Chapter 864 Begins to attack Jianping Pass
The more unpredictable Lu Wenlun becomes, the happier Yi Yi feels.
Nothing else. Compared to others who hate the Riddler, Yi Yi pays more attention to practicality.
Lu Wenlun's move was a complete and utter message to Yi Yi,
"I've guarded Jianping Pass. Even God can't take it away. I said so."
Sure enough, after accompanying Yang Shida's envoy back, Yang Shida did not launch an attack for five or six days.
Seeing this, Yi Yi felt uneasy again.
"Wen Lun, something is wrong. Why doesn't Yang Shida attack now?"
Lu Wenlun replied: "Because Yang Shida is very cautious, or he has too few troops and dare not attack."
Although Lu Wenlun was not frowning at this time, his face was still a little more solemn compared to the calmness a few days ago.
Soon there was news from the scouts, "Sir, Yang Shida is sending troops to encircle and suppress the nails we sent out!"
Lu Wenlun seemed to have expected this, and asked, "Have you seen any additional troops?"
"No, most of them are young and strong civilians, and the rest are just the so-called National Defense Army, and the reinforcements are constantly decreasing. The total number now should reach 60."
Lu Wenlun was overjoyed when he heard this, "Hahahaha, the Taiping Dao Kingdom's current foundation has been almost exhausted. It seems that the attack will only last for a day or two!"
Yes, 60 people is not a lot, but if you include the troops stationed in various places, the troops stationed in the so-called Holy Capital, and the people who will be used in the so-called Eastern Expedition Army, these people now are already Taiping Dao The country has all the young people it can muster.
Of course, there must be young people from places too far away in the Taiping Kingdom, but these young people cannot be mobilized, so these people are all the strength that the Taiping Kingdom can use at this stage.
If all these people were lost here, the Taiping Tao Kingdom would be in ruins.
No, it should be said that destruction is imminent.
But compared to the confident Lu Wenlun, Yi Yi was in a panic at this time.
"Wen Lun, the Taiping thieves have so many troops, how should we fight against them?"
Lu Wenlun was full of confidence: "I have gathered all the troops. The [-] troops at Jianping Pass are enough to stop these people."
Yes, the terrain of Jianping Pass determines that the Taiping Dao Kingdom cannot invest more troops at once and can only compete with Jianping Pass.
In this case, if the offensive team loses ten people, the defensive team may not be able to lose one person.
And with so many people, Jianpingguan's logistical supplies are very easy, but the pressure on Taiping Daoguo is too much.
Half of the so-called 60 people now have to consume grain and transport grain at the same time.
In this case, it is simply a good thing!
In such terrain, Lu Wenlun was completely confident that he could block Yang Shida.
It can be said that he only needs to personally preside over a few defenses, and after training the soldiers, he can appoint any general for the rest. As long as he does not take the initiative to attack, let Yang Shida do it slowly. Without special circumstances, it will take three to five years. He can't even break it.
Therefore, Lu Wenlun can't wait for Yang Shida's attack now.
In fact, this kind of terrain is much better than Lu Wenlun thought. After all, Lu Wenlun's layout is not the army of the Taiping Tao Kingdom, but the elite soldiers of the Han army.
It can even be said that if the Han army came to attack the city, it would be difficult to break through it by relying solely on gravity trebuchets and other siege equipment without using gunpowder weapons.
Therefore, the method Liu Wu originally proposed was to directly concentrate the rocket launchers in the Shenji Camp and shoot them all out in one go.
As for the defenders in this kind of terrain, the Han army did not even need thousands of rockets to completely defeat them.
But now, the ancient military duel and the brutal confrontation between cold weapons will be staged here.
"Dong dong dong dong!"
Two days later, as Wen Lun expected, there was no way out. Yang Shida's Western Expedition army had already started to beat the rumble of war drums, and then the soldiers began to line up.
At the same time, what is visible to the naked eye are the huge ladders, shield carts and other siege equipment. At the front of the military formation are a large number of young men carrying sacks. These people are used to fill in the Jianping Pass. of the moat in front.
Jianping Pass is not the kind of pass built between two mountains. It has mountains on one side and a river on the other, and there are also high mountains on the other side of the river.
Therefore, if the enemy wants to enter Chuanzhou through here, it is obviously impossible to cross the river. The only thing that can be done is to break through Jianping Pass.
The construction of Jianping Pass also relied on this terrain, and then introduced the water of the river outside the city wall to form a moat.
Therefore, if you want to break through Jianping Pass, the first step is to fill in the moat. Only such large-scale engineering equipment can rush through.
"attack!"
Following Yang Shida's order, the horn sounded, and the first ones to charge were the shield vehicles, followed by a young man carrying a sandbag on his back.
"Fire arrows!"
When the young men walked into the range of the bow and arrow, they were greeted by an overwhelming barrage of arrows.
Although the shield cart can help the young men block some bows and arrows, the distance between the moat and the city wall is not too far, so the shield cart must be close to the moat.
Correspondingly, the distance behind him was widened, creating a certain gap, exposing Qing Zhuang to Da Gan's bow and arrow.
"Gravel truck!"
In this case, Yang Shida didn't care about the casualties of the young men at all, and let more young men push the vehicles loaded with bags of sand and gravel to rush forward quickly.
These vehicles had been partially modified. Although they could not completely block the arrows, they gave the young men some psychological comfort.
As for why the first batch of young men who rushed up didn't use this kind of car, it was because they were not prepared to let them come back.
The task of these young men is to throw these sandbags into the moat one by one.
For a time, under the Jianping Pass, the Taiping Dao Kingdom's troops were like ants moving, running towards the moat in a steady stream.
In this case, although the damage caused by the archers is not small, but looking at the overall situation, the impact it causes is very small. After all, the city wall is only so wide and there are only so many archers.
"Keep firing arrows, don't stop!"
Lu Wenlun's response to this was to continue shooting arrows.
The young men of Taiping Dao Kingdom also ran back and forth quickly under the supervision of the war team.
