Chapter 1270: Find all kinds of reasons to shirk
Xu Shu looked at the towering Hanping City, and shouted at his 50,000 army to boost morale, what is the first to break through the city bounty of one hundred, capture one of the two Zhang Ren or Yan Yan can get a bounty of one hundred, and said a lot.
Most of the soldiers of Liu Beijun in Yizhou did not know that their opponents would have reinforcements coming, and they were all attracted by Xu Shu's various promises.
In order to stabilize morale, Xu Shu certainly would not announce such important news. But in order to prevent Pang De from suddenly killing, Xu Shu still quietly arranged a team of soldiers and horses to ambush.
"Break through Hanping, kill Zhang Ren and Yan Yan! 100 Gold Rewards! Xu Shu took out his sword and roared at Han Ping.
The vanguard of Liu Bei's army in Yizhou began to attack the city of Hanping.
"Brethren! Let Liu Bei's puppies see how powerful we are! Kill me hard! Yan Yan's voice was louder than anyone else's.
When the vanguard was advancing, a large number of archers of Liu Beijun's army had already been prepared, and a large number of feathered arrows were fired at Hanping City to cover the vanguard.
The defenders of Hanpyeong City quickly picked up their shields to protect themselves and their comrades.
The generals on Liu Beijun's side in Yizhou saw this situation and smiled one by one. As long as such a dense collection of feathered arrows and bows and arrows was maintained, it would be difficult for the defenders on the Hanping walls to fight back.
At the moment when the archers fired, Liu Beijun's vanguard immediately increased its speed and rushed towards Hanping City with murderous spirit.
Zhang Ren looked coldly at the approaching siege troops, and raised one hand gently. When the siege troops came to the land of a stone's throw, Zhang Ren suddenly made a downward pressure movement with his raised hand.
A large group of archers suddenly appeared on the walls of Hanping, holding bows and arrows that had been prepared long ago.
"Put! Put it hard! Zhang Ren shouted loudly.
The archers on the walls of Hanping quickly and unceremoniously shot the feathered arrows in their hands at the besieging troops. The density of feather arrows greatly exceeded Xu Shu's estimate, and it was like a plague of locusts, densely rushing towards the attacking Liu Beijun.
"Ahh A miserable scream rang out, all of which were sent by Liu Beijun's soldiers who were shot.
Zhuo Zhen and other generals of Liu Beijun all widened their eyes, how could the defenders' feather arrows be so dense, under the defense of such feather arrows, their casualties were very large.
Liu Beijun's archers were also not ambiguous, they also increased their feather arrow shooting speed, wanting to strengthen the cover of their comrades.
However, their feathered arrows were blocked by the defenders' shields, and they did not do much damage to the defenders.
Zhang Ren kept directing the archers to constantly counterattack, specifically calling for Liu Bei's siege troops who were trying to get closer. For a time, Liu Beijun's side suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, Xu Shu's troops are still sufficient, and such losses can still be afforded.
Zhang Ren was commanding the archers' counterattack against Liu Beijun, and Yan Yan was not idle, he began to arrange for the generals below to prepare for a fierce battle. All kinds of sasswood, fire oil and other defensive objects were quickly gathered.
Zhang Ren and Yan Yan locked the defense line before, and the benefits of concentrating troops were finally reflected. Even if Xu Shu completely surrounded Hanping City, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan could guarantee that Xu Shu would not be able to eat and walk around.
And this siege, Xu Shu gave a death order, and the siege troops all attacked our place. After carrying the dense rain of bows and arrows of the defenders, the besieging force finally reached the city walls. But before they could gain a foothold and move on to the next move, the defenders threw huge stones on their heads.
These are all conventional means of defense for the defenders in siege warfare.
As the attacker, Xu Shu is not very surprised. But that's not the case with others.
For example, Lei Tong and Yang Hong looked at it in shock. They could see that many soldiers' heads were directly smashed by stones, and their flesh and blood were blurred, how miserable it was.
Lei Tong and Yang Hong are not the kind of generals who sympathize with soldiers, they are worried about themselves. Why worry about yourself?
If this is not good for the siege later, what if Xu Shu asks them to come forward to attack the city?
Lei Tong and Yang Hong are both people who have survived countless battles, and they don't know how long it took to get to this point. They don't care if the soldiers live or die, as long as they have credit for them. But if you let them go straight on, they won't want to. Their lives are worth a lot of money, and they can't compare to those lowly soldiers.
They were really worried that Xu Shu would find that the siege was unfavorable, so let these generals personally go into battle to boost morale. Now they are beginning to think about how to shirk it later.
Indeed, Xu Shu saw that the first group of siege troops he sent out encountered stubborn resistance, and there were many casualties, if he did not continue to increase the number of troops, I am afraid that this wave of attacks may have no effect.
"General Lei and General Yang, the two of you will each lead your troops and horses to attack Hanping City on the left and right wings to disperse Hanping's forces." Xu Shu really thought of using the generals to go into battle in person to change the unfavorable situation.
And they arranged Lei Tong and Yang Hong. Do you think these two people are unlucky?
"Bitter!" Yang Hong said secretly.
Lei Tong took the lead and said: "Master Xu, now that our army has an advantage, why make a big move." The last general thought that General Yang Hong's bravery was abnormal, and he stepped forward alone, which was enough to make Zhang Ren and Yan Yan frightened! ”
"What!" Yang Hong's eyes widened, he didn't expect Lei Tong to push him out.
Zhuo Zhen and Wu Lan were even more shocked by Lei Tong's statement. Anyway, this is Xu Shu's first official order, so it doesn't seem good to openly refuse in disguise.
"General Yang, the last general has heard of General Yang's name for a long time, and it must have always been worthy of his name. General Yang can show his majesty. The last general will press General Yang on the formation! The compliments in Lei Tong's mouth kept spreading to Yang Hong.
"Lei Tong, you turtle son, did Lao Tzu dig your ancestral grave, or robbed your woman, you want to harm me like this!" Yang Hong scolded in his heart.
Speaking of which, Yang Hong didn't know that he had really snatched the woman of Lei Tong. But that was when the two of them were playing best in Chengdu, where they were jealous of a top-notch girl. Yang Hong threw down a lot of money at that time, so that Lei Tong, who was shy in his pocket, had to give up. Yang Hong is a person with a heart of flowers, and when he lifts his pants, he may forget who he slept with last night. For what happened in this kind of Fengyue place, Yang Hong simply forgot about it.
However, Lei Tong has been in his heart for a long time, and now he is looking for this opportunity to stab Yang Hong.
Yang Hong is not the kind of person who has to do it because of Lei Tong's few words, he found the beginning of the conversation in an instant, and said righteously: "General Lei, Yang has a small name. If you want to talk about bravery, how can Yang be compared with General Lei of Weizhen Yizhou. The two thieves Zhang and Yan were arrogant and domineering, and with Yang's strength, they really couldn't cause much trouble for them. It's better to let General Lei go out and show Zhang and Yan the two thieves your bravery. Yang believes that as long as General Lei comes out, Hanping City will be broken. ”
Lei Tong did the first year of junior high school, and Yang Hong will not forget the fifteenth. Lei Tong didn't expect Yang Hong to react so quickly, but he took him into an army.
General Yang was polite. Lei was so worried in front of General Yang. I also asked General Yang to put the overall situation first, and not to shirk. With me in the rear, you can play with peace of mind. Lei Tong said with a flattering face.
Yang Hong was as disgusting as eating a fly, how could this guy find himself? Are you there? With you and without me! He couldn't imagine that he had offended Lei Tong for the sake of temporary refreshment.
Anyway, the two of them said so much, but they didn't follow Xu Shu's orders.
Xu Shu's face slowly became gloomy. Can such a person be a military general? It's just a loss of face for a general.
Zhuo Zhen and Wu Lan were both thundered by the conversation between Lei Tong and Yang Hong, and these two people shirked it so much, it was clear that they didn't take Xu Shu in their eyes.
Even if Xu Shu is good-tempered, he can't stand it now, and said coldly: "Have you two said enough!" ”
Lei Tong and Yang Hong felt the coldness in Xu Shu's words, and closed their mouths very interestingly. But looking at their appearance, it seems that they are just unwilling to come forward.
If Hanping City was easy to fight, Lei Tong and Yang Hong would definitely not shirk it like this, and would even rush forward.
As soon as it was delayed, the offensive of the siege troops gradually became weaker, and if they did not increase their forces quickly, I am afraid that the previous achievements would be wasted.
"General Wu, please lead your troops to go immediately now, don't let the offensive weaken!" Xu Shu wanted to put Lei Tong and Yang Hong aside and stabilize the situation.
Wu Lan knew that Hanping City was not easy to fight, but he was not the kind of person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he stepped forward immediately with his own troops without any ambiguity.
People can really be angry with people than people. Wu Lan was so brave that she immediately compared Lei Tong and Yang Hong.
Zhuo Zhen shook his head secretly, even if after the victory in this battle, Lei Tong and Yang Hong might not have any chance of promotion. You can try to protect yourself in war, but if you don't listen to orders and stagnate, that's a big taboo.
Yang Hong and Lei Tong didn't think too much about it, they just wanted to protect themselves. And Lei Tong has an extra layer of meaning, and he secretly calculates Yang Hong.
With Wu Lan's addition, the offensive momentum of the siege force was replenished. The ladder carried by Liu Beijun's soldiers had already been erected on the wall of Hanping City. Even though Yan Yan kept instructing the soldiers to splash things such as sassaga wood and fire oil on Liu Beijun, Liu Beijun's soldiers still relied on the tactics of crowds and slowly rushed down the ladder to the city wall to kill.
At this time, if Liu Beijun had a few more troops to attack from other directions of Hanping City, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan's forces would have dispersed, and the casualties on Wu Lan's side would not have been as great as they are now.
Zhuo Yu stepped forward and said, "Master Xu, the last general requests to join the war!" ”
It was rare for someone to take the initiative to fight, Xu Shu was very pleased, and said loudly: "General Zhuo is righteous, you immediately lead the troops and horses of your headquarters to attack the enemy's right flank, and disperse the troops for General Wu Lan." ”
Zhuo Fake immediately led his soldiers and horses to rush towards Hanping's right flank.
Liu Beijun's actions were seen by Zhang Ren and Yan Yan. The two of them were not afraid of such an attack.
Before Zhuo Fake approached Hanping City, on the city wall where his attack direction was located, a large number of archers had already assembled, and at the same time fired a very dense number of feather arrows at Zhuo Fake.
Before they got close to the city wall, Zhuo Fake's department suffered a lot of casualties.
Seeing that Wu Lan and Zhuo Fei had lost a lot of troops because of the battle, Lei Tong and Yang Hong were even more glad of their choice just now. Otherwise, they would be the ones who have lost their troops now.
Obviously there are a large number of troops, but the attack is so weak. Xu Shu felt that his face couldn't be put down.
"Two generals, you immediately lead your troops and horses to participate!" Xu Shu ordered again.
And Lei Tong and Yang Hong don't want to send troops, and if they send troops now, it will be very unfavorable to them.
"Xu Junshi, the last general can see what General Wu and General Zhuo can do. Xu Junshi didn't wait and see, maybe Hanping City would be broken by them later. Lei Tong said respectfully.
"Xu Junshi, this Hanping City can't accommodate so many of our soldiers and horses to attack, if the last general participates, it may cause chaos to General Wu and General Zhuo." Yang Hong's reasons are even more sufficient, and he also takes into account his own friendly forces.
It's really a way to shirk.
Xu Shu already knew what these two people meant! It's just one word, greedy for life and afraid of death! What are pig teammates, Lei Tong and Yang Hong are!
"This is a military order! Are you disobeying military orders? Well?! "Xu Shu gave them a hard one directly.
Xu Shu's personal soldiers all listened to Lei Tong and Yang Hong's words just now. As soldiers, they hated such generals. Now they dare to find a reason to disobey the military order, and they look down on Lei Tong and Yang Hong even more.
Xu Shu made it clear that if Lei Tong and Yang Hong were still like this, they would have to be dealt with by military law. At this time, Xu Shu's personal soldiers slowly surrounded him, holding the hilt of the knife in his hand, waiting for Xu Shu's order.
Lei Tong and Yang Hong were instigated. A hero doesn't suffer immediate losses, and it's not okay to be soft.
"The last general will wait for the order!" Lei Tong and Yang Hong responded in a voiceless voice.
Xu Shu was angry when he looked at these two people, greedy for life and afraid of death to this point, and he didn't know how they managed to defend this position. If Liu Bei relies on such a military general in the future, let alone charging into battle, it would be good to be able to defend the place.
Lei Tong and Yang Hong received Xu Shu's military order and slowly walked towards Hanping City. It's really slow, very slow, as if in slow motion. Lei Tong and Yang Hong, the soldiers under them are almost the same virtue as them.
Xu Shu was not angry to death, this general is incompetent and tired to the death of the three armies, the ancients did not deceive me! But Xu Shu still couldn't help but not get mad, he still needed these people to take the lead in his strategy, and he must not be messed up because of Lei Tong and Yang Hong.
"After this battle, Lei Tong and Yang Hong must be disposed of! Definitely going to be disposed of. It's useless to keep it! Xu Shu said secretly.
Yang Hong and Lei Tong instantly entered Xu Shu's blacklist.
