Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 259
Jing Yi had never seen how Xiao Yilin commanded the battle, so she just watched from the side and didn't say much.

A row of catapults are ready, and the soldiers who are attacking the city with ladders are also ready.

Following Xiao Yilin's order, the soldiers controlled the trebuchet and launched an attack on Linzhao City.Huge stones flew into the air and flew towards the city wall of Linzhao City.In a blink of an eye, big stones fell on the city wall of Linzhao City and some soldiers on the city wall.

At the same time, some soldiers from the Jin State ran towards the city wall of Linzhao City with ladders, and when they reached the bottom of the city wall, they put the ladders on the wall, and then began to climb up the ladders quickly.

Although the defenders on the walls of Linzhao City were hit by boulders from time to time, there were still many soldiers shooting arrows at the Jin soldiers on the ladder.

The so-called cloud ladder is a long ladder, which is too simple in Jing Yi's view, and has no protective measures for the soldiers who are besieging the city.Many soldiers were hit by arrows and fell off the ladder.

Some of the soldiers who fell off the ladder were injured, but most of them lost their lives.

Jing Yi watched with her own eyes the vivid lives disappearing before her eyes.This is obviously a sea of ​​people tactic, using a large number of people to attack the city.But how many people will be killed or injured to break through the city?

Only then did Jing Yi truly see the cruelty of ancient wars.I also understand the phrase "one will succeed and ten thousand bones will dry up".

Under the double pressure of the Jin army's catapults and soldiers attacking the city with ladders, the defenders of Linzhao City did not last long. After half an hour after the Jin army attacked the city, a line of defense was finally broken through, and the Jin State The soldiers of the army went up to the wall.

If there is one, there are two. More and more soldiers of the Jin army climbed up the city wall,
The Jin soldiers on the city wall began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the defenders of Linzhao City on the city wall.This also caused the defenders of Linzhao City to have no time to take care of the ladder and the Jin soldiers who came up from the ladder.

After another fight, someone finally opened the city gate, and Xiao Yilin took the lead and entered the city first.

At this time, the people in Linzhao City had almost run away, and the city was almost empty except for the defenders.

Therefore, the Jin army does not have to worry about the people in Linzhao City organizing resistance.

Under Xiao Yilin's leadership, the army of Jin invaded Linzhaocheng, and the general who defended Linzhaocheng was killed. The little bosses below had no backbone, and several of them fled away with their people abandoning the city.If you don't run, you can only be killed.No one is stupid.

The so-called speed of soldiers is precious, Xiao Yilin did not stop to rest after taking Linzhao City, but left his troops to clean up the battlefield, treat wounded soldiers, restrain dead soldiers, clear out the remaining defenders in the city, and take over the defense of the city.He led the army out of Linzhao and continued to pursue the fleeing Beiyan army.

That's right, the Beiyan army brought by Mo Kun did not fight Xiao Yilin and the others, but fled when Xiao Yilin and the others attacked the city.

How could Xiao Yilin let them go, taking advantage of the high morale of the soldiers to continue chasing, trying to destroy more Beiyan troops and take down more Beiyan cities.

They have been chasing behind Beiyan's army to Pingyang City, Beiyan's second city.

The defenders in Pingyang already knew the news that Linzhao City had fallen. Although they did not abandon the city and escape, they were all afraid that Pingyang Chengcheng would become the next Linzhao City.It's almost a sure thing.

It can be said that Xiao Yilin's capture of Linzhao put a lot of psychological pressure on these soldiers of Beiyan.

Xiao Yilin led the army of the Jin State to the city of Pingyang, and the hundreds of thousands of troops were so overwhelming that they could hardly see the end.Before the Jin army attacked the city, Sun Sheng, the general of the Pingyang garrison on the top of the city, was scared enough.

Sun Sheng already knew that the withdrawn Beiyan army did not help the Linzhao defenders defend the city at all, but fled first when they saw that the momentum was wrong.They in Pingyang don't expect these people who have escaped to help them defend the city.It would be nice not to mess with them.

Before Sun Sheng could finish thinking, some soldiers came to report that the soldiers who had escaped had left the city.

Sun Sheng scolded a group of idiots in his heart, and then thought about his situation and future.Is he going to resist to the end and finally die for the country?
There are many people behind him.Although some people in Pingyang City escaped, there were still many people who were lucky enough not to part with their family property and not escape.If he was defeated and Pingyang fell, what he was most worried about was the safety of the people in the city.

I hope that the Jin army will be more restrained and not harm the people in the city.

The Jin army outside Pingyang City has already set up a posture to attack the city.

Jing Yi turned her head to look at the ladders that the soldiers were preparing, pulled the reins and hit the horses, approached Xiao Yilin and said, "Brother Xiao, are you still using trebuchets and ladders to attack the city this time?"

Xiao Yilin turned to look at Jing Yi when he heard the words, "This is the most effective way."

Jing Yi thought of the bones piled up under the ladder during the previous siege and said, "If you use the ladder to attack the city, the sacrifice will be too great. The so-called soldiers never tire of deceit. Since we have Prince Beiyan as a hostage, why don't we use him?"

Xiao Yilin brought Tuoba Liansheng with him this time, but he didn't think of using Tuoba Liansheng to force the enemy to surrender.

Seeing Xiao Yilin's hesitation, Jing Yi said, "If you can use Tuoba Liansheng to force the enemy to surrender without losing a single soldier, then there is nothing to worry about. It is also our ability to capture the prince of Beiyan, so don't worry about it that much." Who said anything. In my opinion, the lives of soldiers are more important than their reputations."

Xiao Yilin looked at Jing Yi with admiration, "Jing Yan, you are right, I am too rigid. The lives of soldiers are more important than reputation. Besides, whoever dares to talk nonsense, I will let him go Siege the city instead of soldiers."

Jing Yi smiled and said: "Yes, if anyone is talking nonsense, let them attack the city with a ladder. As for Beiyan's voice, we don't have to worry about it. First use the trebuchet to attack a wave to put pressure on Pingyang's defenders , and then put Tuoba Liansheng up, when the time comes, I will call out and promise to make Pingyang's defenders surrender."

Xiao Yilin looked at the radiant little girl with a sly look in her eyes and immediately said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

He turned his head and waved to the soldiers, "The trebuchet is ready. The ladder is suspended."

The soldiers quickly pushed the trebuchets forward and lined up in a row.The soldiers loaded the stones and were ready to attack at any time.

Following Xiao Yilin's order, the soldiers controlled the trebuchet and launched an attack on Pingyang City.Huge stones hit the walls of Pingyang City one by one.

The defenders of Pingyang City also began to shoot arrows at the Jin army.Fortunately, at this time, the range of the trebuchets on the Jin side is greater than that of the bows and arrows, so the general bows and arrows cannot hit the soldiers on the Jin side.

This undoubtedly gave the Jin army the upper hand.
