Chapter 275 Reappearance of the God of War
The black clouds were overwhelming the city, and the Qin State left Meng Tian as the general defending the country, while the Tang army was unstoppable and attacked the city and captured the villages. The commander Li Jing was even more determined to make a decision. Meng Tian was inevitably a little nervous when facing such a person.
Li Jing stood in the Tang army camp tent, holding a telescope and looking at the Qin army camp in front of him. There were very few flags, as if there was no one in the camp.
But when Meng Tian appeared in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh at this famous general for all time. His opponent was indeed the famous general of Qin, Meng Tian.
"General, what did you see?" Xue Rengui walked up to ask.
After putting down the telescope, Li Jing shook his head and narrowed his eyes again. This telescope did consume the vitality of his eyes.
"The enemy general is indeed Meng Tian himself, and the information is not wrong, but judging from the movements of the other party's camp, their number should not exceed 10,000."
Cheng Zhijie stood up and said to Li Jing, "No more than 10,000 people, can the male people in the city be considered soldiers?"
He was negligent about this. The entire Qin State had soldiers, and it was impossible for him to have no soldiers or soldiers in the city. It can only be said that the number of people in the city is possible.
"My generals, tell me your opinion." Li Jing turned around and looked at the generals on both sides and asked.
Qin Qiong, who was standing on the left, thought: "I thought that if this battle was in a short period of time, it would probably only be able to capture a few cities. Meng Tian, who was good at managing the army and defending the city, could only concentrate all his troops to attack him."
There is nothing wrong with this statement, but at present, if all the troops are concentrated in this battle, what if Ying Zheng in turn delays their attack speed?
Su Lie, who was standing by, also made a suggestion: "If all troops are concentrated to launch an attack on the city in front of him, the premise is that this place is not a plain area. If a large-scale attack is covered, the biggest casualties will be us. I think, select the vanguards in the army and capture the camp at the fastest speed?"
This method is obviously suitable for the current situation, but who will lead the troops?
Everyone volunteered, but Li Jing shook his head. How could they easily move out? If they attacked with vanguards, they must find brave and brave generals, and they will judge the situation and take the opportunity to attack.
Obviously, Yuchi Gong became Li Jing's selection target, and the vanguard was led by Yuchi Gong himself. Not only that, Qin Qiong also volunteered to fight and joined forces with Yuchi Gong.
Li Jing allowed Qin Qiong to take the battle and ordered the artillery inside the battalion to pull out all the artillery, and first blasted the city one round before launching an attack.
"The cannons explode first, you go and prepare first." Li Jing said to Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong in front of him.
The two took the order and left the camp, and all the troops of the Tang army had entered their combat state. Not only that, Li Jing ordered to hold on to the camp, and no one was allowed to go out to fight.
This action aims to win with one blow. If they cannot win, they will act again by chance.
"Everyone, this battle is different from usual. We are facing an army with strict military regulations. If we cannot accurately grasp the combat size, we may be confused by the other party." Li Jing said to everyone very seriously.
The generals responded in unison: "Abide by the order!"
Meng Tian, who was in the camp, was observing the Tang army formation outside, and saw that they had already set up their formations when they first arrived, and they were indeed well-known.
What's more, the enemy's commander was Li Jing, who was called the War God of the Tang Dynasty. He was naturally not an ordinary general, and Meng Tian couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"General, Li Jing, the commander of the Tang army, sent an envoy to deliver a letter."
After Meng Tian took the letter, there were only a few words on it: Those who fight died, and those who surrender died.
These words are exactly what Meng Tian is thinking. You must know that if a militia is drawn from the city, you can only mobilize less than 5,000 people, and the army is attacking Liu Bang. How can you draw supportive troops?
Now Meng Tian has no choice but to bite the bullet and reply to the other party, saying that as a general, he should serve the country with death.
"Hahaha, Meng Tian is worthy of being a famous general of Qin. Okay, since the other party wants to fight to the death with us, then start the war. There is no need to conduct extra persuasion to surrender." Li Jing put down the letter he sent and said to the generals.
Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong had prepared all their soldiers and weapons, and Li Jing immediately ordered them to go out and began to attack the enemy.
"fire!"
boom--
Suddenly, a rumbling sound of cannons began to be heard in the Tang army camp, and the shells hit the city, and the Qin soldiers guarding the city began to fight back at the Tang army.
Seeing that the opponent launched an attack, Meng Tian ordered all troops in the battalion to gather and block their attack.
"Send the order and all the soldiers outside the city gather to hold on to their attack as much as possible." Meng Tian held Qin Jian and ordered the soldiers around him.
When all the Qin troops left the camp, even if the battle really started, not only that, Li Jing stood outside the camp gate with a telescope and was observing the current situation.
In fact, no matter who thinks this battle is like a victory, but as a famous general who has experienced many battles, you should not take any opponent lightly.
"The gunner stopped the shelling, all the catapults were ready to attack the city." Li Jing ordered again.
Soon, the artillery pulled the cannon back and replaced it with a catapult that was as high as one and a half feet tall.
When the catapult cart was loaded with flints, with a command, the flints hit the inside of the city. The fire suddenly surged into the sky, and the people fled everywhere.
Meng Tian stood in front of the camp, looking at Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong rushing towards him, without any fear at all, but became even more brave.
"prick!"
The Qin army roared, and the long spear hand rushed over the Tang army soldiers, while Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong broke through Meng Tian's gun formation as fast as possible and directly approached their long spear hand.
"Kill it for me!" Yuchi Gong held his eight-legged steel whip and beat him. The Qin army was instantly injured when the steel whip was waving.
Qin Qiong's iron spear did not fall behind at all. At the moment of close contact with the enemy, he caught all the enemy's attacks, and then swept away, and a group of Qin soldiers fell in front of him.
Seeing that the Qin army was getting closer, Meng Tian knew that the current battle would not beat them at all, so Meng Tian ordered everyone to fight and retreat, retreat into the city and fight again.
"Don't let them run away, rush!" Yuchi Gong saw that they were going to retreat into the city, so he didn't give them time to enter the city. At the moment they pulled the suspension bridge, Qin Qiong shot through the rope with an arrow.
