Chapter 20: Zhao Xing's Revenge on His Father, Yuanguang Saves the Badger Sun (2)
To put it mildly, the talent of the generals of the koji ball is really first-class, Pu Badger Sun, Pu Luogu, Gou Xiong, etc. are all famous generals in Pu Qin, but looking at their previous battles with the koji ball, they have not been able to get a little bit of cheap on the koji ball, that is, Meng Lang personally went out to fight, and the reason why Xiangwu was broken was not because the koji ball was inferior to it, but because its troops were far inferior to Meng Lang.
However, there is such an outstanding ability to use troops, limited to the lack of strength in Dingxi, in the face of Puqin's troops, Koji Qiu can only be on the defensive again and again, first guarding the Longxi military camp, then guarding Xiangwu County, and now guarding Yinping County.
For a talented and ambitious person like Koji Qiu, he is forced to defend again and again, and even three guards, and he must not happily fight with Pu Qin and win a decisive victory in the wilderness, which is indeed a very aggrieved thing, but it is precisely because he has the experience of guarding the Longxi military camp and Xiangwu County, this time guarding Yuyinping County, it can be said that he is very familiar with it and very handy.
Zhao Xing and Wu Luokui's troops attacked in a hurry for two days, losing troops and losing three or four hundred casualties, and failed to get one step closer to the city.
Wu Luokui ignored the sharp attrition of the Tiefu Hun warriors in his headquarters, and patted his chest and enthusiastically asked Pu Badger Sun to fight, asking to continue to use his and Zhao Xing's troops to consume the soldiers in the city, only to annoy Zhao Xing, eager to kill him with a knife, but he didn't dare to show his emotions, he could only drop blood in his heart, smile on his face, and agree with it.
Fortunately, Pu Badger Sun did not have so much time to waste, but he did not accept Wu Luokui's invitation, as arranged before the war, only used the Tiefu Xiongnu to attack the city for two days, and tried out the combat power of the soldiers and the general reality of the city, so he gave an order, and ordered the Tonghuliang Department in the west of the city, and the headquarters in the north of the city, and Zhao Xing and Wu Luokui in the east of the city to launch a formal attack on Yinping City on the third day.
Attacking on three sides, the city and the city are like rain.
Koji Qiu personally guarded the north of the city, Beigong Yue guarded the west of the city, Wang Shuwang guarded the east of the city, and still used Bing Bo to lead 200 soldiers as a reserve, where there was a critical situation, he rushed to the rescue. He also appointed the magistrate of Yinping County to be responsible for the security and logistical supply of the city.
Several people had a clear division of labor, united and cooperated, and withstood the onslaught of the Qin army for several days.
Compared with the koji ball guarding Xiangwu County, the number of guards in Yinping County at this time was about the same as at that time, and the Pu Badger Sun Department was not as large as the Qin army at that time,—— this is still after adding the rebellion in Yinping County, Pu Badger Sun Department is currently less than 20,000 people, it is said that Yinping County should be easier to defend than Xiangwu County, but compared to Xiangwu County, Yinping County has a serious shortcoming, that is, the city is not as tall and strong as Xiangwu County, after all, Yinping County is mountainous, there are few people, so the county seat is small and short.
Defending the city mainly depends on the city wall, and if the city wall is not high enough or strong enough, it will naturally be quite difficult to defend it.
The Qin soldiers besieged to the seventh day, the north gate of the city was broken by the Qin army, Qu Nanhu and Qu Nan saw that the father and son resisted desperately, and the koji ball also went into battle in person, fighting fiercely from the afternoon to the evening, and only then did the Qin soldiers who broke into the urn city retreat. After nightfall, the Qin soldiers paused their offensive. Kojiqiu seized the time, organized the people, soldiers, demolished the houses in the county, and blocked the broken city gate with bricks and sand.
Beigong Yue came from the west of the city and handed a roll of paper to Kojiqiu.
Koji Qiu opened it to see, and saw that it was a letter of persuasion, which roughly read: Jun and other lonely cities are besieged, there are no reinforcements outside, and the city is broken sooner or later. General Koji and General Beigong are also the heroes of Longdi, and those who know the times are Junjie, why not sacrifice the city to surrender? The king of Great Qin admires the two monarchs very much, if he is willing to surrender to me, he will give the worship of the marquis, and he will not hesitate to reward him.
Koji ball has always been the first soldier, not only when the battle is fought, but also when the city gate is blocked, he also moved the bricks and mud by himself, making him dirty, his face is also dusty, and the sweat flows out of the traces of the road, like a flower cat. Koji Qiu wiped his sweat, looked up and asked Beigong Yue, and said, "Where did you come from?" ”
Beigong Yue, like Koji Qiu, Wang Shuwang, and Bing Bo, has not been down the city wall for seven consecutive days, not only his face is also dirty, his armor is full of blood stains, and the blood is mixed with the smell of sweat, and the smell makes people can't smell it closely.
Only the koji ball has the same smell on the body, and the abalone has been unbridled for a long time, and I don't feel its smell, and no one can smell anyone's fishy smell between the two.
Seven days of fierce battles, non-stop orders, and the shouts when he personally killed the enemy, Beigong Yue's voice became very hoarse, and he said in a hoarse voice: "The soldiers picked up the shot from the city to the head of the city, and presented it to the team rate, and the team rate was handed over to me." ”
In order to prevent the guards from being tempted by the enemy to cause low morale, the will to defend the city is not strong, so when defending the city, the soldiers are strictly ordered not to look at anything shot from under the city privately, and if they are picked up, they must be handed over immediately.
"Is this the only one?"
Beigong Yue said: "There are more than a dozen letters, the content is the same, and I burned the rest." ”
Koji Qiu and Beigong Yue are not very familiar with each other, and said in his heart: "General Beigong is a Qiang person, and he can be regarded as the same clan as Qin Yu, what does he mean by giving me this letter of persuasion outside the city today?" Is it to show that there is no intention of surrender, or is it to test my heart? ”
He smiled and said, "As long as the city is dedicated, we will be given a marquis, and the counties and counties of Qindi will be chosen by you and me, this condition is really generous." However, in this book, it is said that I am alone and helpless, but this is a good statement. General, the two of us are trapped in the lonely city, and in the seventh day of the day, the north gate of the city has been breached, and I am afraid that this city will really not be able to hold it. What does the general think of Qin Bing's book? ”
Beigong Yue said angrily: "Although the more Qiang Hu, the more loyal he is!" The general of the conquest is in charge of Yin Ping, and the more he should defend this royal land for the conquest! After the general broke through from Xiangwu with a noble body, he did not return to Longzhou, but went south to our county, was he willing to go to danger, and the more he had the responsibility to defend the land? Yue Jin and the general defended this city together, if they could repel the Qin soldiers, of course, it would be the best; If the city is broken, the more dare to die in the city with the general! ”
"To conquer and defend this royal land", this sentence is obviously a sick sentence.
Xin Er is not a king, where did he come from to guard the "king's land" for him? It should be said that "for the king, keep this king's land".
But Koji Qiu didn't care about Beigong Yue's sick sentence, he was happy when he heard this, patted Beigong Yue's shoulder hard, took his hand affectionately, and said, "What kind of noble body am I?" A veteran! If you want to talk about dignity, the general's family background is Qianghao, which is noble. If the general is so loyal, how dare the ball fall behind? Defend the city with the general! ”
He paused and said with a smile, "But, General, 'Death in the City' Yunyun, I see, your wish will not come true." ”
Beigong Yue asked, "What does the general mean by this?" ”
Koji Qiu said: "Yinping County is related to the safety of Hanzhong and cannot be lost; The general is a beloved general of the conquest, and he is also indispensable. I don't think the general will sit idly by and watch me fall and the general die, and reinforcements may be coming soon! Instead of the two of us dying in the city, why not wait for the reinforcements to arrive and defeat Pu Badger Sun, and you and I will receive the great merit of defending the city together? ”
Although Beigong Yue has already planned to die with the city and die in battle, everyone loves life, and it would be better if he could not die.
After listening to Kojiqiu's words, Beigong Yue's fighting spirit became more and more high, and he said, "Okay! Then Yue will share this great achievement with the general! ”
After a heart-to-heart exchange, the two of them knew each other's determination to stick to it.
Although they had known each other for a short time, Koji Qiu and Beigong Yue suddenly looked like friends for many years, their eyes were facing each other, and they were all laughing.
Koji Qiu said: "General, the north gate was broken by Qin Yu today, and tomorrow, Qin Yu's offensive will definitely be more fierce." I have a plan to curb Qin Yu's arrogance for the time being. ”
Beigong Yue said: "Dare to ask the general, what is the policy?" ”
Koji Qiu said: "When Qin Yu sees that my north gate is broken, he must think that the time to break the city is just around the corner, so he will definitely despise me." Tonight, let's dig a few holes in the north city wall overnight, and wait for the Qin Lu to attack the city tomorrow, then we will go out of the hole with elite soldiers and attack its besieging troops. If I am in a hurry and unprepared, I will win. As long as this battle is won, won't Qin Yu's arrogance be defeated? ”
Beigong Yue was overjoyed and said, "The general is so sincere! Please lead the troops out of the city tomorrow! ”
Koji Qiu smiled: "Just a little prisoner, why do you need a general? ”
He looked behind him, pointed to Qu Nanhu and Qu Nan Jianri, and said, "Before I guarded the Longxi military camp, I led the soldiers to pass through the tunnel to the back of the Qin Capture Formation, and the general knew who it was?" It's Qu Nanhu! The battle of going out of the city tomorrow is enough. ”
Qu Nanhu led the dead soldiers through the tunnel, to the rear of the Qin army, fell into the battle of the flag, and defeated the Qin army, which had long been spread throughout the Dingxi army.
Beigong Yue also admired Qu Nanhu's bravery, and when he heard that Koji Qiu was ready to use him as the main general out of the city, he no longer insisted on fighting in person, and said: "Qu Nan's captain is brave and fierce, the more he is better." Since the general wants to take Qu Nan Lieutenant as the general, then Yue will cheer for the captain in Xichengtou when he arrives! ”
This was decided.
That night, Koji Qiu commanded Minfu to quietly dig four holes in the western section of the northern city wall, each hole can accommodate one person, and after digging, seal it with bricks and stones to avoid being seen by the Qin army; A hundred warriors were selected from among the guards, and the cattle were killed and boiled for the night, and they were given a full meal, and they had a good night's rest.
The next day, as expected by Kojiqiu, the Qin soldiers really attacked the city in a big way.
Pu Badger Sun felt that there was hope of breaking the city, so he pressed all the soldiers and horses, and ordered Zhao Xing and Tonghuliang on the east and west sides to attack, in order to contain the defenders in the city, and the north city wall that was broken by the north gate was still selected as the main direction of attack, and a total of 4,000 foot soldiers were used to attack the north city wall, and they were lined up into four phalanxes to prepare for the second rotation to attack the north city wall.
The siege battle began with Tatsuki.
At noon, the first round of Qin soldiers withdrew and replaced the Qin soldiers of the second phalanx.
Pu Badger Sun stood under the banner not far south of the moat, and observed the situation of the soldiers on the north city wall intently, and he found that the resistance of the soldiers was becoming more and more weak, and the progress of the siege of the Qin soldiers in the second round was much faster than that of the first round of Qin soldiers.
Although these two groups of soldiers did not complete the city for a long time, this situation still greatly encouraged Pu Badger Sun.
While signaling to the drummers and standard-bearers, and ordering the soldiers under the city to increase the offensive posture, he smiled and said to the generals and subordinates on the left and right: "The Liming Sect is claimed to be able to defend again, but the county seat of Yinping is low, and there is no sufficient barrier for him, and the casualties of the guards in the city must be far more than when he defended the county seat of Xiangwu. If you want to come early, it will be today, and if it is late, tomorrow, our army will be able to take this Yinping County! ”
Pu Badger Sun's use of troops is a more conservative one among Pu Qin's generals, and even he has such confidence, and the other generals, not to mention, all of them deeply agree with Pu Badgersun's words.
Some people were even in the mood to joke, and said: "The king is in Xianyang City, and has prepared a mansion for the Koji Mingzong, and I heard that the furniture and utensils for this house are all very luxurious, and the king has also prepared dozens of beautiful maids for the Koji Mingzong." Yesterday's letter of persuasion to surrender has been sent to the city so far, and there has been no response from Koji Mingzong, and it seems that he does not intend to surrender. Ming Gong laid down Yinping County, it is really a great achievement, the mansion and beautiful maid in Xianyang City prepared for him in this district, I can't say, in the end, it still belongs to Ming Gong! ”
It was a hobby of Pu Mao to set up a house for famous enemies in Xianyang City and wait for them to surrender or be captured.
Zhao Yanli and Yao Tao had such treatment before they surrendered to Qin,—— Yao Tao's house was originally prepared for Yao Guo, Yao Guo died in battle, and after Yao Tao surrendered, it was transferred to him.
This time, Pu Mao personally conquered the Wei State, and he had already given Murong Wutai, who was guarding Luoyang, Murong Yan, who was the new successor to the throne of Wei, and Murong Zhan, who was fighting against He Hun in Yanzhou, and also bought houses for him.
Pu Badger Sun is Pu Mao's cousin, what glory and wealth have not been enjoyed? A mansion and dozens of beautiful maids are not in his eyes.
He smiled, "I don't need this house." How, do you want either? If you want, when you have conquered Yinping County, and then go to Pingwu County, as long as you can make more contributions, I will go to the king and give you the mansion and the beautiful maid! ”
The general was overjoyed and said, "Thank you Ming Gong!" ”
The main garrisons of Yinping County are all in Yinping County, Pingwu County is equivalent to an empty city, and it can be taken without attacking.
Fang was chatting and laughing, and suddenly heard the sound of drums in the city.
Pu Badger Sun turned his eyes to look at it, and saw that on the head of the city, under the high hanging sun, in the background of the blue sky, a general with red armor, standing at the battlement, was waving a mallet and beating the drum, on the west side of the north wall, out of nowhere came out of nowhere a hundred and ten soldiers of the armor, all holding short blades, accompanied by the sound of drums, bravely killed the Qin soldiers under the city.
