Chapter Twenty-Four: A Tentative Encounter
Under the command of Wu Ming, the infantry under his command began to push the trench bridges forward, and built the trench bridges under the city step by step.
The main purpose of the moat bridge is to deal with ground traps such as traps and trenches, so as to ensure that the warriors can quickly enter and exit on them, and will not be overshadowed by insidious tricks such as traps on the ground.
Behind this trench bridge, there was a rather rudimentary Lu bus, and the rushing car covered by the Lu bus was pushed forward by the infantry.
Because of time, Wu Ming did not have many siege equipment in his hands, but they were already able to cause a considerable degree of danger to Hyun County.
Hyunshi County is just a small county town, with a low wall almost four meters high, which is already the most effective defense of this county.
At this moment, facing the various siege equipment pulled out by Wu Ming, even Liu Tai had a headache when he looked at it, and the only preparation he had to make was to prepare a lot of oil, stones and arrows, but when it really started, the consumption of these materials was amazingly fast.
Especially for materials such as fire oil, basically as long as these engineering equipment are close to the city wall, Liu Tai will decisively order people to pour fire oil, and then light the flames, and burn these siege weapons as soon as possible.
Wu Ming used various siege equipment as a cover, organized archers to throw arrows at the city, and it was not important to be hit or not, but the most important thing was to make the defender uncomfortable.
Secondly, as the Lu bus was constantly pushed by the infantry, and even pasted to the low wall, I saw a bunch of soldiers killed in the Lu bus, as if he wanted to take down the city wall in one go.
And under the most neglected city gate, at this moment, the city car hit the city gate even more, trying to knock open the city gate of Hyuncheng County, it can be said that as soon as Wu Ming made a move, he attacked the entire county in an all-round way, not giving people a chance to breathe.
"Wang Rujing, you organize people to block the gate of the city for me, if the enemy army breaks through the city gate and kills in, the whole county will not survive!" Liu Tai looked at Wang Rujing and said simply and simply.
Wang Rujing heard Liu Tai's words, nodded and said, "Sima, I know how to deal with it!" ”
After Wang Rujing finished speaking, he immediately went to organize the strong men to go under the city wall to resist the attack of the rushing car.
Because of the city gate as a support, the young man organized by Wang Rujing only needs to use his body to resist the gate as much as possible.
"Tell the warriors that the enemy is rushing up, and one will kill me and two will kill me!" Liu Tai said to several lieutenants directly under him at this moment.
"Every soldier will go to the front for me, and they will record your exploits, your heroic appearance, and your name!
Your legend will live on in their pen from this day on. ”
Liu Tai looked at the soldier in front of him and said, "At this moment, I only have one sentence of encouragement with you, we are a strong man, but we are the enemy of Wuhu!" ”
"I'm a strong man, but I'm the enemy of Wuhu!" Several of Liu Tai's fighters replied in unison.
Hearing that Liu Tai sent those scholars who taught the Book of Han to the front line, there was nothing unacceptable to those scholars.
Although the wind of the Wei and Jin dynasties has begun, it is the top level of the children of the family, especially the descendants of the family who are eligible to enjoy the wind of the Wei and Jin dynasties.
But most of the soldiers under Liu Tai are collateral branches, and the only way for them to climb up is military merit.
In addition, when Liu Tai arranged them, he said that they would record the exploits of the soldiers on the battlefield, so they would definitely appear on the front line of the battlefield.
Liu Tai stood at the head of the city, and his flag stood here, so that everyone could see the flag flying.
In troubled times, fire oil was spilled, and with the assistance of the opponent's siege weapons, there was still a Lu bus that approached the city.
These soldiers who got off the Lu bus, the armor on their bodies was not complete, after all, Liu Kun didn't have much money!
But they rushed down and saw the well-armored city defense warriors.
These soldiers formed squads according to the usual drills, some with shields, some with guns, and some with slapsticks.
The soldiers reacted instinctively, and the attacks fell on these enemy troops who had managed to climb the city wall with great difficulty.
To be honest, as the warriors under the command of Wu Ming are not weak, but no matter how weak they are, they are also flesh and blood, and they can resist Liu Tai's weapons but only armor, not their willpower.
Their armor rate is not high, which makes them not afraid of death, but they can't change the weakness of their defenses.
Even if they desperately try to change one for another, the shield soldiers holding shields are basically veterans, and they have no chance!
The recruit may not dare to intercept the opponent's attack because he is afraid of death, but the veteran understands that he can only survive if he stops the opponent and cooperates with his teammates' attacks.
So in the face of the pre-death counterattack of this famous pioneer soldier, the shield soldier directly carried the shield and collided with it, no matter what tricks you have, eat my shield strike.
Then the recruits with spears behind them follow the barrels of various spears on each other, guaranteed to be stabbed to death!
At the beginning, Liu Tai could see that those soldiers who had just enlisted in the army were not very adaptable, but they had stabbed a lot of spears in their hands, and naturally the fear in their hearts was eliminated.
Even that Xi Zhubo, every time a pioneer soldier was killed by the team, he even shouted the number of killings first.
"One", "Two", "Three"......
This number not only inspired the soldiers in front of them, but also intimidated those who had just climbed first.
Although they personally felt their comrades-in-arms fall one by one, turning into the numbers that the other party kept reporting.
They looked around in horror, knowing that they and the others had climbed the city wall, but the soldiers defending the city became more and more courageous.
At this moment, they felt that they were no longer the hunters who attacked, but the prey that had fallen into the trap, so alone.
At this moment, even Wu Ming found that although his siege weapons had sent his soldiers to the city, the soldiers could not take the city wall in one go.
Obviously, there is an elite in this Hyun County, an army that can compete with itself head-on.
At this time, a scout came to report that the army of the puppet Han began to appear in the south.
Wen Qiao heard the scout's information, and then looked at the Lu Gong cars that were burned by Liu Tai's army, and understood that it was impossible to take the party's land in one go, so he said:
"The general broke the pot pass and took the party, which has made the Xiongnu puppet Han have exhausted their courage, for the sake of Liu Bingzhou's plan, please also ask the general to collect the war heart, and leave it for the future to break the Xiongnu Han Kingdom!"
Wu Ming couldn't help but shake the reins when he heard Wen Qiao's words, nodded and said, "I'll let the other party go!" ”
Soon Wu Ming was Ming Jin withdrew his troops and ended this wave of attacks.
"Meng Dong, lead the doctors to help the wounded immediately, the seriously injured will be given priority, and the lightly injured will stabilize their injuries, and then rescue!"
Liu Tai watched Wu Ming evacuate, and immediately beckoned Meng Dong from the Ninth Battalion to come over for medical treatment.
When Meng Dong took the nine battalions to the city wall, everyone had several bamboo tubes hanging in their hands.
They sent the bamboo tube to these people who were fighting on the front line of the battlefield as soon as possible, so that they could replenish the water as soon as they slackened, which was requested by Liu Tai, and the bamboo tube was full of salt water with table salt.
And these soldiers are not polite, they took the bamboo tube and drank it with a clatter, of course, some people vomited and needed to rinse their mouths with salt water.
At the end of the war, Meng Dong's Ninth Battalion suddenly became busy, first classifying the patients, treating the seriously injured as soon as possible, and informing them of the ways to save themselves if they were lightly injured, so as to avoid their casualties caused by wound infection as much as possible.
At this time, Wang Rujing once again came in handy.
It is more accurate to say that it is because the family has finally produced a Wang Shuhe, although he is only at the level of a generation of grandmasters in history, following those guys such as Hua Tuo, the first surgeon, and Zhang Zhongjing, the medical saint, there are still several levels that can be reached by changing jobs, but in the end, it can be regarded as a generation of famous doctors.
Therefore, the Wang family has no ability, but if you want to get some medical craftsmen, you can make up a dozen casually.
Especially this Uncle Wang also sorted out the "Pulse Sutra", which made the people from the Wang family who didn't know how to take the pulse, so they didn't have the face to speak.
In the final analysis, it has not yet reached the Five Hu Chaohua and the well-dressed Nandu, although the upper class of the scholar clan has been messed up by the Sima family.
But for many local scholars, the family has the way of living of the family, and the powerful and powerful play.
Although the powerful are very attractive, many thousand-year-old families still play their own games and ignore the elites' struggle for power and profit.
Especially the technical families represented by Zhang Tianshi, at least if they can protect themselves, most of them strive to carry forward the career of their ancestors.
And the Hyun Wang family started with Wang Shuhe, so naturally they can't lose Wang Shuhe's medical skills.
"Are there so many doctors in the Wang family?" Liu Tai looked at Wang Rujing and beckoned, and more than a dozen doctors came out for treatment, and couldn't help but sigh a little emotionally.
After all, if you want to give birth to a qualified doctor, especially the difficulty of traditional Chinese medicine, it is really not an ordinary difficulty!
"If you become a royal family, even if a dog stays in his house for three years, at least he will be able to call the pulse!" Meng Dong said enviously.
"Give you a task, find a way to dig some of the people from the Wang family into the ninth camp!" Liu Tai patted Meng Dongdao:
"Even if you can't dig up a healer, it's no problem to dig up some apprentices, after all, we mainly treat external injuries!"
"I'll give it a try......" Meng Dong couldn't help but answer when he heard Liu Tai's words, and then Meng Dong suddenly came back to his senses and said,
"Why don't you find Wang Rujing, I think it would be better for him to come forward than for me!"
"I'm just a Sima, it's good for the Wang family to let the Wang family's apprentice enter the ninth camp, can I still let the entire Wang family bet on me.
How many can you dig and count a few, this is at most the personal intention of the apprentice of the Wang family, not the refuge of the Wang family! ”
Liu Tai waved his hand, explained to Meng Dong, and pointed to the heavens, "Family, the only one who can make them bow their heads is ......."
Meng Dong looked at Liu Tai suspiciously, and always felt that Liu Tai had a maturity different from his age, especially with this year, Liu Tai entered a period of rapid growth, which was probably thirteen to fifteen years old, which was unreasonable but grew quickly.
This makes Liu Tai's height quite deceptive.
Meng Dong stretched out his hand and said to Liu Tai, "Give money!" ”
"Money? You have to talk to them more about your ideals and the future, so that they can understand how meaningful and promising it is to follow us to revive the Han Dynasty! Talking about money with the family all day long, how vulgar it is! Liu Taiyi said solemnly.
Well, although Liu Tai doesn't really want to admit it, but in terms of the facts, he has no money!
"Report to Sima, the Jin army has retreated, are we in pursuit?" At this time, Zhao An ran over to report.
"All withdrawn?" Liu Tai couldn't help but wonder.
"Well, they've all withdrawn, and there's no even point to packing up the camp!" Zhao An said.
"Then don't chase it!" Liu Tai shook his head and said, "If they dare to retreat under our noses, they must have left a trap waiting for us, and we will just guard this county!" ”
"In addition, Chu Saijiu, you help me write a letter to my uncle, just say that we finally managed to defend Hyuncheng County, and there has been a great loss of manpower and materials, let him send someone to send some supplies over quickly, if I delay any longer, I will starve to death!" Liu Taidao.
"Do you need to report to Liu Yuanhai!" When Chu Yi heard Liu Tai's words, he couldn't help but ask rhetorically.
Liu Tai shook his head and said, "I listen to my uncle, so let's see my uncle's opinion first." ”
Liu Tai knew very well that if he went to hug Liu Yuanhai's thigh at this time, he could ask for something from Liu Yuan's mouth.
But the problem is that he plans to take over the political power of the Han generals represented by Wang Mi in the future, so his political position naturally cannot tolerate any flaws.
It is true that there is a quick way to access resources, but it also comes with corresponding political risks.
With his age, even if he has made meritorious deeds, no one may be willing to give him the corresponding status, but he will be called a white-eyed wolf.
When doing things, people do have to be smart and know how to use different skills, but if they are too smart when they are a person, they will only be smart and be mistaken by smart.
No one can always disguise themselves as flawless, on the contrary, stand firm in their position, even if it is annoying at first, but it will not be jealous, because your attitude is clear from the beginning, and no one will misunderstand your position.
At the same time, the network of relationships he has been building under Wang Mi is enough to allow him to be taken care of at the age of twenty.
As for whether he will break with Wang Mi in the future, it depends on whether Wang Mi will choose the Xiongnu or the Han Dynasty.
Liu Tai knew that he would be Wang Mi's subordinate for a long time, and he could only be Wang Mi's subordinate.
So there is no need for him to have any contact with Liu Yuan, of course, even if he has any connection with Wang Mi, Wang Mi will not say anything when he is so young, just treat himself as ignorant.
But the cracks in any relationship start from these little things, one small thing is not important, but one small thing after another, accumulated, then who knows when it will erupt!
Chu Yu looked at Liu Tai and sighed silently in his heart, he always felt that Liu Tai was good everywhere, but he was too young, and he was still an uncle.
Seeing Liu Tai's decision, Chu Yi didn't persuade anything, but was ordered to write a letter to Wang Mi.
And Zhao An continued, "Sima, in addition, Lu Yi, the general under the command of the King of Chu, led five thousand infantry to be less than twenty miles away from Hyun County, and a special envoy was sent to visit!" ”
"Oh? Please! Liu Tai was also overjoyed when he heard this, no matter what, this was also the arrival of reinforcements.
