Chapter 771: Onslaught
What he said sounds good, but anyone can understand that the 30,000 wind troops in Ying City are lone soldiers, even if Qingyang is brave, if he doesn't get support, there is only a dead end in the end!
Sun Sheng wanted to say something more, but Su Muzhi didn't care about this, he immediately shook his voice and ordered: "The generals will listen to the order!" Immediately wave your army to capture Xunyang! ”
He is the commander, and under an order, the wind army moved up and down, and in only half a day, the troops were already in the city.
Subsequently, Su Mu's battle sword was unsheathed, and he didn't even rest, and directly launched a strong attack on Xunyang.
Xunyang is a big city, and after Zhongli set the strategy of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, he didn't think that Su Muzhi would choose to attack Xunyang, but in his opinion, this is unlikely. And he wasn't very worried, because in Xunyang City, he had tens of thousands of troops left, stationed with his solid city defense, even if Su Muzhi came to attack, there would be absolutely no problem in defending it for ten days and a half months.
But he underestimated Su Muzhi's determination!
Su Muzhi, on the battlefield, is definitely a cold-blooded and ruthless existence! For the sake of overall victory, he will definitely choose to sacrifice Qingyang.
And the Huwei army siege the city, has always been sharp and fierce, once the siege war is launched, the upper and lower soldiers, can not hear the sound of gold, absolutely no one retreats, otherwise, will be Su Muzhi to escape in military law!
Zhongli's defender left in Xunyang, named Shi Yao, at this moment, looking at the wolf-like wind army, is erecting countless ladders, desperately climbing up, he is located at the head of the city, holding the war knife in his hand, running back and forth at the same time, he also shouted: "Release the arrow!" Hurry up and release the arrows"
At this time, the Qing soldiers and soldiers, where are they still using him to command, people have already bowed and arrows, aimed at the wind army under the city, and launched random shooting, what stones and rolling wood, all thrown down.
The screams filled the audience, and during the siege, many of the wind soldiers were climbing the ladders, either being shot by arrows or falling under the city by boulders, and the number of casualties was also rising in a straight line.
But this did not stop the fierce offensive of the wind army in the slightest, and people were going forward one after another!
The wind army was so desperate to attack the city, its momentum was fierce, Shi Yao was afraid that Xunyang would lose, and in the process of commanding, he immediately pulled over a general and said loudly to him: "Quick! Ride a fast horse and tell Zhong Shuai that the wind army is storming Xunyang! Ask him to send reinforcements quickly! ”
"No!" The general hurriedly replied.
Xunyang is not particularly far from Yingcheng, but if the news reaches Zhongli, it will take at least two days, and even if he receives the news and decides to return to help, the march is not like riding a fast horse, and when it comes back, I am afraid it will take several days to come, so it will take ten days to say the least, and what Su Muzhi wants is to grasp this time difference and capture Xunyang within this time!
And this time in the siege, Su Muzhi has the mentality of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, if Xunyang is not captured, and all the Qingyang troops die in Yingcheng, then he will lose everything!
Therefore, the wind army was divided into three echelons by him, and they took turns to fight, day and night, and for three whole days, there was not a single Mingjin.
With such a ferocious offensive, the number of casualties of the Feng Army, it is conceivable that at this time, Sun Sheng began to persuade Su Muzhi again, suggesting that he withdraw his troops and take a temporary rest.
But Su Muzhi made up his mind to defeat the Qingjun in one go, and after hearing Sun Sheng's words, he immediately glared angrily, and said in a loud voice: "In this battle, Xunyang can only take a strong attack, and this commander is to fight with the Qingjun to fight the bravery!" Now on the battlefield, although the soldiers are fighting hard, but the spirit is still there, if Mingjin rests, this breath comes at once, and then wants to break through Xunyang, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky! ”
With 150,000 people, the price paid for the storming of Xunyang was painful, but if this city could be taken, it would undoubtedly lay the foundation for the victory of this war!
In order to improve the morale of his side, Su Muzhi threw down the iron-blooded military order at the same time, and on the fourth day of the siege, he personally went to the front line and commanded the soldiers to fight under the city pass.
You know, he is a real general, don't look at his command of the army, but he doesn't have any martial arts at all, and now he is on the front line of the siege, and the arrows everywhere may kill him at any time!
Just as he was holding his sword in his hand, holding the city pass high, and constantly directing the soldiers to charge, a sharp arrow came down from top to bottom, hitting him in the shoulder, and the arrow pierced through the armor and nailed into the flesh, which also made him cry out in pain, and staggered back two steps.
Sun Sheng was not far from him, and when he saw this, he hurriedly ran over and held Su Mudao: "Su Shuai!" ”
As he spoke, he immediately shouted, "Quick! Protect Su Shuai! ”
As a result, when Su Muzhi heard this, he directly pushed him away, and at the same time, he cut off most of the arrows exposed outside with a sword, and shouted: "Give me the siege!" Don't come! ”
Ah! When Sun Sheng heard this, he exclaimed, and hurriedly said: "Su Shuai, it's dangerous here, you still sit in the Chinese army and command the overall situation!" ”
"Get out of here!" Su Muzhi pushed him away again, and said angrily: "If you can't capture Xunyang, this commander will live and die with all the soldiers here!" ”
Hearing this, Sun Sheng's eyes immediately widened! You must know that Su Muzhi is the commander of the first army!
But this is undoubtedly like a burst of stimulant, which greatly boosted the morale of the officers and men of the Feng Army, and they also began to launch a more crazy offensive against Xunyang!
At this time, Xunyang, after three days and three nights of strong attack, has become precarious, the strength of the wind army is seriously damaged, the green army is not much better, plus they only have tens of thousands of horses, three days and three nights, the soldiers of the city defense, because of the sharp reduction in troops, can no longer take turns to garrison, at present, all the soldiers, is already struggling to support.
Of course, Su Muzhi couldn't give Xunyang's Qingjun any respite, and he also made up his mind to break through the city pass on the fourth day!
At the head of the city, a young army general hurriedly walked over, and when he saw him, Shi Yao's eyes suddenly lit up, and a glimmer of hope immediately rose in his heart.
Because this partial general is the same person who rode a fast horse to inform Zhongli four days ago.
After arriving in front of Shi Yao, without waiting for the general to clasp his fists and salute, Shi Yao hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Reinforcements are on the way! ”
"This ......" The general swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "Zhong Shuai said, let the general hold on for another five days, and after he annihilates the wind army in Yingcheng, he will return to the division immediately." ”
"Yes! I can't hold it! Shi Yao's eyes were about to split.
The reason why Zhongli didn't choose to return to the army immediately was because in his opinion, Xunyang's city defense was tall and solid, and there was absolutely no problem in holding it for five more days, and during this period, he would also exterminate Qingyang!
