Chapter 57: Siege Battle (2)
Time went back a moment ago, when the Song army's well railing car had just arrived at the city of Tengcheng.
At this time, the archers of Teng Kingdom no longer need to use fire arrows to attack the well railings outside the city. Because the well railings are very close, the soldiers of Teng Kingdom only need to throw the oil pot and torch over and directly ignite the well railings.
This saves a lot of effort.
However, Qiu Liang, a master of the Mohist school, noticed that inside the fired well railings, there seemed to be Song soldiers pouring water on the outer wall, so that the water dripping drips flowed down.
At first Qiu Liang thought that the Song Bing was foolish, but he gradually discovered that while Song Bing poured water on the inner wall of the well railing car, even though the outside of the well railing car was still burning, the spread of the fire suddenly slowed down.
"Did the wood suck water stop the fire from spreading?"
Qiu Liang frowned and thought, while his eyes stared at some chariots filled with barrels in the Song army outside the city. According to his observation, the barrels seemed to be filled with water, which was obviously used to guard against his fire attack tactics in Tengcheng.
"I actually asked Song Bing to splash water on the inside of the building to prevent the fire from spreading... The Gongshu family's son in the Song army is amazing."
Thinking of this, he told Teng Hu all his discoveries and guesses.
"Jiuzi said that the Song army is also guarding against us to burn the cart?"
After hearing Qiu Liang's words, Teng Hu frowned and said.
"Well." Qiu Liang nodded and said, "The intention of Song Jun is obviously that they only want to delay the destruction of those building cars by us. The longer the last, the more beneficial it is to them. If we cannot destroy these building cars as soon as possible..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a Teng soldier shouting in panic: "Song Army, the Song Army has increased its troops!"
Hearing this, Teng Hu and Qiu Liang turned their heads and looked outside the city. They saw that the last twenty or soccer cars were slowly coming towards the city wall in the Song army array far outside the city.
"It's not good."
Teng Hu frowned immediately.
You should know that at this moment, the Song army had nine well railings outside the city. Countless Song soldiers used these nine well railings to continuously attack the city walls, prompting the Teng soldiers on the city to fight desperately with them. This is already a very critical situation. If twenty more well railings were added, Teng City would be difficult to preserve.
"We have to find a way to destroy all the building cars as soon as possible!"
After thinking for a moment, Teng Hu said in a deep voice: "I will lead people out of the city and destroy the Song army's well railing car!"
Hearing this, everyone around him dissuaded him.
Seeing this, Teng Hu explained: "I see that the Song army's chariots are not solid. As long as I lead people to the underside of the chariot and use a sword to cut the ropes at the bottom of the chariots, those chariots will inevitably collapse and destroy themselves in an instant like the previous ones."
However, the generals of Teng's military, led by the battle, tried their best to dissuade Teng Hu. After all, Song soldiers were numerous and powerful. If Teng Hu led his army out of the city, he might be surrounded by Song soldiers. By then, Teng Hu would certainly be unable to escape, and Teng City would not be able to be protected.
During the argument, Teng Hu shouted impatiently: "Is there any other way?"
Everyone was silent when they heard this. Immediately, Bi Zhan walked to Teng Hu, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Teng, please let me go on your behalf."
When Teng Hu heard this, he looked at Bi Zhan. Seeing that the latter's eyes were sincere and firm, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The reason why Tengcheng was able to stick to this day was that in addition to the direct or indirect help from the Mo family disciples and Qi State, the main reason was that Bi Zhan and other people worked together to protect the country, even if they sacrificed their lives for it.
It's like the current battle.
After gently patting Bi Zhan's arm, Teng Hu said in a deep voice: "Bi Zhan, you are the one my father trusts, and I also trust you very much. I know that you regard me as your nephew and hope to die on my behalf... But why do you conclude that I have gone there but no return?"
"Horse Teng..." Bi Zhan dissuaded again with a worried look on his face.
"No need to say more." Teng Hu raised his hand and interrupted Bi Zhan's words.
To be honest, it’s not that Bi Zhan is not brave, but Bi Zhan is over fifty years old and his physical strength has begun to lose weight. If Teng Hu asks the former to go out of the city to destroy the Song army’s well railing car instead of him, then there will be no return.
Aside, Qiu Liang, a master of the Mo family, saw Teng Hu and Bi Zhan, argued, and offered advice: "It's better to do this. First, Bi Sima leads a team of soldiers to fight out of the city gate, and poses to destroy the Song army's carriage. At that time, Bi Sima pretends to be defeated and pretends to retreat into the city. In this way, the Song army will definitely attack the city gate wildly. Jieshi, Teng Hou will lead people to attack from the north or south of the city to sneak attack the rear of the Song army... Teng Hou and Bi Sima, what do you think?"
Teng Hu and Bi Zhan looked at each other after hearing this, thinking about the suggestions put forward by Qiu Liang.
After a while, Bi Zhan nodded and said, "Although this strategy is dangerous, it has great potential... The city gate is narrow. Even if the Song soldiers enter, I can still block it in the door with a little force. I am afraid that the Song soldiers' offensive is too fierce..."
"It's okay." Qiu Liang raised his hand and said, "Behind this city gate, there are nearly three miles of city walls. My Mo family disciples have built many "forts" early. Even if the Song army attacked the city wall, they could still be alone for a short time..."
"If you don't help, retreat to Zicheng (inner city)." Teng Hu followed Qiu Liang's words, then nodded and decided: "That's it!"
Everyone agreed and immediately opened the Xicheng Gate, Bi Zhan led a team of Teng soldiers out of the city, and acted as if they were about to attack the Song army.
I have to say that the soldiers of the Song army who were sieging the city never expected that Tengcheng would dare to open the city gate. They were caught off guard and destroyed two well railing vehicles by Bi Zhan.
However, after the Song army reacted, the Teng soldiers led by Bi Zhan could no longer resist it.
So Bi Zhan followed the situation and retreated to the city, showing signs of trying to close the city gate again.
The Song army was not willing to let Tengcheng close the city gate and attacked the city gate desperately. For a moment, the Song army's attack on the city wall decreased, and the focus of the attack was placed on the city gate.
And at this moment, Teng Hu was riding in a chariot and led a team of Teng soldiers out of the north of the city.
At that time, there were actually Song troops in the north of the city to restrain Tengcheng, but there were not many troops, only one thousand soldiers and five chariots. They were caught off guard and were defeated by Teng Hu.
After defeating the Song army in the north of the city, Teng Hu did not dare to stop and led his Teng army around the corner of the northwest of the city and rushed to the Song army in the front battlefield.
It is worth mentioning that when Teng Hu broke out from the northwest corner of Teng City and exposed his figure in front of the Song army, Sima Mengqing, the family of the Meng family, received a "reminder" from Meng Zhong, just sent his clan members to report the matter to Sima Jingcheng.
To be honest, if it were in the past, the army's Sima Jingye would probably disagree. After all, in his opinion, Teng City was already shaky under the attack of the Song army. How could Teng Hu take the initiative to fight without defending the city? You should know that the number of Song soldiers is more than four times that of Teng City.
But considering that Meng Zhong was the one who made the suggestion, Jing Ze hesitated a little.
After all, even he felt that this boy was quite talented and should not be aimless.
Under such circumstances, although Jing Zhen did not send troops to reinforce the left wing, he ordered people to pay attention from time to time.
However, what he never expected was that this incident was really caught by Meng Zhong. Teng Hu actually led hundreds of Teng soldiers to raid towards him.
Jing Zhen immediately ordered: "Tell me the order and ordered Sima "Wenxin" to lead people to support the flanks and surround Teng Hu!"
Yu Sima, the general second only to the Sima of the Army, generally has two people in a military unit—the position is equivalent to the deputy general.
As the Sima of the Army, Jing Shi also had two Simas under his command, one was called "Kou Zhan", who was commanding the generals attacking Teng City at this moment, and the other was "Wenxin". Before receiving Jing Shi's order, the latter had actually noticed Teng Hu's team and ordered the left wing and the soldiers of the clans in the formation to attack to resist Teng Hu.
The Montessori clan also received a general order from this person during this period.
"Everyone is ready to fight!"
With the order from Sima Mengqing, all the people of the Mongolian clan were tense and focused.
"go ahead!"
Under the order, the Mongolian clan soldiers and chariots advanced first, and the infantry followed closely.
At this time, the Teng soldiers led by Teng Hu had already crashed into the team of the Le family soldiers and other families. Amid the howling howling of ghosts, the Le family, Xiao family and other families were quickly defeated by the Teng soldiers and were in a state of disastrous defeat.
Even though they were far away, Meng Zhong, Meng Hu and others could hear Teng Hu's loud roar: "Kill! Kill!"
"Is this brave soldier from Teng State?"
Meng swallowed his saliva and said in panic.
Hearing this, Meng Zhong held the halberd in his hand and said nothing.
I have to say that even Meng Zhong was afraid of this kind of life-and-death battle for the first time. Fortunately, Sima Mengqing's words at this time calmed them down: "Don't panic! The number of Teng soldiers is not as large as us, not to mention that they defeated the Le family and the Xiao clan soldiers were already exhausted. As long as everyone obeyed the orders, they could defeat them!... The battle chariot convoy, lined up first, and the infantry followed closely!... Kill!"
With Meng Qing's order, the Montessori clan had about sixteen chariots arranged neatly and rushed towards the oncoming Teng soldiers.
Behind the chariot, the Montessori infantry stepped out their legs and roared and launched a charge.
"kill--!"
Amid the deafening shouts, Meng Zhong stood on the left side of the chariot, holding the spear tightly with his hands.
His mission is to protect Meng Hu, who is driving the chariot. The real combat power of his chariot is Meng Wu, who is standing on the right side of the chariot at this moment.
"Ahu! Drive the chariot! Azhong, protect Ahu!"
Meng Wu shouted loudly, the young leader of the Meng family had lost his composure for the first time.
It's approaching!
Nearer!
Those Teng Bin are already close!
The most current Teng soldier stabbed a spear towards the chariot.
"A Zhong! A Zhong!... Meng Zhong!"
Under Meng Wu's roar, Meng Zhong subconsciously stabbed the halberd in his hand.
The next moment, warm blood squirted on his face, making him tremble for a moment.
Chapter completed!
