Chapter 62: Closing the Net
At the city gate, the Western Wei soldiers with bright armor were slowly pacing forward with spears, and were looking forward to attacking Fennan City with great ambition, and the marquis was not a problem, but at this moment, a huge iron gate suddenly fell above the city gate, and the Western Wei soldiers in the city gate had time to react, even if there were soldiers among them who saw the fall of the iron gate above, but the dense soldiers could not dodge at all, so they were directly hit by the falling iron gate, the iron gate was huge, although it was called a jack gate, but the weight was definitely not only a thousand pounds, Such a large iron gate, it is not an exaggeration to claim 10,000 catties, and it is from a high level, the force of the impact can be imagined, and the person who was hit was directly violently hit into a meat patty.
The violent fall of the iron gate cut the Western Wei army into two sections, one part remained in the city, and the other part was isolated outside the city and could not break the iron gate, and the soldiers at the city gate were obviously unable to live, this violent blow, the soldiers were directly scared stupid, especially the soldiers close to the iron gate, were frightened silly by the short screams, and when they saw the blood flowing out of the gap, like a blood spring, they directly became crazy, shouting and throwing down their weapons and squatting on the ground and shrinking into a ball, forgetting that this was on the battlefield where the two armies were fighting......
Even the Eastern Wei army was stunned by the sound of the falling iron gate and the heart-rending shouts, and some soldiers on both sides who were fighting involuntarily stopped fighting and turned their heads to look at the city gate, obviously before they could react, big questions filled their minds.
In fact, it can't be blamed for the poor endurance of the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty, many of the soldiers who sieged the city were veterans who had been in the army for many years, and obviously everyone did not expect that the enemy army would be used to defend the jack gate. This kind of weight is not so easy to lay out successfully, otherwise every city and every gate as long as the jack gate is hung up, everything will be fine? What other cities will you attack? This thing is not so easy to be able to put it successfully, this is still with the help of the terrain of Fennan City built on the mountain, just the jack gate can be transported up with an iron cable, and rely on the hillside to set off the jack gate, there will be no iron cable breakage.
Gao Yang obviously also saw this scene, and knew that Duan Shao's side had already begun to act, so he smiled happily: "Qianjin Gate, so that the enemy army that has just attacked the city will become a turtle in the urn, and I will say that we will not die here." β
Murong Shi looked at the distance blankly, and after a while, he came back to his senses, swallowed his saliva and said, "I didn't expect the general to be so clever and able to predict it!" He looked at Gao Yang's smiling face, and thought to himself, could it be that the general had already known that there would be such a plan? But if there is one, it will not be left to death, charging on the front line, and accidentally dying on the battlefield, isn't it worth the loss?
Thinking of this, Murong Shisu felt that he was becoming more and more unfamiliar with this lord, and he was becoming more and more mysterious, he suddenly remembered that his Aya had talked to himself about Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, when he was a child, and he couldn't help but think of the king that Aya often mentioned was the destiny of heaven, and the lord was "as cunning as Wei Wu, and used soldiers as if Sun Wu", is this the king of the destiny of heaven?
Gao Yang smiled and said to everyone: "Warriors, there is nothing for us to do here, clean up the battlefield and leave it to the brothers of the rest of the legions, and wait for the city tower to guard the pass!" β
On the platform, Duan Shao looked at the battle at the city gate lightly, anyone can see who will die in the end of this war, and then it is just a matter of time, I saw him spit out lightly: "Don't leave prisoners, stay in Beijing!" β
This fluttering sentence stunned the people around him, everyone was stunned, looked at each other, as if they had heard it wrong, even Li Mu next to him was also in his heart after hearing it, his mouth opened and wanted to say something, but finally stopped, in fact, this jack gate was a plan he proposed, Li Mu has guarded Fennan for many years, of course he understands the topography of this city, so before the Eastern Wei army attacked Fennan, he made a jack gate, but he didn't expect it to be used on the Eastern Wei army. was defeated by Duan Shao's plan to flood Fennan, and finally became a prisoner, and then Gao Huan promised the high-ranking official Lilu and the promise to protect the interests of the Li family in Yanchi, Hexi, and sought the support of the Li family in the military and political affairs of Longyou. And the Li family insisted that eggs could not be put in one basket, and finally decided to bet on both sides and agreed to Gao Huan's conditions, which led to Li Mu's surrender, after all, for these families, nothing is more important than the prosperity and inheritance of the family.
Duan Shao didn't look at everyone, but as if he knew what everyone thought, he smiled and explained: "We don't have so many troops and food and grass to waste on the enemy's prisoners, whether it is to kill and deter the enemy, kill the chickens and monkeys, if the enemy army continues to attack the city against us, it will end like this......
The generals did not say anything against it, they are all veterans who have survived a hundred battles, and the sense of justice does not exist in their hearts, although the killing of prisoners is a bit disgraceful, but if they can obtain benefits, then they will kill all of them, just like Duan Shuai said, "Killing chickens and monkeys", well...... That's it!
Having just taken over the guard force of the city tower, Gao Yang looked at Wang Gou'er with interest, nodded with a smile: "This general just saw clearly below, advanced and retreated in a certain degree, and was well versed in the art of war, but he was a malleable talent, why did you have a military position in the army?" β
Wang Gou'er looked at this young man with a smile on his face, but his whole body was full of murderous aura, this person was the son of King Gao, the great general Gao Yang, looking at the blood stains on the armor of the great general in front of him, holding a sharp saber in his hand, he hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted: "The small one is the general, and the small one is now an ordinary soldier in the army." β
Gao Yang calmly accepted this kneeling, otherwise it was estimated that Wang Gou'er would be uneasy in his heart, and waved his hand and said: "Get up, it's still a war period, don't be polite!" β
Glancing around with his eyes, the city tower at this time was full of dead corpses and broken corpses, as well as various stones and arrows everywhere, which showed how dangerous the previous battlefield was, "Your merits, this lecture will inevitably report to Duan Shuai, brothers have worked hard, and now the danger has not been lifted, everyone continues to garrison their posts to prevent the enemy from continuing to attack the city!" β
At the moment when the jack gate fell, Yu Wentai's eyes shrank, and he knew that the ominous premonition in his heart had become a fact, I had expected a variety of conspiracies and tricks before, but I didn't expect that the enemy would suddenly use such a strategy as the jack gate, marching for many years, this is also the first time I have seen such a scheme, I can't help but feel angry in my heart, and ordered loudly: "Order to continue throwing stones, order the siege troops to increase their offensive efforts, break through this city, and allow you to wait for three days to loot the city before sealing the swordββ"
