Chapter 19 Internal and External Attack
"What's the situation?" On the head of Guangling City, Zhang Liao heard the footsteps behind him and knew that the captain he had just sent to check the military situation had come back. While asking, he stared at the camp tent of Yuan Shujun under the city, where several big tents were brightly lit, and there were faint songs and laughter.
"Now there are about 3,000 sergeants killed in battle, more than 1,000 people who are injured and can't fight, and there are more than 10,000 people who can fight." After answering, he handed Zhang Liao a cowhide bag full of water.
"Goo Dong!" After Zhang Liao took it, he took several mouths. After taking a heavy breath, he said, "The casualties are not very big. I estimate that Yuan Shu's side should have injured almost 20,000 in the past few days. They are so lively today. I guess Lei Book is rewarding the soldiers and preparing to work hard tomorrow.
"General, why don't we raid tonight and show them some color?" This Captain Li has been following Zhang Liao for several years, and he knows that his general has always liked to defend and make some raids. It's not time yet. Yuan Shu's morale is still relatively strong today. I guess that as long as we survive tomorrow, their morale will plummet, and the effect of the raid will be much better at that time. Zhang Liao also patiently explained to his old subordinate, and then sighed, "The Xuzhou sergeant is really the elite in the world. In addition to the elite soldiers of Danyang, the soldiers trained by General Zhao and Guan Zhang are also rare in the world. In contrast, Yuan Shu's soldiers are a group of crows.
As he sighed, he turned around. Zhang Liao patted a crossbow cannon beside him and couldn't help praising: "I didn't expect this crossbow gun to be so good. It can shoot dozens of huge arrows at a time, and sometimes one arrow can shoot through several people. With this divine weapon, he wants to capture Guangling with this point. That is, he is delusional, but he doesn't know who made it. After the original design of the crossbow gun, Zhao Feng and Lu Hao have undergone many improvements, and now they are really mass-produced in large quantities, and there are only more than 200 units in Xuzhou. Guangling is an important town, so Liu Bei is equipped with 50 units here. Of course, the design drawings are strictly confidential.
"I heard that it was developed by Zhonglang and Zhao Feng." Captain Li remembered what they said when he chatted with his colleagues yesterday, but then Captain Li suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "But General Zhang, there are not many these huge arrows now, and they can support them for three or four days at most."
"You stupid boy, can't you use your brain? Look at the arrow trough. It's so wide. Even if we don't have this huge arrow, we can sharpen a bamboo and shoot it out, and we can also kill the enemy, but the power will be less. Zhang Liao laughed and scolded. When Captain Li heard the words, his eyes lit up and hurriedly said, "General, I will immediately send someone to cut bamboo."
"Are you still waiting for you to think about it? I have sent 500 sergeants to cut bamboo and shoot arrows in the afternoon, and I will shoot them with this kind of bamboo arrow tomorrow. Zhang Liao was not angry. In fact, as Zhang Liao expected, Lei Bu has been attacking the city these days. Although it has suffered heavy losses, it has not even been able to climb a gate tower. Not only that, Yuan Shujun was also deeply shocked by the combat effectiveness shown by his opponents. Especially that kind of crossbow cannon, one shot is dozens of thick and long giant arrows, many times can nail people to the ground, which makes them scared, and their morale is inevitably getting lower and lower.
In the face of such a situation, Lei Bu had no other choice but to reward the soldiers as much as possible to stimulate their fighting spirit. While they were partying all night, a team quietly left the city of Pi, boarded the ship arranged by Xu Sheng, and quietly walked along the Huai River along Surrey to the Huai River. Only then got off the ship and stationed more than 20 miles west of Guangling City. Everything was almost noon.
"If the order goes down, the whole army should seize the time to rest. Send scouts, pay attention to the inspection of the four directions, and inquire about the news of Guangling County. Tonight, take advantage of the night to raid the rear army of the thunder book. After Zhao Feng got off the ship, Song Wei's generals hurriedly agreed and ordered to arrange people.
At this moment, Guangling City was committing suicide. Driven by the thunder book, groups of soldiers rushed to the head of Guangling City with cloud ladders, and then several rushers and Jing ron were slowly approaching. Of course, the defenders will not make them so relaxed. Arrows and rolling stones hit the soldiers on the ladder like raindrops, and at the same time, jars full of vegetable oil were also thrown at the rush car and wells.
"Wow!" Dozens of rockets were fired, and the well lynch and the rush car were immediately burned together. The rushing car turned back. The soldiers who were lit the cart retreated one after another, and then extinguished the flames on each other. There were no casualties except for burning the frame. However, the soldiers on the well were miserable. The wooden lower end of the well was ignited by oil cans and rockets, and the infantry that pushed the well could still run away, and the crossbowman standing on it to shoot arrows. But there was nowhere to escape, either burned to death or jumped down to death.
"Keep moving forward!" Not long after the fire was put out, the thunder book drove another wave of soldiers to rush forward and said, "Damn, these guys are really crazy!" Zhang Liao, who supervised the battle at the head of the city, did not have the leisure of last night. The robe on his body, which he commanded while dodging, had long been dyed red, and his left arm even had a few wounds. Come on, point the ant of the well at me and stone it!" Zhang Liao ordered to look up at the sun after this sentence. Now his head is a little to the west. As long as he lasts for two more hours, he can survive today.
Although Yuan Shu's morale has soared, Guangling City is still standing. Lei Bu was not in a hurry. He believed that there was a shortage of arrows in Guangling City. As long as he fought again tomorrow, he would be able to break through. So the remaining two hours were spent in a monotonous offensive and defensive battle, and it was not until the twilight came that the thunder book ordered to be closed.
"Damn it, I don't believe that 50,000 people can't take Guangling!" Lei Bu hated it, and it was even more painful. Yesterday, he said that he spent a lot of money to reward the soldiers. After a day of high-intensity siege, the army was already exhausted. After the troops were closed, they returned to their respective barracks and fell asleep one after another. Lei Bu was also bored. Even the singer didn't want to see it, so she went straight back to her camp to drink.
"General, listen clearly. Now Yuan Shu's army has returned to the camp to rest. The villain dared to take a few steps forward and could hear someone snoring in the barracks. In Zhao Feng's camp, a scout sent out in the afternoon came back to report. After the last sentence, it immediately caused a burst of sneer.
"Well, you go down!" Zhao Feng waited for him to retreat, and then turned to Song and Wei and said, "Tonight, our army will make rice for the second time, and the third time will set off. I led the cavalry first, and the two generals led the troops in. Fire first, and then kill people. I guess General Zhang Liao will also go out of the city to pick me up when he sees the fire.
"Just like this!" Song and Wei also made a promise and went down to prepare not to mention it. By the third watch, all four thousand horses were full, and now all of them quietly left the camp and rushed to the Yuanshu army camp 20 miles away. The horses' hoofs were wrapped in cotton buns, and the sound was suddenly greatly reduced. It was not until they rushed to the tent of Yuan Shu's camp for less than two miles before some people found Zhao Feng and others one after another.
"Enemy attack, ah!" The sentry at the middle of the village gate only had time to scream, but was stabbed in the throat by Zhao Feng, who rushed to him first. He only had time to scream and fell by the roadside. "Bang!" The door of the village, which was not closed, was opened by Zhao Fengshun, and then entered the village. Several infantrymen came forward to stop it when they heard the news, but they were either stabbed to death by Zhao Feng or bleeding from breaking their throats.
"Fire first, then kill!" While Zhao Feng greeted the sergeant behind him, he galloped his horse and raised the fire basin on the roadside to ignite the tent. Sergeant Yuan Shu came when he heard the news, and he had to put out the fire and stop it for a while, so he was in a hurry. Song Xian and Wei Xu, who followed, saw that Yuan Shu's camp was not tight, and they didn't even dig trenches around. They simply didn't squeeze the gate together, and directly cut through many fences to kill separately. Now Yuan Shu's rear army really blossomed everywhere.
"Who dares to break into my village?" Zhao Feng led the army to the middle army, and suddenly saw a general surrounded by people all the way to stop him. Zhao Feng didn't answer, but drove straight ahead to kill. The man was furious and patted the horse dance knife and looked at Zhao Feng.
"There is more strength and less skill!" Zhao Feng turned fast in his mind, and his hand was not slow. He put a shot on the other party's knife pole and opened the knife, and then poked into the other party's chest.
"Huh?" The man's expression was unbelievable, as if he couldn't believe that he was killed so easily. Zhao Feng didn't care about him and was waiting to drive the horse, but he saw the soldiers behind him running around one by one, shouting, "General Lei was killed!" General Lei was killed!"
"Dizzy, is he a thunder book?" Zhao Feng also couldn't believe his good luck. Then he ordered someone to cut off his head and hang it with a long pole to show the public, and ordered the army to shout, "The thunder book is dead, and the surrender will not be killed!" With the heart of the enemy, the other party is even more chaotic.
"I don't know which general relieved me?" Not long after, it was killed by the previous army, and the leader was Zhang Liao. Just then, he was about to make a sneak attack in the tower, only to find that there was a sudden fire in the enemy camp, and he quickly led the army out. As soon as he arrived at the Chinese army, Zhang Liao found that the other party was completely in chaos. Obviously, someone came to rob the camp, so he asked loudly.
"General Wen Yuan, it's me, Zhao Feng!" Zhao Feng replied immediately. Zhang Liao was overjoyed when he heard the words and hurriedly drove to the salute. I wanted to attack the enemy camp at night, but I didn't want to be robbed by the general. Even the thunder book was beheaded by the general. Zhang Liao is quite envious.
"Is Wen Yuan afraid that there will be no chance to make contributions in the future?" Zhao Feng asked with a smile, and Zhang Liao laughed when she was a little stunned. Quickly pass the order to chase and kill the enemy!" The general was killed and the camp was burned. At this time, Yuan Shu's army was already in chaos, and everyone fled in all directions. Zhao Feng and Zhang Liao rounded Song Xian and Wei Xu. The four led the army to chase dozens of miles away, and did not return to the camp until the sky was slightly bright.
is a service. In addition to the siege and robbery of more than 20,000 people, less than 3,000 people fled back to the Huainan base camp. The remaining 20,000 people were captured, and the leading general Lei Bu was killed. After hearing the news, Yuan Shu vomited blood in shock and recuperated for more than a month before he recovered. Since then, Yuan Shu has no longer dared to invade Guangling.
