Volume 1 Troubled Times Chapter 46 Night Attack, Battle Damage
The seven people gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army, and Wang Rong handed the information to Wumo and Meng Song, and then said: "The general has rushed from the Wolf Mountain Pass. ”
When the six people heard this, they suddenly came to their senses, and Shao Hongxuan said excitedly: "Du Wei, that is to say, we have formed a flanking attack on the Devil Man now?!" ”
Wang Rong nodded, and then said: "Although a situation of flanking has been formed, we cannot take it lightly. In order to prevent the man-bearded dog from jumping off the wall, everyone was divided into four shifts, one shift of three hours, and kept their physical strength and energy in the vigilant colleagues. ”
The six of them nodded in unison: "Wow! ”
On the fourth day, the sun had already entered the horizon, and Wang Rong had slept too much during the day, so he got up and walked, and Wang Mao followed him with two personal guards.
When the group arrived at the head of the city, the sky had turned black, and the torches in the camp of the Badbeards flickered eight miles away, and according to the report of the scouts, the Bearded Men had been busy all day. They re-cut down trees in preparation for the construction of new siege engines.
Wang Rong stared at the camp in the distance, thinking in his heart. He has been in this world for almost a year, the form of the Central Plains is treacherous, and the seven countries have existed for more than two hundred years, according to the book that Wang Rong saw in his previous life, Chinese history is the history of dynasties turning in the cycle of rise and fall.
First of all, it is periodic, all dynasties have followed a historical law that repeats itself, "the deer dies in Qin, the snake rises in Han", the rise and fall of chaos, and the cycle is endless.
The second is universality, the three emperors, the five emperors, the Xia, the Shang, the Zhou, the Spring and Autumn, the Warring States, the Qin, the Western Han, the Xin, the Eastern Han, the Three Kingdoms, the Wei, Shu and Wu, the Western Jin Dynasty, the Wuhu and the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Sui, the Tang, the Five Dynasties, the Song, the Liao, the Western Xia, the Yuan, the Ming, and the Qing Dynasty.
The so-called: a person, a family, a group, a locality, and even a country, many units have not been able to jump out of the dominance of this cyclical rate. In a piece of Chinese history, there are those who "slack off in government", those who "die in government", and those who "seek glory and humiliation". But the end result still failed to jump out of this boom and fall cycle.
Finally, there is the rapidity. The so-called "its rise is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden". There are many short-lived dynasties in Chinese history: before the Qin Dynasty unified the world, it was founded for more than 550 years, but after it unified the world, it only existed for 15 years; The Sui Dynasty only existed for 29 years from its unification to its demise, which can be said to have risen and fallen quickly.
Northern and Southern Dynasties: In the past 150 years, the Northern Dynasties experienced the Northern Wei Dynasty together, the Eastern and Western Wei splits, the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi confrontations, the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Sui Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty; In the 170 years of the Southern Dynasty, four dynasties were changed: Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen.
During the period of the Five Dynasties, in just over 50 years, the world changed its masters five times, the Later Liang, the Later Tang, the Later Jin, the Later Han, and the Later Zhou, and the former servants succeeded each other.
Thinking about the current situation, it seems that it has returned to the Warring States period of the year. But Wang Rong felt that there was still a big difference, that is, the Quartet Barbarians had become stronger.
In the northeast, the sea water is the eastern boundary, the western boundary is the great Xing'an Alin, and the northern boundary is outside the Xing'an Alin, with strong strength and prosperous culture, and is known as the "prosperous country in the east of the sea".
The northern country of the Qiang, born in the Xiongnu, rode and shot the country, east to Daxing'an Alin, north to Luo Wilderness, south of the Yinshan Mountains, west to the Golden Mountain. Spanning more than 3,000 miles, more than 1,000 miles from north to south, with a population of millions, mainly nomadic herding, living in pursuit of water and grass, men riding sheep when they were young, using wooden bows to hunt rats and rabbits; When he grew up, he rode a horse and hunted, was a herdsman in peacetime, a cavalry in wartime, and had more than 100,000 people who controlled the strings, and his strength should not be underestimated.
Pusha Kingdom in the northwest is a small city-state in the Western Regions, with a small population and weak national strength. However, its geographical location is very special, living on the south road of the Silk Road, so that the national strength is gradually stronger, first west and then south, agreed to the south and west of the Western Regions, and later between the Xiongnu and the Qin Dynasty, after the decline of the two, the north and east of the Western Regions were also included in their own rule, and successfully unified the Western Regions. There is no shortage of war horses, especially heavenly horses, and it is mainly based on city-state farming, so there is a team of more than 100,000 heavy armored cavalry and more than 200,000 infantry.
On the southwest plateau, the Qiang people rose strongly, established a state in Jiqu, called the state of Xuan, ruled the Wei-Tibet region, established a strong state, and set up Wuru and Youru in the Weidi militarily; In Tibet, Yeru and Laru were established, as well as subordinate institutions such as Subiru and other five Ru. The cavalry was numerous, and the infantry was also considerable, well-equipped, and well versed in battle formations. The military law was strict, the soldiers fought bravely, they did not bring food and grass with them, and they used plunder as military resources. He has defeated the conquest of Yongguo many times, so that the southwestern border of Yongguo is uneasy.
To the south, the state of Suzhi swallowed up the other five kingdoms, monopolized the homeland of Ailao, and then conquered the Erhai Sea and the region south of it, and settled the capital in Yang Tho. Unlike the state of Xuan, which used the terrain of the plateau to defend against foreign enemies, it took advantage of the characteristics of the miasma in the south and adopted guerrilla tactics to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.
On the Gaya Peninsula in the northeast, south of Hunsu, the Gaya Kingdom was established. Its country is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and its human nature is fierce, strong, and good at fighting. The well-armed assault cavalry was the main force of the Goguryeo army, followed by those dressed in scarfs and armor, armed with spears and shields, or the infantrymen wearing crowns and heavy armor and carrying heavy swords and shields on their shoulders. Youguo, Yi and Ji are the main targets of harassment in Gayage, but they are only harassment, large-scale invasions or wars, and they dare not fight at all.
In such a situation, it is really difficult to dominate the mountains and rivers, and Wang Rong is just a drop in the ocean in this troubled world, one of the many living beings. How to survive in this troubled world is the only question he is thinking about now.
The cold wind blew through him, clearing his mind a little, and then he heard the slightest movement that was wrong. It's like a rat climbing a wall, but it's much louder.
Wang Mo said in a low voice: "Du Wei... ”
Wang Rong raised a hand to signal him to shut up, then used a few gestures, then slowly drew out his saber "Ten Thousand Enemies", and quickly dispersed with twenty personal guards, squatting under the battlement.
The movement became louder and louder, and after waiting for a while, Wang Rong saw a round rumbling head poking out of the battlement, and before the head could react, his knife swung out from the bottom up, and the round rumbling turned into a round ball, which fell to the ground with a grunt, and slipped out more than a meter.
There was a dull thud under the city walls, and it was supposed that the corpse had fallen from the top of the city and smashed to the ground. Then Wang Rong heard a noisy murmur coming out from under the city wall. Twenty guards quickly lowered their swords, raised their arms and crossbows, and fired crossbow arrows at the city wall.
"Puff Puff"
The dull sound of crossbows slamming into flesh caused more screams. The infantry of the Governor's Mansion on duty at the head of the city quickly drew a torch from the brazier on the side and threw it under the city wall.
Wang Rong looked down at the city from the shooting hole, and in an instant, cold sweat broke out on his spine. I saw that the city was densely packed and crowded, this was not an ordinary night attack, it could be said to be a siege.
Wang Hao's face immediately changed when he saw the situation under the city, and he quickly blew the bamboo whistle hanging on his chest, and the sharp whistle resounded throughout the city.
Umo was at the bottom of the city, and when he heard the whistle, he quickly climbed the city wall with his men.
"Captain, what's the situation?" Wumo glanced at the situation under the city wall, and knew that he had asked a nonsense, there were at least 3,000 people under it, and this was simply a siege.
Originally, according to the routine of night raids, once discovered, the troops should have been withdrawn. But instead of doing so, the Bearded Man continued to climb the wall. This time, the right general Hu Yanyun sent out an armored personal guard in his tribe, with strong combat power, wearing iron armor and holding a sharp blade.
When the second man climbed the wall, Wang Rong's saber slashed at the man, striking a spark. This surprised Wang Rong, and he shouted, "Be careful, this is the armor of the Bearded Man." ”
The armor warrior is the name given to the armored warriors of the Badbeard Khanate, which is of course different from the Beatles. Wang Rong changed his slash to a thorn, and stabbed it into the crack in the armor of the bearded man. directly stabbed the bearded armor warrior in pair.
More torches were thrown out of the city wall, and Wang Rong looked at the bearded men gathered under the city wall, and said to Wang Hao in a deep voice: "Throw the fire oil down!" ”
Hearing Wang Xuan's order, Wang Hao quickly moved to the city, found Shao Hongxuan, who was preparing to go to the city, and said: "The commander needs fire oil, just right, Hong Xuan, you bring someone with me, and we will go get fire oil." ”
Wang Mao's actions were fast, and in order to facilitate transportation, the oil had been changed to clay pots. Five hundred men, more than a thousand cans of kerosene, were quickly transported to the city.
The bearded people under the city wall were directly covered by a wave of fire oil, and then there was a bonfire meeting, but the source of the fire was themselves.
Wang Rong's personal guards are all re-recruited by the good sons of the good family who are good at riding and archery in Shuofang County, and they have been defending against the Devils in Shuofang County and the grassland all the year round, and from the perspective of strength alone, they are all battle-hardened veterans. After these sons of good families joined the guards, Wang Rong equipped them with a full range of armor and ordnance.
The well-armed guards, all twenty soldiers, quickly wound their arms and crossbows, and then fired crossbow bolts under the walls. The other defenders of the city drew their bows and arrows to the city, and in the rain of arrows and fire, the men under the city were stunned except for those who were dead, but also alive or wounded. A lot of people simply don't know what to do and how to do it.
At this moment, the "bell" sound sounded in the far away camp that shocked the spirits of the bade people under the city wall, and the still alive mane people began to retreat.
When he saw that the Badhead had retreated, Wang Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief, and fought at night, and he was the first time that the eldest girl got on the sedan chair. The whole city wall was in disarray, and there were more than 300 armor soldiers who rushed to the head of the city, and more than 300 people who could fight tough battles.
Wu Mo reported to Wang Rong with a pale face: "Captain, in this battle, we lost more than 500 people, all of whom were killed in battle. ”
