Chapter 247 Xiao Xuan hoped that the An army would be victorious, but Yue Ze did not understand his kindness, waved his hand and said: "Brother Xiao Wang, my An army does not have a lot of siege equipment, and it is enough to deal with the customs clearance." ” He said it with confidence, Xiao Xuan didn't force it, as long as he could win, he would fight Yue Ze whatever he wanted.
Yue Ze boasted in public that he went to Haikou, and after leaving the tent of the Chinese army, he immediately returned to the camp of the Anjun army.
When he saw his subordinates, his tone suddenly took a 180-degree turn.
He made clear requirements for the generals under his command, this battle can be fought, if it can't be fought, it will be completely and immediately thorough, with the aim of minimizing his own losses.
The generals understood and nodded their heads in understanding.
Before the war began, the An army led by Yue Ze had the idea of preserving its strength, not to mention that the opponent was the Zhen army, even if it was just a group of rabble grass robbers, driven by this idea, whether they could win or not was two words.
Soon, the 200,000 An troops left the coalition camp and went straight to the customs clearance ten miles away.
There was nothing to say on the way, and the An army successfully arrived outside the customs clearance city.
Although it is said that it is a checkpoint, the area is about the same as a small city, because it is a military facility, there are no people in the pass, and the huge checkpoint is a little empty except for the barracks or barracks.
The city wall of Tongguan is not high, at best it is about three zhang, because the age of construction has been a long time, and it has never been renovated, the city wall also looks dilapidated, and there are large cracks in many places.
Looking at the top of the city wall, there are quite a few Zhen troops, standing on it, densely packed, and it is impossible to tell the number.
According to the intelligence of the coalition forces, there were more than 30,000 defenders who cleared the pass, and the strength was far from the 200,000 An's troops.
Yue Ze personally supervised the battle, looked in the direction of the clearance, and grinned secretly, the intelligence said that there were 30,000 Zhen troops in the customs clearance, how could it be that the Zhen army on the city wall looked like there were tens of thousands of people, could it be that his own intelligence was wrong He was up and down in his heart, and asked the surrounding security generals: "Who wants to go to the Zhen army first and try the depth of the enemy's army?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Chong, the partial general of the An army, urged his horse out, came to Yue Ze's approach, and said: "King, the last general is willing to take the lead."
Yue Ze nodded and said, "At present, the strength of the Zhen army is unknown, General Liu should be more careful. ” "The last general understands" Liu Chong agreed, rode his horse out of the formation, restrained the war horse at a stone's throw outside the clearance, and scolded the enemy at the head of the city.
After a short time, the gate of the city was opened, and two thousand men rushed out from it, and one of the leaders of the group, Zhen General, held a spear and went straight to Liu Chong.
This Zhen general's name is Chen Guan, who is the deputy general who cleared the customs, and after sharing the same name and surname with Liu Chong, the two horses were staggered and fought in one place.
The two of them went back and forth, only fought for more than ten rounds, Liu Chong made a careless move, and was picked up by Chen Guan with a shot under the horse, and before he could get up from the ground, Chen Guan urged the horse to step forward, and smashed Liu Chong directly to the ground.
Yue Ze, who was watching the battle, watched Liu Chong die tragically at the hands of General Zhen, and his face instantly sank.
The generals were sad and angry, unconvinced, and asked for their lives, wanting to go out and fight to the death with the Zhen generals.
Yue Ze waved his hand and said: "There is no need to fight alone, pass on the order of the king, and the whole army will attack the city" As soon as he gave the order, the 200,000 An'an troops moved up and down.
While the siege corps was advancing, the anti-army had already set up a well-placed stone thrower to start out.
Yue Ze did not use the siege weapons of other countries, not because he trusted it, but because the siege weapons of the An army were indeed a lot.
There is nothing else in Anguo, that is, there is a lot of money, and there are countless siege equipment, and there are nearly 2,000 stone throwing machines alone, which are fired together, and the stone bullets in the sky are overwhelmingly shrouded in the past.
In just one round of attack, the city walls that cleared the customs have bloomed everywhere, and many Zhen soldiers who could not dodge were smashed down the city walls in groups, falling to pieces, and there were also many city walls that were smashed by stone bullets and collapsed, full of devastation.
Under the frantic blows of the Angolan army's catapults, the Angolan siege infantry methodically advanced to within the range of the clearance.
At this time, countless Zhen soldiers gathered at the top of the city with stone bullets that fell from time to time, and desperately fired arrows outside the city.
Waves of arrows rained down into the An'an army's camp, followed by a clanging sound of iron colliding, and the remnants of arrows that fell on the ground were spread all over the ground.
The Angolan army is the most well-equipped among the nations, even the most ordinary soldiers wear extremely hard, steel-made armor, and they all hold heavy steel shields in their hands, and long-range arrows are really not a great threat to the An's army.
However, as the distance between the two sides continued to approach, the Anjun's catapult stopped firing, and the Zhen army at the head of the city finally gained a firm foothold and could shoot vigorously at the Anjun outside the city without distraction.
Outside the city, the wails of arrows in the An'an camp came and went, and the rolling logs, rocks and hot oil that fell from the city caused huge casualties to the An'an soldiers.
By the time the Anjun army erected the ladder and began to climb and charge up the city, their armor became their heaviest burden.
Dozens of pounds of armor hung on their bodies, making them look extremely slow in the process of climbing, Zhen Jun seized the opportunity to shoot and smash the An army, after more than half an hour of fighting, the An army did not step to the head of the city half a step, but the corpses of the An army outside the city have begun to stack Luoluo.
Yue Ze watched and worried, if he continued to fight like this, even if he could capture the clearance, he would have to suffer heavy losses.
Thinking of this, he ordered the generals on the left and right to quickly withdraw the troops and not fight anymore.
Before the battle, he had already reminded the generals that everyone was ready to retreat at any time, but now the battle is about to withdraw before even an hour, which is too fast However, Yue Ze is the king, and his words will not dare to disobey, and the Anjun camp is silent, and a series of gongs sounded at the same time.
The soldiers of the Anjun army who were storming the city in front heard that they had no intention of fighting, and the rear army became the front army, and the whole army retreated.
Don't look at how easy it is for them to advance, when they retreat, they were subjected to the concentrated pursuit of the Zhen army, and the arrow array continued to shoot from behind the Anjun army, and there were thousands of Anjun soldiers who were shot and wounded and killed in the retreat process alone.
The Anjun army came and withdrew quickly, and after a so-called siege battle, the casualties of the Angolan army together did not exceed 10,000, and the whole army retreated to the coalition camp.
Yue Ze went directly to the Zhongjun tent, and after seeing the kings who were waiting for the news, he didn't wait to speak, he first drank two large sips of tea, and then said while gasping: "Our intelligence is wrong, the Zhen army in the customs clearance city is far more than 30,000, our soldiers of the army are bloody, and they can't attack for a long time, and the damage is too great in the end, so they have to temporarily withdraw to the prince, but they don't have to worry, after the bloody battle just now, the Zhen army also suffered heavy losses."
Without waiting for him to finish, Xiao Xuan stood up violently.
It only took two hours for the An'an army to return from the camp, and after removing the time on the road, I am afraid that the siege of the city will take about half an hour, and it is nonsense to talk about what it cannot be attacked for a long time, and what to talk about the heavy casualties.
Seeing Xiao Xuan's gloomy and ugly face, Yue Ze was also so frightened that he shrank his neck, put down the teacup in his hand tremblingly, hung his head, and didn't dare to say a word.
His gaze swept over him, Xiao Xuan looked at the other kings and asked, "Who else is willing to lead the army to attack the customs again?"
This time it was Li Xin who asked to play.

He also saw that the An army that went out to fight just now didn't use all his strength at all, and it was estimated that he ran back after shaking a circle before clearing the gate The An army went out for two hours, the Huan army was faster, and it was defeated and retreated in more than an hour, and the words were almost the same as Yue Ze, what was the customs clearance defenders more than 30,000, the resistance was tenacious, plus the customs clearance was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Huan army was really powerless.
There was Yue Ze first, and then Li Xin, the words of the two of them made the noses of everyone present almost crooked, is this a war It's just nonsense.
Lingshuang sighed secretly and turned his head to look at Tang Yin on his right, who also had a sarcastic wry smile on his face, disappointed by the Six-Nation Alliance.
The current situation reminded him of the scene when the princes of the Eighteenth Route in the Three Kingdoms crusaded against Dong Zhuo, the princes had their own ghosts and selfish intentions, and finally returned defeated.
However, at that time, Dong Zhuo was strong and the princes were weak, but now their situation is different, the six countries are strong, the Zhen country is weak, but the powerful six countries, the coalition army of more than one million, can't even beat a small customs clearance, this is not only ridiculous, it is simply a humiliation.
If you continue to cooperate with such a stupid prince, you will have to be angry with them.
Just when the kings were discussing who should fight next, Tang Yin suddenly said: "Let's divide the troops and fight."
"Ah" The kings were all stunned, Yue Ze and Li Xin asked in unison: "When we discussed before, Brother Tang also said that it was beneficial to join forces, why do you say that you want to divide your troops now?"
It is advantageous to join forces, the premise is that everyone is selfless, and now the kings are afraid of their own big losses, and they are afraid that they will suffer losses, how can this battle be fought Tang Yin didn't bother to explain, nor did he bother to complain about the kings, so he said bluntly: "This king has a proposal, the coalition army will divide into three routes, and the three roads will march to Xitang, the capital of Zhenguo.
The Feng army and the jade army all the way, go through the customs, enter Guping County, and then take Xitang, the Sichuan army and the Mo army can be all the way, go to Jingguan, enter Xinfeng County, and then enter the west to Xitang, the An army and the Huan army can be all the way, temporarily do the rear army, that is, the backup of the first two road armies, there is a need to go to reinforce there, and it can also ensure the logistics supply of the first two road armies, I don't know what Liegong thinks" "This" Shao Fang groaned, did not speak immediately, Xiao Xuan rubbed his chin, and was silent, Yue Ze and Li Xin were both happy, let themselves be backups, no need to charge in front, this is of course the best.
He and the two of them were afraid that others would have objections, so they rushed to be the rear army with themselves, and said in a loud voice: "Brother Tang's strategy is very good":
