Chapter 125: Battle (2)
Gray oil smoke rolled over the city, and whenever the yellow-brown liquid poured down, the screams in front of the battle were like a hell, screaming from top to bottom, and finally falling into the dust and turning into stepping stones.
The crossbowman, who had been aiming at it for a long time, snapped the clamp and nailed the Qin army, who was exposing most of his body to operate the guard, on the city wall, and then quickly twisted his waist and pedaled, and opened his crossbow again to prepare for it.
It was difficult for the Qin army, which was not superior in numbers, to compete with the Chu army for crossbow arrows, and it was difficult to raise their heads after being pressed for a while, but soon, they used their brains on the flying ladder again.
Long bamboo poles poked out, and the only siege passage instantly became shaky, and the sergeant who was climbing up tried to lean forward to keep his balance, and in the end, he had to kick his desperate legs and close his eyes to resign himself to fate.
Recruits need to be brought by veterans, and the difference can be seen at this point.
The guy who had been in the battle formation for a long time roared, blocked the defender's bamboo pole with his blade, and took advantage of the inconvenience of the opponent's bamboo pole adjustment, untied the flying claw on his waist and threw it round, and the tight rope re-stabilized the flying ladder, which was considered to temporarily save the lives of a string of people.
While the defenders had not yet come to their senses, the old pawn quickly pulled, and the top of the ladder was set up on the city head again, and at the same time, a pole halberd poked out, and hung the city wall with a small branch to stabilize the flying ladder, but the price was that the Qin army had a good time to reap the lives of the veterans who rushed to the front.
The battlefield has always been so cruel, just like a big wave sweeping sand, in the scene just now, the recruits who can learn from each other grow up quickly after experiencing this battle, and the guy who loses his courage and closes his eyes early and waits for death is destined to rot in the mud.
The two sides go back and forth against each other, consuming time and blood, and until the final victory is decided, both armies that gamble with their lives are losers.
Xiang Ji became more and more impatient, the halberd kept scratching on the ground, and the black horse snorted behind him sensibly, and from time to time stretched out his rough tongue to lick the back of his hand, or tore a few times to comfort him.
Yu Zhou kept watching the battlefield change, and his fingers were on the hilt of the sword.
Fan Zeng stood very far back, he looked at the people who were gearing up with a look of "don't listen to the old man's words and suffer in front of him", sighed, closed his eyes and said nothing.
The sun will not stop specifically to wait for anyone, as the figure on the ground gradually shifts, this battle has been continuing, and the Chu army has climbed to the top of the city several times and was driven down, and the sharp spirit was slightly frustrated.
If it is another army, after returning several times without success, it may be lacking in stamina, and even need to take a break to take turns to fight, but Yu Zhou clearly felt that this group of guys seemed to have learned his arrogance first after following Xiang Ji, and the more he was driven down, the more he refused to admit defeat, his heart was pressed against the fire, and he held back his strength in his hands, waving his sword and halberd and vowing to fight for your life.
The Chu army is like this, and the Qin army at the head of the city is not lagging behind, and I learned from Lian Feng that the opponent this time has a terrible proportion of old Qin people, and the whole world knows that the resilience of the Qin people is the most famous.
The originally gloomy sky gradually peeled off the fog, and the rays of sunlight sprinkled on the earth, and the sudden clear sky not only did not make people feel better, but because of the changes in the weather, it became a little dry.
Seeing that Xiang Ji turned around again and again, the fire in his eyes was about to come out, Yu Zhou didn't move at all, behind the two of them, Zhang Liang got a broken bald feather fan out of nowhere, and shook back and forth pretendedly: "Such a way of fighting, even if you can win the county and this city today, it will be a lot of damage, but the young general has to train the army?" ”
An ordinary inquiry, which happened to be said when the war was unfavorable, was asked by Xiang Ji, who was high-spirited, and he immediately regarded this sentence as a question: "What are you talking about!" Xiang Mou is going to take this city, so as not to let the soldiers do anything! ”
Following a temperamental gangster, Zhang Liang has long been accustomed to this kind of verbal collision, and he didn't care after being topped, and said calmly: "If the young general ascends the city, the Qin army will inevitably take out a hundred times the strength to surround it, so that you will not be able to advance or retreat." ”
Xiang Ji laughed wildly: "The ovary is wrong, I want to see how they make me unable to advance or retreat!" ”
Zhang Liangyu pointed a fan: "Have you ever noticed that the reason why our army's offensive is unfavorable is because the Qin people have long been prepared, and there are many bamboos in the city, in case the cloud ladder and flying ladder launch ant attachment." ”
Xiang Ji frowned: "Can't you?" If this is the case, then our army's flying ladder should not be able to climb the city wall? ”
"This is the cleverness of the Qin people, if it is too desperate, our army will inevitably want to attack the city with him, and after a long time, Xiapi will not be able to keep it.
Therefore, they deliberately set aside some hope, which can not only attract our soldiers to die generously, but also firmly control the battle situation. ”
"Just like what happened in the alley, we can only go up one by one to die?"
"Exactly!"
Xiang Ji knew that he was not the one who planned and strategized with others, but he hated being tricked with the general calculations the most, his pupils shrank, his temper suddenly came up, and there were countless people with a wave of his halberd: "Hmph, this time Xiang Mou personally went into battle, I see who can stop the Qin army!" ”
"It's better not to."
"What? Is this also said? ”
Zhang Liang smiled bitterly: "Our army has crossed the river for a long time, and it is normal for the appearance and attire of the major general to be known to the enemy, Zhang Liang is worried, if the Qin army is also prepared for this, it will not be good to attack when you are in the air and have nowhere to borrow strength." ”
These words are not unreasonable, Xiang Ji is not afraid of everything because of his bravery, especially after suffering losses in several military exercises, he is quite measured about his strengths and weaknesses.
Thinking of the military exercise, he changed his mind again: No matter how much the Qin people probe, they must not be as familiar with themselves as the sub-period, right? Could it be that they can also be so well prepared, with chains and cowhide ropes? The city walls are not suitable for digging traps, right?
Reading the meaning of Xiang Ji's eyes, Yu Zhou persuaded: "Be careful, you are now the chief general of the three armies." ”
Fan Zeng, who had been silent for a long time, also spoke: "Although the Mingguang armor is strong, it can't protect you, and besides, this armor is eye-catching, and it is natural for Qin Jun to pay more attention." ”
Since the three of them were persuaded like this, Xiang Ji did not continue to be stubborn, he looked at the Qin Chu sergeant who kept falling from the city, and said unwillingly: "Do you want Xiang to watch his subordinates suffer casualties all the time, and go forward to step into the Qin army one after another?" ”
Old man Fan twisted his face: "The old man said that this battle is a long-term plan, who told you not to listen?" If the attack weapons are ready in two days, how can there be such casualties now! ”
Yu Zhou sighed, and said in his heart that at this time, what is the use of arguing about these right and wrong, which will make Xiang Ji lose face, and will only push his heart farther and farther.
Fan Zeng's thoughts, he and Zhang Liang both understood, nothing more than to prove that they were right, so that Xiang Ji could listen to his words and follow his deeds in the future, but the way the old man and the half-grown son who had just passed the rebellious period got along was really bad.
At this time, in front of the two armies, it is better to say 10,000 words of teaching, as long as you help Xiang Ji defeat the Qin army, I believe that even if the big man doesn't say it in the future, he must have realized in his heart, isn't it a hundred times better than a dry shaved face?
Sure enough, after hearing this, Xiang Ji's neck stiffened, and the bull's temper came up: "In the past, the Great Chu was a blockbuster, if my Chu army didn't have a little bit of a scorn, how could I dominate the world?" This battle doesn't bother the master, Xiang will definitely defeat the enemy today! ”
Fan Zeng teased and wanted to open his mouth, but after hearing this, he stood in place and clicked his lips, and didn't say anything, Zhang Liang wanted to comfort both sides, but was glared at fiercely by the old man, so he could only keep signaling with his eyes.
The problem is that Xiang Ji and his IQ are not on the same line, there is no such high tacit understanding, and he stares at him for a long time, but he still doesn't understand what he means, and he can't manage so much in his heart, and he is about to go out with a halberd.
Yu Zhou put himself in his shoes and thought about it, and felt that the Qin army wanted to break the siege unless he made up his mind on Xiang Ji, and he didn't agree with the main general to go into battle in person, but he couldn't say it directly, so he had to say euphemistically: "Brother Yu, if you want to go into battle, you have to be fully prepared, what the two military advisors said makes sense, and Mingguang Armor is indeed too conspicuous." ”
Xiang Ji raised his eyebrows: "Xiang someone's halberd is the best preparation, what else do you need?" The armor is eye-catching, is it possible for me to take it off? ”
"Then take it off and go into battle again!"
Fan Zeng couldn't help but turn his head and speak: "The kid is rude!" How can the confrontation between the two armies be such a child's play? , don't say that you can't wear armor, the old man who will put on armor is not at ease, and removing the armor before the battle is even more ridiculous! ”
They are all hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, Xiang Ji's eyes softened after hearing this, but he said: "Okay!" Dealing with this group of local chickens and dogs, what is Xiang afraid of in light clothes? Let's go! ”
Now Fan Zeng was really anxious, he also knew what the apprentice's temper was like, and it was useless to persuade him, so he turned to Yu Zhou and said, "Yu Zi Period!" No matter what Yu'er misses, your little sister must get married! ”
From this point of view, the old man's vision is very accurate, and he immediately grasped the key to the problem, since Xiang Ji was instigated by Yu Zhou, then he should be responsible.
Whether you advance or retreat, you Yu boy might as well think about the consequences, just rely on the past understanding, and you don't dare to joke about your sister's happiness!
That's right, but using marriage as a threat on the solemn battlefield seems somewhat absurd, which shows that Fan Zeng is really anxious.
Who knew that Yu Zhou didn't eat this set at all this time: "No problem, I will also go into battle this time, Brother Yu quickly took off his armor, and after changing it to Han Xin, let's choose people." ”
As soon as he said that he would change his armor to Han Wangxin, all the people present understood that this person's figure was similar to that of the young general, and it didn't hurt to stand in the distance and pretend to be it, but even if they went to fight a sneak attack with a fake and real thing, what tricks could they play?
Fan Zeng couldn't figure it out.
After Xiang Ji quickly unloaded his armor, he threw the nearly two-meter armor to the ground, and the silver swaying Mingguang armor stood on its own in the wind, like a terracotta warrior.
"Come on, get another set of armor for Han Zhuangshi!"
Just like animals guarding food, Xiang Ji is extremely possessive of his own things, and he does not want to borrow armor and the like.
Yu Zhou finished laughing, and pulled him away: "When you go to the city, it is inconvenient for the long soldiers to carry, let's find some elites and strive to take the ......city in one go."
"All of Xiang's accounts are elite!"
The two walked away as they spoke, leaving only Han Wangxin and the two sergeants looking at each other.
Zhang Liang stretched out his hand to keep and advise, but was blocked by Fan Zeng.
"Let them go! There are only some ladders in the main formation of the siege on all sides, and they will have to come back sooner or later! ”
Zhang Liang was right to think about it, maybe the two of them just went to prepare, and after the young general and the sub-general said the plan, it was not too late to judge whether it was feasible.
The Chu army's offensive continued unabated, and the Qin army was full of resilience, just when both the offensive and defensive sides thought that the day was going to pass like this, Zhang Liang suddenly noticed that the defenders at the head of the city had undergone a subtle change.
It stands to reason that the main formation is in the southern city, and the two armies are gathering while fighting, and the troops are also piled up on the southern city wall, but after a while, he found that the Qin army was quietly drawing troops, and even a few times the wall was lost.
The Chu army is based on the city wall, and the casualties are naturally greatly reduced, so that the Qin army can ignore it, what happened in the city?
Strategists are good at thinking and thinking, Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang are both this kind of people, and the slightest change can be seen by them in the opportunity, and then build infinite possibilities.
On the occasion of this opportunity, Old Man Fan said arbitrarily: "Order the left and right armies to attack the city at the same time, the old man wants to see how long the Qin people can hold out!" ”
"Whoa! Strategist...... It's getting dark. ”
"It's okay, it's a big deal to fight at night!"
