Chapter 173: Jin Shou Battle 2
Han Xiong looked at Han Baohu and said, "Tong'er, do you remember how we attacked the bandits when we were in Tun Mountain?" Han Xiong felt that the situation in front of him was similar to the original battle against Xiahou Chen's late Zhantun Mountain, the enemy army was defending in a narrow place, and the self-army could not fully deploy, and in the end, he could only rely on Han Baohu's personal ability to break through two stone gates in a row, and finally defeat the bandits. If the situation at that time was the same as now, then the Jinshou City in front of him would probably really rely on Han Baohu to break it.
Han Baohu looked at Han Xiong in a daze, not knowing what his words meant, Han Xiong smiled and said to him, "What does Tong'er like the most?" Han Baohu immediately said happily: "Throwing stones, Tong'er likes it." Di Lu didn't understand the conversation between the two, he only felt that this Han Baohu was full of brute strength, his head was stupid, and he dared to rush, maybe Han Xing had some plan.
Han Xiong then said to Di Lu: "You go and prepare some stones, our ballista can't hit the city tower, but we have cannons, and one hit is accurate, by the way, prepare a rushing car to stand by at any time, I want you to sign and escort the rushing car to attack the city gate." "The order of the last general!" Di Lu seemed to understand a little, so he went down to prepare, and after a while, he found a lot of stones, the largest was the size of a basin, and the smallest was the size of a fist.
Han Xiong asked Han Baohu to put on armor, with an iron basin on his head, just like when he was in Zhantun Mountain, standing seventy or eighty meters away from the city wall, the display cabinet looked carefully on the city tower, but he didn't know what this monster-like person was going to do, only to see two large carts of stones behind him, Zhao Gui suddenly broke out in a cold sweat in his palms, and secretly said in his heart. Sure enough, this Han Baohu picked up the stone and threw it to the city tower, and threw it very accurately, at first the lively Sichuan army didn't know what the situation was, and when they were hit one after another, they were either killed or injured, and then they understood how powerful this Han Baohu was.
The stone flew directly to the city tower like a meteor flying over the cannon, and the Sichuan army did not dare to raise their heads, but someone was still hit, and the Wei army under the city began to cheer. Zhao Gui shouted on the city tower: "Get up and shoot him with arrows, ...... quickly" Before he could say anything, a stone directly hit his head, so frightened that he followed up and shrank his head to avoid the blow.
The archers on the city tower began to shoot arrows continuously, but this Han Baohu was wearing armor, his skin was rough and thick, and the rain of arrows was like a drizzle to him, he just gently brushed away these arrows with his hands, and continued to throw his stones, singing while throwing them, it seemed that he was in a good mood, Han Xiong saw the opportunity and immediately called Di Lu and said to him: "It's time for you to play, bring the rush car and give me a good job!" Di Lu said loudly: "Don't worry, my lord, if you don't break this city today, I'll come to see you." ”
Di Lu personally wore heavy protective armor, followed the chariot and slowly walked in the crowd with a shield, Zhao Gui saw this situation from the appearance of his stomping eyes, and immediately shouted anxiously: "Cheer me up, the enemy army is going to attack the city gate." The stones and the oil are ready, and as soon as they come, they will throw stones at me and pour oil down! Under the city, Han Baohu was still throwing stones to cover Di Lu's rushing car, and Han Xiong was also a little nervous at this time, anxiously waiting for him to lead people to rush in and take the city as long as the city gate was broken.
The car finally came to the city gate, only to see the stone rolling stones on the city tower kept throwing down, but they were blocked by the shield, but when the Sichuan army poured hot oil down, the shield did not work, from time to time someone screamed and covered his face and rolled on the ground, the car began to impact the city gate, the huge impact sound and the screams of the soldiers made people feel frightened, at this time Zhao Gui personally took the lead in throwing the torch down, the hot oil met the fire and ignited, and suddenly several people near the car instantly became a fire man, screaming and being burned alive, The scene was terrifying.
Di Lu shouted loudly at the city gate: "Give it to me, resist it, as soon as the city gate is broken, we will go in and slaughter these grandsons!" Han Baohu snapped two stones and flew out and killed two Sichuan soldiers who were about to throw torches outside, at this time Han Xiong had already led the follow-up troops to support them. Zhao Gui was in a hurry at this time, and urgently ordered someone to destroy the bolt of the gate and jam it, so that the people inside couldn't get out, and it was difficult for the people outside to get in. And he piled up a large number of bags and stones behind the door.
At this time, Han Xiong braved the rain of arrows and shouted that Han Baohu came to help, Han Baohu ran forward to the city gate, the arrows and stones clanged and smashed on him, but he didn't care at all, Han Xiong shouted to him: "Tong'er picked up the car and hit the gate hard." Then he turned to Di Lu and said, "You lead people to climb the ladder to attract the attention of the enemy." Di Lu nodded and shouted, "You all come with me!" Several hoplites began to lift up the nearby beech ladder and set it against the wall, and the men behind began to climb up one after another.
Han Baohu grabbed the tail of the rushing car and pulled it out, and then smashed it the gate, and the people on both sides also helped push it in, and with a loud bang, the door was smashed out of a deep dent, followed by a loud bang, and half of the gate was about to fall off, Han Xiong shouted excitedly. At this moment, an arrow hit him in the cheek impartially, almost piercing his mouth, and immediately his face was covered in blood and fell to the ground. Seeing this, Han Baohu raised the car and let out an angry roar, and knocked all his strength towards the gate, only to see that the half of the city gate that had fallen off suddenly cracked and broke in half, and a big hole appeared on the gate.
Zhao Gui was struggling to deal with Di Lu's wall-climbing tactics on the city tower, and when he learned that the gate had been forced and the Wei army was constantly drilling in through the hole, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "That's it, after a whole day, after all, he was still outnumbered and couldn't hold it." I am ashamed of the king's entrustment" After that, this buddy stuck in the south and raised his sword to apologize for his crimes, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, Di Lufei, who had already climbed the city wall, went up and kicked him.
Han Xiong was rescued by Han Baohu and returned to the camp for treatment, this child was honest, thinking that Han Xiong was going to die, sad and sad to death, Xie Sichun saw him sullen and asked him: "You said you were sad, but why didn't you see a single tear come out?" Han Baohu raised his head and said honestly: "In my heart, I am sad, there are no tears, there is pain here." He pointed to his heart. Yu Wentai was also on the side at this time, Xie Sichun wanted to joke with him again, but felt that the timing was not right, so he didn't say anything more.
Han Xiong almost lost his life this time, the arrow almost pierced his cheek, but fortunately there was a helmet to protect the side, so he just couldn't open his mouth to speak, and he could only eat with a spoon, not chew. Yuwentai was very angry when he saw that the small Jinshou City had been fought for a whole day and was taken down after paying a heavy price, so when Zhao Gui and other Sichuan army generals were escorted to him, he did not hesitate to say: "It's all dragged out and cut down." ”
Su Xuan and Si Chun both wanted to dissuade him, but Yuwentai was even more angry and said to Wei Shouding: "I order you to take over the city, and all those who have participated in the resistance in the city, regardless of military and civilian status, regardless of age, will be executed." Wei Shouding was stunned, this is really a slaughter. Su Sui stood up and admonished bitterly: "Prime Minister must not, our army will continue to fight against the military and civilians of Yizhou in the future, which will only make them more united and rally around Xiao Lun to fight against us, so it will not help, and please think twice about taking back your life." Xie Sichun also stood up and persuaded: "The two armies are fighting for their own masters, and we have just broken this fortified city and slaughtered the old, weak, sick and disabled in the city, and we are only afraid that the soldiers and civilians of Yizhou will be more united to resist us." ”
Wei Shouding also wanted to interject and say a few words, but who knew that Yuwentai had already taken the case and reprimanded loudly: "You are all women's benevolence, Bashu has enjoyed peace for many years, and the people and the army have no concept of fighting at all, but now a small Jinshou City dares to block it in front of my army, and let our army suffer so many casualties that even the vanguard general is seriously injured. How to fight the Sword Pavilion and Chengdu in the future? Do you think you're playing with it? War is meant to kill people! Resistance also comes at a price! ”
Yuwentai's statement is not unreasonable, if you don't kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys, and don't give Xiao Lun a little color, who will be afraid of them, only by making the opponent fearful, so that when he fights against you, you can gain the upper hand in momentum, and you can negotiate with others in a targeted manner, how to say the words of the fighting nation, only with a nuclear bomb in your hand, can you let people return to the negotiating table. Only by intimidating others can they calm down and listen to you.
Su Sui wanted to say something more, but the doctor stood up at this time and said, "Prime Minister, my lords, the patient needs to recuperate at this moment, please don't make a loud noise here." Yu Wentai glared at Su Xuan, and Wei Shouding didn't dare to say anything.
The entire Jinshou City has a total of 1,300 people from Zhao Gui, plus 2,000 people, all of whom were killed in the col in the south of the city, Zhao Gui did not expect that he would be this fate when he died, his head was sent back to Chengdu in a box, and his body was buried according to the specifications of a general, although Yuwentai was brutal but did not lose his mind, he respected his opponents, respected opponents who could give him a heavy blow, including Gao Huan.
Zhao Gui's head was sent by Miao Huaren to the Guanghan Xiao Lun army station, Wang Su, Fei Gong and others were present to witness this tragic moment, the ministers present were Zhao Gui's head trembling with fright, Xiao Lun did not change his face and picked up Yu Wentai's handwritten letter, which was written like this: I heard that Jun is enjoying his days in the wilderness of Yizhou, and I heard that Jun is extraordinary, and Lone is very envious and wants to talk with his feet in the country of abundance, isn't it wonderful? Xiao Lun laughed after reading it, and handed the letter to Wang Su on the side, Wang Su respectfully took it and read it carefully, Xiao Lun smiled: "This Yuwentai is really arrogant, and he also underestimates the feelings of my lieutenant soldiers in Sichuan who are angry with the enemy, how can he think this Chengdu is easy to come in?" ”
After reading the letter, Wang Su handed it to Fei Gong and the others, and loudly agreed: "What the king said is that the Western Wei Dynasty coveted Sichuan for not a day or two, and now if you want to take advantage of the loss of the imperial capital, the emperor wants to fish in troubled waters and rob while the fire is fire, which is also whimsical." "This Wang Su is forty and five this year, since his grandfather, three generations are veterans of Yizhou, don't look at his age is a little old, but he can open a longbow with two stones, and he can gallop and gallop forty or fifty times effortlessly when he picks up a knife and get on a horse, and he has a lot of insight in the marching formation, so he is also a veteran.
Wang Su's words were still echoed by some people, so Xiao Lun boldly said: "In this case, we will lead a large army to Zitong to support General Miao on the same day." So nearly 100,000 Sichuan troops marched to Zitong County one after another. Xiao Lun might not have thought that this battle with Yuwentai would be far more difficult than he imagined.
Due to Han Xiong's injury, and although his subordinates captured Jinshou City, they were unable to fight as a vanguard army due to heavy losses, so they were assigned to the rear of the Dao as the palace army, and he himself was also left in Jinshou City to heal his injuries with peace of mind. He had no way to let Di Lu lead the two thousand Han family troops to follow the army to finish, and he could ask for credit for Han Xiong in the future.
Yuwentai was so partial to Han Xiong, which made the new vanguard army Gao Bin very unconvinced, this Gao Bin was originally the general of the garrison in Bohai, Shandong, belonging to Erzhurong's subordinates, and later Erzhu Zhu's troops were annihilated by Gao Huan, Gao Bin gathered people to disagree and was besieged by Li Erhu's army on a mountain in Qingzhou, and later took advantage of Li Erhu's unpreparedness to flee to Sizhou through Luoshui sneaked to Guanzhong to join Yuwentai.
He was very famous in Shandong in his early years, both civil and military, so Yuwentai used him as a cover to recruit a large number of Erzhu old tribes and the remnants of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Kwantung faction was headed by him and the more mature Yang Zhong. This time he was able to participate in the expedition to Yizhou, Wei Shouding had already been gearing up to show his skills, and he wanted to take a vanguard officer to take the lead to win people's morale, but Yuwentai seemed to favor Han Xiong more.
