Chapter 21: The Battle of the Black Nest
Black Nest, in the city.
"Report! The general's military order is here! ”
A messenger dropped from his horse and handed over a military order.
Li Fuming, the general of the Wuchao, took the military order and opened it to take a look, "Defend the Wuchao, don't attack rashly!" ”
Li Fuming instructed the lieutenant generals on the left and right, "Hang up the exemption card, and you are not allowed to go out of the city rashly." ”
Outside the city, in Huang Xiaoyuan's big tent,
"The enemy will hang up the battle exemption card, and no matter how we call the battle, no one will respond."
Huang Xiaoyuan also frowned, "Li Fuming is a veteran under Luo Xin, and he has always been known for his stability and good at defending the city. ”
The surrounding generals clasped their fists and responded: "No! ”
Of course, all these ordinary soldiers don't know, in the blink of an eye, it has been ten days since the Youzhou army entered the siege of Wuchao, but the gate of Wuchao is closed, and Li Fuming's banner stands firmly at the head of the city, ignoring any temptation and provocation.
Although the siege equipment was being built in an orderly manner, several attempts to siege the city ended in failure, Huang Xiaoyuan didn't seem to be in a hurry, and asked the soldiers to build two new barriers outside the military camp on the south bank to resist the enemy.
So in Zuo Houde's view, this siege is too leisurely, but he also understands that this is the calm before the storm, once the real battle begins, it must be fierce, so in the past few days, Zuo Houde has always been a soldier who does not leave his body, his sword does not leave his hand, and he sleeps every day, ready to fight at any time.

After a long period of marching and fighting, Zuo Houde's strength and agility have increased, and his luck has also increased a lot due to being a military commander.
On this day, there seemed to be new news in the barracks, saying that the city of Los Angeles had been broken, and Luo Xin had killed himself on the city wall. The news also came out of nowhere, and in one day it spread throughout the barracks. This relieved the depression of the Youzhou army's failure to build an inch in the ten days of the siege, and there were joyful laughter everywhere.
Zuo Houde only felt a little strange, Los Angeles is also a giant city, and Luo Xin, the general of the expedition to the north, is in charge himself, how can it be broken so quickly? Of course, Zuo Houde is just strange, and he is also in this atmosphere, and he is much more relaxed than usual.
"The prince personally commanded 100,000 elites in Youzhou, and he captured Los Angeles within three days."
"In the first battle of Los Angeles, more than 30,000 enemies were killed, and the enemy army was defeated, no wonder there are no reinforcements coming to Wuchao these days."
On the arrow tower at the head of Wuchao City, Li Fuming also noticed the abnormal movement in the Youzhou Army camp and frowned.
"The Youzhou Army seems to be happier today than ever, isn't there some news from outside?"
As the chief general in Wuchao City, he has always instructed the city to pay attention to the movements of the Youzhou army and observe the movements of the Youzhou army: whether there are new enemy troops arriving, whether there are enemy troops leaving quietly, those seemingly ordinary dispatches, and even the number of enemy campfires when cooking, he has to record them one by one. And we can't mistake the strategy, because in these years of war, we always like to mislead the enemy by reducing or increasing the number of targets.
In addition, it is necessary to note the various arrangements of the enemy camp: where the two ramparts are the weakest, where are the tents, where the men live, where the horses and chariots are concentrated?
But the sun was rising, and at noon, the Youzhou army suddenly shot a rain of arrows, and the arrows were all carrying letters.
"L.A. is lost! Luo Xin is dead! The army of King Yan has arrived! Still not surrendered? ”
By the time Li Fuming received the news, the news had spread in the city.
Some people didn't believe it: "Impossible, the general personally led 100,000 troops to sit in Los Angeles, how could the army be defeated?" ”
Some soldiers believed: "That's King Yan!" ”
Of course, more people are skeptical, and Li Fuming is even among them, thinking of Luo Xin's military order and today's changes outside the city. I can't help but believe it.
But he still made a single decision that he couldn't let this news spread in the city, but he understood that it was better to block it than to be sparse, and he couldn't order the collection of the letters on the arrows outside the city, and gather the guards on the left and right to spread some news.
"King Yan died in Los Angeles!"
"The Youzhou army defeated Los Angeles!"
When rumors were still spreading everywhere in the city, Huang Xiaoyuan was swearing in the Youzhou army outside the city.
"L.A. victory! The prince has broken the city! ”
"The great husband's meritorious service is at this time!"
"I've ordered the rest of the grain and grass to be burned, but there is no shortage in these cities!"
"Beat the drums and help the siege!"
Zuo Houde also heard Huang Xiaoyuan's words, and at this time, he already realized in his heart that the news of Los Angeles was hypothetical, otherwise why burn grain and leave no way back.
Of course, most of the soldiers around them don't know, they only know that King Yan broke through Luocheng, Luo Xin killed himself, this time the Youzhou army was won, and the enemy in the city was a merit for them, and now there is no way back, breaking the city and grabbing merit.
The horn sounded, and the Youzhou army began to attack the city.
It was a devastating battle, and there were no reserves. The whole army is dispatched to carry offensive equipment, and in order to ensure the efficiency of the attack, all the military forces that can be mobilized will be invested, and reserves cannot be accumulated.
Now it's time to pursue the ultimate attack intensity, like a flash flood erupting and drowning the enemy in one fell swoop.
A black battle flag fluttered in the wind, the bright spears and halberds were dazzling, a team of black-armored soldiers lined up in a neat queue, and a column of chariot cavalry guarded its left and right, under the command of a strong and low drum, they stepped on the same pace, pushing the siege equipment that was rushed out, and walked firmly towards the black nest.
"The Youzhou Army is here!"
Sharp shouts resounded throughout the city, and everyone's faces froze, and the soldiers in the city did not care about gossip, and then went to the city to defend against the enemy.
Zuo Houde put on armor and held a shield, held a spear, and took the lead, leading his soldiers to advance in formation. The rain of arrows from the city, covering his shield, did not hurt him in the slightest.
The soldiers on the city wall desperately shot arrows into the Youzhou army formation, but they couldn't stop these excited Youzhou soldiers. Li Fuming on the wall shouted from time to time but looked weak, and many soldiers in the city were obviously demoralized.
Finally, Zuo Houde approached the city wall, threw away the spear in his hand, held a shield in one hand, climbed the ladder, and from time to time there were arrows shooting at him, Zuo Houde took a shield to block, of course, there were arrows shot, the arrow did not enter the arm, Zuo Houde gritted his teeth and quickly climbed the ladder, and when he reached the wall, four or five enemy soldiers rushed towards Zuo Houde.
Zuo Houde hit the shield and knocked it over, the probe grabbed a pole Changge, and strode forward with a stab, Changge cut off a person's head, the head fell down the city wall, blood gushed, Zuo Houde struggled to shout: "The first to climb!" Youzhou Zuo Houde! ”
A defender behind him picked up a spear and was about to stab him, but Zuo Houde turned sideways, and Changge swung it and slapped it down the city wall. Zuo Houde strode forward, the big shield slammed forward, overturned five or six defenders, by the same as ploughing the land, pushed and pushed, the defenders fell down the city wall one after another, Zuo Houde struggled to rush to the front of the defenders' flags, the surrounding defenders did not dare to stop, Changge slashed, and the battle flags fell in the eyes of the sergeants on both sides.
Zuo Houde shouted: "If you don't descend at this time, when will you wait!" ”
Huang Xiaoyuan, who was under the city, saw Zuo Houde on the city wall, killing the enemy and cutting the flag, and he was brave in blood: "What a strong man!" ”
