Chapter 48: The Battle of Guangling (5)
Although the bow and arrow can't penetrate the oar, it can still hurt people!
The Guangling area is mountainous, so when Guangling City was built, it was built with local materials and mud from stones and glutinous rice juice. Below the city tower is the city gate, the city gate is nearly four zhang high, three zhang wide, the top of the city gate hole is cut with a boulder, Tian Fan commands the archers to shoot arrows upward, after the arrow shoots on the boulder above the city gate hole, it will bounce down, this time, the Rong army behind the canopy scratches its head!
Every time a round of feather arrows is fired, there are always a few screams! As soon as the archers saw that it was effective, their interest in sending arrows immediately rose, and for a while, the arrows rained down and the stones flew one after another, and the shooting made the Rong army want to die!
The soldiers and generals of the Zhenrong Army have not yet figured out how to deal with it, and the soldiers sent by Tian Fan to collect spirits and oil have returned!
Tian Fan didn't say a word, and asked the soldiers to throw these collected things at each other! For a while, the jar and the jar flew together, screaming and snorting in unison, making the soldiers of the Rong Army worse than dead.
But this was just the beginning, and dozens of rockets were fired over! The city gate cave is a relatively confined space, so many flammable materials are burning at the same time, the power is about the same as a bomb, only to hear the sound of a bang, a strong heat wave hit both sides! Without waiting for Tian Fan's command, the soldiers on both sides of the city gate all consciously retreated.
The canopy of the Rong army has fallen into blood mold, the canopy itself is big, several rows of canopy hands are constantly shooting out against Tian Fanfang, and the feather arrows that fell from the sky were just about to reach the city gate, and the fire was ignited, and they couldn't advance or retreat! A few extremely terrible screams came out! The sound that was strong at first slowly faded away. The smell of barbecued meat wafted from the cave of the city gate......
Zhao Yu's face turned white, he is a scribe, when has he seen this? Seeing Tian Fan's calm and calm appearance, he couldn't help but admire this young man who was a little younger than his eldest son! This is really, between talking and laughing, the canopy is in ashes! How did he know how Tian Fan felt? He's not afraid, to be honest, he's scared to death! Although I have seen the intestines of dead people in Langya, this situation is ......
Tian Fan hurriedly asked the soldiers to take fifty steps back, not only avoiding the heat wave, but also avoiding this deadly fragrance! Sniff it a little longer, and he'll have to spit it out! Sure enough, as soon as the soldiers retreated, some people couldn't stand it anymore and began to vomit! Most of them are newcomers who have never seen a war, or who have seen a few battles, so can they bear this? When I was fighting just now, I was highly concentrated, and I didn't feel any discomfort, but now, ...... Vomiting is contagious! One threw up, and then more started vomiting! So, a sound of vomiting was heard......
Tian Fan breathed a sigh of relief! The other three gates have moats, and they are not well prepared, so there should be no problem now! As long as you add fuel and firewood to the fire from time to time, if the fire can't be extinguished, Zhenrong won't be able to enter the city, and his task will be basically completed! The big deal is that the tower burns down, and even if it really collapses, it will only be rebuilt! Others, chasing down the remnants of the enemy, and catching Zhenrong, can be handed over to Zhang Fei and them to do.
In order to be on the safe side, he told a few soldiers to pass the order, and the generals of the other three gates should pay attention to defense, and there should be no loopholes.
The fire kept burning, although Tian Fan was relieved, but he didn't leave, after all, the matter was not over yet. He had to help Siyu and dozens of other Langzhong who rushed over to deal with the wounded soldiers, and he was also responsible for the overall command of the county soldiers, Zhao Yu and other family private soldiers. It's not that you can't believe them, it's that they don't fight! Xu Deng and Zhao Yu both vomited just now, and their faces were so white and scary that they might faint at any time.
Tian Fan requisitioned all the houses of all the families on the street opposite the city gate, there were too many wounded, and it was not okay to sleep on the street! Besides, Siyu and other doctors have never seen such a tragic fight, they are a little dizzy, although the injury is transferred to the nearby house, it is only a wall apart, but people are so strange, knowing that beyond the wall is Shura Hell, but out of sight, they are not upset, dozens of Lang Zhong slowly returned to their usual calmness, and they were busy dealing with the wounded soldiers. …,
In the same way, Tian Fan still taught those Langzhong how to disinfect, how to stop bleeding, how to bandage, and how to stitch up wounds. These are simple or complex, and Lang Zhong and the soldiers have never seen or seen tricks, but they have played a great role just like when they were in Langya! Siyu is the best at dealing with knife wounds among these langs, but Tian Fan uses many tricks, which she has never heard of. It's hard to say what the effect is, but just looking at the wounds on the tightened arms or legs slowly stopped bleeding, they generally understood that this person was an expert and a master!
So, all of them consciously or unconsciously followed Tian Fan to learn these new things. And the soldiers are the same, in their eyes, Tian Fan is a qualified general in battle, with clear commands and clear orders. For the various orders given by Tian Fan, although they didn't understand what was right and what was wrong, in the end they won and kept Guangling City, so Tian Fan became a famous general in the eyes of these illiterate soldiers. And now, on the battlefield, he cares for his soldiers, and the words he says when treating their wounds warm their hearts like a glass of wine. They feel that it is the glory of their lives to meet the best general in the world and fight for this kind of general!
Tian Fan did many things unconsciously, but it was this unintentional approach that slowly made his reputation better and bigger! In his opinion, he just wanted to avoid a catastrophe, but in Zheng Xuan's view, he did a good thing for the Han world, and he achieved his reputation as a "national soldier". In order to lead out Bai Yuzhu, his plagiarized "Linjiang Immortal" made him a "genius", and now Xiapi and even the whole of Xuzhou know that Dahan has such a talent as him. Saving wounded soldiers, in his opinion, is right, he is only responsible for his life, but in the eyes of these soldiers, he is a noble general, in order to save himself such a worthless soldier who is full of streets, he does not hesitate to suffer and suffer, this is a benevolent general, a general worthy of all his efforts!
This relationship, this perception, is the strongest! Just like you unconsciously make a friend, this person often becomes your lifelong confidant and friend, and is often your greatest treasure in this life.
The hour had passed, and the fire at the gate showed no sign of extinguishing, and the tower above the gate could not bear the heat of the fire and began to burn. The soldiers were very tired, Tian Fan ordered, leaving a hundred people to watch the fire at the city gate, and the others went to rest in the nearby houses.
They are indeed tired, fighting is a work of strength in itself, not to mention that they are running around with them, many of them have fought several battles, besides, they are not regular field troops, the training is not strict, correspondingly, the physical strength is not very strong. Most of the people came to the main halls, guest rooms, and even kitchens and stables of those houses, put down their weapons, and fell asleep, and in the blink of an eye, there were bursts of snoring from inside and outside the house.
Outside the city, in the camp of Zhenrong, three people sat quietly, and they seemed to be all in deep thought.
On the seat facing the door of the camp, there was a big man, this person had a dark face, no beard, a big mouth and big eyes, a rosacea nose, and a squint of his eyes, which released a fierce light. Wearing a Han general's standard armor, he held the sword on the low table in front of him in one hand and a bowl of wine in the other. He asked in a deep voice, "Tell me quickly, what are you going to do?" ”
The two people sitting with their hands down, one is a white-faced scholar, with a white face, small eyes, a small nose and a small mouth, and three locks of rat whiskers, no matter how you look at it, he is not a good person! Although he is wearing a well-fitting Confucian shirt, he can ...... Clothes racks are not good, and no matter how good the clothes are, they can't look good! The other was a general, stupid and rude, also covered in armor. Zhen Rong's words were obviously asking this scribe, that general, was automatically ignored! …,
The scribe stroked three locks of rat whiskers, and said slowly: "Dashuai, this situation is not right, obviously the other party is prepared!" ”
Zhen Rong threw away the wine bowl violently and said angrily, "I don't know? What the is this you talking about? **It's a solution! ”
The scribe nodded and said, "Dashuai, for today's plan, the villain only has four words to send you!" ”
Seeing Zhen Rong looking at him, he said softly: "Thirty-six plans, go for the best plan!" Now that the city gate is on fire, it will not be extinguished for a while, and we have no hope of fighting it! It's really not a good way to spend it here! ”
Zhen Rong said hatefully: "Then what about my family in the city? ”
The scribe rolled his eyes, do you have any family? Yes, you have a mansion in the city, and there are dozens of concubines in it, but are those people your family? You don't have Lao Tzu Niang, you don't have a baby, you don't have anything to worry about, just go. Women, there are everywhere in the world!
Zhen Rong probably figured it out, and the fingers of his right hand gently and regularly tapped the low table in front of him, and said, "Hmph! Well, that's what Mr. said! Zhao Yu and Liu Bei let me suffer from this, and I lost two generals, and I will pay him back a hundred times in the future! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly without any warning, there was a thunderclap, and then a heavy rain fell!
Zhen Rong was stunned for a moment, then he stood up suddenly, grabbed the sword in his right hand, held it tightly, and laughed wildly: "God help me!" It's God who makes me rich, hahaha! He waved his left hand sharply and ordered: "Pass my military order!" After the fire is extinguished, brave the rain to attack the city! ”
At this time, when he had already entered Yin, it was the time when people were most likely to be sleepy, and Tian Fan and the others finally finished dealing with nearly a thousand wounded soldiers. This battle was not the same as the last time in Langya, and the wounded soldiers in Langya that time were mainly arrow wounds, which were relatively easy to deal with. But this time, almost all of them were knife wounds or lacerations caused by melee combat, and it was more difficult to deal with. Fortunately, Siyu has more face, and he invited more doctors, otherwise he would not be busy until dawn. In Langzhong, there are some people who are more intelligent and quick to accept new things, and Tian Fan asked them to rush to another resettlement point for wounded soldiers after they learned it.
In this battle, Tian Fanfang suffered heavy losses, with more than 1,500 direct casualties and more than 2,000 wounded. But in the same way, the Rong side was not comfortable, and those who remained in the city were all killed or wounded and captured in addition to the few hundred who surrendered, and in the battle of attacking the city gate, his losses were not less than 500 people, including 200 cavalry and hundreds of soldiers. Especially the Tree Soldiers, that's really a good thing, an absolute one-in-a-hundred class! It is estimated that there are no more soldiers in Zhenrong...... It's a big loss!
