Chapter 869: Opportunity for Meritorious
After listening to the scout's report, the potter immediately looked at the generals around him and asked, "Generals, in your opinion, how should we fight this battle now?" ”
He Qi stood up and said: "According to the opinion of the last general, Pang Tong uses the terrain as a barrier, but the terrain can also be used by us, at the moment we can divide the troops into three ways, one way to contain the enemy in the front, and the other two roads of soldiers and horses can be through the waterways on the north and south sides, detour to climb the city, three ways to attack, after entering the city, the enemy can be cut off, and its main force will be annihilated in one fell swoop." ”
The potter thought about it, and had some worries about He Qi's proposal, after all, although the odds of winning were high in this arrangement, the probability of failure was also high, and it depended on whether he dared to gamble.
The potter was not a person who did not dare to take risks, he thought about it, and felt that by doing so, the current gamble was that the enemy's troops were insufficient, and Zhang Fei was injured, if he could quickly ascend the city from the north and south, he could crush the morale of the Jingzhou army, so that the Jingzhou army fell into chaos and became the end of the crossbow.
Thinking about this, the potter finally nodded and said, "In this way, it will be done according to General He's wishes." You and Xu Sheng each led a group of men and horses, and acted separately, attacking the north and south gates from the north and south waterways, and Gan Ning and Zhou Tai led most of the troops and horses to fight the enemy in the front. ”
"No!"
Subsequently, the ministries went their separate ways.
……
At the same time, Pang Tong was in the city to inspect the military affairs of various departments, when he suddenly heard the sound of drums in the distance.
At this time, he felt very tired, and he had not slept for two days in a row.
Since Liu Du and Liu Pan were dispatched, Pang Tong felt bad, so he hurriedly led his men and horses to rush to the head of Dongcheng City.
Under the city, the Jinling soldiers all over the mountains were organizing the siege of the city, and the voices of people outside the city were loud.
"Rush, kill, whoever obtains the head of Pang Tong, no matter who it is, will be rewarded with a thousand gold."
"Kill Pang Tong, kill Pang Tong, kill Pang Tong!"
Pang Tong glanced back and forth at the Jinling army under the city wall and stormed the city, and snorted coldly: "They really dare to come and rob the camp?" I really don't know whether to live or die, the generals listen to the order, guard the city, rely on the offensive, and block the Jinling army outside the city! ”
"No!"
The generals led by Huo Jun and Fu Tong responded one after another, but they were muttering in their hearts.
If it is replaced by a big city like Xiangyang or Jiangling, there is no problem with your surname Pang talking like this, but Qianling City is a small county, the city is low and the walls are thin, although it has done repaired fortifications, but it is not complete, and the odds of winning against the enemy army with such a city are not high.
But it has come to this, and no matter whether the odds are high or not, this battle must be fought.
Under the command of Huo Jun, the Jingzhou army began to desperately shoot the Jinling army below with bows and arrows at the head of the city.
But the Jinling army also did not show weakness to resist, the city of Qianling City is low, and there is no need to climb the city in close combat, even if you stand on the city, shoot up with a bow and crossbow, you can also kill the enemy on the city, the two armies shot each other for a while, each has casualties, the city wall has been dyed red by the blood of the soldiers on both sides, mixed with the breeze, there is a pungent smell of blood.
At the same time, the two lines of soldiers and horses of He Qi and Xu Sheng began to attack the north and south cities through the waterway.
The cities of the north and south cities are also very low, and you only need to use a flying rope to climb up, but because they are on the water, the mobility is very low, so it is easy to become a live target for the defenders of the city.
"Ahh
"Ahh
With a scream, the soldiers around Xu Sheng were hit by arrows one after another and fell into the water, and the already small warship was instantly a little panicked, which also made Xu Sheng himself fall into the heavy encirclement of feather arrows.
But Xu Sheng was not afraid at all, he shook the rope, buckled the battlements at the head of the city, held the knife in his mouth, jumped to the city wall, and then quickly climbed up.
After a short time, I saw Xu Sheng quickly climb to the top of the city with arrows, quickly slashing the Jingzhou soldiers with a knife, and setting off a bloody storm on the city.
Encouraged by Xu Sheng, the fighting spirit of the Jinling army in the south of the city also became stronger, and everyone followed Xu Sheng's example and climbed towards the city regardless of life and death.
The south of Qianling City became precarious for a while.
……
At present, Zhang Fei was injured in the abdomen and was still lying in the mansion to rest, but he could really feel the turmoil outside.
Listening to the footsteps outside becoming more and more chaotic, Zhang Fei's heart was a little bottomless, he hurriedly supported himself, came to the house, greeted his own soldiers, and said, "What happened?" ”
Zhang Fei was so prestigious on weekdays, that little pawn naturally didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly reported the cause and effect to him.
When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately became anxious, and he instructed the guard: "Hurry up and put on my armor!" ”
When the guard heard this, he was immediately startled: "Armor? General Zhang, what are you going to do? ”
Zhang Fei's injuries had not healed, and he was still very serious at the moment, he shook his teeth and said, "Go and help the battle!" ”
The guard was taken aback when he heard this: "General, but your serious injuries have not healed!" ”
"Don't say more, hurry up and do what I say!"
……
At the same time, another army led by He Qi and Ding Feng also climbed the tower from the river at the north gate, and a group of military horses went straight to the city to kill.
Ma Zhong, the general of Jinling, led the vanguard troops and went straight to the palace in the city, intending to occupy the center and cut off the enemy army at the east gate from the enemy army in the city.
But it was at this time that Zhang Fei came out of the mansion and rode his black horse to the front to help.
In this way, he happened to meet Ma Zhong who came over.
When Ma Zhong met Zhang Fei, he was immediately at a loss.
But Zhang Fei's eyes widened suddenly, and he said with a smile: "Okay, it turned out to be you dog thief!" My old Zhang Zhengchou can't find you, you actually sent it to the door by yourself today, shot me in the lower abdomen, and I still have unbearable pain, if I don't kill you today, I can't live with this wound on my abdomen! ”
Ma Zhong looked at the vicious Zhang Fei, and couldn't help but sway: "You, you recognize the wrong person!" ”
"Phew! I recognize you when you turn to ashes! After saying that, I saw Zhang Fei suddenly clamp the horse's belly and go straight to Ma Zhong to kill him.
"Ahh~~!" Zhang Fei's momentum was not something that Ma Zhong could withstand, he didn't even have the courage to fight Zhang Fei, turned the horse's head, and galloped directly behind.
The officers and men of the three armies couldn't help but be stunned.
This person who came to seize the county government just now, when he met Zhang Fei, he didn't even dare to fight, so he ran away directly?
That's a little too frustrating, isn't it?
But Ma Zhong is the main general, and the soldiers who followed him naturally respected him, and when he ran away, the soldiers could only follow him.
Just when everyone was in doubt, they saw that Xu Sheng's soldiers and horses had already gathered, and congratulated Qi's soldiers and horses and rushed to the field and responded to Ma Zhong.
Ding Feng followed behind He Qi, and when he saw Zhang Fei, his eyes suddenly lit up.
When Xu Sheng saw Zhang Fei fighting, he roared in a low voice and said, "Generals, today is the time for you to perform and make great contributions...... Here it comes! ”
