"Knock knock knock. The sound of war drums sounded at the north gate of Rongzhou.

On the north wall of Rongzhou, less than two miles, there were more than 100 columns of Han troops charging forward, and the people in the front, all carrying some dirt bags, rushed to the moat desperately under the urging of war drums.

Fortunately, the Chu army has been tightly defending in the four cities, and the main force of the Han army appeared at the north gate not long after, and was presented by the soldiers defending the city. They also hurriedly beat drums and trumpets to remind their comrades-in-arms that there was an enemy attack. In the face of the charge of the Han army, the archery of the Chu army sergeant, the ballista of the ballista, and the trebuchet of the trebuchet, although the soldiers pressed the border, these people still took their duties in an orderly manner.

In the wilderness outside the north city gate, the black pressure was full of sergeants of the Han army. Some people were carrying shields, some were carrying guns, some were carrying ladders, some were pushing improvised carts, and some were in reserve, quietly waiting for the commander's order to charge.

In the face of the intensive charging Han army, the Chu army on the city tower did not even need to aim, the trebuchet attacked the farthest, and the big stones were thrown high, and then fell in a parabolic shape, and smashed on the people's heads, which was the peach blossoms, and the smashed on the people was hammered and broken. Although it was only a big rock, it would not explode, and the number of people killed and injured was not large, but these people died in a miserable state, which invisibly extinguished the will of many soldiers to fight.

Closer to the wall, the ballista range. This ballista is based on crossbow arrows, and can shoot more than 20 crossbow arrows at the same time, and try their best. However, compared to stones, this crossbow arrow is much lighter after all, and many experienced sergeants, while charging, wielding weapons, can also knock a lot of arrows off for a while, temporarily protecting themselves.

Closer is the attack range of the bow and arrow, not only the soldiers on the city can shoot the soldiers under the city, the city is within the range of the bow and arrow, there are several wooden cards staggered before and after, there is more than one person high, and there are crossbowmen of the Han army in the gap between the wooden cards, which are casting cold arrows on the defenders of the city. The moat has been filled, and more than 5o ladders have been erected in front of the city, and under the leadership of a few brave sergeants, many people have steel knives in their mouths and hold the ladders with both hands, like monkeys, climbing up quickly. Most of the attention of the Chu army in the city was attracted by these people, so there were not many Chu soldiers who used bows and arrows to sneak attack from afar. This section has become the best place for the army under the city to attack the defenders of the city from a distance.

Further ahead, there is the real purgatory on earth, the battlefield of the sea of blood. The sword and shield bearers held their shields high in both hands to form a phalanx around the foot of the ladder, holding the ladder tightly. The defenders of the city would not easily let the Han army climb the city wall, they moved the rolling stones and trees from the inner wall, some of them smashed towards the Han army who were climbing the ladder, and some of them threw directly on the shield of the sword and shield hand, hoping to smash all the sword and shield hand to death, and to knock down the cloud ladder.

Under the city gate, the Han sergeant pushed a wooden frame 3 meters wide and two meters high to rush to the city gate, under the wooden shelf, there was a pair of sergeants, tightly holding a log with a diameter of thirty or forty millimeters, playing a trumpet, rhythmically, "dong dong", slamming straight into the city gate, in a vain attempt to break open the city gate and kill into the city. This wooden frame looks vulgar, but I didn't expect it to be very strong. The Chu army smashed the big stones down the wooden shelf, and the wooden shelf only shook twice, but there was no deformation in the slightest.

The Chu army came ruthlessly, one stone was not good, so it was seven or eight pieces long, and the wooden frame still did not move. At this time, Zhou Xingfeng, the guard general of Rongzhou, had already done it, his eyes rolled, and he hurriedly replaced people to quickly set up a cauldron in the city, boiled hot oil, and ordered someone to prepare torches.

After a while, light smoke rises from the pan and hot oil rolls over. Zhou Xingfeng ordered people to use a small pot and a big scoop. Rushing upstairs, he poured hot oil on the wooden shelves. The wooden shelves are sturdy, but they are not completely sealed. One or two hundred degrees of hot oil flowed down the gap between the wooden shelves, dripping on the heads, shoulders, necks, and hands of the Han soldiers, and suddenly there was a smell of burnt meat, and then the sergeants under the wooden shelves screamed again and again. A few of them threw away the logs, and they ran outside without hesitation. More people were under the supervision of the officers, and although the burns were quite serious, they could only grit their teeth and persevere. It's a pity that it was only a moment's work, and I didn't know that it was the immoral ghost on the city tower, so he threw down a torch. The wood stained with hot oil caught fire when it met the torches. The fire is all the way to the sturdy wooden shelf. Under the wooden shelves, a few pieces of wood that caught fire fell, and a few large stones fell, and many people were either burned to death or stoned to death. The living sergeant, together with the officer, threw down the log and began to run backwards.

The Chu army could rush the car with hot oil. Naturally, he also thought of pouring hot oil on the sword and shield hands who guarded the ladder. The shields of the Han army were all wooden, and they were poured with oil. The sword and shield bearers abandoned their shields and retreated.

The first wave of the offensive failed.

Outside the north gate, dead bodies were everywhere, rivers of blood flowed, and gunpowder smoke billowed out. Watching the Han army retreat, the Chu army let out a sigh of relief. At this time, the breeze was blowing, accompanied by the smell of meat, and some recruits couldn't help but vomit.

Under the banner of the "Wu" word battle of Douda, Ning Yuan Jiedu made Wu Huaien look solemn, looking at Rongzhou City, which was still in his hands yesterday. In the attack just now, the sergeant could not be said to be unproductive, and the offensive could not be said to be not sharp. It's a pity that no one even climbed the city wall. Wu Huaien glanced at it fiercely, and the battle flag with the word "Chu" fluttering high above Rongzhou City, said viciously: "Order, the first person to climb the city tower will be rewarded with a thousand strings, and the official will be promoted to two levels." The three armies were ordered to attack again. ”

The attack at the east gate ended quickly. But the north gate lasted from the afternoon to dusk, and Wu Huaien had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

Looking at the immovable Rongzhou City, Wu Huaien's heart was heavy, after such a fierce battle today, the Chu army in Rongzhou did not have any signs of defeat, and it seemed that there were many troops in the city. Rongzhou, as the seat of the Ningyuan Jiedu Embassy, has a lot of military rations and property stored in it, if the Chu army only holds the city, then it will be much more difficult to take Rongzhou. The only consolation is that the Chu army is gathered in Rongzhou, so Xiuzhou and other places must still be in the hands of the Han army.

After encamping ten miles outside the north city of Rongzhou, Wu Huaien made a rough calculation, this afternoon's attack, the casualties must have exceeded 5ooo people, as the besieging party, his own army has no advantage in numbers, only by mobilizing all the troops of the Ningyuan Jiedu Embassy can we fight more and fight less, and can we recover Rongzhou. He immediately sent his own guards, took his own edict and official documents, passed on Xiuzhou, Laozhou, Dangzhou and other places, secretly ordered the assassination history of these states and counties, and immediately mobilized all the troops and gathered under the city of Rongzhou. Attack together.

After beating away the sergeants who transferred the troops, Wu Huaien gathered the generals again and arranged the camp defense. In the first battle of the army, we must beware of the sneak attack of the Chu army at night. But as soon as he finished saying this, the generals cried bitterly. Wu Huaien is standing and talking without backache, he rides all the way, and his spirit is still good. However, the sergeants of the Han army were in the army for two days, and after two hours of fighting in the afternoon, they were already exhausted, and after setting up camp, they ate something indiscriminately and fell asleep one by one. The sergeant was exhausted to the extreme, if he still heard the war drums of the Chu army, he immediately got up and prepared to defend, if the Chu army still did not come to sneak attack, but only harassed, maybe it would immediately provoke a military mutiny.

After listening to the complaints of the generals, Wu Huaien thought about it, now that the main force of the Chu army is in the city, there will be only a small force of less than a thousand people behind the Han army, which will not play a big role. Wu Huaien finally ordered to send more spies to carefully check the situation in Rongzhou City, if there is a Chu army out of the city, it must be a sneak attack, if not, then there is no need to be guarded.

Just entered the time (ten o'clock in the evening), the Han army soldiers had just entered the dream, and suddenly heard "Knock knock knock... Although there was no order from the officer, many people got up in a panic, held weapons, and ran outside the camp, but saw the crescent moon hanging high, the stars twinkling, the cool breeze, and the sound of war drums shaking the heavens and the earth, but unfortunately in the dark night, I didn't know where the enemy was. The drums of war beat for a quarter of an hour before they stopped.

It turned out to be thunder again, not rain. Only the sound of drums was heard, but there was no trace of the Chu army.

The sergeants scolded and returned to the camp and went back to sleep. Another half an hour passed, "Knock knock knock... "There was another beat of war drums, and this time there were far fewer sergeants. Many Han soldiers just turned over on the bed and continued to sleep, and they didn't even take this sneak attack on the war drum seriously.

When the war drums beat again.

Wu Huaien woke up from his dream, he came back to his senses, walked out of the tent in his clothes, and asked the guard: "Is there news from the spies, has the Chu army in Rongzhou left the city?" ”

"Greeting, the spies report, the four cities are quiet, and no one is out of the city."

Wu Huaien nodded, ready to return to the account and continue to rest. He thought that the army established in Rongzhou was the main force of the Chu army, and the harassment troops outside the city were harassing troops, but unfortunately, he didn't expect that there were only 8ooo Chu troops in the city, but there were nearly 20,000 Chu troops in ambush outside the city、、。 Waiting ...

"Kill!"

"Rush!"

Suddenly, a shout of killing came from outside the camp gate. At the gate of the camp, the torches are bright, but in the middle of the night, after all, the light is not far away. Outside, there was a black rumbling and I couldn't see anything clearly. Wu Huaien shook his head, this Chu army's tired tactics are too frequent, isn't it obvious that there are no three hundred taels of silver here.

He turned around and walked, and before he could reach his tent, he heard a terrible scream, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. He looked back and saw that the sergeant on the high arrow tower at the gate was no longer there.

"Kill!" A burst of heavy drinking, coming from around the camp gate, accompanied by the sound of shouting and killing, is a burst of hurried footsteps... Sneak attack...

In the middle of May of the second year of the Great Jin Dynasty, Wu Huaien was attacked by the Chu army at night under the city of Rongzhou, 30,000 troops, and the whole army was annihilated, and the next day, the Chu army successively defeated the reinforcements from Xiuzhou and other places who came to the rescue, and took advantage of the situation to capture Xiuzhou and other places. It was like a dagger stuck in Nanhan's chest. The Chu army occupied Rongzhou, and to the east could be together with Wuzhou, and the army encircled and sealed the state; To the west, together with Guizhou Road, you can attack the Jianwu Jiedu envoy of the Southern Han Dynasty. The situation in Lingnan has changed dramatically.

The victory of Rongzhou reached Changsha, and Ma Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the successive battles in Lingnan, and Ma Yun's position as the king of Chu were also becoming more and more consolidated.

In June, the Great Jin Emperor Shi Chonggui sent an envoy to officially canonize Ma Yun as the king of Chu.
