Chapter 62: Uncle Xiaoguo
"Hey, hey, hey!"
With the sound of a trumpet, when the light siege equipment such as the ladder had arrived at the city, the second batch of rushing cars and cloud towers were dispatched again.
In a big battle in the morning, the dozens of large siege equipment were basically destroyed by the Goguryeo people who defended the city. However, for the Sui army, it was nothing more than destroying a batch of siege equipment. For today's big battle, they have been preparing for a month, and they have not taken out large equipment to attack the city before, just to concentrate the number.
After the large formation of the infantry, all the components of various large siege equipment have been transported, as long as they are assembled one by one in front of the formation, it is a large machine. These mountain-like components, at a rate of consumption like the morning, were enough to sustain a major battle for several days.
Next to the advancing rushing car, Shu Bao and his comrades from the same squad were pushing the rushing car hard, although they had been fighting all morning in the morning, but for these Xiaoguo, this was nothing at all. They were originally the best soldiers among the elite soldiers, and they had only fought a morning siege battle, and they still had strength, but not to mention that they had rested for a while just now. After eating and drinking, it is even more energetic at this time.
In the morning, Shubao's team can be said to have rushed forward with a strong desire to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. In the end, however, they were unlucky, and when they were only a few feet away from the city wall, they were destroyed by a boulder falling from the city. As a result, for the whole morning, they could only stand on the charging cart with bows and arrows and shoot at the enemy at the head of the city, although they also shot down many of the defenders. But this result clearly made them a little unhappy. No matter how many they kill, they won't be able to say clearly. They all had the idea of rushing to the city wall, and they all fantasized about becoming Shen Guang's second.
Shu Bao is only nineteen years old, but he is very prestigious in this team at this time. Originally, Shen Guang was the team leader, he was the deputy team leader, and after Shen Guang was promoted, this group of people took him as the team leader. But although he is the captain, the captain is not of the grade. Every time Shubao thinks about his life as a child, and then thinks about the current family downfall, he can't help but feel a little lost. Now that the Great Sui Dynasty is fighting in the east and west, this Goguryeo is the last barbarian state that refuses to surrender.
If he wants to revive his family business, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, of course, he knows that only military merit is the fastest. Now Liaodong is about to be breached, and if he can't make meritorious contributions, maybe he won't have much chance in the future.
Thinking of this, Shu Bao said loudly, "The big guys are all paying attention to the Liao dogs in the city, don't let those tens of millions smash the wheels." When the people go up to the city one by one, we will go down there and give them arrows to cover them, what is the matter? You want to, but I don't. The big man is a man, and he should go to the city to fight with a real gun, in case we are lucky, we can make a meritorious contribution if we kill a building owner or something. I have heard that the lord of this city is the younger brother of the king of the Liao people. The last time the sailor came to protect the general, it was folded in his hand, in case we are lucky and take him down, not to mention being like Chen Pojun, at least he can be sealed from the fifth grade like Lao Shen. ”
Everyone on the side hurriedly echoed loudly, "Only those who have no eggs are willing to shrink under the city, seeking wealth and danger, if we want to be promoted and make a fortune, we still have to go to the city." The brothers are all optimistic, and they have taken care of the rushing car, and it is up to him to get promoted and make a fortune. "In addition to Shubao's group, there are four groups of soldiers in this rushing car, but they happen to be in a team.
The team was a bearded man in his forties, and said with a smile, "A few little rabbit cubs, their hearts are quite big." I'm not afraid of choking to death, you think it's so easy to get promoted and get rich. Lao Tzu has been in the army for 20 years, and now he is just a team, according to what you said, Lao Tzu has to be a general of the third grade now. ”
Shu Bao said with a smile while pushing the rushing car, "That's my lord, you didn't have a good opportunity, but now it's a good opportunity, Your Majesty is watching the battle in person from behind." The last time he crossed the Liao River, His Majesty saw General Chen Pojun's outstanding performance when he was watching the battle, so he was selected as the general of Yingyanglang. And just last time, wasn't Shen Guang promoted to the general of Wu Yonglang from the fifth rank because His Majesty saw him brave when he watched the battle. If His Majesty hadn't seen it, how could they have been promoted so high all of a sudden. Now that such an opportunity has come again, as long as we perform well, are we afraid that Your Majesty will not reward it? Maybe you will become a member of the five grades in a blink of an eye, and you won't be able to forget us then. ”
The team was overjoyed by Shu Bao's words, and their smiling mouths were grinning, "Okay, you Qin Qiong, you can really speak, so I will borrow your auspicious words, and if Lao Tzu is really promoted and made a fortune, he will definitely not forget you." After a while, everyone will give me a good performance, remember to capture the city head when the time comes, and cut off the head of the Liao dog more, this first-level skill is very heavy. "The military exploits of the generals depend on what role they played in the war, for example, some successfully covered the retreat of the troops, or successfully blocked the enemy, so the military exploits of the generals are comprehensively reviewed.
But for the big-headed soldiers, cutting off the enemy's head to repay the merit is the simplest and most practical. Whoever cuts off the most heads in wartime will definitely take the most credit.
Another Xiaoguo also hurriedly said, "I think the Liao dogs are going to be unable to defend, in the morning when we pushed the cart all the way over, there were bows and arrows and stone bullets, and now we are almost under the city, and the defenders are just sparsely shooting a few arrows, I don't think we will use this rush to shoot their female wall for a while." After a while, when we arrived at the bottom of the city, we rushed up to the city along the thick pole of the rushing cart. This was what the men under Master Zhang did in the morning, when they almost captured a piece of the city. We are not government soldiers, we are the fruit of the left body, it can't be worse than them. As long as we occupy a piece of the city, when the time comes, the others behind us will follow, and we may be able to break the city in one fell swoop. Such a great merit, in terms of meritorious deeds, how can it be less than ours. ”
Team leader Wang Da Niu's eyes lit up, and he patted Na Xiaoguo's shoulder heavily, "Good boy, you are the most treacherous and lazy on weekdays, but I didn't expect that when the time came, it would be able to start a role." This attention is good, we are all first-class men, and we usually get more salaries than those government soldiers, so we naturally have to show our hands when we are healthy. So it was decided, and after a while, when the opportunity was spotted, everyone followed me up and rushed to the city. Whoever did not dare to go without eggs was left behind to cover with bows and arrows under the city. ”
Wang Da Niu was excited, and immediately all the people in the team patted their chests and said that they wanted to go to the city, and they were not willing to stay. These heroes are all brave men in various armies, and in the face of such a meritorious opportunity at this time, who is willing to let it go.
With excitement, this team of Xiaoguo desperately pushed the rushing car, and kept dodging the arrows shot from the city along the way, although there were many casualties of the attacking infantry along the way, but fortunately, although their team had to push the rushing car, let them slow down. But also with the help of the huge rushing car, their team stepped all the way through the corpses of their comrades, but there were no casualties.
When this group arrived at the city, the other soldiers were also as eager to make meritorious contributions as them, and they all forgot their lives to climb the ladder and rush to the city wall one after another. They turned a blind eye to the comrades around them who kept falling down the ladder, and none of them were afraid of it.
The drums rumbled, the horns sounded, and in front of the Sui army's formation, all the Sui army's military bands lined up, and hundreds of cowhide drums made a passionate sound, which covered up the endless screams and wails on the battlefield.
Rows of rushing carts and flying towers were pushed under the city wall, and all the soldiers began to climb up with their shields. Someone kept falling from above, but there were still soldiers who continued to climb up like ants.
Shubao's team also began to climb towards the rushing car, holding shields against the feathered arrows flying in the sky, desperately crawling, and after a while, they rushed to the roof platform, where there was originally a team of people, but at this time there were less than half left. The rest of them all held wooden poles and spears nearly two zhang long and desperately stabbed at the defenders at the head of the city.
At this time, there were not many well-trained defenders in Liaodong City, most of them were some people who had only trained for more than a month at the time of the siege, and even these people were mostly old and young people at this time. In the face of these elite Sui troops, people were constantly pierced by spears, and blood gushed to the ground.
Although the Sui army at the end of the rush was well-trained, they were on the top platform of the rushing car dozens of zhang high, and there was not much place for them to dodge. In addition to the team of shield soldiers in front of him who could block some arrows, they could only bear the various attacks of the famous people in the city. The Goguryeo people couldn't stab them with their spears, but when the Goguryeo trebuchets threw stones up and rushed out, they had no choice but to be stoned to death. Fortunately, as long as the trebuchet of the Goguryeo people is pulled up, it will basically not be long before it will be taken care of by the trebuchets in the Sui army under the city. If you can't throw it a few times, you will be smashed into a pile of tatters by the trebuchet of the Sui army.
Qin Qiong and a team of fifty people climbed up and rushed out of the top floor, and everyone did not go to get the spear on the side, but put the horizontal knife in the mouth, threw down the shield, and began to climb along the thick pole to the opposite city wall. Qin Qiong took the lead, and none of the Xiaoguo of that team hesitated, and they all followed closely behind Shubao.
When the rest and the pikemen saw that these new soldiers were so brave, they were also impressed for a while, and let out a shout, holding their spears in their hands, and once again neatly stabbed at the defenders at the head of the other city. Qin Qiong clenched the long knife in his mouth, climbed on the thick pole with his hands and feet, in front of him was a Liao man with a knife and a spear, and under his feet, it was more than ten zhang high on the ground, at this time, in addition to the Mingguang armor on his body, he had no protection at all, followed by a group of comrades, if he couldn't rush to the city, then he couldn't go up to the sky, he couldn't go down, and he couldn't retreat, only forward, forward!
The last chapter of this month, this first volume is coming to an end, and the great era is coming to an end, and from then on it will be Chen Kefu's battle
