Chapter three hundred and fortieth battle
After the morning meal, Meng Tian went against the norm and did not wait for the afternoon before launching an attack, but instead ordered the Qin army to attack immediately.
"General, will the morning sun shine from the east affect the soldiers' sight?"
After receiving the order from Meng Tian to attack, Xishuang felt a little confused.
To avoid being in a position of unfavorable light, Meng Tian emphasized many times when presiding on military training.
"One time and another time, now Xinyang City is extremely empty. It is not impossible to capture Xinyang in one go."
Meng Tian turned his head and stared at Xishuang. He didn't mind explaining military orders, but Xishuang needed to have the awareness of firmly obeying the orders.
In the past half month, Zhang Tuo and Meng Xue have taken turns to attack the city, and the soldiers under their command have suffered considerable casualties.
Zhong Chi was responsible for guarding the camp and Hu Duo managed the logistics. The remaining new forces were Xishuang's troops, and they had not yet experienced blood and fire.
"Military information is like fire and military orders are like mountains. I don't want the captain to raise similar questions in the future."
"No." Xishuang shrank her neck and left quickly, summoned the troops out of the camp, preparing to attack the city.
Meng Tian rarely gets angry, and he has a killing aura in every move. Over time, Meng Tian’s power has become more concise.
"General, can you send Xishuang to attack the city?"
Watching Xishuang's back as he quickly left, Jing Su frowned.
During normal training, Xishuang's performance is not very outstanding.
"As a descendant of Xiqishu, no matter what, he must give him the opportunity to recognize himself."
Meng Tian entered the compartment of the building, sat on the bamboo couch, facing Xinyang City Gate. Within his vision, he could just cover the battlefield of the siege.
"Xishuang is very smart, but she lacks a down-to-earth spirit. Xinyang City Wall is a threshold for him. After crossing it, he will have hope of becoming a general in the future."
According to the Qin army, each department has a captain. There are several generals above the captain. Among the generals, they are divided into deputy generals, deputy generals, and chief generals. Only when they reach the level of chief generals can they truly enter the core of the court.
"I think Xishuang is afraid of death."
Jing Su smiled, sat down to Meng Tian's right head, and looked at Xishuang who was out of the camp for leisure.
Xishuang did not ride a horse, but sat in a black car, pulling two black horses. On the left was a royal hand and a soldier on the right, holding a large shield wrapped in bronze.
In his early years, the generals under Meng Tian followed Meng Hu, Meng Bao and others who were guarding Shangjun, and were used to riding horses and often rode horses. As the main general, Meng Tian was not used to riding a car, so his subordinates naturally felt embarrassed to equip themselves with vehicles.
After serving as the commander of the attack on Chu, Zhong Chi, Meng Xue and others who were used to riding cars began to practice riding and can now ride horses.
Only Xishuang has always been not very concerned about riding a horse. In private, Xishuang once said that if you fall off a car and pat your butt, you can get up; if you don’t pay attention when riding a horse, you will fall to the ground and get hurt.
"It's not a bad thing to be afraid of death, but when it's time to get a thrust, you still have to get a thrust."
Thinking of Xishuang's refusal to contact Gao Lu, Meng Tian also laughed a little.
When the cavalry ran at high speed, some knights did fall off the horse or even died immediately. Such casualties were inevitable even with the blessing of bronze stirrups.
To a certain extent, the cavalry at this time were equivalent to the fighter pilots in later generations. Many preventive measures were arranged, and the incident of plane destruction and death could not be avoided.
This is a matter of probability.
"If you send someone to tell Xishuang that if you can't capture Xinyang before sunset today, you won't have to be a captain."
After Xishuang left the camp, Meng Tian arranged for Hu Duo to lead his army and followed Xishuang's army to prepare for support and temporarily obey Xishuang's orders.
Xishuang inherited the titles of his ancestors and was a five-year-old doctor, without a sense of crisis of moving upward. The law of military merits stipulates that people with high titles can hold senior positions.
After joining the army, Xishuang served as a captain as soon as she became familiar with military affairs, and she did not rise or fall.
"What? If I don't conquer Xinyang City, I will be the leader?"
After receiving the news from Meng Tian’s personal soldiers, Xi Shuang felt bad.
He had no intention of climbing up the ladder of title, but his family might criticize him when they learned that he had lost his military post as a captain.
Besides, the troops who once served as a lieutenant and commanded more than 10,000 people were suddenly demoted to a leader, with an old face, where can I put them?
Beheading is small, but face is big.
"Oh, forget it, let's fight."
Xishuang raised her right palm, put it in front of her eyebrows, squinted her eyes, and made a lot of Xinyang City, and had an idea in her mind.
He turned around and faced the confidant Junhou next to the black car, and shouted: "Listen, before sunset, before I captured Xinyang City, I will kill you two first!"
The general kills the general, the deputy general kills the lieutenant, the lieutenant kills the military marquis, and the marquis kills the lords of two or five hundred. In the army, higher-level officers can kill the direct officers under their command.
Xishuang naturally understood the principle of pressure transmission. At this time, he transferred the pressure that Meng Tian gave him to the military marquis who was closest to him.
After hearing this, the military marquis under his command froze and turned to take the order to pass on the order to conquer Xinyang City to his subordinates.
"Dongdongdongdong--"
The deafening sound of war drums recalled the Qin army lined up in a small and fast-paced square, running full at the beginning, and then sprinted towards the Xinyang City Wall quickly.
"Come on the wall, the Qin army will directly attack the city."
The new city guard general of the Chu army adopted Youge and quickly ordered people to beat the war drum.
When the Qin army attacked the city, they wanted to use chariots and crossbows and catapults to open the road, and then it was the soldiers' turn to attack the city.
When the Qin army drums sounded, Yang Youge thought that the Qin army would release crossbow arrows and ordered the Chu army to withdraw from the city wall. After waiting for a while, there was no movement, he found that the Qin army did not play according to the routine today.
Yang Youge was famous for Xiang Yan with his archery skills. He lacked the experience of leading troops and was a little awkward when commanding. Fortunately, he looked very calm and soon came to his senses.
Xiang Yan ordered him to defend the city, not to strive to ensure Xinyang was not lost, but to delay the attack of the Qin army and buy time for Xiang Yan to retreat.
The Chu army climbed to the city excitedly, but before they could stand firm, a familiar sound of breaking through the air suddenly came.
The stone bullets thrown from the Qin army formation were densely packed, as if even the sunlight was blocked.
After a round of stone bullets was shot, the Qin army that was sieging the city was just close to the Xinyang city wall. They set up a cloud ladder and took advantage of the chaos of the Chu army and climbed up quickly.
The Qin army had practiced this kind of projectile technique many times. Suddenly, the general came out and caught the Chu army off guard, and the attack effect was excellent.
The Qin and Chu armies fought fiercely around the city head of Xinyang. However, as time went by, the Qin army gradually gained a foothold and was constantly expanding the position at the city head.
Above the tower, Meng Tian lost interest in continuing to watch the battle.
Xishuang finally kicked her for the last kick...
