army on the city took the opportunity to destroy the Yue army's ladder.
…
Si was shocked and furious!
More than thirty ministers and hundreds of ministers knelt on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic!
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
"Give me another chance and let me lead my brothers to rush again!"
Si Jing snorted coldly: "I have clearly stated the military law first. If I let you go, how can I convince everyone?"
"Enforce military law!"
More than thirty swords were swung down with white light flashing, and the low-level officers who retreated were killed cleanly.
Human heads were rolling on the ground, and the pungent smell of blood filled the edges of the entire camp.
All the Yue generals were as silent as cicadas.
Wang Si was shocked and waved her hand: "Hang up the head! Warn the three armies!"
"If anyone retreats again, this will be the case!"
"Capture Jianyang and behead Miliang alive!"
Under the terror, the morale of the Yue soldiers increased: "Capture Jianyang and behead Mi Liang alive! Fight! Fight..."
Si Jing raised his head and laughed: "I have such morale, why worry about not being able to defeat Jianyang!"
"Crush again!"
"I want to see how many arrows the Chu people have!"
…
On Jianyang City, Xiong Wuliang scratched his head.
Hold the grass.
Have these Yue people been given blood?
It has been a fierce attack for five days, and the corpses under the city are piled up!
This Jianyang of mine is impregnable!
How could this group of Yue people not believe in evil? They braved the rain of arrows to attack the city.
Is it Hua? !
This group of Yue people used these three days to make many giant wooden shields, which actually made the arrow rain on the city much less lethal.
More and more Yue soldiers risked their lives and rushed to the city.
The Chu soldiers on the city also suffered a lot of casualties.
The most casualties were among the 5,000 Chu soldiers. Due to their well-equipped equipment, the 1,000 soldiers under Xiong Wuliang's command suffered very few casualties even if they fought hand-to-hand with the Yue people on the city wall.
The red and yellow flag of 'Quyang Junliang' still stands firmly at the top of the city.
"Boys of the Shaohu Army, stay on guard for another five days!" Shaohu's voice was a little hoarse.
Although he is also from the Yue country, Shaohu has already pledged his allegiance to Xiong Wuliang, so he will naturally be loyal to the emperor.
This warrior was not holding a shield. He was holding an iron sword with a curled edge in his right hand. He was covered in blood, and even his chest hair was dyed red - dangling on the top of the city.
It can cut the sword blade made of "hundred smelted iron" made by water power in Quyang County until it curls...
In these five days, this guy chopped off a lot of heads from the Vietnamese army.
"Cheer up, don't be outdone by Qu Yangjun!"
"Teacher, let's see who is the real elite!"
The sergeant Qu Yang on the side curled his lips in disdain when he heard this.
But I couldn't help but feel a little respect for this Shaohu army.
Judging from the combat strength and results alone, facts have proved that this Shaohu Army, which escaped from the barbarians of the Yue Kingdom, is not inferior to the Quyang Army!
Xiong Wuliang's expression also became serious - King Yao's offensive was beyond his expectation.
In five days, the Chu army in the city had suffered more than a thousand casualties.
Under such circumstances, it's hard to say whether we can keep it for another five days.
His two troops were strong-willed, but the five thousand ordinary Chu soldiers showed signs of low morale.
From this point of view, even if it can be defended after five days, it will probably be a tragic victory with heavy casualties.
These thousand elite soldiers are Xiong Wuliang's hard work! How can we just light it up like this?
Fortunately, Xiong Wuliang still has backup plans!
…
At this moment, Quyang County.
Zhao Hua received Xiong Wuliang's letter, took a quick look at it, and immediately got up excitedly!
These days, Zhao Huaguo is rarely free.
On Zhongli's side, the 10,000-gold bet has basically been settled, and it's finally over.
After Jianyang City was besieged by King Yao, there were finally no more refugees from the Yue Kingdom asking Zhao Hua for resettlement.
I get angry when I mention this!
Damn the unscrupulous bear!
Zhao Hua was already so busy that he had to think about how to resettle refugees, provide relief food, build new farms, and encourage reclamation for these Yue people...
It's like breaking a person called Zhao Hua into eight pieces!
However... it may be that Xiong Wuliang's brainwashing PUA is quite effective, or it may be that Zhao Hua is a restless person...
Now that I have some free time, I feel a little uncomfortable!
Ah ah ah you don’t let me work overtime! How do I grow up!
"My lord is in trouble, please provide immediate support!" Zhao Hua stood up suddenly.
Quyang County is Xiong Wuliang's backer and back-up man!
Today's Quyang County has an organized militia.
Now that the war is critical, it is time to mobilize the militia to the battlefield!
Today, Xiong Wuliang is extremely popular in his fiefdom!
"My Lord is in trouble! He needs my help!"
"Second and third sons, kill the retreating Yue people!"
"Guard the young master back home!"
The farmers in these food towns are very simple-minded.
Without Xiong Wuliang, the young master, would Quyang County be able to live the good life it has today? How can there be a tithe in the world?
The Lord is a good man! He knew the sufferings of the people and knew how to leave a way for them to survive.
That's enough!
The farm system in Quyang County is extremely suitable for war times. In just one afternoon, the farm completed war mobilization.
After Zhao Hua personally selected and eliminated the old, weak, women and children, he organized a militia of more than two thousand people and issued standard weapons. Zhao Hua personally led the team to Jianyang City!
