Chapter 80: The Beifu Army Arrives
(xiexie Fengxia love the endless reward~~~~)
Although he did not capture the manors of Yangxian and Lu, Gu, Zhu, and Zhangwujun, Sun En can also understand, not to mention that Xu Daofu brought nearly 50,000 Ding Zhuang, more than 6,000 women, and countless grains, grass, cloth, gold and silver, which can be regarded as a miracle! On the other hand, he has been raising troops for more than 20 days, leading 100,000 people, but only capturing Shangyu, which makes him feel that he has no place to be ashamed, especially when Shanyin gains and loses!
Secretly shook his head, Sun En smiled bitterly: "It's a shame to say that the capture of Shanyin was a failure, and I will tell you more about the details later, Futang, you led the army to fight in the three counties, and traveled nearly thousands of miles to come here, it stands to reason that the whole army must take a good rest for the whole three or two days, but now the situation is urgent, and you must conquer Shanyin as soon as possible, you can only work hard, two hours later, you lead the headquarters to attack the north gate overnight, you and I are two-pronged, I don't believe that it can't be broken." ”
"Dao Fu obeys the general's orders!" Xu Dao replied to the promise, although he was also wondering why San'in was delayed, but it was inconvenient to ask more, so he could only bury this puzzle in his heart.
Sun En waved his hand: "Let's go, hurry up, and settle the soldiers first!" Then he led the people back to him.
Two hours later, the shouting and killing were fierce again, and nearly 100,000 troops attacked from two directions.
Wei Feng took the county soldiers as the main defense, full-time archery, casting trebuchets and operating bed crossbows, Ding Zhuang was responsible for forking the flying ladder, throwing rolling stones, sassal wood and pouring fire oil under the city, and some of them were simply trained to kill and injure the enemy with crossbows, but the Yixing army was distributed in the city head to patrol, on the one hand, it played a role in supervising the battle, on the other hand, if the enemy climbed the city wall, immediately set up a mandarin duck array to kill!
In the endless battle, three days passed in a flash, although Wei Feng forcibly recruited 20,000 Ding Zhuang, but the attrition was extremely serious, the average daily casualties exceeded 2,000 people, there was no way, Sun En wanted to capture Shanyin before the court reinforcements arrived, so he fought hard, Wei Feng had no time to train them, so he could only fill them with human lives!
The city weeps all day long, the black smoke is thick and faint for a long time, this is the smoke produced by the burning of the corpse, because it is the height of summer, the corpse can not be left for a long time, and there is not enough space in the city to bury, so Wei Feng forced the corpse to be cremated, but in the end, the entire Shanyin is still shrouded in a layer of rancid smell, the corpse in the city can be dealt with by Wei Feng, but there is nothing that can be done outside the city, although Sun En is also afraid of the occurrence of an epidemic, and consciously cleans up a part, however, the corpse near the city wall cannot be transported away, The neighborhood is full of green-headed flies, and the corpse is densely covered with big white maggots, which is extremely disgusting!
What Wei Feng could do was to mobilize the women in the city to make masks from several layers of burlap cloth and distribute them to the soldiers to prevent them from being stunted, and on the other hand, he took advantage of the limited gap between battles to pour alum water and quicklime on the city.
On this day was the 23rd of May, the sun had passed the highest point, Sun En, Lu Xun and Xu Dao gathered on a temporary mound, anxiously looking at the city, the battle continued, but there was no sign of overcoming, the city was about 2,000 people killed every day, and as the attacking side, the number of casualties was even greater, reaching as many as seven or eight thousand!
The defenders of the city at least have a reason to fight to the death, but the attacking side suffers such heavy casualties every day, it will inevitably shake the morale of the army, these three people have already felt it, and there is dissatisfaction brewing in the army, but they can't think about it, they can only strictly order the overseer team with the private army of the scholar clan as the main body to strengthen control.
"General, look, someone's coming!" As soon as Xu Daofu turned around, he happened to see a soldier rushing over, with a panic on his face!
Sun En and Lu Xun also turned their heads to look, and suddenly felt a Geden in their hearts, this person was one of the scouts scattered north of the camp, responsible for observing the movements of the Beifu army.
When the visitor approached, Sun En shouted and asked, "Why are you so flustered!" ”
The scout hastily arched his hand, breathless and said: "General Hui, the Beifu army has crossed Zhejiang last night and is heading towards our army, and when the last general returns, it has reached thirty miles due north!" ”
In an instant, Sun Luxu and the three of them and the generals on the mound all changed their faces drastically, they should have come or come, if there was Shanyin in hand, they were not afraid, but in the field battle with the Beifu army, could they do it?
"Hurry up!" Sun En was the first to come back to his senses, and hurriedly shouted: "Although the Beifu army made great achievements in the battle of Weishui, but in the ninth year of Taiyuan (384), Liu Gaozhi was defeated by Murong Chui in Wuqiaoze (now Xingtaidong, Hebei), and the whole army was wiped out. Now, fifteen years have passed, and in the past fifteen years, the Beifu army has not encountered major battles, but has interfered in the government and fought for power and profit. What are you afraid of? ”
Saying this, the generals made up their minds a little, and Sun En asked the scout again, "Who is leading the Beifu army?" How many came? ”
The scout responded: "According to the observation of the last general, it should be Liu Gaozhi who personally led the army south, with a total of 30,000 foot soldiers and 5,000 cavalry!" ”
Lu Xunluo groaned, and then said: "The Beifu army is menacing, general, our army should respond quickly, at this time it is no longer feasible to attack the city, but the retreat will only cause chaos, according to the opinion of the last general, the front team must rely on the iron spear and giant shield to rely on the camp to set up a defense, to prevent the defenders of Shanyin from going out of the city to raid, and immediately recall the other two forces, and set up a formation, if you can take advantage of the new arrival of the Beifu army to collapse in one fell swoop, the court will no longer be able to rescue Shanyin, our army can attack calmly, and even the general only needs to spare Wang Ning's life, that old guy can surrender without a fight!" ”
Sun En thought about it, retreating was just a way to kill himself, the key was that the Beifu army had cavalry, and immediately shouted again: "Mingjin!" ”
"Bang Bang Bang~~" The offensive was in full swing, the gong suddenly sounded, and Sun En's army immediately retreated like a tide, which made the defenders of the city a little stunned, since Sun En's attack, his army only beat drums and never sounded gold, this is the first time, what is going on?
Xiang Mi showed hesitation, and said uncertainly: "Although Sun Enjun has suffered many casualties, the main force is still there, how can he retreat for no reason?" General, could it be that the court reinforcements are coming? ”
Wei Feng couldn't think of a more reason, so he nodded and said, "Maybe so, let's take a look first." As he spoke, he turned his head and called: "The whole army should hurry up and rest on the spot, and go to two more people, and invite Fujun and Mrs. Xie to the top of the city!" ”
"Yes!" The two soldiers walked away quickly, but the others were like falling apart, and they lay down on the ground with a bang, they were really tired, and they could only take turns to rest for two or three hours every day, and then it was a tense battle, although the court reinforcements had not yet appeared, but everyone believed from the bottom of their hearts that the court reinforcements must be coming.
