Chapter 748: Dandang Offensive and Defensive Battle
Weng Yong stared at the benevolent brother who carried the flag with a pair of glasses, his face was extremely ugly, obviously hated this kid to the bone, in fact, it was also, if he wasn't so ignorant of current affairs, he would have been a prisoner there.
Yue Shaoan rode on the red horse, looking at the two people, expressionless, and did not speak, waiting for the reaction of the flag bearer.
The benevolent brother who carried the flag was slightly stunned at first, and then slowly moved his gaze staring at Yue Shaoan's face to Weng Yong's face, Weng Yong looked back at the brother carrying the flag with disdain, and snorted coldly in his nose, as if to say, I feel self-defeating, lest I let people use the knife.
The two were stalemate for a while, and the flag bearer took a few steps forward, opened his mouth, and a mouthful of thick phlegm shot out of his mouth like a sharp arrow, shooting straight into Weng Yong's face.
Weng Yong was stunned by his action, stretched out his hand in a daze, wiped off the thick phlegm on his face, stared at the sticky matter in his hand, and suddenly screamed, and was about to rush forward.
At this time, the flag bearer suddenly raised his head, laughed out loud, and scolded angrily: "As the main general, you don't want to resist when you encounter the enemy, you just run away in fear, and the army dismounts and surrenders without a fight, and you still have a face to reprimand me." If you don't do it, eat the king's luck, and serve the country loyally and bravely, I will make a decision. With that, he pulled out his saber suddenly, pulled it across his neck gently, and under the splash of blood, the flag-carrying brother made a few "cluck......ing" sounds in his throat, and his body slowly withered. After a few convulsions, he stopped moving, and the big flag still stood motionless in his hand, fluttering in the wind.
Weng Yong could think that the soldier who was silent on weekdays actually had such a fierce atmosphere, and he was caught off guard for a while, and was sprayed with blood all over his head and face, Weng Yong was furious, and rushed over to kick the flag carrying brother out of the air, and suddenly, a voice came from behind him: "Stop!" ”
Hearing this voice, Weng Yong's body seemed to be frozen, and it froze there. Because of that voice, he could distinguish that it was Yue Shaoan. He turned his head slowly, his eyes puzzled.
Yue Shaoan said lightly: "General Weng ran all the way, he must be tired, let's go and change his clothes first!" ”
With Yue Shao'an's words, two soldiers jumped out of the ranks, strode behind Weng Yong, and stood there. Weng Yong's face changed slightly, he gave a light salute, and followed the two soldiers down.
Yue Shao'an looked at the flag carrying brother who was holding the flag after his death, shook his head slightly, and said, "Buried it!" ”
All the soldiers followed Yue Shao'an's gaze and looked quietly at the flag carrying brother for a few seconds, and then they took action, and at the beginning of Yue Shao'an's attack on Dali, few people in Dali could show such backbone. However, the real emergence of such a person, whether as respect for a person with backbone or a sense of identification with the soldiers, made them pay a lot of attention to this ordinary soldier.
After Weng Yong surrendered, there was no decent resistance in the entire Moutong Mansion, however, those Dali troops who fled in all directions had to be cleaned up as soon as possible, otherwise, let them flow out and easily become a chaotic army, which would affect Yue Shao'an's plan, and he wanted to capture Dali with a Dali country that was as perfect as possible, not a piece of dilapidated land. Therefore, although the time was pressing, Yue Shao'an still stayed, and spent half a day integrating most of the deserters, and then left two thousand men and horses and two capable generals to pursue the other deserters, while he led the army to rush towards Dandang City.
The war horse galloped, waving up billowing smoke and dust, and the momentum was extremely spectacular, but time was little by little. The smoke and dust gradually disappeared into the twilight.
In the dark night, outside the city, a huge fire dragon rushed in, and the torches scattered inside and outside the fire dragon were like phosphorus fire in the water waves, echoing with the stars in the sky.
The Dandang City in front of him gradually came into view, looking at the sparse firelight, which was gradually increasing, Zhang Heng became more and more excited from the bottom of his heart. It was obvious that Dandangcheng was unprepared for the battle in front of him, and it was not until he found out that he was coming, that he hurriedly prepared. This kind of temporary preparation, where the enemy can hold his own army, Zhang Heng's confidence swelled unprecedentedly, the iron rod suddenly drew a beautiful arc in his mouth, suddenly pointed forward, shouted, the siege order, the cry of fighting instantly resounded in the night sky.
Dandang City was surrounded by Zhang Heng's army almost instantly, and the soldiers who had been running wildly for days finally saw the end, so that the Dali Emperor who was angry, depressed, bleeding from the stomach, and was still tired and half dead was in the city, as long as he was caught, then all this effort was worth it, and the soldiers under Zhang Heng seemed to burst out of the only strength in their bodies at this moment, and the army shouted and swarmed with the ladder.
Dandang City was originally a small city, and the city walls were only a battle high, and Zhang Heng could only hurriedly make these clumsy ladders, but they just happened to come in handy.
However, the soldiers who were full of joy and had just put the pulley made of the log in half under the ladder against the city wall, when suddenly a rain of arrows roared down from overhead. The soldiers under the Zhang Heng tent should have been stunned there. Before they could react, more rolling stone giant trees fell one after another, and the simple ladder was smashed into pieces, and for a while, the blockers were powdered, and the soldiers besieging the city were beaten down before they could reach the top of the city.
Zhang Heng looked at it below and was stunned, what was going on? Didn't the city have no defenses before? How could there be so many defenders all of a sudden, and looking at this posture, it is clear that they have already taken precautions, otherwise, how could so many garrison equipment be transported in a short period of time. Zhang Heng fell into thought, but if a person is attracted to his heart by something, his heart will find all kinds of reasons for him to remove the obstacles in front of him. Zhang Heng at this time is undoubtedly like this, and the sudden situation in front of him came to a conclusion after two turns in his mind. All this seemed to tell him the news, that is, Duan Yiming was really in the city. If this were not the case, how could the defenders of the city use their lives so hard for such a small city.
Gradually, Zhang Heng seemed to have come to the truth of the matter, in the face of stubborn resistance, he was not discouraged, but more excited, he shouted loudly: "Soldiers, Duan Yiming is in the city, as long as the city is captured, Dali will be at your fingertips, and the opportunity for meritorious service is in front of you. Those below the commander shall be promoted to commander and rewarded with a thousand gold. Kill—"
Zhang Heng's roar was heard, and the soldiers who had just been beaten down seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and their faces turned red with excitement, and they picked up the broken ladders again and rushed towards the city. The shouts shook again, and the morale of the besieging soldiers rose sharply again.
The soldiers besieging the city, holding torches and carrying ladders, were extremely violent, Zhang Heng supervised the formation behind, looking at them, their eyes were a little red, it seemed that it was only a matter of time before Yi Ming arrived.
However, this time, Zhang Heng was disappointed again. Although the defenders at the head of the city did not throw thunder stones and rolling wood this time, they threw down firewood and hot oil, and the siege soldiers who held torches were very unlucky to use the torches in their hands to ignite the firewood and grass, and most of the firewood and grass were poured with fire oil, and the sparks rose up to a raging fire, and the city suddenly ignited a fire, this time, Zhang Heng's tattered ladders were completely explained here, the fire rose up, more than half a zhang high, under the city, on the city, the soldiers on both sides of the attack and defense have been able to see each other's faces clearly, for a while, Bows and arrows beckoned to each other, but the besiegers who had the misfortune of being lightly clothed were not there, but were rolling wildly on the ground, screaming miserably......
Zhang Heng was angry, this time he was really angry, he waved the stick and did not hesitate to give the order to attack the city again, however, he did not let the soldiers fearlessly throw themselves into the fire, but also gave a crack, the soldiers behind one after another carried a package, and threw it towards the city, accompanied by the sound of "tom tom ......tom tom" wrapped to the ground, the cloth outside exploded, leaking out the dust inside, this trick is very effective, the soil bag not only has the effect of extinguishing the fire, Moreover, the dust raised by those dirt bags also gave full play to the residual strength, and the soldiers defending the city were choked and coughed, and fled in all directions, even a few loyal defenders still stuck here, but they could not please them, in addition to being swept to the ground, they were even more confused, what other effect could there be.
The angry Zhang Heng not only asked people to attack the city with the method of mounding, but also sent troops to constantly hit the city gate, which looked dilapidated, but it could not be broken for a long time. In the end, Zhang Heng simply ordered people to set fire to the city, and the defenders inside were obviously not stupid, seeing that the city gate was not protected, they simply set fire inside, and set fire at both ends at the same time, and the city gate was soon turned into ashes under the burning of the raging fire, however, the city gate was gone, but the city still could not enter, because the wooden gate was gone, but there was an extra fire gate. Completely separate the attacker and the defender.
Zhang Heng was furious, but there was nothing he could do, there was a strong smell of burnt meat wafting in the air, which made his heart chaotic, and he could only keep urging the soldiers to feel the filling of the soil, the ladder was gone, and the city gate could not enter, he could only use the most stupid method now, that is, to use the soil to pile up the ground under the city, as long as it reached a certain height, he could jump directly into the city and cut down the defenders of the muddy ass.
Zhang Heng urged very tightly, and the soldiers also threw dirt bags under the city wall without forgetting to die, seeing that a road made of mounds of earth was about to appear, and the situation changed again......
