Chapter 3 Attack on Yangzhou
Suzhou, which is very close to Yangzhou City, is lit up in the city at this time, and the lake water shrouded in moonlight reflects the stars on both sides of the river, revealing a bright light. With a bit of mood and a bit of drunken breeze, the night is melted into elegant words, which are portrayed in the flowing time.
At this moment, the generals in the Suzhou City General's Mansion gathered in the conference hall and waited for the arrival of the third prince, Chu Yi.
"The last general will see His Royal Highness the Third Prince!" When the generals of Suzhou City saw Gang Chuyi stepping into the door, they knelt down together.
"Your Highness, I heard that Yangzhou's city defense map has arrived, when will the city be attacked?!" The main general, Zhuo Wen, is also straight, and asked about it directly.
Chu Yi smiled: "General Zhuo, don't be in a hurry. The whole army can be ordered to increase training and make a posture to deter Yangzhou, which should be a preparation for the siege of the city. Three days later, send troops to Suzhou to take Yangzhou! Give me another elite soldier, and I'll be of good use! ”。
"There is a Yangzhou city defense map obtained by His Royal Highness, and the attack on Yangzhou is just around the corner." The young general on the side hurriedly patted his ass.
"Huh! This map of the city defense is fake. Chu Yi shook his head.
"Ahh Your Highness. This... How did you find out? The main general Zhuo Ning looked puzzled.
"It's so easy to get hold of something so important. Even if I lost it, the Yangzhou general was never in a hurry, and I deliberately stayed in Yangzhou City for a while, but it was very quiet. ”
"Isn't that useless." Zhuo Ning sighed.
"Huh. Generals don't have to be like this. Let's do a trick. When the time comes, you will lead a large army to storm the weak points marked on the false city defense map, and then let people sneak attack!"
"Just follow orders!" Zhuo Ning clenched his fists.
Four days later, outside the city of Yangzhou.
The sky was cloudy, and it looked like a heavy rain was coming. If you take a closer look, this is the black smoke emitted by the soldiers of the Northern Wei army who were encamped in the distance burying pots and making rice, covering the sky and the sun.
Hundreds of thousands of troops stretched for thousands of miles, with flags all over the sky and many sentry posts. Yangzhou City Lord General Su Ping stood at the head of the wall and looked at the majestic Northern Wei army in the distance, and couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart: "A group of rats really won the scheme."
At noon, the horn of war officially sounded.
The war drums on both sides were thunderous.
Zhuo Ning, the general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, looked at the majestic and tall Yangzhou City with the city wall. Drunk: "Soldiers, today is the time for us to make contributions and conquer the world!" My great men of Great Wei should be punished for betraying my dynasty. Bright flag! Phalanx out! ”
"Roar!" The soldiers with long ges in their hands and square shields began to move forward in unison.
Looking at the multiple square formations of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Su Ping, the chief general of Yangzhou, ordered: "Prepare the archers, pull the strings full, and release!" ”
The flag was waved.
The Southern Wei army fired thousands of arrows and nailed the arrows a hundred meters away.
Wait for the Northern Wei phalanx to enter the range of the Southern Wei. Cheng Zhi, the deputy general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, calmly ordered: "Archers prepare!" Put. Infantry Shield! Forward".
The sky was full of two armies going back and forth, and the dense flying arrows seemed to cut through the sky, making people feel dizzy.
The ground was littered with corpses in a matter of moments, but the war had just begun.
Looking at the Yangzhou city tower where the Northern Wei army was getting closer and closer.
Zhuo Ning, the commander of the Northern Wei Dynasty, seized the opportunity and ordered: "Strong crossbow out!" Seven cannons! ”
The standard-bearers in the Northern Wei army performed their duties and waved their flags.
"Twelve stones" strong crossbow is to use the winch to open the bow, there are seven tracks for firing bows and arrows on the crossbow arm, there is a huge arrow in the center, seven arrows are shot together to Yangzhou City, after the arrow is inserted into the city wall, the soldiers will take advantage of this to climb and attack the city.
And the seven-tip cannon instantly threw stone bullets and smashed them into the Yangzhou city tower.
Looking at the whistling stones, Su Ping, the lord of Yangzhou, calmly ordered: "Pull up the wooden curtain!" ”。 The wooden curtain was used to protect the soldiers and prevent the destruction of the female walls and towers at the head of the city.
"Humph! Wishful thinking about capturing Yangzhou City! Su Ping drank coldly: "Catapult and three-bow bed crossbow!" ”
The Southern Wei defenders began a counterattack.
The Northern Wei soldiers below the city were attacked by the strong crossbows and boulders of the Southern Wei Dynasty, and suffered countless casualties.
"Damn!" Seeing that the other party had already taken precautions, Zhuo Ning was furious.
6 to 9 meters away from the Yangzhou city wall, a high sheep and horse wall has already been cast, and there is a ditch behind the sheep and horse wall.
If you want to overcome these obstacles, you will be exposed to the rain of arrows for at least a long time. Not long after the war began, the Northern Wei suffered thousands of casualties.
"Attack me, attack hard! A reward of 100 gold for killing the enemy general! Fill in the walls and ditches for me! Zhuo Ning said angrily.
The soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty were like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and they were not afraid of life and death, and they fell one by one under the rain of arrows and boulders.
Finally, the Northern Wei army attacked the city tower, and this was the most cruel time of the war.
The soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty set up the ladders one after another on the city wall and began to climb quickly. The erected carts began to destroy the city walls and gates with the force of the collision. After the siege tower gradually approached the city wall, after getting closer, put down the plank, and the Northern Wei soldiers began to board the city tower and fight each other with the Southern Wei soldiers, swords and blood shadows.
"Lift the ladder with a fork and let go! Chop off their hands with a grappling gun! Su Ping, the chief general of Yangzhou, calmly commanded the army defending the city: "Yu Ping, go!" Take people to destroy the siege tower".
"The last general commands!"
Most of the siege equipment of the Northern Wei Dynasty was destroyed by the death squad led by Yu Ping.
The war lasted more than four hours.
The sunset was red, dyed with the blood on the earth. The downstairs of Yangzhou City was littered with corpses and shattered. Flocks of crows fell on the branches and crowed hoarsely. Siege towers that have not yet been extinguished are still burning.
Inside the camp of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
"Damn! Tens of thousands of people were lost. The main general, Zhuo Ning, slapped the table angrily and gritted his teeth.
"General Zhuoning! Don't hold back when you're angry, it's not good for your health. Go! Let every soldier bring water and go to the city of Yangzhou to scold them and scold them. ”
"Huh!! Your Highness, the last general is a Sven person, and he never does anything insulting to Sven. Zhuo Ning showed disdain.
Chu Yi glanced at Zhuo Ning and began to draw the sword at his waist to prepare to cut people. Seeing this, Zhuo Ning hurriedly said, "The last general is going to take his brothers to scold his mother!" “
Yangzhou City Tower
"General, you see?" The young general next to him reminded the main general Su Ping. Su Ping looked at it with a puzzled expression. Not long after the retreat from the battle, the siege began? Don't wait for a night attack at night? Although he was full of puzzlement, Su Ping still ordered: "All arms for war."
Seeing that the Northern Wei army stopped far away from the firing range, and then drank water one after another. Su Ping looked confused, what is this going on?! Want to flood Yangzhou City? That's all there is to it!!
Suddenly, I heard a shout floating from the opposite side: "Su Ping, you and your brother were born in the same year, month and day, why do I belong to a dragon and you belong to a turtle." Wang Ba's shell was hard and panicked. Turtle shrinking Yangzhou City seems to be very short for you! ”
"Wow!!" Su Ping was furious when he heard this.
Immediately afterwards, a sentence floated in: "Su Ping, his ability is mediocre, and his chest is also flat." Everywhere is flat, the whole family is up to you! ”
"Shameless, indecent. Hooligans, I'm going to sue the officials and arrest you in this way! Su Pingqi's face flushed. I can't wait to cut the other side with a thousand knives, and I have vented the hatred and humiliation in my heart. Yang Zhiping knew that the other side was tempting him to go out of the city to face the battle, so he simply pressed his temper and went down to the city tower to listen to these foul words.
"Pay attention to their movements, and report any situation immediately," he said and went home.
Su Ping just returned home, looking at his wife looking at him with a flushed face, Su Ping looked puzzled, and was about to ask, but saw his wife peeking under him. Immediately anger rose, and he snorted and left. Tens of thousands of people are scolding, I'm afraid the entire Yangzhou city has heard it. At this time, Su Ruoxi looked at her chest with a resentful face, not small at all, and she was talking nonsense outside!
Chu Yi, who was drinking tea in the camp, squirted out the tea after hearing it: "Sure enough, it is a Sven person, and scolding people has connotations."
"Bring me a bowl of water! I'm dying of thirst! As soon as Zhuo Ning entered the tent, he poured water into it. Then he looked at Chu Yi and asked, "Your Highness, when are you going to scold?" ”
"Tomorrow morning"
"Huh?。。。。。。 Well, okay, I'll go and change a group of people to continue scolding."
In the general's palace in Yangzhou City
"That husband, there seem to be a lot of people talking about you outside, and the voice is quite loud. Are you okay! Madame looked at Su Ping, who had a pork liver on his face, and asked worriedly.
"It's fine. Just plug your ears on! ”
At this time, it floated again, "Su Ping, when will you and your subordinates hold a wedding?!" With so many men, can you bear it? ”
After Su Ping heard this, he threw the teacup on the ground angrily. "Lao Tzu, it's very powerful."
After speaking, he realized that he had made a mistake, and looked at his wife in surprise. Su Ping coughed lightly, "Madame, rest early, wait for the husband to clean them up"!
Su Ping walked up to the city tower and looked coldly at the Northern Wei army in the distance. The young general next to him stepped forward angrily and asked for his life: "General, let's go out of the city and kill them without leaving a piece of armor!" ”
"No, they're cheating." Su Ping said in a deep voice.
"That... How did that tarnish my reputation... No, no, no. I mean, it's not good to tarnish your prestige, General. Looking at a cold light from his main general, the young general immediately changed his words.
"Herald! scold them".
"Uh。。。。。 Be.. The last general commanded"
In this way, there is a classic allusion in history that the two armies are full and scolding each other all night.
At this time.
"Your Highness, the situation in Yangzhou City is already clear. The defenders of the northern city are weaker".
"Call General Zhuo Ning to come to the meeting"
。。。。。。。。。。。。。
"General Zhuo Ning, sleep well!" Jin Yi looked at the listless Zhuo Ning with a playful expression.
"Good one..." I just wanted to say a good fart, so I swallowed it. glanced at His Royal Highness the Third Prince with a weak heart. Seeing that there was no big problem, he arched his hand and said
His Royal Highness laughed, these tens of thousands of people, scolded each other, and beat drums. How can I sleep so noisy, it's almost dawn".
"Then prepare for a sneak attack!"
"Sneak attack? Which city gate? Zhuoning asked.
"Send more people to pretend to attack the north gate, and I will lead the elite to attack the south gate. You continue to lead people to scold."
"What? That's not going to work! How can you be a prince in it, just go to this general" Wen Ning hurriedly stopped, this one hung up, and he was ruined. It doesn't matter if you win or not.
"General, as the prince of the Wei Dynasty, how can you watch the rebels bring disaster to the country and the people! Please don't stop the general! ”
Chu Yi bowed.
"Hey! What's so hard about that? Maybe I'll send more people to help you. Zhuo Ning sighed.
"Thank you, General... The general still has one thing, the north gate immediately attacked the city during the sneak attack"
"Don't worry, General Ben will do his best to help."
Looking at the Northern Wei army in the distance, Su Ping's eyes flashed fiercely.
"General, if you want to, go down and rest. I'm here to watch. Deputy General Yu Ping was concerned.
"It's okay! If my guess is right, they want to sneak up on the north gate, and if they go, they will also fall into the net. deliberately weak, in fact, there are heavy troops".
"The general is wise!" Adjutant General Yu Ping bowed down.
After a while, "Report!" The north gate was attacked by night".
"Haha", sure enough, Su Ping sneered.
