Chapter 310 Soldiers trapped in Bianliang
Shi Jingsi was furious, turned the horse's head, raised the gun with his right hand, and interlaced the two horses, and with one backhand, he took Wang Zhong down the horse with one shot.
However, Wang Zhong's sneak attack also caused Shi Jingsi to suffer a great loss. Shi Jingsi's left flank was bleeding like a spring, but it further aroused Shi Jingsi's blood. In a furious, Shi Jingsi rushed towards Zhu Wen for a while, and used a big gun to pick eight famous generals and fell off the horse. Shi Jingsi's war horse had been cut down in a pool of blood in the rushing battle just now, and a gun hole was stabbed by the other party. The gunshot wound was very serious. Shi Jingsi abandoned the war horse, drew his sword and cut half of the plain robe, used the battle robe to block the bloody gun hole, and then tied it tightly with a tie armor. He grabbed a bossless war horse next to him, turned on the horse, and strangled the horse back.
He stabbed Zhu Wen with his gun straight, but at this time, the archers opposite Zhu Wen had arrived. The sound of the archer kept ringing, and arrows were fired from all directions. Shi Jingsi's big gun kept thrusting the arrow branches, but there were still many arrow branches shooting on him. Shi Jingsi's wounds were so painful that it was difficult to control. He was bleeding too much and had no strength. Shi Jingsi knew that he would die today, so he could only sigh to the sky: "After a battle on the battlefield, he was killed by a traitor today. I wish to die to repay the favor of the King of Jin for his understanding. Prince, we will serve you again in the next life." Then he committed suicide.
In May of the fourth year of Zhonghe, Zhu Wen burned Shangyuan Post and wanted to kill Duan Mingyu, King Li Keyong of Jin, and King Li Keyong of Jin escaped from death. At that time, he reported to the seventh prince Jie. The seventh prince was furious. The Tang court extended his minions to the vassal states for the first time and ordered the two to attack Wen, the governor of the Xuanwu Army. As soon as the king's order came out, the vassal states in all directions were in an uproar.
Three days later, Duan Mingyu's army and Li Keyong's army surrounded Bianliang City on all sides, and the sound of killing shocked the sky.
This is a battlefield of blood and fire. There are soldiers who charge and kill the sky, and there are corpses that lie on pools of blood everywhere. They will never get up again. Perhaps not long ago, these corpses were still living men. Among the thousands of horses of the reader, he was just an insignificant pawn, but in his family, he was a husband who was one head taller than the sky, a father who was three points heavier than the king, and a pillar of a family. Now he was just a corpse that no one could care about taking a look.
If the Xuanwu army looked down from the top of the city, they could see the red tassels on the hats under the city, flying like flames, forming a sea of fire, which made people frightened. There were more than ten thousand people and horses, and there were no borders. At this time, there were more than ten thousand soldiers and horses under the city. It seemed that the Seventh Prince really had a huge momentum of throwing a whip and raising his hands like clouds, which actually made the two groups of soldiers and horses attack the city with all their strength without any suspicion.
In fact, if the defenders at the city were not impatient, they would not have looked at the spectacular scene. The rows of clustered crossbows under the city poured into the city as if they were not spending money. As a result, Duan Mingyu's mortars vented the shells into the city. When each shell fell, a thick black smoke rose up, which made the city full of holes.
The city was made of local materials and made of rammed loess with extremely strong viscosity. After being rammed, this viscous loess was really as strong as cement and had a little more toughness than cement. Now it has become a better support for cities built by stones.
If it is the city wall of a brick and stone station, it will easily break and collapse when hit by such shells.
The Xuanwu Army on the top of the city was also fighting back at Duan and Li's army under the tenacious city. Rows of sharp arrows were creaking and squeaking strings, and then they attacked from the top of the city like locusts.
The two sides had been in a stalemate under the city for half a month. Li Keyong and Li Cunxiao stood on Gaogang, overlooking the shaking capital of Northern Han in front of them. The city was like a lonely boat in the huge waves. It could be covered at any time. But it always appeared on the top of the waves again. The city was like a tireless meat grinder, harvesting lives quickly.
Li Keyong, who has rich experience in the battle formation, is also a kind general who is sympathetic and unwilling to hurt lives without any harm. He didn't know how huge sacrifice it would take to force attack with such cruel means. How many lives would it take to fill it up to fill it. The moat that could never be crossed half a step, but the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Unable to fight, God knows whether the various vassal states would suddenly take action when the two sides were stalemate and each showed fatigue.
Li Cunxiao is really a natural general. People like him were born for the battlefield, and they did not read much in his military books. Zhao Kuo had a father who was a god-like military man who learned a lot of military books since childhood. Few famous generals in the world could argue him, but they were useless when they really went to the battlefield. Sun Wu was somewhat similar to him, but he never started as a young man and was able to win every battle.
Li Cunxiao has not read a few military books. He is not a cultural person. The so-called ability to fight depends entirely on battlefield fighting, blood and fire training, and has no master's ability to learn from the battle formation. His ability to be skilled in battle formations is not inferior to that of famous generals who are "professional". The god of killing, the god of war, and the invincible god Bai Qi, who started with a small hand, also did not even recognize the words, and only knew Temujin, who bent his bow and shot the eagle, was such a famous general.
Li Cunxiao and the others were all the same people. If they were really capable, he would not have so many subordinates who were willing to die, nor would he be entrusted by Li Keyong with an important task. He led the army to guard the important town of Hedong as a foreigner, and was finally given the surname Li. Now that Li Cunxiao has taken the task of attacking Xicheng, he can see his trust on his own, and Li Cunxiao did not do it perfunctorily. Duan Mingyu allocated twenty mortars for him, attacking the city hard once it collapsed a wall and smashed the gate of Xicheng, Li Cunxiao personally waved his double hammers to lead the troops to charge.
The enemy's weakness is the key point of our army's attack. Such an offensive strategy is not wrong anywhere. Although the strategy was correct, the defenders in the city had a good geographical advantage and did not need many soldiers to block the gap tightly. With Li Cunxiao's bravery, he could not even charge forward, but instead left many corpses.
