The next day! Dongfang Yu personally led an army of 350,000 men, led by generals Bai Qi and Li Jing, and marched straight out of Yanghu Pass to attack Taizhou.
The northern army led an army of 100,000 from Jiangyin, and captured half of it and merged with the state. Facing the 150,000 troops of generals Li Zhen, Zhao Bing, Wen Zong and Zhuang Jing; Wei Qing in the north also received a transfer order from Dongfang Yu and went directly south from Wusha City with an army of 50,000 to attack Jizhou.
Liu Wenqin's 250,000-strong army also crossed the Huaichuan River by transport ship a few days ago and reached Yuzhou.
The next day, the armies of Liu Wenqin and Qi Lanyin directly attacked Ruyin County and Yang'an County. The Qi army retreated steadily and retreated to Xiangcheng County.
General Luo Youshan gathered hundreds of thousands of troops in the city to block Liu Wenqin's army from attacking Luzhou.
Once Xiangcheng is defeated, then Luzhou will also be captured by the Qin army with Luo Youshan's defeat.
kill! kill! kill!
War drums rumbled and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Liu Wenqin's nearly 300,000 troops were stationed under Xiangcheng, eyeing the army on Luo Youshan above Xiangcheng. Yu Haoming, Fang Shouke, and an army of 80,000 went to Luzhou, once they defeated the Qi fleet.
So! Luzhou, as the old capital of Qi State, would fall immediately.
The first battle between Qi and Qin took place in Xiangcheng at the end of July.
Looking at the menacing Qin army, beads of sweat were flowing on Luo Youshan's face, "The Qin army is powerful. No matter in terms of strength or momentum, our army has already lost."
Behind Liu Wenqin, there are three hundred and fifty Frankie cannons, more than two hundred Shenwu cannons, and five hundred and fifty cannons. Even if they are bombarded and smashed, the small Xiangcheng cannot withstand it for long. of.
The cannons here are assembled from all the stocks of Chen and Chu, as well as Frankie cannons, which Liu Wenqin brought with him, and others who asked for instructions from the Ministry of War.
These five hundred and fifty cannons were fired together, let alone hitting the enemy troops on the city, without even a chance to show their faces.
call out!
As for Liu Wenqin, when he saw Xiangcheng in front of him again, he grinned and did not take Xiangcheng seriously.
He pulled out his spear, pointed it directly at Xiangcheng, and shouted: "Fire the artillery and blast Xiangcheng to pieces for me."
boom! boom! boom!
The continuous sound of cannons echoed in the air, and the loud thunder-like sound startled everyone.
The heart that was originally hanging became extremely nervous at this moment.
boom! boom! boom!
The firepower of 550 artillery pieces was directly on the tower, bombarding them wildly.
A group of soldiers were blown away to the lower part of the city just as they were about to show their heads, even! Some soldiers fell apart immediately, with blood mist flying.
Even General Luo Youshan could not help but crawl on the ground under the fierce fire.
The artillery fire was really too fierce. There had never been such fierce artillery fire.
"Vanguard, attack the city!"
Liu Wenqin waved the flag again and shouted.
Twenty thousand siege troops rushed forward desperately, and siege vehicles and siege ladders were also revealed on the battlefield.
That's not the end yet. Crossbow carts and 5,000 crossbowmen, under the cover of 5,000 shield soldiers, are approaching Xiangcheng step by step with neat and imposing steps.
The most different thing is that the killing weapon in the hands of the Qin army is an explosive pack.
As long as the amount is large, even Luo Qi City Gate cannot withstand such power, let alone the wooden city gate under Xiang City.
Just in time!
Jiangyin's army attacked the city all the way.
General Li Zhen, seeing that the situation was not good, withdrew his army to Yecheng in Jizhou.
The gap in combat quality cannot be made up. It is true that the Qin army's combat effectiveness is too strong. If it were to fight head-on, the Qi army's combat effectiveness would not be able to defeat it.
certainly! This is also due to the Qin army's sophisticated weapons and the rigidity of their armor.
The Qin armor was hard enough for Qi soldiers to cut through it with several knives. But Qin's soldiers, with their sharp swords, could easily chop the Qi soldiers' armor into pieces.
Wei Qing, on the other hand, was not idle at all. An army of 50,000 was attacking cities and villages in other parts of Jizhou.
The counties and cities in the north of Jizhou surrendered to Qin without even fighting.
Of course, Wei Qing did not send troops and deliberately went to guard. These people were like big trees in the wind, swaying and could fall to Qin very quickly today. If Qi wins in the future, they will fall to Qi.
The current plan is to eliminate Li Zhen's army entrenched in Ye County as soon as possible.
Of course, it has to be said that Li Zhen, a yellow-robed general, deserves to be treated like this by Dongfang Tian. He sits on one side and leads an army alone. His military and strategic abilities are very strong.
"If these bastards can't be defeated, they will hide in the city. Yecheng is the capital of Jizhou. The city has high walls and thick walls. With our army of 100,000, even if we attack the city, we don't know how long it will take to attack it. It's gone." Zhang Han couldn't help but feel a little angry as he looked at Yecheng, a city with high walls and thick walls.
He scolded Qi Bing for being a bastard in the city.
At this time, Jiang Yin's expression remained unchanged. Looking at Yecheng in the distance, he seemed to have a clever idea in his mind.
"General Zhang Han, let's stop complaining."
"Li Zhen can lead an army on his own, and his abilities are certainly good. If it were me, I would lead the army and retreat into the city to protect the lifeblood of Jizhou."
"As long as Yecheng is not lost, holding it for two or three months will not be a good thing for my army of hundreds of thousands."
after all!
He was fighting in Jizhou, and the weather in the north was basically sleet, or snowy cotton. If you encounter a snowy road several meters deep, then! It is very difficult to transport grain and grass from Beiliang to the front line.
Therefore, the army must capture Yecheng within a month, and then lead the army to join His Majesty, that's it! The state of Qi can be pacified.
"General Zhang Han, please order the army to retreat! Wait for the arrival of General Wei Qing, and then discuss countermeasures to deal with the enemy."
Suddenly! Jiangyin and Zhang Han's army suddenly retreated into the camp.
Just a few days later, Dongfang Yuzi and Dongfang Tian's army met on the outskirts of Taizhou City.
Qin's army numbered 350,000, and there were three other super generals: Bai Qi, Li Jing, and Wang Jian. Although Qi State also has an army of 350,000, the generals under Dongfang Tian are not as good as the generals under Dongfang Yu.
Let's just say that the two armies sent by Dongfangtian may not be able to withstand Jiang Yin and Liu Wenqin, after all! The military talents of the generals who defended the city were very different.
The generals of Qi are no match for those generals of Qin.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
For a time, the armies of both sides, each with 350,000 men, gathered on the battlefield below Taizhou City. The mountains and plains were filled with soldiers, so dark that it made people's scalps go numb when they saw it!
