Zhao Hao debuted

Zhao Hao rode on the horse, looked at the moon above his head, and silently counted the time in his heart. The soldiers behind him, according to his request, were resting to meet the coming fierce battle.

This is a small hill not far from Dongyuan City, and not far in front of it, there is the stone throwing machine force in charge of Pang Ju, and when the water rushes through, they will appear under Dongyuan City for the first time and carry out a covering attack on the city wall that has been impacted by the water. When the city wall was breached, it was the perfect moment for Zhao Hao to attack.

It's very easy to say, but it's quite difficult to do. First of all, Zhao Hao wanted to ensure the safety of Pang Ju's troops, so that he could calmly carry out a rain of bullet attacks, and at the same time, he had to risk being accidentally injured by his own people, and take the city lord's mansion, granaries and weapons depots. This is equivalent to allowing yourself to plug the hole, and the advantage of the cavalry in street fighting is not obvious, and it is even possible to be completely annihilated. He took over such a task by himself, and even he admired his courage at that time.

"If you don't break this city, come and see you." Zhao Hao thought about the military order he had made, and the finger that wrote the blood book still ached faintly. But at this point, there is nothing to fear. Although he is a child of the Zhao clan, he is already a side branch of the side branch, and he has no status in himself, and his father died prematurely, only his mother brought him up, and the two depend on each other, only relying on a few acres of thin fields to continue their lives. But life is also very difficult. So I raised some money and found a few uncles and brothers, so I opened up the relationship and let myself enlist in the army. My mother can still manage the fields, and not only does she have no expenses in the army, but she also saves some money. I am going to find a matchmaker in the autumn to take care of my mother, and I can join the army with peace of mind.

As a result, I didn't expect that before the autumn came, I would go out. And until now, it is not known when the war will end. "Maybe if you hit Lingshou City, the war will be over." He thought sullenly.

"Captain, the hour is almost up." Just when Zhao Hao was depressed, his lieutenant came over to remind him to arrive.

"Yes." Zhao Hao looked at the sky, the hour was almost up, but obviously, the water discharge project led by Pang Cong had not yet begun.

"Wait, it's inevitable that there will be some differences in the hour." Zhao Hao commanded.

"Yes. It's just that his subordinates don't understand why the general wants to attack with water. To be honest, my subordinates don't think this is a good idea. How good it would be to just go straight to the stone throwing machine to attack. ”

"The general's thoughts, I'm afraid it's not something you can guess." Zhao Hao said.

"What does the captain mean?"

Zhao Hao saw that he hadn't started to attack yet, in order to let his subordinates attack with peace of mind, he was not afraid to say some thoughts. "In a war, we must not only look at one side, but also look at the overall situation. Our army besieged Dongyuan City for many days, and the morale of the two countries was low, and at this time the news of the destruction of Shiyi came, and the reinforcements of Zhongshan State did not arrive for a long time, which made the defenders of Dongyuan City feel more and more desperate, which was also a good opportunity for the general to attack the city for a long time. ”

"Storing water to attack the city is not to cut off the water source of Dongyuan City, to put it mildly, even if the water source of Dongyuan City is really cut off, its underground river is enough for the whole city to be trapped for a period of time. But for our army, it is a big wait, and the war must be resolved as soon as possible. ”

"Uh," the adjutant general hesitated for a moment, "isn't the purpose of storing water to cut off the water supply to Dongyuan Castle?" What's that for? ”

"It should be through the huge amount of water storage to impact the walls of Dongyuan Castle and increase the destructive power of the city walls. Then use the Trebuchet to increase the attack effect. As he spoke, he pointed to the river flowing through the side and said, "You see, the river passes through the hill and enters the Dongyuan Castle, and if the water volume suddenly soars, it is estimated that it will be difficult to effectively and timely relieve the flood with the existing drainage channels in the Dongyuan Castle." More importantly, although Dongyuan City is known as a strong city, it is also a rammed earth for a long time, and after our army has besieged it for many days, the city wall has been damaged, and there is no major repair. This afternoon, the army attacked the city again, mainly by bombarding the walls through stone throwers. With the help of the power of the water, he broke through the walls of Dongyuan Castle. ”

"I see."

Speaking from facts, it was also a battle of leading troops, and in the left, center, and right Route Army, except for the Right Route Army, which did not have a clear target for attack, compared with the casualties of the Left Route Army and the Middle Route Army, the casualties of the Central Route Army were far smaller than those of the Left Route Army. This is of course because the Left Army has been attacked the most, but it also has a lot to do with the idea of the generals leading the troops.

There is another point that Zhao Hao did not say, that is, the reason why he chose to attack at night was also because after the battle in the morning, the Zhongshan defenders were exhausted, but the Zhao army took turns to fight. From this point of view, Zhao Jun's chances of victory are much greater.

Just as Zhao Hao was still pondering, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded in his ears. Zhao Hao and the deputy general glanced at each other, knowing that it was finally time to come.

As if pouring down from the sky, the rushing river roared from the hills to the ground. Standing on top of the hill, Pang Cong watched the torrent crash against the embankment, rushing towards Dongyuan Castle with no indomitable progress, and the stone in his heart was finally put down. The first step of the plan was considered a success, and the rest of the night, no matter what the effect, was bound to be sleepless.

"Let's go." He said to the generals behind him that there was no use here, they had to bypass the floodplain and go to another place, waiting for the final result.

"Have the baggage soldiers arrived at their positions?" Pang Cong thought for a while and said.

"The position has been reached, and as soon as the flood has passed, they began to lay the bridge slabs to pave the way for the army."

Halfway through, Pang Cong suddenly turned around and said to the people behind him: "A certain suddenly thought of a question, if the flood is too flooded and the road is muddy, should Zhao Hao advance from the muddy place, or choose another place to attack?" ”

"How do you attack?" Seeing the mighty flood passing through him, Zhao Hao also realized such a problem.

Due to the huge amount of water, the impact on the embankments on both banks has been enormous, especially in some places where the collision angles have occurred, and the damage caused is almost devastating. When the river reached Dongyuan City, it was obviously difficult to control, not only caused great damage to the city, and even directly collapsed a section of the city wall, but also covered the land outside the city, and the mud of the road was unexpected. He had no doubt that his centaurs would sink into the mud as soon as they set foot on the road.

"Not good." Zhao Hao shouted softly.

"What's wrong?" The lieutenant is not clear. When he saw the city wall of Dongyuan City collapse, he couldn't help but shout "God help me", and then rode away on a horse to fight for the merits, but Zhao Hao kept moving.

"You see, although this flood has broken the embankment, it has also made our path forward into a swamp, if we really fall into this quagmire, I am afraid that we will not be close to Dongyuan City by that time, and we will be killed by the other side to counterattack."

The adjutant general leaned over and looked, and as Zhao Hao said, the road became muddy. If it is dark today and the situation is unclear, such a rash attack, the ghost knows what unexpected things will happen.

However, Zhao Hao could already hear that there were already faint torches at the wall of Dongyuan City, and it seemed that the defenders of Dongyuan City had begun to go out and prepare to repair the city wall. It is conceivable that in the same place, the Zhongshan people will not be restrained, and must be ready to defend. Where to go, Zhao Hao hesitated for a while.

However, Zhao Hao hesitated, but Pang Ju did not slack off at all. Seeing that the flood had broken through the walls of Dongyuan Castle, he still attacked the place where the city wall collapsed according to his previous deployment. I saw him wave his hand violently, and seven or eight blazing fireballs passed through the stone thrower and threw them towards Dongyuan City. This is an established strategy, because if you want to fight Dongyuan Castle, you must first know where Dongyuan Castle is.

Soon, the effect of the first round of attacks was fed back, although one or two fireballs did not hit the Dongyuan City, but there were still other fireballs that landed near the city wall smoothly, pointing out the direction of Zhao Jun's attack. Pang Ju saw that the first round of attack worked, and no longer hesitated, and continued to attack towards the collapsed city wall, after two rounds of fireball attacks, the head of Dongyuan City was already in flames.

At this time, Pang Ju decisively ordered to change the stone and continue to attack the Dongyuan city wall. The walls had just been hit by water, and now they were submerged in water, so they must have been very soft, and it would have been a waste of such a good opportunity not to take advantage of the opportunity to attack. However, he couldn't help but look back at the back, thinking why, he hadn't seen Zhao Hao's troops appear yet?

Just when he was puzzled, a team of horses appeared behind Zhao Jun, Zhao Hao wore armor, appeared next to Pang Ju on a black horse, and said to Pang Ju on the horse: "General, there is something to ask for, and I hope the general will cooperate." ”

"For now."

"Please use all fireballs to attack the rest of the wall, preferably away from the collapsed part."

"Why is that?" Pang Ju asked suspiciously.

Zhao Hao really wanted to explain to him, but time waited for no one, and he had no other way but to bet this time. can only say: "The general will listen to me for the time being, if the siege is unfavorable, Zhao Hao is willing to bear all the responsibility." As he spoke, he took the lead in striking the horse.

Pang Ju looked at his distant figure, and was stunned and didn't know what to do.

"General Wanwang will definitely cooperate with my captain." Zhao Hao's lieutenant appeared behind Pang Ju and asked Pang Ju.

"Why are you still here?" He glanced at the lieutenant general and said in surprise, "Where are your horses?" ”

"General, please cooperate with my captain's actions first, and my subordinates will explain it to you one by one later." The deputy general said excitedly, maybe only he knew that Zhao Hao was risking his life this time.
