41. Li Youwu's first battle for promotion (3)
Li Youwu was taken aback, and immediately combined with the Wei army reinforcements at both ends of the north city wall, and immediately thought: The Wei army is desperate! The Wei army wanted to burn the jade with the Qin army, and use this kind of fighting method to drive the Qin army off the northern city wall.
What to do? If you can't withdraw and can't withdraw, even if you withdraw, it's a battle loss. But if he didn't withdraw, if the Wei army really didn't want to die, then the battle losses of tens of thousands of Qin troops would completely cut off his dream of being a general. No way. Be sure to take it down. Thinking of this, he said to the captain of the guard beside him: "You take two hundred men, divide them into four teams, and go up to the city as fast as possible." Each team finds a commander or lieutenant general. Orders were given to alternate cover, and the walls were withdrawn as quickly as possible. Whoever dares to disobey will be killed on the spot! ”
The captain of the guard immediately took the order. Li Youwu kept staring at the figure of the captain of the guard, until the captain of the guard climbed the city wall and rushed into the flag recognition group of the commander of the seventh army, he let out a long breath.
After a while, I saw that the Qin army began to assemble in an organized manner, consciously separating the Wei army from the Qin army, and systematically blocking the Wei army in the direction of the city wall near the city. Immediately afterward, a large number of wounded soldiers slid down the wooden ladder and were caught by the personnel who had been waiting below. After the wounded soldier descended, the sergeant who came down from hundreds of long ladders was faster. However, with the withdrawal of the Qin army, the Wei army on the city wall gradually took the initiative and began to attack the Qin army in an organized manner!
Li Youwu stood on the command car and saw that all the commander-level flags had descended to the city wall, so he watched the battle on the city wall with confidence. On the city wall, the Qin army, which covered the retreat of the main force, and about 3,000 people, under the command of their respective brigade commanders, stubbornly covered the long ladder on their side, fighting with the Wei army regardless of life and death, and constantly sliding the wounded sergeants down the long ladder or carrying them down. Finally, the evacuation of the lightly wounded sergeants began. However, there were still thousands of sergeants, and it seemed that they did not want to go down to the city, because the long ladders had already been carried away from the city, and less than ten long ladders were left to lean under the city walls. These thousand Qin troops turned out to be all the sergeants of Huang Shuang of the Eleventh Army! They had been fighting fiercely for more than two hours, and they still had the strength to let out a thousand shouts in unison, and they actually rushed to the killing of the Wei army around them. Seeing that it was difficult to destroy them for a while, the Wei army ordered archery! And a moment the arrows came down on them like a torrential downpour. These thousands of sergeants, in the face of the torrential rain, used their bodies to cover their comrades, so that the sergeants who could evacuate from the long ladder quickly slid down to buy time, but less than 200 people came down from the long ladder, and the rest were all killed in the rain of arrows of the Wei army.
Li Youwu took one last look at the Qin army who had died on the city wall, and then slowly came down to command the car. As soon as a few military commanders saw him coming down, they came over to give a report of unevenness. Huang Shuang's voice was the loudest, and he was the most disgusted: "Boss! With victory in sight, why withdraw? ”
As soon as Li Youwu heard this, his eagle eyes covered Huang Shuang, and he said coldly: "You see that the great work is about to be completed, I am afraid that you will make a great contribution and let my plan to build a passage to the city fail, so I ordered the withdrawal of the army, right?" ”
Huang Shuang's qualifications are to force Li Youwu to be much older, of course he thinks so in his heart, but he said: "That's what the coach said, I didn't say it." I was just unwilling to make it to the city, and I lost nearly 2,000 soldiers in battle, so 、、、、"
Li Youwu looked at Huang Shuang and suddenly smiled slightly: "You can ask the flagbearer on the lookout if you have time!" The Wei army is ready to fire ten thousand arrows and burn your jade. With that, he walked away.
Li Youwu came to the west city wall, and when he saw that the two passages in the upper city had been built, he was overjoyed. He saw that there were still two piles of Qin troops on the city wall, fighting the Wei army at the entrance of the passage of the upper city, protecting the passage that had been regarded by the Wei army as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh. Under the passage, the sergeants of the Thirteenth Army were ready to set off to attack Shangcheng, and were waiting for the order of their commander.
Li Youwu was very satisfied, so he praised the marshal of the 13th Army who rushed over: "General Win is really a wise general in the army!" ”
Childe immediately bowed and replied, "Boss! I really don't have that level. It's all my nephew's attention to winning the sword. He said, "We should prepare first, eat in advance, and when the hour comes, the commander will issue the siege order. ”
Li Youwu laughed: "I know your nephew." Good! I wish the 13th Army success. Siege the city! ”
After the boy stretched out and knelt on the ground and beat his chest with one hand, he returned loudly and excitedly: "Yes." Obey the Boss's orders! After finishing speaking, he stood up, and then gave Li Youwu a one-handed chest beating salute before turning around and leaving, walking quickly to the army that had already lined up the attack formation. Li Youwu's two different treatments in Beicheng and Xicheng made him feel good at the Thirteenth Army who respected him so much.
Just when Li Youwu was lamenting that the prestige of respecting this newly appointed acting general was not enough. The war drums of the Thirteenth Army rang out. Li Youwu no longer sighed, and immediately took the lookout car in Nancheng as a respected command car, and climbed up with a rope. When he stood on the lookout of the lookout car, the standard-bearer thought that the shift change was coming, and without looking back, he said, "Man! You just went down, why did you climb up again? I'm not at ease, or what? ”
Li Youwu smiled and said, "Young man, I just want to borrow your lookout to have a look!" Do you agree? ”
It was only when the standard-bearer heard that the voice was wrong, and turned his head to look: "Ah! Manager! How did you get up? It's dangerous here. ”
As he spoke, Li Youwu's guard captain also climbed up and smiled at the flag bearer. The standard-bearer was about to say something, but was stopped by Li Youwu: "Pay attention! You are now my temporary flag bearer. After speaking, he focused on the siege of the Thirteenth Army.
The 13th Army's 50 war drums seemed to have become a signal for an all-out siege. With the beating of these fifty war drums, the first to respond was the southern city, followed by the northern city and the eastern city. The Qin army's four upper passages in the west and south were the main forces of the attack. Although each passage is less than two zhang wide, it can only be lined up in a line of five people at a time, rushing up, but two divisions of 6,000 people are densely lined up along the passage to the back, as long as three miles, and it looks imposing! Let the Wei army in the city can't help but give birth, this is killing one by one, and it will also tire people to death.
Beicheng and Dongcheng are two divisions of Chen Xi's Seventh Army, and Huang Shuang's two divisions serve as secondary attacks on the north and east city walls. Because Huang Shuang collided with the boss, Chen Xi understood that the current boss was not easy to mess with, in order to clear himself, he and the deputy general were each responsible for a city wall, and regarded the feint attack as the main attack, in order to contain more Wei troops and prove themselves with military achievements; Therefore, as soon as the war drums of Xicheng sounded, he personally ran into the team carrying the long ladder, and rushed to the city wall with the long ladder without his life.
