Chapter 63: Short-term Encounter
"The general must not blame himself, this time is different from the past, if most of the army arrives on time that day, we can drag the enemy army to surrender without a fight, so the general is not to blame for all this" Looking at Bai Qi, who was particularly self-blaming, Bai Zheng on the side hurriedly comforted, after all, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and it is not easy for Bai Qi, who led the army for the first time, to do this.
"Yes, the plan will never catch up with the changes, and the enemy army is about to come up, tell the brothers to prepare for rolling wood and rocks, and try not to have too many casualties in the first wave of the enemy's attack," Bai Qi ordered.
Looking at Bai Zheng, who went to convey his order, Bai Qi also silently lifted a falling rock.
When they were close to the barracks, the 3,700 wolf-tooth arrows suddenly released by the soldiers on the battalion tore the attacking Yellow Turban team in half, and the team of 5,000 people was already chaotic and dense, coupled with the fact that they had no experience in war and were completely defenseless, nearly half of them were killed and wounded in an instant.
For a while, the troops of the Yellow Turban Army were in chaos, and the army of more than 1,000 people who had been spared by Bai Qi to let go of the defense line continued to advance towards the barracks, and the rear army of the Yellow Turban Army looked at the countless companions who were engulfed by the rain of arrows in front of them, and they were all frightened, and they all dropped their weapons and began to run back.
As for the white side of the camp, it can be said that it is very easy, only more than 1,000 Yellow Turban soldiers who have no experience in siege can not put any pressure on the Han soldiers guarding the camp, and not a single Yellow Turban soldier has climbed the camp wall of the Han army in this attack.
Even before the ladder was erected, most of them were stoned to death by the Han army using rolling logs and falling stones, and the Yellow Turban soldiers had no follow-up troops, so in just a quarter of an hour, all the Yellow Turban soldiers who rushed to the camp wall fled.
The Yellow Turban General who led the army of "General Digong" looked at the troops that had already collapsed before they had caused the slightest damage to the Han army, and they were obviously a little breathless.
However, Zhang Bao's state was completely different from him, at this time Zhang Baozheng's eyes were slightly open, and his face did not change to look at the troops who came back from the rout, "It's okay, the quality of our army's individual soldiers is not as good as the Han army, but the number occupies an absolute advantage, and I ordered to send two, three, or four teams to attack the Han army camp without interruption."
With the issuance of Zhang Bao's order, the three teams of 5,000 people at the front of the Yellow Turban troops immediately took action, and the three teams formed into a team, lined up in a long way, and rushed towards the white barracks.
Looking at the team that was three times more than the first time, Bai Zheng, who participated in the battle for the first time, was not carried away by the first victory, but looked at Bai Qi with a little worry.
"The whole army listens to the order, this defense must shoot with all its might, and be sure to shoot the arrows in the quiver in the shortest possible time, giving the enemy the biggest blow, Bai Zheng, you are watching here, I will go back" After speaking, Bai Qi walked quickly down the camp wall.
After hearing this shout, both the third team and the second team, which was preparing to go at the gate of the barracks, and the second team, which was recuperating in the barracks, gathered in front of the shouters as quickly as possible.
Looking at the thousand soldiers lined up neatly in front of him, Bai Qi said his order: "The whole army listens to the order, and those who have parents at home should go out of the ranks; Those who have wives and children in the family shall be listed; The only child in the family is listed; If the family has a wife and children but has no heirs, they will be listed: if both father and son are in the army, the son will be listed; those whose brothers are in the army; Brother out of the ranks"
As soon as Bai Qi's general order came out, a thousand soldiers began to act, and all those who were Bai Qi started to get out of the queue consciously, although many soldiers did not understand the purpose of Bai Qi's order, but in the army, the military order was greater than the sky, and the soldiers just obeyed it.
After a while, two groups of people were divided into the open space of the barracks, Bai Qi took a deep look, nearly fifty soldiers who stood in place and did not move, after a pause, Bai Qi seemed to have made a major decision, and his throat rolled a few times and said something that made him difficult to speak.
"Those who are out of the queue are on standby, those who are not out of the ranks, those who are not out of the ranks" said Bai Qi's throat here, as if he was stuck by something, and he could no longer say the following words, but at this time, the sound of Bai Zheng shouting and releasing arrows on the camp wall came clearly, Bai Qi knew that time did not wait for anyone, and he had no time to hesitate, so he closed his eyes and said with a painful face.
"Those who have not come out of the ranks, prepare ropes immediately, and follow me to the city wall" After saying the order, Bai Qi shook his head and sighed lightly.
On the camp wall at this time, Bai Qi had just walked down the city wall, and Bai Zheng, who took his place, was excited for a while, and his panicked mood made him a little hurried, but the enemy army was pressing forward step by step, and it would give him time to adjust his state, and pinched his thigh hard, and the clear pain made his brain calm down a little.
After calming down, Bai Zheng acted as the commander, looking at the Yellow Turban Army approaching the barracks step by step, Bai Zheng imitated Bai Qi's strategy, he ordered all the soldiers to wind their bows and arrows, and waited for the best time to shoot, and soon the vanguard of the Yellow Turban Army had entered the firing range.
Bai Zheng did not give the order to shoot, and when nearly 2,000 people were spared, Bai Zheng ordered to shoot with all his strength, and in an instant, 700 people released arrows at the same time, and an arrow net flew towards the Yellow Turban Army, but before the arrow net could contact the Yellow Turban Army, the second arrow net had already flown towards the Yellow Turban Army with the Han army's release.
Although it had some precautions, the Yellow Turban Army, which had neither formal training nor standard equipment, was melted into a vacuum area by several impermeable arrow nets, and after five rounds of arrow rain, although there were more than 2,000 casualties, the attack on the Yellow Turban Army did not show signs of rout.
"Stop" saw that the enemy army had been divided into two sections, and Bai Zheng ordered to stop firing.
"Send out 300 men to give them all the arrows, wait for the enemy's follow-up troops to enter the firing range, give a key blow, and the rest of the people will follow me to meet the enemy"
After another five rounds of salvos, there were only two bows and arrows left in each soldier's quiver, which was obviously unable to form a large-scale salvo, Bai Zheng simply gathered 1,400 arrows, and these 300 soldiers killed the Yellow Turban soldiers accurately, and he led the remaining soldiers to deal with the Yellow Turban Army that had rushed to the camp wall.
The Han army on the wall hurriedly used rolling wood to drop rocks to smash the Yellow Turban soldiers who wanted to climb up the camp wall along the ladder, or used a long stick to push the ladder down the camp wall, anyway, the soldiers on the wall did everything to defend the barracks.
In fact, as a weapon to defend the city, the gold juice and fire oil have a very obvious effect on these Yellow Turban soldiers who have no siege means, but the white army came and went in a hurry, and there was no time to prepare for these.
Bai Zheng desperately led the army to defend, but he couldn't match the advantage of the opponent's large numbers, and finally the first Yellow Turban soldier boarded the camp wall, but before he could do anything, he was cut by Bai Zheng with a knife, and he kicked off the city wall, but there was the first and second, and with the Yellow Turban soldiers one after another, there were constantly Yellow Turban soldiers on the city wall.
Bai Zheng shouted after knocking down a Yellow Turban soldier, "Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy and defend the barracks"
At this time, Bai Zheng can be said to have completely risked his life, Bai Qi has the grace of knowing him, and now he hands over the military camp to him to defend, if it is lost, then he really has no face to see Bai Qi, and the soldiers on the defense shouted in unison after hearing Bai Zheng's words of encouragement, and for a while, the Han soldiers on the camp wall were full of momentum and momentum, and they looked like they were going to press down the Yellow Turban soldiers who rushed up.
If this person is single-minded, it is inevitable that he will lose concentration, Bai Zheng is already on the front line of the short encounter with the Yellow Turban Army, while boosting morale and distraction, a Yellow Turban Army who has just climbed the camp wall raised the shovel in the book, and slapped it straight at Bai Zheng's head, if this blow is hit, Bai Zheng can be said to be either dead or injured, but Bai Zheng is obviously too late to react at this time.
"Be careful"
