Chapter 368: Cutting off the enemy's rear route
readx; Zhang Gui is a veteran of the battlefield for a long time, and when he heard Wei Hong's remarks, Zhang Gui immediately understood what Wei Hong wanted to do. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info immediately followed Wei Hong's instructions and sent out all the 500 soldiers at the back city gate. Once you find a place where the enemy is hiding their horses, gather and slaughter them! This plan is intended to disrupt the enemy's rear, cut off the enemy's rear route, and make the enemy have no choice but to come to the rescue, which can solve the urgent need of Liangzhou.
But finding the enemy horses is not a simple task and will take a long time. During this time, how to resist the onslaught of the Tuyuhun vanguard army was a difficult problem! Just when Wei Hong was thinking about it, Sun Changqing's eyes suddenly lit up, pulled Wei Hong's sleeve, and said excitedly: "Sir, why don't we adopt the tactics of the Golden Mountain to suppress the top of the Horsehair Mountain?" ”
Wei Hong unceremoniously rejected Sun Changqing's proposal, and said bluntly: "It's the middle of the night now, how can we gather a sufficient number of people in a short period of time?" By the time the people gathered, the city gates had already been breached, and this plan was not advisable! ”
"What then?" Sun Changqing frowned and said deflated.
Wei Hong's brows were tightly locked, he was very impatient in his heart, he really hated Sun Changqing. Zhang Gui on the other side seemed to see Wei Hong's difficulty, and immediately hugged his fist at Sun Changqing and said: "My lord, this place is dangerous, it is better for you to go back to the mansion and wait, once there is news, I will report to the lord as soon as possible." ”
In the past, when there was a war in Liangzhou City, there were special commanders, marshals, marching chiefs and the like, and Sun Changqing was not needed to supervise the war here. In addition, although Sun Changqing is a history of assassination, in this era, the history of assassination is not as powerful as before. In particular, Comrade Lao Li stopped the hereditary assassination of history, and the power of assassination history was greatly weakened. Sun Changqing's greatest authority, that is, to mobilize the soldiers and horses in the city, even if he wants to manage it, he is not qualified. Sun Changqing also asked for the surname to ignore the war, and only cared about his leisure and elegance. This time, Tuyuhun attacked Liangzhou City at night, and Wei Zheng, who came here to fight, was still on the way, and Sun Changqing could only go into battle in person. However, he has no experience at all, and Sun Changqing is a good reader of poetry and books, and knows many examples of rude battles caused by unconscious commands, so Sun Changqing does not dare to command blindly.
At this time, hearing Zhang Gui's words, Sun Changqing also realized that he was purely adding chaos here, and it was useless at all. So he saluted Wei Hong and retreated.
As soon as Sun Changqing left, Wei Hong immediately felt that his head was much clearer, and his thinking strategy was twice as effective with half the effort. After a while, Wei Hong had a plan and said to Zhang Guiyan: "Commander Zhang, until now, I haven't seen the enemy's ladder. Presumably, the enemy army is taking local materials and making ladders on the spot. In this way, the walls are absolutely safe and secure, and you only need to defend the gates with all your might! ”
Seeing that Wei Hong said so confidently, Zhang Gui seemed to be also infected, and said confidently: "Sir, what do you say to do?" ”
Wei Hong said without thinking: "You only need to keep the number of three hundred soldiers on the city wall all the time, and if there is less, you can replenish it upwards, and if you have more, you will retreat." The rest of the soldiers were withdrawn to the city, except above the gates, and I didn't want to see any soldiers wandering around the walls! Of the three hundred soldiers, two hundred archers and fifty shield soldiers were left. The remaining fifty men waited for the time being, and let the soldiers in the city collect some hot oil and give it to the remaining fifty soldiers. When the enemy attacks the city gate, first use the archers to block it, and if the enemy has too many shields, pour hot oil on it! Send some more soldiers to reinforce from inside the city gates! Just drag the 500 cavalry to find a local war horse! ”
After Zhang Gui listened, he stroked his beard with one hand, grinned, and said with a smile at Wei Hong: "Mr. is really a genius!" After that, Zhang Gui followed Wei Hong's instructions to pass the order. In a short time, there were only 300 soldiers left above the city gates. In addition to Zhang Gui who needed to stay on the city wall to command, Wei Hong and Yijian Donglai also removed the city wall.
The Tuyuhun soldiers, who were slamming the gate, were overturned on their backs by the 200 archers on the city gate, and the siege of the city gate was forced to stop. In a short time, the enemy army with a huge shield arrived, and under the cover of the shield soldiers, the enemy troops again began to pound the city gates. Dense arrows shot at the giant shield, making a tinkling sound. With the exception of the occasional chance of burrowing through the gaps between the shields, the rest of the arrows were almost all waste.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Gui immediately shouted at the fifty soldiers who had been hiding behind: "Quick! Oiled me up! ”
Fifty soldiers were ordered to pour the hot oil that had been burning from the pot into the barrel. Then he carried the hot wooden barrels above the city gate and threw the barrels of hot oil down. The shield can defend against bows and arrows, as long as it is not too large a stone, but in the face of hot oil like a downpour, the shield becomes a chicken rib and is useless. The barrel was thrown from the city wall, accelerated by gravity, fell on the shield, and was torn apart in an instant. The hot oil flowed through the gaps in the shield, making the soldiers inside cry wolf. The hot oil alone scalded most of the enemy troops, and even a few were directly fried by the hot oil. And when the enemy's shield guards disorganized their formation, exposing the enemy troops carrying the crashing wood, the archers fired another volley. In the blink of an eye, there was a mountain of bones at the city gate, and no one survived.
Riding on a high-headed war horse, the Tuyuhun general, who had a big body and a round waist, saw that the city gate could not be attacked for a long time, and shouted at the deputy general in a hurry: "When will the ladder be built?" ”
As soon as the words fell, before the adjutant general could answer, dozens of soldiers arrived first, carrying four ladders. Seeing the cloud ladder, the Tuyuhun general breathed a sigh of relief, pulled out the saber on his waist, and waved the tip of the knife at Liangzhou City and shouted: "Attack me!" ”
In fact, since the beginning of the war, more than ninety percent of the Tuyuhun soldiers have rested in place, and only a few are attacking the city gates. After all, the city gate is narrow, and it is useless to go more, but to add some casualties. At this time, as soon as the cloud ladder arrived, the entire Tuyuhun vanguard army rushed up.
Zhang Gui, who was on the city wall, saw the black oppressive Tuyuhun vanguard roaring towards him, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and hurriedly ran to the inside of the city wall. Standing on the city wall, he gestured his hand to the shape of a loudspeaker, and shouted at Wei Hong under the city wall: "Sir, the enemy's ladder has been built!" The army is coming! ”
Wei Hong, who had been waiting, immediately shouted at the soldiers around him who were recuperating: "Go to the city wall and face the battle!" ”
As soon as Wei Hong's voice fell, 1,200 soldiers under the city wall rushed up to the city wall in a hula. After a while, everyone took their positions, their bows and arrows in their hands were drawn into a full circle, and 1,200 sharp arrows were aimed at the Tuyuhun army that was getting closer and closer. When the Tuyuhun army entered the firing range, 1,200 arrows rose into the air at the same time like a swarm of locusts and swept towards the Tuyuhun army. (To be continued.) )
