Chapter Seventy-Four: Yi Zhi
At this moment, Fanjin City, which was still bloodstained, ushered in a new round of catastrophe again, Guo Ru stood at the head of the city, looking at the dense army of Yu Chenglie under the city, and his two eyebrows were twisted into a rope. The opposing army formation under the city was lined up, and there was no end in sight for a long time, and from time to time a few enemy soldiers would jump out of the array, galloping to the near city gate, dodging the feathered arrows shot from the city, while quickly spying on the movement in the city. On the steps at the back of the city wall, there were crowded soldiers from his own side of Hogo on standby, although the number was large but not untidy. At this moment, the murderous aura of the soldiers on both sides seemed to have risen into the air, forming a dark cloud above their respective heads and shrouding the top of Fanjin City, when these two dark clouds met, they would flash lightning and thunder, releasing huge energy, which could overturn the entire city at any time.
"Hang on!" Guo Ru turned to the deputy general and said lightly.
"General, do you want to think about it again......" The adjutant general was obviously a little hesitant.
"Hang!" Guo Ru shouted violently, showing his unquestionable determination.
Immediately, a banner was slowly erected on the city wall, and the enemy army was in front of it. Hunting with the banner and dancing wildly in the wind, but it did not affect the rebels under the city to recognize the seven big characters that were unusually eye-catching on them - the Great Wei Longxiang General Sun!
There was a commotion under the city, and then the drums of thunder sounded, and the siege officially began.
Guo Ru pulled out his longbow: "A team of arrows!" The second team is ready! "Well, one of every three people in the ranks of soldiers at the head of the city took a step forward, one took a step back, and the rest stood still, and one team was divided into three teams. The soldiers of the front team bent their bows and arrows, and they were ready to attack together with Guo Ru.
"Put!" Guo Ru gave an order, and a row of powerful arrows shot towards the siege army rushing under the city with the sound of the wind, and dozens of rebels were immediately planted in response to the flow of people. The soldiers of the front team shoot the feathered arrows in their hands and immediately retreat to the last and become the rear team, while the original squadron and rear team take a step forward accordingly and become the new front team and squadron.
"Put!" Another volley of powerful arrows broke off the bowstring and shot at the rebels. It turned out that when the front team was shooting arrows just now, the squadron was already ready to shoot, and as soon as it reached the front row, it would immediately send arrows, and at this moment, the rear team had accordingly drawn arrows from the quiver and put them on the bow to complete the preparation for shooting.
"Put! Put! Put! The three teams took turns firing, but they didn't give each other the slightest respite, and the rain of arrows on the entire battlefield never stopped for a moment, and the rebels fell in pieces. It wasn't until the archers had shot every arrow in their quiver that the rain stopped.
Guo Ru threw away his longbow and drew his sword, and pointed at the approaching enemy army: "Today we are waiting for death and no life!" If it's a man, follow Guo to kill them all, don't give General Sun and Huaiwu a disgrace! ”
"Kill them all! Kill them all! The soldiers shouted in unison, as if the demons in everyone's hearts had been awakened since the dehumanizing slaughter of the city, and the only gap was filled with the urge to slash and kill, and they looked at human life very lightly, even if it was their own.
And the rebels seemed to be ignited by the "Sun Rong's battle flag", and rushed to the city wall like crazy, wanting to fight to the death with Sun Rong. Soon the wall was full of ladders, and the black heads kept coming up from the bottom, and Guo Rujun was also red-eyed, fighting with the rebels as if he was dead. Some of the soldiers were wounded in their right hand, so they swung their swords with their left hand and chopped them indiscriminately. Some of them were so killed that they simply climbed onto the opponent's ladder and slashed at the rebels around them; Some of them were approached by the rebels, so they simply threw away their weapons, hugged the rebels and tore them on his neck; Some of them were seriously wounded and knew that they were going to die, so they rushed to the wall and jumped down towards the dense area of the rebels, crushing them to death one by one.
The rebels attacked several times, but they were all blocked by Guo Ru, and finally learned their lesson and changed their strategy. Perhaps it was the idea of the rebel generals who defended the city of Fanjin City, Sun Rong used the tactics of burning the city gate to attack the city, and the rebels came to learn and sell now, and also pushed oil drums and rushed straight to the city gate with torches.
When Sun Rong was attacking the city, Guo Ru was at the scene, knowing that defending in this prosperous city without a moat, once the city gate was burned, it would be equivalent to announcing the breaking of the city, and immediately called the generals beside him: "The rebels want to burn the city gate!" Come out of the city with me! ”
The generals agreed with a bang.
The city gate suddenly opened, and Guo Ru and several of his subordinates suddenly killed with hundreds of elite soldiers like a storm. The rebels obviously didn't expect the defenders to dare to go out of the city, and there were not many men and horses behind those sappers to cover them, so they were immediately rushed to pieces by Guo Ru.
Moments later, however, most of the rebels were swept away, including a large number of infantry armed with torches. Guo Ru glanced back at the generals behind him: "What should I do?" If you retreat into the city, the city gates will still be burned to the ground! ”
"Fight with them!" At this point, in addition to hard fighting, how can the generals come up with any other way.
"Good!" Guo Ru wiped the blood from the sword with his sleeve, "Let's see who kills more thieves!" When you get to the underworld, the one who kills the least must be punished with a jar of wine! "A clamp on the horse's belly, rushed out first. The rest of the people followed closely behind the rebels. Seeing Guo Ru rushing into the enemy formation, the defenders in the city also followed as if they were enchanted, and a siege battle turned into a flat battle.
Although Sun Rong's army rushed back to the city after the wind and day by day, it still failed to reach Fanjin before the city was broken. When his army arrived, he saw that the city was full of corpses of rebels and defenders who had no time to carry away, the city wall had already been stained red with blood, and from time to time you could see the corpses of some soldiers on both sides hanging on the wall, and the city head was once again replaced with the banner of the rebels, which showed that although the rebels took the city, they also paid a heavy price.
Jiang Rusong stepped forward and shouted towards the city: "Guo Ruke is still alive? ”
No one answered, and after a few moments, an object was thrown from the city, and after landing on the ground, it rolled out of the way. Jiang Rusong got off the horse to inspect, and suddenly burst into tears, it turned out to be Guo Ru's head.
Returning to the formation, Sun Rong patted Jiang Rusong on the shoulder: "Guo Ru, he did not live up to General Ben, although Fanjin City was lost in his hands, it also made Yu Chenglie suffer heavy casualties, with the remaining men and horses of the rebels, he is no longer the opponent of our army!" ”
Jiang Rusong's eyes were red: "General! Let's siege! Let the thief's blood debt be paid for by blood! ”
Sun Rong: "Don't be busy, don't you forget, this city is already an empty city, and most of the grain stored in the city has been transported out by our army, and there are not many left in the city." All we have to do is trap the thieves as we do now, and they will die of lack of food! ”
Jiang Rusong: "Then the general will send people to raise military rations, if you want to spend it with them, it is better to prepare more grain and grass." ”
Sun Rong nodded: "Go!" ”
Yu Chenglie in the city obviously didn't expect this ending, he and Lian Dayong planned to attack the city at the same time, but when the time came, he didn't see Lian Dayong's troops, so he had to attack alone. During the siege of the city, he found that the defenders in the city were extremely tenacious, and he finally took the city after launching five attacks, but he also paid the price of more than 30,000 troops, but he thought that if he could destroy Sun Rong at the cost of 30,000 people, it would be worth it. However, he was wrong, it was not Sun Rong's headquarters that resisted in the city, but only one of his subordinates named Guo Ru and a mere 10,000 horses, and Sun Rong's army actually ambushed Lian Dayong outside the city. It didn't take long for Sun Rong, who had returned to the division victoriously, to lead the army to arrive, quickly surrounded the city, and brought the news that Lian Dayong had died in battle.
The battle situation in the next few days made Yu Chenglie feel what it means to be powerless, as long as he did not fight, Sun Rong would not attack, and he wanted to send troops to break through the city several times, but Sun Rong only blocked them back into the city and then withdrew, and did not attack the city. It seems that Sun Rong is determined to starve them to death, and the successive blows make Yu Chenglie anxious and restless. After thinking about it for a long time, I still can't get the point. "Now that the danger is at stake, maybe only the young master can come up with a countermeasure, what to do next, or ask the young master!" Yu Chenglie thought so.
The next day, in the Chinese military tent, Sun Rong, Jiang Rusong, Sun Chaozong, and Sun Wei sat down humbly, drank wine, and ate meat in large pieces, which was very comfortable.
Sun Rong's eyebrows danced and said: "Sun Wei, you came too timely today, with these grains and grass you brought, it will not be a problem for our army to surround him and the thief for another month." ”
Sun Wei: "If you want to say that it is timely, it is still the head of Lian Dayong who came in time, then Sima Huaizhong learned that Lian Dayong's entire army was annihilated, and he was so frightened that he withdrew the siege overnight, and the last general had the opportunity to come to support the general with grain and grass." ”
Sun Rong: "Come on, come on, let's guess how long this thief can last?" ”
Seeing that Sun Rong was quite interested, Jiang Rusong also cooperated: "Although the thief is stubbornly resisting, he has become the end of a strong crossbow, and he is about to be overturned. ”
Sun Chaozong said with a smile: "If Song's words are wrong, in the current situation, it would be good to be able to hold out for five days!" ”
Jiang Rusong did not confront him, but asked Sun Rong: "What does the general think?" ”
"Hmm......" Sun Rong frowned in thought.
"Report~!" A hurried voice interrupted Sun Rong's thoughts, "General! The rebels have fallen! ”
