Chapter 541: The Karma of Faith
Thanks to the fact that Qianhu had too much appetite and wanted to swallow 30,000 Liaodong troops in one bite, Yao Yizhong's troops successfully passed through Jingcheng Pass and arrived at Zhending City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yao Yizhong saw that all his subordinates had arrived, so he spoke: "Everyone, our army's successful passage through Jingcheng Pass can be regarded as a preliminary completion of the task assigned by Da Sima, and then we will launch an attack on Zhending City." ”
"Also, please keep in mind that although this attack is a feint to lure the main force of Hu Lu to appear, in order to confuse the enemy, I hope that everyone will go all out during the attack."
"The more pressure we put on the defenders, the sooner the main forces of the Qianghu hidden in the shadows will appear, so as to create an opportunity for the main force of the army to gather and annihilate the Beard."
"No! The last general will wait for the order. ”
Under the city of Zhending, Yao Yizhong observed carefully for a moment and found that the defenders in the city were really prepared, and he couldn't help but be secretly proud. With a wave of his hand, he quickly commanded his subordinates to attack from the four gates at the same time.
Although the attack must be a feint to lure the enemy, in order to confuse the real with the false, the 30,000 Liaodong Army still set up a position very seriously, and there are many siege equipment.
Hu Lu, who was defending Zhending City, saw the tens of thousands of Liaodong troops attacking under the city, and couldn't help but nervously clench the weapons in his hands, and stared at the approaching Liaodong army without blinking.
I saw that the Liaodong Army under the city had a clear division of labor, and some were responsible for manipulating ballistas and bed crossbows to carry out long-range strikes; Some are responsible for carrying ladders and pushing well railings; Others, with shields on their shoulders, climbed up the path cleared by the crossbowmen, with a very clear division of labor between them.
This scene fell in the eyes of the guard general Wang Zheng, and he couldn't help but secretly discuss: "I have heard the reputation of the Liaodong Army for a long time, and it is really the case today!" ”
"Knock knock!"
The fierce war drums sounded in the military formation, and the Liuxiang infantry slowly pressed forward with neat steps, and suddenly the four city gates of Zhending east, west, south, and north were fiercely attacked by the Liaodong army at the same time.
Not to be outdone, the defenders of the city quickly launched a counterattack.
The Liaodong Army's offensive was too violent, which put great pressure on Wang Zheng, and he was very worried that the defenders would not be able to hold out until reinforcements arrived.
In order to defend Zhending City, Wang Zheng did everything he could and personally commanded his subordinates to counterattack. The defenders of Qihu in the city were also desperate, and the dense rain of arrows continued to shoot at the Liaodong army besieging the city, and caused some casualties to the Liaodong army.
However, with the Liaodong army's bed crossbows and ballistas, the defenders in the city gradually became a little unable to resist, if it weren't for Yao Yizhong's department not coming to attack the city, I am afraid that Zhending City has already fallen.
But even this frightened the defenders in the city, and Wang Zhen was even more apprehensive, glad that reinforcements would arrive soon. Taking advantage of the gap between the siege of the Liaodong army, Wang Zheng gathered his subordinates together to discuss countermeasures.
Wang Zhen looked at his subordinates and said worriedly: "Everyone, you have all seen that the Liaodong army attacked the city extremely quickly, and most of the city walls were broken in a blink of an eye. Fortunately, everyone worked together to block the first wave of the Liaodong Army's offensive. However, in the future, everyone should not be careless, be careful and vigilant, and do not let the Liaodong Army succeed in a sneak attack. ”
"General, the Liaodong Army is too strong, we alone can't stop the other party, I don't know when the reinforcements will arrive?"
"Yes! General, when will the reinforcements arrive? This time we were lucky, and next time the last general would not have the confidence to block the offensive of the Liaodong Army again. ”
"General, the Liaodong Army has suffered a big loss just now, and it will definitely not be good at resting, and the Liaodong Army's offensive will only be more fierce next!"
"The Liaodong Army is strong, if the reinforcements can't arrive as soon as possible, our army is afraid that it will be difficult to hold it."
Facing the worried subordinates, although Wang Zheng was also worried that the city would not be able to hold it, he did not move the slightest expression on his face: "You can rest assured, the general has sent someone to rule General Zhixiong." I believe that it won't be long before the main force under General Zhi will reinforce Zhending. ”
When the guards heard this, they couldn't help but feel relieved.
……
In the county seat of Zhao Guoyuan's family, the main general Zhixiong was paying close attention to Zhending's every move, and learned that the 30,000 Liaodong Army had indeed appeared in Changshan County, and attacked Zhending City as Zhang Bin had 'expected' before, which suddenly made him excited.
Zhixiong had fought briefly with the Liaodong Army on the battlefield in Qingzhou, and he knew how powerful the Liaodong Army was! If it was a head-to-head duel, even if he commanded an army of 100,000, he would not have the confidence to defeat the frontal 30,000 Liaodong army.
But this time it was different, this time Zhixiong was awarded the important task by Shi Le, serving as the chief general on the Changshan battlefield, responsible for the total annihilation of the 30,000 Liaodong Army from the state. Seeing the Liaodong Army walking step by step into the 'trap' he had already arranged, Zhixiong couldn't help but be complacent.
"Humph! Now Lao Tzu can finally avenge the defeat of Qingzhou with one arrow! ”
Just as Zhixiong was muttering to himself, he saw a personal soldier rushing in.
Seeing that his soldiers were so reckless, Zhixiong frowned and reprimanded softly: "What is so flustered? ”
"General, there is an urgent report from Zhending, and the 30,000 Liaodong Army has successfully arrived under the city and launched a fierce attack on Zhending. General Wang was worried that the defenders would not last long, and asked the general to send troops to help quickly. ”
Zhixiong was shocked when he heard this: "What?! Is Wang Zheng a waste? How long has it been? Can't hold on so quickly? ”
After a pause, Zhixiong touched his chin and pondered. Originally, he had to wait until the Liaodong Army planted a head under Zhending City and broke the blood flow, and then he would lead the main force to clean up the mess. But now it seems that his wishful thinking is not working.
But even so, Zhixiong, who had an army of 100,000, did not take the 30,000 Liaodong Army in his eyes, and he would never be able to watch the Liaodong Army break through Zhending. Otherwise, not to mention that he would not be able to complete the task of gathering and annihilating the Liaodong Army, and he might even be divided by the angry Shile Wuma after the war.
"Go and bring the generals together, and they will have something important to consult with them." Zhixiong instructed his own soldiers.
After a while, the generals gathered in Zhixiong's room. Seeing that all the generals had arrived, Zhixiong said: "Generals, the main force of the Liaodong Army is attacking Zhending, and now Zhending City is in danger. The real gains and losses are related to the key to whether our army can complete the gathering and annihilation of the Liaodong Army, so it is imperative to save it. ”
"The general planned to attack in advance and immediately encircle and annihilate the Liaodong Army under Zhending City, what do the generals think?"
"The general's words are very good, our army has 100,000 troops, how can it be the enemy of 30,000 Liaodong Army?"
"That is, we will only wait for the general's order, and when the army rushes up, we will definitely be able to wipe out the Liaodong army under Zhending City."
Originally, Zhixiong was worried that the generals would not be willing to send troops too early, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the generals under his command shouted to teach the Liaodong Army a lesson. It is not to blame that the generals are rampant, it is really that the 100,000 army is like letting everyone eat the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and in the face of only 30,000 Liaodong troops, the courage of the generals of the Qianghu will naturally become fatter.
Although Zhixiong had the heart to warn the generals, he felt redundant when he thought that he had an army of 100,000. As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, no matter how strong the Liaodong Army is, how many nails can it hit with iron?
In the end, Zhi Xiongqin led a total of 90,000 troops to attack Yao Yizhong under Zhending City, trying to eliminate this group of Liaodong troops in one fell swoop.
"Good! Since everyone agreed to send troops, Ben General ordered: The army will set off immediately, and a decisive battle with the Liaodong Army will be fought three days later! ”
……
Three days later, Zhixiong led the army to finally reach the city of Zhending. At this time, the Liaodong Army was still surrounding Zhending and 'attacking' endlessly. Looking at the precarious Zhending City, the corners of Zhixiong's mouth showed a hint of pride, in his opinion, the tens of thousands of Liaodong troops in front of him could not escape the fate of being slaughtered by him no matter what.
Thinking of this, Zhixiong excitedly shouted: "Erlang, rush forward and kill the Liaodong Army!" ”
"Kill the Liaodong Army?" The Warrior shouted excitedly, as if cheering for the coming killing feast.
"Huh~ Reinforcements are finally here!"
Listening to the earth-shattering cheers outside the city, as well as the Liaodong army slowly retreating, Wang Zheng, the Zhending guard, finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he couldn't help but get excited, he turned his head and shouted at the people around him: "Everyone get ready, when General Zhixiong launches an attack, we will also go out of the city immediately to help the battle." ”
With the arrival of the Qihu reinforcements, the morale of the Hulu on the scene suddenly climbed to the peak. All the Hu Lu were full of confidence in the battle in front of them, and they did not realize that they had already fallen into the trap of the Liaodong army.
If someone observes carefully, they will find that Yao Yizhongbu, who is under siege, did not have a trace of panic, but instead showed a relieved look.
Under the command of Yao Yizhong, everyone quickly formed a circular defensive formation to resist the Qihu army besieging from all sides. (To be continued.) )
