Not to mention that Zhong Yunzhang hurried back to Xingwangfu to report to Emperor Liu Sheng, and then look at the city of Shaozhou.
Since yesterday afternoon, the 5ooo soldiers and horses led by Liu Yanzhen, the vanguard of Li Tang's front, were killed in Sixing and returned defeated. Cha Wenhui was furious when he heard the report, so he arrested Liu Yanzhen at that time, and then wrote a chapter for Li Jing to impeach Liu Yanzhen. For the sake of prudence, he stationed his army in the wilderness of the town of Lishixing and 1o li. And sent spies to check whether there was an ambush of the Han army in the nearby valley, and at the same time strictly ordered Lu Jiang, who was resting in Xiongzhou, to immediately assist the new Xiongzhou assassin Shi to defend.
After a period of busy chickens and dogs jumping inside and outside the army, Cha Wenhui realized that he was too worried, the Han army took advantage and ran, not the kind of guy who got cheap and behaved, the main force of the Han army had given up Shixing Town, and completely retreated to Shaozhou City. Cha Wenhui relieved himself and ordered the three armies to march together. In the town of Sixing, Cha Wenhui summoned the generals, and he asked: "Generals, how do the soldiers of the two Japanese armies know about elephants?" ”
In the past two days, in addition to sending people to investigate, Cha Wenhui has spent great efforts to explain to the whole army what an elephant is, telling everyone that an elephant is a paper tiger and that it is afraid of fire. In the future, if you encounter a war elephant, you will release rockets to deal with it. This theory of dealing with elephants is the way to go, but without practice, no one dares to guarantee the ticket. When the generals in the army saw Cha Wenhui asking, they looked at each other at the moment, and finally someone prevaricated and said: "Supervisor Army, we have sent someone to explain to the sergeants according to your method. ”
This is evasive and ambiguous. However, Cha Wenhui didn't seem to hear the trickiness, he nodded, pointed to the map and said, "Generals, please see, this is the topographic map of Shaozhou." There is a river on the north side of Shaozhou, called Xishui, which passes around the northeast corner of Shaozhou, forming a natural moat for Shaozhou, if our army attacks head-on, I am afraid it will not be easy. However, there is a mountain in the west of Shaozhou, called Yinshan, and there is also a mountain in the east of Shaozhou, called Yushan, these two mountains are next to Shaozhou, if our army can capture one of them, the situation in Shaozhou City will be clear at a glance, if we take local materials, set up a stone thrower, and attack Shaozhou day and night, then Shaozhou will be much easier to break. Do you know what I mean? ”
Seeing that everyone nodded, Cha Wenhui asked again: "Who wants to be the striker?" For my Datang to conquer Shaozhou? ”
On the one hand, the reason for Liu Yanzhen's defeat was that he underestimated the enemy and did not send scouts to search carefully; On the other hand, it is also because ** does not know elephants, and he panicked for a while, but this also reflects the combat effectiveness of the Han army to a certain extent. Since Yinshan and Yushan are so important, how could Li Wu, the commander of the Han army, be defenseless at all. The reckless Liu Yanzhen was unlucky, and the rest of the people had Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, and no one was willing to take this head work for the time being, and no one wanted to gnaw on this hard bone.
Cha Wenhui sneered and said: "The rewards and punishments of this prison army are clear, and those who have merit are rewarded, and those who have been punished. Those who conquer the Jade Mountain and the Silver Mountain will be promoted to one level and rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. ”
With the reward, everyone's mood improved a little, and Yao Feng, the Marquis of Qianzhou, hesitated for a moment, stood up and said: "The last general is not talented, and he is willing to attack Yushan." ”
Qianzhou Yingtun Yu Hou Zu Quanen stood up and said: "The last general is willing to lead his troops to attack Yinshan. ”
Cha Wenhui smiled slightly and said, "The two of you each take 5ooo men and horses to attack Jade Mountain and Silver Mountain." He Jingzhu: I will give you 20,000 horses, and you will personally command the feint attack on Shaozhou, so that the soldiers and horses of Shaozhou cannot go out of the city to rescue. The main force of the supervising army responded in the rear. With three strands, Shaozhou can be broken. ”
"Woo." The horn sounded.
He Jingzhu, as the main force of the feint, took the lead in attacking Shaozhou. Swordmen, shields, and archers lined up in phalanxes on either side, and in the center were groups of majestic sergeants, laboriously pushing huge stone throwers and crossbow beds. About two or three hundred meters away from Shaozhou City, they stopped the stone thrower, put stones the size of a face plate, and launched an attack on Shaozhou City. The huge stone was thrown high in the air, and flew towards the Shaozhou city wall, with a "bang", some fell on the city tower, and smashed the city tower out of a big pit, and some of the stamina was insufficient, and fell into the stream with a "poof", causing a huge splash of one meter high. The Han army on the tower of the city also fought back with a stone thrower.
This stone throwing machine looks very powerful, but unfortunately, the number is too small, but more than ten planes, can not form a scale firepower, and it is also easy to damage, after a short time, there are already a few stone throwing machines The range is getting shorter and shorter. At this time, He Jingzhu waved his big hand, the war drum of "dong dong dong" sounded, and the sword and shield hand raised his shield and slowly walked towards the city gate. Another group of sergeants, with stones in their hands and bags of earth on their shoulders, rushed to the moat from the gap between the phalanx and the stone throwers. As the distance approached, the stones thrown by the Han army gradually waved, and the big stones fell on the road of progress, or smashed out of a big pit to block the progress, or hit the soldiers. At the battlement of the city tower, there were also suddenly, and many more archers came out, and the "whoosh" arrows rained like springs, shooting towards the ** volley.
As the distance approached, the phalanx also began to shoot arrows at the city tower, but the more lethal to the Han army was the crossbow bed hidden in the phalanx, and with a "whoosh" sound, dozens of crossbow arrows quickly shot into the air, forming a parabolic trajectory, and flew towards the Han army on the city tower.
Seeing the sergeants in charge of filling the moat, some of them had already completed their tasks and ran back. The spear in He Jingzhu's hand was raised, and he shouted: "Charge!" ”
The sound of the war drums became louder and louder, and the sound of shouting and killing was exposed in unison in the phalanx, and they no longer slowly advanced step by step, but suddenly raised the cloud ladder hidden in the formation, and quickly charged towards the city wall.
At the same time, ** crossed the stream, came to the foot of the Silver Mountain, and launched an attack on the Silver Mountain. These two mountains are steep and wooded, and there is no obvious road, but I faintly see that there is a flat land halfway up the mountainside, made in the shape of a mountain gate, and there are faintly some things like a stone thrower.
**Along the mountain, it is difficult to charge upward, and in the depths of the forest, there are constantly bows and arrows shooting, which makes **tired of coping. I wanted to stop and fight back, but I saw that the shadows in the forest were not clear to see, if I didn't care about it, I walked up with the shield, the grass and vines in the forest were very mixed with my feet, it was inconvenient to walk, and I didn't pay attention, and the shield was in the wrong position, and there were bows and arrows. What's even more miserable is that there are traps in this forest. If you are not careful, you will fall into the trap, and the end will be a cold heart. ** Screams incessantly. Seeing that things were not good, Zu Quanen immediately made a decision, ordered the army to withdraw, and then fired rockets into the forest, hoping to set a fire and burn the Han army to death. This is the weather in September, the grass in the forest is garcinia cambogia, and some leaves are falling, and it only takes a while to "crackle" and catch fire. At this time, the northwest wind is blowing, the fire borrows the wind, and it doesn't take much effort, and the whole silver mountain is red, and it looks like a silver mountain from a distance, but like a gold mountain.
At the foot of the silver mountain, Zu Quanen raised his head, triumphant, ready to wait for the fire to stop and launch an offensive. But looking at the fire, the more it burns, the more it burns, the more it burns, and it can't stop every day or two. He regretted it a little, He Jingzhu made a feint under Shaozhou City, and this feint attack couldn't be a continuous attack for a day or two. He sent someone to report to Cha Wenhui.
The offensive on the Yinshan side seems to be going well, but the Yushan side is much more miserable. There is no road over there, and there is only one road on this side. **Attack along the mountain road to the mountain, walk to the small halfway up the mountain, you see the rolling stones and sassals in front of you, and roll down one after another, the mountain road is narrow and steep, and there is no landing in all directions, and suddenly you see a carriage-sized stone rolling down in front of you, and this ** reacts quickly and immediately throws away the weapon, turns around and runs; The slow reaction had to take a knife and gun to try to resist the stone, the stone did not know from what height it rolled down, the force was heavy, the degree was fast, especially if the man could withstand it; There are also some people who are so frightened that they jump off the cliff on one side, and they are all dead on the road.
Yao Feng watched at the bottom of the mountain for a long time, dumbfounded, just now with a big stone, there were already one hundred and eighty people hanging on his side, this is still his own caution, seeing that the mountain road is unguarded, he sent two teams of soldiers up to feel the situation. But now, the situation is known, so you can still send someone up, you go halfway up the mountain, he puts stones, no one sees one, he hangs up more than half of it. He sighed, and hurriedly sent someone to check Wenhui's report. This place is not something that people can attack, and this big rock keeps gurgling downwards, and unless you have the strength to pick them up one by one and throw them into the cliff on the side, you can't attack it.
"Stupid!" Cha Wenhui, who was sitting in Shixing Town, heard about the progress of the three troops, and he couldn't help but curse angrily. Those who have a road can't attack it, and the fire that sets fire is too big. At this time, He Jingzhu sent someone to report: "Marshal, supervise the army." The stream under Shaozhou City has been filled by us, and General He has already urged his troops to attack Shaozhou City. Master He ordered me to ask the prison army for orders, I don't know when, I can restrain the army? ”
Cha Wenhui was stunned, he didn't expect this stream to be filled so easily, he asked, "How are the casualties of our army?" ”
"Marshal, the resistance of the Han army is not very fierce, our army has rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and now it is attacking the city with a ladder?"
"Oh, isn't the Han army in Shaozhou a lack of military strength?" Cha Wenhui was happy in his heart, now He Jingzhu's department is only 20,000 people, if he throws all the remaining 50,000 main forces into it, will he be able to change the situation of the battle and attack Shaozhou in one fell swoop? Shaozhou is broken, Yinshan and Yushan have no support points. He turned his head and asked Bian Bodhisattva on the side: "Bian Dashuai, the stream has been filled, why don't we devote all our strength to attack Shaozhou and take Shaozhou in one fell swoop?" ”
Bian Bodhisattva didn't care and was about to speak.
A person standing at the tent door suddenly said: "Marshal, supervising the army, I'm afraid this is the Han army's trick to lure the enemy." ”
Cha Wenhui was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and the person who spoke was Lu Jiang, who had just arrived from Xiongzhou.
