Chapter 301 The Battle of Chuzhou (2)
Ideals are very full, reality is very skinny, things on the battlefield change rapidly, and an inadvertent decision may have a decisive impact on the battle situation.
There were sounds at the four city gates, and the scouts came to report that the offensive in the south of the city was the strongest. There were eight ladders and four towers, and all 15,000 people in the south of the city were pressing down. In addition to the loss of more than 2,000 people in the surprise attack, within a quarter of an hour, In time, two thousand were killed and three thousand wounded. The towers had been pushed under the city gate and the siege began.
"The south of the city? The south of the city is low-lying and easy to defend but difficult to attack. You actually chose to attack from the south of the city?" Shen Lin said in shock.
Guo Shiguang rushed over on horseback and said hurriedly: "Commander, please bring five thousand soldiers and horses. I will go to the south of the city."
"This is the order, take it, the south of the city cannot be broken." Si Xingfang took off the tiger talisman from his waist and threw it to Guo Shiguang.
Guo Shiguang tightened the reins, the horse neighed, turned his head and headed towards the camp: "I will live and die with Chengnan, Commander, don't worry."
"Follow me to the north of the city, tear open his mouth, and swallow him." Si Xingfang's eyes were red, he raised his gun and mounted his horse. Wei Zhong behind him hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Commander, you can't do it. As long as they stand firm, there is nothing they can do. Once they leave the city, The consequences would be disastrous."
Si Xingfang kicked Wei Zhong to the ground with one kick: "Damn it, you said you were guarding the north of the city. Now the north of the city is okay, but the south of the city is not okay? It will take half an hour at least to transfer back and forth. You have done a good job..."
"The scholar is not available. Damn it, it wasn't you. We have already taken it. All four cities have been attacked. There are only a few of 80,000 people. The remaining 20,000 people have to guard the Chinese army's tent. Hetong and I will lead 10,000 people each. From then on, Outflanking, the commander went straight to Huanglong and swallowed him in one bite." Guo Shiguang shouted.
"Go away..." Guo Shiguang put the knife on Wei Zhong's head: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will chop you with one knife."
"No, Commander..." Wei Zhong pulled the reins of Si Xingfang's war horse and refused to let him go. In his opinion, as long as he left the city, the battle would be lost. Now he still had no idea how far the Ningshan Mansion soldiers would go. If you are not familiar with it, if you attack rashly, you will definitely go nowhere.
But Si Xingfang didn't care. Along the way, the complete victory record made him feel that the officers and soldiers of the Xia Dynasty were all idle people. Such a large-scale siege, not to mention the main force, there were 100,000 people here. What are you pretending to be?
"Fuck you, if you don't get out of here, I'll shoot you." Si Xingfang's eyes widened and he cursed, pressing the silver gun against Wei Zhong's chest.
But Wei Zhong still refused to give in. The next moment, Si Xingfang did not hesitate. He provoked Wei Zhong with a gun and threw him down from a high altitude. Wei Zhong vomited blood, but Si Xingfang stepped over him on horseback. , the soldiers behind him also moved forward. Wei Zhong, who was pitifully loyal, was trampled to a pulp in the blink of an eye. Shen Lin, who was about to speak out, saw all this and chose to shut up for the time being.
Si Xingfang and his men arrived at the North City within a quarter of an hour. Street fighting had already begun on the city wall. Under the swords, guns, swords and halberds, blood and flesh were flying everywhere. Thousands of people were fighting in a melee, and the sound of fighting could be heard several miles away. Black smoke billowed. There was fire everywhere.
"Kill, follow me and rush out, go straight to Huanglong..." Si Xingfang shouted loudly and entered the Wengcheng. He waved the spear in his hand and moved forward without hesitation, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.
The 20,000 men and horses, filled with overwhelming fighting spirit, repelled hundreds of people who had stormed the city wall in a matter of seconds. The ladders were overturned, and the towers began to collapse amidst the burning oil and fire.
"Open the city gate..."
Si Xingfang shouted loudly. After repelling the attack from the north gate, about two hours had passed. The east had turned pale and the sun was shining through the black smoke. The attack from the three gates was still continuing. Within two hours,
The three attacks were unsuccessful. When the fourth attack was launched, Si Xingfang opened the north gate.
There were 5,000 defenders in the North City, and the remaining 20,000 horses were infected by Si Xingfang and rushed out of the city gate. The camp at Yima Pingchuan was five miles away. After leaving the city and walking two miles away, you could see the Ning family.
In the light of the fire at the army's camp, the Ning family army advanced several miles in these seven days in order to attack the city, in order to reduce the distance they had to travel during today's night attack.
Si Xingfang also knew this clearly, but the silent night attack still made him suffer. According to his estimation, the Chinese army's tent in Ningshan Mansion now only has 10,000 people. The two of them
Tens of thousands of horses and horses covered them up and captured the Chinese army's tent. Even if Gao Qiu's rear military department came to the rescue, the distance of fifty miles would still take two hours. By then, just burn the tent and retreat to the city to wait for reinforcements.
.
Among the 20,000 horses, 3,000 were from the rivers and lakes, and followed Si Xingfang out of the city. On the one hand, they had not made any meritorious deeds since their surrender. Although they had some official positions, in their opinion, their abilities were far higher than their official positions.
, so we should take this battle as an opportunity,
Killing the enemy and making meritorious deeds, and secondly, taking the head, making a name for yourself in these green forests will also be of great help in the future. These people are faster than ordinary soldiers, rushing to the front, like an arrow.
Like an arrow, it headed towards the main camp of the Ning family army.
They rushed into the camp and fought all the way. Only a few hundred people resisted, and they were all killed.
Si Xingfang reined in the reins. It was already dawn and stopped a few feet away from the camp gate. Five thousand men and horses had already entered the camp gate and started looting. He was slightly shocked. Even if there were still 10,000 people in the Chinese army's tent, there would still be 10,000 men in the camp.
It shouldn't be said that with such strength of resistance, is it possible that everyone is attacking the city? But if it is all done in one battle, it shouldn't be. There are still 10,000 people, can't they escape?
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the thunder and thunder of war drums ringing from the east side. As far as the eye could see, fierce flags were suddenly raised, and the shouts of killing suddenly rose up. A man was wearing black armor, holding hands.
He rushed towards this side with his mace, the sky and the sun were blocked behind him, and the sand and dust were billowing behind him.
Si Xingfang was shocked and turned his horse's head. Just as he was about to speak, he heard war drums playing on the west side. A man wearing a red cloak and holding a silver gun shouted loudly: "Hey, you ignorant boy, why don't you get off your horse quickly and capture us without mercy?"
As he said that, the man waved his silver spear, and the horses behind him neighed, and the swords and spears flashed, and he moved towards the east to cover up the enemy.
"Damn it, I fell into a trap, get out quickly..."
However, the south retreat road was instantly surrounded, and the number of soldiers and horses could not be seen clearly. At this moment, everyone realized that the siege was fake, the ambush was real, and the soldiers and horses here were the real main force, and they hurriedly broke out.
Si Xingfang sat on his horse and looked at the weak defense on the southwest side. He saw flags fluttering with great momentum, but no light or shadow. Thinking of Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide's reckless aggression at Dangyang Bridge, he pointed his spear and said: "Protrude from the southwest..."
Immediately, he took the lead and headed towards the southwest to cover up the enemy. Suddenly, there was a loud and earth-shattering sound behind him. Looking back, he saw that the soldiers who were originally ambush in the haystacks in the camp gate and the grain depot heard the beating of drums and came out from the camp gate.
carried out within
They slashed and killed them all the way out, but the thousands of people who attacked were pitiful. They were all heroes of the forest, and they were good at fighting alone. But this was a military camp, and they were ambushed. They had no intention of fighting and just ran for their lives. Many of them were killed on the spot.
kill.
Si Xingfang led his generals out from the southwest, rushing like a bereaved dog, and busy like a fish that slipped through the net. By the time they arrived at the gate of Chuzhou City, it was already three o'clock in the morning. When looking at Chuzhou City from a distance, there was smoke everywhere, corpses littered the fields, and only one person could benefit from the city wall. Above him, what he held in his hand was the flag of Ningshan Mansion.
"No, the city is broken..." Si Xing's face changed drastically, and he looked up to the sky and sighed: "I regret not listening to Wei Zhong's words..."
At this moment, Shen Lin stepped forward, knowing that the time had come for her to make a contribution, and hurriedly said: "Commander, don't be anxious, I have a good plan..."
