189. In the battle in Changzi County
There was a neat sound one after another, and the attacking soldiers of the Xiliang Daben battalion raised their shields one after another, mostly wooden shields, and in the next second, their arms were slightly sore, and the shield suddenly looked like the back of the hedgehog, and the arrows flashing with cold light on the shield neighed, and there were not many casualties.
Seeing this, Dou Yun and several scribes on the city tower changed their faces slightly, these Xiliang troops were so strong, and the arrows like raindrops were so shocking that they didn't even hurt their muscles and bones.
Compared with Dou Yun, who was born in a literati, the captain Guo Miao was much calmer, the enemy troops under the city all had helmets and did not wear them, and their heads were scattered at a glance as the Qiang troops on the Xiliang side, and then thought of the princes who used troops against the state this time, Guo Miao guessed the origin of this enemy army without thinking about it.
The Western Liang Army has always been brave and good at fighting, compared to the state of Youzhou is not inferior at all, Liangzhou is located in the Han and Qiang borders, the people are fierce, not afraid of death, there are many warlords born out of nowhere, such as Dong Zhuo Ma Teng Han Sui is one of the very famous several leaders, since ancient times Long right fine horse is rampant in the world, known as "Liangzhou horse, rampant in the world", such a famous strong army, Guo Miao is not confident enough to be able to defeat with one blow, this wave of arrow rain, is just a temptation.
"Keep shooting." Guo Miao's face was indifferent, and as soon as his arm fell, not only did the two thousand old soldiers draw their bows and shoot arrows again, but even the thousands of service soldiers were also unwilling to be lonely, and all kinds of bows and arrows hanging from their waists greeted the Xiliang army under the city.
Located in the rear, Niu Fu, who was surrounded by his own soldiers, had sharp eyes, holding a silver helmet in his left hand and a halberd in his right hand, staring at Zhihu Chi'er leading the crowd towards the eldest son city, and the war horse under his crotch spewed out thick white steam. Ready to charge.
Zhihu Chi'er is the most first-class fierce general under Niu Fu. The short and thick double guns in his hand weighed a hundred catties. This guy doesn't like cavalry, not only in the Daben camp is a special case, even in the 200,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, it is also a strange flower, fortunately, although Zhihu Chi'er does not like to ride horses, the foot combat is very fierce, even Wenhou Lu Bu dared to fight, although he was defeated several times. However, although this Hu Chi'er was defeated, he was still honored, and his fame was greatly enhanced, and he was able to fight with Lu Bu, the recognized No. 1 fierce general in Xiliang, for twenty moves, before he was picked off with two guns, this guy is indeed not weak.
Siege battle, the soldiers of the Daben battalion turned over and dismounted, and the characteristics of Hu Chier's foot battle were suddenly infinitely magnified. On the contrary, Zhi Hu Chi'er's face remained unchanged, his breathing was not chaotic, and his eyes flashed with monstrous fighting intent. Towards the city of the eldest son, he kept approaching.
There are random arrows shooting head-on, thousands of soldiers of the Daben battalion who are besieging the city not only have to keep up with the footsteps of Hu Chi'er but also have to quickly approach the city wall, waves of people and horses raise their shields to resist the arrows that the defenders of the city rain down, the closer they get to the city wall, they also begin to have casualties, only a distance of dozens of steps was shot dead as many as hundreds, Niu Fu behind him saw this without saying a word, his face was still the same as before, this kind of damage, in the battle of the fortification, is really nothing, the cavalry is not good at attacking the city, although the Daben battalion has repeatedly won the siege, However, this attack on the eldest son city did not even carry basic siege equipment, and only carried some simple ladders to attack, and these injuries were still within Niu Fu's expectations.
Zhi Hu Chi'er looked a little excited, and the short guns in his hands kept shooting down the shuttle arrows to the ground, compared with the ordinary soldiers of the Daben battalion who needed to hold shields, Zhi Hu Chi'er looked much more confident.
"Build a ladder." After paying the casualties of four or five hundred soldiers, Zhihu Chi'er and thousands of soldiers of the Daben battalion finally approached the city wall, but when they heard Zhihu Chi'er let out a loud shout, a group of soldiers carrying simple ladders suddenly quickly put the ladders on the city wall, abandoned the shields in their hands, and began to rush up.
The bloody battle for the city kicked off in an instant, and Zhihu Chi'er took the lead alone, his body like an ape, jumping up quite flexibly.
"Throw the wood." Guo Miao's face was grim, and the real fight was about to begin.
On the city tower, thousands of majestic and state tigers and wolves have raised their waists and threw the thick sasswood under the battlements, and the soldiers of the Daben battalion who were climbing up along the ladder suddenly felt that the top of their heads was dark, and subconsciously looked at it, and the seven souls and six spirits immediately lost two souls.
"It's a sasswood, flash mob."
"Ah~"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way."
A scream was accompanied by a scream, and a thick piece of wood fell head-on, and everyone had to smash a hole, and suddenly the screams were endless, and the casualties of the soldiers of the Daben battalion gradually increased.
This is not over, the corners of Guo Miao's mouth are cold, his eyes are fierce, his arm fell, and he said coldly: "Pour hot oil." ”
A jar of hot vegetable oil was suddenly pushed out, and it was dumped under the battlements very roughly, and the soldiers of the Daben battalion who had not yet escaped from the blow of the sky and the wood were screaming again, this hot vegetable oil was just boiled, and the temperature was definitely one hundred and twenty high.
"Light the oil tank." Guo Miao let out a loud shout again, and the young general behind him, who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, stood behind him like a stone sculpture, not moving at all, just observing Guo Miao's command in battle.
"Boom~"
A ceramic jar full of black crude oil was smashed down, the ceramic jar was shattered instantly, and the viscous black oil contained in it suddenly sputtered out, and the soldiers of the Daben battalion who were facing the hot vegetable oil and thick wood were stunned at first, and subconsciously touched some sticky black crude oil on their necks, a little puzzled, and after a while, a soldier who understood the performance of crude oil let out a frightened scream.
"Hurry up and get out of the way, this black thing will burn when it meets fire." Before the mournful shout fell, more than a dozen ceramic canisters filled with crude oil were smashed, dyeing many soldiers of the Daben battalion into blacks.
"It's late." On the city tower, the corners of Guo Miao's mouth were cold, and dozens of torches burning with raging fire were thrown down in an instant, and with a bang, the flames were instantly amplified, and the screams were heard in an instant, and the soldiers of the Daben camp who were stained with oil on their bodies were suddenly burned to pieces, not only the living people were burned, but even the cloud ladder on the city wall was also burned.
Under the city, although Niu Fu's face still collapsed despite the anticipation of the casualties of such a large city as Changzi County, it was extremely ugly, this Daben camp was his life's work, and it took several years to condense it, and every death was a big injury, and now this is four or five or four, and hundreds of them are killed in battle, and the blow to Niu Fu is tantamount to chopping meat in his heart.
"General, do you want to stop, the casualties are too great." Next to Niu Fu, a general really couldn't stand it, the cavalry was not good at attacking cities, not to mention that medium and large cities like Changzi County did not have complete siege equipment to help, and it was really not easy to capture.
"No return." Niu Fu gritted his teeth and said word by word, he didn't have a choice, Dong Zhuo was very dissatisfied with the impact he had caused in Bingzhou in recent days, look at how comfortable Yuan Shang was in Youzhou, what should he do or what should he do, there is no sense of crisis at all, Dong Xiangguo was extremely dissatisfied, and angrily denounced Niu Fu for being incompetent in court, and a few days later, with the command of the soldiers into Niu Fu's ears, this is the reason why Niu Fu gritted his teeth and prepared to do a big job, according to Dong Zhuo's meaning, it doesn't matter if he sacrifices most of the troops of the Daben battalion, as long as he can force Yuan Shang back from Youzhou, At that time, the Daben battalion will casually replenish the strength to 30,000 troops.
"But...," the general was a little about to speak, but was interrupted by Niu Fu's whip.
"Don't you understand what Ben General says?" Niu Fu's eyes were gloomy, and the horsewhip in his hand struck the general hard, and the big thick eyes stared at the unlucky general coldly.
The unlucky general's heart was cold, he had followed Niu Fu for several years, how could he not know that this person's temperament was uncertain, and he would break out and kill at any time if he was not by the way, and get along with this person, in addition to being cautious, he could only pretend to be a grandson, and he was whipped alive, this general just had his eyelids slightly constricted, his head lowered, and he looked like he was admitting his mistake.
Seeing this, Niu Fu gave up, turned his head to look at the eldest son city, but saw that Zhihu Chi'er had already rushed to the city wall alone with a few generals who were also highly skilled in martial arts.
Zhi Hu Chi'er took the lead alone, and the two guns in his hands swept away the wood that fell head-on, and the wood was at least thirty or forty pounds, but he easily picked it out of the wood, looking like that, there was no trace of reluctance.
"Your grandfather Chi'er is here." Zhihu Chi'er let out an angry shout, like a thunderstorm in the nine heavens, and the burly but somewhat short body suddenly burst out, falling into the battlements heavily, the short gun swept in an instant, and two or three figures flew out upside down, blood splattered, and it was fatal with one blow.
Zhihu Chi'er is a branch of Yuezhihu, whose real name is Chi'er, but in order to show his origin, he mostly calls himself Zhihu Chi'er. (To be continued......)
