Chapter 452: Casualties
On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, Wanzhou City, the general's mansion where the bald flowers settled.
A soldier sweating profusely couldn't help but rush to the general's mansion in panic in this already gloomy weather.
"General, General. The big thing is not good, Niu Ben and Liu Ze, the remnants of the Yang Han tribe, had already surrendered the day before yesterday and surrendered to the black-clothed thieves in Yunyang Prefecture! ”
"Bastard thing, yelling, no sense at all. Niu Ben, Liu Ze and others were originally born as bandits, and now they are thieves, what is there to make a fuss about! "Indeed, after Niu Ben and Liu Ze broke through, they fled east on the battlefield.
And in Yunyang Prefecture in the east, everyone knows that that place has been reduced to the territory of the Chu army.
Therefore, the surrender of Niu Ben, Liu Ze and others to the Chu army is indeed not something worth making a fuss about. It's a reasonable thing, just like a person who wants to drink water when he's thirsty, what's there to make a fuss about?
So for the soldier who shouted and screamed, and didn't have any proper decency at all, after bald and unspent scolding, he couldn't help but order left and right in a bad mood: "Come on, pull down this bastard thing that has no decency at all." Thirty lashes and teach the rules! ”
"Ahh General, no. No, it's not just that, I don't know if it's so! Seeing this, the soldier was naturally startled, and couldn't help but hurriedly explain, "General, Niu Ben and Liu Ze are not just the thieves in black who surrendered.
They also hyped up Yang Han's affairs and slandered Xiangye. said that for his own selfish desires, Xiang Ye wanted to take this opportunity to annex all the rebels of Xichuan Zhulu. Now, the rebels of Xichuan are already panicked! ”
"What!" Hearing this, Bald Suddenly was finally moved.
"Damn it, damn the thief in black! It had to be them, it had to be them. Sow discord and damage the reputation of the prime minister. wants to make the rest of the rebels of the roads separated from Xiangye, and then be broken by each of them. The black-clad thief is such a good means, what a good means! ”
Bald Buhua roared angrily, and couldn't help but overturn the table in front of him at once.
"You stupid people, what are you doing. Why don't you go and write a notice to clarify the matter. That Yang Han died because he did not obey orders, committed the following crimes, and wanted to do misdeeds. Xiangye definitely didn't kill him out of selfish desires, and he definitely had no idea of annexing the Zhulu Righteous Army. Quick, go! Just go!!! ”
"Yes, yes. Subordinates obey, subordinates obey! Seeing this, the subordinates around who were so frightened that their faces turned pale hurriedly agreed.
Then this group of subordinates, who didn't want to stay here for a moment, couldn't help but leave the room quickly, leaving only one of them to vent their emotions in the room.
……
"Haha, Marshal. You're doing this in seconds, it's amazing! At the same time, in Yunyang Prefecture, facing Guo Yu, Li Wu, Shen Ke, Bai Xi and other subordinates couldn't help but smile.
"Marshal, now it's all right. After the news of Yang Han's killing was spread by us, we added evidence from Liu Ze, Niu Ben and others. If you don't spend that old thing, it's equivalent to yellow mud falling into the crotch of your pants - it's not, it's.
Marshal, you don't need to spend a single soldier, let the finisher not spend this group of people under his hands to deviate from morality. It's really clever and strategic! ”
Shen Ke shouted at this time, but he didn't forget to pat Guo Yu, the marshal's ass, at any time.
And in this matter, Guo Yu, who formulated this strategy with his own hands, couldn't help but feel a little complacent. So at this time, for Shen Ke's sycophancy, Guo Yu couldn't help but accept all the orders. While pretending to be modest and saying a few words of self-humility, he was smiling all over his face, and he kept laughing.
"Marshal, now. The completion does not spend the soldiers and horses under the account, which can be described as a centrifugal departure. The only remaining 20,000 righteous soldiers are related to their lives, and if they don't have ten days and half a month of appeasement, they will definitely not trust the finisher. In this way, this is a good opportunity for our army to attack Wanzhou.
Wanzhou was originally with Liangshan Prefecture and Wuning City, showing a three-legged trend. Originally, as long as our army attacked Wanzhou, Liangshan Prefecture and Wuning City would definitely send troops to support, making it more difficult for our army to attack Wanzhou City. But now, we have spread such news, and even the lost dogs like Liu Ze and Niu Ben have been given to high-ranking officials.
Then the soldiers and horses of the rebels stationed in Liangshan Prefecture will definitely have the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, or wait for the price to sell, or surrender to the strong. In this way, the certainty of our army's attack on Wanzhou will undoubtedly be doubled.
Marshal, this is a wonderful opportunity to send troops to fight! ”
When Shen Ke finished filming Guo Yu's sycophant, Bai Xi, who was also the commander of the Great Chu Army, couldn't help but stand up and said such a thing to Guo Yu.
"General Bai's words are very kind, but they really coincide with this commander!" For Bai Xi's words, Guo Yu praised it like this.
Then he stood up from his seat and looked at him, glanced at the three military commanders Bai Xi, Li Wu, and Shen Ke in the hall, and couldn't help but order in a loud voice: "Listen to the order, after you return to the camp, you will reorganize the soldiers and horses in the camp yourself." In addition to the first division of the Zhongguo Army and the first division of the Wu'an Army, which stayed in Yunyang.
The rest of the soldiers and horses are all marching west with Ben Shuai! ”
"Yes!" When the three of them heard this, they shouted loudly.
Therefore, on the sixth day of the fifth month, more than 20,000 Chu soldiers and soldiers couldn't help but take a warship and with the assistance of more than 30,000 auxiliary soldiers and farmers, they rushed towards Wanzhou City.
……
On the tenth day of the fifth month, Wanzhou City.
At this time, Wanzhou City was already closed with four gates, and it had entered the state it should have in wartime.
Now, in order to resist the menacing attack of the Chu army, the defenders of Wanzhou City have not spent any time mobilizing tens of thousands of people and farmers in the city to assist the defenders of Wanzhou City to defend the city. It was also the first time that he issued an order to Liangshan Prefecture and Wuning City to transfer troops for help.
However, it is also as Bai Xi analyzed. At this time, the righteous army guarding Liangshan obviously had the idea of sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight and waiting for the price to sell.
For the bald order to transfer troops for help, he simply did not pay the slightest attention. It's just that he didn't move, and he didn't come out of Liangshan City.
In this way, relying only on the soldiers and horses of Wuning City and Wanzhou City, but in terms of troops, Yuanmeng fell into disadvantage as soon as it was convenient.
Therefore, in order to ensure that Wanzhou City, the gateway city of Qinglu, is not lost, the completion of Linjiang City, Qinghuizhou, and Chongqing will not be able to start mobilizing troops and horses to prepare to support Wanzhou.
But it will take at least ten days.
Therefore, in this way, whether or not the city can be kept from being lost and the troops that contain the attack of the Chu army will be watched for the next ten days.
Therefore, in the next period of time, in order to win, the two sides couldn't help but start attacking each other by any means.
……
"Kill!" Outside Wanzhou City, where the four gates were closed, an earth-shattering roar couldn't help but sound again.
One after another, under Guo Yu's order, couldn't help but carry all kinds of siege equipment like a tide towards the heavily defended Wanzhou City.
"Archer, prepare!" Seeing this, the bald man on the city wall couldn't help but roar angrily and issued a military order. Then he looked at the Chu soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and he couldn't help but slam his arm, "Release the arrow!" ”
"Whoosh !!" The loud sound of arrows breaking through the air followed his roar.
Then he couldn't help but see the arrows like rain, and they smashed into the Chu army like a black tide.
"Poof! Burst!! Yes!!! The sound of blood spurting out of the arteries and screams echoed through the Kuroshio.
Even if most of the Chu soldiers wore this armor at this time, they could face this indiscriminate covering attack. However, there were still many unlucky soldiers who were shot in the limbs, neck, cheeks and other places that could not be covered by the armor.
Thankfully, the arrow's covering attack didn't cause much casualties.
It was only after losing less than 100 people that the soldiers of the Chu army who were like a tide once again crossed the moat that had been filled up as early as the day before yesterday, pushing and carrying all kinds of siege equipment, until they reached the city of Wanzhou.
"The people in the third row, give me a shield to defend, the second row will hold the ladder for me, and I will rush up the rest!" As a member of the vanguard army, the Great Chu team was Fu Youde who once again led his soldiers to the city of Wanzhou. He couldn't help but shout and calmly gave the order to attack the city.
And hearing such an order from him, the soldiers of Chu who ordered the prohibition were also the first to carry out their respective tasks in accordance with Fu Youde's orders.
Therefore, in this way, the most elite platoon of troops under Fu Youde's account couldn't help but climb on the ladder with short blades under the leadership of various commanders, and launched an ant-attached siege.
However, the city wall of Wanzhou City is more than four zhang high, in order to strengthen the defense, Wanzhou not only built the urn city, but also built the outer city wall every sixty steps to build a horse face.
As a result, the archers on the walls of the city not only did not have dead ends when attacking. The archers who defend at the horse face of the city wall can easily flank the enemy army attacking the city.
Under such circumstances, just climbing to the middle of the city wall, Han Hu, the head of the row under Fu Youde's account, could not help but be injured by the arrows coming from the side.
"Ahh Brothers, rush with me!! "Because he was wearing plate armor, the arrows on the side barely shot half an inch into his body. Therefore, this kind of injury not only failed to make Han Hu, a fierce pawn, lose his combat power, but also aroused his ferocity.
In this way, regardless of the arrows still hanging on his body, he continued to climb up at a faster speed.
"Damn it, get out of here. Labor and management don't believe it, this thief can't be beaten with iron! Seeing this, an officer and soldier on the city wall couldn't help but be angry and moved. With a scolding scold, he snatched the one-stone hard bow of his subordinates, pulled the bowstring, and wanted to shoot the soldier in front of him who was killing himself.
"Not good, be careful, general!"
"Whoosh!"
"Ah!!h A cry of pain came, and Han Hu, who was climbing up with his head bored, couldn't help but feel a stream of heat pouring from the city wall onto his helmet and neck.
Therefore, he couldn't help but subconsciously look up.
"This!" But it was a Yuanmeng general dressed as a hundred-household official, and he was directly penetrated by a flying spear from the bottom up. And the heat poured on his helmet and neck was the blood splattered from the bodies of the hundred household officials.
"Han Hu, you bastard, why are you stunned, don't hurry up!"
"Yes, my subordinates obey!" Hearing the angry scolding of his own team, he thought that his own team was stunning. Han Hu instantly understood how the Tartar general died, so he hurriedly agreed, and continued to climb up quickly.
And perhaps it was because Fu Youde's stunt also frightened the other soldiers around him, so in the next step, Han Hu didn't encounter any obstacles, and easily climbed the city wall of Wanzhou City.
"Kill the Tartar!" Quickly ascending the city wall, Han Hu roared angrily, and his face couldn't help but look very excited.
After all, he was the first of their team to climb the city wall, and he definitely didn't run away.
And this means that even if he dies in battle, the king will give his family a pension of fifteen acres more than others.
Of course, Han Hu definitely didn't want to die.
Because judging from the merits he has accumulated now, as long as there is a vacancy for the platoon commander in the base camp, he, Han Hu, can directly be the leader of the thirty platoon commanders.
Therefore, in order to be able to "succeed and retreat", Han Hu couldn't help but really turn into a mad tiger and desperately attacked the enemies around him.
He knew that only in this way could he, as a pioneer of the first climb, survive the enemy group.
"Hurry up, rush for me, rush up. Han Hu, he won't be alone for long! Under the city, seeing his subordinate Han Hu successfully ascending the city wall, Fu Youde couldn't help but look happy. But immediately after, he couldn't help but give such an order.
But yesterday, their brigade commander also briefly climbed the city wall.
But in the end, the group of pioneers, under the enemy's tidal counterattack, still inevitably ended dismal.
It's because he really doesn't want his soldiers to end up like this.
But since it's a war, how can everything be so satisfying?
No, when the Yuanmeng defenders who reacted began to gather and mobilize troops and horses here, the group of soldiers who climbed the city wall couldn't help but start to suffer casualties.
"Poof, poof!"
"Ah!!h
A sharp spear pierced through the blood-stained plate armor with unstoppable force. The intense pain couldn't help but make Han Hu, who was covered in blood, let out a heart-rending cry of pain.
"Up!" The spearmen on the side of the Yuanmeng officers and soldiers shouted.
The few spears that I saw through my body couldn't help but lift Han Hu's broken body from the ground.
"Ah Hu !!" Under the city, Fu Youde, who saw this scene with his own eyes, couldn't help but let out a deafening roar like an angry lion.
However, he had the heart but was powerless, but he could only watch his beloved subordinates being thrown off the city wall like this.
