Chapter 44: Xingyang Defense Battle I
Snow covers the ground.
General Liu Jun trudged through the snow nest and advanced towards the towering bluestone city wall not far away. Cao Shen, the fifth official of Jiancheng Hou, wore his helmet and armor, and under the protection of a group of personal soldiers, commanded his men to advance towards the root of the city wall.
A rough ladder tied with wood was erected by a group of soldiers, leaning against the city wall. At the forefront, a bearded Liu Army commander was breathing in the heat, holding a sword in one hand and holding the ladder in the other, shouting and climbing towards the top of the city.
And up.
"Quick, rush forward, don't let Qin Gou escape!"
"Gale!"
The top soldiers under Cao Shen were all inexplicably excited, with strange expressions on their faces. They slaughtered the city——such an order was already familiar to them, and if they were massacred in Xingyang with more than 100,000 people,
Ayutthaya, what a shocking result that would be.
In the past, Qin general Bai Qi killed 600,000 Zhao troops in a trap, and became a famous general. Compared with this, the honor brought by being the leader of annihilating a city is definitely a lot. A name will be left in history, whether it is a good name or a good name.
Notoriety, for ordinary soldiers, is a great honor and military exploit.
On the city.
Li Yuan personally led a team of soldiers to guard the front of the north gate. Behind him, the banner with the word "Li" in Da Qin looked particularly solemn and solemn under the light of the early sun.
The main defense force of this section of the underground wall is composed of guests from Li Youfu and soldiers from Fanjia County. The number is about 1,600 to 700. These soldiers who havetily gathered together plus 160
Li Yuan's soldiers formed the main force to resist the attack of Cao Shen's 3,000 men.
Cooperating with this city defense force is another supply force composed of young people in the city, which is mainly responsible for transporting various materials needed at the city head. After Zhao Ben's forces were cleared, Fan Jia, Guan Yue and even Gongsun in Xingyang City
The underground forces controlled by the aunt showed a spirit of cooperation. This highly efficient operating mechanism made Li Yuan, who had seen the operation of a mechanized factory, find it a bit magical.
In the face of crisis, people's limited potential bursts out, and this is called a miracle. Facing the attack of tens of thousands of Liu Bang's troops, Li Yuan led a group of hastily assembled "miscellaneous troops" to begin the defense of Xingyang
war.
——.
Bai Guangji was very proud. He held his chest high, raised the flag symbolizing glory, and held the flag for General Li. This glorious task had always been performed by General Luo of the Cavalry Battalion. Now, Bai Guangji relied on his own
His military exploits made him stand out among the many soldiers.
"Jiujiao Lao Qin, restore our rivers and mountains -!" Different from Liu Bangjun's excited shouts, the Qin army's war song was low and desolate, with the momentum of fighting forward with all their lives.
"Qin Gou, go to hell!" On the ladder, Liu Jun's soldiers with long beards and beards had climbed to the battlements. They kept waving their sharp swords in their hands, trying to scare away the blocking guards. This kind of siege scene was very important to those who had experienced the East.
It is no stranger to Liu Jun veterans who have fought in the counties of Yongqiu, Dangjun and other places. He is quite confident that as long as he puts on a desperate posture, the fighting spirit of the guards will become weaker and weaker.
"kill!"
What responded to Liu Jun's ferocity was a sharpened bamboo spear. The Qin Army's bamboo spear soldiers who once made Liu Jun's soldiers change their minds after hearing it reappeared at the top of the city.
"Oops!" Liu Jun's soldier screamed strangely, and he sharply slashed the bronze sword in his hand, cutting off a section of the bamboo spear. However, before he could react, the bamboo spear grew another section and pierced the empty door.
The chest of Sergeant Liu was wide open.
"Poof!" The bamboo thorns were like arrows, penetrating the inner organs.
With blood-red eyes and a look of disbelief on his face, the fierce soldier fell down on his back unwillingly, and his broad body fell straight down, crushing the soldiers below him into the snow that was trampled into mud.
Unlike those princes who preserved their strength, let their direct troops hide behind, and relied on consuming miscellaneous cards to win the final victory, Li Yuan sent his most trusted soldiers from the beginning. He wanted to use his strength to prove that he was capable of guarding this place.
a city.
After being selected in Luoyang and trained in the Pingyin field, the soldiers of the personal camp have become familiar with the use of bamboo spears. For this new weapon that is simple to make but not weak in power, Bai Guangji and the others gave it a resounding name:
Killer gun.
Guns are used to kill people.
And when a bamboo gun is called a murder gun, you can imagine how shocking it will be.
Under Li Yuan's command and control, rows of sharp bamboo thorns quickly poked out of the battlements, allowing Liu Jun's generals on the ladder to hide. Even if a fierce one cut off a section of the bamboo spear, the remaining part was still there.
The guard's hands grew. If it were a bronze sword or beryllium, it would leave an empty door after blocking, but the bamboo spear was weak, making Liu Jun's soldiers who had no strength regret it. At this time, they began to realize
To Fan Kuai's mood at that time.
In field battles, the power of the bamboo spear was effectively brought into play, but in the city defense battle, with the barrier of the city wall and gully, the sudden power of the bamboo spear was doubtful.
——.
Under the corner of the inner city.
A group of young men and women were delivering bundles of sharpened bamboo poles to the top of the city. Chen Ping, dressed in short clothes, was also among the young men. Although he had decided to wait a little longer before making a decision, he was still a young man after all.
, after learning from Hou Xi that Li Yuan defeated Zhao Bi in less than an hour, Chen Ping's curiosity about Li Yuan prompted him to want to observe Li Yuan up close.
"The young man standing at the top of the city is not very old. He even looks a few years younger than himself. How can he be so calm in front of thousands of enemy troops?" Chen Ping watched the fierce killing at the top of the city.
In the scene, Li Yuan remained unmoved, but the flag behind him kept waving. This was the Qin army defending the city mobilizing troops from various places to reinforce the weak points that were fiercely attacked by Liu Jun.
"Brother Ping, help me quickly!" When Chen Ping was lost in thought, he was scolded by Qing Zhuang beside him. At this critical moment, any delay may lead to danger in the city.
What was handed to Chen Ping's hand was an ordinary bamboo thorn that was sharpened at one end. Chen Ping didn't understand. Could it be that the soldiers of Li Yuan's army who were guarding the front in the city relied on this kind of weapon to fight? This was just a weapon.
It's just a pole of bamboo, how could it defeat Liu Bangjun's bronze weapons?
Li Yuan didn't have time to explain Chen Ping's doubts. Cao Shen's army's attack had already entered the Guanjian period. When more and more Cao Shen's elite troops pressed forward, Li Yuan's weakness of not having many capable soldiers was exposed.
come out.
Although some guests and county soldiers are brave enough, they often lack cooperation with each other. When the strength of the troops is equal, lack of cooperation means failure.
"Come here, gather the drums and help us fight!"
Li Yuan shouted loudly and stepped down from the tower. Facing the unfavorable situation, his fighting spirit began to be ignited. The battle with Zhao Jun just now was just a warm-up exercise. Now, it is time to decide the outcome.
