Chapter five hundred and seventy-eight attack Xuchang
With a stable rear, you can temporarily ignore the southern part of Yuzhou. Bi Quangong directly besieged Xuchang in one battle. Zhang Da sent a message to various soldiers and horses, which means to stop when they are ready and directly attack Xuchang. After entering Yuzhou, all the soldiers and horses gathered together again and marched towards Xuchang in a mighty way.
This army that gathered together again has expanded to nearly 300,000 people. In other words, after a period of war, the various troops have not only not yet lost their strength, but also have a larger scale.
"You must not be careless to capture Xuchang. The letter from the King of Yan has already introduced the situation of Xuchang and the entire Yingchuan. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, Yingchuan has been the place with the largest population in the world, close to the capital, and there is also Xuchang Jiancheng in Yingchuan. Although King Fanyang is not as good as King Hejian, the gentry of Yingchuan can be stronger than the gentry of Yecheng."
After seeing Zhang Da, who was the generals, he quickly entered the state. "The generals have not seen each other for several days. The entire Yuzhou has changed a lot. The troops and horses have been expanded. I believe you can already see the powerful power of the gentry in Yuzhou. Yingchuan is the core of the entire Yuzhou, and even the core of our great Jin gentry. There are many high sects here that have been passed down for a hundred years. The soldiers captured by you have exceeded 100,000, even more than the soldiers in Xuchang Military Town. I don't know what the situation in Yingchuan is, but I think the enemy is strict and I still have to join forces to have a greater confidence."
"When I was still learning in the camp, the textbook of the King of Yan said that Yingchuan has become an important talented place in the Wei State since the end of the Han Dynasty. What the general said was that the gentry in Yuzhou did recruit 100,000 troops overnight, but now they have become our soldiers. Not only Xuchang has many people, they are not our opponents." Qian Ming said silently, "We now have nearly 300,000 troops, and even people can trample on Xuchang."
"You should not underestimate the enemy. Xuchang is also the five capitals of our Great Jin Dynasty, and it is also between Yecheng." Cao Qian shook his head slightly and said, "But this battle has to be fought. After conquering Xuchang, the situation of the King of Yan was like the unity of the six kingdoms in the Warring States Period, and the world was divided by Sima Ying of Guanzhong. However, the prosperity of the entire Central Plains and the population and household registration cannot be compared with Guanzhong. It can be said that once Xuchang is conquered, the King of Yan will be invincible, and the difficulty of our elimination of the world has been reduced by more than one level."
"What the two generals said makes sense. King Yan is now outside Hulao Pass and has just defeated Sima Ying's front army, but Sima Ying has a heavy army of 300,000. We must solve the problem of Yuzhou quickly, otherwise the King of Yan will be ugly." Zhang Da gestured on the map with both hands and said, "To solve this disaster, we can solve a series of passes from Guangcheng, the south of the capital, and through Yishui and Luoshui attack the capital, and even annihilate Sima Ying's army in one fell swoop. Who in the world can fight against King Yan?"
As soon as Zhang Da finished speaking, the generals' expressions changed, as if they were thinking about this possibility. The capital was not a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although it was surrounded by eight passes, there were countless roads and paths. It was not very friendly to all cavalry soldiers like the Xianbei. However, as long as the infantry overcomes the environment, they can attack no matter what method they did.
"There is such a big place in Yingchuan. Xuchang is close to Luoyang. It was also affected by the last time the kings entered Beijing. The food must not last long, and they will not last long." Shi Si expressed his thoughts without any rush, "Xuchang is densely populated, which will cause food and grass to be short of, which is very beneficial to us."
"But we need it as soon as possible, as soon as possible!" Zhang Da emphasized the word "As soon as possible," then looked up and pointed his finger at Xuchang's position, "No matter what, Xuchang must conquer it as soon as possible. The whole army obeys the order, and the whole army enters Yingchuan tomorrow and attacks Xuchang."
"Recruit the General's Order!" The generals bowed and left to prepare. Throughout the whole day, 300,000 soldiers were making final preparations, sewing armor and sharpening the sword. When it was time to start, the soldiers of the army were eating while listening to the significance of capturing Xuchang, which was another variant of why you fought.
"Xuchang gathers your former masters. As long as they die, the land you have obtained now will not be afraid of someone taking it back. The reason here is so simple. However, Xuchang is one of the five capitals of our Great Jin Dynasty. You cannot rob the people. Someone in the army will help you to seek justice and conquer Xuchang. Your worries will be resolved. Our King of Yan can only move forward but not retreat. The entire army will fight to the death. One person escapes and the whole family will sit in the family. If you run away, not only will the land you obtained be taken back, but your family will also be exiled. There will be people guarding the border for thousands of miles of ice in the north. I will do it for me to do it myself."
Regardless of whether chicken soup or not, since the establishment of the Wuwei, it has indeed played a role in solidifying the morale of the army before the war.
Two days later, the generals had led a large army to the city of Xuchang. All the soldiers looked at the reinforced city of Xuchang with a hint of smoke, especially the surrendered soldiers who had been divided into land. Their eyes were full of unknown light. Most of their former masters were in this city, and now both sides were the enemy.
At the top of Xuchang city, Sima Xu looked at the army outside the city with concern. The camp that stretched for dozens of miles showed that it was an unprecedented army. Fortunately, Xuchang was built according to the maximum possibility. The city walls as high as ten feet high and the wide moat gave him great comfort. But just a glance, Sima Xu completely dispelled the plan to expel the enemy and sent a post to Sima Ying with an emergency document to report to Sima Ying and stepped up the defense of Xuchang. He had just returned to Yuzhou. If it weren't for the strong support of the noble gentry in Yuzhou, he would not even have hope to defend it.
"The surrendered troops are the pioneers, charge forward, and each army will suppress them, regardless of primary or secondary, and attack each other day and night, and start!" Zhang Da looked at Xuchang's obviously reinforced city wall and ordered coldly, "No matter what the price is paid, I will take Xuchang down."
The war drums rumbled, and the low drum sounds spread throughout the battlefield. The generals and officers of each army and battalion were screaming loudly, using their own methods to inspire morale. It was completely different from the Xuchang defenders' ears.
Kill... conquer Xuchang! A roar was spread throughout the army and battalions, like a giant turning over. Every step of the 300,000 army had a shocking effect. The intermittent shouts made the defenders on the top of Xuchang City frightened. Finally, when the range was within the range, the rain of arrows was shot out from the archers on both sides. The difference was that even when shooting, the siege army continued to keep pace, dragging the ladder and holding a giant shield, slowly pressing on Xuchang.
