Chapter 160: Infiltrating the Enemy Camp
"Die." Hua An stabbed into the heart of the enemy lieutenant and nailed the enemy lieutenant to the female wall.
"Ugh." The enemy lieutenant snorted lightly, spat blood, and his head hung deeply, never moving again.
"Ah......h
After solving the enemy in front of him, Hua An raised his eyes and looked around, there were still many enemy troops on the city wall, especially the position where the other three heavy siege vehicles stretched out to the city wall, and hundreds of enemy soldiers poured onto the city wall.
The soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army defending the city were struggling to fight with the enemy, and there were enemy soldiers rushing up the ladder from time to time in other positions on the city wall, and the battle situation was extremely tragic.
"Soldiers, follow me to kill you." Hua An roared and slashed at the position on the right where the enemy troops poured up the city wall the most.
After a period of fierce fighting, the Northern Expeditionary Army finally repelled this wave of enemy onslaught after paying huge casualties, and the enemy's losses were even heavier, leaving at least fifty percent more corpses than the Northern Expeditionary Army.
But the peach leopard who was watching the battle from a distance was excited, in his heart, this wave of attack was just the beginning, even if he failed to capture the city wall, there would be a second and third wave below, and if he continued to fight like this, the Jin army lacked troops and could not hold out a few times.
"General, just now the soldiers of our army attacked the city wall, and they resisted the Jin army for half an hour, and if they continue to fight like this, the Jin army will not be able to hold out a few times." One of the generals said loudly.
Peach Leopard nodded, and said with great ambition: "That's right, the Jin army is short of troops, and Yinling City will be ours sooner or later." ”
"General, two of the four heavy siege vehicles have broken ladders, and the remaining two have broken marks, so if you go on like this, I'm afraid it won't work." Another general worried.
"Yes! General, the length of the ladder has been increased, but the ladder has become unstrong, and if these siege engines are not useful, the pressure on our army to attack the city will be great. ”
"Hahaha! This will be thought of a long time ago. Peach Leopard stroked his beard and said loudly, "Come on, let the craftsman carry the finished ladder over." ”
A moment later, dozens of craftsmen carried twelve ladders for heavy siege vehicles in front of Peach Leopard.
"It turns out that the general has been prepared for a long time." The subordinate next to Peach Leopard was suddenly pleasantly surprised.
Peach Leopard looked at the Yin Ling City in front of him and said softly: "These twelve ladders are enough to attack the city for three waves, even if the Yin Tomb cannot be captured after three waves, there will be a backup move." ”
"What is the general's next move?" The subordinate general hurriedly asked.
Hearing this, the peach leopard pointed to the moat in front of him, and said loudly: "The reason why our army's siege vehicle needs to use a two-zhang ladder is entirely because the Jin army dug this moat outside the city, as long as this moat is filled in a few sections, our army's siege vehicle can directly lean on the wall of Yinling, and when the time comes, the army will climb the city wall like a tiger and wolf, and Yinling City will be at your fingertips." ”
"General, why don't you fill in these moats now." One of the generals wondered.
"The army set out in a hurry, and the general didn't expect Han Qian to have such a move, so the pockets and other materials needed to fill the moat are all in Dangtu City, but the general has already sent someone to get it, and tomorrow morning, our army can fill in these moats." Peach Leopard explained.
When the general beside him heard this, he suddenly nodded in understanding.
"General, the ladder for the siege vehicle has been replaced." A soldier clenched his fists.
Hearing this, Peach Leopard looked at the four heavy siege vehicles that had been repaired, and ordered loudly: "Right Army, attack the city immediately." ”
The herald waved Daxu to the right, and the commander of the army on the right flank immediately led his soldiers to attack Yinling City.
At this time, the sky has been a little dark, after two rounds of fierce fighting, the soldiers on both sides are tired and hungry, the evening is supposed to be the time for dinner, but the peach leopard's order to attack the city, so that the soldiers on both sides have to fight hungry.
"Damn, it's getting dark, and the enemy is coming up again." Iron Bull looked at the surging enemy soldiers and cursed loudly.
Hua An glanced at Tie Niu and quipped, "The enemy army came just in time, didn't you say that you haven't killed enough?" Now you can have a big kill. ”
"Hehe, big brother, the main thing is that my old cow's stomach is hungry, how good it is to fight after eating, these beasts besieging the city have to fight hungry." Iron Bull explained with a smile.
Hua An felt that it made sense when he heard it, if the enemy army continued to attack, the soldiers would fight hungry, and the combat effectiveness would definitely decline, and the soldiers must eat.
"General Chen, the soldiers are hungry, do you want the soldiers to eat in batches." Hua An walked to Chen Xiong's side and said softly.
Chen Xiong glanced at Hua An, and said loudly: "I want you to remind you that the baggage battalion is already cooking, first repel this round of enemy attacks, and then eat." ”
When Hua An heard this, he looked back into the city, and saw hundreds of cooking smoke rising in the city, and it was obvious that the soldiers of the baggage battalion were already cooking.
"Iron Bull, fight off the enemy army in front of you and eat it again! At this time, the rice in the pot is estimated to be raw. Hua An walked back to Tie Niu and quipped.
When Tie Niu heard this, he grinned: "Well, I'll eat it after the fight." ”
This round of enemy attacks was still extremely fierce, and a battle lasted for half an hour, and under the bloody battle of the defenders of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the enemy was once again repulsed.
As soon as the enemy retreated, Chen Xiong divided half of the soldiers to go down to the city to eat, and when this half of the soldiers returned to the city wall after eating, the next round of enemy attacks began.
This was followed by a desperate battle that lasted for half an hour, and the enemy retreated again after dropping hundreds of corpses.
After four fierce attacks, which lasted from mid-afternoon until dark, the enemy finally stopped the attack for the time being, after leaving behind thousands of corpses.
The officers and men of the Northern Expeditionary Army on the city wall took advantage of this gap to rest against the female wall for a while to meet the next round of enemy attacks.
"Iron Bull, are you full?" Hua An looked at Tie Niu and asked softly.
Tie Niu patted his bulging belly and said loudly, "Big brother, I'm full." ”
"Now that you're full, go to the enemy camp with your eldest brother to dissipate your food." Hua An whispered.
"Big brother, don't the two of us go to the enemy camp to die?" Iron Bull's eyes widened.
Hua An pointed to the corpses of the enemy soldiers under the city and said softly: "Put on the clothes and armor of the enemy soldiers, and you will not be found if you blend into the enemy camp." ”
"Okay, I'll listen to my eldest brother." Tie Niu readily agreed.
"Big brother, it's such a fun thing to sneak into the enemy camp, why do you have to take me with you." Wang San said softly.
Hua An nodded and whispered, "Tie the rope and prepare to go down to the city." ”
Tie Niu and Wang San immediately tied the rope prepared by Hua'an in advance to the female wall, and then went down to the city in turn.
The three of them rummaged through the corpses of the enemy soldiers under the city for a while, each found a piece of armor suitable for himself, and after putting on his clothes, he quietly touched the enemy camp five miles away.
At this time, tens of thousands of soldiers were eating in the enemy camp, and the enemy soldiers on the left and right flanks were tired all afternoon, and the wounded soldiers were bandaging their wounds with the help of the barracks.
Hua An, Wang San, and Tie Niu pretended to be injured, supported each other, and slowly walked in through the main gate of the enemy camp, without arousing the suspicion of the enemy army at all.
After all, after four rounds of fierce battles under the city of Yinling, it was inevitable that the thousands of corpses lying down would faint to death, and it was not surprising that after waking up, they would return to the camp.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of the enemy, the three Hua'an people who entered the enemy's camp chose places with many enemy soldiers to walk, and even greeted the enemy from time to time.
Fifty steps away from the enemy's Chinese army's tent, Hua An and the three stopped and carefully observed the surrounding situation.
"Big brother, there are too many sentries outside the tent in the enemy army, and we can't get close at all." Wang San whispered in Hua An's ear.
Hua An looked at the dozens of enemy soldiers holding halberds outside the Chinese army tent, nodded and said: "That's right, the enemy's Chinese army tent is heavily guarded, we can't get in, let's go, take a look elsewhere." ”
Tie Niu and Wang San followed behind Hua An and walked towards the left side of the enemy camp.
As soon as they turned around a few tents, four behemoths came into the eyes of the three of them, these were the four siege vehicles that had just been erected on the wall of the Yin Tomb.
Hua An, Tie Niu, and Wang San glanced at each other, and quietly leaned towards the siege vehicle.
"Stop, you guys, what are you doing in the equipment camp?" An enemy soldier raised his spear and pointed it at the three Hua'an.
Hua An hurriedly covered his chest, pinched his throat, and said softly: "We are injured and are looking for a military doctor." ”
The soldier stretched out his hand and said loudly, "The camp tent of the military doctor is over there, you have made a mistake, hurry out." ”
"Uh, the wrong one." Hua An whispered, raised his eyes and looked around, only to see dozens of thunderbolts next to the four heavy siege vehicles, behind the thunderbolts were boxes of black spherical objects, obviously thunderbolts that could burn, and two rushing vehicles and hundreds of giant shields.
Hua An frowned, thinking in his heart that if all these siege equipment were destroyed, the defense of the city tomorrow would be much smoother, and it would definitely take a lot of time for the enemy to remake these weapons, and by then, the Northern Expeditionary Army had completed the purpose of blocking the enemy and could retreat to the east city safely.
"Look, you guys get out of here at once, quick." The soldier raised the spear in his hand and pointed at Hua'an's chest and urged.
Hua An sneered at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the spear in the hand of the enemy soldier, broke the spear into two with force, and inserted the half-cut spear into the enemy soldier's chest.
"Ugh." The enemy soldier groaned and fell backwards.
"Big brother, are you going to burn these guys?" Iron Bull said softly.
Hua An nodded and said softly: "You two immediately take out some of the black balls in the box in front of you and put them under the siege vehicles, these four siege vehicles must be burned." ”
"Okay, don't worry, big brother, I'll leave it to us." Tie Niu and Wang San said and went to prepare.
Hua An dragged the dead enemy soldier aside, turned around and took three torches from a shelf in the camp, and walked towards the enemy siege engine.
"Big brother, everything is ready, as long as there is a little fire, all the instruments here will be burned to ashes."
