Chapter 175: The City is Broken!
Sure enough, as Xun Yu expected, this time the intensity of Dong Zhuo's siege was far greater than before.
The soldiers guarding the city on the city walls have changed one after another.
The arrows that shot from the walls, the rolling logs that were thrown out, and the oil that was thrown out were innumerable.
The loss of Dong Zhuo's side was not small, and the "Dong Gonglin Chong Car" that took months to build was consumed as much as half.
Niu Fu, who had previously made the first contribution, also had to remove his own soldiers and rotate with Li Dao.
After all, the casualties are too great, and if they are not rotated, I am afraid that the soldiers under their command will mutiny.
Rushing under the city wall is just the beginning, climbing the city wall is considered a start, and standing firm on the city wall is considered a turnaround.
However, the people of Xun Yu's organization were not afraid of death, and although Dong Zhuo's side rushed to the city wall many times, they were still dared to come down.
In this back and forth, the lives of countless ordinary soldiers were lost, and the originally mottled gray and black city walls had been soaked in blood.
The floor inside the walls was a little sticky because of the blood.
Rivers of blood flowed, and the blood on the walls slowly flowed out of the water outlets under the battlements, and the entire city wall was like a blood-sucking demon.
A vampire demon who had already drunk enough blood had to spit out part of the blood he had drunk before because his stomach was so full.
The thick bloody net was disgusting, but by this time the defenders on the city walls were completely numb, mechanically listening to the orders of the chief.
It is not uncommon for some people to be carrying bodies and suddenly fall down and become part of the carriers.
After all, ordinary people can't compare with trained soldiers, let alone such high-intensity combat.
When the enemy attacked, he was nervous, eager to use up all his strength, and when the enemy was temporarily defeated, he suddenly relaxed his mind, and the whole body was a little lighter, and the more serious was the picture mentioned earlier.
"Bang la la blah." A strong man carrying a bucket of water, poured it out, briefly rinsed the stains under his feet, and rested against the wall.
A pair of eyes were full of dead ashes, and his eyes stared straight ahead, like the walking dead.
There was a brief pause on the battlefield.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
……
The sound of drums sounded again, and the vibration of the drums was like the talisman of Hades.
Huangfu Song looked at the towering city wall in the distance, and the expression on his face did not change.
There is no immortal in war.
Either you die or I live.
What's more, it is still in an advantageous position now, there is a way that mercy is not in charge of soldiers, righteousness is not in charge of wealth, and Huangfu Song has done a very good job in this regard.
Not only to win, but also to kill and injure the opponent's living forces, only in this way can the battle be easy to fight, this is the strategy that Huangfu Song has always implemented.
No matter to whom.
How similar is the battle with the Yellow Turban Thief in the Long Society back then?
As a result, the Yellow Turban Thieves resisted stubbornly, tens of thousands of people were killed, and he was named the Marquis of the Duxiang.
In addition, in the battle of Cangting, he defeated the Yellow Turban Bu Jibu, captured Bu Ji, and killed more than 7,000 people.
In the first battle of Guangzong, Zhang Liang was killed in battle, more than 30,000 people were killed, and more than 50,000 people died by throwing themselves into the river.
He ordered the burning of more than 30,000 Yellow Turban thieves' baggage trucks, and Zhang Jiao was "dissected and poked at the corpse and passed on to the head of the Beijing Division".
In the first battle of Quyang, he killed Zhang Jiao's brother Zhang Bao and captured more than 100,000 people.
The bones of 100,000 people were built into the "Jingguan".
The imperial court appointed himself as the general of the left chariot and led the pastor of Jizhou.
Huangfu Song couldn't help but think of a poem circulating in Chang'an City.
"Boys, be violent!"
"Things and benevolence do not stand together."
"Men should kill, and kill mercilessly."
"Immortal karma for thousands of years, all in killing!"
It is said that this poem was written by Dong Xiangguo, and Huangfu Song's eyes showed a fine light, "Men should kill, kill mercilessly, immortal karma, all in killing!" ”
This poem should be a big white one!
"General Guo!"
Huangfu Song suddenly raised his voice and shouted.
Guo Yan, who was at the head of the city, immediately got up and said, "General! The end will be! ”
"General Guo! The next siege will be up to your lord, if you can't attack the city this time, you don't have to come back! The murderous aura revealed in Huangfu Song's calm words made Guo Yan's back cold.
However, Guo Yan is also a person who has experienced a hundred battles, so he was naturally not frightened by such a scene.
"The last general commands!"
Guo Yan stood up and shouted, "The last general is willing to make a military order, if the siege is not taken, the last general will come to see him!" ”
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Good!"
Huangfu Song laughed, said three "good" words in a row, and then only heard him say to Guo Yan: "Zhuangxing wine, dare to drink?!" ”
Guo Yan's mouth cracked, and he raised his voice: "Why don't you dare!" "The last general, please give the general wine!"
"Good!"
"Baggage officer, send three hundred jars of fine wine to General Guo's military camp." Huangfu Song instructed the adjutant beside him.
"Whoa." The adjutant responded.
Guo Yan, who was at the head of the bottom, also saluted and said: "Thank you for the wine, the last general will go to rectify the soldiers and horses!" ”
Huangfu Song nodded, and Guo Yan turned around and walked out of the account.
Generally speaking, the two armies are not allowed to drink alcohol during the war, but it does not mean that there is no alcohol in the army, and alcohol cannot be drunk during the war, but after the battle, especially after the victory, the wine is indispensable.
As it is today, it is not uncommon for the emperor to give wine before the war, but it is rare.
Wine is intimidating.
Zhuangxing wine.
After drinking the wine, it is a game where you will not give up until you reach your goal, and you will not die or return.
"It's almost, the city with such a large number of casualties is almost impossible to hold." Huangfu Song secretly analyzed in his heart, "With his experience and feelings, if the siege is intensified, the city will definitely be broken tonight!" ”
"General Niu, General Li." Huangfu Song called to Niu Fu and Guo Yan at the head of the head.
"The last general!"
"The last general!" The two responded in unison and waited for Huangfu Song's arrangement.
Huangfu Song took out two arrows and said in a deep voice: "General Li can bring his headquarters as a reserve to assist General Guo in attacking the city." "As for how to arrange it, you two can discuss it yourself."
"Whoa!" Li Dao answered, took the arrow sent by Huangfu Song, and stood aside.
"As for General Niu, you can take your headquarters to travel outside the city to support, mainly guarding the north gate, south gate, and west gate."
Huangfu Song handed over another arrow to Niu Fu.
"Wow. The end will not live up to the mission. ”
Niu Fu also responded, obviously knowing what was going on at this time about Huangfu Song's arrangement of guarding against the west, north, and south gates, and letting go of the east gate.
Huangfu Song's arrangement was the tactic of "besieging three and one" used in most sieges.
Surround three gates first, and let go of one, which can greatly reduce the resistance of the defenders, and people will only fight back when there is no way back.
When you know that there is a way back, no one will really want to fight to the death.
Although it may just be a drink to quench your thirst, there are still people who are willing to drink this highly poisonous wine.
*
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The drums of war beat non-stop, day and night.
Finally.
Just as the light of day was about to shine again, the herald sent good news to Huangfu Song.
The city is broken!
