Chapter 157: The Battle of Pingxiang (6)

After Jia Rong said some words of encouragement to the soldiers, he walked down the city wall, Zhang Wei followed closely behind Jia Rong, the leader of the pro-guard army is Zhang Yi, a Han soldier, and he also became a position after many tests, the selection of the leader of the pro-guard army is very strict, and the criteria for Li Li's selection are not only in force, but also for the test of resourcefulness.

Jia Rong did not express any objection to Zhang Yi's position as the leader of the Pro-Guard Army, and the deputy leader of the Pro-Guard Army was Ula, a member of Ulan's clan.

Jia Rong was injured on the battlefield, Zhang Yi, as the leader of the pro-guard army, blamed himself, and the three hundred pro-guards walked in the crowd without the arrogant look they used to have.

According to statistics, there are about 3,000 Qiang soldiers who died in this war, and the wounded do not know, the side defending the city has always taken advantage, one to three, according to this ratio, the army can only leave more than 20,000 rebels at most, and today the rebels almost gained a foothold on the city wall, this is the most deadly, when the rebels are on the city, the city defense battle has become a hand-to-hand battle, and the reason is that the side defending the city is undermanned.

Jia Rong also wanted to encourage the people in the city to join the battle, but the current situation was obviously inappropriate, and the militia team could only be used as an auxiliary for the time being, and the current rebels were not a rabble under the leadership of Han Sui, and letting ordinary people go to the city wall was tantamount to letting them go to death, and it would also affect the cooperation of the defending army.

It is too much to let these elite soldiers of the Xiliang army die on the city wall like this, not to mention that the Xiliang army is basically cavalry, and it is not as big as the trap camp led by Li Shun in the defense of the city, and the soldiers in the trap camp are best at foot combat, and it is not a problem for a trap camp soldier to fight three rebel soldiers on foot on the city wall, and in the defense of the city, Li Shun's pressure is the smallest, and even some of Jiang Yu's men who assisted Ximen in defending the city today.

Jia Rong pondered today's battle of defending the city all the way back to the county government, thinking about how to get the greatest advantage.

"Cavalry!" Most of the soldiers of the Xiliang army are cavalry, and the battle of defending the city weishenme does not use cavalry, the infantry can defend the city, and the cavalry can do the same, provided that the horses can run on the Pingxiang City.

Jia Rong hurriedly returned to the city, carefully looked at the walls of Pingxiang City, and found that it was completely possible, thinking about this, Jia Rong's mood also changed a lot.

On the third day, the rebels launched a fierce attack on Pingxiang, and the momentum was more courageous than yesterday's, yesterday's siege battle gave the rebels hope, and the news of Jia Rong's injury made the rebels see greater hope; Han Sui expected that if this continued, within three days, Pingxiang City would be breached, but the losses of his own army would also be very large, and he could eliminate Jia Rong, a nominal Han famous general, Han Sui thought it was still worth it, anyway, most of the soldiers consumed were Qiang troops.

As before, the besieging soldiers held their shields high and carefully climbed up the ladder, greatly slowing down the speed of the siege, and a scoop of boiling dung juice was poured down, although they did not achieve great results, but they silenced the besieging rebels.

The momentum of the boulder's fall is enough to smash all the soldiers on the ladder, and then the Han army defending the city can easily overthrow the ladder, the rebels have no more advanced siege weapons, they can only rely on manpower advantages, the city gate is sealed, and they can't break through the door at all.

After the siege lasted for an hour, many rebel soldiers once again climbed the city wall, compared to yesterday, the attack was faster, Han Sui in the rebel camp saw the soldiers on the city wall, and hurriedly ordered the drum to cheer.

The dull drum beat on the hearts of every soldier who was besieging the city, the drum made their blood boil, and the pace of the siege was accelerated, and the rebels climbed the city wall, and the effect of rolling dung juice became smaller, and for a while, there were more and more Qiang soldiers on the city wall.

The rebel soldiers besieging the city could clearly feel that the Han army defending the city was much weaker than yesterday's resistance, and the discovery of such a situation undoubtedly boosted the arrogance of the rebel soldiers.

After Jia Rong once again killed a soldier who had attacked the city wall, he ordered Zhang Wei beside him: "Charge the guards!" ”

Three hundred cavalry, who had been preparing to attack in the direction of the city wall, rode on their horses, an indescribable confidence filled the chest of the guards, and the three hundred cavalry attacked the rebel soldiers who attacked the wall in three waves.

With only two waves of charges, the rebels who attacked the city wall were wiped out, and although there were some accidental injuries during the period, the overall record was very good.

The city wall of Pingxiang City is quite wide, it can withstand the charge of two cavalry together, the effect is not as big as the battle on the flat ground, after the three hundred guards charged, these rebel soldiers who attacked the city have not yet reacted, and they were completely stunned by this style of play again, in their cognition, the war horses are charged on the ground, how can they still charge on the city wall on the war horse.

This situation also happened on the other three city walls, and the rebel soldiers who were caught off guard were beaten to the ground, and with the most haode Li Shun in the east, they were trapped in the camp and fought incomparably, and occasionally with the charge of cavalry, there was no pressure at all to fight this group of rebels attacking Shangcheng.

After the rebels on the city wall were eliminated, the rebels' offensive slowed down, and if they wanted to attack the city wall, they had to pay a certain price.

The day passed quickly, and compared to yesterday, the defenders felt a sharp decrease in pressure, and the casualties of the rebel soldiers were even greater than yesterday, and the soldiers who basically survived, each with a few heads behind their names, was their victory.

The defenders of the city paid more than 500 casualties in exchange for more than 3,000 casualties of the enemy's soldiers, compared with more than 1,000 casualties among the soldiers yesterday, such a result is very gratifying, even if the rebels are so powerful, they can't help this way of fighting, and what is even more gratifying is that the casualties of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army have been significantly reduced.

On the fourth day, the rebels were still repulsed, and the defenders in the city were more tacit with the cavalry after yesterday's run-in, and the casualties became smaller, compared to the losses of the siege rebels were gradually increasing.

The bravery of the cavalry and infantry together made the soldiers who defended the city see hope, especially Xu Huang, after three days of defending the city, the awe of Jia Rong was deeper, and he joined the Xiliang Army after Jia Xu's introduction, and followed the army to Pingxiang in a hurry, and the understanding of Jia Rong was only limited to the soldiers' mouths.

On the fifth day, the rebels stopped the attack, but surrounded the Pingxiang City, and attacked the city for four consecutive days, and the rebels suffered more than 15,000 casualties, such losses were unacceptable to the rebels.

For three consecutive days, the rebels outside the city were completely honest, and Pingxiang City was like a tightly constricted hedgehog, making the rebels unable to speak.

On the sixth day, the rebels launched an even more fierce attack.

Not long after the siege began, a general patrolling the city hurriedly came to Jia Rong's side.

"General Qiyu, I heard a lot of movement in the city, like the rebels digging something underground."

Jia Rong didn't dare to slack off, no wonder the rebels attacked the city today with only thunder and rain, it turned out that they wanted to play yin.

The rebels have been digging tunnels for three days, and now they are going to dig into the city today, and when they echo inside and outside, they will definitely be able to take Pingxiang in one fell swoop, which is also Han Sui's means.

As soon as a rebel soldier showed his head, he was killed head-on by the defenders who had been preparing to haode, and then some of the lit rotten firewood was thrown in, and the soldiers behind the tunnel were held in it and coughed non-stop, and the smoke was filled, which made the soldiers in the tunnel unable to distinguish between east and west, north and south, trampling on each other, and suddenly there was chaos.

Stealing chickens did not lead to rice, and digging tunnels did not achieve the desired effect, but caused the rebels to lose a lot of military strength.

The big tent of the Chinese army, from Han Sui's face, the generals under the tent couldn't feel the frustration after the failure of the siege, Han Sui's face still maintained a faint smile, as if the failure of the siege had nothing to do with it, even Zuihou's digging tunnel failed, Han Sui only praised Jia Rong.

After glancing around, he said with a smile: "What do the generals think about Pingxiang City being unable to attack for a long time?" ”

After four days of siege, all the rebel generals did not dare to despise Jia Rong in Pingxiang City, and the combination of infantry and cavalry to defend the city made them very helpless, and the casualties of the soldiers were not acceptable to them, so they could only stop the attack on Pingxiang.

Lou Shan beside Han Sui said: "The defenders in Pingxiang City can't shrink out, we can give up Pingxiang, directly attack the land of Sanfu, and conquer Chang'an, I expect that Jia Rong in Pingxiang will definitely go all out to rescue, and then it will be time to eliminate Jia Rong's army." ”

Loushan's words were supported by most of the generals, what was the most important thing for the Han Dynasty, that is, the emperor's order, the rebels attacked Chang'an, as long as the Han Emperor issued a holy decree, Jia Rong had to obediently go to the rescue, lost the advantage of the city wall, and defeated Jia Rong's thousands of people It was not easy to capture.

Lou Shan's words made Han Sui a little moved, so that he could greatly speed up the speed of the march, as long as enough men and horses were placed in the cities captured along the way, he would not be afraid of Jia Rongjun's attack.

Li Wenhou was the first to stand up and say that he did not fight with Jia Rongjun, which Li Wenhou desperately wanted to see.

Bian Zhangyan said: "Jia Rong is a Han general, and the siege generals have also seen his talent in the past few days, why don't you persuade him to join the coalition army with emotion and reason, which can not only greatly weaken the military strength of the Han court, but also get Pingxiang for nothing, and get such a general, killing three birds with one stone." ”
