The combat effectiveness of the soldiers in Tianshui City was very low, which made Zhang He feel very relaxed. When we attacked the city yesterday, there were already soldiers climbing to the top of the city. So today, he must break the city.
After the soldiers had a good meal, Zhang He continued to lead three thousand troops and arrived outside the east gate.
On the top of the city, Jiang Juan stands proudly like a tall and tall tree. Xiliang soldiers stood densely at the crenellations of the city wall, with swords and spears standing in large numbers and bowstrings fully drawn.
But Zhang He soon discovered that the morale of the Xiliang soldiers was not high and they lacked a murderous spirit.
"Siege the city!"
This time, Zhang He directly issued the order without any unnecessary words.
The crossbowmen on both sides began to shoot at each other. Cao Jun braved the rain of arrows, carried the ladder, and pushed the arrow tower and bumper wood to rush towards the city.
Rolling logs, thunder and stones rained down like a rainstorm, screams continued from the city, and corpses piled up like mountains.
But the ladder was still placed on the top of the city, and Cao's soldiers climbed up one after another. Finally, someone came to the top of the city, and the bodies of the Xiliang army kept falling off the top of the city.
As the number of Cao's troops on the city increased, the Xiliang soldiers began to retreat.
The strong men carrying the wooden blocks hit the city gate again and again. Each time the dull sound made the Xiliang soldiers tremble in their hearts, as if they were stabbed by a sharp arrow. But to the soldiers of Cao's army, it was so exciting.
There was a loud "bang" sound, and the heavy city gate was finally broken.
"Charge in!" Zhang He waved the big gun in his hand, and Cao's army poured into the city gate hole like a tidal wave breaking a dike.
Zhang He also rushed into the city gate surrounded by three hundred personal guards.
The Xiliang army was defeated after a brief resistance.
Zhang He led his army and quickly rushed to the top of the city. He saw Jiang Juan covered in blood and holding a long sword in his hand. There were only about thirty soldiers around him, and all of them were injured.
"Jiang Huan, you are a man. The destruction of Tianshui City was not your fault, can you surrender?" Zhang He said loudly.
"Zhang He, you did not cut off the water source of Tianshui City. You defeated me with a good army. I, Jiang Jun, admire you. And on behalf of the people of Tianshui, I would like to thank you I did not burn the food and grass in the city, in order to prevent To prevent rioters from looting looting, it has been sealed but loyal ministers will not not interfere with the two masters!"
After Jiang Juan finished speaking intermittently, he suddenly raised his sword horizontally and committed suicide. And his body was still leaning against the crenellations of the city wall, his eyes wide-eyed.
"General!"
More than thirty Xiliang soldiers all screamed and knelt in front of Jiang Juan.
"The general is a loyal man, you should give him a good burial!" Zhang He said to the Xiliang soldiers.
"Thank you, General"
The soldiers burst into tears of gratitude and hurriedly carried Jiang Juan¡¯s body down the tower.
"This general orders us not to harm the people in the city or the families of Xiliang officials!"
"No!"
Xiangyang Chengzhou Mufu.
Although it was already dark, the lights were still on in Liu Cong's study. Liu Cong, Pang Tong, Fazheng, Ma Liang and other four people were all staring at the map.
During this period, Tianwang Camp has been keeping its eyes fixed on the battle between Cao Cao and Ma Teng.
Liu Cong learned of the news that Zhang He led an army of 10,000 people, crossed the Qinling Trail, occupied street pavilions, and launched a surprise attack on Tianshui.
"My lord, what a wonderful move Cao Cao made! Confronted Chencang, pretended to attack the pass, and made a surprise attack on Tianshui!" Pang Tong's face was full of admiration, "Jia Wenhe really made a ruthless move, and he didn't miss anything!"
"Yes!" Fazheng also nodded, "Jia Xu has clearly seen the importance of the street pavilion, but Ma Teng didn't think of it!"
"Shiyuan, Xiaozhi, what will be the outcome of the battle of Chencang?" Liu Cong asked.
"There is no suspense anymore. Ma Teng will be defeated soon, and things will change in Xiliang. Let's give Han Sui a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Pang Tong's eyes suddenly became very deep, "Lord, this time we should There¡¯s something big going on.¡±
"Can our food, grass and equipment be enough to sustain a war?"
"Don't worry, my lord!" Ma Liang stood up immediately, "Now our food and grass in Jingzhou can be used by a hundred thousand troops for one year in wartime!"
"A hundred thousand troops, enough for one year of war?" Pang Tong and Fazheng asked in shock almost at the same time.
A hundred thousand troops are used for one year, which is a very large number, and the consumption during wartime is twice that in peacetime. Moreover, the Han army's series of reward policies require money and food. Although Pang Tong and Fazheng did not care about the preparation of food and grass, as military advisors, they paid great attention to quantity. No matter how good the plan is, if there is no food and grass, it will still beOne defeat.
"Shiyuan, Xiaozhi, you may not know it well. If my lord is doing business, he must be as rich as any other country! Now our money and food in Jingzhou, let alone in the south, are unmatched by anyone. Even Cao Cao is still among us! "
"What?" The two of them were shocked again.
??Cao Cao has the land of Jiuzhou!
"This all depends on Ji Chang's management and Bo Chang's ability to make money!"
"Without the foresight of the master, how could we have such great abilities!" Ma Liang was very humble, but he was very happy in his heart, and at the same time he was even more grateful for his original choice.
"What about equipment?"
"The ladders, arrow towers, wood-ramming vehicles, and thunderbolt carts have all been improved, and the quantity is completely sufficient. Arrows, throwing spears, Chinese knives, and shields can equip hundreds of thousands of troops. The newly made Gale Crossbow Cart is a bit bulky, and the number of hand-held repeating crossbows is Not much, we have already allocated three thousand mates to the Feitian Camp."
"Can Li Yan's Tiger Camp be equipped with three thousand hand-held repeating crossbows?"
"Two thousand should be no problem, but three thousand is a bit difficult. I urge the craftsmen to hurry up and make it."
"Okay! Increase the wages of those craftsmen. Remember, if you want to improve efficiency, as long as you increase the wages high enough, you will definitely succeed. Human potential is unlimited!"
"Thank you for your teaching, my lord, I will keep it in mind!"
"My lord, what is the repeating crossbow?" Fazheng asked with confusion on his face, "Is the gale crossbow the wind crossbow used by the Qin army back then?"
"Yes, the Gale Crossbow is just a Wind Crossbow, but it has been improved by craftsmen. As for the hand-held repeating crossbow tomorrow we will go to Feitian Camp outside the city and we will understand after taking a look."
The hand-held repeating crossbow is actually the Zhuge repeating crossbow, but Zhuge Liang has not invented it yet. Historically, it only appeared during the Northern Expedition.
Liu Cong in his previous life once saw it in a museum. He held it in his hand, pulled the trigger, and fired an arrow. A total of ten arrows could be fired, just like a submachine gun.
Its principle is not complicated. There are five arrow slots on each side, which are connected to different bow strings. After the strings are fully drawn, they are fixed at different positions of the trigger. When the trigger is pulled, the arrow will shoot out.
Of course, you have to control the strength. If you use too much force, ten arrows will fly out at the same time, or several arrows may fly out. Every time you shoot an arrow, you need good technique.
The invention of hot weapons cannot be achieved overnight, so Liu Cong stepped up the improvement of cold weapons. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
