Chapter 205: Storming Di Dao

At the beginning of March of the third year of Chuping, when Lu Bu and Ma Teng were both defeated and had to withdraw their troops to recuperate, Luo Zheng, who had long been ready to go, brazenly raised his troops and personally led 25,000 troops out of Yuzhong to the south, and the troops approached Di Dao.

Ma Teng's number one general, Pang De, will report that he immediately went deep and high, wanting to defend the city to the death.

For a while, the land of Liangzhou was covered with war clouds, and the smoke rose again.

At the same time, the 30,000 Xiliang troops stationed in Chang'an also reacted immediately.

Chang'an, Duan Xuan's official residence.

"General!"

A small colonel rushed into the inner hall and bowed his hand to Duan Xuan: "Ma Teng has retreated!" ”

"Oh, finally retired?"

Duan Xuan asked, "What about the casualties of Ma Teng's army?" ”

The little colonel said excitedly: "They are all about to be beaten miserably, most of the casualties of the two foreign Qiang soldiers, and the rest are all wounded, and they will not be able to go to the battlefield again in a short time." LΓΌ Bu's Bingzhou army also suffered heavy casualties, and even the intact ones now have only 3,000 cavalry left, and even holding the two counties of Anding and Beidi has become a problem, and now is the best opportunity for our army to attack Liangzhou. ”

Duan Xuan perked up and asked, "Is there any news from Jincheng?" ”

The junior colonel replied: "There is no news from Jincheng yet. ”

Duan Xuan groaned: "Such a good opportunity, Luo Zheng has no reason to let go, and he will inevitably send troops!" ”

Xiao Colonel said: "Even if Luo Zheng sends troops, Di Dao is still blocked by Ma Teng's 8,000 army, as long as our army can capture Longxian before Luo Zheng, we can take the lead, and even join forces with Lu Bu to deal with Luo Zheng." ”

Duan Xuan thought for a while, and then said: "Good, quickly convene all the generals to discuss it." ”

"Yes."

The little school hurriedly responded. Strode out.

Gaoping, and the temporary battalion of the state army.

Zhang Liao quickly stepped into the big tent of the Chinese army. Xiang Lu Bu arched his hand and said, "I've seen the lord." ”

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "Wen Yuan is exempt from courtesy." What is the movement of Luo Zheng's army? ”

Zhang Liao said angrily: "Luo Zheng has personally led the army south to Didao. ”

"I'm angry!"

Lu Bu's face turned blue with anger, and he slapped the table in front of him.

Next to him, Wei Xuqi's face was blue and said: "Lord, why don't you join forces with Ma Teng and fight with Luo Zheng." ”

"Fight, how to fight?"

Lu Buqi's chest rose and fell sharply, like a bellows, and he said in a cruel voice: "At present, more than half of our army has suffered casualties, and almost all of the remaining soldiers are wounded, and at least half of them will never be able to go to the battlefield again." There are even more bandits in Anding, and only 3,000 cavalry companies are left to defend Anding, and the two counties in the north are all problems, how can they fight with Luo Zhengpifu? ”

All the generals were silent, speechless.

At the north gate of Didao, the war drums are shocking, and the horns are ringing in unison.

The 25,000-strong army rolled out of the camp and lined up under the city of Didao.

In the main formation of the Chinese army, a group of heavy infantry stepped forward in a neat formation and erected a shield array to protect the front. Later, archers shot at the position to prevent the Ma Teng army in the city from taking advantage of the situation to attack outside the city.

On the two wings of the army, 15,000 cavalry divided into two teams and firmly protected the two wings.

Luo Zheng is dressed in Luo Tie. Covered with a dark cloak, sweat and blood under the crotch, it is really majestic. Spirited, riding alone to urge the horse to go out of battle. Yu shouted under the city: "Where is Pang De, do you know General Ben?" ”

"Luo Zhengpifu. Eat a certain arrow! ”

Hearing a thunderous shout from the top of the city, a powerful arrow swept into the air.

"Pang Depifu, dare to hurt a certain lord!"

Xu Chu shouted loudly, urged the horse to step forward, and slashed the powerful arrow that flew through the air.

Luo Zheng's face was a little gloomy, and he shouted: "Pang De, this general cherishes your martial arts, and can't bear to fight each other with swords, now Ma Teng is stern and breathless, if you surrender in Kaicheng, this general should share the wealth with you, how about it?" ”

"Fuck your shit!"

Pound scolded loudly: "Treacherous villain, I can't make you cramp and peel your skin!" ”

Luo Zheng's face turned blue with anger, and he shouted angrily: "The puppet dares to bully me, how can I vent the hatred in my heart if I don't kill you!" ”

Yan Xing jumped on his horse with a spear, slapped his horse out of battle, and shouted: "Pang Depifu, do you dare to go out of the city to fight?" ”

"Why don't you dare, wait a minute, I'll come here!"

Pound also shouted, then flicked his cloak and galloped down the city.

Not long after, a cannon was heard, and the north gate of Didao was opened.

Pound led five hundred horsemen out like a whirlwind and lined up in the lower city.

Yan Xingjian asked Luo Zheng for his life, "Lord, the last general will ask for battle!" ”

Luo Zheng's face was still a little ugly, and he waved his big hand, "Accurate." ”

"Order!"

Yan Xing was overjoyed, hurriedly raised his gun and jumped on the horse, and went to kill Pang De.

Pound roared, slapped his horse and danced his sword, and came to fight Yan Xing.

Previously, the two generals had caught and fought outside Yunwu City, regardless of victory or defeat.

Yan Xing had long wanted to fight with Pang De, and Pang De also wanted to compete with Yan Xing.

This encounter before the battle can be said to be the fulfillment of the wishes of the two.

In the sound of the earth-shattering war drums, the two horses staggered in an instant, and the two generals fought hard without any fancy skills.

In the cheers of the landslide and the ground cracked, Yan Xing and Pang De turned their horses' heads almost at the same time and urged the horses to kill again.

The martial arts of the two are between the two of them, and they have fought for more than 30 times, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

Jia Xu stroked his beard and praised: "I have heard of Pang De's bravery, and he is really the tiger general of the world!" ”

Wang Fang next to him couldn't help but snort and said, "Sir, why should you grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige." Although Pang De's martial arts are extraordinary, Yan Xing's kid is not bad, and he has fought with Pang De for more than 100 times under Yunwu City before. ”

Jia Xu smiled faintly, and didn't care.

Luo Zheng said with regret: "Such a brave general with both wisdom and courage actually voted for Ma Teng's house, it's a pity, it's a pity!" If he can get Pound to vote, General Ben would rather not have this Di Dao! ”

Jia Xu said: "Pang De is loyal to Ma Teng, and the general is afraid that he will be disappointed." ”

Xu Chuhu's eyes were round, and he said loudly: "Lord, the last general is willing to capture Pang De alive and sacrifice it to his tent!" ”

Luo Zheng frowned and said: "The confrontation between the two armies, the brave generals fighting in battle, although it can boost the morale of the army, but it is only a small way, and it can affect the outcome of the battlefield, but it is a small way." Zhong Kang is the general of this general to personally guard the army. Can Ann be brave in vain? ”

Jia Xu also nodded again and again: "What the general said is very true, General Xu Chu is responsible for protecting the safety of the general. How can you fight lightly in the battle, but if something happens. Who else will protect the general's safety. ”

"This ......"

Xu Chu was speechless, so he had to retreat.

While speaking, Yan Xing and Pang De had already fought hard for nearly a lily, and it was difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.

Both of them were snorting slightly, and they were already sweating on their foreheads.

Luo Zheng glanced at it twice, and immediately said, "Where are Li Meng and Wang Fang?" ”

"The last general!"

The second general hurriedly stepped forward and gave up his hands.

Luo Zheng said: "Hurry up and help Yan Xing fight with Pang De." ”

"Order!"

The second general took the order violently and brazenly urged the horse to kill him.

Pound was undaunted. Rise up bravely and fight alone against the three generals Yan Xing, Li Meng, and Wang Fang.

However, after only more than ten battles, I felt overwhelmed.

"Shameless!"

Pang De roared, struggled to force Yan Xing away, and then killed Li Meng and Wang Fang's two generals, and threw himself into the main formation.

"Take a leave of absence, stay alive!"

Yan Xing shouted loudly and hurriedly urged the horse to chase after him.

Li Meng and Wang Fang's two generals Yile turned their horses' heads and rode straight after them.

Unexpectedly, he could chase within 100 steps. Arrows were fired at the head of the city, and they were about to shoot down.

"Whew!"

Yan Xing howled, and an iron spear danced into a flying flower, picking up dozens of arrows. Shoot the horse and go.

Li Meng and Wang Fang took a few steps behind, easily avoiding a few arrows that shot far away, and calmly retreated.

As for Pound. He led five hundred horsemen into the city, and the gates were soon closed. The suspension bridge also slowly rises.

In front of the Great Army.

Luo Zheng's expression was cold, and he waved his hand heavily. Shouted: "Siege!" ”

"Order!"

Gao Shun responded to the order, and then rode away.

After a while, the earth-shattering drums of war burst into the sky.

A group of 500 swordsmen and axes came out of the formation, carrying sandbags and shields on their heads, and quickly rushed to the city. The front row was replaced by a column of heavily armored infantry, wearing full-body iron armor and holding a huge shield earlier than a person, protecting the front of the formation.

"The Han army is mighty!"

"Victory is won!"

The commander of the army roared, and the five hundred soldiers responded with three shouts, and the sound was like thunder, almost wanting to crack the sky.

Unlike those Qianghu soldiers, this foot soldier showed amazing discipline as soon as he came out of battle.

Under the leadership of the commander-in-chief and military academies at all levels, the 500 infantry soldiers still maintained a neat queue even in the process of charging, and did not mess up at all, like an armored car, quickly moving towards the city.

The loud trumpets sounded in unison, revealing an indomitable momentum and determination to win.

The head of the city of Didaw.

Pang De, who had just climbed the city tower, had a condensed look in his eyes, and said in a condensed voice: "I don't want the horse butcher to have elite soldiers under his command." ”

A small colonel next to him replied: "General, this is the army of Gao Shun guarding Yuzhong, and it is also the most elite infantry under Luo Zhengpifu, which is reorganized with 5,000 Northern Army and thousands of Han Sui soldiers. ”

Pang De's eyes were stunned, and then he said fiercely: "What about the elite of the Northern Army, that is, Gao Shun has not met the real elite, let Luo Zhengpifu see what the real elite is." Archers, ready. ”

The surrounding generals were in a state of mind for a moment, and a full thousand archers immediately drew their strong bows.

At this moment, two thousand sword and axe soldiers had already shouted their trumpets and rushed to within eighty paces.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Pound immediately snapped, and the thousand archers who had been waiting for a long time immediately loosened their bowstrings, and a rain of arrows as dense as locusts fell through the air in an instant, pouring down on the heads of the five hundred sword and axe soldiers.

"Raise your shield!"

The commander of the army roared, and the five hundred sword and axe soldiers immediately raised their shields with one hand to protect their upper bodies.

Peck peck......

Clusters of arrows hit the wooden shield, making a continuous sound.

Due to the dense formation, the arrows pouring down from the city could only reach the upper body of the sword and axe soldiers, while the hoplites in the front row were protected by iron armor and held huge shields taller than people, which were the natural enemies of archers.

"Charge!"

When the rain of arrows passed, the commander of the army immediately roared.

The five hundred foot soldiers immediately removed their shields and rushed forward with sandbags and arrows.

"Damn it!"

Pound's face turned pale with anger, and he wasted thousands of arrows, and only shot and wounded less than ten enemy soldiers.

After three waves of arrows, five hundred sword and axe soldiers rushed to the city of Didao.

"Fill the river!"

The commander of the corps roared again.

The second platoon of axemen immediately crossed the line and threw sandbags into the moat from the gap of the hoplites in the front row.

"Stand back, third row!"

The commander gave a loud order, and the second row of swords and axes immediately retreated to the rear.

At the same time, the third platoon of swordsmen rushed forward with sandbags and threw them out.

"Shoot these bitches with arrows."

At the head of Di Dao City, Pang Detie roared with a blue face.

A thousand archers kept firing their bows and arrows, desperately wasting arrows.

Under the city, five hundred sword-and-axe soldiers soon threw all the sandbags on their shoulders into the moat.

"Withdraw!"

The commander of the army roared, and the infantry phalanx immediately and quickly withdrew.

Although more than a dozen soldiers were injured by arrows at tricky angles, they were pulled away by the robed guards around them.

Except for nearly 20 soldiers who were wounded, none of them died on the spot.

On the city tower, Pang Deqi's face was pale, and his eyes were fierce as if he wanted to eat people.

Thousands of arrows were wasted, and less than twenty people were wounded, and such a result is really unsatisfactory.

Luo Zheng's army was in the rear.

Gao Shun's face was grim and expressionless, and when the first team of sword and axe soldiers retreated, he immediately waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "The second team stepped forward and filled the moat!" ”

"Order!"

The commander captain standing in front of the formation immediately responded loudly, and then raised his sword and howled, "Out of the ranks!" ”

The five hundred sword and axe soldiers who had been ready for a long time immediately carried the sandbags under their feet, crossed the formation, and rushed to the city of Didao. (To be continued......) R1292
