Chapter 155: Decisive Battle General Attack 2
However, although it is said that the officers and men are not comparable to the Red Turban Army in terms of combat strength alone, the death battalion formed by Mijiang is absolutely not to be underestimated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I saw that the three hundred soldiers of the death battalion who rushed towards Zhao Mingda were all wearing heavy armor, and under the leadership of an officer and soldier, they roared and fought fiercely with Zhao Mingda and them on the city wall.
"Kill!" Seeing the officers and soldiers rushing over, Zhao Mingda held a steel knife in his hand, and with a roar, the first soldier was killed. Seeing this, the soldiers of the Red Turban Army behind Zhao Mingda also roared, and rushed to the officers and soldiers on the opposite side with their blades.
In this way, the soldiers of the death battalion and the Red Turban Army led by Zhao Mingda started a fierce battle on the city wall.
"Kill the thief!" The soldiers of the death battalion roared like this, and then saw that they all took a desperate posture of attacking but not defending and killed the Red Turban Army.
As the saying goes: "One husband fights for his life, and a thousand men are terrified." "The soldiers of the 300 death battalions are all fierce and not afraid of death, and how can more than 100 people in the Red Turban Military Region resist it.
Although it is said that Zhao Mingda, who led the Red Turban Army, is a rare general, but "when people are strong and poor", no matter how brave Zhao Mingda is, it is already the limit to one enemy and ten, how can he be one enemy to a hundred.
The Red Turban Army, which had managed to gain a firm foothold on the city wall, could be said to be powerless under the attack of three hundred death-defying death battalions. That is, in just a quarter of an hour, they were still showing their might and Zhao Mingda on the city wall, and they were already forced by three hundred soldiers of the death battalion to have no way out.
However, people are like this sometimes, the more they are cornered, the greater the potential for them to explode. Dozens of red turban soldiers who were forced to a dead end by the officers and soldiers dared to die in order to survive in order to survive, and they couldn't help but fight back, hoping to fight another way out under the leadership of Zhao Mingda.
However, don't forget, Zhao Mingda and they are all on the city wall, and on this city wall, where is there any way to live. You can choose to jump off the wall to escape, but this is almost three feet high, and if you jump from this wall, it is no different from jumping off a building.
Therefore, although the remaining dozens of Red Turban soldiers were not afraid of death, when the enemy outnumbered them and had already gained the upper hand, these Red Turban soldiers fell in a pool of blood one after another.
Looking at a compatriot who had fallen, the remaining Red Turban soldiers couldn't help but become more and more desperate, and under the discouragement, the remaining dozen or so soldiers of the Red Turban Army were also killed, so that on the wall of this big city, only one Red Turban Army soldier remained, that is, Zhao Mingda, the brave general who first led people to kill the city wall.
On the city wall, Zhao Mingda, who was leaning against the battlements, looked at the hundreds of officers and soldiers besieging him covered in blood, but instead of being afraid, he stabbed in front of him, looking at the hundreds of officers and soldiers who surrounded him, and suddenly laughed.
Hearing his abrupt laughter, the soldiers of the death battalion besieging him couldn't help but take a step back. But then after these people found out that Zhao Mingda was just bluffing, they walked towards Zhao Mingda again with knives in their hearts.
And Zhao Mingda looked at the officers and soldiers who were slowly killing him, and his face couldn't help showing a trace of madness. I saw that he faced hundreds of officers and soldiers who surrounded him, and instead of retreating, he resolutely rushed forward with his sword.
"Even if labor and management are going to die, they have to pull two backs." Zhao Mingda, who was like a mad tiger, roared loudly.
Then, after seeing Zhao Mingda, who was covered in blood, killed an officer and soldier in an instant with lightning speed, he actually captured an officer and soldier closest to him with his bare hands.
And after capturing one person, Zhao Mingda, who was covered in blood, did not hesitate to capture the soldier, turned around and jumped down the city wall.
All of this ended in just a flash of lightning, and by the time the soldiers of the death battalion on the city wall reacted, Zhao Mingda had already jumped off the city wall.
Seeing this scene, a soldier of the death battalion stared at the place where Zhao Mingda lowered the city wall, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and asked in a trembling voice: "This guy should be dead." ”
However, as soon as these words fell, the Red Turban Army outside the city suddenly burst into cheers for some reason: "General Zhao is mighty!" General Zhao is mighty! ”
Hearing this shout, the soldiers of the death battalion looked at each other, and immediately walked to the battlements, and then they saw that the thief general, who had just jumped from the city wall, stood up from a corpse trembling again. And after standing up, he turned around and spat at them with a mouthful of bloody phlegm in a gesture of extreme disdain.
Then, like a wounded tiger, he retreated back to the Red Turban Army's military formation as if no one was around. As for the officers and soldiers who were caught by him and jumped off the city wall with him, they really became his backs as he said, and he could not die again.
I have to say that this Zhao Mingda can really be said to be a well-known brave general. Although he was defeated this time, this time Zhao Mingda was definitely defeated.
In the face of a siege of hundreds of people, one person would rather die than surrender, but he also pulled two enemies as a backing with his own strength, and then swaggered out under the noses of the enemy, which is simply a myth.
Therefore, when Liu Futong, who was behind the battle and under the banner of the Chinese army, knew everything that happened here, not only was he not dissatisfied with Zhao Mingda's failure, but laughed and said to the surrounding guards: "In our army, a hundred households have such courage and means, so are you afraid that we will not be able to defeat Ruyang City." ”
However, having said that. However, this does not change the fact that Luo Wensu and them on the front line have temporarily reached a stalemate in the siege.
However, Liu Futong is not in a hurry about this, after all, the siege battle has only just started less than an hour, and it is still early to determine the victory. Just by looking at it, you can see that in the attack just now, Liu Futong did not use the four Linchong chariots built by Zhang Shihua for the Red Turban Army from beginning to end, so we can know that just now was just a test before Liu Futong was preparing to launch a general attack.
"Looks like it's going to get serious." Looking at the Ruyang city wall a few miles away, Liu Futong, who was standing on a high platform built by Zhang Shihua, couldn't help but say so. So next, I saw Liu Futong with his back to a herald and said loudly: "Order the general of the king, let him lead his corporal and the chariot in the army to participate in the battle, and be sure to take this city in one fell swoop." ”
When the herald heard this, he immediately obeyed the order.
"The marshal has an order, ordering General Wang to lead the army and join the battle and attack the city with the Linchong chariot, and strive to take the city in one fell swoop." After seeing Wang Xianzhong under the command of Wang Zijiang, the herald immediately said to Wang Xianzhong.
And when Wang Xianzhong heard the words of the herald, he naturally did not dare to delay. Therefore, I saw that he first said to the herald who was kneeling on the ground: "You go back to the marshal, and say that I, Wang Xianzhong, still know," After saying this, Wang Xianzhong turned his horse's head and said to the generals and officials behind him: "Brothers, the marshal has an order to order me to go forward to support General Luo now." Now, everybody will attack me at once, and there will be no mistake. ”
After hearing Wang Xianzhong's words, the three thousand soldiers under Wang Xianzhong's command immediately joined the battle with the beast-like Linchong chariot at the first time.
……
And at the same time, not far from the city wall of Ruyang. The officers and soldiers defending the city who were fighting in Luo Wensu's department couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation when they saw the huge rushing chariot slowly rushing towards them.
After all, this Linchong chariot is too big, although Zhang Shihua built a concise version of it with little effort. However, even if it is such a concise version, it is still a behemoth with a height of three zhang and a width of two zhang, divided into four floors, and can carry more than 100 soldiers to attack the city at one time.
Although such a behemoth has been almost obsolete by the times because of its extremely slow movement and extreme fear of trebuchets. However, do not forget that in the current Ruyang Mansion City, there are no trebuchets in the hands of the officers and soldiers to use at all.
Therefore, this kind of antique weapon, which has been almost forgotten by the times, has now become a talisman for the officers and soldiers defending Ruyang City.
After all, if you shoot a behemoth like a chariot with a bow and arrow, it is equivalent to killing an elephant with an embroidery needle, and it will not cause any substantial damage at all.
Therefore, the mood of the officers and soldiers guarding the city of Ruyang Mansion at this time is simply not to mention.
They obviously have a large number of troops, but at this time, they can only stand on the city wall, watching the rushing chariots of the Red Turban Army come with unparalleled oppressive power, and they are sad that they can't do anything.
Even Mijiang, which was commanded by the officers and soldiers of Ruyang City, had a feeling of being unable to use it when he saw the four Linchong chariots of the Red Turban Army coming.
"Treacherous Red Turban Thief." When Mi Jiang looked at the three sides of the Linchong chariot facing them, full of shields, he couldn't help but have a feeling of wanting to scold his mother. "Straight girl, this plan to attack is a complete failure." On the city wall, Mi Jiang, who was clenching his fists, could only sigh so powerlessly in his heart at this time.
The method of hanging shields on three sides of the Linchong chariot to prevent the enemy's fire attack was naturally what Zhang Shihua thought of. After all, the weakness of the Linchong chariot is naturally clear to Zhang Shihua, the person who single-handedly supervised him.
In fact, Zhang Shihua originally wanted to wrap a layer of iron sheet on the outside of this Linchong chariot. However, on second thought, this practice was too time-consuming, laborious and wasteful, after all, something like the Linchong chariot could be used in a city like Ruyang City, which was located on the plains and did not have catapults for city defense.
Therefore, instead of wasting time and effort to wrap him with a layer of iron sheet, it is better to use a small method to directly hang a pair of shields directly, which not only saves time and effort, but most importantly, he can also increase the defense of the chariot, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
But such a method of killing two birds with one stone is naturally a good thing for the Red Turban Army besieging the city, but it is the opposite for the officers and soldiers defending the city.
After all, for the current officers and soldiers defending the city of Ruyang City, even if the Red Turban Army's Linchong chariot did not have a shield, it was already enough for them to exert effort, and after adding the shield, it would not only be laborious for them, it would be a complete nightmare.
Although Ruyang City is said to be a prefecture city, it has a large number of strong bows and crossbows. However, no matter how many strong bows and crossbows there are, in the face of the BUG-like chariot whose defensive power is transformed by Zhang Shihua, it is equivalent to a drizzle.
Therefore, although it is said that Ruyang City has been attacking the arrows launched by the tall Linchong chariot with a posture of not giving up. However, such an attack could not stop the morale of the red turban soldiers in the slightest, and under the continuous push and pull, the Linchong chariot continued to move forward.
"The chariot is ready, everyone will kill me!" Wang Xianzhong, who came here with the Linchong chariot, shouted like this as soon as the Linchong chariot arrived at its destination.
"Kill!" When the hundreds of red-scarf soldiers in the four chariots heard Wang Xianzhong's words, they immediately climbed onto the top of the chariot and laid the flying bridge planks that had been prepared at the top of the chariot directly on the city wall at the same height as the chariot.
And the soldiers of the Red Turban Army were like this, with the help of the tall four rushing chariots, and killed the officers and soldiers of Ruyang City on the opposite side as if they were walking on the ground.
"Kill! Let all the soldiers of the death battalion give it to me, and kill these red turban thieves for me no matter what, and then destroy their tattered Linchong for me in one fell swoop. Seeing hundreds of red turban soldiers, they easily killed the city wall with the help of the Linchong chariot, and some crazy Mi Jiang couldn't help but shout like this.
Not to mention Mijiang's madness at this time, just talk about these soldiers of the death battalion.
It can be said that in the past few days, Mi Jiang has absolutely nothing to say about these soldiers of the death battalion. If the officers and soldiers of Ruyang City have ten percent of the military expenses, it is said that thirty percent of them have been taken out by Mi Jiang to reward these soldiers of the death battalion.
Therefore, when these soldiers of the death battalion heard Mi Jiang's order, they knew that this would be nine deaths. However, either because they were planning to repay their kindness, or perhaps because these soldiers of the death battalion had no worries for a long time. Therefore, as soon as they received Mi Jiang's order, they all roared loudly and frantically pounced on the chariots in all directions.
"Kill!" Mi Han, the personal guard commander of Mi Jiang, who led this death battalion, led nearly 2,000 soldiers of the death battalion to the city wall, and then divided into four groups at the first time, and vigorously killed the position of the chariot everywhere.
Although it is said that even if there is no death battalion, the officers and soldiers defending Ruyang City can still resist for a short time based on the number of people.
However, Mi Jiang, who was inferior to the Red Turban Army in terms of troops, was obviously unwilling to fight such a tug-of-war and war of attrition with the Red Turban Army, which was unfavorable to him, so Mi Jiang would send the strongest force under his command at the first time, in order to defeat the Red Turban Army's Linchong Chariot Force in one fell swoop.
Because only in this way will the officers and soldiers of Ruyang City, whose strength and combat strength are extremely unfavorable, have a glimmer of hope for victory.
