398. Retreat from the enemy
In Liu Tong's roar, the soldiers in the back row ignored everything else, and first put the two city gates together and took the door bar.
Liu Tongtun's soldiers either picked up the equipment on the ground, or just rushed up with their bare hands, desperately resisting with Peng Lintun's subordinates, fighting with the enemy, and preventing the enemy from taking a step forward.
The castle tower had already realized that something was wrong, and the archers turned their heads one after another, shooting at the thieves who were still outside the doorway, and the rest of the sword and shield guards flew down the corridor.
The city gate is closed, the Jingzhou cavalry outside the city can only leave first, there is no threat outside the city for the time being, there are more and more people on the city tower who turn back to shoot, and suddenly the arrows rain down, and the thieves in the underground have fallen to the ground with a miserable howl, and the back of the urgent search for shelter to dodge, and soon vacate a large open space.
Liu Tong stood there, pale and shaky due to excessive blood loss, but he refused to fall to the ground, and under the desperate protection of the soldiers, no enemy could get close to him.
In the chaos, Peng Lintun soldiers gave up their weapons to the shirtless robe, and tore off their own clothes to hastily wrap the broken wound for him.
The bare-chested men who have no weapons in their hands, some use their chests to resist knives and guns to fight for opportunities for future generations, and some of them are still hugging and biting each other's throats before they die.
More people in Liu Tongtun had to pick up weapons and stepped forward to resist.
It was only a short moment before the soldiers who rushed down from the castle tower arrived and began to join the battle and besiege the thieves in the doorway.
The clansmen gathered by the Zhang clan were originally a rabble, but they saw that the general trend had gone. There is no hope of taking the door. The front and back are surrounded. Suddenly collapsed, rushed out of the door, and the last few who couldn't react were all cut to the ground.
Just as he rushed out of the door and was about to flee back to the city, the city wall was full of arrows, and most of them were nailed down, and the rest saw that they could not escape, so they threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for their lives.
The previously chaotic and crowded doorway has only become looser.
The fighting enemy turned and fled. Peng Lin hurriedly rushed to Liu Tong's side and supported this colleague who was actually not very familiar with him.
As soon as he helped him, the strength of Liu Tong's entire body suddenly overwhelmed, Peng Lin hurriedly pressed his shoulders against it, and roared loudly in his mouth: "Doctor!" Healer! β
Liu Tong leaned on him, his whole body was covered in cold sweat, but he comforted him: "I can enter Sankun Mountain whenever I die in battle, and my remnants have to be monitored, so I don't need to worry!" β
By the time Sun Guande arrived at the north gate, the chaos had subsided. had to send people around to arrest the Zhang thief.
Liu Tongtun suffered heavy casualties, and 26 people were killed on the spot. Nearly 20 people were seriously injured, including Liu Tong.
This is the battlefield.
Sun Guan walked up to the city tower with a gloomy face, and the young soldier of Peng Hu School, who was stationed at the north gate, saw him, pointed to the north direction urgently, and shouted: "General, look! β
Nearly 1,000 Jingzhou soldiers left the brigade and went north along the way, and that direction was the dock!
Sun Guan immediately gritted his teeth, walked back and forth on the city tower, and finally ordered: "Guard, order Guo Tongxiao to go to the south gate to replace Xiahou Shengxiao!" Xiahou Sheng School and a certain school moved to the North Gate! Xiahou Sheng, Guo Tong, and Peng Hu came here to see me! After the order, please ask Han Taishou again! β
In the previous deployment, Xiahou Sheng was at the south gate, Peng Hu was at the west gate, and Guo Tong stayed in the barracks.
Ma Bo is the eldest son of the old guerrilla captain Ma Pi, who grew up with Xie Yun and others beside Deng Ji, and is more open than others in front of his boss, afraid that Sun Guan will lose his mind, he boldly persuaded: "General, the governor is not here, the responsibility of our army is to defend Wancheng, and I am afraid that we will lose in battle!" β
"Nonsense!" After Sun Guan scolded angrily, he pointed to the outside of the city and said: "Jingzhou is coming, and the number of troops sent is only limited to me across the river, why don't you dare to fight?" β
Ma Bo bowed his head and said no more, Sun Guan continued: "Your Majesty has high hopes for our navy, and you can use it in a year or two. The things hoarded in the dock, the rest are not a pity, but the keel of the ship is purchased by Liu Xu from Changsha at the risk of life and death, most of it has not been used, and now the waterway is broken, and it is urgent to prepare again, how can it be destroyed? β
After Sun Guan's words, Ma Bo hesitated, and said again: "However, if the army comes out lightly, I am afraid that it will be besieged, and then rescue in the city, so that the city will be lost, and our sin will be also great!" β
Sun Guan agreed with this: "Therefore, we need to use our lives inside and outside, and fight separately, so that we will not have a big loss!" β
When Xiahou Sheng, Guo Tong, Peng Hu, Han Song and others arrived one after another, Sun Guan said to him: "The dock is the key point of our naval army, we must ignore it, I will personally lead the army to save it, Guo and Peng Second School Auxiliary Tai guard the city, how about it?" β
Han Song was also a little surprised, now only a small part of the people in the city have been mobilized, and I don't know if there are still internal thieves, if Sun Guan leads half of the soldiers out of the city, will the city still be able to hold it?
Guo Tong, who has always been wooden, spoke: "A certain rough man, Wen Qi is shrewd, it is better to leave him to guard the city, and go with the general!" β
Wen Qi is Xiahou Sheng's word, and he said angrily: "Lao Han, our school has been ordered to go to the north gate, and the matter is urgent, why don't you wait for you to transfer troops again?" Why quarrel about waste? β
Sun Guan also said: "Xiahou School is with me, there is no need to fight!" If we go out and fall under siege, we should not rush to rescue the city, take the city first, and hand over the city wall to the second school such as Er, and the captain who stays in the city can also make it; The affairs in the city are entrusted to the Han envoy, and the envoy should also prevent further internal thieves from causing trouble, and there must be no mistakes! β
Peng Hu said with Guo Tong: "No! Will live up to the trust of the general! β
According to the new system of the Great Yuan Kingdom, Sun Guan is a second-rank general of the regular army, and Taishou is only a third-grade official, although the civil and military forces have nothing to do with each other, but in times of war, military generals are the mainstay, Han Song can only say: "Dare not do your best!" β
The Hengjiang army is not cavalry, and Sun Guan no longer delayed, and ordered to go down, and when the soldiers of the two schools are ready, he will order the north gate to be opened again, and lead more than 3,000 people from the school and Xiahou Sheng to rush out, preparing to defeat the 4,000 Jingzhou soldiers outside the north gate first.
For the needs of water warfare, Hengjiang saber and shield pawns, halberd pawns, bow pawns, and force pawns are all mixed, Sun Guan and Xiahou Sheng two schools combined, the simple force pawns are less, and the other three categories are nearly 1,000 people, after leaving the city, the sword and shield pawns are in front to resist the rain of arrows, and the bow pawns are shooting backwards, and the whole army is moving forward.
At the beginning, I couldn't see that when the two armies were fighting together, their robes were like harvesting straw everywhere to harvest human lives, and Sun Guan and Xiahou Shengju rushed to the front with the military flag, and the blood stained the robes. But no one can stop him on the left and right.
Peng Hu, Peng Lin and others are in the city tower. See with your own eyes the performance of the landlubbers who have been laughed at in the past. Only then did I realize how inadequate my previous understanding was.
The Jingzhou army outside the north gate was led by Zhang Yun and wanted to join forces with the same sect in the city. There were nearly 2,000 crossbowmen in his department, and when they were basically useless in the melee, Zhang Yun's army had already broken and fled.
The heavy task of defending the city was pressed, and as soon as the enemy army outside the city showed its defeat, Guo Tong and Han Song left the city tower first to do their own work. Only Peng Hu stayed and watched Zhang Yunjun flee, so he stomped his feet and asked Ma Bo to guard the north gate and go back to the west gate by himself.
Not long after Sun Guan went out of the city to fight, black smoke was rising from the direction of the dock, and it was the Jingzhou army who arrived and began to set fire to the warehouses.
Luckily, the keels are extremely heavy hardwoods, which are not only difficult to carry, but also difficult to ignite and smash. In order to reduce handling, it is easy to access. The keels in the dock are placed in the open air, and grass huts are built on them, and cowhides are covered to protect them from the sun and rain. Even if the canvas in the Jingzhou soldiers' warehouse caught fire, or was destroyed with an axe and saw, the speed was very slow.
After Deng Ji taught the method, the shipwright carpenter made the ship very fast, and after more than half a year, the keel suitable for making the ship was almost exhausted, and the keel that remained in the dock was the large keel that was ready to make the ship, if only the part was destroyed, it could be shortened and used to make the ship.
Defeated the enemy army outside the north gate, Sun Guan did not pursue, but only led the team to rush to the direction of the dock.
Niyang is in the southwest of Wancheng, so Wen is in the west gate. Sun Guanjun went out of the city, and not long after Wen Ping had been reported, he personally brought the army to help, and halfway through, Zhang Yun had fled to.
Wen Ping was shocked, and while helping Zhang Yun to collect the defeated soldiers, he asked the enemy about his future movements, and Zhang Yun replied: "Go to the dock!" β
Wen Ping asked again: "What is the geometry of its army?" Who is in the lead? β
Zhang Yun blushed shyly: "About three or four thousand!" The flag is General Yokoe. β
Do you besiege the army out of the city first or attack the city first? Although there is no main general in the city, but there are already people on the city wall to help defend, Sun Guan is from the north gate to kill, originally scheduled to go down to the north gate to take the north gate to respond to the inner should have been completely defeated.
After a little hesitation, Wen Ping asked the guards to go to the west gate and the south gate to give orders, and the whole army no longer needed to take care of Wancheng, and rushed to the dock outside the north gate to besiege and kill the Yuan army out of the city first.
The reason why Wancheng was given up was that Wen Ping knew Liu Biao's intentionsβββ capturing the city was only secondary, and the most important thing this time was to attack and contain Deng Ji's army.
Sun Guan hurried to the rescue, which further and more explained the importance of the dock.
Originally, under Liu Biao's command, Zhang Yun's status, which was close to Liu Biao, was still above Wen Ping, but Wen Ping led the bow infantry, and Zhang Yun led the water army, and he had just suffered a defeat, so at this time, Wen Ping could only call the shots.
Sun Guan rushed to the dock, the fire in the warehouses was already very large, and it could not be saved, after killing the Jingzhou soldiers who set fire to destroy, he urgently ordered: "Only save the keel, and the rest don't need to care!" β
Under the straw shed where the keels were stacked, the Jingzhou soldiers really piled up a lot of canvas and salary, poured a lot of grease and lit it, and prepared to burn it all with the most effort. However, looking at the fire from above, after peeling off the flammable materials, only the epidermis of the top dozen keels began to burn, and the bottom ones were still undamaged.
The keel was heavy and could not be carried away for a while, Sun Guan and Xiahou Sheng could only hold on to the spot, and it didn't take long for Wen to hire soldiers.
Wen Pingshang asked Zhang Yun to lead the rear army to prepare reinforcements to ambush Wancheng and then drive out, and he himself first mobilized the whole army of crossbowmen, shot Sun Guanjun with arrows, and slowly advanced.
In the new group of the Hengjiang Army, the armor was not complete, Sun Guan and the halberd pawns retreated beyond the range of the opponent, and Xiahou Sheng led the sword and shield pawns and bow pawns to form a formation and shoot at each other in front of the keel.
When the Wen army approached, Sun Guanfang led the halberd soldiers to rush forward and fight with them.
After strangling, Wen Ping saw that the soldiers of Sizhou were really brave and could not take advantage, so he ordered the troops to be withdrawn, and the crossbowmen rained arrows again.
Sun Guan led the halberd and retreated.
After that, Wen Ping Mingjin, Sun Guan also retreated, Wen Ping transferred the army forward, and Sun Guan also came up to kill. It's just that Wen Ping has a military exchange, but Sun Guan and the others can only resist hard, they have just left the city at the beginning of the time, and they have been fighting until dusk, and they have gradually become exhausted.
That is, at dusk, Zhang Liao led the third colonel of the Weilie Army to rush back to Wancheng and kill the dock, and Wen Ping had to collect his troops.
Seeing that it was dark, the three school soldiers who rushed all the way to help and rescue him were also tired and tired, and Zhang Liao only protected the dock and Sun Guanbu, and stopped fighting.
At dawn on the second day, Wen Ping and Zhang Yun had already set up camp and turned from attack to defense, but Zhang Liao did not dare to attack hard.
Su Feijun rushed to Wancheng by land, and many letters and newspapers had already been transmitted to Wancheng along the way. Su Fei rushed to the east bank of the river at noon on this day, but Zhang Huxiao had already sailed the Hengjiang Army warship downstream to avoid it.
Su Fei couldn't destroy the warships of the Hengjiang Army, so he had to order the sergeant to set up a raft, cross the river upstream, and then join Wenpin.
There are many cavalry under Deng Ji's command, and now Luyang Zhao Yun is probably also coming, Su Feijun can attack by land, if he goes back by the way, he will definitely be intercepted and killed, the reason why Wen Ping and Zhang Yun have not retreated is that according to the previous plan of the Kuai brothers, the battle situation is unfavorable and they have to wait for Su Feijun to arrive.
At this time, if it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that Niyang and the warship he took will be taken by the Hengye army who rushed from the west, and when Su Fei arrived, Wen Ping and others began to retreat.
This year, the soldiers first replenished the three armies of Pingliang, Hengjiang, and Hengye, and the only few hundred supplements were also allocated to Liu Pi and Lei Bo in Xinye. Although Zhang Liao had three schools, there were actually less than 3,000 soldiers at this time, and the enemy general Wen Ping was capable and capable of fighting, and the Jingzhou army still had nearly 20,000 and a lot of bows and crossbows, Zhang Liao did not dare to chase him too closely, and only followed his army to Nieyang.
Reinforcements had not yet arrived, and Zhang Liao could only watch as he and the others retreated one after another and left.
A day later, the enemy of Shinno also retreated.
