Chapter 23 Message
And with the appearance of artillery carriages in Pingzhou City, this time the siege of Zhang Yang's army finally ended in failure again.
Of course, it is not that a few simple artillery trucks are so powerful, and they directly scared their army away, that is, after Zhang Yang reacted from the initial distraction, he immediately found that although the catapult was powerful, there were not many of them, and it took a certain amount of time to prepare for launch, so it can be said that the deterrence is far greater than the practicality, and the shortcomings are even more obvious.
But at this time, after the shocking appearance of the catapult gave Zhang Yangjun a huge impact visually and psychologically, and shook their military hearts, their own ladder was also out of the basket at this time.
The reason why those ladders can be nailed to the ice is because the craftsmen in Zhang Yang's army tied something similar to a barb to the position where the ladder came into contact with the ice when the ladder was up, which was just able to pierce into the ice and then fix it, but at this time, the ice suddenly burst open one by one with the breaking sound of "Zizi", and the focus of the natural ladder itself was lost, and as a result, the ladders that had nowhere to attach fell backwards one by one, not only the ladder itself was destroyed, but the soldiers on it were not spared. In a panic and screams, the soldiers who had already climbed the city tower in front could not retreat, they could only be surrounded and killed by Lu Bu's army on the city tower, unwilling to die, and the soldiers behind could not and did not dare to climb up again, it was undoubtedly a dead end.
So in this way, this huge wave of attacks turned out to be so anticlimactic in the end.
And this is still completely bad news for Zhang Yangjun, because the bursting of the ice is not the shattering of the ice wall on the front, but only the part hooked by the barbs on the ladder is broken, which also proves from the side that this road will not go through in the end, whether it is Zhang Yang or those sergeants definitely don't want to do it again, so in the end, they can only leave the corpses and the remains of the ladder, and retreat again.
On that battlefield, there was no one else at this time except for the sappers on both sides who were cleaning the battlefield, and the red blood and white snow were still intertwined, and there was an inexplicable strangeness in the blowing of the north wind.
Another wave of attacks was routed. The morale of the Zhang Yang army, who returned to the barracks, had fallen to its lowest point. Even Zhang Yang himself began to doubt whether the decision he made was right or wrong.
But if he wants to retreat back to Taiyuan like this, he is a little unwilling, after all, Pingzhou City is close at hand at this moment, and Lu Bu is inside, and now he only has no more than 2,000 soldiers and horses around him, and if he wants to get rid of him, this is undoubtedly the best opportunity for Zhang Yang. If you miss it, if you lose it, you won't have it again.
But Pingzhou, a small city that was nothing at all in Zhang Yang's eyes, became the biggest barrier preventing him from achieving his wish at the moment, and he didn't know if it was too much anger and fatigue, as well as the impact of climate invasion in this ice and snow, Zhang Yang, who returned to the camp, caught a cold that night, and fell ill on the bed. Seventeen thousand troops are just going to work here.
Seeing that the days have passed like this, the stalemate outside Pingzhou City is still continuing, and Zhang Yang's illness is also continuing.
Two days later, in the morning, Zhang Yang had already woken up, although he still felt a little tired, he did not return to the couch, but sat by the fire to warm his hands, thinking about the siege of the city.
At this time, there was a bulletin outside the tent. Zhang Yang called "Come in". I saw a figure open the tent and hurriedly walked in, and said, "The general is not good......
Zhang Yang suddenly jumped up with an "ah", and looked at the herald with great eagerness in his eyes. The fiery herald was also stunned, he had never seen Zhang Yang like this, not to mention that Zhang Yang should still be sick at this time, which made him feel unimaginable.
However, I think about it as a self-comforting thought, it should be that the general is always paying attention to the war, worrying about the war not going well, so he is sick, and now he is so excited because of this, and then he thinks of the military information he received, but his heart is sinking, in fact, he is a little reluctant to disturb the general at this time, but it is a pity......
He sighed, and after saluting, he still spoke: "The general is not good, at this time, I just received news from Jinyang City, General Yang Chou is like us asking for help, it is said to be, it is said to be ......" He looked at Zhang Yang, whose eyes suddenly sharpened, and continued with a hard head: "It is said that Jinyang City is now surrounded by a team under the banner of the Bingzhou Army, and the leading general is a strange face, and their number is roughly estimated to be no less than 10,000 people." ”
As soon as he heard what the herald said, Zhang Yang suddenly stood up, his pupils widened, and his face was extremely hideous, this unprecedented look almost frightened the herald, and then the herald saw him trembling and stretched out his hand, just wanted to go over and hold on, but Zhang Yang suddenly "wow" A mouthful of blood spurted out, splashing the herald's face, and then saw him fall backwards like this.
……
Early in the morning of this day, Lu Bu went to inspect the city tower, and there was still no movement in Zhang Yang's military camp, as if there was no one in it at the moment, if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't find any clues that the other party had left, and from time to time someone would come out to patrol in shifts, Lu Bu would have thought that Zhang Yang had just left here.
And by the time he returned to the county office, it was already afternoon.
He hasn't rested much in the past few days, not for this Zhang Yang's siege, although it can't be said that he will be at ease after having that ice wall, but looking at the effect last time, Zhang Yang's siege is undoubtedly very unsmooth, although at this time Pingzhou City is still trapped, and Zhang Yang now has 16,700 soldiers outside to fight, and the danger has not been lifted, but Lu Bu is just to drag Zhang Yang, and he has never thought about defeating him or breaking out of the siege by relying on this small city, so the current Qiē is in accordance with his plan, but the news over there has not yet arrived, which makes him somewhat uneasy.
Although I told myself not to be in a hurry, I still couldn't help but think of that side from time to time, and carefully calculated the time, it was already the sixth or seventh day since they left, even if they took a detour, the distance between here and there was not so far, and there would not be too difficult barriers in between, could it be that they hadn't reached their destination yet?
Lu Bu rubbed his temples, and felt that he was too preoccupied, but also, since he decided to leave Luoyang and even broke with Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu has always been very nervous, because from that time on, it means that he will always be in various possible dangers in the future, compared to the original time in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo as a shield, now he will face these threats.
He is not afraid of these, but he should have said that he knows history very well, and can almost predict the fate of various people and the development of some things at this time, but now his participation is equivalent to messing up everything, "history" is no longer the history he is familiar with, and he does not have the biggest advantage that is foresight, and he will feel a little confused and faintly flustered.
To put it bluntly, although he has completely fused with his body, and has also fused a part of his soul, and he already has a "potential" that belongs to him and is different from the original Lu Bu, but psychologically, he is not strong enough.
I took a few deep breaths and adjusted my feelings slightly, no matter what my previous life was, what kind of soul I was in my body, but now my identity is the chief general of an army, or even a prince, anyone can feel confused, but I can't. (To be continued.) )
