Chapter 29: Storming the county

In the vegetable garden, the two soldiers who stayed behind saw Luo Zheng coming in and immediately ran to meet him.

"Call the blacksmith to General Ben."

Luo Zheng waved his hand, and the two pro-soldiers didn't have time to talk nonsense, so they immediately turned around and ran.

Soon, the old blacksmith horse ran all the way and ran over with two of his own soldiers.

"The villain meets the general."

The old horse rushed to the front and immediately fell to the ground.

"Get up."

Luo Zheng waved his hand and sat on the chair placed by the soldiers.

As soon as he sat down, another soldier moved the table and put it on the table, and served melon and fruit herbal tea.

Luo Zheng took a cucumber and took a bite, chewed it, called the old horse to his side, handed the messy cloth in his hand to the old horse, and said, "Let's see, how long will it take to make these things?" ”

This guy didn't ask if he could make it, but directly asked how long it would take, and it was really domineering.

The old horse picked up the cloth and looked at it for a long time, pointed to the shape of the horse's hoof, and asked suspiciously, "General, what is this?" ”

Luo Zheng said unhappily: "Don't ask about this first, just say how long it will take to make it." ”

The old horse groaned and said, "If there are enough people, one day is enough." ”

Luo Zheng asked again, "What about those armors?" ”

Lao Ma replied, "It will take at least three days." ”

Luo Zheng asked, "How many people are needed?" ”

Lao Ma said: "Two hundred people are enough." ”

Luo Zheng immediately waved his hand, "Then do it immediately, the sooner the better." ”

The old horse hurriedly agreed, "The villain obeys." ”

Luo Zheng asked again, "Is there enough fine iron?" ”

Lao Ma said: "The general this way from Wancheng to Qiaoxian, every time he breaks a place, he will collect fine iron, and the fine iron stored at the moment is not 10,000 catties, but also 8,000 catties, even if it is a little worse, it can be replaced with copper." ”

Luo Zheng said 'um', "That's good, you can choose the manpower, and you must complete it all within three days." ”

The old horse agreed, hurriedly got up with the cloth, and selected people.

Luo Zheng was in a good mood, took Xu Chu to inspect the vegetable garden, and found that there was not much left of the small piece of watermelon, and immediately glared at the two pro-soldiers and reprimanded the two soldiers, "Fuck, no wonder General Ben thinks that you two guys have been getting blesser and blesser recently, and your face has become fatter, it turns out that Lao Tzu's melons and fruits are missing by half, fasting for three months, and keeping the rest of the seeds." ”

The two pro-soldiers smiled and scratched their heads, and hurriedly responded.

There are a lot of things planted in the vegetable garden, including food, vegetables, melons and fruits.

It's not much, but it's very varied.

Moreover, the vegetable garden is fertile, and although there are not many plants, the yield is very high.

Luo Zheng has already harvested a stubble, left a lot of seeds, and just waited for a piece of land to settle down, so he vigorously promoted planting.

In this era of famine, grain production restricted the development of the princes' power to a large extent.

If some high-yield crops can be popularized and planted, it will definitely occupy an incomparable advantage.

When I came out of the garden, it was completely dark.

Luo Zheng personally went to the workshop to watch the blacksmith erect the earthen furnace and smelt iron to make armor, and did not go back to rest until the time passed.

The next morning, before dawn, I heard the sound of earth-shattering war drums outside the city.

When the door opened, Xu Chu rushed in and said quickly: "Lord, Sun Jian's rebels have begun to attack the city." ”

"Fuck, so fast."

Luo Zheng scolded Shengniang, quickly put on his armor, went out and rode a war horse, and went straight to the north gate.

The morning light is slightly dewed, and the darkness of the sky has not yet dispersed.

The north gate of Qian County, there are many guns and halberds.

Sun Jian straddled his horse and stood solemnly under the handsome flag, his eyes were terrifying, and his right arm waved down fiercely.

To the sound of the earth-shattering war drums, the 15,000 foot soldiers were divided into three teams, each team of 5,000 people, lined up in three phalanxes in front and back, and marched neatly to attack the city in turn.

At the head of the county, the flag is fluttering and the crowd is crowded.

Luo Zheng, under the escort of Xu Chu and more than a dozen personal soldiers, rushed to the head of the city.

"General."

"The general is here."

The Xiliang soldiers, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly lifted their spirits and became noisy.

"General."

All the military academies also greeted them one after another and bowed their hands.

Luo Zheng waved his hand, rushed to the battlements in a few steps, and looked down against the city wall.

"Shoot the arrows."

At this time, the front of 2,000 Kwantung infantry had rushed within the range of bows and arrows.

There is a murderous look in the eyes of the little school Xiliang, and he raised his right arm and waved it down, shouting.

Whoosh ......

In the sound of the bowstring in unison, a dense rain of arrows poured down in an instant, and poured it on the heads of the Kanto foot soldiers.

"Shield."

In front of the 5,000-step formation, a captain drew his sword to the sky and roared.

The Kanto foot soldiers, who were running hard with sandbags, immediately slowed down and raised their shields to protect their heads.

At this moment, the rain of arrows pouring down from the ground had broken through the air, and there was a terrible howl.

It is impossible for the shield to protect the whole body, and under the first round of salvo fire from the Xiliang Army, nearly 100 Kwantung foot soldiers were still shot over.

"Don't stop, keep rushing."

The commander of the army roared, knocked a powerful arrow with a sword, and took the lead in rushing forward with a shield.

At the head of the city, Xiliang Xiaojiao was waiting to order a second round of volleys.

Luo Zheng suddenly shouted, "Wait." ”

The little colonel was stunned, and immediately ran over, and asked quickly, "What does the general command?" ”

Luo Zheng waved his hand, "Wait until you get to the city and then shoot." ”

The little colonel snorted and hurriedly said, "Obey." ”

Soon, more than 1,000 foot soldiers in the front battle rushed to the moat with shields on their shoulders and sandbags.

"Shoot the arrows."

Luo Zheng let out a loud shout and waved his right arm down.

He had already drawn his bow and arrows, and a thousand Xiliang soldiers who were ready to wait immediately loosened the bowstring and tightened it.

When the Kwantung soldiers were about to throw sandbags into the moat, a dense rain of arrows poured down at this time, and immediately knocked 2,000 foot soldiers on their backs, and at least 500 people were shot to the ground.

The terrible screams rushed into the sky in an instant, and the eyes of the commander of the army were instantly red.

Damn the Xiliang barbarian, the timing of this archery is really poisonous.

"Don't panic, the shield formation retreats."

The commander lieutenant is experienced and shouts decisively.

However, these Kwantung soldiers were really unsatisfactory, and after being shot by a round of arrows to turn over a quarter of the people, the soldiers immediately panicked, and as early as when the captain shouted loudly, they had already thrown away the sandbags and fled.

These soldiers were all pieced together by princes from all walks of life, and they were not all the way in the first place.

Although Sun Jian had time to practice along the way after he was reorganized, how effective it could be in just a few days, it was already uneven, and it couldn't cooperate well.

With this run, the military formation immediately went into chaos.

"Shoot the arrows."

When the commander realized that something was wrong, the thunderous shouts of Luo Zheng at the head of the city had already sounded again.

Like a rain of locust arrows, it poured down again and shot fiercely on the head of the Kanto infantry ground.

In the terrible howl, the soldiers who scrambled to flee fell in pieces, and some soldiers were shot directly and died quickly, while the vast majority of soldiers were not directly shot and died, and they all lay on the ground and howled.

The cruelty of war is vividly displayed at this moment.

In the rain of arrows under the black pressure of the Western Liang Army, 2,000 Kwantung infantry soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

Less than a quarter of those who escaped alive remained, and most of them were wounded.

The commander of the army was stunned, and he almost wanted to crush his steel teeth.

Damn Xu Jing, there are 3,000 soldiers and horses in Qian County, and he has the advantage of fortifying the city, and he was even taken by the Xiliang rebels, he is simply incompetent to the extreme, if it weren't for this, how could he have suffered such heavy casualties.

Attacking the fortified city, Lilai is filled with human lives.

Even if Sun Wu is resurrected, if he storms the city, he will have to pay a heavy price.

The 300,000 Kwantung coalition troops stormed the Tiger Prison Pass for more than a month, but suffered nearly 100,000 casualties, which is a living example.

The rear of the Kwantung Army.

Sun Jian saw it clearly, seeing that the first group of 2,000 foot soldiers suffered heavy casualties, his face suddenly turned extremely blue.

If the casualties continue according to this ratio, even if they can finally break through Qian County, there will inevitably be little left of the 15,000 troops borrowed from all over the world, and whether they can break through Qian County is still two words.

What's worse is that this army was put together on an improvised basis.

In the first place, they had not fought a few tough battles, and most of the soldiers were not familiar with the generals and colonels of the commanders, so they could not form trust at all, and they were not much better than those county soldiers.

Sun Jian has been fighting for many years, and he soon realized this, and there was a cold flame in the tiger's eyes.

The miscellaneous army put together by these princes is really not ordinarily bad, much worse than the elite under their command.

However, if you can use these miscellaneous armies to fight out these 8,000 Xiliang cavalry, it will be worth it.

When Sun Jian thought of this, he immediately shouted, "Gongsun Yue listens." ”

"What does the general command?"

Gongsun Chan immediately urged the horse to step forward and gave up his hands to stand by.

He is the general of Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gong of Beiping, and he is also the general of Sun Jian's land this time.

Although Gongsun Zhan lent out the 3,000 Youyan cavalry, it was naturally impossible to give the descendants to others, so he sent his younger brother Gongsun Yue as Sun Jian's deputy general to command the 3,000 Youyan cavalry, and only obeyed Sun Jian's orders.

Sun Jian said sharply: "Speed three thousand cavalry to help with strong bows." ”

"The last will obey."

Gongsun Yue received the military order and immediately urged the horse to leave.

Soon, You Ge's three thousand Youyan cavalry in the northeast corner quickly pressed up, lined up on the flanks of the siege infantry, and shot at the head of the city with strong bows and arrows to cover the siege of the infantry.

It's just that the results are a little unsatisfactory.

The Xiliang army shot down to the city, and naturally took a big advantage.

The Youzhou cavalry shot from the city to the city, even if the cavalry shot well, it suffered a great loss.

Only a very few people with superior strength and strong bows can shoot powerful arrows into the city. As for the vast majority of Youzhou soldiers, they couldn't shoot the arrows of the city, and they all fell into the moat with all their strength.

"Humph!"

At the head of Qian County, Xu Chu snorted, and with a lightning bolt, he grabbed a powerful arrow aimed at Luo Zhengdi.

The rest of the Xiliang Military Academy and soldiers also brandished their sabers one after another, blocking the powerful arrows that shot at the head of the city.

Fortunately, there are not many powerful arrows shooting at the head of the city, and because of inertia, the momentum has been exhausted and is blocked by light.

Luo Zheng's eyes were stunned, and he said in a deep voice: "The name of the Youzhou cavalry is good at riding and shooting, and it really deserves its name. ”

Li Meng said loudly: "Our army occupies the best geographical advantage, no matter how good the Youzhou soldiers are, they will also have no minions and paper tigers, and it will be difficult to hurt our army in the slightest, and the general does not have to grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige." ”

The rest of the Xiliang Military Academy and soldiers immediately responded, and their morale was even higher.

Xu Chu stood beside Luo Zheng with a knife, his tiger eyes shining brightly, staring at the front.
