Fifty-six, the two sons join forces to attack the shore gate (3)
However, with this small forest, the life of the Qin army was saved, and when it was about to be broken and annihilated, suddenly there were bursts of attacking Qin drums from the east and west! The light chariot armies of the two Qin armies rushed into the Wei army's military formation from both flanks like crazy, and what they rampaged was a mess, stirring up the iron wall of the Wei army.
Wei Hu thought that he had fallen into the anti-ambush of the Qin army, and he was known for his cautiousness, stability, and slippery operation, and when he saw that the Qin army came to reinforce the army, and it was also a light car army, how could he dare to take this risk and lose the elite of the shore gate here? He ordered the army to retreat. Although the Wei army was unwilling, the military order was like a mountain, and the prestige of Wei Hu was added, so the Wei army came like the tide, and retreated with a bang.
As soon as Ziji saw the defeat of the Wei army, he was overjoyed, and he beat the war drum even more! Chen Xi was helpless, snatched the drumstick, struck the gong, and called the gold to withdraw the troops!
Zi Ji was furious when he saw it, and just as he was about to train him, he saw that the retreating Qin army was exhausted, and the light chariots attacking the two flanks of the Wei army were also dilapidated, and they only took less than 300 chariots. He suddenly woke up and knew that if it weren't for the five thousand warriors who hated the same enemy, and the five hundred people who took advantage of his unpreparedness, the whole army would have been wiped out long ago. Thinking of this, Ziji hurriedly confessed his mistake to Chen Xi and the two division commanders. When Zi Ji faced the corpses of more than 500 soldiers who died in the battle, and the tragic scene of thousands of soldiers who were wounded in the war, he was blaming himself in his heart! Blame yourself for this rash move because of your eagerness to win! It was only when he learned that war was not child's play.
Under the command of Chen Xi, the remnants of the Qin army set up a large camp. The brigades began to bury pots and cook, rest, heal wounds, and bury corpses. Zijian also ran away from the clouds with his brother's desire to win. He invited the deputy general Chen Xi and the two division commanders, and after explaining his siege strategy to the three in detail, after obtaining the consent of the three, he ordered the brigade commander and the above military officials to hold a meeting to discuss. After discussion, he sent someone to give his siege plan to the prince. And agreed with the prince that tomorrow, the four gates will attack the city at the same time.
Day 2. When. The war drums of the Qin army's four-gate attack sounded in unison. With the sound of war drums, the Qin army overwhelmingly launched a siege battle at the same time for the four gates of the shore gate. Wei Hu stood on the north city and looked at this posture, and knew that the Qin army would win the shore gate, and he had no reinforcements, and the most important thing was to preserve his strength and defend the city. He thought to himself: I am really a miserable person. Guard less beams, less beams break. Guarding the yang, the sun breaking. It's not easy for Lao Tzu to run to the shore gate far away from the Qin army, and the fucking Qin army has pasted it like a plaster again? Why does this Qin Jun keep looking for me? I didn't dig up the ancestral grave of your Qin Guogong? Alas, it's really unlucky, drinking cold water and knocking your teeth, and farting and piercing your pants?
He wanted to be so, but no matter how much he thought about it, he didn't want to be captured by the Qin army again. Last time, there was a great general, Gongzi, who was in front, and King Wei had to change him back. If he was captured by the Qin army this time, Wei Wangli would not pay attention to it. Therefore, although he had already arranged the four gates safely, the armies also desperately defended the city; But he was still afraid of being worried about missing a thousand things, so he took a guard of 500 men and a thousand crossbowmen to patrol along the city wall, one to improve morale, and the other to save emergencies.
As soon as Wei Hu arrived at the north gate, he suddenly saw many city residents pouring out of the alley, pretending to be panicked, and rushing to the north gate. Wei Hu was afraid that the north gate would be disrupted by this group of city people, so he didn't care about the life or death of these city people. He commanded in a loud voice: All the citizens of the city who are fifty paces close to the city gate will shoot arrows and stones! And he ordered the messengers to spread this order to the four gates as soon as possible.
When this group of city citizens rushed to the north gate only ninety paces away, the gate army shouted loudly Wei Hu's order. But this group of thousands of city citizens did not listen, but accelerated the speed of escape, getting closer and closer to the city gate.
Wei Hu also felt strange, so he stretched out his head and stared closely at this group of panicked city citizens: he was shocked! Where is this group of panicked city citizens, it is clearly dressed up by the Qin army, and when you look at it, you are panicked, and if you look closely, this group of people are all strong and strong, powerful, running moderately, and their eyes are shining. He was in a hurry, and when he saw that this group of people was less than sixty steps away from the city gate, he shouted violently: "This is the spy of the Qin army." Shoot them with arrows! While shouting, he personally shot an arrow, and then ten thousand arrows were fired.
With this shot, the Wei army above and below the city knew that these people were well-trained, so they retreated, broke off some door panels and the like to make shields, and pounced on the north gate. The north gate was in danger as a result, and it was almost grabbed by this group of city citizens several times. Fortunately, Wei Hu was present, and this group of city citizens saw a group of Wei troops rushing down the city tower to them, so they scattered as birds and beasts.
On this day, the four gates were narrowly broken several times, but because the Qin army crossed the river in a hurry and the equipment was incomplete, it was finally saved, but the Wei army also suffered heavy losses. Wei Hu knew that the Qin army was powerful, and tomorrow's siege would be even more fierce; So he had to give an order to recruit strong men in the city to go to the city to help the army roll wood and stones! And folded the houses, and used the beams and stones of the houses as weapons to defend the city.
Wei did not establish a strict household registration management system like Qin, so there was a large floating population. The 2,500 branch head soldiers who entered the city a few days earlier, although they did not succeed in the north gate today, were arranging for tomorrow's seizure of the gate, and they heard that the Wei army was forcibly recruiting strong men to go to the city to defend the city.
Although Wei Hu also knew that there were spies of the Qin army in the city, and also issued a military order to guarantee one person by five families, what was so difficult about this. Most of the city's residents were reluctant to defend the city, and when they saw that someone was going to die for them, they rushed to give the five families a letter of guarantee. Wei Hu can also be regarded as having exhausted the organs, and he will guard the levy according to the area to be levied. He thought that the people of the city would definitely work hard to defend their homes. His decision to recruit his husband made more than 700 Ketou troops to the north gate, thus ruining his reputation for a lifetime.
Early in the morning of the third day, the hour had just arrived. The Qin army launched another attack at Simen! Wei Hu was busy patrolling again. Patrolled to the east gate, commanded for a while, and then patrolled to the south gate, and the south gate was actually robbed by the Qin army. Wei Hu was shocked and hurriedly led the army to pounce. He was greatly surprised: the Qin army at the south gate was so difficult to defeat that if it weren't for his guards and a thousand crossbowmen arriving, the south gate would have been broken. He looked down on the battlement, and the Qin army under the city was actually flying the prince's handsome banner. When his heart sinks, the shore gate will be broken. The prince of Qin must have conquered it for political achievements, and he would win the battle and conquer it. Where does Wei Hu dare to patrol the city now, and personally command the battle at the south gate.
Zijian had tasted the power of the Wei army yesterday. Today, when the city is attacked again, the prepared thick door board will be used to carry the city in a group of five. When they arrived at the city, they used leather carts and light carts to stack the fortresses, and forced the city wall in a stepped shape to let the soldiers ascend the city; Because the one who used a long ladder to climb the city suffered too many casualties.
