Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 356: Attacking a city requires human lives.

When Chen Mo and the others entered the city from the rear gate, they fought all the way towards the front gate without anyone guarding them. There were tens of thousands of defenders in the city, but they could not escape from the city.

Even if there are brave guards guarding the surrendered soldiers outside the city to intercept them, it is impossible to stop them all, and some fish will definitely slip through the net.

These people who escaped were all the lowest-level soldiers in the Huai Army, not even warriors, so they can only describe the situation at that time.

As for whether Chen Mo is in the supernatural realm, they don't know.

The situation was so noisy at that time that they couldn't hear Xiao Yan's words.

Therefore, just through these, Liang Xuan never dared to believe that Chen Mo was in the supernatural realm.

At noon that day, news about the fall of Huainan and the surrender of Xiao Yan and Li Hanjun reached Wuguan, causing panic among the soldiers and civilians in the city.

For most people, regardless of whether you are a direct descendant or not, they only know that Xiao Yan is a member of the Xiao family.

The Xiao family was quite influential throughout the Song Dynasty.

On the afternoon of July 5th, Chen Jun stopped and camped ten miles away from Wuguan.

Liang Xuan was a little stunned.

...

The defenders of Wuguan learned that Chen Jun was camping outside, but the enemy was outnumbered. In addition, Chen Mo had Ziyang hanging behind him, which seemed to be related to the supernatural realm. Although Liang Xuan did not believe it, he was cautious and decided to play it safe. Hold the city and wait to see what the enemy will do next.

At this moment, the large tent was lifted up, and a tall and slender figure walked out. Chen Mo was wearing a golden-red battle armor with a Tang sword at his waist.

Otherwise, they can use strategies such as siege of the city, bribery of the generals in the city, alienation schemes, and night attacks to capture the city with minimal losses.

He is also a veteran.

Based on his military experience, no matter which commander he is, he will never attack a strong city unless his troops are ten times better than the opponent's.

Therefore, Xiao Yan's surrender will inevitably cause some commotion.

Liang Xuan ordered the entire city to be sealed off and under martial law, and the entire army prepared for war.

Wuguan is Huaizhou's last line of defense, and it is impossible for Liang Xuan to abandon Wuguan.

But Chen Mo obviously doesn't have the strength.

This kind of direct attack on the city made him very stunned.

Looking through the camp gate, there is a huge green curtain military tent among the layers of military tents and patches of gunfire. There are many soldiers standing outside the tent without slackening, and the banner of Chen's army is raised in front of the tent. Here is Chen's military tent. Mo's Chinese army tent.

"Master Hou."

The moment he walked out of the tent, a series of compliments sounded outside the tent. Cui Shuang, Lu Tong and others stood outside the tent: "Master Hou."

Outside Wuguan, the Chen Army's camp stretched for several miles. High wooden walls had been built around it, and horses were set up. Teams of archers stood on the high walls in preparation.

"Master Hou."

Chen Mo was in a hurry. Since he decided to attack Wuguan, he would not hesitate after making preparations. After a night's rest, he would attack Wuguan tomorrow.

As a result, Chen Jun beat the war drums and trumpets early the next morning and launched an siege.

So he immediately ordered to strictly guard the front and rear gates of Wuguan to prevent anyone from entering or exiting. In addition, he sent personal soldiers to watch the nobles in the city to prevent these nobles from colluding with Chen Mo and making some small moves in the city.

Sun Meng led a white horse to the front.

Chen Mo got on his horse, pulled out the Tang Sword from his waist, and shouted in a deep voice: "Wuguan is right in front of us. If we take Wuguan, Huaizhou will be ours. There are only 10,000 men and horses in Guanzhong, and they are already in our pocket. The battle can be broken.”

Then Tang Dao waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Send troops!"

"Siege!"

"promise."

The generals of the Chen Army and the generals of the Wu Army in the tent came out with their respective troops, and the Chen Army camp was suddenly filled with people.

Then the camp gate opened wide, and the majestic banner followed Chen Mo's horse and drove out from the camp gate, followed by earth-shattering cheers.

Just like what he said, Chen Mo wanted to take Wuguan in one battle. It can be said that he mobilized all his troops. The army of more than 40,000 plus the surrendered soldiers totaled more than 60,000 people. The army was vast and boundless.

The sound of trumpets and drums kept coming and going.

Thousands of soldiers poured out from the camp gates everywhere, forming a long stream. Under the command of generals at all levels, they walked out of the camp gates in an orderly manner. But the soldiers walking at the front were not wearing armor or holding weapons, but were carrying ladders.

Yes, these people are descendants.

In order to prevent them from defecting in battle, Chen Mo did not issue soldiers and armor to them.

In order to prevent them from becoming too large, Chen Mo planned to send two to three thousand soldiers to lead the battle at a time.

This is Chen Mo's method.

Siege warfare is all about taking human lives.

Chen Mo must be reluctant to part with his own people.

We can only let these soldiers be used as cannon fodder.

Of course, each of this group of descending soldiers has an armored guard who leads them forward.

He said over and over again: "Our task is to put the ladder up to the city wall of Wuguan, and we must be smart."

The front line responsible for attacking the city was led by Zhao Liang.

Next to them were Xiao Yan and Li Hanjun.

But these two people were sitting on the chariot, as if they were asleep.

That's right, he actually fell asleep.

After Chen Mo knocked them unconscious, he had them carried out and showed themselves in front of Jiang Zu as a mascot.

The excuse is that they were drunk last night and are still drunk.

As for whether he believed it or not, Chen Mo didn't care.

It's not that Chen Mo doesn't treat prisoners preferentially. In the current situation, this is the treatment for reduced soldiers.

Chen Mo was originally going to personally command the Chinese army, but now he is next to Zhao Liang. He is responsible for observing Liang Xuan and seeing how much other people's third-level power is.
Then he knew what to do next.

"Army attack."

As the front formation had pushed to a certain distance outside Wuguan City, a long trumpet sound sounded from the rear.

"Woo."

"Dong dong."

Immediately afterwards, the thick sound of war drums also began to beat.

Chen Mo personally beat the war drum to encourage the soldiers in the vanguard of the siege.

"Come on, follow me and charge." The guards who were trapped in the formation shouted at the same time, leading more than 2,000 surrendered soldiers and rushing towards Wuguan City.

Upstairs at the city gate of Wuguan, the Huai army was also ready.

Liang Xuan climbed to the top of the city and came to the city gate tower to personally supervise the battle. Looking at the enemy troops rushing over, he raised his big hand and waited for the enemy troops to enter the attack range. When he was about to wave and give an order, some people appeared on the city wall. Rebellion.

"That looks like a tiger."

"It's our people, it's our people who are attacking the city."

"."

"General Wei, Chen Jun will use our people to fight in the front line again. What should we do now?" the deputy general said next to Liang Xuan.

"It seems that Xiao Yan's surrender is true." Another lieutenant said.

"General Wei, they are almost in front of us. It's too late if we don't let go." A general reminded Liang Xuan.

Liang Xuan frowned, then with a sharp look in his eyes, he said: "Let go."

"put."

"put."

The orders were passed down layer by layer, and thousands of arrows were fired.
