At this time, the face of Wu Hai, commander of the 1st Brigade of the Suzaku Regiment, had turned livid. In his opinion, if his men followed his instructions and covered each other step by step, the "casualties" when they arrived under the city wall would not be too heavy.
However, this group of new recruits who had never seen blood broke up the formation on their own initiative. The group of soldiers providing cover in the rear did not have enough firepower to cover such a large area!
"Stupid! A bunch of idiots!" Wu Hai jumped in anger, but had no better solution. "Send the order and tell them to continue attacking. They are not allowed to retreat until there is only one person left!" Now the ship is in ruins. If they give up halfway,
The previous brothers "sacrificed" in vain. Although Wu Hai didn't know Zhang Shouyu's thoughts, he firmly believed that his coach's decision must be reasonable. As a brigade commander, he didn't have to think too much and just did his best to carry out the coach's orders.
That’s it.
The flag officer is asked to raise the general's flag high above his head and wave it forward with all his strength. This represents the attitude of only advancing and not retreating, and it represents the belief that death is not a concern.
"Brothers, follow me!" Captain Qi Qingzhi glanced at the flag and understood what the commander meant. Soldiers can only obey on the battlefield and have no other choice! The soldiers had already rushed to the city wall, under the cover of Pao Ze
, they set up ladders and tied ropes one after another. What should they do next? Everyone looked at their team members blankly. As recruits who had just joined the army less than a month ago, attacking the city was too much for them.
strangeness.
"Don't think about anything, climb up, climb up and chop them down!" Qi Qingzhi's answer was short and powerful. Yes, there is no room for thinking on the battlefield. Climb up and kill them all. If you don't kill them all, you will die. War
The cruelty lies in the annihilation of human nature. At this moment, any morality seems so hypocritical and pale.
When Qi Qingzhi saw that all the recruits were still in a daze, he was the first to climb up the ladder in anger. Generals are brave soldiers, so under normal circumstances, generals will not put themselves in danger easily. This is irresponsible to himself.
It is even more irresponsible to the army and to Pao Ze. But Qi Qingzhi has no choice. The recruits have no idea how to attack the city. They need someone to stand up and set an example for them. There is no doubt that he is the best candidate.
.
This angle is exactly the blind spot for the arrows. The lethality of the arrow rain has been greatly reduced compared to dozens of steps away. Everyone has passed the first hurdle. As long as they climb up the city wall and step over the crenels, they can reach the city wall.
The defenders fought at close range. The city wall was small and the numerical advantage of the soldiers could not be reflected. As long as everyone waited for half a stick of incense, more soldiers would rush up...
But the defenders would not give them this chance. Yang Yibo, the commander of the first brigade of the Qinglong Regiment, ordered loudly: "Stop shooting arrows and push the "rolling wood" down. Are the "rolling oil" ready? Let's see them climb to the crenel.
When he was five or six feet tall, he poured it all down and burned his mother to the ground!" Yang Yibo was originally a down-and-out nobleman. He relied on his ancestral influence to obtain the position of Xingqing Palace. Because he put out fires in the palace several times.
He performed well and was promoted to captain. This time he came to enlist in the Shence Army to bet that he, Yang Yibo, could earn a foundation that could protect his descendants, and that Yang Yibo could return to Chang'an alive to enjoy this job.
Wealth.
He has never been on the battlefield, let alone defended a city. But he knows an old principle. The defending team should make reasonable use of the advantages of the terrain and the city to consume as much of the opponent's vitality as possible. Kill one of them, and I will be safer!
The "rolling logs" made of sections of poplar were thrown out from the crenellations of the city tower by the soldiers, hitting the new siege soldiers who had climbed halfway onto the carpet at the bottom of the city.
"Ah!" A recruit followed the footsteps of his team leader and was climbing up another ladder. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened, and a piece of rolling wood hit him on the shoulder. The recruit instantly lost his center of gravity and fell backwards.
.(Note 1)
"Ouch!" Even though he was wearing armor and had multiple layers of felt blankets to protect him, the recruit was still badly thrown. After greeting the ancestors who threw the logs at the guard, the "killed" soldier patted his butt angrily.
The dust on the ground mourned and went away.
However, Qi Qingzhi completely ignored Pao Ze who fell down the ladder. The distraction at this time would "kill his life" even for a moment. Years of war experience told him that if he wanted to have a greater chance of surviving in a war, the best
The way is to rush forward without thinking about anything. People who are more afraid of death tend to die sooner. In the end, those who survive to earn military merit are usually the stupid ones who don't want their lives. Qi Qingzhi clings to the ladder like a gecko.
Crawling, as a veteran, he knows how to better protect himself. When climbing the city, he should move quickly in small steps. Small steps can stabilize the center of gravity, and moving quickly can more effectively avoid risks from the defenders. He has crawled for fifteen or sixteen years.
He had only five feet to reach the top of the city wall. He could almost see the fear on the defenders' faces, and he could almost see the dawn of victory.
"No!" Qi Qingzhi yelled unwillingly as a pot of "boiling oil" was poured down. When attacking a city, what the soldiers were most afraid of was the boiling oil. It covered too much area. The defenders moved it from the top.
When the water pours down, there is almost no possibility for the brothers who are attacking the city to escape. When the boiling oil is poured on the body, a layer of skin will be burned off, and the scorched smell of human flesh will be released along with the water vapor steaming from the skin, which can be blown away by the wind.
to several miles away.
Qi Qingzhi felt an intolerable shame. Being defeated just a stone's throw away from success made him feel completely humiliated. Although he did not suffer any physical damage during this visit to the city, this kind of mental trauma often occurs.
Even more terrifying.
"ah!"
"You straight-ass bastard, just wait..."
Curses came from around him, but Qi Qingzhi had no intention of resisting anymore. His heart gave up, and the man jumped down to the carpet-covered ground. At this moment, he gave up.
...
Li Kuo led the New Third Brigade to the east of the city. Looking at the fallen paozes one by one, the young man let out a long sigh.
"Sir, let's attack!" Pu Dachui's eyes turned red with anger, and he kept beating his chest to ask for a fight.
"Wait a little longer." The young man looked up at Tuyuan in the west of the city. He was waiting for an opportunity. That opportunity was fleeting, and he had to seize it. He had no other choice.
...
"How long does it take for Lei to recover? Just leave a horse path that is two people wide. The brothers directly to the north can't hold on!" Tao Cheng stamped his feet anxiously on the original slope in the west of the city. As Zhang's most trusted person,
Several subordinates, he knew very well the tactics of the captain. To put it bluntly, the frontal attack was to attract the attention of the defenders and buy time for the impact of the horse road. In fact, it was to use the lives of the brothers in the first brigade to fill the nest. When he thought of this, Tao
Cheng Bian was heartbroken. Although he clearly knew that this was an exercise, the nature of a soldier made him treat every exercise as an actual combat. Although there were still three brigades left in preparation, if he and Brother Wu Hai joined forces,
They couldn't even capture the fortress, and trying to turn the situation around with a half-grown baby seemed to him like a fool's errand.
"It's coming, it's coming. Brigadier General, the cattail bags haven't been packed tightly yet, why don't you wait a little longer?" A veteran who looked like a captain looked at the loose horse track and asked tentatively.
"Wait a minute, the city defenders can hold a celebration banquet. Victory or failure depends on this, everyone, rush to me, kill them all!" Tao Cheng's eyes turned red, and he was the first to rush forward.
Horse trail.
"Follow the adults and charge, charge over and kill them all!" the soldiers shouted in response.
"If they belong to men, don't hide behind them. Kill them all. The commander will give us a celebration banquet."
At this moment, they only have the desire for victory in their eyes. That desire is like the state of a smoker when he sees white powder, excited and terrifying.
A hundred soldiers bravely rushed along the narrow horse road two people wide. The brigade commander said that waiting for them in front were military exploits at their fingertips and countless rewards. Marshal Ge Shuhan had something to say first.
It has been a joke since ancient times that those who break the city are actually awarded the rank of captain of a regiment! When they think that they can get rewards that are difficult to find in actual combat with just a few clicks of their fingers, the recruits are like hungry wolves who have found their prey, with greedy green light shooting out of their eyes.
"Sir, they are coming!"
At the city wall on the west side, Yang Yibo, commander of the 1st Brigade of the Qinglong Regiment, gently stroked a wisp of beard under his chin and looked leisurely at the "hungry wolf" charging towards him.
"The wolf is coming, and it's time for the hunter to close his net." Yang Yibo nodded to a soldier beside him, who immediately understood and ran to the west side of the city wall, spreading his commander's order throughout the world.
"The brigade commander has ordered that the spearmen be on standby at the crenellations in the west of the city!"
"Your Majesty the Brigade Marshal has ordered that the spearmen gather at the west entrance of the city and stand by where they are!"
Orders were passed along the city wall one after another, and the soldiers who had previously served as spearmen ran towards the west crenellations of the city carrying eight-foot-high spears...
"Damn it, it looks like we have fallen into a trap!" When Tao Cheng led the team to the west of the city, he found that he seemed to have fallen into a trap that had been designed long ago. The gang of turtles guarding the city started from the beginning.
We knew that our frontal siege was to attract attention. They had deployed heavy troops in the west of the city from the beginning!
The narrow horse road made it impossible to display formations. They were all ready, and the soldiers armed with "long spears" had been waiting for them at the top of the city for a long time. At this moment, the narrow gap only three feet wide turned into an insurmountable gap...
Note 1: Poplar: In fact, poplar is very light, so even if it is made into a "rolling log" and hits someone, it will not hurt the muscles or bones. In addition, the soldiers are equipped with protective gear, so it will hurt for a while at most. Ge Shuhan is known for his
The order to govern the army is strict, this is a novel, so let’s leave it like this in order to complete the plot.
