Chapter 140: Defending the City (No. 8, Third Shift)
Not only did Liu Feng climb high and look far away, but after Huang Zu ordered the army to set up camp, he also rode his horse for dozens of steps, leading the generals in the army to observe Xiakou.
"This city, which was built to guard against the Jiangbei Water Army, is only conducive to defending the Water Army, but not to defend against the foot soldiers, and it is too easy to break through."
There was a general beside Huang Zu, who looked at Xiakou Chengdao with disdain.
This general's name is Lei Guan, five big and three thick, his face is full of meat, and he is conceited that he is the first fierce general in Jiangxia Taishou Huangzu. When Huang Zu built this Xiakou City, he was Huang Zu's general. Therefore, the weaknesses of this city are well understood.
"My purpose is not to break through the city, but to dismantle Liu Feng in eight pieces to vent the hatred in my heart. DID YOU KNOW? Huang Zu did not praise Lei Guan's fierceness as usual, but said coldly.
These said, Huang Zu has aged a lot. When I was sleeping at night, I dreamed of the figure of my eldest son Huang Jie from time to time. I am extremely remorseful, why did I send my son to attack Liu Feng in the first place, and why didn't I send Deng Long, the general in the army, to go.
For Liu Feng, who killed Huang Jie, Huang Zu was even more eager to dismantle eight pieces.
The mood is not very good, for the art of winning people's hearts. Of course, I don't bother to use it.
Lei Guan's face turned red when he was coldly said by Huang Zu's cold words, but he didn't dare to vent his resentment on Huang Zu. On the contrary, Liu Feng resented in his heart.
If it weren't for this kid suddenly appearing, how could Huang Shot die. How could he be scolded.
You are a little Liu Feng, it is a blessing to be killed by our son-in-law. If you are blessed, you will not enjoy it, but you will have bad luck, which will lead to being dismantled in eight pieces soon. It's hateful and pitiful.
Lei Guan thought as a matter of course.
Originally, according to the normal procedure, it should have been encamped first, and then the siege should be carried out tomorrow. But Huang Zu couldn't wait.
After looking at it for a while, he pulled out the long sword on his waist and roared angrily towards Xiakou City: "After breaking the city, those who get Liu Feng's head will be rewarded with one thousand, and those who get the remains of the corpse will be rewarded with one hundred." Besiege. ”
After hearing this, Lei Guan trembled all over. Sure enough, it was the fate of the big disassembly. He knew very well that after Huang Zu's order went down, it would definitely cause the soldiers to snatch Liu Feng's body, decompose, and decompose it again. Each person has a part and takes it back to Huang Zu to receive the reward.
is vicious enough, and his hatred for Liu Feng is deep enough.
There was a moment of silence in his heart, and Lei Guan rode out of the battle. Because he is the first fierce general, he is generally on the first formation.
On the city, Liu Feng saw a general wearing gold armor on the other side, leading more than 1,000 soldiers out of the battle. I couldn't help but put my hand on the hilt of the long sword at my waist.
After being silent for a moment, Liu Feng's eyes suddenly flashed with coldness, and he said loudly: "Beat the drums, shake the army's might." ”
"Boom, boom." With Liu Feng's order, the city wall was lined up, and more than ten big drums, under the beating of more than 20 strong soldiers, emitted an earth-shattering roar.
At the same time, there were also bursts of drums in the Huang Zu army under the city. In the sound of drums, Lei Guan led more than a thousand soldiers and launched a fierce attack on Xiakou City.
Each soldier had a sack of dirt in his hand. Prepare to fill in the moat in one fell swoop. Xiakou is a water village under the rule of Jiangxia, how could Huang Zu not know that this city is a water fortress, and there are moats around the city?
By the time the army was assembled in Xiling County, these sacks had already been prepared. Thousands of bags went down, and the river was filled.
To the sound of drums, more than 1,000 soldiers fought forward with sacks on their backs. At this time, the archers at the head of the city were already under the command of Zhang Gui, and they fired arrows as if they didn't want money.
"Whoosh." Arrows rained down, and countless soldiers with sacks on their backs fell to the ground. or howling, or silent.
But the soldiers still gritted their teeth and rushed forward, not daring to retreat in the slightest. Because they knew that the general Lei Guan was leading his own soldiers to supervise the formation in the rear, and anyone who retreated would be killed.
Rushing forward and capturing the city is the way to live. There is only one dead end to go backwards.
Almost one-fifth of the soldiers fell on the way of about seventy or eighty paces. But the rest of the soldiers also reached the moat, and threw down the sacks in their hands with great difficulty. Immediately spread his feet, and fled back to his own camp in the rain of arrows.
In this way, Lei Guanzai paid the price of hundreds of people and filled the moat.
After the last group of soldiers retreated, Lei Guan organized 2,000 soldiers again. or holding a ladder, or holding a sword, and a great sword. Prepare for the siege.
"After the city is broken. Those who get the head of Liu Feng will be rewarded with a thousand gold. Whoever gets the carcass will have a reward of one hundred. Kill. The formation was put at the end, and Lei Guan drew the long sword at his waist and shouted.
"Kill, kill, kill." In response, there was a loud shout of killing, and the soldiers rushed towards the city.
Their eyes were full of blood, because they were old pawns, and they knew that if they didn't enter, they would die. Only by breaking the city, breaking the city, and breaking the city can we get a way out of life and have a reward.
It is undeniable that Huang Zu's condition of using Liu Feng's body as a reward has made the soldiers more excited and furious to a certain extent.
Facing this murderous aura that seemed to be about to roll up the sky, Liu Feng couldn't help but be moved.
This is the Jiangxia army, even if it is broken, it is also the army that was able to compete with the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian back then, and after Sun Jian's death, it was the army that competed with Sun Ce and Sun Quan's brothers.
The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and this sentence can just be used on the Jiangxia army.
However, as the saying goes, once you are strong, then you will decline, and then you will be exhausted. Even if the army is strong, there are times when it turns from strong to weak, not to mention the already dilapidated Jiangxia army.
In this way, I am afraid it will not last four or five hours.
Liu Feng looked up at the sky, it was about four or five hours before it got dark, and it was also the time when Gan Ning arrived. Before dark, you can break the Jiangxia army in one go. Completely burn the beacon fire all over Jiangxia.
Take possession of it.
"Steady." Liu Feng only said two words, but he was as steady as Mount Tai.
"No." Zhang Gui, who was ordered to command this city defense battle, raised his fist and promised. After receiving the general's order, Zhang Gui calmly crossed Liu Feng and stood at the forefront of the city, commanding the war.
Like most of the generals under Liu Feng's account, Zhang Gui became more and more calm under the influence of Liu Feng's calm demeanor.
Looking at Zhang Gui who was so calm, Liu Feng's eyes were full of reassurance.
"Kill." The soldiers under the city broke out a shout of killing because they were close to the city, and almost at the same time, the soldiers at the head of the city also broke out with a shouting of killing.
The two armies faced each other, and the blood stained the city.
At the water village in the north of the city, Zhang Gu led the water thieves who were said to be five hundred years old, staring at the east. But his ears were tightly pricked up, listening to the situation in the south of the city.
At this moment, the hour is gradually approaching evening. After the outbreak of the war, four hours had passed, and within these four hours, Zhang Gu listened to the sound of the drum eight times.
In other words, Huang Zu's army had already attacked the city eight times. Eight times in four hours, this would be appalling to say.
You must know that the army is also made up of people, and it will be tired, and it will be tired. Will be afraid. Generally, the siege of the city is once every hour or two, five or six times a day.
After waiting for the emptiness in the city to be revealed, he will launch a fierce attack with all his might. This is the right way.
And now Huang Zu launched a fierce attack as soon as he came, and he launched two fierce attacks in an hour. Zhang Gu dared to conclude that Huang Zu wanted to break through Xiakou in one day.
I don't know if the lord can withstand it? Zhang Gu had doubts in his heart, there was still about an hour and a half left before dark, which meant that Huang Zu would launch at least three more onslaughts.
And most of Liu Feng's army were surrendered soldiers. The training is only seven days, and if it is urgent, I am afraid that there will be a mutiny.
Just when Zhang Gu was full of heavy heart, he only heard a pawn shouting: "Boat, it's a boat." ”
Zhang Gu's complexion changed greatly, and he looked towards the east fiercely, only to see countless boats going up in the surging river. On one of the building boats, a large flag with the word "Chang" danced in the wind.
"The bow and arrows are wound, and the sword is unsheathed." Zhang Gu shook for a moment and said in a deep voice.
Water battles, against enemy ships. Bows and arrows are the mainstream.
With Zhang Gu's order, the soldiers on the water village wound their bows and arrows one by one, and their eyes were firmly staring at the countless boats and boats that were going upstream.
On the deck of the building ship with the word "Chang", there were several men, and among the men, there was a middle-aged man with a dignified face, this man was Chang Wei. Captain of the Sanjiangkou Naval Army.
"Lord Taishou has an order, and he will attack the water village with all his might. Ordered the building ship to divide on both sides, suppress the bows and arrows on the water wall, and send a warship to storm the walled gate. Seeing that Xia Kou had arrived, Chang Wei ordered.
"No." The four henchmen responded to the order in unison and went down to give the order.
After the henchmen went down to give the order, Chang Wei raised his head, looked at Shuizhai with a sneer, and said, "I am Lord Taishou and lead 12,000 soldiers and horses to storm the city. How many people can be stationed in your half of the water village? Let's see me break it. ”
"Drumming." Almost at the same time, Zhang Gu and Chang Wei ordered the drums to be beaten.
"Boom, boom." Following the offensive and defensive battles of the southern city, the northern water village also resounded with a roaring drum.
The soldiers on both sides shot arrows, and blood stained the Yangtze River.
At this moment, it was the gap for Huang Zu to attack in turn. On the south side of the city, Liu Feng took Kou Shui to inspect the city. In the blink of an hour, the corpses and stumps of the city were carried away.
But the blood, and the minced meat, are difficult to remove. Every step Liu Feng took, he almost had to step on the bright red blood.
In troubled times, wars break out all the time. A man with ambition and goals. You can't be overwhelmed by the tragedy in front of you.
Liu Feng's eyes were calm and he inspected the city very calmly.
Suddenly, Liu Feng's footsteps paused. Turning to look north. Is the troll also coming? Liu Feng's heart was slightly dignified.
I wonder what happened to Gan Ning? Liu Feng thought for a moment, and then started to inspect the city again.
The task of the water village in the north of the city has already been handed over to Gan Ning. At present, what he has to do is to resist Huang Zu's fierce offensive as much as possible, and wait for Huang Zu's opportunity to blow up, then decline, and rest.
Broke Huang Zu in one fell swoop.
Suddenly, there was a roaring drum sound from Huang Zu's main formation outside the city.
"Boom, boom."
"Meet the enemy." Liu Feng changed greatly, drew his sword and shouted.
God knows, if Huang Zu really doesn't want the surname of the soldier, it is less than a quarter of an hour before the last siege. is about to make a comeback, do you really want to break through Xiakou today?
Liu Feng's heart was solemn and abnormal.
