Chapter 5: The Big Victory
As soon as the Zhou army camp was set up in camp, Hu Li received the news that the rear was attacked, the grain and grass were seized, and Huxian was broken. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"General, retreat, now the grain and grass in the army are only enough for two days, if you don't push, Meng Chang will pour out of the city, and our army will be difficult to resist." A member of the Zhou army said.
Hu Li closed his eyes and didn't say a word, and after a while, his eyes opened, "This matter cannot be publicized, those who violate the order will be beheaded, the army will slowly retreat, beware of the sneak attack of the Shu army, General Wang, you lead the army to open the way for the army, and you must conquer Hu County within one day." ”
"Yes."
。。。。。。。。。。。
A day later, outside Huxian County, in the camp of Wang Hu, the captains and captains gathered here. Wang Hu's soldiers are more than 5,000 people, and this time they were ordered to open the way for the army, which is a matter of life and death for tens of thousands of Zhou troops, and they must capture Hu County as quickly as possible.
"I'm going to take Tiger County today." Wang Hu's eyes widened, a trace of murderous aura came out, and he snorted coldly.
"Yes, at the end of today, I will let those defeated soldiers see the strength of my Great Zhou army." A lieutenant said with a smile that for them, this small town is ready to go.
Soon, I heard a terrible cry from the city of Huxian, and from a distance, there were troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty all over the field, and they attacked together with bows and arrows, and they were going to take Huxian today.
"The Zhou army has begun to attack." Meng Yu stood on top of the city, his face showed a hint of solemnity, although it had been attacked here for a few days of repair, it was far from being strong.
"Here, shield raised." At this time, a whistling sound was heard, and a rain of arrows broke through the air, and flew down towards the city wall, Meng Yu couldn't care about talking anymore, and hurriedly commanded the soldiers to raise their shields to block the arrows in the air.
But these shields are called shields, but they are actually the door panels of the houses. All I heard was a thudding sound, many of the door panels were shot through, and then screams were heard.
"Attack." The roar of the Zhou military captain came from under the city, and those soldiers also carried simple siege ladders and began to attack the city, while Meng Yu and others on the city wall also resisted desperately. The two sides began to fight at the top of the city, and the battle was extremely fierce.
Thirty miles outside Qingni City, it is already very close to Tiger County.
"Your Majesty, the forward of the Zhou army is storming Tiger County, and Tiger County is in danger."
"Your Majesty, the Zhou army sent another 2,000 people to attack Tiger County from the side gate."
One by one, urgent reports were sent to Meng Chang's Chinese army tent. In the big tent, all the generals gathered, and they were all worried about the situation in Tiger County.
"Your Majesty, send troops quickly, King Bao only has 2,000 troops, how to resist." Seeing that the generals didn't speak, Gonggong Lu on the side was in a hurry, he had grown up watching Meng Xuanjue since he was a child, and he cared no less about him than Meng Chang.
"Your Majesty, Hu Li didn't use all the men, he was just guarding against our sneak attack, if we send troops at this moment, it will be exactly in line with his intention to fight with us." Gao Yanshou stepped forward and said.
"Presumptuous, Gao Yanshou, the general of the defeated army is still speaking wildly here, do you know that His Royal Highness King Bao is still in Tiger County, if His Royal Highness King Bao has a mistake, can you afford it?" When He Jian heard this, he said.
"The last general believes in His Royal Highness King Bao, His Royal Highness said that if he can hold out for two days, then he can hold out for two days, and please see it for Your Majesty." Gao Yanshou knelt down and said in a sobbing voice.
"Wait, then the warfighter will be killed."
。。。。。。
The battle in front of Huxian has entered the white heat, the arrows above and below the city are in the dense rain, people continue to fall down with arrows, one after another siege ladders have set up the city wall, and the soldiers of the Great Zhou have climbed up like crazy.
The spear sprinted, the long knife slashed, the fight was bloody, one Shu soldier fell, the blood gushed out, and another Shu soldier swung his spear and scattered, piercing the enemy's chest.
After a day of scuffle, the city was full of corpses, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, although the Zhou army had an absolute advantage and had the upper hand, but this stormy small city has always stood tall.
Hu Li can't sit still, the army has been out of food for a day, if it can't capture Huxian again, it will inevitably cause a camp change, "Order, the whole army presses up, and it is incomparable to capture Huxian." ”
The 40,000-strong army rose up and rushed towards Huxian, Hu Li had to fight to the death, as long as Meng Chang did not react to capture Huxian, his army could go away.
。。。。。。。。。。
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Hu Li's whole army is pressing." Gao Yanshou has been paying close attention to the movements on the battlefield, for him, if Meng Xuanjue has any accidents, then he will not be able to escape the blame, so he does not dare to have a trace of slackness, as soon as he finds out that Zhou Jun is moving, he will immediately come to report.
"Okay, order Gao Yanshou to be the vanguard, open the way for the army, all the way to the north, everything along the way, without surrendering, there is no mercy." Meng Chang's face was cold, and he snorted coldly.
"The rest of the generals, follow me, and as soon as the advance meets the enemy, immediately launch a charge and destroy all the enemies who stand in front of our army." Meng Chang said viciously again.
"The last general will be ordered."
Just when Hu Li's army was attacking, the Shu army camp heard the sound of earth-shaking drums, the weapons in their hands flashed with cold light, the infantry phalanx emitted the sound of Jin Ge iron horses, and tens of thousands of troops slowly advanced at a neat pace, pressing down towards the Great Zhou military camp.
Hu Li listened to all this, his face turned pale, and the horsewhip in his hand was unstable, and he said to himself: "Defeated, defeated." ”
Meng Yu at the head of the city also heard the sound of the drums in unison, and immediately shouted: "The reinforcements are coming, the reinforcements are coming, kill with me." ”
。。。。。。。。。。
After an hour of fierce fighting, the Zhou army was defeated, and the Zhou army lost more than 10,000 people, including the general Hu Li, and captured more than 20,000 people. The Shu army suffered thousands of casualties, of which less than 800 remained in the city of Huxian.
"Gao Yanshou, lead 10,000 troops, go out of Hu County, and recover Qinzhou." Meng Chang turned to Gao Yanshou and shouted.
"The last general commands." Gao Yanshou's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly led more than 10,000 elite soldiers towards Qinzhou.
。。。。。。。。
Meng Yu was also a little injured, and bandaged himself quietly, and there was no big problem in moving, and at this moment, a personal soldier came to him.
"Report" The soldiers shouted, knelt down, and said, "Your Highness, someone from outside has come and said that it is a messenger sent by His Majesty." ”
Meng Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll come." Meng Yu was afraid that someone would recognize him as a fake, but he always had to face it, so he wore a bloody suit and walked outside.
When they reached the gate of the city, they saw several men in black armor waiting at the gate.
The Guards?
They were all very strong, indifferent, exuding a resolute banner, behind them, there was a bearded man standing, seeing Meng Yu coming over, so he stepped forward to his side: "Your Highness, my Highness, God is pitiful, I can see Your Highness, the old slave thanks to God." The person who spoke was none other than Meng Chang's attendant eunuch chief Lu Dacheng.
"Uh, who are you?" Meng Yu really didn't know him, and hurriedly asked.
