Chapter 103: The Battle of Jiaxing (6)
"Kill yourself!"
Looking at the enemy troops outside the camp, Yang Wu sneered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoFor defensive battles, Yang Wu and Zhu Siqing and other subordinates are already very familiar with it, and the last time Sun Yan's army attacked at night in the Battle of Suzhou, his subordinates were responsible for blocking the enemy in the front. Not to mention Zhang Kezong, who is pinning down the defenders of Jiaxing, there are 10,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry under his command alone, and the other party is only 10,000 infantry, how can he break through his own camp?
At the beginning, Yang Wu saw that Zhu Xingxian was cautious everywhere and did not attack easily, at that time he also felt that Zhu Xingxian was cautious, and then he would definitely withdraw to Huzhou when he saw that there was no opportunity; And his plan was to attack while Zhu Xing was retreating first, but now that the other party was so dead that he launched a strong attack, he naturally wouldn't be polite.
"Send an order to Qin Pei, wait for the enemy army to enter the firing range, the bed crossbow and trebuchet should not stop, the sword and shield men and spearmen will go up to the city wall, and the crossbowmen will be behind, and kill and wound the enemy as much as possible. Irrelevant people and others will be withdrawn to the back. ”
"Send an order to Cui Su, let him lead the gendarmerie to supervise the battle, if there are cowards and fearful of war, they will be killed!"
"Send an order to Hou Zhan, let him feed the horses, and start the assault when Ben General gives the order!"
After the herald was finished, Yang Wu slowly put on his armor and climbed high above the top and shouted, "Victory......"
Pi Guangye beside him was stunned, and then reacted and responded loudly: "Victory!" Winning ......"
Cheng Xun and other guards on the side also instantly understood, they fanatically raised the long knives in their hands, slapped the armor on their bodies, and responded loudly, "Victory, victory......"
As if contagious, more and more people looked here, and more and more voices joined in, converging and shaking the whole camp.
The Huzhou army on the opposite side, which was marching towards the camp, was first shocked, looked at the opposite side in shock, and then quieted down and continued to advance under the command of their officers.
After they entered the five hundred steps, with Yang Wu's order, the bed crossbows and trebuchets of the Huainan army were fired at the opposite side, pulling out a bloody road in the Huzhou army.
"Steady, keep going, keep going!" The shouts of the enemy officers on the battlefield could be heard even in the large battalion.
I have to say that these Huzhou troops are all elite, and their morale is also very high, and they are constantly advancing even after this blow. Yang Wu was secretly glad that he had not taken the initiative to attack before, otherwise he might have suffered a defeat in the face of this Huzhou army.
After the enemy approached the trench and entered the range of bows and arrows, a large number of crossbowmen fired salvos one after another, and the overwhelming rain of arrows continued to cover the enemy's charging soldiers, and the Huzhou soldiers raised their arms one after another to resist, but there were still many soldiers who fell like wheat, and blood began to flow wantonly on the ground, and soon gathered into a stream, and the smell of blood began to waft in the air.
"Rush up and fill in the trench to make a way first!" On the battlefield, the shouts of officers were everywhere.
Now rushing to the forefront are the three thousand soldiers led by Shen Xingsi, each of them is not afraid of death, on the one hand erecting a large shield to resist the rain of arrows on the opposite side, and on the other hand frantically filling the trench.
Although he was dissatisfied with Shen Xingsi and the two of them sending troops without authorization, Zhu Xingxian could only grit his teeth at this time. He commanded the rest of the army to quickly press up, shooting a rain of arrows into Yang Wu's camp, suppressing the opponent's crossbowmen, hoping to alleviate Shen Xingsi's pressure.
However, when Yang Wu built the trench, he deliberately built it wide and deep, where could Shen Xingsi fill it in a short time? However, he was also a brave man, and now he launched a ruthless attempt to personally lead people to fill in the trenches, and although the losses were great, they actually succeeded in filling in three passages ten steps wide after half an hour.
"Order, the army forward, tear down the wall, and attack it!"
Zhu Xingxian no longer hesitated, and commanded the army to kill Yang Wu's camp along the passage.
The shouting and killing resounded all over the world, and the tide-like Huzhou soldiers launched wave after wave of impact on the wall, Xu Jun, Shen Xingsi and other generals each led their troops to take turns, their attacks were very resolute, and almost a face-to-face battle had carried out this short war to the most tragic stage.
Under the leadership of Xu Jun and Shen Xingsi, the soldiers began to climb the wall, and the Huainan army behind the wall did not flinch at all, each holding a spear in his hand and stabbing out, stabbing the enemy soldiers who climbed the wall one by one. It didn't take long for corpses to be piled up outside the wall, and a large number of Huzhou troops had successfully climbed the wall to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Huainan army.
With the swing of knives and spears, the lives that were fresh one moment turned into bloody corpses in the next, and the corpses quickly accumulated on the wall, and the blood made the surrounding ground extremely muddy.
After all, this is just a temporary wall, the height and thickness are not as good as those real walls, and Yang Wu didn't expect a wall to block the other party, but he believed that the number of enemy troops who fell was far more than his own side, and the enemy army could not last long if they attacked so fiercely, and when their morale was down, it was time for them to launch a counterattack.
At the same time, in Jiaxing City, Master Sheng was also secretly worried.
"This Zhu Xingxian, how can he be stupid enough to attack the enemy's camp?"
At the beginning, in order to let Huzhou send reinforcements, he deliberately threatened that if the reinforcements did not arrive, he would only hold on for five days, and under his threat, Huzhou really sent reinforcements.
Although the reinforcements had been holding the camp since they arrived, and had not launched an attack on the Huainan army, he was still satisfied with the stalemate.
He felt that it would be no problem for Jiaxing to hold on for a few more months if the confrontation continued, but now who knew that Zhu Xingxian suddenly sent troops to attack the enemy camp, this somewhat crazy decision made him feel incredible.
"Crazy! Zhu Xingxian must be crazy! ”
Since Jiaxing City had been cut off, he didn't know what had happened in Huzhu Xingxian's camp, nor did he know that Wang Maozhang was attacking Huzhou. He only saw from a distance on the city tower that a big battle was taking place in the Yang Wu camp opposite.
"Maybe I should find a way to break through!" Master Sheng felt that it was impossible for Jiaxing to persevere, and he didn't want to accompany Jiaxing to the funeral.
Yang Wu stood quietly under the handsome flag, looking coldly at the fierce battle ahead.
At this time, Fan Yu suddenly rode a horse to report that the defenders of Jiaxing had suddenly left the city, and Zhang Kezong was taking the opportunity to besiege it.
"What? Breakout? Yang Wu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. However, he is still very relieved about Zhang Kezong, a fierce general, so he just needs to deal with the battle in the big camp here.
"Got it, let Zhang Kezong deal with Master Sheng!" He commanded lightly.
Now that Zhu Xingxian's attack is at its most intense, he doesn't have time to pay attention to the situation in the city, as long as the defenders in the city don't come to make trouble for him.
"Shizi, please let the last general lead the attack!" At this time, the cavalry commander Hou Zan also came to ask for his life, his cavalry was rarely useful in Jiangnan, where there were many rivers, and this road was a siege battle, and there was no place for him; Now that the enemy army is finally out of the camp, he is impatient to come and ask for his life.
Yang Wu shook his head and smiled: "Why is the general so anxious, now that the enemy army is on the momentum, let's wait and talk." ”
Hou Zan is a somewhat honest person, he only thinks about fighting in his heart, and he has no interest in the twists and turns such as getting promoted and getting rich, currying favor with his boss, etc.; What's even more rare is that he attaches great importance to military orders, no matter how much he wants to fight, as long as there is no order, he will hold his thoughts and wait quietly for orders; And once the order is given, no matter how difficult it is, he will do his best to carry it out.
It can be said that this is a naturally good soldier, and Yang Wu is very satisfied with him.
