Turbulent Times Chapter 1410: Combination meter

Wang Chengguang, the chief general Liu Wuzhou sent out of the city, fled back to the city of Mayi County alone, took the leather bag, and after returning to Liu Wuzhou's life, he handed the head to Huang Lao who was next to him.

The old man Huang held his son's head in his arms, never took it out to look at it, and never shed a tear, he only wanted to kill Wang Junlin and everyone in the Xuanfeng Camp, and avenge his son.

Liu Wuzhou also looked resentful, and ordered: "Come here, find a craftsman in the city to carve Huang Xiaohu's body so that he can be buried."

After finishing the order, Liu Wuzhou didn't dare to delay any longer, so he immediately went to the top of the city and began to direct the city defense.

Not long after Liu Wuzhou arrived at the top of the city, the Far East Army outside the city also began to attack the city, and the offensive and defensive battle of Mayi County officially started.

Liu Wuzhou, Huang Lao, and all the Mayi soldiers obviously underestimated the combat power of the whirlwind battalion's cavalry, and far underestimated the ability of the whirlwind battalion to attack the city.

Especially those siege equipment they had never seen before, siege vehicles, nest vehicles, rush vehicles, giant catapults, giant crossbows, guns, etc., dazzled the defenders of Mayi County, Terrified.

Before Wang Junlin led the Whirlwind Battalion to chase the Turkic Shibi Khan and escaped, he ordered Yang Kongchan to use the powerful logistics force of the Far Eastern Army to deliver the parts, and assembled them here in the past two days.

Gunpowder packs, crossbows, guns, arrow rain, explosions, flames, blood, and corpses constitute the main theme of Mayi County for the next two days. Although Liu Wuzhou is a fierce general in field battles, he can only defend the city. To say that you are proficient in defending the city is not good at it. Fortunately, the rolling logs, oil pans, arrows and other things used to defend the city are well prepared.

Liu Wuzhou ran on various city walls, trying his best to organize the defense of the city. After two days, his voice became hoarse, but the situation at the top of the city was getting worse and worse. A piece of the city wall was crumbling. He ordered the people in the city to be forcibly gathered to repair it, but there was nowhere to find the materials for a while. Later, he listened to Huang Lao's advice and demolished the houses in the city to repair the city wall. But this kind of thing is not done by professionals. And the city wall that was built in a hurry can be imagined.

Actually, during the past two days, the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army have never been within fifty steps of the city wall.

Relying on long-range attacks to consume the strength of the defenders at the top of the city, they bombarded the city walls.

Obviously Wang Junlin didn't want his soldiers to be wasted in the siege battle at all.

What makes Liu Wuzhou so angry that he can't wait to vomit blood is that their long-range attacks from the top of the city can't hit the whirlwind battalion outside the city at all, and the various long-range attacks of the whirlwind battalion outside the city continue to cause death and injury to them, but it is impossible for them to retreat from the city wall , Withdrew to the city.

So, on the city of Mayi County, not to mention the scars, many places have been smashed and collapsed, and the blood around the city wall is solidified, and the purple-black patches are shocking.

On the third day, twenty giant trebuchets fired powder packs and continued to bombard the city wall selected two days ago. At noon, the city wall, which was six or seven feet wide, finally collapsed.

"These Mayi rebels really don't know how to defend the city! I thought it would take at least five days to break through the city, but it took less than three days to break the city. The order was sent, and the long-range attack was fully suppressed. Two cavalry The thousand-man team began to charge towards the gap, and the rest followed." Wang Junlin stood on the command platform, retracted the binoculars, and gave the order to attack the city with some emotion.

With the flag waving and the sound of war drums, the soldiers of the Xuanfeng Battalion charged towards the city of Mayi County.

……

……

"My lord, the city wall is broken, and our manpower is nearly ten times that of the opponent's. While the main force is still there, why don't we fight out of the city!" Huang Lao suggested to Liu Wuzhou with his teeth reddened.

On the first day, the cavalry with equal numbers on both sides of the city was almost wiped out, and then they were beaten from a distance for three consecutive days, especially the deterrent and lethal power of the explosion of the gunpowder bag, which had already wiped out the morale and fighting spirit of the Mayi people. .

Liu Wuzhou was terrified by the terrifying weapons and methods of the Far Eastern Army. He thought about Wang Junlin's prestige and illustrious deeds. To fight the Goguryeo people, even the Turkic people who fought against Yanmen County recently, all of them had fewer enemies and more enemies, and there were too many battles where they defeated their opponents with less than ten times the force, so Liu Wuzhou's idea of ​​going out of the city to fight in the field has long been given up.

After a little hesitation, Liu Wuzhou didn't listen to Huang Lao's suggestion, and actually

Ran took the remaining more than 80,000 horses and decisively ordered to withdraw. From Liu Wuzhou's point of view, as long as there are 80,000 people, there is a chance of Dongshan. Now that the Sui Dynasty is completely chaotic, the worst thing is to change the county and continue to be the boss. Wang Junlin likes Mayi County, so he will give it to him.

The east city was quickly lost, and the soldiers of the Far East Army continued to attack the city. At the same time, the gate of the west city was hurriedly opened, and Liu Wuzhou rushed out of the city gate with more than 80,000 troops.

The Whirlwind Battalion had limited troops, so it was impossible to encircle the city on all sides, let alone the west. They just arranged two thousand-man teams to stand guard outside the west city. Seeing that there were more than 80,000 enemy troops leaving the city, the captain who led the team only led the people to keep a distance of 500 steps, hanging from a distance. Typical wolf pack tactics, as long as Mayi County shows its flaws, the captain will dare to lead a thousand cavalry to rush up and bite Mayi's army hard.

Furthermore, if the Whirlwind Battalion did not take the initiative to intercept, Liu Wuzhou would not be stupid enough to launch an attack when the other side did not block all the way, but led the army to bypass the two thousand Whirlwind Battalion and escape from the other side.

The captain watched Liu Wuzhou lead the people away, smiled slightly, and said: "Come on, hurry up and report to the prince, and say that the enemy has already taken the bait."

A team of messengers who had been preparing for a long time quickly rode their horses towards the main force of the Far Eastern Army in the east.

The fishing plan designed by Wang Junlin is not only to use Emperor Yang Guang as a bait to severely injure the Turkic people, plotting Mayi County and Liu Wuzhou is one of his many important follow-up plans, when he did not leave Fanyang County three months ago , He led people to start researching the battle plan. Not only did he clearly study the vicinity of Mayi County, and even the topographical route of Mayi, but also formulated a very detailed chain plan.

The two thousand cavalrymen of the Cyclone Battalion stationed on the west side of the city of Mayi County are really just guarding? Naturally not, their function was to block several other intersections intentionally or unintentionally, and to get out of a certain intersection, forcing Liu Wuzhou to lead the army to escape along the route planned by Wang Junlin, and reach the second road that Wang Junlin designed for them. battlefield.

The trap has been set, just waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Nowadays, the military strategic thinking of the Far Eastern Army is to destroy the enemy to the greatest extent at the lowest cost.
