1.52 Murder by the sword
In the moat in the south of the city, the corpses were clogged up and smelled fishy.
When the hot blood is agitated by cold water, it condenses into lumps. The entire surface of the river was like a huge piece of blood frozen. Bloody light.
As the last arrow splashed with blood fell, the battlefield suddenly fell silent. The Hu Zao cavalry is dead. The carcasses of men and horses were silted up under the city, blocking the river. The blood stained the banks of the river red, and it lasted for a long time. The smell is so bloody that it's like a bloody hell.
The three Xianbei adults subconsciously looked back. I saw that Xianbei Da Shan Yu had already stood up from the golden throne and was holding the red deer head staff in his hand high!
Cheer –
Thousands of elite riders dismounted. Grabbing a sword in one hand and a shield in one hand, he pounced on the city wall.
Except for the domineering bed crossbow, the city's bow and crossbow cannot shoot through the shield from a distance. Seeing that Xianbei dismounted and attacked, Huang Zhong, the lord of the urn city, died down and did not move. Until the enemy crossed the river with corpses, his body was unstable and showed his flaws. The archers at the head of the city took the opportunity to shoot and kill.
Wading across the river, he has reached the bottom of the city.
The rocks at the head of the city roared and fell. Even if you have a shield in your hand, it is difficult to be. The shield shatters the arm. Before he could fold his arms and wail, he was killed by an arrow. Rocks fell like rain at the head of the city, and the brains burst under the city. Xianbei is a horseback people, galloping vertically and horizontally, but not good at attacking cities. The siege weapons are even more ignorant. Wading across the river, he rushed to the gate of the urn. The purpose is to cut the slings first, and then break the city gates. Rush into the city and fight the Han army!
The chalk at the head of the city was sprinkled in the wind, and the dust was filled for a while. The Xianbei soldiers gathered at the city gate could not see, and their mouth and nose were in severe pain. They jumped into the river to wash. Helplessly, there were too many corpses and the river was dammed. There is not enough water flow. During the struggle, they were all shot by random arrows.
The city gate was filled with smoke and could not be approached. The nearby Xianbei soldiers piled up the corpses of their companions in a vain attempt to climb the wall. The city is full of stones. The Xianbei condor archers who shot at the head of the city were all shot to death by the shield crossbowmen. The crossbowmen dared to lean out and shoot from the battlements of the wall. It is with the cover of a patent leather shield on a crossbow. The Condor shoots from his back, and the door is wide open. The crossbowman poked his head out, but his shield covered it. Shoot high and down. At such a close distance, even if he was wearing armor, he was pierced by flying fly arrows. Died of exhaustion.
Throughout the ages, there has been a saying that is 'ten sieges and five attacks'.
"The Art of War" says: "Ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and to fight it if it is doubled."
Liu Bei defended the city with 5,000 elite soldiers, and if he wanted to attack the city, he needed to send several times the elite. And it is still assisted by siege weapons, and no casualties are recorded. Even so, it remains to be said whether it can be captured. Xianbei came on a light horse, and there was no siege weapon, so it was all up to human lives to pile up, when it could be filled.
It is said that Liu Bei entered Sichuan and left Huo Jun to guard Jia Meng. Liu Zhang led more than 10,000 people from Langshui to besiege Huo Jun. There were only a few hundred soldiers in the city, but Huo Jun held on for a year, and waited for an opportunity to break the enemy army and cut it to the head level.
It shows the difficulty of attacking the city.
Xianbei rose up with blood and bravery, and filled it with human life. The defenders at the head of the city are all tigers, how can they show weakness. Rolling wood and stone, chalk juice. Bombing in turns, killing countless enemies. Boiled horse manure urine, known as 'golden juice'. Not only can it burn the enemy, but the feces are dirty, and the wounds are rotten, which is difficult to heal.
Ask what it tastes like. Liu Bei didn't know at all!
Because of the wearing of a breathing mask in advance, the smell is filtered by the activated carbon packet.
A day of bloody battle. There are thousands of Xianbei pillow corpses, and there is no inch.
Seeing that the sun was turning westward, all units withdrew their troops one after another. Leave the dead after the break, and hold on to the shield. The sound of bows and crossbows suddenly stopped.
Up and down the city walls, only the seriously wounded and undead remained, wailing intermittently.
The dead who were lucky enough to survive, with their shields on their heads, huddled in the pile of corpses of their companions that were still warm, peeking at them.
There were only sporadic arrows at the head of the city, and there was no longer the terrifying sound of thousands of arrows fired before.
The Xianbei camp also found clues!
The three adults came together to ask for their lives, saying that they would fight at night.
Tanshi Huai shook his head and refused. It is said that today is a day of fierce fighting, and people are sleepy and tired. Wait for a full meal and rest to recharge your energy. Tomorrow's army will be able to break the city in one fell swoop.
The three lords then received the order and returned to the camp separately. He also ordered the men and horses of the headquarters to patrol around the city to prevent the Han army from dredging the river overnight.
Seeing Xianbei withdraw his troops, there were people shouting loudly all over the city. There was a thunderous burst of joy.
Liu Bei stood at the head of the city, but his brows were tightly locked. Naturally, there is still a surplus of arrows. When it was getting dark, the reason why he pretended to have no arrows was to show weakness and lure Xianbei to fight again tomorrow. To prevent the loss of the soldiers and the Xianbei of the day, the troops were withdrawn overnight. The outside of the fortress is so vast, if Xianbei makes up his mind to retreat, Liu Bei will not be able to catch up, and he will not be able to catch up.
It's just that......
Why is Xianbei, who is besieging the city in a bloody battle, more orderly and slowly advancing than the Han army defending the city?
With the Hero of the Sandalwood Acacia, he must know how important time is.
The three Xianbei and the three Han armies rushed to besiege the city. It is expected that enough troops will be left to involve the main force of the Han army. However, the longer the siege, the greater the chance that the three-way Han army would come. If the three roads are encircled, take advantage of Xianbei's full strength to attack the city, and attack from behind. How can you not be defeated!
Time should have been Xianbei's worst enemy. Why not rush?
The more Liu Bei thought about it, the more he felt that it didn't make sense.
There are quirks.
After the meal, Liu Bei paced back and forth around the barracks, pondering the reason. I heard someone say. When I looked up, I didn't realize that I had arrived outside the tent of the Da Yan clan.
The guards outside the tent are all Wulian female guards. Long and athletic. Good bow and crossbow fencing, ordinary men can not be the enemy. Liu Bei was surrounded by embroidered clothes with one as ten. It's a big camp again, and it's safe. Therefore, Wulian, who was inseparable in the past, is stepping up the reorganization of soldiers and horses, and did not follow this time.
Liu Bei thought about it, and asked the female guard to go in and report.
Soon, the Da Yan clan invited Liu Bei in.
Rao has met many times, and he is in prison, and his posture has not been reduced by half a point. The aesthetics of the Han Dynasty are different from those of later generations. Those whose faces are different from those of the Han are often hailed as being born with a different appearance. Born out of phase and multi-genius. That's it.
"Chu Chongtong" and "beautiful beard" all mean this. Therefore, the blonde with blue eyes and jade skin is naturally a first-class beauty.
Seeing that Liu Bei was preoccupied, he sat for a long time and was speechless. Da Yan held his breath and stared, and did not say a word. Suddenly, I heard the sound of the oil lamp exploding, and the light suddenly brightened. The beauty in front of the lamp is jade-colored glass, and the country is fragrant. Liu Bei couldn't help sighing: There is a way to be a beauty in the country. If the Da Yan clan is like this, how can Da Dan Yu be willing?
Seeing that Liu Bei had no other intention in his eyes, the Da Yan clan asked rhetorically: Since the young prince and marquis have already won the victory, where does the sorrow come from?
Liu Bei thought about it, and told the truth: Da Dan is unified in Xianbei, which can be called a generation of heroes. How can you not see the danger of this battle?
Da Yan didn't expect Liu Bei to be so straightforward, so he tried to ask: Where does the danger come from?
Liu Bei smiled slightly: What Xianbei relies on is a bow that comes and goes like the wind. but he is not good at besieging cities. The three-way Han army is marching in unison towards Baitan City. Liaoxi Taishou also led Wuhuan to ride, and it arrived at night. The east and west are attacked, how can the Xianbei army not be in danger?
Da Yan asked again: I heard that there is a shortage of arrows in the army?
Liu Bei shook his head calmly: There is no shortage. It is a trick to lure the enemy.
The Da Yan clan nodded slowly: Doesn't the young prince and marquis hear of 'borrowing a knife to kill', 'planning will be calculated'?
With lightning and flint, Liu Bei suddenly woke up: I see!
