40. Li Youwu's first battle for promotion (2)
After Li Youwu heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing, and pointed at Huang Shuang while laughing and said, "Fortunately, it's me." If you are a small-minded manager, if you ask this, isn't it saying that the manager is not as good as you? Aren't you bold? Why did your face change? General Huang! Don't worry, I love your candour. Yes. I promise you. As long as you attack the wall, you are the main attacker. I will immediately transfer three armies to your command and take Heyang. ”
Huang Shuang immediately jumped up happily and replied, "Yes." Manager! ”
The next day, the Qin army launched an attack on time. The Wei army was really on full alert, and as soon as the war drums of the Qin army's attack sounded, the originally sparse fire in the head of the love head was suddenly illuminated by a long dragon-like torch.
The Qin army seems to have expected that when the war drums were beating, under each city wall, three thousand archers with bows and arrows would suddenly stand up. With the shouts of tens of thousands of throats of the Qin army, the torches lit on the city wall suddenly became the target of the Qin army's archers. Each archer was ordered to set up five arrows quickly, and 72,000 arrows were shot at the city wall in a few dozen breaths. The torches on the city wall, in countless screams, in the chaos, were all extinguished in less than ten breaths, and the city wall became pitch black again, and even the bonfires that were originally fifty steps away were extinguished by the Wei army on the city wall.
As soon as the torches on the city wall were extinguished, the Qin army sent nearly a hundred long ladders on each city wall, and in the dark, they touched the city wall less than fifty paces. In the hazy moonlight, you can also see the figure wriggling upwards on each long ladder.
On the west and south sides, less than a hundred paces from the city wall, when the war drums were beating, a large number of people holding stakes, carrying planks, and hammers rushed to the city wall by the light of the fire. After running under the city wall, he didn't care about burying the piles with his head and the planks between the two piles. After the fire was extinguished on the city wall, he boldly raised the fire to illuminate the piling. Those archers, in order to cover this group of people, concentrated their arrows and shot the walls that piled the heads of this group. Fortunately, the speed of this group of people was fast, and in less than half an hour, two wooden fences with a width of three feet and a height of more than one person at intervals of a thousand paces stretched from the root of the city wall to fifty paces away from the city wall. With the completion of the wooden fence, the ant-like crowd divided into eight long strips of four coming and four going; Each of the four men carried a bag of dirt and ran to the wooden fence at the base of the wall, and as soon as they got the earth into the wooden fence, they joined the long dragon and ran back. Nearly 10,000 people poured the soil of a wooden fence and made the soil pile up quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And the Qin army that attacked the city wall, completely ignoring the pile of soil under the city, still climbed up around the four city walls without his life. At this time, the Wei army could not care about the Qin army piling up the earth, and went all out to deal with the Qin army that climbed the city and the Qin army who shot the city wall. The two armies fought fiercely up and down the city walls.
The Hexi Army of the Wei army was already brave and good at fighting, and this time it was to defend the homeland. In order to increase the strength of the city, the main general Wei Hu recruited 50,000 willing people. In order to maintain combat effectiveness, the city is usually guarded by the people under the leadership of the sergeant; Therefore, as soon as the war drums of the Qin army sounded, countless torches would illuminate the city wall, exposing the target, and allowing the Qin army to shoot squarely. The regular Wei army rested under the city wall, and as soon as they heard the sound of drums, they immediately went to the city to support and replace the people. But as soon as it was delayed, it was a quarter of an hour, and with the chaos of stopping the people, half an hour passed.
It was in this half an hour that the Qin army was given the opportunity, and about 10,000 Qin troops climbed the four walls of the Wei army. The two armies were on the city walls, engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
Li Youwu took a look: This Huang Shuang is really a deputy general, and he actually let his entire army of 12,000 people climb the city wall, and he also took his personal guards to go up. How could he let go of this opportunity. He's got a move! Chen Xi, the commander of the Seventh Army, and Wang Hong, the deputy general of the Seventh Army, who had been waiting beside him for a long time, walked over and asked, "It's time for us to get up, right?" Manager! ”
Li Youwu pointed to the north city wall, which was the most chaotic and led by Huang Shuang to attack, and said, "Your whole army is all pressing towards the north city wall!" ”
The two of them immediately responded excitedly and ran away without even saluting. In less than half an hour, hundreds of long ladders leaned against the northern city wall, and the people of the Seventh Army continued to climb up from nearly 500 long ladders like ants. Li Youwu saw that with the addition of the Seventh Army, the Qin army on the northern city wall had gained the upper hand. According to the current situation, it is estimated that in one hour at most, the Qin army can completely occupy the entire northern city wall. Just when Li Youwu breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard the Wei army on the city wall let out a neat and rhythmic shout: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”
In the continuous sound of killing, the new force of the Wei army arrived. The morale of the Wei army was greatly boosted for a while, and the Wei army, which was originally declining, suddenly counterattacked the Qin army as if it had been beaten with chicken blood. In order to cover the attack of the Wei army, countless people actually hugged the Qin army and led it down from the city wall. For a while, the city wall was like dumplings, and people fell down with puffs and puffs.
Li Youwu immediately shouted: "Send someone to save it!" A group of heavy sergeants immediately responded and ran to the city wall, eighty paces away. They all stood within thirty paces of the city wall, took Changge, and hooked the people who fell under the city. Then it was checked by other people, and if it was found to be Qin Jun, it was lifted back.
The sound of the collision of weapons on the city wall, the sound of fighting, and the shouting were even more intense. Li Youwu couldn't see the battle on the city wall, and could only judge from the number of figures shaking on the city wall. Fortunately, the sky was gradually brightening, and he could see the situation on the city wall clearly. This look: He was shocked into a cold sweat, the Qin army and the Wei army were completely mixed together, and on the four-mile-long city wall, nearly 30,000 people, like a group fight, killed and chopped down, and no one could help anyone.
Three quarters of the hour. Li Youwu's high-platform command vehicle and the four-city lookout platform were finally set up. Li Youwu hurriedly boarded his command car. The command vehicle was fixed seventy paces from the north city wall, about four feet high, and stood on it, just in time to see the battle on the city wall. On the city wall about five zhang wide. Li Youwu saw that the Qin army was only floating in the upper ten places where the division commander, army commander, and deputy general recognized the flag, and had a local advantage, while the others were all melees. When he saw the two ends of the north city wall, he couldn't help but be surprised! Because there were prepared Wei troops at both ends, heavy armored warriors with bows and arrows and rows of spears, there were at least nearly 3,000 people at one time.
At this moment, the standard-bearer reported: The south and east lookouts reported: The Wei army has a large number of archers in the lower row of the northern city!
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.
