Chapter 49: The Bloody Battle of Guangzong (2)

Jiang Qi, who quickly ordered all the soldiers and horses, quietly took the army out of the back of the camp by nightfall, and this time the Han army used the most common method of attacking the city, surrounding three and one. Huangfu Song brought 40,000 horses as the main attack to attack the south gate, Guo Dian led 30,000 horses to attack the east gate, and Jiang Qi led nearly 25,000 men and horses to attack the west gate.

Although Jiang Qi had the smallest number of the three armies, his Banzai army was the most elite in the Han army, so Huangfu Song gave him the heaviest Ximen. The reason why the west is most important is that the enemy army is likely to break through from him and then go to Xiaquyang to join Zhang Bao's army. And it is also possible that Simon will be attacked by enemy reinforcements.

As for the lack of a north gate for the Yellow Turban Army to escape, it had already been handed over to Dong Zhuo, who led all the nearly 8,000 cavalry except for the Yue cavalry battalion to ambush halfway. It is believed that if the Yellow Turban Army really escaped from the North Gate, the Yellow Turban Infantry would have no way to die.

In the dark night, Xun You, who was full of nervousness, kept staring at the sky, his eyes were almost sour, and finally saw three rockets take off one after another. Then he shouted: "Lord! The Chinese army signaled".

Hearing Xun You's somewhat distorted voice due to excitement, Jiang Qi, who was full of confidence on the side, patted his shoulder, which was a little shaky in the cold wind, and said, "Gongda doesn't have to be nervous, you can get used to it after two fights." After speaking, Jiang Qi felt that it should be time for the rooster to crow, and then raised the spear in his hand without hesitation and said: "Ignition 、、、、、、"

"、、、、、、Shh

With Jiang Qi's order, thousands of torches were lit at the same time, and the torches that were emitting oil smoke for a while immediately illuminated for several miles as if it were day. When the torches were lit, the Yellow Turbans, frightened by the sudden situation, began to run around the city shouting 'enemy attack'.

At the same time, the sound of war drums was heard from the two gates in the distance, indicating that the other two armies were beginning to attack the city.

In the face of the attack of the two gates, Jiang Qi did not panic to let the soldiers advance, he knew that it must be a vicious battle to rush forward now, and the ferocious attack did not conform to his earlier strategy, thinking that Jiang Qi nodded at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu understood, and with a wave of the big knife, he ordered: "、、、、、、 on the bed crossbow"

'Woo, woo、、、、'

Hearing Guan Yu's order, the signal soldier beside him raised the horn and blew it, as soon as the horn sounded, the neatly arranged army quickly dispersed, and a group of soldiers carrying bed crossbows ran out from behind the formation, and did not stop until two hundred steps from the city wall.

Three hundred pairs of bed crossbows were lined up, and in groups of five, one pulled the string, one loaded the arrow, and two carried the aim, and then one person fired all the movements in one go. The bed crossbow, which can fire three arrows at a time, roars and fires deadly arrows the thickness of an arm.

In the face of the surprise attack of the Han army, the Yellow Turban Army, which was originally preparing to defend against the enemy, felt a vibration from under their feet before they could react.

When the bold soldier stuck out his head through the arrows by the light of the fire, he saw that the arrows as thick as the arms shot by the Han army were all nailed to the city wall less than three feet below them, and they were one foot deep into the earth.

Soon, the blue bricks attached to the city wall couldn't stand the powerful power of the bed crossbow and a lot of them fell off, and before the Yellow Turban soldiers could take a closer look, a new round of attacks came. The Yellow Turban soldiers, who had never seen such a siege method, were frightened, and they shrank their heads and hid behind the battlements, hoping that the battlements could withstand the strength.

As if their prayers had been granted by the Han army, the vibrations in the city became smaller and smaller, and the arrows shot lower and lower.

Just when the Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city was amnesty, there was a horn sound in the Han army's array, and the strange horn sound made them feel that the Han army in front of them was different. Now the earth-shattering war drums of the other two gates can well prove that the Han army in front of them is different.

However, just when the Yellow Turban Army was entangled in the sound of the horn, the overwhelming sound of breaking the air followed, and a large number of arrow feathers were sent to the city tower by the Han army without stopping.

Some of the Yellow Turban soldiers who couldn't stand being pressed and beaten wanted to fight back, but as soon as they let go of their shields, they were shot like hedgehogs. ** They don't know until they die as hedgehogs, and now all the archers of the Han army have been divided into three teams to shoot at intervals, and if they want to fight back, there is only one way to die.

The late autumn sun seemed to be unable to bear to see this human tragedy, and just after rising, it hid in the clouds and never came out.

However, the light of the sun did not mean anything to both the attackers and the defenders, and the only benefit was that the Han army no longer had to carry torches. And the bright heaven and earth also let the two sides see the results of the night's battle, the corpses of the two armies covered under the city tower, the blood stains all over the city and the still burning ladders, it was spectacular.

Last night, because of the surprise attack of the Han army, the Yellow Turban Army was unable to stabilize its position for a while and was suddenly rushed to the city tower by the Han army, but the Han army did not take the city gate in one go, and the Han army that quickly attacked the city tower retreated in the face of the resistance of the Yellow Turban Army, and then it was a night of offensive and defensive switching.

In one night, the Han army successively attacked the east and south gates as many as a dozen times, but each time they lacked stamina and were quickly driven down, with more than 5,000 casualties in one night.

Compared with the tragedy of the east and west gates, Jiang Qi of the west gate is more than a little better, after a 'fierce' siege, Jiang Qi miraculously has no casualties.

Of course, the reason why Jiang Qi did not suffer casualties was not that he was lucky, but that there were no casualties from the attack at all. Compared with the life-and-death duel in the other two cities, Jiang Qi's army is more like hunting, but the prey has become the Yellow Turban Army.

Jiang Qi's 20,000 troops took turns to fight, consuming eighty percent of the 500,000 arrows that they had finally mobilized in one night. The soldiers took turns to fight all night, and after shooting their bows and arrows, they had a lot of fun. Even Xun You, who had always been very nervous, later pulled Guan Yu to let him teach archery, but compared to wisdom, Xun You's archery skills were a little unsatisfactory, and he didn't even touch the city gate.

Of course, although Jiang Qi did not attack, the containment of the Yellow Turban Army this night was well completed, and it also brought certain casualties to the Yellow Turban Army.

"How, what about the other two?" Jiang Qi asked Uncle Jiang Ren who came in a hurry after putting down a white piece on the chessboard.

"Back to the lord, it is still going on, when I first came, our army was driven down at the south gate again, it seems that Huangfu Jianshou, the son of General Huangfu, personally led people to charge." Uncle Jiang Ren said with his fists clenched.

"It seems that General Huangfu is in a hurry, should the lord also act!" , Xun You calmly looked at the soldiers who were resting and said.

Since the dawn of the army, the army began to rest and bury the pot to cook, Xun You couldn't guess what his young lord was playing, his comrades were fighting in front, but now he was playing chess here.

"What's the panic, it's not time yet, let's talk about it after this game." Jiang Qi smiled and waved his hand to let Uncle Jiang Ren leave, and then said with Bai Zi down.

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

"Father, what are you doing with Jiang Boxiao! Play Save Strength No! If he hadn't attacked the West Gate, there wouldn't have been so many reinforcements coming from the West Gate just now, and our army wouldn't have retreated. Huangfu Jianshou rushed to his father's car covered in blood and his hair and roared. Judging from his tattered clothes and the blood stains all over his body, he had just experienced a life-and-death battle, and he still had an arm that was constantly bleeding.

Seeing his son injured, Huang Fu Song was a little distressed, but he was not comforted as the chief general of the first army, and the person he was talking about now was a general of the same level as himself, Huang Fu Song had no choice but to say: "Jianshou goes down to heal, and must not shake the heart of the army, and Beizhong Lang will have his own strategy to break the enemy." ”

However, after saying that, Huangfu Song unconsciously looked in the direction of the West Gate, he didn't know what Jiang Qi was doing, the spies had already reported to him, Jiang Qi just shot arrows at the city tower all night, and did not use a single soldier at all.

Jiang Qi's move also had to make Huangfu Song suspicious of his intentions, yesterday the two of them planned to use the method of fiction and reality, Huangfu Song led an army to nominally attack Guangzong, and Jiang Qi led the elite to take the opportunity to capture the city gate. However, at this moment, Huangfu Song was confused, why didn't Jiang Qi use the opportunity of last night's sneak attack to break the enemy in one fell swoop.

On the wide chariot in front of the West Gate, Jiang Qi, who was leisurely and complacent, put down the decisive son and laughed: "Hahaha!! Gongda was defeated, it seems that Gongda is not quiet today? Losing all three games, it's not what a strategist should have. ”

"I'm ashamed, but if the lord can win this battle, what if he loses." Xun You said with a wry smile.

"Haha, cunning Xun Gongda." Jiang Qi threw down the chess pieces in his hand and scolded with a smile, but after laughing, his face changed, and he said sharply: "Someone has come to give an order!" The soldiers of the Jiang family were immediately rebuilt under Daxu, and all the arrows were distributed to the archers, and Zhao Zilong, Xu Gongming, and Tong Yuan's wings were transferred to the front army, and the rest of the troops began to organize their weapons and prepare for battle! ”

As Jiang Qi's orders were conveyed one by one, the Han army, which had rested for two hours, moved again. Seeing the actions of the Han army, the Yellow Turban army in the city began to get nervous again, but when they saw the arrow feathers flying from the Han army's array, they breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Han army was just attacking them with arrow feathers again.

The archers began to attack, but at this moment, Jiang Qi, who was about to get up to fight, shook his body and almost fell, and Xun Yu on the side hurriedly held him up. Seeing this scene, Guan Yu, who was next to the chariot, threw his weapon and jumped onto the chariot, grabbed Jiang Qi and asked with concern, "What's wrong with the fourth brother??" ”

Jiang Qi, who was dizzy for a while, shook his head vigorously, and when he stood up just now, he suddenly felt a blank sound in his head, but it was only for a moment, and he was soon fine. Jiang Qi broke free from the hands held by the two and said, "It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired these days", as the commander of the first army, he must be strong, and he didn't pay attention to the feeling just now.

Seeing that Jiang Qi was not uncomfortable, the two did not delve into it, and began to prepare for their own affairs, but Jiang Qi, who felt that something was going on, did not know that the Jiang family was thousands of miles away. At this point, a big event happened.

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

"Someone, someone!! Li'er, Li'er, hold on! Just now, Jiang Lin'er was making clothes for the soon-to-be-born child with Li Li'er in the back garden, and suddenly Jiang Lin'er saw blood oozing from Li Li'er's white dress, and then saw her holding her stomach in pain.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Lin'er was frightened, crying and shouting to the yard while supporting each other, and hearing Jiang Lin'er's shout, the maids and subordinates arrived one after another, and carried their young lady into the bedroom.

As soon as they entered the bedroom, Jiang's family moved, and the three stable women who had been living at home and waiting for help were hurriedly called, and Jiang's mother, who was out at this time, also rushed back.

Looking at the busy subordinates and the basins of blood and water, Jiang's mother was startled, and hurriedly asked her daughter who was crying: "What's wrong, isn't there still half a month to be full-term?" ”

"Li'er didn't know, she was making clothes together in the garden just now, but, 、、、 Wenpo said that Li'er was born prematurely. Woo, "Hearing the screams in the house, Jiang Lin'er cried again as she spoke.

As soon as Jiang Lin'er finished speaking, the door opened, and a panicked stable woman ran out of it, and after seeing Jiang's mother, Wen Po hurriedly said: "Madam, madam, suffered, suffered!" The young lady is bleeding, but, maybe, "

"What, bleeding!" As soon as she heard Wen Po's words, Jiang's mother almost fainted in front of her eyes, and bleeding meant that adults and children might not be able to save it.

"Grandma Wang, please help, save my daughter-in-law, as long as I save my daughter-in-law, Fang must thank you heavily, please!" Jiang Mu, who reacted, grabbed the stable woman and exclaimed.

"Madam, bleeding is a big deal, and seven or eight times out of ten there is no way to 、、、、 old body!" The stable woman timidly lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Mother Jiang, she knew the power of these families, if one was unhappy, she might never be able to return home.

"What did your old lady say, if something happens to the young lady and the young master of my family, a certain family will let your whole family fill in your life!" Yan Ming, who had just rushed back with his wife, heard the words of the stable woman, and was angry for a while, so he lifted the thin old woman up and glared angrily.

Seeing the ugly man in bright armor lift himself up, the old woman was immediately frightened and almost incontinent, but fortunately, Jiang's mother hurriedly stopped it. "Ahem, cough 、、、、", the old woman who was let go finally breathed a sigh of relief, coughed twice, and said timidly: "The old woman really has no choice, if the imperial doctor's order in the palace comes, there may be a glimmer of hope." ”

After speaking, Wen Po looked at the fierce guard worriedly, of course, she knew in her heart that the imperial doctor's order really came, I am afraid that the people inside will also run dry, as for whether the child can be saved, it depends on the will of God. Of course, she also hopes that the child will be born, so that maybe a few of them can get out alive.

Speaking of which, Wen Po hurried in to help, also to avoid the evil man.

"Please rest assured, Madame, the little one will immediately go and ask the Imperial Doctor to come." Hearing the words of the stable woman, Yan Ming, who was hopeful, hurriedly recommended himself.

"Be careful、、、 "Mother Jiang looked at her son, who had always been loyal to the guard, and nodded in agreement.

Of course, Jiang's mother also knew that the imperial doctor's order to treat the royal family was not so easy to come by, and she also knew what this loyal servant would do, but now it was the only way, she couldn't watch Li'er die for the Jiang family.

With his wife's consent, Yan Ming turned around and ordered a few guards dressed in Han army armor and said, "Follow me!" These guards were all personally selected by him among the family soldiers, all of them were heroes, of course, they were also soldiers of Jiang Qi's own barracks, but their task was to protect their families.

After Yan Ming took the people away, Jiang Da limped over and said to Jiang's mother, "Madame, do you want to prepare?" Today's situation makes him feel like he has returned to more than ten years ago, when his wife gave birth to a young master, and it was the same difficult birth at that time.

"Go, calculate the time, the people at home should also arrive, remember that after Yan Ming returns, no outsiders are allowed to enter the courtyard. There is something to be supported by your young master. Mother Jiang said calmly, and her voice showed the spirit of the head of the family.

"No!!"
