Chapter 5: Hold on to Bozhou

The Red Turban Army strictly guarded the city and did not make an appointment to fight, and before noon, the Yuan soldiers attacked the city on all sides. Da Kui looked at the city wall, the Yuan soldiers were crowded, and the forward was a huge hammer car, with a hundred and ten people pushing the guard. The rest of the soldiers were like ants moving away, and they rushed towards the city wall with ladders on their shoulders. When the Yuan soldiers rushed to the city less than a stone's throw away, the city general gave an order to "release the arrows", and a rain of arrows sprinkled down the city, and the Yuan soldiers suffered countless casualties in a moment.

The Yuan soldiers rushed close and set up a cloud ladder to climb to the city, and when they were about to climb to the top of the city, the city threw rolling wood and stones, and for a time the Yuan soldiers wailed like dumplings and fell down the city.

At this time, I saw two teams of cavalry of more than 10,000 people rushing towards the city wall, and before they reached the city, they went around the city wall for a half circle.

Immediately, the cavalry opened their bows and arrows while circling around, trying to suppress the Red Turban Army in the city and cover the siege team to climb up the city. These cavalrymen were very skilled in riding and archery, and they also had strong bows. From time to time, on the city wall, red turban soldiers were shot and arrows fell under the city.

Da Kui stood on the city wall and held a long pole and scratched the hook, and when he saw a ladder on the wall, he lifted the hook down the city. A few times I was almost injured by a feather arrow, and I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. At this time, more than 20 zhang away from the left side of Da Kui, there were Yuan soldiers attacking the city. The red turban soldiers who defended the city there suddenly fought with the Yuan soldiers, and Da Kui saw it, dropped the hook, pulled out his saber, and rushed forward.

The general who was responsible for supervising this area had died in battle, and when Da Kui arrived, the red turban soldiers saw that it was a partial general, and they suddenly felt confident, and everyone shouted in unison and fought hard. Da Kui doesn't know how to use a knife, it's just that he saw Yuan Bing wielding a knife and chopping indiscriminately, although there is no order, it is also very powerful.

In a moment, more than a dozen soldiers who attacked the city wall here were put to the ground by the red turban soldiers.

The soldiers under the city were still rushing forward and climbing the city wall, and the red turban righteous soldiers resisted vigorously. Da Kui saw that the long knife in the hand of a red turban soldier had been broken, and he was still fighting for his life with several knife wounds, and finally desperately hugged a Yuan soldier and fell off the city wall. All the red scarves are full of enthusiasm, and they would rather lose their lives than lose an inch of the city wall.

At this time, the horn sounded in the Yuan soldiers' camp. The sound of the trumpet came from afar, and the soldiers who were fighting for their lives to enter the city actually retreated. Another group of 20,000 Yuan soldiers set up a position two arrows away from the city. After a short time, a group of civilians were escorted out from the rear of the Yuan soldiers' phalanx, which was 3,000 people. The Yuan soldiers drove these people towards the city wall, and these were the people in the villages and towns near the left of Bozhou.

The soldiers dispersed the people and ordered them to crouch on the ground, and then the horns sounded again, and the soldiers of the two phalanxes shouted and charged the city wall again like a tide. The Red Turban Army in the city was full of righteous indignation, and they were indeed helpless, so they only waited for the Yuan soldiers to approach the city and fight hand-to-hand.

As a result, the Yuan soldiers did not have the threat of feather arrows at the head of the city, and the casualties were greatly reduced. One by one, they rushed to the city wall with a cry of wolves, and climbed up the ladder to the top of the city. Rolling wood and stones fell down on the city like rain, but it still could not reduce the offensive of the Yuan soldiers. When the siege was in full swing, oil was poured on the city.

The soldiers who climbed the city burned to death, and then a few torches were thrown on the city, and for a time the city walls and the city walls became a sea of fire and hell. From time to time, a fire man ran out of the sea of fire, and after only a few steps, he fell down, and a large number of Yuan soldiers under the city wall were burned to death in the sea of fire.

Da Kui saw that the Yuan soldiers were temporarily retreating, and then looked at the soldiers of the Red Turban Army around him with exhaustion written on their faces. I thought that the Yuan soldiers would attack again when the fire was extinguished, and the defenders of the city were only more than 5,000 people. I wondered why? There were nearly 100,000 Red Turban troops in the city, so why were there so few soldiers defending the city. While thinking about it, a messenger ran up the city ladder and saw Da Kui arching his hand: "General Zhang, the marshal has asked General Zhang to go to the Chinese army to discuss matters quickly." ”

Da Kui said: "I'll go now." "Get out of the city and go straight to the meeting hall of the Chinese army.

Liu Futong was discussing the military plane with several generals at this time, and when he saw Da Kui coming, he said, "General Zhang came just in time." ”

Da Kui asked, "What is the marshal looking for me?"

Liu Futong looked Da Kui up and down and asked, "Can the Yuan soldiers retreat?"

Da Kui returned: "Retreated, I wondered if they were waiting for the fire to go out before attacking the city, now there are too few defenders in the city, I'm afraid I can't hold it." Come and talk to the marshal, should you add more soldiers. ”

Liu Futong smiled and said, "No need, there is something important to call you here this time." After a pause, he said: "Now that the Yuan soldiers have not attacked the city again, you immediately ride your red horse, go out of the north gate and go around the city and then enter through the north gate. ”

Da Kui didn't think much about it and turned to leave. Liu Fu channel: "Wait, take my waist card." Otherwise, you won't be able to get out of the city. As he spoke, he took off his waist card and handed it to Da Kui, who took the waist card and went out.

When Zhang Kai heard what he said, he waited for Da Kui to leave and asked, "What does this mean by the marshal? Isn't General Zhang going to die?"

Liu Fu channel: "Fei Ye, do you know whose horse his horse is?" Zhang Kai replied, Liu Fu channel: "This horse is the beloved mount of Badulu, called Chiyun Chasing the Wind." Answer: Badulu is regarded as a treasure, and General Zhang will not be captured unless he is captured, but he will never worry about his life. ”

After a while, he said: "If you lose the answer, Badulu will send someone to take it if he knows that his BMW appears, and if it is not feasible, he will come to take it in person." That's when the turning point comes in. ”

Zhang Kai asked, "What if the general is captured?" ”

Liu Futong stroked his hair and said with a smile: "This red cloud chasing the wind is extremely fast, and it can travel thousands of miles a day, who among the Yuan soldiers can stop it? Even if there is a problem with the horse, General Zhang still has a stunt, so I don't have to worry about it." ”

Zhang Kai asked curiously, "What kind of stunt?"

Liu Futong said with a smile: "He runs faster than Chiyun chasing the wind." Zhang Kai was dumbfounded, thinking to himself that there are people in this world who can run faster than horses?

Da Kui walked out of the hall of the Chinese army and went straight to his camp tent, carrying a cloth bag and carrying a flat shoulder out of the camp tent and going to the stable. At this time, Hongyun was lying on the hay leisurely, and when he saw Da Kui, he stood up and snorted. Da Kui walked over and stroked the horse's head and said, "Hongyun, you eat and drink here every day, there are people waiting for you, don't be fat and can't run, I'll go out of the city with you for a lap." So saying, he unreined the horse from the stake, took the red cloud out, went outside, and picked up more than a hundred stones from the ground and put them in a cloth bag.

Da Kui turned over and rode straight to the north gate. When he arrived at the city gate, he showed his waist card and said: "I have been ordered to go out of the city, open the city gate quickly." ”

The general guarding the city took the waist card and carefully inspected it, and only after confirming that it was correct did he say to the soldiers guarding the gate: "Open the city gate." He turned his head and asked Da Kui: "The Yuan soldiers are attacking the city, but why did General Zhang go out of the city?"

Da Kui said: "I don't know, the marshal ordered." When I get out, you close the door and wait for me to come back. ”

The general said: "Okay, General Zhang be careful. ”
