Chapter 428: Xiliang Xing (60)
"Marshal, look, General Wu is here. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Pioneer Wu Qing hurriedly walked to the head of the city.
Du Ran looked back, called Wu Qing over, and said, "Wu Qing, what is the difference between the Tang army under the city and the past?" ”
Wu Qing poked his head and looked at it, sighed lightly, and said, "Huh? It doesn't seem to be in formation? ”
"Haha... Not bad! ”
Du Ran looked at the generals and said, "What's the matter, this is the gap!" I can't even see this, what soldiers do you bring, what kind of battles do you fight? ”
Wu Qing frowned and said, "Strange, why didn't Xu Maogong set up a formation today, so he wasn't afraid that my iron cavalry army would rush out?" ”
The generals next to him also reacted, looked into the distance, and after being stunned, they also said, "Yes, why is there no formation?" ”
Everyone knows that Du Ran did not lead the army to attack, more than half of the reason was that he was afraid of Xu Maogong's formation, as soon as the formation came out, even if there were 80,000 cavalry, he had to weigh it, after all, the other party also had hundreds of thousands of troops.
But now, the formation is gone...
All the generals were active, thinking about what was wrong, and suggested to Du Ran, saying: "Marshal, you give the order, the last general is willing to lead the troops to rush out!" ”
"If the enemy army has no formation, our army will definitely win!"
"Wait..."
Du Ranren was very careful, even if there was no formation, he had to let it go, in case this was Xu Maogong's strategy, no one could say. In his words, there can be 10,000 victories, but there must not be a single defeat, otherwise there will be no return. What victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, it's all in him, and if he loses, he dies, and it's still a common thing?
Wu Qing said: "Big brother should be careful, I think it must be Xu Maogong's plan." Aren't they going to attack the city, let's let him attack the city, anyway, we won't suffer a loss in defending the city, if we really can't hold it, it's not too late to rush out again, and if they hold it, their consumption is not small. ”
"Reasonable."
Du Ran and Wu Qing sang and harmonized, and the generals next to them were speechless to the extreme, in their eyes, Du Ran and Wu Qing were less courageous than rats, and they had never taken the initiative to attack, which made them very aggrieved.
"Ugh...."
All the generals couldn't help but sigh.
Knock knock...
Suddenly, the sound of war drums came from under the city, and I saw that 10,000 troops came out, and the front one carried a lot of siege equipment, ladders, door cars, pontoon bridges, siege towers, trebuchets, etc., everything, overwhelming. Behind were 10,000 men, all swordsmen and shieldmen, as well as archers, intertwined with each other, covering each other, marching in neat steps.
If Sun Fu and Li Dejiang, who were in Yincheng, could see this scene, they would definitely sigh, what is the real military appearance, and what is the real siege soldiers. Compared to the Tang Army, their army is not even bullshit.
The army advanced and came to a halt about five hundred paces from the city walls, and ten trebuchets were placed every two zhang, lined up, facing the towers in front.
"Reload!"
"Put!"
Whoosh...
As the herald shouted, ten boulders were thrown up by the trebuchet, crossed the sky, and smashed the Qinglong City in front of him, like a meteorite, as fast as lightning.
Du Ran and Wu Qing only felt a gust of wind coming from the surface, and when they looked up, a big black dot was getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, and finally turned into a big stone and smashed on the city tower.
Suddenly, the entire castle tower shook, and Fangru seemed to have been hit by thunder, if it weren't for the wall pier, it is estimated that the people standing on it would have been able to decline.
Du Ran shouted: "Squat down and pay attention to concealment!" All crouch down.... ”
There are a lot of people standing on the castle tower, even if they squat, it has no effect, but if they stand behind the wall pier, they are fine, and they can be covered by the wall pier. But the wall pier is so wide, and how many people are hidden, most of them squatting in it, becoming a living target for the boulder.
Bang!
As soon as Du Ran squatted down, a boulder flew over his head and smashed behind him, Du Ran turned around, only to see that two soldiers had been poisoned, one had no arm and had a heavy blow to the head, and the other was directly headless, and the red and white brains burst out everywhere, in short, it was miserable. Even if he was used to seeing life and death like Du Ran, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
"Trebuchet... It's amazing! ”
Du Ran said: "It seems that Cheng Yanjin is really going to attack the city, not like a strategy." ”
Wu Qing squatted next to Du Ran, and also nodded: "Yes, the last general also has this idea, if it is not a plan, then we can kill it, and wait for the stone throwing to stop..." ”
Without waiting for Wu Qing to finish speaking, Du Ran said: "You, immediately go to the school field, order 50,000 cavalry, go to the inner city to standby, and wait for me to give an order, that is, kill out of the city!" ”
"No, no, no... Big brother, I think 50,000 is a bit much. ”
"What do you mean?"
Wu Qing said: "Big brother, you think, although it doesn't look like a strategy, but if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, what if it is a strategy, the last general means, let 5,000 cavalry rush out first, 5,000 people are enough to destroy the enemy army besieging the city, and can break the enemy formation, we can see whether the enemy army is a plan or not, if not, let's gather all the cavalry and kill it together, we will definitely be able to win, and on the contrary, we just lost 5,000 people, and the Tang army also lost more than 10,000 siege elites, we will not suffer." ”
"Haha... You can say that again. ”
Du Ran laughed happily, Wu Qing's idea was right in his arms.
"You go now, gather five thousand cavalry and stand by."
"Yes."
Wu Qing responded, and when a boulder had just fallen, he ran quickly towards the city.
At this time, the trebuchet had already fired three rounds, consuming thirty boulders.
For this battle, Cheng Yanjin prepared 500 boulders, which is still a long time before the end of the throwing; The besieging army was standing behind trebuchets, and all the soldiers raised their heads and looked up at the battle ahead.
Cheng Biting Jin, Xu Maogong, and Wei Chi Gong, the three of them rode horses and stood in the Chinese army, Cheng Biting Jin frowned and said: "Stinky old Dao, your plan is not effective, why hasn't the enemy come out yet?" ”
Xu Maogong shook his fan and said, "Don't worry, this time, he has to be fooled." ”
"What do you think, why didn't they lead 80,000 cavalry to kill, aren't they just worried about the ambush of my formation, now that I haven't set up a formation, and my troops are scattered, he won't kill it to pick up the cheap?"
"I can see it, this Du Ran, it's seven points of certainty and no fighting, nine points of certainty and no fighting, and he has to wait until he is very sure that he will fight with all his might, he is not fooled, who is fooled."
Cheng Yanjin said: "Seeing that you are so confident, I don't know if it's true or not, I take it seriously." ”
"Take it seriously, just watch it."
Xu Maogong said with a smile.
Wei Chigong snorted: "When the enemy army rushes out, I will let Du Ran taste my iron whip." ”
Xu Maogong chuckled and said: "General Wei Chi, I'm afraid your iron whip won't be able to hit him, Du Ran won't come out, as the marshal of Zhengnan, how can he go to danger in person, he is not the kind of reckless person." ”
Wei Chigong snorted: "He didn't dare to come out." Such a person can also be a marshal.... ”
Xu Mao said fairly: "You don't understand, it is this kind of person who can be a marshal, if everyone is like you, and others will come forward to fight as soon as they challenge, then Qinglong Pass has already been captured eight times." ”
Wei Chigong: ".... ”
He was speechless.
