Text Chapter 287 Front-and-back strikes

If Zhang Chao is strong, he will be able to better develop the economy, and the people's lives will be better and better. And every soldier is also a beneficiary, their family and relatives have benefited from this, as a soldier, every time he has a vacation home, he has been nagged in the ear countless times, that is, he must be a good soldier, work hard to protect the fruits of victory now, work hard to achieve military achievements, and strive to be a general in the future, glorifying the ancestors.

The advice of the family is especially in the ears, and now I see the enemy rushing up, it is the time to make meritorious contributions, where will any soldier dare not die? After Xu Rong's order, the archers immediately began to shoot arrows at the city at the risk of being hit by a boulder.

The east of the river was originally rich in iron and salt. As a supply of iron tools, the number of bows and arrows here is particularly high. Under the advocacy of Li Ru and Xu Rong, preparations for war have long begun. Now when it was finally useful, the bundles of bows and arrows had long been carried over the towers, and now they began to be fired, and they were smashed like a torrential rain.

The dense bows and arrows like a torrential rain fell from top to bottom and shot at Dong Zhuojun who rushed forward, and suddenly the army fell in pieces.

"Rush, the second echelon continues to give me up." Seeing that the first attack team was blocked by bows and arrows, Li Meng, as the main general, did not blink his eyes, and the second military order was handed down.

Another echelon of 5,000 men rushed forward against the rain of arrows, and they had a lot more shields in their hands to ensure that they could suffer the least casualties.

Above the head is a boulder that does not know when it will come and where it will fall, and below is Dong Zhuo's soldiers who are holding shields and screaming, under such pressure, the role of archers is much smaller. The commander, Xu Rong, the commander, immediately made a decision, ordered the archers to retreat, replaced them with giant trees and fire oil, and began to smash them at the enemy soldiers who were climbing the ladder below the city.

From the very beginning of the war, it was cruel, and people died every breath of time. But both armies were rushing for their own purposes, and no one flinched. In fact, in such a brutal war, it is impossible to retreat, and the people behind you will push you forward.

The war lasted for three hours, and Li Meng had already sent the seventh echelon, which means that he had already sent 35,000 men to attack the city this time.

This is very fast and powerful for a siege war. However, Anyi City has still not been captured, and Xu Rong, who is also full of men, can now command an army of 80,000, and he has a natural advantage as the defender of the city.

By the time the battle continued into the afternoon, both sides were a little tired, and the entire city wall was stained with red blood, and the corpses under the city began to pile up.

On the top of the city tower, Xu Rong took the lead and took the initiative to fight, and led the team to break several battles of Dong Zhuojun's landing.

"General, take a rest, if we continue like this, we can capture Anyi City, and I am afraid that we will be powerless to resist in the face of Zhang Chao's counterattack." Seeing that tens of thousands of soldiers had died in one day, Yang Ding, as a deputy general, said worriedly.

"Okay, retreat and rest, tomorrow is attacking, I don't believe that this wall will be made of iron." Li Meng also saw the loss of the army, and in one day of siege, 30,000 horses were killed, which was one-fifth of his army, how could he not feel distressed.

Finally, the sound of gold sounded, and Dong Zhuojun, who rushed forward, immediately retreated like a tide after hearing the order, no one is not afraid of death, although the war is not over, no one knows the result, but it is a good thing to live one more day.

The enemy army finally retreated, and Xu Rong, who was covered in red blood, also breathed a sigh of relief, so he hurriedly said to the soldiers around him: "Quick, carry the wounded to the city, arrange treatment, and at the same time let the reserve army come up to defend the city." ”

Zhang Chao has Hua Tuo in his hand and has a Zhangjia Medical College that has spent a lot of money, which allows him to have enough military doctors in every army, which is also the best way to reduce battlefield casualties.

Xu Rong arrived at the city with a bloody battle, and when he saw the military advisor Li Ru, he hugged him and said: "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life and defended the city." ”

"The general is hard, in this way, you can go down and rest, and there will be a big battle in the evening." Li Ru looked at Xu Rong, who was covered in blood and his eyes were a little blood-red, and said with a sigh.

In this day's siege battle, he lost 10,000 horses and horses in exchange for more than 30,000 wounds on the other side, which was all the credit of Xu Rong's good command. To say that Dong Zhuojun is indeed very powerful, far more powerful than the ordinary Central Plains Army, it is a good result to be able to obtain such a record.

"Okay, it's time to work hard next." After Xu Rong hugged his fist, he rested in the company of his own soldiers. However, Li Ru personally went up to the city tower, looked at the blood flowing all over the ground, and couldn't help but sigh: "It is said that one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and it is true." ”

Under the city tower, after Li Meng decided to withdraw his troops, he led the army to retreat five miles and began to camp.

Originally, I wanted to rush straight to Anyi with the help of morale and spend the night there. But now it seems that Li Ru and Xu Rongfei are idle people, and they actually defended them, so they can only camp in a hurry.

The army of more than 110,000 people packed up for more than an hour before the camp was set up. After entering the newly set up camp of the Chinese army, Li Meng said to the deputy general Yang Ding: "General Yang, the soldiers are very tired from attacking the city during the day today, you go and arrange for them to eat and rest early." By the way, I want to trouble you to be on duty tonight, I'm worried that Li Ru will come to steal the camp. ”

"Don't worry, general, I'll arrange it myself." Yang Ding replied with a fist.

The battle during the day did not achieve the expected results, and even suffered a lot of casualties, which made the morale of the army a little low. After Yang Ding learned of this, he immediately arranged for his generals to go to the battalions for mobilization, and he himself selected 10,000 elite soldiers and prepared to be on duty at night. He was confident that unless the enemy did not come, once he appeared, he would not be able to take advantage of the other party.

That night, when the moon was high in the sky, Xu Rong, who was already in good spirits after resting, went out of the West City Gate with 50,000 soldiers of the Sixth Legion.

In the battle during the day, the soldiers of the Sixth Army did not participate, in order to rob the camp at night, and now under the leadership of Xu Rong, they are all ready to make meritorious contributions.

Xu Rong stepped forward cautiously with the soldiers of the Sixth Legion, but when he had traveled three miles, the lights suddenly brightened in the distance, and then he saw General Yang Ding, who was wearing black armor, leading the way to greet him. While riding forward, he also shouted loudly, "Xu Rong, I knew that you would rob the camp, and I have been waiting here for a long time." ”

"Up!" Seeing that the robbery of the camp was discovered, Xu Rong did not intend to retreat, but after shouting, he rushed forward with the soldiers of the Sixth Legion.

Relying on the advantage of a large number of people and such a high morale, Xu Rong did not flinch, led his troops up, and became a group with Yang Dingjun.

Yang Ding originally thought that he had seen through the other party's trick of robbing the camp, so that the other party would retreat. Seeing that the other party was overwhelmed, he had to order all the soldiers on duty to be transferred over, and at the same time arrange for someone to notify General Li Meng and bring troops to help.

After doing this, Yang Ding also took all the soldiers around him and ran towards Xu Rong.

Originally, he just thought that it was a small robbery camp, but he never expected it to turn into a battle, and Li Meng, who learned the news, put on his battle armor and walked out of the Chinese army's tent with a snort. While riding on the healthy horse brought by his own soldiers, he said: "This Li Ru and Xu Rong obviously don't want people to rest, but do you really think that I am afraid of this?" Even if you want to engage in night battles, Lao Tzu will accompany you. Someone come, tell the soldiers in the barracks, get up, take up their weapons and rush with me, and strive to open the city of Anyi in a battle. ”

Li Meng began to mobilize the soldiers of the entire barracks, and suddenly the barracks became noisy in the middle of the night, with shouts, shouts and even scolding everywhere.

Ahead, Yang Dingzheng retreated, he only had 10,000 soldiers, how could the 50,000 soldiers of the Sixth Army who had rested enough be opponents, and he was severely injured after the chaos, so he led the army back.

Seeing that Yang Ding led the army to retreat, Xu Rong raised his arms and shouted: "Kill, kill together, and eliminate Dong Zhuojun tonight." ”

The six legions with the victorious division, the morale is like a macro rush forward. Yang Ding sent troops to resist while running, and when he retreated to a mile in front of the barracks, he finally met General Li Meng, who rushed to support.

"General, the enemy is fierce, I'm afraid there are more than 50,000 people." As soon as he saw Li Meng, Yang Ding hurriedly reported the battle situation.

"It's okay, I'm here with a large army, and this time I'll completely wipe them out." Li Meng said with a fearless expression. On the contrary, he also hopes that the opponent will have more people, so that he can hope to win the battle.

Li Meng was fully prepared, and after joining Yang Ding, he led the army forward. Under the leadership of the two generals, the soldiers behind him were also arrogant and abnormal, and they looked like they were about to win.

"General, the other party's reinforcements are coming, how are we?" An adjutant general suddenly stopped when he saw Dong Zhuojun who was fleeing, and when he began to counterattack, he hurriedly turned around and reported to Xu Rong, who was leading the army.

Listening to the lieutenant's words, Xu Rong did not show a trace of fear, on the contrary, he said with joy on his face, "Are they all here?" That's good. ”

The deputy general didn't know what Xu Rong meant by this, and when he came, he suddenly saw Dong Zhuojun, who was rushing towards them, and began to mess up.

In Dong Zhuo's army, the main general Li Meng and the deputy general Yang Ding suddenly received an incredible news, that is, in their rear, a black-clothed cavalry suddenly appeared, and the number was tens of thousands, and it was killing from behind them.
