Chapter 045: Surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao(2/2)
"Tell the brothers to rest for a cup of tea. After a cup of tea, break camp!"
"General, where are we going?" Shitou asked.
Gu Er looked to the northwest and said: "Shen County!"
Shitou's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately gave a thumbs up: "Surround Wei and save Zhao, the general is really good!"
Gu Er waved to Shi Shi and said, "Come here!"
Shitou hurriedly approached, and Gu Er whispered a few words in Shitou's ear. The expression on Shitou's face couldn't help changing, and then he nodded with admiration: "As expected of a general, I will go now!"
After a cup of tea, the army set out again!
Half a day later, outside Shen County, a large flag with the character Gu was fluttering in the wind. Shitou, dressed in military uniform, sat on a tall horse. With a wave of his sword, drums beat and trumpets blared, and two thousand foot soldiers immediately pushed the ladder and collided with it.
The city hammer, carrying the solid shields, pushed the well railings and slowly surged towards the city wall like a tide.
The rebels originally had about 6,000 troops stationed in Shen County. In addition, the manpower recruited in Shen County was only a small amount of money. Now they sent 5,000 troops to attack Luzhou. These 5,000 must be the elite of the rebel army.
Those who stayed behind in Shen County were either new troops or old and weak.
Some of them had never even been on the battlefield, and Gu Er was convinced of this, so he asked Shitou to lead two thousand soldiers and horses to attack.
However, although the rebels left behind in Shen County were not elite, Shitou and his soldiers and horses were also not elite. Shitou followed Gu Er's instructions and asked his four battalions to attack in turn, not giving the defenders in the city a chance to breathe.
Chance.
In just one day, he scaled the city wall several times, almost breached the city, killed hundreds of thieves, and injured or damaged no more than a hundred people in total.
In the evening, outside Luzhou City, in the rebel camp, the rebel army that had been attacking Luzhou for a whole day was showing some signs of fatigue. The rebel leader listened to the words of the messenger and stood up in disbelief.
"What? The army is attacking Shen County?" The general couldn't believe his ears: "Where did the army come from?"
The messenger said with a frightened look: "The official army is flying the banner of Wuwei Army, hanging the flag of Gu Zishuai, at least there are thousands of troops, and all kinds of siege equipment. If the general hadn't ordered people to block the city gate,
I'm afraid the city will be destroyed today."
"Didn't the Wuwei Army be defeated by us? Their commander named Xie had his head chopped off by me. Where did the thousands of troops come from? Can you see clearly?"
"It's really an ineffective army, and the thousands of people and horses are all young and strong, and they are not afraid of death. They are pushing a tall chariot. The officers and soldiers stand on the high platform of the chariot and shoot us with divine arm crossbows."
Brothers on the city wall, our bows and arrows are not as good as those of the official army, so we can only be suppressed and beaten by them. By the end of the day, we old brothers have already lost more than a hundred people."
