Chapter 93: If the enemy doesn't come, I'll go
In the face of the siege of the Liukou like adding oil, Liu Wenxiu coped with it very easily. I didn't expect that the rogues who made Yang He, Chen Qiyu and others rush to fight only have such a fighting level, they really looked down on them.
Liu Wenxiu followed Zhu Shunming, and the battles he participated in in the past were all fought with less, and the battles were very difficult.
With his strong will to fight and tenacious fighting spirit, Liu Wenxiu won the title of "Rock" for his army.
Now, although Zhang Xianzhong's department is besieging the city with nearly 50,000 people, and Liu Wenxiu's department has only about 1,000 people in the west of the city, there are only dozens of rogues who climb the city wall from the cloud ladder at the same time.
As far as the part of the western city wall is concerned, Liu Wenxiu's troops have an absolute advantage in numbers.
Liu Wenxiu's soldiers and horses were rigorously trained, had adequate food, had a stable family, and were well-armed.
On the other hand, the rogues are hungry and poorly clothed, their weapons are messy and uneven, they wander around and have no fixed place, there is no tomorrow, and the only advantage of having a large number of people is lost in the local location of the city wall.
Therefore, it is normal for Liu Wenxiu to deal with it very easily. With more fights and fewer fights, excellent to make do, and strict battles to be lucky, how can the officers and soldiers be invincible?
………………
He Jiuyi shouted happily, but he was not as good as Ma Bao in the real war. He had 5,000 men and horses, except for the four or five hundred men and horses in the old camp, the rest were improvised strong men.
The soldiers were unclothed and scrawny, with tattered weapons in their hands, and some even rushed forward with sharpened sticks.
He Jiuyi said that the first rogue who rushed to the city was full of food, and the women in Wuchang City were given priority.
These rogues hovering on the verge of hunger and life and death were like hungry wolves smelling blood, their eyes were shining, their steps were hobbling but extremely fast, and they ran towards the city wall, clumsily but firmly climbing the ladder, and constantly climbing to the city wall.
………………
Are these armies? Liu Wenxiu was a little sad.
How are the rogues under the city like soldiers? Some are gray-haired, some are shorter than the spear in their hands, some are so thin that a gust of wind can blow them down, and some have some difficulty walking.
The technical and tactical level of the rogues is also almost non-existent. Whether it is the formation of the charge or the climbing skills, whether it is the ability to fight alone or the consciousness of forming a company and battalion, the rogue has no one. They fight entirely on instinct.
Although Liu Wenxiu took pity on these rogues, the orders he gave were ruthless.
"Units, be careful, don't attack too hard, don't scare the enemy away. Only a dead enemy is a good enemy. ”
Thousands of men and horses gathered under the city, shouting, cheering, cheering, striking, screaming, and falling to the ground were all in one place, and it was very lively.
Like ants, they climb the city wall by the ladder, giving courage and hope to the rogues under the city.
Attack the city wall, take Wuchang, enjoy the big fish and meat, and the beautiful women and beauties ravage casually...... The pie drawn by the rogue officer motivates the rogue minions to attack one after another.
The battle is hot and the situation is good, but it is impossible to take this not very high city wall. No matter how sluggish He Jiuyi was, he knew that something was wrong.
Zhang Xianzhong's yellow face became dark, and his gloomy triangular eyes were like sharp knives, staring at He Jiuyi, so frightened that He Jiuyi walked smoothly, and his words were incoherent.
"Big ...... My lord...... Feeling...... The situation is not ...... Not quite right...... Ah......h
Of course, Zhang Xianzhong knew that something was wrong.
When Ma Bao's department attacked, Zhang Xianzhong was far away, the water vapor blocked the view, and he couldn't see it really, I don't know why Ma Bao couldn't take the West City Gate for a long time.
Now that He Jiuyi's troops are attacking, Zhang Xianzhong is watching the battle in Xicheng, and the situation of the enemy and us can be seen clearly.
As soon as the battle began, Zhang Xianzhong found that the officers and troops defending on the city wall were unusual.
Holding on to luck, Zhang Xianzhong did not stop the attack of He Jiuyi's troops, but witnessed He Jiuyi's troops constantly climbing up the city wall to die along the ladder specially left by the official army.
Perhaps he also intended to use the hands of the official army to eliminate the weak soldiers in the army.
"Don't you like women? When you take Wuchang, give you the ugliest old woman, and a stick of incense in front of everyone. ”
Zhang Xianzhong is tyrannical and deep, and the methods of punishing people are also very strange.
If He Jiuyi's psychological quality is not too strong, if he is punished like this, he may become a wilted brother.
"Strategist, you say, the defenders in Wuchang City are really Zhu Shunming's soldiers? Will the Inland Guards be so strong? ”
Zhu Shunming exalted his prestige in Yunnan, killing the local people to be frightened, not many people in the Ming court knew about it, and the people were not famous.
Naturally, it is impossible for Liukou to know that Huguang is hiding a fierce tiger that has experienced blood.
Even if he knew that Zhu Shunming's soldiers were powerful and he had not fought in person, the rogues would not be convinced.
Xu Yixian pondered for a moment and said, "Regardless of whether the defending army is Zhu Shunming's army or not, it is impossible for there to be more than 10,000 officers and troops in Wuchang City. ”
"The official army just now is indeed strong, no less than the Tianxiong army of King Lu Yan and the border army of Cao Wenzhao. If there were many of them, they would have gone out of the city to meet the battle, instead of huddled in the city and waited for us to attack the city. ”
"We are indeed a little underestimated and arrogant, the siege is not well prepared, the means are single, and the tactics of adding fuel are even more taboo."
"It seems that Wuchang City is not easy to fight. We have been preparing for a long time, and we can't give up easily. It is better to suspend the siege, build equipment, and probe for intelligence, and wait for Lord Sun (Sun Kewang) and their soldiers and horses to arrive, and advance in parallel with the east and west, and strike a thunderous blow, which is the best strategy for attacking the city. ”
Zhang Xianzhong knew that it would be difficult to take Wuchang City with the equipment in his hand alone, so he had to order the siege to be suspended. The army searched for timber and built siege equipment, and at the same time sent scouts to contact Sun Kewang's troops in the east to inform Wuchang of the situation and agree on a date for a joint siege.
………………
Liu Wenxiu felt very uncomfortable. As soon as he warmed up, the enemy gave up attacking, as if he had just rubbed it, and the woman screamed that she couldn't stand it, which made Liu Wenxiu feel extremely uncomfortable.
Men have a desire to attack. Even if Liu Wenxiu defends well, he also has a heart that gallops across the board. How can passive defense be as refreshing as active offense?
Since the enemy does not come, then I will go.
At dawn, the morning star hung alone in the air, faintly able to see the faint light emitted by the sun's laziness, the dew on the grass and trees, the early insects greedily absorbed the rain and dew, and a few wild dogs could not move under the city, and from time to time they made a few noises, declaring their territory.
The city gate opened silently, and Liu Wenxiu led a heavily armed assault team to quickly pounce on the defenseless rogue army.
The rogues never imagined that the officers and soldiers would dare to go out of the city and attack the camp. The officers of the rogue spent the night in the cabins, and the minions built bonfires and slept on the baked ground, without even a barracks.
After a tiring day, he slept early, hoping to wake up tomorrow to see the new sun. For the numb rogue minions, being able to stay alive is everything.
"Boom ......"
The grenade exploded, opening the prelude to the attack on the camp.
