Chapter 163: The East Wind Blows, the War Drums Beat (9)
The person who spoke was sitting on the side, but unfortunately his eyes were blind, Yun Nu hurriedly bent down, "Yun Nu is worried about the safety of the king, and he is out of proportion for a while, and he still hopes that the master will teach him." ”
The operator said with a smile: "The person who once calculated the great destiny for the king back then, the so-called providence is only man-made, not to mention that the law of astrology cannot be trusted." ”
The two of them were originally from Guigumen, Guigu learned three things in his life, the art of war, the last one is the number of techniques, although the two are different from the same door, Guigumen is extremely mysterious, Guiguzi has learned in his life can be regarded as a celestial man, and the disciples of the door pass on the two more, and what the two have learned is also opposite, just like Pang Juan and Sun Bin back then, the reason is unknown.
Zou Yan learned the astrology, deducing the changes of the stars to predict the future, this method can be called mysterious, the human operator learned to be the physiognomy, through the guò human body emitting qi to infer the good luck and evil, the same can be seen in the future creation.
Zou Yan and the two have also fought all their lives, and now they are in their last years when they get together, Zou Yan smiled and said: "Senior brother, don't you want to preach again!" ”
The human operator's eyes are blind, and the corners of his mouth show a slight smile, "The eyes can't see, the heart can, don't worry, although there is a calamity, it will definitely be difficult for the king." ”
Yun Nu nodded, Zou Yan kept calculating with the compass in his hand, and the fingers of the operator were gently tapped, and it was bound to be an argument before, and even sleepless for days and nights, but now it is different, there are too many experiences, and his temperament has also changed, and he doesn't want to force many things anymore.
The army of Zhao State is close to the border, the people along the way are all happy, the army is encamped, all the generals gather, someone takes the city defense map of Yan State, the fortress of Yan State has been operating for many years, although the city wall can not be compared with Linzi and Jimo, the advantage lies in the terrain, and the two mountains are completely occupied by the city fortress.
"King, you can feint from the front, force the opponent to use the elite forces to defend the front, and then organize the elite forces to quickly launch an offensive from both sides, once the two wings are captured, the middle defense force is like a void."
"That's a good idea."
Zhang Liang said his idea, Mu Chen was the first to agree, and Zhao Kuo nodded, "This king also has this idea, who is the most suitable person to take the feint attack in the middle lane?" ”
When the words fell, everyone's eyes dodged, and everyone knew that the so-called feint was just a show, how could it be happy to rush up and fight.
"But what general would want to?"
Zhao Kuo asked twice in a row and no one answered, "What does the military advisor think?" ”
"General Mu."
"Nope." Mu Chen's eyes widened, it was better to kill himself if he let himself put on a show, this Zhang Liang didn't look at the usual nothing, he had a bad heart, most likely because he had collided with him last time, so he deliberately did not let himself lead the team to attack.
Zhao Kuo nodded, "That's it." ”
"King, Mu Chen." Mu Chen cried with a sad face, Bai Ying, Zhang He and others smiled, most of the scenery on weekdays was robbed by Mu Chen, and after coming back from the capture of the Yan Kingdom Fortress this time, he must be angry.
"Don't think that a feint attack is not an attack, and don't underestimate your own role, if this king sends a person casually, you can't play a momentum, try to ask the Yan army how to plan, the military division arranges its own reason, this king's account on the courage of the battle no one can go out of the right of General Mu, this must be the Yan army is also clear, now the Chinese army is aimed at the middle of the fortress, plus there is a general in charge of the town must be convinced! Do you still have objections? ”
"In this case, Mu Chen is willing to attack the middle road."
"Okay, be on guard tonight, and attack the city early tomorrow morning."
Nearly three watches, the gate of the Yan army city fortress opened, and the two teams of men and horses rushed out, all of them cavalry, to prevent the night war horses from being frightened and neighing and then alarming the opposite Zhao army, and tied the horse's mouth with a rope in advance, and another way was to blindfold the war horse.
King Yan didn't feel sleepy, I don't know if it was because of excitement or nervousness, in the face of an opponent like Zhao Kuo, he couldn't be negligent at all, once he was caught by the opponent, he could only swallow the bitter fruit of defeat, plus the Donghu army, the strength should be in the Zhao army, and now the layout was in advance, and all the victory factors were completely occupied by Yan, "Zhao Kuo, today next year is your death day." ”
The sky was bright, the army of Zhao Guo was assembled, the four camps surrounded the Chinese army, and the Yan army was never seen above the city wall, most likely because the distance was too far.
"General Mu, although it is a feint, you must spare no effort, if you have the opportunity, you should break through the city gate."
Mu Chen's broadsword in his hand was raised, "The military advisor can rest assured." After speaking, he urged the horse forward, and the 40,000 siege camps behind him advanced in turn.
Above the city wall, a person poked his head out, wearing a wide felt hat on his head, and two ribbons hung down above the felt hat, which is the unique clothing of the Donghu people, the ribbon is not only for beauty, but also can highlight the identity, and the ribbon material and color are also exquisite.
Under the city wall, a row of Donghu archers hid their bodies, with a bull horn bow in their left hand, their bodies in a half-kneeling posture, and their right hands approaching the quiver, as long as the leader gave an order, they immediately shot to kill the incoming enemy.
How fast is the Jebe archer's shot, get up, draw the bow, put on the arrow, and shoot almost instantly, the most admirable thing is that such a speed does not affect the accuracy at all, and the fastest bird in the sky can not escape, and the name of the sharpshooter on the grassland also comes from this.
The drums sounded, the middle camp moved forward, the front army was all infantry, the spears kept hitting the shield, the movements were uniform, the pace was almost the same, the infantry camp was behind the charging camp carrying siege equipment, wearing thick armor, it seemed to be bulky but it was not, the armor of Zhao State was improved by Zhao Kuo, the outside was made of bronze, and the inside was filled with cotton wool, which strengthened the defense and could keep warm at the same time, the north was cold, and the soldiers of Zhao State experienced a cold winter and had very little frostbite.
Behind the siege camp, the elite bow and crossbow camp of Zhao State, holding a bow and crossbow with amazing momentum, as the absolute elite of the Zhao army, the black-armored cavalry on both sides, the long sword in his hand was raised high, and the cold light flashed with the sound of drums to add a killing atmosphere.
The back of the bow and crossbow camp can not be underestimated, a tall wooden cart slowly forward, in order to facilitate the installation of wooden wheels below, one of the long logs with ropes on top, the long wood is connected by animal leather bands below, the wooden carts are heavy, and it is a mountainous area that requires the joint efforts of four people to push.
Zhao Jun approached, the voice kept coming, and there was no one above the city wall, Mu Chen couldn't help frowning, could it be an empty city, it shouldn't be, Yan Jun Biansai has been operating for many years, and he will definitely not give up lightly.
"Front army formation."
At the sound of an order, the front army advanced rapidly, came to the front, the shield in his hand was raised high, and the second row of shield bearers followed almost at the same time, standing up and down, and the two rows of shields were connected up and down just to completely cover the body of the soldiers of the front army's camp.
"General, look."
One person's eyes were sharp, and an object above the city wall kept shaking, looking a little strange, "What is that?" ”
"It looks like a person!"
Mu Chenle spoke up, "Even if the Yan army is afraid, it can't be like this, pass on the general's order, and the drums will rise again to attack the city with all their might." ”
Looking down from above, it was the leader of the Jebe tribe, Mu Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw the thing on the head of the Donghu people for the first time, obviously it was a man who wore armor on his head, and he didn't want to get a fancy thing to wear on it.
The sun rose, the drums sounded, and the siege camp moved forward quickly, with the shield battalion of the front army as a cover, the siege camp could get as close as possible to the city wall, so as to avoid the danger of being hit on the way.
The shield battalion in the middle of the road was quick to score, and three rows of soldiers with wooden ladders rushed out, facing the high city can only pass guò this most primitive way to attack, the wooden ladder frame above the city wall through guò kept climbing and killing the city wall, the front has been described, the front end of the wooden ladder of Zhao Guo has a sharp hook, which increases stability and can avoid the soldiers in the city to grasp the wooden ladder with both hands to the greatest extent.
The siege wooden ladder was erected, there was still no movement above, Mu Chen's secret path was strange, the drums did not stop, and only to launch an offensive, two thousand siege elites rushed out quickly.
"Shoot!"
Before the sound arrived, the arrows arrived, the rows of Donghu archers quickly appeared, the arrows sent out their bodies and went downward, the second row was already ready, quickly aimed, and the right hand was loosened, and the arrows went straight to the soldiers of the Zhao State who were besieging the city.
One qiē is far from over, the city wall of Yan Kingdom is relatively wide, and there are a total of nearly two thousand Donghu archers with amazing archery skills hidden on it, the first wave of the offensive collapsed instantly, and half of the two thousand siege team were killed and injured in an instant, Mu Chen's eyes widened, so the result was completely unexpected, "Keep rushing." ”
The second and third siege echelons were sent out at the same time, plus the previous offensive was blocked by the camp, the siege force was close to five thousand, and the black pressure under the city wall was overwhelming, and the shouting was bursting, and the leader of the Jebe tribe snorted coldly, "It's useless to come as many people as you come." ”
