Chapter 50: The Battle of Dongjun (2)
"Oh, have you already started to assault? Let's go to the city walls. ”
"Shoot the arrows! Stones, rolling logs ready. Go and boil the water, and when they start to climb up, splash the boiled water. ”
"You guys, hurry up and fetch water from the well in the city, and make sure we have enough water."
"No."
"Hah!"
"Hah!"
"Hah!"
"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand."
"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand."
"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand."
The Yellow Turban thieves were surging and approached the edge of the city wall. In the back row of the Yellow Turban Bandits, there were also some crossbowmen, shooting at the crossbowmen on top of the tower. However, this is only a part of the sparseness. After all, it's just a peasant uprising, and the equipment is still not enough.
"Call all the generals over, and I'll arrange the combat deployment below." Xue Rengui turned to the herald and said.
"My lord." Zhang Fei, Gao Shun, Xu Maogong, Xun Yu and others came over.
"At first, we went out to fight the Yellow Turbans. Taken away, a total of 12,800 people. Of these, about 150 were killed and 86 were seriously injured. Now, with the soldiers who have recovered from their wounds, there are about 12,600 men and horses. There were still 18,000 men and horses who stayed in Dongjun before. With the 50,000 conscripts, and my guard, the Huwei Brigade, there are now about 1,200 people. It was about 73,800 men in total. However, the Tiger Mighty team is responsible for protecting the families in the city. And there were 180,000 captives in the city. In this way, Zhou Wen listened to the order: I ordered you to lead the soldiers and horses under the headquarters: Tiger Wing Battalion, to guard the south gate, and there must be no mistakes. ”
"No, the last general will definitely live up to his mission."
"Jiang Xingben listened to the order: I ordered you to lead the soldiers and horses under the headquarters: Tiger Courage Battalion, and go to guard the east gate, and there must be no mistakes."
"No. The last general will certainly live up to his mission. ”
"Jiang Xingba listened to the order: I ordered you to lead the soldiers and horses under the headquarters: the Tiger Wolf Battalion, and go to guard the West Gate, and there must be no mistakes."
"No, the last general will definitely live up to his mission."
"Zhou Qing, Zhou Wu, and Xue Xiantu listened to the order: I ordered you to lead the soldiers and horses under the headquarters: Tiger Battalion, Tiger Ming Battalion, Tiger Fist Battalion, and guard the north gate with me, and there must be no mistake."
"No, the last general will definitely live up to his mission."
"Gao Shun, Zhang Fei listened to the order: I ordered you to lead the soldiers and horses under the headquarters: break the barracks, trap the camp, and the Tiger King Battalion led by me. As a reserve for the Great Army, ready to support us at any time. ”
"My lord, why did they all go into battle to kill the enemy? And let me wait here. ”
"Yide, defending the city, how can you put all the troops into it at once. And I was sure that we would be able to break these Yellow Turban thieves. You have the courage of ten thousand people, and the trapping camp trained by Gao Shun is even more invincible. Therefore, after we defeat the Yellow Turban Army, with the soldiers and horses led by the two of you as the main force, we can hunt down and kill the remnants of these Yellow Turban thieves, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort. ”
"Okay then, but when you can really kill the enemy, you must call me."
"Hahaha, of course! You two hurry up and get ready. ”
"No, the last general will definitely live up to his mission."
Because the main force of Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Thief Army is at the South Gate, the South Gate must be the place where he will attack. Xue Rengui sent 12,000 men and horses to garrison it, while the other city gates only sent 3,000 men and horses.
"Li Hong, our army brought back 180,000 captives of the Yellow Turban Bandits, and now they are in the city, which will be the biggest uneasy factor. Do you have the confidence to be optimistic about them. ”
"The last general will definitely take care of them."
"Well, in that case. Then the lifeblood of our army is in your hands. Li Hong listened to the order: I ordered you to lead the soldiers and horses under the headquarters: Huya Battalion. There are also 10,000 conscripts, a total of 13,000 men, and you must take care of these prisoners for me. ”
"No, the last general will definitely live up to his mission."
"The remaining 40,000 conscripts. Each gate was divided into 5,000 men to help them defend the city. The remaining 20,000 conscripts were to be used as reserve troops in the city, and to maintain the established law and order. Ma Gang listened to the order: These things will be left to you to do. ”
"No, the little one will definitely live up to its mission."
"Xun Yu listened to the order: ordered you to sit in the camp of the Chinese army and dispatch from it."
"No, Wen Ruo will definitely live up to his mission."
"Duke Xu Mao listened to the order: I ordered you to go to the south gate with me to deal with Zhang Jiao's army."
"No."
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Outside the city gates, the Yellow Turban thieves shouted loudly.
"Poof... Puff... "The crossbow that shot out hit the one who was charging forward. The body of the Yellow Turban Bandits. However, this did not seem to interrupt their determination to charge forward. Soon, at the cost of throwing down hundreds of corpses, the Yellow Turbans rushed to the city wall and set up a ladder.
"Come on, throw me down the rocks and logs, and treat these thieves well!"
"Bang...
"Bang...
"Bang...
The rocks and logs smashed into the Yellow Turban thieves who were climbing the city walls. Every time a stone or log is thrown, more than a dozen Yellow Turban thieves can be injured.
"Come on, pour our boiling water."
"Gollum, Gollum... The boiling boiled water, which had been boiled, was put up at this time.
"Poof..."
"Poof..."
As if he didn't want money, he poured it down.
"Ahh
"Ahh
"Ahh
The Yellow Turban thieves who were doused with boiled water all let go and fell under the city tower. If you are lucky, it is okay to fall to death, but those who are not lucky fall under the city tower, not only have a feeling of broken bones and tendons, but also have to bear the taste of being scalded by boiled water. All kinds of screams were heard endlessly.
Xue Rengui's steps to defend the city were very rigorous, the Yellow Turban Army had been attacking for a long time, and no one had been able to climb the city wall.
"Boom, boom, boom."
Just when the war was going on to a stalemate, suddenly there was a sound of gold in the camp of the Yellow Turban thieves.
"Lord, the Yellow Turban Thieves have already withdrawn their troops. It looks like they're not going to attack the city today. At this time, Xu Maogong came out and said to Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui frowned and did not speak. In this city, at least a thousand corpses were left below. It's only the first day, and it's just a gate. Even the other three gates were not as heavily attacked. But presumably it won't be far off. I must unify this troubled world as soon as possible and return the people of the world to a peaceful and prosperous world.
"Mao Gong, you send someone to count our casualty records." It took Xue Rengui a long time before he said this.
"My lord, it's been counted. for they did not storm our walls. So the only people who were hurt by our army were those whom they shot with scattered crossbows. There were no deaths among them, only fifty-six soldiers were guarded to light and serious wounds, large and small. ”
"Well, let's get them bandaged. What about the other three gates? ”
"The other three gates were just feinted."
"Okay, a few more days. Let the defenders of the other three gates be changed to the south gate, and let the three defenders of the south gate go to the other three gates. This will ensure that they have enough stamina. ”
"No."
"Lord, Li Hong is here."
"Why is Li Hong here? Didn't he let him take his men and horses to guard the 180,000 captives? Call him up. ”
"Participate in the Lordship."
"Li Hong, you don't want to guard those prisoners, what's the matter with coming here?"
"My lord, the captives said they wanted to see you. A representative of the captives has been sent to meet you. ”
"Well, in that case. Then bring him up. ”
"The little one participates in General Xue."
"Well, I don't know what you want to see me?"
"Lord Qiyu, although we rebelled and rebelled before, we were also forced to be helpless. Ever since we came to East County, we have never been looked down upon by others. And only in Dongjun can the common people live a good life. We now know that there are thieves attacking Dongjun outside, and we are willing to sacrifice our modest strength to help the general. ”
"System, help me detect the attributes of the person in front of me." Xue Rengui said silently to the system in his heart.
"Ding-dong... Chen Jing, Peak Attributes: Force: 21, Intelligence: 42, Commander: 18, Politics: 9. ”
This person only has a slightly higher intelligence, and the rest of his attributes are the attributes of an ordinary soldier. And the intelligence is only in his early forties, so it must not seem like he is lying. The intelligence is a little higher, presumably it should be selected by them, and it should be more convenient to communicate with themselves.
Xue Rengui had already made up his mind at this time.
"That's right, okay. Then you go down and rest first. Wait for me to let you know. ”
"No, the little one is leaving."
"Li Hong, you should go back quickly."
"Mao Gong, what do you think?"
"If these people are genuinely coming, it must be a good thing. However, if they are afraid of bad intentions, it will be a big deal. However, if you don't agree to this matter. I'm afraid it will chill some of them. ”
"What do you think?" According to the judgment of the previous system, Xue Rengui already felt that this should not be a scam, but that they really wanted to take refuge sincerely. However, Xue Rengui felt that it was better to ask Xu Maogong's opinion first.
"I don't think he's lying, so I think there's a good chance they're genuine. But just in case, we still have to make a little more preparation. My opinion is that the young and middle-aged people who are released are still there, and let the young and middle-aged among them come to help us. ”
"Okay, that's it." Of the 180,000 captives, most of them were dragged with their families. If you detain their old and weak women and children, it is equivalent to taking hostages. Even if they want to rebel, I'm afraid they have to weigh it. However, Xu Maogong did not break this matter.
Although this is a bit extreme, it is necessary to use extraordinary means at extraordinary times.
