I am king in troubled times Chapter 4 The offensive and defensive battle of the pass

When Chu Bi arrived at the pass, the defenders of Dongshan had already reorganized their armies for battle on the second day, and Wang Xuan met him in the combat command room.

When Chu Bi brought up the matter of the alliance again, Wang Xuan waved his hand and said: "This matter is not urgent, the battle of Jichi is imminent, and it is not too late to talk about it when the red flame is completely repulsed. ”

Chu Bi can still be retracted and released freely when facing Zhao Sheng, but when facing Wang Xuan, he is offensive and defensive, and Wang Xuan's decision does not allow him to disobey in the slightest.

In this case, the foreign minister bothered. Chu Bi said that he followed Wang Xuan to inspect the north city wall.

As the sun rose, the sun became hotter and hotter, and the empty boundary of the north gate was steaming, blocking part of the view. A beacon fire was lit on a half-high hill on the east side, and the blue smoke drifted northwest with the wind, and after a while, a well-armored team appeared at the mountain pass, and after the whole team was finished, it marched towards the Dongshan Pass.

When the soldiers defending the city saw the beacon fire, they rang the gong to prepare for battle, and the armies took their positions according to the process of countless drills, waiting for the arrival of the Red Flames.

Wang Xuan, Zhang Peiyu, Yu Bo, Chu Bi and others watched the Chiyan people slowly coming through the narrow glass windows in the war room, and everyone knew that the tragic offensive and defensive battle of the pass was about to begin.

Wang Xuan didn't know him, but he saw a black armor covered with a red cloak, and he was fighting a hundred steps away. However, the mascot didn't pay attention to this, and let the other party shout and curse happily under the scorching sun.

Taking this opportunity, the mascot has touched the reality of the other party, five rows of two thousand sword and shield men in the front, followed by ten rows of 1,000 siege auxiliaries carrying bamboo ladders, and 800 suppression archers in the back, and the entire forward force is 4,500 people.

The Red Flame people originally planned to launch a surprise attack after a three-day rapid march, and take the pass in one fell swoop, reproducing the feat of the soldiers coming to the auspicious city, but how do you know that the Dongshan Pass was actually built so strong and majestic, and the damage to the rash siege must be huge, so the enemy general had to call for war outside but did not attack the city, in order to be able to deceive the defenders and fight down.

The auspicious defenders had already received orders and were familiar with their own tactics and tactics, so they only hid behind the fortifications and looked at the anxious enemy soldiers who were roasted by the scorching sun and laughed secretly.

The enemy general may feel that such a retreat would be detrimental to the army's prestige, so after the sound of the three-way drum, he began to tentatively attack the city.

Due to geographical reasons, only one side can be attacked, so the difficulty of defending the city is greatly reduced, even if the enemy has thousands of troops, the front can only put a hundred people to attack the city each time.

When the enemy sword and shield man marched within the range of the bow and arrow, he raised the iron shield in his hand, and the rectangular shields joined each other to form a large piece of shield armor, enclosing the siege auxiliaries and equipment. Step by step, they narrowed the distance between them and the city walls, but the mascot at the head of the city remained silent.

Seeing that there were only ten or so steps left, the drum beat suddenly became urgent, Dun Jia no longer cared about the integrity of the defense, and accelerated to the city, the engineering team set up the bamboo ladder, and the sword and shield hands began to climb along the ladder to the head of the city. At this time, the mascot at the head of the city was still silent, and the Red Flame people only thought that the other party was frightened by the last experience, and this time it was like a frightened bird, and it was unable to form an effective counterattack, so everyone suddenly became like a rainbow, and everyone scrambled to be the first.

The length of the ladder was two feet away from the head of the city, which was deliberately done to prevent the mascot from overturning the ladder. At this time, every ladder was crawled with blazing swords and shields, and people were crowding and driving people, all thinking of being the first to attack the pass and obtain the endless wealth of the mascot.

When the first sword and shield hand showed a hideous face and roared with his mouth open, a long bamboo spear on the stand stabbed at him, and the polished steel spear head instantly pierced the center of his eyebrows, and the spear man suddenly withdrew his hands back, and the spear head was pulled out, and the hideous face of the sword and shield hand was as disgusting as before the three breaths. Then the body fell on its back, and smashed the people on the ladder with it.

The enemy general retreated when he was frustrated with the intention of probing, who had thought that the sword and shield man had attacked the city before the other party reacted, and his eyes suddenly lit up with a light of hope, and the falling soldiers did not cause him to be uneasy, how could there be immortals in the siege.

As time passed, the number of soldiers falling from the city continued to decrease, and every time they attacked the city, they always fell short, and within two rounds they fell from their heads as before. The enemy generals began to feel uneasy, and the auspicious defenders visible to the naked eye at the head of the city were scarce, and most of them hid in the fortifications surrounded on three sides, and they could not be hurt by leisure. However, since it is true that the sword and shield men who climbed the city were constantly stabbed and shot down by spear-like weapons, there was only one possibility, and the defenders used a new long-handled weapon to wait for their work in the fortifications and kill the Red Flame soldiers who climbed up to the top of the city.

It's a trap!

The enemy general suddenly realized the uneasiness in his heart, and the mascot was using the fortifications to continuously weaken the strength of the Red Flame and at the same time strike at the momentum of the Red Flame. The half-step distance from the head of the city to the city has become a moat, and the victory at your fingertips is like a fragrant poison, attracting the Red Flame people to come up one after another to die.

Beads of sweat slipped down the forehead of the enemy general, dripping onto the roasted hot iron armor, and disappeared in an instant.

"Beat the drums, retreat!" The enemy general who couldn't stand it still gave the order to retreat, at this time he frowned, and there was an ominous premonition sprouting in his heart, the mascot of this battle was obviously prepared, so could the previous plan still go smoothly?

As the drums sounded, the enemy began to retreat, and the surviving sword and shield men raised their armor as they did during the attack, protecting the siege auxiliaries and equipment to retreat.

Wang Xuan looked at the retreating Red Flame people in an orderly manner and stopped Zhang Peiyu's pursuit request, he was unwilling to take risks, even if the pursuit battle loss ratio was more than one to ten, Jixiang could not afford it.

The Red Flames left corpses all over the ground after they withdrew, and the few wounded soldiers were captured by the Madovan and taken to a field hospital, where dozens of doctors were waiting to "heal" them.

"This one broke his ribs and left leg and was carried to the No. 3 operating table; this one was pierced in the stomach and was carried to the No. 1 bed for laparotomy to practice his hands; the other two were shot in the chest and carried to the No. 2 bed, if they all survived, I ask the Lord to pardon them!" Doctor Liu examined the injuries one by one and instructed a group of people to carry the wounded to each bed according to the category to wait for surgery.

"Lao Liu, this guy's intestines have been punctured, send someone to sew it. The leader of the second team in charge of the operation shouted.

"Wait a while, the utensils are steaming at high temperatures, let the fourth child wash the wound with alcohol, and half a stick of incense. The doctor who called Lao Liu replied.

"Doctor Liu, the corpse transport team left us three, you see?" asked the captain of the fifth team, who was in charge of teaching.

"Don't worry, wait for the second team to finish the operation after the third team, and the fourth team needs to be nursed in the second half of the night, and your fifth team will start anatomy teaching tomorrow morning." Doctor Liu said.

The corpses under the city wall were piled up in a layer, and the Red Flame people lost at least three hundred people in the half-hour offensive and defensive battle, and nearly a hundred wounded people were taken away, and the chances of these people surviving were very small, and there were no means to deal with the virus in these years, especially the hot weather in August, which made it more difficult to treat by more than one level.

Chu Bi was still stunned at this time, he witnessed the entire pass attack and defense battle, the best expectation is that Jixiang successfully defended the city with a battle loss of 1 to 2 or even 1 to 5, who would have thought that the mascot of the medium-intensity offensive and defensive battle for half an hour was unscathed, and only a few soldiers with a little less luck were injured by arrows.

The northern wall was designed to capture light, with several open areas on the outer roof of the upper part of the wall, from which arrows from the enemy hit the head of the city, causing minor injuries to the three defending sergeants.

Chu Bi didn't see the auspicious combat power in this battle, but the ingenious design of Guan Pass and the targeted use of the wolf whisk opened his eyes and drew the inference that the mascot is 'good at fake things'.

After Wang Xuan stopped Zhang Peiyu's pursuit, the enemy calmly retreated to the shade of a tree thousands of kilometers to the north to rectify. The auspicious defenders began to clean up the corpses under the city, otherwise they would stink in a day or two, and they would be infected with the plague in two days.

The Red Flame people only quietly watched the mascot clean up the corpses of their robes, and did not have an overreaction, and a wooden pile was erected at the foot of the northern city wall, and the corpses were burned on top of each other. The whole process lasted all night, and it was not until the 10th of August that it was burned out, and the mascot took the clay pot and divided the ashes one by one and returned them to the Red Flame Man.

Everyone in the war room was holding a summary meeting of yesterday's offensive and defensive battles, and in general, the auspicious people occupied the time, place, and people, even if the Red Flame people collected enough stones to throw the siege city, it would be useless. Small stones could not damage the reinforced concrete defense above the city's head, and large stones could hardly be thrown to a distance of 100 paces. Once approaching the stone, not to mention whether it can break the defense, its own survival is a big problem, without using grenades and explosives, Wang Xuan has at least three ways to crack the opponent's stone-throwing siege.

The Red Flames' first tentative attack ended hastily, and the next battle would be a tough one.

Wang Xuan constantly analyzed the current situation for the sergeants to prevent the growth of arrogance. At the same time, we will also step up efforts to improve the operation system in all aspects, so that we do not panic in case of distress, do not rush in case of chaos, advance and retreat in a proper way, and attack and defend in a reasonable manner.
