Chapter 4: The Courage of the Overlord
Luo Shixin's heart was about to jump out of his mouth, and he couldn't breathe nervously.
He has seen this kind of siege scene on TV no less than a thousand times, and he has seen thousands of bloody blockbusters, but no matter how real and terrifying the rendered footage is, it can't compare to this scene in front of him......
A fake is a fake after all!
But at this moment, the facts presented in front of Luo Shixin were indeed bloody, and one by one the lives fell in front of him forever with his "arrow".
"General be careful!"
In a flash of cold light, the guard on Luo Shixin's side slashed at the dead soldier who was exposing his head along the ladder.
The knife slashed through the middle of the head, and the blade got stuck deep in the skull......
Crimson blood, white brain plasma rushed out, splashing Luo Shixin's face was red and white, the bloody breath of brain plasma and blood instantly filled the entire nasal cavity, and the feeling of nausea and nausea came up again.
Luo Shixin Huo Ran woke up, this is a real battlefield, either you die or I die......
The meaning of survival overwhelms fear and discomfort!
"Ahh With a loud roar, Luo Shixin was red-eyed, raised his iron spear and smashed it at a dead soldier who had already gone to the city and was standing on the battlements with a wooden shield in his hand.
The dead man reacted very quickly, and the wooden shield was on his chest.
"Poof!"
The impact of the iron spear and wooden shield made a slight noise, a sound that could not be heard at all on the battlefield.
It's not that the power is too small, but the power is too huge, and the crushing force can't be supported by the wooden shield at all, so it shatters into six or seven pieces like hitting hard paper. The iron spear castrated and smashed into the chest of the man who had died in the city. Like playing golf, the body of the dead man shot out like a cannonball and fell into the open space fifty meters away.
Luo Shixin was already red-eyed, and when he saw the soldiers wearing the armor of the Handong Army, he picked up the iron spear and smashed it. He had no skill, only pure strength. Even so, no one can stop him from being a united enemy, and he will drop ten times with one force, which is vividly reflected in front of him.
**********
In the follow-up formation of the Handong Army, there was a great famous general who was sitting leisurely near the river beach chatting and farting with the soldiers beside him, his name was Su Dingfang. Su Dingfang Jizhou Wuyi people, fierce and powerful, courageous, fifteen years old with his father to fight, the first to enter the battle, conquer everything, is Liu Heimin's henchman Gao Yaxian's adopted son, led the most elite siege army of the Eastern Han Army. He was in charge of the fourth wave of the offensive, and he didn't need them for a short time to recharge in various ways.
"Grandma, how can such a small city not be defeated? We didn't spend so much effort to fight Zhaozhou. A soldier listened to the earth-shattering war drums and sighed, there is also a name for Handan in Zhaozhou, west of the Taihang Mountains, east of the North China Plain is the economic center of Hebei, the capital of Zhao in the past, the city is high and the wall is thick. At that time, the Tang army faced Liu Heimin's army and was defeated again and again, and it was defeated three times. Not many people take the siege seriously for the small water. Seven days earlier, they had been pointing at the figures in the city, talking and shouting loudly, not so much fighting as watching a play. Seven days later, the same people did not have the heart to watch the play, and they were physically and mentally exhausted: although after a night's rest,
Su Dingfang looked at the city wall and said excitedly: "Don't worry, compare the enemy's strength, and the water city should be able to go down today." He said it easily, but he had other thoughts in his heart. It's not that I care about Luo Shixin, Luo Shixin's martial arts, in these seven days and seven nights, he has already understood, but except for Wu Yong, there is nothing to fear.
Although he is young, he faintly has the strategic vision of a famous general, unlike the soldiers and pawns next to him, who are so short-sighted and blind.
If the city had been taken earlier, the Eastern Han Army would still have the capital to fight Li Tang, but what if it was taken now?
They have been eight whole days late, in those eight days. Li Shimin divided his troops to capture Xingzhou and Jingzhou in the north of Zhaozhou, and Luo Yi recovered the northern prefectures and counties of Hebei, completing the strategic intention of encircling the Handong Army. The eloquent Li Shimin joined forces with the brave and combative Luo Yi, and the momentum was like a rainbow. On the other hand, the Han Eastern Army let a small water city bite and couldn't move.
The time, place and people are favorable, and they are all biased towards Li Tang, how can this battle be fought?
"The city is going to be broken!" A soldier suddenly shouted, pulling Su Dingfang's thoughts back.
Su Dingfang looked in the direction of the water, and there were more than ten dead soldiers who climbed the city to climb the city wall. He knows the shape of the city well, from the very beginning there were only five hundred, but the Handong army had thirty or forty thousand people, and the city was able to hold on, of course, because of Luo Shixin's unparalleled bravery, a certain amount of Cheng dΓΉ was still due to the wind and snow weather. The wind and snow hindered Li Tang's reinforcements, and it also caused great trouble to the Han Eastern army besieging the city.
Now that the wind and snow have stopped, after nearly seven days and seven nights of consumption, there are less than 100 soldiers and horses in the city.
Su Dingfang no longer paid attention to the city of Zhushui, and put his mind on another place: at the same time that the Han Eastern Army ordered the attack on the city of Zhushui, Li Tang also launched an offensive to rescue the Handong army on the north bank of the city, and it is said that the Tang army was commanded by Li Shimin in person, and Qin Shubao personally led his troops to cross the river to break the formation. With such a gorgeous combination, I don't know if King Handong can resist it.
"Look!" The sudden exclamations of the surrounding soldiers prompted Su Dingfang to turn his head and look.
I saw two dead soldiers who had climbed the city dragging their bloody tails and falling from the city with their hands dancing. This is followed by the third, fourth...... After a few efforts, the Handong soldiers who rushed to the city wall were all turned into corpses and thrown off the city wall.
The tall, thin but majestic body on the head of the city appeared in Su Dingfang's eyes again, and he couldn't help but sigh: "The courage of the overlord is nothing more than this." β
Seeing that the offensive was showing signs of weakening, he ran to Wang Xiaohu in a few big strides and said, "General, there are only a hundred soldiers in the city, and it all depends on Luo Shixin's personal bravery. One person's strength can't stop thousands of troops, so it's better to send more people and horses to press around and climb the city, even if Luo Shixin resurrects the overlord, he will be unable to support it alone. β
Wang Xiaohu also felt justified and laughed, "Ben Jiang also has this intention, let the second team and the third team press together, Lao Tzu will not believe it, and three thousand people will not be able to take down a hundred of them." With a snap of the whip, the two echelons that had been waiting for a long time began to assemble towards the city.
The army of 2,000 people looked mighty in front of the small city of Lishui.
Luo Shixin found a feeling of invincibility in the dead soldiers who climbed the city one by one, and became more and more bold, rushing and killing, which once again drove the morale of the Tang army.
The Tang army was well-trained, and its morale was boosted, and without his order, he spontaneously put down the rolling logs and stones, and used the rejection pole to knock down the ladder, and stubbornly held the first pass.
Looking at the Handong army swarming up in the distance, Luo Shixin looked at the lime that had already been prepared, and said in his heart: "It's time to make a killer move!" β
