Chapter 48: San'in City is broken

Yang Bo looked at this group of strangely dressed enemy soldiers who suddenly appeared on the edge of the battlefield, his face was a little ugly, in this kind of battle situation is anxious, any slight change in the vitality of the enemy and our own will determine the direction of victory or defeat, he quickly waved his hand to summon the county soldiers defending the city, and ordered them to shoot two waves of arrow formations to try the depth of this thief army.

However, the next scene broke Yang Bo's last luck, only to see that in the face of the rain of arrows, these thieves scattered, or stopped or galloped, or flashed or squatted, except for a few three or four fell, the rest converged together and rushed straight to the city wall.

"Shoot again!"

The soldiers of the city obeyed the order and carried out two waves of small-scale arrow rain cover, but the result was only a handful of casualties. Seeing that these thieves were getting closer and closer to the city wall, but the county soldiers no longer bent their bows and arrows, Yang Bo shouted: "Why stop, don't shoot quickly!" ”

The soldiers of the county looked at each other by rubbing their sore arms, and then a soldier who was usually a little bolder cautiously reminded: "Yang Gong, we have been shooting for several rounds, and we really can't pull the bowstring." ”

Yang Bo knew that he was speechless at this time, the Han family doctor has always flaunted the six arts, paying attention to getting on the horse as a general, and getting off the horse as a phase, this bow is a one, he also practiced it when he was young, and he knows the situation.

The bows of these soldiers were all one-stone strong bows, and from the beginning of the enemy's night attack, they kept opening their bows and arrows, and they fired at least twenty or thirty arrows, and it was reasonable that their arms were weak because they had not been properly rested.

However, although this matter is reasonable, it is suspected of colliding with the chief, so Yang Bo stiffened his face and scolded loudly: "If you can't pull the bowstring, you can still afford to hold the wood and flying stones, when will this be?" The thief army is attacking the city, and life and death are tied to a wall, how can you allow Deer to wait for a sneak! ”

"Wait and watch." After saying this, Yang Bo stepped forward and bent down, exerted his arms with strength, lifted a large stone and threw it at the recess between the two women's walls.

The stone fell by inertia, made a slight arc of descent on the wall about three feet high, and then smashed the head of a thief who was about to climb up the bamboo ladder.

Seeing this, Yang Bo laughed a few times, and there were a lot of worries in his heart, these thieves have the advantage of weapons, but they rarely have armor to protect themselves, so if the thief has a helmet to protect his head and is hit by the big stone, although he will inevitably die, but he will not die so miserably.

And this has an inseparable relationship with the Han family system, the Eastern Han Dynasty as a part of the so-called Qin and Han First Empire in later generations, it has a distinct classical militarist legacy, in the deep pavilion under the national mobilization mechanism, every adult man must receive a certain military training, so the proportion of the people armed for the crown of the later dynasties, a good bow, a good lance are enough to become heirlooms.

But at the same time, in order to maintain their own rule, sharp weapons such as rhubarb crossbows and armor were strictly forbidden by the rulers, such as the Western Han Dynasty Emperor Jingdi's Taiwei and Prime Minister Zhou Yafu because of the anger of Emperor Jing in the matter of the abolition of the crown prince Liu Rong, coupled with stubbornness, many times with Emperor Jing, and later was put into prison on trumped-up charges of "secretly hiding armor and attempting to rebel".

The dignified prime minister, Zhou Yafu, who had the merit of saving the country, was still imprisoned because of the armor that his son prepared for his funeral, and the proportion of this private armor can be imagined.

However, this joy did not last long, Xu Sheng's Chiyou elite soldiers had already reached the base of the city wall, they took out a wooden short spear about five feet long from the rope noose on their backs, and projected it towards the city wall with the force of their arms.

The subtle "whoosh" sound in his ears broke the air, Yang Bo first showed a different color, and then looked frightened, and he didn't care about etiquette, his body rushed straight forward, and rolled to the right a few times.

Then, I saw dozens of short spears flying overhead, and the soldiers who were stunned by Taishou's sudden action were suddenly shot squarely, although they were all armoured, but they also killed two or three, and wounded five or six, only the one standing behind escaped the catastrophe.

Seeing that the rest of the soldiers were still there in a daze, Yang Bo stood up, pointed to the bamboo ladder leaning against the women's wall, and scolded angrily: "Why are you waiting for the rest of the soldiers to be stunned, why don't you hurry over to the imperial guards?" ”

Many soldiers woke up like a dream, and hurriedly stepped forward and shrank behind the female wall, and in pairs, holding weapons, stabbed the bamboo ladder down.

But at this time, the opportunity has been lost, and then there are several rounds of short spear projection deterrence, a bamboo ladder on the left side of the city wall finally because of the defense, was climbed up the city by a Chiyou elite soldier, and then he roared with a spear to stab the throat of a soldier who rushed to defend, and the rest of the soldiers saw that their comrades were so miserable, not only did not rise to the same hatred of the enemy, but they were all frightened by it, and they had the intention of sparing their lives, so that although the long soldiers were in hand, they did not dare to move forward.

However, on the battlefield, he couldn't help but hesitate, just a moment, another Chiyou elite soldier climbed the city wall, and then from the point to the face, the north wall of the Sanyin county city has become a total rout.

Half a moment later, Liu You, who organized the Imperial Guard Army on the south wall of Shanyin, also learned the news of the rout of the northern city wall, his eyes widened, and he asked urgently, "Where is Yang Gong?" ”

The messenger said in a low voice: "Back to the county, Taishou seems to have been captured by thieves. ”

"How so? How so? Liu You sighed a few times, and almost fell to the ground, although the north city wall is where the main attack of the thief army is, but it is also the place where the main force of the Han army in this city is guarded, how can it be defeated so quickly, but the matter has come to this, it is useless to say more, or think about what to do next.

Thinking of this, Liu You frowned, his two black and white eyes slowly turned, and then he said in a deep voice: "Spread my general's order, and the soldiers of the eastern, western, and southern walls retreated to the county guard mansion in turn. ”

"No." The herald must be ordered.

Liu You also began to organize the evacuation of the soldiers on the south wall, in addition to the sadness in his heart, there is also an indescribable sense of comical, since Yang Bo took office, in addition to the tyrannical expropriation, it is a large construction project, and the county guard house is magnificent, the wall is high and the courtyard is deep. In the past, I secretly despised it, but who would have expected that today it has become his only remaining straw, and the irony of the world is nothing more than this.

……

"The minister is the king of Hezhi, and now that Shanyin is down, the king's hegemony can be achieved."

"Hahaha." Xu Sheng, the king of Yue, laughed a few times, and said proudly: "The vertical son is not wise, and he is angry with the praying mantis, don't you know that his defeat today is already the insight of the widow!" ”

Xu He echoed and said a few words of compliment, and then looked at the open city gate, his mind was surging, although he was already dying and decrepit, but the prince was seventy, fishing Qishan; Lian Po is old, he can still fight for food, and since the male husband was born in the world, how can he do nothing, how can he die without a sound? An Neng is as busy as the general erector Li Shu, if so, even if Peng Zu has the longevity, where is the relationship with the husband? How can you have the face to meet the ancestors and ancestors under the endless netherworld? What's more, the ugliness of the family has not been repaid!

Xu He remembered some memories of the past, which had been sealed for so long that he didn't want to recall them.

He was born in the second year of Yongchu (108), is a native of Ancheng, Runan County, Yuzhou, his father is a local Xiaohaoqiang, he studied and practiced martial arts at a young age, and had great ambitions, but he had no choice but to be chaotic, the center was sluggish, and the dynasty was difficult to revitalize.

Emperor An, Emperor Ying, Emperor Shun, and the Son of Heaven are like watching flowers, changing one after another, but the situation of the empire is sinking day by day, he is angry, and often acupuncture current affairs with the scholars of Runan counties, and scolds those silverfish of the country - eunuchs and relatives.

However, on July 21 of the third year of Emperor Shun Yangjia (134), he went to attend the gathering of the scholars in Runan again, and said more generous words during the banquet, although he won the praise of the scholars, but he also realized the truth, and was calculated by the powerful Wang family of the same county, and everything he said was detained as "criticizing the minister, talking nonsense about the government and politics, and trying to do wrong", followed by the tragedy of the family's ruin.

And he was lucky to get relief from his friends, but he had to change his name and surname, escape from Sangzi, and die in the world; Then by chance, he came to Yangzhou Huiji, and was rescued by Xu Sheng's father Xu Xun. He was twenty-six years old that year, still in the prime of life; Now, in the first year of Xiping, he was sixty-four years old, and he was already old, and he had been so wasted in the remote place of Yangzhou for the past 38 years.

Xu He was ready to die and bury himself in another country, but unexpectedly, Xu Sheng staged such a ridiculous farce for himself.

From the beginning, Xu He was not optimistic about Xu Sheng's rebellion plan, because he knew that although the empire was no longer what it used to be, it was not something that one or two small thieves could shake; But the head of his own family was reading and reading badly, and he wanted to be lonely and widowed wholeheartedly, so Xu He had no choice but to let him go.

However, Juzhang, Yuyao, Shangyu...... Everything is going well like a dream, today, Shanyin City is broken, Huiji County is in hand, Wu County has also opened its mind, and the future is simply bright.

Xu He was not naΓ―ve enough to break through a small Shanyin and arrogantly rise up to the idea of "he can take his place", not to mention anything else, that Taiwei Duan Cheng conquered the Qiang people of Liangzhou, but he also trained a team of nearly 100,000 elite soldiers for the imperial court; In addition, the border armies of Youzhou and Bingzhou have resisted Xianbei, Wuhuan, Northern Xiongnu and other barbarians all year round, and their strength should not be underestimated.

And this will be ridiculous, sparsely populated and few, even if you count the power of Yangzhou as a state, it is difficult to resist the imperial army, but if you can't beat it, can't you escape? This southern water network is dense, and most of the northern cavalry will be abolished as soon as it comes, and they rely on their geographical advantages, how can there be a reason why they can't run away?

However, several encirclements and suppressions have been ineffective, and Yangzhou is not the heart of the empire, but just a contemptible place, how can the current finances of the imperial court persist for a long time? At that time, he persuaded the king to summon the Zhuyue in the mountains as an army, crusade against the counties, occupy Yangzhou, and restore the story of the Qiang chaos in the northwest!

And the heroes of the world saw this, and swarmed in the four fields of Kyushu, the world is chaotic, you can raise troops to the north, revenge on the family to destroy the enemy.

"Runan Wang's family, wait and wash your neck and wait!"
