~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Under the city of Pengze, the army pressed the border, tens of thousands of troops, arranged in layers: soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, servants, and a large number of armored or unarmored cavalry in the rear and on both sides. The armor is dazzling, the long thorns are like a forest, this kind of coercion, since Peng Ze founded the city, the defenders of the past dynasties have never encountered it, this time Han Dang and Zhu Zhi are considered bad luck.
At this moment, Ma Han was sitting on the green cover car, surrounded by layers of dragons and wolves. Ma Han was dressed in gold armor, sat on his knees, and shouted to the city head word by word. Due to the distance, his shouts will be transmitted by ten soldiers with loud voices, resounding in front of the battle.
"Han Yigong, who was also born in Liaoxi, is from the same source as us, why do you mean to fight each other? I am rebelling for the Son of Heaven, for the peace of the world, for the unification of the four seas, and for the Han Dynasty! As the Lu Lu pointed out, the group of ugliness flew away. Do you want to be obedient? Rebellious? ”
Ma Han's words were quite sharp, and every sentence was heart-wrenching, but if Han Dang didn't answer, once he replied, it would be wrong to say anything.
Han Dang was very wise and didn't answer, but not speaking is acquiescence, and acquiescence is admitting the crime, which is of course absolutely impossible. So, someone made an urgent public relations and came forward instead.
"Ma Jinglong, Yigong's cheek is injured and he can't speak, so I, Zhu Zhi, will answer on my behalf. As a general, you don't want to help the Son of Heaven. Revitalize the dynasty, eradicate traitors, and revitalize the Han Dynasty. On the contrary, for his own selfishness, he provoked for no reason, made a big move, and ruined the lives of Jiangdong. How can such an act be worthy of being the handsome man in the world? "On the gate tower of the city, a middle-aged man in a white robe standing side by side with Han Dang was impassioned," Han Yigong. Served the Lord Wu for three generations, worked bravely and conscientiously. Unswerving, heaven and earth can be learned. Such a loyal minister, for obedience? For the reverse? ”
Bang Bang Bang! Ma Han clapped his hands lightly: "What a Zhu Junli, he is really good at speaking." But whatever you can say. It is also impossible to deny the fact that Dahan has been in turmoil for many years because of ambitious people such as Dahan. The lord of the feet, Fang is for his own selfishness, not only refuses to surrender, but also challenges the fire, and the forces attack each other, so today's Jiangdong and Jiangxia. With such endless battles, Li Shu was displaced, and his military strength was difficult. Ten rooms and nine emptiness, white bones are exposed...... Serve the old master. Ignoring the righteousness, only caring about the small sections, ignoring the great loyalty. Zhu Junli, Han Yigong, is this the ambition of you? ”
Zhu Zhi looked up to the sky and laughed: "The general's tongue is so dexterous, it is unbelievable that it starts from the army. But Ren Er said it wildly, and he couldn't ignore one fact - under the feet of the army, he was stepping on the soil of Jiangdong, provoking the flames of war, and who was the person who used the sword in vain? If it is revealed, the sky can learn from it. ”
"Zhu Junli, you are wrong, this is not the land of Jiangdong, but the land of the Han Dynasty. I am the general of the Han Dynasty, and I am leading the army of the Han Dynasty, and there is nowhere to go in the land of the Han Dynasty; No one is a thief of the great man. Ma Han's clothes and armor shook and slammed, "The good words are exhausted, but they are obsessed, since the two of them have an iron heart to go to the black, then burn the jade of this Pengze City and perish together!" ”
The persuasion is ineffective, Zhu Han's heart is like an iron stone, and if he can't do it with a three-inch tongue, then he can only go to a three-foot sword.
Ma Han handed over the command to the deputy marshal Le Jin, who commanded the attack with full authority, and then patted the chariot and said to Shi Tianbao, who acted as the royal hand: "Go, go back." ”
"Back to ...... Where? ”
"Go back to camp and sleep."
The first thing Le Jin did after receiving the order was to give a brazen order: "Trebuchet, prepare." ”
The three hundred auxiliaries pulled the huge baffle in the array, and the baffle collapsed with a bang, revealing the trebuchet that had already been assembled. Peng Zechengtou exclaimed......
With the earth-shattering sound of artillery strikes, Ma Han really fell asleep in the camp of the water village.
……
In the evening, Ma Han was woken up by Aso: "General, the time has come." ”
With just one call, Ma Han quickly turned from a sleeping state to a conscious state, propped himself up from the couch, lifted the thin blanket, and asked, "How is the siege going?" ”
Asu presented a battle report: "This was sent by General Le half an hour ago. ”
Ma Han took a look and smiled: "Yes, the outer city of Pengze's north gate has been destroyed, the Jiangdong army has retreated into the inner city, the morale has collapsed, and the inner city is just around the corner." ”
Shi Tianbao lifted the curtain and entered the account, his face was flushed with excitement, and he pointed his fingers: "It's amazing!" General, didn't you see it! The flying stones, covering the sky and the sun; The sound of stones was so loud that it almost deafened the ears; The boulder smashed into the city, and all the battlements, the pheasants, and the women's walls were gone. The entire Pengze North City was smashed into mud and dust, and I couldn't see anything clearly, only I heard endless screams, and even the flagpole at the head of the city was discounted; Finally, there was a bang......"
Shi Tianbao had never participated in the battle of Yecheng, and this was the first time he had witnessed the power of trebuchets, and the feeling could only be described as shocking, so that after a whole hour of artillery strikes, he was still immersed in excitement.
Well, Ma Han didn't have the patience to play tug-of-war with Zhu Zhi and Han Dang, he didn't have time, and he couldn't afford to spend his troops. This time, he mobilized fifty trebuchets and two thousand stone projectiles. Before the war, Le Jin and other generals were summoned, and his instructions were simple and clear: "Pile up all the 100,000 catties of stones on the head of Pengze City, and let me see if Pengze's city wall is as hard as Zhu Zhi's tone." ”
Pengze is just an ordinary small county town, although it has been repaired and increased by Zhu and Han in recent times, no matter how much it is repaired, it cannot be compared with a big city like Yecheng. Even Yecheng couldn't withstand the hail of stone bullets, not to mention Peng Ze.
Under the indiscriminate bombardment of trebuchets, it only took half an hour for the outer city of Pengze to collapse, and the guards at the head of the city ...... Anyway, when the dragon wolf army landed on the ruins, there was no one who could move. And it is rumored that when Zhu Zhi was evacuating the gatehouse in a hurry, he was seriously injured and dying due to the collapse of the pillar broken by a stone bullet...... The facts have yet to be confirmed, and it is an indisputable fact that half an hour ago, the foothold of the white-robed general, who had made a generous statement, is now only a ruined wall.
Look at this frame, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest, Peng Ze will go. Break Peng Ze on the third day. Smash the first level arranged by Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, I believe it will give these two people a slap in the face. Well, you can't be satisfied with a quick capture of Peng Ze. It must be annihilated. Zhu Zhi, Han Dang, He Qi, Sun He, and their 5,000 soldiers and more than 100 boats, not a single one of them should be let go.
"Let's go, it's time for us to get to work." Ma Han greeted and came out.
By this time, it was completely dark. The camp was lit up on all sides.
Ma Han slept during the war, of course, not pretending. In addition to showing confidence, there was a practical need - he probably wouldn't have a chance to sleep tonight. Because eight or nine times out of ten, there will be uninvited guests who also can't sleep at the door, and he wants to give the other party a big "surprise".
At the beginning of March, the new moon is dark and windy. There's still a chill in the air. Especially on the vast river, the wind is even stronger.
Ma Han, Asu, Shi Tianbao, Tienu, Gu Qi, etc. were all born in bitter cold places, and they didn't pay attention to this cold at all. It's Chen Dao, who has also stayed in Huainan and Henan for a long time, and when he came to this Jiangdong, no matter how cold it is, it's nothing.
The horseman rode on an ordinary sill, and there were a hundred general guards on board. Fifty sailors, twenty boatmen. The big ship was carrying about a hundred of them. Drive to the right of the river, patrol back and forth at the entrances of the Yangtze River and Peng Lize.
Ma Han, a dignified general, robbed the scout of his job, which was also a helpless move. The opponent is not an ordinary person, Sun He is not enough, that He Qi is a number of generals in Jiangdong, who has repeatedly defeated Fujian Shanyue, and is very prestigious among Shanyue people. Judging from this person's past achievements, he is both brave and strategic, and he is a mountain leopard, once he comes, he will definitely bite something. Since this period, Li Dian and Gan Ning have searched for this person in an attempt to fight a decisive battle, but they have not been able to get it, which can be seen.
The time is over, and the visitors arrive as scheduled. At the mouth of the lake in the northernmost part of Peng Lize, ghostly ships appeared.
When the ship first appeared, the patrol boat was heading south, and it was not noticed until half an hour later, when the patrol boat returned. The night was dark and the wind was high, and Ma Han could spot the enemy ship from a kilometer away, while the enemy was blind, and he did not know that his hiding had been exposed, which was the advantage of the general as a scout.
Ma Han counted carefully, there were fifty-four large and small ships, and a total of 1,877 people, and they counted the above.
"Eagle!" As soon as Ma Han gave the order, he suddenly raised his hand, "Wait." ”
The situation was a little wrong, after these fifty-four ships gathered at the mouth of the lake, they did not rush directly to the water village, but went north along the right bank of the river, and only thirty boats went, and half of them remained unmoved.
Ma Han thought for a while, and decisively ordered: "Lean on Jiangzuo, keep up." ”
Under Ma Han's instructions, the patrol boat kept a distance of more than one kilometer from the stern boat of the fleet, and kept a constant monitor if it left the fleet. Although the enemy also sent a guard ship, the cordon was only placed half a mile away at most, and it was enough to guard against one ship of reconnaissance and patrol boats, but it was far from enough for Ma Han.
This one, just thirty miles, there was a faint shout of killing from the water village behind him. The horses were unmoved, the enemy ships attacked head-on, and in the face of the tight defense of the water village, they would not take advantage of anything, and it was important to figure out what the fleet wanted. After following for five miles, he finally saw the enemy fleet crossing the river, and after reaching the center of the river, the course was deviated, and he turned around and headed south at full speed.
"What a He Qi, he actually came to this hand!" Ma Han laughed, if he didn't know what He Qi had in mind at this time, it would really be in vain to be the commander.
The night attack was not a surprise attack, because the dragon and wolf army knew that the enemy army would come, and He Qi and Sun He also knew that the enemy knew that they would come, but they had no choice but to attack, otherwise after dawn, they would not know if Peng Ze was still in their hands. In this situation, knowing that the enemy army was prepared, but had to attack, He and Sun Er used half of the boat as bait with the courage of a strong man to break his wrist, and used a hard bar to attract the dragon and wolf army, and then attacked from the side.
This tactic is similar to that of cavalry in the field, which uses mobility to go around the distance and take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to surprise the enemy's flank. This is a trick often played by dragon and wolf warriors, but I didn't expect He Qi to use it in water battles.
"Fly the eagle! Go around the river to the right and block the mouth of the lake. ”
Ma Han did not participate in the battle, and as a general, there was no need to rush to the front line in everything. He believed that after learning of the enemy's intentions, Le Jin, Li Dian, and Gan Ning would make He Qi and Sun He suffer.
When the patrol boat of Ma Hao was about to reach the mouth of the lake, he saw a boat coming from the opposite side, and in the darkness, he could not distinguish between friend and foe, but only ordered to be on guard.
At the moment when the two ships staggered by, the two large dead wind lamps hanging in front of the hatch shone brightly, and the people on both ships instinctively looked at each other.
The iron slave suddenly stretched out his fingers the thickness of a turnip, pointing directly at the man standing on the bow of the ship: "He...... He's Han Dang! ”
Tie Nu is the tallest person in the tens of thousands of dragon and wolf army, he is tall and strong, and he has a big voice, he is one of the ten people who shout during the day, and because of his height advantage, he is specially arranged to stand in the front. Therefore, he is the one who has the best chance to see Han Dang standing on the gatehouse.
The iron slave's voice was loud, and in the various noises of the wind whistling and the waves crashing on the boat, it could also be clearly transmitted to the other party's boat.
The general standing at the bow of the ship looked back in surprise - half of his face was wrapped in gauze, and half of his face was bearded like a halberd, but it was not Han Dang.
When Han Dang turned his head, he was shocked to find that a young general at the bow of the opposite ship was picking up his bow and drawing arrows, and he also hurriedly drew his bow and arrows. As soon as the arrow was on the string, he heard a violent sound of "buzzing", and a sword in front of him was pierced by an arrow from the neck, and the arrow was still vigorous, and it made a muffled sound and hit the forehead.
Han Dang's body froze, and the arrow in his hand could no longer be shot, and he hissed, "You...... Who is it? ”
"General Ma Han!" Ma Han said in a loud voice, "Died under the arrows of a certain bloody bow and wolf, and you can be blinded under your feet." ”
Han Dang didn't blink, but his eyes widened. With a click, the bow fell to the ground, and the body leaned and fell straight into the heart of the river. Poof! The waves rolled, the waves surged, and disappeared. (To be continued......)
