Section 157 Desperate siege of the city
The soldiers came to the city, and the people were terrified. Seeing the officers and soldiers knocking on the door from door to door, he was even more at a loss. The timid closed the door and hid in the cellar tank. The bold ones shouted and quarreled. And those who do good things take the opportunity to mix together, looking like they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and take the opportunity to show their might!
There was chaos in Ninghai Mansion. Guo Tianxu complained bitterly. Fortunately, Yu Yonghe was also in the city, and when he saw this situation, he immediately issued a proclamation! The proclamation was simple and rude, with only one line of words, but no one dared to toss it anymore.
"Anyone who refuses the government will be punished for collaborating with the enemy!"
Yu Yonghe was born in the streets and alleys, so he naturally knows better than people like Guo Tianxu who are reading, what the people are most afraid of. Money is something outside the body, not to mention that the government does not want money. If he is charged with "collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country" because of this matter, he will be convicted.
Yu Yonghe recuperated from his injuries for a few days and had already recovered his spirits. Hearing that Murong Huan was sitting in Ninghai, he knew that Yu Yu was plundered and could not be concealed after all, so he visited Murong Huan early in the morning and explained everything. After all, he had to have a convincing reason for the death of the three hundred government troops.
Murong Huan heard that his daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door had been kidnapped, which was even more atmospheric.
This could not be clearer now. Yu Yu must have been arrested by the people of Tsing Yi Fang. And Tsing Yi Fang is the "nail" arranged by Nansang in Xishan Road. In this way, Yu Yu is likely to be in the camp of the Nansang Army now!
This battle has not officially begun, and it has already lost the upper hand.
Murong Huan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, in case ...... If there is such a case, what should I do?
While they were in trouble, Liu Ziang and Qi Longchang reported that the Nansang army had sounded three drums, and it was estimated that the first wave of siege would begin.
Murong Huan stood up and shouted, "Okay! The generals will defend the city according to last night's plan, so that the Nansang army can see how powerful our Xishan Road is......"
At the end of the three o'clock, a cannon sounded, and after the Nansang army prepared again, the first wave of siege was launched from the four gates of Ninghai City at the same time, and the 100,000 troops shouted three times in unison, 'Break!', wielding swords and axes, rushing towards Ninghai City.
For a time, the shouts of killing and the sound of war drums were deafening. Outside the city wall, the flag covers the sun, and the black Nansang army is pouring in like a tide.
Murong Huan only had more than 30,000 troops, all of whom were stationed on the city wall. The 20,000 divine bow battalion of the Nansang army stopped at 200 meters from the city, stretched the bow and arrows to fill the bowstring, only to listen to an order, 20,000 arrows broke through the sunny sky, covering the sky and the sun, and roared towards the head of Ninghai City.
On the city wall, the soldiers of the Yunzhao Army held their shields and protected their bodies below, only hearing the sound of death of 'ding ding ding', which was endless, and the soldiers under the shields were only next to the root of the wall, not daring to see how many arrows hit their wooden shields.
Ten rounds of arrow rain, hundreds of thousands of arrows pierced the entire city wall. Those who were slightly careless were shot in the hands and feet, and when they threw their shields and screamed, they were shot into hedgehogs by the next round of arrows.
Just after the rain of arrows, the first echelon of Nansang carried the ladder and set up the car to the city.
Liu Ziang and the other generals saw from the daughter wall, stood up, and shouted, 'Prepare for battle'. The sergeant Yunzhao on the city wall listened to the general's order, stood up in unison, raised his spear, and poked at the hearts of the people who were climbing the wall.
Yunzhao Army smashed all the mountain rocks and soil blocks that had been prepared for a long time on the Nansang Army, and the soldiers of the Nansang Army were hit by the boulder, and their brains burst when they landed, and they planted the cloud ladder.
Yun Zhaojun poured down the boiling oil again, put down the torch and lit it, and the oil burst into flames instantly. Nansang Army, but there were those who were among them, and they immediately wailed, and in the blink of an eye, they were burned into charcoal. There was a sea of fire under the city, which burned down the ladder, and some people fell from the air wailing and falling from mid-air. The two armies were not connected to each other, and the corpses under the city had been piled up.
The two armies fought in battle, completely disregarding their lives. When someone on this side falls, someone in the rear immediately refills it. Up and down the four walls, corpses were strewn all over the city, and rivers of blood flowed.
The Nansang army stepped on the corpses, covered the fire oil with earth and stones, and re-erected the ladder. After the Yunzhao army soldiers threw the boulder, they pushed the ladder with their bare hands, and some of them had to kill the red eye, so they climbed the cloud ladder and tore and cut each other on the ladder with the Nansang army.
There were more than 100 people in the south of the north gate who climbed up to the head of the city and rushed to the Yunzhao camp with their swords. During the fight, he was stabbed in the thigh with a spear and almost died.
Fortunately, Qi Longchang came with his troops, and a spear in his hand caught up in time, picking the man's spear away and piercing the man's throat.
The two generals didn't have time to talk, glanced at each other, and each went back into the crowd.
The sun sets, dyeing the sky red.
Tens of thousands of soldiers under Ninghai City fought to kill themselves, and no one cared about this beautiful scenery, and no one had the heart to appreciate this beauty. Just a little distracted, he will be cut into two pieces by the sword, and his soul will return to his hometown!
At this time, Yan Shun and the other generals were covered in blood, and they couldn't tell whether it was the enemy or their own blood, and the blades in their hands had already cut out a gap.
Yan Shun slashed an enemy soldier on his side with a knife, and when he looked at it, he saw that the soldiers on the city wall were fighting with all their might, how could the Nansang army climb the city wall one after another, and some soldiers were besieged by several people, and in the blink of an eye, they were cut into minced meat, and they still struggled to stab the blade in their hands before they died.
Yan Shun was sad in his heart, these soldiers were all men who had been born and died with themselves, in front of them one by one, they were not afraid of strong enemies, and used this flesh and blood to protect their families and defend the country, watching them fall one by one, Yan Shunrao is a man who stood up to the sky, and his heart was sour, and he almost shed tears.
Someone here came to report that the Nansang army was on the offensive and the east gate was in an emergency. Murong Huan hurriedly transferred Yang Huang of the Central Army to lead the troops to support. Wang Quanan, the commander of the Ninghai Prefecture Army, led a thousand government troops to arrive, and bluntly said that he heard that the war was urgent, and he had come to help. Murong Huan was grateful, and he led the team to guard the northeast corner, and led his own soldiers to visit the east gate of the town.
The soldiers on the city wall saw that the old prince was on the battlefield in person, and he was supported by a new army, and he was in high spirits, and he completely destroyed the vanguard of the Nansang army who climbed the city wall.
At the same time, outside the city, the Nansang army camp.
Miao Bokang and others stood on the sentry tower to supervise the siege of the city, and saw the sunset in the western mountains and the stars about to set. Miao Bokang said to the herald beside him: "Let's stop here today." After speaking, he went down the sentry tower by himself.
The herald waved his arm, and the flag in his hand was staggered, and the drummer saw it, and immediately Mingjin withdrew his troops.
The Nansang army under Ninghai City fought for half a day, and they were also weak and tired, if they didn't want to fight for merit and profit, they were afraid that they would have already retreated. At this time, he heard the drums of the troops, and immediately packed up his equipment and withdrew to the military village.
A pillar of incense time, only thousands of corpses lie under the city, the city is boiling oil and self-burning, billowing wolf smoke, ruthless and unjust.
Yan Shun saw that the Nansang army was retreating, his hands and feet were weak, and he sat down next to the wall. Most of the troops were exhausted, and when the enemy retreated, they were either armed or lying on the walls, gasping for breath. Some people even slashed at the corpse of Nansang Army to vent their anger in their hearts......
Murong Huan visited the city gates one by one, and at this time, Yunzhao lost more than 3,000 troops, of which 652 were killed, more than 2,100 were wounded, and more than 100 were missing. I thought that I fell down the city with Sergeant Nansang in my arms, and was trampled into powder by the fire or the crowd...... The body could not be found.
The Nansang side was even more serious, with losses of 7,000 troops. Except for the nearly 2,000 people killed, most of the rest were injured by stray arrows, flames, boulders, etc.!
After the statistics were completed, Liu Ziang reported that the boulders used in the defense of the city wall were still insufficient.
Murong Huan listened and ordered Guo Tianxu to continue to collect in the city, Guo Tianxu made a mistake: "Lord Wang, the official has been ...... in the past two days."
Before Guo Tianxu finished speaking, Murong Huan shouted: "This king knows what you want to say, is it afraid of disturbing the people and provoking a civil uprising? Once the city is broken, Nansang is bound to slaughter the city, and he doesn't want to die. All large households will take ninety percent of their oil reserves, and those who do not cooperate will take it on the spot. Don't always stare at the homes of the poor, if you take them out, who will they not turn against you? If you feel that you can't pull them down, you should rest first, and I will send someone to handle this matter. ”
Guo Tianxu hurriedly said: "The prince is serious, and the official is ...... Let's do it!" After speaking, he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and exited the door.
Murong Huan sent Yu Yonghe and said, "Lord Yu, it is said that you are not an official of this department, but now that the situation is urgent, I will send you to use it." ”
When Yu Yonghe heard this, he responded: "Although the prince commands, the officials will do their best!"
Although the two of them have the name of their in-laws, they have no in-laws. Yu Yonghe wants to "ascend to the sky", and he must always admit the relationship of death in his heart, so that it will be inconvenient for Old Man Murong to regret it in the future.
Murong Huan didn't have so much thought, and Zhengse said: "I order you to lead five hundred troops, patrol the city, and take the cornerstone of all uninhabited houses and transport them all to the city." ”
Yu Yonghe was taken aback, this ...... Isn't this afraid that you will come to Ninghai to dismantle other people's foundations?
After thinking about it, this was Lord Murong's order, and he was just acting according to his orders. Anyway, this is not Dingzhou, and if someone comes to trouble the government in the future, it will not be their turn to worry. Immediately happily took on this errand.
Murong Huan also ordered all the troops to rest in turn to strictly prevent the night attack of Nansang. After the order was completed, Murong Huan ordered the generals to retreat first, leaving Sun Yike to ask for advice.
When Murong Huan made a plan, he tried to discuss it with the old man. At this time, the old man was not around, and Murong Huan suddenly felt uncomfortable. Fortunately, Sun Yike is quite strategic, so you can ask him what he thinks.
Sun Yike pondered for a moment and asked, "Old prince, the grass people have a reluctant request!"
Murong Huan said, "What do you need?"
Sun Yike said: "Grass people...... The grass people want a pot of wine to drink......"
Murong Huan was stunned, and then laughed: "You miss the old gentleman so much, every time this king asks him for advice, he always knocks this king on a table of wine and food first......"
Sun Yike's face was red: "How can the grass people be compared with the old gentleman, but there is no wine, and the grass people's brains are particularly bad ......"
