The use of heavy firearms in sieges was unique to the Jiangzuo Dynasty among the Five Kingdoms of Kyushu. Three balls of flames burst out from the wall of Dajian Village, and the huge explosion made the soldiers of the Later Han Dynasty suffer from tinnitus.
They were staggering, swaying this way and that, crouching or leaning, with a look of pain on their faces.
When Zhao Boyue heard the earth-shattering noise, his heart tightened. He raised his head and looked outside the tent, hoping that the messenger would report the battle situation on the city wall as soon as possible.
Although he was anxious in his heart, his body was still as calm as a mountain. He knew that as a general, he must have the mind to remain calm even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him. If he panics at this time, the morale of the soldiers in the stronghold will inevitably be empty. He must be calm.
, he needs to calm down and let the whole army know that he, Zhao Boyue, is enough to deal with everything that happens.
"Report to the general, Jiang Zuo's army launched a fierce attack on our army. They blasted three big holes in the city wall. I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand their next attack." The messenger knelt down, with black ash on his face and armor.
There were also traces of blood on it.
Zhao Boyue's face was immersed, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he looked at the appearance of the messengers. He knew that the three loud noises just now caused a lot of casualties in the middle of the army. He said in a deep voice: "Assemble the garrison in the village.
Gather at the damaged part of the city wall, and once Jiang Zuo's army surges in, kill them on the spot."
"Yes, General!" The ordering soldier stood up and hurriedly left the tent.
As soon as the ordering soldiers left, Yan Zhuo stepped forward and asked, "Does the general plan to transfer most of the defenders to this side of the trail for defense?"
Zhao Boyue looked at Yan Zhuo. This young man in black was very majestic. At first glance, he felt that this person was not simple, so he spoke out what he was thinking: "Yes, the city wall is about to be broken, and Jiang Zuo's army will definitely take advantage of the situation and rush in.
Moreover, they launched such a fierce attack on the side of the small road, which proves that the main force of Jiangzuo is located on this side of the small road."
Yan Zhuo nodded. He knew what Zhao Boyue said was reasonable, but he always felt that since the Beifu soldiers had already suffered a loss on the trail, there was no need to attack fiercely from the trail and launch the attack in such a hurry.
"General, I am worried that there will be a sneak attack by Jiangzuo soldiers on the Yizhou plank road. I would like to borrow the general's five hundred soldiers to guard the Yizhou plank road."
Zhao Boyue looked at Yan Zhuo and frowned. He was a general who defended the city. He was naturally pursuing calmness, and all he thought about was how to securely defend the city. Therefore, he couldn't help but make a calculation in his mind: Five hundred sergeants, this number
But there are quite a few. If Jiangzuo's army attacks the stronghold from the small road, it will be unstable without these 500 people. But this is what the young man said. If the Beifu soldiers really enter the stronghold from the Yizhou plank road, they will not be able to attack the stronghold from the small road.
The inside should be coordinated with the outside, this Dajian Mountain is in danger, but I wonder if this young man can treat these five hundred soldiers well?
"Young Master Yan, I'm afraid 500 sergeants won't work. I don't have enough manpower in the army, so I can only assign 100 sergeants to you." Zhao Boyue said this and then changed his words, "I can allocate 150 soldiers to you.
Guarding the plank road, do you dare to go?"
Do you dare to go?
——The method of stimulating generals.
"I know that the general is worried. There are 150 people and nearly 400 people among my brothers. I dare to go!"
After hearing Yan Zhuo's promise, Zhao Boyue issued an order to He Yingxiong beside him: "Ying Xiong, please order one hundred and fifty soldiers to guard the Yizhou Plank Road with Young Master Yan. There must be no mistake!"
"It's the general!" He Yingxiong lowered his head and said.
Zhao Boyue watched everyone leave, his face as usual, his body as tall as a mountain, heavy and restrained. The Yizhou plank road side is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is not the main force of the Beifu soldiers to attack, and these more than 400 people should be enough to deal with it. But the side of the trail is easy to defend.
, if the city wall is breached, it may be difficult to deal with Beifu's heavy cavalry once they enter the stronghold.
With this thought in mind, he called to the guard at the door: "Get a sword and wear armor!"
Wearing hard armor, Zhao Boyue strode to the front of the formation with the wind blowing under his feet. He held his sword and stood facing the wind. The murderous aura rose with the wind, blowing the red tassel on his helmet and the white beard on his chin. A pair of sharp eyes like an eagle looked into the distance.
Jiang Zuo's military formation.
"Soldiers, guard the city with me!"
When the sergeant of the Later Han Dynasty saw the general standing on the city wall guarding the city with him, his military spirit suddenly burned like a raging fire, and his voice was like a thunderbolt: "I am willing to follow the general!"
Just when the Hou Han army was excited, Wen Tian lowered his order and launched another round of fierce attacks.
Similar to what Zhao Boyue thought, Jiangzuo's army once again sent out heavy-attack crossbow chariots, completely opening up the city wall, and then the heavy cavalry used the cover of the crossbowmen to launch a fierce offensive towards the gap in the city wall.
Zhao Boyue watched Jiang Zuo's cavalry attack and ordered: "Move the hot oil to the gap in the city wall, and the guards behind the wall will line up to fight, and the crossbowmen will fire arrows!"
Three military orders were issued at the same time. Although the Later Han army looked embarrassed, they still prepared countermeasures in an orderly manner.
Zhao Boyue looked at the bows and arrows fired by the Beifu Army, and then looked at the number of their cavalry charging, and thought: "This round of arrow rain has more than 500 arrows, and the number of cavalry is also more than 500. In addition, the leader
The infantry should have 3,000 soldiers, so this side should be the main direction of Jiangzuo's attack, and there are not too many troops scattered."
As he was thinking this, the heavy cavalry had already attacked the city.
According to Zhao Boyue's instructions, the sergeant of the Later Han Dynasty first poured hot oil, startling the horses of the Beifu soldiers, and asked them to block the gap. Then he ordered the soldiers behind the city and the crossbowmen on the wall to strangle him. In an instant
During this period, Jiang Zuo's cavalry suffered dozens of casualties.
Seeing that Wen Tianfang could not attack for a while, he did not want to fight, so he ordered his troops to withdraw. Seeing this, a deputy general beside him said dissatisfied: "General, when have our Beifu soldiers ever fought such a useless battle?
He fired more than a dozen rounds, but I and my brothers couldn't finish it off in one go. How could we beat him like a mother-in-law?"
Wen Tianfang smiled, but he was not annoyed. He was calm and not as irritable as Wen Zheng. He was also broad-minded and could listen to the suggestions of his subordinates. Therefore, the deputy general dared to speak frankly in front of him: "Don't worry, this is
Dajian Mountain is not easy to capture, and the old man guarding the city is not simple. We just need to attract their attention, and leave the rest to my brother."
When the deputy general heard this, he nodded, cupped his hands and said, "I understand."
On the city wall, the Hou Han army repelled another charge from the Jiangzuo army. The morale of the army was greatly boosted. The soldiers were so excited that they couldn't help but sigh: These Jiangzuo Beifu soldiers are nothing more than this!
Zhao Boyue looked at the retreating enemy troops, then looked at the soldiers on his side, and shouted: "Don't underestimate the enemy. Quickly fill the gap with rolling wood and thunder stones, and order the whole army to reinforce the city wall to wait for the enemy."
!”
At the trail, as soon as the fighting died down, Wen Hua from Yizhou Plank Road led his troops to launch a surprise attack on the Dajian Mountain military camp.
In the darkness of the night, Wen Hua led more than 500 people who were not riding horses or wearing armor and were all running towards the Dajian Mountain Walled City in light clothing. They were wearing night clothes with hooks on their shoulders and a small crossbow on their waists.
