The fight between Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu continued, and the snow on the ground was also swept away by Li Wenhou with his legs.
After another quarter of an hour, Li Wenhou suddenly shouted, and began to change from defending to attacking, the saber was swept by the tiger he danced, although he showed mercy to Beigong Boyu's subordinates, but he still cut Beigong Boyu's arm at an inadvertent moment, and then flew up and kicked Beigong Boyu away.
Li Wenhou only felt that the task had been completed, so he didn't dare to fight, so he immediately ran to the city.
In front of the rebel formation, Han Sui's eyes were so sharp, he was aware of all the changes on the battlefield, and as soon as he saw that Li Wenhou was about to run, he immediately shot out two rays of light from his eyes, and shouted loudly to the side chapter beside him: "It's now, rush over!" ”
Bian Zhang had already been waiting impatiently, and when he heard Han Sui shouting like this, he only stretched out his long arm and made a move backwards, and quickly rushed towards Chen Cangcheng with a group of cavalry.
Upstairs in Chen Cangcheng, Gao Fei had already noticed this change, and the crossbowmen were also ready for the fight between Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu, looking at the ground in front of him, and when he saw that Bian Zhang was about to rush through the mark with the cavalry, he shouted loudly to Zhou Cang beside him: "Zhou Cang, three hundred steps bow, start shooting!" ”
At the sound of the order, a thousand archers on the city wall stood in three columns, and quickly shot the arrows in their hands, and when the rebel cavalry just drove into the mark, the arrows fell from the hazy and snowy sky, and it was still ten archers shooting at one target, and when they landed, dozens of horses and cavalry came side by side, and their bodies were full of arrows.
The cavalry that fell to the ground did not stop the cavalry behind from continuing to rush over, but on the narrow mountain road, I saw the heads of people and horses shaking together, and the arrows in the sky also fell, and this time the arrows were shot by Liao Hua's two hundred and fifty step bows, and the three hundred step archers led by Zhou Cang quickly turned to the city wall of the urn city behind along the city wall, and continued to shoot at the mountain road. Immediately afterwards, Zhou Cang's team got off the wall of the urn city, retreated to the city gate, and raised their heads to shoot arrows, while the archers led by Liao Hua retreated along the road of Zhou Cang to the urn city.
The teams led by Guan Hai and Lu Heng also acted according to this rule, and in the end, only the strong crossbowmen with a shorter range led by Lu Heng stood on the wall of the first line to shoot. The archers led by Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Guan Hai stood in front of and behind the urn city, looking up to the sky and shooting arrows, and the arrows spread over the city wall in front of them, and quickly fell from the sky on the rebel cavalry that was constantly rushing forward.
The arrows rained down, and the arrows flying all over the sky were like dense raindrops, shooting the first wave of a thousand cavalry rushing one after another into the mountain road less than two hundred meters between Han Sui and Gao Fei, and the corpses were piled up, blocking the entire main road, and the blood stained the place blood-red, and the snow was melted by the blood, mixed into blood water.
The rebel cavalry stopped advancing, and the rain of arrows of the Han army also stopped, Gao Fei looked at Han Sui five hundred meters away through the corpse mountain, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Hou Ye's method is really good, it only took a moment to shoot so many rebels, such a dense rain of arrows, I am afraid that the rebels will not attack rashly again." Pound was dumbfounded, for him who still had some opinions on measuring the range yesterday, the strength of this shock was definitely beyond his imagination, not to mention that the large defensive weapons in the city had not yet been used.
Zhao Yun smiled, patted Pang De's shoulder, and said softly: "Brother Ling Ming, take a good look, the battle behind will be more exciting, this is the strength of our Hou Ye." ”
Gao Fei didn't speak, he shot and killed about a thousand rebels, according to his speculation, there were at least about 50,000 rebels behind, otherwise it wouldn't have caused the entire ground in Chencang to shake.
Li Wenhou came to the city tower at this time, bowed to Gao Fei, and said: "Master Hou, my subordinates failed to kill Beigong Boyu, please forgive Master Hou!" “
"You are a man of merit, what is the sin? If I were to do something to my brother, maybe I would be a little hesitant, I don't blame you, and I have to thank you for clearing the snow from the ground and revealing the mark. "Goofy.
Li Wenhou said: "As soon as my subordinates came up with Hou Ye, I heard Hou Ye talk about the submerged mark, and it happened that Beigong Boyu was fighting, so I thought of this idea. ”
Gao Fei smiled: "Your brain is quite flexible, you are now going to the catapult with Pang De and Xia Houlan, and watch my command flag be launched from far and near." ”
"No!" Li Wenhou, Pang De, and Xia Houlan replied in unison.
Zhao Yun stood alone behind Gao Fei, and just wanted to speak, but saw the pile of corpses under the city slowly squirming, and then a person jumped out of the pile of corpses, the whole person was bloody, and there were a few arrows stuck in his chest, and he jumped out with a jump, it was the rebel leader Bian Zhang.
Gao Fei and Zhao Yun looked at each other, they didn't expect Bian Zhang to be alive, and they really sincerely admired his tenacious vitality.
In the rebel array, Han Sui was even more taken aback when he saw this scene, his lips squirmed, he wanted to say but he didn't say anything, his frightened eyes widened and he looked at Bian Zhang and quickly ran back, thinking to himself: "Bian Zhang's life is really big, he can't die like this, it seems that he has to think of another way." ”
Bian Zhang came back and was quickly caught by Beigong Boyu, and the two came to Han Sui's side together, but heard Bian Zhang shouting: "The Han army's arrow array is really damn powerful, I was unfortunately hit by five arrows, if I wasn't wearing iron armor, I was afraid that I would be shot through by arrows." General Han, you have to think of a way. ”
Han Sui hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and said hypocritically: "General Bian is suffering, Chencang is a dangerous place, I have long expected it, there is a way, but General Bian is seriously injured, don't participate in the war." Beigong Boyu, you help General Bian to go to the back to treat his injuries, and I will leave it to me here. ”
Beigong Boyu nodded, and after answering, he helped Bian Zhang and walked towards the back of the team.
Han Sui's fierce eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent, looking at the backs of Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang leaving, he said slowly in his heart: "One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, I didn't expect your life to be so big, it seems that I have to find another way to get rid of you." ”
Turning over and getting on his horse, Han Sui rode his horse and walked a few steps forward, and shouted at Chen Cangcheng's upstairs: "Han Sui in Xiajincheng is the general of this righteous army, please ask the townsman Gao Fei to speak!" ”
Gao Fei heard Han Sui's voice and replied, "Under Gao Fei, I don't know what General Han has to say?" ”
Han Sui said: "Lord Gao, you and I are both from Liangzhou, now the eunuchs of the Han Dynasty are dictatorial, and the ten permanent servants are even more calamitous to the country and the people, I am in the Liangzhou rebel army, I just want to send the soldiers to Luoyang and kill the ten permanent servants, in order to achieve the purpose of the Qing monarch's side." Now passing by Chencang, I also ask the Hou Ye to open the city and let me go, otherwise, the 100,000 troops under my command are not vegetarians. Once Chen Cang is broken, all the places you pass will be slaughtered, for the sake of me and Hou Ye are both from Liangzhou, please think twice! ”
"Phew! An anti-thief is an anti-thief, what else do you say about the righteous army? Your army is full of Qianghu who often rebel, and you are also a well-known Han people, and now you are invading Sanfu with these Fanbang alien races just to occupy Guanzhong and claim the king of the world, and what is the side of the Qing monarch? If you want to fight, you can fight, although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs, and although Chen Cang is small, it can resist your army of 100,000. I advise you to withdraw as soon as possible and dismiss the rebels, otherwise, when the Han Heavenly Army arrives, it will definitely sweep away you Hulu! Gao Fei scolded eloquently.
When Han Sui heard this echo, he blew his beard angrily and glared, and he immediately said loudly: "Gao Ziyu, you will definitely regret it, I don't believe that Lao Tzu's 100,000 army can't capture your small Chen Cang?" Wait until the day the city is broken, don't blame me for not reminding you! ”
Gao Fei responded: "If you want to fight, you can fight, what is so much nonsense, Lao Tzu is waiting for you in Chen Cang City, and you have the ability to attack Lao Tzu!" ”
Han Sui was annoyed and angry, but when he saw the pile of corpses in front of him, he was also a little worried, let alone attacking, even if he had to cross this corpse mountain, it would be very difficult. This time, in order to attack Sanfu, he came with an army of 100,000, thinking that the army would be able to scare the Han army guarding Chencang when he came to the city, but he never thought that he would encounter such stubborn resistance.
He reacted quickly after being promoted as the leader from Jincheng, with the help of the huge mobility of the Qianghu cavalry, he conquered most of Liangzhou in just half a month, except for the Western Regions Wuji Captain led the troops and horses to retreat to Dunhuang, the rest of the counties were all captured, and all the places where they passed were all heard by the wind, but I didn't expect to encounter a nail in the small place of Chencang today. But he was not afraid, and just in case, he brought siege equipment this time.
He turned his horse's head, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and ordered: "The whole army retreats!" ”
Under Han Sui's order, the rebels slowly retreated, gradually moving away from Chencang City.
Upstairs in Chen Cangcheng, Zhao Yun saw that the rebels had retreated, so he said to Gao Fei happily: "Master Hou, the rebels have temporarily retreated. ”
Gao Fei said "um", and when the rebels were far away, he said to Zhao Yun: "Send the order to go down, open the city gate, and find out the corpses of those horses, it is a good choice to eat some horse meat at this time, and clean up the battlefield, collect weapons and arrows, as for the corpses of those rebels, pull them to the mountains and forests east of the city to bury them." ”
Zhao Yun said "promise", and immediately sent the order down, and more than 1,000 Han soldiers began to clean up the battlefield.
Gao Fei knew in his heart that it was impossible for Han Sui to retreat, no matter whether he led an army of 100,000 or not, he firmly believed that this defensive battle would definitely be a protracted battle and would probably last for a long time. When I turned around, I saw that the Han army in the east of the city, under the leadership of Fu Xie and Gai Xun, drove one after another, blocking the small east gate of Chencang.
"Five thousand soldiers are enough, and the rest of the soldiers will be recuperated in the back for the time being." After getting off the city tower, Gao Fei came to Fu Xie and Gai Xun, and said slowly.
Fu Xie and Gai Xun were a little surprised, as soon as they came with the team, the battle was already over, which was too fast. The two had to follow Gao Fei's orders, and sent the army back, and sent a team of military doctors and a rescue team of 300 people from the army to stay in the city, and left another 1,000 reserves to replenish the shortage of troops in Chencang City at any time.
Gao Fei saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and he felt more and more about the role of Fu Xie and Gai Xun in logistics, and he thought of Jia Xu, almost all of Liangzhou fell, so what was the situation of Jia Xu. He didn't plan to send scouts anymore, and the people he sent out were also sent to death in vain, so just like this, guarding Chen Cang, and Han Sui's rebels were consumed, quietly waiting for the arrival of Huangfu Song's army.
