Chapter 207: Pujin
In the sixth year of Guanghe, on June 11, the west wall of the three bases of Puyangjin.
Leading the army to attack this wall is Ding Sheng and Wang Zhang, both are the old Taishan army, are good warriors, is Guan Yu after the general mobilization, the two have invaded like fire to attack the west wall.
With Ding Sheng and Wang Zhang's current status, they don't have to rush to the front line, but they think that Zhang Chong's military system does not allow them to do this, and if they are the main generals, their troops will be miserable.
So now on the front line are Wang Zhang's general Guo Mo and Ding Sheng's general Jinquan. Both are famous brave generals of the Taishan Army, especially Guo Mo, who is as fierce as a tiger.
He was Tian She'er in Yanzhou, and when he was with the Shou Zhang soldiers to help Hu's mother's family, he was captured by Zhang Chong in a battle, so he joined the Taishan Army for more than two years. But don't look at the short time, his people are already famous.
From Wang Zhang, he broke the Jin wall and beheaded fifteen levels. From the broken mountain, ascend first. From breaking the long spoon, cut eight levels, and capture twenty people. Later, in the first battle of Bo County, one general was beheaded, the first 20 levels were obtained, and 36 people were captured. The iron spear in his hand had long since been soaked in too much blood.
At this time, Guo Mo took his own soldiers, all wearing double armor, and stood in front of the battle first. Then he waved his hand, and a group of Taishan soldiers who were only wearing single clothes and bare feet rushed up with a cart.
Although the Han Qi in front of Guo Mo did not lead the river water around it, it had dug deep trenches and could not jump over at all. And if you climb up from the trench, you will become a target for the shooters on the enemy's wall.
But the Taishan army has a way, and until now, the Taishan army has not fought any battles, and has long developed a new way of attacking the barricades in response to the Han soldiers' ability to dig deep trenches.
I saw that when these single-clothed Taishan troops charged, they got directly behind a truck. The cart was specially modified by the artisan battalion, and the current side is all wooden planks and covered with cowhide for fire protection. They pushed the cart to the front of the deep trench, then stopped moving, fixed the cart, and carried the loaded soil bags from the cart, and began to fill the deep trench.
There was a clanging sound from the cart in front of them, which was the Han soldier shooter who was missing. At first, the Taishan army was still worried, but when they saw that the Han soldiers couldn't help them at all, they filled in the trenches faster.
And here, the Taishan soldiers threw the dirt bags on the cart and then pulled the cart back quickly. The archers on the enemy wall could not help these people at all.
As soon as the Taishan soldiers rushed back to the battle, they saw the dust in front of the formation, which was the dust raised by the Taishan soldiers who stayed in the formation when they were digging and loading soil bags. When the Taishan soldiers filled in the trench in front, these people were already digging and filling the bag, and when the front came back just to refill these soil bags, they continued to rush forward to fill the trench.
To tell the truth, if it is an ordinary battle group, this kind of enemy trench is all captured to fill in the soil, and a bag of soil is carried to a wooden stick, and only by collecting five wooden sticks can it rest. As for those that can't be collected, they will die in the front, just to fill the ravines.
The reason why they drove Ding Kou to fill in was that, on the one hand, they didn't take the lives of these leaders seriously, and on the other hand, it was also because they had to recuperate their energy to deal with the subsequent attacks. Who would fill the ravines with their own people like the Taishan Army.
But the Tarzan army can, and it's moving fast. In less than two moments, ten carts had already sent four hundred bags of earth, and directly filled in a fifteen-step flat earthbag bridge on the ravine in front of the Han barracks, which was enough for one to charge at the same time, which was completely enough for Guo Mo and them to charge in a vertical formation.
As soon as the Taishan army in front was filled, a yellow flag was raised and waved forward.
Guo Mo, who was standing in front of the formation behind, saw the flag waving, and knew that the ravine had been filled, so he pulled his mask and said in an urn voice:
"Raise the sword soldiers, change the peace. Rush with me"
The soldiers who were wrapped in double armor like Guo Mo read this sentence and began to charge with Guo Mo, who was carrying an iron spear.
As soon as they rushed to the front of the car, they hid in the car, and then drove straight to the camp under the cover of the car.
The Han soldiers standing on the barracks had never seen such shamelessness, and they had to hide behind the carts. At this moment, seeing that the armor soldiers below were getting closer and closer, they were all anxious, and hurriedly asked the shooters to change their fires.
The Han soldier archer who was destined to wrap the oil step around the arrow, put a brazier on it, and four or five used a brazier to ignite the fire, and after Russia, it was a rain of fire on the cart below.
The car is covered with cowhide and used to set fire, but in fact, this thing can really block the fire, that is, it does not support combustion. This rain of arrows fell, and the cars of the Taishan army began to squeak, which was the sound of burning wood, and it was estimated that it would not be long before these cars would be scorched.
The Taishan army below encountered a problem, but the Han soldiers above were not having a good time either. You must know that it will already be June, and it will be the hottest afternoon of the day, and the Han soldiers will set up braziers here, so you can imagine how hot it is.
The shooters of the Han soldiers were all wearing leather armor, which was already impermeable, and they immediately sweated like rain. But in the end, it was the soldiers of the Northern Army, it was so difficult, and no one said that they wanted to extinguish the brazier.
This is the military order like a mountain, and the discipline is strict.
But the Han soldiers can resist, and the big river bandits behind them can't stand it. These people were Yang Du's subordinates, and after they took a thousand Shui Kou to recruit peace, they were divided into troops. Half was assigned to the west wall, and the two hundred northern sergeants here guarded the west wall. Half of them were assigned to the east wall, and they were joined forces with the two hundred northern sergeants here. As for Yang Du himself, he was naturally detained in the Chinese army, and he would be guarding the most important south wall.
It can also be seen from this that the seed shao never thought about treating this group of water coars well, but used them to consume.
In the military newspaper sent to Lu Zhi in Hebei, he truthfully wrote about the incident of appeasing the water of the river:
"There are people who have a big river and have repeatedly begged for caressing. If he refuses repeatedly, he is afraid that he will know that his life is over, so he will take risks and throw himself into the Yellow Turban Moth thief and Zhang Thief's army. If not, he will show restraint, put an end to his collusion, and recruit his soldiers to think that it is consumed. It's a lot of money. ”
Yang Du, who went ashore with joy in this way, was taken away as soon as he came ashore, his subordinates acted as dogs and sheep, and his people served as military officials.
So now you can understand the slackness of Xibi Shuikou, after all, his own kui was imprisoned, and he was driven away as a sheep dog, and no one was angry. Moreover, they are water cowards, and they are talking about righteousness rather than military discipline, so some of them have retreated behind the wall and should stay away from the brazier.
But as soon as they retreated, a team of big axes rushed behind them, beheaded them directly, and then tied their heads to bamboo poles and passed their heads to the wall.
was killed by these Han soldiers and soldiers, and no water cobs said that it was hot, and they were more afraid of death than they were afraid of heat. Although the cool killing of the Han soldiers stopped retreating, the water robbers were all sad for the death of rabbits and foxes.
At this time, the Taishan soldiers below were also speeding up the siege.
They unloaded the ladders from both sides of the cart, and then began to combine the two short ladders into one with the iron cone of the arms, and in this way, without the Han soldiers noticing, ten ladders were hung on the west wall.
The Han soldiers were shocked, and immediately there were strong men holding bamboo poles to push down the ladder, but there were already armor soldiers standing below. In the end, one of the ten ladders was knocked down, and the other Taishan soldiers waved Changge and continued to climb the west wall.
Guo Mo, who was standing under a cloud ladder and commanding to climb the wall, saw that the brothers had already gone up the wall, and his heart was settled. There are these armor soldiers nailed to the wall, and this west wall was finally taken down by him Guo Mo.
It was also at this time that a sudden change occurred.
The soldiers of the Taishan Army, who had already killed the wall, suddenly saw a group of crossbowmen coming up on both sides of the wall.
"It's a rhubarb crossbow."
Then there were arrows on both sides like flying locusts, and the sharp arrows pierced through the armor, and through the skin, the Taishan soldiers were nailed to the wall.
There were three soldiers who climbed the city, except for the outermost three who jumped directly off the wall and were injured, the rest died.
Guo Mo below was about to climb the ladder, when he suddenly heard a scream from above, and at first he thought it was an enemy soldier, but when he listened carefully, it was his own person. Dengshi's heart tightened, and he immediately shouted to the side:
"Hurry up."
It was also at this time that three of their own people suddenly jumped off the wall, and they cried:
"It's the Han soldier's rhubarb crossbow."
Guo Mo was about to ask again, but dozens of leaders of the Taishan Army were thrown down on the west wall, and the wall was turned into a Shura field.
Looking at these withered heads, thinking that they had just spoken boldly to him, Guo Mo was furious and shouted with an iron spear:
"Pigs and dogs, die for Naigong."
Then Guo Mo saw a Han soldier suddenly appear above, holding a rhubarb crossbow in his hand, and the arrow on the crossbow was already aimed at him.
-------------------
Just when the Taishan Army's Guan Yu Lieutenant Department launched a general attack on Puyangjin, not far downstream of Puyangjin, Luo Gang and Pan Zhangzheng were leading their Shui Kou brothers to drag out small boats from the grass. These are all hidden by the big river Kou before, and they will all be raised by Luo Gang to do a big thing.
Pan Zhang helped Luo Gang push the boat and said:
"Brother, are we really going to do this for Tarzan Yellow Turban? It's not a trivial matter, it's just that Zhang Chong said it nicely, saying that they were attacking in front to attract the attention of the Han soldiers, and asked us to retrograde to the Puyang Bridge and stab the Han soldiers from behind. But don't think about it simply, brother, the Han soldiers are no longer prepared for the back, and there will be no one to guard the bridge. ”
】
Luo Gang was pulling the rope and dragging the boat, listening to Pan Zhang's words, he was silent for a while, and then said:
"Ah Zhang, I didn't think about this matter simply, but I thought about it more. I also thought that even if we killed on the bridge, we would be the first to rush the Han soldiers. At that time, if the Taishan army in front of us can't rush in, we will be in danger. ”
Pan Zhang frowned and said puzzledly:
"Brother, since you have thought of it, what are we still doing here? It's better for us to go downstream and start again, or even not, we can still go to Dajiang. There are so many lakes and seas in the world, there is always a place for you and my brothers. ”
Luo Gang shook his head and said to Pan Zhang seriously:
"The world has changed, the world is going to be chaotic, and it is no longer possible to be a carefree water coward. Today, you and my brother will take a gamble, betting that Zhang Chong is a character. Brother, are you willing to believe in Brother? ”
Pan Zhang looked at Luo Gang's eyes and nodded firmly.
