Chapter 148: Pull a whole body
"General Chen, it's almost time, right?"
Looking up at the sun that had begun to set westward, Wang Huifang was a little breathless, and asked Chen Wu for the third time today, or urged.
"Don't worry, it's not time yet."
Chen Wu stared at the battle at the head of the city in the distance and rejected Wang Huifang's request. Although he was touching, his expression remained calm.
"But ......"
It's not that Wang Huifang can't hold his breath, but now the battle in Wu'an City has really reached a critical point. After nearly two days of bloody battles, the elites on both sides have taken turns to go up several times. Even the most fanatical Dharma Protector Buddha soldiers felt a little impressed. The Fuhu battalion, which was more loosely trained and organized, was on the verge of collapse after nearly 30 percent of the casualties.
Wang Huifang was very suspicious that if he forced them to go up again, these guys who had just been incorporated in Longshan would have to rebel against themselves.
"We are not happy, and the officers and soldiers are even more unhappy. At this time, it is to see who can't hold their breath first. ”
Chen Wu repeated what he had said earlier, calming him down again.
At this moment, Mo Guohao, the wing commander of the second wing of the Volunteer Battalion, personally led a team of people to tear apart the defense line of the official army. Wearing chain mail, he took the lead and beheaded several exhausted officers and soldiers in a row, which made the rebels gain momentum for a while.
"A good man, he is enough to rely on the thief army!"
Recognizing Mo Guohao's identity, Kang He was furious. shouted and scolded, and brought a group of henchmen to greet him.
It's not that he has to kill this traitor, but the main reason is that he has no choice.
Seeing this scene, Chen Wu's eyes lit up.
Even the brigade commander of a garrison brigade and the highest-ranking military attache in Wu'an except Lin Anluo went into battle to fight, which can only show that Kang He really has no more troops in his hands.
"Let's go down and prepare."
Chen Wu gave an order to Sun Tian, the co-captain of the Taiping Camp and who had long been eager to try.
"It will definitely live up to the high expectations of the general!"
Sun Tian assured loudly and retreated quickly.
The elite of the Taiping battalion who got the order. Act fast. They did not march towards the east and west walls, but lined up in place, and put on a tattered outfit of a homeless man over their armor in advance, and their heads and faces were plastered. Although the inner bravery is undiminished, it seems to be similar to an ordinary boot camp homeless at first glance.
Nine brigades, nine hundred people!
At the same time as they assembled. Under the city walls on the east and west sides, there is also a thousand-strong rebel army lurking among the displaced people, waiting for the order of the surprise attack.
As early as today, when the siege began, these rebels had already moved over little by little in half a day under the cover of more than 100,000 displaced people. Since the siege of the city, displaced people have gathered on both sides every day to attack and make gestures, even if a group of people are changed now, it is difficult for the officers and soldiers to find traces. With no more elites left, the two teams were either new battalions that had already been broken up, or wounded soldiers who had previously been wounded and could not be used for a short time.
Although the number is sufficient, the combat effectiveness is almost none.
Thereinto. The rebels in the west are purely deceptive, as long as they can pretend to bluff people. The rebels under the eastern city wall were slightly better, and the first hundred people were the 10th Brigade of the Taiping Battalion.
This arrangement made Wang Huifang stunned.
said that the main attack in the south lured the enemy, and the elite of the Taiping battalion took advantage of the emptiness of the official army to build a ladder from the other two city walls to sneak attack? Why are all the rebels under the city walls on the east and west sides under the guise of a front, and the Taiping camp is not moving under the south wall?
"Could it be?"
can bring the Good Friends Association to this point, Wang Huifang's ability is not bad. looked at the unfathomable profundity on Chen Wu's face. He thought for a while, and vaguely understood what Chen Wu meant: "You want to be false and real......
I saw that the other party had a good taste. Chen Wu smiled faintly and said, "What do you think, what is the siege plan that Ben will make?" If I put you in Kanghe's position, can you see the plan? ”
Wang Huifang thought about it and gave a fair evaluation: "The plan is very thorough, and it can be described as a ring after a ring. If it is replaced by me, the authorities will be confused. It is indeed possible to make a mistake for a while. ”
The implication is that you can't hide it from me for too long.
The battle has been fought for a long time, and sooner or later, he Wang Huifang will realize that something is wrong!
"Look." Chen Wu nodded at him and said, "You can see that the Lord of the Wang Guild, can the Lin family of the Eight Great Gates be fools?" ”
was compared to the Lin family. Wang Huifang didn't feel despised instead, but felt honored. Moreover, after being mentioned by Chen Wu like this, he also saw the current situation more thoroughly.
The eight major valves are all handed down during the founding period of the Qianyuan Empire, and they have been established for more than 300 years, and amazing and brilliant characters have emerged in endlessly. The plan formulated by their own side to "attack the southern city, attract the attention of the officials and soldiers, and take the opportunity to sneak attack the other two city walls" may indeed have been seen through by them.
If that's the case......
Wang Huifang had a little more cold sweat on his face, and he had to admit that Chen Wu was thinking more far-reaching. The Lin family thought they could see through the layout, but they didn't know that Chen Wuqi was superior, and in turn took advantage of this, which was real and false. When the Lin family focused on guarding against the city walls on the east and west sides, they didn't expect that Chen Wu's main force had always been under the south city wall from the beginning to the end.
Filling the moat on three sides is really just a false and real pretense to lure the other party into being fooled!
"It's time to launch!"
Looking up at the sky again, Chen Wu made up his mind.
All the chips have been bet, buy and go!
This is the battle!
The majestic drum beat suddenly increased the tempo, and the command flag at the highest point of the camp changed. Seeing this, the rebel outposts arranged every few miles along the way relayed all the way, and quickly conveyed the order to attack to the rebels under the city walls on the east and west sides. At the same time, the Taiping camp was reorganized, and the loose formation was deliberately lined up, and preparations were made for the attack in front of the formation.
"Have the thieves reached the point where they have no soldiers?"
Seeing the unruly queue under the city wall, as well as the tattered costumes of the homeless people, some officials and soldiers inadvertently glanced down and sneered casually. Although they vaguely felt that there was something incongruous, they couldn't imagine that these disguised outcasts would actually be the most elite force of the Taiping Army.
With the arrival of Chen Wu's order, the rebel army under the eastern and western city walls quickly assembled and took the lead in attacking!
The time has come to decide the fate of Wu'an!
On the western city wall, the officers and soldiers did have 100 officers and soldiers, plus a group of militia groups recruited after preliminary examination. In the face of the previous bluffing outcasts, they were indeed able to defend effectively. But this time, the rebels really set up a ladder and crossed the moat!
The main force of the thief army is about to sneak attack!
Remembering the advice sent by Kang He this morning, the officer in charge of the western city wall panicked. While urging his subordinates to prepare to defend the city, he immediately sent people to ask Kang He for help.
At the same time, the officers and troops of the eastern city wall did the same.
Unlike the west city wall, on the east city wall, the rebel army arranged by Chen Wu really has a certain combat power. In particular, the 100 Taiping Camp rebels who took the lead crossed the river at a much faster speed than the western city wall, set up ladders, and swarmed up.
"Stop them!"
Seeing the thief's fierce momentum and agility, the captain of the officer and army felt a deep pressure.
However, the fierce thief army soon showed off his weapons that shocked him.
In addition to the rebels who were already climbing on the ladder, among the rebels guarding below, there were more than a dozen people armed with hard crossbows!
The officers and soldiers who dared to poke their heads out of the city walls, without exception, were all fired with hard crossbows. At a distance of more than a dozen paces, the hit rate and lethality of these hard crossbows are amazingly high, coupled with the defenselessness of the officers and soldiers, seven or eight people were shot in the blink of an eye!
After a round of firing, the rebels under the city walls began to reload rapidly.
More than a dozen archers were also transferred from the south city wall, and they were thrown at an elevation angle from a distance of dozens of paces to assist the rebels in suppressing the officers and troops at the head of the city.
"The thief has a crossbow arrow!"
The officers and soldiers of the eastern city wall were stunned, and could hardly believe their eyes. This kind of sharp weapon is not even available to the local second-line troops, only the main force of the empire can equip it, and the thieves in front of him can get so much!
The situation is rapidly deteriorating.
Soon, the second round of crossbow arrows of the rebels was loaded, posing a great threat to the officers and troops at the head of the city. Some elites of the Taiping Battalion took the opportunity to rush to the city and fought with the officers and soldiers.
With high morale, sophisticated equipment, and a strong physique, coupled with the fact that it was built from the very beginning, such an elite team actually suppressed the officers and troops in a frontal battle for a while. After all, the elite of the officers and soldiers who can really fight have been transferred to the southern city wall. Those who stayed here were basically the Second Brigade that had not been reorganized for a long time.
was rushed by the Taiping Battalion with this momentum, even if there were many veterans in this brigade as the backbone support, the official and military defense line of the east city wall still showed a crumbling momentum.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, more rebels rushed forward.
"Go to the brigade commander! Sue him for a sneak attack by the main force of the thieves! ”
Realizing that Wu'an had fallen into an unprecedented crisis, the captain of the official army turned pale and ordered people to immediately rush to Kanghe's side to ask for help. If they can't send reinforcements, once the thieves take the complete eastern wall, Wu'an will only have the last step left before it is completely breached, and it will be difficult to gather forces to drive them down.
The situation in Wu'an, at this moment, is already a whole body. The battle on the east and west sides of the city wall involved more than just the officers and soldiers.
Lin Yunwen had arranged spies on the city walls on both sides early to keep an eye on the movements of the rebels. As early as the moment when the rebels on both sides crossed the moat at the same time, the news came down from the city walls, and then immediately the horsemen waiting below quickly whipped back to the family's private army.
"Things moving together?"
Chen Wu's cunning made Lin Yunwen frown.
In the current situation, Chen Wu obviously has no spare strength and cannot launch an attack on both sides at the same time, and one of them must be deception. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yunwen quickly made a decision, and the main force waited for further news to come on the spot, and each sent two hundred private armies to go first, reinforcing the city walls on the east and west sides respectively.
