Chapter Eighty-Six: Huangfu Song Abandons Xiangyang
This group of heavily armored infantry armed to the extreme, is waiting for the opportunity, led by the eighteen warriors of the Sun family, about more than 100 heavy infantry, heavy infantry, the cost is extremely high, not only that heavy armor, worth 10,000 gold, my own quality is also very high, even if the personal quality of this era is very high, but it is difficult to choose qualified heavy infantry.
At this time, these people were wearing iron masks and did not say a word, the short crossbow hung on the left waist, and the heavy soldiers were in their hands, and no one noticed that this heavy infantry was approaching Xiangyang City, and the crisis had been covered by the fighting between the two sides.
Bundles of straw lit with boiling oil were thrown from behind the female wall, splashing down and igniting the ladder.
Seeing that the four ladders in front of him were lit one after another, Yu She, the defender of this city wall, breathed a sigh of relief at this time, he was originally Yuan Shu's general, Yuan Shu was wandering outside at this time, and there was no shortage of generals around him, so he sent him to Huangfu Song's side.
At this time, Yu She, who was wearing iron armor, looked at the miserable appearance of the Yellow Turban Army being burned, and couldn't help but be excited, wandering on this city wall, shouting: "You don't have to save arrows!" ”
Sun Yong caught a glimpse of Yu She, who was the only one shouting on the city wall, knowing that the opportunity was rare, he immediately stepped forward, stepping on the burning ladder and charging, which was only about two zhang long, and the flames on it looked terrifying, in fact, it was only a few feet high, he was wearing heavy armor, as long as he did not delay, it would be no harm to rush over!
As he charged, Sun Zhi and others, who were supervising the soldiers behind him, shouted even more, and immediately a group of heavily armored infantry troops began to charge, seizing this opportunity and occupying this city wall.
The seventeen brothers of the Sun family's martial arts, followed Sun Yong at this time, more of the troops stepped on the flames and strode forward, and the cloud ladder armor soldiers everywhere were also shouting excitedly, rushing forward.
After only stepping on four steps, Sun Yong jumped to the city wall, and as soon as he landed on the ground and raised his knife to stab a person in the chest, he pushed forward, and the heavily armored infantry army behind him landed almost at the same time, swinging his knife and slashing wildly.
Before Yu Shi could change his breath, he saw Sun Yong rushing to within ten steps of him, and suddenly his soul was in a hurry, and he screamed loudly at the enemy's approaching ring-headed knife, so that his legs were heavy and he couldn't move.
Generally speaking, at this time, the average man is about seven and a half feet tall, the woman is about seven feet tall, and the difference from ordinary people is eight feet, such a person is a natural general.
And like nine feet tall, it is extremely rare, this kind of character, as long as he is an adult, will basically be recommended by the county, in the inspection system, there is a brave soldier law department, which is specially prepared for these people, at this time the Han army at the head of the city saw this legendary man who looked like a god, wearing black full-body armor, and there was iron armor on his face, and he was frightened, and his legs and hands were weak.
But Sun Yong would not relent at this moment, the ring head knife began to slash vigorously in his hand, and the city wall was just enough for him to wield, and everywhere he went, he was killed immediately.
Sun Zhi and others under the city, looked up and saw that Sun Yong was invincible and unstoppable, and his heart was awe-inspiring immediately, not forgetting to urge his troops, at this moment, the lord will fight bravely, the fear of the soldiers is gone, the blood is boiling uncontrollably, and the spear is rushing, stepping on the cloud ladder where the flames are gradually weakening and rushing to the city.
Every time Sun Yong took a step, the ring head knife was a blow, and each blow would be able to slash two or three people, whether it was armor, shield, spear shaft, or arm, leg, waist pole, he cut it off with a single sword.
At this time, Yu She, who was protected by a group of pro-corps, only retreated five or six steps, and was caught up by Sun Yong, with a halberd piercing his chest, and the fine iron armor on his chest was like paper paste.
Before Yu Shi felt the pain, Sun Yong drew his knife and took advantage of the situation to slash again, Yu She's pelvic collar armor to protect his neck was cut open, and Sun Yong slashed a few more backhands to cut off Yu She's head.
And the soldiers and military officials behind Yu Shi were already stupid, and none of them dared to step forward, watching Sun Yong slash several times in a row, and cut off Yu She's head extremely quickly.
When Sun Yong swung his sword and slashed, he was silent, looking at it, like Shura, which was fascinating, and waiting for Yu She's head to fall to the ground, Sun Yong was about to kill again, and the defenders knelt down and begged to surrender.
This is not surprising, the prestige of Huangfu Song has not been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the Han army has not been fully mastered by him, the consequences of the defeat in the previous war are very serious, and it has not been completely eliminated until now, as the Lord will be beheaded, it is not surprising that these people kneel on the ground and pray for surrender.
This city head is occupied, the consequences are very serious, the surrounding Han army fought hard, but the yellow turban that already had a foothold was not afraid of fighting, and went forward one after another, guarding this city, and then continued to expand the results.
Sun Yong was at the head of the city at this time looking northeast, about thirty miles, there was a faint point, this point was surrounded by reclaimed wheat fields, from a long distance, the wheat fields seemed to be in the middle of summer, dark green leaves fell there, at this time there was also fighting, his master and the lord Sun Xin, was leading the cavalry there to fight against the Han army.
Sun Yong rested for a while, rushed forward with people again, and after a fight, he directly killed the city wall and occupied a city gate, and when the city gate was opened, Sun Zhi led a large group of infantry into the city to take over everywhere, Sun Yong returned to the simple city tower to guard.
There is only one floor of the city tower, storing a large number of arrows and grass bundles, at this time there are pro-soldiers who come forward to remove his armor, although the time before and after the city is less than a stick of incense, the real time to fight is also the time of a cup of tea, Rao is so, Sun Yong has sweated like pulp at this time.
The fine linen robe in the armor, the seven layers of coarse silk stitched in the robe have been stained with sweat at the moment, Sun Yong put on a cloak and walked in the city tower, and after drinking wine, he felt that the fatigue of his body was slightly relaxed.
A heavy armor, full of seventy or eighty pounds, melee ring head knife also has twenty pounds, he almost carries a hundred pounds of weight to fight, with a pair of legs and a pair of hands, to resist the enemy, this is not easy, for him, it is still a big burden, if you take off the heavy armor, wearing light armor, he only holds a sword and shield to fight, the battle time can be doubled.
However, in that case, there will be no threat of rushing left and right, and there needs to be guards on the left and right, unlike heavy armor, as long as the heavy armor is intact, he can rush left and right at will by force, but it is still not enough experience, if he is successful in training, with his qualifications, he can fight for an hour.
It has only been a few months since he got the martial arts inheritance, and his titular master Sun Xin is not a real general, and he doesn't know why martial arts are true, and their time is also limited, and they don't have time to slowly experience and grow, Sun Yong waited for his body to relax and return to normal, and then sat on a bundle of hay and thought about it.
Either give up the heavy armor for the time being, or you have to find a way to break through, otherwise if you encounter a tug-of-war and you are wearing armor, you are surrounded by the enemy, you can't break through, and you have to fight when you are surrounded, then you will be dragged to death and consumed.
Unless it is a transfer to a cavalry general, the cavalry is certainly a lot more powerful, but the kung fu on the horse, that also takes time, the spear of a lifetime of the knife and the moon stick, just a knife on the kung fu learning, it needs to be calculated in years.
Unless it is replaced with a mace and other stick weapons, just rely on the advantage of the body, the tricks are simple, but when you encounter a skilled general, you will be restrained to death, not to mention the gun, Sun Yong has tried, as the so-called true transmission of a sentence, false transmission of thousands of books, no one to instruct, he wants to rely on his own intelligence, from scratch to comprehend a peerless marksmanship, how difficult it is!
This is also the reason why Sun Yong chose to use a knife, the ring head knife is similar to the sword, the moon stick knife is a lifetime gun, and the sword is hidden with him: it means that it takes a month to learn to use a stick, a year to practice to learn to use a knife, and a lifetime to learn to use a gun; If you want to practice the sword well, you must always carry the sword with you and maintain the feeling of the hand. Otherwise, if you don't touch the sword for a few days, you won't feel it in your hands.
This also shows that the degree of difficulty in mastering various weapons is different, some require a month of training, some take a year, and some take a lifetime.
In terms of knives, guns, swords, and sticks, guns are the most difficult to master, and the number of marksmanship is incomparable with other weapon technologies.
Knives, swords and the like are between guns and sticks, the knife is a blade, the sword is a two-sided blade, the two are compared, mastering swordsmanship is more difficult than swordsmanship, and although the ring head knife is nominally a knife, it can be used as a sword, easy to get started, and it is the most suitable weapon for him at this stage.
has a certain power, can exert a certain skill, and the upper limit is also very high, if he changes to a weapon such as a mace, he must always wear heavy armor, of course, he can't give up now, this heavy armor still needs to be improved.
If the armor is replaced, the weight of the new armor and helmet is best reduced, not like this iron basin collar armor, just an airtight helmet weighs twelve pounds, counting the armor, shin armor, and weapons are nearly 100 pounds.
If the armor is lighter, he will be able to fight for a longer time, which is equivalent to the improvement of force, and at this time, the armor is not humane at all, for example, the better the armor, the more closed, the worse the heat dissipation.
And the more intense the body activity, the more heat is generated, and in the stuffy full-body armor, it is not impossible to be sunburned alive if it is summer.
When he thought about this kind of thing that had nothing to do with the current battlefield, Sun Zhi had already cleaned up the city, it was nothing more than a sweep, at this time, Sun Zhi ascended the city, entered the city tower, looked at the battlefield opposite Xiangshui, and did not interfere with Sun Yong.
Sun Yong subconsciously raised the wine bowl, but found that a small jar of wine had been drunk by him, and he couldn't be polite, so he asked directly: "Brother Zhi, what's the matter?" ”
Sun Zhi retracted his gaze from that side, turned his head and said: "Brother Yong, Huangfu Song is nowhere to be found, I speculate that this person has not seen a good opportunity, I am afraid that he has fled, and the Huang Zhong who was under Jiangling City before, and he has not seen it now, I see that there is no such person on the teacher's side, I speculate that this Huang Zhong's department is likely to be hidden somewhere, but it has to be guarded against."
If there is a mistake on the teacher's side, we will have no future at all! ”
Sun Yong observed the battle over there, silently watched about half a cup of tea, and then asked, "What time is it?" ”
"We started to attack the city at the beginning of the hour, and now it is about an hour or so, and now it should be about two minutes of the hour, and it will take about an hour or two to clear the thieves in the city."
"After an hour or two, I'm afraid it won't work, so I'll have to fight again."
Sun Yong got up and walked out of the city tower as he spoke, the large and small officials on the city wall rested on the ground, and the surrendered army had been collected in the city.
Seeing him come out, officials from near and far got up one after another, and even the surrendered troops gathered in the city and sat in a heap also scrambled to stand up and look up at Sun Yong's posture.
"At this time, it is still early, there are still three or four hours before dark, how can you sit in peace, today is the time to break the enemy, the marshal is fighting a bloody battle with the Han army twenty miles away, how can we watch?
Sun Yong stood on the female wall and said to the military officials who were resting in the change of formation: "Our army has already broken through this city by traveling thirty miles at night, and if we travel another twenty miles, we will make great achievements."
Now the marshal is fighting with the enemy, the enemy only has 10,000 people, and the cavalry is less than half of our army, the marshal can win sooner or later, and if my successor army is endless, the victory of Xiangyang will be able to help the marshal break through the enemy army as soon as possible!
This is a great achievement, how can all the warriors give it up, the big and small officials abandon the sundries, do not prepare dry food, bring weapons, and follow me to the east to capture and kill the Han thieves! ”
He said with his right arm raised: "Our army will win!" Huang Tian should stand! ”
At this time, Sun Zhi on the side will naturally echo in time, using his spiritual contagion, and shouting at this time: "Huang Tian should stand!" ”
Sun Yong joined forces, raised his arms and shouted together: "Huang Tian should stand!" ”
They raised their arms again and again to guide, at this time, a group of Yellow Turban Army, all grinning with a smile and cheering, this voice quickly spread throughout the city, Huangfu Song, who had already left the north gate, heard this voice, but his expression was cold and solemn, and he did not say a word.
The general of the defeated army, there is nothing to say, this is not the first time that he has been defeated, as long as his life is still there, he will kill it after the whole army, and when the time comes, none of his generations will be spared, and their heads will be temporarily stored.
"Go to the upper reaches of Xiangshui, open the sluice gate and release the water!"
Xiangshui was cut off, it was he who did it, there are thousands of soldiers and horses there, otherwise Xiangyang City would not have been captured so easily, it was originally to prevent the enemy from attacking with water, and now release the water, let these yellow turbans taste the taste, the city is scarce soldiers and horses, the yellow turbans have warriors to fight, when the yellow scarves easily climbed the city, Huangfu Song knew that he could not be as he thought, according to the enemy for three or five days.
Hate that Yu Shi is overwhelmed, if he is a little stronger, he can bring men and horses to support, and he will not be occupied by the Yellow Turban in the city, as long as he can't attack the city, then it is nothing more than a fight, resisting for three or five days is definitely not a problem, but now he can only abandon the city, waiting for the water to be released, after killing those Yellow Turban cavalry, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, he will definitely trap the Yellow Turban in this small city.
Sun Zhi didn't think of this at this time, although he had some wisdom, but the experience was not deep, although he had quick wisdom, but he was not as good as Huangfu Song and other battlefield generals, Sun Yong looked at everyone, listening to the sound of fighting in the city gradually decreased, as he raised his hand to suppress, the excited officials were emotional, and looked at Sun Yong's eyes with light.
Sun Yong smiled and said, "All the gentlemen will go out with me to meet the big handsome!" ”
