Li Jing pondered for a few breaths. To be honest, if it were him, using terrain like Yangping Pass to lure the enemy deep would be his choice.
However, Li Jing soon shook his head and lured the enemy deeper, which was a forbidden method. Whenever a stratagem is used, it is basically impossible to achieve an effective breakthrough on the frontal battlefield. If the situation is overwhelming on the frontal battlefield, what stratagem is needed?
If you succeed in using the plan, you will naturally gain huge rewards. However, if it fails, the losses will be heavy. Therefore, most famous generals focus on righteousness and supplement by oddity. Only when there is a last resort, such as being at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength, will a surprise move be used to win.
Yangping Pass is in such a situation. It is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength. Don't forget that in addition to Li Jing and Feng Yi at Yangping Pass, there are also soldiers and horses of Wang Jian and Chang Yuchun to the east.
With this disparity in strength, it would definitely be impossible to fight head-on. For all famous generals, this is basically the time to make surprising moves.
However, the situation here at Yangping Pass is different. The presence of this dangerous pass is enough to help them find out a large part of their military disadvantage. Even if Li Jing is confident that he can still beat this level, it will definitely take a lot longer than usual.
Thinking about it, if the enemy general has some confidence in himself, he will definitely focus on guarding the pass in the early stage. If he persists until reinforcements arrive before the pass is destroyed, it will be a great victory for the Yizhou Army.
But if the Yizhou Army failed to hold Yangping Pass before reinforcements arrived, at this time, under such circumstances, Li Jing believed that it was time to use some strategies.
Therefore, if you think about it carefully, the enemy may use a trick to lure the enemy, but now is far from the time.
"Li Cunxu, Li Siyuan, Dou Rong, Zhang Xutuo, and Deng Qiang! I will give each of you 30,000 troops. Each of you will attack for two hours, and you will take turns to attack. I have only one request, which is to ensure that the soldiers on the top of the city are not allowed to attack. Have a moment of rest!”
Li Jing made a decision in his mind and simply put his troops on the map. He let the soldiers in Shu see the iron blood of my northern man, and also let them see the consequences of defying the heavenly army!
Moreover, it is definitely impossible to attack Shuzhong without making sacrifices. What's more, time is running out now, so once Li Jing takes action, it will be a brutal battle.
Five people, each attacking for two hours, is ten hours. However, there are only twelve hours in a day.
Although there is still a gap of two hours, theoretically the Shu army can indeed rest for two hours. However, for these famous generals, it is the vacancy of these two hours that makes the opponent more and more desperate.
"The general has received the order and will never give the soldiers in Guanzhong a moment's respite!" Li Cunxu was overjoyed and was the first to agree. He rode his horse to the front of the formation, stabbed the sky with the long sword at his waist, and let out a long shout, as loud as thunder. The sound echoed in front of the pass, "Thunderbolt camp, attack the city!"
On the wall of the pass, Yu Hualong suddenly turned pale, holding the handle of his gun tightly with both hands, wishing he could rush down to the pass to compete with the famous generals of the Jin army.
Pili Camp, this is the name of the Jin army's siege equipment unit. The Jin army's artillery tactics have long been famous throughout the world. In every critical battle, the overwhelming flying rocks will become a nightmare for the side attacked by the Jin army.
"Don't worry, don't disturb me! The enemy will never have that many catapults!" Dai Tuo patted Yu Hualong on the shoulder and said calmly.
Every prince has such a thing as a catapult, but why is the catapult of the Jin army the most sharp? It is because of the absolute numerical advantage. To use thousands of catapults in order to win a battle is not something that any prince except Li Xiang is qualified to use alone.
However, some siege equipment, including catapults, are large on the ninth floor and above. On the road from Guanzhong to Hanzhong, it is impossible to use them in large quantities based on the quality of the roads here. Therefore, Tuo Tuo had already expected that the number of catapults this time would not be large.
Of course, if Tuo Tuo and the others were not mistaken, Li Jing definitely had a large number of craftsmen in his army. Although Li Jing could not directly transport large quantities of finished siege equipment due to the road conditions here, there would definitely be craftsmen. Built on site. Any famous general would probably adopt this approach.
However, it takes time to build siege equipment. Li Jing's troops have just arrived. Of course, it cannot be completed in a day or two. Even if there are sufficient manpower, it will take a month or two. normal.
"Bed Crossbow, come forward!" Dai Tuo suddenly waved his hand.
As the voice fell, there was a "click, click, click" sound of breathing and the sound of the wheels pressing against the ground from behind Dai Tuo.
Everyone followed the sound and looked back, only to see more than a thousand soldiers in the pass pushing and carrying thirty or fifty "bed crossbows" that they had never seen in their lives. They walked into the pass and walked up the city wall in front of them.
This bed crossbow is indeed a bed crossbow, but it was simply modified by Tuo Tuo to have a certain protection against catapult bombardment.
These huge bed crossbows that were brought up were about eight feet high and one foot long and wide. They were made of a bed crossbow and the base of a siege vehicle.
The tops of these giant bed crossbows were covered with two layers of thick linoleum, but the middle was hollowed out and two normal bed crossbows were placed side by side, and four wheels were placed under the base for propulsion. As for the soldiers Then they all stayed under the linoleum behind the crossbows. This not only ensured the distance of the attack, but also greatly improved the safety of the soldiers.
When all the big crossbows "mounted" on the top of the city and exposed their sharp teeth to the arrow stomping mouths, the soldiers on the top of the city cheered.
Li Cunxu smiled coldly, and a spear in his hand flashed through the air with lightning and suddenly fell to the ground. How can you resist our pace just by relying on your improvised slightly larger bed crossbow? What’s more, you had an erotic dream last night and you haven’t woken up yet, right?
"put!"
The words fall!
Ishide!
The tight reins in the hands of hundreds of engineering soldiers suddenly loosened following Li Cunxu's scream. More than seventy trebuchets screamed at the same time. Hundreds of boulders suddenly rose into the air, and then flew toward Yangping Pass like a swarm of locusts.
Although the screams of more than seventy trebuchets at the same time were not small, they were nothing compared to the previous offensives of the Jin army. Hundreds of catapults were mobilized, or even thousands of catapults were mobilized. The largest one mobilized 3,000 catapults directly.
In comparison, it is indeed drizzle now.
This time, in order to make up for the lack of firepower, Li Jing added a full 15,000 archers in addition to the 30,000 siege troops.
