Chapter 162: It's Coming So Fast

readx;? A team needs at least more than 100 people, but when they were assigned to Han Shizhong, there were only twenty-seven people left, and they were all recruits. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now these recruits have not really been on the battlefield, and they are dying.

There is only one big cow left.

At first, I was a little scared, but after three days of training, he seemed to have the demeanor of a veteran, if he didn't have the experience of surviving on the battlefield, he could be called a veteran.

When the captain stared at a shield, he gave Han Shizhong an order, telling him to hold the gap in the southeast corner for two hours.

If the enemy breaks through this gap in two hours, come with his head up.

These people really don't know how they became colonels and captains, and seeing that there are only two people left, and they have to hold a distance of fifty meters, this is obviously embarrassing.

The lieutenant smiled, and there were more than fifty people standing up behind him.

"I know you're in trouble, so I brought someone over, and now you have nothing to say?"

Han Shizhong smiled awkwardly and threw a rice ball in his arms over, which could be regarded as repaying him for taking the risk of giving away.

The captain is not ambiguous, although he doesn't want to eat this team's glutinous rice dumplings, but it is also a piece of people's hearts.

In return, he untied a wine jug from his waist and threw it to Han Shizhong.

Han Shizhong smiled gratefully, for him, it was more refreshing to be able to drink a sip of wine now than to eat a mouthful of food.

The lieutenant turned around and threw the rice ball to the ground, Han Shizhong looked at it in his eyes and didn't say anything.

The big bull around him was quick-eyed, taking advantage of the gap between the stones on the enemy's stone thrower, he rushed over and picked up the rice balls again, and after stuffing them to Han Shizhong, he nervously held the spear in his hand to warn the enemy below.

"You don't want to die, it's just a rice ball, it's not worth taking your life. ”

Although Han Shizhong scolded badly, he didn't mean to blame, and handed over the rice balls.

Da Niu was stunned for a moment, Shangguan gave himself rice balls, this is something that has never been done before, I don't know whether to take it or not.

"Take it, take it in exchange for your life, it should be yours. ”

Da Niu trembled and took the rice balls, carefully wrapped them, and put them in his arms.

"I'm not hungry yet, I don't eat now, and if I die, remember that I still have rice balls on my body. ”

Da Niu spoke with a very stupid and innocent expression, like a child who had not grown up.

Isn't it, until yesterday, he just celebrated his sixteenth birthday.

Han Shizhong looked at the newcomers and said: "It is very common for people to die on the battlefield, don't take it too seriously, in order to have the strength to fight, if you keep thinking about death and life, you will die a miserable death." ”

These words were the words of the veteran when he first entered the barracks, and he still remembers them until now, and when he became a veteran, there was no one left with him who entered the barracks.

So before the recruits came, he had to repeat it.

It's to relieve them of pressure, and to calm them down and fight well.

"What are you talking about? We all know that we are all veterans, so we don't want to be such a mother-in-law, how to say that they are also people who roll out of the blood, and it will be boring to talk about it. ”

At this time, an old fritter who had been crawling beside him said.

As he spoke, he handed over a cardinal quiver.

When I opened it, I saw that they were all used crossbow arrows.

"Don't look at it, it's all plucked from your own people for secondary use, although it's a little blunt, and it's no problem to pierce into the bodies of those enemies who don't wear armor. ”

Han Shizhong's heart felt like a bone had been pierced, and he couldn't tell how he was feeling at the moment, so he silently took out the crossbow that was ready to be thrown out, and began to shoot downward.

With each shot, an enemy will fall off the ladder and bring down the enemy who climbs up behind him.

After repeating this, the situation on his side finally improved.

The enemy was afraid of them, so the climb was starting to become slower, and the trebuchet behind him had stopped, and if they continued to shoot like this, they would hurt their own people.

So some people got up, picked up the stones that were scattered on the wall, and threw them down.

The people below were smashed and didn't dare to approach, and finally broke the siege.

Taking advantage of the enemy's retreat, Han Shizhong took out the wine jug given by the captain, pulled out the stopper, and poured a sip of wine.

I don't know how long I haven't drunk alcohol, it's so sour.

After drinking, he passed the flask down.

The people of the Song Dynasty did not have the habit of passing the wine jug when they drank wine, which was a habit passed down by the Tang Dynasty, but at this time, no one cared about these elegances, took the wine jug, and drank it.

When the wine jug returned to Han Shizhong's hand, there was no more wine, and after shaking it to make sure it was really gone, he scolded and said that you are really fucking ignorant.

Everyone laughed, enjoying this rare relaxation.

As he was saying this, the walls trembled, which was a sign that the cavalry of the brigade was going into battle.

Fang Xiang is ruthless enough, when did they also have a brigade of cavalry?

This is different from what the intelligence says, it seems that this kid should not be underestimated, and he is an expert in secrecy and pretending.

What do the cavalry want to do at this time, the city gate has not been broken, and before the decisive battle, the cavalry will appear, and it can only become the target of the bow and arrow position on the city wall, and Fang Xiang will not really think that he is a Khitan?

There must be a reason for such a confident cavalry.

Following the direction of the cavalry, Han Shizhong finally saw that a big hole had been smashed open on the city wall at the southwest entrance, just enough to accommodate two horses and drive in.

It's worth it, if all the cavalry rushes in, they'll be finished.

But now there is no point in supporting in the past, the cavalry is very fast, and it has reached the city wall, if there is no bow and arrow position in a phalanx, it is difficult to stop such cavalry.

Fortunately, they are not as good at shooting as the Khitans, and they are not a threat to the Song army standing on the city wall.

If you change to a Khitan, even if you have a crossbow position on it, you won't be able to deal substantial damage to them.

Fortunately, the generals over there were not confused, and from the moment they heard the sound of horses' hooves, they knew that things were going to be bad, and they brought in a battalion of archers to ambush early.

Only after they were all in range did they show their fangs and rows of arrows began to fight back effectively.

The cavalry under the city did not expect that the Song army could organize an effective attack, and they lost their attention for a while.

As soon as he stopped, the cavalry behind rushed up, knocking the men in front of him off their horses and trampling them into pulp.

For a time, the horse formation was in chaos, and the enemy troops, who had not been formally trained, trampled on each other at this time, and suffered numerous casualties.

The charge was a failure, and by the time they retreated, only a few hundred of the three thousand cavalry had fled back, and all the others had been trampled to death under the walls.

The Western Army ushered in a partial victory after the siege, and it was very happy.

The generals strictly ordered them not to be arrogant, to be careful that the enemy took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and now when the enemy has not come up, they will change shifts and go down to eat.

Dinner was already ready at noon, but it was actually lunch, but I didn't have time to eat it, so I put it until the evening.

It's been three days, and I can finally eat a mouthful of hot food, Han Shizhong only left twenty people on his side to defend the city, and the others all went down to eat.

When Da Niu went down, he promised Han Shizhong to help him come back from the pile of dead people, maybe the dead ghost who was not blessed with enjoyment would die before he could drink the wine he hid.

Han Shizhong's heart was very heavy, like going to the grave, waving his hand, telling him to leave quickly, if he didn't come back, even if he became a deserter, he wouldn't blame Da Niu.

It's hell on earth, and even if you win for a while, the enemy will attack even more violently.

Han Shizhong didn't think they could survive such high pressure.

After dinner, they could not wait for the enemy's attack, and the soldiers were repairing the city defenses before the opening of the southwest wall.

The power of the great strength of the people was vividly realized at this time, and in less than half an hour, a glimpse of the intact city wall was presented in front of everyone's eyes.

If you don't look closely, you won't be able to tell that this place has ever been ruined.

Until the second half of the night, there was still no howl of the enemy's attack, and they did not dare to sleep, but kept staring at the front, for fear that the enemy would attack by surprise.

When the day was bright, looking far away, where there was still the shadow of the enemy, the scouts slowly came down the city wall, and the scouts who came back after scattering said that the enemy had retreated thirty miles for unknown reasons.

It's the same in all directions.

Now everyone has no bottom in their hearts, what is this? Are you going to fight a positional battle with them?

The Western Army is their ancestor in positional warfare, and if Fang Xiang doesn't take advantage of this opportunity to break the city in one go, he will be familiar with it.

Even though the people put up a decisive battle formation, the general who came back from Tong Guan still shook his head and sighed and said that Tong was not allowed to go out of the city, just stay in the city and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

This is a manager who has been scared out of his guts, and he is doomed to have no future.

The soldiers are waiting to take credit and shine on the lintel, and now the opportunity is in front of them, and they are not allowed to go out of the city, what kind of fight is this, Han Shizhong has never seen it.

I could only drink the remaining wine of my brothers early in the morning to relieve my boredom.

Another three full days passed, and there was still no movement, and the scout reported only one sentence, and the enemy did not move, not even a small temptation.

After another two days, when the scouts came back, there was a smile on their faces, and they drank two large bowls of water before they said: "The enemy has begun to retreat in an orderly manner, and it is in the direction of Suzhou that I don't know what the reason is." ”

As soon as Han Shizhong heard this, he knew that his stubborn defense these days had not been in vain.

There is only one reason for them to retreat, that is, Wu Shuai's soldiers and horses have already arrived in the city of Suzhou, if this old boy does not retreat to the rescue, Suzhou Nest will be served by him.

After lunch, they got another piece of exciting good news.

Thirty miles away, a cavalry appeared, led by Liu Zishan, the deputy commander of the Huaiyang Army, and the forward troops had already come into contact with the main force of Fangxiang, and it was believed that it would not be long before the siege of Huzhou would be lifted.
