Chapter 302 The veteran takes action
Qinzhou is the gateway to Chang'an. Li Xiaogong and Duan Zhixuan led their troops and traveled all night long, and finally arrived in Qinzhou before Li Zhi's army arrived.
At this time, the defeated troops of the Tang Dynasty in front also poured into Qinzhou, numbering tens of thousands. As a result, the number of Tang officials and troops in Qinzhou reached 150,000.
At first glance, the Tang Dynasty's official army was quite large in number, but upon closer analysis, you will find that most of the Tang Dynasty's official troops were new troops and remnants of defeated generals. The real elite only included a few central imperial guards such as the Qianniu Guards.
Li Xiaogong has been in battle for a long time and naturally understands the situation he is currently in. Therefore, he did not rush to attack, but formulated an all-out defense strategy for the Tang army.
Because most new troops are not familiar with field battles, but defending a city is different. Even a woman can play her role in defending a city.
More importantly, Li Xiaogong discovered a weakness of Li Zhijun, that is, Li Zhijun did not have a stable supply of food and fodder.
Li Zhijun threatened more than 200,000 young men along the way. Adding to the original 150,000 people, the number has reached 400,000. These 400,000 people can solve logistical problems by looting at the beginning, but over time, they will inevitably be without food. available situation.
Therefore, Li Xiaogong was determined to fight a protracted war with Li Zhi, using Qinzhou's strong city defenses to stop Li Zhijun's progress and consume Li Zhijun's food and grass bit by bit.
Once Li Zhi¡¯s army has run out of food and morale, he can launch a counterattack. In this way, he can decide in one battle and eliminate the rebellion.
Xue Wanche, who was on Li Zhi's side and was also a veteran on the battlefield, naturally saw Li Xiaogong's intention. He had to admit that Li Xiaogong was very sophisticated and this move hit the rebels' Achilles' heel.
Xue Wanche also knew that his army's supplies depended entirely on looting, and the areas around Qinzhou had been completely looted by them during this period. The people's homes were so clean that even a mouse could hang himself.
The food in the army can only support an army of 400,000 for ten days. If Qinzhou cannot be captured as soon as possible, then the army of 400,000 may collapse at any time.
For this reason, Xue Wanche asked his soldiers to curse all day outside Qinzhou City, but Li Xiaogong and Duan Zhixuan just held on, acting like dead pigs who are not afraid of boiling water.
Li Xiaogong and Duan Zhixuan can afford to wait, but Xue Wanche cannot. Xue Wanche has now actually controlled the rebel army. Li Zhi is just a decoration, and Chai Lingwu's army is not qualified and prestigious enough, so they can only follow Xue Wanche's lead. At the moment, Xue Wanche Gritting his teeth, he decided to use a stupid method, which was to launch a strong attack on Qinzhou City.
Xue Wanche¡¯s move is very poisonous. Although many soldiers and young men will be lost by doing so, the death of soldiers and young men also means that the number of people eating food will decrease.
" Moreover, as long as Qinzhou City is broken, then the wealth of Qinzhou City can completely provide for the expenses of the rebels. For this purpose, even if the sacrifice is large, it is worth it.
At this moment, following Xue Wanche¡¯s order, the rebels drove the death camp and launched a violent attack on Qinzhou.
"Kill!"
Countless young men were driven towards Qinzhou City by soldiers. They only held simple swords and guns in their hands, and some even only had some farm tools. Not to mention armor, they even had untidy clothes.
"These young men don't want to fight, but they have no choice. If anyone runs too slowly, the rebel soldiers supervising the battle behind them will not hesitate to stab them."
"Kill!"
Countless young men carried simple ladders and rushed towards Qinzhou City.
On Taizhou City, countless rolling logs and rocks fell from the top of the city to the bottom of the city.
"ah!"
A man was holding a hoe in his right hand and climbing up the ladder when a big stone fell on him from the top of the city.
The man screamed and was knocked down from the ladder to the ground. The big stone fell on the man's body, and the man's intestines were torn.
Another man climbed up the ladder and was hit in the head by a big rock. Most of the man's head was smashed into his chest, and his body fell from the ladder to the ground.
"Fire the arrow!"
On the top of the city, Duan Zhixuan roared, and countless feather arrows attacked the young men below. These young men did not have armor, and they screamed for a while, and were shot to the ground one by one.
The young men behind them didn¡¯t look good, so many people turned around and ran away.
"Go back, you guys are afraid of death!"
A small rebel colonel held a big knife in his hand, stepped on a headless corpse with one foot, looked at a young man running over from a distance, and swung the knife.
"flutter!"
That young and strong oneA head flew out immediately, and blood spurted out from Lao Gao.
The rebel primary school shouted: "Go back to me, otherwise, I will chop off your heads and kick them as balls!"
The next moment, hundreds of rebel soldiers stood behind the rebel primary school holding bright swords. Anyone who fled to them would have their heads chopped off.
The remaining young men had no choice but to return the same way and launched a desperate charge towards Qinzhou City
The battle lasted for a day and a night. The rebels led the young men to launch wave after wave of attacks on Qinzhou City. The corpses under Qinzhou City lay several meters high, and the blood dyed the land under Qinzhou City red. Day and night, the battle continued. In the war, tens of thousands of young men died under Qinzhou City.
Outside Qinzhou City, Xue Wanche¡¯s face showed no trace of intolerance, but only endless cruelty. He had no pity for these young men who died in battle.
In Xue Wanche¡¯s opinion, the purpose of these young men is to consume the enemy¡¯s arrows and serve as cannon fodder. If he can catch a lot of such cannon fodder, he has nothing to begrudge.
Chai Lingwu on the side said: "General, if this continues, even if these young men are dead, we will not be able to capture Qinzhou City."
Xue Wanche snorted coldly and said: "Go ahead and attack day and night. Don't give the Tang army defending the city an opportunity to take advantage of it. As for these young men, it would be better if they died, and they can save food."
Chai Lingwu's heart trembled. Although he was brave, this was his first actual combat. Seeing the scene of corpses all over the ground, he couldn't help but feel frightened. Hearing what Xue Wanche said, he felt fear in his heart. He couldn't help thinking to himself, this General Xue He is so cold and untouchable
The war lasted for three days and three nights, with more than 200,000 young men and women dead and wounded most of them. Under Qinzhou City, there was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of ????blood. Hundreds of thousands of young and strong corpses were laid out layer after layer under Qinzhou City.
On the top of the city, Li Xiaogong and Duan Zhixuan kept shouting with red eyes. Their voices had been hoarse from shouting for a long time. For three days and three nights, they stayed at the top of the city without sleeping.
Once again repelling the rebel attack, Li Xiaogong said to Duan Zhixuan: "Old Duan, how are you doing?"
"Your Majesty, I'm still fine! I can beat him for another three days and three nights!" Duan Zhixuan said in a hoarse voice.
"You are an old man, you are already in your fifties and you still don't accept old age!"
"Haha, if I am seventy years old, can I still make a living? I am only fifty, so I can still work for another twenty years!" Duan Zhixuan laughed.
"Old Duan, it seems that the rebels want to capture Qinzhou by force regardless of sacrifice. If we continue like this without sleep, Qinzhou will definitely be captured before long."
"My lord, the worst that can happen is death! I, Duan Zhixuan, have spent my entire life as a soldier and died here. I have served my country loyally and deserved to die!" Duan Zhixuan said.
"Okay! A man has lived a heroic life, so he has nothing to fear from death! Twenty years later, he will be an upright man again!" Li Xiaogong also laughed loudly.
"Your Majesty said it well, even if my old Duan is wrapped in horse leather, then"
"boom!"
Duan Zhixuan couldn't speak anymore. An arrow had hit his throat, passed through his neck, and blood spattered out.
"Old Duan!" Li Xiaogong was shocked and rushed forward to help Duan Zhixuan lie down. Duan Zhixuan's mouth moved twice, his head sank, and he stopped breathing.
"Kill!"
The next moment, countless rebels came from outside the city. This time, it was not the young people who attacked, but the elite forces of the rebels. Countless rebels wore helmets and armor and rushed straight to Qinzhou City, stepping on the young and strong soldiers. The corpse climbed towards Qinzhou City
"Meet the enemy!"
Li Xiaogong looked up to the sky and roared (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
