Chapter 171: Assault

The total number of troops left behind by Zhang Guo in Hedong was 200,000, while the garrison of Zhang State in Yunze was 50,000.

This is also the first stop of the Wind Country to open the east of the river.

After Su Muzhi arrived here, after a night's rest, the next day the whole army went up and down, feasted on the war meal, and then started fighting directly!

In other words, he didn't even send a military general to the city to call the battle, he didn't say hello, he just came up to do it!

"Shoot the arrows—"

Buzz –

With an order, a huge black cloud rose up in the camp of the wind army, sweeping the city, and for a while, the arrows rained down and covered the sky! Nailed to the city, nailed into the city, crackling!

In just an instant, the large-scale arrow array of the Wind Army attacked and killed countless Zhang soldiers! The howls suddenly came and went.

"Stone-thrower—"

"Hey-hey-hey-"

A bunch of soldiers, pushing a huge stone thrower, came to the firing range, and then began to work together to load the stone projectiles.

"Put-"

After the arrow array, the wind army began to use the stone thrower to bombard the Yunze city defense.

"Dodge! Be careful to dodge-"

Yun Ze's guard Wang Dong held the crooked helmet with one hand, and commanded loudly with all his might, and after a few throats, he dragged his lieutenant past him fiercely, and shouted loudly: "Quick! Ask for help from the county—"

There are 50,000 defenders on their own side, and they rely on the city defense, even if they can't defeat the wind army, it shouldn't be a problem to hold on for five, six, seven or eight days. But now that the Feng Army has not really launched an attack, Wang Dong panicked and asked for help, and his lieutenant general heard the words and grinned secretly, but he was also frightened by the sharp posture of the Feng Army!

He nodded hurriedly, and replied loudly amid the impact of stone bullets everywhere: "The general and stick to the city defense, the last general will go to the county seat for help!" ”

"Go—"

Wang Dong shouted, and at this moment, a huge stone projectile just smashed on the city wall not far from him, making a loud bang, which frightened his neck and shrank suddenly, and then shouted to the soldiers around him again:

"Hidden! Be hidden – don't show your head just yet! Wait for the Wind Army's stone thrower to come out—"

On the other side, under the repeated bombardment, the defense of Yunze City has been riddled with holes. Seeing this, Sun Sheng immediately suggested to Su Muzhi: "General, under the sharp blow of our army's stone thrower, Zhang Jun has been pressed and does not dare to show his head, and the last general suggests that at this time, stop throwing stone bullets and start a charge!" ”

Sun Sheng was originally the commander of the first corps, but after Lu Chen became king, he was also promoted to a partial general of the Huwei Army because of his military exploits. Although he is a partial general, his rank is much higher than that of the corps commander.

Hearing his suggestion, the fierce general Xiahou Jie also immediately asked: "Yes, general, let's quickly order the siege of the city!" The last general is willing to fight the vanguard! ”

Xiahou Jie was a tiger general who was subdued halfway when Lu Chen captured the wind capital, and he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds at the beginning, because he had not yet made any achievements in the army, so Lu Chen did not award him any position. This time, Su Muzhi commanded the 200,000 Tiger Army, and as the vanguard force, Lu Chen also intended to promote Xiahou Jie, so he sent him to Su Muzhi's side, so that he could go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

Seeing that he took the initiative to ask for help, Su Muzhi glanced at him and said in a loud voice: "Okay! Then General Xiahou will lead 30,000 troops and take the lead in attacking Yunze! ”

"The last general commands!" Xiahou Jie clenched his fists and said, then turned around and stepped on the war horse, stretched out one hand, and said to the soldiers below: "Get my weapon!" ”

When he led the 30,000 wind army and began to attack Yunze City, the stone throwers in the wind army camp still had no intention of stopping, Sun Sheng saw this, and couldn't help but say to Su Muzhi:

"General, now that General Xiahou has led our soldiers to attack the city, should we stop the catapult?"

"Stop, stop! Just hit it like that! Su Muzhi said coldly.

What the!? When Sun Sheng heard this, he was shocked, his eyes widened in horror, and he even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears, he stammered and asked again:

"Will ...... General, last general...... Did the last general mishear......

"Your ears are so good!"

"That'...... Then why did the general act like this, if our army's stone throwing machine did not stop, wouldn't it be necessary to hurt our own soldiers......"

At that time, the stone projectiles thrown by the stone throwing machine were indiscriminate blows to the city wall, and there was not much accuracy at all, some would be thrown to the middle of the city wall, some would fly over the city head and throw into the city, and some would also be smashed on the city defense.

If the Wind Army is charging and your own stone thrower does not stop, it will definitely kill and injure your own people!

For Su Muzhi's order, Sun Sheng looked completely incomprehensible, but Su Muzhi said coldly:

"As you said earlier, our army's stone thrower has beaten the Zhang army and dare not show its head, and it is time to attack at this time! If our army stops the stone bullet attack, then the Zhang army will definitely show up to organize the city defense, rather than this, it is better to keep it pressed and dare not show its head, so that our army can successfully attack the city wall! ”

"But, but general, if this is the case, then the casualties of our army will be too great......" Sun Sheng still opened his eyes wide and said incomprehensibly.

"The casualties of our army are large, and the casualties of the enemy will only be greater! If we can't take Yunze City in a short time, then as soon as the reinforcements from the county town arrive, it won't be so easy for our army to break through Yunze! If it can't be attacked for a long time, the war will be stalemate, and by then, more people will die! Su Muzhi still said indifferently.

"This ......" Although he said it was good, in Sun Sheng's opinion, this was too cold-blooded! It's not reasonable at all, and it's still hard for him to accept.

"This is the battlefield! On the battlefield, there are no immortals! Woman's kindness, go home and nurse me! Su Muzhi said categorically.

After speaking, he said again: "What are you waiting for General Sun!?" Now that General Xiahou has led the army to attack the city, you should also lead your headquarters to battle immediately! ”

"Huh!?"

"Huh!?" Seeing that he still looked frightened, Su Muzhi's eyes widened, he pulled out half of his saber with his hand, and said coldly: "Does General Sun want to disobey his orders!?" If so, then don't blame the ruthlessness of military law! ”

"No, no, no! How dare the last general disobey military orders! Sun Sheng hurriedly waved his hand, and at the same time replied stubbornly: "Obey the general's military orders, and the last general will lead the army to attack the city!" ”

"Wait! Tell your commanders! All soldiers, you must fight bravely to kill the enemy, dare to be afraid of the former, and there is no forgiveness for killing! The soldier is dead! Then the Commander of the Thousand Forces! The Commander is dead! Then the corps commander! It's all dead! Then Ben Shuai will go into battle in person! In short, within three hours! Our army must break through Yunze! ”

Don't look at Su Muzhi's young age, but on the battlefield, his heart is harder than a stone!
