Chapter 294 The Battle of the Bohai Sea (1)

On the top of the Bohai City, beacon flames broke out, and on the high platform at the head of the city, the eldest grandson Heng'an, wearing broken armor, was looking out of the city with a calm face. I saw that the outside of the city was densely packed, full of rebel banners, and a rough estimate showed that there were seventy or eighty thousand rebels outside the city! And the defenders in the city are less than 10,000 people left! The eldest grandson Heng'an relied on these soldiers and horses, and he actually defended this city for nearly two months! I have to say it's a miracle!

Although there were tragic shouts of killing in his ears from time to time, the eldest grandson Hengan was unmoved, silently estimating the battle situation in his heart. The situation in front of www.biquge.info is also within the plan of the eldest grandson Heng'an! From the very beginning, the eldest grandson Hengan deliberately asked Cheng Yanjin to send the main force of his subordinates overseas to show weakness to the rebels, and when Guo Xuan, who led the Yandi fierce army, was defeated by the rebels, the eldest grandson Hengan immediately mobilized the defenders of various cities in Hebei, concentrated on the Bohai Sea, and attracted the rebels to attack various empty cities repeatedly! It was by relying on this method that the eldest grandson Hengan also successfully delayed for more than a month and made sufficient preparations for the garrison of Bohai City. When the rebels attacked Bohai City, they had to face a strong city defense and more than 20,000 defenders!

Of course, the ultimate goal of the eldest grandson Hengan was not to repel the rebels, but to attract the rebels to the side of Bohai City. So when facing Gao Shida at the beginning, the eldest grandson Hengan did not choose to take the initiative to attack, but he stuck in the city, passive defense, Gao Shida had no way to capture the Bohai Sea, and successively called several other rebels in Hebei, gradually, Gao Shida has almost all the rebels in Hebei and Shandong gathered in the Bohai Sea, and launched a siege on the Bohai Sea for nearly two months!

Gao Shida seems to firmly believe that as long as he persists, he will be able to break through Bohai City, so he has always insisted on attacking Bohai. So far, the rebels outside the city have lost at least 30,000 people, and of course, the defenders inside the city have also lost nearly half! Now, both the besiegers and the defenders have suffered heavy losses, and this loss will continue to expand!

Eldest Sun Heng'an looked coldly at the rebels who were gradually approaching the city wall, and couldn't help but sneer, and snorted: "It seems that the rebels from Hebei and Shandong have all gathered here!" It's a pity that I didn't be able to see Dou Jiande's banner! Could it be that this person is still staying in Gaojibo? ”

"I'm afraid Dou Jiande won't come!" As soon as the eldest grandson Hengan's words fell, another voice came from behind the eldest grandson Hengan, and I saw that behind the eldest grandson Hengan, a middle-aged man in an official uniform was holding his hands behind his back, touching the two mustaches on his lips left and right, and said with a smile: "After defeating Guo Xuan, Dou Jiande's prestige among the rebels has become higher and higher, far surpassing Gao Shida!" Gao Shida is in such a hurry to send troops to Bohai this time, and it is precisely because of this! Therefore, even if Gao Shida summoned all the soldiers and horses that could be summoned, he would not summon Dou Jiande! In a word, the merit is high! ”

"Mr. Yi!" The eldest grandson Hengan glanced back at the middle-aged man, nodded, and shouted. This middle-aged man's surname is Yi Mingfan, he is the Gong Cao of this Bohai City, since the eldest grandson Hengan led the soldiers and horses into the Bohai Sea, but he found that this person is quite strategic, so he was introduced as a staff member, this plan is also planned by this person with the help of the eldest grandson Hengan! After listening to what Yi Fan said, the eldest grandson Hengan said: "It should be like this!" It seems that this time I can only let Dou Jiande go! Unfortunately, if this person is not removed, he will still become a disaster in the future! ”

"Huh!" Yi Fan laughed, shook his head, and looked out of the city with the eldest grandson Heng'an, but the inverted triangular eyes glanced at the eldest grandson Heng'an next to him, and said with a smile: "General Eldest Sun, leaving this Dou Jiande, for the general, whether it is joy or sorrow, I don't know!" ”

"Oh?" A trace of strangeness suddenly appeared on the originally expressionless face of the eldest grandson, and his brows were slightly curled, but he soon returned to his usual calm, and glanced at Yi Fan indifferently, but he didn't seem to react, and said, "Where did Mr. Yi start with this?" A certain person was ordered by the Holy God to send troops to quell the rebellion, of course, to eliminate the evil! Now that the thieves have not been eliminated, where does the joy come from? ”

"Huh!" Yi Fan's laughter was as sharp as that of the chamberlain, with a dry tone, and while laughing, he shook his head and said: "Gao Shida claims to be the Duke of the East China Sea, and with the defeat of Zhang Jincheng, Gao Kaidao and others, this person is already the head of the Hebei rebels!" Being able to defeat this person is already a great achievement for the general, and it is enough to explain to the saint! Leaving Dou Jiande, wouldn't the general have the opportunity to continue to lead the troops to stay in Hebei? Hehe! I heard that before the general led the troops to Hebei, he had a very good relationship with Liang Guogong, and the lower officials had been fascinated by Liang Guogong for a long time! ”

After Yi Fan finished speaking, he glanced at the eldest grandson Hengan again, then smiled again, turned his head and left. And looking at Yi Fan's departing back, two fine lights flashed in the eyes of the eldest grandson Hengan, and he opened his mouth, but he still didn't speak. Obviously, Yi Fan has just said the top priority of the eldest grandson Hengan's plan this time, that is, to leave Dou Jiande and raise thieves for self-respect! This is also the task assigned by Wan He to the eldest grandson Hengan before, if all the bandits in Hebei are really emptied, then the eldest grandson Hengan must rush back to Luoyang to resume his life! Wan He finally let the eldest grandson Hengan master such an army, and spent so much money to build the army's equipment, if it was handed back so simply, wouldn't it be a big loss? Leaving Dou Jiande is just enough to find an excuse for the eldest grandson Hengan to stop in Hebei, otherwise, the eldest grandson Hengan can let Cheng Yanjin sneak attack Gaojibo first, solve Dou Jiande, and then turn back to deal with Gao Shida!

But the eldest grandson Hengan didn't expect that this plan would be guessed by Yi Fan! The eldest grandson Hengan also realized that he seemed to have underestimated the wisdom of this little-known literati! At that moment just now, the eldest grandson Hengan had even given birth to a killing machine, wanting to kill this person! However, Yi Fan's last sentence made the eldest grandson Hengan dispel his mind again, this person didn't seem to intend to expose the eldest grandson Hengan's plan, could it be that he had other plans? Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Hengan had to press the killing machine against Yi Fan first, so that people could pay close attention to this person's movements, and then, the eldest grandson Hengan turned his head again, looking outside the city, the cold light flashed in his eyes, and the main goal now is to hold the Bohai Sea! Waiting for Cheng Biting Jin's reinforcements!

At this moment, the rebels outside the city have already killed under the city wall, and ladders have been erected on the city wall, but the person in charge of attacking the city this time is Hao Xiaode, who rushed to Bohai two days ago. As the new army of the rebels, Hao Xiaode's soldiers and horses are full of energy, and they happen to be the vanguard of today's siege! But the defenders at the head of the city are not vegetarians! Although the combat effectiveness of these defenders composed of local armies is not as good as that of famous armies such as the Imperial Forest Army and the Counterinsurgency Army, after all, they are also armies that have undergone formal military training, and after nearly two months of fighting, the life and death experience in actual combat has already made them reborn and become an elite army! So, at the moment when the ladder just landed on the city wall, thousands of archers with bows and arrows in hand poured arrows down the city wall!

The rain of arrows mercilessly deprived the rebel soldiers under the city walls of their lives, and with a scream, hundreds of rebels were shot into hedgehogs in an instant! However, the rebel soldiers behind them were not frightened by this formation, they still gritted their teeth and climbed along the ladder towards the city! At the same time, behind them, the archers of the rebel army also came to their aid in time, and many archers on the head of the city had just poked their heads out, but they were shot by arrows flying up from under the city walls, and fell from the city with a scream! Even if the arrow could not kill them, if they fell from such a high wall, they would have been crushed into pulp!

At the head of the city and under the city, the rain of arrows began to intertwine, this has been a play that has been staged every day for the past two months, and under the cover of their comrades-in-arms, the rebel soldiers have also climbed the city wall, and the tall city wall has been densely covered with rebel soldiers!

The defenders at the head of the city did not only have archers, although the other soldiers did not have bows and arrows, but they picked up the stones, wooden blocks, and even the corpses of their comrades who had died in battle, and threw them downward, even if they could only stop the other party for a short time, it was worth it! In just two hours or so of fighting, the corpses of two or three thousand people had already piled up under the city, and the entire city wall of Bohai City was like a huge meat grinder, filling the lives of soldiers on both sides into it!

After two full hours, none of the rebel soldiers were able to storm the city, and in the rear of the rebel formation, a depressing atmosphere began to spread. As the leader of the siege army, Hebei Haojie Hao Xiaode's face also became extremely ugly, and he cursed in his heart, but he cautiously glanced at Gao Shida sitting next to him, and when he saw Gao Shida's iron-blue appearance, Hao Xiaode's heart suddenly sank! Sure enough, it didn't take long for Gao Shida to snort coldly and scold: "It's just a waste!" ”

Hearing Gao Shida's scolding, the bandit leaders around him all looked at each other, and Hao Xiaode shrank his head helplessly, not daring to fight back at all. By Gao Shida's side, there was also Gao Shida's military advisor Song Zhengben, who also looked helpless! Looking up at the battlefield in the distance, Song Zhengben naturally understood why Gao Shida was so angry, it had been two months since he attacked Bohai, but he had never been able to take Bohai. In addition, when Gao Shida went to the Bohai Sea before, Dou Jiande strongly opposed it, but was vetoed by Gao Shida, in contrast, this undoubtedly made Gao Shida a loud slap! Now that the rebels have suffered heavy losses in order to attack the Bohai Sea, Gao Shida's prestige has not only not been improved, but has fallen to a bottom! Song Zhengben also began to doubt whether it was right or wrong for him to agree with Gao Shida's approach!
