Section 1 The Siege of Binh Duong

The rising sun in April is full of hope, but at this moment, Huyangeng in Pingyang City got bad news: Suolu collapsed the city wall. Stepping on the spring and the rising sun, Hu Yangeng and the others went out of the house and galloped to the front line.

Far away in the city, the fighting has not stopped for three days and three nights. The sound of killing in the city shook the sky, but the city was silent. The spacious streets are deserted, and the gentle spring breeze sweeps over the willows on the roadside with new leaves, and the catkins on the branches are swept into the air, and the catkins fall one after another.

Hu Yangeng wrapped his cloak tightly, and asked the battle situation at the head of the guard: The section of the city wall that collapsed?

"Please also rest assured that it is not the place that collapsed two days ago, but a section to the west. There were not too many ropers who broke into the city from the collapse, about a hundred or dozens of people. Before the villain came to report the news, Wu Ti Ha had already gone to the front line and began to organize his manpower, preparing to fight a counterattack and drive them out again. ”

The collapse of the walls sounded terrible. In fact, as long as you are well prepared in advance, and the collapsed area is not too wide, as far as the defenders are concerned, they can still cope with it freely. As for the preparation, it is also very simple, two are enough: enough green bricks, stones, and other things; and enough manpower for the dead, the people, and the manpower.

Hu Yangeng inquired in detail about the situation of the collapse and was slightly relieved. And he hurried to the edge of the city, and watched from afar, and sure enough, it was just as the guard had spoken.

The extent of the collapse of the city wall was not very wide, about a dozen or so steps. Both sides and the ground were full of broken bricks. The smoke has not completely dissipated. In the dust and smoke, there are many figures fighting fiercely.

Wu Song is still in black armor all over his body, with a hammer in his left hand and an axe in his right hand, which is very conspicuous against the rising sun. After he supervised the battle, he stood about twenty or thirty feet away from the gap, and four or five other groups of soldiers had already been assembled, and were waiting behind him, ready to go into battle at any time.

The siege had been going on for months, and during the siege, there was no communication from outside and no sign of when reinforcements would arrive. In the past half a month, the Jin soldiers' siege of the city has suddenly intensified, and it has been attacked continuously for several days and nights several times.

Hu Yangeng didn't go over and stopped in the distance. He rode a high-headed horse, surrounded by civil and military forces on the left and right, and his dress was also different from that of ordinary soldiers and generals, and at first glance he was the identity of the main general, in the case of the collapse of the city wall, if he still took the initiative to go to the front line, it was not called bravery, it could only be said to add chaos.

He watched the battle and noticed that the wooden wall had not yet been pulled up.

The so-called women's wall is another low wall set up on the city wall. For they are small, not as tall as the wall, and are better than the city, than a woman to her husband. Therefore, it is called the female wall. And the wooden female wall, as the name suggests, is a wall made of wood, some of which have pulleys under them that can be pushed. For example, when defending a city, if the wall collapses, it can be pushed and temporarily blocked.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance.

Hu Yangeng turned his head to look and saw dozens of people pushing a wooden female wall, slowly moving towards the gap. The wooden female wall is very tall, and this one is specially made, and it is on par with the city. Dozens of people dragged and shouted, pushing it to the defects of the collapse.

The 100 gold soldiers who had broken into the city earlier had already been killed and wounded under the encirclement and annihilation of the superior defenders. Wu Song also sent another thirty or forty dead soldiers, but instead stood out outside the city wall and lined up a line of defense, giving space for the wooden girl wall.

The trebuchets of the golden soldiers are concentrated a lot, and they are cast in turn at the gaps. A guard raised his shield to cover the man who pushed and pulled the wooden wall, slowly but surely filling the gap. On the ground of the gap, there were many corpses of enemy soldiers, but at this time, there was no time to cover them, and the wooden female wall was crushed up, and a piece of flesh and blood was blurred. As soon as the wooden girl wall is blocked, the dead soldiers who stay outside the wall have no way to retreat, and the end can be imagined. The one who attacked the gap between the Jin soldiers of the Sticky Han Governor was also a powerful general under his command, named Hulu. It's easy to open the gap, how can the defenders of the Song army be easily blocked? Sex, take off the armor, and go into battle.

This person is eight feet tall, with a burly posture, extraordinary strength, good at using a hammer, extremely heavy, and almost no one in the dead soldiers of the Song army outside the wall can stop his blow. The hammer fell, and everywhere the skulls were broken. Blood, brains, burst all over his face. Ignoring it, he called for a fierce fight.

Seeing this, his subordinates were partial, pro-soldiers, brave, and so on, and when they saw this, they all marched forward bravely, or wore heavy armor, or simply looked like Hulu, naked and shirtless, shouting and fighting. It was almost like a storm and clouds, and in the blink of an eye, the dead soldiers of the Song Army who remained outside the women's wall were killed.

Seeing that the wooden wall had filled the gap, Hulu looked back and shouted: "Come on, stone!" The trebuchet throws boulders and hits them against the female wall.

The wooden wall is not only heavy, but also very thick. Three or two stones hit it, but it didn't do anything. Anxious, he snatched the shield of one of his own soldiers, put it on his head, blocked the arrows from the city on both sides, strode forward, picked up the hammer, and struck it hard.

His strength was not small, and every time he hit, even the wooden female wall several feet high and several feet thick could shake with it.

However, the trebuchet can't be broken, and with his strength, it obviously can't be knocked open.

Arrows rained down on the city's head, puffing down on the shield, and in a matter of moments, the shield was shot like a hedgehog. He didn't hear it. Because there are broken bricks on the ground of the gap, the bottom of the wooden female wall is high in some places and low in others. He threw away the hammer, crouched down, and shouted to more than a dozen powerful generals and personal soldiers to come forward. Some of the soldiers propped up half of the boat and covered them with arrows. Huru shouted: Listen to my orders! Count to three and work together.

He actually wanted to use manpower to lift the wooden girl wall over! It's too unbelievable. More than a dozen people, all of them were suffocating their faces red, and the wooden girl did not move at all. The snow was falling, and although he was half naked, the top of his head was steaming. A stray arrow passed through the gap in the half-cut ship.

Hulu stretched out his hand and pointed back, "See?" The Prime Minister's handsome banner is giving us orders! Thousands of military horses above and below the city, all eyes are focused here at this time! If you succeed, you will capture and kill Huyan Geng, and if you are defeated, you will be a skeleton, children, come with me. ”

Seeing that he couldn't lift the wooden wall, Hulu brought in a few spare crash cars from the city gate.

Risking arrows and stones, the golden soldiers fought desperately, and crashed one after another. The wooden female wall could not withstand the continuous heavy blows, and cracks appeared. The defending general Zuo who commanded the battle at the head of the city discovered this situation, and while dealing with the ants attached to the golden soldiers to enter the city, he urgently transferred the dead soldiers, intending to go down the wall and destroy the crashed car. However, it was a step too late.

There was a loud bang, and the female wall shattered.

What appeared in front of Hulu was not an unobstructed view of the city, but a pile of bricks and stones that were more than half a person high. He picked up the hammer and called out to his subordinates, and hundreds of people rushed one after another, jumping over the crashing cars that they couldn't take away, and rushing towards the reopened gap.

The notch is not wide. The one who rushed to the front, because there were too many people running at the same time, it was as if they were tied together, and the swords and guns could not be lifted together.

Hulu saw behind the half-cut brick wall, dozens of paces away in the city, and the giant general waved his hand. I don't know when, Wu Song ordered people to pile up large stacks of firewood, grass, and grease behind the wall, which were immediately set on fire. The wind is blowing from north to south. Smoke billows and fills the wind. Jin Bing was caught off guard and couldn't keep his eyes open. A large number of Song archers hid behind the fire, and the arrows were fired in unison. I only heard the screams endlessly, and the Jin soldiers at the forefront of the charge did not wait to jump over the brick wall, and all of them were wounded and died.

Fortunately, this time, Hulu did not rush ahead. When the smoke rose, he couldn't see anything. had to lead the army to retreat slightly.

He looked up and saw that the snow was falling. On the left and right sides, ladders rise and fall. There are many types of ladders, not only a ladder, but also a ladder, which is erected to the side of the city wall, and the soldiers climb up along it. Others, like moving platforms. Big, very tall.

This kind of ladder can accommodate hundreds of people on the platform, and the few are enough to stand dozens or nearly hundreds. Pushed by the soldiers to the edge of the city, it is equivalent to omitting the process of climbing, and the soldiers on the top can jump directly on the top of the city. Huyan Geng ordered people to concentrate artillery and trebuchets at these ladders and bombard them fiercely. and he burned it with rockets and oil. The soldiers on the ladder did not pay attention, and often burned to death.

There are tall buildings built at the head of the city, which are condescending. Many of those who are suitable for shooting are from the building. A large part of the people who burned the ladder also came from this. Jin Bing's countermeasure was to use a long-handled hook and sickle, interspersed between the ladders, and specially hooked and dragged. Three or four hooks and sickles are used at the same time, and most of the high-rise buildings will collapse as a result.

The Song sergeant used his own way, and he also used a hook and sickle. Hook the hook of the gold soldier and then cut it off. Sometimes the ladder will be cut down, and once the ladder breaks, the fallen soldier can be connected into a line. He took a few steps back, and a general ran up to him and asked what he was.

He couldn't hear it clearly.

The sound of shouting and killing around was too loud, and the loud sound of the trebuchet seemed to be in the ears, and the scalp of the people who shook was numb. He stood at the foot of the city, facing the smoke, and his feet were full of severed arms and stumps, far and near, deep and shallow depressions everywhere, all of which were the work of the trebuchet. He felt as if time had come to a sudden standstill, but it quickly returned to normal.

He asked the general, "What?"

There is too much smoke in the gap! You can't see anything at all. Rushing into the city like this is no different from sending him to death. In just a few moments, the brothers have been killed and wounded! What to do? Do you want to transfer the Iron Float?

"Why do you need Tiefutu," at this juncture, how can Hulu give up the opportunity to others. Hulu brought his own headquarters, made some preparations, and then attacked the city again.

Wu Song at the gap, on the one hand, let the soldiers who were trapped in the camp take a break, and on the other hand, let the people and heroes push a wooden female wall again. The battle of Pingyang has become increasingly fierce, and judging from the fierceness of the Jin soldiers' siege of the city, the Jin soldiers will not be able to spend long.

Hu Yan Geng's own son Hu Yan Helium, on the same day that he ascended the throne and changed the Yuan to Shaoxing, Hu Yan Geng spent the fierce battle in the siege of Pingyang.
