Chapter 431: A Bamboo, Climbing the City Wall

The more than 50,000 rebels who were besieged between the Golden Ring Pass and the Silver Ring Pass spent a night of trembling, and He Baliang did not sleep for another night. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info He Baliang, who was ordered to be in danger, learned that all the artillery and grain and grass had been pocketed by the Heavenly Court Army, and he didn't have much confidence in holding on until the reinforcements arrived. When they went out to find water, the soldiers came back and reported that there was no water source in the valley for nearly ten miles, and Hebali was completely disappointed, and he could not eat horse meat without food, and he could not hold out for three days without water.

"How can there be no water in the valley? Huang Lai'er's hideous appearance made even He Baliang believe that he would drink human blood when he was thirsty.

The hard work paid off, and with the efforts of the soldiers, the water source was really found, in a waste mine hole.

Huang Lai'er and He Baliang rushed to the abandoned mine cave, and Huang Lai'er slapped the soldiers who came to report the good news to the ground.

"I'll grass your grandma, tick and tick these few drops of urine, enough for you to drink or enough for me to drink. ”

Huang Lai'er was like a madman, and he wanted to beat the soldier, but he was stopped by He Baliang.

"King Chuang, relying on the rations carried by the soldiers, we still have three days, as long as we can capture the Silver Ring Pass, we still have a chance. ”

"Why don't you attack the Golden Ring Pass?" Mi Zhong asked puzzledly, could it be that He Baliang lost his sense of direction.

"The Heavenly Court Army has gone to great lengths to lead us into the valley, and in order to achieve their goal of annihilating us, they will definitely have heavy troops to defend them at Jinhuan Pass, in case we escape and ascend to heaven. I don't know if King Chuang has noticed, the flame barrier is built on the nine passes on the pass, the main function is to prevent the miners from escaping, the west wall is five or six zhang higher than the east, we don't have the ladder to attack the city, it is too difficult to take the Golden Ring Pass. If we unexpectedly unleash an all-out blow at the Silver Ring Pass, we may still have miraculous results. ”

The generals on the side agreed with this analysis.

"It's come to this, that's the only way to go, Vice Admiral He, you just let it go! I will personally cheer for you. Huang Lai'er patted He Baliang's shoulder and made a wish: "This time Vice General He can help me get out of danger, I will definitely recommend you to Secretary Mi Da as a second-class mighty general, and I will never break my ......word."

"King Chuang, don't say anything, He is willing to fight hard. ”

In order to capture the Yinhuan Pass before the whole army cut off the water, Heba and the two quickly transferred all the elite troops to the front of the Yinhuan Pass. At noon, before He Baliang gave the order to attack Yinhuan Pass, the troops responsible for the defense of the east sent an alarm signal.

He Baliang rushed to the Golden Ring Pass. Zhao Bangou led hundreds of people to shout and curse for half an hour, and the Mi Zhong troops who were hiding on the mountains on both sides of the road were like he barked, and no one paid attention to him. The weather was very strange these two days, and the valley was a little hot and humid under the sun.

Zhao Bangou, who was bare-chested and exposed, was a little bored, and when he saw that Lai Yijun was the young general who almost killed him that day, he raised his hand to block the dazzling light of the crescent shovel, and said with a smile: "Young man, I see that it is really not easy for you to practice martial arts, let's not start fighting as soon as we meet, can you listen to me first?"

"Uncle, the younger generation has something unclear, can I ask one or two?" He Baliang's tutor is very strict, although the uncle in front of him is vulgar, but seeing Zhao Bangou smiling like a chrysanthemum blooming on his face, he shoveled the crescent moon to the ground and said with a pestle.

"Please!"

Zhao Bangou pulled his clothes and covered his stomach, everyone else called him uncle, he always had to look like an elder.

"Where are the troops you are hiding in the Jinhuan Pass?" He Baliang once took a careful turn around the Jinhuan Pass, but did not find anything suspicious, and the peaks on both sides of the Jinhuan Pass were as thin as knife blades, and it seemed that there were no tens of thousands of horses in ambush. In such a short period of time, tens of thousands of horses came out of thin air to cut off their own back roads, and He Baliang was puzzled.

"In the cave, there are several abandoned mine caves in the Golden Ring Pass, and the inside is very spacious. Zhao Bangou replied without hesitation.

"I was careless, thank you uncle for telling me bluntly. ”

"Young man, do you know who you're working for?" asked Zhao Bangou.

"If Uncle hadn't been incompetent that day, he wouldn't have been able to defeat my crescent shovel, does Uncle really think that you can trap us with tens of thousands of horses? ”

Zhao Bangou couldn't smile bitterly, he originally wanted to fight for this heroic young man to change his ways, but he didn't expect to be blocked by his uncle and speechless.

"Young man, time will prove that you are very wrong, it's just that everyone has their own ambitions, and you can't force it. Can you tell me what's your name?"

"Uncle, my name is He Baliang, the weather is hot and humid, we can't waste our physical strength in vain, please go back!"

Zhao Bangou untied the water bladder hanging on the horse's neck, threw it to He Baliang, and said: "Baliang, my name is Zhao Bangou, there is a shortage of water in the valley, this water bladder should be regarded as a gift from me to you!

Zhao Bangou pulled the reins, turned the horse's head on the spot and galloped away......

"Adjutant General He, you are gone, what should we do if that big belly comes again? Can you return our main battalion to us?" Several generals in charge of the defense of the east side have a lot higher ranks than He Baliang, but they can't care about face at the moment of life and death.

"The main battalion is going to attack the Silver Ring Pass, and it is impossible to transfer it back. The Heavenly Court Army knows that we are short of water, so they should not go out of the customs and fight with us, as long as you hold both sides of the passage, they can't help us for the time being. If you're still not sure, there's a way to give it a try. ”

"Please give me advice. ”

"You block the road with big stones!" Heba didn't go back.

At sunset, the battle of the attack on the Silver Ring Pass organized by the Heba Liang was about to begin. Huang Lai'er stood on a big stone on the side of the road, brandished his saber and said: "Brothers, if we can't conquer the Silver Ring Pass, we will have two ends, one is because of lack of water and food, starvation and thirst, and the other is that it falls into the hands of the miners, and it is better to become a mining slave than a cow or horse, are you willing?"

"I don't want to! I don't want to ......"

Hearing the screams of the soldiers, Huang Lai'er was very satisfied, and he announced: "The first one to attack the Yinhuan Pass, the official will be promoted to the third rank, and the reward will be 100 taels of gold.

"Got itβ€”β€”!"

"Trumpet, attack!"

Although He Baliang has no actual combat experience in attacking the city, he was born in a military family, and he has listened to stories about fighting since he was a child, and he also played a game of war with his friends. Therefore, He Baliang's command of the battle is also decent.

Stepping on the drumbeat, the five battalions of shield soldiers covered the five battalions of arrow crossbowmen, and cautiously drove to a distance of one arrow from the Silver Ring Pass, and the team was divided into two to occupy the left and right. More than a hundred bed crossbows were also pushed up under the cover of a battalion of shield men and stopped in the middle.

"Kill, β€”β€”!" thousands of soldiers each rushed towards the Silver Ring Pass with a large bundle of dry firewood.

Mo Bao was born as a dead soldier defending the city, and he knew every attack method well, so he turned his head and shouted to the several commanders of the five circles of soldiers beside him: "Tell me to go down and prepare a wet cloth for each person." Crossbowmen, stones ready to β€”β€”!"

Several battalion commanders of the five circles couldn't understand why the enemy rushed up with firewood, and after hearing Mo Bao's order, they ran down the city wall and prepared to go.

At a distance of less than 100 zhang, the first wave of attacking soldiers rushed to a place less than four or five zhang of the wall in the blink of an eye, "smashing β€”β€”!"

Mo Bao shouted, picked up a large stone weighing four or five hundred catties, and threw it from the top of the Yinhuan Gate. Countless stones fell...... The soldiers holding dry firewood were on guard against arrows and crossbows, and they all used firewood to protect their heads, but they did not expect that there was a rain of stones and many were knocked down.

"Shoot the β€”β€”!"

At the moment when the defenders of the Silver Ring Pass appeared, He Baliang, who was hiding among the shield soldiers, suddenly stood up, a sharp arrow broke through the air, and a soldier holding a stone high fell to the sky. With the cover of the crossbowmen, the soldiers holding dry firewood soon ignited a fire under the silver ring pass.

More than 500 soldiers holding wet firewood also rushed up and pressed the green firewood on the dry firewood, and the fire suddenly came out with billowing smoke, and the entire Yinhuanguan was shrouded in choking smoke.

Even more fierce in the battle took place at the cast-iron gate, and the soldiers holding dry firewood rushed several times and were shot back by a dense rain of arrows, and countless casualties were killed and wounded in the passage.

"Follow me!"

He Baliang beckoned back, hundreds of people rushed forward with a door panel made of thick dead tree poles, He Baliang flexibly drilled under the "door panel", shouted and walked like flying, and soon rushed to the city wall, several hundreds of pounds of stones fell down, fell on the door panel and bounced away.

The door panel was quickly erected and rushed into the passage where the silver ring was closed, and many soldiers with dry wood followed the door panel and rushed in, and soon a raging fire broke out in the passage.

"You must promise not to let the fire go out, burn the iron gate, we will succeed, do you hear?" He Baliang yelled at the soldiers hiding in the passage, flashed out of the passage and ran back, the thick smoke helped He Baliang a lot, and he ran back unscathed.

"The first climbers are ready!"

The climbers in groups of five, four in the back and one in front, carrying a long-haired bamboo, had long been waiting behind the crossbowmen.

"The crossbowmen took forty steps forward! He Baliang deployed his troops in an orderly manner, and made a group of generals hiding behind trees look stupid, they didn't expect the young Heba two lieutenants to be able to fight the battle so ornamentally.

"The first group to climb the city β€”β€”!"

The brave action of He Baliang just now gave a great encouragement to the city climbers, and with the order of He Baliang, a thousand groups of city climbers ran up slowly, and when they were still more than ten zhang away from the city wall, their speed became faster and faster.

The generals who watched the battle, including Huang Lai'er, all walked out from behind the big trees, and they had never seen a single bamboo that could send soldiers up the city wall several feet high.

When a thousand soldiers were pushed by four thousand soldiers, their legs were desperately moving like groundhogs on the city wall, and their bodies were rising higher and higher, Huang Lai'er, who was moved, burst into tears.

"Drumming, drumming......" Huang Lai'er's throat was hoarse after shouting twice due to nervousness.

In the thick smoke, a thousand enemies suddenly appeared from under the city wall, and everyone except Mo Bao was startled.

"Kill!"

The stone in Mo Leopard's hand smashed on the top of the head of a soldier who "showed his sharp horns in a small lotus", bent down and picked up a spear that was lying horizontally at his feet, and killed all the way.

"The second batch of people who are in the city are in handβ€”β€”! and the third batch is ready to β€”β€”!"

He Baliang didn't expect that the local methods recorded by the ancestors in the book were really effective, he suppressed his excitement, and constantly urged the following groups of city climbers to rush forward.
