Chapter 249: Conquering Yi County
Under the head of the city, Zhang Min was hiding behind several round shields to supervise the battle. Writing "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info attacking the city has never been Zhang Min's fortification, so he is not in a hurry to get close to the city wall as soon as possible, but hides behind a few shield bearers at a moderate distance, and from time to time leans out half of his body to command and order, ordering the Chu soldiers who have caught up to strengthen and make up for the weakness.
Gan Ning, who has been waiting for a bow at the head of the city, has naturally noticed Zhang Min who shouted and commanded the siege of the Chu army from time to time, although Zhang Min has more than ten loyal Chu soldiers around him to raise shields to protect up and down, but they are not well-protected square shields, but are still all portable round shields. And there is always a gap between the round shields, with Gan Ning's archery skills, finding the flaws in them and shooting them with arrows is not an easy task, but it is by no means too difficult. But in the face of the increasingly fierce offensive of the Chu army, Gan Ning has never had the intention of pulling out arrows to shoot at each other.
Ganning's men on the city wall fired fewer and fewer arrows, not because of the number of casualties, but because of the lack of arrows. Although the others except the crossbowmen tried every means to hinder the Chu army from ascending the city, using knives to chop the hook ropes thrown by the Chu soldiers, smashing the light soldiers of the Chu army who were attached to the city with stones, and using the poles to push back the long ladder of the Chu army, etc., because of the absolute disadvantage in numbers, it could only play a role in delaying and could not reverse the entire battle situation.
In fact, if there are enough people on the city wall to help defend the city and help the defenders share some of the heavy work such as throwing stones and lighting firewood, Di County may still be able to hold on. After all, Zhang Xun now has no more than these thousands of light soldiers, without any siege equipment, and he is not even equipped with strong bows and crossbows.
However, Gan Ning decided not to recruit the people of Yi County, on the one hand, because he took into account the aspirations of the people of Yi County, and was worried that sending these people to the city wall to defend the city was a stupid plan to mess up. On the other hand, Gan Ning also has his own plans in his heart.
In the end, it was the elite of the light soldiers carefully selected by Zhang Xun, and soon, there were vigorous Chu soldiers who climbed the city wall and fought closely with Gan Ning's troops, and Gan Ning still only transferred reserves to go everywhere to help, and still did not take action personally.
Gan Ning didn't move, Zhang Min under the city finally moved, seeing that the arrows and stones shot on the city wall became fewer and fewer, from the beginning of the sparse and scattered gradually became few, Zhang Min concluded that the defenders in the city had exhausted, and immediately no longer let the guards around him protect him, that is, he wanted to go to the city to fight in person.
said that it was too late and that it was fast, Tai Shi Ci twisted the arrow with the bow in his hand at the moment when Zhang Min showed his face, and the others had not seen Gan Ning's next move, but they had already seen Gan Ning abandon the bow to the ground, pulled out his portable saber and pointed straight ahead, and shouted: "The enemy general is dead, athletes, follow me down to the city to drive away the Chu thief!" ”
Everyone looked at it fixedly, but they saw the direction pointed by the tip of Gan Ning's knife, and a big man dressed as a general of the Chu army had already fallen to the ground with an arrow in his chest, facing the sky on his back, and he didn't move!
An inspiring shout of killing shouted, and the defenders of Yixian County, who had revitalized their morale, temporarily forgot their previous fatigue and fatigue, and under the drive of Gan Ning's shirtless sword-dancing knife, the defenders on the city wall drove the Chu soldiers who had already landed on the city from the city wall in an incredible way, and directly contained the offensive of the Chu army.
The danger of the loss of the city wall was solved, and Gan Ning opened the city gate and led his brave men out of the city. And although Gan Ning's mounts were counted, they took the initiative to go out of the city to kill only more than twenty or thirty horsemen, and there were only three hundred people on foot, but the Chu army still couldn't stop it, which almost declared the failure of the Chu army in this siege!
A little farther away, Zhang Xun saw Gan Ning with a small number of weak men and horses to drive and kill his own soldiers, even if he wanted to personally pat the horse to fight Gan Ning, at this moment, a person next to him stepped forward to stop Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun turned his head to see, it was the newly appointed Lujiang Governor Lu Su.
Although Zhang Xun is not familiar with Lu Su, he has also heard the deeds of Lu Su pointing to the warehouse and giving grain, and he also understands from Lu Su's resume that Lu Su is a talent valued by Zhang Xiu's cronies, so he did not attack immediately, but said in a deep voice: "What is Lu Duwei?" ”
Lu Su took up the post of lieutenant of Lujiang for two months, and the Jiangxia War involved the two counties of Qichun and Lujiang, and the county guards of the two counties sent local civil and military subordinates such as Wei and Cheng to assist Zhang Xun, the general of Zhengdong, to fight against the enemy. And Lu Su has only been in office for a short time, and he is not familiar with his subordinates, so all matters in the army are decided by Xu Yan of Lujiang County. At present, Xu Yan is under the command of the Lujiang County soldiers, and the main force of Zhang Xun's army paves roads and bridges to transport grain and grass, and Lu Su obeys the orders of the commander Zhang Xun on behalf of Lujiang County.
I only heard Lu Su speak: "General Zhengdong is slow!" Although the general will definitely rewrite the battle situation by personally going out to rewrite the battle, our army's strength is not sufficient, and the physical strength of the soldiers is limited, so it is difficult to continue the siege even if we win this battle. Rather than holding each other, it is better to collect the troops and recuperate for the time being, wait for the enemy army to be exhausted, and then attack quickly, and this city will definitely be recovered! ”
The reason Lu Su said is very simple, Zhang Xun has been fighting for ten years, and he can be regarded as a famous general, and he still knows the strategy of avoiding reality and making up for fiction. But helplessly, his martial arts habits are still very heavy, and he can't restrain himself when his temper rises, so after seeing Zhang Min being shot and the defenders provoking the attack, he wants to go into battle in person.
However, if there are people around him who try their best to dissuade him, Zhang Xun is not a person who can't listen to anything. Looking back, it was indeed easier to break the city according to what Lu Su said, but in front of everyone, his face was still a little unbearable, and finally he snorted heavily and said coldly: "Also, such a thief, use this general to go out." It will be according to your plan, but if you still can't take the city, you should do it according to military law! ”
Lu Su saw that Zhang Xun's hand loosened slightly, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't too worried about whether he would be involved in military justice, but he just wanted to sigh with emotion.
Looking at the battlefield in a blink of an eye, Gan Ning galloped left and right, as if he had entered a no-man's land in the Chu army, which had nothing to fight, not only sighed lightly, but suddenly felt a sense of luck in his heart.
Fortunately, Huang Zu is incompetent, and he will not be reused if he has such a good general, he has the talent of a pioneer general, but he is only the county magistrate of a small county, so it is no wonder that he will be defeated with tens of thousands of troops.
Such a brave person, if he can be used by the King of Chu, then there is one more good general in my Great Chu army!
Lu Su was thinking nonsense here, but Gan Ning, who had killed the Chu army and retreated one after another, suddenly reined in his horse and returned to the city. Although the Chu army wanted to fight back, because the front army really did not have the immediate dispatch of capable generals, let alone taking the opportunity to rush to the city, it was not even organized to fight back. Seeing this situation, Zhang Xun's face turned even blue.
Lu Su secretly said that it was not good, this Gan Ning did not take advantage of the victory to continue to kill, but left a little strength, although this will not change the next battle situation, but if you want to capture this person alive and annihilate his troops, I am afraid it will be difficult.
The Chu army lost its troops and could not attack again, so Mingjin withdrew his troops, and it was not yet noon at this time.
Just rested in place for half a day, slightly repaired and replenished the siege equipment, and in the evening, it was to beat the drum again and march!
This time, Gan Ning didn't resist, or couldn't resist. The arrows have long been shot, but there are still some stones to throw.
