Although the battle outside the city ended, people's hearts did not calm down. Especially after seeing Hu Luguang fighting the enemy outside the city and returning without success, the officers and soldiers of Jin Yong City also felt heavy and complicated.
After the strike outside the city, the Wei army did not stop there. They sent more troops to the Tushan Mountain south of Jinyong City and transported stone bullets to the Tushan Mountain. Soon after, the sound of stone bullets was heard in the city again.
After being subjected to such attacks for several days, since the landing points of these stone bullets are generally in a relatively fixed area, the defenders in the city are no longer as panicked as they were initially. As long as they avoid these areas, they will basically not
What injuries and effects were suffered.
Even so, the huge sound caused by those stone bullets falling into the city is still quite thrilling. Even if they have figured out the pattern of their attacks, whenever the enemy launches such an attack again, the defenders in the city will also
They all tried to reduce their range of activities and sought cover to hide themselves.
In order to avoid these stone bullets, Hulujin simply moved his camp from the state capital in the city to near the city gate. With the huge bunker of the city wall, he could ignore the stone bullet attacks.
But physical blows can be avoided, but today's stone bullet attack adds a bit of heart-wrenching irony, making people feel more and more irritable under the roar of stone bullets.
When Hu Lujin walked down the city wall and was having dinner in the camp with a lot of things going on, a general from outside the tent came in and reported: "To the Grand Master, I was too timid to go out of the city today and did not dare to attack. All the criminals have already been captured in the tent."
Now, I respectfully ask the Taiwei to cut it off."
After hearing this, Hu Lujin frowned. He put down the tableware in his hands and walked out of the tent. He saw many soldiers kneeling in front of the tent with their arms tied behind their backs.
These people were all soldiers he sent outside the city to attack Tushan during the day. However, they were influenced by the enemy's shouts and did not attack forward. After returning to the city, they were all captured because they were afraid of fighting.
In addition to these criminals, there are many other generals guarding the city, including Zhaojun Wang Gao Rui, who are also standing here. They also want to see how Hu Lujin will deal with these disobedient soldiers.
Seeing this scene, Hu Lujin sighed deeply in his heart. He walked slowly to a general who was kneeling in front of the tent, bent down to untie him and helped him up. Then he said in a deep voice: "Thief General Li Boshan.
There are many tricks and tricks, and they are often used to kill people's hearts. Even many generals in the country are not immune to them. You and others are temporarily deceived by his evil words, but as long as you can wake up in time, you are not guilty."
"Thank you so much, Grand Master, for your kindness!"
The soldiers who were waiting for punishment were overjoyed after hearing this and hurriedly kowtowed and thanked them. When the generals standing around and watching saw this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
After pardoning these soldiers, Hu Lujin simply invited Gao Rui and others into the account, preparing to discuss the plan based on today's changes in the situation.
"Li Boshan's cunning and ferocious nature has been heard in the past but not seen in person. Today I finally saw it. This thief's treacherous plan is really hard to guard against, and he can be taken advantage of if he is not careful. No wonder the Grand Master had to give up the details and stick to the fundamentals before, like this
Caution will inevitably be restrained, and if the armies are still divided into different parties, their respective situations will surely be even more dangerous!"
After sitting down in the tent, Gao Rui couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't even imagine that the war could be fought like this. Hu Lujin, who was originally the senior minister of the country, and Hu Lujin, who was the backbone and famous general
Luguang, after being provoked by his people several times, caused chaos and was unable to cope with the situation.
Hearing Gao Rui praise his foresight, Hu Lujin didn't look happy at all. Of course, this was not something to be happy about originally, but it was just a lesson learned. But now it seems that his
The growth in wisdom still cannot keep up with the iteration of Li Boshan's tricks. Every time he fights with him, this guy always has new tricks that make people overwhelmed.
"Everyone has seen the battle outside the city today. Our division, Brigadier Lang, is not not brave enough, but the bandits are formidable and cannot be underestimated. The hard battle will be fruitless but will result in the loss of troops. What is the plan for the future? Can you each have a plan?"
Hu Lujin looked around at everyone present, and immediately spoke.
Everyone was stunned after hearing this. Didn't they agree to stay in the city before, so why are they now asking what they should do?
After a little thought, everyone quickly figured out why Hulujin's attitude and rhetoric changed before and after. It was simply because of his son Huluguang who was outside the city.
Hu Luguang was threatened, forced and humiliated by Li Boshan in the name of filial piety, so he had to attack the enemy under unfavorable circumstances. Today's battle situation also shows that Hu Luguang's troops are far from the enemy's opponent.
If we continue to fight, we may inevitably die outside the city.
Therefore, Hu Lujin no longer wanted to hold on to the city as before. He probably wanted to send troops out of the city to fight the enemy, hoping to reverse the situation of the battle by attacking from both inside and outside.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Hu Lujin knew what they were thinking. After a brief pause, he said: "Li Boshan is a traitor among thieves. He has endless tricks. You and other people have also seen it. Fight with him."
Be careful not to stand for a long time, for a long time will lead to change. How can there be anyone in the world who is always accompanied by tigers and wolves and survives the disaster? The best strategy is to fight quickly and stay far away!"
"But now there are sand embankments outside the city, and thieves are so fierce that they rush to fight, I'm afraid..."
The other generals were intimidated by Hu Lujin's prestige and qualifications. Even if they had different opinions in their hearts, they did not dare to directly question it for a while. After hearing this, Gao Rui couldn't help but hesitantly said. He said before that holding on to the fortified city is
You, now you are the one who talks about a quick victory, can you still have an accurate idea?
Hu Lujin also knew that his change of rhetoric was a bit far-fetched, and even he could not convince himself, but sometimes it is really difficult for people to be absolutely calm and rational, especially when he sees his most outstanding son being burdened by friendship.
And the futile efforts that shook a tree made him even more heartbroken. He was especially worried that he might have to see his son killed in the enemy's battle line with his own eyes.
Since ancient times, kindness has never been in charge of troops. For most of Hulu Jin's life, tens of thousands of people died directly and indirectly in his hands. Of course, his heart is very hard, but that is towards outsiders, but towards his own son,
However, he could not do anything about it and let him die without doing anything.
Seeing that all the generals were silent, he simply stood up from his seat, bowed deeply to everyone and said: "The plan to deal with the enemy before was not comprehensive enough, which caused the bandit army to fortify the city and cut off our inside and outside. Now that the reinforcements have arrived, we fought hard to relieve the siege.
If our division and brigade are still unable to retreat, there is no doubt that Liang’s reinforcements are enthusiastic.
Besides, people can only be saved by saving themselves. Because the outside helper is my son, he is confused by the thieves with their rational and heretical theories, so it is difficult for me to defend myself. In the future, I will be the pioneer under the city. If the victory is won, it will be the work of all the generals. If not, it will be my fault.
After the town is over, can you ask the king to sit in the town and order the armies to advance and retreat?"
"No matter who the outside aid is, can we wait for a long time to close the city gate and die in the city? Today, the Grand Master, father and son, and the troops inside and outside, work together to defeat the thief!"
Although everyone was more or less affected by the shouts of some enemy soldiers, in the end, the friendship that they had worked with each other for many years became deeper and more sincere. When they heard what Hu Lujin said, even some generals couldn't help but stand up and echoed.
After hearing this, Prince Gao Rui of Zhao County also nodded and said: "The Grand Master has the ambition to kill the enemy and destroy the thieves, but I can tolerate their obstruction? The Grand Master will just go attack the thieves and show off the power of our army, and I will guard the way behind!"
So after the generals reached a consensus, the defenders in the city no longer stayed on standby, but began to prepare for battle. The city gate passage blocked by wood and stone was then opened, and the soldiers polished their armor and sharpened their swords.
Waiting for dawn.
The next day, the sky was still gloomy with no clear sky. The Heyang cannon on Tushan roared all night, and finally became quiet at dawn. However, the gate of Jinyong City, which had been closed, slowly opened, and the veteran general Hu
Wearing armor, Lujin slowly walked out of the city under the escort of his own soldiers, followed by thousands of troops in the city.
Soon, this situation was reported to Li Tai in Henan City and Hu Luguang near Baima Temple.
Li Tai did not panic when he learned about this. After a simple breakfast, he led a group of soldiers to the front line. As for Hu Luguang of Baima Temple, he felt happy and worried at the same time when he learned that his father had led the army to the war.
After a moment of silence, he sighed: "My father is still in his sixties and still has to join the battle, which is really embarrassing for his children and grandchildren!"
After saying this, he ordered his troops to quickly put on their armor and prepare for battle outside Jinyong City. However, at this time, another general raised objections and said: "Yesterday's plan was to wait for King Pingyuan and King Fufeng to lead their troops to join forces.
If we fight again, if we fight again today, I’m afraid we may still have many men and horses left!”
Hu Luguang felt ashamed that he had not been able to defeat the enemy and rescue his father yesterday. The roar of Heyang cannons continued to torture him all night long.
He knew in his heart that his father went to war today just to support him, fearing that he would repeat yesterday's situation of losing troops and generals. When he heard the general's dissuasion, he sighed and said: "The heroes of the Han Dynasty are not as good as the layman Hu Lu Mingyue."
"I can't help my father in danger, and I feel uneasy."
After saying this, he got on his horse again and led his troops straight to the battlefield outside Jin Yong City.
At this time, outside Jin Yong City, the formations were once again arrayed. Li Tai's Xiangyang troops were still positioned at yesterday's position, but today's situation has become a situation where they are attacked from both sides.
Hu Lujin led his troops to the foot of Jin Yong City, while Hu Lu Guang led his troops to dismount and gear up a few miles away in front of the Wei army's formation, ready to attack. Although there were layers of sand embankments between the two sides, it was difficult to directly communicate with each other through eyes and words. Although they were in different places, they seemed to be one and the same.
"Kill!"
As the charge horn sounded, the defenders of Jinyong City took the lead in launching an attack on the Wei army. Their first attack direction was the mountain in the south of the city that had caused them great harassment in recent days. They wanted to capture the mountain and rob and destroy the harassing people. Human Heyang Cannon.
Since Tushan is too close to the Jinyong City Wall, the nearby area is also within the range of enemy arrows. Therefore, except for the construction of a long sand embankment wall on the south side of Tushan, there is not much cover on the northwest sides of Tushan. Enemies can climb directly up.
Of course, such an upward attack posture is not conducive to progress, so the top of the city also launched an attack outwards at the same time. The arrows fell like locusts, suppressing the defenders on the mountain. At the beginning of the battle, the defenders in Jinyong City showed a strong momentum. It seemed that they wanted to vent the accumulated depression from being besieged for days through fighting.
Relatively speaking, the Wei army's response was not active enough. Only the soldiers stationed on the mountain were holding large cowhide shields to resist the arrows on the city wall, while they were busy playing with the Heyang cannons installed on the mountain. It seems that they want to dismantle and move these Heyang cannons before the enemy attacks them.
After seeing this scene, all the officers and soldiers of the Qi army were greatly encouraged. They had been suppressed in the city before, and their hearts were full of worry and depression. But when they actually went out to fight, they found that the enemy army did not seem to be that scary. Therefore, many soldiers who were waiting in formation in front of the city were gearing up and wanted to enter the formation immediately to kill the enemy.
Hu Lujin knew that his men's strength could not be wasted, especially the long fortifications built by the enemy outside the city were very tight. If they rushed forward regardless of the situation, it would easily turn into a critical battle in which they gave up their defensive advantage. Therefore, the main point of today's battle was It lies in the mutual cooperation between the inside and outside, so that the enemy is exhausted to deal with it, and more mistakes and loopholes are exposed between the alternating attacks and defenses, thereby disintegrating its front.
Therefore, he did not immediately order the entire army to attack. Instead, while sending a group of troops to attack Tushan, the army as a whole did not attack. He then sent people to issue charging drums outside the city, and harassed them with the high-speed clutches of the cavalry. Discover the enemy's dispatch patterns on the defense line.
Outside the long siege, after Hu Luguang heard the drum order, he immediately ordered his troops to mount their horses and charge towards the enemy formation. Because his father, who had the inside, led the defenders to respond, he had to be more aggressive and unrestrained in today's battle. , no longer cautiously wandering around and testing like yesterday, but rushed along the enemy's flank.
Since some of the Wei army officers were deployed inside the long siege today to set up defenses to meet the enemy, the formation outside the long siege today was much weaker than yesterday. Hu Luguang saw at a glance the enemy general who almost surrounded and killed him yesterday. Pointing at the opponent with the horse's spear in his hand, he would then gallop his horse into the formation.
Today, Wu Mingche and the soldiers in the formation are also quite nervous. Although they are quite confident in the long fortifications, they believe that the enemy will not be able to break through easily, and they will inevitably be attacked from both sides. Once the battle becomes fierce, it may be difficult for the inside and outside to flexibly interact with each other.
Support.
Moreover, Wu Mingche also noticed that this morning some of King Taiyuan's personal troops were arranged in the internal front line, and there were not many troops stationed around Dahu. If the enemy generals broke up the front line, they might directly disturb King Taiyuan's location.
Therefore, Wu Mingche also looked tense and walked among the battle formations to encourage his troops, making sure to block the enemy generals within the formation and prevent them from disturbing the rear.
Seeing that the distance between the two sides was gradually getting closer, Wu Mingche also listened attentively to the drum orders coming from the Chinese army behind him. As the drum orders sounded, he subconsciously shouted: "Left... withdraw sideways?"
After the command was shouted out, the soldiers in the formation immediately started to execute it. Wu Mingche looked back in the direction of the Chinese army with a look of surprise. Why did the Chinese army make such a random order at this critical moment when they were attacked from both sides?
Not to mention Wu Mingche, who suspected that he had received the wrong order, even Hu Luguang, who was charging towards the enemy formation, was surprised when he saw the enemy formations lined up like a tide, and the Chinese army's banner was directly exposed.
And in front of the great banner, there was a general wearing bright light armor, with tiger pattern armor on his face, a white horse on his crotch, and a spear like a dragon in his hand. His power was like a rainbow, and he was charging straight towards the outside of the formation. And in this silver armor
Behind the general on the white horse, hundreds of warriors followed him like a shadow, rushing towards him at lightning speed.
I recall that in the past I captured tigers and wolves, and that my sword had not drank blood for a long time. Now that I have returned to battle, I am invincible!
Wu Mingche and other people from the Southern Dynasties may be a little unfamiliar with the other side of King Taiyuan, but as Li Tai put on his armor and galloped out, all the Xiangyang Army officers and soldiers on the entire battlefield were full of morale, waving their arms and shouting: "Kill the enemy and destroy the thief."
, the king is mighty!”
The enemy's formation suddenly changed. Hu Luguang and others were unable to retreat because there was no obstruction in front of them, and they rushed straight into the enemy's formation. Li Tai personally led his troops to cut into his formation from the side like a sharp knife, and the entire Qi army formation
It was cut open diagonally, and once it was penetrated to the bottom, the original formation was no longer possible. The group of disciples panicked, each controlled their horses, and ran away left and right.
The dragon-marked spear in Li Tai's hand is like a dragon going out to sea. The sharp blade is like a silver thread piercing and cutting. Everywhere it goes, the skin and flesh of people and horses are torn and blood is splashed. The disciples behind him are guarding the left and right, either stringing the string to snipe the enemy, or waving.
After finishing the attack, he ran forward and backward, intercepting and cutting the enemy formation into pieces. Only a quarter of an hour passed after the rush, and the enemy formation was completely disrupted.
When he led his troops back to the main camp of the Chinese army, he threw off the tiger-striped mask that was attached to his pocket, threw the bloody spear in his hand towards the still chaotic enemy formation, and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "Kill the thief! Get the spear."
