Chapter 439: Counterattack

Rumble!

The dull sound of thunder, emanating from the thick clouds, poured raindrops, dense like weaving, like countless rain curtains, connecting the sky and the earth, regardless of each other.

It rains a lot in Bashu, but such heavy rains are not common, and puddles soon appear on the ground, and then converge into a stream of water, carrying dust and flowing downward.

The tiny river, fed by rainwater, turned into a raging python in the blink of an eye, and then developed into a yellow dragon, tumbling and roaring.

Ping'an, who was on the march, had to give the order to stop and let the whole army take shelter from the rain.

"My lord, let's eat some!"

Ping An took the jerky handed by his subordinates, tore hard, shredded meat like wood fibers, scraped his throat and esophagus, and everywhere he passed, there was a feeling of swallowing stones.

Although it is not delicious, it is the most nutritious baby, a general with troops will not depend on how tasted, all he needs to do is to maintain his physical strength, ready for the next battle, burst out of strength.

After Ping An defeated Xiang Yong in Xinjin, he decisively attacked Xu Huizu's men. Faced with Ping'an, who was still a subordinate a few days ago, Xu Huizu was so angry that he immediately divided the only 10,000 cavalry to attack Ping'an.

Xu Huizu's abacus is very shrewd, it is good to be able to eliminate Ping'an, even if he can't eliminate it, he can also drive Ping'an away, he can take Chengdu with absolute superiority, and at that time, Ping'an is a dead end.

Obviously the troops are not enough, and they dare to divide the troops, these anti-thieves are simply broken in their brains.

Ping An has a different view.

"Even if you stay in the city and stay in the lonely city, isn't it still the same as being crushed! It's better to jump out to find Xu Huizu's flaws! "This guy is quite similar to Zhu Di's tactics.

After chasing Liu Chun for a few days, Ping An began to have some experience in sports warfare.

He kept taking the officers and soldiers around in circles, and then kept dividing his troops to attack and harass, like a piece of kraft candy, so that they couldn't catch up and couldn't get rid of it.

Finally, in five days, the 10,000 cavalry was dragged down by him, and with a counterattack, this army was completely defeated by him, killing more than 3,000 people, capturing more than 5,000 people, and less than 2,000 people scattered everywhere.

The cavalry in Xu Huizu's hand was gone, so he just returned to Chengdu to attack Xu Huizu.

But at this moment, a heavy rain came suddenly.

The terrible thing is that the heavy rain is falling, and there is no intention of stopping, even if it weakens occasionally, it is still vast and unable to fight. He had to wait.

After a full day, the rain finally lightened.

Unlike in the north, heavy rain in the south is followed by light rain, and after light rain, it is drizzle, and it has to be delayed for a few days before it can be completely cleared.

"The rain stops and the fog rises, and the whole army attacks!" Ping An said to his subordinates: "Remember, this battle will be won!" ”

The generals nodded vigorously.

At this moment, a young man ran over, and he was one of Liu Chun's disciples.

"Meet General Ping'an and tell the general the good news that after our persuasion, there are more than 3,000 prisoners who are willing to follow the general and fight back together!"

"What?" Ping An was shocked, "It's only been a little more than a day, and they surrendered?" ”

The young man smiled implicitly, full of confidence.

One of Ping'an's subordinates couldn't help but say, "General, it seems that you haven't lasted a few days!" ”

"Shut up, shut up! Haven't been beaten with a baton, have you? ”

Ping An was so angry that he jumped up, "Wait for Lao Tzu to come back and pick your skin!" ”

He grabbed the young man, asked him to lead the way in front, and immediately went to see the prisoners, with these prisoners, a battle plan has been freshly baked, Xu Huizu is going to be unlucky this time! Ping An thought excitedly.

……

The smoke and rain were hazy, and the torrential rain washed away the gunpowder smoke and blood stains at the head of the city, leaving only mottled traces on the green bricks, showing the cruelty of the battle.

The defensive battle of Chengdu has entered the seventh day. More than 20,000 houses have been demolished, and many people have had to sleep on the streets.

On this rainy day, Liu Chun gave Wang Cai a task, asking him to persuade the rich merchants in the city to give up their houses and give them to the old and weak women and children to live in, and not let a child or an old man freeze to death because of the rain.

It's an almost impossible task.

Half a day later, he told Liu Chun that there were more than 100 wealthy merchants in Chengdu, and more than 200 houses had been ceded, including garden compounds, warehouses, workshops, and trading houses...... There are tens of thousands of houses, enough to accommodate 50,000 old and infirm women and children.

Before it gets dark, you can all move in!

Liu Chun was impressed by this guy for the first time, "Lao Wang, you have some ability!" ”

Wang Cai barely squeezed out a smile, "Actually, it's not that difficult to do things, I will give up all my home...... Other businessmen can leave a few houses for themselves, and if they don't agree, I will be charged with collusion with foreign enemies! A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Wang Cai's mouth.

"Ge Laozi, these turtle sons are not stupid, Lao Tzu still wants to slaughter a few, but I didn't expect that they all obediently gave up the house." He was disappointed.

It's a war, but it's also a trial.

Things that couldn't be pushed in the past, at the moment of life and death, all became logical. The women of Chengdu also went out of their homes to help the soldiers bandage their wounds, make military rations, and even carry rolling wood and thunder stones.

This scene is exactly the same as the situation in Xi'an.

War is the most thorough mobilization, where the rules of the past are broken down and new ones are quickly established...... To improve the status of women, businessmen assume social responsibility, and the military and civilians are united...... It also includes the use and scheduling of materials to protect the elderly, weak, women and children...... Even in the army, between generals and soldiers, it has become different from before.

Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, went to the city to fight every day, and the princess Lan changed into cloth clothes, and quietly worked with other women to make military rations for her husband, looking forward to it. Waiting for her husband to return safely.

Zhu Chun gulped the hard biscuits, but it was not so rough and unpalatable.

After filling his stomach, Zhu Chun muttered: "The rain is light, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat if I want to!" ”

Lan Shi gave him a blank look, "Don't say anything discouraged!" You know? ”

"Madame is taught." Zhu Chun shook his head slightly, and said to himself: "When the rain stops and the fog starts, there will be a bloody battle...... Xu Huizu must be going to take Chengdu in one go! I'm going to fight him! ”

At this moment, the Lan clan actually had an extra spear in her hand, and she chuckled at Zhu Chun, "The prince has pretended to be a hero for so many days, it's the turn of the concubine, this time I will go to the city with you!" ”

Zhu Chun was stunned for a moment, instinctively wanting to refuse, but when the words reached the tip of his tongue, he changed his tone again, "Okay, husband and wife!" Either way, it's time to be together! ”

Everyone was waiting for the moment when the rain stopped.

But this rain is so tenacious, it lasted for almost two days before it gradually dissipated......

"Siege!"

Xu Huizu ordered!

"The whole army goes to the city, defend to the death!"

Zhu Chun ordered!

"Pretend to be defeated, close to the camp. The rest of the centaurs, then follow up, and kill the enemy together! ”

Peace ordered!

"Wipe the artillery, the gunpowder, check the gunpowder, and the whole army will go north!"

Feng Cheng is ordering!

……

The battle began instantly, and the dense crowd rushed towards Chengdu.

Xu Huizu also seemed to feel that things were not going well in other aspects, so he used all his strength, and the most elite 20,000 forbidden troops were sent out by him.

There are many old people who followed Xu Danan to fight in the north.

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, everyone, please!"

Obviously, the combat effectiveness of these people is not comparable to the scum of the past. They didn't shout to kill, they just approached quickly, climbed the city quickly, and opened the gap quickly...... It's like a group of cold machines that suddenly raise the rhythm of the battlefield to a new level!

"Not good!"

Lan Yong noticed something unusual, "Big guy, you must be careful, this is the elite!" He commanded the veterans to meet the enemy separately, and at the same time, he moved out all the firearms and crossbow arrows in the warehouse, and originally wanted to keep them for later, and the devil knows how many days they would fight.

But now I can't take care of it, there are too few elite soldiers in the city, and once it is broken through, the consequences will be unimaginable.

All the killer weapons were thrown out, and even so, by noon, they were still broken through in Dongcheng.

Lan Yong got the news and immediately sent troops over...... But before he could arrive, Du Sixian came over with someone.

That's right, it's Du Sixian, who almost died in the first few days.

"General Lan, you command the overall situation, I'll take back the city!"

After speaking, Du Du Sixian went up with more than 200 recruits trained by Liu Chun...... Half an hour later, out of two hundred people, only about fifty remained, and most of them were wounded.

Du Sixian was covered in blood, he only said one sentence, "The city is saved", and he passed out......

The corners of Lan Yong's eyes widened, and he scolded loudly: "Quick, go and rescue!" If he dies, I'll cut off your dog's head!" Lan Yong scolded while taking his own soldiers to the city, where there is danger, he will go.

The officers and troops attacked the city on all sides, without resting at all, the corpses under the city had been piled up into a mountain, and the originally tall Chengdu city wall had become much shorter!

"Xu Huizu, you're crazy, aren't you? Lao Tzu fought with you! ”

Lan Yong gritted his teeth, and at this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Why is Xu Huizu working so hard?" Lan Yong seemed to have discovered some secret, and he yelled wildly.

"Brethren! Hold on, the enemy soldiers are going to be finished! ”

Just as Lan Yong shouted, from the direction of the official army camp, a pillar of smoke shot straight into the sky!

Ping An commanded the army, and he had already broken through the seven camps and rushed straight to the Chinese army! This guy is completely crazy, and there is nothing that can stop him in his tracks!

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

Keep killing, what is surprising is that those prisoners, after talking and persuading, they have become the vanguard of the whole army, and the impact is the most ferocious, so that their colleagues in the official army are frightened, and they haven't seen each other for a few days, how did this gang of goods change people? Is this a demon king possessed?

Ping'an broke through the perimeter and went straight into the camp of the Chinese army, 200,000 people, which was quite large...... And at this moment, there was also a rumbling cannon sound in the rear, and Feng Cheng's firearms corps was also killed.

Liu Chun didn't know when, he appeared at the south city gate, he stretched his waist, and muttered, "It's time to counterattack!" ”
