Chapter 67: The Battle of Chungju
"What? Liang Zhengxiong's army was wiped out? ”
In the city of Chungju, the army of the crane horse and the infantry commanded the army of An Siqian.
Andrew knelt and was reporting: "Father-in-law, the Nanping Black Flag Guard is indeed like a divine help, each person throws out a kind of thing in his hand, such as a divine thunder in the sky, one can kill a piece, and four thousand soldiers were killed by them in less than half an hour." Liang Zhengxiong was indeed brave, seeing that the defeat was decided, he also led a thousand reserves to charge the Black Flag Guard, and told the child to pass on the battle situation to his father-in-law before the charge, so that the father-in-law could prepare early. The child struggled to escape ...... life. ”
An Siqian naturally understands the nature of his righteous son, and if he doesn't speak of the Black Flag Guard more powerfully, how can he get rid of it. Looking at this uncompetitive bastard, An Siqian really wanted to cut him directly with a knife, but he hadn't asked about the battle situation yet.
So he asked: "From the beginning, how did Liang Zhengxiong command?" There is no need to mistake or omit a word, to be honest, if there is half a lie, a certain person will directly cut you this waste. ”
After Andrew re-described how Liang Zhengxiong set up the formation, how the Shu army collapsed, and how Liang Zhengxiong charged after the most rear, he recounted it word for word.
Andrew cried: "The child is telling the truth, if there is half a lie, I am willing to receive the military law of the righteous father." ”
An Siqian is a little convinced, since Liang Zhengxiong is dead, he naturally died in battle, and An Siqian has absolute trust in Liang Zhengxiong's character. Is the Black Flag Guard really that powerful?
"Thou shalt step aside, and wait for a certain investigation to be clear, if you dare to deceive, a certain will not be spared."
Andrew finally begged for his life, and hurriedly kowtowed and replied: "What the child said is indeed the truth, thank the righteous father for not killing him, and the child will retire." He retreated in a panic.
But what to do with the more than 500 defeated troops who have fled back from the battlefield now?
Killing all of them naturally can't be done, the big war is ahead, and the slaughter of so many Shu troops is only afraid that it will be inappropriate, and according to Andelu's words, the defeat in this battle is not Liang Zhengxiong's ineffective operation, it's just that the rout soldiers are concentrated in the military camp to be detained, and let's talk about it after the war.
At the same time, he ordered the messenger to report to the Emperor of Shu and ask for support.
Now it's not a matter of face, it's a question of whether Chungju City can be defended, and although you can't escape being questioned by the emperor for help, it's better than losing Chungju and being beheaded.
An Siqian thought to himself, no matter whether it is true or not, he is guarding this Zhongzhou City, there are still 5,000 troops, and the city has all the food and grass, no matter how to defend the city, there should be no problem, as long as he holds on until the reinforcements arrive, and then he will act at the opportunity.
But An Siqian definitely didn't expect that his precious son and his own soldiers, as well as more than 500 defeated soldiers, had already spread the feat of how the Black Flag Guard was like a god, and even went down to Kui Wan Erzhou and killed more than 10,000 Shu troops in two days to the military camp in the city, this fear spread like a plague, and the whole city Shu army was in turmoil in just one night.
Jin Tianfu three years of May twenty-six.
The siege began.
Chungju is a medium-sized city with high and strong walls.
The city tower is far taller and more spacious than Wanzhou City.
Naturally, the number of defenders that can be accommodated will be larger.
Wuji has never been so shocked as today, the black flag guards gathered fifty zhang away from the city gate, the arrows on the city wall have been overwhelming, the black pressure is overwhelming, the arrow slowly becomes larger from a point in the eye, there is a feeling that the arrow is not flying but rushing up against the arrow.
At this time, if you throw a watermelon into the air, it must have been pierced by more than a dozen arrows and torn apart before it hits the ground. Although the arrows were not lethal until they reached thirty feet away, the defenders of the city did not seem to care about the waste of the massive number of arrows, and the arrows continued to cover the sky.
Baili Wuji ordered the first attack to begin.
Yu Cunzhong's troops made a feint attack on the east gate, and Ma Jiyun's troops attacked the north gate with gunpowder carts, and Yunyang's troops stayed behind as a reserve.
This attack was undoubtedly futile, and the frontal feint did not last long, and after paying more than a dozen people killed and wounded by arrows, they retreated, and the same happened to Ma Jiyun's department.
After testing the firepower of the Shu army defending the city.
Baili Wuji adjusted the deployment, so that the Yunyang Department feinted to attack the north gate, there was only one requirement, it must be uninterrupted to attack and attract part of the combat strength of the defenders.
Yu Cunzhong's troops and Ma Jiyun's troops concentrated on attacking the east gate, striving to break through.
Baili Wuji understands that in this era, there are very few successful siege cases, and the city is basically broken by surrendering after eating the food in the city or coaxing in the city. The lack of siege equipment and goal-breaking methods is the most important reason.
The second siege began.
After the attack of the Yunyang Ministry.
Baili Wuji ordered the sword and shield soldiers of Yu and Ma Erbu to charge with shields and cover the advance of eight gunpowder carts.
This time, the gunpowder car was modified again.
Drawing on the experience of the previous time, the planks in front of him were raised by one foot, the four wheels were also raised a little, and the four wheels were wrapped in oil-soaked cooked cowhide to strengthen the firmness, which means that as long as the obstacle is not higher than one foot, the car can be pushed through in a short time.
At the same time, Baili Wuji ordered the whole army to move forward fifteen zhang, about thirty-five zhang away from the city gate, still outside the effective range of the bow and arrow.
The sword and shield soldiers moved forward slowly, and the large shield was densely filled with arrows, which also made the weight of the large shield a lot heavier.
That's not the most important thing.
Due to the overwhelming influx of arrows.
Quite a few of the Swords and Shields were shot in the foot and fell to the ground, and then were shot in other parts by arrows.
The cart moved forward slowly, and locust-like arrows were fired at the cart, some of which had even pierced through the wet and were pierced into the planks, and the cart moved forward tenaciously until it stopped three feet from the city gate, as the defenders on the tower began to throw stones.
Because the Chungju Castle Tower was spacious and the defenders were dense, the thrown stones instantly covered the ground.
Some have even been built on top of another piece.
The way to the powder cart was blocked.
And this time, the sixteen Black Flag Guards violated the rules again.
They didn't stop there.
Everyone knew that if it weren't for the rocks blocking the way, they would have been blown to pieces.
Sacrifice for righteousness.
On the battlefield it is like a contagion.
As long as someone sets an example.
There are people who come and follow suit.
The cohesion of role models is strong.
Seeing that the gunpowder cart was blocked, Baili Wuji ordered the horse shield soldiers and the gunpowder cart to retreat.
The sword and shield soldiers began to retreat.
But the Black Flag Guards were surprised to find that the eight powder carts were still in place.
As we all know, they ...... Can't come back.
The soldiers of the Shu army in the city seemed to have understood something.
All the arrows were hailed to eight gunpowder carts.
The arrows were so dense that they were like a seamless iron plate crashing into the powder cart one by one.
If it weren't for the wetness on the wooden planks, the powder cart and the soldiers behind it would have been torn to pieces.
