Chapter 463: Kill Zheng Zhi and then attack the city
In Huizhou New Town, the sunshine is not warm, but it just adds some warmth to this season that has just entered winter.
There was a thick smell of blood in the air, and the corpses were scattered one or two hundred steps away from the city wall, and at the time of the truce, there were many carriages outside the city, which were collecting the corpses, and the people in the city would not stop these corpses.
In such a season, the corpse will not decay quickly, and it can be kept in the wild for a long time, and when the snow falls, it will still be the same as when it first died for three or four months.
It will be more than a month before it snows, but the temperature has already dropped. You can also see the white mist when you are angry.
There were more than 20,000 soldiers in the city, but now there may be less than 8,000 people, and the arrows and rolling stones and wood are also consumed about the same, and now it is the time of hand-to-hand combat, and the wooden ladder erected on the city wall can always climb up many party members who are not afraid of death, and these party members are also extremely brave in battle, and will always bring many casualties.
There are now nearly 30,000 casualties among the 100,000 party members outside the city, and if they can't attack the city again, the morale of the party members will probably not be able to hold on.
Wei Ming Renming was so anxious that he frowned all day long, and he didn't see a smiling face.
Even King Shu Renli didn't want to be so frivolous at the beginning, and he was a little taciturn, this was the first time he really faced the tragic battle formation. When I saw the Song people attacking Lingzhou City, I didn't see such a tragic scene.
Song Dog is cowardly, after all, it is just the words used by the party members to slander the Song people, not the real fact. If the Han people in the Central Plains were really so cowardly, how could the party members surrender to the Han people when Li Tang was in power. Song Gou's cowardly sentence obviously also contains the party's own lack of self-confidence, the more unconfident they are, the more people will say something that despises each other.
Wei Ming Renli seemed to remember something, and said, "Renming, why don't you ask the craftsman to build a ladder truck?" When Zheng Zhi attacked Lingzhou, I was there, and I used that kind of tall ladder car to rush up to the city. ”
Wei Ming Renming shook his head and said: "The ladder car takes time to build, and there is a lack of carpenters in the army, so it can't be built." ”
What Wei Ming Renming said is also true, when Zheng Zhi besieged Lingzhou, some people had food, and it took a long time to build a ladder truck. But Wei Ming Renming did not tell all the facts, the party craftsmen, the craftsmanship is really much worse. The ladders and walls on the ladder truck are not difficult, but the huge wheels and bearings that can drive the ladder truck forward are not so simple.
When pushing the ladder truck, how to keep the erected side object from tripping over the obstacles on the ground is also a technique.
After more than ten days of fighting, Shu Wang Renli finally felt a little weak, and complained: "The back of the city gate is blocked, you can't attack it, and you can't climb the city tower with a long ladder. Is it always so consumed? ”
Although Renming was anxious, he was extremely firm in his heart, so he was not disturbed by King Shu's emotions, and only one sentence popped out of his mouth: "Take human lives to fill in, and see how long the old dog of the Liu family can last." As long as this city is broken, Qin Feng of Song, no city can stop our pace. ”
Shu Wang Renli nodded, and only said: "That's the only way, fortunately, the forbidden army in the northwest has become farmers, and recently I heard that the old dog of the breeder was called to Bianliang by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, so it can be regarded as God helping me in Great Xia." Eat this hard bone, within Qin Feng, there is gold, silver, grain and grass everywhere, and we have no worries. ”
Qin Feng originally had an attached strategy, and there were many familiar Qiang who came down from the mountains in the territory, and the news that the seed master had gone to Tokyo couldn't hide it. More than 20 days later, it was finally known by the party members.
Wei Ming Renming stretched his brows slightly, and shouted: "Order, an hour after lunch, and then attack the city." ”
The city is not big, and it is surrounded by heavy party troops. In the era of cold weapons, why did most of the world's wars revolve around cities? Only because of the ancient war, only the city has a road, the army and the baggage, it is impossible not to take the avenue, if you bypass the city, it will inevitably cause the consequences of the enemy on the belly and back, and the baggage will also be attacked by the enemy.
After all, the method of sneak attack is only a small episode in a big battle, although it can often perform miraculous feats, but it also increases the chances of victory on the frontal battlefield.
Although there are some small differences in nomadic warfare, sometimes they will go deep alone, just because they rely less on baggage. But the method of going deep alone is also a dangerous way to be attacked from all sides, just to gamble on a bargaining chip.
Liu Fa walked slowly up to the city with his old legs, Liu Fa's health has been getting worse and worse recently, people don't take their muscles and bones as their ability, and the general has a white head, always with a sense of sadness.
The left and right generals wanted to come forward to help, Liu Fa glanced at it with his eyes, and everyone stopped their movements, and followed Liu Fa to slowly go up to the city.
Holding his hand on the battlements and looking around, Liu Fa opened his mouth and asked, "The corpses on all sides are almost closed, right?" ”
"Xianggong, take it all." A general replied.
Liu Fa nodded, frowned slightly, looked around again, and said, "In the afternoon, the party should attack the city, and the city tower should be demolished." ”
There are city towers in the four gates, although the city towers are not built tall, far less than the inland cities, but they are also stones and heavy wood, and they can also be used to defend the city.
"Xianggong, did you really demolish the city tower?" The generals hesitated a little in their hearts, the city tower was not just a useless building, the generals were in command, transmitting military information, storing rations and water, and ordnance and materials to be used. You can also stand high and look far away to observe the enemy's situation. The soldiers and men can sleep in the cold at night, and they can all be in the city tower.
When there is no war, it also has the role of reporting time and sentry. The castle tower is also the majesty of a city. The good city tower has been demolished, and I can't help but hesitate.
"Tear it down, do it quickly, as long as you defeat the party project and build it again." Liu Fa naturally didn't care about those things, it was useless to put the city tower there at this time, and he could kill a lot of enemies if he dismantled it.
"Yes, I will take this to dismantle it." This general doesn't say much, as long as Liu Fa gives the order, it will naturally be demolished.
The sun was setting slightly in the west, and the drums were rumbling.
The party members outside the city sorted out the queue a little, but they were still scattered, these people were not well-trained generals, although there was no shortage of brave warriors in battle, they couldn't stand in line after all.
He didn't care about this, he just ordered people to beat the drum.
When the drum sounds, even if the pace is not neat, it can be shocking.
The rain of arrows streaked across the sky, and Liu Fa staggered down again. Most of the soldiers at the head of the city were down to the towers and were accustomed to these procedures. Only a few remained above the castle and hid behind the battlements.
When the shouting and killing sound was near, the soldiers went up to the city again, and the rain of arrows was still there, although most people had iron armor, but they were also wailing all over the ground, dozens of steps away, the iron armor could save their lives as they could, but the arrows pierced into the flesh, and the pain was unbearable. There are always some unfortunate people who are shot by this rain of arrows in the face where the door is connected to some other armor, and after falling to the ground, the blood does not stop.
The battle array is free to talk and sing in the book, and the real scene is only one word "dead or alive", where can you think about what is not hot-blooded. Heroes or anything, it's all an ordinary thing, in the face of life and death, as long as you don't turn around and run away, which one is not a hero.
The ladder was erected again, and the more and more it was erected, no matter how many arrows poured down, no matter how many people could be killed if the stones fell. The long ladder still slowed down the battlements.
Many of the people who reached out to push were shot like hedgehogs, and even so, there were still countless people who got up and tried to push the ladder down, even if they were hit by a few arrows, they pushed it sharply.
Wait until you push to a long ladder and turn around and pull out the arrows that have been shot into your body. When I looked up again, the long ladder that had fallen was erected again.
A teenager with a knife in one hand and an escalator in the other, climbed up quickly with his legs. The speed is extremely fast, and when you look up, a small stone is about to fall. Hurriedly dodged next to the long ladder, his legs were already hanging in the air, and he could only grasp the long ladder with one hand.
After dodging the stones, he hurriedly struggled to climb up again.
Until he was afraid of going to the city, he jumped hard, and the long knife in his hand quickly slashed at the person in front.
The man stabbed with a spear in his hand. The long knife slashed into the shoulder through the iron armor, but the force was too small, and the knife had just entered the bone before it was stuck in the body. The spear also came, directly piercing the child's unarmored body.
The blood-soaked spear pushed the party kid straight into the air outside the city wall, but the party kid still didn't let go of the long knife, and grabbed the spear in one hand.
The figure fell from the air, and brought the Western Army man from the battlements at the head of the city together, and the others hurriedly came to pull, but it was too late.
Both fell from the city.
There were only a few broken bones under the city, and the party child was already dead, and the man of the Western Army had both legs broken, although he was dazed, he also subconsciously pulled out a short knife from his waist and waved it around, cutting several people's legs and feet to bleed.
In an instant, countless spears and short blades came, and the fallen Western Army man passed away in a dazed state with a hideous expression.
This is war! There is no romance, no emotion, only cold weapons and cold corpses.
"Report !!! Dashuai, twenty miles to the south, there are many ironclad knights and foot soldiers. A party scout rushed to the stage to report to the general.
Renming jumped up from his seat, looked south, and asked, "How many people?" ”
"There are three or four thousand ironclad knights, and more than 10,000 foot soldiers."
"What flag?" Renming asked again.
The scout took out a small wooden plaque from his bosom, on which he carved a Chinese character with a knife. Naturally, this scout could not read Chinese characters, so he could only draw a scoop according to the gourd and engrave the Chinese characters on the banner on the wooden plaque.
Wei Ming Renming took the wooden sign and looked at it, even if the handwriting was seriously out of its original shape, it could still make Wei Ming Renming recognize the word "Zheng".
Zheng Zhi came, Zheng Zhi finally came.
Wei Ming Renming handed the wooden card to Shu Wang Renli, and shouted: "Mingjin collects the troops." ”
Shu Wang Renli looked at the Chinese characters on the wooden card, his expression changed, and he hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”
Although the two of them were mostly about how to kill Zheng Zhi on the spot, Zheng Zhi really came, and both of them had solemn faces.
I only heard Wei Ming Renming speak: "Leave 20,000 horses to surround the city, I will take 50,000 horses to block it, kill Zheng Zhi and then attack the city." ”
Shu Wang Renli hurriedly continued: "Very good, very good, we must defeat Zheng Zhi." ”
is the words of the two, and the judgment has already been made. Wei Ming Renming wanted to lead the troops to kill Zheng Zhi, but Wei Ming Renli subconsciously said a sentence to repel Zheng Zhi. Obviously, Shu Wang Renli was extremely jealous of Zheng Zhi in his heart.
