Yanmen County. Fanshi County.
Under the county seat of Fanshi, Liu Wu Zhou's army, wearing sheepskin jackets, surrounded the city.
Gao Chu, the governor of Yanmen County, looked at the wolf-headed Daxu who was Dingyang Khan, and knew that it was Liu Wuzhou himself who came to the city.
Yesterday, Liu Wuzhou fought fiercely for one day and pulled out Lao County, the soldiers were very sharp, and after a day of rest, they turned to attack Fanshi County, and then the troops came to the city. Now for Gao Chu, Fanshi County is an important town in Yanmen, he has been operating for a long time, and has repelled Liu Wuzhou under this city several times, if this city is lost, then the entire Yanmen can not be protected.
Now Liu Wuzhou's army is gathered, and he is determined to win.
However, Wang Zhibian, the deputy governor of Yanmen, led 300 township soldiers to garrison Wutai County, and he was unable to protect himself, and he was unable to support Fanshi County at all, and Lingqiu County had no news since he heard that there were Mayi cavalry nearby. Lingqiu County is where the Flying Fox Road is located, and it is the only way for Shanggu County reinforcements to enter Yanmen County.
Liu Wuzhou's move was obviously to cut off the Flying Fox Road, and then catch the turtle in the urn and take down the entire Yanmen County.
Whining!
The sound of the bull's horn pulled Gao Chu's thoughts back, and the wolf's head given by the Turkic Khan shook in the wind.
On the slope of the loess mountain outside the city, Liu Wuzhou's cavalry team lined up on the mountain, looking strong and strong. As dozens of people blew the horns, the army marched forward in dense numbers under the hillside.
Liu Wuzhou's army under the city was unfurled and prepared to attack the city. Swords and guns are like forests, swords and halberds are like mountains, and the army moves slowly.
Gao Chu saw that to the east of the city where he was now located, the city wall here was slightly low, and Liu Wuzhou had arranged more than 6,000 horses here. Apparently storming here, and west of the city. There were also hundreds of cavalry cruising in the north of the city, but there were no men and horses in the south of the city. This is a normal siege method of siege, so that the defenders do not have the will to defend to the death.
In the city, Gaochu was only garrisoned by 1,500 village soldiers, and there was a huge difference in the strength of the two sides. Although Gao Chu has the reputation of being good at defending, Liu Wuzhou has so many people to attack, and he can't help but feel worried in his heart.
Liu Wuzhou's cavalry in front dismounted, and the soldiers, carrying leather shields and dirt bags, began to fill in the trenches under the city. One by one, the soldiers arrived at the city and began to line up. After waiting for the ditch to be filled, they are ready to climb over the sheep and horse wall and enter the city.
Gao Chu was now on the east side of the city, and he expected Liu Wuzhou to attack the lower east of the city.
Fanshi County has been operating for two years, and has long been built for Gao Chu like an iron bucket, he once said to his subordinates that the five losses in defending the city are to strengthen the small and weak; second, the city is large and has few people; the third is that there is little food and many people; Fourth, the accumulation of goods outside; Fifth, Haoqiang does not need to die.
Gao Chu ordered first, and the doors of the squares in the city had already been closed. The inside of the workshop is locked from the outside, so no one needs to enter or leave. The civil officials in the county, as well as the party chief and the neighboring chief, maintained order in the city. Those who trespass and move around will be killed.
As for the swift arrest of the officials, they were all requisitioned, and they were responsible for picking out a thousand people from the city. For the city walls, carry earth and arrows. There were also 200 women who cooked and cooked. Heal the wounded. Under Gao Chu's arrangement, the city was well organized.
Gao Chu personally led 300 township soldiers to garrison the east of the city. He laid an ambush of 300 men in the cave, and 300 others behind the city gates. There is a flag tower in the city, and if the battle situation is unfavorable, you can wave the flag and send troops from all over the city to reinforce the city gate.
Seeing that the opponent's army was gathered, Gao Chu commanded the people to temporarily build three enemy sheds in the east of the city overnight. The enemy shed is five zhang wide, covered with solid wood, painted with fire paint on the outside, and has five windows inside, which can accommodate twelve shè hands.
Three enemy sheds, plus two towers with a height of two floors that can accommodate twenty people on each floor, plus two horse-faced walls, immediately raised the eastern defense of the city to a new level.
Liu Wuzhou's army quickly filled in the first trench, and the cavalry used horse bows to shoot arrows at the head of the city. The Turks are good at shè, so a round of arrows comes down, shè is dense and ruthless. The enemy shed and the arrow tower did not take long to be filled with dense arrowheads.
There were not many defenders on the city wall, and they did not show their heads until Liu Wu and Zhou's army began to climb the city.
In the north of the city, a team of Liu soldiers who wanted to climb the city stripped off their robes, then poured a bowl of spirits, threw the bowl, and stepped forward with knives. Sergeant Liu passed over the filled trench, and as soon as he climbed over the sheep and horse wall, his feet fell to the ground, and many people jumped up in pain.
It turned out that Gao Chu was behind the sheep and horse wall, and he also buried the astringent, hoof, and antler wood, and Sergeant Liu was caught off guard and was hit at the moment.
After paying the price of being pierced under the feet of more than a dozen people, Liu Jun's soldiers climbed over the sheep and horse wall, the city wall built by loess ramming was overhead, the city wall in the east of the city was only two zhang, and Liu Jun's soldiers could climb it with the help of an escalator hook.
Mayi is a border county, and has been fighting with the Saiwaifan people for a long time, and the soldiers are particularly brave. After drinking the liquor, the impatient warriors did not even wait for the escalator to hook the rope, bite the knife, and climb the crevices of the city, and went straight to the wall.
Immediately after Sergeant Liu climbed the city, five or six township soldiers patrolling the city arrived from all sides and fought fiercely with them, and the corpses of Liu Jun and the township soldiers were constantly killed and thrown down the city.
The defenders used the spears, grab guns, bladed guns and other weapons to defend the city to resist the Liu army, and some defenders filed axes to cut the hands of the people who climbed the city.
However, as Liu Jun climbed the city more and more soldiers, it was impossible to see the north city wall in three hundred steps. Several soldiers of Liu occupied a support point on the city wall. At this time, Gao Chu commanded his subordinates to kill them from the cave of hidden soldiers, and dozens of people blocked several Liu soldiers on the city wall.
But Liu Jun under the city was not afraid of the obstruction of arrows, and more and more people climbed the city wall. Gao Chu had already taken precautions, and the people on the city wall immediately piled sandbags into an earthen ram to separate several dangerous city walls on both sides, so that the soldiers of Liu who climbed the city could not turn left and right.
Unless you jump back from the city wall, or jump directly into the city, and after falling half to death, you will be hacked to death by the reserve of the township soldiers who are eyeing the city.
However, for Liu Wuzhou, the battle for the city wall was only secondary. Liu Wuzhou sent two hundred soldiers to raise the city-breaking hammer and began to approach the city gate.
Although the arrows above the tower were like flying locusts, they were all aimed at the vicinity of the broken city hammer, making it extremely difficult for it to advance every step.
However, after paying the price of more than ten casualties, Sergeant Liu finally approached the city breaker.
Dozens of soldiers Liu braved the rain of arrows on the city, shook their arms and pulled the rope, and bombarded the city gate with a broken city hammer.
Bursts of dust rustled down, and the brass nails on the city gates were shaken off.
Seeing this scene, Liu Wuzhou couldn't help touching the iron whiskers on his jaw, and said with a smile: "The city is about to be broken!" ”
Bang!
Not long after Liu Wuzhou's words fell, there was a loud bang at the city gate.
The city gate cracked, and the soldier Liu on the side of the battering ram broke out with an angry roar.
The soldiers at the city gate poured into the city gate like a flood bursting the embankment, but at this moment, Gao Chu let out a sneer on the top of the city tower.
It didn't take long for a series of terrible shouts to come from inside the city gate, and Sergeant Liu, who had entered the city gate, fled out of the city gate in a panic.
In the cave of the city gate, blood was dripping, and three Saimen knife carts were launched at the same time, and the blades and spears of the knife carts were blurred with flesh and blood, and the corpses were stacked on top of them.
Watching the scene, the smile on Liu Wuzhou's face instantly froze, and his hand was raised in the air.
And at this moment, Gao Chu shouted: "Put the nail row, and the yaksha beats." ”
The words fell, and above the city, eight rows of nails with sharp blades hung on them, and three yakshasas roared down from the top of the city. The wood full of anti-whisker nails was thrown off the city, smashed into the city gate and gathered to storm the city, Liu Wu and Zhou were in the army.
In front of the city gate, I thought that the city was broken, and Liu Wuzhou's two hundred siege soldiers were rushing forward together, but they were nailed and lined up, and the Yaksha was right. There was a wail under the city, and the soldiers of Sergeant Liu, who had been in front of him, were smashed to the ground. The charging formation of more than 200 people seemed to have been brutally crushed by several iron plows, leaving behind a piece of bloody mud.
Gao Chu shouted again: "Pour hot oil, roll wood and stones, and smash them all to the city." ”
The city is rolling wood and stones, and the hot oil has never been used, but this time the cover is tilted down, sandwiched between the city wall and the sheep and horse wall, and the soldiers and soldiers of Liu who are ready to climb the city have hugged their heads and scurried. Gao Chu used all his back hands to defeat the morale of the besieging Liu army.
Ignoring the officer's obstruction, Liu's soldiers rolled out of the sheep and horse wall, and the whole line collapsed.
The hundreds of soldiers and soldiers of Liu who were still left in the city, except for a few brave people who resisted stubbornly, the rest also jumped from the city tower and from a distance. This in turn trampled on the astringent, hoofed, and antler wood of the cloth at the foot of the city.
The soldiers hugged their feet one after another, wailing and screaming, and after Sergeant Liu Wuzhou suppressed the head of the city with a strong bow for a while, he received fifty or sixty people to return to the camp, and the rest were all annihilated.
Liu Wuzhou's siege battle ended in a fiasco, with more than 200 soldiers killed and more than 300 wounded, and the spirit of the siege was lost. However, the casualties of the township soldiers defending the city in Gaochu were less than 100.
After holding Liu Wuzhou's round of offensive, Gao Chu immediately re-blocked the city gate, repaired the damaged parts of the city wall, and placed the wounded soldiers.
Three days later, Liu Wuzhou led his army to attack the city again, and this time Liu Wuzhou's army adjusted its tactics and became more cautious, and the two armies won and lost each other.
At dusk on the fifth day, it was another day of fighting, and when Liu Wuzhou was about to order the troops to return to the camp after another day of futile work, he was suddenly shocked when he heard the report from his subordinates.
Under the setting sun, countless cavalry came from all sides and surrounded Liu Wuzhou's military camp.
This cavalry is the long-lost grassland cavalry in the Youzhou army.
Ying Hefu rode a good horse from the Western Regions to pay tribute, marching among the army, he looked at Liu Wuzhou who was surrounded by the chaotic army from a distance, and sneered slightly.
But every time Youzhou goes to war, Liu Wuzhou must come to make peace, it has almost become a routine, several times to attack and harass the rear, but Liu Wuzhou has always had a Turkic care, so although Youzhou can destroy the other party several times, there is no chance to send troops.
But this time Dou Jiande attacked Youzhou, and it was not surprising that Liu Wuzhou sent troops to attack Yanmen again, but Li Chongjiu had already arranged a net for him to drill.
"Liu Wuzhou, don't you know that I have put up with you for a long time?". Ying Hefu waved his horsewhip and said in a cold voice, "The army will attack immediately and annihilate Liu Wuzhou." (To be continued......)
