Before Zhang Chong's new order arrived, Chen Huanbu had already responded.
The operative was none other than Chen Cheng, who was an expert in the army with a rifle and crossbow. Because he and Chen Huan were from the same clan, the army also called him "Little Chen".
The heroic deeds of the Julu Army on the south wall just now fell in Xiao Chen's eyes.
But the heroism of the enemy was different for Chen Cheng who fell outside the barrier.
As soon as he was released from the collision team, he was appointed as a general in the army of his brother Chen Huan. At this time, he was responsible for commanding the long archers to shoot at the Han army on the southern wall.
At this time, when I saw the enemy soldiers on the opposite side marching vigorously to boost the morale of the opposite side with a few words, my face immediately turned dark.
He took out a waist crossbow, estimated the distance, then sat down, twisted his waist and stretched the string, and shot at the enemy at the front.
The thundering arrow not only hit Jianbu right in the middle, but also nailed the man directly to the wall of the corridor.
This blow directly frightened the Han soldiers on the wall. They no longer bothered to shout and subconsciously fell to the ground.
It can be said that Chen Cheng destroyed Cheng Huanjun's newly built morale with one blow.
Chen Cheng's feat fell into the eyes of the general Chen Huan who was commanding from behind. Of course, it provoked the Taishan Army veteran to shout. He wanted to promote his younger brother, so he shouted:
"Xiao Chen is a great shooter, and Flying General Li Guang is nothing more than a stone shooter."
He immediately wrote two words on a yellow flag: "flying shot". Then he asked the flag bearer to deliver the flag to Chen Cheng and told Chen Cheng that after the war, he would definitely ask for credit for Xiao Chen, and he would definitely hand it to him personally.
The book has a "flying" flag.
Just after the flag was sent out, the military orders sent from the rear were also delivered to Chen Huan.
Listen to Beiqi repeating Qu Shuai's command, especially the last sentence:
"Who is the thief?"
Chen Huan slapped his chest heavily and said fiercely:
"You go back and tell Commander Qu that I, Chen Huan, will not let the reputation of my Taishan Army be brought to shame."
After speaking, he said to the general beside him:
"Give me the order to move the flag to the front of the formation."
The general was shocked:
"Sima, you must not do this. The enemy's crossbows are very powerful. Just in case..."
Chen Huan scolded:
"What if, just what if. Remember, the military might of our Taishan Army is more important than my life, Old Chen. Let's go, the whole army moves forward, I want to see if the fortress opposite is really
It's made of iron. Even if Nai Gong's tooth breaks, he has to bite it to bits."
In this way, Chen Huanjun's flag was flying, and each unit received the flag order and moved forward one after another.
…
Just now, Xiao Chen fired an arrow angrily, boosting the morale of the front troops. First, a "flying shot" flag was sent from the rear, and then the rear waved an attack flag.
Although Chen Cheng didn't know why Chen Huan ordered a full attack, after all, their army was mostly crossbowmen who were good at long-distance combat. But as Xiao Chen said himself, he never regarded himself as just a crossbowman!
He, Xiao Chen, is a master of both spear and crossbow!
Chen Cheng tied up his trousers and put on his armor, then put down the crossbow on his waist and took an iron spear from the guard's hand.
Then he looked at his entourage and saw that they all wore short knives, wore iron armor, and held large axes. Although there were only ten of them, the whole group was majestic.
These ten people were all Yellow Turban warriors in the Runan Yellow Turbans at that time, and were given to him by Chen Cheng's two sworn brothers. Chen Cheng and these ten people wore the same clothes, slept together, and ate the same food, and they were like brothers.
Chen Cheng looked at the ten people silently, pointed behind him and said in a deep voice:
"Do you know who is behind that?"
The clever one among the ten people replied loudly:
"It's the general!"
"Yes, it's Qu Shuai. Qu Shuai is watching us from behind?"
After saying this, Chen Cheng pointed to the east and west and said to the ten people:
"You heard it just now. As soon as the two sides broke the wall, Qu Shuai sent us a letter of merit, indicating that Qu Shuai was watching us all the time. I, Xiao Chen, felt that I had ambitions and luck, but I consciously missed a chance.
, a real big opportunity. I usually never let you down, but I hope you will not let us down today. I will take the lead in the charge later. If I die, don’t worry about my body and keep moving forward. Today, we
Brothers, either we will do something big, or we will die here together."
After saying that, Chen Cheng yelled:
"Kehu?"
The Ten Warriors shouted:
"Here!"
"Kehu?"
"Here!"
Chen Cheng waved his spear across the wall and shouted at the Julu Army barrier to the west:
"kill!"
…
At this time, on the wall of the Chinese army behind the corridor, Guo Dian, the prefect of Julu, looked at the battle ahead with a serious face.
Guo Dian looked to the four poles and saw that the sun was spreading its rays all over the earth, and the clouds in the distance were also rendered golden. This golden cast reflected the bright yellow army below, as if the heaven and earth had lost all other colors.
There are countless camps in the wilderness, one after another. The flags are like forests, and the shouts are like thunder. From time to time, there are scouts, and the scouting horses come in and out, galloping as fast as flying. They loudly send orders to a certain formation, and then the certain formation moves out after a while.
, Chi Zha had already replaced the friendly troops in the previous battle.
There are more than 10,000 people in the vast place, but the flowing clouds and flowing water that are mobilized have a kind of intoxicating beauty.
No matter how proud Guo Dian was, he couldn't help but sigh:
"I have never seen such a powerful army in my life."
At this point, Guo Dian had actually given up his ambition to compete with the Taishan army on the battlefield. Such a force of soldiers was not something that his county could contend with, and he had to unite with Youji's army to defeat them.
Seeing that Guo Dian was still able to persevere with such power, the staff and soldiers beside him all had pale faces, and some of the timid ones had trembling legs.
After fighting against the Taishan Army, I realized that Taiping Road in Hebei Province was really friendly in the past!
Take Guo Xun and Wei Liang, who were killed by the Taishan Army not long ago. Which of them was not killed in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the previous war, and is also the existence of the Yellow Turban nightmare in Hebei.
But then? It was so shameful to die in the hands of two unknown people from the Taishan Army!
But the shy mood had not settled yet, and there was another roar of mountains and tsunami coming from the battlefield over there:
"The thief general Cheng Huan is being killed by me, Chen Cheng!"
"The thief general Cheng Huan is being killed by me, Chen Cheng!"
…
At this time, all the staff could no longer hold on, and one of them collapsed on the ground.
No one else, just because Cheng Huan is the most courageous in the army. In terms of elite soldiers, he may not be as good as Gao Lan, but in terms of fierceness, who dares to kill Cheng Huan?
But such a brave soldier was beheaded!
At this time, a staff member turned to Guo Dian and said:
"My lord, it's difficult to control the thieves. It's not even half a day since the full attack. Three of our four outer walls have been trapped. As my lord said, the Zhongshan soldiers will definitely come to our aid, but from what I've seen, we probably won't be able to hold on."
That’s when.”
The man suddenly raised his head and said loudly to Guo Dian:
"Lord, if we continue to fight, we will suffer chaos. It is better to choose to break out now and still have a glimmer of hope."
Guo Dian was still thinking, and the staff member suggested again:
"My lord, if your daughter's son is lost here, what will happen to the people of Julu? I hope that my lord can earn a living and bear the humiliation and retreat for the time being. In the future, we will unite with the counties in the north to attack this thief again."
Guo Dian sighed and said:
"That's all. Where do you think we should break out?"
This person already had a draft in mind, pointing out:
"You can rush to Yiyang. There are still thousands of soldiers there and there are still grains accumulated. It is safe to say that there is nothing left."
When this person said he was going to Yiyang, another staff member immediately raised an objection:
"That's wrong. The city of Yiyang is small, so it's better to run west to Shangdang. From there, you can go to the east of the river and return to the capital."
But just when the two of them were talking about running around, one person stood out and said to Guo Dian:
"Fu Jun, Yi Yang, and Shangdang are all not allowed to go. Just imagine that the reason why our corridor barrier can be held firmly is because Fu Jun is here to guard it with them. As the two of you said, they may run east or west. When the time comes, everyone will express their feelings.
The storm surged, and the masses were defeated. The thieves were already in large numbers, and they were covering them up from behind. How could we rush to Yiyang and Shangdang? Although we have little food now, we can still last for ten months. We are in danger even if we have no safety.
Are you seeking your own death? If the two opinions must be followed, I am willing to splash the blood on your neck first and dirty the stallion's hooves."
This person's words directly angered one of the officers, and the person pointed angrily:
"Tian Yuanhao, you are putting your lord's safety at risk. You are disloyal."
This man named Tian Yuanhao was also fierce and retorted directly:
"You are setting up a government to be unjust, you are disloyal!"
Yes, this Tian Yuanhao is Tian Feng from Julu, a handsome man in Hebei Province. This man has a strong personality and has always been unsuccessful.
Fortunately, Guo Xun knew that this person was capable, so he did not take it seriously and recruited him into the government.
Of course, this is also because the current war is fierce and dangerous, so Guo Dian endures the discomfort and keeps it by his side. Otherwise, in normal times, who would find a thorn next to him to make him sick?
What, you said he is capable? What does being capable have to do with me? Will it make me feel more comfortable?
So when Tian Feng stood up again and asked Guo Dian to continue to hold on, Guo Dian felt agitated. In fact, he was already determined to run away, but he was just not sure where to run?
Going east meant staying in Julu County and fighting to the death with the Taishan Army. Running west meant abandoning Julu County, going straight to Luoyang, and joining the new dynasty in Luoyang.
To be honest, he personally prefers to rush west to Luo. Because he knows that with the strength of the Taishan Army, it will be a matter of time to annex Heshuo, and it is meaningless to stay here and continue to fight.
It is better to go to Luoyang as early as possible. He may be hidden at first, but if the Kwantung court wants to go to war with the Taishan Army in the future, then he, an expert who knows Taishan, will inevitably be reused.
But although Tian Feng is annoying, he is right about one thing. Running away at this time may really lead to death.
What to do?
While Guo Dian was still hesitating, Zang Hong, who had been standing silently next to Guo Dian, stepped out of the queue.
He paid homage to Guo Dian:
"Master, there is no need to worry. My father's reinforcements must have been sent. I can ask my companion Chen Rong to break out with my talisman and urge the Zhongshan soldiers to come quickly for reinforcements."
Guo Dian looked at Zang Hong's determined eyes, calmed down, and made up his mind:
"All armies, none of us have been favored by the country. It is our duty to be loyal to the country. From now on, I intend to guard with the three armies. If anyone dares to escape again, no matter who they are, they will be killed!"
After all, Guo Dian is the master. After he gave this order, no one dared to say anything. But many people looked at Tian Feng's back with hatred.
Just like that, as the sun rose high, the warriors on the wall sat and looked at Zhao Fubi to the north, which was also the only wall at present, and remained silent.
I just don’t know how long Zhao Fu can hold on.
…
To everyone's surprise, the North Face persisted until sunset.
But obviously the tenacity of the north wall also annoyed the Taishan Army, so even if the sun was about to set, the Taishan Army had no intention of stopping the attack.
There were even sergeants setting up torches all the time, and judging from the posture, the north wall would be captured even if it was a night attack.
At this time, in a very wide wilderness behind the east side of the north wall of the Julu Army, Julu General Gao Lan was resting here with his 500 horsemen.
Compared with the shouts of killing that filled the sky not far away, there was no sound here except the sound of people eating and horses chewing. Everyone was resting and eating.
Gao Lan was wearing his helmet and armor, but because it was inconvenient to sit on the ground, he was sitting on a horse.
He was chewing a piece of millet biscuit, silently looking at Zhao Fu's military camp in the distance, silently.
Suddenly, a young man wearing a crimson cloak next to him said:
"Gao Lan, are you just watching like this? The killing in the north is like that. It's time for us to rush over and give those Taishan thieves a hard blow."
But no one paid any attention to the young general's cries. He either continued to bite the cake or fed his mount a handful of beans.
Gao Lan finished the last bite of the cake, tilted his head and looked at the young general, and said coldly:
"Xiao Guo, did I issue a military order before to silence the entire cavalry? Why, you dare to violate our military laws?"
The man named Xiao Guo was a member of the prefect Guo Dian's tribe. Gao Lan was defeated in the previous battle. Although Guo Dian did not punish him, he assigned Gao Lan a supervisor, this is Xiao Guo.
So in the face of Gao Lan's doubts, Xiao Guo obviously didn't take it to heart and joked:
"Don't do this to me. I'm so talkative. Besides, aren't you talking too? You are violating your own military law! The last thing to say is ugly, you, a long-legged flying general, still dare to kill me.
?”
After saying this, the man also patted Gao Lan's armor, hoping to stop doing this to Mr. Nai.
But this time he got it wrong. Gao Lan obviously had other ideas.
Gao Lan slowly stood up from the horse, and with his extremely tall stature, he looked down at Xiao Guo. Then he heard Gao Lan say one word at a time:
"Is it possible for a boy like you to show off your words in the army? You think you are a member of the prefect, so you dare to despise me? How dare you call me by my first name in the army? Now I will use your contempt for Shangguan to make a noise in the army.
Sin, I’ll kill you, and don’t blame yourself for your unjust death when you get down there.”
These extremely oppressive words and murderous intent made Xiao Guo panic, and he knelt on the ground to apologize.
But Gao Lan remained unmoved and pressed Xiao Guo's head with one hand, then pushed him to the ground.
The abundant force pressed on Xiao Guo's head, and half of his face was pressed into the soil. He panicked and begged for mercy:
"Don't kill me. My uncle won't let you go. Don't kill me..."
After all, Xiao Guo couldn't finish his words. Gao Lan pulled out a short blade from his waist and pressed it directly into the root of Xiao Guo's neck.
Xiao Guo shuddered and then stopped moving. He still didn't understand until his death why Gao Lan had the courage to kill him!
After killing Xiao Guo, Gao Lan cut off his head and threw it to the ground.
The round head rolled on the ground and stopped at the feet of a fierce warrior.
This man didn't care that he was a member of Guo Dian's tribe. He raised his head elsewhere with one kick, and then strode towards Gao Landao:
"Brother, brothers are all ready and ready to break out at any time."
Gao Lan nodded, patted his clan brother Gao Hu, and then got on his horse.
After that, five hundred horsemen followed Gao Lan through the narrow gap in the southwest corner, obviously hoping to take advantage of the night to rush out.
And behind them were the cheers of the Taishan Army.
The last wooden fence of Zhao Fu's fortress in the north has been knocked down, and its wall is completely open to the front of the Taishan Army.
