I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 316

In order to resist the cavalry of the Tengjia Army, the nobles in Jizhou did a lot of work. They built a large number of fortresses near Zhuojun to resist the cavalry attack of the Tengjia Army. At the same time, they used the rivers of Jizhou to create a large number of beacon towers and camps. , Stop the Fujiko army from crossing the river!And most of the rivers in Jizhou run east-west, which can be used to stop the cavalry in the north!

Therefore, the entire northern defense system of Jizhou is based on the river here, using the river as the chain, the city and the fort as the lock, and the beacon tower as the monitoring point.Use the river as a line of defense to weaken the power of the cavalry of the Rattan Armored Army!
It can be said that the rivers in Jizhou are too narrow for the elites in Jizhou now, and they wish the Yellow River would appear on the border between Youzhou and Jizhou.

Not long after the Tengjia Army dispatched troops, two armies surrounded Tang County and Gaoyang County!Because these two counties are at the forefront of Jizhou's defense, they not only stationed a large number of soldiers, but the city was transformed into a solid defense system like a star-shaped fort by the Jizhou clan.The defense is extremely powerful!

The battle to attack Tang County started first.

The head coach of the Fujia Army attacking Tang County was Wang Yong, and the first thing he launched was the most powerful offensive weapon of the Fujia Army, the artillery!
经过这半年的努力制造，现在整个藤甲军永远超过500门青铜火炮，其中10斤炮有300门，余下的200门都是威力巨大的20斤炮！而这些火炮有150门在王勇手中！

"Boom, boom, boom!" Although these 10-jin cannons and 20-jin cannons are not enough to destroy the city wall, they are enough to destroy all the fortifications on the city wall.As the cannons of the Tengjia Army not only attacked, the parapets and watchtowers in Tang County were all smashed by shells, and the soldiers on the city walls were even torn apart by shells, which was horrible.

Under the city wall, Wang Yong felt his blood boiling. This is the God of War, and he is indeed invincible. The Rattan Armored Army with artillery will be invincible!

Pan Feng, the commander of Tang County, was shocked by the power of the artillery. He had seen the power of the artillery when he was in Youzhou, but he did not expect that within half a year, the power of the artillery of the Tengjia Army would become stronger again. The artillery roared like thunder when it attacked, and it was almost unstoppable. The soldiers on the city had been frightened, and everyone squatted down one by one, hiding behind the parapet and shivering.

Under such a violent attack from the artillery, Tang County's city defense system was rapidly collapsing, and the infantry of the Tengjia Army carried the ladder to the city head.

The infantry and artillery coordination of the Fujijia Army was not bad. After the artillery temporarily stopped firing, the soldiers of the Fujijia Army began to climb up the top of the city quickly along the ladder.

At this time, Pan Feng shouted: "Counterattack, the archers shoot, and the others throw down the sleepers and boulders, breaking the ladder of the rattan armor army!"

"Hey, hey, hey!" Following Pan Feng's order, bows, arrows, boulders, and sleepers kept hitting the soldiers of the Tengjia Army under the city wall of Tang County!

The howling stones and long arrows kept hitting the ladders and the soldiers of the Rattan Armored Army!These attacks caused the soldiers of the rattan armor to immediately fall into the abyss of death. The soldiers either fell under the dense array of arrows, or fell under the roaring stones and sleepers. The stones and sleepers in the fire were devoured one after another in this way!
Half a day after the siege, Tang County was full of the corpses of the Vine Armor Army soldiers. Seeing that the casualties were too heavy, Wang Yong ordered Ming Jin to withdraw the troops!At the same time, he ordered the artillery to continue bombing the city walls of Tang County. He wanted to completely destroy the morale of the Han army!
After Tang County was attacked by the Tengjia Army, the commissioner immediately ordered Zhu Ling to lead 5000 infantry to support Tang County. At the same time, this was also to test the combat effectiveness of the Tengjia Army!

Zhu Ling's 5000 infantry were equipped with a large number of WISCO vehicles, chariots, giant shields and spears in response to the raid of the cavalry of the Rattan Armored Army. Army cavalry, Zhu Ling's army can immediately transform into a defensive formation!
And Zhu Ling followed the order of the judge, marching 30 miles a day, as long as he reached this distance, he would definitely set up camp, and the camp was also very strong by his practice. First, he used chariots as walls, and then dug deep trenches outside. A large number of horses and antlers were placed inside to guard against the cavalry of the Rattan Armored Army. It can be said that Zhu Ling's army spent more than half of their time building camps every day!The journey from Lunu to Tang County was less than 200 miles away, and Zhu Ling walked for 5 days without seeing the city wall of Tang County!
Tang County has not yet been conquered by Wang Yong. Wang Yong was overjoyed when Zhu Ling's reinforcements arrived. He sent Wan Lang to lead 1 cavalry and 50 10-jin cannons to surround Zhu Ling's army who came to help!

After Zhu Ling noticed that the cavalry of the Rattan Armored Army was coming, he immediately shouted: "Form the Xuanwu Formation!"

Following Zhu Ling's order, 5000 soldiers quickly placed the antlers and horses on the outermost periphery, and the chariots and WISCO vehicles were placed in the second defense system of the army array. Then all the soldiers set up giant shields, with their spears pointing outward. From then on, in a short period of time, Zhu Ling's army became a hedgehog wearing a turtle shell!

But Wan Lang looked at the tortoise shell and said with a sneer, "Set up the cannon and blast the tortoise shell away!"

Following Wan Lang's order, the soldiers of the Tengjia Army pushed 50 artillery pieces to the forefront!

Then Wan Lang looked at the army formation not far away and sneered, "Shoot!"

"Boom, boom, boom!" 50 10-jin shells, with the sound of a sonic boom, quickly smashed at the horses of Zhu Ling's army. Among the antlers and WISCO vehicles, any fortifications hit by the shells were smashed. Messy!

Wan Lang looked at the results of the cannon and nodded in satisfaction, "Continue to attack!"

"Boom, boom, boom!" Under the bombardment of the artillery, Zhu Ling's tortoise shell was smashed into a huge hole, and the soldiers outside the range were also completely destroyed by the artillery bombardment. Even the soldiers who are still alive are dead. Trembling from the power of the artillery!
Seeing that the morale of the army was getting lower and lower, Zhu Ling decided to lead the army to charge, intending to destroy the artillery of the Tengjia Army!
But as soon as Zhu Ling's army rushed out of the tortoise shell of the Xuanwu formation, Wan Lang charged forward with his cavalry!

"Boom boom boom!" Thousands of horses galloped, tens of thousands of cavalry stepped over Zhu Ling's army, [-] people were hacked to death and [-]% were injured, and the rest were all captured by Wan Lang!
Even Zhu Ling was captured alive by the intelligence of the Tengjia Army.

But he was still very unconvinced and said to Wan Lang: "What kind of skill is relying on equipment, if you don't have these artillery, you will definitely not be able to defeat my army!"

In order to resist the cavalry of the Rattan Armored Army, Zhu Ling trained the defensive Xuanwu formation for more than half a year, but the formation was destroyed by the cannons of the Rattan Armored Army without functioning at all. Naturally, he was not convinced!

Hearing this, Wan Lang mocked: "Back when our Yellow Turban Army didn't have any weapons and equipment, why didn't you see your army of big men take off their armor and weapons and fight us with farm tools? How dare you say such a thing now! You have the face to be unconvinced, this is how winners and losers are on the battlefield, no matter how unconvinced you are, you will also be a loser!"

After finishing speaking, Wan Lang didn't care about Zhu Ling, the defeated dog's whine!

Instead, bring these captives to join Wang Yong!
On the other side, Zhu Ling's entire army was wiped out, and soldiers fled back to Lunu County the next day, and then the judge found out that the 5000 reinforcements he had sent appeared were swallowed up by tens of thousands of cavalry from the Tengjia Army without even holding on for a day !

He couldn't believe it!Even if they were defeated, they shouldn't have lost so badly. The entire army of 5000 people was wiped out in the first battle, and only a dozen people escaped!How can the fighting power of the Rattan Armor Army be so strong that this battle can still be fought?
So he asked the soldiers carefully: "Did Zhu Ling be careless, you were raided by the cavalry of the rattan armor army!"

The soldier replied honestly: "No, we discovered the cavalry of the Fuji Armored Army very early on, and deployed a basalt array for defense, but the Fuji Armored Army produced 50 artillery pieces, and these artillery bombarded our army array continuously. Wugang vehicles, chariots are useless against the artillery, our army formation has been breached, the commander wants to lead us to destroy the artillery of the Rattan Army, but we are defeated by the cavalry of the Rattan Army!"

"Cannon! How many cannons have you encountered?" the judge immediately asked.

He knew that the reason why Huangfusong led an army of 30 troops could not withdraw to Jizhou last time was because Lei Gong had such sharp weapons as artillery, so that Huangfusong could not fight or retreat!In the end, the army in his hand was basically wiped out by the Rattan Army!
The soldier thought for a while and said, "There are about 40-50 artillery pieces, and they are so powerful that we can't resist them at all!"

"A single division has 50 artillery pieces. I'm afraid that the Fujika Army has hundreds of artillery pieces forever, but we don't have any. Facing the artillery of the Fujika Army, we can only be passively beaten!"

Jizhou County is only now barely able to produce gunpowder that can kill people, and it is still not enough to make artillery. It can barely produce some grenades for defense. These are all used by the killers among them, but in terms of power, grenades are far away. Far worse than artillery.

All the civil and military officials in Jizhou looked extremely ugly when they heard this. Originally, the Tengjia Army had cavalry, and it was already difficult for them to win in the field. Now that they have sharp artillery that can break the formation, they can't even defend if they want to defend now!If they can't fight in the field, they don't even dare to support Tang County. At the same time, their more than 20 troops are divided among the major cities in Jizhou by the Tengjia Army. If they can't support each other, they will be defeated by the Tengjia Army sooner or later!

Especially this time, the difference in combat effectiveness between the Tengjia Army and Jizhou County made them the most unacceptable. Although Zhu Ling's army could not be regarded as the most elite army in Jizhou County, it could be regarded as an upper-middle elite army. The Tengjia Army can't resist a round of attack. The strength gap between the Jizhou Army and the Tengjia Army is so big, it is very bad for them!The probability of them defending Jizhou has become even lower!

The judge thought for a while and said: "We will continue to send reinforcements. If there is no reinforcements, Tang County will not be able to withstand much time. If we can't fight in the field, we can only be defeated one by one by the Tengjia Army. Even if we have 20 troops in our hands, it is useless!"

"But we can't defeat the Tengjia army, so how can we support Tang County? If we send reinforcements, we will lose more troops. If Lei Gong encircles the reinforcements, our army may be destroyed by the Tengjia army. The army will devour it bit by bit!" Zhang He said worriedly.

The judge thought for a while and said: "Since the frontal battle is not possible, then we will not carry out the frontal battle. We will divide the army into small groups of hundreds of people, bypass the rear of the Fuji armor army, and attack the grain road of the Fuji armor army. It is difficult for the Jia army to attack Tang County with peace of mind!"

Then Gao Lan was appointed as the lieutenant of Pingzei, and asked him to lead 5000 people to detour to Zhuojun County to attack the grain road of the Tengjia Army. County Attack!
After Gao Lan received the order of trial and assignment, he dispersed the 5000 troops in his hands into 50 squads of hundreds of people, and these small troops continued to harass the logistics of the Tengjia Army in Zhuojun and northern Jizhou. They may burn the Tengjia Army Gao Lan even captured Wang Yong's gunpowder and artillery shells.Instead, these equipment became Gao Lan's weapon against the Tengjia army.

These Gao Lan and the others are familiar with the terrain of Jizhou. Wang Yong sent a large army to encircle them, but they are as annoying as flies. For the Jizhou Army with an army of 20, it is tolerable.

Moreover, the local nobles also helped Gao Lan deal with the Tengjia Army, which made it difficult for Wang Yong to find Gao Lan's squad. The unstable food road seriously affected Wang Yong's progress in attacking Tang County!
Xu Wei, who was in Zhuojun County, knew that the Jizhou army used guerrilla warfare against the Tengjia army, and said with a smile: "How dare you use guerrilla warfare against our Tengjia army? You are playing an axe at the gate of the class!"

Xu Wei found Wang Guojun!

Wang Guojun is the first generation of talents independently trained by the Tengjia Army. They all grew up listening to Xu Wei's story in Jizhou. They can be said to be the core successors of the Tengjia Army. Wang Guojun was originally in Luoyang City After Dong Zhuo had a bad relationship with him, Wang Guojun returned to Taiyuan County and became one of Xu Wei's secretaries, helping Xu Wei handle various documents of the Tengjia Army!
"Shuai Qu, what do you want from me?" Wang Guojun came to the mansion and asked.

Xu Wei laughed and said, "The Jizhou army couldn't beat us head-on, and they actually played guerrilla warfare with us, trying to defeat us by cutting off our food roads! I plan to fight back against them and let them know that guerrilla warfare is not easy to fight! "

"And I will entrust this task to you! I will give you a battalion of troops and 1000 cadres, and you will lead these soldiers and cadres throughout the Zhongshan and Hejian countries to fight against the local tyrants, divide the land, and win the hearts of the local people. I don't trust the common people. They were all won by us, and the guerrilla war of trial and appointment can still be fought!"

Xu Wei doesn't believe that in winning the hearts and minds of the people, they can be compared with himself. He can distribute the entire land of Jizhou to the people of Jizhou. How can these elites be willing to part with their own land? You must know that there are almost no civilians in Jizhou now , there are only a few hundred nobles who own land, and the others can only be regarded as serfs of these nobles!
