Chapter 273: It's Arrived
Chapter 273 has arrived
After lunch, as soon as the war drums sounded, Wang Bo gathered all 100,000 or so men and horses to besiege Sucheng on all sides. Among them, there is a section of the collapsed city wall at the east gate that is blocked by the people of Yanyunzhai with mud sandbags, this section is the weakest place in the defense of Sucheng, the offensive of the Jibei army on the east gate a few days ago has been mainly here, but the people and horses of Yanyunzhai have been heavily defended in this section, rolling oil, lime, rolling wood, throwing guns, and almost all means are used in this section.
This time, Wang Bo personally commanded Qiuji's men and horses, and still took this section of the collapsed city wall as the main direction of attack.
There are more than 50,000 horses under Wang Bo behind to supervise the battle, and the soldiers under Qiu Ji's original command know that retreating is also a death, so it is better to move forward, if they can conquer Sucheng, they can not only save their lives, but also make a small fortune. Of course, if you can save your surname, it is acceptable to break a small fortune.
Under the command of several of Wang Bo's close generals, the soldiers under Qiu Ji began to rush in the direction of Sucheng with a roar. Less than 20,000 men were forced by the Warlords to run as hard as they could, struggling to hold their rudimentary shields high to hold back the feathered arrows that rained down from the walls.
The soldiers of the Jibei Army who were pressed by the black pressure ran forward as if they were not dying, and the feather arrows fell into the crowd like hail falling into the crops, and the soldiers of the Jibei Army fell one after another like the crops that were knocked down. It's just that relative to the number of Jibei troops, the number of people who fell was only a very small part. If you look down from the sky, you can vaguely see the soldiers who have been shot by feather arrows falling down to form a small vacancy, like a pit on the beach that rains on the beach, but soon, this vacancy is blocked by the people rushing up from behind.
The people in front fell, and the people behind continued to rush forward on their backs.
The feather arrows are not as continuous as the torrential rain, but the soldiers of the Jibei Army are not as continuous as the ocean.
Xiong Kuohai stood on the city wall and looked at the Jibei army surging over like a tide outside the city, frowned slightly, turned his head sideways and said to Li Xian beside him: "General, it seems that Wang Bo is planning to fight today." The camps of the Jibei Army are all empty, and it is impossible to say that Wang Bo will personally take command today. ”
Li Xian bent his fingers and said: "Resist until the evening, if Zhang Xutuo of Qi County is not there, I will let the iron wolf take the Ruijin camp out of the city to attack, and directly kill Wang Bo's Chinese army." You get the hoplites ready, and you're going to need them today. ”
Xiong Kuohai smiled: "Those guys are all crazy, just waiting for your order, general." ”
Li Xian smiled and said, "It's to make them have enough murderous energy." ”
He looked at the ruined wall and whispered a few words to the vast sea. Xiong Kuohai nodded, walked out quickly, and arranged according to Li Xian's instructions.
Xu Shiji stood on the city wall and shook his head slightly and said puzzledly: "I really don't know, what is Li Xian waiting for." ”
Cheng Zhijie also shook his head with his movements and said, "Could it be that he is really waiting for reinforcements as the military advisor guessed?" It's just that we have also speculated that most of the men and horses of Yanyunzhai should be deployed in the two counties of Leize and Juye, what reinforcements does he have? ”
Xu Shiji looked outside the city and suddenly felt a move in his heart: "Could it be ...... Who was he waiting for? ”
"Who?"
Cheng Zhijie asked curiously.
Xu Shiji smiled bitterly and said, "If it is really that person, this Li Xian can be regarded as a ghost." can think of this way, not only borrowed the siege of Sucheng, but also let our Wagangzhai owe him a favor, admire! ”
"Who the hell is it?"
Cheng Zhijie asked impatiently.
Xu Shiji slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Qi County is guarded, Zhang Xutuo." ”
"Li Xian said a few days ago that the confused emperor of the Great Sui ordered the transfer of Qi County to guard Zhang Xutuo and lead the army to attack our Wagang Village. Now that I think about it, he had already made a calculation! Wang Bo's Jibei army attacked Dongping County, and Zhang Xutuo used this as an excuse to send troops to attack Wang Bo, so he didn't have to go to Dongjun to fight with our Wagangzhai. In this way, Li Xian benefited, and Zhang Xutuo also benefited, that is, our Wagangzhai also seemed to benefit, as if it was ...... Only Wang Bo is an unlucky ghost. ”
As he was talking, he suddenly saw Li Xian walking slowly towards this side. He glanced at Cheng Zhijie, and Cheng Zhijie understood that the two of them would no longer talk about it.
"It seems that Wang Bo is going to work hard today."
Cheng Zhijie looked at Li Xian and said with a smile.
Li Xian hummed but did not pick up the topic, but suddenly said something a little nonsense.
"I know who it is."
Cheng Zhijie was confused, and Xu Shiji's face changed.
"Who is it?"
Xu Shiji asked.
Li Xian looked at Xu Shiji and said abruptly: "It seems that a battle between me and Wagangzhai is inevitable. ”
The preamble of these two sentences did not match the afterword, and Cheng Zhijie was confused when he heard it, but Xu Shiji frowned, and his face became ugly.
"My spies risked their lives last night through the company camp of Wang Bo's army, and quietly returned to Sucheng to bring back a piece of news."
Li Xian took a breath and said slowly: "There is a person who visited Wang Bo in Jibei a month ago and stayed in Wang Bo's cottage for more than a dozen days before leaving. After that, he went all the way to the southwest, and it is said that he went to visit the big boss of Wagangzhai Zhai. Before going to Jibei County to see Wang Bo, this person sent a lot of people to infiltrate Dongjun to instigate the people to pour into my Dongping, and then took the opportunity to provoke the people to make trouble. ”
Xu Shiji's face became paler and paler, and he pursed his lips and waited for Li Xian to say the name of that person.
"Li Mi."
Li Xian shook his head and sighed: "This person has made some calculations and messed up Dongjun, Dongping County, and Jibei County, it seems that ...... It's a big plan. ”
Xu Shiji shook his head and smiled bitterly: "In other words, the people and horses of my Wagangzhai are just another knife in Li Mi's hand?" ”
His heart suddenly lit up: "Dongdu! ”
Li Xian hummed and said, "Ninety percent is like this." ”
……
……
Wang Bo urged Qiuji's soldiers to climb the wall and attack Sucheng, especially on the east gate, and the pressure on the defenders of Yanyunzhai was increasing. After only holding out for half an hour, soldiers of the Jibei Army climbed the city wall along the ladder. The soldiers of the Houtu Battalion rushed over, and after a while, the soldiers of the Jibei Army were forced to fall off the city wall one after another. But in this way, the archers of Yanyunzhai on the city wall had to retreat, and the soldiers of the Jibei Army poured into the soldiers under the city wall even more.
"Push me!"
Wang Bo's confidant Wang Hai shouted loudly: "If you can't rush to the city hammer, even if you push it by hand, you have to push this broken city wall to Lao Tzu!" ”
Countless soldiers of the Jibei Army rushed up, and began to dig down from the ruined city wall with their hands and feet. The shattered earth and sandbags were gradually pulled out, and after hundreds of casualties, the city wall finally collapsed with a bang, a large hole had been pulled out. The earth and sandbags fell and stirred up the smoke and dust in the sky, and the soldiers of the Jibei Army broke out in an earth-shaking cheer in the smoke.
"The walls are broken!"
"Kill!"
"Brothers, kill, the big boss said, whoever is the first to attack the city will be rewarded with fifty taels of gold and a thousand pieces of meat, and the women in the city can choose whatever they want, and they can also sit on the seventh position of our Jibei Army! Kill! ”
Wang Hai shouted loudly, encouraging the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Jibei Army.
"Kill! Chop all those miscellaneous pieces of Yanyun Village to death, the food and women are ours! ”
"Brothers, rush forward, slaughter the city!"
"Slaughter the city! Slaughter the city! Slaughter the city! ”
Amid the shouts of the slaughter of the city, more than 200 soldiers of the Jibei Army climbed up the slope without waiting for the dust from the collapsed sandbags to disperse, and climbed up like crazy while shouting. The defenders of Yanyunzhai on the city wall continued to shoot the soldiers of the Jibei Army below with feather arrows, and soon, the corpses of the soldiers of the Jibei Army were piled up under the collapsed city wall.
About a hundred people broke through the smoke and dust and broke through the blockade of the soldiers of Yanyunzhai on the city wall and finally rushed into the city, but before they had time to be happy, a rain of arrows flew from the city, and more than 100 soldiers of the Jibei Army who entered the city were shot into hedgehogs in a moment.
The dust and smoke cleared, but inside the gap, about seven or eight hundred archers formed a formation of four or four methods, and the hard bows in their hands had once again been equipped with feather arrows.
"Don't retreat! There are not many people left in Yanyunzhai, as long as you kill the archers, they are cattle and sheep for you to slaughter! Kill! ”
Wang Hai shouted, waved his hand and took the lead along the slope with more than a dozen personal soldiers.
The soldiers of the Jibei Army had already seen the hope of victory at this time, how could they be intimidated by a rain of arrows? With Wang Hai's shout, countless soldiers climbed up the collapsed slope like black and crushed ants. The archers of Yanyunzhai in the city immediately loosened the bowstring with neat movements, and a rain of arrows shot out, and the soldiers of the Jibei Army who rushed up the slope fell layer by layer like wheat that had been put down by a sickle.
It's just that although the archers did not retreat a step, the feather arrows they shot also formed a must-kill blockade, but more and more people rushed up from the Jibei army, one died, two were on top, two were dead, and four were on top. The soldiers of the Jibei Army seemed to see the wolves with fresh meat, and frantically pounced on them, ready to devour the flesh and blood.
Finally, the soldiers of the Jibei Army rushed down the slope into the city, getting closer and closer to the archers of Yanyunzhai.
"Retreat!"
The captain who commanded the archers in Yanyunzhai shouted, and the archers immediately ran to the left and right without hesitation. The soldiers of the Jibei Army rushed forward with a roar, intending to kill all the archers with the lowest defense in all arms. But as the archers of Yanyunzhai divided to the left and right, the soldiers of the Jibei Army, who saw clearly what was behind them and were still rushing forward, immediately stopped, shouted in horror and wanted to run back, but the back road was blocked by their comrades, and they couldn't go back at all!
Behind the archers, there was a neat line of heavy infantry, and in the evening glow, the dark heavy armor exuded a dark and cold hard color, and the dense heavy infantry stood there, like a made of steel. At the side of the hoplites whispered a heavy horizontal sword, and at this time, they held a throwing spear in their hands.
"Kill!"
At the sound of the command, hundreds of spears were thrown out like meteorites. In just a few moments, almost all the soldiers of the Jibei Army who rushed into the city were crucified to the ground. But the follow-up people didn't know what was happening in front of them and rushed forward, and soon hundreds of people poured in.
"Heavy Armor!"
The majestic sea pointed forward with a strange knife.
"Onward!"
"Onward!"
"Onward!"
With a neat shout, the heavy armor slowly activated. In the cold sword light of the Mo Dao, the frightened expressions on the faces of the soldiers of the Jibei Army were gradually magnified.
The blood mist is rising!
Yan Yun is heavily armored and unstoppable!
Xu Shiji and Cheng Zhijie's eyes widened almost at the same time when they saw the team of heavily armored Mo swordsmen on the city wall, and the two exchanged glances with each other, the meaning of which was incredible!
"Not good!"
Xu Shiji snorted and said: "Brother Zhai, they don't know that Yanyun Village has such a scale of heavily armored Mo swordsmen, if Lei Ze Juye also arranges heavy armored infantry, Wagangzhai will suffer a big loss." ”
At this moment, I saw a sudden chaos behind the Jibei Army outside the city. One after another, the fierce red battle flags of the Great Sui fluttered, and the shouts of killing pierced the sky!
Qijun Zhang Xutuo, it's here!
