Chapter 154: Decisive Battle General Attack 1
"There are no suspicious princes and leaders in this world, especially those like the Red Turban Army who put their heads on their belts to rebel, and 100% absolute trust can be said to be non-existent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info After all, people are creatures full of contradictions and complexities, even if they are themselves, they are inevitably happy with others, not to mention others. ”
Of course, this is not to say that Liu Futong does not trust Luo Wensu. But as far as Liu Futong, the leader of the Red Turban Army, at least he never wants to see Luo Wensu dominate in the army. After all, the butt decides the head, and after sitting in the position of the leader of the Red Turban Army, Liu Futong will inevitably think of further consolidating his position in the army. ”
In this way, Liu Futong will inevitably want to support a person in the army who can balance Luo Wensu. So he stood up and confronted Luo Wensu at this time, which can be said to be in Liu Futong's arms. ”
After all, in his Liu Futong's opinion, he has no heels in the army, and he is far better controlled by him than Luo Wensu, a person with old qualifications, high prestige, and thick heels. And the most important thing is that since he joined the Red Turban Army, he has been performing very well, especially Liu Futong has always been very loyal to him, so at this time, Liu Futong will definitely be biased towards himself. After all, he didn't want a person who was willing to stand up and break Luo Wensu's wrists, and he was suppressed by Luo Wensu like this. ”
Therefore, just when Zhang Shihua's words surprised the generals in the tent, and Luo Wensu was furious, Liu Futong, who was the leader of the Red Turban Army, looked at the generals in the tent and said in a deep voice: "Bochang is right, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and our army is now in an extraordinary time, and it is best to win in stability." Therefore, it is better to wait for our army to build all the siege equipment, and then discuss the question of how to attack the city. ”
Hearing Liu Futong's words, the generals in the tent couldn't help but be even more shocked.
"Marshal Liu didn't support Luo Wensu, it seems that this Zhang Shihua is getting more and more difficult." Hearing Liu Futong's words, all the generals in the account couldn't help but think like this in their hearts. However, although they thought so in their hearts, these people still replied loudly at the first time: "The last general obeys." ”
However, after hearing Liu Futong's words, Luo Wensu was obviously a little unwilling. I saw that he turned his gaze to Liu Futong suddenly, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Liu Futong waved his hand and said to him: "Okay, this matter is settled." After building all kinds of siege equipment, let Wensu be the vanguard of this battle. ”
When Luo Wensu heard this, he obviously knew that Liu Futong's will was impossible to change. After all, letting Luo Wensu be the siege pioneer is obviously a kind of compensation for Luo Wensu. So after hearing Liu Futong's words, Luo Wensu had no choice but to clench his fists and say to Liu Futong: "The last general will obey the order." ”
Hearing Luo Wensu's words, Liu Futong's face couldn't help but smile, and then he waved his hand and said to everyone: "Okay, let's leave it at that, if you have nothing to do, then you can retreat." ”
When the generals in the tent heard this, they couldn't help but get up and replied, "The last general will retire." ”
Then the generals in the tent withdrew from the camp one after another, and after they all left, Liu Futong, who had been expressionless, couldn't help but have a smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "Zhang Bochang, what a talent!" ”
However, at the same time, outside Liu Futong's Chinese army camp, Han Yan'er looked worried, and said to Zhang Shihua, who came out of the Chinese army tent with him: "Brother Bochang, do you know, you offended General Luo this time. ”
"Oh! I just played the truth just now, General Luo won't be so stingy. Hearing this, Zhang Shihua pretended to be surprised.
When Han Yan'er heard Zhang Shihua's words, she looked at Zhang Shihua and said, "Brother Bochang, you have just joined our Red Turban Army, so naturally you don't know what happened before. My old Han won't hide it from you, General Luo, who used to be in our Holy Sect, was a famous Jianzhu who would be retribution, and you would make him unable to step down in public, and he would definitely take revenge in the future. So, you have to be more careful in the future. ”
Hearing Han Yan'er's words, Zhang Shihua's face first flashed a trace of worry, and then he saw him say to Han Yan'er in a grateful tone: "Thank you Brother Han for mentioning it, I understand, little brother." ”
When Han Yan'er heard Zhang Shihua's words, a trace of indescribable smugness flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more, but casually said a comforting word to Zhang Shihua, and then turned around and left in stride.
And after he left, Zhang Shihua looked at Han Yan'er's back, but couldn't help but think in his heart: "Selfishness and greed are really a person's biggest original sin, the Red Turban Army is not doing much now, and these high-level leaders have already begun to think about fighting for power and profit." Hey, it's no wonder that the Red Turban Army will fail in the end, it can only be said that their vision is too short-sighted, and they don't know how big the world is. ”
Thinking of this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but have the idea of "the ambition of the bird".
"Do you need to compete with a reckless man like Luo Wensu for something, they can't help but underestimate themselves." Thinking like this, a smile that seemed to be disdainful appeared on the corner of Zhang Shihua's mouth, and then he saw him turn over and ride his horse back to the camp.
……
Four days later, the Red Turbans' various siege equipment was finally built.
This time, under Zhang Shihua's wholehearted supervision, the Red Turban Army built a total of 35 siege ladders in ten days, as well as four large Linchong chariots with a height of three zhang and a width of two zhang.
Therefore, when Liu Futong saw that these siege machines had been built, he decided to gather a large army to launch a general attack early tomorrow morning. After all, his war against Ruyang City has been going on for nearly a month, and there are still enough large and small battles between the two sides during this period, and Liu Futong's patience has long been exhausted.
……
Early the next morning, outside Ruyang City, Luo Wensu, who was appointed by Liu Futong as the vanguard of this battle, had already gathered nearly 10,000 troops to prepare to attack the city. And after him, Liu Futong's handsome flag was also flying high, and Liu Futong gathered almost 30,000 horses in this battle, obviously to launch a general attack.
And looking at the nearly 10,000 troops on his side and all kinds of siege equipment like giant beasts, Luo Wensu's heart couldn't help but feel proud.
"No matter how much you Zhang Shihua has built siege equipment, it is still not for me to use at this time, and when I take this Ruyang City, I see what qualifications you Zhang Shihua have to compare with me." Luo Wensu, who was thinking like this in his heart, patted his horse and walked in front of the army, only to see him at this time with his back to the red scarf army behind him, pulled out the saber on his waist, raised his sword and shouted: "All the soldiers obey the order, the whole army attacks, and take Ruyang City, there will be a heavy reward." Kill! ”
"Kill!" Hearing Luo Wensu's words, nearly 10,000 Red Turban soldiers roared, and then pushed all kinds of siege equipment and rushed towards Ruyang City not far away.
Seeing this, many of the defenders of Ruyang City also drew their bows and crossbows, and aimed the cold and shining arrows in their hands at the red turban soldiers who rushed towards the city wall, ready to deal them the heaviest blow.
"All the soldiers listen to the order and release the arrows!" Seeing that the red turban sergeants outside the city had already entered the firing range, the general defending the city on the city wall suddenly shouted and ordered.
When the soldiers on the city wall heard this, they immediately saw the arrows in their hands shoot out angrily.
I saw thousands of arrows form a rain of arrows, like a black curtain covering the sky, towards the red turban soldiers who rushed towards the city wall, slashing their heads and covering their faces.
However, it is a pity that such a terrible rain of arrows did not cause much damage to the Red Turban Army outside the city. Because, in these ten days, Zhang Shihua not only created a cloud ladder and Linchong, but also took the time to create a large number of special shields.
Therefore, under the cover of such a special shield, the threat of arrows in the hands of officers and soldiers to the Red Turban Army was minimized.
Therefore, don't look at this rain of arrows is dense and terrifying, but the real damage they did to the Red Turban Army is very pitiful. A volley of arrows rained down, and the casualties caused were actually only more than 100.
And you must know that the Red Turban Army is not a Buddha who is only beaten and does not fight back, although it is said that because the Red Turban Army is a peasant rebel army, it lacks financial resources and does not have so many strong bows and crossbows. But in order to win this battle, Liu Futong also waved his hand and transferred more than 3,000 archers into Luo Wensu's men.
With the support of these archers, although the Red Turban Army will not be able to counter the defending officers and soldiers of Ruyang City in a long-range attack, it can still disperse the pressure for the main siege force of the Red Turban Army.
Therefore, when the enemy's arrows did not pose much threat to the Red Turban Army, the Red Turban soldiers besieging the city quickly approached the city wall with huge shields and ladders and other siege equipment.
"Kill!" After approaching the city wall, the red turban soldiers besieging the city couldn't help but let out a roar, and then saw them push dozens of siege ladders near the city wall towards the city wall. This special ladder is far more convenient than an ordinary siege ladder, so the Red Turban Army did not spend much effort on the side of the city ladder and erected the ladders on the city wall.
And after the ladder was erected, those armored soldiers who rushed to the front, also armed with swords and shields, immediately stood against the arrows on the city wall, stepped on the ladder, and killed them
"Kill! The general has an order, and whoever climbs the city wall first will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. A Thousand Households Officer of the Red Turban Army shouted just right.
"Rush!" Hearing this, the Red Turban Army suddenly roared endlessly, especially the soldiers who charged ahead, and they became more and more crazy.
However, when the officers and soldiers defending the city on the city wall of Ruyang saw this, they were also stimulated by their bloodiness. Although it is said that these soldiers who defend the city are not as good as the Red Turban Army, the advantage of the city wall they occupy at this time is not to mention, and with the help of rolling logs, boulders, gold juice and other things, they did not show any cowardice in this tragic siege battle.
However, the morale of the Red Turban Army was now high, so although the resistance of the officers and soldiers defending Ruyang City was fierce, the offensive of the Red Turban Army became more and more crazy.
"Kill!" A loud shout of killing came, and when I looked closely, it was on a cloud ladder on the east side of the southern city wall of Ruyang City, a red turban army hundred household officials with armor all over their bodies, after killing three city guards in a row, jumped and finally took the lead in climbing the Ruyang city wall.
And the red turban sergeant who was in the eastern battle situation couldn't help but boost his morale because of the example of this hundred household officials.
Therefore, I saw more than a dozen red turban soldiers, after the hundred household officials climbed the city wall first, they also roared loudly, followed closely behind the hundred household officials, and killed and injured the city wall together.
"Death to those who stand in my way!" I saw that the 100 household officers of the Red Turban Army roared, holding steel knives, and killed two officers and soldiers in a row. Blood splattered on the body of Zhao Mingda, a hundred household officials of the Red Turban Army, making him more and more terrifying and hideous, and at the same time, it inevitably dealt a great blow to the morale of the officers and soldiers defending Ruyang City.
However, compared to the fearless soldiers defending the city, the morale of the Red Turban Army at this time could not help but be more and more high, these Red Turban Army soldiers who killed red eyes, together with the brave general Zhao Mingda, were really surrounded by the enemy, and tore a hole in the wall of Ruyang City.
At the same time, outside Ruyang City, behind the warring parties, under Luo Wensu's Luo Zi banner. Luo Wensu, as the vanguard officer of this battle, after seeing the battle situation on Zhao Mingda's side, he couldn't help shouting "good" when he wanted to make another meritorious contribution in the first battle of Ruyang.
Then I saw him holding a horsewhip and pointing at Zhao Mingda's direction and shouting to the herald behind him: "Quick, send the order, step up the attack on the eastern side of the battle, so that they can give me a firm foothold on the city wall." ”
When the herald heard this, he hurriedly rode his horse to give the order. And this also made the red turban soldiers who attacked the city wall from the cloud ladder on the east side more and more powerful.
"Kill!" At the east city wall, more and more Red Turban soldiers climbed the city wall, and these people, under the leadership of the brave general Zhao Mingda, stood together on the city wall, and at the same time, the officers and soldiers of Ruyang Mansion were defeated and retreated.
However, as the commander of the officers and soldiers of Ruyang Mansion, how could he sit back and watch Zhao Mingda and the others fight here. You must know that there are nearly 20,000 defenders in this Ruyang Mansion City, and it is not difficult to select some people who are not afraid of death from these people.
Therefore, when they saw that Zhao Mingda and the others gradually began to gain a firm foothold on their own city walls, Mijiang, who was the commander of the officers and soldiers of Ruyang Mansion, immediately let the generals under his command rush over with a team of death-defying darers.
This death squad in Ruyang Mansion was formed by Mi Jiang four days ago, and they are not many in number, only 2,000 people, but they are all elite soldiers who dare to kill and fight. And the reason why Mi Jiang formed them at that time was actually to use them to resist the Linchong chariot created by Zhang Shihua of the Red Turban Army, after all, the Linchong chariot was a monster-like thing, and the threat to the soldiers defending the city was too great.
But unexpectedly, on the side of the Red Turban Army, the four Linchong chariots had not been used, but he used the death battalion under his command first, which can also be seen that the combat power of the officers and soldiers defending the city is actually far inferior to the Red Turban Army.
