Ye Xuan is more worried about the situation in Shanjuye City now. The logistics is nowhere to be achieved now, and this is a major event that concerns the entire army. The logistics has not arrived, and no matter how powerful he is, he will not want to fight against the Tang army.
Because he speculated that Hu Zhi was not simple, Ye Xuan was even more worried about problems in the rear. What he was worried about was whether Hu Zhi's unreasonable actions were ordered by the governor or there was another inside story. But no matter what, he was asked to do it.
Can't let it go.
"Dongdongdongdong..." Under Boping City, the sound of war drums rose again.
Seven or eight thousand chaotic, made up of soldiers and young men, and the siege team led by the Tang army set out again and came towards Boping City. And this time it was obviously faster, more crazy than last time, and even more so
The soldiers guarding the city are difficult to defend.
It is not because the enemy's siege is strong, but because the enemy's siege is not ordinary soldiers, but is mixed with more than 5,000 young and strong people. At this moment, the young and strong people under the former government army are carrying simple ladders.
He shouted and rushed over again.
Soon, the rioters arrived again five hundred steps away from the city wall. The "Woooo" warning sounded and the sound of trumpets sounded again on the city wall. But the soldiers on the city all looked at their chief general, Zhang Ting.
Hearing the sound of trumpets, some of the siege teams under the city immediately dispersed, and some were still rushing forward. The ones dispersed were naturally surrendered, because they knew that the observation posts on the city were telling the soldiers guarding the city.
The enemy was already within the range of the archers. And the ones who rushed forward were young and strong. They were not soldiers, so they naturally didn't understand these things very well.
Looking at the young and strong man who was approaching with a ladder under the city, Zhang Ting's face turned blue and shouted angrily: "Shoot the arrow!"
Suddenly, the sound of wooden buckles on the city walls, which were as dense as rain, and arrows and crossbows all came out. The sharp whistling made everyone's scalp numb, but although it made all the siege people tremble in fear,
But they know whether to attack or die, and not attack or die. If they attack, they can get gold, silver and wealth to support their family. If they retreat, they will not only compare, even the supervisor team behind them will immediately cut off their heads
.So although they were afraid, everyone still closed their eyes and prayed not to ejaculate themselves, while rushing forward desperately.
"Scattered! Idiots, all dispersed! The shields protect my head! A group of idiots, have you forgotten what they said before?" The Tang army officer mixed with them shouted sternly.
When the young man heard his words, he immediately dispersed around and rushed towards the top of the city. The simple wooden shield in his hand also stood in front of his face. Although he could not stop the crossbow loss, the arrow could still resist part of it.
The flying arrows brought countless blood rains, but obviously the lethality of the arrow rain was also weakened a little by the dispersion of the soldiers in the siege. The young and strong, under the encouragement and shouting of the Tang army officers, also ran away from fear.
Morale was greatly boosted, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the sky.
"I've seen it all for me. Now, they are enemies! If the city is broken, it will not be the thousands of people under the city, but more than 100,000 people in the city. Beat drums! Bowman, shoot! Violate orders
If you kill! Crossbow machine, launch!" Seeing that many of his subordinates were shooting at the enemy under the city without any seriousness, Zhang Ting's face turned cold and shouted sternly.
The defenders on the city wall cheered up and threw the young and strong begging for mercy in Liangzhou Prefecture under the city, and launched a sharper counterattack and suppression.
The sudden thunder of war drums on the city wall, and then the rain of arrows almost covered the sky above the siege soldiers. Not only that, there was a sound of "bang...bang...", followed by a black rain of arrows from the sky.
The whistling and rushing down was the city-guarding crossbow machine that showed its power.
"Ah...Damn..."
"careful……"
"Save me..."
The screams suddenly came from under the city wall. The young and strongman who rushed over were caught in an arrow and fell to the ground, but could not die for a moment. He lay on the battlefield and screamed desperately. The young and strongman and the surrendered soldiers rushed into the storm.
The momentum is stagnant again.
"No...I am from Liangzhou Prefecture, I am myself..." A young and strong man who was caught in an arrow on his leg and fell to the ground shouted sadly, hoping that the archers in the city could let him go, and then they were immediately sent by several pieces
The arrows pricked into a hedgehog, and the bright red blood immediately spread out from under him, forming a blood-colored picture.
Although many young and strong men threw down their weapons and turned around and ran away, they were then shot and killed by the supervisory team from the rear with a strong bow. For a moment, these young and strong men did not dare to retreat easily.
"The left and right are dead, kill, capture the city, even if you die in battle, the whole family will have a trap!" The Tang soldiers mixed in the young and strong shouted loudly.
With some inspirational calls, the young and strong men also fought to the death. It was not that they had never thought about Zhejiu back. They dared not because their families were still under the control of the Tang army. If they led the crowd to Zhejiu, it would be that the one who was unlucky would be
I am the only one, but the whole family. This is also the reason why these young men knew that they were attacking their own people, but had to do so.
The messy young and strong mixed with Tang army and surrendered soldiers were approaching the city wall, and the large crossbows could no longer be shot. The defenders on the wall still dared to fire with longbows and hand crossbows. Occasionally, a few ladders were stuck on the city wall, and they were not waiting.
The rioters climbed up and were immediately overturned by the defenders on the wall.
In just half an hour, the siege team of seven or eight thousand young and strong surrendered soldiers finally retreated, and the Tang army sounded the horn to withdraw the troops. Hearing the sound of gold, the siege team finally breathed a sigh of relief and retreated like a tide, on the wall
The defenders also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Killing the Tang army and killing the strong men was different at that time, especially the young and strong men were still their own people.
From five hundred steps away from the city wall, to the bottom of the city wall, it became a sea of corpses and blood. Arrows were everywhere, covered with countless corpses and wounded soldiers who were not dead and still screaming. Blood stained the city wall with red near the city wall.
Every inch of the land of five hundred steps is filled with a strong smell of blood that makes people vomit.
The siege team never climbed the city wall, had insufficient weapons, and the young and strong civilians who were not trained and surrendered soldiers who had lost their effective organization could not bring any harm to the soldiers guarding the city. However, the soldiers guarding the city did not win.
The joy, especially Zhang Ting, was frowning even more.
"Send an order! Let the army in the south return to the camp, and there is no need to fight against the government army! Today, we have achieved our goal!" Meng Zhao sneered and ordered. If it were not for the orders above, he would not let his subordinates lose too much.
He had already rushed over directly. He had already seen that the combat effectiveness of the government army was far inferior to himself.
"Retreat!" Seeing the Tang army retreating, his subordinates breathed a sigh of relief, Ye Xuan ordered with an ugly expression.
…………
"Lord, this is the news sent back from Yizhou!" In the commander's tent, Wei Dong handed the secret letter in his hand to Zhao Xun.
"Hmm? It seems that Situ Lei is going to win! King Zhang Yan of Shu can't hold on for long." After reading the content of the secret letter, Zhao Xun said slowly.
"Situ Lei is going to win? No way, Zhang Yan said that he should be fully prepared for his own country. Why did he lose a big loss in less than three months after the war started?"
Zhao Xun shook his head and said, "I haven't lost yet, but it's too soon! Zhang Yan only has one state, and originally planned to use the strategy of being the king to attract the ambitions of other forces, and at the same time, the court dared not act rashly.
.I just didn't expect that the other forces did not take this empty name seriously at all. If there is no strength, what if the emperor? With strength, it is not the kings, but better than the kings. Therefore, now all forces are
Fighting for territory, the heroes from the north were entangled in Yanzhou, and no one paid attention to it in the south. Situ Lei focused his attention on Ningzhou, and the army was pressing over, and there was enough room for maneuver. Zhang Yan, how could he be defeated?
The most important thing is that he proclaimed himself king, and no one dared to help him.”
There is no other day, and the two kings of the kings. Although the forces of all sides did not comply with the court's orders and were even designated as rebels and traitors by the court, they still did not raise the banner of establishing themselves as kings and establishing themselves as one country. It can even be said that
They still had room for maneuver. But Zhang Yan was gone. He and the court had become dead and there was no possibility of existence. Especially when Situ Lei still occupied the court's righteousness.
"So, the messenger of Situ Lei in Yanzhou..."
"Those envoys were just chess pieces from Situ Lei to disrupt Yanzhou. They wanted to make all forces including Murong Cheng tangle in Yanzhou and relax their attention to the southwest. Xu Jie...What are you doing?"
Xun murmured.
"Forget it, let our people keep an eye on Situ Lei Jun's movements. Since they are busy with Ningzhou, we can't intervene. What's wrong with the army?"
"Fortunately, since the last lord's training, the soldiers have changed their appearance and become more and more handsome when they are trained. I believe that after the training of the brothers in the personal guard camp, they will definitely be reborn." Wei Dong said with a smile.
"The elites in the army are not trained, but are sold. Without going through the test of iron and blood, they cannot become real elites."
"Is there any abnormal news coming from Yanzhou City?"
"There is nothing unusual, but Xu Jie seems to be in a deadlock with the Situ Lei Envoy. It seems that because they have not reached an agreement on each other's conditions, they have not reached an agreement. Otherwise, the Wuwei Army in Yanzhou City would not have not taken action yet. But Xu
The ranks also began to rectify on a large scale, reorganize the army, and change the original government army system to the guards." After thinking for a while, Wei Dong said in a deep voice.
Zhao Xun sighed and said, "The biggest abnormality is not the absence of anomalies! Maybe, this general of the Martial Guard, Ding Qiang, will be defeated by Xu Jie in the end!"
"No, the Wu Guard Army is much stronger than the Mansion Army. Besides, although Ding Qiang is arrogant and irritable, it is definitely not easy for him to be able to take up the position of general of the Guard."
Zhao Xun said: "Being able to see these means that you have observed them carefully. It is indeed not easy for Ding Qiang to take the position of general. But he also has a great burden when he takes the position of general of the Wuwei Army. The person who peeks at him is not
Younger, I hope there are many people who fail. As the leading coach, he is arrogant and can barely say it, but he is irritable... This is a big hidden danger. People with bad tempers are not good at listening to others and cannot stand their temper. They still fight.
Yes, but it would be a bit of a problem to let him take charge."
Wei Dong took a breath and said, "In this way, we all regard Xu Jie as a too simple. Will we expose it..."
"No, at most, I will guess that Feng Ziming and Xiaoguojun have a connection, but I will not guess our identity. He will not believe that Feng Ziming will hand over the military power in his hands to others." Zhao Xundingsheng said in a decisive voice.
