Under the city of Kunyang, the nine tigers of the northern army led the elite soldiers of the northern army to protect the new emperor Wang Mang.
The morale of the emperor''s army rose because of the new army''s March.
Wang Mang asked people to build catapults, siege hammers and ladder trucks to dig tunnels.
Contrary to Wang Yi and Wang Xun, Wang Mang was like a big enemy.
"If I lose this war, I will lose everything I have, including my life."
Wang Mang''s face was solemn.
He turned to Wang Yi and asked, "I have promised to take the head of Liu Xiu, and he can award 100000 Marquises and reward 200000 gold. So far, no one is willing to kill Liu Xiu in exchange for a reward? "
"Your Majesty, we have not heard who has taken the lead of Liu Xiu. It seems that Liu Xiu is quite popular in the green forest army. "
"Since lairuan is not good, we can only send a large army to defeat Liu Xiu and kill him. I did a lot of preparation for this day. As long as Liu Xiu is killed and the peasant army uprisings are put down, the world will be settled again. "
Wang Mang''s tone is full of uncertainty.
Yan you came to Wang Mang and said to Wang Mang, "Your Majesty, you have found out where the 20000 cavalry from Kunyang city are going. They are now collecting green forest troops from the city of Jiancheng. They are preparing to cooperate with the garrison inside and outside the city to liberate the garrison of Kunyang city. Your majesty, please
"Is Liu Xiu among the 20000 cavalry?"
"I don''t know..."
"It seems that Liu Xiu is mostly outside the city, and he will not sit quietly waiting for death, otherwise he will not be Liu Xiu. Take Kunyang city as a bait to attract Liu Xiu. I must kill him in order to secure the throne. "
Wang Mang soon had an idea.
Although Yan you doesn''t understand why Wang Mang is so bitter about Liu Xiu, he still acts according to the order: "at the end of the day, he will lead a team of cavalry to patrol in the direction of Jiancheng. Once Liu Xiu advances to Kunyang, he will immediately inform his majesty."
"Very good, Yan you. It seems that you are much more reliable than Wangyi and Wangxun. I will give you Huben army and 100000 troops."
"Thank you, your majesty."
Wang Yi put out his old face and asked, "does your majesty mean that we should not attack Kunyang city?"
"No, we must storm Kunyang city and force Liu Xiu to come back as soon as possible, but we can''t allow Kunyang city to surrender, nor can we really capture Kunyang city. I don''t believe that the 800000 army will lose to tens of thousands of Liu Xiu''s people. "
Wang Mang is confident that he has excellent soldiers and valiant generals, and he will not defeat Liu Xiu tens of thousands of people.
If there were only 800000 yellow turban troops, they might be defeated by 30000 cavalry. However, Wang Mang did not lack high-level arms or generals. What he might lack was one or two top-level commanders.
The army of the new dynasty was ordered by Wang Mang to attack Kunyang city!
With the roar of the catapults, huge stones roared down!
Boom!
The stone hit a battlement, the stone splashed, and several cracks appeared in the battlement.
The green army on the city wall was frightened by the stone throwing machine and did not dare to raise its head.
"The bandits have attacked the city!"
A green forest Sergeant called out in horror.
Liang Hongyu led a team of crossbow soldiers to the city, risking being killed by a catapult, looking at the enemy soldiers outside the city.
Boom! There was another loud noise. The huge stones thrown by the stone throwing machine hit the tower, and the tiles broke and fell, and the dust filled the air!
Liang Hongyu was not moved because her sight had been attracted by the army all over the mountains and fields.
Wang Mang sent the first batch of troops to attack Kunyang City, with 100000 troops!
For this small city of Kunyang, such forces have been a little exalted and can not be fully launched.
The dense new army submerged the city of Kunyang. Kunyang city became a solid reef and let the tide of the new army beat!
The huge stone falls, the bed crossbow roars, the huge siege tower approaches the city wall, and the 100000 new army begins to attack this solid city!
Thirty thousand bowmen and ten thousand arrows fired at once, covering the garrison on the city wall. Liang Hongyu had to hide behind the city wall!
The thick crossbow shot by the bed crossbow has amazing penetrating power and even has not entered the city wall!
"How many arrows did Wang Mang prepare in advance?"
Liang Hongyu seldom saw such a large amount of enemy troops. He directly used tens of thousands of archers to suppress the garrison, and fired continuously. The archers on the wall did not dare to raise their heads to fight back.
"Is this the army of the new dynasty? It''s just a numbing amount... "
When Huo Qing led the shooting sound camp to enter the city, he had to brave the arrow rain of the other side and suppress the enemy attacking the city.
Under the protection of archers, the army of the new dynasty has attacked the city with ants attached. Dozens of cloud ladders have been linked to the city wall. The siege tower is less than 30 meters away from the wall!
"Use kerosene
The hot oil poured down and flowed down the ladder. The soldiers who attacked the city were drenched in the oil, screamed and then rolled down. The ladder burns because of the hot temperature!
Liang Hongyu''s Jianyan catapults the Rockets in volley. As a hero, Liang Hongyu has an extra bonus for lighting the fire arrow. Because the two siege towers were hit by too many rockets, the enemy who attacked the city couldn''t put out the burning fire in time, and the smoke was rising!"Kill!"
New army soldiers have already boarded the city. They fight with the green forest army on the wall of the city. Their weapons collide and their flesh and blood splash. From time to time, some enemy troops who attack the city are pushed down by the garrison and fall from the seven meter wall, and they are crushed to pieces!
After a general''s success, there are more than ten thousand bones here!
"My brother is fighting in Central Asia, and Chu Tian is gathering troops outside the city. I can''t hold them back. I have to defend this city in any case."
Huo Qing has a garrison bonus, which can improve the defense of the garrison and provide a bonus to the morale of the garrison.
Because she and Liang Hongyu were directing the crossbow men to kill and kill the new North Korean army which was attacking the city, and tried to delay the progress of the new army''s siege.
Yan you''s 100000 new army was unable to capture Kunyang city.
Another important reason is that Wang Mang does not intend to capture Kunyang so soon, but wants to use Kunyang to lure Liu Xiu, the son of heaven.
Wang Mang''s mind is not on Kunyang city. He is deploying the remaining 700000 troops, waiting for Liu Xiu and Chu Tian to fall into the trap.
……
On the other hand, Liu Xiu personally led 3000 dead men and joined forces with 20000 cavalry of Chu Tian to rescue Kunyang, while Ma Wu and Wang BA''s generals led 14000 cavalry to take over later.
For Liu Xiu''s courage, Chu Tian is deeply shocked. How dare he dare?
Liu Xiu, with 3000 cavalry, wanted to save Kunyang.
Chu Tian didn''t know whether Liu Xiu was brave or not. He really just put his hand in his hand. It''s up to people and heaven to make things happen.
"Wang Mang came in person to stabilize the army''s morale. We should not underestimate the 800000 new army. Wang Mang, who founded the new dynasty, was a strange man in itself and could not be inferred from common sense. Hope to follow Liu Xiu, really can turn the bad luck. If your judgment is wrong, I will deduct your salary when you go back. "
After listening to Sun Bin''s suggestion, Chu Tian believed that Liu Xiu was the son of pure luck, so he chose to take risks with Liu Xiu without making his own decisions.
With the 20000 cavalry of Chutian and the 17000 green forest army recruited by Liu Xiu, the total number is 37000.
There are 29000 people in Kunyang City, equivalent to 66000 troops in total.
The ratio of 66000 troops to 840000 troops is still wide.
It is conceivable that Wang Mang''s army, with only special branches, exceeds 60000.
Chu Tian, except Zhao Yun, the other cavalry generals did not come here. If King Arthur, Tai Shici, Wanyan Chen monk and Yuchi Gong were present, they might not have been so critical.
The addition of Chu''s cavalry has two characteristics of Chu''s cavalry: "Cang Lang Bai Lu" and "Feng Lang juxu". Because they are not dealing with foreign forces, the effect of "sealing up wolf and occupying Xu" is not complete.
In addition, there are "Hanwu" (the bonus to the civilized arms of the Han Empire) and "Tian Khan" (the bonus to the foreign cavalry).
Sun Bin''s military assistant characteristic also has the bonus.
Finally, it is the aura of the whole army unknown to Emperor Guangwu.
After several effects, the cavalry power of Chutian is quite explosive.
The problem is that the cavalry can''t fall into the 800000 army.
Once the speed of the cavalry slows down, the combat power of the cavalry will decline and the advantage of the cavalry will be lost.
Sun Bin was also worried about Liu Xiu''s luck: "there should not be much deviation in the officials'' judgment. I have a premonition that as long as you follow Liu Xiu, you can win
"So simple?"
This is when Chu Tian rarely holds his thighs.
The first time he met Tang Taizong in the national war before, it was also Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty that Li Shimin defeated the Gaoli Bangzi and the Gaogouli army, and Chu Tian followed him to pick up the leak.
, and this time, Liu Xiu, emperor of Guang Wu, seemed to be very awesome. None of these founding emperors was ordinary people.
However, there is a saying that the feeling of holding thighs is not bad, Chutian has not had this feeling for a long time.
Liu Xiu didn''t know that Wang Mang had set a trap in front of him, waiting for him to go back.
