Welcome to ——:.

The heart of the army is also the heart of the soldiers, as long as it is the hearts of the people, it is a very subtle thing, when countless deserters brought back the news that Zhangnan County had been attacked by the Sui army, the Xia army camp began to be shrouded in an uneasy atmosphere, and every soldier had something on his mind.

The harassing attacks of the Sui army have been carried out for seven consecutive days, sometimes during the day, sometimes at night, trebuchets, stone cannons, bed crossbows, and all kinds of long-range weapons have appeared one after another, but the scale is not large, and after a long time, both sides have a trace of fatigue.

In the camp of the Xia army, the tents within 100 steps of the board wall have been dismantled, and the Xia army has been able to skillfully deal with the Sui army's fire oil attack, and they found that the most effective way to extinguish the fire is not water, but sand and soaked bedding.

When the oil burned, a large amount of sand was covered first, and the soldiers could easily extinguish the fire by rushing up with wet bedding, and the Sui army's myth of the oil was shattered, and the soldiers who participated in the defense were really happy to find this discovery.

But Dou Jiande didn't feel the slightest joy, the attack on Zhangnan County brought him a heavy blow, and he was more worried that his back road had been cut off by the Sui army, and at the same time, the defeat in the south also had a great impact on his military morale.

At night, Dou Jiande walked alone in the camp with his hands behind his back, followed by more than a dozen guards.

Dou Jiande stopped walking past a large tent, which was lit by a dim oil lamp, and only one soldier was arranging his bedding.

"What about the other brothers?" Dou Jiande walked in and asked.

"Everyone else is on the fence, I was slightly injured yesterday, and the captain allowed me to rest for a day."

In the darkness, the young soldier did not see the appearance of the person who came, he thought it was a team leader or brigade commander, so he replied casually.

But when Dou Jiande approached, he suddenly recognized it, and he was so frightened that he knelt down all of a sudden, "The little soldier is rude, please forgive the prince!" ”

Dou Jiande smiled gently. "Don't be afraid, get up!"

He sat down on the edge of the bed, and when he saw that the soldier was quite young, he smiled and asked, "What is your name?" Where are you from? How old is it? ”

The soldier stood aside and said timidly: "The soldier's name is Wu Shiyilang, a native of Wucheng County, Qinghe County, and he is thirteen years old this year. ”

"Huh! Wucheng County is not far from my hometown! Did you join the army at the age of thirteen? Dou Jiande asked with some surprise.

The soldier bit his lip, not daring to say that he had been forcibly captured, he lowered his head and said nothing.

Dou Jiande kind of understood. He glanced at the soldier's bed again. Seeing that it was neatly packed, the bedding was still tied with rope, and there was a small cloth bag next to it. It's stuffed with stuff.

Dou Jiande was stunned, "What are you doing when you pack up your things?" ”

The soldier said after a while: "Everyone said that they might have to go home." So I'll pack it up first. ”

Dou Jiande's face suddenly showed a gloomy color, it turned out that it was convenient when he was about to flee for his life, and then looked at the other beds, they were also packed up, and he could escape with his things at any time, he was just about to have a seizure, and thought that this soldier was still a teenager, so he held his breath in his heart, stood up and walked out.

Dou Jiande walked out of the barracks. The heart is extremely depressed, the soldiers are ready to flee, and they have no fighting spirit, how can this battle be fought?

He walked worriedly towards the big tent of the Chinese army, and after a few steps he stopped, and listened attentively, and he heard. There are soldiers playing the bamboo flute, and the sound of the flute is whimpering, like crying, echoing in the sky above the camp, desolate and tactful. The sound of the flute was full of longing for their hometown, and many soldiers were sitting on the grass. Back to back, listen quietly.

Dou Jiande was a little stunned......

In the camp of the Sui army, dozens of generals gathered together, Yang Yuanqing wore a golden helmet, dressed in bright light armor, his eyes were bright and sharp, he sat on the handsome seat and glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "Breaking the enemy is tonight, tonight the enemy formation is divided into two lines, the north and south lines, the northern army is led by Sima Li Jing as the main general, Yang Sien and Yang Wei are the deputy generals, leading the army to break through with 30,000!" ”

Li Jing stepped forward to receive the order, "The humble position will not disappoint the manager!" ”

Yang Yuanqing looked at Qin Qiong again, "The Southern Army is led by General Qin Qiong as the main general, Pei Xingyan and Xue Wanche as deputy generals, and they also led an army of 30,000 to break through. ”

Qin Qiong stepped forward and bowed and clenched his fists, "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Yang Yuanqing's eyes fell on Luo Shixin, Luo Shixin's arrow wound was almost healed, and he had been begging to see Yang Yuanqing for the past two days, hoping to get the opportunity to fight.

Luo Shixin saw that all the major generals had been tasked with the task, but he was left aside, and his heart was quite uncomfortable, suddenly, Yang Yuanqing looked at him, his heart suddenly pounded, and a look of extreme anticipation shot out of his eyes.

"Where is General Luo Shixin?"

Luo Shixin was overjoyed, stepped forward and hugged his fists, "The end will be!" ”

"General Luo, I will appoint you as the main general of support, Cheng Yanjin as the deputy general, and the two of you can lead 20,000 people as peripheral assistance to support the two breakthrough armies at any time."

Although it is a backup, it is better than sitting in a large camp to watch the battle, Luo Shixin said energetically: "The last general will receive the order!" ”

There was also a voice like Cheng biting a golden gong next to him, "Old Cheng takes the order!" ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, although his expression was very serious, but as soon as his voice appeared, everyone couldn't help but want to laugh, and the atmosphere of the big tent suddenly became relaxed.

Yang Yuanqing stood up, the big tent was quiet for a moment, and he said to everyone in a deep voice: "Tonight is a night battle, the node of the attack is commanded by my drums, and finally I will say one more thing, after defeating the enemy army, try to kill as little as possible, and judge military merits by the number of prisoners of war!" ”

The generals agreed in unison, "Obey!" ”……

'Boom! Boom! Boom! ’

With the rhythmic sound of drums, the north camp gate and the south camp gate of the Sui army slowly opened at the same time, and the heavy trebuchets were pulled out by dozens of oxen, and there was a cavalry team on each side to escort them, and more than 100 infantry lined up to follow behind, followed by a group of murderous cavalry, and the timing of the usual harassing attack was exactly the same.

The difference was that this time it was a double attack, with thirty trebuchets of 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry each from the south and north at the same time, and the two attacking armies were five miles apart.

But there was also a subtlety, that is, the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry hidden in the cavalry team, which were hidden by the thick darkness of the night, and from the board wall, there was only a dark field of cavalry.

The seven-day offensive had made Dou Jiande's army a little tired and numb, and they had gradually formed a system in which 10,000 men responded each time, and each army took turns with each other.

Tonight, when the drums of the Sui army camp sounded, 10,000 troops immediately entered the response area, but the Xia army soon discovered that something was wrong with usual. Tonight, the Sui army turned out to be attacking from north to south at the same time, and a captain quickly rushed to report to General Fan Yuan.

This is the news that surprised Fan Yuan, he rode his horse and galloped to the side of the wall, and looked out of the wall for a moment, he felt that the Sui army today did not have the kind of imposing demonstration in the past, but was a little low-key, and the cavalry followed from a distance, which seemed a little secretive. The experience of years of conquest gave him a sense of foreboding.

He immediately got off the wall. Turned over and ran towards the Chinese army, and ran to Dou Jiande's big tent for a while, just in time to see Dou Jiande standing in front of the tent door and staring into the distance. He also seemed to hear the drums coming from the Sui camp.

"Lord Wang!"

Fan Yuan jumped off and immediately stepped forward to report, "Lord Qiqi, tonight the Sui army dispatched two attacking armies, one in the south and one in the north. ”

Dou Jiande was a little restless tonight. Although he was frustrated by the low morale of the soldiers and their lack of intention to fight, it was more important that the Sui army's attack on Zhangnan made him seem to understand something.

The Sui army has not fought in the past ten days, isn't it just waiting to occupy Zhangnan? So, after occupying Zhangnan County, is it the moment for them to launch a general offensive?

Fan Yuan's report made Dou Jiande a spirit, and the abnormal movement of the Sui army made him immediately vigilant in his heart, "Take me to see!" ”

Dou Jiande was escorted by hundreds of personal soldiers. Quickly rode his horse in the direction of the banqiang, and soon, he also boarded the banqiang, staring at the slowly approaching Sui army.

Dou Jiande didn't see anything abnormal, but a lieutenant next to him said, "Lord Wang, the position of the trebuchet has moved back this time." ”

Only then did Dou Jiande realize that the position of the trebuchet was indeed about a hundred steps back from usual, and he looked back sharply. Check the usual landing point of the fireball, which is exactly about 100 steps away from the board wall.

Dou Jiande suddenly understood that the Sui army was going to attack the board wall, and he shouted, "Not good!" ”

Immediately shouted to Fan Yuan: "This is the official attack of the Sui army. Immediately transfer 50,000 troops to block the attack points in the north and south! ”

A chill arose in Dou Jiande's heart, which made him tremble......

On the high platform of the Sui army camp. Yang Yuanqing was quietly watching the advance of the two Sui armies, the cavalry stopped five hundred paces away, the heavy trebuchet continued to move forward, and also stopped four hundred paces, some soldiers quickly led the cattle back to the camp, others fixed trebuchets.

A total of sixty trebuchets in the north and south were positioned one after another, and two soldiers and cavalry rushed from the north and south directions one after another, and reported under the high platform, "Report to the chief, the northern army is in place!" ”

"Report to the chief, the Southern Army is in place!"

Although Li Jing and Qin Qiong will be under their own command in specific battles, some nodes of joint attack and some places that need to cooperate with each other still need to be commanded by Yang Yuanqing.

Yang Yuanqing nodded, and immediately ordered: "Start attacking!" ”

A big man beside him raised his big drumstick and slammed it into the drum.

"Boom-"

A dull drum beat came from the camp of the Sui army, which was transmitted especially far away at night, and this was the order for the beginning of the offensive......

The heavy trebuchet has been modified, the winch has been changed to a rear-mounted type, and huge defensive plates are installed on both sides of the trebuchet, which is a three-inch back wooden plank, covered with a layer of iron sheet and five layers of cooked cowhide, which can defend against the opponent's bed crossbow attacks and protect the Sui soldiers operating the trebuchet.

The winch began to creak and wring, the long arm was pulled down, and the three soldiers put a boulder weighing nearly 100 catties into the throwing iron bucket, after seven days of training, the Sui soldiers had mastered the strength and distance of the trebuchet, and they knew how to accurately hit the board wall.

"Put!"

A brigade commander shouted, and the soldiers released the handle of the winch at the same time, and the winch turned, and the long arm threw the boulder violently.

Dozens of boulders soared into the air almost simultaneously, arcing through the night, smashing violently at the two-foot-high wall panel four hundred paces away.

The final battle is on the verge of breaking out......
