Chapter 20: The Beacon Heroes (7)
The war drums rumbled, the low horns whimpered in the air, and groups of East Vietnamese soldiers held high ladders and came to the front of the ranks, and the shield soldiers, archers, Ge soldiers and spearmen lined up one after another, ready for battle.
The horse came to the banner of Xu, under the escort of more than 100 relatives, quietly staring at the distant Da Mo City, on the Da Mo City, a general wearing silver armor was also staring at himself, and Su Shao could conclude that that person was the guard of Da Mo City.
And the war was about to break out, beside the whim, Shu Hongna looked at him with a soliciting gaze, and after a long time, Shu Hongna asked: "General, are you attacking the city?" ”
Su Shao was interrupted by Shu Hongna's contemplation, he looked back at the 20,000 eager soldiers, the desire for war in Su Shao's heart was also burning, he slowly pulled out the long sword from his waist, this is a four-foot long iron sword, which was specially customized in Jiangdong, and Su Shao wanted to use this iron sword from Jiangdong to kill the soldiers of Jiangdong at this time, to deter Xiang Zhuang, let him know that Dongyue should not be underestimated.
"Brothers, take up your weapons and kill me!" Su Shao finally burst out a roar from the bottom of his heart, and with a swing of his sword, the soldiers beside him shouted and roared like wild beasts.
Shu Hongna, who was on the side, was the first to ride out of the horse, brandished the spear in his hand, and roared angrily: "Charge me!" ”
On the other hand, Ding Hong stood at the head of the city, his eyes stared at the swarming Dongyue army, this army moved like ants, it could engulf Damo County in an instant, and the three thousand defenders and two thousand conscripts in Damo County were ready to fight in the city, this is a battle that determines life and death, and it is also the ultimate battle whether the East Chu State can hold the border line.
Although the soldiers are afraid, but Ding Hong is the last guard, as long as he does not retreat, the soldiers will have hope, they will have fighting spirit, he pulled out the long sword from his waist, looking at the closer and closer East Vietnamese army, Ding Hong roared angrily: "Archer, prepare!" ”
A team of archers ran to the battlement, drew their bows and arrows, and aimed in the air, seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, Ding Hong shouted: "Shoot!" Kill them! ”
After the archers got Ding Hong's order, they let go of their right hands, and the feather arrows roared out and shot into the distance, due to the special composition of the compound bow, the feather arrows could shoot to a hundred and fifty steps away, and the city was condescending, and the feather arrows had fallen at a distance of two hundred and thirty steps, directly piercing the second wave of soldiers and horses of the East Vietnamese army.
Such a long range was completely beyond Ding Hong's expectations, he originally thought that this distance would just hit the enemy's front team, but it allowed the East Vietnamese army carrying the ladder to successfully cross the defense line, but the second echelon of shield soldiers and spearmen were screamed by the sudden feather arrows, which also made Ding Hong understand why Xiang Zhuang would choose 3,000 people to garrison here at the end of the defense, it turned out that the best defense facilities were bows and arrows.
At this time, Ding Hong regained his confidence, he looked at the city, and ordered: "Keep shooting!" Prevent their follow-up troops from reaching the city. ”
The archers were still shooting arrows in the distance, and on the city, the defenders began to urge the conscripts to come to the battlements, ready to use the rolling wood and thunder stones to resist the East Vietnamese army that was about to enter the city, but at this time, the staff member Ma Zhuo walked over quickly, looking at the East Vietnamese army under the city that was blocked 200 steps away, Ma Zhuo said with great joy: "General, the enemy's follow-up troops have been pulled away, why not choose a lean army and surprise attack the enemy army under the city, this battle can be won." ”
Ding Hong was reminded by Ma Zhuo, he immediately probed out, looked down, and saw that under the city, there were scattered shield soldiers and Ge soldiers preparing to build a cloud ladder, and the follow-up troops were trying their best to wave their shields to block, moving slowly, Ding Hong was overjoyed in his heart, and ordered: "Don't stop the archers, I'm going to kill such a dog thief!" ”
At the time of a cup of tea, the south gate of Damo County slowly opened, and after a roar, Ding Hong took the lead, leading 200 cavalry and 300 infantry, and it was already lightning fast to kill out of Damo City and kill the East Vietnamese army under the city.
Screams were heard one after another, and the unprepared East Vietnamese army was slaughtered in all directions, and then, when the East Vietnamese reinforcements in the distance were about to arrive, Ding Hong's army had quickly retreated.
Not far away, the man who had been watching the battle was furious, he didn't expect that the bow and arrow of the Eastern Chu State were so sharp, he actually blocked his troops from a hundred steps away and couldn't get close, and the infantry under the city was attacked by a sneak attack, but he was afraid that it would be unfavorable to go out of the division, so he put away his long sword angrily and ordered to a personal follower: "Pass the order, collect the troops!" ”
The rapid sound of "bells and bells" sounded, which was a signal for the East Vietnamese Army to withdraw its troops, and soon, like a big wave, the East Vietnamese Army quietly retreated in silence.
……
Since Damo County was besieged by the East Vietnamese Army, the surrounding villagers have fled to Wusheng County, and Wusheng County has since closed the city gate and entered a state of emergency defense, and asked Zhuji County for help, and the intelligence agency within Wusheng County issued a flying letter to report to Huayu urgently.
At this time, the Eastern Chu State entered the turmoil, and the northward movement of Dongyue broke the calm of Jiangdong, and Wusheng County, which had not been at war for a long time, temporarily recruited people, and there were 1,000 defenders in the city to form a defense team to strictly control the city, but the specific information of Wusheng County was still taken out of the county by spies and sent to Wuzhu's army.
Far water could not quench the thirst of the near, just when the people in Wusheng County were uneasy and absconded with their families, a 5,000-strong Dongyue army came to the city, they beat the rumbling war drums, and the horn sounded in the air.
As the leader of the general, it is Teddy, he rode on a horse, raised his right hand in front of his eyes, looking at the distant city, the city, the Eastern Chu army is waiting, but it can be seen that this not a large county town has enough defenders, many people looked at the city in horror, this is a city that can be stormed down, Teddy observed for a moment, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Brothers, take this city, there will be women to enjoy tonight." ”
After a lewd laugh, Teddy swung his spear, pointed forward, and shouted, "Kill!" ”
The East Vietnamese army rushed towards U Dang County like a flood of embankments.
At the head of the city, the county commander Liu Yu cried with a sad face, the day before yesterday I just learned that the East Vietnamese army went north, today, the East Vietnamese army has been killed, now, the East Vietnamese army is all over the mountains and fields, the situation is very critical, he sighed helplessly, turned around and shouted: "Defend the city with all your might, there is a retreat to the latter, there is no mercy!" ”
The soldiers of the Eastern Chu Army rushed to the side of the wall battlement, and two hundred archers opened their bows and arrows and shot to the city, but due to the limited number of archers, the bow and arrow defense was too weak, and they could not inflict heavy damage on the East Vietnamese Army at all.
With the efforts of the conscripts, the rolling wood thunder stone that had been prepared was thrown downward, but the supplies were not sufficient, and the East Vietnamese army climbed the ladder again after several rounds of strong attacks, drew its long sword, and killed the city.
A soldier had just climbed to the top of the city when he saw a Changge stabbing hard, and before he could react, he was pierced through the door by Changge, screaming and falling down the ladder.
But the people behind were not afraid because someone died in battle, they still kept climbing upward, one of them dodged the stabbing Changge, and then grabbed the handle with his right hand, pulled it back, and the soldier of the Eastern Chu Army was dragged out, the soldier swung his sword and slashed, and threw the soldier of the Eastern Chu Army down, and then, he climbed again, jumped up, and climbed onto the top of the city.
The same thing happened elsewhere, the East Vietnamese army slaughtered the city head one after another, swooped around the city wall, brandished long swords, spears and fought with the East Chu army, and those unarmed conscripts became lambs to be slaughtered.
Liu Yu, who had always commanded from the city tower, saw that the city was lost, and he looked up to the sky and shouted: "King, Liu Yu is incompetent, Wusheng County is lost!" ”
After roaring, Liu Yu swung his sword and killed the chaotic army.
The flames of war swirled around the county town of Wushen, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the sound of crying and fighting was endless.
The sun is setting, the day is about to pass, but the battle of Wusheng County is still going on, at this time the Eastern Chu army has been unable to resist, from time to time someone is left behind, screaming again and again, another hour has passed, the gate of Wusheng County slowly opened, an officer of the East Vietnamese Army waved his weapon in front of the city gate, and shouted excitedly: "The city is broken!" ”
"The city is broken, kill it with me!" Teddy laughed and rode his horse towards Wusheng County, behind, more than 1,000 people followed, and from a distance, it could be seen that the Dongchu flag at the head of Wusheng County was thrown down and replaced with the national flag of Dongyue.
When the East Vietnamese army jumped into the city, Teddy had already forgotten Wuzhu's instructions, and they slaughtered the people at will, plundered women, and looted money, killing and wounding thousands of people in the city in the blink of an eye.
In the north of Wusheng County, surrounded by mountains, a winding road leads straight to Wusheng County, a cavalry team of 3,000 people galloped on the road, as the first general, wearing a helmet and armor, wearing a dark green robe, he is Xiang Zhuang's side of the Xiao general Jun Zi Xu, when he was ordered to inspect Qiantang County, Jun Zi Xuan received Xiang Zhuang's temporary order, ordering him to rush to the aid of Wu Xiang County, to prevent the East Vietnamese Army from further north.
And the gentleman was also the first time he got the order, non-stop, along the gallop road, to the south of the rapid march, about two days away, the gentleman finally traveled through Zhuji County, through the mountains, when he was about to arrive in Wusheng County, a team of scouts had come in panic, and when he was near, the scout captain led by him arched his hand and said: "General, Wusheng County...... Lost! ”
"What?" Jun Zi couldn't believe his ears, the speed of the East Vietnamese Army was so fast, it actually took Wusheng County, he stopped fighting horses, thought for a moment, and asked: "What happened to Damo County at this time?" ”
"It's not clear, but there are 3,000 defenders in Damo County, and it is estimated that it will not be lost in a short period of time." The captain of the scout arched his hand, and the gentleman thought for a while, and ordered: "You should quickly go to find out if Damo County has been lost, and you are going to transfer Damo County to defend the last forward position for the king." ”
"General, if you abandon Wusheng County, will you be cut off by the enemy?"
", if Damo County is lost, what's the point of us going south, let's go and investigate." The gentleman reprimanded the scout captain, then turned around and ordered: "Speed up, let's march to Damo County!" ”
……
The third update, it's zero, and it's finally finished.
