Chapter 156: Autumn Offensive (Ask for subscriptions, ask for votes!) )
Arrows flew into the sky, like ink drops, covering the sky and the sun.
The battle of the Yin Pavilion of the Yanmen County Governance Office spread to the city wall, and the tactic called lightning was suddenly launched, 30,000 Xiliang troops and 10,000 Black Mountain infantry crossed the Xiawu Mountain after half a month, and at the end of July, they raided the city that had just been taken over by Yuan Shao, and the soldiers climbed up densely, covering almost the entire wall.
In the first section of the eastern city wall, a large area of fighting tore through the encirclement of the county soldiers, the soldiers in black armor rushed to the inner city stairs under the leadership of the general holding a giant axe, and the county soldiers rescued below were like long dragons hedging against each other, wielding huge axes constantly cutting through people's bodies, flying with bloody stumps, the scene was extremely tragic.
Xu Rong rode on the war horse, looking at the smooth siege from afar, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it was in vain that they were struggling in the mountains for half a month, at first when Li Ru set such a plan for the leader, he was a little worried that the other party would be prepared, but ........ Gaorou was actually a pus.
This kind of siege is not a tragic battle for one's own side, but it must be taken within two hours before the other side can come to the rescue, otherwise it will fall into a stalemate, if possible, it is best to open the city gate and let the remaining 10,000 men charge in. He kept issuing orders, after the first echelon almost went up, let the soldiers of the second echelon begin to prepare, after taking the city wall, this Yin Pavilion will be an important checkpoint for him to defend and go north, and it is also to really stand out in front of the world.
Just thinking about it, Xu Rong, who has always been calm, will also feel that his blood is burning.
"Order, the archers will shoot towards the second section of the C, covering the arrival of their comrades in the city!" Lingqi swayed, he whispered.
At the head of the Yin Pavilion City, there are more and more soldiers of Black Mountain and Xiliang who have climbed up, and the defense line organized by the county soldiers has collapsed on the city wall one by one, blood and corpses have spread out, and the spacious city wall has become crowded, and there are constantly figures falling from the city wall, falling into the city, or outside the city.
Almost two-thirds of the eastern city wall had been occupied, and Pan Feng, who had entered the stairs of the inner city wall, echoed Yu Poison, who was still on the wall, and then he heard someone shouting: "Gao Rou is over there, I see him-" At this time, the tall figure standing on the upper part of the stairs tilted his head, looked around, and his gaze crossed the dense head in front of him, and finally his eyes locked on the face of a panicked person, as well as the rather tight armor on his body.
"What a big fish!" Pan Feng wiped the blood on his face, showed excitement, brandished a giant axe to kill the waves, and shouted: "Don't rob me!" Don't rob me—"
And under the inner city wall, the surging black tide slammed down, the corpses on the stone steps fell down like raindrops, and the figure of the superintendent in the city was thin and weak, he was a civil official, and he had not gone through the war, but he came to merge with his brother Gaogan, and was temporarily stationed in Yanmen County to wait for the general of his brother to find and then replace him, but before the ass was hot, the sudden attack came.
Gao Rou walked back and forth in the rear, still giving orders: "Hold the ....." Then, the soldier literally pushed down his eyelids, spread towards the city gate, and some people rushed towards him.
Seeing the huge figure carrying a giant axe in the front, this scholar was no longer reserved, and turned around and ran away on horseback, and the soldiers beside him also saw the enemy entering the city, and the main general ran again, so naturally they had no fighting spirit, and half of them fled in other directions, or simply threw their weapons and surrendered on the spot to wait for incorporation.
Two and a half hours later, the Yin Pavilion fell.
A large number of soldiers surrendered, and there were also those who did not want to surrender and fled out of the city from the south with the protagonist, at this time the Xiliang Army and the Black Mountain infantry were restrained and warned not to plunder, and the soldiers who maintained military discipline began to appear on the streets, and they were given heavy penalties when they saw the figures of scraping and robbery, and they were seriously killed.
"Gao Rou fled, and those who surrendered threw away their weapons, they are also Han people, and they will not kill indiscriminately!"
"The people of the city listen well, they are not allowed to go to the streets at will during the alert period, close the door at home, and wait for the city to settle down - the people in the city are fine, and the vigilance period is ......."
The iron hooves of the military horses took to the streets, and the knights rushed and shouted through the streets. Even so, there will be a little chaos in the streets and alleys of this city from time to time, but the overall situation has been decided, and the small chaos will soon subside.
Soon, Xu Rong entered the city, and the banner of Gongsun and Chinese characters was erected on the city wall.
Far away to Upper Valley County, on this night, many people had trouble sleeping.
******************
Dawn has not yet come, the cyan pillars reflect the warm yellow lights, the people inside got up early, sorted out the fur fur, iron helmet, animal head armor with shoulder collar and wolf velvet, and then put it on for her husband one by one, and finally took the iron helmet and handed it over, when the other party took it in his hand, Cai Yan patted the fur fur on the outer cover: "My husband is so good-looking, much better than your long-smelling big coat, really like a general." ”
"Can't you be a little bigger than the general?" Gongsun Zhi smiled and looked out the window, the blue sky, "I'm leaving, my subordinates are still waiting, you are two people now, there are many maids bought in the house, you are also from the official eunuch's family, you should know how to call, take good care, go for your husband, maybe you can come back in winter." ”
The woman stroked her slightly bulging lower abdomen and nodded, smiling sweetly: "Husband, let's go, you can't let them wait in a hurry, you have been preparing for half a month, it should be time to harvest, kill a few more Xianbei people!" ”
"Good! Use the head of the Xianbei people to celebrate the birth of my child-" Gongsun Zhi gently stroked the lower abdomen that gave birth to life, turned around and shook off his fur horns, and strode away.
Here, Cai Yan looked at the figure out of the house, chased a few steps quickly, leaned on the door frame with one hand and looked at the back and walked through the eaves, the moonlight was bright, the cold silver was sprinkled from the sky, and the figure who strode away was bright and dark under the lantern, she folded her hands slightly, and her eyes were wet and red.
Outside the gate of the mansion, Li Ke and other guards had already prepared horses, Gongsun Zhi stepped out of the threshold, went straight to the horse's back, walked around the horse's head, and waved: "Out of the city-"
……
There was no fire in the barracks that stretched for miles outside the city, only the figures leading the horses quietly assembled on the huge school field by the moonlight after breakfast in the early morning, and occasionally there was a greeting between companions and companions, and the discussion sounded for a while and stopped, buzzing and slight exchanges, but most of the soldiers seemed silent and hurried to tidy up their pretenses, or war horses.
Su Ren was already the leader of a centennial team, and most of them still used the original title before the official position came down, and now he helped the new knight to join the Black Mountain Rider to tie into his trousers, and he also strangled the leather armor on the back of his hand, always feeling that it would come loose, this was the first time he wore leather armor.
Touching the wide Han sword behind him, the whole person trembled with excitement.
"Leader Su, where do you say the Xianbei people have gone now? Will it still lie in the tent? The Montenegrin rider who had been tightly tied by him came over and whispered, "...... Will they know that we are calling us out of nowhere? ”
Three questions in a row made Su Ren stunned: "Uh...... I don't think I know that this is a matter of discussion above. ”
He had seen the black mountain ride, his face was green, and he was still smiling when he spoke, but in the moonlight, he could still see that the other party was trembling slightly, which was different from Su Ren's trembling.
"Don't be nervous...... When the cavalry charges, he closes his eyes in fear and passes quickly, or he can keep his eyes open a little and dodge the spears that stab, as long as he ......"
While comforting the other party with a soothing tone, the general named Yan Rou over there rode over on horseback, and when he saw Su Ren, he nodded at him and said, "Survive!" Continuing to look downward, his gaze lingering on every face that passed, as if trying to write down everyone's appearance.
“…… Hopefully, many of you will survive. ”
On the silent school field, he murmured slightly.
*************************
Leaving Shanggu County and heading towards the Xianbei Imperial Court of Shui Qiu, Kirby was able to receive a message of goodwill from Yuan Shao in mid-July, and agreed that after sending troops in August in the autumn, he would have half a month to collect cavalry from various tribes and begin to advance towards Quang Ninh at the end of this month.
Along the way, they will naturally attack the villages around the city, as well as some small tribes that have not been attached, rob the rations of the march, or drive the stolen cattle and sheep for the army to eat, the two cities of nearby Ningxian and Quang Ninh tried to defeat a small group of Xianbei cavalry, but this time the other party actually slaughtered the village in retaliation, and the heads were stuck all over the road they walked, and even some of the bandits' nests were pulled out by the other party, and slaughtered after being breached.
Han Chinese women who survived the massacre became the target of humiliation in the army, and from time to time terrible screams would be heard from the huge cavalry group, and every day the corpses of snatched women or young children were discarded on the side of the road, and the death made the hearts of those who saw it block.
“…… The last time he let Gongsun Zhi escape, he already knew that he would make a comeback, even if he knew that Xianbei was attacking with a full 20,000 horsemen this time, he could only dodge the sharp turtle retreating into the city. ”
After the past year, Kirby can have more momentum than in the past, this night he was a little excited and couldn't sleep, pulling the marshals in the army to study the map, "....... but I am not as good as the Han people in the siege, I think he also knows this, he must have prepared the city defense equipment, but I just don't fight, first slaughter the surrounding Han people, besiege the city and wait for him to go out of the city for a decisive battle." ”
"This autumn, kill this white wolf! Hang his skin in the brightest spot of my tent—" He clenched his fists and looked fierce.
**************************
Shanggu County, Gongsun Zhi walked out of the city gate, Dian Wei and Hua Xiong, who were dressed in military uniforms, came up to salute, and in the black at a glance, there was silence and restlessness floating in the restlessness of the Ning people.
“…… Yanmen County should be successful, Xu Rong is still experienced in using soldiers, as long as he controls the checkpoint of Yanmen County, and the soldiers and horses of the high-ranking cadres in the state want to come over, unless they cross the two big mountain ranges of Taihang and Xiawu...... You may have a lot of questions, why did I go out of the city to fight ......"
The war horse walked through the darkness, and the sound of the anxious horse's nose around him was heard from time to time, and under the dark night were rows of silent wolf riders, and the voice of Gongsun Zhi slowly continued in everyone's ears.
“…… In fact, it is very simple, the flames of war cannot be burned, and once it is burned, all our efforts in the past six months will be in vain, and morale and people's will cannot be lost...... We only have one chance, and we can only gamble...... Before and after, I took you from the north to the Central Plains, and then killed back, like polishing a sharp knife, right now, you are this knife......"
He looked back at Hua Xiong and the others, and his voice was not high: "The sharpened knife is to cut out and cut off the enemy's head." ”
In the darkness, the thunder sounded dullly on the earth, and under the silver-gray moonlight, the cavalry stretched out, stepping out of Shanggu County, the Black Mountain Cavalry, the Wolf Cavalry, and the transferred Xiliang Iron Cavalry, a total of 7,500 people, took advantage of this night, and headed to the northwest, where the direction of the Xianbei people, the west side of the slaughter of various departments, the chaotic Hun cavalry that barely managed to make up, sounded the horn of the journey——
Sharpen the blade for a year, and kill into the body that is caught off guard.
