Chapter 201: Blocked Anshi City
The next day, as soon as the military ordered, Cheng Yanjin took Han Shige and Dongfang Yumei and 10,000 troops to Anshi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Yang Wanchun of Anshi had already gotten the news, they cut down all the trees outside the city, and gathered all the villagers in the city to prepare for a battle to the death with the Sui army.
After Cheng Yanjin arrived, he did not rush to attack the city, but let people set up camp and let the soldiers repair and recover. In the evening, he said to Han Shiwen: "Shige, Third Brother Li said that this Yang Wanchun is resourceful, since he said so, he must have his reasons." What do you say Yang Wanchun will do when his troops are insufficient? ā
Han Shige frowned and said: "If I were Yang Wanchun, I would be the first to defend the city, and drag it out until we run out of food and grass or the weather is cold, and we will naturally retreat." The second is to take the initiative and defeat us by surprise, and the best way to do this is to rob the camp. ā
Cheng Yanjin nodded again and again: "The words of the world are very much in line with my wishes!" If Goguryeo still exists, Yang Wanchun's procrastination plan may really work; But now Goguryeo is gone? What does he spend with us in a lonely city?
I conclude that he will definitely come to take the risk and take the city, and today we are tired from afar, and it is a good time for him to sneak attack. Let's take strict precautions and teach them a good lesson when the enemy comes to steal the camp! ā
Han Shige and Dongfang Yumei obeyed the order, turned around and went out to prepare.
At this time, it was the end of May, and on this night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and a team of black-clothed men quietly opened the city gate, slipped out of the city and went straight to the camp of the Liangshan army.
The soldiers of the Liangshan battalion were all huddled at the door of the camp and dozed off, not noticing the arrival of the enemy. The enemy general held a spear in his hand and saw that the Liangshan soldiers were not prepared, and snorted coldly: "Kill!" ā
His soldiers quickly removed the barrier at the camp gate, and then rushed in with a shout.
They rushed to the camp and did not find any changes in the Liangshan army, Yang Wanchun was shocked in his heart, and felt that something was not good.
"General! The tent was empty, and there was no one in it! ā
"General, these guards are straw men! We've been tricked! ā
As soon as he exited the exit, he saw a fire all around, and the military camp was illuminated as if it were day; Then the shouts of killing rang out, and the Liangshan soldiers killed from all directions under the leadership of Cheng Yanjin, Han Shige, and Dongfang Yumei.
"Retreat!" Yang Wanchun is also single, and when he saw that he had hit the plan, he ran back without turning his head back to lead people. Yang Wanchun ordered the rear team to break off, and he led people to rush up to the city tower and forced the Liangshan people to retreat with a rain of arrows, and then collected the troops back to the city.
After returning to the city, Yang Wanchun checked the manpower, and brought 3,000 people when he went out, but when he came back, he broke more than half; It really made him regret it.
The next day, Cheng Biting Jin led people to the city to beg for the enemy and scold, but Yang Wanchun learned to be obedient this time and refused to fight in the city. Cheng Yanjin ordered a strong attack, and both catapults and crashes were thrown onto the battlefield, and then smashed into the enemy's walls.
Although the city of An'an is not too tall, the city walls are very thick and strong; Catapults and crashes are hard to do for a while; Even if there were occasional breaks, the enemy was well prepared, and they were quickly repaired with wooden fences and sand.
Cheng Biting Jin led people and ants to attack the city, but they were also forced back by the enemy's bows and arrows, rolling wood and stones, as well as fire oil. On this day, you attacked and defended seven or eight rounds, and the Liangshan army did not make any progress at all.
Seeing that it was getting late, Cheng Biting Jin urged the horse to the city and said to Yang Wanchun: "General Yang, a certain is Cheng Biting Jin, the general manager of Shandong." This time he came to Goguryeo to reclaim his homeland; Our two countries are handed over to their masters, life and death are fateful, and no one can blame anyone; But I don't recognize that the remains of soldiers are scattered, and their souls cannot return to their homeland.
I intend to make an agreement with the general that from this moment on, we will strike the army for an hour and clean up the bodies of the martyrs. ā
Yang Wanchun held the buttress and looked at him for a long time and said, "Mr. Cheng is benevolent and righteous, and I can't refuse." I hope that Governor Cheng will return the remains of the fallen soldiers we robbed the camp yesterday, and we will also return the bodies of the soldiers who besieged the city for a few days, what do you think? ā
"Good! General Yang is quick to talk! Let's make a decision! On the battlefield, you can rely on your ability, only about victory or defeat; When the truce comes, we won't let go of being a gentleman and leave a good story! I'll arrange for someone to send the bones back when I go back, and we'll have a date later! ā
Yang Wanchun leaned on the head of the city and looked at him for a long time and said: "He is worthy of being a big country in the Central Plains, and he is really different from us; How not to make people yearn for it! But he is indeed an enemy, but he! How! ā
Arrange someone to clean up the bones of the martyrs, Cheng Biting Jin returned to the military tent and looked at the sand table in Anshi City and gritted his teeth, Dongfang Yumei opened her mouth a few times, but she wanted to speak and stopped. Cheng Yanjin looked at it and asked strangely, "Yumei, do you have anything to say?" If you have something to say, just a quote! ā
Dongfang Yumei got up and said: "Brother Cheng, I don't think this Anshi City is tall, just like you said in the Battle of Guandu in the Three Kingdoms, Yuan Shao piled up soil as a mountain and condescendingly shot Cao Jun; Why don't we also pile up a few earthen platforms and shoot at Anshi City from a high position. ā
Cheng Yanjin and Han Shige glanced at each other, their faces were slightly red, such a simple thing made the little girl think of it first. Especially Cheng Biting Jin, that's a shame! The Three Kingdoms, but he told others to listen to it, why didn't he think of it?
"Yumei, this plan is wonderful! Shika, tomorrow I will lead the men and horses of the Liangshan headquarters to continue the siege of the city, and put pressure on the enemy, and you will take the elite of Dengzhou to build the earth mountain. ā
Han Shige gave up his hand and said, "Yes!" Please rest assured, I will build the earth mountain to the edge of the enemy's city! ā
The next day, Yang Wanchun found that the enemy had fewer people attacking the city, and the remaining thousands of people began to shovel the earth and build a mountain of earth. Yang Wanchun immediately understood the enemy's intentions, but what could he do, first, he didn't have the enemy's trebuchet, and second, he didn't have the ability to kill; The archers can only be arranged to slow down the enemy's pile of dirt as much as possible.
For a time, arrows rained down on the city, and although there were huge shields blocking it, there were still some unlucky fellows who were injured by the loss; Han Shige is one of them. Han Shige thought that the armor was heavy and cumbersome, so he took off the armor, and one person was responsible for carrying several dirt bags to carry the sand, and the clinker was shot in the ankle by the loss that flew from nowhere.
Han Shige didn't say a word, pulled out the arrow, strangled the wound with a strip of cloth, and continued to carry the sand; It wasn't until it was nearly dark that he returned exhausted to find that the blood had dried up, soaking the boot.
Cheng Yanjin found that Han Shige was walking a little strangely, and when he looked down, he found that he had been injured, and cursed, and asked someone to bring boiling water to take off his boots for him personally, clean the wound, and then apply medicine and bandage.
"Han Shimo, what are you playing on me and not getting out of the line of fire! What a half of garlic to fill! What happens if the wound becomes infected? The light one clicked and chopped your leg, and the heavy one went to see Hades with a whimper, you kid really don't want to live? ā
Han Shige hurriedly put down his trouser legs, put on his shoes and said, "Don't worry, the boss, I am a person who has already died once; If Lord Yama doesn't wait to see me, he won't die! Do you want to resist the dirt bag tomorrow? I'll go first, we'll see you tomorrow! He limped away.
Cheng Biting Jin scolded twice with a smile, Dongfang Yumei came over and said, "Is it anyone who is injured, you can clean up the wound for him!" Is this the so-called imperial mind? Did you think so about me at the time? ā
Cheng Biting Jin laughed and rubbed her head and said, "What are you thinking?" Can you be like them? Dongfang Yumei frowned and said, "Take your hand away, I just touched that guy's feet for a long time, and then touched my head." It's dirty! ā
Cheng Yanjin sniffed his hands, there was a strange smell, he shivered and said, "This guy won't never wash his feet!" I've got to wash up. With that, he turned around and ran out.
The next day, the Liangshan army continued to build a mountain while attacking the city, and after more than ten days, a huge earthen platform with a radius of dozens of zhang and two zhang higher than the city wall stood in the southeast of Anshi City.
Cheng Yanjin saw that the earthen platform was built, and he was a little complacent. He asked Fu Fuai, the elite Guoyi lieutenant of Dengzhou, to lead a team of archers to Tutai Julin to suppress the Goguryeo soldiers in Anshi City, and he led people to directly attack Anshi.
Fu Fuai led a team of 100 people to stand on the earthen platform, first destroying the enemy's fire oil and other defensive materials with rockets, and then using the archers who began to suppress the enemy.
Cheng Yanjin and the others saw that Fu Fuai was commanding, and nodded secretly: "It seems that these generals of the Sui Dynasty, although they are a little lacking in desperate aspects, their military literacy is still very high. ā
"Kill!" Han Shige took advantage of the fact that the enemy was suppressed and rushed to the castle tower. Yang Wanchun's eyes cracked, and he rushed up with a pair of death squads and started a melee with Han Shige and others.
When Fu Fuai saw it, he hurriedly commanded the soldiers to extend the shooting to support Han Shige; Cheng Biting Jin also killed the people afterwards.
At this moment, the accident happened suddenly, after all, this earthen platform was a crop built by death, because the foundation was unstable, and it fell obliquely to Anshi City with a "boom", and even collapsed a corner of the city tower of Anshi City.
Tutai and Anshi City are connected as one, if Fu Fuai takes advantage of the situation to capture the city, he can break through the enemy's guards, and it is really possible to take Anshi City in one fell swoop. Who knows that although this Captain Fu Fuai commands the army very well, his courage is really a little small. When the earth mountain collapsed, his first thought was not to attack, but to run from the earthen platform to the flat ground with a shout.
Cheng Biting Jin almost vomited blood out of anger, and he couldn't wait to chop this guy with an axe! "Take the dirt mountain back for me!" Cheng Yanjin roared and took the lead in rushing towards the collapsed earthen platform; Dongfang Yumei then rushed up after him.
Yang Wanchun, who was on the tower of the city, was overjoyed when he saw it, and shouted: "Immortal bless!" Rush me to the dirt platform! The Goguryeo soldiers of Anshi City were in great spirits, and Hula rushed to Tushan at once, and then forced Cheng Yanjin back with bows and arrows.
