- Why was Jieting City destroyed without a fight?
Zhang Xiu¡¯s head was buzzing, and a big question mark flashed in his mind.
He originally hoped that with Jia Xu's resourcefulness, he could hold off Yuan Fang as much as possible so that he could not surround Maiji Mountain with his entire army.
Then, while Yuan Fang was encircling the street pavilion, he could drive 15,000 cavalry down Maiji Mountain, and use the force of the dive to break through the Qi army's encirclement formation in one fell swoop.
Zhang Xiu never expected that Jieting City would be destroyed without a fight!
"why why?"
Zhang Xiu was horrified, his thoughts were racing, and he suddenly realized something.
It¡¯s Jia Xu, it must be Jia Xu who surrendered to Yuan Fang, otherwise, how could the street pavilion be destroyed without a fight!
In an instant, Zhang Xiu understood everything.
No wonder Jia Xu would give him some tricks and persuade him to station his main force on Maiji Mountain. It turned out that all this was a premeditated trick by Jia Xu.
The intention was to facilitate Jia Xu by offering a street pavilion to Yuan Fang, and even more, to deceive him into Zhang Xiu and trick him into the desperate situation of Maiji Mountain!
¡°Jia Xu, you thief, how dare you betray me, you despicable and shameless person, I¡¯m going to kill you, I¡¯m going to kill you~~¡±
When Zhang Xiu came to his senses, he became so angry that his lungs almost exploded with anger, and he roared in agony.
The Xiliang soldiers on the left and right listened to Zhang Xiu's roar, and then looked down the mountain to see the Jieting City that had been destroyed without a fight, and they soon came to a sudden realization.
The morale of the army was turbulent, and panic spread quickly like a plague.
The Qi army has not yet attacked the city, but the fighting spirit of the Xiliang people. It has fallen by half.
At the bottom of the mountain, Yuan Fang has opened his distance vision pupil. He clearly saw the enemy's panic situation.
"Your Majesty, once the street pavilion is lost, the enemy's morale will be confused. Let's take advantage of the situation to attack the mountain." Ma Chao said impatiently.
Yuan Fang glanced at the mountain again and said calmly: "Maiji Mountain is steep and difficult to defend and difficult to attack. The enemy's morale has not yet dropped to the bottom. Forcibly attacking the mountain will only be a waste of soldiers. Meng Qi, you don't want to impatient."
Ma Chao is also eager for revenge, so he rushes to attack the mountain. He is well versed in the art of war, how could he not know that Maiji Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
"Then what should we do now?" Ma Chaoqiang suppressed the urge for revenge.
Yuan Fang smiled, waved his hand and said: "We don't have to do anything, just have a drink. Sit and wait for the enemies on the mountain to become thirsty, and then deal with them."
Maiji Mountain is more than two hundred feet above the ground. If the enemy on the mountain wants to get water, they must go down the mountain to get water from two nearby streams.
What Yuan Fang has to do now is to completely cut off the enemy's water source by relying on his superior strength. The enemy has no water to drink and the morale of the army is shattered.
At that moment, Yuan Fang sent another 30,000 soldiers and horses to completely cut off the two streams, leaving Zhang Xiu unable to get even a drop of water back.
¡¡
As the Qi army¡¯s siege continued. Even if the Xiliang army on the mountain saves more, time will enter the fourth day. All the water they had was consumed until every drop was left.
More than 15,000 Xiliang troops have been without water for a whole day. The soldiers are getting more and more anxious and frightened. The morale of the troops is rapidly declining.
The siege entered the fifth day. In desperation, Zhang Xiu could only kill horses and drink blood to quench the thirst of his soldiers.
But horse blood can barely quench thirst when you first drink it, but later on you will become thirstier as you drink it, exacerbating the thirst of the soldiers.
"Moreover, Zhang Xiu still counted on these horses to break out of the Qi army's encirclement, and he did not dare to kill horses on a large scale.
As the siege continued, the 15,000 enemy soldiers gradually fell into a state of depression, and the morale of the army was close to the edge of collapse.
At this time, Yuan Fang ordered the Xiliang soldiers and horses who had returned from the street pavilion to summon their companions at the foot of the mountain day and night to disrupt the enemy's morale.
Finally, some soldiers in the Xiliang army couldn't bear the thirst and chose to escape down the mountain and surrender to the Qi army.
The enemy soldiers began to surrender, which was equivalent to sending a signal to Yuan Fang that his siege had been effective and Zhang Xiu could no longer hold on.
On that day, Yuan Fang was patrolling at the foot of the mountain, looking at the enemy's situation on the mountain from a distance, and was already thinking about when to launch an attack.
"I'm going to report to your Majesty. I'll send a message back from the south. Han Sui heard that Jieting City has been lost and Zhang Xiu is surrounded. Tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers have joined forces. They seem to want to rush towards Jieting from Longxi County."
Hearing the news, Yuan Fang frowned slightly.
Han Sui still has more than 30,000 cavalry. If he recruits tens of thousands more Qiang soldiers, he will be a force that cannot be underestimated.
Dealing with large-scale cavalry can never be taken lightly. Yuan Fang mustBreak down the street pavilion and concentrate all your efforts on the final decisive battle with Han Sui.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Xiu hasn't forced a breakout yet, which means he's not at the end of the road yet, and it's time to give him a fatal blow."
Jia Xu gently stroked his beard, and there was a trace of indifference on his gleaming old face.
"What is the fatal blow that Wen He is talking about?" Yuan Fang asked, his spirit already high.
"fire."
Jia Xu didn't say much, and just said the word "fire" coldly.
For a master of extraordinary resourcefulness like Yuan Fang, one word of reminder is enough.
"fire?"
Yuan Fang pondered for a moment, then fell into a trance, and a solemn sneer appeared on Yingwu's face.
On the same day, Yuan Convenient used Jia Xu's plan and sent Ju Yi to lead 3,000 crossbowmen first, and began to fire rockets towards Maiji Mountain day and night.
The Xiliang army is thirsty and short of water, and is already in dire straits. If coupled with the burning fire, Yuan Fang believes that this will be enough to accelerate the collapse of the enemy army.
So, the order was given, and from day to night, the rockets in the sky kept flying and began to fall towards Maiji Mountain all the time.
When Zhang Xiu set up camp on the top of the mountain, although most of the trees on the top had been cut down, there were still dense weeds on the ground.
The Qi army did not need to shoot rockets at the enemy camp on the top of the mountain. They only needed to light up the weeds at the foot of the mountain, and the fire would naturally spread to the top of the mountain.
Arrows fell like meteors, the fire was raging, and the smoke was billowing. In just half a day, the entire Maiji Mountain was enveloped in fireworks, as if it had turned into a big steamer.
And the raging fire, and the black smoke everywhere. Soon, the enemy troops, who were already so thirsty that sparks appeared in their throats, were made even worse.
When the Qi army¡¯s rockets shot into the enemy camp. People in Xiliang didn't even have water to drink, and how could they get water to put out the fire? They could only use tarpaulins or clothes to put out the fire, but it was impossible to put it out.
For two days in a row, under the Qi army's almost "ravage", fire and smoke tactics, the Xiliang army collapsed physically and mentally, even the general Zhang Xiu. I was already panicking and didn't know how to respond.
On the third day after being ravaged by rockets, Yuan Fang judged that the morale of the Xiliang army had collapsed, so on Jia Xu's suggestion, he ordered a full-scale attack on Maiji Mountain.
Amidst the rumble of war drums. Tens of thousands of Qi troops came out of camp and gathered densely at the foot of the mountain. The endless sea of ??flags, shaped like a vast ocean, "flooded" Maiji Mountain into an isolated island.
"Zhang Xiu, you have always been against me. I have let you escape death several times. This time, let me see where you will run."
Yuan Fang's murderous thoughts were like fire. Fang Tian pointed his halberd and shouted: "The whole army attacks. Go up the mountain and kill all the enemy thieves -"
A thunderous roar. Shaking the mountains and fields.
The sound of war drums soared into the sky, and the red royal flag of Da Qi danced like the wind, giving the order to attack to the 200,000 Da Qi soldiers.
Zhang Fei, Xu Huang, and Wei Yan, all generals who were good at commanding the infantry, inspired thousands of Daqi soldiers to rush towards the mountains one after another, regardless of their own safety.
Ma Chao, Ma Yunlu, Pang De and other Ma family surrendered generals were only good at commanding cavalry, but because they were eager for revenge, Yuan Fang also allowed them to lead the infantry and join the team that attacked the mountain.
Amidst the rumbling war drums, the Daqi soldiers who had been well fed and ready for a long time, like hungry wild beasts, launched the most violent attack on the Xiliang army on Maiji Mountain from all directions.
On the top of the mountain, Zhang Xiu, whose face was darkened and smoked by the fireworks until his eyes were filled with stars, was already frowning and looking at the Qi army rushing up the mountain angrily but helplessly.
In front of me, the swarming Qi army at the foot of the mountain had already rushed halfway up the mountainside under the cover of black smoke.
And every Qi soldier was extremely "luxurious" and tightly wrapped his mouth and nose with a wet cloth soaked in water to prevent being choked by fireworks.
Looking around the entire top of the mountain, arrows were raining down, and the sound of killings was loud.
The Qi army, charging from all sides, aimed at the four camp gates on the top of the mountain and launched the most violent attack.
The tide of Qi troops coming up from all over the mountains and plains was like huge black waves, lapping at the isolated reef of Xiliang Army one after another.
"Fire arrows for me to block the enemy thieves. Don't retreat. Block them for me~~" Zhang Xiu waved his big gun and shouted in a hoarse voice.
The wind and rain were blowing, and the fighting spirit of the Xiliang people was eroded. Under Zhang Xiu's scolding, they finally inspired the fierceness of the Xiliang people themselves, and they made a final counterattack in a desperate situation.
In the enemy camp on the top of the mountain, the crossbowmen of the Xiliang Army endured the smoke and fire and fought desperatelyIt was launched towards the Qi army that was rushing forward.
And by virtue of their condescending attitude, the Qi army's surging offensive momentum was slightly curbed.
The terrain of Maiji Mountain was already steep, making it difficult for the Qi army to attack from above. However, the trees on the hillside had been cut down by the Xiliang people in advance, and the grass had been burned by fire, leaving the Qi army with nowhere to hide and had no choice but to move forward under the rain of arrows.
After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, the Qi army was forced to retreat in the first round of strong attack.
Yuan Fang was angry.
With the painted halberd in his hand, he pointed toward the mountain and shouted: "Continue to attack, never retreat. Before dark, you must capture the top of the mountain for me and kill it!"
Encouraged by Yuan Fang Weihe, the rumbling war drums sounded again, and thousands of Qi troops formed rows of shield formations, bravely moving forward against the rain of arrows.
When one person falls, the soldiers behind him jump on him without hesitation, and attack one after another.
At the same time, the crossbow troops led by Ju Yi also took up a firing position halfway up the mountain, firing upwards all the time to suppress the enemy's arrow attacks on top.
The fierce confrontation lasted until dusk, and both armies suffered heavy casualties.
Looking around, I saw that from the top of the mountain to the hillside, there were countless corpses lying in various directions. The blood flowing was like huge red carpets. Blood and fire covered the entire Maiji Mountain.
Although Yuan Fang lost a lot of troops and horses, he had 200,000 troops. If they fell in one wave, he could send another wave of fresh troops up without hesitation.
Zhang Xiu's army only had more than 10,000 men, one less one died, and he was thirsty for a long time. He was in physical and mental hardship, and he only fought with the instinct of survival.
Under the endless onslaught of the Qi army, the remaining will of the Xiliang army finally collapsed completely.
Zhang Xiu himself had a mental breakdown. - 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
