Chapter 265: Beating the Reservoir Dogs

The attack lasted for several days, but it was not particularly intense, and the attacking Mongolian army did not seem to be in a hurry, which also allowed the soldiers of the Xingyuan Mansion Imperial Army in the city to resist calmly, but the heart of the coach Zhang Jue was full of worry, in his opinion, the Mongolian army must be full of confidence, so unhurried. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Still can't get any information from the outside world, the city of Bazhou Prefecture was besieged like an iron bucket, and none of the sergeants sent out could break through the heavy defense lines of the Mongolian army, all of them were killed, Zhang Jue simply did not send the sergeants out of the city, and there was no need to continue to send such a death behavior.

Yesterday, the Mongolian army suddenly strengthened its offensive, which caught the garrison soldiers off guard, and almost allowed the Mongolian army to break through the city wall.

Zhang Jue also began to get nervous, he knew that the Mongolian army suddenly strengthened the attack, and he must have made up his mind to take the state city, at this time, there must not be the slightest negligence, otherwise the consequences cannot be imagined.

At night, Zhang Jue personally went to the city wall to inspect, and once again paid attention to observing the military camp of the Mongolian army outside the city.

At that time, the Mongolian military camp was already full of people, and Zhang Jue understood that the attack was about to start.

A large number of sergeants went up to the city wall, a large number of shields were transported to the city wall, iron pots were erected, and stones were also moved, but don't underestimate these things, the blow to the Mongolian army is fatal.

Finally, when the time came, the Mongolian army outside the city had already lined up their formation, and Zhang Jue's judgment was completely accurate.

Rumbling drums sounded, and the Mongol offensive began.

The trebuchet threw huge stones at the city wall, and the stones fell on the top of the city wall, and all the sergeants felt the tremors, and the big stones were easy to dodge, and those stones that were not big or small were the most deadly, and they hit the head and body, and they didn't even think about life, even if they were shields, they couldn't resist it.

The city walls were instantly filled with the smell of blood.

The trebuchet threw stones for a quarter of an hour.

The Mongol army moved and charged towards the city wall, and the whistling rain of arrows followed.

The sergeants on the city wall had long been concentrated, and they also raised their bows and arrows.

。。。

Two o'clock.

More than 45,000 officers and men of the imperial army in Hezhou gathered in front of the temporary point of the general platform, their expressions were solemn and their emotions were excited, and they were waiting for the order to set off.

This time, it was Wu Shaogang who stepped onto the stage.

Following Wu Shaogang was Cai Siwei.

Wu Shaogang looked at the soldiers below who were all holding war horses in their hands, and at this moment, even the war horses were quiet, waiting for orders.

After taking a deep breath, Wu Shaogang roared out loudly.

"Brothers, use all your strength to defeat the Mongol Tartars, and the imperial army of Hezhou will win."

Cai Siwei, who followed behind Wu Shaogang, clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it high.

"Victory."

"Victory...

The sound of the mountain and the tsunami came instantly, as if it was about to penetrate the clouds, and at this time, any words were superfluous.

The shouts finally ended, and Wu Shaogang, who was on the stage, looked at Cai Siwei behind him.

"Let's go."

Cai Siwei used all his strength and roared out.

At the front of the team is Chang Mingquan, although he has just experienced an extraordinary battle, and even when he is the most stalemate, Chang Mingquan is dressed in battle, but at this moment, he looks full of energy and does not have the slightest fatigue.

The army that followed behind, many of them also participated in the battle, some of them were wrapped in white veils on their heads or arms, and they could faintly see blood stains, but they didn't care about these wounds, they were also full of energy, in their minds, completely defeating the invading Mongolian army was what they should really care about and do.

Wu Shaogang, who was riding a horse, was side by side with Cai Siwei, and Hao Jing was a few meters behind.

At the beginning of the march, the speed was not very fast, the army was less than sixty miles away from Bazhou, if it was a fast march, it would be able to reach the battlefield in less than an hour, but that kind of rapid rush had an impact on the war horse, and it was necessary to preserve the horse's physical strength before the attack began.

In this operation, Cai Siwei is also the commander-in-chief.

Cai Siwei's face was filled with excitement and a hint of frustration.

Wu Shaogang knew Cai Siwei's thoughts.

"Cai Siwei, have you heard the story of the water dogs?"

Cai Siwei turned his head to look at Wu Shaogang, confused, he had never survived the story of the water dog.

"My lord, my subordinates haven't heard of it."

"Well, our battle this time is the meaning of beating the water dog, the dog that bites people, must be beaten, even if it has fallen into the water, don't pity, it must be beaten until it can't move, don't think that it pretends to be pitiful and compassionate, we are fighting this time, it is inevitable to defeat the Mongolian army, but our key target is the two of them are Claw and Wuliang Hetai, as for Zhang Rou, that is secondary, on the Mongolian steppe, there are nearly 200,000 Mongolian iron horses, but they only have one claw, a Wuliang Hetai, If we kill or capture any of them, it will be a great blow to the Mongol Tartars. ”

"Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, you must keep in mind this sentence, the so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, that is, this truth, this battle must be ruthless, and as much as possible to destroy the Mongolian army."

"Of course, you also have a clear understanding, this operation can not completely wipe out the invading Mongolian army, after all, they have 40,000 people, yesterday's battle, we besieged 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry with 30,000 people, our most elite sergeants were all dispatched, and more than 1,000 Mongolian troops fled, our own losses exceeded one-third, which is enough for us to have a clear understanding of our own strength, as a commander, you can't be greedy, at present, the strength of our Hezhou Imperial Army, far from reaching the level of invincibility in the world."

。。。

Wu Shaogang's words made Cai Siwei bow his head unconsciously, and his face was a little red.

If it weren't for Wu Shaogang's reminder, Cai Siwei really wanted to eat the 40,000 Mongolian troops in one go, and he had a resentment in his heart, and this resentment would definitely be vented on the Mongolian army.

Wu Shaogang's reminder made him understand that he must have a clear understanding of his own strength in order to be able to calmly command the army to fight, and it seems that he still has a lot to learn in this regard.

"My lord, my subordinates remember."

"Okay, if you remember, I'll be relieved."

The Mongol army's rounds of attacks made the soldiers on the city wall breathless.

The officers who commanded the battle, constantly asked for help, the casualties of the sergeants on the city wall were gradually increasing, most of them fell under the rain of arrows, although it was said that there was a shield to cover, but the Mongolian army rushed towards the city wall under the cover of the rain of arrows, the sergeant on the city wall could not always hide under the shield, so the Mongolian army climbed towards the city wall, the sergeant did not know at all.

The chariot also crashed towards the city wall, if Zhang Jue hadn't given an order late at night to block the city gate with stones and mud, I'm afraid the city gate would have been broken by the chariot.

The Mongol army's offensive was unusually sharp from the beginning, and there was almost no time to stop.

Zhang Jue repeatedly went to the city wall to command the battle, but in the end he was persuaded by the guards around him, after all, Zhang Jue is the boss, if the boss has an accident, then the next battle will be even more difficult to continue.

Compared with the last time the Mongol Tatars besieged the city of Bazhou, the soldiers of the imperial army of Xingyuan Mansion were more courageous, perhaps because they had defeated the Mongol Tatars, their confidence was much stronger, although the Mongol Tatars' attack was extremely fierce, although the casualties on the city wall continued to increase, but the soldiers were not afraid, they were all desperate resistance.

Countless stones and boiling water poured down from the top of the city walls, in exchange for bursts of screams.

Countless bows and arrows were also shot under the city walls, although not as good as the rain of arrows of the Mongol Tatars, but they were also able to cause casualties among the Mongol Tatars.

Three successive rounds of attacks passed, and the Mongolian army did not make the slightest progress.

In half an hour and three rounds of attack, the claws can be said to be fighting, and Zhang Rou is also fighting.

But the reality of the situation still made the claw anxious, he began to lose his temper, and constantly reprimanded the heralds who came to report the military situation, and even the Wuliang Hetai around him was a little unbearable, such a reprimand would definitely make Zhang Rou, the deputy marshal who commanded the battle in the front, discouraged, which was very bad for boosting morale.

After all, the attack had only started for half an hour, and if there was a breakthrough in such a short time, then it might not be the army stationed in the city.

Taking advantage of the gap between the heralds' departure, Wuliang Hetai euphemistically reminded the claw capital in Mongolian.

What Wuliang Hetai didn't expect was that after hearing these words, Claw Du actually lost his temper with him.

Paw is a prince, and he is the boss, although Wuliang Hetai is not ordinary, he can only listen.

Perhaps at this time, Wuliang Hetai finally understood, why as a prince, the claw capital, rarely became the commander of the army, rarely led the army to fight, it seems that compared with the princes such as Hedan, Tachar, Habichi and even Moge, the gap between the claw capital is too big, there is no peace of mind, there is no courage to be in the battle, such an ability, how can it be the attention of the Great Khan Kublai Khan.

If it weren't for the fiasco the day before, Wuliang Hetai might have argued, but now he doesn't have the slightest confidence, so he has suffered a fiasco, and he naturally has to hold his tail in front of the coach.

After the claw was reprimanded, Wuliang Hetai smiled slightly, said a few words in Mongolian, and then stood up and left the Zhongjun tent.

Uliang Hetai decided to go to the front to see what the offensive of the army was.

Not far from the outside of the Chinese military tent, the cavalry who had been evacuated from yesterday's battle were resting here, and when they saw Wuliang Hetai on their horses, they also mounted their horses one after another, preparing to follow Wuliang Hetai's side.

Wuliang Hetai turned his head to look at these sergeants, looked at the guards around him, did not speak, raised his horsewhip, shook it in the air a few times, and the war horse under his crotch quickly rushed forward... (To be continued.) )
