Chapter 0073: The Great Dou Tu Gu (II)
In the first year of heaven, June twenty-eight, at noon.
The 3rd Regiment of the 8th Division of Shence, under the command of Wang Zhu, the commander of the capital, the 300 warriors of the 1st Battalion, carrying ladders, shields, and fire oil, rushed towards the Dadou Guguan. The soldiers shouted slogans, braved the dense number of arrows flying from the city, and finally put the ladder on the city, and the first battalion captain Wu Deng bravely took the lead, holding a shield and carrying a Mo sword, and climbed towards the city with difficulty.
His shield, already stained with arrows, seemed to hold a huge hedgehog.
From the first battalion to the point where the ladder was erected, more than thirty soldiers fell, some motionless, some wailing in pain, and some crawling with difficulty.
The blood of the soldiers is soaked in the land of the motherland.
Their blood is pregnant with batches of iron bones and countless souls of loyalty to the country.
Abandoning all factional distractions, the 1st Brigade temporarily raised the only cowhide drum and beat it loudly to cheer for the friendly soldiers.
The war drums rumbled, echoing in the valley, and the soldiers were boiling with blood, and the knives in their hands were sweating.
"Cripple, what the hell are you selling? Why do I think you old boy has bad intentions? Chen Mu said to the lame.
The cripple snorted coldly: "You have just become an officer, and it is easy to be brave in blood, if you listen to me, you will never suffer." ”
"We can't harm our allies."
"It's not that I want to trap him, it's that he brought it on himself."
"Looks like you're planning something."
"It's not that I have a plan, it's that the enemy has a plan." The cripple gritted his teeth: "Battle merits, it's not so easy to grab." ”
The first round of attacks was tragic and unusual, with arrows flying all over the sky, and heavy losses on both sides. However, the enemy army took advantage of the geographical advantage, picked up the boulder and threw it down the city, set fire to one of the ladders, overturned and fell to the ground, and the other ladder was also in danger.
When the first battalion lost more than half of its ranks, it finally set fire to the gates of the Great Dou Tu Valley, and the flames raged, and the soldiers continued to pour fuel on the fire and beat the gates with long poles and sledgehammers. The old gates groaned in the flames.
"Oki!"
Wang Zhu, commander of the 3rd Regiment, ordered the 2nd Battalion to start charging.
Among them, there were thirty strong men, who carried a large wooden stake about three zhang long with hemp rope, and there was a shield hand holding a shield beside him to block arrows for the strong man. The enemy archers spotted Okiki and fired a mad rocket that pierced into the shield, and the oil burst out, and the pine oil fell on Oki, igniting Oki, and the soldier was so anxious that he reached out and slapped the flames.
The pine oil fire was not extinguished, but the soldiers' hands were burning.
Chongmu came to the pass, and the arrows at the head of the city were like a rain of fire.
The fire oil splashed, and the flames gradually rose on the armor of the soldiers, and thirty warriors, like thirty burning men.
The huge punch wood began to burn.
"Rush!"
The soldiers were on fire and rushed to the burning gates along with the burning wood.
There was a loud bang, and the city gate collapsed.
At the moment when the city gate collapsed, hundreds of arrows flew out of the city gate hole.
The soldiers of the Liang Army, who bravely rushed to kill, fell to the ground in pieces, and the battle situation was unbearable.
Seeing that the city gate was smashed open, Wang Zhu, the commander of the capital, was in a state of blood, and personally led the third battalion and a hundred personal guards to rush to the city gate together.
Seeing this scene, Chen Mu let out a sigh of relief.
"Cripple, I thought you were going to have some kind of moth."
"It's not like I'm going out to be a moth."
"And what were you laughing at just now?"
The lame man pouted: "See for yourself." ”
Chen Mu turned his head.
On the west side of the Great Dou Bagu Pass, in the dense forest on the hillside, there were a hundred Tartar cavalry rushing out with murderous spirit, and the sand and dust raised by the horses' hooves rolled with the wind, like a giant beast that devoured people, and rushed directly to the back of the third regiment. Wang Zhu was taken by surprise, and the three hundred soldiers of the third battalion were knocked to the ground almost instantly, and the enemy's iron hooves trampled on the bodies of the Liang soldiers, and the scene was extremely bloody.
"For the time being, all the brigades will obey the order, and collectively rush me!" Bibi e-book bibixxs
The enemy's cavalry had no intention of fighting at all.
They found that this pass could not be defended, that is, they rushed out at the last moment, killed as many as they could, never fell in love with war, broke through the city gate, and walked away.
The enemy still had some remnants of infantry, which were caught by the angry soldiers of the "Temporary First Brigade" and beheaded to vent their anger. No matter how much you shout, you can't call them. As a result, not a single captive was caught, and all of them were thrown into the flames and burned to black coals.
The cripple was very dissatisfied with this, and wanted to kill people to deter military discipline.
"Oops..., my waist, quick, don't move me, my waist can't work."
Wang Zhu, the commander of the 3rd Regiment, was lucky to survive, and he was also riding a horse at that time, but he still could not escape the catastrophe, and was overturned by the surging enemy army, and his old waist was trampled by his own horse.
Horses are human, if it weren't for the fact that his own horse immediately loosened his strength after stepping on his master, and surrounded Wang Zhu to block other war horses, Wang Zhu might have become a martyr by now.
The 3rd Regiment of the 8th Division fought too badly.
For the success of this level, they paid an extremely painful price. According to post-war statistics, 530 people were killed, nearly 100 were seriously wounded, and countless were lightly wounded. Half of these casualties were caused by the charge of the enemy cavalry.
Of the three lieutenants of the 3rd Regiment, two of whom were killed in battle, including the lieutenant named Wu Deng.
For this reason, Wang Zhu was miserable.
Looking at Wang Zhu's embarrassed appearance, Chen Mu comforted him with sympathy.
Wang Zhu finally turned over, lay on the stretcher, held Chen Mu's hand and said, "I also want to thank Chen Xiao for helping us out of the siege at the critical moment." After the Hu people are beaten away, we will meet again in the future, and I will invite you to eat and drink to repay the great kindness. In addition, the military merits of this battle ......, I think it is better to give it to us, otherwise, I will not be able to explain it to the soldiers. ”
Chen Mu patted Wang Zhu's hand and said, "Brother Wang, don't worry, I won't rob you." ”
Wang Zhu smiled ashamedly: "The first credit belongs to us, but you also have merit, I will write it clearly in the credit book, and we will see you when the time comes." ”
"yes, we'll see you later."
After comforting the miserable Captain Wangdu, Chen Mu came to find the cripple with a displeased face.
"Cripple, you're ruthless. Hundreds of lives. ”
"Actually, they didn't lose much, if it were us, maybe it would be worse than them, we are all new recruits."
"Then why didn't you tell him in advance? Take precautions in advance, and you won't die so many people. ”
The cripple sighed: "If you tell him, can he still steal military merit from you?" ”
Chen Mu laughed angrily at the lameness.
You can't blame the cripple too much, why is the lame man, it's not for a temporary brigade. Chen Mu sighed and commanded the troops to clean up the battlefield.
At this time, the 3rd Regiment could no longer move forward, and some men had to be assigned to help the 3rd Regiment transport the wounded.
Continue to the west, under the afterglow of the setting sun, the figures of the soldiers are gradually moving away.
The majestic Dadou Tu Valley once again witnessed a magnificent scene in the world.
However, there are more than 1,000 of them, is this mission really meaningful?
Both Jiuquan and Zhangye were surrounded by enemy troops several times their size, and they carried grain over the mountains and mountains, how could they break through the encirclement and rush grain into the city in the future?
These questions lingered in Chen Mu's mind, and he tacitly chose to remain silent with the lame man.
The old general Dian Gong's worries are not unreasonable, and Tang Zhen's choice may just be a helpless move, and he can't give up in front of everyone.
Military orders are like mountains, military orders are like mountains, even if it is a task of nine deaths and a lifetime, we must go on without hesitation. And Chen Mu always boasted that the cripple would run away and pretend to be dead, which was never entirely derogatory.
"Cripple, Zhang Han, if our brigade is surrounded by three times the number of enemy troops, you say that the three of us work together, can we break out?"
"Hehe, as long as there are horses."
"I am willing to lead the troops to cut off the brigade school!"
The first is the latest.
