Chapter 283: Killing Ju Yi
"Hurry! Rush to Yi County before dark, and the violators will be killed immediately!" Zhao Hu shouted vigorously, urging his subordinates to speed up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Yi County, belonging to Hejian, is the largest county in the north of Jizhou. Zhao Hu wanted to conquer Yi County in the shortest possible time, and taking Yi County was equivalent to taking the gateway to Hejian, and Hejian was the gateway to the north of Jizhou.
Zhao Hu's strategic conception proved to be successful. When the sky was just dark, Zhao Hu led 15,000 vanguard troops to the city of Yi County, because Yuan Ding was not prepared, and there were only more than 2,000 people stationed in Yi County.
The next day, leaving 5,000 men to garrison Yi County, Zhao Hu began a rapid march again, and his purpose this time was Hejian City, the capital of Hejian. Although Zhao Hu is not very good at politics, he also knows that in the process of this crusade against Yuan Ding, because of the alliance with Ugong Terulie, whoever gets the county first must be owned by whoever owns it, which is the iron law of the alliance. From a military point of view, the soldiers are very fast, and it is the easiest to take the lead when Yuan Ding has not yet reacted and the preparations for war have not yet been in place, and Zhao Hu decided to take advantage of this opportunity to take a county of Yuan Ding first.
Unlike the attack on Yi County, in Hejian, Zhao Hu unexpectedly encountered an opponent. Since falling out of favor in Yuan Ding's eyes, Ju Yi no longer has the power to enter Yuan Ding's core organization, but was sent to the river by Yuan Ding. Served as the position of Karuma Taimori. It was Yuan Ding who looked at him and was upset, so he sent him out of Yecheng and came to the remote river, so as not to be an eyesore in front of him.
Yuan Ding was an unintentional move, but he didn't expect this unintentional move to make Zhao Hu encounter a lot of trouble. Ju Yi was originally a famous general, who was good at training troops and arranging troops. The two elite first battalions and big spearmen under Yuan Ding were all trained by Ju Yi, if Xu Rong hadn't defeated Ju Yi one after another. made Yuan Ding lose face in front of all the princes. Yuan Ding was reluctant to send Ju Yi to Hejian to serve as the Taishou.
When Zhao Hu led the army to attack the city, Ju Yi came to the head of the city, commanded Ruoding, and methodically resisted Zhao Hu's onslaught. With a meager force of four thousand troops. Desperately blocked Zhao Hu's 10,000 army outside the city. As a result, Zhao Hu's troops failed to move forward for a day and a night, but instead left the corpses of nearly a thousand people under the city.
After a day and a night of fighting, Zhao Hu was already a little red-eyed. After being delayed by Ju Yi for so long, presumably Yuan Ding already knew about Yuan Qi's army, and he should be dispatching troops at this moment, at most two days, Yuan's reinforcements will come to Hejian City, and at that time, his surprise attack will be a complete failure.
In an unfavorable situation, Zhao Hu, who has always been calm, went crazy for a rare time. Turning over and jumping off the back of the little white dragon's horse, Zhao Hu shouted loudly: "Ballista, set up a red-clothed ballista!" Target, enemy city wall, open fire!"
In Zhao Hu's vanguard troops, Yuan Qi equipped them with ten red-clothed ballistas, and the number of ballistae was not much, because Yuan Qi did not expect Zhao Hu to launch a strong battle. Because the number of ballistas is not large, even if they are put into the battlefield, the effect they can get is minimal, but it will expose this secret weapon to the Yuan army, so Zhao Hu has never let the red-clothed ballista into battle. But as the attack could not be carried out for a long time for a day and a night, Zhao Hu was a little anxious, and finally moved the red-clothed ballista out.
With the appearance of the red-clothed ballista, the Yuan army on the head of the city, including Ju Yi, looked at the red-clothed ballista with some horror, they had never seen such a huge ballista, according to common sense, the larger the volume of the ballista, the greater the lethality it can produce, according to this logic, the power of the red-clothed ballista is probably beyond the limit that all Yuan Jun can imagine.
Ju Yi looked at the red-clothed ballista under the city with some dumbfounded, and muttered, "This is, a ballista? such a big ballista?" Soon, Ju Yi's question was answered. After Wang Yezi and Ma Jun's further transformation, the current red-clothed ballista has reached the terrifying two-gun and three-sword crossbow, that is to say, each red-clothed ballista can fire two javelin-sized crossbows and three sword-sized crossbows at the same time. When fifty powerful crossbows of different sizes shot out, the Yuan army at the head of the city all gasped, in the face of a battlefield killer weapon like a red-clothed ballista, who could not be surprised or despair?
A large number of Yuan soldiers were frightened, and they all squatted down with their heads in their hands, and hid behind the battlements of the city wall. "What's the panic! Those crossbows are not aimed at all!" Ju Yi's quiet voice sounded. Those Yuan Jun, who were hiding with their heads in their hands, pretended to stand up with courage after hearing Ju Yi's words, and found that those crossbows that seemed to be very powerful had all missed, and the fifty crossbow arrows were all shot at the bottom of the city wall in one-third without exception.
A burst of laughter erupted in Yuan Jun: "I'll go, the silver-like wax gun head is really useless." ”
"Haha, with this technology, no matter how good the ballista is, it can't exert its power. ”
"This is the rumored invincible Youzhou Army? It's too substandard......"
Facing the ridicule of the enemy troops at the head of the city, Zhao Hu was unmoved, and continued to give orders: "Target, in the middle of the city wall, open fire!"
In an instant, another fifty crossbows shot out, and with the sound of "grabbing", fifty crossbows hit the center of the city wall between the rivers, and each crossbow was deeply inserted into the middle of the city wall, bringing up a burst of rubble and sliding from the city wall to the ground.
This shot was different from just now, because it was the bottom of the city wall, which was the strongest part of the city wall, so the Yuan army on the head of the city didn't feel anything unusual, but when the target of the red-clothed ballista became the middle of the city wall, the huge force on the crossbow began to show, and the city wall was hit by fifty strong crossbows and produced a slight vibration, although it was slight, but it was still perceived by the Yuan army, feeling the vibration from under the feet, the Yuan army who was originally laughing loudly at the red-clothed ballista, the smile on his face instantly froze. From such a distance and such a thick wall, you can feel the impact of the crossbow. If this is shot directly at a person, will it still be alive?" "Target, the top of the city wall, open fire!" Zhao Hu continued to give the order. Fifty more powerful crossbows roared out, and in a sonorous and powerful penetration, they were accurately nailed to the top of the city wall. This shooting brought an even greater shock to Yuan Jun because of the proximity of the distance. Let them feel the penetrating power of the crossbow more clearly. There was even a javelin-shaped crossbow that shot through the battlements and pierced one of the Yuan soldiers who was hiding behind! Under the impact of fifty crossbows, the city head seemed to let out a groan of overwhelm. A large number of stones were crushed. Turned into debris and dropped under the city. There were many Yuan Jun who failed to gain a firm foothold in the violent tremors. fell to the ground, because of fright, Yuan Jun, who fell, was stunned and kept the posture of falling to the ground, and even forgot to get up again.
After the three rounds of crossbow shooting, Zhao Hu lifted his robe, took the gun and carried it diagonally on his back, and then pulled out the steel sword at his waist, and roared angrily: "The ballista shooter continues to shoot, return to the army in the sky, and rush to the city with a certain one!" The five thousand heavenly returning soldiers roared in unison, raised their heavy swords, and rushed out on foot with Zhao Hu.
In order to protect Zhao Hu and others from being shot by Yuan Jun's bow and arrows, the ballistaemen who were responsible for operating the red-clothed ballistas hurriedly added crossbow arrows to maintain the suppression of the city.
Ju Yi, who was forced by the crossbow to hide behind the city wall, heard the roar of the Heavenly Return Army in unison, and immediately realized that something was wrong. With Ju Yi's ability, he instantly judged that the previous three rounds of shooting were not Zhao Hu's adjustment of the shooting angle at all, but intentionally, the purpose was to set up a climbing path with a crossbow on the city wall between the rivers!
Under the deterrence of the red-clothed ballistas, the Yuan army did not dare to show their heads at all! But Ju Yi was a famous general after all, and after thinking a little, he immediately made a decision: "Everyone bends down to advance, reduces the area of force, gathers behind the battlements, and waits for them with swords and guns!" Ju Yi's idea is to defend the city wall, use the strong city wall to resist the crossbows of the red-clothed ballistas, and at the same time concentrate his forces, and wait for Zhao Hu and the others to climb up, and then cut them down with knives and guns.
After two more rounds of bombardment, more than 100 crossbows roared, and some of them were halberd-shaped crossbows that pierced through the city wall and pierced the Yuan soldiers hiding behind. However, after all, there were only a few crossbows that could penetrate the city wall, and after Yuan Jun let out dozens of screams and dropped dozens of corpses, there were no other losses. However, the terrifying shock that the crossbow could penetrate through the city wall still caused confusion among the Yuan soldiers, and most of the Yuan army's hands holding weapons had already begun to tremble.
Yuan Ding's method of governing the army is very strange, not in wartime, he will never let the regular army spread to various counties, lest someone encroach on his troops and disperse his military power. It is precisely because of Yuan Ding's idea that the soldiers in various counties and counties in Jizhou now have very limited combat effectiveness, and it is not bad to be able to hold the city, let alone go out of the city to meet the enemy.
Ju Yi looked at the frightened faces and trembling hands of his subordinate soldiers, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. The county soldiers are the county soldiers, if these 4,000 county soldiers are replaced by the first battalion or the big gunners he trained, not to mention 4,000, it is 2,000 people, Ju Yi is also capable of protecting the city, but now, he can only resign himself to fate.
Soon, the red-clothed ballistas under the city stopped firing, and Ju Yi knew that Zhao Hu and the others were already approaching the city. The Youzhou army was afraid that Zhao Hu would be injured by mistake, so they stopped shooting. Standing up suddenly, Ju Yi drew his sword in his hand, and shouted: "Soldiers, fight back!" Ju Yi's judgment of the timing was very accurate, but unfortunately, his subordinate county soldiers could not react in time, and one by one they still trembled their hands and cowered behind the city wall.
Ju Yi was furious, swung his sword and slashed a trembling soldier, and shouted angrily: "Stand up! Meet the enemy!" Under Ju Yi's shock, the Yuan soldiers got up one after another and aimed their weapons at the battlements. It's a pity that their reaction has been a step slower, and when they stood up, the figure of the Heavenly Return Army had already appeared outside the battlements!
Zhao Hu stepped on the crossbow body of the crossbow with a flick, jumped to the city wall with a flick, slashed down the long sword in his left hand like lightning, chopped the head of a Yuan army to the ground, copied it behind his back with his right hand, and held the sun-breaking spear in his hand again, and then danced with both hands with a gun and a sword, and smashed into the middle of the Yuan army like a tiger.
Zhao Hu's first arrival in the city immediately caused a lot of damage to Yuan Jun and attracted the attention of most of Yuan Jun. After Zhao Hu, the Tiangui Army took the opportunity to jump on the city, waved the horse chopping knife and killed the Yuan army, the elite of the Tiangui Army, at this moment was fully revealed, it was not at all that these Yuan army's county soldiers could resist, between every breath, at least two Yuan Jun, were ruthlessly cut off by the Tiangui army's horse chopping knife, and their heads fell to the ground, still with desperate horror.
Relying on Zhao Hu's bravery and the elite of the Tiangui Army, soon, the Yuan army at the head of the city was opened a big opening, allowing more Tiangui troops to calmly enter the city and join the ranks of the massacre.
In less than half an hour, most of the 4,000 Yuan troops were killed and wounded, and the remaining more than 1,000 people were completely frightened, and threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender. Ju Yi stood alone at the head of the city covered in blood, and under his sword, three Heavenly Returning soldiers had already died. With a deep sigh, Ju Yi stabbed at Zhao Hu with a sword, Zhao Hu shook the long sword in his hand and stabbed it into Ju Yi's throat, and a generation of famous generals returned to Huangquan.
