Chapter 221: The Luoyang Army Besieges Wagang, and the Fire, Thunder and Arrow Battlefield is powerful
"Get out! I don't care about you! You don't know what is on it, go ask Lao Zuo. --- vomit," Yang Er held Zhong Jian's shoulder, and then continued to vomit.
"Luo fool, the tip of my gun is sticky with the blood of the gun, and your hammer head is full of human brains, it's disgusting! Also, Who is Luo Xiaogun? Luo Cheng walked over and pulled Luo Shixin and asked.
"Bah! It's really --- disgusting! Next time--- next time I won't --- and don't knock on my head--- head. Hehe! Luo Shixin smirked, shook his shoulder, shook Luo Cheng's hand away and said.
In the eyes of Luo Shixin and the generals, the title of the first shot of the Jin army deserves to belong to the general Wu Yunzhao, while Luo Cheng's Wugou Shenfei Spear can only be ranked second. It's just that everyone didn't know what to say because of Luo Cheng's face, but Luo Shixin and Luo Cheng were too familiar, so they couldn't hide it. Luo Cheng has no way to take him, whether it is going underground immediately, weapons and fists, the two of them can't tell the winner, and they often fight until they are exhausted, and they both stop at their best, which has also become a wonder in the army.
After the whole army entered the city, Wu Bao commanded his men to block the city gate with boulders again. Luo Cheng went to the city again to meet to protect the children and defend the city. At this time, there was already a faint burst of murderous aura in the distance.
Yang Er also took the generals to the city tower to watch.
"Zhong Jian went to inform Mr. Lu to deliver the food to the city wall, the soldiers didn't have time to eat, at most half an hour, Wang Shichong's army was about to arrive." Yang Er looked at the skyline in the distance and said softly, and all the generals also saw the difference in the distance, and their expressions became grim.
"Lord, the last general asked to go to Liyang City for help, there are tens of thousands of elites called by Wu Yunzhao, who can completely rush to my Wagang. Or, cross the river and let General Hou Junji lead the defenders of Zezhou to help. Liang Shitai looked at the black heads in the distance and said. Now the ground is covered with a thin layer of snow, and the blackness in the distance is particularly striking.
"Don't use it for the time being, if those people and horses move, it will affect the overall situation, and our army will be completely passive, especially the soldiers and horses in Liyang can't move, and if you move Jinan Tangbi, you will have a chance." Yang Er said to Liang Shitai and to the generals behind him.
After a while, Lu Zhaolin led the Huotou army to carry all the food and other food to the city wall, and distributed them one by one to the 5,000 White Horse Yicong soldiers who defended the city. The food was very rich, and in addition to all kinds of meat, each soldier was given a pot of wine, which both kept the cold and courageous. The soldiers ate and drank while their eyes watched the enemy approaching little by little.
Watching the boundless Luoyang Army gradually approaching the sight, the small black dots gradually turned into real human shapes, which were also mixed with many horse troops. The flags in the army can gradually see the colors clearly, but the flags are innumerable.
"Alas! This king miscalculated, he should have been equipped with hundreds of cannons here. Is there enough Sky Bombardment and Fire Thunder Crossbow Arrows in General Laihu'er's army? Look at the number of Luoyang troops should be about 100,000, a lot! It was the first time for Yang Er to see such a spectacular number of enemy troops, and he couldn't help but be worried.
"My lord, this thunderstorm is hugely powerful, and the general will not see how much it will do, and it will make the enemy frightened. Each of our troops is equipped with 10 grenades and 20 fire and thunder crossbow arrows as standard, and if they are all well trained, they should be enough to deal with the current enemy. Laihu'er replied with confidence. It was used once on the steppe, and it was easy to take the lives of 20,000 cavalry of the Turkic Tiger Division, and this time it was even more advantageous that the sergeants only needed to throw grenades under the city, which was safer and farther away.
"Hmmm! That's good, let the soldiers save a little bit of throwing, don't run out after the enemy's first attack on the city, and everyone will be finished at that time. Yang Er had to admonish.
"The lord is relieved, they all say hello, each person can only throw one out each time they attack, and only two crossbow arrows can be fired. Normal crossbow arrows are optional. ”
"Hmmm! It's up to you. ”
Finally, after more than an hour, Wang Shichong's Luoyang army of nearly 100,000 people came to a stop 5 miles away from the city.
Wang Shichong and the others stepped forward to look at the walled city at the foot of Wagang Mountain from a distance, and the light snow falling one after another blocked the vision, and he couldn't see it clearly, but he could vaguely see the flags on the city, and he felt that the city had already arranged a defense, and he was waiting for himself to attack the city.
"Set up camp on the spot, and when the sky clears tomorrow, attack the city, and take it in one fell swoop." When the generals heard this, they hurriedly turned around and arranged for their own camp.
Seeing the Luoyang army begin to camp in the distance, Yang Er breathed a sigh of relief, from the bottom of his heart, Yang Er was very reluctant to see the tragic siege battle, he would rather nest in his warm room on the top of the mountain and wait for the final news.
"Shi Tai, your original 4,000 defenders here are divided into two batches and assigned to Lai Hu'er and General Zuo Tiancheng, so that they can control the bed crossbow to carry out long-range strikes against the enemy. After the enemy arrives at the city, he cooperates with the defenders as archers. ”
"Get the order, and the end will be arranged." Liang Shitai hurriedly went to divide the troops to make arrangements.
"General Wu Bao, you have 7,000 men under your command, and 4,000 are divided into the city as reserves, and if there is an emergency in the city, you will go to the city to help in the battle. Another 3,000 men and horses retreated to the mountain gate defense line in case of emergency. ”
"Yes, my lord, I will arrange it in the end." After Wu Bao answered, he hurriedly went down to the city to make arrangements.
"General Laihu'er, it seems that the Luoyang army will not come to attack the city today, the snow will be heavier at night, let the soldiers pay attention to the cold at the head of the city, and it doesn't hurt to burn more bonfires, and the enemy will not attack on such a snowy night."
"Yes, my lord. The Admiral understood. Let's ask the lord to go back to the mountain to rest! Laihu'er said.
"Hmmm! I'll leave it to you here, Lao Zuo, you come over at night to accompany General Lai'er, anyway, it's okay for you to truce tomorrow. ”
"Yes, my lord. Luo Zi couldn't sleep, so I brought him over to accompany General Lai'er to drink on the city tower. ”
Yang Er listened, nodded, didn't need to say anything else, after looking at the generals around him, he took Zhong Jian and others to go down to the city and return to the mountain.
This night was a very long time for the soldiers of Wagang.
The night was very quiet.
This night is another herald of a tragic and bloody battle to come.
Yang Er was in the attic of the house, looking at the night sky outside the window with falling snowflakes for a long time! So much so that Wang Dai and Chuchen couldn't hear him even shouting twice.
I thought that the fastest war would break out at least after the beginning of spring next year, but I didn't think that it would be just after the beginning of winter, and the war and myself would come unexpectedly. This is not the same as a war against a foreign nation, but it is often a more tragic civil war.
Originally, I thought that the first person to go to war with myself would be Tang Bi, the king of Jinan, and all his deployments were also aimed at Tang Bi, but he didn't want to start a war at an unexpected time, in an unexpected place and with an unexpected enemy, Wang Shichong.
It's all weird! Wang Shichong is full, will Tang Bi wait until the beginning of spring next year? Definitely not, besides, the thaw of the Yellow River after the beginning of spring is not conducive to Tangbi crossing the river to start a war. Hopefully, Wang Bo of Donglai County and Du Fuwei of Langya County can move with their cameras.
"Brother, brother."
"Hey! What's wrong? Yang Er, who was in deep thought, was finally woken up by the call of the dust and turned his head.
"Brother Shi, this is a sweet potato baked by my little sister, hurry up."
"Oh, good!" Yang Er hurriedly reached out to catch a steaming sweet potato handed over by Chuchen. Wang Dai and Abeyi beside the stove were already eager to tear the skin and eat it.
"Sister Chuchen, don't always give sweet potatoes to my brother to eat! My brother's stomach is full of sweet potatoes now, there are no such three meals a day, no, I eat this thing four times, my brother is now constantly bubbling up with sour water in his stomach and intestines, and his speech is sweet potato flavor. By the way, I spit out a few bites of the sweet potatoes I ate in the morning during the day today. Can you change the taste? Zhong Jian, I want to eat meat for my brother---"
Zhong Jian, who was holding the sweet potato given by the dust and eating it violently on the side, suddenly heard his name called, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then made a sweet potato partition and said: "Brother Shi, there is no meat to eat today, and the soldiers on the city wall are all close to it, I heard that Mr. Lu will slaughter a few cows to reward the soldiers tomorrow, I don't have to say, the younger brother went to ask for a big beef leg to come back for Brother Shi to prepare, and roast it for supper at night to eat, okay?" ”
"Well, don't forget." Yang Er said helplessly, and then sat down by the stove and began to destroy the huge sweet potato in his hand, which weighed two catties.
"Husband, this pot is hot with the wolf broth left over from yesterday, there are still a few bones in it, and there is some meat on it, how about I give you a bowl later?" Wang Dai saw Yang Er looking at the sweet potato in his hand, so he hurriedly said.
"Huh! So much best. Zhong Jian came over and ordered you to destroy it for your brother. With that, he stuffed the huge sweet potato in his hand into Zhong Jian's arms, and then laughed. The women laughed when they saw it.
It was just dawn and the snow had stopped overnight.
When most of the soldiers camping in the city were still sleeping in warm down sleeping bags, Lu Zhaolin took Shen Yuan's logistics brigade to the city wall, carrying pots of steaming sweet potato rice porridge and pots of snow-white steamed buns. The generals on duty hurriedly woke up their subordinates from their sleep, each took out the military iron porcelain bowl they had been distributed, lined up to hold a large bowl of hot gruel, received two large steamed buns, and ate today's breakfast with the pickles they were distributed.
Looking out of the city, wisps of green smoke rose in the Luoyang army village at this time, and they were also preparing their own breakfast, but for many of them, today's breakfast may be the last meal in their lives.
The soldiers who had eaten breakfast hurried to arrange their weapons. I looked at the baby-like bombardment grenade over and over again, and wiped my new repeater over and over again. The archers, who were auxiliaries, were now in a hurry to clear the snow from the ground on the city walls.
In an instant, the sun came out, and the sunlight reflected on the earth, and after being reflected by the snow, it shone brightly everywhere.
"Come on, General, the enemy forces outside the city have begun to set up." Immediately, a long horn sounded from outside the city, and Laihu'er knew that it was a gathering of troops, and knew that the enemy army was arranging a formation. Hurriedly came out of the city building, holding the battlements and looking at the Luoyang army that was arranging in the open space in the distance.
"Order the soldiers to enter a state of imminent battle, and let the unrelated people wait to go down to the city. In half an hour at most, the enemy will attack the city. Laihu'er ordered to the herald beside him. Then he entered the house and put on his armor with the cooperation of the guards.
At this time, Lai Hu'er was wearing the new combat uniform of the Jin Army, and the two gold stars on the hat were shining. In this uniform, only the head and neck are exposed, and when directing a battle on the city wall, unless the bow and arrow are directly shot in the neck or head, other parts are not afraid of being directly shot.
The sound of the horn at the foot of the mountain also alarmed Yang Er, who got up early. If you open the window in the top of the mountain, you can see the walled city below, and you can even see the whole battle situation in your eyes from a high vantage point. Compared with the dense tents outside the city, where there was no edge in sight, a narrow wall seemed so small and weak.
Just when Yang Er, Wang Dai, Chuchen, Zhong Jian and others were looking from afar, they heard a cannon sound in the distance, and looking down, nearly 30,000 Luoyang soldiers from at least 5 phalanxes flowed like a black tide to the walled city at the foot of Wagang Mountain, and this scene was even more shocking with the snow as the background. Wang Dai was so frightened that she tugged on Yang Er's arm tightly, but Chuchen was closing her eyes slightly, her right hand brushing the dust on her left forearm, her left hand clenched into a fist, her fingers moved slightly, and she had words in her mouth.
"Brother Shi, Luoyang's troops are so large, can they hold it when they come to the general?" Zhong Jian was also seeing this kind of battle for the first time, and he couldn't help but be a little worried. However, Yang Er's face was not shocked, but he just looked coldly at the Luoyang soldiers who were screaming and rushing towards the city wall. You can even see Wang Shichong's canopy commanding in the distance, and the person under the canopy must be Wang Shichong.
"It's a pity that I don't have a Mosin Nagant in my hand, and if I do, I just have a shot." Yang Er thought in his heart, ignored Zhong Jian, and only gently patted Wang Dai's little hand that was holding his arm.
Just when everyone was worried, there was a three-way drum sound on the city wall. Immediately, a row of nearly 100 large bed crossbows was placed on the city and the first round of fires began. From a high place, you can see a piece of crossbow arrows shot at the Luoyang army group in the distance, and you can suddenly see that the Luoyang army's offensive has been defeated, and countless enemy troops have been shot through by crossbow arrows and fall to the ground. But after a moment's pause, the enemy again shouted and rushed towards the wall.
At this time, Laihu'er is directing the long-range crossbow arrow to fire.
"Drumming! Unleash a short-range repeater fire bolt. Lai Hu'er saw that the Luoyang army under the city had entered the range of 300 steps of the crossbow fire and thunder arrows, so he ordered the drummers to beat the drum and set fire to the thunder arrows.
Hearing the sound of the drums of the fire and thunder arrows, the 5,000 Bai Ma Yi soldiers neatly raised the fire and thunder crossbows in their hands, and suddenly a dense rain of fire and thunder crossbow arrows rushed towards the Luoyang army that rushed densely.
As the fire, thunder, and crossbow arrows hit the enemy's body, a loud bang erupted. With this violent explosion, pieces of Luoyang troops fell on the snow, and this large area of snow suddenly turned blood-red.
This volley fired 5,000 fire and thunder arrows, causing at least 15,000 casualties. The Luoyang army's offensive suddenly weakened, and even began to retreat. The huge explosion and the bloody slaughter scene terrified all the attacking Luoyang troops, and no one dared to rush forward again.
"Collect the troops." Wang Shichong saw the sudden explosion in front of him, and then the screams were endless, and he knew that the attack had been frustrated, and immediately ordered to stop the attack.
After a loud gong, the Luoyang army receded like a falling tide, and after the tide receded, what remained in people's eyes was a miserable scene like hell, shocking!
