Chapter 34: The Battle for the Fortress (5)
Please enter the text. At ten o'clock in the middle of the day, the late winter sun hung high, and the soldiers on the city wall were slightly sleepy.
At this time, Zhao Dahu was sitting in a corner of the city wall, holding a steamed bun and gnawing on it, while looking at the city, where the small team of the Han army was gathering the corpses.
This is the unwritten rule of the battle between the two armies, if the besieging side does not attack the city once, then after retreating, it can send a small team of men and horses to the battlefield to collect the corpses.
This not only allows the soldiers who died in the battle to be taken away and disposed of, but also avoids being blocked by corpses during the next attack, which affects morale and progress.
"Big brother, what's going on over there?" Zhao Dahu muttered worriedly.
"Three younger brothers, you must protect your eldest brother."
At this time, a faint fragrance came from the side.
Zhao Dahu said without looking back: "You are here." ”
"Well, here we are." Xu Miaozhu said lightly, after she arranged everything, she quickly came to the city wall.
Looking at the mountains of corpses under the city walls, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
This is war, and he is like a demon from hell who devours one human life after another.
"Are you worried about your lordship?" Xu Miaozhu asked lightly.
"Aren't you the same?" Zhao Dahu asked rhetorically.
"I ......"
"Do you like big brother?" At this time, Zhao Dahu suddenly turned his head and asked, his eyes looked at Xu Miaozhu as if he wanted to see through his thoughts.
Panic flashed in Xu Miaozhu's eyes, so he turned his head to look elsewhere and said, "I'm not perfect, I'm not worthy of him." As he spoke, Xu Miaozhu's eyes were full of hatred and murder.
It was they who took away their bodies.
"Actually, I just want to be the commander of this Battle Phoenix Battalion, and one day, I can lead the War Phoenix Camp to conquer the world."
In this way, I can always be there for him and help him. Xu Miaozhu said silently in his heart.
Zhao Dahu said calmly: "I understand, I can help you, when this battle is over, if we are still alive, I will teach you everything that my eldest brother taught me." ”
"Okay, that's a deal."
"It's a deal."
No one knows what kind of battle phoenix camp they have created in this conversation.
……
Cao Fang never expected that this small Hefeng Town and the small Snow Dragon Army would cause such a lot of damage to themselves, with more than 2,000 casualties.
"Snow Dragon Army, it's enough to be proud." Cao Fang muttered.
At this time, he was studying the map of Hefeng Town and its surroundings, but he looked through the map again and again, but he didn't see any other places to attack.
"Snow Dragon Army, I really want to know your commander, this small Hefeng Town is really a good place. It is a choke point that can be attacked, retreated, and defended. ”
"It seems that the only way to break through is through the city gates."
Saying that, Cao Fang's tone changed and he said loudly: "Someone, give the order, the army should hurry up and rest, and after an hour, attack." ”
"Yes."
An hour passed very quickly.
The Han army was once again ready to go, and a full 2,000 brand-new sword and armor soldiers were advancing at a neat pace, the same formation, the same tactics.
After all, this is a siege, and there are not many tactics, relying on a large number of people, and every siege is a success in exchange for life.
This time Cao Fang did not use cavalry, after the first fright, the time between the war horses and now is too short, if the cavalry is on it, I am afraid that the other party will use the same moves, and when the time comes, the war horse will definitely go crazy.
The rampage caused casualties to its own personnel.
"Kill ......"
The deafening sound of killing sounded again, as if to tell the Snow Dragon Army, I'm here, are you ready?
On the city wall, Zhao Dahu saw each other from afar, and after a period of rest, the Snow Dragon Army regained its strength again and prepared to fight one by one.
At this time, there were only more than 700 people left in the Snow Dragon Army on the city wall, including the members of the Zhan Feng Battalion, and the others were admitted to the Snow Dragon Hospital, thanks to the military division's clever plan, otherwise......
"Brothers, these pups, here you are again, tell me, are you afraid." Zhao Dahu shouted angrily.
"Not afraid, not afraid, not afraid."
Just now, they deeply felt the situation of the military and civilians, and felt that their efforts were worth it, and at this time, they were all full of combat power.
"Okay, you are all warriors, let's use the weapons in our hands to kill all these dogs, and let the people in the city see that we, the Snow Dragon Army, have the ability to protect them."
"Kill, kill, kill."
Seeing that his morale was almost there, Zhao Dahu nodded and said, "Prepare for battle." ”
One by one, the soldiers entered their assigned positions.
"Kill......"
The Han army got closer and closer and rushed towards the city walls.
"Shoot the arrows."
Whoosh, whoosh--
More than half an hour later,
Until the Snow Dragon Army had no bows and arrows, many corpses of Han soldiers fell under the city walls.
At this time, the Han army had already attacked under the city wall, the siege vehicles were ready to hit the city gate, and the ladder had been erected.
Behind the city gates, hundreds of people held long wooden sticks against the city gates, which they came of their own free will, and they used their bodies to block the impact of the city gates.
"Quick, throw stones, all the stones are thrown. Pour tung oil. Zhao Dahu ordered.
Stones were thrown from above, and the soldiers, who had just tried to climb the ladder, were smashed on the head and bled out.
When the tung oil fell, it ignited in an instant, causing heavy casualties to the Han army, and the entire city wall was burned red.
On the other side, several soldiers took out long bamboo poles, and there was a fork in front of the bamboo poles, and pushed out the ladders that the Han army had set up on the city wall.
The Han army had no choice but to erect a new ladder and withstand the attack of stones.
The battle lasted for a long time, and the Han army was about to break through in half an hour, and it was dark.
In winter, it was dark very early, as if God was helping the Snow Dragon Army, and in desperation, Cao Fang chose to retreat.
Who knows what insidious moves the other party will use to inflict casualties on themselves, so the night is the most unsuitable time to attack the city, and no one on either side can see anyone.
It can already be seen from today's battle that the Snow Dragon Army has run out of ammunition and food, and it can be taken after an attack tomorrow.
"Whirring ......"
The retreat of the Han army again made the exhausted Zhao Dahu pant loudly.
At this time, there were not many soldiers on the city wall, and they were all wounded and sat on the city wall.
No one spoke, because they didn't even have the strength to speak, and they were left to the ambulance team to treat their injuries.
Seeing this, Zhao Dahu immediately arranged everything on the city wall, and then hurriedly went to the City Lord's Mansion with Xu Miaozhu.
It's already dark, I hope the military advisor can come up with a way, otherwise, they won't be able to defend the city tomorrow at all, they don't have any defensive weapons anymore, and they don't even have enough people.
