Chapter 8 Over conquering Huiji 3
The reason why Huiji fell into such a situation this time has nothing to do with the weak command and dispatch of our army. The generals of the four armies are in their respective armies. Although Liulaozhi is the nominal general, except for his son-in-law's elegance, others don't care about his general order at all.
Military is a matter of life and death. Real obedience and nominal obedience are completely different in war. In view of the countless examples of generals often being elbowed by generals in the history of the State of Jin, he had to take a soft approach to other generals when issuing military orders. As a result, there is a situation where the order is not good and the order is not strict.
Liu Jaozhi hated this deeply, but there was nothing he could do.
After listening to me, Liu Laozhi saw that everyone had no opinion. He waved his hand and said, "That's it. By this time, the soldiers in the southern camp had set out for the west. Deyu also immediately returned to the battalion and sent troops to the west of the city to set up an ambush and interception. The others returned to the camp as soon as possible. If nothing happens, rest and stand by."
Everyone was ordered to leave the Chinese army.
The cold wind hits people in winter. It has snowed twice this month. People are on the horse, but they dare not run too fast, otherwise they may freeze if they haven't returned to camp if they are blown by the cold wind.
The wall of Huiji is gray and white. The gray ones are wall tiles, and the white ones are the frost formed after the morning fog falls. The ground at the foot of the city wall is covered with a thin layer of ice, which looks like water from a distance. There is neither water nor ice in the moat. Yes, just fill in the corpse.
The speed of burying the body is far less than the process of the war. Fortunately, in winter, those bodies can remain dead without rotting. Ten or twenty of these bodies were piled up together and covered with a thin layer of soil. As soon as the snow and frost fell, the thin soil also became extremely hard. The sacrificed soldiers lay in this temporary cemetery.
The initial pain and tears have dissipated in your life-and-death battle. Everyone only has a knot in their hearts and can't bear to touch it. Because with a slight touch, the pain will spread all over the body.
The cold weather is very bad for us.
Whether it is our army outside the city or the thief army in the city, the winter costumes are not complete. Originally, I thought that the city was rich in materials and they would be better, but when they looked at the thief soldiers in the city holding long halberd and wearing thin clothes trembled in the wind. It can be seen that the siege has been long, and the city has reached the point of barely supporting.
If we can't break through Huiji City and withdraw from the army tonight, it will indeed be a failure.
It's getting late. After the second update, there were fewer and fewer lights in our barracks. Before long, except for the surroundings of the camp and the camp, the rest of the lights were extinguished.
In the night, 3,000 figures are silently lining up in a formation, waiting for the siege order at three o'clock.
The thieves in the city are very vigilant. Although the main force of our army was well hidden, it seemed that the thieves knew that there would be a new round of siege at night, so the city gradually gathered more people. Some people are still looking down far away from the lantern.
During this period, the thief soldiers have been familiar with the tactics of our army. They are also very good at dealing with the strategy of attacking the East and the West. Therefore, the confusion we made tonight did not seem to confuse the thieves. However, the thieves may know that there will be a siege tonight, but they must not know that this will be the most tragic and desperate battle.
The thieves in the city waited nervously to attack the city as usual, as if a man was watching the enemy aiming at him with a bow, but he could only fight and could not escape.
The night is like a thick quilt, covering the earth tightly without leaving any gaps. Covering this quilt is not warm, but cold.
The war is on the verge of breaking out, but fortunately the initiative is in our hands.
Near the third update, the city suddenly became noisy, and the faint sound of weapons collided with the wind. This is a signal to start the siege. The most noisy sides are the east and south, while the most fierce offensive is the east and west sides. The noise in the south is to lure the enemy, and the silence in the west is to annihilate the enemy.
One order in the dark, the whole team began to attack!
More than a dozen ladders were set up by the soldiers in the array and moved quickly towards the city wall. The thieves in the city hurriedly poured bows and arrows, hot oil, rolling wood and stones into the city. The city was suddenly killed and injured. But such casualties did not stop the speed of the siege.
The battalion officer sat by the moat with a knife, and I commanded dozens of people to continuously transport bows and arrows and stones to the front line and hit the city head together. In front are 100 crossbowmen divided into two teams, and behind are four catapults. For a while, the arrows and stones were soar that the soldiers dared not probe their heads.
This battle of bow and arrow is the most powerful since the siege. At this time, the thief also realized that this attack was far more fierce than any time in a month.
In fact, tonight's siege is far from being fierce and fierce. The only word that can be used is "cruel". At this point, the so-called strategic and tactical considerations and the preservation of strength have been completely ignored. Now all we have to consider is "no matter what" and "at no cost". Even the soldiers at the bottom realized that we had no room for manoeuvre except to break through the city.
The soldiers who attacked the city at the head were extremely tragic. What they suffered was not only the swords and swords of the enemy, but also arrows, arrows, and even throwing stones from our army.
The justice of war and secular morality have lost the meaning of exploration at this time. Everyone's eyes turned red and just went to attack the city. There was no other idea in their minds except to break the city.
Just as the battle was extremely fierce, a war report came from the ambush point in the west: the elegant reinforcement Sun Wuji's army was also defeated by Xu Daofu. Xu Daofu's reinforcements sent to Huiji marched forward, and as a result, they were ambushed by our army. Gao Yazhi, who was defeated, also took the opportunity to attack the reinforcements from behind. Although the two sides have killed you and died, at least Xu Daofu's reinforcements will not be able to reach the city of Huiji for a while.
After reading the emergency report, I only said, "I know." Just let the messenger go down and rest.
At this time, it is important to break the city. I just hope that the ambush of our army and the pursuers of the elegant army can be delayed for a while. Even if Xu Daofu defeated the ambush and killed from behind, we could only respond to the battle with all our strength.
No matter how strong Xu Daofu's troops are, if the city is broken, he can only leave;
No matter how weak his troops are, if the city can't be broken, it can only be our army that will leave.
At nearly four times, our army had broken through three stacks from the west. In addition to one stack that has been boarded by more than a dozen people and firmly guarded by us, the other two stacks have been repeatedly contested by the enemy and our armies.
When the camp officer was about to rush through the moat again to supervise the battle, he saw the thief soldiers guarding the mouth dispersed. At this time, four or five stacks in the south were quickly broken through.
