Chapter 303: Last Stand
"How about Shuji?"
Zhang Fei hurriedly asked when he saw the letter sent by the messenger.
Wang Xiu said: "Mixed blessings, Zhang Bao and Ma Yuanyi successfully killed Wei Feng, the so-called general of Chen Han, and also strangled most of the soldiers and horses led by him.
But the west bank was also taken by the other side, and the spare pontoon bridge was gone. ”
Good news not bad!
"This time, we and Chen South Korea are both fighting against the water! It's okay, then it depends on who can fight better. Zhang Fei just sighed slightly, and immediately revealed a higher fighting spirit.
Although the pontoon bridge is gone, the corresponding back road of Chen South Korea has also been cut off.
According to Wang Xiu's meaning, he and Zhang Fei continued to retreat westward with 3,000 people, leading Yuan Jin and Er Luo and others to pursue step by step, burning the cities of Chen Han again and again, and successfully angered the bull of Chen Han's army.
Deputy Commander Zhu Ling led 4,000 people to pretend to set fire to Yongsan Castle, and then extinguished the fire in the city after the Korean army, and then re-guarded the city.
So after retreating to Daqiu, Zhang Fei and Wang Xiu did not retreat.
It took several hours for Yuan Jin and Er Luo and others to catch up.
In fact, they should have been able to catch up a long time ago.
Wang Xiu exchanged the tired army of 4,000 who had driven it for a day and a night to Zhu Ling, and he led the 2,000 physically energetic troops and fought a small ambush.
After the fight, he will leave, he will never love to fight, and he is really fast when he runs, and the tired army of Chen Han will naturally not be able to catch up with them.
After being ambushed, Yuan Jin and Er Luo became much more cautious.
Chased all the way to the alert, which was a lot slower.
"It is impossible for the Han army to retreat, I expect that Wang Xiu and Zhang Fei will fight with us here, and we will also start building siege equipment, slowly depleting their sharpness and depleting their grain and grass." Yuan Jin said confidently.
Erluo said: "Okay! As long as they can't run away, then we will consume until they run out of food and fight to the death with us, or consume until the Northern Yuan of Huanghai County is captured, and the army will be killed from the west bank of the Luodong River, and together we will encircle and suppress this Han army! ”
There was always calm before the big war.
The two sides did not declare war, there were no provocations of war.
A day later!
The 50,000-strong army of Tatsunak began to attack the city, and they built simple siege equipment, lifted the ladder and began to charge.
Ogaord Castle is a small city, the city is not high, and when a ladder is placed on the wall, the logs at both ends of the ladder exceed the wall stacks.
Along the ladder, as long as you struggle to climb a few sections, a nimble person can jump up the city wall with one leap.
So this is also one of the reasons why Erluo and others are willing to attack the city.
Siege warfare, although ten times as much as the enemy, but the cost is also enormous.
In general, they did not want to attack the Han army defending the city.
The bravery of the Han army is coupled with the sharpness of the equipment, and they have already seen it.
But they must fight Daqiu City, because if they take here, they will be able to drive all the Han troops into Weiguan City.
In this way, the Han army can be surrounded more encrypted.
The last way for the Han army to make a bamboo raft and flee downstream from the Luodong River.
So this is a battle they are going to fight.
Because it is not only a blockade of the Han army, but also a battle that proves the morale of the Korean soldiers and boosts morale.
No matter what the price is, as long as this battle is won, the real Chen Han can be regarded as a rebirth of Nirvana and qualified to become stronger.
"Kill!"
Countless Chen Korean soldiers rushed to Daqiu City, and countless ladders were erected on the wall, densely packed with people, and they climbed up one by one.
Zhang Fei and the others continued to slash, killing the Korean people continuously, countless boulders were thrown down, and arrows from both sides flew around.
People kept falling, shouting and fighting.
The soldiers of Chen Korea fought very bravely in this wave, climbing the city wall again and again to fight with the Han army, but the Han army was more brave and killed the Chen Korean soldiers who rushed up again and again.
Zhang Fei rushed around on the city wall, and the snake spear kept dancing, killing it so happily.
Since Jinchen Korea, he has not fought a few battles happily, let alone killed anyone.
Especially this kind of constant popping up, let you stab, let you sweep, and never finish killing, it is even more satisfying to Zhang Fei.
From the bottom of his heart, from his blood, he was a belligerent man.
"Puff ......!"
People kept falling, whether it was at the foot of the city wall or at the head of the city wall, there were countless corpses, and rivers of blood flowed.
Erluo and a minister of civil and military affairs were distressed to see it.
A lot of people died, two thousand, five thousand, eight thousand, and the numbers kept increasing.
At this time, there is no need for a ladder, and you can go up to the city wall directly along the corpse mountain, which takes an hour and a half.
Both sides are starting to weaken a bit.
Tatsu Korea, in particular, is starting to collapse a bit.
The feet were full of their gangs, and they were all the corpses of the Korean soldiers.
"King, can you stop for a while, the soldiers seem to be tired." A civil official of Chen's Republic of Korea suggested.
Er Luo was a little moved, but Yuan Jin said: "The king must not stop, although we have lost almost 10,000 people, but Zhang Fei and Wang Xiu's Han army has almost 1,000 casualties, and there are not many of his generals left, and they are about to collapse from exhaustion, and we can replace the troops who did not participate in the battle behind, and take turns to attack, at most it will only take an hour, no, half an hour, and the Han army in the city will not be able to support it." ”
"Good! Since Yuan Gongzi said it, then in the attack for an hour, be sure to take Daqiu City, it is best to kill Zhang Fei and Wang Xiu! Erluo also gritted his teeth, and his eyes were red at this time.
For the sake of Wang Tu's hegemony, everything is worth it.
As Yuan Jin said, there are already 50,000 people on the side, and they can keep rotating troops to attack, but there are only so many non-armies, and they will be gone after the battle.
The more time passed, the more tired the Han army became, and the weaker its combat effectiveness became.
If you continue to do it like this, you can not only consume the Han army, but also train the soldiers.
The 50,000 army is all rotated once, and they have all gone through the experience of bloody battles, even if there are only 30,000 left in the end, it is still a crack soldier.
"Come on! Haha, it's good to come, your grandfather Zhang Fei is worried that he hasn't killed enough! Seeing that the soldiers of Shangchen Korea were still rushing under the city, Zhang Fei roared and continued to wave the snake spear, continuing to fight like a perpetual motion machine.
Wang Xiu was in the middle of the dispatch, and he also divided the three thousand people into several batches early, and the batches were replaced in the city, which did not mean that there was no rest.
It's just that all the divisions have been rotated countless times, and the fighting is quite hard, and there are many casualties.
There are only 1,000 elite officers and soldiers of the real Fourth Army Commander, and the other 3,000 are Zhang Bao's old Yellow Turban Division.
The combat effectiveness is still a little worse.
Moreover, about 1,000 people were killed in the battle.
However, if you play with your life and move seriously, the remaining 2,000 people will not be bad.
"Report! Good news, General Zhang Bao, led 3,000 soldiers to arrive! ”
Hearing this, Wang Xiu was relieved, and looked at the Chen Korean soldiers who were still rushing up in the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, Wang Xiu said: "Let them rest for two moments first, and then they will replace Yide them!" ”
Backup is coming!
The soldiers of the Han army in the city burst out with more powerful combat effectiveness, and suddenly fought more vigorously.
Soon two o'clock came, Zhang Bao took over the city defense, and his subordinates rushed to the front with a three-pointed and two-edged knife, taking over Zhang Fei's heavy responsibility, and Zhang Bao took over Wang Xiu's command and dispatch power.
Wang Xiu and Zhang Fei were able to rest.
The new 3,000 soldiers defending the city are another new round of fighting.
Half an hour later, Er Luo and the others saw that the Han army in the city was still as brave as ever, without the slightest fatigue, and the combat effectiveness had not weakened, and they began to look solemn one by one.
Er Luo asked Yuan Jin: "Yuan Gongzi, are these Han troops wrong!" ”
Yuan Jin thought for a moment and replied: "What the king said is reasonable, it seems that Wang Xiu and others have mobilized the Han army in Weiguan City, and the king has ordered the troops to retreat, and they will fight here today!" ”
"Mingjin retreats!"
The golden sound of the bell sounded, and the soldiers of the Chen Han who were attacking were all relieved and retreated like a tide.
After collecting the troops and returning to the camp, Er Rome asked the people: "How much did our army lose in the siege today?" ”
That's what he cares about the most.
The subordinates summed up their losses and replied: "Back to the king, our army has suffered about 12,000 casualties!" ”
The amount is still not small, which is a fifth.
After a little muttering, Er Luo said to Yuan Jin: "Yuan Gongzi, they can't fight like this, although the city of Daqiu is short, but if it continues to fight like this, our army will have no soldiers available in a few days." ”
Yuan Jin said: "King, although we have lost 10,000 people, but I speculate that Wang Xiu and Zhang Fei also lost at least 2,000, even if he transferred troops from Weiguan City, but his manpower is also limited, tomorrow is an attack, Daqiu will be broken, if you can't take it, then you can only inform Wei Feng that they are tightly sealed off the Luodong River, and the Han army cannot be allowed to slip away from the waterway." ”
"Okay! Attack once tomorrow. "It's okay not to mention Wei Feng, as soon as he mentions him, Er Luo always has a feeling of unsteadiness in his heart, why hasn't the latest news been sent over there, could it be that something happened over there!
There is a phenomenon in later generations called Murphy's Law, which is that the more you are afraid of what will happen, the more it will happen!
As a result, in the middle of the night, Erro was awakened by his men.
Er Luo was very unhappy, these days with the Han army fighting spirit, from Ningshan to Daqiu, turned to fight hundreds of miles, the carriage and horses were tired, and the city was attacked for half a day during the day, the body was extremely nervous, just relaxed, was disturbed by someone when he was falling asleep, and everyone had a sense of getting up.
"Tell me something!" Erro warned with extreme displeasure that if it wasn't a big deal, he would pull out the person who disturbed him and punish him severely.
"The king, the general is dead!" The person who reported the news said truthfully.
"What? You're saying it again, who died? Erluo suddenly woke up, suddenly unconscious, his heart was beating faster inexplicably, and his blood was accelerating.
The messenger said again: "Great king, the great general is dead in battle!" He was killed by the Han army, the Han army was extremely cunning, made a light and a dark pontoon bridge on the Luodong River, and after we found the Han people hiding in the water, the general personally took a bamboo raft to lure the main force of the Han army in the west by night attack, and finally the general was outnumbered and killed, but we successfully captured the west bank and cut off the Han people's spare pontoon bridge. ”
