Chapter 158: Night Surprise Attack
In the city of Shanzhou in autumn, the autumn wind is still howling, the sun is shining, and in the Shanzhou Mansion with carved beams and paintings, the officers of Dafan are sitting on the left and right.
Xiruo Zanzhuo sat in the hall and saw that everyone looked nervous, so he smiled and said: "You don't have to be nervous, as long as you can let the Han army withdraw this time, your merits will be remembered by the marshal." ”
Gar clasped his fists and said: "We are willing to follow the marshal to the death!" ”
Immediately after that, everyone in the hall stood up and said in unison: "We swear to follow the marshal to the death!" ”
"Good! Sit down! After seeing that everyone was sitting down, Xiruozan Zhuo began to speak, "The reason why everyone has been gathered so early today is because of one thing. Everyone also knows that the Han army's offensive yesterday was fierce, but the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and there was no intention of seizing the city. ”
After a moment of silence in the hall, someone suddenly replied: "Marshal, I think they just covet the strong defense of Shanzhou, and they don't dare to fight immediately, their soldiers and horses are only 100,000, and our army, since the retreat of the army of the Qita country, there are still 100,000 people left, plus the group of ringing horses recruited by Fengji Mountain, it is also nearly 10,000, so our advantage is much more obvious than theirs, how easy it is for them to take the city!" ”
Xiruzanzhuo nodded yes, "That makes sense, but now we also have a problem, that is, whether to defend or attack!" I wonder what the generals think? ”
Gar class understood, at this time the marshal estimated that the most hesitant is this problem, take the initiative to attack, but the two sides are evenly matched, and the morale of the Han army is strong, and they want to avenge the capture of the city, if they fight hard, it seems that they will not have much advantage, but if they passively defend the city, it is estimated that the marshal is afraid that the Han army will play some conspiracy. Gar raised his head and observed the marshal's face.
Hirozandro also saw the strange look in the eyes of the Gar, so he asked, "Gar, do you have any good advice?" ”
"I don't dare to suggest, I will only say my opinion!"
"Hmmm! Tell me about it! ”
"The last general thinks that if we take the initiative to attack and attack the city, I am afraid that we will lose our advantage. When the two sides are evenly matched, you must know that their morale is higher than ours, and if they blindly attack, they may ......" Gar did not say any more, but respectfully bowed his hand.
Xiruo Zanzhuo didn't say anything, "So, are you advocating defending the city?" ”
Gar shook his head, "The last general thinks that the morale of the other party is high in the past two days, we might as well lie dormant in the city for a few days, defend the city according to the danger, and wait for a period of time after they can't attack for a long time, the morale will naturally wear out, and the cost of attacking the city is far higher than the cost of defending the city, and when the time comes, we will counterattack, wouldn't it be better?" ”
Xiruo Zanzhuo still didn't speak, looked at the generals present in the hall, and asked, "Do the other generals have any opinions?" Seeing that everyone was silent, he gave up, "Then get here first, Gar, you go and arrange the personnel to be deployed today, in case the Han army attacks the city again." ”
On the tower of Shanzhou City in the evening, the afterglow of the sunset is reflected, and the sunset on the horizon gradually disappears into the dark night. It was already dark, and Gar was still standing on the city tower staring into the distance, at this time the world in the distance was already dark, and there was no trace of light, as if there was only one Shanzhou city standing between the heaven and the earth. Although it was already night, and the weather was getting colder, the gar was sweating profusely on his forehead, and he didn't know if it was because he was afraid or nervous. He wondered in his heart, why didn't he see any movement from the other party after a day? Could it be that the siege yesterday was too tired, and the whole army rested for a day?
"General!" A soldier interrupted Gar's train of thought, "Hurry back to your home for dinner!" ”
Gar turned around and glanced at the soldier, and then turned back and walked out of the dark city, tonight the moon is dark and the wind is high, will the Han army come to take the opportunity to sneak attack?
The soldier saw his concern, "The general doesn't have to worry, and we are there!" It's so late, the Han army shouldn't be attacking the city! Why don't you go for dinner first......"
Gar nodded, and was about to turn around and walk away, when he looked back at the night and muttered, "The moon is dark and the wind is high tonight, is it ......?" ”
"This ......," the soldier hesitated.
"Go!"
"Yes!"
It was already two o'clock in the evening, and there was hardly any movement on the castle tower except for the sound of the cold wind whistling.
The Gar was still wandering in the tower, hesitating whether to go back and rest, or to continue the vigil. Just as he was thinking about asking his subordinates to call other generals to come over and take over, his subordinates suddenly ran into the building and said, "Tell the general, our people have found that there seems to be movement outside the city!" ”
"Are you sure?" Gar asked in surprise.
"Not sure!"
Gar hesitated for a moment, and continued to ask, "Have you sent someone to check?" ”
"I've sent someone out of the city to check, but I haven't come back yet!"
Gar said, "When did you go?" ”
"It's been two quarters of an hour!"
"It's been two quarters of an hour and you haven't come back......" Gal muttered, and suddenly his eyes flashed, and he shouted, "No, the enemy will attack the city at night!" With that, he rushed out of the city.
At this time, the castle tower was still pitch black, but from time to time a few crows could be heard, and the gars squinted and searched around to see if there was anything suspicious, but after looking for a long time, they didn't find anything wrong. Gar hurriedly shouted at the soldiers defending the city: "Everyone cheer up, the enemy may come to attack tonight, if anyone slacks off, beware of their own heads......"
The voice fell, and countless torches suddenly flashed in the distance, and then the drums rang out in unison, and the sound of killing shook the sky, sure enough, in the blur, but saw the banner of the Han army flickering in the firelight, it seems that the Han army is about to start attacking the city again.
Gar was so anxious that he shouted: "The Han army is coming, the whole army is ready to ......" and then shouted at the entourage behind him, "Go and inform the marshal and the generals!" ”
In an instant, the Han army has attacked the city with overwhelming momentum, the ladder is erected to the wall, the collision car has also rushed to the city gate, and the boulder thrown by the overhead stone throwing machine has also rumbled at the head of the city. The army of the Great Fan on this side also coped with it freely, and the iron thistles and rolling wood and stones that had been prepared long ago were thrown from a high place, and the Han army besieging the city fell in response.
Xiruo Zanzhuo led the generals to the city in a hurry, and just when he arrived, he heard the Han army Mingjin withdraw his troops. After seeing this, Xiruo Zanzhuo gritted his teeth and said, "Damn the Han thief! Then he asked the Gar behind him, "How is Fang Cai?" ”
