Under no talent, is a world famous general

Chapter 384: Heading North!

Facing the arrows continuously shot by Liukang soldiers from the canal city, Qin Yi's soldiers pushed the ladder and rushed towards the city wall desperately.

Many soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and the ladder stagnated, but the soldiers who rushed up from behind pushed the ladder desperately, and went on and on. After paying a few casualties, the ladder cart was finally pushed under the city wall.

"Get on the hot oil and roll the log!" There was an angry hiss on the city wall.

Numerous Liukang soldiers kept leaning over, drew their bows and set up arrows, and shot arrows under the city wall.

Some soldiers brought boiling hot oil and poured it down the ladder!

Qin Yi's soldiers were climbing up the ladder when hot oil suddenly poured on them, and they fell all over. They hissed in pain and howled, their hands and feet were weak, and they fell off the ladder.

Afterwards, the soldiers panicked, but the faster they moved, they knew that the only way to avoid being doused in hot oil was by rushing up to the city wall.

Only by rushing up to the city wall can one change one's destiny and become prosperous from now on!
According to the practice of going forward, Qin Yi has already ordered that the first person to climb the city wall will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver and be promoted to a higher rank.

In other words, if you are just a small soldier, the first to climb the city wall will be promoted to a hundred households, if you are a hundred households, you will be promoted to a thousand households, and if you are a thousand households, you will be promoted to a captain.

With heavy rewards, there must be brave men. Even if arrows are flying and hot oil is pouring down, the soldiers will not be afraid of death and climb crazily.

After pouring the hot oil, many soldiers on the city wall carried the logs and threw them down the ladder.

The soldiers of Lin Zhan couldn't dodge, were hit so badly that they vomited blood and fell off the ladder.

Even though there were many casualties, Qin Yi had a large number of soldiers, as many as [-] soldiers were involved in the siege battle, while there were only more than [-] Liukang soldiers guarding the western city wall.

The two-fold difference in troop strength allowed Qin Yi's men to advance extremely quickly. Not long after, a soldier roared and climbed up the city wall.

He was lucky, dodging the arrows, the log and the hot oil.

But he was also unlucky. He was the first to climb up the city wall, alone and helpless, and was suddenly swallowed up by many Liukang soldiers who rushed forward!

Qin Yi saw from a distance that a soldier climbed up the city wall of Qucheng, and before he could stand still, he was cut to pieces by the enemy soldiers. He couldn't help frowning.

"500 taels of silver, plus double the pension, must be sent to his family!" Qin Yi said in a deep voice.

Chen Yu on the side quickly responded.

Immediately afterwards, the second and third soldiers climbed up the city wall one by one, and began the battle for the top of the city.

Perhaps there was too much difference in the strength of the troops, and the top of the city was quickly captured. Many soldiers of Qin Yi began to attack downwards, trying to seize the city gate.

As long as the gates of the city are opened and the troops from outside the city are allowed in, the city will surely change hands!

Time passed, and after fierce fighting, the city gate finally changed hands and slowly opened.

When Qin Yi saw it, he immediately ordered, "The whole army charges!"

The rear army, ready to go, roared and rushed towards Qucheng!

Qin Yi's mind was slightly settled, and he secretly guessed that the large difference in troop strength and the lack of morale of the enemy soldiers should have led to the rapid development of this battle without too many casualties.

Presumably, after a while, the guards in the city will escape from the city gate through the undefended north gate. At that time... Thinking of this, Qin Yi smiled lightly.

The west city wall was breached, the morale of the defenders plummeted, and the east and south city walls fell together. Qin Yi's troops and Mu Haoyang's troops began to wage street battles in the city.

The original [-] troops suffered heavy casualties because of Qin Yi's surprise attack, and only [-] remained. Liukang soldiers had long since lost their fighting spirit. Flee through the north gate.

In just half an hour, the Liukang soldiers fled and surrendered, and the whole city fell into the hands of the Qin and Yi armies.

At the north city gate, many Liu Kang soldiers fled in a hurry, and ran towards the distance along the official road.

They were full of panic, gritted their teeth, and ran desperately, for fear that if they were a step too slow, they would be overtaken by enemy soldiers and die.

In order to outrun their teammates, many Liukang soldiers began to throw away their helmets and armor, and some even threw away their weapons, only wishing they hadn't grown a third leg.

But just as they were crowded and galloping through a forest, they heard the neighing of horses in the forest.

Immediately afterwards, there was a roar, "Yi Ziying, charge!"

Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed out of the woods like a black tide, carrying a strong murderous aura!
The terrified Liukang infantry, facing the elite enemy cavalry, all they can do is to let out a terrifying howl!

……

In Qucheng, in the main hall of the county government, Qin Yi stood with his hands behind his back, and quickly issued an order, "Comfort the people, calculate everyone's casualties and losses; open the prison door, release the county government officials; heal the wounded, and count the casualties..."

Following Qin Yi's orders one after another, Qucheng, which had gone through the chaos of war, began to settle down. Many surviving people wept with joy and rushed to the streets, wanting to see the soldiers who rescued them from the fire and water.

Many Lishu people brought agricultural products such as scallions, green onions, eggs, etc., and wanted to comfort the soldiers who had fought hard, but the soldiers who received Qin Yi's orders dared not accept them.

Some well-informed people learned that it was the famous general Qin Yi who recaptured Qucheng, so they all called their friends and friends, and a large group flocked to the county government office, wanting to thank Qin Yi for his rescue and meet this once-in-a-century hero. Outstanding.

At this time, Qin Yi was giving orders in the county hall, and when he learned that a group of people had gathered outside the county office, shouting to thank him, he couldn't help being surprised, so he walked out of the county hall and went outside the county office.

As soon as he walked to the gate, Qin Yi saw a lot of common people gathered outside the gate, at least one or two hundred.

Seeing Qin Yi, everyone became excited. They didn't expect Qin Yi to come out. They wanted to get closer, but they were worried that they would bump into each other, so they didn't dare to move. They stood there and thanked loudly, "Thank you, Commander Zhen, for your rescue. Grace!"

"The commander-in-chief rescued me, and I am grateful to the people of Qucheng!"

"The commander-in-chief is really heroic!"

As they spoke, everyone wanted to hand Qin Yi something, including salted fish, steamed mutton, roasted venison leg...all of which were extremely precious meat to the common people.

When Qin Yi saw it, he was moved, and quickly cupped his hands, and said sincerely, "Everyone's heart, I have taken it into my heart, and it is my duty to protect Qucheng. You don't need to thank you. Please go back as soon as possible. Although the city is already It is calm, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be enemy soldiers lurking, everyone, don't stay outside."

Seeing that Qin Yi didn't accept it, how could everyone agree, and quickly said, "The commander-in-chief has worked so hard, you have to accept whatever you say about this mutton!"

"My family is poor, and I don't have any precious things. I got this deer leg from hunting in the wild mountains outside the city ten years ago. I have been reluctant to eat it. Please don't dislike it."

Qin Yi couldn't accept it, so he could only push and persuade, and finally persuaded many people to return.

Back in the main hall, many generals looked at Qin Yi with more and more admiration.

It is one thing to be able to win battles. As a marquis and a second-rank high-ranking official, his character is still the same as before, humble and gentle, polite to others, not arrogant, not arrogant. Also rarely seen.

Not long after, Chen Yu walked into the hall and quickly reported, "Marshal Zhen, the casualties have been counted. Our army has more than [-] casualties, and General Mu has more than [-] casualties."

Qin Yi felt a toothache after hearing this.

In his past field battles, he fought more with less, and basically killed tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers with thousands of casualties.

But now, our side has a large number of troops, twice as many as the opponent, but we still paid a high price. Even our headquarters has nearly [-] casualties. It seems that it is really not easy to attack the city!
Chen Yu went on to report, "Jing Shoujun has strict orders to prohibit his subordinates from disturbing and injuring the people. Therefore, the people in the city did not suffer much damage, and many officials survived. They were imprisoned in prison. Release them all."

Qin Yi nodded secretly. He didn't expect Jing Shou to have such qualities besides being cautious, which is really good.

Of course, he also knew that Jing Shou ordered his subordinates not to hurt the people, probably because he was afraid that the people in the city would revolt and affect his dealing with Mu Haoran.

If the battle is unfavorable and you are in a situation of running out of ammunition and food, Jing Shou will definitely not care about the lives of the people in Linzhan.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Yi ordered the two armies to withdraw from the city, camp and defend, and hand over the control of the city to the county magistrate of Qucheng.

Then, he wrote a battle report, sent it back to the court, and asked the Empress about her next move.

Qucheng has been recaptured, and it is up to the Empress to decide what to do next.

Four days later, the decree came, and the Empress sent an order that Liukang invaded Linzhan and started the war.
Therefore, another [-] soldiers and horses will be added to the two armies, led by Qin Yi, and obey his instructions, and no one will violate the order.

After receiving the order, Qin Yi summoned many generals, as well as Mu Haoran's subordinates, to gather in the main account to discuss the war.

Regarding how to act in the future, many generals suggested one after another, some said to join forces and attack with all their strength, and some said there was no need to join forces.

After everyone's proposals were finished, Qin Yi said calmly, "Liu Kang's soldiers and horses are at a loss, and it is difficult to gather heavy troops. Therefore, we don't need to join forces. We should divide our troops into two groups to speed up the attack!"

The 25 army was defeated in Qucheng, and only Jingshou fled back to Liukang with thousands of soldiers and horses.

And when he went deep into Liukang's heart and burned down the Linxi army warehouse, he defeated five or six groups of soldiers one after another, and the number of enemy soldiers was as high as more than [-].

Adding up, Liukang has consumed 35 soldiers and horses, and there are not many soldiers and horses. Even with the power of the whole country, they can only gather another 40 to [-] soldiers and horses. The rest of the soldiers and horses have to guard the city and cannot be mobilized.

And he has more than 12 soldiers and horses under his command, and Mu Haoyang has more than 13 soldiers and horses under his command, plus the [-] soldiers and horses sent by the Empress. There is no need to join forces.

What should be done now is to capture Liukang as soon as possible, and if there is spare energy later, then move westward, take advantage of the civil strife in Dali, seize several cities, and revenge!

Mu Haoyang and the others all agreed with Qin Yi's decision, and responded one after another, "The last general will obey orders!"

When the generals left, Qin Yi turned his head and looked at the map with piercing eyes, looking at the Kangdu mark on the map.

Next, let's see if our iron cavalry can step into the capital of this dynasty!
