Chapter 80: Attack
The general Lun monk flickered, probably too attentively, he believed it himself, his face was emotional, his face seemed to be full of Zen, but the movement of twisting the Buddha beads in his hand unconsciously accelerated a lot.
Li Shouzhen's psychological state at this time is obviously not very normal, and the guilt of Zonglun is also true, but listening to his words of relief, the folds on his face have dissipated a lot.
"As the master said, the destiny of heaven is lonely, and when you come to this trial, you are not strong-willed, and if you have a slight setback, you will hesitate...."Li Shouzhen controlled her emotions, regained her calm, and muttered.
Looking like that, it seems that he believes Zonglun's words again, but it's more like he is just looking for comfort from Zonglun.
"Command all armies to be vigilant and strictly guard against surprise attacks by the Han army. The generals and colonels of the army strictly restrain the soldiers. Tell Wang Jixun that if there are any abnormal moves, you can cut it first and then play! Taking a deep breath, Li Shouzhen commanded coldly.
Wang Jixun since the rebellion, the battle is quite hard, although in the battle against the official army, the same defeat and victory less, but with its bravery, plus that rare small victory, the more trusted by Li Shouzhen, was appointed as an inspector, inspector Pucheng.
Hearing the order, Sun Yuan and Liu Rui's two subordinates glanced at each other, and they both felt that Li Shouzhen had not returned to his usual "heroism". After a little hesitation, Sun Yuan couldn't help but suggest: "King, the Han army is besieging the city, and the people in the city are panicked and the army is in turmoil. Do you send money and food to the government treasury to reward the soldiers and boost morale? ”
After thinking about it for a while, Li Shouzhen waved his hand: "You take the Lone warrant, handle it accordingly, and tell the sergeants that if you follow Lone, you will be able to break the Han Army!" ”
There were a few people present who believed this, but I don't know how many people believed it, and how many people believed it.
When Zong Lun stepped out of the mansion, he exhaled heavily, and his body couldn't help but tremble, without the image of a monk on weekdays. The cold wind was agitated, the back of the heart was cold, and before I knew it, my back was already wet. Li Shouzhen in the hall obviously scared him.
Looking back at the still magnificent mansion, a trace of color flashed in his eyes that had lost his "Buddha spirit".
"Mage." The novice, who was waiting outside the hall, stepped forward nervously and called out humbly.
"Go back to the monk's hall and tell me to go down, I want to retreat and pray for the blessing of the king and the soldiers!" Zonglun was solemn and walked away quickly.
However, I secretly thought to myself that I had to find a way to get out and protect myself. At the same time, the mood is inevitably disappointed, at the beginning and Li Shouzhen hit it off, it took so much effort, and finally helped him successfully raise the army, this glorious reputation has not been earned, it has fallen apart, and the worry of his life is in front of him......
Why did the Great Han Dynasty react so quickly and violently, could it be because the emperor was too young?
In the hall, Li Shouzhen left his son Li Shouzhen alone, pressed his shoulder, and solemnly ordered: "Chongxun, I will hand over the 1,500 tooth soldiers in the palace to you to command." Since then, the situation is unpredictable, if something is wrong, take someone to escort the family to break through. The Han army is only heavily surrounded in the east and south, and to the north, there may be a way to survive, but you have to rely on yourself to break ......"
Listening to Li Shouzhen's heartfelt words, Li Chongxun was stunned, looked at his father, and said suspiciously: "Father, you ......."
"Humph! Does Zong Lun really think that Lone is so easy to deceive, just tacitly. It's all come to this point, the situation is critical, how can you not see it! Li Shouzhen said lightly, the corners of her mouth curled up with a sneering arc.
"And what about my father?" Li Chongxun nodded abruptly and asked urgently.
"Don't worry about Lonely!" Li Shouzhen's hand waved, revealing a stubborn low face again.
didn't explain anything to Li Chongxun, forcefully drove him out of the hall, and then slightly leaned on the burly body, dragged heavy steps, stepped behind the case, solemnly adjusted his robe, and sat firmly on his throne as King Qin.
......
In the early morning of the next day, before the dense fog had dissipated, the officers and men of the two large battalions in the east and south of the army filled their stomachs early, and then moved in an orderly manner, and the soldiers with combat missions entered their respective roles and positions under the command of the commanders of the various armies, and prepared to launch an attack.
Although the sight was not very clear under the fog, the actions of tens of thousands of people and weapons could not be concealed at all, and the dull movement had already aroused the vigilance of the rebels in the east and south of the city.
When the sun rises and the fog clears, the situation under the city is revealed. More than 50,000 officers and troops on both sides were neatly distributed within the wall, and it was a completely orderly scene.
In the past, the construction of the Walled City had made a lot of camouflage facilities, but now it has been completely demolished and completely replaced.
And the hundreds of stone throwers arranged according to the walled city also revealed their true faces. Dozens of three-bow bed crossbows neatly placed in the front line, also ripped off the sackcloth covered by the cover, the arrows were thick and long, and the spears flashed with a sharp cold light, which was a sharp weapon that could pierce through the city wall, and shot at the city, and people could step on it.
The atmosphere was serious and tense, seeing the scene under the city, the guards in the city looked at each other, and they all saw fear in their eyes, and there were many voices of swallowing saliva. When he heard the news, he scolded and came to the city, and when he saw this scene, his face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but lose his voice.
In the south camp, a temporary viewing platform was set up, nine feet high, at a safe distance. At this time, Liu Chengyou took the stage to watch the battle under the escort of the inner guards.
Died condescendingly, the situation of the two armies in Pucheng was in full view, especially the strength of the official army, which brought people a kind of excitement that made people's hearts spontaneous.
Zhao Yanjin stood beside him with his sword, although he had been in the army for a long time, but this kind of opportunity to see the overall situation was the first time he had encountered it, and he had never found that the prosperity of the Han army was so fascinating. couldn't help but carefully glance at Liu Chengyou, who was calm and calmly drinking tea, and Zhao Yanjin seemed to be sincere with a respectful look on his face......
"Attack with the herald!" Liu Chengyou didn't care about Zhao Dianzhi's subtle psychological changes, his cold gaze swept towards the "short" rebel city, and said coldly.
Under the order, the flag-holding generals and colonels who were placed on the viewing platform immediately waved the flag to give orders, and all of a sudden, the orders were passed in order, and the entire official army siege array moved. The drums of war beat and the cries rang out.
With a burst of neat shouts, the first to start were the stone throwers. Twenty pounds of stone bullets, pulled by the soldiers, suddenly launched towards the city, with fierce and unrivaled momentum, smashed into the wall. The specially trained wrestlers move neatly and smoothly without any sense of sluggishness.
From slow to urgent, from sparse to dense, gradually become a scale. Soon, up and down Hedong City, in addition to the undulating shouting and shouting sounds, there were patches of stone bullets hitting the city, "bang", "bang", one hit after another, the dull sound of the impact of the people's hearts, and the screams and wails of the rebels.
The stone throwing machine drawn by manpower does not have high requirements for the accuracy of the launch, and the siege of the city only needs to be thrown to the city. When it comes to lethality, the threat of stone bullets is actually limited, but it is full of deterrence, especially under intensive strikes.
Just looking at the stones flying at high speed is enough to make people feel afraid, and there are many guards in the city, and there are always unlucky eggs who are hit and turned into minced meat in an instant. Such bloody scenes were a more direct blow to the morale of the rebels. The quality of the Pu army in the city is not strong, and many of them are temporarily recruited for training.
As a result, above Pucheng, there are evasions, screams, howls, and chaos......
When the attack was launched in the southern city, the eastern side of the city, under the command of Bai Wenke, also made similar actions. Under the smashing of the stone bullet, the entire Pucheng almost trembled!
