Chapter 154: The Strength of the Nine Plains Army
Zhang Wuxian nodded, agreeing with Gao Chun's proposal. Due to the boss's surprise attack, the plan of Zhang Wuxian and the others was advanced, which was equivalent to further angering Zhang Wuxian.
At this time, the Jiuyuan army in the southernmost part of Langya County, after seeing Zhang Wuxian's signal arrow, stayed in place without any action, but quietly looked up at the starry sky in the same place.
An adjutant general beside Wang Ren said: "Marshal, the new Korean army launched the signal arrow so early, will there be fraud?" Otherwise, let's withdraw it. ”
Wang Ren shook his head: "The reason why the new dynasty army sent signal arrows earlier must have encountered some kind of change. I can trust Zhang Wuxian, since we have agreed to cooperate with others, we are naturally a gentleman who is quick to speak. We have no reason to delay, let alone escape. ”
Wang Ren paused and said, "Command the three armies, enter the battle state, and start attacking the city with a cup of tea." Order the siege team to move forward to the front of the army, let's take this southern city and fire the first shot! ”
The lieutenant arched his fist, and then went down to do his errands. Sure enough, the efficiency of the Jiuyuan army was really amazing, and after a cup of tea, all the people had already entered a state of readiness, and the siege team had also come to the front of the gate of the southern city.
At this time, the walls of the southern city were covered with archers, and even the lord of the southern city came to the city walls. Seeing such a battle, the city lord of Nancheng knew that it was the world-famous Jiuyuan army. Because only the Jiuyuan army has a strong siege team. Especially the siege vehicles used by the squad. No matter how strong the gates are, they will be breached in three blows.
The city lord of Nancheng swallowed his saliva suddenly, he knew what his fate would be after the city gate was breached, and he also knew that the resistance of his troops in Nancheng was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, when he ordered someone to carry a big white flag, and then waved the white flag on the city wall with his own hands, shouting: "General and slow, Lord Ben is willing to give Nancheng both hands, please play accurately!" ”
In fact, this performance is not like its literal meaning, it is difficult that if you want to beat a person, you will ask him if he will let you fight, the implication of this performance is to let Wang Ren leave a living mouth for himself, and not to do things like slaughtering the city.
Wang Ren did not hesitate at all, even if he agreed to the proposal of the city lord of Nancheng, and promised that he would not harm the soldiers and people in Nancheng. After all, Wang Ren personally does not like to use war to solve problems.
Seeing that Wang Ren agreed, the city lord of Nancheng ordered people to open the city gate, while he himself held the city lord's seal in both hands to greet him at the city gate. After arriving in Nancheng, the first thing Wang Ren did was to order people to go down to quell the people's grievances. But the Huns are the Huns after all, and in their opinion, the Han people are their innate enemies, and no matter how good you say, the Huns will not change their perception of you at all.
Realizing this, Wang Ren gave up. He didn't make any long stops in Nancheng, but took the city lord's seal and dismissed all the soldiers in Nancheng, including the city lord of Nancheng.
Originally, after the news of Nancheng's attack reached the ears of the boss, the boss quickly led the army to Nancheng. But when he came to Nancheng, he found that Nancheng had fallen into the hands of the enemy, and he was furious. Later, when he heard that it was his own people who surrendered without a fight, his anger soared. He set up a battle in Jiangcheng near Nancheng, vowing to fight to the death with the Jiuyuan army.
It is said that after the Jiuyuan army took Nancheng, the next goal was to defeat Jiangcheng, and then take the straight road and go directly to Yeyang. However, according to the scouts, the Xiongnu army had stayed in Jiangcheng and vowed to fight to the death with him.
After the deputy general told Wang Ren about the matter, Wang Ren didn't believe it, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he could only believe it. Wang Ren frowned and said, "What does the Huns mean by this move." Jiangcheng can be said to be the best of all the cities, and this city is very small, and the garrison of large armies will be crowded. By the way, who is the deputy general, who is the coach? ”
The adjutant general thought for a while and said, "I don't know much about this, but according to the report of the spies, it is said that he is the eldest son of several princes of Temur." The name is ominous. ”
Hearing the deputy general say this, Wang Ren seemed to suddenly realize: "If that guy is the boss, this matter can be explained." It seems that everything is providential, and the heavens are going to die Huns! ”
Although the deputy general didn't know what was going on, he knew that it was good news when he saw Wang Ren like this, and he was laughing stupidly. But Wang Ren knows the boss very well in his heart. In the past few years, the Jiuyuan army and the Huns have fought a lot, as long as the boss is the commander, Wang Ren will win every battle.
Wang Ren not only did not have the slightest fear, but also had a little joy in his heart, but then he heard the spies say that the enemy's strength was only about 80,000. The stone in Wang Ren's heart was lifted up again.
Wang Ren pondered that there were 150,000 Huns, and now there are only half of them in Jiangcheng. Then the question is, where is the other half, could it be that the Huns are using the boss as bait, and the other commander is ready to flank himself. Thinking of this, Wang Ren couldn't help but be a little uncertain.
Because of this, Wang Renfang decided to rest temporarily in Nancheng, and watching the wind is the best choice at present. As Wang Ren expected, in the second half of the night, the boss led a large army to attack Nancheng. But Wang Ren had expected it, so he was on guard, and the boss didn't get any benefits.
Originally, Wang Ren chose to be stationed in Nancheng to see the attitude of the boss, if he hid in Jiangcheng and did not come out, then there is a chance that this situation is an ambush, but if this guy can't bear to come to sneak attack, then it can only mean that Temur was blind and ruined the life and death of the Huns into the hands of the boss.
After putting on a sheepskin coat, Wang Ren came to the city wall of the southern city. Looking below, the boss led the army to stand in a black oppressive area, and the momentum was also very immense.
The boss cleared his throat and said loudly: "Wang Ren, how can I say that we are also old rivals. See each other again on the battlefield today, and I, Bo Lukao, will remember the old feelings and give you a chance to surrender and not kill. ”
After Wang Ren heard this, he also said aloud: "Bo Lu Kao, when do you like to tell jokes." My Jiuyuan army has always been born to overcome you Huns. At this life-and-death juncture, I, Wang Ren, will never give you a chance to surrender. You have only two options, one is to decide for yourself. The second is that the Jiuyuan army has ruled on its behalf, but the second option will allow you not to leave all the corpses! ”
After Bo Lukao heard Wang Ren's words, the smile on his face was suppressed, and he said angrily: "There will be a decisive battle between the Jiuyuan army and our Great Huns. Today, either you die or I live! ”
Wang Ren sneered: "No, it should be you who die, and I who live!" With that, Wang Ren ordered the rolling wood and stones to be transported to the city wall as quickly as possible, and at the same time ordered the archers to be in place.
But seeing that wave after wave of soldiers moved the rolling wood and stones, Wang Ren then ordered: "The archer has an order, release the arrows!" ”
"Order!" Immediately, a flood of arrows shot out from the top of the city wall and struck at the black pressure below. Then came to the ears the sound of iron weapons clashing one after another, but it was the Huns who blocked the bows and arrows with shields.
Naturally, Wang Ren didn't plan to hurt the Huns with arrows, the important thing was to roll the wood.
Wang Ren saw that the enemy was holding shields on his head, and immediately shouted: "Hurry up, roll wood and prepare!" Throw! "Boom~~~, the rolling logs rolled down the city wall like a flood.
Seeing this, Wang Ren waved his handsome flag, pointed to the black press in the distance, and shouted: "Trebuchet ready, southeast, southwest, launch!" ”
The rolling wood and stones kept throwing down like a tide. Although the offensive was fierce, the Huns were also known for their bravery and good fighting, and they cooperated properly, and there were still some soldiers who came to the city wall through the ladder with the cooperation of other soldiers. When they reached the top of the city wall, the Huns began to slash with their sabers.
Wang Ren saw that the Huns came to the city wall and went directly to the archers and wood rollers, which led to the weakening of his offensive for a while, when he personally drew his sword to solve the Huns in front of him, but with the decrease of the wood rollers and archers, it led to an increase in the number of Huns, and he was a little unguardable for a while.
After Wang Ren killed one of the Huns at his side, he then threw him directly under the city gate, shouting almost at the same time: "All the soldiers withdraw from the city wall, and the fire line is ready!" ”
After the order was given, the archers, wood rollers and stone bearers on the city wall came from the top of the city wall to the bottom of the city wall, and at the same time, almost the entire city wall had been occupied by the Huns.
As for the fire line hand in Wang Ren's mouth, it was Wang Ren who deliberately buried gunpowder under the city wall just in case, and at the same time strung it with a rope, and the person responsible for lighting the rope to blow up the city wall was called the fire lineman, due to the technical limitations of the times. Therefore, it is necessary to have a fire hand every other meter, and these fire hands need to be ignited almost at the same time before they can play.
At this time, the Huns had completely occupied the city wall, and the archers had also occupied the concave surface above the city wall, ready to catch turtles in an urn.
Wang Ren looked at the front-line hand and found that they were all in place, and when he shouted: "The three armies have an order, the rear team becomes the front team, and the front team becomes the rear team!" 100 meters back! ”
"Order!" Suddenly, Xiongshi turned around and walked towards the back.
The commander on the city wall saw that the Jiuyuan army actually walked towards the interior of the southern city, and thought that he was afraid of himself, and even looked up to the sky and smiled: "The rumored Jiuyuan army is nothing more than that, brothers shoot me to death this gang of cowards!" ”
Before the words fell, there was a loud rumbling bang. As for those front-line men, because the armor they wore was specially made, their lives were guaranteed.
With the loud noise falling, the city wall also fell, and the Huns on the city wall were not spared, and after a burst of smoke, the two armies saw only a ruin.
