Two hundred and ninety eighth chapter: The Battle of Bohai Five
Following Changsun Heng'an's order, the sound of clappers was heard, and countless officers and soldiers with bows and arrows appeared in their hands around the open space where the rebels were, on the city walls, residential roofs and other commanding heights. The arrows and arrows on the bow were all ignited with flames without exception.
The leader was suddenly shot and killed. The rebel soldiers who were preparing to go on a killing spree immediately panicked. Many of the smarter ones had already reacted and turned around to run towards the city gate. The few officers and soldiers who had closed the city gate before They have long since disappeared, but as long as they open the city gate, they can still escape.
But just when they took a step forward, more than a dozen rockets suddenly flew in and hit the space between the rebels and the city gate arch. Suddenly, the entire city gate burst into flames, directly destroying the rebels and the city. The doors were separated. Several rebel soldiers tried to rush through, but they were all caught in the flames and died in the sea of flames, screaming.
At this time, Changsun Heng'an, who was on the top of the city, glanced outside the city and shouted to the soldiers around him: "No need to delay any longer, send the order, shoot arrows, and kill all these rebels in the shortest time. "After saying that, Changsun Heng'an turned around and returned to the high platform, preparing to supervise the battle outside the city.
Soon, countless shrill screams came from behind Changsun Heng'an, but these sounds fell into Changsun Heng'an's ears, but they couldn't make any waves on Changsun Heng'an's face. At this time, another voice came from lightly. The message came to Changsun Heng'an's ears: "General Changsun is decisive in killing, but in this way, he has committed a lot of killings."
Changsun Heng'an didn't even look back, his eyes were still fixed on the rebels who were charging outside the city, and he said tepidly: "All this is thanks to Mr. Yi who laid this trap in advance. Moreover, he saw through the traitor’s plot in time, so sir will take the lion’s share of the blame.”
Yi Fan took a step forward with a smile on his face. Regarding Changsun Heng'an's words, Yi Fan did not show any anger. He just smiled and replied: "Actually, I made this arrangement just to prevent the rebels from attacking at night. That's why I made it." There are so many kerosene traps buried there, but I didn’t expect that they would come in handy today. It’s all just a coincidence. It’s just a coincidence. But I’m a little curious. I don’t know why General Changsun trusts my judgment so much. What if I’m wrong? , wouldn’t it be wrong to kill the reinforcements who came,”
Changsun Heng'an smiled faintly. The reason is actually very simple. Although Changsun Heng'an is now besieged in the Bohai Sea, relying on Xinyao, Changsun Heng'an has always been in contact with the outside world. If Xue Shixiong of Zhuo County really sends reinforcements, what will happen to Changsun Heng'an? Don't you know? Therefore, even if Yi Fan didn't see through the rebels' scheme, Changsun Heng'an would not be fooled. Instead, Changsun Heng'an turned around and asked: "Why don't you, sir, tell me how you saw through the rebels' scheme?" ,"
"Haha," Yi Fan didn't mind Changsun Heng'an's avoidance of answering, but replied directly: "When I was young, I was fortunate enough to serve under Commander Xue, and I also know the way he manages the army. I know a little bit that Yan's fierce soldiers from top to bottom all respect Commander Xue. Except for Commander Xue or a few major generals personally leading the troops, other generals dare not raise the flag with the word "Xue". The traitor doesn't know why. If you dare to raise the flag with the word "Xue" rashly, you are not asking for trouble. Besides, although Yan's troops are strong, they are very few in number. This team of ten thousand people cannot be led by a general except a general under Xue Shuai. I know all the generals, so how could the leader of the rebels impersonate him?"
Speaking of this, Yi Fan suddenly smiled and said: "Besides, although this plan is good, it is too hasty and has too many flaws. Even if I don't serve under Xue Shuai, it won't work." To be able to see through this plan, first of all, the troops and horses appeared too early. Yan's fierce soldiers are famous all over the world. How can the general who leads the army not know how to use troops? If he waits until the rebels are fighting with the defenders before taking action, It will definitely bring the rebels back with a big defeat. Secondly, the rebels retreated in an orderly manner, and their formation was not chaotic at all. They did not look like they were fleeing in a hurry when they were attacked. They clearly knew that this would happen. Thirdly, the disguise Although the rebels who became Yan's warriors wore the armor of Yan's warriors, their formations were messy. If Yan's warriors were really of this level, how could they achieve such a great reputation? Just rely on these three points. It can be determined that this must be a trick by the rebels,"
After hearing Yi Fan explain the reason, Changsun Hengan tilted his head slightly. He was not very interested in the reason why Yi Fan saw through the rebels' scheme, but he was a little surprised. Yi Fan actually served under Xue Shixiong, but now When the troops came to the city, Changsun Heng'an didn't have the intention to ask more questions. He kept the matter in his heart and concentrated on preparing for the next battle.
At this time, in the rebel formation outside the city, Gao Shida was so angry that his eyes were red and his face was crazy. He thought that he was sure of success this time, but he didn't expect that he would come up empty in the end, looking at the Bohai Sea in the distance. Even if he didn't see the fire and smoke gradually rising behind the city wall, Gao Shida knew that the more than 10,000 rebels who had sneaked in were probably in danger. That was a total of more than 10,000 people. , it was all in vain. Even if these people were not direct descendants of Gao Shida, it was enough to make Gao Shida feel distressed. Gao Shida couldn't help roaring: "Attack me, attack me, the whole army will attack, we will definitely You must take down Bohai City for me,"
Compared to Gao Shida's madness, Song Zhengben seemed much calmer. Of course, after seeing that his plan failed, Song Zhengben's face also turned gray, but Song Zhengben did not get into trouble like Gao Shida. But Song Zhengben also agreed with Gao Shida's decision to attack with all his strength at this moment. The 10,000 rebels would not be able to be wiped out in a short while. While the defenders were dividing their forces to deal with the rebels in the city, there was still a chance of winning with an all-out attack. When he heard Gao Shida's roar, Song Zhengben's eyes lit up, and he immediately quietly retreated behind Gao Shida, grabbed the soldier who was about to convey Gao Shida's military order, and shouted in a low voice: "First, inform General Wang Fubao. , let him lead the five thousand elites to attack with all their strength, and other troops and horses must cooperate with General Wang Fubao's attack,"
"Uh, this..." Hearing Song Zhengben's words, the soldier also hesitated. As a close confidant of Gao Shida, he also knew his master's attitude towards Wang Fubao's troops. If he followed what Song Zhengben said, If you do it, wouldn't it be contrary to Gao Shida's previous approach?
Seeing that the soldier hesitated, Song Zhengben was also a little anxious. He glanced at Gao Shida who was still roaring crazily behind him, stared at him, and shouted in a low voice: "Bastard, didn't you hear what the father-in-law just did? The military order? It means the whole army attacks. The meaning of the whole army attack naturally includes the soldiers and horses of General Wang Fubao. Go quickly. If you miss the important event of the Lord, you may not be safe."
Being shouted at by Song Zhengben, the soldier was frightened and broke into a cold sweat. He also thought in his heart that since Song Zhengben said this, then even if the father-in-law was blamed, he could just pass the responsibility to Song Zhengben. Knowing this, the soldier immediately saluted Song Zhengben, turned around and ran to convey the military order. After watching the soldiers leave, Song Zhengben also showed a wry smile. Of course he knew about Gao Shida's so-called full-army attack, and Not including Wang Fubao's troops, but now the only way to have a chance to reverse the situation is to fight like this.
Soon, Gao Shida's order was passed to Wang Fubao, who was resting at the gate of the camp. Hearing this order, Wang Fubao couldn't help but be stunned, with an expression of surprise on his face. Wang Fubao was actually just sent out to perform a show. Forget it, Gao Shida had no intention of letting Wang Fubao send troops. In addition, Gao Shida had never sent Wang Fubao to fight during this period, which really made Wang Fubao feel a little resentful. After repeated confirmation, Wang Fubao sneered, got on his horse, and pulled out his waist. He held up his saber and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, I didn't expect that Duke Donghai would finally rely on us. Hehe, after seeing the excitement for so long, it's time for us to relax and let those wastes see what they have to do. That’s called siege,”
"Drink," after hearing Wang Fubao's words, the five thousand elite troops stood up at the same time, pulled out the sabers from their waists, struck the shields in their left hands, making a neat impact sound, and shouted in unison, with that majestic voice, Even more powerful than the 20,000 to 30,000 rebels. Seeing such prestige, the soldiers who were delivering the order showed envy and admiration. Finally, they reluctantly turned their heads and went to find other rebels to convey the military orders.
Soon, the rebels from all walks of life gathered together with Wang Fubao's army and began to attack Bohai City. Compared with the other fifty or sixty thousand people, the formation of the five thousand elite soldiers at the front was more neat and dense, highlighting that they were different from the other few. The difference between the Lu rebels and the rebels was that behind the military formation, Gao Shida, who had just lost his temper and was in a slightly calmer mood, saw that the army had already attacked, and his expression softened a little. He nodded to the left and right and said: " Come on, let’s go forward and supervise the battle. We must conquer Bohai today,”
After seeing Hao Xiaode's death yesterday, Gao Shida naturally did not dare to get too close to the city wall, but at least stepping forward to supervise the battle could stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers. Gao Shida still knew this, but just a few steps forward, Gao Shida saw Wang Fubao's troops, who were at the forefront, suddenly turned livid in face, and shouted angrily: "Asshole, who allowed Wang Fubao to send troops, why don't you just ask him to withdraw quickly?"
