Chapter 0161: Xianbei Siege
After a few days, Bao Hong went out day and night, and rarely saw others again, although Zheng Xuan felt a little strange, but he was gentle, and he also trusted Bao Hong, so he didn't say much, and Zhang Xu also cooperated with many soldiers to start the great cause of defending the city, under his proposal, the generals were confident skyrocketing, but some looked forward to the Xianbei army coming.
They really wanted to kill more Xianbei people to sacrifice Zhang Gong's spirit in the sky.
In the whole Guzang County, it is a hot fire, many people are not angry because Zheng Xuan wants to bother them, on the contrary, they are very happy to be able to help the Han army, young and middle-aged people are moving materials everywhere, old and young women and children are taking care of them, and the soldiers are also in high spirits, following Bao Hong to practice day and night, although Bao Hong always stands far away from them.
Zhang Xu stretched his waist and slowly walked out of the courtyard, all the way, were hard-working people, Zhang Xu looked at them, his face was calm, suddenly, he was stunned, looking at a figure in the distance, Zheng Xuan was wearing short clothes, holding a big stone in both hands, walking towards the city wall with difficulty, tired, he stopped and wiped his sweat, saw Zhang Xu, smiled, and shouted: "Youzhen!" Let's help! ”
Zhang Xu walked to Zheng Xuan's side a little reluctantly, helped him start to carry the stones, he said helplessly: "Zheng Gong, you are a Confucian, why is this so", Zheng Xuan wiped the sweat on his forehead, tears soaked his clothes, he ignored it at all, and said with a smile: "Those who go to the king's affairs, how can you talk about your background?" He struggled to push the stone all the way to the city wall.
Seeing Zhang Xu, who was out of breath, laughed and said, "You take a break for the time being, I have to come a few more times!" ”
Seeing Zheng Xuan, who was running forward without the slightest Confucian majesty, for some reason, Zhang Xu was always a little strange in his heart, he looked around again, was surprised, and shouted: "Bao Sima, why do you also want to carry it?" Bao Hong frowned, looking extremely gloomy, he was wearing a helmet at the moment, protecting himself tightly, and even attracted the ridicule of some border soldiers.
But he didn't pay attention to it, he was still helping the people to transport the stones at the moment, hearing Zhang Xu's voice, Bao Hong raised his head, looked at him, looked at him, looked a little disdainful, shook his head, did not speak, and continued to start moving, and carried the stones to the city wall, Bao Sima looked at the city wall and roared: "The people have worked so hard for us!" How dare they commit adultery? Keep up the drill!! ”
Zhang Xu watched silently.
After three or four days, the Xianbei army scattered and plundered was gathered outside Guzang County, Tan Shihuai led the most elite main army, a total of 40,000 knights, known as 200,000 to the outside world, slowly approaching Guzang County from four directions, in two days, the water surrounding Guzang County was impassable, and the guards of the city naturally soon discovered these armies, because the surrounding trees were cut down at Zhang Xu's suggestion.
The wooden blocks were brought back to the city walls and used as a weapon to defend the city.
Zheng Xuan, Bao Hong, Zhang Xu and others hurriedly went up the city wall and looked out.
The Xianbei army is endless, the sound of horses' hooves is overwhelming, and the soldiers are a little panicked, but the soldiers of the Northern Army, their faces are resolute, and there is only burning hatred in their eyes, Bao Hong looked at the soldiers around him, personally picked up the strong crossbow, stood beside the banner of the city wall, and opened the strong crossbow towards the enemy, making a posture of fighting to the death, and the faces of the soldiers gradually calmed down.
Tan Shihuai was in the army, looking at this strong city wall from afar, and after looking at it for a while, he said to the Sifu beside him: "The whole army will rest for a day, make siege weapons, and tomorrow, I will sit in Guzang City and drink!" He immediately summoned the small chiefs of all sides and asked them to cut down trees from all sides, so that the slaves could make siege weapons.
These little leaders went out, and it didn't take long for them to return, and reported that there were no trees around, and even some houses and buildings had been burned down and demolished, and he was terrified, and he vaguely felt that Tanshi Huai seemed to have the purpose of getting rid of him and clearing the obstacles for Helian, which he also saw from Tanshi Huai sitting and watching the death of Ji Lijieruo and Yi Erzhuo, and the demise of the elite.
He also has more than 10,000 elite troops under his account, but he knows that he is not the opponent of Tanshi Huai at all, and all he can do is to successfully complete Tanshi Huai's requirements and not let him catch his handle.
scolded viciously, "Treacherous thief!" He asked the soldiers to dismantle the carriages and ox carts that accompanied the army, and personally went to the distance to look for wood, and worked for a whole day before he prepared the siege equipment, and at night, the Xianbei army was resting in peace, waiting for tomorrow's attack, of course, they were also ready to prevent the Han thieves from raiding, and there were a large number of soldiers of the northern army in this county.
Unlike the rest of the counties, they need to be on the lookout at all times.
Watching the night end, Zhang Xu stood at the head of the city, a little gloomy observation of the Xianbei army, looked at the sergeants around him, waved his hand, and walked down the city wall, those sergeants held wooden barrels in their hands, there was a foul smell from them, they raised the wooden barrel, and then sprinkled it outside, not long after, one bucket after another, not long after, the surrounding area was sprinkled with fishy horses.
After a while, suddenly, the horses in the Xianbei army opened their eyes one after another, a little restless, and the groom who was watching these horses was also a little strange, got up to appease the horses, and after a while, the fierce horses suddenly neighed, and their hooves rubbed the ground uneasily, extremely irritable, and the horses seemed to get the information, they neighed and screamed, restless.
If it weren't for the reins to bind them, I was afraid that they were about to rush out, the neighing of tens of thousands of horses made the entire Xianbei army suddenly confused, everyone got up one after another, thinking that something was wrong, even the sandalwood locust also quickly woke up, walked out of the camp, the horses neighed in unison, such a strange phenomenon, so that many Xianbei people knelt on the ground, muttering something.
Tan Shi Huai looked at it for a moment, and stood beside him, looking a little uneasy, Tan Shi Huai sniffed it, and said disdainfully: "It's just a small skill of carving insects, let the soldiers sleep in peace!" He nodded a little confusedly, Zhang Xu was in the city, listening to the bursts of hissing, grinning, and sleeping peacefully, and the Xianbei people were a little miserable, they were simply disturbed by the anxious hissing sound and were not sleepy at all.
It is also a battle-hardened soldier like Tanshi Huai who can rest with peace of mind.
The horse neighed until it was exhausted, and the Xianbei people were tortured by it for a night, and Tanshi Huai also secretly thought to himself, should he be like the Han people in the future, and castrate the war horses?
However, they have always been dismounted for the people, on the horse for the pawn, these horses are the personal belongings of these Xianbei people, after the battle to breed, but also for a living, if the order castration, I am afraid that these soldiers will be fully opposed, so the gains outweigh the losses, forget it, it is just a small skill of carving insects, and when I capture this city, I will definitely catch the traitor who uses this strategy!
Then tie him to a pillar and make the warriors beat gongs and drums in his ears alternately!!
Day and night!!
