Chapter 126: The Second Day of the Siege
Early the next morning, the red sun was rising, and the corpses of many rebels were still lying crookedly under the city, and the blood stained the moat at the north gate red.
These scenes all tell the tragedy of last night's battle.
After having the soldiers eat breakfast early, he came to attack the city again.
This time, he changed his previous strategy and chose to use cannon fodder to exchange the life of the Changning army first.
Bi Chengen stood in front of the formation, waved his hand towards the city wall and shouted, "Kill me." ”
"Rush."
"Kill."
The rebels were like leeches that saw blood, carrying the ladder and heading straight towards the city wall.
Arrows rained down on the walls, and many rebels died before they could reach the city.
However, Bi Chengen was not distressed at all, just looked at all this coldly, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
Zhang Yun also had a headache when he looked at these cannon fodder, even if they were cannon fodder, but after all, there were many people, and the Changning army and the defenders in the city were limited.
The successive battles have already lost a lot of people, how can they withstand such consumption on the other side.
"Rolling stones, release arrows." Zhang Yun walked back and forth on the city wall, constantly commanding.
"Huh." An arrow slashed through his face, scratching his face through the skin.
"Be careful, sir." Zhao Hu hurriedly threw Zhang Yun to the ground.
"Hurry up, if you don't get up again, I haven't been killed by the enemy, I'm afraid I'll be crushed to death by you." Zhang Yun scolded with a smile.
Zhao Hu heard Zhang Yun's words, hurriedly got up and touched his head and said with a smile: "I'm not worried about your safety." ”
Zhang Yun got up and touched the wound, and there was still a trace of blood on his hand.
"Damn, this arrow almost killed Lao Tzu," Zhang Yun rarely burst into foul language.
The rebel who shot Zhang Yun under the city looked depressed when he saw that Zhang Yun had not died.
Looking at Zhang Yun's dress and behavior, he guessed that he might be a big official, and if he shot him, the general would not reward him with 100 taels of silver.
If Zhang Yun knew that he was only worth 100 taels of silver here in this little soldier, he would probably scold his mother in his heart.
"Damn, Lao Tzu has more than 100 taels of clothes on him."
"My lord, this place is still too dangerous, or you should go down first." Wang Zhong heard that Zhang Yun was almost shot, so he hurriedly came over to dissuade him.
"Yes, sir, you can't have an accident."
Zhang Yun waved his hand and refused righteously: "As the commander-in-chief, what will the soldiers under me think if I escape from the battle?" ”
"How do you make me obey the people."
"Then my lord, if you don't change into the clothes of a soldier, your clothes are still too conspicuous."
"If I change into the pawn's clothes, how will the soldiers know that I am there?"
"I just want the soldiers to know that I'm here watching them." Zhang Yun refused again.
Seeing that Zhang Yun was stubborn, everyone had to send a few more people to watch him.
Although the cannon fodder occasionally climbed the city wall, they were immediately suppressed by the Changning army.
The sun was getting higher and higher, and the sun was shining on the blood, which was particularly dazzling.
At this time, Changning Jun's physical strength had reached its limit.
Seeing that the timing was almost there, Bi Chengen waved his hand behind him, and the remaining blue wolf army roared and rushed towards the city wall.
Suddenly, the pressure of the Changning army increased sharply, and a blue wolf army ascended to the top of the city, followed by a second and a third......
Zhang Yun shouted loudly: "Dongcheng is about to break, go and call Lu Chen's reserves." ”
Although Lu Chen experienced the big battle last night, he didn't expect the offensive to be so rapid today, so he had to come to the east gate with reserves to support.
The reserve team had sufficient physical strength, and the people who cooperated with the first and second squads drove down the blue wolf army that had climbed to the top of the city.
However, there are still blue wolf armies surging up the ladder.
Seeing this, Zhang Yun shouted loudly: "If it's really too late, just hold the rebels and jump for me." ”
As soon as Zhang Yun's words fell, several Changning soldiers roared, and then fell directly to the city wall with a few rebels in his arms.
There were a few heavy crashes from below the city, and they vanished.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers were so ferocious, the Blue Wolf Army was also shocked by the fact that it was completely lifeless.
Zhao Hu was stained red by the blood of the rebels, and after hacking a rebel to death, he stepped on the city wall and shouted: "If you are not afraid of death, come, grandpa invites you to eat good food." ”
Seeing that he was like a bloody demon god, the rebels were so frightened that they didn't dare to step forward, and they retreated.
Although the rewards are very rich, you can't send them to death.
Knowing that he is dead and following him, isn't he a fool?
After several attempts, the rebels had to leave behind countless corpses and retreat in a hurry.
Bi Chengen did not stop the rebels from retreating this time, because he knew that the official army was now at the end of its power.
He really saw that if it weren't for the reserve of the official army in the end, he was afraid that he would be able to break the city today.
"Thank you brothers, have a good rest tonight, and we will break the city tomorrow." Bi Chengen said with a smile.
Seeing the rebels retreating, Zhang Yun shouted loudly: "We won again, and the rebels retreated again." ”
"We won again, we won." The soldiers cheered.
Zhang Yun saw that many soldiers were wounded, so he hurriedly asked the military doctor to come and deal with them.
This was all dug up by him at a great expense from the medical hall in the capital, so that it could come in handy today.
"How? Today's casualties" Zhang Yun leaned against the city wall and squeezed out a smile at Xiao Ruxun.
"We are not the main direction of attack, we have lost a lot of soldiers, and now I have less than 1,500 soldiers under my command."
Zhang Yun heard this number, and his heart was also tight, Xiao Ruxun had lost so many people at the south gate, and he was afraid that the east gate would be even more miserable.
"My lord, we lost another 700 people today, and now there are 3,500 brothers left."
Although there are countless enemies killed, the number of people can't compare to the other side, and it is not advantageous to fight the crowd tactics with the opposite side.
Zhang Yun nodded, patted Wang Zhong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Hold on for a few more days, I believe that the army of the imperial court will arrive soon." ”
"At that time, our crisis will naturally be lifted."
Bi Cheng En Barracks.
Bi Chengen's eyelids jumped when he heard the number of casualties, and in two days, he suffered more than half of the casualties.
Of course, there are still 20,000 people gasping for breath, but for the rebels, once they lose the ability to fight, it is no different from dying.
"Big brother, don't worry, our losses are so huge, I estimate that there are less than 3,000 officers and soldiers left in the city."
"The destruction of the city is just around the corner." Biyun smiled and persuaded him.
Bi Chengen nodded, he also saw that the officers and soldiers were almost running out of oil.
He commanded, "Rest well tonight and have a good meal." ”
"Tomorrow, let's go and break the city."
Biyun smiled and received the order, and went to order the gang to add food to the army.
It's a picture of victory.
"Come, brothers, I'll give you a toast." Bi Chengen raised his wine glass to the crowd.
Everyone hurriedly got up to respond to Bi Chengen, and then drank it all.
"Hahaha......"
"It's so happy, come, give me good food and drink tonight."
The rebels fought tough battles one after another, and now that the city is in sight, the tense string in his brain instantly relaxed, and he drank a lot tonight.
Biyun pulled Bi Chengen over, with a little worry: "Big brother, the brothers are drunk tonight, I'm afraid that the official army will come to rob the camp." ”
"The younger brother is too worried, the number of officers and soldiers is not large, how dare he go out of the city to fight with us in the field?"
"Besides, the officers and soldiers have long been exhausted." Bi Chengen replied unconcernedly.
"Big brother, didn't we also take advantage of the fatigue of the officers and soldiers yesterday to attack the camp?"
"How many people we have, how many people are on the other side, I think you are getting more and more timid."
Bi Chengyun wanted to say more, but Bi Chengen interrupted impatiently: "Okay, okay, you don't have to say it again." ”
"Just wait and see me break the city tomorrow."
Seeing that Bi Yun was reluctant, Bi Chengen had to nod his head curtly.
Then, looking at the drunken rebels, he muttered in a low voice: "I hope the other side really won't come to rob the camp." ”
Pingyu City.
Zhang Yun's big tent, Xiao Ruxun and Zhang Yun's generals gathered together.
"Now that the rebels are strong, I judge that if they continue to defend to the death, I am afraid that the city will be broken in two days at most."
After hearing this, the generals nodded again and again, they had seen the ferocity of the rebels, and if they continued to fight like this, they were afraid that the city would be destroyed overnight.
"I need a general to lead our cavalry to raid the camp, even if it can delay the rebels for two days."
"But I'm afraid it's bad luck to go, I don't know which general is willing to go."
"I'll go." Zhao Hu was the first to stand up and stretch out his hand.
Zhang Yun interrupted: "You can't do it, you still have to guard the east gate for Lao Tzu." ”
Zhao Hu had to stand aside stupidly.
"I'll go."
"I'll go." Then there were constant generals talking.
"I'll go!" Chen Rui, who had not spoken in the corner, said lightly.
Zhang Yun nodded and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, if you die in battle, your sister-in-law and your nephew will only be alive as long as I, Zhang Yun, are still alive." ”
"I'll raise them for the rest of my life."
"Thank you, sir."
