Chapter 376: Three Days of Shibetsu

"Bang. ”

Under the starry sky, the majestic and fierce drumbeat exploded in the wilderness.

Even the tens of thousands of troops of the Zhenbei Army, who had already been mentally prepared, were aroused by this abrupt but strong drum beat, which aroused goosebumps.

The six thousand members of the Honghuatang who went to the battlefield for the first time were even more numb in their scalps, trembling so much that they almost couldn't grasp the long knife in their hands.

The battle has not yet begun, but their hearts are already full of heads......

This is not the first time Zhang Chu has been on the battlefield.

But he was also trembling.

He felt like he was finally alive.

It's like...... Until then, he had been in a moribund state.

It wasn't until this drumbeat turned into a dose of adrenaline and injected it into his body that he really came back to life!

In the year and a half since he left the Zhenbei Army, he has done many, many things.

Construction of Taiping Town.

Strengthen the Taiping Society.

Sweeping the North Drink County ......

But when he did these things, he couldn't keep his spirits up, and he always felt that life was like a cool and white open, light and tasteless.

In fact, he always knew that his soul was lost in the north.

Lost in AllHeaven.

Lost in the five hundred miles of the southward migration road.

There are many people and many things, he never mentions, but he never forgets them in his heart......

Dust to dust.

The earth returned to the earth.

There is only hatred left, hovering between Wuding County and Beiyin County like a lonely ghost.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The rapid drum beat, without any foreshadowing, directly entered the climax.

The blood in the hearts of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Zhenbei Army is also like a volcanic eruption, surging out.

Zhang Chu drew his sword, pointed at the west, and roared: "All soldiers, follow me to break the enemy!"

"Kill......"

The 19,000 soldiers of the front army shouted and rushed with Zhang Chu to the west city gate.

The tens of thousands of Zhenbei troops who attacked at night branched off hundreds of zhang away from the south gate of Jintianfu.

Go all the way to the east and attack the east gate.

All the way to the west, attack the southern gate.

All the way to the front, attack the south gate.

The northern barbarians at the head of the city did not hold torches and look around under the city wall until the drums sounded.

Across the hundreds of feet, Zhang Chu seemed to see the bewildered expressions on their faces.

......

The catapult made a low, powerful sound.

Stones the size of a basin were sent to the city, and it was impossible to tell whether they were stone chips or flesh and blood, and they were splashed all over the sky.

One by one, the ladders were set up on the arrow stacks, and the old soldiers of the former army in full armor held their waist knives in their mouths and held a large skin shield in one hand, and climbed up with all their strength.

The northern barbarians at the head of the city did not eat dry food.

Arrows, like locust plagues in transit, flew over the heads of all the former soldiers at all times.

Rolling stones, sasswood, and gold juice are also not politely poured down.

Zhang Chu looked a little stunned.

He is not afraid of arrows, rolling stones, and sassal wood, and even if he can't split it, he can't hurt him......

Only the golden juice thing, it's not easy to block, it's not easy to dodge, although it can't hurt him, but the true attributes of that thing alone are enough to disgust him for months.

It's really feng shui in turns.

The Zhenbei army used these means to deal with the Northern Barbarians for decades.

Now all the Northern Barbarians have returned......

He spoke: "The herald is rising, and his wolf battalion can be withdrawn!"

A herald received the order and rushed forward on horseback.

Zhang Chu turned his head and shouted, "Where are Jiao Shan and Sun Jian!"

The two of them beat their horses and came out of the ranks, waved their hands and said: "The last general (subordinate) is here!"

Zhang Chu: "Have you two seen it clearly?"

Jiao Shan: "Please give the general an order!"

Sun Si'er: "Just waiting for you to speak!"

Zhang Chu bowed his head: "Pull the brothers up and try it, stabilize your position, advance step by step, don't worry." ”

The two received the order: "The last general (subordinate) receives the order!"

The two turned their horses' heads and turned back to their own formation.

"Brothers, the general has an order, siege the city!"

"Old and young masters, the helper has spoken, let us go up and fight with the Northern Barbarians, tie up the belt, tie the knife handle, don't embarrass our helper!"

Six thousand men and horses, holding shields, marched out of their formations in order, pressing towards the city gate step by step.

Zhang Chu straddled the Qingcheng horse and watched them leave.

As a former army commander, he was supposed to lead the charge.

But the order he received from the generals in front of his army was a feint.

If he, the main general, is attacked, it will be a battle to the death and a strong attack......

He's not a fledgling stunned young man.

Relying on his own ability, he will not do such a stupid thing as ignoring the overall situation.

So even if he doesn't understand Huo Hongye's orders, he will still meticulously implement Huo Hongye's orders.

Moreover, he was already keenly aware at this time that the counterattack strength of the northern barbarians on the city was declining little by little.

"Is it ......?"

Zhang Chu was still a little uncertain in his heart: "The sound of the east hitting the west?"

In siege warfare, both the offensive and defensive sides have an advantage.

The advantage of the defender lies in the high and deep pool of the city and the condescending geographical advantage.

The advantage of attacking the city is that it is flexible and mobile, and it can break the surface.

With the same number of troops, the defenders have to defend four gates, while the besieging side only needs to break through one gate.

But in this world, there are few absolutes.

A general who is good at attacking can adapt measures to local conditions and abolish the geographical advantages of the defenders.

A well-defended general can also replace defense with offense, abolishing the mobility of the besieging side.

In Zhang Chu's view, tonight's wave of night raids is leveled by the command ability of the commanders of both the offensive and defensive sides.

No matter how famous a famous general is, it is impossible to fight completely by feeling.

But now, both the offensive and defensive sides can't figure out who their opponents are and how many troops they have.

You can only rely on the opponent's offensive intensity and counterattack intensity to make a rough judgment.

But the intensity of the attack and the intensity of the counterattack can be faked.

It's like the West Gate.

Zhang Chu's seven battalions took turns attacking the city, and at most, only two battalions were participating in the battle, and if the defenders at the head of the city judged his strength according to the intensity of his attack, it would undoubtedly be a big mistake.

The night attack of the Zhenbei Army adopted the strategy of encircling three ques and one.

The south city gate, the east city gate, and the west city gate all have the Zhenbei army attacking the city.

The front army of the West City Gate is a feint, so one of the other two city gates must be a strong attack.

Now, the question before the case of the Northern Barbarian defenders is: Should we deploy troops?

If you don't deploy it, what if the gate that is being stormed is really breached?

Deployment, what if the attack strength of these two city gates is very small, the Zhenbei army is actually a feint?

And outside the North City Gate, is there really no ambush for the Zhenbei Army?

In this case, any mistake in decision-making may lead to the destruction of the city!

The eyes of the Northern Barbarian guards were black.

Huo Hongye's situation is actually not much better than that of the Northern Barbarian guards.

He can also only rely on the strength of the counterattacks of the city gates to judge the deployment of the Northern Barbarians' troops.

But the strength of the counterattack can also be faked.

The Northern Barbarian Guards could have ordered half of the soldiers to counterattack, and the other half of the soldiers to seize the time to rest and recover their strength.

Once Huo Hongye misjudged and turned from a feint attack to a strong attack but happened to kick on the iron plate, then tonight's great fighter would be wasted.

But no matter what, Huo Hongye's night attack drama tonight has greatly changed Zhang Chu's command ability.

Based on the information he has now, if there is no third party to disrupt the situation in tonight's battle, the Zhenbei Army has a great chance of breaking through Jintianfu.

After all, tonight's game, it is he, Huo Hongye, who is in charge, and he occupies the absolute initiative.

The ancients said: If you don't bid for three days, you should be impressed.

No one stood still.
