Chapter 511: Assassination Out
Three bursts of arrows rain in a row, taking the lives of more than 200 defenders, but the defenders also adapted to the siege method of the Xiliang army, as long as the shield was erected to resist the flying arrows, the archers could also counterattack while the gap was over, and the two sides came to each other, and they were very happy.
With the rumbling of war drums, countless soldiers set up the ladder and ran quickly in the direction of the city wall, they were racing against time, taking advantage of the defenders' lack of reaction, the ladder was erected on the city wall, their task was completed, a second slower, they could be greeted by a deadly arrow.
In order not to slow down the speed, many soldiers are lightly armed, carrying ladders and galloping, which is a great test of physical strength.
Dong Yue pulled out the saber at his waist and ordered, "Kill!" ”
Some soldiers didn't react from Fang Cai's combat mode for a while, and after seeing the movements of the surrounding soldiers, and then looking at the city, they hurriedly pulled their bows and arrows, and shot arrow after arrow at the dense soldiers under the city.
Li Ru is a military advisor, but not a general, and he is not proficient in the training of soldiers, these things are all in the responsibility of the generals in the army, and the abilities of the generals are also uneven, even if Dong Yue has a great determination to fight a decisive battle with the Xiliang army, the strength of his soldiers cannot be improved because of determination.
The wooden boulder smashed towards the city without his life, many of the defenders in the city were newcomers, the first time they went to the battlefield, they lacked the tempering of war, without him, Dong Yue did not trust the Xiliang army that Li Ru subdued, but only appointed a small number, most of them were re-recruited soldiers.
A defender's wrist trembled and pulled up the bowstring, just half of it, because of excitement, the arrow flew out of his hand, and the sparse arrows did not have any impact on the morale of the Xiliang army.
Ladders were raised to the city wall, and soldiers in armor climbed up the city along the ladders, holding shields in their right hands.
"Kerose!" Dong Yue calmly ordered.
A jar of fire oil poured down the city, and the besieging soldiers saw that there was no effect, and crawled up to the city with a roar.
"Rocket!"
When the oil met the rocket, it instantly ignited a raging flame, and under the scorching heat, the soldiers wrapped in armor let out a painful wail, they were warriors, not afraid of death, but the death of the burned nest was unbearable.
The flames did not cause any damage to the iron-clad ladder, but the tragic situation of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army shocked the spirit of the defenders, and the enemy's wails were like the sound of heaven in their ears, and they threw the wooden boulders into the city as if they were desperate.
It wasn't until Dong Yue ordered it to stop that he stopped such endless profligacy.
After this battle, the trained soldiers have some experience of defending the city, just firmly guard the city, prevent the opponent's cold arrows, and prevent the enemy from climbing the city wall.
I thought that when the army had just arrived, I would let the defenders in the city see the strength of the Xiliang army, but I didn't expect Dong Yue's methods to be so sharp and vicious, and he actually used fire oil to burn the soldiers.
After losing nearly three hundred soldiers, and not even climbing the city wall, Huang Zhong's face was a little ugly, "Dong Yue is vicious, I don't know if you have a good strategy for attacking the city?" ”
"General, Dong Yue only relies on the benefits of the city, and the thunderbolt and the crossbow can greatly suppress the defenders, it is expected that there is not much food and grass in the city, and the army will besiege it, it will not take much time, and when the food in the city is exhausted, our army can capture Daijun." Guo Jiadao: "And after other counties and counties in Bingzhou hear the news of the siege here, they will also lead soldiers to come to the rescue, and the cavalry of our army can ......."
Huang Zhong shook his head slightly: "On that day, General Lu used 3,000 vanguard troops to capture Gaonu in Fuxian County without blood, not to mention an army of 10,000 people?" ”
"General, Dong Yue is strict in governing the army, and the soldiers defending the city were a little flustered at first, but under his dispatch, they quickly launched a counterattack, and they should not underestimate the enemy." Guo Jia persuaded.
When the cavalry's archery can not have any good effect on the defenders in the city, the cavalry will lose its deterrent power, and the cavalry can not let the cavalry hit the city wall, and the war of attrition, although it can be effective for a long time, can reduce the loss of soldiers.
Dong Yue led the soldiers to defend the city, in the tempering of the war again and again, the soldiers grew rapidly, but as Guo Jia said, there are not many grain and grass materials in the city, the Xiliang army suddenly launched an attack, Li Ru was not fully prepared at all, the Xiliang army has already come to the city, and now the war is ongoing, if you want to support the grain and grass, it is extremely difficult, the battlefield is wandering around the cavalry of the Xiliang army, it seems to be the cavalry of the state, how can the enemy, with cavalry continue to sweep away the sneak attack, not to mention a grain transportation team, it is a large army coming, Xiliangjun also dared to eat it.
The county town can't be broken in one day, Huang Zhong is more and more anxious, there is no way, delayed for a moment and a half, that is, the military merits are flowing outward, he is the commander of the first army, which is of great significance, if he is blocked by a small Daijun, he will not have face when he goes back.
"General, in the siege battle, the soldiers at the bottom are fighting with their lives, don't ignore tens of thousands of soldiers because of one person's fame." Guo Jia said earnestly, from Huang Zhong's recent performance, he vaguely guessed Huang Zhong's thoughts.
"The words of the military advisor are yes, but I was too eager for quick success and ignored these, thanks to the reminder of the military advisor." Huang Zhong thought for a moment and bowed to Guo Jia.
Guo Jia hurriedly got up, helped Huang Zhong up, and said, "General Huang doesn't have to be like this, you are also for the lord." He didn't expect that Huang Zhongtang, a chief general, would salute the military advisor.
"Rest assured, the tens of thousands of soldiers in the army are the efforts of the general, and the general will never use their lives to pave himself for meritorious service."
With Huang Zhong's promise, Guo Jia is also a lot more relieved, Huang Zhong is a general who has been promoted for a short time, and he must want to establish some merits to seal the mouth of Youyou, ignoring the low-level soldiers, and Huang Zhong's cooperation time is not short, Guo Jia understands Huang Zhong's personality, so he will have a conversation today.
Late at night, in the big tent of the Chinese army, thinking of the war, Huang Zhong couldn't sleep, and suddenly he thought of Zhang Xiu, the skills of the lone wolf soldiers, all of them are the strongest among the soldiers, especially used to sneak attack the city at night, it is definitely a sharp weapon, if the army in the city is negligent in prevention, it is not a problem to break through the county in one fell swoop.
"General Huang, as the commander of the army, seems to be very anxious?"
When Huang Zhong heard this, his face changed greatly, he pulled out the sword on his waist sonorously, and shouted: "Who actually trespassed into the tent of the Chinese army? ”
A person flashed out of the darkness, with a sword hanging from his waist and his steps fluttering, giving people the feeling that he might fly at any time, it was Wang Yue, who was appointed as the commander of the assassination.
"Is that you?" Huang Zhong questioned, he was the commander of the First Road Army, but Wang Yue was not a person in the army, and the two had nothing to do with each other.
Wang Yue smiled and said, "Old General Huang, can't Wang come?" Looking at the world, there is no place that my king cannot go to. ”
These words were extremely arrogant, Huang Zhong just snorted coldly and did not refute, he is the boss on the battlefield, there is no need to talk to a martial arts master.
"Doesn't General Huang want to capture Daijun, and when Zhao Yun or the lord's army comes, his face will not look good."
Huang Zhong looked at Wang Yue's eyes full of puzzlement, "What does Lord Wang mean by this?" He only knew that Wang Yue was working under Jia Rong, but he didn't know what position he held.
"Dong Yue in the county town, don't worry, Wang is willing to solve it, what does General Huang think?" Wang Yue said with a smile.
Huang Zhong snorted coldly: "There is no evidence, Lord Wang's body is strong, but there are thousands of defenders in the city, how difficult it is to kill Dong Yue." If Zhang Xiu said such a thing late at night, Huang Zhong would have believed it for three points, and if he was replaced by Wang Yue, his credibility would plummet.
Wang Yue's face was unhappy, no matter who was despised, he would not feel good in his heart, not to mention that Wang Yue, who was in charge of the assassination, thought that the soldiers in his hands were not weaker than the lone wolf, "General Huang, please wait and see, raise the fire as a signal, and then General Huang will lead the army into the city." ”
After speaking, Wang Yue turned around and left the Chinese army's tent.
Huang Zhong looked at the back of Wang Yue leaving, and his face couldn't help but show a trace of expectation, those who dare to talk big generally have some materials, Wang Yue dared to break into Helan Mountain alone, not only needs to be strong in martial arts, but also meticulous, and will definitely not depreciate his identity to come to the Chinese army tent to say such a thing.
"Ding Ding Ding" made a few soft sounds, and several black-clothed people followed the ropes nailed to the city, like agile spirit monkeys, and their bodies rose rapidly.
Just climbed the city wall, the man in black looked at the four directions vigilantly, the soldiers guarding the city were patrolling not far away, and did not notice the situation here, Wang Yue did not rely on the rope, ran a few steps quickly, a little on tiptoe, the body was in the air, and when he was about to fall, "Oh" kicked a few times in a row against the city wall, and the body rose again, three times in a row, he had already climbed the city wall.
After Wang Yue climbed the city wall, more black-clothed people climbed the city wall, and after a while, sixty people gathered on the city wall, and under the cover of night, there were no patrolling soldiers to find it for a while.
"Action!" Wang Yue shouted, sixty black-clothed people dispersed into three teams towards the city, Wang Yue went straight to the city alone, his steps were light, but after a while, there was no longer a figure.
The man in black had just left for a moment when a patrolling soldier arrived, looked around, saw that there was no situation, and shook his head and went to the next place.
Wang Yue lay in ambush in the dark, quietly waiting for the opportunity.
About half an hour, the west of the city, the east of the city, the south of the city, suddenly boiled, there were three places lit fires, after the patrol soldiers found out about the situation, immediately rang the gong in their hands, for a time the sound of bells was endless.
"General, it's not good, the west of the city and the east of the city and the south of the city are on fire, and the fire is raging." The guards outside the camp tent broke into Dong Yue's camp tent and said urgently.
