188. The war in Changzi County
Outside the eldest son county, a surging fierce cavalry lined up, and on the city tower, a man with an elegant face had a solemn face, and his rather fair palm was holding a seven-foot Qingfeng, and his palm was overflowing with sweat.
Changzi County is the seat of Shangdang County, the city is towering, garrisoned by 2,000 veterans and more than 5,000 service soldiers, the army is not strong, but there is a towering city as a shelter, but it can be defended.
Under the city, Niu Fu, who was covered with a shawl, held a silver armor helmet in his left hand, his chin covered with stubble was slightly raised, and he looked coldly at the towering eldest son city, and behind him, Zhi Hu Chi'er and other fierce generals were all excited, panting, looking at Niu Fu as the leader, ready to wave his troops to attack the city at any time.
Dou Yun's face on the upper floor of the eldest son city was slightly pale, as the Taishou of Shangdang County, Dou Yun's internal affairs handling ability is undoubtedly very good, Shangdang County has always been full of clans, and the incidents of chivalry and martial arts violations have occurred repeatedly, the people do not want to farm, and they play ruthlessly all day long, from the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the end of the Han Dynasty, dozens of Taishou have rarely been able to sort out these bends, but Dou Yun, who was born in the Yellow Gate, is good at dancing with long sleeves, and has been in office for three years, not only to appease the disputes of the major local clans, but also to involve the civilian villages, and the relationship with the elders and sages in various places is very good, under Dou Yun's repeated movements, the people in various places are stable, but the livelihood of Shangdang County has improved a lot.
Dou Yun is good at dancing with long sleeves, his wrists are tepid, and he maintains a good relationship with many clans in Shangdang County, and at the same time has a good reputation among the local common people, and can govern Shangdang County in an orderly manner. Even Ju Yi and other generals have a faint undercurrent surging. Xenophobia is emerging. This Dou Yun is a halfway service person after all, and he lacks that incense with all the strategists and generals, so everyone is questioning whether he can afford to take on the important position of the county guard, if it weren't for Xun Zhan's strong recommendation, I'm afraid Yuan Shang would have stranded Dou Yun.
However, although this Dou Yun's reputation for internal affairs is gradually rising, it does not mean that he can read military affairs, after all, he is a scholar, and his body has always been delicate. Compared with Tian Feng's judgment and the three well-known civil and military shuangquan in the state, there is really still a bit of a gap. After all, the Eastern Han Dynasty's scholars and martial arts are still relatively distinct, like this Dou Yun, the governance of internal affairs is okay, and he can also read and hyphenate, and the Qingshi Song Fu is even more handy, but it is a little difficult for him to lead the troops to fight, the enemy army is coming, the white-faced scholar was shocked, and he took out the gentleman's sword and rushed to the wall. His eyes widened angrily, and the palms of his sword were soaked with sweat. seems to be calm, but in fact, he keeps beating drums in his heart, after all, he is not a military general, and it is already very rare to be able to stand up and not run away and not show timidity.
Niu Fu under the city straddled the horse and held a halberd, his hair fluttered in the wind, with that burly body, exuding a fierce aura all over his body, but he looked extremely powerful.
Zhihu Chi'er and more than a dozen other generals and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry named 'Daben Battalion' all stared at Niu Fu led by him with bated voices, and when his halberd fell, he washed the entire eldest son city in blood.
In the past half a month, Niu Fu personally led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry of the Daben Camp into Bingzhou, and everywhere he went, he slaughtered the city to show the public, which made Zhang He furious, and ordered two thousand soldiers and horses to track, but was killed by Niu Fu and the crowd, the difference in the number of people was too great, and the two thousand chased away and the tiger and wolf of Bingzhou were all wiped out, and the Daben Battalion also paid the lives of nearly two thousand soldiers, basically one to fight one, but it did not distinguish between winning or losing, and folded two thousand Daben Camp Elite Cavalry, Niu Fu was furious in his heart, completely killed the red eye, and took advantage of the morale to kill all the way to the eldest son city, Slaughtered a lot of villages along the way, bloody and ruthless, the soldiers of the Da Ben battalion all bulged at the waist, the back of the horse was heavy, and Niu Fu staged a brutal and inhumane loot in the land of Bingzhou, and finally stopped the horse's hooves under the eldest son city, and after a while, looking at the appearance, he wanted to capture the eldest son city.
Niu Fu's eyes were like torches, the big eyes under the thick eyebrows were shining, and the cold light kept bursting out into the bone marrow, staring at the city wall of more than ten meters, and he kept weighing it in his heart.
In the end, Niu Fu's face sank, and as soon as the halberd fell, he ordered: "Kill." ”
Zhihu Chi'er, who had been holding his breath and waiting for the order behind him, and more than 8,000 soldiers of the Daben battalion suddenly moved, carrying improvised siege equipment, and began to attack the city.
"Kill~"
Although Dong Zhuo's command is still dominated by Han soldiers, but because Niu Fu has half of the Qiang blood, he is more favored by the brave and war-loving Qiang soldiers, and the composition of the Daben camp is mostly based on the Qiang supplemented by the Han, and the Han generals are fewer, so they are gradually melted away, is a brutal massacre and looting, in just half a month, slaughtering several cities in a row, such a careless killing, is really rare.
On the tower of the city, the scholar Taishou Dou Yun saw this, his face changed slightly, and the seven-foot Qingfeng in his hand trembled slightly, but he still ordered stubbornly: "Counterattack." ”
Two thousand veterans and thousands of service soldiers, all with angry faces, obviously hated this notorious enemy army for half a month, at least 80 percent of the soldiers present were local people in the state, more or less have relatives and old friends who died at the hands of Niu Fu and the soldiers of the Daben battalion, and now this arrogant enemy army dares to attack the eldest son city so boldly, so unscrupulous, how can these young and strong soldiers not be angry.
No need for Dou Yun to urge, on the city tower, a general dressed as a captain has long been ready for battle, Dou Yun is a literati, and does not have much experience in battle formations, this matter of defending the city, probably has to rely on these professional soldiers, especially Guo Miao on the city tower, this person is a battlefield fight for more than ten years, although the reputation is not very loud, but he is also a famous general in the state, in history, once the official to Yanmen County Taishou, is the father of the late Three Kingdoms famous general Guo Zhun.
When Ding Yuan was the assassin of the state, this Guo Miao was famous for his filial piety and bravery, and then he was requisitioned as the county lieutenant of the eldest son county, and led the security of a county office, which was also quite accomplished, but unfortunately since Ding Yuan took Lu Bu and did not return, the state completely fell into the chaotic stage of the dragon without a leader, this Guo Miao could not see hope and could only abandon the official reluctantly, and then Yuan Shang swept the major mountains of the state one by one, and the momentum was extremely huge, Guo Miao had great ambitions in his heart, and took more than a dozen generals to decisively put into Yuan Shang's command, In less than two years, he has already obtained the position of lieutenant, which is a small achievement.
Guo Miao still led the people to garrison Changzi County, with the rank of lieutenant leading the post of county lieutenant, and also had two thousand veterans and thousands of service soldiers on hand.
Before the enemy arrived, the sound of shouting and killing had reached people's ears, the service soldiers were some green and white children, and their bodies were good, but they had not really fought with the enemy, and they had been trained for more than a year, looking at the wolf-like Xiliang cavalry, suddenly nervous and excited mixed with precipitation, the hand holding the weapon trembled slightly, and the slightly childish faces were showing a trace of flushing, and I don't know whether the road was afraid or excited, but no one retreated, in the state tiger wolf, retreat, is a synonym for shame, It is an act that is enough to be spurned, and this criterion, daring to fight and not retreating, is the golden rule that their respective instructors constantly emphasize.
"Archery." Guo Miao's face was solemn, and behind him, a childish young general who was only about fifteen years old held a spear and stood behind him quite steadily.
The speed of the two thousand veterans to implement the order is very fast, with bows and arrows, only between breaths, as a veteran of the state with several and dozens of fighting experience, this group of men who are about in their early twenties to their thirties are all naked, this is a place where the soldiers under the command of Guo Miao are different from other combat battalions, bronzed skin, beads of sweat the size of beans, a group of men with resolute faces like iron casting, exuding a chilling atmosphere, even those service soldiers are looking at the veterans of the first line of defense with some envy, In this group of young people, there is no doubt that the veterans are indeed the idols of their hearts.
"Puff~"
A wave of arrow rain whistled down, the cold wind howled, the thunderstorm was majestic, and it fell high, like a rapidly falling raindrop, ticking and intertwining into a piece and falling towards the Xiliang army that had entered the firing range.
"Stand shield." Although Zhihu Chi'er has a rough temperament, he has been on the battlefield for a long time, and the arrows rain like rain, and the soldiers of the Daben battalion are also people, and they are not strong enough to be inferior to swords and arrows, so there is still to be the necessary cover.
