301. Harassment
>,!
On the roof of the Wutun West Dock Building in Zheyan Pavilion, Duyang County, there are still some stones scattered together, and under the female wall, more than 20 villagers look at the 600 people riding under the dock fort, all of them are cold and full of despair.
On the other side of the East Fort, the burning flames have not been extinguished, and the billowing smoke is straight into the sky.
The East Fort had fallen three hours earlier, and the Tun Chang was shot dead by the Di people after covering the retreat of the women and children to the West Fort.
Bentun originally had a supervisor who lived, and the inspector who lacked a leg died later than Tunchang, and the first Di person who climbed up the female wall of Xibao from the ladder was held by the superintendent, and jumped down the stairs together, scaring the Di people below, and that wave of offensive collapsed.
The tragic battle alarmed all directions, and the neighing of nearly a thousand war horses came and went one after another more than 100 paces behind the Diren formation, near the continuous tethered horse pile, and never stopped.
Under the two forts, there are now thirteen broken ladders, and there are nearly two hundred corpses lying horizontally and vertically. It's just that there are more Di people left, and they are determined not to retreat, and they insist on gnawing the bone of Wutun, but the reinforcements are not seen for a long time, and there is only this point left in Quantun to make the man who has momentum, and there is not a single soldier among them, even those who can barely hold the bow have all died, and the falling rocks are about to run out, plus the prestige of the tun chief to supervise the death, and the next wave of attacks will take up four or five cloud ladders, can they still be pushed away? Smashed?
The gate of the dock fort below is strong and difficult to break, the previous ladders have all been destroyed, the equipment of the Di people is only a scimitar and a big bow, and there is no shield to protect them, afraid of the falling rocks on the dock fort, slightly retreat to dozens of steps, re-cut the wood and build ladders, and prepare for the next wave of attacks, estimating that there will be a little more than half an hour, and the attack will start again.
The pre-war depression was unbearable, and among the surviving defenders, a middle-aged man with an arrow in his arm turned pale and suddenly said, "Duke Deng has an order. We have killed so many people, and we are worthy of the twenty acres of land they have granted! It's not as good as ......."
In the back, the voice was getting quieter and quieter, and looking at him, there were cold and pressing eyes all around.
"Che sheep! I saw you dare to kill before, but you can be regarded as a soldier who has not joined the army! But unexpectedly, Lao Tzu looked badly, and he also had the dirty mind of begging for his life from the western thief! "The weak master has been participating in the battle with him upstairs, and he has not lagged behind at all, and has won the admiration of the people, who used to be superior to the common people, but now he has more momentum to train people. It's just crudely tight. It's not like Sven in the past: "The thief is like a maggot." Will you also descend? There are people in Meiyang, Yongxian County, who obey Deng's order to surrender in danger, but after the fort is sacrificed, can one person live? ”
Deng Ji has been in charge of Sanfu for less than two years, and these people come from all over the world. On weekdays, he is not much close, but today he is a lot closer to the tribulation, and after the reluctantly leading master scolded, the rest of the civilians also glared at him angrily, and some people were ready to fight each other.
Che Yang'er's face became whiter, Nuo Nuo didn't dare to say any more, the master snorted coldly in his nose again, and said left and right: "The life of people in troubled times is not as good as dogs." There is a useless bookworm in my hometown, and I have suffered misfortune and drifted all over the world, and I have no pity for the remnants of my life, so I only regard it as a person and marry it. Determine the household registration, and give the land to maintain health and light endowment, and build a dock fort to live in peace and be exempted from military service! Today, the people under the fort are willing to stay alive, and I should also die for others, and no longer be a dog and pig for other people! ”
"What the Master said is great! Win a certain heart! ”
"Che Yang'er, you go to survive, I will wait to fight to the death!"
"Sheep, sheep, in the future, you should change to a gallless car mouse!"
The clumsy villagers and peasants ignored the danger again, cheered for the master together, and scolded angrily, which provoked the chariot sheep's complexion to change again, and turned from white to blue, stretched out the injured arm, and said angrily: "I also fought to the death before!" I haven't taken a step back! ”
"I dared to fight before, why are I afraid of death now?"
While everyone was talking, the wooden corridor behind them "creaked" and "creaked", but it was two sturdy peasant women carrying a pot of freshly boiled boiling water to the top of the building.
The two women who went upstairs, one of whom had a dead husband, and whose body was near the female wall on the left, with an arrow feather on his neck; The other was Che Yang'er's wife, He's, and a villager asked with a sneer: "Che Yang'er wants to beg for his life to live in the Di people, are you also willing to be a Di woman?" ”
The words on the roof of the building before, the two women actually heard it in the corridor, He ignored the questioning man, and put the boiling water under the female wall with his companion Xiaoyi to stabilize, and took a few breaths of air before he stepped forward and took the hand of the car sheep: "Don't miss your wife and children, your family died here, and the slave and the child have no regrets!" ”
Seeing He's actions, the hearts of the masters and peasants were sour, and the chariots and sheep were also sad, and the woman with her dead husband on the side of the female wall looked left and right for a while, and suddenly laughed nervously, and turned around to hold on to the wooden fence and screamed inside: "Die quickly!" Are you waiting for it to come? ”
The woman shouted, and there was a dead silence in the dock at first, and it didn't take long for the wooden corridor to make a loud noise, and a large group of people waited for it.
Death is also death together! The women held the young children, the children supported the elderly, and the rest of the people in the whole tun had to climb up to the top floor!
"Slow down! Slow down! ”
The corridor was crowded with people, and the woman who greeted him stopped shouting and shouted at the top of the staircase: "The children go and prepare the things first, and when the dock is broken, they can set fire to the building!" Ah Weng and Ah Mu come up to help! The falling rocks on the top are no longer enough, please go home, doors, windows, beds, seats, etc., if you can smash people, just dismantle them! ”
When the woman shouted in a certain manner, the children shouted and retreated: "I will wait for the fire to be set on fire, and the dog will not be extinguished if it is lit, and nothing will be left for him!" ”
At the beginning of the war, the old people who were still hiding in the downstairs room were even trembling when they walked on weekdays, and they were really old, but at this time they also went to the roof of the building to sell a handful of old bones. The women were in charge of boiling water and carrying stones, and tending to the old and young children, and when they heard the shouting, they went home to dismantle their things.
"Shame! Ashamed! After seeing the woman's voice a few times, the situation seemed to be very different from before, and the master, who had secretly regarded himself as the leader of Wutun, couldn't help but blush.
The people had a good time for a while, and only then did they set up five new ladders, shouting and surrounding.
The final battle to the death was just around the corner, but before the ladder reached the top of the dock fort, the chariot and sheep that had never let go of their own women's hands had already let go and cheered: "The soldiers are coming!" I'm saved! ”
The master hurriedly raised his eyes, and at the end of his sight, he could see a cavalry rushing towards him, about four or five hundred horsemen.
These four or five hundred horsemen are all dressed in black robes, and they must be Deng Ji's pawns!
Reinforcements are coming, I'm waiting for help! After a while, the dock fort suddenly cheered, and He's whole body went limp, and his body snuggled up in the arms of the chariot sheep. Whimper.
The dead husband has been strong, and finally the sturdy woman who mobilized the whole women, children, and elderly people to help, knelt by the women's wall and cried.
The tears of the old people and the cheers of the children will become the memories that the survivors of Wutun in Zhiyanting in Duyang County will never forget.
The people under the dock fort also came to reinforce the army, and the leader shouted: "Go, don't fight!" ”
It's just that in order to attack the dock fort, the Di people tied their horses behind them, and it took a lot of time to escape on horseback. And in order to save horsepower retention, this dusty soldier did not even bring the proud armor and military rations. Only light horses came to help. It's much faster than the messy people. Half an hour later, they caught up with the reapers from behind.
After the soldiers caught up, it instantly turned into a rout, and the Di people no longer had the might when they attacked the Mintunwu Fort, and they were only in a hurry to flee for their lives. Leave your back to the enemy.
It is not difficult to kill such an army, and the pawns are extremely fast. The master and son of the dock fort have been mobilizing women and children to rush out and collect the ownerless war horses.
When Zhang Liao was fighting hard in Ji County, the land of Youfu Feng was already full of wolf smoke.
Yang Qiucheng, who broke into the right Fufeng, Yimawan and other local cavalry that was strong and united with Qiang, knew the combat effectiveness of the Sizhou soldiers, and would not go to a decisive battle with the two armies, and scattered in all directions around Chencang County, or a team of four or five hundred cavalry, or a thousand people. Separate harassment places.
Although most of the Xiliang people scoffed at Deng Ji's defense of Mintun with Wubao, Yang Qiu and the others also guarded against unfavorable battles before they went on the road, and each knight asked to bring enough dry food for a month, and the sergeants had food. The war horses could not solve the problem, so they had to find some hay in the mountains and fields.
After the autumn harvest, the farmland should be full of straw stalks, but it was also collected by the local people, and all those who had no time to harvest were set on fire to the ground.
A lot of preparations were made in advance, but there were too many Xiliang men and horses pouring in, and they never fought head-on with the Sizhou army when they were outnumbered or had similar troops.
In such a scuffle, the battle line instantly spread throughout the entire right Fufeng, and in the westernmost part there was still a team of Xiliang people who remained in Chencang to harass, but in the east, a small number of Qiang Qi cavalry had rushed to the vicinity of Jingzhao Yin Chang'an.
The county seat is not worried. The dock fort of the right wind was built slowly by the local people when they were slack, and after the failure of Xu Shu's mission, Deng Ji hurriedly invested a large number of servants to rush to work, and finally had to be completed before the war. It's just that there is no local army like the Rock Army stationed in the local area, and the meritorious people assigned in the Mintun belong to the Weilie Army, at this time they are fighting with the army outside, and there is a lack of backbone in the Mintun, and the Xiliang Army is disturbed, and it is very lost to a few, and the people of the Tun are slaughtered by the West Thieves, which makes Deng Ji angry, and is afraid of causing chaos in Sanfu, and the plan to rescue Ji County is also temporarily stranded.
In order to hurry up, Deng Ji ordered the soldiers of the two armies to go to the nearby county treasury to store the armor, and borrow it on the spot after the war, so as to minimize the losses of the people.
Even ordered the county people, if the thief is too big, when the reinforcements do not arrive, they can temporarily surrender to get their lives, and they will never blame or investigate afterwards! It's just that the Xiliang coalition army is really barbaric and ferocious, even if there is an officer order during the battle, they can't stop the killing, and after the people who surrendered in Liangtun were slaughtered, no one was willing to surrender to death according to Deng Ji's words.
Fortunately, the solidity of the dock fort also really gave the Xiliang army a headache, a small group of people and horses were difficult to gnaw, the county seat was even more difficult to take, and the Sizhou soldiers were extremely effective in rescuing, Yang Qiu's various departments did not get much, and the eleven people before and after were broken.
After more than a month, the dry food brought by the Xiliang soldiers was almost exhausted, and they had no choice but to contact each other, wanting to return to Ji County to replenish and recuperate, and prepare to come again next time.
During the attack, the Xiliang people did not want to fight with the Sizhou army, and left when they saw an army coming. However, to save the people in danger, Deng Ji was in a hurry, and the two Qu Chang who were not effective in rescue were both questioned and beheaded, and Huya Xiao rode the two armies and schools and Qu desperately went out to intercept and fight, plus the damage caused by the attack on Mintun, after Chen Cang, Yang Qiu checked again, and nearly 20,000 of the more than 40,000 horses who came over have been silently thrown in the right Fufeng.
This time it turned out to be a loss-making transaction.
