Chapter 66 Transport
On November 20, the twelfth year of the industry, at noon, under the city of Dongyang County, Zhang Xuanjiu stood on the horse's head, looked back at the generals and said: "Dongyang County is the county seat in the end, and it has been prepared, and it seems that it still needs a bloody battle." Whole \ Ben // Small \ Say // Net "
As for the county seat, in such a war of tens of thousands, it basically has little effect, and it is a matter of course that it will be peaceful in one day, or it will surrender without even fighting.
The generals also nodded their heads, but Lin Baohu and Miao Haichao glanced at each other, stepped forward and said: "The last general has surrendered to the lord, and he has not yet made a single achievement, and I ask the lord to allow me to step forward as a pioneer." ”
These two people are both brave and good at fighting, especially Miao Haichao, otherwise it would be impossible to turn to the world, now both of them are generals of thousands of people, and they both want to work hard to show their loyalty, and they are promoted to the rank of lord, and they hurriedly ask for their lives at the moment.
Zhang Xuanning was overjoyed and said: "Okay, the two generals are loyal and brave, and I will not be stingy with rewards." ”
Back in the army, Zhang Xuanning was in the core of the middle formation, the army was at its peak, Zhang Xuanning's army wearing paper armor, the direct combatants were 30,000, and the servants were 10,000, so there were 40,000 people, and the entire city was surrounded.
The Chinese army is spread on a hill outside the city, and the core personnel are 800 cavalry and 1,000 armor soldiers, this is Zhang Xuanning's guard, and there are 10,000 troops outside.
Zhang Xuanning didn't say much, and directly ordered: "Zhou Feng led the headquarters of 5,000 to attack the east gate, Feng Yuanding led the headquarters of 5,000 to attack the west gate, Ding Xingbang led the headquarters of 5,000 to attack the north gate, and the marshal attacked the south gate in the center. The first person to climb the city gate will be the first, promoted to one level, and rewarded with fifty taels of silver. Those who dare to retreat, the rear team will cut the front team, the soldiers will retreat, the captain will be killed, the captain will be retired, and the general will be killed. The general retreats, and I will kill him. ”
The reason why it is so harsh is because he knows that once he drags on for a long time, he will delay the fighter, and if he really gives the drill master and Lin Shihong a chance to buffer and gain a foothold, he may have to entangle with him in the south for a year or two, like this. and he shall lose the world.
Therefore, between the words, the voice was fierce, and with the order, the war drums suddenly sounded.
The generals were awe-inspiring, and when they were not long, each formation moved to its own position, and each sent someone to announce the completion. 40,000 people shouted in unison and attacked together.
Trebuchets, carts, ladders, and wooden chariots, all in hundreds. Boom.
With the support of Yang Gong's treasure, a large amount of manpower was aroused, tools were made, and savings were made, at this moment.
Although this kind of abuse of people's power is close to exhausting the water, it is still necessary to do it in order to win the fighters, but as long as the number of counties is taken in a row, the manpower and material resources will be balanced.
Competing for world dominance lies in the opportunity. Such as going upstream.
In the shouting, hundreds of boulders bounced up by trebuchets on the top of the wall that were a mile long were rained down on the county town, and for a while, the city was screaming, extremely miserable.
The siege began in earnest.
Suddenly, the sword light and sword shadow, shouting and killing.
The soldiers above knocked down the large boulders that had been accumulated. Smashed from under the wall of more than ten meters, except that the collision can be slightly blocked. Shields and the like can't resist at all, and once they are hit, they immediately fly flesh and blood.
For a time, the first batch of soldiers who attacked were killed and wounded, and the screams were endless, and behind the big stones and rolling logs, there were a large number of shields and a large rain of arrows, which poured down.
Zhang Xuanning said coldly: "Don't pause, it is impossible for the county to prepare many large stones and giant trees, the arrow tower pushes forward, and the archers go up to shoot at it." ”
This kind of arrow tower, only 28 cars were made, the other three gates were each allocated six, more than 10 meters high, with a thick wooden board to block arrows, each arrow tower can have ten archers, as long as they reach the appropriate distance, they will send arrows to the city, kill and injure the defenders on the city, cover the attack of others.
Suddenly, with an order, the ten arrow tower carts of the Chinese army began to advance, quickly moved to a distance of twenty meters near the city gate, which was a distance that the boulder rolling wood on the wall could not reach, and then began to shoot continuously.
Suddenly, a hundred archers began to block the space near the gate, and the soldiers also fell.
The military order is like a mountain, and the soldiers who have been trained after training, regardless of the overwhelming flying stones and strong arrows, and ignore the painful cries of their injured comrades around them, just desperately stepped forward, set up a ladder and attacked forward, one person in front fell, and two people immediately made up for it in the back. Its offensive was almost like a wave.
There was no time for the battle, inside and outside the city, where the rockets were raised, dozens of thick puffs of smoke rose up, although there was a blockade of the arrow tower, Zhang Jun sacrificed his life to attack, and even climbed the city wall many times, but the county soldiers were the Great Wall of flesh and blood, and they resisted stubbornly.
After a long battle, the sun was setting, Miao Haichao's face was pale, his 1,000 troops had been killed and wounded nearly half of them under repeated attacks, and he was ruthless at the moment, wearing heavy armor, holding a long knife, and personally climbed a ladder and climbed up.
The surrounding arrow towers suddenly understood, and fired again and again, intending to clear the enemy archers in this area, but although the enemy archers were hit by arrows and fell over, screaming loudly, there were still scattered people and so on, and they fired at Miao Haichao who was climbing, and Miao Haichao was loud
The sonic boom shook the audience, and the knife was raised.
Although he counted arrows in a row, he still had a few arrows in his body, but the armor was on his body, so he was not deep in the middle, and he saw him quickly and quickly, rushing straight up, and his own soldiers behind him were even more willing to forget to die, and followed up.
In the blink of an eye, he rushed forward, and as far as the sword light reached, several soldiers on the wall fell down, and Miao Haichao suddenly turned over.
At this moment, tens of thousands of people in the city cheered together, which made people deafening.
When Miao Haichao's long knife arrived, he beheaded people when he saw them, and there was no general under him, and his own soldiers flocked up.
At this moment, there was a regular and rhythmic sound from the city, which was a kind of war drum, and with the war drum, a group of enemy troops swarmed up, and suddenly, Miao Haichao's location was surrounded.
"The enemy is in reserve. Zhang Xuanning said coldly, his eyes looked forward without flashing.
In front of the city fighting, flesh and blood flying, everything, regardless of power, wealth, beauty, at this moment, has disappeared, there is only the naked blade and life and death, and I can't help but feel pride in my heart. I want to step forward, be in it, and experience the most intense realm of life and death.
But in the blink of an eye, he smiled dumbly, he actually had such a thought, he had been in this world for almost four years, and he finally integrated into this world, with the consciousness of a warrior, not just that kind of security ist.
But. Even in this world, as the monarch, he shouldn't go into battle in person, but he saw Miao Haichao like a fierce tiger, rushing back and forth in the enemy's sword sea, the enemy fell to death, and blood spurted straight into the air, and at this time, there were only dozens of personal soldiers left around him.
Miao Haichao fought to the end. Seeing more and more people, and knowing that it was not good, he had to retreat, and the surrounding soldiers desperately stepped forward to gain life for the lord, Miao Haichao jumped off the city wall, and was about to fall down a little on the ladder, and suddenly, a spear broke through the air. Straight down like lightning.
It is obviously the attack of the master of the county.
Everyone who saw it held their breath for a moment, but they saw Miao Haichao shouting in the air, and he rolled in the air, but he still fell to the ground.
Zhang Xuanning breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, it is impossible to order Miao Haichao to come down, because once the order is given, the entire offensive will be interrupted, and it will give the county soldiers a chance to breathe, and now he can come down by himself, which is a great luck, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and he will not be stupid enough to blame him.
"Continue to attack, come forward in batches, and don't have any stagnation!" Zhang Xuanning ordered.
The already tired group retreated. Retreat back and let the new forces make a new wave of powerful offensives.
At this time, inside and outside the city wall, there were already corpses all over the ground, and in the past few hours, the tragic siege battle has caused thousands of casualties.
Only when you are there is it that you know that this phenomenon is extremely tragic, in fact. In a siege battle of this scale, 2,000 casualties a day is remarkable. The siege of the city is almost half a month, or even a few months.
In this situation, it can only be said that Zhang Xuanning's army has undergone strict training and has gone forward one after another under military orders, and the county soldiers are extremely tenacious, so they can appear.
At sunset on the hill, the vast city fires are dotted with boundless light.
War drums and horns sounded in unison, horses' hooves and wheels resounded throughout the world, and the siege battle continued.
Li Chunfeng, who was with the army, did not speak, until this time, he said in a deep voice: "The situation in Dongyang County is very abnormal, under normal circumstances, the county army has no such resistance, I suspect that it happened to meet the elite of the Sui army and came here, so there is such a tough battle to fight." ”
At that moment, a strong wind blew in the night, and everyone was blown in their clothes.
Zhang Xuanning looked up at the sky, only to see the dark clouds hurrying away, and said slowly: "I also think so, we expand the three counties in a row, the imperial court can not react, although Jiangdu County to Huiji County, isolated, but the imperial court will also take a detour to dispatch troops to surround me, not to mention encirclement and annihilation, at least we will attack me first, so that I can no longer expand, and now we just met." ”
After a pause, he sneered and said: "I have a feeling that there will be heavy rain later, although there will be very little winter rain, but there will definitely be tonight, and if I retreat, not only will the attack on Dongyang County be wasted, but it may even be very likely to suffer a heavy loss." ”
Li Chunfeng's body shook and looked at the night sky: "What does the Lord Commons mean?"
"The enemy has reinforcements. ”
Before the words could be spoken, the bean-sized raindrops came from the beginning, from sparse to dense, and soon turned into heavy rain, tens of thousands of torches, most of them were extinguished, only some torches were still lit in the protected area, Zhang Xuanning sneered and said: "Continue to attack, we can't see it, and they can't see it!"
"My lord, it is not easy to fight at night, and besides, when it rains in winter, soldiers will get sick. Li Chunfeng had to remind.
"Hmph, transfer my cavalry of the Guards, responsible for guarding, no other army is allowed to approach within fifty miles, other armies, continue to attack with me, and my Chinese army will go up in person. Zhang Xuanning gritted his teeth and gave an order.
In the rain, the last group of 5,000 Chinese troops who had not yet fought rushed forward and launched a night battle.
The whole world was surrounded by raindrops, which seemed particularly violent and cold and unforgiving. Rain from Zhang Xuanning
Sprinkled, every hair, every bit of clothing, is dripping, cold to the heart
Fortunately, it was November, so it was not too cold, and fortunately this was in the south, and the temperature was different, if it was in the north, such a situation would not be able to continue the war at all.
Zhang Xuanning saw the last group of fresh troops rushing forward, expressionless, if even this group of troops could not break the city, he retreated overnight until Yongkang County, the closest county seat to Huiji County.
Because he has lost his combat effectiveness, the sequelae of the Winter Rain battle. It takes at least half a month to recuperate, and this is still the case of preparing all kinds of winter materials.
At this moment, all of a sudden, the sound of fighting at the south gate sounded, and suddenly, the south gate was opened.
"It's Yuan Bin, he finally made a move. ”
"Cavalry, follow me. Zhang Xuanning made a decision immediately and rode forward. At this time, the remaining three hundred horses immediately followed, and rushed straight to the city gate, how fast the horse was ridden, three hundred meters away, only two minutes.
When I arrived at the city gate, I saw that the battle at the city gate was really fierce, and there were corpses everywhere, and there were nearly seven or eight hundred people in the surrounding area. And in the middle of the desperate resistance, there were only a hundred people guarding the gate, and when they saw the cavalry rushing forward, they cheered repeatedly.
Zhang Xuanning stopped at the door, even at this time, he was still cautious and refused to enter, and three hundred relatives rushed in, and there was a sound of horses' hooves rushing. It shook the entire battlefield, and in an instant, it rushed through the enemy forces and penetrated out.
At this time, although the other armies were delayed because of the night, they also reacted at this time. Constantly pouring in in by hundreds, Zhang Xuanning suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced, and when he saw a large number of troops pouring into the city, he knew that the city had fallen, and he couldn't help laughing.
Sonic Boom City Gate.
As soon as the city gate was broken, there was chaos in the city, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers in the county collapsed, and the morale of the army collapsed. Zhang Jun killed wave after wave, and there was not much time, and even the other three doors were broken. The so-called collapse is what it is today.
At this time, everyone understands that the overall situation has been decided, so the county soldiers have a momentum of surrender, and there is not much time, and they are cleared at the south gate, and under the escort of heavy soldiers, Zhang Xuanning ascends the tower of the south gate.
"Command. Whoever dissolves his armor will be spared death!"
"Command. All the cavalry are out, pay attention to intercepting the remnants of the enemy, and do not let them abscond at night. ”
"Order, clear out the house at once, boil water, make ginger soup, treat the wounded, and prepare dry clothes and food. ”
"Order, my Guard, to immediately enter the strongest state of alert, ready to deal with foreign attacks at any time. ”
Li Chunfeng on the side listened, the first three orders were very normal, and the fourth order was really cautious, even if an army happened to come at this time, it would be useless to attack.
At this time, the winter rain was cold, the city was broken again, the county army had no will to fight, and after listening to Zhang Jun's persuasion, they really abandoned their armor and returned to obedience, only a few resisted, and continued to fight according to the strong point, but basically the entire county town was already in the hands of Zhang Jun.
At this time, the whole army must return to the army one by one, change clothes, drink ginger soup, and at the same time, it is necessary to send personnel to take stock of the captures, contain the prisoners, and redeploy the defense.
After only a while, a report came, saying that the enemy army had been discovered, Zhang Xuanning hurriedly stepped forward and found that there were about a thousand people outside, but all of them were cavalry.
At this time, there are many castle towers in the city with sheltered places, and there are many torches, reflecting the shimmering weapons and adding to the atmosphere of killing.
Seeing that the city had fallen, and that the battle in the city had basically subsided, coupled with more than 700 cavalry and 1,000 armored soldiers of the Guards, this army did not attack, and slowly retreated a hundred meters, and did not retreat.
Zhang Xuan stared at them and sneered, it was strange to say that after this army retreated, there was not much time, and the heavy rain slowly turned smaller, and there was not much time, and even the moon was revealed.
"If our army is half an hour late, or if there is no garrison, what will happen to the 1,000 cavalry camp?" Zhang Xuanning asked.
"Although our army has 30,000, they are all exhausted at this time, plus the casualties are about 6,000, although there is paper armor, and 4,000 soldiers can be recovered in the future, but at this time, it is no longer possible to fight, if this thousand cavalry breaks in, I am afraid that the whole army will collapse and the 30,000 army will collapse overnight. Li Chunfeng said solemnly, and then said to Zhang Xuanning: "If this city is still fighting, even if the Chinese army is garrisoned, it will suffer huge losses. ”
Zhang Xuanning laughed, and then said: "Let me find out the situation in the city as soon as possible, and then let me find out who this team is and how it came about." ”
"Yes, my lord!" Li Chunfeng responded.
At this moment, a general from the cavalry below stepped forward and shouted: "I am Luo Shixin, who are you? Qin Qiong in the city, has you taken it?" Hearing this, Zhang Xuanning was stunned for a moment.
