Volume 3 Discussion of Dong Chaos, Chapter 56 Coercion of Jinyang, Breaking the Wolf Meng

Xu Shu slashed horizontally with a sword, Li Le's head flew up in response, Xu Shu grabbed Li Le's head in front of him, raised it high and shouted: "The thief will be ambushed, and those who descend will not die!" ”

"Whoever descends will not die! Those who descend will not die! ”

After Xu Shu, the soldiers followed Xu Shu and shouted angrily. Even if many of the thousands of soldiers and horses brought by Xu Shu were unarmed, there were only more than 1,000 guards at the gate of the city, how to fight with the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under Xu Shu's command. The sporadic resistance was killed by Xu Shu's soldiers in the blink of an eye, and the remaining Bai Bo soldiers saw that the situation was gone, and they threw down their weapons one after another, and knelt down to surrender to the army of the Northern Regions.

Immediately, Xu Shu asked Yang Feng to count the battlefield, watch the prisoners, and lead the rest of the army towards the Yuci County Government to encircle and suppress. I don't know if it was too cold this winter, or what, the remaining Baibo army in the city surrendered to the northern region without much resistance, making it extremely easy for Xu Shu, who had planned to fight for a long time, to recover Yuci.

Yuci County was regarded as the front-line Guancheng by the Baibo Army, and there were not too many people, a total of more than 10,000, compared to the hundreds of thousands of people coerced by Baibo, but it was only superficial. However, there are a lot of soldiers and horses, Xu Shu is secretly glad that if it is attacked, Yuci, who has more than 10,000 troops, does not know how long it will take to attack it. Now it was taken down by Xu Shu so simply, and the loss was only a few dozen people.

"Captain, in such a cold weather, you still have to send troops to attack Jinyang?"

Yang Feng watched Xu Shu send one military order after another, and he was very worried in his heart, and couldn't help but ask. Xu Shu chuckled and looked at Yang Feng and said, "Does Captain Yang know how long it has been since the general sent troops to Bai Bo?" ”

"It's been almost eight months!" Xu Shu sighed and said: "The soldiers and horses in the Northern Regions of our country are so elite, facing the tenacious rebel army, they have fought fiercely in Mengxian for more than five months, and there are countless casualties. But now that there is almost no waste, Yuci has been taken down, why not take advantage of the weather to recover Jinyang as soon as possible? ”

Yang Feng frowned, looking a little cramped, and said: "Sending troops to Jinyang in such a cold winter, is it possible that the soldiers of the Northern Regions have no complaints?" ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he turned his head and looked at Yang Feng and said, "Captain Yang has traveled all the way, have you heard any complaints from the soldiers of my Northern Regions?" ”

"Never!"

"Does Captain Yang think that such an army in the Northern Regions of China relies on strict military discipline?"

"Isn't it?" Yang Feng was stunned for a while, the army needs to be invincible in the world, what does it rely on if it doesn't rely on military discipline?

Xu Shu looked at Yang Feng with a little ridicule, and said, "If Captain Yang wants to know the result, you can go to the cities of my Northern Territory and say a few bad words about the lord!" ”

"Huh?!" Yang Feng was stunned by what Xu Shu said, why did he say bad things about the lord? Messing around?

"The prestige of the lord in the Northern Regions is eye-catching. Even if Ben Jiang has some talent, he can't express the image of the lord in the hearts of the people of the Northern Regions in words. Xu Shu raised his head slightly and said: "After Taiyuan is pacified, Captain Yang will go to Wuyuan and Shuofang to take a look and know why!" ”

When Yang Feng heard this, he nodded as if he didn't understand, and he was very curious.

"The people under the command of my Northern Regions regard the lord as a reborn parent." Xu Shu looked solemn: "No matter what the lord wants to do, the people of my northern region will definitely follow behind the lord, even if he is the enemy of the world, even if the lord wants to poke the heaven and earth out of the hole!" ”

Looking at Yang Feng, who was slightly shocked on the side, Xu Shu smiled indifferently and said no more. The general orders that continued to be sent were sent down to prepare for the surprise attack on Yuci tomorrow.

The boundary between Yuci and Jinyang is almost the hinterland of Baibo today, although many scouts are also placed, but the heavy snow is blocked, so that the intelligence of the two places is slightly delayed. It was also such a short delay that Xu Shu had the decision to raid Jinyang. At this time, Deputy General Xu Shu, who presided over the attack on Wolf Meng in Meng County, according to Xu Shu's explanation before leaving, launched a real siege battle after a three-day feint.

"General, it's not good, the Northern Regions Army in Meng County is crazy, and it launched a fierce attack today."

"Onslaught?" Yang Feng asked in confusion, "Haven't you been attacking for the past two days?" Originally, after the beginning of winter, after Xu Shu suspended the offensive, Yang Feng had withdrawn to Qi County and presided over hinterland affairs with Guo Tai. The fierce attack of the Northern Regions Army three days ago forced Yang Feng to go to Wolf Meng again in the face of heavy snow to preside over the defense.

"It's different from before!" The adjutant general was entangled for a moment, and didn't know how to answer Yang Fengdao: "The general should go up to the city wall by himself and take a look, the last general can't say clearly." ”

When Yang Feng heard this, he was more dignified while puzzled. Yang Feng's deputy general's surname is Xu Minghuang, and his name is Gongming, which is a small official of the government recovered after Yang Feng's uprising occupied Yang County, Hedong. Not only is he brave and extraordinary, but he is more knowledgeable than most of the leaders of the Baibo Army, and Yang Feng is extremely important. The siege situation made Xu Huang so unsolvable, the problem must be not small.

Yang Feng followed Xu Huang to the top of the Wolf Meng City Wall, making Yang Feng frown.

At this time, the Northern Regions army besieging the city was full of armor, from head to toe, armed to the teeth, not to mention that the arrows were difficult to break through the defense of the armor of the Northern Regions soldiers. The soldiers of the Northern Regions who rushed to the city below, fearless of death, stormed the city wall, greatly increasing the pressure on the city wall defense.

"Komeito, how is it compared to yesterday?"

Seeing Yang Feng's brows furrowed and asking himself, Xu Huang pondered for a moment and said: "Compared with yesterday, the armor of the Northern Regions army besieging the city today is more sophisticated, and they are all fierce and not afraid of death. Moreover, for some reason, the Northern Regions Army seems to be not afraid of the cold, and under such temperatures and heavy armor, they are extremely agile. ”

"On the other hand, I am a white soldier! Hey..."Xu Huang sighed: "After putting on the armor, let alone raising a gun, even running with bare hands is not as good as in the past." ”

Even if the original Northern Regions Army was elite, compared with the elite in the White Wave, it was at most three or four percent higher. But at this time, the Northern Regions Army and the White Wave Army, under this situation, I am afraid that it is extremely difficult to block one out of ten. If it weren't for the tall city walls to block it, I'm afraid that the Northern Regions Army would be able to slaughter my wolf Meng with 5,000 elites. Yang Feng thought so, and his heart was worried.

"Put!"

Just when Yang Feng and Xu Huang were worried about the situation, a loud shout suddenly came from above the city tower, and the volume was not as loud as the noisy and miserable screams on the battlefield, but for some reason it clearly reached the ears of Xu Huang and Yang Feng.

Yang Feng raised his head and stared at the huge barrel flying towards the city wall, puzzled: What is this?

With a snap, the wood-colored barrel hit the city wall and cracked, followed by a 'boom' and splashing water. There are dozens, even hundreds, of wooden barrels flying in the sky, or smashing on the tower, or over the city wall, directly to the inner side of the city wall. The splashes of water were scattered everywhere, even Xu Huang and Yang Feng were not spared.

Xu Huang's face changed greatly, his eyes revealed infinite fear, and he shouted: "Avoid the bucket with all your might, avoid it with all your might!" "The Baibo army has little military quartermaster, some of the soldiers have their heads on their heads, some have armor around their chests, some wear leggings, and most of the rest of the parts are thin layers of cotton clothes, if they are splashed all over the body...

Xu Huang didn't dare to imagine, he didn't have time to care about the water droplets slowly condensing on his body, and shouted a little panicked towards the city tower. Yang Feng on the side also seemed to react, and also followed Xu Huang to shout loudly in a panic above the city tower. The entire city tower was in chaos in an instant, and some soldiers couldn't bear the soaked cotton clothes and armor, so they took off in a panic and ran away. Even if he was able to endure the biting cold temporarily, his lips were dark and he trembled.

On the other hand, the armored Northern Regions Army continued to attack the city tower as if it was nothing. The city tower was lost, the city gate was broken, it was a matter of time, Yang Feng looked at the purgatory without gunpowder smoke in front of him a little sluggishly, trembling all over, I don't know if he was frozen, or he was frightened by the north.

"General, don't be stunned, the city tower has been lost, and immediately order a street fight." Xu Huang came to Yang Feng's side, grabbed Yang Feng and shook it vigorously, and shouted loudly: "General, quickly send someone to Jinyang for help, ask for help!" ”

The frightened Yang Feng was shaken awake, and was so excited by the coldness around him that he shivered, and said in a panic: "Yes, yes, yes, give a quick order and prepare for a street fight." And a plea for help, a plea for help! ”

After shouting, Yang Feng tried his best to calm down, led Xu Huang, and didn't have time to care about the soldiers on the city tower, and fled towards the inner city.

The generals of the Northern Regions under Wolf Meng City, looking at Yang Feng and Xu Huang who fled in a panic, snorted coldly and shouted disdainfully: "Stop the water cannon and break through the city gate!" ”

"Kill!" The soldiers responded to the order, and cooperated with their comrades who had already stormed the tower to attack the city gate.

Taiyuan Jinyang.

The plan is not as good as the change, originally Xu Shu planned to launch a real onslaught against Jinyang and Wolf Meng at the same time, but he did not expect to spend so much time on the way to the cave and cross the water. If there is no mistake, the onslaught launched by his deputy general on the county seat of Wolf Meng has lasted for a day, and I don't know what the result will be. After rectifying the soldiers and horses, Xu Shu delayed even more, and let his personal guards lead 1,000 soldiers from the Northern Regions plus thousands of soldiers surrendered by Yang Feng to garrison Yuci.

Xu Shu himself led 4,000 elites from the Northern Regions, and led Yuci's barely assembled 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack Jinyang at the fastest speed. Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He. Although the cold winter made the march extremely difficult, the Jinshui outside the originally turbulent Jinyang City was also frozen by the cold winter at the same time, allowing Xu Shu's army to easily cross the Jinshui and launch an attack on Jinyang.

In order to prevent reinforcements from Daling, Qixian and other places south of Jinyang from getting the news, Xu Shu must fight quickly. The cold winter was dark early, and when Xu Shu arrived at Jinyang, it was almost dark. Xu Shu did not delay, and after letting the soldiers eat some dried meat food for the Northern Regions on the spot, he launched the most fierce attack on Jinyang before dark.

At this time, the street battle of Wolf Meng had also begun, and the deputy general completely followed Xu Shu's arrangement, did not intend to let the enemy rest, and strive to take Wolf Meng in one go. As a result, countless fires appeared in the silver-white Wolf Mengcheng on weekdays, including torches used by the two armies for lighting, and deliberate arson after the Northern Regions army entered the city.
