Volume 3 Nine Scepters, Taiping Road Chapter 105 Don't talk nonsense, which direction is the north?
On the seventh day of the siege, it was the turn of the first army of Beifu to attack the city, the second army of Beifu patrolled, the third army of Beifu was on alert, the fourth army of Beifu assisted in defense, the fifth army of Beifu was on standby, and the sixth army of Beifu rested; When the First Army of Beifu was preparing to leave the camp, the monks on guard outside came with a signal and found a green forest cavalry, and the whole army immediately stopped leaving the camp and waited for news from the patrolling Second Army of Beifu.
The key defense of Weilie Beifu is the west, which is the direction of the north gate of Liucheng, the north gate is not blocked, and the Green Forest Army can bypass from that direction and attack the Weilie Beifu and Fengyi army who feint to attack the south gate and the west gate. Therefore, the patrol direction of the Beifu Army extended farther, so that the Green Forest Army had no opportunity to take advantage of, but it seemed that Frustrated Qiuwu had gone a little far this time, and a battle broke out with the Green Forest Army.
The four armies of Beifu who assisted in the defense immediately set out from Xiyingkou to reinforce the second army, and the first army still went out of the camp to carry out a feint attack when it found that the enemy was still far away, and the battle was the same as before, the siege equipment started, and Qi Taibao's yellow turban archers shot to increase their archery experience, and then approached the city wall with a ladder, and the enemy would throw things down.
The outer city wall was already full of debris, stones, rolling wood, and the like were consumables, and when the yellow turban was withdrawn, these wood would be burned by fire, and the stones would be burned and softened, so that the defenders would not be recovered; Therefore, the means that the city can defend now is to boil water, but boiling water also needs firewood to burn, in order to maintain the heat of the water, firewood must be constantly added, which requires more firewood.
Firewood is actually inexhaustible, the whole city is mostly wooden buildings, there is really no firewood to burn, demolition of houses, windows and door panels, more is firewood, therefore, after rolling stones, wood and other props to defend the city gradually disappeared, boiling water has become the main means of defending the city, supplemented by the attack of archers.
The Beifu army is a player, and the head is very flexible, so he went to Beidai City to buy a large number of umbrellas, and later found that the umbrellas would be pierced by arrows, and asked the craftsman to add iron pieces to it, which is a little heavier, but the soldiers have skills, and this weight can still be bearable; The iron umbrellas connected together have eliminated a lot of boiling water, and although there are some burns, it is much better than being fully exposed to boiling water.
Compared with a few days ago, carrying the ladder to the bottom of the city, and then carrying it back, today it was a successful hook of the ladder, the soldiers climbed the ladder and fought for a round, and then retreated, the casualties were heavier than a few days ago, but it greatly boosted morale.
Befuzi squinted his eyes and looked at the city thousands of kilometers away, and said to Qi Taibao who had withdrawn: "It seems that the offensive at the east gate is very fierce, forcing the enemy to transfer the troops of the west gate, so that there is a hole in the defense, in order to increase the west gate and the south gate, and send cavalry to attack our two mansions, but unfortunately there is no effect." ”
"After a few days of fighting, nearly a thousand soldiers died." The former battalion owner Gray Rail twisted his neck and said.
"More than 50,000 soldiers in the whole government died more than 1,000 people, what is the number." Befuzi said lightly.
Mo saw that the siege was very little ink, but from leaving the camp to approaching the city wall, to climbing the ladder to attack, and then to retreating, it was carried out for most of the hour, and the second and fourth armies still did not come back, which made the rest of the armies feel strange, and hurriedly asked the cooperative monks to go and investigate; Without waiting for the cooperative monks to be ordered to leave the camp, more than a dozen monks came from the west, shouting: "The Second Army and the Fourth Army of Beifu will fight at the North Gate." ”
"I'm grooved." When Qi Taibao heard this, he scolded loudly.
This kid is an extremely awkward character, he thinks about a lot of things all day long, and he wants to become a marshal, and he wants to promote his second army to the first army, in short, he is a person with a lot of ideas, and I don't know what opportunity he sees today, and he will actually go to attack the north gate.
"That's a trap." Qi Taibao said with certainty.
Befuzi looked at Qi Taibao with wide eyes, Qi Taibao snorted coldly and said, "The enemy cavalry came to attack, and after a while, they slapped their horses and left, and the second army chased after them, trough, and the cavalry wanted to flee in a blink of an eye, and they could still let Ya catch up?" It was clear that it was the enemy who led him to the north gate, and then, when he saw that the north gate defense was empty, he wanted to seize the gate and break the city. ”
"The analysis is so reasonable, but he is not a rookie, can he not see it?" Befuzi retorted.
"Rub, when a person arrives on the battlefield and kills sexually, his mind is shaken, how can he think so much when he sees an opportunity." Qi Taibao shouted.
"That's you." Befuzi teased with a smile.
Qi Taibao glared at the dead hair, and said hatefully: "My military order is to let him patrol, repel the enemy or be repelled by the enemy, it is his military order duty, he is now attacking the north gate without authorization, it is a violation of the military order, Ma Dan, I don't know whether to report it or not." ”
"It's too hurtful to report it, so let's keep it down." Befuzi suggested.
"Mao, look at his attitude."
Because the second army and the fourth army are going to the north gate, for fear of accidents, Qi Taibao led the first army to rush to reinforcements, and halfway, saw the banner of the fourth army, the troops are neat, Qi Taibao breathed a sigh of relief, walked closer, only to find that the fourth army was deployed in the same place, after sending someone to ask, the fourth army commander Sui Fengchai personally rushed over.
As soon as he saw Qi Taibao, he scolded and scolded Frustration and Enlightenment, "Damn, my Fourth Army is here to assist in defense, and this product actually asked me to respond to his attack, for fear of accidents, I responded down, but I didn't expect this cargo to turn around and turn around, and threw me to the enemy cavalry who came to attack and harass, I am all infantry!" Fortunately, the enemy cavalry turned around when they saw the frustration and enlightenment, abandoned our army, and turned to chase the frustration and enlightenment. ”
Qi Taibao was confused when he heard this, waved his hand and said: "Let me sort it out, when my first army was about to go out of the camp to attack the city, I received an enemy attack alarm, and the second army engaged the enemy, and your fourth army went to respond, right?" ”
"Yes."
"Then you go on with this place."
"I led the army to the place, Frustrated Qiuwu has already laid a defensive line, rejecting horses, sharp wood, etc., surrounded by horses, sharp woods, etc., the enemy cavalry will suffer heavy casualties even if it charges, and the enemy cavalry is ready to retreat after seeing our army coming, after all, the enemy army only has a battalion of nearly 1,000 cavalry, and it has been gnawed when it meets the second army, not to mention our fourth army."
"Unexpectedly, just when the enemy cavalry was about to withdraw, a battalion in front of the frustrated Qiuwu actually moved away from the barrier, and then the whole army advanced, Ni Mei! It is true that our Fourth Army is rushing to reinforce it, but there is still some distance to go; The commander of the enemy cavalry was a veteran, and knowing that our fourth army could not be reinforced for a while, he immediately made a charge, but the second army was not routed, but entangled the enemy cavalry. ”
"When the second army and the enemy cavalry were torn apart, our fourth army arrived, and the second army made a gap and let our fourth army rush in, and after our fourth army engaged the enemy, the second army suddenly withdrew."
"Wait, the second army is engaged in a battle with the enemy cavalry, how can it be withdrawn? Don't you look for death? ”
"It was not withdrawn at once, but slowly guided our Fourth Army to fill the front line of his Second Army, and when I found out that something was wrong, the Second Army had actually broken away from the battle and turned into our Fourth Army surrounding the enemy, and then, after the enemy also discovered the movement of the Second Army, he stormed a point, Nima, our Fourth Army was not prepared to encircle at all, and it was rushed out of a gap all of a sudden, and then, the enemy chased the Second Army."
"Groove, then you don't reinforce, what defense is here?" Qi Taibao shouted.
Sui Feng touched his face and explained: "Although I was frustrated and Wu cheated me, but at this time it is a battle, I naturally won't care about it, and I have to wait until after the war to calculate the account, so I am ready to lead the army to reinforce, but I found that it was wrong!" ”
"What's wrong with it?" Qi Taibao scolded with tears and laughter.
"Frustrated and enlightened, I went north."
"That's right, I received information that Ya is going to attack the North Gate."
"No, boss, although the north gate is north, but in our position, it is not north, and Nanyima is the east, and the frustration and enlightenment are going north." Sui Fengchai also said with tears and laughter, pointing in one direction as he spoke.
Qi Taibao looked in the direction pointed by Sui Fengchai, there was an open space, that is, there were no woods, hillsides, no cities and villages, there was faint dust, but he couldn't see it very clearly, he was very puzzled, and asked: "Frustrated and begging for you, why should he go to the wilderness, is he going to defect or do something?" ”
"I don't know." Sui Fengchai replied with the same entanglement.
After Qi Taibao thought about it, he ordered the barbarians, wrestlers, and yellow turban archers to return to the main camp with the troops, and then said to Befuzi: "I will lead a hundred Tananu cavalry to see, and you will lead the army back", turned his head and said to Sui Fengchai: "You also go back first, this matter will be suppressed for the time being, and after you find out and figure it out, you will settle accounts with him." ”
After Sui Fengchai and Befuzi led the army to leave, Qi Taibao rode on the black tyrant, this cargo has tiger hair on its back, and the dead unicorn of the earthwork chief has dragon scales on its back, and he almost didn't cut the egg when he sat on it, and he had to get a saddle in the future.
It stands to reason that the second army of frustration and enlightenment is all infantry, and no matter how fast it is, it can't be as fast as Qi Taibao, who has increased the speed of the whole process, but things are so weird, Qi Taibao rode Hei Batian with a hundred cavalry, and chased for almost an hour at the speed of the whole process, but he didn't see the second army, "Chasing in the wrong direction?" Qi Taibao muttered with some confusion.
It's just that when I chased it before, it was surrounded by wilderness, and even if I chased in the wrong direction, I could see some signs at a glance, but I didn't find any signs, which was really strange.
"I'll go, I'm lost." When he was about to return to the camp, Qi Taibao found that he had lost his way, he had exploration books, if he had a map, he could find the direction, the problem was that this was the "North Belt City" area, this realm was just captured by the Fengyi army, not as good as Baitan City, when attacking this city, it was still the headquarters of the General's Mansion at that time, and it was carefully prepared.
Baitancheng is to be the capital, therefore, a large number of rigorous reconnaissance has been carried out in the entire area, and the map is also very complete and accurate, but when attacking Pinggang City, Huipu City and Beidai City, the Great General Division will let it go, and what preparations have been made by the three prefectures of Zhichong, Yokono, and Fengyi, there is naturally no need to report to the Weilie Beifu of the same status.
And the map of the whole territory of the Northern Belt City, unless it is asked for by Qi Taibao in person, the Fengyi Mansion will give it, and if you don't ask for it, the Fengyi Mansion that captured the Northern Belt City will naturally not send the map with a cold face.
