Chapter 342: The First Great General to Die

The left is bigger, it's all arranged.

General Gao, who had been guarding the West Gate, would go to the East Gate to garrison after resting, and there would be no Rong troops there for the time being, so the brothers could rest for a few days.

And General Li Ji has also led 10,000 recruits to supplement the north gate to assist in the defense. I think that the Rong army outside the northern city will not storm the city for a while.

However, only General An has just changed the guard to Xicheng and there are too many new recruits among the 10,000 soldiers, and I am afraid that if the Rong army attacks again tonight like last night, the brothers will not be able to resist the attack of the Rong army. ”

Xizihui said to Lihua with a worried face, but Lihua, who smiled slightly when he heard this, shook his head at Xizihui, pointed at An Moran and said, "General Xizi don't have to worry about this matter, General An will not let us down." ”

After saying that, Lihua and An Moran looked at each other and smiled, and then An Moran explained to Xizihui: "Most of the recruits have been arranged by me under the city, and they don't need to go to the top of the city, so General Xizi doesn't have to filter."

However, General Xizi, not to mention that half of the 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city are veterans, even if all of them are recruits, they have also been trained for several months, but they have not experienced the baptism of the war, so they can't be called recruits.

I think that the soldiers who had never received a day of training at the Wooden Hedgehog Pass would fight hard with the Rong army at the juncture for three days and not necessarily lose to the Rong army as soon as they came to the Wooden Hedgehog Pass, so the matter of this war was far more complicated than imagined, otherwise, how could the displaced people who had not trained for a day occupy so many cities during the Meng Chun Rebellion. How could the soldiers and horses of the two generals, Niu Yong and Huang Yunhe, become the leaders of our Hexi army. ”

As soon as An Moran's words came to this, suddenly he seemed to notice that the atmosphere in this hall was a little strange, Liang Qingshu on the side kept squeezing his eyes, and on the other side, Xi Zihui, who was originally smiling and listening to him, also changed his face and lowered his head and stopped talking.

"Ugh."

Fortunately, after a moment, An Moran understood that he was mentioning someone who shouldn't be mentioned, which caused the atmosphere in the hall to become a little awkward.

He just wanted to explain a few sentences, but he didn't know where to start, so he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

An Moran's expression was seen in the eyes of Zhu Lihua, and he smiled at Gao Yunce, who was tied with a white cloth strip tied around his ears next to him, and then smiled at An Moran:

"Brother An is quick to talk, and what he said is exactly what I am talking about. The soldiers and horses of General Huang and General Niu were originally homeless people and bandits who voted for me before they became a strong army, and later they were almost invincible in the west of the river.

So the recruits will also be a strong force, and we must not underestimate them.

In last night's battle, our army suffered more than 1,700 casualties, which seemed to be extremely dangerous, but in fact the number of losses did not hurt the roots.

The reason for this is that last night's fierce battle was just a mutual shooting of arrows, so how could the casualties of the two armies of the enemy fight face to face.

So in tonight's battle, I think we should let the veterans take turns to go to the city with the new recruits to shoot at the Rong army, and once there are signs of unbearable signs at the head of the city, the soldiers and horses under the city will immediately go to the city to take over.

In this way, the recruits will gradually adapt to the bloody battle and no longer be afraid of battle.

Wasn't it precisely because of such tactics that we were able to fight to the end that the recruits were able to fight to the end. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Lihua put away his smile and said solemnly: "Generals, it can be seen from last night's battle that as long as we are determined to fight to the death, then even the Kunpeng army will be scared away by us." ”

After Lu Lihua finished saying the last three words, the generals in the hall got up one after another and responded in a hurry, and then they asked Gao Yunce with a smile about the details of last night's battle and the experience of using troops.

Especially An Moran, don't look at this person's usual smugness, but at this time, he asked Gao Yunce very carefully and listened very carefully.

And when Gao Yunce finished speaking, he didn't forget to think about it carefully before putting forward his own views and ideas to refer to Gao Yunce in detail.

Looking at the relaxed expressions of the generals and listening to the discussions between them, the uneasy heart under the seemingly smiling face of Zhu Lihua jumped up.

"Lin Xu, what kind of changes will you make?"

Just as the soldiers and horses in Huangyin City made adjustments and transfers, and the generals in the Yuli Mansion were discussing the strategy of defending the city, Lin Xu's Chinese army tent was different.

Judging from the physiognomy, there are Rong people, Di people, and Qin people among these people.

They are either tall and mighty, or short and strong with red hair, or slightly dark with a gloomy expression.

But the only thing that these people have in common is that they don't even dare to breathe at this moment, but their eyes are fixed on the head that rolls to the ground in the big tent, each making its own calculations in their hearts.

The head was a bearded man with a black face, his eyes wide with rage, his teeth clenched, and obviously with a rather unwilling mood before he died.

But Rao is like this, and it can't stop him from becoming a ghost, and his appearance makes this full of generals understand that the seemingly young and immature Lin Xu is not a master who can talk well and protect his shortcomings.

Wang Kun, the general of Qin Lan of the Great Xia Kingdom, was the name and official position of the first-ranking master of the earth during his lifetime. No matter who mentioned this Wang Kun in the Xia army, they would never be stingy with his praise, because this person was the leader who besieged Fang Yuanheng in a corner of Qinlan County in the first place.

In other words, although Edo killed Fang Yuanheng back then, it was this person who forced Edo to make a choice.

But last night, when he left 4,000 archers to run back to the west of the moat outside Huangyin City, the enraged Lin Xu did not think of this person's merits at all, and after gathering all the generals to reprimand and convict him, he beheaded him in public.

How can such a practice not make the hearts of the generals who are full of tents shocked. A great general, a general whose status in the Kunpeng army is second only to Lin Xu, died in the hands of his own people, where did the rest of the generals dare to have two hearts about Lin Xu's military orders.

After once again reiterating the tough military order that if you fight or die, if you don't fight, you will die, not to mention that the generals of the Kunpeng Army under Lin Xu are all in danger at the moment, even Bei Mu Er and Ah Huanu dare not say a word more.

And when Lin Xu announced that the account was over, everyone bowed their heads and hurried back to the station, not daring to say a word to Lin Xu.

This night, countless crazy Rong troops attacked the head of Huangyin City even more frantically than last night, and the number of casualties among the soldiers under An Moran on the head of the city was far more than last night.

If the plan for the successive battles had not been drawn up and implemented, I am afraid that the strong attack of the Rong army without counting the casualties would have made the defenders at the head of the city feel unbearable.

Rao is like this, the archers of the two sides still ended in the victory of the Rong army this night, so for a long time, the Qin army at the head of the city was suppressed by the bows and arrows of the Rong people and could not raise their heads.

Had it not been for the fact that many of the soldiers who had to unload the earth under the walls of the city had to unload the earth under the walls, and were struck hard by the gold juice at the head of the city and the maces of the maces hanging from the walls with thick logs, the western walls would have been lost in less than two days.

But it was also the effective killing of the golden juice and the wolf's tooth hammer against the city that made Lihua quickly adjust the strategy of defending the city.

He ordered An Moran to forcibly suppress the opponent's archers while firing at the Rong army under the city, and also move all the cauldrons of burning gold juice directly above more than a dozen earthen platforms, and then pour the gold juice at the same time when the Rong army filled the soil at night, and then throw down and hang the huge tooth hammer continuously, so as to concentrate on the foot soldiers who filled the earth.

As a result, in the following days, the speed of the earthen platform became slower and slower, but at the same time, the soldiers of the Rong army also became more and more crazy.

Every night a large number of foot soldiers died on the platforms, their bodies buried in the earth after being infected with the stench of gold juice, which made the platforms that grew slowly higher in the following days closer to the side of the wall, and the corpses of the soldiers were built higher than the earth and stones.

This made the soldiers of the Qin army at the head of the city a little unbearable, and even in the daytime, those recruits did not dare to look at the earthen platform under the city.

Finally, before dawn five days after the change of defense, Lu Lihua, who had received the news of the retreat of the Rong army and climbed to the top of the city, even saw the real Rong cavalry that should have appeared at the north gate turn around and leave.

He looked at the dirt slopes below the city that were less than three or four steps away from the city, and he suddenly felt a cold sweat behind him.

He knew that if the night had been any longer than an hour, he would have to charge the city instead of turn around and leave.

What made Zhu Lihua feel even more troublesome was that after five days and nights of bloody battles, the tired faces of the soldiers of the Qin army at the head of the city began to gradually appear a trace of fear.

"These days, those Rong people don't know what's going on, and they suddenly go crazy. Brother Gao told me that those archers would retreat when they encountered a tough resistance. But you have also seen that once the battle starts, these soldiers will never have the slightest sign of retreating.

More than 4,000 people died in the battle in a few nights, this is a team dominated by new soldiers, if it weren't for the fact that Zuo Daren sent reinforcements to help us one after another, I'm afraid, I'm afraid.

Alas, the left is a bigger person, it is not that An is cowardly, but those Rong troops are unusual troops, if I let my sons go to the city to fight tonight, I am afraid that this city will not be able to hold it.

.......”

Hearing An Moran frowning and complaining to himself, Zhu Lihua couldn't help but look at the rest of the generals while being irritated in his heart.

However, he knew very well in his heart that among the soldiers and horses under the command of the generals in front of him, there were more veterans in the two armies of Gao Yunce and An Moran, but even the two of them had already felt the difficulty of defending the city, and the rest of the generals under the command of the vast majority of the troops were recruits, where could they do better than Gao and An Er.

But he also knew that An Moran's soldiers had indeed suffered too heavy losses and were demoralized at the moment, so in desperation, he had no choice but to order Li Ji and Xin Tong'er to each lead 3,000 archers to assist An Moran in the city tonight.

These 6,000 archers are all recruits who have been in the army for less than half a year, so there is still some anxiety in Zhu Lihua's heart about whether he can hold the west side of the city tonight.

To this end, Lihua assigned the 10,000 troops used as a reserve army in the city to the north, east, and south gates to assist in guarding, and transferred Gao Yunce's infantry under Gao Yunce, who had rested for several nights, to the west city wall, ready to start hand-to-hand combat with the Rong army that rushed to the city.
