Chapter 429 Striving for Merit
(There is no more to code words, the South China Sea arbitration is about to be announced, all kinds of news are coming, and there is nothing surprising about the outbreak of war, resolutely defend the territorial integrity of the motherland.)
Even if war does not break out, the confrontation between China and the United States has entered a substantive stage, and many years later, the world will once again form a Cold War situation, and the outbreak of various conflicts, and even the third world war is possible.
But as a Chinese person, no matter what the outcome, we must first live as a Chinese, and we must not allow the tragedy of the Japanese invasion to repeat again, we must and have been ready to meet the arrival of war, are the Americans prepared for this? )
On this day in mid-March, after a series of changes, the battle of Jiexiu offensive and defensive battles changed dramatically.
The deafening shouts of killing began that morning and never stopped.
The soldiers gathered like ants, and the city walls were densely covered with soldiers who had ascended the city.
The car, which is the same height as the city wall, slowly but surely moves closer to the city wall.
A large crowd of soldiers pushed the thick crash cart under the city gate and slammed it hard.
Rows of archers, under the cover of shields, approached the walls and fired at the city.
What's even more terrifying is that the cannon was erected not far from the city wall, and the stone eggs stuck to the lit dead grass branches, with heavy smoke across the sky, and fell into the city of Jiexiu.
And the Tang soldiers in the city still tried their best to defend the city.
A support pole struggled to knock down the ladder that had taken up the city.
Spears stabbed out, stabbing enemy soldiers off the city walls.
A rain of arrows rose from the walls and fell below.
Buckets of hot oil were poured down, and there were always siege soldiers who were burned with their skin and flesh in tatters, let out terrible screams, and rolled down the ladder like dumplings.
At this time, the siege battle was truly unveiled, revealing its hideous and ugly face.
Life and blood are the cheapest things here, and even the most brave and brave people have to rely on luck if they want to survive in them.
At every turn, both sides are paying a terrible price.
But war is like this, using the most indifferent and cruel way to test people's fighting spirit and test people's tenacity.
This is not the place for a moral gentleman, because this is a killing field that shows the ugliest side of human nature, and no amount of grooming can hide the filth in it.
Once you will succeed, this is what you are talking about.
There was a slight deviation from what Li Po expected, it had been less than two hours since he attacked the city with all his might, and outside the eastern city, there was already thunderous cheers.
Yuwen Wok, Wei Chikai was the first to open the door to victory for the army.
Zhao Shixun led the soldiers to take the lead in the city, Zhao Shixun was dressed in several wounds, still shouting a fierce battle, killing more than a dozen people in a row at the head of the city, leading the crowd to gain a firm foothold on the city wall, and then the soldiers who climbed the city rushed up and retreated again and again to kill the Tang army.
As soon as the gap in the city is opened, no matter how many Tang troops there are, it will be useless.
Like a flock of sheep, the red-eyed Youzhou soldiers who were killed couldn't stand.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many of them, Jiang Baoyi under the city wall was desperately sending soldiers to the city wall to defend the city, otherwise, only this time, and the army of the two states would be able to take the city wall.
At this time, the corpses on the city wall were scattered, the blood spread, the two soldiers were entangled on the city wall, killing back and forth, from time to time someone screamed and fell to the ground, blood was sprayed everywhere, and the residual value of the broken arm flew indiscriminately, completely turning the head of Jiexiu Dongcheng into a meat grinding mode.
Dongcheng was slightly lost, Jiang Baoyi's lack of experience leaked out, in addition to the overseers fighting to the death and not retreating, the two generals in the army only hesitated a little under his strict orders, and they were killed by him who was crazy.
This is not a murderous authority at all, or a warlord, this is clearly a catharsis of fear and resentment.
His prestige in the army was already insufficient, and under his cozy attitude, the generals thought that this was a soft-hearted person, but when he was about to fight, he was so cold-blooded and crazy that the generals under his command saw it, and they were shocked, but they had no intention of fighting to the death for such a person.
Even at such a critical juncture, all the men in the army can't help but think, as the main general, if you can personally lead your troops to the city to fight the enemy to the death, it will not be a big deal for us to follow you to die in the city.
But why do you just tell us to die like a sheep?
The morale of the Tang army is already low, if Jiang Baoyi can handle it well, maybe he can hold it for a while, but if he says this word in the war, it is a joke.
At this moment, the Tang army's will to resist the enemy collapsed at once.
The so-called incompetence of one general exhausts the three armies, which is what he is talking about.
Of course, at this time, the smoke in the city was misty, the soldiers were coughing and running around in the thick smoke, the riot was spreading rapidly, and by the time the city wall of the eastern city was breached, the chaos of the Tang army had begun to gradually become uncontrollable.
And Jiang Baoyi's mistakes didn't stop there, in a panic, he immediately sent someone to the north of the city to ask Li Zhongwen for help.
He didn't care about the morale of the army at this moment, he just wanted more soldiers to drive the enemy army off the wall.
Of course, in a small town like Jiexiu, it doesn't matter if he makes a mistake or not.
Li Zhongwen already knew the news of the instability of Dongcheng at the first time, and then looked at the smoky city, at this time, if Li Zhongwen still didn't know the fact that this city was undefendable, then he didn't need to lead the troops.
He was different from the loyal Jiang Baoyi, he immediately summoned a few henchmen, secretly ordered them to prepare horses, and ordered his troops to guard the northern city, while he fled to the western city in the name of leading the army to aid the eastern city, opened the city gate, and escaped outside the city.
At this time, the heart of the Tang army was shaken, and the city was about to be destroyed.
The eastern city is crumbling, but the northern city is relatively stable.
But the siege army under Beicheng City did not agree, Yuwen Wok, Wei Chi and the two were already about to break through Dongcheng, Chen Yuan and others were in a hurry.
In a hurry, Chen Yuan ignored the dissuasion of everyone, led the big axe to the front of the battle, and summoned 500 soldiers to attack the city with him.
After Li Po got the news, he couldn't help but be furious, it is a good thing for the generals to compete for merit, but you, Chen Yuan, as the commander of the army, went into battle in person, where did you lead the army?
But this time, Chen Yuan showed Li Po what a fierce general is.
When the flag was moved forward, the siege departments thundered, and the offensive seemed to suddenly become fierce.
