Chapter 658: Hand-to-hand combat
The recruits of the standard battalion were waiting for the moment of short-handed encounters under the leadership of Su Thick Legs. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The info rogue didn't make them wait long, and soon someone broke through Minyong's defense and appeared at the top of the wall.
Seeing the rogue soldiers brandishing steel knives and jumping into the aisles of the city wall with their teeth and claws, the soldiers of the standard battalion subconsciously took a few steps back, after all, shooting from a long distance and fighting face to face are two different things after all-before today, many of them had never seen blood, and it was the first time they had shot in actual combat. And these exiles who besieged the city were burdened with more than a dozen lives, killing people almost every day for survival, not taking other people's lives seriously, nor taking their own lives seriously, and their eyes showed bloodthirsty hideousness, which made the soldiers of the standard battalion a little afraid.
Seeing that their opponents were afraid, the homeless people became excited, brandished steel knives and pounced, and in the blink of an eye, they cut down several soldiers, who did not even have time to make a stabbing and blocking move. When the rest of the people saw this, they immediately scattered, and they threw stones back, and it was really difficult for them to fight hard with the rogues.
Originally, when the besieging side had just entered the city wall, it was the best opportunity for the defending side to gain a foothold, and then the reinforcements continued to come up, and the city defense would be in danger. Due to the fear and hesitation of the soldiers of the standard battalion, more homeless people appeared on the wall, like ants crawling out of caves, densely packed, and poured onto the city wall.
Su Rutu was a little anxious, recruits who had never fought were different from veterans, and they lost the best opportunity in a moment. If you hesitate any longer, the walls will be lost. He picked up his rifle and shouted: "Why are you stunned, let's get on together!" While shouting, he stabbed at the nearest homeless person, his movements were steady and ruthless, and he was between the chest and abdomen, piercing a deep heart.
Shangguan took the lead, and the soldiers woke up like from a dream, plucked up their courage, and stabbed at the homeless.
In the first round, both sides suffered casualties. The soldiers of the standard battalion were not confident enough and their movements were not resolute enough, while the homeless people were in full swing, and there was a tie on both sides.
Su Thick Legs shouted loudly: "If they don't die, we will die, and it depends on us whether we can survive or not!" Then he shouted "Kill!" "Another stab against an opponent.
Led by him, the soldiers also shouted "Kill!" "Raise your spear and stab your opponent.
In the second round of stabbing, the homeless people were slightly at a disadvantage. An inch long, an inch strong, after all, the length of the rifle and the bayonet is close to two meters, not the length of the steel knife can be compared, after the assassination action is made, in the face of the spear-like bayonet, the homeless can not get close at all, let alone cut the opponent.
The next thrusts gradually lost their rhythm, and the assassination movements were no longer uniform, but the soldiers gradually found their confidence. They stood tightly together, three or five, six or seven people lined up in a tight small horizontal line, repeating the assassination action, so that the homeless people had to retreat.
The well-trained assassination action is obvious in the face of the sword chopping action of fighting separately, and the homeless people have no firm will to fight, and they have consumed too much physical strength in the process of shifting the direction of the main attack, just relying on a false fire to support, and now they can't get the upper hand, they are a little impatient or flustered, and some people are rolling their eyes around, looking left and right, already looking for a way out.
Seeing this, Su Bujiao, who was experienced in combat, knew that the opportunity had come, and shouted: "Brothers, work harder and drive them down!" ”
The recruits, who were slowly entering the state, screamed and rushed towards their opponents with bayonets in their hands, and the homeless people were suppressed in momentum and retreated. Retreating to the wall, there was no way out, some gritted their teeth and went forward to fight, and some climbed over the wall, trying to climb down the ladder.
But the people below continued to climb up, and the fleeing homeless people had no place to put their feet, so they kicked with their feet in a hurry, and some unlucky ones fell from the ladder, and fell to the ground with their heads and feet, and they could not live.
The rest of the people quit, and Nima went up to the city wall and was blasted out by others, and he couldn't get credit for himself, and he blocked our way, so he didn't take such a bully, so he swung his knife to cut off the feet of the fleeing homeless. The homeless man who had been cut in the foot was furious, and condescendingly stabbed with a knife, and the two sides were on fire at the top of the ladder and the edge of the city wall.
After Su Thick Legs led the soldiers to either stab to death or drive away the homeless people who attacked the city wall, standing by the wall and seeing this ridiculous scene, he couldn't help but shake his head, it was really a rabble without military discipline.
The homeless people who were "fighting" without self were not aware of the movement behind them at all, and only after a bayonet stabbed over did they know that something was wrong, and they fell down with a wail, and some of them reacted quickly without waiting for the bayonet to stab the body, and jumped down directly with their eyes closed, at a height of about ten meters, although their feet would break, it was better than being stabbed to death.
From the far distance below the city, the walls were full of people, and the ant-like crowd poured up the walls, and after a short time they were driven down again, and the people on the ladder fell down like a landslide, and the hope of success was ruthlessly extinguished.
Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong, who rode to the north gate on horseback, were very disappointed, there were no wood, stones, and wolf teeth to shoot these messy city defense equipment, and they were not opponents when they attacked hard.
Zhang Xianzhong said viciously: "It only took two hours to attack Luzhou, and no more than a thousand people died. Lao Tzu doesn't believe in evil, pile up one or two hundred thousand people, and don't believe that he can't gnaw on this Hezhou City! ”
Gao Yingxiang frowned, and said to Zhang Xianzhong: "This Zhu Dadian is worthy of being a rebel in Shandong, there is really a set of troops, and the generals who defend the city are also very powerful, the equipment is used well, and the hand-to-hand combat can also stabilize the position, which is much more difficult to fight than Luzhou." It's not a way to fight like this, so let's withdraw our troops for the time being. ”
Zhang Xianzhong said unwillingly: "The defenders in the city are only a few thousand people who have died, and our 50,000 army, do you admit it?" ”
Gao Yingxiang's eyes sharpened: "Don't fight a few battles and don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, have you forgotten that we were chased by Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao in Henan?" If we spend all our troops under this small Hezhou city, when Hong Chengchou's army arrives, what will we use to resist? ”
was stared at by him like this, Zhang Xianzhong sobered up a little. Although Gao Yingxiang's tone made him very uncomfortable, the other party's qualifications and prestige were stronger than him, and his troops were more than him, and what he said was reasonable, so he could only endure it.
Gao Yingxiang turned his gaze to the direction of the city gate, and said undoubtedly: "Order to retreat!" Let's think of other ways to attack the city. ”
