Chapter 56: The Death Squad
Well, using all the modern terms, Zhao Xingchen secretly scolded himself and explained, "The death squad is to fight for life regardless of life."
In the evening, select a group of strong people to form a death squad and go up from the side of Yangguan.
After that, go down to Yangguan and attack from a high place, and combine the inside and outside to break through Yangguan. ”
"This is something they have been prepared for, and it will not work at all. Otherwise, Yangguan will not be called Yangguan. Li Shuwen shook his head.
"That's right, there are high mountains and steep cliffs on both sides, and the height reaches more than three hundred meters.
The middle canyon is Yangguan, so there has always been a rumor that Yangguan is a man and a man is not open.
After many years of operation by the Chu army, Yangguan has laid stingers, traps, and traps on both sides.
And they are guarded by masters on both sides, and if they climb, they will have to pass through these traps, and when they come, most of them will be killed or wounded.
Second, even if they climb to the top, they can't pass the level of their masters.
People are on top, guarding the rabbits, but we are exhausted, and there is a burst of bombardment on top, and it is estimated that few people will survive. Yu Hai said.
"It's different now, the masters of Yangguan have transferred more than half of Chu Zhaonan, and there are not many people guarding both sides.
That's why I said it was a death squad.
As long as we can rush up a hundred people, the outside will attack fiercely, and the inside and the outside should be combined, and Chu Cairo will also take care of one and lose the other.
At night, it is necessary to take the Yangguan.
Otherwise, when it is dawn, it will be even more troublesome. Zhao Xingchen said, glanced at Cui Tianshou and said, "By the way, is the fire and thunder ready?"
"A thousand have been prepared, although it can't open the gate made by Xuangang. However, blowing up a large part of their defending city should not be a problem, as long as the death squad can rush up and throw it from a high place. Cui Tianshou said.
Of course, this kind of fire thunder was invented by Zhao Xingchen, in fact, it is just a small explosive* bag made of earth.
Like Zhao Guoguo's gunpowder, but he doesn't make detonators, but detonators are figured out by Zhao Xingchen.
It's just that Zhao's gunpowder production is not high.
Just these 1,000 fire thunders cost 150,000 taels of silver, and on the head, a small fist-sized fire thunder costs a hundred taels of silver, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a golden thunder.
The power of a fire thunder is not as powerful as a powerful blow of a great innate five-rank person, which is quite frivolous.
Therefore, due to production constraints, large-scale production is not realistic.
Moreover, he could not take out so much silver, so he could only use it on the blade.
Zhao Gang led the soldiers to continue to attack, and our arrows in Yangguan were in a hurry. His men rushed in to report.
"Bring all that you have in store to the front. Chu Cairo snorted.
"General, if you shoot all the reserves, what will you do in the future?**There are no troops to adjust to Tianguan, and it will take at least seven or eight days for reinforcements from the country to arrive. Deputy General Zhang Tangqin was in a hurry, and hurriedly said.
"So what do you say?
Chu Zhaonan has hollowed out our family.
Now he's fine, and he doesn't know where to hide when he slaps his buttocks, but this pot wants us to carry it.
This old bastard, damn it!" Chu Cailuo slapped the table in anger and scolded his mother.
"First move a part up, and divide it into seven or eight days' worth of shooting. Zhang Tang said diligently.
"What should I do if Zhao Gang calls?" asked the military advisor Cai Lin.
"You'll have to block him back with your body, or you'll have to run out of arrows. The Zhao army is attacking in a big way, we have no arrows to shoot, there is no deterrent at all, they will take the city gate directly, and the Yangguan will be broken in an instant. Zhang Tang said diligently.
"General Zhang, we don't have enough troops? In this way, it is estimated that we will not be able to hold out for two days. Cai Lin snorted.
"Bring back half of the men on both sides to defend the main goal. Zhang Tang said diligently.
"We were originally sucked away from four adult horses, and now we have taken away another half, what if Zhao Jun climbs up from both sides?" Chu Cailuo asked.
"The sides are more precipitous, and we don't know if we take away the people and horses. According to common sense, Zhao Gang did not dare to attack from both sides, after all, the casualties were too great. Zhang Tang said diligently.
"Alas...... Damn, smoke it. Of course, Chu Cailuo also understood that without people from both sides coming to assist in the defense, the city gate would not be able to defend it at all, so he could only slap the table and nod.
"Eighth Prince, you can't go!" When they learned that Zhao Xingchen had decided to personally lead the death squad to attack from both sides, Zhao Gang, Zhan Cangyun and the others immediately objected.
"You're the commander, you're gone, who's going to command the frontal attack?" Zhanzhang said.
"General Zhan pressed the formation behind him, and General Zhao led the army to attack in front, which is enough. Zhao Xingchen said.
"Absolutely not, it's too dangerous. Eighth prince, you are not only the boss, but also the prince, you have three longs and two shorts, how can we explain to the emperor?" Zhan Cangyun objected sharply.
"The prince is also a human being, and on the battlefield, we are all the same, and we are all one of the soldiers.
The prince should take the lead and charge ahead.
I have already written my last words, and when the time comes, there will be a real accident, two generals, whoever survives, please hand it over to my father. ”
Zhao Xingchen took out a letter from his sleeve and put it on the table.
"The Eighth Prince, climbing walls and rocks, and flanking attacks are what we like to do.
Eight princes, you can leave it to me.
If anything happens to me, please give this suicide note to my wife. Yu Hai pleased.
"Okay, this is the order!" Zhao Xingchen took out the order arrow, "Zhao Gang listens to the order, this prince orders you to attack the front, General Zhan commands the formation behind, General Shen, Cui Tianshou assists Zhao Gang in attacking the ......"
"Alas......" Zhan Cangyun was so anxious that he obeyed the ground.
"Zhan Cangyun, show your courage, the more fierce you attack head-on, the safer we will be. Zhao Xingchen said forcefully.
"The minister will never give up!" Zhan Cangyun said on his knees.
"Lord Ding, the Eighth Prince wants to personally lead the death squad to attack on both sides, you should hurry up and stop it. At this time, Ding Qiu came in, Zhan Cangyun saw the savior, and hurriedly said.
"Are you sure you can do it?" Ding Qiu looked at Zhao Xingchen with a cautious expression.
"Hahaha, no one can be sure that there are no storms in the sky, and people have good and bad luck.
However, if I have the heart to protect the country and kill the enemy, it is enough.
Lord Ding, the prince, not only must be able to lead the army to fight, but also participate in the action and experience the moment of life and death for himself.
In the future, we will not bring disaster to the country and the people, delay the fighter plane, and protect our Da Zhao.
This is a suicide note, so I annoyed Lord Ding to hand it over to my father. ”
Zhao Xingchen said with a resolute face, and handed the suicide note on the table to Ding Qiu.
"Well, I admire your courage and be careful in everything. Ding Qiu nodded, took the suicide note and said, "I hope I will never need it." ”
"The Eighth Prince can still charge and kill the enemy regardless of his safety, I, Qiao Feng, am also from Zhao State, Eighth Prince, let me go with you." Qiao Feng came in and said.
"Qiao Daxia, the Eighth Prince will be handed over to you. Ding Qiu said.
"People are here, people die and I die, rest assured. Qiao Feng said with a heroic face.
At night, the horns sounded in unison, the war drums shook the earth, and Zhao Gang rushed to Yangguan with the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the Black Cavalry Army and a group of elite soldiers.
This time it was Zhao Chong, and suddenly, the smoke of gunpowder rose everywhere, and the battle was fierce, and Zhao Xingchen took Qiao Feng and the others to climb the wall directly from the right side.
