Chapter 155: Timely Reinforcement: Internal and External Attack
"Poof!" Zhao Ziliang cut off the head of an enemy soldier with a knife, and a large amount of blood splattered on his face.
Several more enemy troops attacked from behind, Zhao Ziliang instinctively spun his short body, swept the horizontal knife in his hand, and several enemy troops were swept off by the waist.
A few more people stabbed with spears in the back, Zhao Ziliang rose into the air, a few spears pierced the air, Zhao Ziliang's body fell, pressed on the spear, and the horizontal knife in his hand was slashed horizontally, and several heads were cut off and rolled down in the pile of corpses.
It has been two days and two nights since Moduo launched the siege, and Zhao Ziliang has fewer and fewer troops at his disposal, and now he has to go into battle to fight the enemy in person.
After the siege of the first day, Modo also touched some siege skills, so he set up suspicious soldiers, feinted on three of the city walls, and focused on attacking the east city wall, which made Zhao Ziliang unable to concentrate his forces to defend.
The defense is always passive, even if the people who are experienced in defending the city are, they can't withstand the endless tricks of the enemy, the battle on the east city wall is the most tragic, Zhao Ziliang can only keep drawing troops from the other three city walls, but he can't draw too many troops at a time, so as to prevent Mo Duosheng from attacking the west.
Zhao Ziliang's more than 100 subordinates have already lost half of them, the city wall is in chaos, the battle is going on to such an extent, they can only fight on their own, Zhao Ziliang is covered in blood, and there are at least more than 100 enemy corpses lying around, all of which were killed by him, and these corpses were either cut off or cut off by the waist.
In order to take General Pei City as soon as possible, Modo sent all his elite Tuoba troops to attack the city, and more than 10,000 people were deployed under the four city walls, which can be said to be all of them. Faced with this situation, Zhao Ziliang also had to send all the cavalry to defend the city, otherwise the troops would be seriously insufficient.
In the siege of the city for two consecutive days, Zhao Ziliang had already lost more than 2,200 people, and Moduo's losses were even worse. At the cost of 3,500 people a day, they attacked day and night, and the total number of troops was lost more than half, and finally the city wall was attacked, but the Tang army on the city wall was still stubbornly resisting.
And not long ago, the Fire Spitting Fairy sent five thousand slave soldiers from Shattered Leaf City to reinforce it, which made Mo Duo more confident. Now that the besieging troops have attacked the city wall, they can take the city wall and attack the city as long as they work harder.
Seeing that it was noon, the besieging troops were exhausted, the losses were too heavy, the time on the city wall was too long, and the morale had dropped, and Modo had to order: "Give an order to collect the troops, so that the soldiers can eat and drink enough to fight again!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
After the retreat of the Turgish. Zhao Ziliang continued to chase and kill the slowest enemy soldiers, put the horizontal knife on the ground and gasped, and all the enemy corpses within a radius of more than ten meters around him were killed by him, no less than 180 people.
Wei Meng staggered over with a white cloth stained with red blood tied everywhere, and asked in a hoarse tone, "General, are you okay?" ”
Zhao Ziliang was not injured this time, and as the number of battles increased, his combat experience became more and more abundant. The body's instinctive response to danger is also becoming stronger and sharper. If it weren't for the fact that there was too little space to move around the city walls, he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
"I'm fine. It's all the blood of the enemy! It's you, you don't look very good, maybe you have lost too much blood, you go down to rest, I'll just look at it here! ”
Wei Meng shook his head and said, "The generals don't rest, how can their subordinates rest?" ”
At this time, there is also a shortage of manpower. Chu Ge, Liang Qi and Huo Kan, who were in charge of the West Gate, the North and South Gates, and the North Gate, were all injured, and even fierce generals such as Li Siye were slashed twice and almost died, Zhao Ziliang was not reluctant, he said: "After the Tuqi Shi people have eaten and drunk, they will soon attack again. Now let's count the wounded and the corpses of our soldiers at once, throw all the corpses of the enemy off the city wall, clean up the city wall, prepare arrows and other equipment and supplies to defend the city, and let the men bring food and food! ”
Wei Meng promised: "No! ”
In the afternoon, the Turks really launched the siege again, after the siege began, the Turks first used infantry to climb the city wall with dozens of ladders, and then used archers to suppress the Tang army on the city wall, Zhao Ziliang immediately sent archers to counter-suppress, the archers on both sides consumed each other in this non-stop shooting, the Tang army's bow and arrow range is long, the accuracy is high, the range of the bow and arrow of the Turk is short, the accuracy is poor, but the number of people is large, so the two sides are equal, this is purely consuming each other, to see who can consume whom.
Just after the Turgish infantry climbed the ladder to attack the city, and the archers on both sides were firing at each other, Wang Can, the captain of the sentry team, quickly ran up to the city wall and reported to Zhao Ziliang, who was watching the enemy army under the city with full attention: "General, our army's sentry eagle has found a cavalry coming from the direction of the Dongfang River Valley, the number is about 4,000, and it is now ten miles away!" ”
Zhao Ziliang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Didn't General Fumeng Lingcha send troops to quickly reinforce me?" ”
Wang Can said: "It should be!" ”
Zhao Ziliang calculated, according to the road conditions in the river valley, the cavalry could not run at a speed, and it would take half an hour to walk ten miles, so he immediately said to Wang Can: "Go and prepare four hundred cavalry, count the general's subordinates, let them wait under the city gate, and after half an hour, go out of the city with the general to kill the enemy!" ”
"No!"
After Wang Can left, Zhao Ziliang called Wei Meng: "Pass the order, let the soldiers hold on for another half a day, hold on to today, and the main force of the army will arrive tomorrow!" ”
Wei Meng was a little surprised, "General, is this a real horse?" According to the marching speed of the main force of the army, it will take at least two days to arrive! ”
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "You just have to say that, General Ben has his own measure!" ”
"No!"
After Wei Meng passed on the words, the morale of the soldiers increased significantly, the archers shot arrows faster and more accurately, and the sword and shield hands slashed more powerfully.
This time, Moduo once again invested more than 1,000 troops, and Zhao Ziliang on the city wall only had less than 300 people, except for the archers, the sword and shield soldiers were even less, because they had to worry about being shot by the bow and arrow of the Tuqi Shi people under the city, the Tang army swords and shield soldiers on the city did not dare to show their bodies to push the siege ladder, they could only wait for the enemy to climb up to cut and kill, and some Tang troops were killed instead of killing the enemy, so they were rushed up to the city wall by many Turgist infantry, and so on, there were more and more Turgist Shi people on the city wall.
"Get out of the way!" Zhao Ziliang shouted, and the Tang soldiers who were blocking the front retreated with swords and guns.
Zhao Ziliang strode forward with a golden nail jujube lance in both hands, and said to the soldiers of the Tang army: "Twenty people follow me, and the others go to defend the city!" ”
The golden nail jujube yang lance in his hand was made by Zhao Ziliang to be elusive, the head of the lance kept swallowing, shaking out twelve flowers like lightning, and the enemy soldiers in front of him were stabbed in the throat and fell to the ground to death, his footsteps did not stop, and his hands did not stop, the enemy corpses fell to both sides like cutting wheat, and more than 20 people were killed in a blink of an eye.
The enemy troops behind saw Zhao Zilong so brave, they were so frightened that they retreated, some people were already frightened, and they jumped off the city wall, and the servants protected Zhao Ziliang's left and right sides, so that he could concentrate on dealing with the enemy troops in front.
With the cooperation of the servants, Zhao Ziliang didn't have to worry about being attacked behind and on the left and right sides, and the killing speed was faster, and after a while, the section of the city wall that had just been lost was quickly recovered, and the city wall was covered with corpses.
In such a round trip, all the enemy troops who climbed the city wall were swept away, and there were no more enemy troops on the city wall, and the soldiers were much safer.
Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, Zhao Ziliang had seen a figure appear a few miles away on the city wall, took out a monocular and looked, sure enough, it was our army, and the one who ran in front on horseback was Fumeng Lingcha, and there were soldiers holding his banner behind.
Zhao Ziliang immediately put away the monoculars and called Wei Meng to instruct: "The reinforcements have arrived, General Ben has prepared four hundred cavalry, and he will immediately lead his troops out of the city to fight with General Fumeng inside and outside, and I will hand it over to you here, and I will defend it for Lao Tzu, if something goes wrong, Lao Tzu will settle accounts with you!" ”
Wei Meng immediately said: "General rest assured, unless the enemy steps on my corpse, the city wall will not be lost!" ”
"Good!"
Zhao Ziliang turned around and went down the city tower to the city gate, four hundred cavalry were ready, Zhao Ziliang took the reins of the war horse Wuli from a servant, turned over on the horse, and shouted: "Open the city gate!" ”
"Open the gates!"
After the city gate was lowered, Zhao Ziliang raised his weapon and shouted: "Soldiers, our reinforcements are behind the enemy, now go out with this general, kill-"
"Kill-" The soldiers of the Tang Army shouted, holding their weapons and following Zhao Ziliang to kill.
The Turgish soldiers who were attacking the city outside the city were stunned when they saw the city gate being opened, and immediately swarmed after reacting, trying to rush into the city gate, but they did not expect Zhao Ziliang to lead a large group of cavalry to rush out, and the Turgish infantry in front was knocked away on the spot.
Zhao Ziliang's hand in the Jinding Zaoyang lance kept swinging and sweeping, was swept by this heavy weapon, not dead also lost half of his life, the enemy army was swept away, a road was cleared out in this way, his army was like a nail, inserted into the army of the Turk, but then rushed forward at high speed.
"The gates are open?" Moduo, who was in the military formation, saw Zhao Ziliang leading the army rushing out, and was stunned on the spot.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden rumbling sound from the rear, which made Modo's face change drastically, and when he looked back, he saw a Tang cavalry rushing into his back, but wherever he was impacted, his soldiers all retreated.
Modo was shocked, how could the reinforcements of the Tang Army come so quickly? Now that the enemy is being attacked on the back of the abdomen, the morale of the army is shaken, and the sons and daughters have no fighting spirit, and they will be more auspicious and less auspicious to stay at this time! He immediately shouted: "Retreat, retreat!" ”
At this time, it is not easy to retreat calmly, Fumeng Lingcha himself is a fierce general, under his leadership, four thousand Tang cavalry rushed into the back of the Tuqi Shi army as if no one's land, plus Zhao Ziliang rushed out of the city gate with four hundred cavalry, under the front and rear attacks, the Tuqi Shi army immediately collapsed, and the soldiers threw down their weapons and fled, where did the Tang soldiers let go of this good opportunity to kill the enemy, and pursued all the way to the city of Broken Leaves, only Moduo led hundreds of cavalry to escape into the city, and the others were either captured or killed.
