Chapter 454: Bloody Weizhou City
"General Shang, immediately divide the soldiers in the army into three parts and rotate them. Each part is responsible for guarding the city for four hours, so that each part of the soldiers can be revolved for eight hours without affecting combat effectiveness at all. Select a hundred soldiers who are good at riding and shooting in the army. After taking advantage of the darkness, they quietly rid themselves out of the pass and ambush. After hearing the drums and horns, they can take advantage of the situation to kill these fraudulent soldiers. After killing these fraudulent soldiers, they can retreat." Although Xu Wen's face was pale, his eyes were constantly flashing.
"General Kang, half an hour has come again." A soldier asked a young general in a dense forest outside the city.
"Let's go, follow me to beat me again, and the Tang army will definitely have a chance to breathe." Kang Sheng said with hatred in his eyes. In order to avenge his father, Kang Sheng took on the task of harassing the enemy and led 300 drum and musicians to go out of the city to harass the enemy at night.
"Dongdong...Woooo..." The sound of drum music sounded not far outside the city, and Kang Sheng sneered at the chaotic enemy on the city.
While Kang Sheng was sneering, he felt the ground shaking constantly. After a long battle formation, he immediately realized that this was the shock of the cavalry running. Not only was he surprised, he remembered that Zhu Wen did not arrange cavalry to help him. He was shocked and realized that it might be the enemy.
When Kang Sheng realized it was an enemy, Kang Sheng urgently ordered the soldiers to stop beating the drum and prepare to face the enemy. However, the drum and horn sounded very loudly. Only a few people around him heard the chat. When everyone stopped the drum and horn sound, the group of cavalry had already rushed in front of him.
"Shoot the arrow" A command sounded in the darkness, and Kang Sheng heard the sound of the bow and arrow breaking through the air, and hurriedly blocked it with the big knife in his hand.
The screams of "Ah, ah..." continued to sound. Kang Sheng was shocked when he saw the soldiers around him screaming.
"Escape, run quickly." In a panic, the drum and musicians turned around and fled at night. When Kang Sheng saw the enemy rushing towards him, he did not dare to fight, so he had to fight a horse and flee and lead the defeated army back to the camp to report to Zhu Wen.
"Xu Wen sent soldiers to ambush you?" Zhu Wen was shocked when he heard Guan Ping's words. He had already thought about Xu Wen very well, but he didn't expect that when he heard Kang Sheng's words, he realized that he had underestimated Xu Wen's ability.
Zhu Wen, who found that he underestimated Xu Wen's ability, immediately adjusted his mindset and began to look at Xu Wen at the same position as him. Taking advantage of the time when the ladder was not built, Zhu Wen launched another earth digging offensive, trying to create a tunnel to sneak into the city.
But this method is just a piece of cake for Xu Wen, who has been through the battlefield for a long time. Xu Wen ordered the soldiers to fill a large jar with water and place it at the city gate to find out if someone was digging underground. When he found that the horizontal surface was rippling and vibration at night, he ordered the soldiers to dig a trench in advance at the city gate. When the Liang army soldiers dug the tunnel, they asked the soldiers to pour water into the trench. The newly dug tunnel had soft soil on both sides, and immediately collapsed when it was flooded by the heavy water, and hundreds of Liang army soldiers were suffocated to death.
"Xu Wen is really a strong enemy. It seems that I should have made his plan early." After Zhu Wen learned that his plan had failed again, he sighed silently, looking at the camp full of worries. There was such a guard in Weizhou City, and they alone would probably be powerless.
As soon as the ladder was built, Zhu Wen led the army to launch a fierce offensive. Zhang Ke, Kang Sheng and others asked for orders one by one, and rushed to Weizhou City with a determination to die.
With the leadership of these young generals, the Liang army was in the Ai Army and their morale was full of rainbows. On the first day, they attacked the city, which surprised Xu Wen, who was on the pass, could only endure the pain on the pass, and then suppressed the Liang army's soldiers.
After repelling the first wave of Liang's offensive, the soldiers at the close had time to breathe a sigh of relief. Before the Liang's second wave of offensive rushed up. Faced with Zhu Wen's constant attacks day and night, Xu Wen did not dare to leave his post lightly. His already pale face seemed even more unbearable, and his face was as pale as a dead person, scary.
The gong sounded "Ding Ding" and the Liang army, who was sieging the city, retreated like a general amnesty.
"Everyone hurry up and rest, Zhu Wen's army will soon attack again." Ge Congzhou was no longer able to recover from his original spirit. He was exhausted at this moment. The thick armor on his body was dark red. I don't know how much blood was pouring to present such a color.
On the top of the city, when Zhu Wenjun retreated, all the soldiers leaned on the top of the city to rest. Under the command of several soldiers, more than a thousand civilians in the city carried the bodies of their own soldiers on the top of the city and restrained them. As for the corpses of the enemy, they were stacked and placed on the top of the city. This is a good thing that cannot be ruined.
The Liang army was very anxious to attack the city, and the consumption of wooden and rocks was severe. Even if the people demolished the houses, some of them could not keep up with the consumption. The corpses of these enemy troops were placed on the top of the city, just waiting for the enemy to arrive at the city and throw these corpses down, they could kill many enemy troops.
The Shence Army and the soldiers of the three vassal states fell together on the top of the city. At this time, no one had any friction over the differences in the region. Faced with the common enemy, everyone worked together sincerely. The most unhelpful one was the Jingnan army. Nearly 10,000 people were killed in the battle in just three or four days, and more than 5,000 people were killed in the three vassal states guarding the city. The reason why these soldiers were so many was because they were not familiar with the city guarding the city, and many of them were shot to death by the rift arrows.
"General, General, I am incompetent. Let you drag your sick body to the commander." Several generals said with a little ashamed looking at Xu Wen's pale face.
Originally, there were all the bows and crossbows guarding the city, Shang Rang saw that Huo Jun was injured and took the initiative to ask for his orders to ensure that the enemy would not attack the city within three days. Unexpectedly, facing the enemy's crazy attack on the first day, he would have almost lost the pass. If Xu Wen had not arrived after hearing the news, Weizhou City would have changed hands within one day, and Shang Rang would have been extremely ashamed since then.
"General Shang, there are too many uncertain factors on the battlefield. A temporary unsuccessful situation cannot explain anything. Our current task is to defend until the moment of leading reinforcements. This will save our responsibilities." Xu Wen said this, coughed a few more times, and the red spots fell into his hands as he coughed.
"General, your body?" Shang Rang asked hurriedly with concern when he saw Xu Wen vomiting blood.
"Dad!" Xu Jing's eyes were red with anxiety.
