Chapter 57: Siege (2)
Time went back a moment ago, when the Song army's well chariot had just arrived at the foot of Tengcheng.
At this time, there was no need for Teng's archers to attack the well carts outside the city with fire arrows, because those well carts were already very close, so Teng's soldiers only needed to throw oil pots and torches over to directly ignite the well carts.
This saves a lot of effort.
However, Qiu Liang of the Mo family noticed that inside the wells and carts that were on fire, there seemed to be Song soldiers pouring water on the outer walls, so that the drops of water were dripping down.
At first, Qiu Liang thought that those Song soldiers were stupid, but he gradually discovered that when Song soldiers splashed water on the inner wall of the well car, even though the outside of the well car was still burning, the spread of the fire slowed down strangely.
"Is it because the wood absorbs water and stops the fire from spreading?"
Qiu Liang frowned and pondered, while his eyes stared at some of the chariots full of wooden barrels in the ranks of the Song soldiers outside the city, and according to his observation, those barrels seemed to be filled with water, which was obviously used to guard against his fire attack tactics in Tengcheng.
"I actually asked Song Bing to splash water on the inner wall of the building car to stop the fire from spreading...... The son of the Gong Lost Clan in the Song Army is very amazing."
Thinking of this, he told Teng Hu all his discoveries and guesses.
"Does Juzi mean that the Song army is also guarding against our side burning its building car?"
After listening to Qiu Liang's words, Teng Hu said with a frown.
"Hmm." Qiu Liang nodded and said: "The intention of the Song army is obvious, they only want to delay the destruction of those building cars by our side, the longer it lasts, the better it will be for them, if we can't destroy these building cars as soon as possible......"
As soon as the words fell, I heard Teng Bing shouting in panic: "Song Army, Song Army has increased its troops!" ”
Hearing this, Teng Hu and Qiu Liang turned their heads to look outside the city, only to see that in the Song army array in the distance outside the city, the last twenty or so well chariots were also slowly coming towards the city wall at this moment.
"It's not good."
Teng Hu immediately frowned.
You must know that outside the city at this moment, the Song army still has nine well cars, and countless Song soldiers have continuously attacked the city wall with the help of these nine well cars, prompting the Teng soldiers in the city to fight to the death, which is already a very critical situation, if another twenty well cars are added, Teng City is bound to be difficult to preserve.
"We have to find a way to destroy all the buildings as soon as possible!"
After thinking for a while, Teng Hu said in a deep voice: "I will lead people out of the city and destroy the well chariot of the Song army!" ”
Hearing this, everyone around him dissuaded him.
Seeing this, Teng Hu explained: "I look at the Song Army's building car, it is not solid, I just need to lead people to kill its building car and use a sword to cut the rope at the bottom of it, those building cars will inevitably collapse and self-destruct in an instant like the previous ones." ”
However, the Teng soldiers led by Bi Zhan still tried their best to dissuade Teng Hu, after all, the Song soldiers were numerous, if Teng Hu led the army out of the city, or it was possible to be surrounded by the Song soldiers, at that time, Teng Hu was certainly not spared, and Teng City could not be saved.
In the midst of the argument, Teng Hu shouted impatiently: "Is there any other way?" ”
Everyone was silent when they heard this, and immediately, they saw Bi Zhan walk up to Teng Hu, clasp his fists and say, "Teng Hou, please let me go instead of you." ”
Teng Hu looked at Bi Zhan when he heard this, and saw that the latter's eyes were sincere and resolute, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The reason why he Tengcheng has been able to hold on to this day, in addition to the direct or indirect help of the Mo family disciples and the Qi State, the main thing is that Bi Zhan and other Teng people work together to protect the country, even if it costs their lives.
It's like Bi Zhan right now.
After gently patting Bi Zhan's arm, Teng Hu said in a deep voice: "Bi Zhan, you are the person trusted by my father, and I also trust you, I know that you regard me as your son and nephew, and hope to die in my place...... But why do you conclude that I have gone and will not return? ”
"Tenghou ......," Bi Zhan dissuaded again with a worried face.
"No more." Teng Hu raised his hand to interrupt Bi Zhan's words.
To tell the truth, it's not that Bi Zhan is not brave, it's just that Bi Zhan is over half a hundred years old, and his physical strength has begun to fail.
On the side, Qiu Liang, the Juzi of the Mo family, saw Teng Hu and Bi Zhan arguing, so he offered advice: "It's better to be like this, first lead a team of soldiers by Bi Sima to kill from this city gate, and put on a posture of wanting to destroy the Song army's well, and then Bi Sima pretended to be invincible and pretended to retreat into the city, so that the Song soldiers would definitely attack the city gate frantically. …… Teng Hou, Bi Sima, like this, what do you two think? ”
Teng Hu and Bi Zhan glanced at each other when they heard this, thinking about Qiu Liang's suggestion.
After half a ring, Bi Zhan nodded and said, "Although this strategy is dangerous, it is promising. …… The city gate is narrow, and even if the Song soldiers enter, I can block it in the door with a small number of troops. I'm afraid that the Song soldiers will attack too fiercely......"
"It doesn't matter." Qiu Liang raised his hand and said: "Behind this city gate, there are nearly three miles of castles, and my disciples of the Mo family have built many "zhaì" fences early, even if the Song army invades the castle, they can be alone for a while......"
"If it doesn't work well, retreat to the sub-city (inner city)." Teng Hu picked up Qiu Liang's words, and immediately nodded and decided: "That's it!" ”
Everyone agreed, Xuan even opened the west city gate, and Bi Zhan led a team of Teng soldiers out of the city, posing as if they wanted to attack the Song army.
I have to say that the Song soldiers who were besieging the city never expected Teng Cheng to dare to open the city gate, and they were caught off guard and were destroyed by Bi Zhan.
However, after the Song army reacted, the Teng soldiers led by Bi Zhan naturally couldn't resist it.
So Bi Zhan pushed the boat down the river and retreated into the city, making a sign of trying to reclose the city gates.
Where was the Song army willing to let Tengcheng close the city gate, desperately attacking towards the city gate, for a while, the Song army's attack on the city wall intensity decreased, and the focus of the attack was on the city gate.
At this moment, Teng Hu rode in a chariot and led a team of Teng soldiers to kill from the north of the city.
At that time, there was actually a Song army in the north of the city to contain Tengcheng, but there were not many troops, only a thousand soldiers and five well chariots, because they were caught off guard, they were defeated by Teng Hu.
After defeating the Song army in the north of the city, Teng Hu did not dare to stop, and led the Teng army under his command to bypass the corner in the northwest of the city and kill the Song army on the frontal battlefield.
It is worth mentioning that when Teng Hu came out of the northwest corner of Tengcheng and exposed his body to the eyes of the Song army, Sima Mengqing, the family of the Meng family, had just sent his clan to inform the military Sima Jingqing of the matter because he had received a "reminder" from Meng Zhong.
To be honest, if in the past, most of the military Sima Jingyu would not think so, after all, in his opinion, Teng Cheng was crumbling under the offensive of his Song army, how could Teng Hu take the initiative to kill it without defending the city - you must know that the number of Song soldiers is more than four times that of Tengcheng.
But considering that it was Meng Zhong who made the suggestion, Jing Yu hesitated slightly.
After all, even he thinks that this son is quite talented, and he should not be untargeted.
In this case, although Jing Yu did not send troops to reinforce the left flank, he ordered people to pay attention from time to time.
However, what he never expected was that this matter was really expected by Meng Zhong, and that Teng Hu really led hundreds of Teng soldiers to raid his Song army.
Jing Yu immediately ordered: "Pass my order, and order Sima "Wenxin" to lead people to support the flanks and besiege Teng Hu!" ”
Yu Sima, that is, the general officer second only to the military Sima, generally has two people in an army - the position is equivalent to the deputy general.
Jing Hui, as the military Sima, also has two public Simas under his command, one is called "Kou Zhan", that is, the general who is commanding the attack on Tengcheng at the moment, and the other is "Wenxin", who has actually noticed Teng Hu's team before receiving Jing Hui's order, so he ordered the left wing and the soldiers of various families in the formation to attack to resist Teng Hu.
And the Montessori clan also received this person's general order during this period.
"Everyone is ready to fight!"
With the order of Sima Mengqing, all the people of the Meng clan tensed their nerves and paid full attention.
"Forward!"
Under the order, the Meng's chariot went first, and the foot soldiers followed closely to the left and right.
At this time, the Teng soldiers led by Teng Hu had already crashed into the ranks of the Le's, Xiao and other family soldiers, only to see that in the roar of the ghost crying wolf, the Le's, Xiao and other clan soldiers were quickly defeated by the Teng soldiers, and they were crushed.
Even from a distance, Meng Zhong, Meng Hu and others could hear Teng Hu's loud roar: "Kill!" Kill it! ”
"Teng Guo's soldiers, are they so brave?"
Meng Hu swallowed his saliva and said with some panic.
Hearing this, Meng Zhong grabbed the halberd in his hand and did not speak.
I have to say that facing this kind of life-and-death battlefield fight for the first time, even if it is Meng Zhong, it is inevitable that he will be a little stunned in his heart, but fortunately, at this time, Sima Mengqing's words calmed them down: "Don't panic! The number of Teng soldiers is not as large as ours, not to mention that they have defeated the clan soldiers of the Le clan and the Xiao clan, and they are already exhausted, as long as everyone obeys the order, they can defeat them! …… The chariot team is ahead of the line, and the foot soldiers are close behind! …… Kill! ”
With Meng Qing's order, about sixteen chariots of the Meng clan were neatly arranged in a horizontal formation and rushed towards the oncoming Teng soldiers.
Behind the chariot, the Montessori foot soldiers spread their legs and roared and charged.
"Kill ——!"
Amid the deafening shouts, Meng Zhong stood on the left side of the chariot, clutching his halberd in both hands.
His mission is to protect Meng Hu, who is driving the chariot, and the real combat power of his chariot is Meng Hu, who is standing on the right side of the chariot at the moment.
"Ah Hu! Harness the chariot! Ah Zhong, protect Ah Hu! ”
Meng Hu roared loudly, this young sect master of the Meng clan was the first time to lose his temper like this.
It's close!
It's closer!
Those Teng Bin are close at hand!
The current Teng soldier stabbed his halberd at the chariot.
"Ah Zhong! Ah Zhong! …… Meng Zhong! ”
Under Meng Yu's roar, Meng Zhong subconsciously stabbed out the halberd in his hand.
In the next moment, warm blood sprayed on his face, making his whole body tremble.
It was as if it was a shiver from the depths of the soul.
