Chapter 205: Attacking Zhang Chun Together
"General Zhang! For the king's sake, pull us along! ”
The messenger burst into tears, pleading, and blocked Zhang Chun's surprise and grumbling in his stomach. Zhang Chun looked at the letterhead, full of sincerity and good words, saying that Zhang Chun is a famous general in the world, loyal and warm-hearted, and will never see death and not save Yunyun, it is indeed Xinxing County Ling Wan Hong's handwritten tone, and it is also covered with a bright red official seal, and there is no trace of forgery.
Zhang Chun was very comfortable being flattered, and he thought about weighing it repeatedly, and was persuaded by Yang Ci that Xinxing is an important rear at the moment, and in case it falls, he is afraid that even the back road will be cut off, so although Zhang Chun was unwilling, he still sent 2,000 people to Xinxing.
Reinforcements were continuously sent, and the Jin army surrounded under Xiangwu City had less than 15,000 people left. Under such circumstances, Zhang Chun's determination to stay here in vain was strengthened. At present, the killer candidate for the assassination of Chen An has not yet been finalized, because this matter is important, it is necessary to find someone who is both skilled and reliable, and the most important thing is that killing him after the matter is completed will not attract too much attention. It is not easy to find such an ordinary soldier who meets the above conditions, and it is not easy to find such an ordinary soldier who meets the above conditions, and it is also a pity that Yang Ci has already screened three or five people and is doing the final screening, but Zhang Chun has the intention to go, so he is afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, and he can't wait for this, and he has urged it several times.
But most of the things in the world are unsatisfactory. Whatever you are afraid of, you will come. In less than two or three days, when breakfast had just been eaten, Zhang Chun suddenly heard bursts of shouting and cheering from the south, and many soldiers were shouting something, but they couldn't hear it very clearly. Zhang Chun raised his head in confusion, and after a while, even the rumbling sound of rapid running quickly reached his ears from far and near.
Zhang Chun's face changed immediately, and he stood up suddenly, half angry and half frightened, and looked into the distance, and in an instant, the banner that covered the sky and the sun and countless blades that flashed with cold light all came into his eyes, and on one of the largest flags, the word "high" could be seen from a distance.
Yang Ci was shocked, opened his eyes and said, "Gao Yue's Longxi army has really come back from Yinping. This, how can this be good? ”
The main general was distraught, but fortunately, the grassroots soldiers, because they had been prepared for a long time, had begun to react at this time. The archers were firing in turn, and the spearmen were running forward and waiting in formation, while the cavalry was rapidly gathering and preparing to rush out to outflank the enemy. In a short time, the incoming army had quickly broken through to the edge of the Jin army's camp, so it was like two torrents colliding together, and the tragic hand-to-hand combat began.
The shouting and killing sound under the city shook the heavens and the earth, and Wu Xia, the defender of the city, did not need soldiers to report, it was already clear at a glance. With his lonely city and few soldiers, under the siege of nearly 30,000 people in Zhang Chun, he supported it for more than 100 days, so that Xiangwu City always stood tall. The enemy has always been helpless against him, from the initial contemptuously calling him 'just a stone ear', to later calling him 'iron stone' with jealousy and awe, an iron word, reflecting that Wu Xia is like an iron wall, so that the enemy army can not surpass.
In the past 100 days, Wu Xia has eaten and lived in the city, and he is really unclothed. Now he is like Xiangwu City, scarred. Not to mention the flesh wounds all over the body, like nicks. Only the left side of his face, from the temple to the jaw, a cross-shaped wound, has not yet completely scabbed, turning over the bloody flesh and slanting hideously on the face, it will be fine, and it will leave a permanent scar.
In the fierce battle, several more teeth were knocked out intermittently, and his purple puffy lips were also opened, which made it difficult for him to speak. The cloth wrapped around his body was covered with blood spots, which were arrow wounds that had not yet healed. The ring finger and little finger of the right hand were lost forever in hand-to-hand combat, so now they have to use their left hand to hold the knife. His leg was also injured in several places, making it difficult for him to move, so he simply stayed behind the battlements and stopped moving.
Under the inspiration and encouragement of Wu Xia's fearless blood and loyalty, Xiangwu is now a city full of soldiers, regardless of men, women and children, but with a little strength, they are all in the city to help defend, although the casualties are heavy, it can be regarded as a great sacrifice and help.
Xiangwu City was originally a very rich granary, but it was besieged for three months, and there was no relief and assistance from the outside. A few days before they had been cut out of food, and the old and weak died of hunger. But in the city, they caught rats and snakes, fished and fished shrimp, peeled the bark of trees and dug up grass roots, and tried every means to raise food, and the people understood the righteousness and gave priority to the food provided to the guards and young men at the head of the city.
Although he stubbornly repelled the enemy's offensive again and again, and resolved the big and small crises one by one, seeing that the enemy army simply trapped Xiangwu and did not fight, it made Tou Wu Xia anxious. There was no news from the outside world, and I didn't know what was going on with Gao Yue and other colleagues in Longxi, and sometimes the enemy army engaged in psychological warfare and shouted loudly, saying that Longxi had been completely annihilated, and Gao Yue had already been taken to Shangtai to be beheaded, and when he was asked to surrender, although Wu Xia immediately retorted and refuted it, in fact, he had no psychological bottom. He thought more than once that even if what the enemy said was true, then he would just be martyred, and he would live up to the morality in his heart.
Fortunately, ten days ago, somehow, a small tunnel was dug up in the city. This frightened the people in the city, and when they were about to beat the man who came out to death, it was thanks to the man's quick speech, some explanation, and the token that he was believed to be his own. When he was escorted to Wu Xia, the man said that he was a scout of the internal government, and that he was ordered by the internal government Feng Dushuai to ventilate with the city and briefly report the various current situations one by one.
When I heard that Gao Yue had been faked by the emperor, saying that Qinzhou had assassinated the history and had led the army to counterattack, the whole city was cheering. The hysteria of the crowd and the beating of their chests and feet were the catharsis of life after being suppressed for a long time and experiencing death. No matter how sad and desolate it was, in despair, people finally knew that their lord was thinking about them all the time and never intended to give up.
When he heard that Gao Yue praised him and said that he would not lose him Wu Xia no matter what the price, Wu Xia, who was scarred, shed tears in front of him in public, and cried so much that he couldn't cry.
Wu Xia asked the scout to report the unpromising situation in Xiangwu City, but immediately rejected the scout's suggestion to flee from the tunnel. Wu Xia patted his chest hard, and said that life and death were in Xiangwu. The scout was also a little moved, and when he left, he bowed and said, respecting Captain Wu is really a true man cast with iron and blood.
At present, the sound of killing in the city is shaking the sky, and Wu Xia still doesn't know that this is the reinforcement coming. He shouted loudly with the crowd, and his eyes followed the banner of the lord, but there was really no strength left in the city to go down to the city to kill the enemy.
"Drum it!"
In the long offensive and defensive battles, under the condition of getting along day and night, Wu Xia is already the well-deserved backbone of Xiangwu City. What can make him lead the people is not his rank of captain, but his outstanding ability and righteous awe-inspiring momentum. At that moment, as Wu Xia suddenly shouted, the soldiers and civilians next to him did not hesitate, and immediately there were more than a dozen people, bringing a big drum and a wooden frame to Wu Xia's body.
"Boom! ……”
"Knock...... Boom! ”
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
Wu Xia exerted all his strength and beat the drum himself. The powerful drum beat, from slow to fast, bursts of frequent urging, infected everyone's heart. The crowd shouted in unison, and the drums beat loudly, which was deafening. The Longxi army under the city, knowing that the city had responded, was inspired by the majestic war drums, and fought more and more bloodily.
Under the banner of the main general, Han Yong sat on a high-headed horse, his eyes were like a cone, and he was keeping an eye on the battle situation. Not long after, with the change of the banner of the Chinese army, the Longxi army began to change formations. From the initial sharp front and back tension, the goose-shaped formation dominated by Peng Jun's crossbowmen began to change into a large fish-scale formation with echelon configuration - the forward continued to rush forward, the advance guard immediately launched a follow-up attack, then the left and right flanks of the second echelon entered the battle, and finally the main force of the third echelon launched a fierce attack on the enemy. Enemy formations are usually broken through under such a storm, then torn apart and finally collapsed.
This batch of Jin troops was really a pawn of a hundred battles, and they had experienced all kinds of battles and had rich experience in the world. Once in battle, reflexively just swing the knife forward and dare to fight. However, the Longxi army led 2,000 soldiers with Gu Siduo as the vanguard, and opened the way with bravery, and He Cheng personally supervised 4,000 pikemen to follow the breakthrough. The cavalry under Lei Qizhi had already been divided into two wings, blocking the cavalry on both sides of the Jin army, and also looking for opportunities to harass and guerrilla the flanks and rear of the Jin army.
It is worth mentioning that the two thousand Xiongnu Han soldiers brought back by Gao Yue personally were originally excellent soldiers who had experienced countless battle formations, and at this time they were particularly crazy and hysterical like mad dogs. They killed Sima Bao's Shangqi Jin army, so they didn't have the slightest psychological baggage. And with such hard work, not only is the confrontation between the two armies a matter of their own lives, but they can't help but fight for their lives; In addition, I also want to be in the first battle under Gao Yue, we must play with momentum and blood, so that in the future, the Longxi army will look at each other differently, and it will not be sarcastic and bullying.
Under the repeated impact of the Longxi army again and again, the Jin army was already panicked, but they were still desperately resisting and fighting to the death. But waves of war drums and shouts, really stirring people's minds, for Xiangwu City is still hiding the last blow, the Jin army is worried, become bottomless, and can not wait for the Chinese army commander to timely and effective dispatch and command, can only rely on the most basic soldiers, relying on the most primitive brute force brave force in the struggle.
When he was scorching, from behind the Jin army, from far and near, a cavalry army was killed from the charge. The rumbling sound of horses' hooves seemed to trample on the hearts of the soldiers of the Jin army. Many people looked back in amazement, but saw that those cavalrymen were all holding torches, and they rushed to their eyes in a moment, and threw the torches one after another, which immediately ignited the rear of the Jin army. Many of the soldiers were on fire, rolling and howling, and rushing in all directions, setting fire to more things. The cavalry, however, turned their horses around the fire, and began to ram in from the other side, drawing their blades and slashing wildly.
