Chapter 274

In the next few days, the imperial army continued to attack Jing'an City, and they would not stop until sunset.

Such a high-intensity battle made Li Jiajun pay a heavy price for it.Whether it is a ballista or a catapult, the deterrent effect it forms is very obvious.Under such strong suppression, the soldiers could not hold their positions at all.Soon, a ladder was put on the city wall, and countless enemy troops swarmed up.

Fortunately, Li Yuan accepted Ye Hongyu's advice a few days ago and adopted his suggestion.Through the win over of money and status, as well as a fairer reward and punishment system, the enthusiasm of the soldiers was greatly mobilized.When killing the enemy, he was much braver than usual.At the same time, after getting used to ballistas and catapults in the past few days, fewer and fewer people were killed or injured, and the fear of them became less and less, which made it possible to keep the enemy under the city wall.

Seeing that the progress of the siege was getting slower and slower, Cao Ziyan's heart was also getting heavier.It has been five days now, and the army is still unable to reach the top of the city, and the morale of the soldiers is weakening day by day.What's more important is the grain and grass. After searching for hundreds of miles in the past few days, there is still nothing to gain.Although people have been sent to Huazhou to collect grain and grass, it will take at least ten days to transport the grain and grass, even to the nearest county.But the problem is that the scouts still can't find the Hengshan cavalry that made him sleepless. What he fears most now is that if the grain and grass are transported to Jishan Pass, they will be attacked by this cavalry and burn the grain and grass , then my 20 army will really return without success.

"Is it really only possible to divide the troops?" Cao Ziyan frowned, hesitating.It's not that he doesn't want to divide the troops, but that the division of troops is extremely vulnerable to surprise attacks by the Hengshan cavalry.Moreover, after the division of troops, it would be even more difficult to attack Jing'an City.

"Attack for another ten days. If Jing'an City cannot be captured after ten days, then we will divide our forces to attack other cities." Cao Ziyan muttered to himself, finally making a decision in his heart.

At this time, in Jing'an City, wounded soldiers were being sent to the wounded soldier battalion for treatment, and now Qin Yuanhao was in charge of Minzhuang who was in charge of the entire wounded soldier battalion.Since he and Li Yuan had a bad relationship, he was assigned to the equipment store from the very beginning, responsible for transporting weapons and supplies to the wall.Later, because he couldn't bear the fact that Li's army's wounded soldiers could not be treated and died, he led someone to use Hengshan's treatment method to heal the wounded soldiers.Unexpectedly, the effect was very good. Under their treatment, many wounded soldiers who were judged to be unable to recover finally survived strongly.Seeing this, Li Yuan was overjoyed and immediately sent Qin Yuanhao to the wounded barracks to take full charge of treating the wounded.

Regarding this, Qin Yuanhao had no complaints and immediately accepted the affairs of the wounded barracks.He took some Minzhuang and Li family doctors to rush among the wounded, trying to save lives.

After these few days of saving lives and healing the wounded, not only the wounded soldiers in the wounded barracks were grateful to him, but the soldiers on the wall also admired him, because maybe I would lie down in the wounded barracks one day.Because the wounded battalion had far more impact than this, many soldiers no longer flinched and coveted their lives when they were fighting.Because they knew that behind them was a wounded barracks doctor who had rejuvenated his hands, and even if he was injured, he might not necessarily die.With confidence, they became more courageous during the battle and firmly stood on the top of the city.

But in the next few days, the situation began to become tense. The imperial army suddenly launched an all-out attack on the city. Hundreds of thousands of people attacked from all directions, hitting the rocks like waves.Flying stones and crossbows flew horizontally, regardless of the soldiers on their own side being within range, they just bombarded so violently that the defenders at the top of the city couldn't even raise their heads.

In a blink of an eye, the ladder was erected, and the enemy soldiers swarmed up at the risk of being hit by their own crossbow arrows and flying stones.Soon, some soldiers jumped onto the top of the wall, screaming and killing the defenders.

At this time, the defenders could no longer care about the flying stones and crossbows above their heads, and their red eyes rushed towards the enemy.The two sides collided, knives and guns flew, the shield was broken, and a lot of blood spattered.After a while, a layer of corpses piled up on the top of the city, and the soldiers stepped on the corpses and continued to fight.In the end, relying on the large number of people and occupying a favorable location, the defenders filled up the gaps occupied by the enemy little by little. Fire oil was poured on the ladder, and the flames flew down along the fire oil in an instant. The ladder turned into a pillar of fire.

Qin Yuanhao looked at the continuous stream of wounded, and his heart became heavier.How is this going?Is the enemy army starting to attack with all its strength?
So he quickly grabbed a young general who sent the wounded, "Little brother, how is the battle going now, why are there so many wounded soldiers sent here at this time?"

The young general didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly replied, "General, in the past few days, the enemy army has gone crazy for some reason and fought very crazy. Just now, the enemy army actually attacked the top of the city. It took a long time to drive them down. No, the wounded sent here are basically injured in this battle."

"Okay, thank you, little brother." Qin Yuanhao bowed his hands gratefully, but sighed slightly in his heart. Sure enough, it seems that the imperial army was already a little anxious, otherwise they would not have attacked so disregarding casualties.Presumably in the next few days, the battle will become more and more fierce. I hope the Li family army can hold it.

Sure enough, in the next few days, the imperial army continued to intensify their offensive, launching attacks day and night.The city was captured several times, and the defenders were slightly inferior to the imperial army in terms of combat power. They had to rely on their superiority in numbers and suffered heavy casualties before driving the enemy down.Despite this, the morale of the Li family army was gradually weakened by the court army, and they were pessimistic about whether they could hold the city.After ten days of offensive and defensive battles, the Li family's army had already suffered more than 3 casualties, but what they got in return was only more than [-] casualties of the imperial army.Such a disproportionate comparison made the entire Li family army terrified. If this continues, even if the entire army dies, they will not be able to stop the enemy from attacking Jing'an City.

However, the more pessimistic you are, the lower your morale is, and the weaker your combat effectiveness will be.In the ensuing battle, the Li family's army was beaten and retreated steadily, and a piece of the city was occupied, but they were still unable to drive them down.

Qin Yuanhao looked solemnly at the wounded soldiers who were brought in, and listened to the intermittent narration of the battle on the city wall. He knew that Jing'an City had reached its most dangerous moment, and he couldn't wait any longer.

"Quickly, tell all the people to gather here in full suit!" Qin Yuanhao tore off the protective clothing on his body, revealing a black armor inside, with a burst of fighting intent on his face, like a fierce tiger, making people tremble with fear .

"Yes, this subordinate is going to assemble the troops!" The soldiers beside him immediately straightened their backs, their eyes lit up, gave a military salute, and ran away.

"General Qin, you, who is this?" A doctor standing beside him was taken aback, looking at the majestic Qin Yuanhao who was completely different, he asked cautiously.

"Old man, I'm going to fight the enemy, and I'll leave this place to you." Qin Yuanhao said solemnly as he handed over the protective clothing in his hand with a kind expression on his face.

After a while, I saw figures coming from all directions, all dressed in blue-black military uniforms, with a piece of black iron armor on their chests, holding various weapons in their hands, and hurriedly gathered at the designated place.

In just half a stick of incense, all the ten thousand Hengshan people gathered here.All blue and black military uniforms, neatly arranged, immediately caused a great commotion in front of the wounded barracks.These wounded soldiers came to watch these friendly soldiers holding their wounded bodies, they were amazed in their hearts, they did not expect that this group of people who they didn't think much of in the past could have such power.Just, what are they going to do?
Qin Yuanhao quickly solved their confusion, "Soldiers, now Jing'an City is in danger and may be breached at any time. Our Hengshan Army must keep this city and buy time for your master's plan. Now, this general orders , the whole army is on the city wall, ready to fight!"

"The Hengshan Army is victorious!" 1 people shouted in unison, and the sound shook the whole city.

"Let's go!" Following an order, the [-] Hengshan Army moved.
