Chapter 141: The Mountain Loop Turns

Xu Huang led 2,000 men and horses to guard the guard, and 5,000 young men dug a pit within a few hundred meters outside the city, and the excavated soil was simply dumped in the moat, and the pit was covered with a thin layer of soil, and some grass and trees were sprinkled to cover the ears and eyes. Xinbi Ω Quge .% spent half of the night, excavating tens of thousands outside the four city walls, Xu Huang entered the city from other city gates, so that the soldiers and young people rested.

Early the next morning, Shiyi and Shiwu let Shihuang guard the camp and led 30,000 horses to kill Guangxin. The corpses piled up under the city wall, Xu Huang had already ordered people to burn and bury them. Shi Yi pointed to the high city wall and shouted: "East, south, and west, each with 5,000 men and horses to attack the city, today at noon, the army will eat in Guangxin City." ”

Hearing this, the three generals came out and began to prepare for the siege. Wu Ju saw Shixie's men and horses attacking from three sides, and asked Xu Huang in horror: "General Gongming, what can I do if you do it?" ”

Xu Huang said: "Don't worry, Duke Wu. Ordered two thousand young men to wear soldiers' robes, and went to the northern city wall to bluff, and four thousand soldiers were scattered on three walls to defend. Boiling oil, boiling water, sassal wood, boulders, and troublesome Wu Gong to dispatch in the city. ”

Wu Ju knew that he couldn't help much in the city, so Xu Huang gave the steps and hurriedly stepped down.

On the side of Shi Yi, 1,000 shield soldiers held shields, 1,000 archers hid behind, and 3,000 soldiers carried ladders and began to charge. Xu Huang looked at it coldly and ordered the archers to prepare.

The shield soldiers spread their feet, always ready to withstand the attack of the rain of arrows, where did they have the heart to pay attention to the abnormality under their feet, and when they came to the range of the bow and arrow, they only felt that their feet were loosened, and their bodies fluttered and fell into the pit. The sharp wooden stakes erected in the pit instantly caused heavy losses to the shield soldiers, and the wails were endless. The archers behind lost their shield protection and were suddenly exposed, and Xu Huang was waiting for this moment, when the flag waved, and the bows and arrows on the city poured down like raindrops. The archers of the panicked Shixie, accustomed to hiding behind shields and shooting, now had no cover and fell to the ground one after another. Fortunately, the few shield soldiers did not dare to go any further when they saw the misfortune of their companions. The commander of the army was also overwhelmed by this scene, and hurriedly asked Shi Yi for instructions.

Shi Yi never dreamed that the enemy would come back, and if the army did not have cover, the casualties would inevitably be heavy, and he said after a while: "Withdraw for the time being, and then think of a good strategy." ”

The other two sides of the siege also suffered the same result, and Shi Yi was helpless, and after losing thousands of men, the men and horses retreated to a safe place.

Shiyi and Shiwu recruited several generals to discuss countermeasures.

General A said: "My lord, the enemy is cunning, and he has laid a pit outside the city, and for the sake of today, if he wants to attack the city, he must destroy the pit first." ”

Shi Yixin said that this was not nonsense, but when employing people, it was not good to say much, so he had to ask: "Does the general have a countermeasure?" ”

General A touched his scalp and said a few times: "The last general hasn't thought of it yet." ”

Shi Yi turned his head to look at the other generals, and several of them looked at each other and smirked.

Shiwu said: "Brother, with the shield soldiers in front and the pikemen in the back, spread out, test the pit with spears, and then mark them. ”

Shi Yi said: "The pit is very close to the city, I am afraid that the soldiers will be lost in vain." ”

General B suddenly patted his head and said, "My lord, I have a way." Why not collect buffalo and horses, drive them forward, and the pit will surely appear. ”

Shi Yi glanced at General B appreciatively, and said loudly: "Send out men and horses to collect buffalo and horses." General B is really a wise general, and the reward is a thousand gold. ”

General B didn't expect that he would get so many rewards with his inspiration, so he hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for the reward, the last general will definitely be crushed to pieces, shrouded in horse leather, and serve your lordship." "

Half a day passed quietly, and Shixie's men and horses robbed thousands of cattle and horses in the surrounding villages. When Shi Yi saw that the oxen and horses were in place, he instructed the soldiers to drive the cattle and horses along the city wall.

Xu Huang saw that the archers were shot, the cattle and horses were hit by arrows, and they ran wildly, where could the soldiers who drove behind stop them, although they broke through many pits, and the frightened cattle and horses ran away one after another. Many cattle and horses also crashed into the Shiyi army, causing a panic.

Shi Yi saw that he couldn't perform, so he had to retreat.

Seeing that Shixie's men and horses were retreating, Xu Huang opened the city gate and dispatched the young and strong to transport the cattle and horses that had fallen into the pit to the city as military rations.

Shi Yi returned to the camp and looked at General B eagerly, "Does General B still have a good plan?" ”

General B was rewarded heavily, and his idea was not very clever, but he finally found a thousand pitfalls, and when he saw that the main general asked him again, he immediately turned on his brain and thought hard about his idea. At a glance, he caught a glimpse of the grain truck outside the big tent, and immediately laughed and said, "My lord, the last general thinks of a method, I don't know if it can be done?" ”

Shi Yi said: "The way General B thinks of will definitely be clever, come quickly." ”

General B said: "Gather thousands of grain wagons, erect wooden planks, cover them with wet cowhides, and let the soldiers push forward, and the pit will be revealed." ”

Shiwu said: "If the soldiers in the city intercept and kill, how to deal with it? ”

Shi Yi said: "There are not many people in Guangxin City, so send thousands of people to respond." ”

The guards of Guangxin had a delicious meal and felt comfortable. I thought that 4,000 people defending the city were not enough for a bowl of food, but I didn't expect that General Xu's ideas were endless, so he relied on a small trap to block the attack of the soldiers. General Xu said that the Shi family had a good heart, and they were afraid that the brothers would work hard to defend the city, so they sent us cattle and horses. I don't know what delicious food will I send tomorrow?

Xu Huang's mood is not as good as that of the soldiers, the trap can only be useful for a while, Shi Yi and the others will definitely think of a way to destroy it, and the next big battle will be the hardest. Calculating the time, reinforcements should be coming soon, right?

The 20,000 men of Jiang Qin and Ding Feng followed Yushui to the outside of Guangxin City, saw the opponent's Dazhai with no less than 50,000 troops, and discussed how to inform Xu Huang and work together to defeat the enemy.

20,000 people rested in the dense forest, waiting for news from Xu Huang.

Early the next morning, Shi Yi ordered someone to push the grain cart, and killed Guangxin again.

When the soldiers at the head of the city saw the enemy pushing the grain cart into battle, they thought that the cart contained something delicious, and they booed together. Xu Huang ordered the archers to shoot rockets, but the rockets hit the wooden planks and went out after a while, but the grain cart was unharmed. Xu Huang was helpless and stopped the soldier from shooting.

The grain cart broke the pit, and it went well, many grain trucks fell into the pit, the grain cart fell crookedly, the car was empty, and the guards at the head of the city couldn't help but scold.

The leader of the young Zhuang in the north of the city sent someone to deliver the news, Xu Huang saw it, and the young man handed over a letter, and Xu Huang was overjoyed after reading it.

Seeing that all the pits had been destroyed, Shi Yi once again ordered the siege of the city. The shield guards were still in front, followed by soldiers with sandbags on their backs. You have to fill the pit first, otherwise it will get in the way of attacking.

Xu Huang knew that the enemy was broken today, so he stood at the head of the city and said loudly to the soldiers: "Brothers, the Panyu reinforcements have arrived, as long as we resist the enemy's half-day attack, we can capture and kill the soldiers' families and make meritorious contributions to the Han Dynasty." ”

When the guards heard that the reinforcements had arrived, their morale was greatly boosted, and they all excitedly raised their weapons and screamed.

The truly tragic battle began, and the men and horses of the Shi family climbed the ladder and attacked the city. The archers under the city did not want to kill their arrows, causing great damage to the soldiers at the head of the city. Xu Huang saw that the soldiers were seriously injured, so he had no choice but to let Qingzhuang go to the city to assist in the defense. Xu Huang took his own soldiers and shuttled back and forth in the city, appearing wherever there was danger.

Jiang Qin and Ding Feng saw that there were still 10,000 horses in the enemy's camp, and immediately attacked the enemy's camp. Shi Huang was in a panic in the face of the sudden appearance of the army, and while organizing the defense, he flew to report Shi Yi.

The Han army first hung gunpowder bags with bed crossbows, blew up the wall, and rushed into the camp. The combat strength of the Jiaozhou soldiers is average, and it is the opponent of the Han army like a wolf and a tiger. Shi Huangyou was originally a civilian official, and his ability to command operations was even more unbearable, so he only knew how to loudly order people to block it. The soldiers are not stupid, they don't do it when they are clearly sent to death, and they rush out of the gate and flee in a swarm.

Shi Huang You was still shouting, Jiang Qin arrived early, and slashed at him, which scared Shi Huang You to run away, and the guards around him resisted, and when he saw that it was not an opponent, he also turned around and ran. Shi Huang fled, and the Jiaozhou army was even more chaotic, Jiang Qin and Ding Feng slashed and killed for a while, and ordered the Jiaozhou army to surrender.

Shi Yi heard that the Han army was attacking his camp and was about to order reinforcements, when Shi Huang came and cried to his second brother: "The Han army has broken the camp and is coming to this side. ”

Shi Yi was angry, 10,000 horses, with the camp to hold on, how to hold on for a while, this side of the siege is in a hurry, you lost the base camp over there, Shi Yi pulled out the long sword to kill Shi Huang You, scared Shi Huang You quickly ran behind Shi Wu and shouted for help!

Shi Wu stopped Shi Yi and said, "Brother clan, the Han army is coming, and it is important to arrange to meet the enemy." ”

Shi Yi was helpless and ordered the formation. This side has just ended, and Jiang Qin and Ding Feng led the men and horses to kill them. At the head of Guangxin City, the guards saw the arrival of reinforcements, and they rose up and killed the soldiers who were besieging the city. The Jiaozhou army saw that there was no backup, and the men and horses in the rear were fighting with the army all the way, and they were stunned and didn't know what to do. Seeing that the soldiers besieging the city hesitated, Shiwu sent a herald and recruited him.

Shiyi's men and horses were less than 30,000 people, and although they had an advantage in numbers, they had no combat strength there, and they fought fiercely with the Han army for two hours, and gradually lost their opponents. Xu Huang saw it in the city, leading a thousand men and horses to fight into the battle group from the rear.

Shi Yi sent 3,000 men and horses to resist Xu Huang, and the front side was even weaker. Jiang Qin and Ding Feng saw that the enemy's position was loose, and led the only 500 cavalry to start piercing. The cavalry unfurled, and with a charge, the enemy was cut in two. Shi Yi was anxious and ordered his guards to stop the cavalry. Jiang Qin shouted to Ding Feng: "Cheng Yuan, kill the general!" ”

Ding Feng willed, led 200 cavalry, and killed the Chinese army. When Shi Yi saw that the enemy army was sending men and horses to kill him, he panicked and said to Shiwu: "Stop the enemy!" ”

Shiwu led the remaining guards to rush towards Ding Feng. Ding Feng's force value is absolutely top, as the elder of the four dynasties of the Wu State in history, he has exhausted himself for the stability of the Wu regime of the Sun family. Ding Feng saw the conflict between the warriors and the warriors, danced the spear in his hand, rushed left and right, and killed more than a dozen people in an instant.

Shiwu turned his horse and left, Ding Feng didn't know when there was an extra stone in his hand, he aimed at the back of Shiwu's head and smashed it hard.
