The battle began, and Fanman, as always, had a short memory. When he was approaching the wall of Qiongzhou City, he began to use various homemade bows and arrows to shoot arrows at the city tower, and some used flying stone ropes to throw stones at the wall.
The fact that Bing Tao has been able to survive to this day is by no means a waste of fame. He has never taken Fan people seriously. Normally, he would have just taken a second look and left.
But today, since I learned that Chu Wensheng was coming, I no longer dare to be careless.
Because he knew that Chu Wensheng, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was very discerning when it came to war, and he only used military routines once, and all the tactics and tactics he could think of were not applicable to this guy.
.
As the Ban people approached, the archers on the city wall began to fire arrows back. As usual, it was not a brutal battle. The guards suffered almost no damage. They were originally standing on the commanding heights, and the Fan people rushed in.
Within the range of a bow and arrow, you can only get beaten.
More than 10,000 people only met each other in half a stick of incense. They retreated and were out of the range of the bow and arrow, leaving behind hundreds of corpses.
As before, most of these corpses were old, weak, sick and disabled.
And this has always been the common practice of the Fan people. Those useless people who are just a waste of food in the eyes of the Fan people will become pioneers and eventually die on the loess soil and under the city gate.
The war situation was progressing in the direction that Bing Tao understood. The Fan people sent an envoy, and he ran to the city gate alone, shirtless, to shout.
Bing Tao didn't dare to lean out, let alone let the messenger come up in a hanging basket like usual, because he was deeply afraid that Chu Wensheng, or Chu Wensheng's people, would disguise themselves as barbarians and see him.
Finally, he gave himself two more blows.
It has to be said that Bing Tao is really cautious, extremely cautious. Even if it is an impossible situation, he will still be suspicious. Ever since he saw the letter and learned that Chu Wensheng was coming, his nerves have been tense.
As he stood there, he always looked back subconsciously, looking at his personal followers who had been following him for at least ten years, with a strong look of distrust on his face. He always felt that everyone seemed to be Chu Wensheng's masterpiece.
After the Fanman envoys arrived at the city, they were not allowed to ride in the gondola. Just like before, they shouted a lot, asking for food, wine, and cloth. If they were given, we would continue to fight.
Give it a six. Bing Tao didn't have any patience today. He gave an order and ordered his followers to be shot to death by the envoy. This scene angered the people in the rear and launched a meaningless attack again. About two people were separated.
Thousands of people surrounded both sides, preparing to go deep into the rear to burn, kill and plunder.
Nothing to say, Bing Tao gave the normal order, raised the north gate, and the cavalry went out of the city to snipe the Fans who were running towards the rear.
The fighting continued, with more and more people dying, and the fight lasted until the afternoon. Bing Tao was so nervous that he didn't even eat, fearing that Chu Wensheng would drop a knife from the sky and kill him.
Ever since he saw the letter, he has been a little confused.
After fighting back, fighting back, more than 10,000 people fought for most of the day, and the Fan people lost at least half of their men.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Bing Tao's expression changed drastically, because countless figures appeared from behind the Fan people. There were more people than when he first saw them this morning, at least ten thousand people.
"There are reinforcements?"
Fei Ruhu frowned and looked at it, laughing dumbly: "Commander, there is no need to worry, Qiongzhou City is impregnable and cannot be broken."
How could Bing Tao not know this truth?
He just became extremely suspicious, and anything out of the ordinary provoked his already tense nerves.
If it were anyone else, no general would be like this, except Bing Tao, because Bing Tao was one of the few people in the Dachang Dynasty who knew Chu Wensheng well.
There used to be a saying spread on the grassland that any tribe or chieftain who was targeted by the wolf-catching general Chu Wensheng was like being remembered by the death god on the grassland. He could not escape or get rid of him, and eventually...
It will turn into a corpse, and the carrion will be eaten by goshawks.
As time passed by, the reinforcements merged with the Fan people who were the first to attack the city. It was still noisy, and it was still the same as before. There was nothing fishy or abnormal.
In fact, it is very common to come for support. It is not that I have never encountered it before, but the number of times is relatively small.
Both sides were neither good at night fighting nor adapted to night fighting, so they temporarily stopped fighting.
That night, Bing Tao was sitting in the corner tower, unable to sleep.
It seemed that this turret with only three walls could give him a minimal sense of security.
Fei Ruhu and his bodyguards patrolled the city tower. Zhang Da, who regarded himself as a scholar, was tossing and turning beside the turret, unable to fall asleep.
The Dachang Dynasty had many, many generals who could fight, but with the passing of talents, even talented generals did not have much practical experience, and even those with insufficient background did not even have a chance to stand out.
After Bing Tao became a senior general in the Ministry of War, he promoted many young middle-level generals regardless of their origins, only their ability. This was not a case of nepotism, but a real promotion of talented people for the country and the dynasty.
Unfortunately, the higher his official position, it was not until he became the Minister of War that Bing Tao could clearly see the reality. The military generals of the Dachang Dynasty had no future. This was the case yesterday, it is the case today, and it will be the case tomorrow.
If this is all it is, the grassroots military is even more miserable, with food and salary arrears and corruption. This situation is prevalent in countless Zhechongfu and garrison guards.
Precisely because he saw this, Bing Tao knew that the country was going to end, it really was going to end.
Even the military does not pay attention to it. How long can such a dynasty and such a country exist? It is only a matter of time before the country is destroyed.
This was Bing Tao's original intention to rebel. He had no ambition to annex or unify Zhongzhou. Even if he occupied the south of Weijiang, even if he did not establish himself as king, it would be enough to establish a paradise that valued the military.
He believed that as long as the military was valued and given the treatment it deserved, no matter how small the territory, the military would grow into an elite division and an invincible division.
This is also the reason why so many generals are willing to follow him loyally due to Bing Tao's personality charm.
Many people are curious.
Bing Tao was definitely not the most capable general in the Dachang Dynasty, but he was definitely the general who valued the army the most. But for such a man who dared to gamble with his own life on the fate of the army, why did he react after hearing these three words Chu Wensheng?
, like a frightened bird?
At dawn, the battle began. Once the battle started, it was bloody and more intense than yesterday.
Those Ban people who were supposed to come to "touch porcelain", led by the Chimu tribe, attacked the city gate as if they were desperate for their lives.
This was something Bing Tao didn't expect.
All along, Chang's army always wins in battle.
The Ban people fought just to get benefits.
The former is desperate, but the latter is not.
What Bing Tao didn't expect was that reinforcements came again. The reinforcements from the Fan people were still about 10,000 people. They were noisy and stragglers. But adding the Fan people from yesterday, there were already more than 30,000 people. Since May 6
Since years ago, the Ban people have never gathered so many people at once to attack the city.
"Chu Wensheng!" Bing Tao stood on the wall and gritted his teeth: "It must be Chu Wensheng!"
Several of the attendants sighed.
Chu Wensheng is not a god. How is it possible? Not to mention that the war started last year, and Chu Wensheng didn’t come at all last year. Let’s just say that there are now more than 30,000 people, at least more than a dozen tribes. How can Chu Wensheng win over these people?
tribe?
Money, it's impossible. Fan people have no concept of money at all. The banknotes in their hands are just for wiping their butts.
Food is also impossible. People are all masters who don't let go of eagles when they see rabbits.
Land, it is even more impossible. Fan people are not good at farming, and it is even more impossible to farm on Chang Dynasty's territory. They are stupid.
