Traveling Through Land Reclamation: Farmers' Women Can't Be Dizzled

Chapter 259 Leverage victory to pursue

Jing Yi had never seen how Xiao Yilin was leading the battle, so he just watched from the side and did not say much. 

  A row of catapults was ready, and the soldiers who attacked the city with stairs were also ready. 

  Following Xiao Yilin's orders, the army controlled the trebuchet and launched an attack on Linzhao City. The huge stones flew into the air and flew towards the city wall of Linzhao City. In the blink of an eye, huge boulders fell on the city walls of Linzhao City and a few soldiers on the city walls. 

  At the same time, some soldiers from Jin State ran towards the city wall of Linzhao City with stairs, and when they reached the bottom of the city wall, they placed a ladder on the wall, and, and then start climbing the stairs quickly. . 

  Although the defenders on the walls of Linzhao Town were hit by a boulder from time to time, there were still many soldiers who shot arrows at the Jin army on the stairs. 

  The so-called cloud staircase was a long staircase, which Jing Yi saw as too simple, and had no protection for the soldiers who were besieging the city. Many soldiers were hit by arrows and fell down the stairs. 

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

  Jing Yi watched with his own eyes real life disappear before his eyes. This was clearly a human sea tactic, using many people to attack the city. But how many people would be killed or injured to break through the city? 

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

  Under the double pressure from the catapults of the Jin army and the soldiers who attacked the city with stairs, the defenders of Linzhao Town did not last long. After half an hour after the Jin army attacked the city, the defensive line was finally broken through, and the Jin State Warrior army climbed onto the wall. 

  If there is one, there are two.More and more Jin army soldiers go to the city wall, and the army 

  The Jin who went to the city walls started to engage in empty-handed battles with the defenders of Linzhao Town on the city walls. This also caused the defenders of Linzhao Town to have no time to take care of the stairs and Jin soldiers who climbed up from the stairs. 

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

  Right now, the people in Linzhao Town almost fled, and the city was almost empty except for the defenders. 

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

  Under the leadership of Xiao Yilin, the Jin forces invaded Linzhaocheng, and the general defending Linzhaocheng was killed.The small boss below had no backbone, and some of them fled with his people leaving the city. If you don't run, you can only be killed. No one is stupid. 

  The so-called speed of the army was extremely valuable, Xiao Yilin did not stop to rest after capturing Linzhao City, but left his troops to clear the battlefield, take care of the wounded soldiers, hold the dead soldiers, and leave the army behind, clear out the rest of the defenders in the city, and take over the city's defenses. He led the troops out of Linzhao and continued to chase the fleeing Beiyan army. 

  True enough, the Beiyan army brought by Mo Kun did not fight Xiao Yilin and the others, but rather fled when Xiao Yilin and the others attacked the city. 

  How could Xiao Yilin let them go, utilizing the high spirits of the soldiers to continue chasing, trying to destroy more Beiyan troops and seize more Beiyan city. 

  They chased behind the Beiyan army into Pingyang City, Beiyan's second city. 

  The defenders in Pingyang were already aware of the news that Linzhao City had fallen, although they did not leave the city and fled, they were all afraid that Pingyang Chengcheng would become the next Linzhao City. It's almost certain. 

  It could be said that the capture of Linzhao by Xiao Yilin exerted a lot of psychological pressure on these Beiyan warriors. 

  Sun Sheng already knew that the withdrawn Beiyan troops did not help Linzhao's defenders defend the city at all, but fled first when they saw that the momentum was wrong. Those in Pingyang did not expect these fleeing people to help them defend the city. It would be better not to mess with them. 

  Before Sun Sheng finished thinking, several soldiers came to report that the fleeing soldiers had left the city. 

  Sun Sheng scolded the group of idiots in his heart, and then thought about his situation and future. Will he fight to the end and eventually die for the country?

  There are a lot of 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 treasures 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 the Jin army is more restrained and does not harm the people in the city. 

  The Jin army outside Pingyang City had prepared a posture to attack the city. 

  Jing Yi turned his head and looked at the stairs the soldiers were preparing, pulled the reins and smashed into the horses, approached Xiao Yilin and said, "Sister Xiao, brother Xiao, are you still using the trebuchet and stairs to attack the city this time?" Xiao Xiao Yilin turned his head and 

  seeing Jing Yi looking, "This is the most effective way." 

  Jing Yi thought of the bones stacked under the stairs during the previous siege and said, "If you use the stairs to attack the city, the sacrifice will be too great. The so-called soldiers never tire of deceiving, since we have Prince Beiyan in our hands As hostages, why not use it?" Xiao Yilin's 

  taking Tuoba Liansheng with him this time, but he did not do so. thought 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's also our ability to capture Prince Beiyan, so don't I don't worry too much about him." Who says anything. In my opinion, soldiers' lives are more important than their reputations." 

  Xiao Yilin looked at Jing Yi in awe after hearing this, "Jing Yan, you're right, I'm "I'm too old-fashioned. Life is more important than reputation. Moreover, if anyone dares to speak nonsense, I will let him attack the city rather than the army." Jing Yi said with a smile: "Yes, 

  if anyone speaks nonsense, let him attack the city with a ladder. As for Bei Yan We don't have to worry about the sound there. First use a slingshot to attack the waves to suppress the defenders of Pingyang, then push Tuoba Liansheng up, and then I will shout and promise to make the defenders of Pingyang surrender.” 

  Xiao Yilin looked at the shining little girl with a sneaky look in her eyes and immediately said, “Oke, I'll do as you say.” 

  He turned his head and waved to the soldier, "Trebuchet is ready. Staircase's suspended."

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

  Following Xiao Yilin's orders, the soldiers took control of the trebuchet and launched an attack on Pingyang City. Huge boulders hit the walls of Pingyang City one by one. 

  The defenders of Pingyang City also started shooting arrows at the Jin army. Fortunately, at present, the range of the trebuchet on the Jin side is greater than that of bows and arrows, so common bows and arrows cannot hit soldiers on the Jin side. 

  This undoubtedly gave the Jin army an edge.
