Chapter 740: Rush
Arrows roared up the wall and pierced through the chest of a Northern Zhou soldier.
"Kill!" Tang Zhong roared angrily, kicked the soldier off the wall, and then jumped off the wall himself, the sword flashed, splitting several Northern Zhou soldiers in front of him. And more soldiers followed him and climbed over the wall.
At the same time, a rushing car pushed forward amid the neat slogans of the soldiers, and slammed into the gate of the village, which was as fragile as a piece of tissue paper and staggered under the tremendous impact. There were still Northern Zhou crossbowmen barely shooting arrows down on the wall, but soon more arrows came at them, completely drowning them.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, the gate of the village was slammed open, and a team of Bashu soldiers roared angrily from both sides of the car towards the gate of the walled gate.
"Block, push the door knife cart up!" The generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty waved their arms, and the two Saimen knife carts tried to block the road of the rolling crowd, but soon the crowd rolled and forced the Saimen knife car to open the roof. The blade on the car pierced into the flesh and blood of the armor, making a dull sound, but the soldiers in front died, and the soldiers behind did not hesitate to come up, and layers of people surged, and anyone who tried to stop in front of them would be swallowed up by this tide!
The Bashu soldiers who rushed into the camp quickly followed the red banner that had been at the forefront along the road in the camp and spread out in all directions, and joined the Tang Zhong soldiers and horses who turned over from the wall of the camp, several soldiers and horses rushed left and right in the camp, and the Northern Zhou soldiers had obviously given up the fighting spirit of resistance and retreated.
"Don't fight, break through!" Tang Zhong flew into the middle of the two Northern Zhou soldiers, raised his knife and fell, forcing one of the soldiers to retreat, and at the same time slammed his shoulder to the side, knocking the other soldier to the ground, and before the Northern Zhou soldier came to his senses, a sharp blade had pierced his chest.
The Bashu soldiers crossed the corpses on the ground and continued to move forward.
"Hold the hay field!" A Northern Zhou general yelled hoarsely, and as if in response to his order, several spears almost stabbed head-on.
"Dangdangdang" There was a sound of gold and iron, and the Northern Zhou general saw that he was about to fall into the encirclement, and hurriedly retreated, and several soldiers hurriedly stepped up at this time, and the Northern Zhou sword and shield hands were already lined up behind the general.
Tang Zhong did not pause in his footsteps, and once again stepped out of the crowd, and his personal guards held high the flag in their hands and followed him closely.
"Shoot the arrows!" There was a sound of orders and arrows from the array of the Zhou people, and it was clear that when the outer wall was breached, the crossbowmen, who did not play much role in the chaotic battle, retreated to the edge of the forage field, just waiting for the enemy to rush up.
This forage field is the only place to store grain and grass on the south bank of the river, and its main task is to supply grain and grass to several small cities and camps on the south bank of the river. Because when Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi attacked Bashu before, a large number of soldiers and horses were dispatched, coupled with the difficulty of Shu Road and difficult transportation, so a large amount of grain and grass were hoarded in this small camp.
After that, Wei Xiaokuan raised troops to the north, and a large number of soldiers, horses and people were requisitioned, so these grains and grasses had no time to be transferred, so they could only be temporarily hoarded here. Although compared to those who have already been taken away by Wei Xiao, the rest is actually not too much, but at least for Xiao Shilian, who has just rushed out of Shu Dao, it is indispensable, and it can even solve the urgent need.
Otherwise, Xiao Shilian's army may have to face the problem of insufficient grain and grass in a short period of time. This can't blame Xiao Shilian for not being fully prepared, originally Xiao Shilian in order not to arouse the vigilance of Hanzhong, from the order to the dispatch of the troops, there was only one day, and the grain and grass were just ready, although nominally the soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first, but this grain and grass can almost be said to set off at the same time as the army.
The Shu Road is difficult, in order to be able to speed up the march, the forward and the Chinese army can almost be said to be non-stop, light troops are marching forward, and the grain and grass can only move forward little by little between the cliffs behind, Xiao Shilian of course can't stupidly wait for the grain and grass to catch up, so much time is enough for Li Xun to run over and block the Shu Road.
Therefore, he could only hope for the forage field in front of him, and this camp was bound to be obtained by him. Originally, it was normal for soldiers to obtain grain and grab grain and grass, and sometimes they mainly relied on the means to obtain grain and grass, so it was reasonable for Xiao Shilian to pin his hopes for the next few days on this forage field.
Even if Li Xinchen is here, I'm afraid I can't think of a more effective way.
Bashu is indeed one of the few places in the world that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is not so easy to get out of Bashu, and you have to pay a considerable price and bear a considerable risk. Li Xinchen let Xiao Shilian instead of the more stable Pei Zilie be the main general on the north side, I am afraid that he also has some considerations in this regard, what he needs is a sharp blade that can break through all obstacles in front of him and go straight to the north!
Because of the importance of this forage field, it is Wei Xiaokuan's descendants who are guarding here, and they are also one of the few soldiers and horses that Li Xun can directly command in Hanzhong. Li Xun divided these few soldiers and horses into two parts, one part was in Dingjun Mountain, and the other part was in this forage field, which shows how important this small camp is.
The arrows roared, and the unprepared Bashu soldiers fell down one after another, the banners rolled upside down, and the formation was a little disordered for a while. When they first stormed the walled gate, the establishment of the troops was actually in chaos, and the generals at all levels were all grasping the units they had in their hands and urging them to attack.
It's no wonder that they, the camp is breached, in fact, it is equivalent to the city gate being breached, even if the enemy still has the fighting spirit to resist, it is just a trapped beast fighting, at this time what needs to be done is to sweep the wind and clean up the battlefield, who can take care of the whole team?
Therefore, when the arrow smashed down on the head and face, there was a little panic in the team for a while, and many veterans were also confused, after all, they had never encountered such a situation before.
"Steady!" Tang Zhong only felt that the fire was about to reach his eyes, and he couldn't watch the army retreat like this.
Morale has always been the most important, once the attack fails, morale will be frustrated, plus the soldiers are from the Shu Road trek hard, already exhausted, there is hardly much chance to rest along the way, so they started the attack directly, it can be said that everyone is holding their breath in their hearts, just waiting to rest and eat after taking this camp.
But if you retreat now, then this last bit of sharpness will be defeated, and if you want to muster up the strength to attack again, I am afraid you will have to wait until a few hours, or even half a day, a day later.
Looking at the soldiers and horses who were retreating in a panic and the Northern Zhou sword and shield hands who were approaching step by step, Tang Zhong was also a little flustered for a while.
