Volume 1 Troubled Times Chapter 72 Flame Purgatory
And the situation faced by the entire Xiong Ben army is that they will not only be baptized with arrows and crossbows, but also tested by stones.
As time passed, the first wall gradually became unable to withstand the enemy's attack, and more and more Xiong Benjun's foot soldiers climbed the high wall.
Wang Rong said to Wang Hao: "Blow the bamboo whistle, let the 3,000-man team retreat to the second high wall, and let the 5,000-man team respond." At the same time, the 4,000 men were told to drop stones and crossbow arrows at the first wall when the 3,000 men had retreated from the first wall. ”
Wang Mo bowed and said, "Humble and commanded." ”
The 3,000-strong detachment quickly withdrew from the first wall, passed through the communication trenches, and returned to the second wall. After Xiong Benjun's foot soldiers attacked the high wall, Yu Sheshi and An smiled, and Ashina Siyuan complimented: "Xiong Benjun is worthy of being my Xiong Xiong Division, and he attacked the camp of the Yong thieves in just one hour. ”
Yu Sheshi and An showed a hypocritical modesty, and just as they were about to speak, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
I saw that the first high wall burned from the bottom without warning, and the first high wall instantly became a huge torch. The fire not only burned the high wall, but also the ladder that was built on the high wall.
At the same time, a large number of stones fell from the sky and slammed into the high wall. The tens of thousands of Xiong Ben soldiers who climbed the city wall were hit by these two blows, and they collapsed in an instant, and they could not escape, and soon turned into tens of thousands of humanoid torches.
The high wall was directly poured outward under the action of the supporting sloping wood behind it, coupled with the burning of the flames, and it was basically impossible for the Xiong Benjun infantry soldiers outside the wall to cross the trench.
Most of the ladders erected on the trenches had been damaged to varying degrees during the battle, and the foot soldiers rushed to the ladders in a hurry, trying to escape from this earthly purgatory. Then the "click" sound sounded continuously, and the flying ladder could not bear the excessive weight and broke into two.
A large number of ladders on the trench were continuously broken, and the bears on the ladders were thrown into the trenches, and each of the bears tried to escape from the chaotic battlefield, but they could not work together, and the result was that everyone was nailed to the bamboo sticks and thistles in the trenches.
Li Sujie and Wang Mao were stunned, they were dumbfounded, and Wang Rong wanted to be happy.
Li Sujie was so frightened that he couldn't say it: "Captain, this... This... ”
Wang Rong said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's just a little clever." ”
Wang Mo broke out in a cold sweat on his back: "Captain, your little cleverness directly caused Xiong Benjun to lose 20,000 foot soldiers." ”
Wang Rong shook his head and said: "20,000 foot soldiers is a bit exaggerated, there are more than 10,000 people to die, and if I can kill half of them, I will be content." ”
Li Sujie was really speechless, more than 10,000 people died at once, and the general of Xiong Ben's army was angry if he was not angry.
In the camp, Yu Sheshi and An's hands grasped the wooden railing of the watchtower, and their nails dug deep into the wood. He was really shocked and angry by the scene in front of him.
Ashina Siyuan looked at the Flame Purgatory in front of him in a cold sweat, and his heart had already begun to tremble. If the thief had used this trick last night, how many of his 60,000 troops would still be alive, it would really be unknown.
You must know that these 60,000 people are not all Ashina's tribesmen. The entire tribal army, the large tribes only accounted for more than 30,000, and there were more than 20,000 people made up by other small tribes. If he had suffered heavy losses in the war of the southern invasion, then the chieftains of the tribes would have torn him alive.
In Guangmu City, Zhang Songqi stood on the west city wall, and behind him stood Zhang Gengxiao and Zhang Pu.
Zhang Gengxiao didn't understand the situation a little: "Dad, what's the situation?" Was this Wang Duwei's camp breached so quickly? ”
Zhang Songqi didn't answer, he silently counted the banners of the bearded people in his heart. The grassland people and the Central Plains people have been fighting for thousands of years, not only hostile, but also learning from each other. The grassland people are very good at riding and shooting, and they have their own set of tricks for the cultivation of horses, and through thousands of years of infiltration, the Central Plains finally mastered this set of cultivation methods.
The military advancement of the Central Plains people also made the grassland people learn, and the Qigu equipment is one of them. Like the people of the Central Plains, the steppe people also command the army with banners, and all kinds of flags represent the hundred-man team, the thousand-man team, the 10,000-person team, and the great army of an elite army.
Just when Zhang Songqi was silently counting, Zhang Pu retorted to Zhang Gengxiao and said: "Big brother, you are wrong, as treacherous and cunning as Wang Zhongming, he will not let the Bearded Man break through his camp so easily." ”
Zhang Gengxiao just wanted to refute it, but was interrupted by Zhang Songqi: "This Wang Zhongming is very powerful." ”
Zhang Gengxiao asked suspiciously: "Dad, don't speak for that kid just because your sister likes that kid." ”
Zhang Pu said with a shy: "Big brother, what are you talking about? ”
Zhang Songqi didn't pay attention to the eldest son's words: "I didn't speak for this kid, look at his arrangement, do you see anything famous?" ”
As the eldest son and son of the Marquis of Linjin, Zhang Gengxiao still has the ability: "Dad, I heard that Wang Zhongming rebuilt the camp built for him by Lin Duwei. ”
Zhang Songqi glanced at his eldest son, snorted, and sneered: "Let you listen more, watch more, and talk less, you always talk a lot." You only know that Wang Zhongming rebuilt the camp, but you don't know that he expanded the camp, and the high wall that is burning now is only the first one, and before this high wall, there is a trench that is more than one zhang wide and more than one foot deep. And such trenches and high walls, he built three roads. ”
Zhang Gengxiao was dumbfounded: "Dad, is this Wang Zhongming a fool, digging so many trenches and building so many high walls, how much manpower and financial resources do you have to consume?" It's too rigid, it's not flexible at all. This kind of tactic can also be thought up by Wang Zhongming, a nerd. Dad, is this Wang Zhongming so cowardly? ”
Zhang Songqi looked at his eldest son coldly, and split his head and covered his face with a lecture: "You are not stupid, you are not a fool, if you only know how to fight and rush, how long do you think you can live?" Although Wang Zhongming is young, he is not in a hurry to fight, he knows that the first thing he needs to do is to protect himself and make himself invincible, and the way of attack is not to take the way of bloody fighting, this kid knows very well how to use weapons to kill and wound the enemy, in order to reduce the damage of his own soldiers. This kid's tactics are amazing, you give me a good look and learn hard. ”
Zhang Gengxiao was trained by Zhang Songqi to lower his head and not dare to look at people, while Zhang Pu laughed on the side.
Zhang Songqi continued: "Last night, the Badgers launched a sneak attack and were directly broken by a trench, the Death Thousand Squad was directly killed in the trench, and the 60,000 tribal troops who followed up were directly smashed back by waves of stones. Ploughman, which army do you think these Badmen are attacking today? ”
Zhang Gengxiao thought for a while and said, "The tribal army of this bearded man was tossed last night, and the morale must not be high. Therefore, it should be Xiong Benjun's foot soldiers who launched the attack today. ”
Zhang Songqi nodded and said, "Even if you still have some eyesight, the Badgers who attacked this time are indeed Xiong Benjun, 20,000 people, 20,000 pennants, 20,000 square flags." The fire just now will reimburse at least fourteen thousand people of the Badgers. ”
Zhang Gengxiao slurped, and he said in disbelief: "Dad, so much? More than 10,000 people died on that high wall? This Wang Zhongming is very ruthless. ”
"Dad, I'm going to take the medical camp to the West Camp, you see?" Zhang Pu asked cautiously.
Zhang Songqi didn't look back, waved his hand, and said, "Go ahead, pay attention to safety." Zhang Pu got his father's permission, and happily turned around and went down the city wall.
