Chapter 610: Two Great Generals Sing Double Reeds
Chapter 610 The two generals sang a double reed
Outside Shunyang City, Niu Gao led the army to let go of the North Gate and the West Gate, only around the South Gate and the East Gate, this is Niu Gao's cleverness, the siege of the city on all sides seems to be foolproof, but it is easy to provoke the ferocity of thieves, this Shunyang City is Wang Qing's so-called royal capital, for many years the city of Shunyang City built the city wall is thick, as for the city guards there are more than 10,000 people. More than 10,000 thieves, relying on the city, really want to fight hard, then even if Shunyang is captured, the loss will not be small, this battle, Niu Gao only wants Shunyang City, and does not seek effective killing. As for letting go of the west gate and the north gate, it seems that two roads have been given, but in fact, the thieves can only flee north.
There is Xichuan City in the north, and there may be Wang Qing's army that will come later, but what about the west, is it possible to enter the Yongxing Military Road and compete with the Dingguo Army for the Guanzhong? Just kidding, it's too late to hide, and I still hope that the hinterland of the national army will be inserted, isn't that a fool? So it seems to be two roads, in fact, there is only one road left for the thieves, Niu Gao thinks very simply, now that Dengzhou City has been taken by Xiao Yue, the thieves have lost the opportunity to enter Xiangfan in the south, if all the thieves are concentrated in Xichuan, when the army is besieged, Wang Qing's forces will be annihilated in one fell swoop.
Wang Qing has always valued Shunyang, because this is his old nest, so when he left, he not only left the general Bairen, but also left Wushun to help Bairen. This Wu Shun is a native of Dangyang, his family background was good when he was young, and his literary style was first-class, among the Huaixi soldiers, except for Li Zhu, he was the most proficient in military arts. How to say it, Wang Qing's mind is good, but he doesn't look at the facts of people, Wu Shun is a little capable, but he also has a lot of problems, first of all, he talks and acts sissy, like a eunuch. It's annoying. Secondly. Wu Shun has an arrogant personality and seems to be looked down upon by everyone. Since Wang Qing led the troops away, there was no constraint, and Wu Shun began to dictate the affairs of Shunyang City, and sometimes he had to take care of how the defenders of the city took shifts. At first, Bai Ren was able to tolerate more, which shows that Wu Shun did not know how to restrain himself. After becoming more and more presumptuous, he suddenly became a little angry, no, seeing Wu Shun coming out of the palace, Bai Ren shook his beard and snorted angrily.
Bai Ren didn't give Wu Shun a good look, Wu Shun's above-the-top temperament would not give Bai Ren a good face, and when he walked by, he still had his mouth cocked. Neither yin nor yang snorted, "Vulgar martial arts." It's not worth mentioning, your legs are split, it's like killing pigs and dogs on the street! β
Wu Shun's mouth is really too bad, if he says anything else, Bai Ren will not hear it for the sake of the overall situation, but he can say what to kill pigs and dogs. Before Bai Ren was a pig cutter in a remote town before Huaixi soldiers (ah, the uncle explained, this pig is to sterilize sows and sterilize veterinarians, and until now there are still some towns without veterinary hospitals that specialize in sterilizing livestock). Since becoming the general of Huaixi, Bai Ren's most hated thing is to mention the past again, maybe Wu Shun is just a casual mouth, but it just touched Bai Ren's sore spot, I saw Bai Ren yell, stomped his feet and said angrily, "You fake man, you are in such a hurry, do you want to be a good official?" β
Bai Ren grew up in the market, if he was not Wushun's opponent in terms of reasoning and fighting, he could talk about harming people, and he could say ten sentences in a row without a dirty word. But no, listening to Bai Ren's words, a few soldiers next to him couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh twice, Wu Shun was angry enough, his fair face became gloomy, and he raised his thin eyebrows and said, "Who do you say is a fake man, you are a fake man, shameless thing." β
It's good that Wu Shun doesn't scold, this scolding makes people laugh more, because Wu Shun's voice is sharp and thin, isn't it just a little woman's voice? Coupled with that fair and ruddy face, it is simply a rabbit in the flower building.
"You wait" Wu Shunqi's face was red and his neck was thick, and he couldn't speak for a while, and finally flicked his sleeves and left angrily.
After Wu Shunqi ran away, Bai Ren also put away his smile and said to the subordinates next to him, "Okay, don't laugh, hurry up and check on the city, don't let the officers and soldiers pick up the cheap." β
The leaders naturally responded to do things, but after a while, the deputy general Hu Jun returned, "Brother Bai, the surname Wu is a bad person, and he will be revenged, today you let him plant such a big face, you have to be careful in the future." β
"Don't worry, although Wu Shun is not a good person, he will not collude with officers and soldiers and harm Hu, right?" Bai Ren is this problem, sometimes it is easy to offend people, but he doesn't think about people in a bad way. Hu Jun blinked, he was speechless for a while, why is General Bairen of our family so naΓ―ve, if it was before, Wushun really didn't have the intention of colluding with the imperial court, but now that Dengzhou City is besieged, and the king is blocked in the north There is no news, Wushun is more active, what is impossible?
Hu Jun knew that Wu Shun was careful, and deliberately reminded Bai Ren that he would never think that Bai Ren, a big old man, would not take it seriously, but Hu Jun could only hide from Bai Ren and instruct his cronies and brothers to keep an eye on Wu Shun. Shunyang City is not very peaceful, but Niugao is very quiet here, on the ninth day of the lunar month, the army of Niugao besieged the city, there was no movement at all, and on the tenth day of the lunar month, there was still no movement. At this time, Bai Ren began to wonder, what did that Niu Boyuan want to do, did he lead the army to run into the ice and snow to freeze? Finally, on the eleventh day of the lunar month, the Dingguo army finally began to act, the longbowmen blocked the city, and the soldiers escorted hundreds of strange things to the outside of the city wall, only to see that the thing looked like a trebuchet, but it was much more convenient than a trebuchet, and after watching it for a long time, Bai Ren didn't understand what it was.
Niu Gao is a real person, and quickly answered the doubts for the thieves at the head of the city, which is indeed similar to a trebuchet, but the making is light, and the weight is lighter, and it is not good to throw stones, but it is still possible to throw thunderbolts. In the past two days, Niu Gao didn't do nothing, he asked people to block the perimeter of the city wall, seal it tightly, and sent Wu Song and others to cut down wood to build simple trebuchets, although the quality of these trebuchets is not very good, but it is still possible to support this siege battle. In the Baili Plain near Shunyang, where did the stones come from for Niu Gao to use, so Bai Ren had never been prepared for trebuchets to attack the city, but he forgot that it had just snowed. After the snow, it is not suitable for attacking the city, but when the heavy snow brings inconvenience to the national army, it also brings the same benefit, isn't there no trebuchet? Let people build snowballs, which everyone can build, and they are easier and easier to make than stones. An army of 20,000 people got one for each person. That's 20,000 snowballs. So when the rows of big snowballs didn't push down the formation, Bai Ren's face turned green with fright.
is really worthy of being the Variety Bull Demon King, this bull has fought so many battles, and it seems that he rarely does it with real swords and guns, either playing conspiracy or taking advantage of other natural times and places. With Gao Zhong's order, hundreds of broken trebuchets were thrown together, and the first round of large snowballs smashed into the city in a graceful arc, although it was difficult to kill people. But it can smash and hurt people, a thief with a spear, even people with guns into the big snowball, and when someone pulled it away, the whole person was already shivering from the cold, and some of the snowballs fell on the hard city wall and immediately became shattered. Bai Ren's department was smashed by more than 100 big snowballs, and after so many years of fighting, it was the first time he was smashed with a snowball, and Bai Ren didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Bai Ren is uncomfortable. Niu Gao was also grinning in anger, and he didn't blame Niu Gao for being angry. In just the first round of throwing, several trebuchets fell apart, knowing that the quality of this hastily made thing is not up to par, but isn't it too damn too much, where is this trebuchet, it's just a pile of tofu dregs. Niu Gao was embarrassed to complain about Wu Song, and suddenly said angrily to Gao Chong, who was closest to him, "Gao stunned, what kind of thing did you get this, you yourself quietly, only one round of projection, you destroyed seven cars, can you do it, can't you go home with your mother-in-law and children." β
"You're big-eyed, what kind of fart are you putting on? Isn't there still one in the back, it's broken, you can't go up again, Gao is not one of those carpenter masters, it's good to be able to support these things for you, what else do you want? What are you staring at, is someone really afraid of you? β
"Gao stunned, what did you say?" Niu Gao is also short-tempered, plus as the righteous brother of King Qin over the years, his status in the army is respected, and few people dare to challenge him in person.
Most of the soldiers of the Dingguo Army know that General Gao and General Niu don't deal with each other, as if it is not normal for these two people to meet for two days without a fight, but this battle before the battle, is it too much? When Yang Zhi and Wu Song saw the posture of the two generals, they were so frightened that they stood up, and hurriedly ran up to hug one by one, waiting for them to separate, Wu Song hurriedly persuaded, "General Niu, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, this trebuchet is supervised by the last general, and it has nothing to do with General Gao." Don't we still have a spare, hey, what are you still doing in a daze, quickly make up for the spare, and hurry up and project it on the city. β
Wu Song is really simple, this is completely to make up for quality with quantity, as for the final effect, who knows?
Bai Ren was panicked, lying on the head of the city to see that General Gao and General Niu almost didn't fight, and immediately overjoyed, but he was not happy for a while, the big snowball flew again, this time the big snowball never stopped, and it was thrown for half an hour, and when those trebuchets fell apart, half of the big snowball was left. However, at this time, the entire aisle of the southern city wall of Shunyang has been filled with thick snow, and many unlucky thieves have been buried in snowdrifts. The Dingguo army did not attack the city, but Bai Ren was busy directing everyone to dig out the snow with various tools, and after such a long confrontation, Bai Ren didn't know what kind of battle he was fighting, just kidding, you used up all the trebuchets and didn't attack the city, what did it mean, and flooded the southern city wall of Shunyang with snow.
Another hour passed, the Dingguo Army still did not attack the city, not only that, outside the city in front of the Dingguo Army, General Niu and General Gao also staged a real PK, the two generals are peerless fierce people, Niu Gao held a double mace or smashed or split, Niu Gao also did not give in. It is estimated that the two generals are really crazy, Wu Song and Yang Zhi wanted to go up to stop them, but they were beaten back by the two after a while, there was no way, Yang Zhi was ruthless, and asked people to find two big nets to net the two embarrassing generals back.
Although they couldn't fight, the two of them still scolded, and when they all returned to the big tent, the two tiger-strong generals didn't scold, Niu Gao touched his chin, rubbed the blue place, glared and said angrily, "Gao Changke, are you really dead?" β
"Hey, that's amazing, isn't it your bad idea? You still have to act a little more seriously, okay, don't wait for your bull's eye, won't Lao Tzu be hit twice on the buttocks? β
Gao Pet is open-mouthed on weekdays, as soon as these words came out, Niu Gao's face was blackened, what is this called, who hit your ass twice, if you don't know, you still think that he Niu someone has some bad habits.
Yang Zhi and Wu Song looked at each other, they didn't understand what happened for a while, Niu Gao didn't bother to explain, waved his hand and said, "Wudu head, go and give the order quickly, put more secret sentry tonight, it is estimated that the thieves will attack at night." β
Listening to Niu Gao's words, Wu Song and Yang Zhi, two honest people, immediately understood that the two generals were acting, but was this play too real? Also, the nearly 200 tofu scum trebuchets are all disguises? Wu Song wondered how to attack the city at first, because even if he used a big snowball to bury the aisles of the four walls of Shunyang City, it would not be easy to climb to the top of Shunyang City. No wonder General Niu has always taken care of the overall situation, but this time he got angry and played real PK with General Gao in front of the battle.
In Shunyang City, Bai Ren was very happy, because he found that his own opportunity had come, that Gao Pet and Niu Gao had always been suspicious, as if they had done a lot of fighting, this time they had a conflict again, the Dingguo Army camp must be lax, if you can break the Dingguo Army camp at night, the siege of Shunyang City will be solved. Speaking carefully, Niu Gao and Gao Chong's strategy is not very clever, but the two of them acted too really, and they couldn't help but believe it, and Wu Shun, who was a little brainy in the city, was thinking about how to Yin Bairen, and didn't notice the abnormality outside the city at all.
On the eleventh day of the lunar month, in order not to attract the attention of the Dingguo army outside the city, Bairen also sneaked out of the north gate and went around the flank of the Dingguo army's camp in the south of the city from the west. At the beginning of the twelfth day, after confirming that most of the people in the camp were asleep, Bai Ren ordered a night attack, but what made Bai Ren vomit blood was to attack the perimeter of the camp and slash down with his sword, only to find that the man's head had rolled on the ground several times, but the man was still standing. It's a dummy, today is the twelfth day of the lunar month, there should have been a bright moon, but it's cloudy recently, and there is no moonlight with this, which also led Bai Ren to kill until he found out that it was a dummy.
It's not good, I was fooled, Bai Ren immediately turned around and ordered to withdraw, at this time, there was a loud roar, and on the west side of where he had just hidden, a torch was lit, and a group of fierce horses rushed over, and immediately a black-armored warrior, "Haha, thief, you really fell for it, Gao is here, are you willing to surrender?" β
Bai Ren is also a wild fierce man, where is he willing to surrender, stretched out his arms, carried a big knife and sneered, "Gao Manzi, who do you think of a certain family?" People live for a lifetime, but there is a death, and today Lao Tzu will fight with you! (To be continued......) R1292
