The Red Scarf Army strictly guarded the city and refused to fight. Before noon, the Yuan soldiers attacked the city from all sides. Dakui looked at the city wall and saw a huge crowd of Yuan soldiers. The vanguard was a huge ram car, with hundreds of people pushing and guarding it. The rest of the Yuan soldiers
The soldiers were like moving ants, carrying ladders in groups and rushing towards the city wall. When the Yuan soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city, there was less than an arrow.
Yuan soldiers suffered numerous casualties.
When the Yuan soldiers rushed closer, they set up a ladder and climbed up the city. When they were about to climb to the top of the city, rolling logs and stones were thrown from the city. For a moment, the Yuan soldiers wailed like dumplings and fell down the city.
At this time, I saw two teams of cavalry with more than 10,000 men each charging towards the city wall from a distance. Before they reached the bottom of the city, they made a half-circle along the city wall.
The cavalry on horseback were already firing their bows and arrows while circling, trying to suppress the Red Scarf Army on the city and cover the siege team as they climbed up the city. These cavalry were very skilled in riding and shooting, and they also had powerful bows. From time to time, there were arrows on the city wall.
The red scarf soldier was hit by an arrow and fell down the city wall.
Dakui stood on the city wall holding a long pole and a scratching hook. When he saw a ladder put up on the top of the wall, he used the scratching hook to lift down the city. He was almost injured by arrows several times and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. At this time, he was more than twenty feet away from Dakui's left side.
At this place, Yuan soldiers unexpectedly attacked the city. The red scarf soldiers guarding the city immediately fought with the Yuan soldiers. When Da Kui saw this, he dropped his scratching hook, drew his sword and rushed forward.
The general who was responsible for supervising this area had died in the battle. When Da Kui arrived, the red scarf soldiers saw that it was actually a partial general. They felt emboldened and everyone shouted in unison to fight with all their strength. Da Kui didn't know how to use a sword, so he just saw Yuan Yuan.
The soldiers wielded their swords and chopped randomly. Although they were unorganized, they were still very powerful.
In a moment, the dozen yuan soldiers who had attacked the city wall were thrown to the ground by the red scarf soldiers.
The Yuan soldiers under the city were still rushing forward and climbing up the city wall, and the red scarf martyrs fought hard. Da Kui saw that the long knife in the hand of a red scarf soldier had been broken, and he was still fighting for his life with several stab wounds. Finally, he desperately hugged a Yuan soldier.
The soldiers fell off the city wall together. All the red scarf men were so excited that they would rather lose their lives than lose an inch of the city wall.
At this time, horn horns sounded in the camp of the Yuan soldiers. The sound of the horns came from far away, and the Yuan soldiers who were fighting for their lives to climb the city retreated. Another group of Yuan soldiers, totaling 20,000 people, set up their formation two arrows away from the city.
.Not long after, a group of common people, totaling 3,000 people, were escorted out from behind the square formation of the Yuan soldiers. The Yuan soldiers drove these common people towards the city wall. These were common people from nearby villages and towns in Bozhou.
The Yuan soldiers dispersed the people and ordered them to squat on the ground. Then the trumpets sounded again, and the Yuan soldiers from the two square formations shouted and charged towards the city wall again like a tide. The Red Turban soldiers on the city were filled with indignation and had no choice but to wait.
As Yuan soldiers approached the city, they fought hand to hand.
As a result, the Yuan soldiers did not have the threat of arrows from the city head, and their casualties were greatly reduced. One after another, screaming like evil wolves, they rushed towards the city wall and climbed up the ladder to the city head. Rolling logs and rocks rained down on the city, but they still
The Yuan soldiers' offensive could not be reduced slightly. When the siege battle was in full swing, boiling oil was poured on the city.
Many Yuan soldiers who climbed the city were scalded to death. Then several torches were thrown on the city, and for a while the city walls turned into a sea of fire and hell. From time to time, people on fire ran out of the sea of fire, and they only ran a few steps.
They collapsed, and a large number of Yuan soldiers were burned to death in the sea of fire under the city wall.
When Da Kui saw that the Yuan soldiers had retreated temporarily, he looked at the faces of the Red Scarf Army officers and soldiers around him, all of whom had tired faces. He thought that the Yuan soldiers would attack again when the fire was extinguished, but the garrison on the city only numbered more than 5,000 people. He wondered why this was the case.
? There are nearly 100,000 Red Scarf troops in the city. Why are there so few soldiers defending the city? While thinking about it, a messenger soldier ran up the city defense ladder. When he saw Da Kui, he handed over his hand: "General Zhang, the marshal has asked General Zhang to go to the center as soon as possible.
Military meeting." Dakui said, "I'll go right away." He got off the city and went straight to the Central Military Meeting Hall.
Liu Futong was discussing the military plan with several generals at this time. When he saw Da Kui coming, he said, "General Zhang has come just in time." Da Kui asked, "What does the marshal want from me?" Liu Futong looked Da Kui up and down and asked, "Can the Yuan soldiers retreat?
Dakui returned: "Retreat. I'm wondering if they are waiting for the fire to die out before attacking the city. There are too few defenders on the city now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it. Come and tell the marshal whether more soldiers should be added."
.”
Liu Futong smiled and said: "No need, I have called you here this time for something else." He paused and said: "Now that the Yuan soldiers have not attacked the city again, you should immediately mount your red horse and go out from the north gate.
Go around the city and then enter through the north gate. If there are enemy troops blocking you along the way, don't fight." Dakui didn't think much and turned around to leave. Liu Fu said, "Wait a minute, take my badge. Otherwise, you won't be able to get out of the city.
"As he said this, he took off his waistband and handed it to Dakui. Dakui took the waistband and went out.
Zhang Kai heard the conversation, and as soon as Da Kui left, he asked, "What does Marshal mean by this? Isn't it true that General Zhang is going to die?" Liu Fu said, "No, do you know who owns his horse?" Zhang Kai replied
I don't know, Liu Fu said: "This horse is the beloved mount of Badulu, named Chiyun Zhuifeng. Badulu regards it as a treasure, and General Zhang will leave unless he is captured alive, but there is no fear for his life."
.”
The conversation changed and he added: "If the answer fails, Badulu will send someone to seize it if he knows that his BMW appears. If it is not possible, he will come and get it himself. This is the turning point." Kai Zhang asked: "What if General Zhang is captured?
, what should we do?" Liu Futong held his beard and smiled and said: "This red cloud is chasing the wind at a very fast speed and can travel thousands of miles in a day. Who among the Yuan soldiers can stop it? Even if something goes wrong with the horse, General Zhang still has a unique skill. I'm sorry.
Wuyou." Zhang Zhang asked curiously: "What kind of stunt is it?" Liu Futong laughed and said: "He can run faster than Chi Yun chasing the wind." Zhang Zhang was stunned for a moment, thinking that there is someone in the world who can run faster than a horse.
Is it fast? And it’s a thousand-mile horse.
Dakui left the military hall and went straight to his tent. He carried a bag and carried a pole and left the tent to go to the stables. At this time, Hongyun was lying on the hay leisurely. When he saw Dakui, he stood up and snorted. Dakui walked over and stroked him.
Holding the horse's head, he said: "Hongyun, you will be served here every day when you eat and drink. Don't be so fat that you can't run. I'll run around with you out of the city." After that, he untied the horse from the wooden post and led Hongyun.
After getting out, he walked outside and picked up more than a hundred stones from the ground and put them in a cloth bag.
Dakui got on his horse and rode straight to the north gate. When he arrived at the city gate, he showed his belt card and said: "I have received the commander's order to leave the city. Open the city gate quickly." The city guard took the belt card and checked it carefully to confirm that it was correct.
The guard guard said: "Open the city gate." He turned to ask Dakui: "The Yuan soldiers are attacking the city, but why did General Zhang leave the city?" Dakui said: "I don't know, the marshal ordered me to lock it first when I go out.
Wait for me to come back." The general said, "Okay, General Zhang, be careful."
