Chapter 101: Sneak Attack on West County
Sand and gravel bags and all sorts of things that can fill the moat, when throwing things into the moat. "Archers ready, put!" Zhang Kun gave an order, and the arrows rained down!
Brush Brush Brush Brush!
The arrows fell on the besiegers like locusts.
Yes! Yes! Burst! Burst!
After a rain of arrows, dozens of people in this thousand-strong team were killed and dozens more were injured.
"Archers keep firing their arrows!" Zhang Kun continued to shout.
The second round of arrow rain, the third round of arrow rain. Before the moat was much landed, Zhao Jing's troops and horses had already suffered nearly 400 casualties. Zhao Jing didn't look good, he didn't wait for the retreat order, he shouted first: "Retreat!" Retreat immediately. ”
The remaining few hundred remnants of the army receded like a tide, much faster than when they came. "Zhao Jing, you are so bold, who gave you the right to let you withdraw the army without permission. Someone! Pull it down and cut it. Yan Tong felt very faceless, so he shouted.
At this time, from Yan Tong's side, a forty-four-five-year-old military general walked out, and he arched his hand and said: "Please be merciful, we have all seen how dense the enemy's arrows are, we are not prepared enough, we can't blame Zhao Jing!" Please allow him to make meritorious deeds. ”
This person is the red man in Yan Tai's eyes, Zhao Yan, the father of Zhao Jing, the first military general in Shangtai. Yan Tong looked at Zhao Yan and felt very unhappy, but Yan Tong didn't dare to offend the Zhao family's father and son, so he said: "Forget it this time, next time you will not be able to fight effectively, and the two crimes will be punished together." However, Zhao Jing's death crime can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, come on! Pull Zhao Jing down and hit the 20th board. ”
Zhao Yan clenched his fists and didn't speak anymore, although Yan Tong was very excessive, but the reason was grandiose, because after all, it was his son who ordered the withdrawal from the army privately, which was indeed a violation of military law, as for whether it was Yan Tong's dereliction of duty, no one would judge them.
Yes! Yes! ……
Zhao Jing really suffered twenty military sticks, and his ass was already blooming. "Herald! The whole army returned to the camp to rest, and tomorrow they will attack Xixian again. Yan Tong shouted.
Yan Tong's remaining more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, after throwing down hundreds of corpses, hurriedly retreated to his camp.
On the south gate of Xixian County, Liao Hua looked at the corpses of the enemy soldiers all over the ground, although he was smiling, but there was a trace of uneasiness in his heart, but Liao Hua didn't understand where this uneasiness came from, so Liao Hua said: "All the soldiers hurry up and carry the equipment to defend the city and strengthen the city defense." ”
"Your Excellency, go down and rest for a while! Leave it to me first! Zhang Kun said. All right! I'll leave it to you first, don't be careless! I first went to the county government to find Zhang Xiancheng and asked, I always felt that something was wrong, could it be that this group of enemies had some conspiracy? Liao Hua said. Promise! Zhang Kun responded.
Zhang Ren and Guo Jia in the lobby of the Xixian County Government were discussing to see if there was anything he hadn't considered.
Whip! Whip! Whip! Whip!
A sergeant came in from outside and said, "Master Qiyu, Captain Liao wants to see you?" Captain Liao, please come in. Zhang Ren said.
After a while, Liao Hua came in from the face in armor, Liao Hua first panted and picked up the tea cup in front of Zhang Ren, raised his neck and drank all the tea, and then exhaled deeply and said: "My lord, I always feel that there is something wrong with the enemy attacking the city this time!" But I can't think of what the problem is. Therefore, I have come to report to my lord and the military advisor. I hope that the military adviser can solve the doubts. ”
"Captain Liao, do you also see the problem? The military advisor also told me about this just now, but there is no intelligence and specific anomalies, and we are not easy to judge, but the military advisor has already thought of several situations, one is that the commander of this army is a straw bag, and the other is that they are attracting our ideas, so what is their plot? It's hard for us to say, we can just see, are there any holes in our defense? So, I've given orders to step up patrols in the city and have issued a curfew. Zhang Ren said.
Actually, Guo Jia can't be blamed for not thinking about this matter, and it can't be said that Guo Jia is not that ghost. The Yan family is intentional or not, and this secret passage is pre-existent, so unless it is an immortal who can predict the future, few others can think of it, and Guo Jia has already taken into account the safety of Fu Lin's family, and has sent Zhou Cang to lead eight hundred guards to Fu Lin's mansion to defend it strictly.
The next day, Yan Tong did not continue to attack the south gate, but ordered to attack the west gate of Xixian County, this is not Yan Tong's rice bucket, Yan Tong did not know the reason for the attack, because Fu Lin's mansion was in the east of the city, and the south gate was not far from the east gate, Yan Tong was afraid that it would be self-defeating, but it would affect Yan Guang's actions. Therefore, he gave the order to attack Simon on the spot.
Outside the west gate of Xixian County, Yan Tong's more than 2,000 soldiers and horses had already finished arraying, Yan Tong looked at Zhao Jiaye San and said, "Order!" Zhao Xuan and Zhao Jing led two thousand-strong teams to attack Ximen, and if they attacked again today, they would be punished for both crimes. ”
The Zhao brothers had no choice but to lead two thousand soldiers and horses to march out. The defenders of the West Gate are the White Tiger Battalion, although the White Tiger Battalion is good at field warfare, and defending the city is not their strong point, but the White Tiger Battalion is still easy to deal with this rabble, not to mention that the commander of the White Tiger Battalion is Xu Huang, it can be said that Fu Lin now seems to have a lot of generals, but in fact, Zhao Yun and Xu Huang are the ones who can really take charge alone, but the two of them are not very mature.
Although Yan Tong's men and horses were sloppy, but there were more people together, it was still very imposing, Yan Tong also learned the lesson of yesterday today, and sent two thousand troops at once, and specifically told the Zhao brothers to send more swords and shields to defend against the enemy's bows and arrows in front.
"Order the siege! Beat the drums! Yan Tong shouted.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of war drums shook the heavens and the earth, and resounded through. "Siege!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly with a big stick in his hand. The two thousand men rushed like a flood that burst its banks toward the moat of the west gate.
"Yu Sima, you command the archers!" Xu Huang shouted.
"No!" Feather responds. When the enemy rushes to the moat. Yuhua raised the knife in his hand and shouted, "Archers prepare, release the arrows!" ”
Arrows rained down, arrows were all over the sky, although the enemy was prepared, but, after all, these people still hadn't seen bloody soldiers and horses? The sword and shield bearers are also inexperienced. A few rounds of arrows rained down, killing and wounding more than 200 people. However, they killed and injured so many people without even touching the hair of the White Tiger Battalion, and their morale was hit at that time.
Yan Tong didn't see it well, and hurriedly ordered: "Keep beating the drum!" ”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The brothers of the Zhao family understood that if they wanted to withdraw from the army without permission this time, there would be no good fruit to eat. So Zhao Zhuo personally supervised the battle, and after he killed a few timid soldiers, the siege of the city saw some improvement in the attack.
At the cost of five hundred men and more than an hour, they finally filled the moat four zhang wide.
"Siege! Take the ladder up! Zhao Xuan shouted. The soldiers below, like ants moving, rushed towards the city wall in a dense manner.
Xu Huang watched unhurriedly, and Yuhua over there was still directing the archers to release arrows. When the enemy erected the ladder and the besieging soldiers had just climbed halfway, Xu Huang shouted: "Roll the wood and stones, prepare!" Put! ”
Thundered! Yes! Yes!
Although Zhao Xuan's soldiers and horses suffered heavy casualties, he could only command the attack with a hard head, and Zhao Jing was injured in the buttocks and was slightly behind.
