Chapter 772
The next day, the Feng Army began a large-scale attack on Guankou City. This was also the final battle between the Feng Army and the remnants of the An Army in Andi. Read the full text.
During the attack, the Feng army took no chances. They carried out all the large weapons in the army and set them up around Guankou City to carry out continuous long-range attacks. As the battle line was fully opened, the soldiers of the Feng Army began to form a neat square formation and advance forward.
When the Feng army advanced a hundred steps to Guankou City, Guankou City's counterattack followed. Stone bullets from trebuchets flew out of the city one after another, and arrays of arrows were shot down from the top of the city. These all caused great damage to the Feng army.
The soldiers of the Feng Army pushed under the city wall under the rain of arrows and stone bullets. People either set up ladders or pushed the towers to forcefully charge the head of Guankou City.
Of course, a small city has its advantages, especially when the enemy is outnumbered. At this time, the attacking party cannot fully deploy, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers cannot be fully utilized, and the defense line of the defenders cannot be fully utilized. As for being stretched too long, obvious weaknesses appear.
In this battle, the two sides fought extremely fiercely. The attacking Feng army was as fierce as ever, while the An army defending the city showed tenacious fighting spirit. They defended the city and would rather die than retreat even half a step.
During the battle, it can also be seen that the An army has already made complete preparations for the battle. The rolling logs, broken stones, kerosene and other objects necessary for the city seem to be inexhaustible. The army's strong attacks were pushed back again and again.
After this whole day of fierce fighting, the Feng Army organized a total of five fierce attacks across the entire front, but they were all repelled by the An Army. When it got dark, the Feng Army still made no progress.
The war was not going well, and it was getting late. Both Xiao Muqing and Ziying believed that their sides should not fight anymore, so they both asked Tang Yin for orders to withdraw their troops for the time being and wait to fight again tomorrow.
Tang Yin did not insist, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat with gold. Although the first day's battle was unsuccessful, the morale of the Feng Army was not affected at all, and the Feng Army generals headed by Tang Yin were also very optimistic.
The defenders' unrestrained use of rolling logs, rocks, kerosene and other city defense weapons will not last long. In a small city, no matter how fully prepared it is for war, the hoarding of these resources is still limited. On the first day of the battle, So much of it has been used, what else will they use next?
Xiao Muqing even dared to assert that according to today's consumption, the rolling logs, broken stones and other materials stored in Guankou City would only be enough for three more days at best. Of course, his inference was not a random guess, but based on experience. &&
Early the next morning, the Feng Army's attack was launched again. It was still attacking from all sides, and it was still a full-scale attack. In the same way, the defenders still released arrow arrays, threw rolling logs and rocks, regardless of losses, and attacked the Feng Army again and again. of repulse.
This day's siege was almost a replica of the first day. The Feng army made no progress, but it also consumed a large amount of the city defense reserves in the pass city.
In the Battle of Guankou City, the Feng Army's strong attack lasted for five days. During these five days, the Feng Army attacked the city every day, and the offensive became more fierce every day. However, the defenders in the city were still tenacious, and the intensity of the counterattack was getting stronger and stronger.
The most incredible thing is that the number of rolling logs and stones in the city is beyond people's imagination. It has been five days of fighting, but the city's defense resources are still sufficient. The rolling logs, stones and kerosene seem to be endless. were thrown outside the city by the defenders.
After five days of fierce fighting, the Feng Army suffered heavy casualties. Three of the main attacking corps had been defeated. Of course Tang Yin was extremely dissatisfied with the situation. After the siege on the fifth day, he summoned his generals overnight to discuss countermeasures.
After everyone arrived, Tang Yin spoke first and asked: "It's just a small city. Four legions of our army have been attacking for five days and they didn't even reach the top of the city. Everyone, shouldn't you all talk about this?" How was the battle fought?"
All the generals looked at each other, then bowed their heads and said nothing. At the beginning, they had guessed that this battle would be difficult to fight, but they did not expect it to be so difficult.
First, the elite Anjun troops guarding the city have extremely high morale. An Jun without fighting spirit is not worth mentioning at all, but if An Jun has fighting spirit, then based on An Jun's equipment, they will be an iron wall.
Secondly, a large number of rangers were mixed into the An army. These people played a decisive role in the An army and increased the overall combat power of the An army by more than one or two levels.
Third, and most importantly, Anjun’s reserves of urban defense resources are unexpected.
How could such an insignificant town store so many logs, rocks, and kerosene? Even experienced generals like Xiao Muqing and Ziying who had been on the battlefield for many years found it incomprehensible and couldn't figure it out.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Tang Yin slammed the table and shouted: "What's wrong? Are you all mute? What did you say at the beginning? The rolling logs and stones in Guankou City are enough for three days at best. , but now it’s the fifth day of the fight, and An Jun’s rolling logs and stone hammers are still being used endlessly!”
Xiao Muqing's face turned red. He raised his head and whispered: "Your Majesty, this city is strange and unconventional. Our army... should rest and recuperate temporarily, and then make corresponding arrangements after the situation in the city is ascertained..."
Before he could finish, Tang Yin clenched his fist and asked, "How long do we have to wait? Who will we send to find out the situation in the city? My army of hundreds of thousands can't get in, so who can get in?"
Xiao Muqing was silent. Yes, judging from the current situation, it is not easy to get into the city and find out the enemy's situation! Thinking about it, he suddenly had an idea and asked, "Are there any Anjun bases near Guankou City?"
Le Tian and Ai Jia looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "There are no remnants of the Anjun within a hundred miles, or even in the entire Kawaguchi County. The Anjun only has one base in Guankou City."
Xiao Muqing murmured, "In this case, no one will secretly transport rolling logs and pounding stones into the city..."
Le Tian rolled his eyes and said, "It can't be said that there is no enemy situation within a hundred miles here. Ten miles south of Guankou City, there are still many remnants of the Anjun. Even in the territory of Sichuan, Sichuan has assembled more than 200,000 troops at the border. However, the Sichuan Army has never crossed the border between the two countries, and it is even more impossible to secretly transport rolling logs, pounding stones and food to the pass city. "
Tang Yin waved his hand and said: "It is normal for the Sichuan Army to gather troops at the border. They are afraid that after our army conquers Anguo, they will continue to move south and invade the territory of Sichuan. "
"Yes! The brothers who went to investigate also reported that the Sichuan Army at the border has been on guard and has not taken the initiative to attack." Le Tian replied seriously.
"Don't digress. We are talking about Guankou City now, not the Sichuan Army in the territory of Sichuan!"
Tang Yin took a deep breath, stood up, and paced back and forth in the central army tent, muttering as he walked: "It's not that there is no way to figure out the situation in the city. Tomorrow, I have to go to the battle in person..."
Everyone present was shocked and asked: "The king wants to attack the city in person?"
"What else can we do?" Tang Yin said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, I will fight with the Pingyuan Army. Yuan Rang, Jiang Fan, Qi Heng, you three will help me and tear open the defense of Guankou!"
"I obey your order!" Guan Yuan Rang, Jiang Fan, and Qi Heng all stepped in to accept the order.
Guan Yuan Rang came to Kawaguchi County with the Pingyuan Army. In the battle against An, Guan Yuan Rang had never fought a hard battle with the Pingyuan Army. Who knew that the Anguo court had collapsed, and he encountered a hard bone in Kawaguchi County.
On the sixth day of the Battle of Guankou, the Feng Army once again went out in full force to launch a full-scale siege on Guankou City.
However, this time, because of Tang Yin's personal participation in the battle, the Feng Army's offensive momentum was even stronger, especially the Pingyuan Army where Tang Yin was. When advancing forward, the soldiers below ran forward like crazy.
Just a hundred steps into Guankou City, the catapults and arrow arrays in the city flew over. Looking at the stone bullets whizzing in the air, Tang Yin dodged and sighed secretly. Who would have thought that the stone bullets stored by the four legions of his side were all used up, and there were still stone bullets available in Guankou City. Could it be that the city defense resources of the An Army were conjured out of thin air? This time, I must find out no matter what.
When entering Guankou City fifty steps, the oncoming arrows have become more and more dense. Even Tang Yin could not protect his warhorse at this time, so he could only jump off the horse and move forward on foot.
Tang Yin rushed to the front. With his skills, he rushed to the bottom of the city wall even after being hit by dozens of arrows. The situation of the other Fengjun soldiers can be imagined.
When he got close to the city wall, Tang Yin immediately felt the existence of spiritual pressure.
The spiritual pressure radiated from the top of the city wall, forming an invisible resistance in the air. It not only prevented the dark spiritualists in the Fengjun, but also greatly affected the speed of the Fengjun soldiers attacking the city.
This is the advantage of having many spiritualists. They don’t care about the spiritual energy consumed when releasing spiritual pressure.
Without participating in the battle personally, it is impossible to understand the difficulty of attacking Guankou City. Now Tang Yin can finally understand why his army of hundreds of thousands of people has been unable to capture such a small city.
He took a long breath, raised the spirit stalk in his hand, and then gathered enough strength to jump up. He jumped more than two meters high. When he ran out of strength, he grabbed the city wall with both hands. With a click, the palms covered with spirit armor were like two extremely sharp hooks, deeply embedded in the bricks of the city wall.
His body had just hung on the city wall, and before he had time to climb up, he had attracted the attention of a large number of Anjun on the top of the city. He heard a loud shouting from the head, and then arrows were shot down continuously.
Tang Yin gritted his teeth, and his body stuck to the city wall, like a gecko, moving horizontally to dodge the arrows shot from the front.
His movements were fast enough, but he was still affected by the arrows. His arms were hit by two arrows in a row, and his head was also hit by an arrow. The spirit armor was hit by the close-range strong shots and clanged, and a large group of sparks burst out.
