Volume 1 The East China Sea Dilemma Chapter 67 Capture the Thunder Alive
"Heart-attacking?" Jiang Shenyu shook her head, as a woman, she didn't know anything about marching and fighting, and she hadn't read the military book.
"Break the courage first, and attack the heart." Xu Xiang read a sentence she had never heard before, and looking at her still confused look, Xu Xiang had no choice but to explain again: "Hancheng has been heavily surrounded by us, and there is a huge disparity in the combat strength of the enemy and us, and it is not difficult for us to capture Hancheng. ”
"However, how many soldiers do you think we will lose when we capture Hancheng?"
"How many soldiers?" Jiang Shenyu didn't think about this problem, after all, the two armies she knew were fighting, and there would definitely be casualties on both sides, but she still guessed: "The city of Hancheng is not too strong, the defenders in the city are less than two thousand, if we want to capture Hancheng, there may be about four or five hundred casualties." If Hakojo resists strongly, it may be even more. ”
Xu Xiang smiled slightly and said, "The soldiers who are asking for help in Hancheng can't get out now, and they can't defeat us. How do you feel about them at this time? ”
"That must be in a hurry!"
"Therefore, we besiege and not attack, just to make them more anxious."
"Not only do they have to worry about when we will attack, but also how we will treat them after the city is broken, so they don't have the heart to defend against the enemy. The more time passes, the more anxious they feel and the weaker their resistance becomes. At that time, Hakagi can be taken with minimal casualties. Xu Xiang talked eloquently, he has always been a modern person, and he still can't accept that hundreds of people will die at every turn in a war, after all, it is a living human life!
Jiang Shenyu's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Then we will surround them for a few days, and then maybe we will be able to take Hancheng without a single soldier?" ”
"That's not going to work either!" Xu Xiang shook his head and denied her statement, "We don't have so much time to spend with them at all, and the grain and grass captured by annihilating Yu Mao are not much, only enough for the soldiers to have a day's rations." We still have to take Hancheng and replenish grain and grass. If we don't attack for a long time, what if the people defending the city are diehard loyalists of Nangong Sui and give him time to think of the grain and grass, when we attack, seeing that we can't defend the city, he burns all the grain and grass in Hancheng with a fire? So, don't give him time to think about that. ”
"Oh!" Jiang Shenyu showed a look of sudden realization, and looked at Xu Xiang's eyes full of admiration.
"Someone's coming!" Xu Xiang has always been concerned about the situation at the north gate of Hancheng.
The north gate opened, and out came a middle-aged man wearing silver chain mail and riding a white horse, holding a spear in his hand, followed by almost fifty horsemen.
After the people walked out of the city gate, the north gate was quickly closed.
The white horse general is Thunder, and after Jiang Minghe told him about the situation at the North City Gate, he ordered him to draw water for help.
The fifty soldiers who followed the thunder were all very loyal subordinates, and after listening to Jiang Minghe's description of Xu Xiang's team of 100 people, he couldn't figure out what the fire-breathing weapon was.
With his cautious character, he did not break through directly at the moment, but still stood under the city gate, watching Xu Xiang's army.
The two sides were now more than 150 paces apart, and the range of the musket was only about 100 paces, and Xu Xiang did not give the order to shoot.
"Xia Wenxi, you take ten brothers to test it." Thunder said to a senior beside him.
"Yes! Checkmate! A teenager in his twenties next to him responded.
"Be careful! The opponent has a strange weapon in his hand, if it doesn't work, quickly withdraw it! He instructed again.
Xia Wenxi hit the horse and walked forward cautiously.
"One hundred and thirty steps!"
"One hundred steps!"
"Eighty steps! My lord, the enemy is within range, do you shoot? The musket team behind Xu Xiang asked.
"What shots? Put it all down for me! Xu Xiang waved his hand and motioned for them to put down their muskets.
Just now, more than 100 of them shot at more than a dozen people, killing them instantly! This was the first time the musketeers had fought in real combat, and the power of the muskets was beyond their imagination. Therefore, when Hancheng came again, they were all eager to try it, and they took advantage of the heat to come again.
But Xu Xiang didn't think so, the other party only sent ten people, which was obviously a tentative move.
He still thought about eating all fifty people, how could he let them shoot and scare people away?
"What about the twenty Yulin Guards? Go, get the man alive! ”
This time, Xu Xiang brought a hundred musket teams, plus twenty Yu Linwei with good skills, and this time he planned to let Yu Linwei take down the ten people who rushed over. He felt that the status of the general riding a white horse in Hancheng should not be low, and if he could be captured alive, it would definitely be helpful to attack Hancheng.
If he used the musket team, he was afraid that the white horse general would turn around and go back to the city.
Yu Linwei set off to meet the ten people brought by Xia Wenxi.
The difference in the number of people on both sides was doubled, and Yu Linwei's combat effectiveness was also stronger than them, so the other ten soldiers, including Xia Wenxi, were all captured alive and escorted to Xu Xiang.
Xia Wenxi was tied up by five flowers and forcibly knelt in front of Xu Xiang, Xu Xiang squatted down and asked with a smile: "Who is that white horse general?" ”
was easily captured by Yu Linwei, Xia Wenxi was very frustrated and bowed his head and remained silent.
"Don't speak?" Xu Xiang was not in a hurry, he looked at the white horse general still standing in place, with no signs of breaking through at all. So he said, "Well, when you come to the front of the battle, bring the white horse general over, and I will let you live, how about it?" ”
"Phew!" Hearing that Xu Xiang wanted him to lure the thunder over, he had an angry look on his face, "If you want to kill, kill!" Even if you die, I won't help you lure the general over. ”
Xu Xiang was slightly surprised, he didn't expect this little soldier to be so loyal to his own general.
He got up, walked to the front of the formation, and shouted loudly to the white horse general: "The general opposite, your men have been captured by me, don't you plan to come and save him?" ”
Xia Wenxi struggled for a while, but the two Yu Lin Wei didn't hold him down, and he ran to the front of the formation.
He shouted: "General! This road is not working! Get back to town quickly! ”
"You shouted!" Immediately, Yu Linwei's soldiers reacted, kicked him to the ground, and kicked him several times.
Xu Xiang waved his hand, "Don't fight, let him shout!" ”
Thunder was also entangled at this time, and Xia Wenxi was caught in an instant, which shows the strength of the opponent.
He originally planned to let Xia Wenxi test it first and figure out what the fire-breathing weapon was, so that he could make a plan to break through.
But he didn't expect that the mysterious weapon was not used on the other side at all, but Xia Wenxi was still captured, and there were only forty people left under his hands.
He regarded these fifty loyal subordinates as brothers, and now that Xia Wenxi was arrested, he wanted to rescue him very much, but now the other party made him dare not act rashly.
Before he saw the power of the mysterious weapon with his own eyes, he didn't dare to gamble with the lives of his brothers. The bodies of the ten people who went to fetch water and ask for help are still in the vicinity of the place!
"Wait here, and if I am invincible, or if you die, return to the city quickly!" Thunder finally made up his mind to go and meet the mysterious weapon for a while.
"No, General! It's dangerous for you to go alone! Let's go together, shall we? ”
"Yes, General! Your strength alone is small, it is better for your brothers to resist in front for you, escorting you to break through to draw water for help! ”
The other soldiers around him objected to him going alone.
"Thunder! What are you still rubbing? Hancheng is in danger, why don't you break out quickly and ask for help from Jidu? Wu Boyi, who was on the city wall, shouted impatiently.
Lei Ting didn't pay attention to Wu Boyi on the city wall, but said to a young general beside him: "You don't need to say more, I am already the fifth day after tomorrow, and ordinary hidden weapons can't hurt me!" You are waiting here! ”
After speaking, he carried a spear, rode a white horse, and rushed towards Xu Xiang.
Xu Xiang squinted his eyes slightly, knowing that this white horse general was a master, he loaded the bullet, and then said to Yang Dianfeng behind him: "Old Yang, you go to meet him for a while, and I will press the formation for you!" ”
Yang Dianfeng took the order, rode a horse with a big knife, and greeted him.
"Come and get your name!" Thunder saw that a person suddenly appeared in the military formation, and shouted loudly.
Yang Dianfeng didn't reply to his words, but just raised his big knife and slashed towards the thunder. Thunder dodged the knife by one side, and then stabbed Yang Dianfeng in the heart with the spear in his hand.
Yang Dianfeng abandoned the big knife in his hand and sandwiched his spear in his armpit, and the two grabbed the gun on the horse, arguing.
Only a crisp sound was heard, the spear broke, and the two men each held half a knot, and fought each other.
Lei Ting has been in the army for many years, and his realm is also higher than Yang Dianfeng, so he found the right position and stabbed Yang Dianfeng's horse neck where the tip of the gun was broken.
Yang Dianfeng's horse was stabbed, struggled and rolled, and actually threw Yang Dianfeng into the air, and Thunder took advantage of the momentum to kick him in the chest with a sideways leg, and the latter fell to the ground hard.
Thunder wanted to take advantage of the victory to attack, but when Xu Xiang saw this, he directly pulled the trigger, and with a loud bang, the bullet hit the thunder.
Hearing a loud bang, Thunder knew that the other party's mysterious weapon had appeared, and he instinctively jumped back, trying to dodge.
However, it was as if he had been hit by something, causing him to sting, lose his center of gravity in an instant, and fall to the ground.
When he looked at the place where he had been hit, his thigh was already bleeding!
Several long knives were placed around his neck, and Yu Linwei took the opportunity to subdue him.
"General!" When Thunder's soldiers saw that he had been captured, they were so nervous that they rushed up to rescue him.
"Don't come here! Escape back to the city! Thunder shouted.
The soldiers reined in the ropes of their horses and had to turn around and walk towards Hancheng.
"Bang! Boom! "As soon as they reached the city gate, dozens of long arrows fell from the city walls, forcing them to retreat.
"Whoever dares to approach the city will be killed by arrows! The mission you are waiting for is to go to Kidu to move the soldiers! Before the help arrives, you are not allowed to enter the city! Wu Boyi, who was on the city wall, warned coldly.
"Wu Boyi! You let my brother into the city! When Thunder saw that his soldiers were being driven away, he was furious for a while, and shouted at the city wall.
"Humph! You're going to move the rescuers! We haven't gone far yet, and we're going to run back?"
"The enemy is too strong! Even if we forcibly break through, we will only be sent to death in vain! ”
"Then let them die!"
"You!! ......“
