Chapter 651: Winning the Defense
Lower Debate City.
City.
In the face of the attack outside the city, the people were in a loud voice, and one by one they closed their doors, and war always brought fear.
As the general of Zhang Ji's defense, Lei Xu's spirit has collapsed very tightly from the beginning to the present, such as the difficulty of the troops in the city, there are only more than 2,000 left, even if he has begun to organize the youth, but Zhang Ji has not been in the military capital for a long time, there is not much reputation, the people's support is insufficient, and it is difficult to gather.
Faced with the siege outside the city, he had already gone into battle himself.
After several battles, it is fortunately, in fact, there are not many soldiers and horses besieging the city, but the fight is fierce, and in the end, in contrast, the enemy army outside the city is only a few thousand, if so, he can still hold the city.
Xiabi City is the capital of Wudu, and it can be regarded as a city with high walls and thick walls, and it cannot be broken without five times the number of troops.
The attack outside the city was indeed fierce, but both the attack range and the siege equipment were obviously insufficient, which gave him a chance to hold the city.
But he was still worried.
After all, the soldiers and horses outside the city are from Hanzhong, Hanzhong is in Wudu, but it is only a river away, how many herdsmen are in Hanzhong, he still has some numbers in his heart, the herdsmen are treacherous and fierce, since they have attacked Wudu, they will not stop there, and how many soldiers and horses are behind him, even he himself does not know.
I'm afraid, it's just the vanguard.
If the continuous army of Hanzhong begins to enter, I am afraid that the city of Xia Bian will not be able to hold it.
"Tan Min!"
Standing on the city wall to direct the battle, Lei Xu suddenly let out a low shout and called out a name.
"Captain!" The county ordered Tan Min to come out.
"How many young men can be recruited in the city now?" Lei Xu's eyes were very burning when he looked at him, at this time everything was mainly to keep the next argument, he had to take precautions, if the enemy was reinforcing the army, he needed reinforcements.
"Most of the young and strong people in the city are in the hands of those gentry!"
Tan Min smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Taishou rectified the Wudu last time, with an iron fist, but he offended them all, and now I want them to support us, I'm afraid it's very difficult, and there are not enough troops to suppress it, and the city is even more unstable!"
"These bastards!"
Lei Xu is a soldier, as one of the deputy generals of the Northland Army under Zhang Ji, he has always only been in charge of marching and fighting, he rarely pays attention to these things, but now he is scratching his head a little.
But even so, he still needs to recruit some young people, Zhang Ji handed over the defense to him, he can't lose the defense, this is the foundation of the Northland Army.
"Feng Jin!"
"Captain!" Feng Jin walked out and stood by.
"You go and help Tan Min recruit some young people, if anyone stops them, kill them!" Lei Xu was ruthless, but he was not a person who didn't know the situation: "It's just that you need to be careful when you act, and you must not cause chaos in the city!" ”
"No!"
Feng Jin still has some roots in Wudu County, and he has a good relationship with some of the gentry of the world.
The recruitment of young and strong people cannot be accomplished overnight.
At this time, the pressure on the city wall was getting bigger and bigger, and in the face of the crazy slaughter of the soldiers under the city, Lei Xu broke out angrily, and personally led the army to block the front line, and the battle became more and more intense.
……
In the middle of the city, on the north side, in the back hills.
The next argument is a mountain city, the city is built around the mountain, especially in the north, connecting the eastern foot of Qishan Mountain, the rolling slopes are very majestic, and even the city wall does not need to be built, there is a momentum as stable as Mount Tai.
And it was this natural barrier that gave the Battle Tiger Battalion a chance.
The War Tiger Battalion is a mountain battalion, the tiger roars in the mountains and forests, only the battle goes, this is the spirit of the War Tiger Battalion, every soldier is the elite of the elite in the army, and the matter of climbing the mountain with bare hands is difficult compared to others, but in the War Tiger Battalion, there are many internal warriors, enough to deal with it.
Thunder Tiger was the first to climb up.
Beyond this steep hill, the mountain was flat, and there were many trees on the left and right, which just covered their tracks, which did not expose them in the first place after climbing.
After steady, the next soldiers began to climb up one by one.
Natural danger is always natural danger, and the place that can shelter the north side of the defense line is not so easy to get by, and among the twenty soldiers who climbed at the beginning, there was still some chaos, and they did not grasp it, and two fell to death.
Two more rolled down, and although they grabbed some rattan and saved their lives, they were also wounded and lost their combat effectiveness.
The soldiers who had not been left left climbed up.
It was a good start, and after paying the price, it was the harvest that ropes tied the trees and began to stretch down the cliffs, and with these ropes, the soldiers began to move quickly.
In less than two hours, all the soldiers had climbed up.
The dangerous cliff still made the 1,000 soldiers of the Zhanhu Battalion suffer a lot, and the loss of more than 30 soldiers was more than 10 zhang high, which was an abyss that could devour life.
That is, the Battle Tiger Battalion dared to do this, changed the second army, and would never dare to climb up like this.
"Count the number of people and get ready for action!"
Lei Hu didn't have much time to grieve and be angry, losing soldiers on the battlefield was already a norm, and he had to learn to adapt, so he quickly began to rectify.
"Report to the captain, the soldiers who climbed up, a total of 963 people, we lost 38 people, and under the cliff, 12 people were injured!" A military marquis reported.
"Now start the detachment!"
Lei Hu took a deep breath, and he spread out the map: "We want to divide the troops into three ways, after the signal is issued, I will personally lead five hundred soldiers and horses to attack the city wall from the inside, and the inside should be combined with the outside, and break through the next debate, Lei Su, you lead two hundred soldiers to attack the arsenal, and the location of the arsenal is here!" ”
"Yes!"
Junhou Lei Su nodded.
"Chen Nan!"
"In!"
"You lead the remaining soldiers to attack the Taishou Mansion, the Taishou Mansion is the control center of the Wudu, all the officials here must be controlled as soon as possible, and there must be no chaos!"
"Yes!"
"Let's get moving!"
At the sound of an order, nearly a thousand soldiers began to divide into three queues, heading downhill, down this hillside, is the inner city, this is the benefit of crossing the natural danger, straight into the abdomen.
Before they could act, a sharp arrow, breaking through the air, shot into the sky, making a screeching sound.
That's the signal.
……
Out of town!
Mu Jing raised his head, looked at the faintly visible signal arrow, and trembled: "Thunder Tiger has succeeded!" ”
He suddenly became excited: "Give me armor, I want to go into battle myself!" ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Ning, the commander of the Divine Guard Army, personally put on armor for Mu Jing, and Mu Jing appeared on the battlefield with a war horse under his crotch, holding a dragon lance in his hand, and wearing a light gray battle armor.
"Sons, break this battle, at this moment, no need to reserve, attack with all your might!"
Mu Jing brought morale to the battlefield, but it was not a little bit.
The sons began to erupt.
"Kill!"
"Rush forward!"
"The lord is looking at us, and the sons and daughters are rushing me!"
One by one, they shouted, and their blood was boiling into battle.
"They're crazy!"
The defenders in the city suddenly doubled the pressure.
Lei Xu looked into the distance: "He is a Mulong map!" ”
I really didn't expect that Mu Longtu would come in person, which surprised him.
Boom Boom Boom !!!!
And at this moment, a roaring sound broke out from the inside out, the city gate was shaking, and the jacks were moving, which made Xiliang's generals look at each other.
"What's the matter, go check the gates!"
"Report!"
A soldier came bloody: "The city gate is lost, there is an attack from the city, we are caught off guard, three hundred soldiers, all killed!" ”
"What?"
Lei Xu shook for a moment, and his face suddenly turned pale and weak.
Rumble!
There was a shock, and the gate of the city was opened, and the gate was pulled up by a rope, and the herdsmen rushed in like a flood of water.
