Chapter 65 Flash (continued)

As the sun sets, the Liang army soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield returned with a full load. The seized large amount of baggage and the captured soldiers were dealt with separately, while Li Li was checking the head level.

The head of an ordinary soldier is just a statistical figure. The head of a person worth taking seriously is of course the head of a general or an official.

Some captured Qi army soldiers identified bloody heads, and the head of the Qi army leader Murong Shide was found in the identification results.

Li Li looked at the white-haired head carefully and felt a little sigh: Since ancient times, famous generals are like beauties, and they are not allowed to see white hair on earth.

This is how the general who had fought for decades was defeated and died once his body fell into the hands of the enemy.

Murong Zhide, whose surname was Murong, whose name was Yan, and whose courtesy name was Shide. In this era, he was popular with his characters in the world, so he was called Murong Zhide.

Since the surname is Murong, of course it is related to Murong Yan State. This is a descendant of the royal family of Yan State, just like the famous general Murong Shaozong.

Murong Shide was the long-time general on the battlefield. It is said that as a general of Wei, he led his army to fight with the Liang army more than thirty years ago. He fought for decades and experienced various battles.

Murong Shide was once under the command of Erzhu Rong, a powerful minister of Wei State. Later, Erzhu was defeated. Murong Shide surrendered to Gao Huan, fought against the Western Wei many times, made many military achievements, and was known as the former general.

At the beginning of the year, Emperor Qi ordered Murong Shide to lead his army into Qingzhou to station. If there were changes in Qingzhou in the south and Xuzhou in the north, he would immediately go south.

As a result, he was defeated by Li Li.

A man in his early twenties stood beside him. General Li Lide introduced that this was the cavalry who killed Murong Shide. He walked to the other side and smiled and said, "You have made great contributions and killed the enemy general."

"Yes, but they are all dead..." the young man said softly, speaking Poyang dialect, but his face was dull and his eyes were swollen. It seemed that he had just cried once.

The general quickly explained: "Junhou, their team pursued Murong Shide and confronted the opponent's troops, with heavy casualties."

"Even if Murong Shide was left in the end, the other party turned around and shot arrows while riding a horse and escaping, and several more were killed."

"A team of twenty-eight people chased each other seven, and there were only three people left behind."

Twenty-eight people chased and killed seven people, but twenty-five people were broken into it. The cruelty of the war can be seen.

The Northern Army cavalry was skilled and had small-scale battles. The immature Liang Army cavalry could only decide the outcome with the opponent by relying on the advantage of numbers.

If Li Li had not had the courage to foster artillery, he would not have chosen to go out to Daxian Mountain and fight the Qi army on the plains.

He looked at the young fellow villager and patted the other person on the shoulder hard: "You are good, they are good too."

"Cry, cry, feel better."

After Li Li said this, the young man could no longer help but cover his face with his hands and burst into tears, which made the soldiers around him look around.

People are not plants and trees, so who can be ruthless? The companions who live together day and night, and the companions who laugh and scold them turn into cold corpses in a blink of an eye. How can a normal person not be sad when he experiences this change?

Li Li still pressed the other party's shoulder and said, "They fought on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives for the country. I promise that they should have a lot of pensions."

"They have a share of the contribution you have made, so you can live well, return to your hometown, and tell their relatives, friends, neighbors, how they fought bravely..."

"Tell me carefully, how brave and good at fighting are our Poyang children? None of them are cowards!"

The soldiers participating in the war were all from Poyang, and the soldiers around him were naturally fellow villagers at this moment. After hearing what Li Li said, he felt excited: "Yes, Junhou is right, we Poyang children are not cowards!"

The young man wiped away the tears with the back of his hand, looked at Li Li, and nodded vigorously: "June, I will tell them carefully about their deeds to the villagers!"

Li Li smiled and said, "You killed the general of Qi. This is the long-time general who has fought for decades. He has killed more people than you and me, but so what? He can't defeat our children in Poyang!"

Looking at the excited faces, Li Li continued to encourage: "We will win battles and defeat more enemies. No matter who they are, how powerful they are, we will definitely win!"

Everyone shouted: "We will definitely win!"

After winning a great victory, the soldiers were very morale, and the casualties of their comrades were inevitably sad, but a refreshing victory made people even more excited.

This is also the result that Li Li wanted: to fight, fight continuously, and lead the fellow villagers of Poyang to achieve one victory after another.

After all, so many Poyang children joined the army and followed him to Xuzhou, it was not just to make a living.

If you just have a bite of food and stay in Poyang, after all, Poyang continues to reclaim land on a large scale and farm farming. As long as you are willing to work, you can fill your stomach.

Therefore, at least most of the Poyang soldiers who came to Xuzhou had the intention of making achievements. As the "leader", he had to take his fellow villagers to fight and make achievements.

Not only that, many of the two Huai children who joined the Xuzhou Army also hoped that Li Sanlang, who had made great achievements, would lead everyone to achieve military achievements, so he had to attack and take the initiative to seek war.

With constant victory, the people in the army will give hope for promotion. Only in this way will more and more people gather around him.

But when eating, he has to look at the food and eat, so he can't fight for the sake of war.

After this battle, the Qingzhou area of ​​Qi State would inevitably be shocked. Li Li annihilated a "field army" in Qingzhou area, and he could try to take further actions.

However, the food and grass were not supported, and there were no follow-up troops to go north to reinforce, so the attack in this direction ended here.

As the governor of Xuzhou, Li Li suddenly launched an attack this time, which was actually a "cheap act". Therefore, it was just a military operation of the Xuzhou Military Prefecture, rather than a strategic attack on the Qingzhou area by the Liang Dynasty.

With the strength of the military power of the Yizhou Military Office and his private troops, it is not enough to carry out such a strategic offensive.

Even with artillery support, it won’t work, because Li Li wanted to keep this secret and could not reveal his true combat power.

After all, he is just a military general from a cold man. If the combat effectiveness of the army under his command is too strong, many people will not be able to sleep.

Li Li retracted his thoughts, looked at the heads of Qi generals in front of him, and looked at the large number of Qi army prisoners in Wuyang and Wuyang in the distance, and felt much better again.

After this battle, there will be no army in Qingzhou that can go south and attack Muling Pass, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Daxian Mountain, and it will be stable.

He had to withdraw his troops as soon as possible and return to rescue Peixian and Xiaoxian. This is how "soldiers are more important than speed".

As for the secret of artillery, I could not explain it clearly after seeing the powerful Qi army prisoners, and others might not believe it.

Could it be that: I saw a flash in front of me, and the military formation was corroded and blood flowed into a river?

Who believes this?

Besides, these prisoners will have to mine in the mine until they die. Where will the audience come from?

......

In the morning, the sky was covered with dark clouds and it could rain at any time.

Pei County, the Qi army besieged in the city launched a new round of attacks, and a large number of soldiers pushed the chariots and attacked the city from the south, west and north at the same time.

The reason why there is no east is because the east of Pei County is Sishui. The Qi army only dug trenches to separate Pei County from Sishui and did not launch an attack in this direction.

The siege lasted for half a month. The Qi army mobilized a large amount of manpower and material resources to fill the trenches outside the city, and then launched an attack on Pei County day and night, and wanted to drag down the defenders with wheel battles.

After more than ten days of attack, the defenders' counterattacks became weaker and weaker, so the Qi army launched a larger attack and used all the cars they had built before, and wanted to break the city in one fell swoop today.

The Qi army was attacking like a tide, but the sound of trumpets in the city sounded. After a moment, a large number of stones flew out of the city.

These stones drew arcs in the air and fell to the ground outside the city.

The moving cars were concentrated by these huge stones and then collapsed one after another.

The chariot built with wood could not stop the stones, and the flesh and blood could not withstand it. The casualties of Qi soldiers who were sieging the city instantly increased under the "stone rain" attack launched by the defenders for the first time.

But the horns that urged the attack to promote the attack continued to sound, and the Qi soldiers who had no retreat continued to attack the city, and more and more long ladders were carried to approach the city wall.

The defending archers kept firing arrows, but they could not stop the Qi soldiers with absolute advantage from approaching the city wall.

A large number of long ladders were placed on the top of the city, and Qi army first climbed under the cover of archers and began to climb the city.

The enemy attacked with all their might, and the defender Liang Sen ordered the crossbowman to fight back with all his might.

At the top of the city wall and above the enemy's tower, Liang's crossbowmen used strong bows and hard crossbows to target the enemy soldiers and continued to shoot.

Crossbow soldiers are most powerful when defending the city, and a large number of new recruits who have only practiced shooting with crossbows have city walls as support, and are wearing armor, slings, and iron faces, so they can let go of their hands and feet and act courageously to shoot against the enemy.

The arrows and crossbows were enough, so the defenders who fought back with all their might soon shot the All-Star soldiers and suffered heavy casualties, and the offensive was condensed.

Liang Sen looked at the defeated Qi soldiers outside the city, and then looked at the powerful soldiers on his side at the city, and was very satisfied.

After renovation, the city walls of Pei County were already brick-covered and rammed earth walls, and the brick-built enemy buildings were not afraid of enemy fire.

Therefore, when the arrow stock is extremely abundant, the enemy attacks will only be futile, leaving corpses all over the ground.

Pei County's defense ability is aimed at defending alone for one year. Therefore, even if reinforcements have not come for a long time, Liang Sen and his subordinates have the confidence to stick to Pei County.

The Qi army camp suddenly roared and pulled away. Liang Sen looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was just slightly slanting. It seemed that it was afternoon, but the enemy stopped fighting?

It's impossible, unless, unless our reinforcements come.

Sure enough, when the sun sets in the west and night is about to fall, the sentry observed with a thousand-mile mirror and found that there were fleets approaching the Si River in the southeast, and there were soldiers and horses accompanying the shore.

The army from the south, advancing on both land and water, only one possibility is that reinforcements are coming.

The good news quickly spread throughout the city, and the tide of cheers rang out at the top of the city, and Liang Sen was excited and couldn't help but look forward to it.

According to Li Li's prior agreement, the reinforcements either did not come. If they wanted to come, they would have to solve the problem of Qingzhou in the south and Xuzhou in the north, and closed the "gate" of Muling before turning around to reinforce.

Then, what Li Li said, "a weapon that can shine" must come in handy.

Liang Sen, who was standing at the top of the city, looked at the Qi army camp outside the city and his confidence increased: Cunfeng had settled the east side, and now he came with reinforcements, don’t leave, go to the mine to mine!
