Chapter 1227: Battle of Shanyang (3) [Two in One]
"Knock knock!"
"Knock knock!"
At the east gate of Shanyang County, there were bursts of war drums. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
And on the melting snowfield in the east of Shanyang County, more than 25,000 troops under the command of Han General Ju Xin were lined up neatly.
The first sequence for the siege, a full ten thousand phalanxes, was already ready.
Wei Gongzi Jiang ......
Han Jiang Juxin sat on the war horse and looked at the city and county from afar.
At this time, he would no longer underestimate the enemy in front of him, after all, he was going to sweep Hanoi County, but he was blocked by Wei Gongzijiang in the initial battle of attacking Shanyang, and it was one after another, and he was blocked for more than 20 days.
It is precisely because he has experienced the strength of the Shanyang Wei army that Han General Ju Xin is ready to invest 10,000 soldiers at the beginning of today.
"Pass my orders! Besiege! ”
With the order of Ji Xin, the horn sound of "woo" sounded at the array of the Han army, and immediately, the entire ten thousand people phalanx at the forefront, those Han soldiers and soldiers carried ladders on their backs, guarding a series of well vehicles and siege vehicles, and slowly advanced towards Shanyang County.
Seeing this, on the east city wall of Shanyang County, the general Cao Yan raised his hand and shouted: "Crossbowmen on the city wall...... Get ready! ”
As he gave the order, he glanced at the city wall with a little unease, and looked at the Sanyo women with crossbows and slightly pale faces.
Beside these Sanyang women, the shield-wielding veterans in the Sanyang army were whispering to comfort and encourage them, probably telling them that they only needed to focus on crossbow shooting, and they would be responsible for blocking the offensive of the Korean army.
But even after being comforted and encouraged by the old soldiers, the women's movements still seemed extremely stiff.
It's no wonder that although the women of Shanyang County are no strangers to war, in the final analysis, they were only responsible for logistics in the past, such as boiling water and cooking for the soldiers of the Shanyang Army.
Gradually, the Korean army outside the city was gradually approaching the Sanyang city wall, and when the Korean infantry approached the distance of a stone's throw away, the Han soldiers in the front team, under the urging of their respective generals, suddenly accelerated their pace and rushed towards the city wall.
Wait, wait, wait......
Raising his right hand, the general Cao Yan estimated the distance, and suddenly, his brows froze, because he found that on the city wall on his side, hundreds of arrows had been shot towards the Han army outside the city.
He turned his head to look around angrily, only to see that the women of Shanyang County, who were not far from him, had already shot crossbow arrows before he could give the order to shoot.
"......" Cao Yan opened his mouth, but in the end, he endured his anger and depression, smiled at the women in Shanyang County, and ordered: "Shoot!" ”
In fact, he was already cold in his heart, because the first wave of crossbow arrows on the city wall of Shanyang failed to cause the greatest damage to the Korean army outside the city.
Some inexperienced Shanyang County women shot crossbow arrows in a hurry when the Han army had just entered the shooting distance, and it was a sparse and non-large-scale diffuse shot, if the soldiers of the Shanyang Army under his command did such a thing, he would have scolded angrily.
But at this time, instead of scolding, he had to encourage the women of Shanyang County who made mistakes: "You guys did a good job!" …… Hurry up and reload your crossbows. ”
The failure of the first salvo in Shanyang County meant that the Korean army's offensive on the city wall would be particularly ferocious.
"Rush!"
Outside the city, the urging and shouting of those South Korean generals could be clearly heard, and the Korean infantry like a tide poured into the city and erected one cloud ladder after another.
"Pour the gold juice!" Cao Yan roared.
Immediately, a militiaman from Shanyang County, dressed in armor, poured a pot of gold juice on the top of the heads of the Han soldiers who climbed up the ladder under the city.
The so-called gold juice is a soup boiled with human and animal excrement, which has a certain corrosive effect, especially if it is not cleaned in time after scalding, the skin will ulcerate within a few days, and it can also be called a very vicious weapon to defend the city.
"Ahh
Under the city, there were screams from the Han soldiers, after all, the hot gold juice poured on the body was not just a foul smell. Especially when the hot gold juice accidentally splashes into the eyes, the pain is absolutely unimaginable.
But it's a pity that such a powerful weapon to defend the city can only resist a wave of Korean troops, and the Korean troops under the city are still pouring up the city walls.
Victory or defeat depends on this time!
Silently reciting a sentence in his heart, Cao Yan took a deep breath, pulled out the sword at his waist, and shouted: "Shanyang Army!" Don't retreat! ”
Hearing this, the Shanyang soldiers on the city wall stepped forward with shields and war knives in their hands, as if they wanted to build the city wall with their flesh and blood.
Behind them, some people from Shanyang County, holding long-handled spears, pushed the ladders that had been erected on the city wall and pushed them outward with the spears in their hands.
"Bang!"
A cloud ladder was pushed down outside the city by the people of Shanyang County on the city wall, causing the Han soldiers on this cloud ladder to fall heavily outside the city.
Seeing this, the people of these Shanyang counties were greatly overjoyed, and their morale also rose slightly.
And at this moment, I heard a nearby Shanyang army commander shouting: "Be careful of crossbow arrows!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a tuk tuk sound sounded.
Although the soldiers of Sanyang, who have rich combat experience, have tried their best to use the shields in their hands to help the people of Sanyang around them resist arrows, there are still many people who have been shot by the crossbow arrows of the Korean army, and even directly hit the vital point, and are killed on the spot.
"Watch out for flying arrows!"
The Shanyang Army Commander scolded the people of Shanyang County who were at a loss beside him.
I have to say that only a salvo of crossbow arrows from the South Korean army can clearly see the gap between the non-commissioned officers of Shanyang and the ordinary people of Shanyang County: the veterans of the Shanyang army, they can even use intuition to judge the timing of the Korean army's imminent crossbow arrows, and hide under the wall battlements in advance, or behind Tong Ze who is holding a shield; But the people of Shanyang County, they only cared about overthrowing another ladder, and they were unaware of the threat from overhead, so that they were easily attrition because of a wave of arrows.
"Follow my orders!"
A Shanyang military commander took over the command of a nearby area, commanding the people of Shanyang County on this section of the city wall.
Under the command of these non-commissioned officers and veterans of the Shanyang Army, the people of Shanyang County finally calmed down from the riots caused by the rain of arrows, and although they were afraid in their hearts, they still bravely participated in the battle.
The fighting spirit of the Shanyang people, this may be the only thing that the general Cao Yan praises, if it weren't for the fact that the people of Shanyang all have a fighting spirit to protect their homes and protect their families, Cao Yan is not willing to take this group of burdens that will drag down his Shanyang army.
"Push!"
A commander of the Shanyang Army and several soldiers under his command formed a line of defense with shields to block the Han soldiers who tried to attack the city wall, and commanded the people of Shanyang County behind him to use spears and other long-handled weapons to push a Korean army whose name was blocked from the shield from the city wall.
After a few times, the commanders of the Shanyang Army who commanded the war became hoarse one by one.
But fortunately, the people of Shanyang County are not the greenhouse flowers that stay away from the war all the year round, and with the assistance of the veterans of the Shanyang Army, the militia of Shanyang County, whether men or women, gradually calmed down, and according to the instructions of the veterans, they methodically pushed a famous Korean sergeant off the city wall.
Even, after a few baptisms of arrow rain, they also learned how to dodge the arrow rain, so that the number of arrows attrition was greatly reduced.
Seeing this scene, the veterans of the Shanyang Army praised again and again and continued to encourage the morale of the militia.
This is something to be proud of, in addition to the fact that the combat ability is not as good as the Wei army's new soldiers, the psychological quality of the people in Shanyang County is much better than that of those Wei army recruits who have never set foot on the front line of the battlefield, so that it did not take long to adapt to the atmosphere of the battlefield.
The only thing the militia lacks is that they have not undergone formal training, so that if they do not have a command staff, they are often at a loss and do not know what to do.
But unfortunately, although the battle of the militia in Shanyang County has gradually become regular, the Han soldiers under the city are by no means weak, especially the Quyang soldiers under the command of Han General Ju Xin, who once drove Dai Rong to the desert north of Juzhu Mountain, so that he can no longer threaten the strong army on the Korean border.
Oops!
With the exclamation of a veteran of the Shanyang Army, two Quyang Han soldiers jumped into the city wall.
"Kill!"
A lady from Shanyang rushed towards one of the Quyang Han soldiers with a spear.
But that Quyang Han soldier, unhurried, turned sideways to avoid the spear, and waved a sword, leaving a bloody mark on the neck and chest of the Shanyang lady.
"Women?" Looking at the Shanyang lady who slowly fell to the ground with a frightened face, the Quyang Han soldier frowned slightly.
"Mother!"
Not far away, a teenager from Shanyang County, with wide eyes and tears in his eyes, rushed up with several companions to avenge his mother, but unfortunately, he was cut down to the ground by the Quyang Han soldier after three or two strokes.
The gap is too big.
"Damn it!"
A commander of the Shanyang army cursed secretly, left the city wall, and rushed towards the Quyang Han soldier, and crackled and fought with the latter.
Another Quyang Han soldier killed four or five Shanyang militiamen in the blink of an eye.
This is the gap between the regular army and the militia?
The veterans of the Shanyang army can be one-on-one with the Quyang Han soldiers, but the militia of Shanyang County, with the combined force of four or five people, cannot kill a single Quyang Han soldier.
"Don't panic!" The Han army, which was resisting the city at the city wall, continued to attack the city wall, and the commander of the Sanyang army in charge of this section of the city wall shouted: "Go and surround him with a few people, and attack at the same time!" ”
Hearing the command, several men and women in the militia plucked up their courage and surrounded the Quyang Han Corps.
Faced with this situation, even the Quyang Han soldier was a little panicked, nervously scanning the surroundings, and trying to put on a fierce appearance to scare off these militiamen who had little combat experience.
It's a pity that this Han soldier underestimated the fighting spirit of the people of Shanyang.
"Kill him!" Listening to the screams of a woman, the men and women who surrounded the Korean soldier stabbed the spear in their hands at the same time.
As soon as possible, the Quyang Han soldier was very shrewd to block the two Ge spears with his shield, and then used the long sword in his hand to block the two Ge spears, but he was still stabbed in the waist and abdomen by the three Ge spears - in the case of the enemy being outnumbered, even if they were as strong as the Quyang Han soldiers, it was difficult to survive.
"You bastards......"
With an angry curse from his mouth, the Quyang Han soldier watched as he was stabbed by seven or eight spears.
At this time, the commander of the Shanyang Army, who was one-on-one with the Quyang Han soldiers, although he had a color on his body, he finally killed the opponent, and when he saw that several militiamen worked together to kill another Quyang Han soldier, he did not hesitate to encourage with approval: "Very good!" Just do it! One-on-one, you are by no means the opponent of the Korean soldiers, at least five or six people work together to attack at the same time...... There's nothing despicable about this, it's a war to the death! Kill the enemy and survive, that's the only thing we have to do! ”
As soon as the words fell, another Korean soldier broke through the blockade of the veterans of the Shanyang Army and jumped onto the city wall, however, before he could stand firm, five or six Shanyang militiamen stabbed at him at the same time with their spears.
In a hurry, although the Han soldier blocked four spears, one of them still stabbed him in the waist.
Seeing this, the remaining four or five militiamen stabbed into the spear again and killed the Korean soldier.
This time, without any casualties, five or six Shanyang militiamen killed one Quyang Han soldier.
An indescribable sense of accomplishment gradually rose in the hearts of the five or six Shanyang militiamen.
Yes, there is nothing vile that is not despicable, this is your war to the death!
Only by uniting will we be able to repel these hateful Koreans!
As a result of the successful examples, the morale of the Sanyang militia was boosted, and the battle gradually became more and more in order, so that many Korean soldiers who attacked the city wall one after another were killed by these militiamen.
Seeing the battle on the city wall of Shanyang County from a distance, Han Jiang Ji Xin frowned.
He originally thought that there were not many defenders of Shanyang in the city, and with more than 20,000 troops under his command, it was enough to capture the eastern city wall of Shanyang, but he didn't expect that the people of Shanyang County actually joined the battle and fought well.
That's not a good thing!
If he is blocked by a group of civilians, where will he put his face as one of the top ten heroes of Xinbeiyuan?
…… Then I can't blame you!
With a secret voice in his heart, Ji Xin raised his hand to the east city wall of Shanyang County, and said in a deep voice: "Well car, speed up!" Crossbowmen, suppress the walls! ”
Under the order of Ji Xin, the Korean infantry climbed the city wall and slowed down slightly, while the crossbowmen in the Korean army launched a suppressive strong crossbow fire on the eastern wall of Sanyang.
Under the continuous rain of arrows, the militia on the eastern wall of Shanyang suffered heavy casualties.
After the crossbowmen of the Korean army slowed down the suppression of the crossbow arrows, the wells and carts had approached the city wall.
"Put the hanging board!"
On the car, a South Korean general commanded loudly.
Immediately, I heard a loud bang bang, and the hanging board was lowered on the well cart and erected on the city wall.
At the other end of the hanging board, it was a dense crowd of Han soldiers.
At that scene, even the veterans of the Shanyang Army felt their scalps tingle.
"Storm the walls!"
As the Korean general gave a sharp order, a Korean sergeant stepped on the hanging board and ran towards the city wall.
Seeing this, the veterans of the Shanyang Army roared loudly: "Someone is coming! Come on! Block them! ”
These veterans knew that once they were broken through by these Korean soldiers, the Shanyang militia on the city wall would not be able to stop the offensive of the Korean army at all.
"Shanyang Army! Don't retreat! ”
In the distance, the shouts of the general Cao Yan were heard.
Hearing this, the Shanyang soldiers clenched the weapons in their hands, and without hesitation, they blocked one end of the hanging board, and the war knives in their hands either slashed at the Korean soldiers who tried to rush to the city wall, or slashed at the hanging board, hoping to cut the hanging board.
And at this time when the battle situation was urgent, the east gate of Shanyang County was opened in a loud rumbling sound, and Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, rode a war horse and led the cavalry to resolutely leave the city to attack.
Not to mention that the Han army was shocked by this move, even the Shanyang army and the Shanyang militia on the city wall were dumbfounded.
"Up!"
With the order of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, he led hundreds of cavalry to fight out of the siege and kill the well car outside the city.
Along the way, there were constantly Han soldiers trying to block this Wei cavalry, however, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, took the lead, brandished the spear in his hand, swept left and right, braved the rain of arrows, and killed a bloody road.
Seeing this scene, even the generals of the South Korean army couldn't help but secretly praise: What a fierce general!
"Whew!"
The spear weighing dozens of catties in the hand of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, swept over, and several Han soldiers who tried to stop him were knocked away, this kind of brute force is really rare in the world.
Is that Wei Gongzijiang? Hehe, I'm going to have this head......
A Korean army general saw the bravery of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, laughed secretly in his heart, took a strong crossbow from the backpack behind the war horse, shot a crossbow arrow, and shot towards the front door of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan.
Perhaps sensing the crisis, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, raised his head, and suddenly saw the cold approaching in front of him, and subconsciously raised his left hand.
There was a pop, and a sharp arrow pierced his forearm.
"Haha!"
The Korean general was overjoyed and slapped his horse to meet him.
However, as soon as he got closer, he saw Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, smashing a gun with one arm and smashing it down on his shoulder.
One-handed ...... What the?!
The Korean general instinctively raised his knife to resist, he thought he could easily block it, but he didn't expect that the one-handed stroke of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, directly smashed the bone on his shoulder.
One more shot, stabbing him to death.
This guy ......
The nearby Korean soldiers were shocked and subconsciously followed the spit.
Under their gaze, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, after stabbing the Korean general to death, changed the spear in his hand to his left hand, and then pulled out the crossbow bolt in the forearm of his left hand with his hand.
A stream of blood splashed out, but Yan King Zhao Hongjiang had no expression on his face: "The dark arrow hurts people, and there is more than enough death!" ”
With that, he clamped his legs between the horse's belly and continued to kill the nearest well, as if he had entered a no-man's land, as if the injury on his arm had no effect on him
Seeing this scene, even if it was the Korean soldiers, they were secretly speechless.
I don't know if they were intimidated by the momentum of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, and the Han soldiers who were supposed to guard the Jing Lang Che were defeated and retreated under the offensive of this Wei Gongzijiang, so that the latter destroyed several Jing Lang Che.
But unfortunately, it was when everyone was exhausted, and after a moment of hard fighting, even Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, felt a little weak, and the hundreds of cavalry under his command were already out of breath at this time.
…… If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave!
With a secret voice in his heart, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, shouted loudly: "The cavalry retreat!" This king is broken! …… That's an order! ”
In this way, hundreds of cavalry successfully retreated into the city gate after sacrificing more than 100 horsemen, and Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan who left behind, faced the Korean soldiers like a tide at the city gate.
"Your Highness, retreat quickly!"
Inside the city gate, there was a shout from the general Liu Xu, it turned out that the general had already gathered a crossbow army of more than 200 people to cover the retreat of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, into the city.
"Drive!"
Hearing this, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, turned around and retreated into the city gate.
At this time, the crossbowmen on the city tower and at the gate of the city shot a wave of crossbow arrows at the crossbowmen below the city, blocking the Korean army outside the city.
Thousands of Korean soldiers, can't stop hundreds of people?!
As a result, the morale of the South Korean army plummeted.
At this time, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, laughed and walked up to the city gate, and under the admiring eyes of many Shanyang County residents on the city wall, he said to Princess Yan Sun and the two side rooms: "Get wine!" ”
Princess Yan Sun and the two side rooms, because they were worried about their husbands, stood on the city to watch, and when they saw that their husbands were so heroic, they were overjoyed, and they handed over drinks at this time.
"Your Royal Highness, you have a ...... on your arm" Princess Yan Sun noticed the blood on the left armor of Yan King Zhao Hongjiang, and her face showed a little distress.
"It's okay, it's just a small injury." Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, didn't care, picked up a glass of wine in his right hand and drank it all, and said unsatisfied: "Happy!" …… Lee, pour the wine! ”
The side room Li looked at his man with admiring eyes and poured the drink obediently.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, wiped the wine stains on his mouth and said with a smile: "You guys will be here later, and you will fight for a while for your husband!" ”
Princess Yan Sun glanced at each other with the two side rooms, with a smile on her face, and bowed her head and said, "I wish Your Highness success!" ”
Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, laughed and walked out of the city gate tower, heading towards the city wall in the worst situation.
The arrival of this highness greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians of Shanyang County on the city wall, coupled with the force of this highness, so that those Han troops who attacked the city wall were repelled by the residents of Shanyang County one after another.
Seeing this scene, Han General Ju Xin, who was in the main formation of the Korean army, looked very ugly.
The offensive of 10,000 elite South Korean troops was actually blocked by a group of militiamen, what are you kidding?
Could it be that the civilians of Shanyang County are even more powerful than Dai Rong?
But then again, Ju Xin must admit that the Wei people in Shanyang County have a high fighting spirit, which makes people feel incredible.
"General!"
A general rode a horse in front of Ji Xin, clasped his fists and said: "The resistance of the Wei people in Shanyang is very fierce, and our army has suffered heavy losses......
Ji Xin glared at him, and then frowned and looked at the Shanyang City in the distance.
In fact, it was not only the unfavorable battle situation on his side, but the southern city wall of Shanyang, which Han Yang was responsible for attacking, had not yet made any breakthroughs.
Do you want to retreat temporarily?
After thinking for a moment, he put this stupid idea behind him.
In general, the losses of the Korean army under his command are still within the range he can bear, but if he orders a retreat at this time, then the Korean army on his side will not be able to raise its head in the future - if the 50,000 Han army is really repelled by thousands of Wei soldiers and tens of thousands of Shanyang people, how will the people of the world view the Han army? What do you think of his drama?
This city must be captured today!
Taking a deep breath, Ji Xin said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, the whole army will attack!" …… If you can capture this Wei city, you will have to fight for three days! ”
Arson, literally, means to condone soldiers, as for what to condone it, it is self-evident.
Hearing this order, the morale of the Han soldiers, who were originally a little low, suddenly rose in morale.
"Total Attack!"
"Woo-woo-woo-"
After the two horns, the South Korean army made a comeback, and the offensive was more fierce than before.
Shanyang is precarious.
