Chapter 129: Leading by example

Seeing that the vanguard troops easily landed in the city, the morale of the army soared instantly, and the row of drummers behind Wang Xu took out all the strength to eat milk. In an instant, the drums roared wildly, setting off a wave of turbulent waves, shaking people's hearts!

And it's not just the troops who are boarding the city that are roaring, but the soldiers on standby here also shout spontaneously when they hear the drums, but Wang Xu quickly stopped this kind of behavior, and now it's a siege battle. No one knows how long it will last, and if you can save a penny lì, you will have one more chance of surviving later.

And Wang Fei and Han Meng didn't pay attention to these, the two of them were nervous, their speed was extremely fast, and they got such a favorable opportunity, they had already climbed to the top of the city almost instantly, and one jumped up, and when the city head had not yet formed an effective block, one person sword and one sword, with a wave of his hand, cut down several soldiers blocking the city. The soldiers behind the two were also not slow, and when they saw the gap in the city opening, they immediately rushed to attack it. Although the other sergeants who climbed on the countless ladders were a beat slower than the two, their speed was not slow, and they swarmed up under the leadership of middle and low-ranking generals. And because it was strongly suppressed by the crossbowmen, the effective blocking power of the yellow turban was obviously insufficient.

Soon, fierce shouts of killing sounded over the head of Guangzong City. Seeing this scene, the generals were also in a good mood, Wang Xu saw more and more people attacking the city, and immediately shouted in a deep voice: "Han Juzi, you are in charge of the city gate, no matter what you think, you must use the city breaker and the car to smash the city gate open for me!" Wei Yuanjin, you are responsible for leading most of the soldiers and horses to use the open gap to set up a ladder and reinforce the soldiers on the city wall! ”

"No!" The two of them couldn't wait when they saw that the square shì in front of them was good, and when they heard Wang Xu's order, they immediately left with joy.

Seeing that the two of them led their respective siege equipment to move forward slowly, Wang Xu sighed and said to himself: "Hey! It would be nice if there were siege towers, but unfortunately they haven't been invented yet. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Zhi, who had been following Wang Xu, suddenly asked suspiciously: "Siege tower? Isn't a ladder a siege tower? ”

"Huh! Who told you that. Wang Xu smiled without looking back, looked ahead with his eyes and said: "The ladder is just a four-wheeled vehicle, and then fold the thick planks on the car, and when you drive to the bottom of the city, turn the upper planks over or telescopic to drive to the city wall, and then let a large number of soldiers go to the city." Although the speed of this thing is fast, if there is no cover, it is easy to be knocked back by the enemy's high poles, etc., and the guide zhΓ¬ is out of the city wall, and the soldiers marching on the ladder are also in danger of falling, and there is a gap between it and the siege tower after all. The siege tower, on the other hand, was a tall barrel-mounted cart divided into several floors. Except for the rear, the other three sides are sealed with thick material, leaving only the top layer of the front with an opening. When the siege tower is pushed to the side of the wall, a large number of soldiers can enter from the rear, climb the ladder inside the tower, and then charge directly to the wall through the gap in the front. Moreover, because it is extremely heavy, except for high-powered instruments such as catapults and giant crossbows, only fire can damage them. It's like a moving city wall, do you say fierce? ”

"Oh! It turns out that the siege tower is that thing.,I know.,I've played it in the game before.,It's really a bit fierce.,It's just the same as the ladder.,It's too slow.。 Saying that, Zhou Zhi thought about it, but asked curiously: "By the way, boss, I haven't figured it out, why Jize has a small moat, but this Guangzong big city doesn't?" If there's a wide moat here, we're not in trouble. ”

"Huh! Do you think the moat was opened up if you wanted to? He has a lot of constraints.

First, do you know how much manpower, material and financial resources it takes to dig a moat? If all the cities in the world are built, it will be much more difficult than building the Great Wall, and you are better than Qin Shi Huang!

Second, what are the small cities and inland cities built for? Do you have too much money to spend? Or are you planning to recruit a large number of people and then force them to rebel? Except for some cities with good congenital conditions, only the necessary places will be built, and those moats that are not decent in the later generations were obtained by expanding during the thousands of years of secession and war.

Third, the moat is for water, don't you tell me to dig a ditch, and then let the people fill it with water little by little, not to mention the huge amount of work, such stagnant water will accumulate waste for many years will give rise to diseases, and the people will not make a fuss? And the place with little rainfall will even dry up, so pour some water into it every three or five times? As he spoke, Wang Xu glanced back at Zhou Zhi, and then continued: "Therefore, the place where the moat is built is generally a strategic place and a place with certain innate conditions. For example, Jize is a moist land, so it is not difficult to dig a moat, and it can also absorb groundwater, stabilize the foundation of the city, and the natural water circulation system is also relatively perfect, so why not do it? After speaking, Wang Xu didn't pay attention to Zhou Zhi who bowed his head and pondered, and refocused his attention on the battlefield in front of him.

As time passed, the battle gradually entered a stalemate, and although the city walls were attacked smoothly at first, Guangzong's resistance was also surprisingly stubborn. These originally demoralized yellow scarves burst out with a strong fighting spirit under persecution, shouting Zhang Jiao's name frantically, and calmly dying! Wang Xu was also a little shocked by its tragic Cheng dΓΉ, but he really didn't expect that this group of Zhang Jiao's die-hard elements had reached this kind of crazy Cheng dΓΉ. Although relying on high morale and excellent combat power, his side has always stood on the city wall, but there are no big results. And the broken city gate was blocked by a dense number of Yellow Turban soldiers, not only Han Juzi couldn't rush in, but even Xu Huang and the cavalry rushed a few times, but there was no way, the main reason was that the people were too dense, the corpses were piled up, and the Yellow Turban soldiers were not afraid of death, so they couldn't squeeze through at all.

Seeing that all the generals were taking turns to fight, they were already very tired from noon to evening, and the sharpness of the soldiers was also suppressed by the yellow scarf, Wang Xu was anxious. What an opportunity! If you retreat now, wait for the Yellow Turban to catch her breath and block the broken place, you will pay a heavy price if you want to attack it again.

Thinking of this, Wang Xu was also angry in his heart. Suddenly, he said hatefully: "Okay! If you want to fight, I will accompany you to fight, and see who survives whom! I do not believe that your soldiers are made of iron. ”

After speaking, Wang Xu stared at the distant city wall in the stunned eyes of everyone, and said angrily: "Zhou Zhi, find me a smaller pair of light armor!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the sect members and the frustrated professor were immediately shocked, and hurriedly dissuaded: "General, don't! You are the main general, how can you take risks lightly? ”

Zhou Zhi and Zhang Jing glanced at each other, did not speak, but did not move. Xu Shu on the side couldn't help but persuade after being silent for a long time: "Husband, don't be impulsive!" ”

Seeing that everyone was persuading him, Wang Xu glanced at them, but shook his head and slowly explained: "I'm not impulsive, but I have to do it now, these Yellow Turban soldiers are all diehard members of Zhang Jiao, and under the struggle to the death, the spirit of our army has been suppressed by them." If you don't inspire the whole army, wouldn't you miss the perfect opportunity to win Guangzong? What's more, there is a threat of heavy cavalry behind them, and it is impossible to tell when they will arrive. ”

As he spoke, he took a deep breath and said resolutely: "I have made up my mind, don't say more." Gonghe returned to the camp with the crossbowmen first to help Zhao Rui build the fortifications, and Zhou Zhi immediately went to find me a slightly thinner light armor, this is a military order! ”

Hearing this, Fu Zhi immediately showed a look of respect, and after taking a deep look at Wang Xu, he immediately arched his hand and said: "In this case, the lower officials will not lose the rear." Without hesitation, he led the flag bearer to the crossbowman in front. And Zhou Zhi looked at Wang Xu's back silently, and didn't say much, turned around and went to the soldiers to look for the relatively thin light armor.

Ignoring the excited gazes of the surrounding generals, Wang Xujing rode his horse past the generals, independent of the army, riding alone, with a spear pointed horizontally, shining with a touching heroic posture under the illumination of the setting sun.

And the sergeant, who was resting on the spot, was also immediately attracted by this action and turned his gaze.

"Remove your armor!" With a loud roar, Wang Xu had already turned over and jumped off the horse.

As soon as these words came out, two people suddenly rushed out of Wang Xu's personal guards, threw away the big axe in his hand, and jumped off the horse excitedly. But before the two of them could make a move, Xu Shu's ethereal and firm voice suddenly came: "I'll come!" ”

Hearing this, the two guards glanced at each other and immediately retreated in amusement.

Wang Xu looked back at Xu Shu who was walking slowly, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face. "You're not pestering to go with me this time?"

Hearing this, Xu Shu's face did not change at all, and she still looked at Wang Xu gently, with a slight smile on her face. After staring at Wang Xu in silence for a long time, he whispered: "I will no longer be a burden to you, and I also like your heroic appearance, so I only want to support you silently." You just have to remember that when you die, I am not alone! That's enough......"

"Wen Ya ......" Wang Xu hadn't called it for a long time, and he couldn't help but call it out at this moment. Because he suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart, and now he realized that before he knew it, he seemed to have grown up, Xu Shu had also grown, and that love had also grown!

"Don't say anything now, okay?" Xu Shu walked in front of Wang Xu gently, smiled gently, and took off Wang Xu's armor directly.

Xu Shu at this moment is very beautiful, and that armor can't cover the momentary style that blooms at this moment! Quietly looking at the face that he couldn't be more familiar with, Wang Xu smiled, he didn't know why he was smiling, and he didn't even know what the meaning of this smile was......

When Zhou Zhi came quietly holding a set of light armor, the two still didn't speak, Wang Xu watched quietly, and Xu Shu quietly dressed him!

When the last buckle of the last armor was buckled, Xu Shu finally raised her head and glanced at Wang Xu affectionately, but she slowly turned around and walked towards the army, only a faint voice remained in Wang Xu's ears. "I'll wait for you to come back and tell me what you just wanted to say!"

"Urbane!" Looking at that shadow, Wang Xu suddenly felt that he was infinitely powerful, and it seemed that no one could stop him anymore!

After a while, Wang Xu took a deep breath, and without any worries, he swiped his spear, clamped it under his armpit, and rushed to the fierce battle city wall alone.

This is because the troops who have just been besieged have just been rotated, so it is now necessary to rest the soldiers who have just withdrawn. And he fought for a heroic image, which is of course more effective. After all, the dispatch of the main general cannot be like the general who leads the troops to attack the city, the first task is to command, even if he hides behind the soldiers, it is not a big problem. Since he has attacked, he must always be at the forefront, attract the attention of all his own soldiers, and encourage them to attack forward, that is, the legendary cannon fodder, otherwise what is the use of him in battle? It is precisely because the generals understand this that they are very worried about Wang Xu's safety.

And the effect was also immediate, there was a scuffle on the city wall and at the city gate, so Wang Xu's high-speed vertical leap would not be stopped by too many people, and occasionally two or three streams of arrows were shot, and they were also picked up by his spear. In the sunset, its single-handedly snatching galloping figure made the sergeant in the rear stunned for a moment, and then let out an unprecedented roar, and the battle spirit skyrocketed for a while!

"Boss! It's a good thing that I want to follow you, this damn bad thing, I have to follow you! ”

"Humph! How could I, Zhang Jing, fall behind Zhou Zhi? ”

With the voice, Zhou Zhi and Zhang Jing also rushed out one after another. Neither of them had ever been dispatched in this battle, Zhang Jing's unit was in Guangping, and Zhou Zhi was Wang Xu's guard, so although he was wearing light armor like the generals, he did not go into battle. As they rushed out, Wang Xu's hundred big axe knights also burst out with an excited roar, and they dismounted one after another and followed closely......
