"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 811
In September, the 100,000 rebels led by the rebel leader Yang Hao arrived outside the capital of Pingyong Prefecture.
Seeing the overwhelming rebel troops crowding the fields, woods, bridges and roads outside the city, the Qinghe army at the head of the city also looked solemn.
?The rebels' banners are unfurling, and their strength is strong. Looking around, they are densely packed with black and moving heads, giving people a strong visual impact.
? When the rebel leader Yang Hao commanded troops approaching Pingyong Mansion, Qinghe Army Deputy Commander Liu Yidao sent two troops to attack, and the main force of the First Army was waiting in full force at Pingyong Mansion.
The city walls of Pingyong Mansion have been repaired and strengthened. Seeing the arrival of the rebels, the heavy city gates were slowly closed.
The officers gave orders one after another, and teams of Qinghe soldiers in black uniforms trotted up the city ladder to the top of the city, and then lined up, their sharp spears glowing with a metallic glint.
The vigilant archers also stood behind the battlements one after another, their crossbows clutched tightly in their hands, their faces stern.
"The rebel army really has a lot of soldiers and generals."
Seeing the endless rebel army outside the city, Zhou Ba, the deputy head of the army, was faintly excited.
"It's just a bunch of mobs. You see, they don't have complete weapons and armor, so how can they be the opponent of our Qinghe Army!" Li Tiehui, the head of the Fifth Banner, said in a low voice.
The head of the One-Armed Banner was born in a heavy prisoner, with a ferocious look on his fleshy face, which made people daunting.
"Deputy Marshal, do you want me to take the brothers to demoralize them while they are not getting a firm foothold?"
Wang Hu, the head of the Fourth Banner, looked away from the clamoring rebel formation outside the city, and asked the deputy commander Liu Yidao to fight.
Deputy Commander Liu Yidao shook his head and declined Wang Hu's invitation to fight.
Because there are many rebels outside the city, although the Qinghe army is elite, they are hard to beat with two fists. Now that they have a solid city in their hands, they can't go out and fight the rebels in a field battle.
"Pass down my military order, all ministries will stick to the city and not attack without authorization¡ª"
After the deputy commander Liu Yidao glanced at everyone, he ordered with a serious face.
"No!"
Deputy Marshal Liu Yidao is now concurrently serving as the head of the First Army. His vision is no longer limited to how many enemies he has killed and how many victories he has won.
Now what Liu Yidao needs to consider is the achievement of strategic goals.
Their strategic goal is not to eliminate the rebels, but to drive the rebels to Dongjiang Province, so he is not in a hurry to fight the rebels outside the city.
Zhang Bao, the deputy commander of the army, and Guo Wei, the commander of the Sixth Banner of the Cavalry, have already led the troops to set off.
As long as these two troops complete their mission and destroy the food supply of the rebels, the rebels will retreat without a fight.
So what they need to do now is to rely on the strong city of Pingyong Mansion and slowly spend time with the rebels here.
Although Wang Hu, Li Tiechui and the others have been promoted to the head of the banner, they are inexperienced and their vision is limited.
They didn't think that the strategic goal was so lofty now. When they saw the rebels outside the city, they thought it was all military exploits, and they were eager to try.
It's just that the deputy commander Liu Yidao gave the order, and they didn't understand it in time, but they could only obey it.
After all, Li Qiye, chief of staff, is sitting in Lingchuan Mansion next door.
If it was one of them who disobeyed orders on the battlefield and Li Qiye found out and stabbed them up and told Chen Ziang, they would not be able to bear it.
"I didn't expect the thieves to be so calm."
Yang Hao deliberately put the weakest troops at the front in a mess, just to create an illusion that they are a mob, and at the same time send people to fight.
As long as the commander of the Qinghe Army in Pingyongfu City can't hold his breath, he might take the risk of attacking them.
And Yang Hao's elite Tiger and Leopard Battalion is behind. Once the Qinghe Army leaves the city, his elite Tiger and Leopard Battalion will bite up and take the opportunity to seize the city.
But to Yang Hao's disappointment, the Qinghe army at the top of the city turned a deaf ear to their chaotic formation and clamor.
"Send an order to go back ten miles and set up camp."
Seeing that there was no way to lure the Qinghe army out of the city, Yang Hao ordered to set up camp.
The 100,000 chaotic rebels retreated slowly, and then erected dense camps in the villages and fields outside the city of Pingyong Prefecture, stretching for more than ten miles.
The rebel army was exhausted after running all the way, so after setting up camp, Yang Hao did not order to attack the city, but buriedMake food, cut down trees to make siege weapons.
A large area of ??forest was cut down overnight, hundreds of ladders were manufactured, and all the wooden collisions were prepared.
The noise of the rebel camp outside the city of Pingyong Prefecture did not subside until midnight.
"Deputy Marshal, the rebels are probably about to attack the city."
The next day just after dawn, the sleeping deputy commander Liu Yidao was awakened by the guards.
Liu Yidao didn't dare to be careless. After dressing neatly, he went straight to the top of the city. Wang Hu and other banner leaders had already arrived.
They looked out of the city, and the rebel army of the brigade drove out of the camp and formed a whole team in the wilderness.
"Captain Wang Banner, I will hand it over to your Fourth Banner Regiment today, and the Fifth Banner Regiment will come up tomorrow."
Deputy Marshal Liu Yidao taught the task of defending the city on the first day to Wang Hu, the head of the Fourth Banner.
"Don't worry, the deputy commander, the Fourth Banner Regiment will definitely defeat the rebels!" Wang Hu said excitedly.
Deputy Marshal Liu Yidao and the others quickly left the city head, and gave up the command position of the city head to Wang Hu, the head of the Fourth Banner.
"Bring me our big crossbow!"
Seeing the dense array of rebels outside the city, Wang Hu ordered to take out the secret weapon.
Their octagonal ox crossbow is an improved sharp weapon in the base camp, each of which can fire four crossbow bolts at the same time.
These four crossbow bolts are thinner than before, about the same thickness as spears, but after the weight is reduced, the range and lethality are greatly increased.
The crossbow arrows shot by this octagonal ox crossbow can still penetrate the shield at a distance of two hundred steps, which can be said to be full of lethality.
And now there are twenty octagonal ox crossbows equipped with the Fourth Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army.
In addition to the lethal octagonal ox crossbow, there are also two thicker bed crossbows. The arrows are as thick as a forearm. They are improved on the basis of the octagonal ox crossbow and are more powerful.
The archers of the Fourth Banner Regiment deployed on the front line no longer use the traditional hard bows, but the latest crossbows.
To cultivate a traditional hard archer, it often takes at least half a year to practice archery.
And on the battlefield, because archers need to constantly draw their bows and shoot arrows, often after shooting more than a dozen arrows, their arms will become sore and weak.
But the crossbow is different. As long as the crossbow machine is not damaged and there are enough crossbow arrows, the archers can shoot continuously and maintain their combat effectiveness.
However, the manufacturing process of the crossbow machine is very difficult. Now the Qinghe Army is mainly equipped with front-line combat troops, and each banner group can only be equipped with 2,000 crossbow machines.
The crossbowmen used by these two thousand crossbowmen were larger than the exquisite hand crossbows, and had a longer range. Each of them carried fifty crossbow arrows on their backs. Following an order, the crossbowmen stepped forward with cold eyes The crossbow arrows were quickly aimed at the outside of the city. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
