Chapter 687: The Longest Night (4)
In literature, war is always bloody or a little romantic. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
However, in real wars, especially in the wars of the Cold Weapon Era, blood often represents cannon fodder and death.
On the battlefield, it is necessary to keep a cool head.
It's all about everything else, just to survive.
In this regard, Yang Shouwen, who had experienced the Battle of Changping, had the deepest experience. However, he didn't expect that Meng Kai was like going crazy, pushing Fei Wuman's offensive wave after wave. Those flying barbarians seemed to have no fear, and they were not afraid to attack Puci without fear of death. One wave of attacks was repulsed, and another wave followed.
After holding out for more than an hour, Fei Wuman finally began to ascend the city.
Fortunately, the number of barbarians who could enter the city was not large, and the defenders of Puci City, under the command of Yang Shouwen, relied on the Tu brothers to take the lead, and quickly drove the barbarians off the city. But even so, Puci's defenses were beginning to loosen a little.
Yang Shouwen's face darkened, and he was also secretly worried.
"Mole, send a signal and let Tu Shanhu attack from behind."
As he spoke, he held a gun in one hand and a corrugated gold mace in the other, and rushed into the gallop.
A brute climbed the city wall from the ladder, and before he could jump in, Yang Shouwen stepped forward and swung his hammer, smashing the brute's head.
"Don't panic, everyone, destroy the ladder first.
Big cat, you lead people to destroy the ladder, Tu Mountain Leopard, Tu Mountain Eagle, kill the enemy with me. β
The addition of Yang Shouwen made the defenders on the city suddenly feel uplifted.
He walked up the gallop and went up to help when he saw a situation that was tight. In this way, it did relieve a lot of pressure, so that the Puci defenders, who were originally a little flustered, gradually calmed down and stabilized their position.
Bang!
A firecracker exploded, turning into a ball of fireworks in the air.
With the appearance of fireworks, Fei Wuman was in the camp on the north bank of the river, and suddenly there was chaos.
Yang Jasmine, Tu Shanlong and Tu Shanlong, two brothers, Tu Shanlong and Tu Shanhu, with two hundred daredevils, suddenly appeared from behind and entered the camp.
It turned out that before Meng Kai's army arrived, Yang Shouwen was worried that Meng Kai would attack wildly.
So he secretly ordered Tu Shanlong and Tu Shanhu to take Yang Jasmine and two hundred daredevils to hide in the dense forest on the north bank of Anjushui, waiting for his signal.
This is also a matter of last resort, simple defense, in terms of the current situation in Puci County, I am afraid it will be very difficult. After all, Fei Wuman's strength was ten times that of Puci, and Yang Shouwen had to make some other arrangements.
Yang Shouwen vaguely remembered that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there was such a plot.
Cao Cao's troops entered Xuzhou, and LΓΌ Bu was trapped in Xiapi.
Chen Gong said to him: "Cao Cao is powerful, and it will be very difficult for us to defend Xiapi to the death." Wen Hou was brave and unparalleled, and led the cavalry to ambush outside the city. I will defend the city, and when the fierce battle is in full swing, the prince and the marquis will lead his troops to kill, and Cao Cao will be defeated. β
Yang Shouwen knows that there are too many fictional plots in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
But he felt that the situation that Lu Bu was facing at that time was very similar to the situation he was facing now. Of course, ten Meng Kai is not as good as one Cao Cao, and he is even less than Lu Bu, and his advantages are not comparable to Lu Bu.
So......
It's just that Yang Shouwen didn't expect that he would use his hole cards so quickly.
There is no way, Fei Wuman's attack is too fierce, almost not giving Puci County a chance to breathe, and it must be acted in advance.
The Feiwuman, stationed on the north shore, are mostly old, weak, sick and disabled in the tribe.
Its young and strong are almost all concentrated under the city of Puci, so there is no defense in the camp.
When Yang Jasmine and the three of them led their troops to rush into the camp, they were in a no-man's land. How could the flying barbarians in the camp resist such a fierce god as Yang Jasmine, and after only a little resistance, they were immediately defeated.
"Yang Jasmine, don't chase and kill again, that is the place where they store their baggage, come with me."
Before setting out on the expedition, Yang Shouwen repeatedly told Yang Jasmine that this operation should obey Tu Shanhu's arrangement.
Yang Jasmine was a little unhappy, because he felt that he was not happy enough to kill. However, he couldn't disobey Yang Shouwen's words, so after killing two more barbarians, he ran to Tu Shanhu's side angrily, "Big tiger, what should we do next?" β
"Burned their baggage, I don't believe that Meng Kai will not come back to extinguish the fire.
As long as he comes back to put out the fire, the pressure on Ah Lang's side will be reduced...... Hurry up, we must evacuate before the barbarians return. β
As Tu Shanhu spoke, he led Yang Jasmine to the place where the baggage was stacked.
Fei Wuman's baggage was all loaded on the car, Tu Shanlong had already taken someone to pour fire oil, seeing Yang Jasmine coming, he nodded to Tu Shanhu, and then picked up the torch and threw it on the baggage car.
The baggage cart burst into flames and spread rapidly.
"Jasmine Yang, let's go."
"Good!"
Yang Jasmine opened the way again, danced with double mallets, and fought out of the camp with the Tu brothers.
Behind them, flames continued to engulf the baggage vehicle, quickly turning into a sea of fire......
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"It's on fire, it's on fire in the camp!"
Meng Kai, who was supervising the battle on the south bank of Anju Water, heard a shout.
His face changed drastically, and he hurriedly turned to look at the other side of the river, and saw that the fire on the other side was soaring, almost illuminating the night sky for half the day.
"Not good!"
Seeing this, Meng Kai couldn't help but be shocked.
The camp was stocked with a large amount of grain and grass, and if it were burned, the whole tribe would probably fall apart.
However, the battle situation in Puci County ......
Seeing that his own side is gradually gaining the upper hand, if he withdraws his troops at this time, won't his previous achievements be wasted?
Meng Kai was also confused for a while, hesitating, and didn't know what to do.
At this time, Meng Huan stepped forward and said softly: "Father, you can't continue to attack like this, let's go and put out the fire first." β
"But ......"
"Father, how much do you think you have to attack Puci now?"
Meng Kai was silent!
After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Mingjin, collect the troops...... Meng Huan, you and Meng Fu take the rear army and go back to fight the fire first. β
The base camp has been copied, can Fei Wuman continue to fight?
You know, the families of those barbarian soldiers who are fighting in the front are all in the big camp, how can they still be in the mood to fight now?
Whether Meng Kai was willing or not, he knew that he had to stop attacking.
With the sound of a gong, the Flying Wu barbarians finally stopped their attack and retreated like a tide.
At the same time, Meng Huan and Meng Fu also rushed back to the camp with a thousand barbarian soldiers. Fortunately, this time, the Tang army only attacked and harassed, and quickly evacuated after burning the baggage, and those old, weak, sick and disabled who were resting in the camp could be regarded as saving their lives...... But even so, when Meng Huan saw the raging fire, he couldn't help but twitch his cheeks, and a trace of helplessness and bitterness appeared on his face.
"Fight the fire, put out the fire immediately!"
He commanded the brute soldiers behind him to put out the fire, and at the same time grabbed Meng Fu, who wanted to go up.
"Little Twelve, we're losing!"
"Huh?"
Seeing Meng Fu's confused face, Meng Huan said softly: "The chief general of the Tang Army is definitely a wise man.
His fire almost burned out our hopes. Next, the sons and daughters are afraid that they will no longer have the intention to continue to attack the county seat. β
"Why?"
Meng Huan pointed to the sea of fire in front of him and said softly: "Do you think that our grain and grass are heavy, how much is left after this fire?"
Previously, we had a lot of momentum, but we failed to take the county, and the sons are afraid that they are tired of it.
Now, this fire will make the sons and daughters resentful of their fathers. I failed to capture the county seat just now, and now I am afraid it is even more impossible. β
Meng Huan's words seemed a little confused.
But Meng Fu understood what he meant, and his heart couldn't help but become heavy.
"How's that to be?"
Meng Huan pondered for a moment and whispered in Meng Fu's ear, "With today's plan, my father can no longer convince the clansmen, and if he continues to attack Puci, the resentment of the clansmen will inevitably be heavier." Moreover, these women and children are old and weak, and it is a burden to carry them with them after all. I mean, let's go see my father at once, and advise him to take his young man and leave immediately.
We marched east along the Anju water overnight and attacked the county seat of Anju.
After the capture of Anju, we replenished enough food and grass, and quickly moved south, trying to join up with the reinforcements of the barbarian army......
As long as we have soldiers and horses in our hands, we can have a place to live in Annam.
If we become a loner in the end, it is the same thing as whether the barbarian will accept us again, that is, if we accept it, we may not have a good face. β
"But our people ......"
Meng Huan showed a look of pain, but soon, he was ruthless.
"A strong man breaks his wrist, and he has to do it as a last resort.
If a father wants to make a comeback, he cannot have the kindness of a woman...... This is also the only way for us at present.
The Tang people are known for their benevolence, and if the tribesmen are captured by them, there is no way to live.
But if you continue to be with us, I'm afraid that the Feiwu Man's bloodline will not survive. β
When Meng Fu heard this, he thought it was true.
He has always respected Meng Huan, although he is not obedient, but he can listen to Meng Huan's words.
"Then let's ...... now."
"I'm here to put out the fire, you go to the other brothers now, and then jointly persuade your father.
Otherwise, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to make my father change his mind. Without further ado, you should contact the others. β
"But what if my father won't listen?"
Meng Huan's eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
He took a deep breath, looked at Meng Fu and smiled, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, at this time, my father will definitely be able to listen." β
Meng Fu no longer hesitated, turned the horse's head, and went to discuss with the other brothers.
Meng Huan, on the other hand, looked at the sea of fire in front of him and sighed softly, "I have said a long time ago that the strength of the Tang people is strong, and it is definitely not something we can shake, but you don't listen to my persuasion, but you have to believe the nonsense of those Annan barbarians." If the words of the Annamite barbarians could be believed, why should they act like ground rats? Father, father, you are destroying the whole Feiwu barbarian...... You say, what should I do? What can I do to save these people? β
Speaking of this, Meng Huan sighed and stood in a daze......
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It's over!
It's finally over......
Yang Shouwen stood at the head of the city, covered in blood.
The Black Iron Spear had been discarded by him just now, replaced by an iron shield.
At this moment, he held a wedge in one hand and threw the shield bell to the ground with a thud. At the head of the city, there was already a river of blood, and the shield fell to the ground, splashing blood everywhere.
Yang Shouwen leaned against the city wall, looked at the raging fire in the distance, and suddenly laughed.
I didn't expect that I also had a time when I was strategizing and calculating like a god?
"Li Jun, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm wondering, what will Meng Kai do next?"
Huan Daochen was stunned for a moment and walked to Yang Shouwen's side.
However, he stepped back half a body slightly, and on the surface, it was a kind of respect for Yang Shouwen.
But in fact, he himself understood that from this moment on, he had already made up his mind.
"Li Jun's clever plan is to settle the world, and I thought it was a pity to separate those many people outside the city.
Now it seems that Li Jun has already planned...... This fire comes down, I'm afraid that half of Fei Wuman's vitality will be injured. β
Yang Shouwen said: "Yes, even if Meng Kai continues to attack the city next, it will be difficult to have the previous effect."
Yang Jasmine, they are doing very well, and when I go back to Luoyang, I will ask for credit for them...... I'm finally a lot more relaxed now. β
Behind him, there was a sound of footsteps.
Su Laolai's father and son, as well as the two brothers of the Tu family, all came over and stood behind Yang Shouwen, looking at the fire on the other side of the river. Everyone, including the surviving soldiers, breathed a sigh of relief, and a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe was born in their hearts.
I have to say that the pressure on Fei Wuman just now was too great.
The barbarians were not afraid of death, causing a lot of losses to the Puci defenders, with more than 300 dead and wounded, most of whom were Puci people.
"Li Jun, will the barbarian come again?"
Su Mo'er looked at the flying barbarians who had retreated, and couldn't help but ask.
Yang Shouwen turned around and glanced at him, then shook his head and said softly: "I don't know either!" But even if they come back, there's no need to be nervous.
The most difficult time has passed, and I believe that those barbarians are no longer able to continue ......"
As he spoke, he glanced up at the night sky.
It's past time!
Yang Shouwen suddenly let out a sigh of relief, looked out of the city again, and muttered to himself: "This night is really long!" (To be continued.) )
