Chapter 82 Filling the River

Thousands of troops were dispatched, and the smoke and dust raised could be clearly seen from a distance, how could Feng Wuxuan not see such a movement. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He was already sitting at the east gate, waiting for Wei Wuji.

At the east gate, news flowed like a stream.

"Report, the southern camp of the Wei Army is dispatched, there are thousands of people, and they are playing the banner of Gongsun."

"Report, the northern battalion of the Wei army was dispatched, and there were thousands of people, waving the banner of the word Wei."

"The main forces of the north and south battalions of the newspaper guard army have gone east and want to converge with the Wei monarch's forces."

"The main force of the guard army converged, and there were about 20,000."

"The Guards have come to the east gate."

Feng Wuxue said: "No need to report, I already know, pass the order." And he brought the morning food, and gave it to the soldiers, and gave them more to all the soldiers. ”

"Yes."

Feng Wuxue pressed one hand on the head of the city and looked at the guards outside.

The Guard was clearly divided into two parts. Part of it is Wei Jun's Chinese army, and the neat and tidy phalanx is spread out, and the halberds are facing the sky, which reminds people of Xu Rulin's military words.

The other part is the north and south battalions of the guards, and the north and south battalions are newly attached to the army, although there is no lack of bravery, but the army is too much lacking in organization.

The chaotic appearance is in stark contrast to the Chinese army of the Guard.

Fortunately, the legacy of the Warring States period is still in fashion, and these young men all have a foundation. , although a little flustered, but it didn't take long for the array to be arranged.

Wei Wuji will immediately begin to arrange his troops.

Wei Wuji's east gate is the middle line, dividing the east gate city wall into two parts, the south of the east gate is divided into the south camp, and the north of the east gate is divided into the north camp. Then the army of the north and south battalions was carefully divided, down to each song. And make a mark. The herald ordered the left and right battalions to fill the moat. and sent two captains to line up on both sides of the camp to protect the two wings. He also sent a lieutenant out to the west to cut off the connection between Shaoshui and the moat.

Wei Wuji ordered the two captains to supervise the formation, line up behind the north and south battalions, and kill those who dare to review. and pressed for two battalions.

Wei Wuji ordered his soldiers to sit down and rest. Just in case.

After Wei Wuji's order was passed down, he ordered the officers at all levels to go down and arrange, and there was not much time, and the drum sounded again, this time not the drum of gathering troops, but the drum of marching.

After the three-way drum, more than 10,000 soldiers shouted and rushed towards Huaixian County.

Wei Wuji had already prepared a nest car and climbed high to look at it. Take in the battle as you can see.

Due to the meticulous division of the entire task, each officer knew what he was going to dare to. However, the methods of doing it were different, and some of them didn't care about anything, and two hundred and fifty people ran up with dirt on their backs to fill the moat.

Some of the Qu Chang obviously had experience in battle formations, and they didn't know where to find some big logs, made them into heavy wooden shields, and let people hold them separately, and from a distance, everyone was protected in the turtle shell, and a song of men and horses slowly moved to the side of the moat, while letting the arrows on the city wall rain down, digging and filling the river by the moat.

As mentioned above, the moat is two or three zhang wide and goes around Huai County. Water is living water that is brought in from a small amount of water. It was a big job to fill in the entire moat.

Wei Wuji didn't want them to make any progress today, he was just training.

The weakness of the new annex army was completely revealed in the night attack, but a hundred people broke into the camp and paid nearly 2,000 casualties, almost one-third of the northern battalion, what is the use of such soldiers?

In fact, in terms of the quality of individual soldiers, Hanoi and Dong County are almost the same, after all, they are only separated by a river, and they are constantly married and corresponding, and the folk customs are similar. How big a gap can there be between the two, there is categorically no Dong County can fight, and Hanoi cannot fight.

But there is no doubt that the recruits are not as good as the veterans.

Wei Wuji didn't have time to train these troops, and the only way Wei Wuji could do it was for them to use their lives to learn how to become a veteran.

The bows and crossbows on the city walls are sharp, and there are many marksmen, who are extremely vicious. In the process of filling the river, people were constantly shot to death, thrown to the ground, and some people even fell directly into the moat and became part of the river reclamation.

Wei Wuji was not without arrangements for this, only to see the guards supervising the battle lined up behind the north and south battalions, a crossbow arrow opened, a bangzi, bows and arrows broke through the air, a row of soldiers lined up into several ways, and shot in turn, the arrow rain was not dense, but it was endless, like a silk rain to the head of the city, which greatly affected the rain of arrows at the head of the city.

In this way, the pressure on the people who fill the moat is greatly reduced.

Without such a powerful means, I am afraid that a large part of the moat outside the east gate today will disappear. The guards will be able to attack directly under the walls.

Feng Wuxuan had already sent all his crossbowmen to the city, but in the rain of arrows below, there were heavy casualties.

The crossbowmen on the city and the crossbowmen under the city began to shoot fiercely, and for a time the arrows were like flying locusts, which were dense and terrifying.

But then the moat is left unprotected.

For the final outcome of the moat, Feng Wuxuan naturally expected it, no matter how incompetent Wei Jun on the other side was, it was impossible for this moat not to be filled, because this was common sense in siege.

And he also lacked the means to protect the moat.

This moat is outside the city, which is not easy to protect, and Feng Wuxuan can't use rolling stones to beat wood, because if these things go down, most of them will roll into the moat, isn't this asking for trouble?

Therefore, Feng Wuxuan only had crossbowmen to use, so he used crossbowmen to shoot, hoping to prevent the guards from filling the river. It's just that the people in the south camp and the north camp saw the rows of crossbow arrows behind them aiming at them, even if they had a lot of hearts, they all converged, and the origins of the south camp and the north camp and Wei Wuji's Chinese army were also the same, and there was no friendship at all. Therefore, Wei Wuji asked them to supervise the battle, and he would never show the slightest mercy to the soldiers of the northern and southern battalions.

If you don't rush, you will die, if you rush into battle, you may die, how to choose, obvious.

The moat was destined to be filled, but Feng Wuzhi didn't want Wei Wuji to get into his wish, Feng Wuzhi ordered: "Call Difu." ”

After a while, a strong warrior stepped forward and saluted and said, "I've seen the county guard." ”

Divi is a member of the Qiang tribe and is extremely brave. It was favored by Feng Wuxuan.

When Feng Wuxue saw Div coming, he said, "You go to the East Third Gate." I'll slow down my crossbow attack at the East Third Gate. By the time they fill the river. You lead your troops and strike at the guards. Leave the guards and horses by the moat. ”

Def said, "Yes." ”

The two had just discussed a stop, but they heard the guards outside shouting loudly and happily. Just know that something is going on that is not good for them. Feng Wuxue looked outside, and his heart couldn't help but burst, he found that the river water in the moat had decreased a lot. Apparently someone has cut off the link between the lack of water and the moat. As a result, the moat becomes sourceless, and it is only a matter of time before it is filled.
