Chapter 180: Confrontation (3)
Qingshui camp, inside the big tent of the Chinese army.
Murong De was in a high position, and the rest of the generals were on both sides.
"The last general, Murong Hao, see the marshal." Murong Hao came in and saluted Murong De.
"Get up!" Murong De said with a dissatisfied face: "This marshal ordered you to be the vanguard general, you have been here for more than a month, and you have not even been able to take down a small cottage, but you have lost your troops and generals, how can you be a pioneer general." ”
"The last general is incompetent, please punish the marshal." Murong Hao knew that it was useless for him to quibble, so he simply became generous and directly asked for guilt.
"Great marshal, although General Murong Hao has had it, he also has merits; In this month's time, countless siege equipment was built for our army, and the marshal might as well order him to make meritorious contributions to watch the aftermath. The general who was better with Murong Hao pleaded.
"Dashuai, the last general will reconsider, please allow Murong Hao to make meritorious contributions."
"Please allow him to make meritorious contributions."
"For the sake of the generals interceding for you, this commander will allow you to make meritorious service for your crimes; Tomorrow led his troops and horses to attack Xizhai and took it in one fell swoop. Murong De directly issued a military order.
"The Last Will Do ......"
————————
Inside the big tent in Xizhai.
"Are you all back?" Captain Luo asked Captain Guo Yi.
"It's all back, and no one has been left behind." Captain Guo Yi said, "Did the general reply?" What happened to the reinforcements? ”
"I've replied, but the general won't send reinforcements." Captain Luo said: "The general ordered us to hold on to Xizhai for at least three days, and then evacuate to the next cottage by ourselves after three days. ”
"Three days? How is this possible? Captain Guo Yi was shocked: "You must know that the Xirong army opposite us has 150,000, and even one person can drown us with a mouthful of foam, so that we can hold out for three days;
By the way, how do you count these three days! Count it today? ”
"Count today." Captain Luo said.
"That's pretty much it."
"The general told us to hold out for three days, and there must have been his consideration; No matter what the general thinks, we must hold on for these three days, and even if we fight to the last soldier, we will not be able to break the village. Captain Luo said with a very resolute attitude: "We can't store a lot of cured meat for more than a month!" Let the brothers eat openly, and only when they are full will they have the strength to go into battle to kill the enemy;
In addition, I will move all the NVC rolling logs to the wall, completely seal the gate on the west side, and all the arrows will be scattered and moved under the wall......"
For defensive matters, Captain Luo made arrangements one by one, and arranged everything he could think of.
The next morning, it was just dawning.
"Knock, knock, knock......"
"Woo, woo, woo......"
A rush of war drums and trumpets came from the Xirong Qingshui camp not far away.
"Let the brothers hurry up and eat, the Xirong army has begun to gather troops." Captain Luo said as he gulped down meat.
Half an hour later, the black-pressed Xirong soldiers couldn't see their heads at a glance, and they finished lining up outside the Xizhai arrow, and the momentum exuded by them made the Yongjun soldiers guarding the village a little breathless.
"Ha, ha, ha......" Captain Luo laughed heartily and said: "Brothers, these Xirong thieves really give us face!" If we don't 'entertain' others, we will all be sorry for our ancestors, and we will give Lao Tzu a good 'greeting' for a while, and if anyone 'greets' them badly, I will greet you. ”
"Ha, ha, ha......" Captain Luo's words caused a burst of laughter from the soldiers guarding the village, although what he said was not so funny, but it greatly reduced the pressure on the soldiers guarding the village.
"My lord, the Xijon Army has entered the range of our bed crossbows." Captain Guo Yi reminded.
"Then what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and 'greet' a wave." Captain Luo ordered.
"Bed crossbowmen ready, single large crossbow arrows...... Put ......"
"Bang, bang, bang......"
The big crossbow arrows pierced the air and went straight to the Xirong army, and the ten big crossbow arrows were directly on the neat Xirong military array, tearing ten cracks, and the shield held by the giant shield soldier in front was directly shattered, and the soldiers behind were directly strung into a blood gourd.
"Good, good, good......" The guards shouted in unison.
"Brothers, see it! The Xirong thief was also raised by his mother's father, and this arrow still wore a bloody hole in the past. Captain Luo boosted morale and said: "Don't stop the bed crossbowmen, let Lao Tzu continue to release." ”
"Bang, bang, bang......"
The bed crossbowmen shot round after round, and before the Xijon army entered the range of the crossbow, it had already lost eight or nine hundred people, but this was a drop in the bucket for the Xijon army.
Finally, the Xirong army came to the front of the trench after paying a heavy price, because of the high terrain, although there was no water in the trench, but the Yongjun army inserted a lot of sharp wooden stakes and bamboo sticks in the trench, as long as people fell and did not die, they would be disabled.
In order to be able to pass through the trench smoothly, the Xijon army filled the trench with sacks that had been prepared long ago, and these sacks were filled with soil, and thousands of people were responsible for filling it, and it didn't take much effort to fill a road.
"Catapults and crossbowmen, specifically targeting the Xijon soldiers who fill the trenches to fight me."
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"Ahh......h
Because the range of the bow and crossbow of the Xirong army was not as far as that of the Yong army, the Xirong army could only be beaten passively, coupled with the arrows and stone throws of the guards guarding the village, the casualties of the Xirong army rose in a straight line.
"Marshal, give the order to withdraw the troops!" A general persuaded Murong De: "This trench hasn't even been filled yet!" Our army has already lost thousands of people, and the losses are too great. ”
"Withdraw the troops now, can you guarantee that the next wave of attacks will take this cottage?" Murong De glared at the general and said, "Order, order Murong Hao's entire army to press on and take this cottage at all costs." ”
"The last general commands."
"Order the banner to give the order, and order Murong Hao's whole army to press."
Murong Hao, who was commanding on the front line, frowned when he received such a military order, and scolded Murong De in his heart for being a fool; The construction of Xizhai originally occupied an absolute terrain, and the attack surface from the west was very narrow, and at most two or three thousand troops could be invested at a time, and no matter how many troops there were, they could not be used.
In the attack just now, Murong Hao invested 3,000 troops, and now he has lost nearly half of it, Murong Hao is preparing to withdraw his troops and change a group of people to continue the attack! But I didn't expect to receive such a military order, it was really painful.
The marshals have all issued military orders, and Murong Hao naturally does not dare to disobey, but Murong Hao did not obey all of them; Murong Hao did not suppress all the large army, but sent 2,000 people to support, so it became a tactic to add fuel.
And Xizhai is like a stone mill, constantly smashing the troops invested in the Xirong army, in just one morning, Murong Hao invested tens of thousands of troops to attack, although he successfully touched the wall, the loss is also very huge, the entire Xizhai has been filled with the corpses of the Xirong army, and these corpses are now seriously hindering the pace of the Xirong army's attack.
However, after a morning of fierce fighting, the soldiers of the Yongjun White Tiger Army guarding the village did not have a good time, although the casualties were not large, but the physical strength was consumed very seriously, and many people were so tired that they could not get up.
