Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 650
[Chapter 650]
“Yes, General.”
After receiving the order, the soldiers of Qi State turned around and left.
In order to prevent the soldiers of King Yan from crossing the river, they built three docks on the south bank.
The three docks are distributed in a triangle.
The Wubao where he is located is the most forward. If there is any danger, the other two Wubao can provide timely help.
The three and five castles together have a total of 100,000 people, firmly controlling this area.
Less than twenty miles south of Wubao is Dongping City, the prefecture’s capital in East Qi State.
Once this place falls, Dongping City will be in danger.
…
“General, be careful where you step.”
North bank ferry.
While the first group of soldiers surrounded Wubao, Chang Wei followed the second group of soldiers onto the troop carrier.
Arriving at the south bank, when disembarking from the boat, Chang Wei’s foot slipped and was grabbed by the guards in time.
The first batch of 15,000 soldiers successfully crossed the river.
He was in a good mood, and joked: “I have forgotten how to walk the road I was happy with.”
Everyone laughed kindly, and Qin Shan said: “No, I can’t wait to step into the Wubao in front of me, I just feel like this The road is too slow.”
Guan Tong laughed a few times, and then complained: “General, you are too partial to Lu Chang, the last time you attacked Pingyuan City, you let him take advantage of it, and this time you let him take advantage of it. He took the lead, why did he suddenly become the son of his own mother, and we all became the
sons of his stepmother.” “What mother, stepmother’s, there is no one to tell the truth, I will have to pick your skin when I go back, Fight as you would have arranged on the battlefield, and cut down on nonsense!” In
these two battles, he favored Lu Chang, in order to let Lu Chang adapt to commanding the firearms army as soon as possible.
After all, this kid used to wear heavy infantry armor and charged into battle.
I’m afraid that he is used to using brute force.
After being reprimanded by Chang Wei, Guan Tong immediately put on a hippie smile, “The general scolded you, and you are right. Look at the general’s broken mouth, he just didn’t know the door.”
Chang Wei didn’t bother to pay attention to him. There are three docks, these three docks are interdependent, if one dock is in trouble, the other two will support.
“Lead the soldiers under your command and lie in ambush between the other two forts and the first fort. If they dare to leave the city, you will beat them to death.”
“Yes, general.” Qin Shan and Guan Tong replied yes , each left.
He continued to stay at the ferry and directed the soldiers to cross the river.
Without the threat of the fort, troop carriers kept traveling between the two sides of the strait.
A large number of Yanzhou soldiers continued to board the south bank and gathered under the command of Lu Chang and the other three.
At the same time, Gong Ying commanded 12 warships to patrol the nearby river to prevent surprise attacks by Qi’s navy.
In one morning, all the 120,000 Yanzhou soldiers stationed in Pingyuan City boarded the south bank of the Jin River.
At this time, Lu Chang had already completed the siege of the first Wubao, and was waiting for Chang Wei’s order to attack.
Qin Shan and Guan Tong guarded the road from the second Wubao and the third Wubao to the first Wubao according to Chang Wei’s order.
Once soldiers from the state of Qi came out of the city gate, they would show up and fight.
The Qi soldiers were forced to withdraw to Wubao.
After all the soldiers and horses, including Zhongli’s cavalry, had crossed the river, Chang Wei joined Lu Chang’s army.
At this time, he asked: “How is the tunnel digging going?”
He crossed the army safely at the ferry, but he was not delaying the opportunity of the war.
Instead, Lu Chang was asked to adopt a new siege method
to minimize the sacrifice of soldiers during the siege.
“Back to the general, the digging is almost done. Now there are still about 50 meters away from the city wall and another 10 meters will be enough.”
Chang Wei nodded.
All the soldiers under Lu Chang’s command formed a loose formation of skirmishers and distributed them on the battlefield, looking for obstacles to prevent them from being attacked by the artillery from Wubao.
Meanwhile, thousands of soldiers are now digging tunnels with shovels.
He looked forward, but he couldn’t see the soldiers’ bodies. He could only see slices of soil flying out of the tunnel and falling on both sides of the tunnel. The soldiers had already dug very deep.
Seeing this, Chang Wei showed a satisfied smile.
At that time, when he ordered the three of them to form a grenadier team, this method of attacking the city appeared in his mind.
Under the protection of a large number of skirmishers at the back, the soldiers were ordered to go out and dig a tunnel at a distance of 100 meters from the city wall until they were 40 meters away from the city wall.
This allowed the grenadier team to enter the tunnel and throw grenades on the walls from a distance of forty meters.
The reason why it is not fifty meters is because throwing a grenade from the bottom up must be laborious, and it is too far away, and I am afraid that it will not be able to throw it up.
“Boom boom boom…” When the two were talking, the artillery on the wall of Wubao roared.
Shells flew towards the soldiers who were digging tunnels.
But, it’s doomed to be futile.
Their shells could not harm the soldiers in the tunnel at all.
After all, when the gunfire sounded, the soldiers in the tunnel would squat down to avoid the artillery attack.
Sure enough, the soldiers digging the tunnel only paused for a while, and then some soil was thrown up from the tunnel.
“What the hell are they doing?” On the wall of Wubao, the generals of the Qi State were fidgeting.
The way for the other two Wubao to come to ask for help was cut off by the soldiers of King Yan.
Now, he can only fight alone.
Now, he is very sensitive to any movement of Yanzhou soldiers.
