Jiang Yuan glanced at Yang Ding beside him, Yang Ding's face was a little pale, his eyes were a little straight, and some beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, which could see the trembling in his heart, but he still forced himself to be calm and worked hard to maintain his image as a county guard.
In fact, it is no wonder that Yang Ding is timid, as a civilian official, he has basically never experienced such a huge war scene, and now he can still stand here, which already shows that his courage is commendable.
"Yang Taishou, the Jin people are attacking, this arrow crossbow has no eyes, Yang Taishou is the head of a county, you can't get involved in danger, you only need to supervise the battle behind, and the matter of retreating from the enemy will be handed over to the lower officials." Jiang Yuan said to Yang Ding.
Yang Ding came to the city, but only to stimulate morale, if he really let him command the battle, it became a joke, now that the offensive of the Jin army has begun, the city of Pingyang will soon fall into a fierce bloody battle, Yang Ding is still in the city at this time, it can no longer play any role, so Jiang Yuan timely "invited" him to go down to the city.
Yang Ding gently wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and he also understood that staying in the city would not help, but would hinder his hands, so he arched his hand and said, "The matter of city defense, then there is Captain Lao Jiang." ”
Jiang Yuan watched Yang Ding leave, turned around, and saw that the Jin army had already attacked the city and entered the range of the Shu army's bow and arrows, he pulled his sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "The soldiers of all armies listen to the order and prepare to meet the enemy!" Fight to the death and live and die with Binh Duong! ”
"Fight to the death! Live and die with Binh Duong! ”
The Shu army guarding the city shouted in unison, the high-pitched and loud voice lingered and echoed in the city of Pingyang, the soldiers of the Shu army were all excited, full of spirit, although the Jin army under the city was like an ant gathering, but at this moment, none of the soldiers of the Shu army retreated, and no one was afraid.
Jiang Yuan is a veteran of the Shu army, has experienced the battle of Yang'an Pass, experienced the snow-capped mountains and meadows, vertical and horizontal Yongliang, galloping through Guanlong, and has been through a hundred battles on the battlefield, with extremely rich combat experience.
Jiang Yuan is very good at mobilizing the emotions of the soldiers, and asking Yang Dingtai to patrol the city is equivalent to giving the defenders a reassurance, and the highest commander of Pingyang City is still with all the soldiers at the most difficult moment, and he will never give up, which undoubtedly gives the soldiers the greatest confidence.
Jiang Yuan, on the other hand, stood calmly on the front line of the city, never took half a step back, and stood still in the face of the swarming Jin army, which made the morale of the soldiers defending the city high and their fighting spirit high.
On the battlefield, an excellent commander plays an extremely significant role, he can not only command the battle, stimulate the morale of the army, more importantly, his existence, give countless ordinary soldiers the courage and belief to fight, if it is replaced by a greedy and cowardly general, the whole army is bound to be scattered, self-defeating.
Jiang Yuan gave an order, and the soldiers of the Shu army took their bows and arrows to attack the Jin army that entered the firing range.
Many of the soldiers of the Jin army were hit by arrows, some were killed by arrows, and some were wounded by arrows, but this did not seem to be able to stop the offensive of the Jin army, and the white torrent was still rolling forward, surging towards Pingyang City.
This siege battle, from the very beginning, entered the white heat, Wen Yang did not even carry out a tentative attack, directly launched a comprehensive general attack, Wen Yang just wanted to use the advantage of numbers and combat power, crush the opponent, in the shortest possible time to take Pingyang City.
The Jin army braved the rain of arrows and rushed to the foot of Pingyang City, the high cloud ladder was erected, and the Jin soldiers scrambled to climb the cloud ladder, carrying big knives and shields, and climbed hard towards the city.
The first to attack the head of the city will have a rich reward, under the heavy reward, naturally there is no shortage of brave men, the Jin soldiers in order to fight for the first, the strength of the milk are used, although the siege of the city is ranked in the forefront of the difficulty of various battles, but this attack on Pingyang City, is obviously an exception, the Jin soldiers think that this will be an easy victory, if it goes well, today can produce the first to attack the head of the city.
Such a low-hanging victory, such a rich reward, no one is not tempted, for ordinary soldiers, this is also the only chance to change their fate, as long as they can catch it, they can leap into the dragon gate from now on, and become rich and prosperous for a lifetime.
As for the danger of life and death during the siege, these soldiers don't care too much, the battlefield itself is a knife licking blood, fighting for life on the battlefield, wealth has always been in danger, and they think they are unlucky when they die, but if they happen to make a great achievement, it is a great joy.
Therefore, the soldiers of the Jin army turned a blind eye to the robes that kept falling around them, they were killed by arrows, it can only be said that they were unlucky, there were thousands of people on the battlefield, and the arrows shot by the enemy did not have long eyes, who was unlucky, and those who were not shot were undoubtedly lucky, everyone looked forward to their "luck and body", as long as they worked hard, the wealth of a lifetime could be earned.
Climbing the ladder, the defenders' defenses became stronger, not only bows and arrows, but also rolling wood and stones, boiling oil and boiling water, and even bricks and tiles became weapons, raining down.
The thick rolling logs roared down from the top of the city, as long as they were hit by it, a series of Jin soldiers on the ladder would be swept down, smashed and smashed, and when they reached the base of the city wall, they would become a pile of flesh and blood.
Once the ladder is hit, it will become a pile of rotten wood in an instant, and the Jin soldiers on the ladder will immediately be tragic, seeing that it is only a few feet away from the city, and then it will become a free fall, and it will fall back to the ground heavily, either the head is thrown out of ** or the thigh is broken in two, and its condition is miserable.
Of course, this is not the worst, the most tragic is to be poured with boiling oil, the boiling oil that has just burned red and is still smoking was splashed down, poured on the face of the Jin soldiers, and immediately you can hear the heart-rending screams and the heavy impact sound when landing, once the boiling oil is poured on the face, the facial features are almost cooked.
The Jin soldiers, who were not drenched in the face, seemed to be secretly lucky, with the shield in their hands and the armor on their bodies to resist, they could finally steal a catastrophe.
But then the torches thrown from the top of the city made their luck disappear in an instant. As soon as the Jin soldiers, who were covered in oil, encountered the slightest spark, they were surrounded by flames in an instant and became a burning man. (To be continued.)
