Chapter Eighty-Four: Fighting Again
After Pang De saw the situation in Dong Shouye's army, he basically figured out what the situation was, and without delay, he immediately led the army back.
The reason why he led the army back was not that Pang De did not dare to attack, but Ma Teng's initial order was to let Pang De check the specific situation in Dong Shouye's army, and now that the situation has been ascertained, it is to launch an attack, and it is estimated that the 3,000 men and horses in Pang De's hands will not even be able to make a slightly larger movement, and they will be eaten alive by Dong Shouye's 50,000 army.
After Pang De led the soldiers and horses back to his own camp, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others had already been waiting for a long time.
Pang De said to Ma Teng: "Lord Qiqi, the last general led three thousand soldiers and horses, all the way to the dock fort of the official army, but he did not receive any obstacles, but the last general had a heavy discovery. ”
Ma Teng hurriedly asked: "What is the heavy discovery, could it be that Dong Baixiao'er has withdrawn from the army?" Impossible! Ling Ming don't sell it, come quickly! ”
Pang De was a little depressed suddenly, it was obvious that it was good for you to interrupt me, of course, Pang De didn't dare to say these words in public, so he said: "Lord Qi, the dock fort where General Dong was stationed was suddenly strengthened and renovated, and now it has become a simple city." According to the general's opinion, what he did before was probably to confuse our army, and the ultimate goal was to hold on, avoid a decisive battle with the main force of our army, wait for our army to run out of food, and then engage our army. If our army retreats, the other side will immediately send troops to chase and kill. In this way, I am afraid that our army is in danger! ”
Ma Teng was furious when he heard this, stood up, and couldn't help but slap his right hand on the case, and the case that was not of good quality was suddenly smashed. I only heard Ma Teng say angrily: "Dong Bai Xiao'er, you are so rude, you actually deceived me and others, it is really unbearable!" ”
Han Sui next to him said: "Brother Shoucheng, let's stop the wrath of thunder, if we mess up like this, wouldn't it be a success for Dong Bai'er!" ”
Ma Teng heard Han Sui's persuasion, and his anger calmed down slightly.
Han Sui said again: "Brother Shoucheng, in Han's humble opinion, I might as well raise troops in a few days to rush to Dong Bai Xiaoer's dock fort." Today, he increased his attack on Ji County, and at the same time released a message saying that Dong Bai Xiaoer had withdrawn his troops, and breaking Ji County was just around the corner, first causing chaos in Ji County, and then taking the opportunity to seize the city. Dong Baixiao'er saw that Ji County was about to break, and he would definitely send troops to support, and we would fight a decisive battle with it. If Dong Bai Xiao'er does not send troops, we will directly seize the city, and after occupying the city, seize the materials and equipment in the city, and then rely on the Jiancheng of Ji County to confront Dong Bai Xiao'er, and then wait for the opportunity to defeat Dong Bai Xiao'er. ”
Ma Teng was overjoyed when he heard this: "Brother Wenyue is resourceful, and the younger brother admires it." This move is quite wonderful when Wei rescued Zhao. Dong Bai sent troops to support Ji County, and this is the place where he must be saved! ”
After speaking, the two discussed the specific distribution and arrangement.
In the end, Han Sui led more than 50,000 horses from his headquarters to attack Ji County, and Ma Teng led less than 50,000 horses under his command to intercept and contain Dong Shouye's reinforcements.
Han Sui led the soldiers and horses to begin to command the troops to attack under the city of Ji County, the soldiers and horses of Xiliang are relatively good at field warfare, and they are a little lacking in siege, and there are no craftsmen in his army who are good at building siege equipment, so they can only rely on some simple siege equipment to attack the city.
This makes it less efficient and there are a lot of casualties.
However, the most worthless thing in Xiliang is the name of the person, as long as it can win, what can a few more people be counted?
In 688 B.C., Qin Wu Gong placed Ji County, and in the seventeenth year of Emperor Yongping of the Ming Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty (74 A.D.), Tianshui was changed to Hanyang County, and Ji County was the county governance.
Therefore, this Ji County is also a strong city, which is an important town in Xiliang, and its location is extremely important.
It's not easy to capture.
Han Sui commanded the soldiers under his command to set up a pair of cloud ladders, and all the soldiers and ants attached to them. Behind these soldiers, archers rained down on the city, suppressing the fire. There are also some soldiers who set up a few simple catapults, but these catapults do not have a large attack range, and they are not easy to operate, and it is not uncommon to attack their own people.
On the tower of the city, Yang Fu, Jiang Xu, Jiang Yu and others commanded the soldiers to use some hard crossbows and bows and arrows, and the archers below shot wildly. Compared with the archers in Han Sui's army, they stood on the city wall, condescending, and had a great advantage.
However, Han Sui's archers needed to look up and attack, so after holding on for a while, they felt that the firepower in the city was getting stronger and stronger, and they were becoming more and more unable to parry.
At this time, some of the soldiers of Han Sui's army who were climbing the ladder were directly shot by the archers on the head of the city, and they immediately fell down from the ladder, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.
Some of them were lifted from the city wall by the defenders of the city, and the ladders after opening did not have a focus point and could not maintain balance, so they fell to the ground one after another, and the soldiers who were climbing on the ladder also fell down from the ladder.
If you fall on the ground, you will not die but you will be seriously injured. Some fell headfirst down, hit their heads on the ground, and directly smashed their heads, and Bai Huahua's brain + pulp was sprinkled on the ground.
There were also some defenders at the head of the city, who picked up some rolling logs and threw them down the city, and some even picked up stones and threw them at the bodies of the enemy soldiers, all of which were as big as a fist, and some were even some large stones, which were thrown on their bodies, and many of them were broken legs and broken arms.
Then there is the pouring of boiling oil, which burns the besieging soldiers. This kind of oil is not a good thing, but an upgraded version of gutter oil and yellow soup of feces and urine, which is extremely powerful, and after being burned, the wound is extremely susceptible to infection. It is a primary version of a biological weapon.
Both sides fought extremely fiercely, and the casualties were constantly mounting.
Han Sui's offensive here is getting more and more fierce, and the pressure on Wei Duan, Yang Fu, Jiang Xu, Jiang Yu and others in Ji County is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more casualties.
There are no generals among these people who are good at guarding the city, and the reason why they have been able to hold on until now is because of the release of water by Han Sui and Ma Teng, the two of them just want to get some benefits, and they don't want to fight to the death with the defenders in the city under the city of Ji County and damage their strength, so they didn't go all out, but just wanted to put pressure on Dong Zhuo as much as possible.
There are not many talents under the command of Liangzhou Mu Weiduan, such as Yang Fu, Jiang Xu, and Jiang Yi are all relatively young generals, who have just begun to emerge, and they are still relatively lacking in experience.
Yang Fu was about the same age as Jiang Xu, Jiang Yu and others, all twenty-four or five years old, and it was the first time they had personally experienced such a tragic battle and commanded a battle for the first time.
