When the Huai army's Shanyang camp moved south, Yang Shuang of Gaoyou sent a lot of reinforcements. However, the Sui army of Gaoyou also had to deal with Yu Wenji of Xinghua, so the number of reinforcements was not large.
After adding reinforcements, Baoying's Sui army reached one hundred thousand.
These 100,000 troops were all elite soldiers recruited and trained by the Sui army from the Jianghuai River within two or three years after their arrival. These soldiers came from all eras.
There are the brave and staunch warriors of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and there are also the Eight Banners of the Han Army who bullied the weak and feared the strong during the Qing Dynasty...
Of course, these are just their previous origins. Now they only have one identity, that is, Sui Jun Xiaoyong.
Among the hundreds of thousands of troops, there must be hidden dragons and crouching tigers. It is also very possible that famous ministers and generals whose names have been recorded in history books are hiding their identities among them.
"There is another powerful general? How strong is this person?"
Yang Kan next to him asked immediately.
Lu Zhongheng quickly replied: "The general only fought a few moves with this person, and I only felt that the opponent had already entered the sixth level, but this person is definitely no match for General Sheep!"
Yang Kan nodded slightly and said no more.
Li Kaifang smiled and said: "If this is the case, even if there are generals protecting Baoying City, they will definitely not be a match for our army!"
The other generals smiled when they heard this.
What he said is right. Just looking at the generals of Shanyang Camp, Li Kaifang, the main general, has broken through to the fifth level and is a first-rate powerhouse at this stage.
Yang Kan has reached the peak of the sixth level, only half a step away from the seventh level, while Fei Ju and Lu Zhongheng are at the fifth level peak, Wang Maozhang is at the fifth level, and even the weakest Liu Wei has the strength of the fourth level.
The generals at Shanyang Camp were more powerful than the personal army commanded by Wang Jing himself.
However, after Fu Youde, Wang Bi and Tang Shengzong defected, Wang Jing's personal guards once again overwhelmed the Shanyang camp.
Two hundred thousand troops. Six or seven world-class generals.
It is enough to easily destroy those middle-level princes. Even if Yang Xingmi is resurrected and leads his 200,000 troops to stand in front of Shanyang Camp, he will be easily crushed.
In addition, since the Huai army was officially established in Sihong, it has swept across all directions and is invincible.
The morale and fighting spirit of the army sergeants are like a red torrent sweeping everything, full of arrogant self-confidence. Even the most powerful enemy is definitely no match for them.
Historically, whenever a dynasty was established, the army was the most powerful. Because of the spirit of the army that established the dynasty, no one in the world could match it.
The Huai Army was at this stage. Although it had not yet successfully established a dynasty, the Huai Army's invincible power to sweep across all directions had taken shape.
If Li Kaifang, leading an army of 200,000, and these generals cannot capture Baoying, he can quit the Huai Army and go home to retire.
"Go back first!"
"The official siege will begin tomorrow!"
Li Kaifang said in a deep voice, and the expressions of many generals and commanders around him perked up, and they responded in unison.
As for the method of breaking the city, the strategy of attacking the city...
This does not require negotiation.
There are large lakes on both sides of Baoying, and they are both close to the north shore of the lake.
The water stronghold set up by the Sui army in the west of the city and the military fort set up on the island in the center of Sheyang Lake in the east of the city were enough to ensure that the Huai army's navy could not enter the water.
As for taking the canal waterway... Baoying City is the first to bear the brunt. If the city is not destroyed, it will be impossible to pass through the canal.
Therefore, if you want to attack Baoying City, you don't need any strategy. You just need to lead troops and attack by force.
The second day.
Under the mobilization of the general, a mighty army of Huai soldiers came out to meet them and formed an array in a large field to the north and east of Baoying. The Huai soldiers were wearing red military uniforms. The mighty army was like a torrent, capable of breaking through all obstacles.
The red flame can change the color of the entire world.
"Wan Sheng!" Gu Hao
"Wan Sheng!"
When Li Kaifang and many generals appeared in front of the military formation, the mighty army simultaneously let out a thunderous roar. The sound resounded through the sky and could almost shatter the clouds in the sky.
On the city wall.
When several generals saw this scene, their faces suddenly became extremely ugly.
They noticed that under the enemy's overwhelming and invincible momentum, some soldiers on the city wall subconsciously took a step back, as if they were severely frightened by this momentum.
But this is normal.
Although the Sui army was well-trained, they were considered elite in the eyes of ordinary people.
However, after the rise of the Sui army, they have never wiped out the other three princes in Huaidong. They cannot be victorious in every battle and be invincible.
Naturally, the Sui army was unable to gather a powerful momentum similar to that of Huai's soldiers. In other words, their strength has reached the elite level, but their hearts and minds are not firm enough.
On the battlefield, they can only display about 90% of their strength.
The Huai Army can exert 120% of its strength with strong confidence.
Confidence, morale! These may seem invisible, but they are very important to an army.
If some of the scholars in Baoying City who have the talent of observing Qi are on the city wall, they can see the billowing red color condensed and formed above the Huai army formation, turning into a red tiger containing a fierce aura!
Li Kaifang came to the high platform in the formation and waved the command flag.
"attack!"
With the flag waving, Liu Wei led thousands of soldiers to launch the catapults and then loaded them with stone bullets. These stone bullets were modified by craftsmen, and some catapults were loaded with kerosene bombs.
Accompanied by the sound of trumpets.
Boom boom! A large number of stone bombs and kerosene bombs flew through the air like flying fireballs, and then crashed down on the city walls and city walls of Baoying. The kerosene bombs immediately spattered a large number of sparks.
The stone bullets spattered gravel.
These gravels and kerosene were scattered everywhere, like a machine that harvested lives. Even if a warrior who had entered the transformation of life was hit, he would only end up being burned to death or pierced by the gravel.
"Don't panic, just follow my orders..."
On the top of the city, General Chen Leng shouted sternly, constantly instructing the defenders to raise their shields to avoid, and sent some auxiliary soldiers to put out the fire with sand and earth.
His strength is only at the fourth level, but he has good abilities in arranging troops and commanding troops, and he also has certain attainments in how to defend a city.
That's why he was appointed as a general by Yang Shuang to command Baoying's 100,000 Sui troops.
Except for him.
There are several generals on the city wall, who command the troops and horses respectively and calm the morale of the troops. One of the generals is extremely agile, holding a shield in one hand and a long sword in the other.
Whenever a kerosene bomb landed nearby, he would dodge and use his shield to deflect the kerosene bomb as if he had turned into a phantom.
As for the stone bullets fired by the trebuchet.
He was very careful not to block actively.
This person is Shen Guang, the Zuowuwei general of the Sui army. He is not weak in strength, his figure is extremely agile, and he can outrun a galloping horse with his legs alone. The response speed is very fast.
"This is just a test by the Huai Army. Don't consume too much energy. There will be a fierce battle next!"
After Shen Guang swung away a kerosene bomb.
A faint voice came from not far away. The speaker was a man wearing fish scale armor and holding a long spear in one hand.
This man stood quietly, his eyes staring at the Huai army formation in the distance, his expression calm and composed, not at all nervous about the enemy approaching the city and about to engage in a fierce battle.
