Chapter 157 Pingxiang Defense 6

After Jia Rong said some words to encourage the soldiers, he walked down the city wall. Zhang Wei followed Jia Rong closely. The leader of the Guard was Zhang Yi, a Han soldier, and he also became this position after many tests. The selection of the leader of the Guard was very strict. The standard of Li Li's selection was not just In terms of force, it is more of a test of wisdom.

Jia Rong did not express any objection to Zhang Yi's position as the leader of the Guards. The deputy leader of the Guards was Ula, a member of the Ulan clan.

Jia Rong was injured on the battlefield. Zhang Yi, the leader of the pro-guards, blamed himself. Three hundred guards walked in the crowd without the arrogant look of the past.

According to statistics, there are about 3,000 Qiang soldiers who died in this war. I don't know that the injured side guarding the city has always taken advantage. One to three, according to this ratio, the army can only leave more than 20,000 rebels at most after fighting. Moreover, today, the rebels almost gained a foothold on the wall, which is The most deadly thing is that when the rebels stand on the city, the defense of the city will become a hand-to-hand battle, which is also due to the lack of manpower on the side defending the city.

Jia Rong also wants to encourage the people in the city to join the battle, but the current situation is obviously inappropriate, and the militia can only be used as an assistant for the time being. Today's rebels are not a group of mob under the leadership of Han Sui. Leting ordinary people go up the city wall is tantamount to letting them die, and it will also affect the defending army. The cooperation.

It's too cowardly to let these elite soldiers of the Xiliang Army die on the wall like this. What's more, the Xiliang Army is basically cavalry. In the defense of the city, it is not as important as the trapped camp led by Li Shun. The soldiers in the trapped camp are best at fighting. A trapped soldier in the camp fights three rebel soldiers on the wall. It's not a problem at all. In the defense of the city, Li Shun's pressure is the least, and even assisted Jiang Yu and some people from Ximen in today's defense of the city.

Jia Rong thought deeply about today's battle against the city on the way back to the county government, thinking about how to get the greatest advantage.

"Cavalry!" Most of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army are cavalry. Why don't they use cavalry in the battle of defending the city? The infantry can defend the city, and the cavalry can do the same, provided that they can run horses in Pingxiang City.

Jia Rong hurried back to the city, took a closer look at the wall of Pingxiang City, and found that it was completely okay. After figuring this, Jia Rong's mood also became much better.

On the third day, the rebels launched a fierce attack on Pingxiang, which was more brave than yesterday. Yesterday's siege made the rebels see hope, and the news of Jia Rong's injury gave the rebels greater hope. Han Sui expected that if it goes on like this, Pingxiang City will be broken in less than three days, but the losses of his own army It will also be very big. Han Sui believes that it is worthwhile to eliminate Jia Rong, a nominal famous Han general. Anyway, most of the soldiers consumed are Qiang's army.

As in the past, the attacking soldiers held their shields and carefully climbed up the ladder, greatly slowing down the speed of the siege. A ladle of s ladle was poured down. Although it did not achieve great results, it made the siege of the rebels.

The thrust of the fall of the boulder was enough to smash all the soldiers on the ladder, and then the Han army defending the city could easily overthrow the ladder. The rebels did not have a more advanced siege weapon, but could only rely on human advantage. The gate was blocked and could not break through the door at all.

After the siege lasted for an hour, many rebel soldiers climbed on the wall again. Compared with yesterday, the attack was faster. Han Suijian in the rebel camp climbed the wall and hurriedly ordered to beat the drum to cheer.

The dull sound of drums hit the hearts of every soldier who was attacking the city. The sound of drums made their blood boil and accelerated the pace of the siege. The rebels climbed the wall, and the effect of rolling feces became smaller. For a moment, there were more and more Qiang soldiers on the wall.

The rebel soldiers who attacked the city could obviously feel that the Han army defending the city was much weaker than yesterday's resistance. It was found that such a situation undoubtedly contributed to the arrogance of the rebel soldiers.

After Jia Rong killed a soldier who attacked the city wall again, he ordered Zhang Wei beside him: "The personal guard charge!"

Three hundred already prepared cavalrymen launched an attack in the direction of the city wall, riding on a war horse. An indescribable confidence filled the chest of the guard. Three hundred cavalry attacked the rebel soldiers who attacked the city wall in three waves.

Taking advantage of the horse's momentum, only two waves of charge wiped out the rebels who attacked the wall. Although there will be some accidental injuries during this period, the overall record is very good.

The wall of Pingxiang City is quite wide and can withstand the charge of two cavalry. The effect is not as big as the battle on the flat ground. After the charge of 300 guards, the rebel soldiers who attacked the city have not yet reacted. They are completely stunned by this method again. In their cognition, the horses are all rushing on the ground. Feng, how can you charge on a war horse when you get to the wall?

This situation also happened on the other three walls. The unprepared rebel soldiers were beaten. The best cooperation was Li Shun in the east, who was unparalleled in the camp, and occasionally with the charge of cavalry, there was no pressure to fight against the rebels who attacked the city.

After the rebels on the city wall were eliminated, the rebels' offensive slowed down. If they want to attack the city wall, they have to pay a certain price. Although Pingxiang City is small, it is also a great obstacle.

A day passed quickly. Compared with yesterday, the defenders obviously felt a sharp decrease in pressure, and the casualties of rebel soldiers were greater than yesterday. Basically, the surviving soldiers had several heads behind each person's name, which was their result.

The defense of the city paid more than 500 casualties, resulting in more than 3,000 enemy soldiers and casualties. Compared with more than 1,000 soldiers yesterday, such a result is very gratifying. No matter how powerful the rebels are, they can't help fighting like this. What's more gratifying is that the casualties of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army have been significantly reduced.

On the fourth day, the rebels were still repulsed. After yesterday's running-in, the defenders in the city cooperated more tacitly with the cavalry, and the casualties became smaller. In contrast, the losses of the rebels in the siege were gradually increasing.

The bravery of the cavalry and infantry made the soldiers guarding the city see hope, especially Xu Huang. After three days of defending the city, his awe for Jia Rong was even deeper. Previously, he joined the Xiliang army after Jia Xu's introduction. In a hurry, he followed the army to Pingxiang, and his understanding of Jia Rong was only a situation. According to the legend of the soldiers, after experiencing Jia Rong's strategy and bravery, Xu Huang has accepted Jia Rong in his heart and obeyed Jia Rong in the defense of the city for a few days.

On the fifth day, the rebels stopped attacking and only surrounded Pingxiang City. In the siege for four consecutive days, the rebels suffered more than 15,000 casualties. Such losses were unacceptable to the rebels. Jia Rong's method of riding on the wall was difficult for the rebels to crack for a while. It can only be stalemate like this.

For three consecutive days, the rebels outside the city were completely honest. Pingxiang City was like a tightly shruning hedgehog, making the rebels unable to say it.

On the sixth day, the rebels launched a more fierce attack.

Not long after the siege, a general patrolling the city hurried to Jia Rong's side.

"General, I heard a lot of noise in the city, like rebels digging things underground."

Jia Rong didn't dare to neglect. No wonder today's rebel siege was just thunderous and heavy rain. It turned out that he wanted to play with the shadows.

It has been three days since the rebels dug a tunnel. Seeing that they are going to dig into the city today, they will be able to take Pingxiang in one fell swoop. This is also Han Sui's last resort.

As soon as a rebel soldier showed his head, he was killed head-on by the already prepared defenders. Then some lit rotten firewood was thrown in. The soldiers behind the tunnel were coughing in it. The thick smoke filled the soldiers in the tunnel could not distinguish between east, west, north and south. They trampled on each other and suddenly became chaotic.

Stealing chickens can't eat rice, and digging tunnels does not get the ideal effect. On the contrary, the rebels lost a lot of military strength.

The Chinese army's big account, from Han Sui's face, the generals under the account could not feel the frustration after the failure of the siege. Han Sui's face still maintained a faint smile, as if the failure of the siege had nothing to do with it. Even the final tunnel failed, Han Sui just praised Jia Rong.

After looking around, he smiled and said, "What do the generals think of the long-term attack of Pingxiang City?"

After four days of siege, all the rebel generals did not dare to despise Jia Rong in Pingxiang City. The method of walking and defending the city made them very helpless. The casualties of the soldiers were not acceptable to them, so they could only stop the attack on Pingxiang.

Lou Shan beside Han Sui said, "The garrison in Pingxiang City can't shrink. We can give up Pingxiang and directly attack the land of Sanfu and attack Chang'an. It is expected that Jia Rong of Pingxiang will try his best to rescue, and then it will be time to destroy Jia Rongjun."

Loushan's words were supported by most of the generals. The most important thing for the Han Dynasty was the emperor's order. The rebels attacked Chang'an. As long as the Han Emperor's imperial edict, Jia Rong had to come forward to rescue obediently and lost the advantage of the city wall. It was not enough to defeat the thousands of people who defeated Jia Rong.

Lou Shan's words made Han Sui a little moved. In this way, the speed of marching can be greatly accelerated. As long as enough people are placed in the city along the way, he will not be afraid of Jia Rongjun's attack.

Li Wenhou was the first to stand up and agree. Li Wenhou was eager to see that he did not engage with Jia Rongjun.

Bian Zhangyan said, "Jia Rong is a general of the Han Dynasty. The attacking generals have also seen his talent in the past few days. Why don't you persuade him into the coalition with emotion? It can not only greatly weaken the military strength of the Han court, but also get Pingxiang in vain, and get such a general, killing three birds with one stone."
