Three hundred and ninety-six bloody battles in eternal peace
The news of Pang Xi's surrender to Wu from Shu County spread far and wide, and Chen Zhi of Yong'an was even more on pins and needles. In the past, this Wu army, the clothes and armor were tattered, but after the support of Shu County, this He Qi Department was different, and the troops who killed all the way to Shu County in Nanzhong were not idle, so they wanted to go back to Chengdu and destroy the enemy army together with the garrison of Sword Pavilion, but they never thought that Feng Xi's front foot would not be able to walk for three days, and at this time Qiao Ren arrived.
In the summer of the sixth year of Jianwu, 40,000 Wu troops drawn from the eastern front went up the Shuojiang River and attacked Yong'an, with great momentum. Qiao Ren rarely led the troops, and this time he did not personally supervise the battle, but took the veteran Han Dang as the governor of the city, and the Zhonglang general of the An army as the auxiliary, and supervised the eight thousand soldiers of the rear army to pull out the city day after day.
dragged the blessing of the Yangtze River, the siege equipment of the Wu army was transported from Hefei in one piece, and for a time the Yong'an outside the city was full of rushing cars and ladders, and even the return cannon was also transported several times, and the boulders were smashed day and night, making the people in the city panic. However, Chen Zhi is also the founder of Baihao's elite soldiers after all, and his ability to train soldiers is quite strong, and in this case, he fought to the death for three days in a row, defeating wave after wave of Wu army.
"Kill !!"
Outside the city wall, countless rushing cars slowly approached, the ground and the boulders scattered on the city wall all showed the power of the return cannon, and the Han soldiers with tattered armor and bloodstains, or holding crossbows or holding halberds, were difficult to block the pace of the Wu army's siege.
"Governor!! The Wu army is attacking too fiercely, isn't it time to go to the reserves.!! A Han army with a tooth general looked at Chen Zhi, the governor of Yong'an, and asked for instructions.
Chen Zhi's clothes and armor were already stained with blood, and the long sword in his hand had also cut out a lot of gaps, and the city wall was blocked by Wu Jun every moment to break through the layers of blockades and kill the city wall. However, the Tiger Wing Army is the elite of the central state of Wu, and the Wu Dao Mingguang armor is well-equipped. Even Chen Dao's long sword was broken several times, not to mention the other soldiers.
Looking at the Han army, which was gradually declining, Chen Zhi gritted his silver teeth: "Tell Zhang Wei to bring the reserves up!" I'm afraid today is the key, if you can survive the next few days, you can still breathe for a few days, if not????"
The tooth general naturally understood what Chen Zhi meant, and after biting the molars, he pulled out the ring knife on his waist, and said: "Don't worry, the last general Fu Wei and his 1,000 soldiers will fight to the death and will not retreat!" Brothers, drive Wu Dog down!! ”
Chen Zhi looked at Fu Wei and the others who were going away with a determination to die in front of him, and his face was cold. said to the guards beside him: "Ask Zhang Wei to lead the team up!" Even if he dies in battle, it is not better than Wu Gou!! “
"!!"
The fighting on the city wall continues, and every moment there are Wu troops or Han soldiers who are killed, and the Han army who are determined to die, even if they are swords and guns, know that the Ming Guang armor of the Wu people is strong. It is to roll down the wall with the enemy in his arms.
Zhang Wei's reserve team is still effective, although there are only 1,000 people, but they are recuperating. And it's the elite. The sudden attack in this kind of wrestling situation undoubtedly injected a shot of strength into the Han army that was about to collapse. There were not many Wu troops killed at the head of the city, and Chen Zhi and Zhang Wei took the elite soldiers to cover up and kill for a while, and finally cleared the Wu army at the head of the city.
However, this is not good news, because once there are no soldiers of their own side at the head of the city, the crossbowmen of the Wu army on the charging car will inevitably be covered with a rain of arrows to cover the new batch of Wu soldiers to attack the city.
This is the experience that Chen has summed up in the past few days. Wu Guofu bows and arrows poured out as if they didn't want money, and the Han soldiers who were shot by arrows on the first day were 800 people, which is not a small number, you must know that the total number of Shu troops in the city is only 5,000 people.
But something is clearly unusual today. Seeing that no arrows were fired, Zhang Wei, who had raised his shield, asked Chen Zhi with a blank expression, "General, what is the situation!! “
And Chen Zhi had already let the guards put down the big shield, looked into the distance, and watched the Wu soldiers gradually retreat, and did not speak. At this time, Zhang Wei also noticed that the Wu army began to retreat, glanced at the sky again, and found that it was only noon, and his brows furrowed and he had a premonition of uneasiness in his heart.
"General, it's just after noon, why did the Wu army retreat. Could it be that there were too many casualties and the army was unstable, no, the siege force of the Wu army had a full 8,000 people. Zhang Wei was puzzled.
Chen Zhi's gaze finally fixed on the hillside in the distance, sighed secretly, and explained: "This is not a retreat, it is a whole army!! You see!!! That flag is a head taller than Han Dang's flag, and it has silver edges on a white background, and the literal inlaid with gold is afraid that a boss has arrived. Boqi will take a look at the governor for him, which Wu is coming!! ”
Zhang Wei looked in the direction that Chen Zhi pointed to, and happened to see a group of tall Wu soldiers in dazzling bright light armor guarding a general in gold armor and purple robes, and slowly walked towards the drum platform where Han Dang was overseeing the battle. Behind him, the three hardcover Wu military captains looked like people, carrying three big flags, and the majesty of the white background and silver edges, there is no need to guess that the level must be very high.
Before Zhang Wei could see clearly, bursts of cheers came from the Wu army formation, and then in the distance as far as the eye could see, the Wu army full of mountains and wilderness formed a long snake formation outside the city under the leadership of the generals and colonels, but what was even more shocking was that countless return cannons were pushed up!!
"Victory!! Win!!! "Great Wu is mighty! Great Wu Mighty !! ”
The sound shook the sky, and the belief that the Wu army would win provoked the tired birds to fly all over the forest, and even the gravel at the head of the city seemed to sense the enemy's morale and began to tremble.
"It's Qiao Ren!!" Zhang Wei pointed to the three battle flags and shouted, "It's Lujiang Qiaoren!!! ”
The three flags are inlaid with gold, and they are written with Hanyang Wang Qiao, the leading general Qiao, and the great Sima Qiao, and these three identities all point directly to the same person????? Qiao Ren.
"Sure enough!! I can't be good today!! Chen Zhi tidied up his battle robe, pointed his sword at the sky and shouted: "All the troops obey the order, immediately strengthen the city defenses, and arrange traps." Embattled!!! ”
"!!!"
Sure enough, half an hour later, 30 return guns took the lead in attacking, and the overwhelming boulders rushed in, and the city walls, city gates, including the houses in the city, left traces of potholes under the blow of the stones. Chengtou Mountain, the clumps of rotten flesh are disgusting, who would have thought that this clump of flesh was still a fresh life a quarter of an hour ago.
The short bombardment has passed, but many Shu troops are still immersed in a huge panic, and Chen Zhi and other generals have to be calm and composed, organize soldiers to start arranging, generally speaking, after the boulder, it is the time for the siege equipment such as the rush to advance, although several rushing cars under the city have been burned, but there is no guarantee that the Wu army has no reserves, after all, the Wu army is prepared this time.
In the large array of the Wu army, one after another huge well carts began to move heavily towards Yong'an City. These wells have just been transported from Jiangling with a team of thousands of people, heavy and clumsy, the top of the well car is two and a half people higher than Yong'an City, so that Wu soldiers can sit on the roof of the Jing'an car and be condescending to the Shu army on Yong'an City, this arrow rain is much more powerful than the upward shooting of the rushing car.
This is Qiao Ren's killer feature, nineteen wells, enough for the Shu soldiers to drink a pot.
"Prepare the rocket!" Fu Wei felt a headache when he saw these big wooden guys, as long as this thing was stirred in, those who climbed the ladder would have the support of bows and arrows, and the Shu soldiers had to distract themselves from the well and the ladder climbers. Many Shu soldiers who were struggling to throw wood under the city were exposed to the attack of the wells, and the casualties increased greatly. Some of the Shu soldiers who were hit by the arrows still fought to the death with the Wu soldiers until they died with the Wu soldiers.
Fu Wei was anxious, if he didn't kill those well cars, Wu Jun would really attack the city wall 'again'.
However, the effect of the rocket was extremely slow, and seven of the nineteen shaft cars were slowly burning on the wooden shelves, but it would take time before the fire completely engulfed the shaft.
What's more, Fu Wei saw the last thing he wanted to see, and those Wu soldiers had already found that those small flames had grown, and climbed up one by one to extinguish the fire, and the Wu soldiers on the roof of the well proudly gestured to the Shu soldiers on Yong'an City, and then squinted their eyes and shot with the divine arm crossbow. The Shu soldiers were angry, but some of the Shu soldiers who were shooting at the city switched to shooting at the well. It's a pity that one bows down and one tilts, the bow used by the Shu soldiers is far inferior to the divine arm bow used by the Wu soldiers, the position of those well carriages is just right, and the arrows shot by the Wu soldiers can just be able to kill and injure the Shu soldiers, and the Shu soldiers shoot, even if they are very accurate, can only be nailed to the wooden fence on the roof of the well carriage, and few can hurt the above.
"A little closer, a little closer!" A small colonel beside Fu Wei shouted anxiously, "Get closer, and Lao Tzu will be able to open a hole in your head." "His archery skills are very accurate, but his strength is a little weak like others, and he can't pose a threat to the well car.
Fu Wei began to regret why he fought so fiercely an hour ago, and was slashed by a Wu Juntun commander who cut his left hand, and now he couldn't open a hard bow.
"Quick, let the brethren in the city change their crossbows."
Shu's bow shoots one hundred and twenty steps, and the crossbow machine can shoot about one hundred and fifty steps, and if you change the crossbow, you can deal with those Wu dogs. It's just one shot of crossbows, two or three shots of bows, if you have to deal with the well, what do you want these crossbows for?
"By the way," Fu Wei remembered something more important, "let the brothers carry up the two Yuanrong giant crossbows under the city." (To be continued......)
