Chapter 105: Lu Bu among the people
Things are like this sometimes, the more you don't want to make a decision, the more you escape, and things will force you to make a decision instead, Zhang Xiang is facing such a thing now, his self-deception is still broken by the Huns.
The Huns are not stupid, they have learned to be smart after suffering a little loss, the Huns continue to beat and scold the Han people under the city, so that they stand up, Zhang Xiang knows that there are more Huns among the Han people in the city now.
But his self-deception strategy no longer has any effect, what should come will always come, and the ruthlessness that should be made must be lowered, at least Zhang Xiang's self-deception is still somewhat effective.
At least there are more Huns under the city, and the number of Huns killed and wounded will increase as long as he gives an order, although Zhang Xiang's decision will make the Han people under the city dead and wounded, but it will protect the soldiers in the army and the people in the county.
In a sense, Zhang Xiang still earns, but unfortunately human life is not a commodity, it cannot be compared with earning or not earning, Zhang Xiang fell into a dilemma and did not know how to decide, but at this time someone made a choice for Zhang Xiang.
This person is the military advisor Yang Xu, Zhang Xiang's performance has always made Yang Xu very satisfied, Yang Xu also knows that Zhang Xiang is a very domineering person at heart, so he doesn't like to be criticized by others.
Yang Xu saw the domineering in Zhang Xiang's bones, since Yang Xu joined the Xiangfei Army, he chose to hide his clumsiness and not deliberately express himself, and only when Zhang Xiang found himself Yang Xu would show his grandeur.
Yang Xu didn't think there was anything wrong with him doing this, Zhang Xiang's domineering bones were also what Yang Xu fancied, and he was willing to hide himself and do things for Zhang Xiang silently, even if it was to be a villain.
Yang Xu has never valued such a thing as reputation, so he gave Zhang Xiang an order to release arrows, and the soldiers at the bottom all know that Yang Xu is Zhang Xiang's military advisor, so it can be said that under one person in the army, no one will question Yang Xu's order.
So Zhang Xiang saw that the archers on the left side of the city began to release arrows, and the archers on the right side did not know so they also released arrows, only the archers around Zhang Xiang did not release arrows, and they all knew that Zhang Xiang did not give this order.
Zhang Xiang watched the Han people under the city fall one after another, their eyes seemed to be looking at Zhang Xiang, asking him why he wanted to release the arrows, Zhang Xiang also knew who the person who gave this order was?
No one dared to do this except Yang Xu, and no one would have such ruthlessness except Yang Xu, Zhang Xiang suddenly thanked Yang Xu at this time for helping Zhang Xiang make the most correct decision at the most critical moment.
This decision is what Zhang Xiang intellectually wants to do but does not dare to do, since the matter is irreparable, and the Han people below will not survive, then Zhang Xiang also figured out and ordered the soldiers to release arrows.
One thing is often the most difficult one, as long as the first step is taken, the rest of the things are easy to solve, Yang Xu also heard Zhang Xiang's order, he was very happy that he was not afraid that Zhang Xiang would not understand anything, what he was afraid of was that he did not become famous and took the responsibility of a hegemon.
A hegemon can not understand literature or martial arts, these things can be made up from other places, but what he can't do is to take responsibility, when he is decided, Yang Xu believes that after this matter, Zhang Xiang will not hesitate in the future.
The Huns' plan failed, and Zhang Xiang's cold-bloodedness made the Han people under the city useless, but these Han people would become a burden to the Huns attacking the city, and finally these Han people died under the sword of the Huns.
And died in front of the Xiangfei army, the Huns did not frighten the soldiers defending the city, but inspired the fighting spirit of the Xiangfei army, and the siege battle continued, and people died every day.
Zhang Xiang didn't know that this war would end on that day, at least now it was far away, Zhang Xiang knew that if he wanted to defeat these Huns, the most effective way was to beat the Huns at once.
As long as the Huns were jealous, they could retreat, after all, Zayag had his own pasture as the head of the wolf, and it was impossible for the army to stay outside for a long time, and the army could not be killed or wounded too much.
Otherwise, his pasture would be robbed by other tribes, Zhang Xiang thought of a feasible plan, although it was a bit risky, but now it seems that he has to take risks, Zayag can't afford it.
Zhang Xiang also can't afford to consume, Xiang Feijun first entered Yanmen, Zhang Xiang didn't even close his own territory, and things will only become very complicated if he drags on, Zhang Xiang ordered the soldiers to be not far behind the city wall, relying on houses to build interior walls.
Zhang Xiang didn't need this inner wall to be high, as long as the cavalry couldn't cross over it, and now there were a lot of stones and sand for building houses in the county, which happened to come in handy.
The inner wall was quickly built, not so much an inner wall as a mound of earth more than two meters high, which was as smooth as possible on this side of the wall, and there were many swords, guns and spears.
These weapons are very sharp, reflecting the cold light in the sun, and the matter is ready under the city is to open the city gate and let the Huns in, but how to put it is particular.
Put too little, Zhang Xiang spent so much effort in vain, put too much Zhang Xiang is also afraid that it will not end well in the end, and he will suffer the consequences, it is best to beat the Huns at one time and not hurt himself, and now the most important thing is that this kind of thing can not be chosen at night.
The Huns did not choose to fight at night these days, and most of the Huns had varying degrees of night blindness after eating cattle and sheep for a long time, so night fighting was not their forte, and the Huns would not take risks even if they had a great chance at night.
But once the war broke out during the day, what reason would Zhang Xiang have to find to let the Huns enter? Zhang Xiang was afraid that Zayag would be clever when he opened the city gate, so that Zhang Xiang's plan became an empty city plan.
Zhang Xiang couldn't cry or laugh like this, so Zhang Xiang had to spend a lot of effort to get the best carpenter in the army to start sawing the city gate from the inside, and he couldn't destroy the appearance of the city gate outside the city.
The next day the Huns continued to attack the city, but Zhang Xiang was absent-minded, Zhang Xiang felt for the first time that the city gate would be so strong.
Why don't you fall yet! Just when Zhang Xiang was thinking so, the city gate finally collapsed, and the Huns swarmed in, but Zhang Xiang's worry was a little redundant, the distance between the cavalry was already far away, and naturally the number of people who entered the city gate at one time was not much.
The speed of the cavalry was fast, the Hun cavalry saw the inner wall, the Huns had a bone whistle used to transmit news, and when they saw this situation, they blew the bone whistle, and Zhang Xiang knew that it was broken when he heard the first bone whistle.
The cavalry that entered the city was retreating, and there was confusion among the Huns, and the Huns were using bone whistles to deliver news, and Zhang Xiang couldn't let them blow it, otherwise it would be bad.
Zhang Xiang ordered the drums to be beaten, and the sound of the war drums continued to sound on the wall, immediately blocking the sound transmitted by the bone whistle, and the Huns who became did not know so they continued to pour into the county town, and Zhang Xiang saw that the people who came in were almost time to finish.
Because the fire oil in the army was almost used, Zhang Xiang could only use wine instead, and the fire oil burned at the city gate, and then the wine also burned, and the smell of wine masked the smell of burnt corpses.
Zhang Xiang smelled the smell of barbecue on the corpse for the first time, and Zhang Fei also smelled the wine on the side, as if he was sighing at the violent destruction of the heavens, and the war horses were the most afraid of fire, so the Huns immediately retreated and did not dare to pour into the city gate.
You have Zhang Liang's plan, I have a wall ladder, the Huns are not helpless, Zhang Xiang forgot one thing in the whole strategy is that there is a shortage of water in the state, so the Huns not only have grain carts but also water wheels in the army.
The Huns set up a waterwheel to extinguish the fire at the city gate, if it was fire oil, the Huns would not be able to extinguish it for a while, but unfortunately most of the city was full of alcohol, so it was quickly extinguished.
Because of the continuous influx of the Huns, Zayag finally knew the situation in the city at this time, and the stones and logs kept falling on the city, but the Huns did not retreat.
Throw him wherever you want, Zayag doesn't care if his people live or die, he knows what he can get in return once he breaks through the city gates, and now there is a fight in the city.
Because the Hun cavalry is too numerous, there is not much room for movement, in the eyes of the Xiangfei sergeant is a live target, and he can shoot with his eyes closed, of course, the Huns' archery skills are also a bit threatening.
But in general, the Xiangfei army in the city temporarily has the advantage, there are many Xiangfei troops in the city, and there are many people who spontaneously assist, and those who do not have bows and arrows throw stones into it.
The dog can jump over the wall in a hurry, and the rabbit can bite in a hurry, not to mention the brutal Huns, who actually stepped on the corpses of their companions and stepped on the inner city, the mound of the inner city was not very high, and it was easy for the Huns to climb.
What Zhang Xiang was afraid of really happened, with the increase of the Huns in the city, the advantages between the two sides were constantly weakening, the city was not conducive to cavalry combat, and Zhang Xiang's army was not conducive to development.
Zhang Xiang's strategy failed, and the two sides turned into a frontal white-knuckle battle, and now the competition is who can hold on in the end! However, Zhang Xiang is still very confident, in addition to the Xiangfei Army, he also has countless people in the county.
However, Zhang Xiang also knew that even if he won the battle, it would be a crushing victory, and when Zhang Xiang was thinking about how to recover his losses, a cavalry attacked the Hun army outside the city.
Zhang Xiang saw very clearly, this Han army was playing the Lu Ziqi, could it be that Lu Bu was coming, Zhang Xiang looked at the Han army from a distance, and a general broke away from the Han army and entered the team of the Huns alone.
I saw that this person was wearing a golden crown, wearing a hundred flowers robe, holding Tang Yi armor, wearing a lion treasure belt, and carrying a Fang Tian painting halberd, needless to say that it must be Lu Bu, Zhang Xiang has always felt that he is quite handsome, but compared to Lu Bu, he is nothing, and he is worthy of being Lu Bu among people.
At this time, the situation of the Huns has changed greatly, and it is a taboo for soldiers to not be able to take care of each other, Zhang Xiang also saw Lu Bu's martial arts for the first time in the Hun army like no one, and couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, he is the first fierce general in the world." ”
