Chapter 635: Die Hard's Frustration
The Xuanjun broke through the city, and the army that had already arrived from behind quickly entered Fuhugang, and there were heavily armed Xuanjun soldiers in every street and every open space!
The doors of every house in the city are closed, the people inside are armed with knives, guns and sticks, and the family is all sworn to resist, just waiting for the Xuanjun to break the door, they will come forward and fight hard!
But waiting left and right, there was no movement outside, some bold and quietly walked to the door and peeked out from the crack in the door, I was obedient, there were people outside!
But those officers and soldiers just sat quietly on the steps outside, leaning against each other, sleeping with their eyes closed, and did not intend to come in!
Didn't the castle keeper say that once the city was breached by these barbarians from the Styx, the city would be slaughtered, men, women, and children would be slaughtered by them, and the food would be robbed and the houses burned by them?
In the south gate of Fuhugang, the original garrison camp has been occupied by the Xuan army, and the Xuan army can do nothing wrong with the people, but when it comes to the enemy, the Xuan army will not be so soft-hearted, otherwise it is not called mercy, it is called a fool!
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Xiaobao said to Xianyang: "I still want to reiterate one point, anyone who harasses the people, bullies the people, and whoever steals people's property and many people's food and houses will be killed!"
"Honorable Order!" Xianyang listened to the order, and then asked the guards to convey Xiaobao's words to the ears of every general and every army!
Shi Wuce stepped forward and said to Xianyang: "Is the marshal going to send troops to attack Qingzhou City now?"
Xiaobao also turned around and looked at the fairy sheep in front of the sand table. At this moment, it is close to the time of the city, Qingzhou City is still not broken, it may be that after Fuhugang was breached, the defenders of Qingzhou were even more determined to break the boat, and the resistance was more intense, and there were not only young men on the city wall, but even women were fighting!
The Tiger Courage Army did not expect that they had not suffered such heavy losses against Hu Xiao's cavalry, but against a small city with only twenty or thirty thousand defenders, they felt like they had hit their heads against the copper wall!
In fact, it is no wonder that they have never been able to break the city, and they are not good at siege warfare is one of the aspects, and the other aspect is that there were originally only twenty or thirty thousand defenders, because of the addition of the Fuhugang defenders, coupled with the tactics of the people in the city and all the soldiers, they are facing more than twenty or thirty thousand, and the number of soldiers has increased to more than eighty thousand!
In addition, the siege direction chosen by the Tigers and Tigers is at the south gate, which is a relatively low-lying place here and at the west gate, so I didn't feel how it was at first, but the charge consumed a lot of physical strength unconsciously, and it was like attacking a mountain in the back, which was extremely exhausting!
Nearly 300,000 troops surrounded Qingzhou City, and at the cost of nearly 50,000 casualties, they had not yet broken through a gate, which was simply the most humiliating battle of the Tiger Courage Army in the past ten years! Moreover, the opponent of this battle was not Hu Xiao's cavalry, but the Yin army city defense soldiers who even they looked down on!
What happened to the Tiger Courage, Xiaobao and Xianyang all saw it. The Tiger's heart has been greatly hit now, although the army is strong, but the battlefield can not accommodate too many people, can only be attacked in waves, which is equivalent to sending troops to death in batches!
Now the Xuan army can't help if they want to, because the Die Hard army has surrounded Cheongju City, and there is no place for them to attack the city!
Xianyang shook his head, looked at Xiaobao and Shi Wuce and said, "We don't have to attack, and we don't have to fight, otherwise we may make enemies with the Tiger Courage Army!"
The battle is like this, it is strange that Mo Zhan is not annoyed! Through this battle, Xiaobao and Shi Wuce have already seen that he is a brave general, but not a general! Therefore, he is not qualified for the position of marshal, even if Mo Li becomes the king of Shujing and encounters a border war, he will still be appointed as a marshal and command the army!
To deal with Hu Xiaoren, what is needed is a brave general like Mo Zhan, and there is no need for too many tactics and battle formations, what is compared is to see who is more ruthless and who is braver!
But attacking the city requires not only bravery, but also resourcefulness! Rushing over like fighting Hu Xiaoren and trying to fight the defenders of the city, people can take advantage of the city wall to kill you little by little!
These 80,000 defenders of the city can wipe out all the 300,000 Die Hards in three days! This is by no means alarmist, because half of them are still ordinary people who have not undergone any combat training, and if they are replaced by the Xuan Army, even if the Die Hard Army is doubled, they can all be killed!
Xiaobao will never allow such a thing to happen, the battlefield of the Die Hard Army should not be here, attacking the city in order to retaliate, but suffering great losses because of lack of experience, this is a stupid act, he can't watch the Tiger Courage Army of the King of Shujing not be killed by Emperor Yin, but finally died at the hands of the Yin army!
"I'll take a look!" Xiaobao said to Xianyang and Shi Wuce: "I'll go find General Mo Zhan, this way of fighting won't work, if you keep going, the army's spirit will disperse, and the casualties will be huge!"
Shi Wuce bowed down and said, "Does Emperor Zun want to let General Mo Zhan command, or do you want them to stop?"
Xiaobao thought for a while, looked at Shi Wuce and said, "This is the truce! The night has come, the Tiger Courage Army has no siege equipment at all, and it is futile to continue fighting, it is better to stop fighting!"
This is indeed what the Tiger Courage Army should do right now, Xian Yang frowned, sighed and said: "I'm afraid, General Mo Zhan will not listen to Emperor Zun's advice and insist on going his own way, and even think that Emperor Zun is humiliating him and disrespecting Emperor Zun!"
This is also something that may happen, the battle is like this, Mo Zhan must be red-eyed, although the 300,000 Tiger Courage Army is still rescued by the Xuan Army, but with his current mood, he really can't guarantee that he will not recognize his six relatives, and he is determined to take Qingzhou City!
Touching the things in his arms, Xiaobao smiled slightly, shook his head and said to Xianyang and Shi Wuce: "It's okay, I have a magic weapon, he doesn't dare not listen! You don't have to send someone to follow me, I can still come and go freely alone, someone follows but is sleepy, and he is sensitive now, he can't see soldiers, so it won't be good for him to think that our Xuanjun wants to deal with him!"
Immortal Yang and Shi Wuce looked at each other and smiled bitterly, what Emperor Zun said was not wrong at all, Mo Zhan was anxious now, and everyone began to look badly!
Xiaobao came out of the big tent, called the red rainbow and flowing clouds, and went straight to the south gate of Cheongju! The Cheongju City below was brightly lit, and the inside and outside of the city were as bright as day. The city is requisitioned by the people, and all kinds of quilts or door panels and other equipment, as long as they can come in handy in battle, are constantly transported to the city wall!
Outside the city, the Die Hard brought in a large number of haystacks and branches, and placed piles of fire under the city walls!
Xiaobao flew around the battlefield and found the flag of the Tiger's Courage Army in the southwest of Qingzhou City, this is where Mo Zhan is, and the tent is still in full swing next to it, it seems that Mo Zhan wants to fight a protracted war tonight, and he is not ready to withdraw to the camp!
Seeing a man and a horse flying overhead, those Die Hard thought that they were assassins sent by the enemy to sneak attack the Chinese army, and shouted: "Enemy attack!"
Xiaobao had no choice but to let Chihong Liuyun rise, and shouted below: "Styx Lake Xuanbao, ask to see General Mo Zhan, there is something important to discuss!"
After a while, the arrows below really stopped, and Xiaobao circled down again, and at a glance saw General Mo Zhan who was protected by the Guards Regiment, smiled slightly, let the red rainbow flow to the ground, and said to Mo Zhan who came over: "General, don't come unharmed!"
Mo Zhan laughed, walked over and arched his hand at Xiao Bao: "Sure enough, it's Lord Xuanzun! Don't be so nervous, this Lord Xuanzun is the life-saving benefactor of our entire Mohuan Army!"
The surrounding group of soldiers also knew that they were designed by Yinhu to be Gu, or the Xuanjun of the people thought of finding a way to find fire grass to solve the Gu for them, so they also gave gifts to Xiaobao and pleaded guilty for their disrespect just now.
Xiaobao waved his hand, so that everyone didn't have to be polite, turned his head to look at Mo Zhan and said, "Does the general still want to fight?"
Hearing Xiaobao's question, his expression froze, but he didn't answer, but said to him apologetically: "The army is still fighting, the general camp is being built, there is no tea to serve, I have neglected Lord Xuanzun, and I ask for your forgiveness!"
Seeing that he avoided talking about it, Xiaobao couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he knew that he didn't want to participate in the affairs of the Tiger Courage. In fact, whether it is Mo Zhan or Bu Ying, they all have a good impression of the Xuan Army, if the King of Shujing gives an order and let the Tiger Courage Army return to the Xuan Army, they will never have a second word!
But now after all, they are two teams, they don't offend each other, they are not friends, they are not enemies, although Xuan Bao saved the Tiger Courage, it does not mean that he can influence the actions of the Tiger Courage Army now, so Mo Zhan avoided talking about it, and only made friends with Xuan Bao!
However, the purpose of Xiaobao's visit this time was to persuade him to stop fighting, and if he delayed for one more second, one more person would die! So he didn't have time to beat around the bush, he still looked at Mo Zhan and said: "General, if you attack the city like this, the commander will increase the casualties, and it is not appropriate to fight again!"
Mo Zhan frowned, looking at Xuanbao with blazing eyes, he couldn't tell what kind of emotions it was, but his voice was a little smiling: "Then Lord Xuanzun thinks that our Tiger Courage Army will definitely be defeated?"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers next to him also glared angrily at Xiaobao. To tell the truth, this battle is really a nest, the Die Hard Army has not suffered such a big loss, if you don't earn this breath back, the Die Hard Army will be defeated in every battle in the future!
Xiao Bao understood what these people were thinking, shook his head and said to Mo Zhan: "The Die Hard Army is brave and good at fighting, and will not be defeated in a hundred battles, Xuan Bao does not have any contempt for it, but out of respect for the Tiger Courage Army, he wants his brothers to give away less lives!"
A colonel next to him snorted coldly and said to him loudly: "How many people have returned to fight in ancient times? How can there be immortals in a war! My Die Harden Army has nothing else, and the most important thing is this Die Courage Ambition! What are you afraid of when you die, and winning the battle is the most important thing!"
"But is it worth it to exchange a very small victory for a very large price?" Xiaobao looked at Mo Zhan with burning eyes, and arched his hand and said: "I know that the general's younger brother was killed, and the general must have grieved inexplicably, but in order to avenge his younger brother, it is worth letting thousands of Tiger Brave soldiers die in vain?"
Mo Zhan's face changed, and he looked at Xiaobao coldly and said, "Lord Xuanzun is saying that I have a personal vendetta and lost my brother's life in vain?"
The colonel next to him scolded angrily: "Xuanbao, the general's attack on Qingzhou is not for you! Now you are here again to tell right and wrong, you simply don't know what to do! Come on, drag him out to Lao Tzu and behead him!"
