Chapter 1902: Yanjing Offensive and Defensive Battle (11)
Chapter 1900: Yanjing Offensive and Defensive Battle (11)
Although Su Jian, the garrison commander of the North Gate, was dead, the deputy general was still there, so the Han army did not have a chaotic command because they did not have a garrison command.
But this deputy general has limited abilities and cannot compete with the famous general Xue Rengui at all.
Xue Rengui also discovered this, so the method of siege continued to change, but Deputy General Su Jian could not keep up with his pace, which caused the situation in the North Gate to decline.
Therefore, when the commander Xue Gang arrived, the happiest thing was not the defenders, but Su Jian’s deputy general.
After fighting with famous generals like Xue Rengui, he realized that the gap between him and famous generals was simply a separation between heaven and earth.
While waving the flag, Xue Gang ordered: "First move away all the damaged catapult carts and crossbows. The rest are not damaged. Follow my command of the commander, aim at the 18th Qin army''s well railings and launch them."
[Dingdong, the effect 2 of the ''Five Tigers and One Tai Sui'' is activated. When the four people are present, the commander will be +1.
Xue Gang is the basic commander of 97, Liu Che is ‘Wuxiong’ +3, and the current commander has risen to 101. 】
When Xue Rengui saw Xue Gang appearing on the top of the city, he felt a vague premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, he was about to shoot an arrow at Xue Gang, but the arrow had just hit the bow. The next moment, all the catapults and crossbows of the North Gate Tower were aimed at his location.
"not good."
After Xue Rengui screamed, he turned around and jumped down the well railing, running towards the formation. This time he really didn''t have time to save people.
Xue Rengui ran all the way, and quickly didn''t even look behind him, because he knew that there must be arrow stones behind him at this time.
Boom... Boom...
Hundreds of stone bullets and thousands of crossbow arrows fell, and the target was where Xue Rengui was just now. The well railing instantly smashed into a sieve.
The dozens of soldiers who were still on it were too late to escape were even screaming. They either smashed the flying stones falling from the sky into meat pie or were penetrated by crossbow arrows as thick as wrists. Their death was extremely miserable.
The range of flying stone arrow rain is very wide. Although Xue Rengui avoided the densest areas, there are still a few sporadic stone bullet crossbow arrows falling around him.
Xue Rengui escaped and avoided all the stone bullets and crossbow arrows, but Xue Gang on the city tower directed the stone casting cart and continued to fire flying stones and crossbow arrows at him, so another rain of arrows and stones hit him.
Seeing this, Xue Rengui quickly blew a whistle, and his psychic mount Bai Linju, after hearing the whistle of his master, immediately turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed towards his master.
Boom...boom...boom...boom...boom...
Flying stones kept falling down, Xue Rengui dodged left and right, then jumped onto Bai Linju''s back, and waved the halberd blocking stone, and rode the BMW all the way back to the formation.
"Huh, it''s so dangerous."
Xue Rengui breathed a sigh of relief. The concentration of more than 20 catapult cars and hundreds of bed crossbows made him feel a little unbearable. I really don’t know how Sun Lingming was safe and sound under the firepower of a city.
When Xue Gang saw Xue Rengui running back without any damage, his face suddenly looked unhappy. He thought that under his personal command, he could still hurt Xue Rengui even if he could not kill him, but he did not expect that he would not even hurt a single hair of the other party.
"You''re lucky."
Xue Gang said coldly, then stepped down from the city wall and hid his body. He would not make a low-level mistake like Su Jian.
Suddenly he was "bombarded" by the Han army and almost injured, so Xue Rengui naturally wanted to take revenge.
So, when he returned to his own formation, Xue Rengui was preparing to command the catapult car to attack Xue Gang, so that he could also feel the feeling of being bombed. However, before the order was issued, Xue Gang disappeared himself, and the Qin army''s catapult car lost the total target. "Hmph, you can run fast." Xue Rengui snorted coldly with an unhappy look on his face.
After Xue Gang arrived, under the command of Commander 101, the chaos in the North Gate command was quickly suppressed.
The equipment to defend the city in the North Gate was too serious and was completely suppressed by the Qin army in terms of firepower. If there were no spare equipment to replace it, they would be in a state of being passively beaten until the moat was completely filled.
Although the moat in Yanjing was dug very deeply, there was always one day when the Qin army filled it, and the Qin army could officially attack the city.
Therefore, Xue Gang must reverse the unfavorable defense of the North Gate before the moat is filled.
Xue Gang ordered the removal of damaged and unusable equipment in order to free up the intact and usable equipment, and he brought fifty catapults and two hundred crossbows, which just happened to be the vacancies for damaged equipment.
Under Xue Gang''s command, the soldiers in the North Gate were no longer rushing towards headless flies. The transport of materials and the control equipment were carried out in an orderly manner toward the better side.
Xue Rengui outside the city also discovered the changes in the Han army, but there was no way to do this. After all, Xue Gang''s arrival not only gave the North Gate defenders a backbone, but also brought a large number of reinforcements and substitute weapons to the North Gate.
The addition of these reinforcements and equipment made Xue Rengui''s previous efforts go to waste all of his time.
In addition, even Xue Rengui could not find Xue Gang''s flaw in command for a while, so he could only make steady progress and weaken the defenders little by little.
After re-stabilizing the North Gate, Xue Gang felt relieved in his heart, and then asked someone to **** Su Jian''s deputy general Zhang Wei over.
Looking at Zhang Wei''s terrified expression, Xue Gang sighed and said, "I know this is not your fault, it is not your incompetence, but Xue Rengui is too strong."
Hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Zhang Wei''s eyes, but Xue just rushed him to **** with the words behind him.
"But North Gate has such a huge loss, someone will always bear the responsibility."
Xue Gang patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder and said indifferently: "Go with peace of mind, I will raise your wife and children."
"big…"
Zhang Wei spoke in horror, but before he finished speaking, Xue Gang cut off his head with a sword.
"When the order is passed on, Zhang Wei is incompetent, causing heavy losses to the North Gate. He has been mobilized by the general on the spot." Xue Gang said coldly.
The siege continues, and the losses of both Qin and Han sides are quite large.
In the early stage, the Han army suffered more casualties than the Qin army.
But as Xue Gang transferred the army back, the Han army received support, and the casualties ratio between the two sides began to gradually remained unchanged.
But overall, the casualties of the Qin army were still lower than those of the Han army.
As the sky was getting darker, the sunset and the moon rose, Su Dingfang ordered the withdrawal of troops back to the camp, and the one-day siege ended.
The Qin army neither was able to fill the moat nor destroyed all the equipment on the top of the city, but they still achieved brilliant results, but their own casualties were also quite large.
