Chapter 236: Second Battalion Commander
Han Xuanjun's elite infantry guards wore iron armor and looked straight at Wuling City with neat steps, and there were bursts of birds in the woods passing by, and Tang Qiang, the deputy general of Gan Ning, pointed forward with a knife and shouted: "Follow behind, hurry up!" ”
Behind Tang Qiang, Gan Ning rode his horse and said to him: "Tang Qiang, the lord has an order, the front army stopped fifteen miles away from Wuling City, collected stones, and waited for the siege army to come. ”
"Yes!" Tang Qiang rode his horse to the front army to convey Han Xuan's military order, and a forward sergeant whispered: "Look at this formation, it is another vicious battle, we are in the forward army, and we are destined to fight with the enemy soldiers." ”
Another said, "Eh, have you heard?" We, General Han, went to war with that Liu Du for the sake of a woman. ”
"I don't know which woman is that General Han values it so much, but it's a pity that all of us have to fight to the death for a woman we don't know."
"Alright, don't talk about it, watch your head."
They didn't notice that a man in armor wearing a scarf passed by them, and their conversation was overheard by the man.
The man came to Han Xuanxing's car and said to Han Xuan: "Lu Su visited the lord, Du Xi sent someone to send an urgent report, and Liu Biao beheaded the messenger sent by the lord. ”
Han Xuan's face changed slightly, then calmed down, and said to Lu Su: "Liu Biao must have joined forces with Liu Du, so what, it's a big deal to fight with Liu Biao!" ”
Lu Su looked at the clouds in the sky and said, "Lord, the heavy rain is coming, and the path is bound to be muddy and difficult to walk. The siege equipment is easy to be damaged, so it is better to order the army to camp on the spot and send additional men to transport the siege equipment from the main road first. ”
Han Xuan nodded, the reason why he wanted to transport siege equipment from the small road was because Liu Du must also be thinking about destroying his siege equipment. Han Xuan beckoned to Lu Su and said, "Zijing, come, get in the car and ride with me." ”
Lu Su hesitated: "This ...... Lord, don't dare. ”
Han Xuan smiled: "Eh, Zijing, you and I are friends." ”
Lu Su thanked him and got into Han Xuan's car, Lu Su said: "My lord, when Su came, I saw that the soldiers of the forward army complained a lot, and I was afraid that the morale of the army would be shaken. The lord should cut it off to prevent change. ”
Han Xuan smiled: "Let me guess what they said, did they say that I raised a teacher for a woman, causing misery to the people?" ”
Lu Su said: "The Lord is true and good, and has insight into people's hearts. ”
Han Xuan leaned on the chair of the car and said with a smile: "Hehehe, a group of recruits, just let them see the world." I recruited Liu Du, in addition to personal anger, but also to take advantage of his fledgling wings to get rid of future troubles, how many princes in the world can compete with me? This Liu Du will be my biggest opponent in the future. The soldiers do not know what is at stake, and they have a grievance in their hearts, and if I kill them because of their criticism, the army will not obey me. ”
Lu Su bowed to Han Xuan: "The lord is wise, and Su has been taught." ”
The spring rain continued, and the rice loaded in the grain truck was a lot moldy, so Han Xuan had to endure the pain of his flesh and pour it out. Wei Yan asked, "My lord, why did you pour all this rice?" ”
Han Xuan couldn't explain to them clearly, Chen Wu was not here, he wanted to go back to Guangling and Huang Zhong to guard against Cao Cao. Han Xuan said to Wei Yan: "Moldy rice is poisonous, and in the future, there will be moldy grain in the army that must not be given to the soldiers." ”
Wei Yan listened to the order and went to the army to ask the sergeants to strictly check the rice in the rice hub. The rain finally stopped, and Han Xuan asked Huang Daozhou to lead the Seven Killing Battalion to step up the transportation of siege equipment, and he personally led the vanguard army to Wuling City.
Han Xuan put his hands together in his mouth and shouted at the top of his voice, "Liu Du, I'll give you one last chance." As long as you hand over Li Dao, I will withdraw immediately. ”
Liu Du walked up to the city tower and shouted at him: "Han Xuan, I can defeat you before, and I can still defeat you now!" If you have the courage, you will come and attack the city. ”
Han Xuanbu wondered when Han Xuan lost to Liu Du, Han Xuan knew that Liu Du was talking about the two of them playing games in their previous life. Han Xuan sneered in his heart and said, that is a game, Liu Du's tactics in the game are indeed better than him, but when he comes to the end of the Han Dynasty, they are all real swords and guns, and there is no chance to start again when a person dies!
Han Xuanjian pointed at Wuling City and shouted at the siege army behind him: "Siege!" The officer who entered the city first was promoted to one level. ”
Han Xuan's soldiers carried bamboo ladders and rushed to the city wall, Liu Dujun kept shooting arrows on the city tower, and Han Xuanjun's vanguard fell like wheat harvesting.
Many recruits were frightened, and Wei Yan raised his knife to stop them and shouted: "Those who escape from the battle, behead!" ”
Han Xuan encouraged them and said: "Wealth and danger are sought, and those who behead Liu Du will be rewarded with thousands of gold, ten thousand acres of fertile land." Those who cut Li Dao's head will be rewarded with 100 gold and 1,000 acres of fertile land. If you die in battle, I will give your family a large pension, but if you escape, you will get nothing but to be killed by the Overseers for nothing! ”
When many recruits heard Han Xuan say this, they were ready to gamble, and they turned around and killed the city wall again. The recruits suppressed their fear of death and finally rushed to the city wall and set up a bamboo ladder.
Han Xuanjun began to climb up the bamboo ladder, and a young general next to Liu Du led his men to the city wall and pushed the bamboo ladders away from the city wall with his forked hands. Many Han Xuanbing, who had just climbed halfway, wailed and fell down with the ladder.
The young general ordered the soldiers to pour down the fire oil, and the fire burned the bamboo ladder, "Bang Bang Bang~" The bamboo ladder broke, and Han Xuanbing was constantly burned to death by the fire. Many more were burned on their faces, and their faces looked hideous.
Huang Daozhou finally led his troops to push catapults and bed crossbows, and Han Xuan hurriedly asked him to organize a counterattack. One catapult after another was erected, and huge stone bullets flew towards the city tower, knocking down a large number of Liu Dubing.
The young general beside Liu Du said: "The enemy soldiers are attacking the city very urgently, and there is a crisis everywhere on the city tower, please General Liu temporarily enter the city to take refuge." ”
Liu Du hurriedly asked, "Huo Jun, what should you do?" ”
Huo Jun smiled indifferently: "The general is relieved, Jun's life is very hard, with me, Han Xuan will not be able to capture this Wuling City!" ”
Liu Du and Xiahoulan retreated from the city tower, but still told Huo Jun to be careful, although Huo Jun was a general sent by Liu Biao to help him, Liu Du cherished his generals and wanted to take him for his own use.
Han Xuanjun's bed crossbow arrows were exhausted, and only the catapult was left roaring and shooting stone projectiles at the city tower. Huang Dao Zhou ordered his subordinates to push up the ladder and rush the car, and after the ladder was erected, Han Xuan's army began to attack along the ladder to the city tower.
Han Xuanjun's archers stood on the ladder and began to counterattack the enemy troops in the city, shooting at each other, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. Black smoke billowed from the city, which was extinguished after rockets ignited wooden beams.
Huo Jun was extremely good at defending the city, and under his command, Liu Dujun drove down Han Xuanjun, who had climbed the city tower, several times. Li Dao stabbed to death a centurion of Han Xuanjun, who had just ascended the city tower, and said to Huo Jun: "General Huo, the lord ordered me to help you defend the city!" ”
Li Dao took Liu Dujun's elite sword and shield to slash and kill one Liu Dujun after another, and the city was full of blood. Han Xuan kept attacking, and Han Xuanjun suffered heavy casualties, almost exchanging lives with Liu Dujun in a ratio of three for one or even five for one.
The entire Wuling City has become a human purgatory, and more than half of Wei Yan's troops have been killed or wounded, so they naturally have to rush to the forefront as soldiers who have broken the barracks. Even Wei Yan's deputy general Hou Yong personally climbed the city wall with a sword and shield, and Rao is Han Xuanjun couldn't take the city wall no matter how brave he was.
Han Xuan's brows tightened, and he made a feint attack at the west gate, but stepped up his offensive at the east gate. Others attacked the west, and Han Xuansheng hit the east, but he was still discovered by Huo Jun. Han Xuan's army faced Wuling City like a hedgehog, with thorns everywhere.
As soon as Hou Yong climbed the city wall, he slashed at him with an axe, and his head flew out on the spot. Pan Feng put away his axe and scolded: "Kill me, don't let a Han Xuanbing go to the city!" ”
Wei Yan was wounded and came to see Han Xuan and said, "Lord, this city is really the strongest city that the last general has ever seen!" My adjutant general, Hou Yong, was also killed in battle, and my subordinates were almost exhausted. ”
Han Xuan came to the city to boost his morale, and he found that although the soldiers bravely attacked the city, they were still repulsed. He had no choice but to call Huang Daozhou, he was used to calling him Huang Ergou, but people were not happy. Han Xuan shouted in a hurry: "Second battalion commander, where is your fucking Changsha heavy artillery?!" ”
