Chapter 86: Fierce Battle

Although the battle on the wall was much more fierce than the previous two times, it seemed that there would be no crisis for a while, and the initiative was firmly controlled by oneself.

Forty or fifty ladders were erected. If you look at it from outside the gate, you can take a long walk along the wall, and the momentum is indeed quite shocking, but if you look at it from the gate tower of the wall from another angle, the perception will be completely different: more than 2,000 regular officers and soldiers, and more than 4,000 auxiliary soldiers, all crowded on the wall, are more than enough to deal with these dozens of breakthrough points.

In siege warfare, the defenders have a considerable advantage. First of all, the towering walls and strong battlements can bring a great sense of security to the defenders psychologically, which is especially important for recruits - in the field, recruits may be terrified of the flesh and blood in front of them, and with the support of the walls, it will add a lot of courage. Secondly, in order to resist attacks from diagonal upwards, the attacking side must cover as much of their body as possible with their shields, while the heavy walls provide the best protection for all defenders, allowing them to attack with all their strength and move much more freely. Thirdly, the besieging side must rely on the elite as the backbone of the attack, while the defender is much more relaxed, and even a half-grown child and a strong woman can play a role similar to that of a soldier - isn't it just lifting a stone and smashing it down......

Generally speaking, the besieging side launches an attack when the strength of the army is five times that of the defenders, and the probability of success will be relatively large, and it can also fight a dozen when it is three times, and the victory or defeat is in the number of five or five. Hehe, isn't this looking for death? The thief is afraid that his brain is not in the water. Either that, or cornered!

"Ahh

A terrible scream not far away interrupted Sun Fugui's train of thought, followed by an exclamation and commotion, which frightened him even more: Why, there are thieves who have already gone up the wall?

Looking closely, it turned out that two auxiliaries collided together, one took an oil pot and was about to splash it under the city, and the other had just thrown a stone and turned his head and ran back, and the two collided together. The oil pot overturned, all buckled on the chest and abdomen of the pot servant, this guy fell to the ground like a pig and screamed and rolled, and kicked over the asphalt pot again, the burning asphalt spread rapidly on the ground soaked in boiling oil, and the surrounding soldiers and Ding Zhuang watched all this in horror, and not far away, there was a large pile of fire pots in chaos!

Sun Fugui was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat!

This distance is not far away—he is less than two feet away from there; It's not close—the fire is only four or five feet away from those pots! It's definitely too late to run over and save it. said that it was too late, and a figure flashed in the air in the oblique stab, and I saw the head of the palace Ma Weiqian, Pei Zhong, cross the fire in the air, and the moment he landed, he slashed down, and accurately slashed on the neck of the guy who was drenched in boiling oil and was still desperately struggling to roll, and the miserable howl stopped abruptly. Guan Qianzong's trouser leg, who stepped into the edge of the asphalt with one foot, also caught fire, but he ignored it completely, threw down his waist knife, pulled up the body of the deceased with both hands, and dragged it violently, which was able to block the flow of fire!

In addition to the stench of asphalt, a burnt smell of barbecue also permeated the air. The oil-soaked corpse began to burn in an instant—however, at the last moment, the fire was finally stopped by the corpse! As more asphalt flowed over, the burning creek slowly spread to the sides......

"Wow", an auxiliary soldier carried half a bucket of water and poured it on the trouser tube that burned half of the pipe in the pipe training to extinguish the flames. Guan Peizhong seemed to be unconscious, leaned over and picked up the waist knife and scolded: "Japanese thief, move the fire pot away!" What about sand? Quickly cover some soil and put out the fire, and your mother will hurry up soon! ”

Sun Fugui strode over, stretched out his hand and patted Guan Peizhong's shoulder in approval: "Good man, good job!" ”

Guan Peizhong nodded, and was about to reply, when he opened his mouth and hissed violently, and took a breath. Sun Fugui looked down and saw that Guan Peizhong's calf was burnt, and the pale yellow liquid (of course Sun Fugui didn't know what lymph was) was oozing out mixed with blood, and hurriedly shouted: "Lang Zhong, Lang Zhong!" ”

Scald medicine is a necessity for battlefield ambulance, Lang Zhong, who was carrying a huge wooden medicine box, hurriedly ran over, looked at the wound, opened the medicine box, and then cast a hesitant gaze at Sun Fugui, looking a little hesitant, looking like he wanted to say something and stopped. Sun Fugui said angrily: "Bastard thing! The injury is not very serious, so don't hurry up and apply the medicine! ”

Lang Zhong hesitated and said, "Go back to the two generals." This injury is really not serious. However, if you want to be foolproof, you have to endure the pain of this master......"

Guan Peizhong blinked and said blankly: "Sir, you can cure it." At the same time, Sun Fugui asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Lang Zhong was busy opening the medicine box under his hands, and replied in his mouth: "I'll explain to the two generals while applying the medicine." As he spoke, he looked around, picked up a short wooden stick casually, tore a rag and wrapped it a few times, and handed it to Guan Peizhong, "Master Jun bite tightly." Then he got up and drew a burning stick from the fire beside him and walked back.

"It is not difficult to treat water and fire injuries, and at the end of the elm grinding, adjust it with sesame oil, and apply it externally." As he spoke, Lang Zhong patted Guan Peizhong, pointed to his mouth and motioned him to bite the wooden stick, and then used the burning wooden stick in his hand to the wound.

"Hmm, hmm...... Guan Peizhong bit the wooden stick tightly, a series of muffled sounds came out of his throat, and he grabbed a few handfuls in the air in vain with both hands, and then clenched his fists and slammed them to the ground, bursting with beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead - the skin was already burned to the flesh, and then the wound was roasted with fire at this time, the severe pain can be imagined!

"Don't move, don't move. This general, you still need to be patient for a while, it's fine, it's fine. Lang Zhong carefully moved the flame, always keeping it at a place of about half an inch from the wound, and roasted it slowly, "The scald is most afraid of being poisoned by the wind, and the cold evil will enter the body, and if you don't do it, this leg will be wasted." The first few days are often fine, and nothing can be seen on the surface, and then later, it is rotten from the inside out, and at that time, unless it is the reincarnation of the Medicine King Bodhisattva, no one can do anything. The villain was next to the fire pot to wrap up the wounds of a military master, and the villain saw it, if it weren't for you, the villain would have blown up. The villain's life was saved by you, and I dare not treat you without what I have learned in my life......"

Finally, the flames left the wound. Lang Zhong opened a drawer in the wooden box and took out a small magnetic jar with a lid, which was filled with black mud-like black paste that had been prepared long ago. Lang Zhong opened another cloth bag, sprinkled the powder in the black paste, stirred and mixed it with his dirty fingers, grabbed a handful and carefully applied it to Guan Peizhong's legs, wrapped it in a strip of cloth, and tied it tightly. "Fire is the most evil. The villain added some ice chips to the elm paste to stop bleeding and build muscles. How about the general, the legs are much better, right? ”

Guan Peizhong felt a trace of coldness spread from the injury, although there was still a faint pain, but it was really much more comfortable, nodded and replied, "Much better, thank you, sir." ”

Lang Zhong hurriedly said: "The villain doesn't dare to be." The villain will come to the master to change the medicine for you three days later. The villain retired. ”

Zhu Fugui reached into his arms and took out a piece of broken silver and threw it to Lang Zhong: "Mr. has worked hard." ”

Lang Zhong bowed down and thanked him: "Don't worry, the injury is fine, you can move around as much as you want, but don't be vigorous." Don't eat cow and sheep these days, it's hair, it's not good for healing. The villain retired. ”

Guan Peizhong reached out to hold Zhu Fugui's outstretched hand and stood up with strength. Looking at the densely busy defenders on the wall, the two said in unison: "There are too many people, but they can't show ......."

Sun Fugui said: "You take half of your son down, take a rest first." ”

Guan Peizhong hurriedly said: "My lord, I am not tired of my humble duties, what Mr. said just now is not in the way." ”

Sun Fugui looked up at the sky, then turned his head and smiled at Guan Peizhong: "The thieves can't attack for a long time, and they are much more tired than us." Ben would have thought, wait...... Let's have a counterattack, how about it? ”

Guan Peizhong was overjoyed when he heard this, and replied loudly with his fists: "Humble obedience!" ”

Outside the east gate of Xin'an City.

Guan Shengyun led the crowd to watch the battle quietly. Gong Derun leaned towards Guan Shengyun on his horse, frowned, and said, "Look, the sons and daughters are a little tired. ”

Guan Shengyun casually said "um", still staring intently at the battlefield. The smoke is too big to see. Occasionally, the mountain wind blew, and the ladder on the wall could be seen clearly, and at a cursory glance, five or six of them had been burned by asphalt, and most of them were still there. The battle is still going according to plan.

Seeing that the most critical moment is coming, whether you can achieve the set goals in one fell swoop!

Guan Shengyun looked around at everyone, and all the generals straightened up on their horses and looked back at their boss firmly. Guan Shengyun raised his hand high, paused for a moment, and waved it downward......

Tom, tom, tom!

The drums of war suddenly sounded behind the generals.

With the sound of drums, several tall flags were also erected: a two-zhang high handsome flag, next to it was a five-zhang deputy general flag, and on the other side were two three-zhang general flags.

The handsome flag slowly hung down and lifted in the direction of Chengguan; Hang down, lift; Hang again, lift again. If so, three.

Tom tom to......m to The drumbeat gets denser.

A hundred archers, protected by the same number of shieldmen, marched towards Hangu Pass. Advancing to the city wall, they shrank behind their shields and aimed at the city.

Guan Shengyun, Gong Derun, You Futian and Guan Yehuo also instigated their war horses and slowly moved forward, behind them was a small phalanx of three hundred ironclad sword and shield soldiers.

Behind them, there were several flags, surrounded by twenty horse guards, who followed the generals two or three feet behind.

Hearing the sound of drums, the attack under the city suddenly intensified, and in a few places, the thieves once attacked the wall. One of them is just near Kou Zhizhang. Deputy General Kou, who had just been unpretentious, suddenly saw a bloody gourd-like head emerge from outside the wall three feet away, grinning at him, and retreating in fright, until he ran into another defender who was struggling to thrust downward.

Fortunately, a royal palace protector was long, and a knife was volleyed down, and the thief hurriedly raised his hand to cover it with a small round shield tied to his arm, and the person was crooked and was shocked out of balance and couldn't stand up and saw that he was about to fall down the ladder, so he simply threw the knife in his hand at Kou Zhizhang. The latter was so frightened that he forgot to dial it, and as soon as he realized his head, he squatted on the ground, and finally avoided it - well, it was Deputy General Kou who avoided it, but the unlucky guy who was hit by him didn't avoid it, and just turned his face to see who hit him, he was embedded in the door with a knife, and the person suddenly fell softly.

Kou Zhizhang couldn't see it through the wall, and the thief threw his knife and grabbed the beam of the ladder with his bare hands, and the man was hanging in the air and kicking his feet, struggling to hold a hand with his shield-tied arm. The chief of the fruit was not willing to let go of such an opportunity, and with both hands together he grasped the hilt of the sword, leaned out half of his body out of the wall, and was about to squeeze it violently, when suddenly, a spear tip emerged from the back of his head—behind the knife thief on the ladder stood a spearman with a spear holding a stabbing spear......

Kou Zhizhang, who had just stood up, only felt a heat between his legs, and was so frightened by this close fight scene that he peed his pants, but fortunately, there was a skirt covering it outside, which was not obvious, but his feet were wet for a while. Raising his eyes, he saw what Sun Fugui and Qi Xiaoguang were talking about, and hurriedly stumbled towards the two of them step by step.

Qi Xiaoguang also felt that there were too many soldiers to close up, and it was just right for Sun Fugui to withdraw half of the people, but he didn't expect Sun Fugui to have the idea of counterattacking. I heard the sound of drums just now, and then saw the thieves coming to backup, although there were not many, but those generals still made Qi Zhifu a little nervous.

The same scene felt completely different in Sun Fugui's eyes, and he was overjoyed! rushed to close the door to take a look, and saw that the crash was still hitting the gate in vain, so he walked quickly to Qi Xiaoguang's side, and said with a smile: "Lord Qi, the thief is going to be defeated!" ”

Qi Xiaoguang's eyes lit up, he looked outside the wall, and suddenly said, "Could it be that the thief is already at the end of the crossbow?" ”

Sun Fugui pointed at the flag and said: "My lord is right!" After fighting for so long, the thief general couldn't sit still, and personally supervised the battle. After a little more fighting, it's time to run for your life! ”

Qi Xiaoguang was overjoyed: "It's all up to General Sun Huwei!" When I go back after this victory, the palace will definitely show the prince Chitose: General Sun should be the first to make the first contribution in this battle! Of course, this mansion also has to play another Ming Sheng, asking for credit for the general! ”

These words fell into the ears of Kou Zhizhang, who came over, and he looked at the thieves dozens of feet away, thought about it for a while, and understood what was going on - the thief who dared to love was dying! A gust of wind blew, and Vice General Kou felt that his crotch was cold, and he couldn't help but shiver, but his mind was more sober: his embarrassed appearance just now was mostly looked at by these guys. In the future, I will definitely not want to see myself even more! When the thieves are defeated, and the great work is monopolized by this barbarian surnamed Zhu, it won't work! But...... And what should I do to get a share of the credit and show my face again by the way?

I only heard Sun Fugui continue: "My lord, please look, the thieves have been attacking for a morning, and they have no physical strength, and the thieves will personally come up to supervise the battle, these hundred or so archers", as he spoke, he grabbed Qi Xiaoguang's arm and pulled it to the side, and with a "whoosh" sound, a cold arrow swept behind Qi Xiaoguang's head, "My lord, be careful, move inside." ”

Qi Xiaoguang was also startled, and moved two steps to the inner wall: "Thank you, General Sun." Where did you just go? ”

Sun Fugui continued: "These archers and those sword and axe men are the last strength of the thief general. Wait, wait for the thieves to press them all up, I will lead the sons and daughters who have just gone down to rest to counterattack, this group of thieves has all lost their strength, hahaha, guarantee that none of them can escape! ”

Qi Xiaoguang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "General Sun can't." From the point of view of this government, we should be cautious, as long as we hold the Hangu Pass, we will be done! The province has received news that reinforcements have been sent to the provincial capital and the provinces. As long as we ensure that Luofu and King Shou are thousands of years old, it will be a great achievement. Tongguan in the west, the Yellow River in the north, we just need to firmly block the thief's east road, and when the reinforcements arrive, the matter of searching the mountains and suppressing the bandits will be handed over to them, let's go back to Luofu to wish Jie! ”

Sun Fugui was originally the protector of the palace, and he wanted to launch a counterattack when he hit Xingtou just now, but at this moment, after being reminded by Qi Xiaoguang, he understood his responsibilities and hugged his fists and said: "What the adults said is true." The last will obey. ”

Kou Zhizhang, who pretended to be casual on the side, made a small calculation in his heart: It's good for you to take all the credit in your own hands in a few words, and don't look at Lao Tzu! The guys who look down on people don't wait to see Lao Tzu on weekdays, and today God will send a splash of wealth to his mouth, Lao Tzu has to make a great achievement, let you guys who are not long-eyed take a look!

This knowledge point: scalding and wind poison.

Ancient people did not understand bacteria, inflammation, tetanus. There is no sterilization in the treatment of trauma, and even the herbs are directly grabbed and pasted with dirty hands, and the wound infection is all attributed to wind poison and evil poison. After countless attempts, it was finally found that in addition to cleaning the wound with water, the probability of inflammation of the wound roasted with fire will be much smaller. Of course, the injured person has to bear more pain or even secondary injury.
