Chapter 33 Two arrows break through the desert north
After Zuo Houde received permission to siege the city, he gathered his men and horses.
Of course, it is difficult to get down in Mobei City, and Zuo Houde must also boost the morale of the soldiers.
Standing on the high platform, Zuo Houde shouted loudly: "Gentlemen! The general's choice of me as a pioneer is not only an opportunity for me, but also an opportunity for you to wait. Today's attack on Mobei City, I took the lead. I retreat, and the kings behead me; If the princes retreat, the military marquis will behead the kings; The military marquis retreated, and the tun general beheaded him; Tun will retreat, and the team will behead him; So below, those who retreat are killed. Do you know my words? ”
This passage is when Zuo Houde was Luo Lie's personal guard at that time, and when he heard what Luo Lie said, he is indeed picking up people's teeth now, but this passage is very morale-boosting!
After hearing this, the morale of many soldiers in the audience was obviously high, and they all shouted: "No! ”
"Out of town!"
Zuo Houde took the remaining more than 3,000 soldiers under his command out of the city gate, Zuo Houde originally had 6,000 subordinates, but when he attacked Haocheng before, there were a lot of casualties, but now it is only 3,000, Zuo Houde is also not shooting, no matter how many defenders in Mobei City are, there are no more than 200,000 troops in Dingcheng.
Zuo Houde's 3,000 men and horses are just pioneers, once the situation is opened, the army behind will naturally follow.
Zuo Houde instructed his soldiers to line up in formation, hold shields in their hands, and slowly advance until they were more than 200 steps outside the city. A rain of arrows from the defenders on the city walls attacked.
It's not that Zuo Houde hasn't attacked the city, but such a dense rain of arrows, Zuo Houde has really never seen it, no wonder, the previous two attacks were unsuccessful, this feeling of being a hedgehog outside the city is really uncomfortable!
This Mobei City is that the city wall is wide enough, and the city wall can accommodate enough soldiers, so it can release a dense rain of arrows.
From time to time, a stray arrow shot a soldier in the leg and foot to the ground, and these soldiers who were hit by the stray arrow could only use their shields to block the vital points on their bodies and reduce their injuries.
As soon as Zuo Houde turned around, he saw that more than 100 soldiers had been hit by stray arrows, and it was not possible to go on like this, and his 3,000 people could not be given up in this rain of arrows, so he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Speed up!" ”
At this time, there were more people who were hit by the arrow, and finally Zuo Houde and others walked a hundred steps outside the city, through the gap in the shield, Zuo Houde saw the guards in the city, and the guards in the city were also different, he actually wore a bright silver armor, I am afraid that I want people to know that he is the guard of this city gate.
But he didn't know that the guard didn't want to, but he had to boost morale, so he stood high on the city wall, wearing bright silver armor, so as to increase the morale of the soldiers in the city.
After all, the defenders could see the guard in bright silver armor at a glance, and knowing that the guard was with them would naturally boost morale!
Of course, the guard is not stupid, not only is he wearing heavy armor, but he also has a big shield in front of him, just afraid that someone in the city will want to shoot him.
Zuo Houde had already seen the defenders of the city clearly at a glance, so he immediately ordered his subordinates: "Bring the bow and arrow!" ”
The subordinates immediately handed the strong bow and arrow in their hands to Zuo Houde, and after Zuo Houde took it in his hand, he set up the arrow, drew the bow, and released the arrow. In less than half a breath, he shot the bow and arrow in his hand.
The feather arrow went straight to the guard on the wall, the speed was extremely fast, the guard Jiang didn't notice it, the feather arrow went directly through the shield, pierced the heavy armor, and pierced the guard with an arrow through the heart, and the guard fell down in response to the sound and fell down the city wall, Zuo Houde shouted: "The guard is dead!" Attack! Attack! ”
The surrounding soldiers were even more excited, and shouted in unison: "Cai! ”
However, the defenders of the city also saw the defenders fall down the city wall, and their morale suddenly dispersed.
Zuo Houde made a meritorious service with an arrow, but did not stop, and soon the second arrow feather arrow shot out, and the feather arrow went straight to the big flag on the city, but in an instant, the big flag on the wall had fallen!
This banner is very difficult to cut down, let alone with a bow and arrow, and only with Zuo Houde's strength, with a strong bow and arrows, can he shoot down the banner on the wall!
After a while, the soldiers around Zuo Houde all looked at Zuo Houde with respect and shouted: "The general shoots!" ”
However, the soldiers on the city wall didn't know what was happening, but they saw that their own banner had fallen, and the guards were no longer around, and the arrow rain on the city suddenly weakened a little, and Zuo Houde and others took this opportunity to march quickly.
It's just a hundred steps, and after someone reorganizes the defenders in the city, Zuo Houde and others also Zuo Houde walked outside the moat, Zuo Houde immediately organized the soldiers to take the ladder, the arrow rain is still very dense, Zuo Houde can't care about the left and right, and rushes to the top of the ladder, just holding a shield in his hand.
Not long after, the defenders of the city shot arrows directly towards Zuo Houde, the dense rain of arrows, Rao is Zuo Houde's armor is thick, and he still holds a shield in his hand, but it can only protect the vital points around him, and he has been hit by arrows in many places on his body.
At this moment, what you want is time, Zuo Houde just climbed three steps on the ladder, then kicked hard with both feet, jumped on the city wall, picked up the shield and rushed directly to the archers on the wall, seven or eight archers were hit by him like this, and suddenly fell off the city wall, but at this moment, Gu Zuo could not be inherent, and he was hit by a few feather arrows in the back.
Zuo Houde couldn't care about so much, and shouted: "The first to climb Youzhou Zuo Houde!" ”
It is to deter the defenders on the city at once, stretch out one hand, pick up a long Ge, shield to protect the vital point, Changge in hand, suddenly feel arrogant, quickly rushed towards the defenders in front, meet the defenders, Zuo Houde stabbed Changge in his hand, pierced a defender through the abdomen, and did not let go, Changge picked up an enemy army, continued to rush forward, not long to meet four or five defenders, Zuo Houde Changge swept, directly swept them off the city wall.
In a short period of time, Zuo Houde slaughtered all sides on the city wall, and the enemy's courage at this time was suddenly frightened by the man in front of him, and for a while he just cared about pushing and shoving, and did not dare to step forward to meet the enemy.
Zuo Houde made the city wall into a mess, not long after a lot of soldiers climbed the city gate, since Zuo Houde's generals on the city wall, and Zuo Houde opened the way for the generals, not long after the city ended the battle, Zuo Houde swept away all the defenders on the city, and directly captured the city wall.
The army behind Zuo Houde didn't expect that Zuo Houde's vanguard could really capture the city wall, but after seeing Zuo Houde on the city wall, the army also set out, wanting to break through Mobei in one fell swoop.
Originally, Zuo Houde's vanguard army conquered the city wall, and the army behind directly broke through the city gate, entered the city directly, and broke through Mobei City!
After the war, Zuo Houde was also exhausted, sitting on the city wall, not long after there were medical personnel, for Zuo Houde to heal his wounds, carefully count the feather arrows on Zuo Houde's body, pierced into the flesh of no less than ten arrows.
Fortunately, Zuo Houde was strong, otherwise he would really die here, but after the battle, Zuo Houde still lived in the military medical camp and began to recuperate.
