Chapter 195: Straight to the Yellow Dragon
Zhang Shumo saw the posture of Jingguo's army, and his heart was restless. The low walls of Xiuwuzhi and the small city will definitely not be able to withstand the fierce attack for a long time, and the Jingguo army is so well prepared, it should be able to break through the city gate in less than a day. If you have enough troops under your command, you can attack while they are arranging siege equipment, but now that there are few soldiers and generals, you have to make a surprise move if you want to defend the city.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo estimated the number of people released by the other party according to the size of the enemy army, and found that the other party almost poured out, and immediately thought of a way to deal with it.
"Brother Hu, you go and ask Jiang Bin to send troops to support, if they are willing to send troops, let them bypass the enemy position and go straight to Huanglong, and go to attack the enemy camp. You told him that this time was different from when he fought Su Yi, let him burn the grain and grass and retreat quickly, don't fall in love with the war. ”
Zhang Shumo explained to Hu Kun, and Hu Kun immediately set off for the North Road military camp. Then Zhang Shumo looked at Pan Feng again: "General Pan, General Pang Yuan's injuries have not healed, and the responsibility of defending the city this time will be handed over to you!" ”
Pan Feng nodded, but he didn't know the bottom in his heart. Although Pan Feng joined the army with his father since he was a child, he followed his father in every battle and never became a commander. Even if he shined in the battle with Jingguo's army the day before yesterday, he was still a little nervous now.
Zhang Shumo also knew something about Pan Feng's ability, and knew that Pan Feng's ability to kill the enemy one after another that day would be due to luck, so Zhang Shumo patted Pan Feng's shoulder again: "General Pan doesn't need to worry too much, just defend the city with all his heart, and I will bear the consequences!" ”
In a short time, Jingguo's large trebuchet had been deployed, and then Jingguo's war drums were heard. Ji Wen rode to Yang Xue's side and said proudly: "Concubine Ai, just wait to see how I avenge my father-in-law!" ”
When the drum beat ended, Ji Wen waved his hand: "Attack!" ”
With Ji Wen's order, the trebuchet threw huge stones and smashed them at the city wall of Xiuwuzhi, Pan Feng hurriedly ordered everyone to hide behind the female wall. Cai Zhi and others wanted to pull Zhang Shumo off the city wall, but Zhang Shumo refused, so all the officials and soldiers in the city participated in the defense of the city on the city wall.
Under the cover of trebuchets, Jingguo's army approached the city wall with a ladder, and after they were less than a hundred paces away from the wall, Pan Feng immediately ordered all the archers to start a counterattack. The arrows slowed down the pace of Jingguo's army attacking the city, but Jingguo was also prepared, they set up the crossbow cart, aimed it at the low-lying part of the female wall, and immediately used the ballista to fight back as soon as the archers showed their heads.
The Jingguo army had the upper hand with the help of siege equipment. The trebuchet threw huge stones and smashed them on the city wall, splashing a lot of rubble, and many of Xiuwuzhi's archers were scratched by the rubble. One of the archers was hit by an enemy crossbow cart and was pierced through the chest by a huge crossbow arrow, and his death was extremely tragic.
At this time, many Jingguo soldiers had already climbed the ladder to the wall, and for fear of accidental injury, Jingguo's trebuchets and ballistae also stopped attacking. Wu Xiujun, who had been aggrieved for a long time, finally stopped hiding and fought with the soldiers of Jingguo.
At the same time, Hu Kun had already come to the camp of the North Route Army, and Jiang Bin agreed without hesitation after receiving Zhang Shumo's message. Jiang Bin still understands the truth of cold lips and teeth, once Xiu Wuzhi is lost, then Jingguo's next target is himself.
So Jiang Bin directly raised his gun and led the Northern Route Army around the battlefield and quietly touched Jingguo's camp.
At this time, on the city wall of Xiuwuzhi, the men and horses of both sides were already inseparable. Lou Zaiying was killing enemies on the city wall, while anxiously looking for Zhang Shumo.
Not long after, Lou Zaiying saw Liu Tiantian who was killing the enemy, sighed in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Liu Tiantian, where is Zhang Shumo?" You're here, so who's protecting Zhang Shumo? ”
Liu naturally dealt with a few soldiers around him, and then looked at Lou Zaiying: "The situation was too chaotic just now, and we were separated." You go to the city gate tower and have a look, there are too many enemy troops here, so I will stay and kill the enemy. ”
Lou Zaiying hurriedly ran to the city gate tower when he heard this.
In Xiuwuzhi City, Wang Hu took advantage of Wang Tu and Minniang's unpreparedness and sneaked out, and then found Lou Guang, who was left alone at home.
"Hey! Dumb, would you like to try your hand at the city walls with me? ”
Lou Guang has never disobeyed Lou Zaiying's words since he was stimulated last time, and this time Lou Zaiying asked him to stay at home, so he naturally wouldn't go to the city wall with Wang Hu. So he shook his head firmly.
Seeing that Lou Guang was unwilling, Wang Hu pursed his lips and said, "I said, what are you practicing martial arts for?" You're fifteen years old, and you still plan to let my master and sister protect you all the time? Since you are so cowardly, I will not practice martial arts in the future, anyway, it is useless for you to learn, and you can't even protect your family! ”
As soon as these words came out, they directly poked Lou Guang's sore spot. Failed to protect Qiuqiu, Lou Guang has always felt guilty, and was so provoked by Wang Hu, Lou Guang couldn't help but yell: "I can!" I can protect her, give me another chance and I can definitely protect her! ”
Lou Guang suddenly went crazy and startled Wang Hu, but Wang Hu quickly laughed: "Aren't you dumb?" But it's not up to you to say it, you have to give it a try! ”
After speaking, Wang Hu gave Lou Guang a wink. Lou Guang clenched his fists: "I'll try to show you!" With that, the two of them ran towards the city wall.
Lou Zaiying came to the city gate tower, but except for Pan Feng and his soldiers struggling to kill the enemy, there was no shadow of Zhang Shumo at all.
"General Pan, where is Zhang Shumo?" Lou Zaiying hurriedly asked.
"Zhang Gongzi will take people to guard the north ......" Before Pan Feng finished speaking, Lou Zaiying had already run towards the northern section of the city wall.
At this time, the north side of the city wall was in chaos, and hundreds of Jingguo soldiers had already occupied a small area. Zhang Shumo was in a hurry, and personally rushed up with the soldiers, wanting to recapture the wall. Cai Zhi and the others were worried about Zhang Shumo's safety, so they had to follow.
But the battle situation at this time was too chaotic, and the soldiers had no time to care about the safety of Zhang Shumo and others.
Zhang Shumo picked up the halberd on the ground and wanted to fight with the other party, but he was grabbed by the other party, and the man pulled hard, and Zhang Shumo was taken to the ground. Then the Jingguo soldier stepped on Zhang Shumo's head and raised his knife to slash at his neck.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, everyone didn't have time to exclaim, and at this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed, and the soldier also stopped, and fell to the ground in the next second.
At this time, everyone saw that the black shadow turned out to be Wang Hu, and Wang Hu also exhaled loudly, and then shouted excitedly: "It turns out that killing people is this feeling!" ”
When Zhang Shumo got up, he found that Lou Guang had also followed, so he hurriedly took a few people to a safe place. At this time, another wave of enemy troops climbed the wall and saw Zhang Shumo and his party rushing over directly.
Zhang Shumo instinctively wanted to protect everyone behind him, but was rejected by Lou Guang. But Jingguo's soldiers didn't care so much, and killed the two of them.
At this time, there was a sudden violent cry not far away, and a fierce woman rushed over: "Whoever dares to touch a single hair of his hair, I will crush your bones and scatter ashes!" ”
