The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 859 The Warrior of the Country
When the Jurchen cavalry pursued to the foot of Changli city, Shi Jingtang just happened to lead the remnants of the defeated generals and fled into the city in a hurry.

For a time, 20 Jurchen soldiers and horses surrounded Changli City, and the sky was dark, as if the entire sky had been suppressed.It's as if dark clouds are pressing down on the city, and the end is coming.

The 20 army was divided into four divisions, each with [-] troops, and stood under each city gate.Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan, Yuan Gai Suwen, and An Dianbao ordered one each.

The Jurchen's dispatch of troops was originally a surprise attack, and the target was Changli City, so the defenders in the city did not have time to send a message for help.In this situation, not even a bird can fly out of Changli City.If you want to wait for the news to be delivered, you have to wait for the defenders in other cities to develop the situation in Changli and report it to Liu Bei or Guan Yu.

It's just that it's cold today, the soldiers and horses in each city are rarely dispatched, and there are not many connections between them. It will take at least ten days for the news of Changli's siege to spread.

Originally, there were only about [-] defenders in Changli City, but Shi Jingtang took [-] out, only a few thousand cavalry came back, and the defenders were only about [-].

Shi Jingtang also thought that Changli was surrounded by Jurchens, and it was difficult for reinforcements to arrive in a short time, so he couldn't help but feel dizzy.If it wasn't for the support of the surrounding soldiers, I'm afraid he would fall to the ground with one foot.

"General Shi, how did you end up in such a disastrous defeat?" Li Cunmao couldn't help asking when he saw the Jurchen soldiers coming outside the city, and Shi Jingtang brought only a few thousand people back.

"I..." Shi Jingtang's throat felt like a thorn was stuck, and he couldn't say anything.

Although Li Cunmao has seen big scenes in history, but now he is just a young player, and the economic wars he has experienced are not many.At this moment, facing the Jurchen army outside the city, they couldn't help but panic.

"Oh, I told you not to go out, don't go out, now it is impossible to ambush the Jurchen soldiers and horses, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have been lost. What should we do? If Changli is lost, the Lord will definitely not spare us." Li Cunmao was anxious now, He couldn't help complaining about Shi Jingtang.

Shi Jingtang's heart was agitated, and he thought to himself: "The Jurchen army is so powerful, I can't survive breaking Changli. Even if I survived by chance, I made such a big mistake. The Lord's military division has always been strict in military law. I'm afraid I won't survive. "

Thinking of this, Shi Jingtang was also anxious, and couldn't help gushing out a mouthful of blood.Although he was not unconscious, he was irritable and could not listen to Li Cunmao's complaints, so he simply softened his body and pretended to be unconscious.

"General... General..."

The confidant soldiers around turned pale with fright, and hurried over to help.

Seeing that Shi Jingtang had fainted, Li Cunmao couldn't say anything more, it would be mean, he waved his hands helplessly and said: "General Shi is in a hurry, take him to rest quickly, and prescribe some prescriptions for clearing away heat and fire. General Shi If it's all right, let him come over and help me defend the city immediately, I can't bear it alone."

Originally Shi Jingtang wanted to ambush the Jurchen soldiers and horses, but after messing things up, he was afraid of punishment and dared not face it.He had no choice but to pretend to be ill and evade, leaving Li Cunmao to command the soldiers alone, facing 20 Jurchen soldiers.

The commander-in-chief Wanyan Zongwang was located at the south gate. Seeing that the soldiers were scattered in the four cities, he summoned Wanyan Zonghan, Yuan Gai Suwen, and An Dianbao to discuss how to capture Changli.

On the top of the city, Li Cunmao also seized the time to deploy defenses.

"How did you go about what you told me?" Wanyan Zongwang called all the generals into the camp and asked.

Wanyan Zonghan, Yuangai Suwen, An Dianbao and other three generals clapped their hands in unison and said: "Everything has been done according to the general's instructions. Each army is divided into three divisions, one is for guarding, the other is for camping, and the third is for Build siege engines."

Wanyan Zongwang nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Let's raid Changli. The Han army's tactics are said to be fast, not only marching fast, but also attacking the city quickly! The Liaodong army is not well prepared, and it has not moved its hands and feet all winter. We will have a great advantage in attacking the city. However, if time drags on for a long time and the Liaodong army is allowed to move around, this advantage will disappear. Therefore, the attack speed must be fast and the attack must be continuous, so that the Liaodong army The horse loses its fighting spirit!"

An Dianbao said in a deep voice: "General, tell me how to fight!"

Wanyan Zongwang waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Now our army has [-] elite troops outside each gate, and we will divide them into three divisions. One is on guard to prevent the Liaodong Army from making a surprise attack while our army is not firmly established. The second is to set up camps, and the third is to disperse and cut down trees to make siege equipment.

If you want to attack the city in the fastest time, you have to do this. Let the soldiers who set up the camp rest immediately after setting up the camp. They each build their own camps and don’t care about other things. Siege.

After the soldiers who set up camp have rested and the siege equipment is almost built, let the soldiers who have already rested go to attack the city, and the soldiers who are in charge of guarding and building equipment go to rest, so that the two armies take turns attacking the city in turn. The threat to the Liaodong Army was raised to the maximum. "

Wanyan Zongwang deserved to be the number one general in the early stage of Jurchen, and also the son of Wanyan Aguda, with both prestige and ability, and with the assistant of Wanyan Zonghan, a clan general, he quickly formulated a battle plan.

First try to attack Changli in the shortest time, and secondly attack Changli with continuous offensive.

After discussing with the generals, they returned to each city gate to set up.Each soldier was only responsible for arranging a tent for himself to sleep in, so the speed was very fast, and nearly half of the Jurchen soldiers quickly entered the tent to rest.As for safety, there is no need to worry, there are Jurchen cavalry guarding all around.

The remaining soldiers went to cut down trees to make siege equipment.

Early the next morning, after the Jurchen soldiers had rested, the siege equipment was finished.The soldiers got up and took the siege equipment to attack Changli, while the cavalry who were in charge of guarding the city and the cavalry who made the siege equipment turned into the tents that had already been warmed to rest.

They only waited for the soldiers in front to attack the city to be exhausted. After they rested, they took over the task of attacking the city. The two groups of soldiers took turns attacking the city, day and night, without giving the Changli defenders a chance to breathe.

For a while, the Jurchen and the Changli defenders fought fiercely for the city. The drums on both sides resounded through the sky, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the four directions.

There were only 6 defenders in Changli City, and Li Cunmao also made corresponding arrangements.

Fifteen thousand troops were assigned to each city gate, and the 5000 troops were divided into two groups, each with 500 people, to defend the city in turn.

Fortunately, a lot of defense tools, bows and arrows, rolling stones and other items in the city were prepared last year, and now they are just in use, so there is no shortage of these.

At the beginning of the war, the Jurchen soldiers and horses showed their advantages. The Jurchen first fought fiercely, not to mention their powerful combat effectiveness.They galloped all the way, their bodies had already been active, and they were not afraid of such a cold weather.The Changli defenders, however, have been staying in the city, where the environment is warm and comfortable, and when they suddenly fight, facing such a cold environment, they have a lot of discomfort.

The weather is cold and the body is inactive. The biggest problem is archery. Even the bow and arrow are difficult to draw. The most effective weapon for defending the city is the bow and arrow.How can it be possible to have an advantage if the most advantageous place cannot be used?

For a while, the situation of the Changli defenders was precarious and under great pressure.The Jurchen soldiers climbed to the top of the city many times and fought hand-to-hand with the Changli defenders.Originally, the battle loss ratio between the defending side and the attacking side was [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], but in this situation, the battle loss ratio of both sides was once even.

Fortunately, Li Cunmao fought ferociously and led his brave men to fight hard, fighting from the east gate to the west gate and from the west gate to the north gate, constantly relieving the pressure on the city.

With the desperate resistance of the Changli garrison, the soldiers' bodies were also active, and the cold weather outside gradually had little effect on the soldiers, and the situation gradually stabilized.The attack of the Jurchen soldiers was also suppressed on the ladder, the number of times the Jurchen soldiers killed the top of the city was greatly reduced, and the ratio of battle losses between the two sides gradually increased.

This is the situation three days before the Jurchen siege.

Three days later, the situation changed again.

Due to the small number of defenders in Changli, only 7000 troops took turns to defend the city, while the Jurchen soldiers and horses took turns to attack the city. As time went by, the casualties of Changli's defenders gradually increased, and the pressure became greater and greater.

Wanyan Zongwang knew that the advantage was leaning towards his side again, so he ordered in the army: "Let the other generals take the lead in attacking the city. Now that the Changli defenders are fighting less and less, at this time our army must fight more and more bravely, and give the defenders the greatest strength." Only in this way can we capture Changli in the shortest possible time."

Wanyan Zongwang himself was also highly skilled in martial arts. He not only ordered Wanyan Zonghan, Yuan Gai Suwen, An Dianbao and others to take the lead in attacking the city.He himself took the lead and took the lead in charging.

As a result, the pressure on the Changli defenders increased even more. Originally, two groups of soldiers took turns defending the city, but as the casualties increased.There was a constant occurrence of soldiers being transferred from the rest to fill in the vacancies. As a result, many of the Changli defenders were fighting day and night and were very tired.

In the direction of the east gate, Li Cunmao brandished a long knife and hacked to death the last Jurchen soldier on the top of the wall, only then did he have time to catch his breath.Li Cunmao gnawed at the food handed by the soldiers, devoured it hungrily, drank a bag of warm water at the end, and prepared to patrol other cities.

Just as he was about to get up, Li Cunmao felt his world spinning and almost fell to the ground.

The soldiers hurriedly helped Li Cunmao up, and said with a mournful face: "General, you should go to bed soon, you have been running around the city for four days without sleep, and if you continue like this, your iron body will not be able to bear it."

"Help me up, I can fight again!" Li Cunmao shouted supporting his body with a long knife.

Li Cunmao supported his body by himself, but he continued to fight for four days without sleep. His body had already lost any strength, but he couldn't stand up at all.The soldiers helped Li Cunmao to rest under the stairs in the inner city, and wrapped his body in a quilt to keep warm, but after a while Li Cunmao fell asleep.

"General, general! Ximen is in a hurry, and another soldier came to kill him." Li Cunmao just fell asleep when another soldier came to report.

The soldier stared at him and said, "The general has been sleepless for four days, now he finally takes a rest, don't wake him up."

The soldier wondered: "But Simon..."

The soldiers cursed angrily in a low voice: "Brothers, hold on, damn it, Shi Jingtang is the chief general, he himself is incompetent and has damaged his soldiers and horses, so he dare not come out to fight? I heard that he eats and drinks normally these days, Why don't you come out and preside over the overall situation? Brothers follow me to find him!"
