Chapter 112: The First Battle of Defending the City
Su Li's head had already dried up after a few days of exposure, and the last mosquitoes and flies of autumn were hovering beside his hanging head at the city gate, making a "buzzing" sound, and the 30,000 Xianbei cavalry looked at the head, and their eyes were full of angry flames.
Fuquan led a group of civil and military forces in Liucheng to stand on the city, looking at the Xianbei army outside the city from a distance, a murderous breath came quietly, and the secret road was really Xianbei was able to rise under the leadership of Tan Shihuai to resist the Eastern Han Dynasty for no reason, and this momentum was also a strong army.
"Huh...... The Xianbei people actually made a ladder? Fu Quan looked at the abnormality in the Xianbei army, pointed to the simple ladder, and asked in surprise after exclaiming.
Zhou Guan immediately said beside him: "Back to the Ming Mansion, there are many Han people who have fled from exile in the border counties, and there are many people who are good at this way. ”
Fu Quan slapped the city wall and said angrily: "Traitors, they should all be killed!" At this moment, he is surging with blood and blood, just think about the invasion of the Han dynasty in the past dynasties, only the Hu people themselves were broken through the Han people's fortified city, since ancient times, the grassland nomads invaded the Central Plains, most of the Han people do not recognize their ancestors, collude with other races, and contribute ideas, otherwise why is there that miserable scene of Han blood and tears in history?
The word "traitor" has never been heard of before, but its meaning is simple and clear, and everyone knows the meaning after hearing it.
Huang Zhong thought that he was the No. 1 henchman of Fuquan, how could he make the lord angry, and immediately saluted: "The Ming Mansion is angry, please order me to go out of the city to face the battle, and behead the opponent to sacrifice the Ming Mansion." ”
When the words fell, Gai Yuan, Guan Yu and others all saluted and asked to fight.
Fu Quan came back to his senses at this time, secretly said that he had lost his temper, and said with a smile: "Don't propose the city to fight again, this is a move to abolish martial arts, if Xianbei does not attack the city, I will not fight." Just kidding, he didn't think that with the thousands of people in his city and the sturdy people, he would be able to go out of the city and resist the tens of thousands of Xianbei.
"No."
"Wen Yuan!" Fuquan shouted.
"The last general!" The military marquis covered the aid and saluted.
"There are not enough troops in the city, so I want to order you to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to guard the east gate, but there are no reinforcements, Wen Yuan may defend it?"
Gai Yuan's chest was straight and he said loudly: "But if you let the Xianbei people enter the city one step, the aid will come to see you." With that, he bowed and led the people to the south gate.
"Yun Chang, Jing Luo!"
"In!"
"The lower official is here!"
Fu Quan glanced at Wen Wuwu Tian Meng, Jing Luo was his expression, and said with deep meaning: "Ximen Wu wants you to lead the soldiers of the wealthy families in the city to defend it, do you have any objections?" ”
Guan Yu immediately said solemnly: "I am not afraid of the enemy of 10,000 people, and I will not let the Xianbei dog thieves enter the city one step." ”
Tian Meng hesitated slightly: "No." "Since the last time Fuquan provoked the generals, he convened a gathering of the family and integrated nearly 1,000 private soldiers of the family in the city, and now Fuquan's move is clearly to make their family desperate, but the Xianbei people are besieging the city, can they not be desperate? The city is broken and the family is destroyed, and the only way to defend the city is to defend it.
"Gongming, Daling!"
"The lower official is here!" Xu Huang and Shi Ah saluted.
"You and the two of you lead five hundred rangers and evil boys to guard the south gate." More than 1,000 naturalized Hu people, evil boys, and rangers in the city were recruited before, and they were already in the north gate for drive.
"No!"
"Yuanbin!"
"The lower official is here!" County Cheng Zhou Guan Road.
"Quickly recruit the strong men in the city, one household out of one ding, the old and weak are not levied, and those who have no men in the family are not levied, and they are gathered at the north gate to standby." After Fu Quan finished speaking, he thought about it and said: "Those who have only children or no descendants in the family are not levied. ”
"No!"
"Ziming!"
"The lower official is here!" County Lieutenant Zhang Zhidao.
"The lieutenant soldiers of Ru rate county demolished the houses in the city to prepare for the shortage of rolling wood and stones, and sent people to inspect the surrounding areas of the city, but those who misbehaved and abnormal were arrested on the spot."
"No!"
"The rest of the people are guarding the north gate with this official, I have sent someone to ask for help from the county, just hold it for three days, Zhao Liaoxi will come with a whole army, and Xianbei will be fine." After speaking, Fuquan raised his arms and shouted: "The Han will win, and Xianbei will die!" ”
Seeing this, Huang Zhong beside him also raised his arms and shouted: "The Han will win, and Xianbei will die!" ”
The same is true for the other Liucheng officials present, Su Buwei, the superintendent of the post, smiled bitterly in his heart when he saw this, he had heard that this Liucheng Ling liked to shout, and Yu Chaotang offended the Yuan scholars and eunuchs because of this, but he didn't expect that he would be such a child's posture when he arrived on the battlefield today.
The shouting of the city gate spread to the outside of the city, and after a while, I saw that more than 100 Xianbei cavalry on the opposite side returned to the formation, and then I heard the horn of the Xianbei army sounding, which was about to attack the city.
The low sound of the horn sounded over Liucheng, and then he saw that most of the Xianbei army was out of battle, scattered in the three gates of Liucheng, Fuquan was happy when he saw this, and he guessed it well. Xianbei was instructed by someone to play the trick of "encircling three and missing one", and what they did not encircle was the south gate guarded by Xu Huang and Shi A with five hundred rangers and evil boys.
In this way, he didn't have to worry about the fall of the South Gate, he was really worried that these hastily assembled ranger evil boys were untrained and couldn't resist the impact of the Xianbei people.
The dull footsteps came, and countless Xianbei cavalry who dismounted followed the ladder, Fuquan looked at it, the ladders were all at the north gate, and there were only more than ten ordinary ladders to follow at the east and west gates, and all the others were gathered at the north gate, including the five ladders, obviously Tanshi Huai wanted to attack the north gate, after all, the head of the Suli people was hung above the north gate.
Not long after, Huang Zhong reminded: "Ming Mansion, Xianbei people have reached within ninety steps of the city. ”
"Shoot the arrows!" Fuquan shouted and ordered.
"No."
Then, I saw Huang Zhong take his usual bow, bend the bow and set the arrow, and aim it at the Xianbei people outside the north gate, only to hear the sound of "whoosh", the arrow with a broken body, shot into an unlucky man who was well-dressed and should be the commander of the Xianbei army. An arrow hit, the man was hit by the arrow and his head was bent, and he had already fallen off his horse, and under the shock of the Xianbei soldiers, the rain of arrows in the sky struck again, and at once he killed and injured hundreds of Xianbei soldiers.
In addition to the 100 soldiers stationed at the north gate of Fuquan, there are also prisoners in the county, naturalized Hu people, and the remaining ranger evil boys, a total of about 1,000 people, which seems to be a small number of people, but don't forget, the elite recruited in the city are all at the north gate. After all, Liucheng is a large county of 10,000 households, even if it has suffered seriously from Xianbei Koubian in recent years, but it is also able to make up thousands of people, and it is precisely by virtue of this that Liucheng can be invaded by Xianbei several times, and it is still not broken.
After three rounds of arrow rain, the Xianbei army outside the north gate suffered more than 1,000 casualties, although the Xianbei people have been forging weapons in recent years, but it is obvious that there are only offensive ones, and the Central Plains people do not have a big shield such as defense, so the arrows hurt them greatly.
At this time, there were Xianbei soldiers who bent their bows and fired back, shooting at the city wall, killing and injuring dozens of people at the city gate at once, and a sharp arrow shot down Fuquan's hair strands, fortunately he was not injured, it was really dangerous and dangerous, and then the five ladders gradually approached the city wall,
Huang Zhong hurriedly dragged Fuquan to the back of the city tower, and said quickly: "Ming Mansion, nothing happened?" ”
"Nothing." Fu Quan replied, thinking of the ladder, and hurriedly said: "Quickly send someone to shoot arrows to fight back, pour fire oil, roll wood and stones, and quickly destroy the ladder, and never let the Xianbei people get close to the city wall." ”
"No."
Huang Zhong turned around and ran towards the north gate.
