Chapter 125 There is a lot to be done
The combat effectiveness of the rattan armor warriors is worthy of being the most elite unit in the Minyue army, and under the blows, they still maintain an orderly formation and continue to launch fierce attacks.
Chen Sheng also knew that it would be difficult to repel the enemy with such rudimentary defensive means as boiling water, rolling wood and stones. And he knew very well, and even he already knew, that with the disparity in the offensive and defensive forces of the two sides, this defender would not be able to hold this place at all. It was only a matter of time before the walls were broken. But despite this, Chen Sheng and Hu Bugui did not have much fear, and the two of them had long known that the collapse of this city wall was a matter of time.
The catapults had already fallen apart due to their heavy burden. However, because this thing is too backward and its combat effectiveness is extremely poor, it can only play a certain deterrent role, and the actual effect of combat is not great at all, and most of the enemy troops have flocked to the side of the city wall, and the catapult has lost its actual combat significance, which is dispensable.
With the advantage of the armor and shield on his body, the rattan warrior gradually began to take the initiative in attacking. Already a small group of soldiers had climbed the ladder and climbed the city wall to start a fierce battle.
At the beginning, this force was still able to be suppressed by the defenders. Concentrate a large number of troops, and pile up the attacking guys on the city wall, or force them to retreat, fall under the city wall, and live or die unpredictably.
But once the gap is opened, it becomes extremely difficult to plug it again.
Chen Sheng's brows furrowed, looking at the enemy who had attacked the city wall, his heart was cold. Hu Bugui is still as safe as Mount Tai at this time. He had seen even more tragic wars, which added up to only a few thousand battles, and it was difficult for him to get into his eyes. He still calmly drew reserves to join the battle, and hundreds of soldiers on standby, under his mobilization, appeared all over the city at great speed, and repelled the enemy in time.
"I can't hold it here!" Hu Bugui said suddenly. The reserves have been sent by him all, except; The hundred-man Praetorian Guards and some Yue warriors on hand had no more soldiers available. But neither Chen Sheng nor Hu Bugui thought of throwing this army into the close combat of this war.
The combat effectiveness of the Praetorian Guard is superb. But the premise is that when galloping on top of the heavy cavalry, their cavalry phalanx can crush any enemy. But the defense of the city is by no means their forte. Especially when there is no armor on the body, it is simply a tyrannical thing to let the Praetorian Guards enter such a war. Although their melee combat ability is not weak, and even much stronger than the rattan armor warriors, every Praetorian Guard is an extremely valuable asset, and such a war will inevitably cause extremely heavy casualties, and it must not be wasted in such a vain.
Hearing this, Chen Sheng nodded gloomily. "You retreat with the Praetorian Guards." Chen Sheng thought for a while and said, "I'll come to the palace." ”
Hu Bugui was stunned, and his face sank: "You're not going to go with us?" ”
Chen Sheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "I want to too, but I can't go." He looked at the Dongou warriors around him and said: "Their current combat effectiveness is completely based on our previous big victory, if we escape, then the morale of the army here will be lost, and the enemy will collapse with a charge, and we will not be able to escape." ”
Hu Bugui groaned. Chen Sheng's words are very accurate. Now the Dongou soldiers worship the two of them as gods of war. Under the condition of zero deaths, tens of thousands of enemies were severely damaged, which was the first time that Dongou had achieved such a brilliant victory in the hundreds of years of fighting against Minyue. is in awe of Chen Sheng and Hu Bugui.
Originally, the two of them were worried that after Ge killed the black leopard, it would arouse the disgust and vigilance of these soldiers. But later I learned that the black leopard usually flies in the army, relying on himself to be the nephew of the king of Dongou City, acting unscrupulously, cronyism, deducting the soldiers' military food and salary, and his cronies' troops have been transferred back to help Wuyi Pass, and the remaining soldiers here are not very birdy to him. After being killed by Chen Sheng, many people secretly praised it.
Chen Sheng acts with an iron fist and is good at commanding, but he is very easy and kind when he treats the soldiers, so in less than a day after getting along, they have already recognized Chen Sheng's current status, so if Chen Sheng is here, they will not break and flee.
"Don't worry about me. It's not like you're unaware of my ability to hide. Chen Sheng smiled and said, "I have to support you at least for a while, right?" ”
"Good!" Hu Bugui responded, and then said: "The eldest prince and Lord Meng are very concerned about you, you must not have an accident, otherwise even if our Praetorian Guard withdraws safely, we will be blamed afterwards, brother, I have a bright future, you must not pull me back!" After getting along for a period of time, Hu Bugui and Chen Sheng's relationship is very familiar, and he is unscrupulous in making such jokes. Although it was a joke, it was vaguely meant to win over Chen Sheng for Fusu. Chen Sheng smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, there will definitely be no accident." ”
"Leave cleanly, don't do anything for the sake of these defenders." Hu Bugui said vigilantly. Chen Sheng is not a soldier, and he has more or less pity in his heart, afraid that he will not be willing to abandon these Dongou warriors, defend the city or leave with them. These were enough to kill Chen Sheng, and he had to warn Chen Sheng.
was caught by Hu Bugui's words, he laughed dryly and said, "How come, don't worry, I will find a way to get out of here, you just go quickly." ”
Seeing Hu Bugui quietly send a signal to retreat, Chen Sheng sighed in his heart: "It's all a living life, how can I abandon it?" After you leave, I'll let them evacuate here, and I'll find a way to leave. ”
If Hu Bugui heard his words, he would definitely go berserk and destroy the combat effectiveness of Minyue and Dongou as much as possible, which was the purpose of the Qin army.
But Chen Sheng thought that when Baiyue was included in the territory of Great Qin, these former enemies were also the future subjects of the empire. In Chen Sheng's plan, the vast southern land is an important base that can influence the future of the empire. He even had some ideas in his heart, how to build the land of Baiyue into a pillar of the empire, and turn a big burden of the empire into a solid backing for the empire. He had already mentioned some of his ideas to his teacher in letters, and as long as the teacher supported his ideas, everything was very promising!
