Chapter 368: Fighting Puyang Again (11)
In the middle of the night, the soldiers who had been fighting all day were asleep, both inside and outside the city, and only a small number of patrolmen kept patrolling.
When Zhuang Shaoyou dragged his tired body back to his residence, it was already outdated.
Fang Cai discussed military affairs with his subordinates for more than two hours, and his head was chaotic.
Pushing the door into the room, he found Mo Mei dozing off at the table, still holding a half-finished female red in his hand. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Mo Mei, who had not fallen asleep, immediately woke up, and was overjoyed to see Zhuang Shaoyou come back, but then frowned slightly, got up and walked forward, and said:
"Look how tired you are, and you don't know how soon to come back and rest! If you don't take care of your body so much, you can't bear it even if you're an iron man! You always spoil yourself so much, how will you accompany others to old age in the future? If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about us, especially when your sisters are so young, can you bear to be widowed at a young age? ”
Mo Mei kept chattering while unbuttoning Zhuang Shaoyou's cloak and removing his armor, but Zhuang Shaoyou's heart was warm and not annoying at all. Looking at Mo Mei's resentful eyes, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, and his ambition was great, so he picked up Mo Mei and walked to the couch. As he walked, he smiled and said, "My husband is in good health, and you haven't been taught!" These days are busy, it seems that you have forgotten how good you are for your husband again! ”
Mo Mei snorted lightly, and soon his willow eyebrows rose upside down, patted Zhuang Shaoyou's shoulder vigorously, and scolded in his mouth: "Death!" Don't mess around, take a shower and go to bed! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou smiled: "Relax, it's out of the way!" ”
Mo Mei exerted all his strength and pushed Zhuang Shaoyou away: "Get out!" The smell of blood all over your body, hurry up and take a shower! ”
At this time, the door of the room opened, and when the children of Ruhua Ruyu saw the house, they saw Zhuang Shaoyou's virtue, and scolded hatefully: "Anxious ghost!" ”
Zhuang Shaoyou heard the voice, looked back, and found his children, but his face was not red and his heart was not beating: "What? Would you like to come along? Come on! Let's sleep together tonight! Ruyu, go and call a few of them! ”
At this moment, two healthy women carried a large wooden barrel into the house, followed by four healthy women, each carrying a large wooden barrel, pouring water into the wooden barrel, Zhuang Shaoyou instantly stopped the hungry tiger that had just been brewing, smiled wryly, and did not dare to mess around again.
Everything was arranged, Ruyu threw a ball of things in her hand to Zhuang Shaoyou, and said hatefully: "This is a towel, and a change of clothes, you can toss it slowly!" ”
After speaking, he pulled his sister Ruhua and walked out, and closed the door with him.
Mo Mei got up with a blushing face, sorted out his scattered sideburns, and began to help Zhuang Shaoyou untie his clothes, Zhuang Shaoyou honestly let him be at his mercy, and instantly became as red as a white face and got into the barrel. The temperature of the water in the bucket is just right, one more degree is too hot, and one degree less is too cold, Zhuang Shaoyou let out a comfortable moan, and after two casual scrubs, there was no movement.
Mo Mei covered his nose with his hand, threw Zhuang Shaoyou's old clothes aside hatefully, and turned back to help him scrub them, but found that there was already a burst of snoring in the bathtub.
patted Zhuang Shaoyou on the shoulder in disgust, and scolded with a smile: "Dead ghost, you are tired like this and still want to toss people!" ”
The next day, March 13.
Early in the morning, the coalition battalion was given three times the standard rations, so that the soldiers were very well fed, because the city was still under siege today! It's not strong when you're full! But the soldiers didn't think so, and they had to die to be full of ghosts......
Yesterday, the coalition army mobilized 300,000 troops and stormed for five hours, and most of the coalition troops were very tired, and although they rested all night, they did not fully recover.
The princes of the coalition army naturally knew this, but the princes considered that the defenders in Puyang City would be more tired, so, relatively speaking, the coalition army still had an advantage! Mercy is not in charge, there is no need for mercy!
Zhuang Shaoyou at the head of the city was also very worried, the soldiers around him were still tired on their faces, and some of them still had injuries on their bodies, they were really slightly injured and couldn't get out of the line of fire! Yesterday all the reserves were thrown into battle, and a night's rest in such a high-intensity battle was naturally not enough.
But there is no way, the enemy is outnumbered, and Puyang City must be defended!
After a series of battles, the Fifth Army Corps is slightly better, and the other two Army Corps have been reduced by one-third, and their combat effectiveness has been weakened a lot.
No way! We have to find a way!
In the position of the coalition army, the 10,000 men and horses who did not participate in the battle yesterday were sent as the vanguard of today's siege, and every 10,000 people formed a phalanx, divided into three directions, and two phalanxes each time launched an attack on Puyang City.
As soon as the war started, the coalition forces did not have any fancy, and the surviving and repaired catapults that had been repaired yesterday began to make a big deal again, Zhuang Shaoyou immediately ordered the bed crossbow to rise to the platform, and fought back at the catapult mercilessly.
Under the cover of throwing stones, the vanguard of the coalition forces began to assault at full speed, and had completely abandoned the shield car, and instead arranged a shield hand in the front row, obviously intending to withstand the pressure and force the onslaught, as for the loss, he didn't care anymore, it was originally a way of fighting with injuries for injuries.
Zhuang Shaoyou's expression was solemn, and he immediately ordered the ballista battalion and the fire crossbow battalion to block it with all their might, and even the catapults climbed the city wall to help. The lethality of catapults is not weaker than that of the crossbow camp, but because the size of the stones is too large, it is not easy to reserve and mass produce in large quantities, so Zhuang Shaoyou has always attached more importance to the ballista.
The city roared into the wind, and the rubble and crossbow arrows flew under the city, fiercely plunging into the phalanx of the coalition army, bringing up patches of blood mist.
A quarter of an hour later, after paying a third of the casualties, the coalition vanguard finally approached the city, set up ladders one after another, and ascended to the city! And the second phalanx of the coalition rear has already started!
Zhuang Shaoyou looked at it from afar, and the second batch turned out to be 20,000 people! His expression became more and more solemn.
The battle situation in the south and east of the city is also similar, every half an hour, the coalition army throws 20,000 horses to attack the city, and the pace is twice as fast as yesterday! The coalition soldiers also rushed madly towards the head of the city, and although many people fell on the way to the charge, many people still climbed the city wall, and the two sides engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat at the head of the city.
Zhuang Shaoyou personally raised his sword into battle to boost the morale of the defenders, while Huang Zhong grabbed a crossbow and kept shooting at the general-level figures below, especially the servants of the battle team, who were even more ruthless! It was these overseers that forced the coalition soldiers to rush forward.
The area of the cityhead coalition controlled by Huang Zhong was indeed the burial place of the forward generals, and it soon spread, and those generals who were a little level and had different armor took a detour one after another, not daring to approach.
At dusk, after launching the last wave of the offensive, the coalition forces retreated like a tidal wave, and the defenders of the city took the opportunity to ask for some interest.
In the battle, the coalition army lost more than 10,000 people, and countless minor and serious injuries! And the defenders of the city once again paid the price of tens of thousands!
Huang Zhong's First Legion had only 12,000 men left, Sun Guan's Third Legion had 11,000 men, and Bao Xin's Fifth Legion had 13,000 men. Only half of the infantry is left!
Tai Shici's cavalry corps also lost more than 4,000 people!
At the military meeting that night, Zhuang Shaoyou finally couldn't resist the pressure and decided: "It's fucking too much!" Take out all your money! Everybody can make it so hard! ”
When the generals heard this, they were immediately a little happy, but they were still a little worried, although the oil bombs were good, but the number was limited, and it would be good to be able to kill and injure 20,000 coalition troops!
"Sanniang, what about thirteen? What is that little doing? How dare you not come to the meeting? ”
Hearing Zhuang Shaoyou's interrogation, Hu Sanniang was sincerely frightened, and hurriedly explained: "Back to the general, my thirteenth family has a cold and is bedridden, please forgive the general!" ”
Zhuang Shaoyou frowned, a little puzzled, Mo Shisan's deflated calf was stronger than a shark, and he could catch a cold? But I didn't have the heart to think about it, so I didn't delve into it, but continued:
"Okay, go back and transfer the sailor's crossbow riders and crossbow operators to participate in the defense of the city!"
Hu Sanniang immediately lowered her head when she heard this, wanting to object, but she really couldn't speak. Who are the two brigades before, they have also sent people to raid the coalition camp, but the coalition forces are so numerous that they can send thousands of people to keep vigil and patrol at will, and the damage caused by the sailors is like tickling for the coalition forces!
Mo 13 looked anxious, and quietly led two teams to look for opportunities last night, but he has not returned yet! Hu Sanniang was also full of worries, and scolded in her heart: This stinky little is really three days without opening the roof tile! When you turn around, you must whip this little meal hard!
There are still about a thousand crossbowmen and crossbow riders of the sailor, which are allocated to the three city walls, which is also a drop in the bucket, but it is better than nothing!
After the meeting ended, seeing that everyone was basically dispersed, Zhuang Shaoyou also got up and prepared to go back to rest, looking at this posture, the coalition army will definitely attack the city tomorrow!
At this moment, Hu Sanniang, who had been struggling, suddenly spoke: "General! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou stopped when he heard the sound, turned around and asked, "Something?" ”
Hu Sanniang hesitated for a long time, and she didn't say why.
Zhuang Shaoyou asked with some amusement: "Is Thirteen a little trouble again?" ”
When Hu Sanniang heard this, she was so frightened that she quickly shook her head, but then nodded again: "Last night, Thirteen led the two teams to leave quietly, and he hasn't come back yet!" ”
Zhuang Shaoyou was immediately angry when he heard this, but before he had time to attack, Hu Sanniang asked weakly: "General, do you say that he will be okay with Thirteen?" ”
Zhuang Shaoyou was instantly defeated by Hu Sanniang's pitiful appearance, not only could he not have a seizure, but comforted him with kind words: "Sanniang, don't worry, Thirteen He is blessed with a great life, there will be no trouble, maybe there will be an unexpected gain!" ”
When Hu Sanniang heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but then the cold light shone again, and she said hatefully: "When he comes back, the old lady has to pick his skin!" ”
Zhuang Shaoyou was also shocked when he saw it, this woman changed her face too quickly! And so fierce, He Mo Thirteen is really a natural pair of enemies!
Coming out of the City Lord's Mansion, Hu Sanniang's face sank like water, and she gritted her teeth and scolded in a low voice: "Mo Thirteen! You're a thousand-knife killer! For your sake, my mother is going to act and deceive people again! Don't come back, you'll be dead! ”
Having said that, Hu Sanniang's heart was full of expectations, looking forward to Mo Shisan's safe return, because it was her man.
