Chapter 485: Catching the turtle in the urn, the county magistrate is unlucky
"General, it can't be done, the brothers can't attack..." A Sima of the Zhou army, covered in blood, cried sadly to Zhou Chun. When his men entered the city, there were more than 700 people, and it didn't take long.
He lay down more than halfway in the open space of the city gate. With the crossbowmen, battery crossbowmen and bed crossbows on the city tower, although the Han army was small in number, it was able to fight a defensive battle with ease. The Zhou army wanted to attack the Han army near the city gate.
, you have to pay a heavy price of casualties before you can get close.
Zhou Chun narrowed his eyes, with a cold and sinister look on his face, "We have to fight if we can't fight, otherwise we will all be lost here today!"
"General, we can rush in without knocking down the city gate. The wall between the streets is just an earthen wall with wooden rafts. As long as we get close to the bottom of the wall and cut down the wooden pillars on the outside, we can easily do it even without a ladder.
Quickly open a gap.
Our army has heavy shields, and there are Han crossbowmen on the roof, but as long as they are not bed crossbows or chariot crossbows, they cannot penetrate our heavy shields. We rush into the inner city, or find a place to hold on.
Or attack the other three gates, that's fine. It's better than wasting your life under this city gate!" This military Sima was obviously very reluctant to go to the city gate to fight again, but the suggestions he made went through his brain and had a few ideas.
Make sense.
"Come into the inner city?" Zhou Chun was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Misled by his inertial thinking, he really didn't want to rush in where he came from. Looking at the city gate, rows of crossbow arrows were cut down like wheat.
The soldiers of the Zhou army who were shot down looked at the extremely simple barbican wall built in the market streets ahead. They no longer hesitated in their hearts and made up their minds: "Send my order and the whole army will turn around."
The retreated Zhou army once again turned into a tortoise shell, and the distance from the city wall increased to a hundred and fifty steps away. However, under the threat of crossbows on the city wall, the distance between one hundred steps and one hundred and fifty steps away,
Is there any difference for the crossbow? Even the powerful crossbow can shoot across this distance. The strength of the strong bow is two or three times stronger, and the arrows are still lethal when they fly.
Like a wounded tiger, Zhou Chun held up the phoenix-mouthed sword in his hand and roared at the Zhou soldiers: "Brothers, don't panic, follow me and fight to the death, break through the wall, and rush into the inner city! The Han thieves were so upset that they all fell on their backs.
!”
Although the situation was quite unfavorable, Zhou Chun had no intention of giving up. What was his identity? How could he surrender to the Han army?
Moreover, there were nearly 3,000 soldiers around him, each of whom was an elite member of the Zhou army. The total number of Han soldiers in the city was only about 5,000. Compared with such combat strength, his power was not a force that the Han army could decide life and death at will.
Moreover, before entering the city, the sergeants led by Zhou Chun were targeted at the Wengcheng. Now, half of the remaining three thousand troops are sword and shield soldiers, and the rest are archers, sword and spearmen, and sword and axemen.
He is wearing heavy armor.
With such a force, a fierce attack may not lead to a way out. As long as you can open a gap in the earth wall in front and enter the inner city, even if you cannot capture a city gate and escape, you can still survive.
At worst, you can find a piece of territory to hold on to and wait for help.
Even for the entire siege Zhou army, Zhou Chun's best move was to lead his troops to occupy the city!
Because if there is such a powerful hostile force in the city, the Han army must allocate a large part of its energy to take care of the trapped people. How many people can the Han army with a total of only more than 5,000 soldiers be divided into? After allocating these people, defend the rear.
How much of the city's power is left?
Although this is a dangerous journey, it is definitely an opportunity! Crisis is the coexistence of danger and opportunity.
Chen Shiju outside the city was an important general under the King of Tang. His military skills and strategies were not comparable to those of an incompetent man. With him controlling him outside, Zhou Chun was really not afraid of being strangled by the Han army. He believed that Chen Shiju would not give Yun Zheng and Li Xian a chance at all.
Deploy the main force to surround and kill yourself...
The more he thought about Zhou Chun, the more alive his mind became and the brighter his eyes became.
This is the opportunity God gave him! No matter what traps the Han army arranged in the city, Zhou Chun believed in the combat power of his soldiers. In a moment of trance, he saw that he had turned against the enemy and defeated the Han army in one battle.
And the prospect of seizing the city is gone.
Of course, the top priority now is to break down the earth wall in front of you first.
"It's down, it's down, brothers, come up..." Amidst the chaotic and hysterical shouts of countless Zhou soldiers, wooden pillars were dug out and moved to the ground. The earth and rocks bound by the wooden pillars slipped away one after another.
After a while, the earthen wall turned into a small earthen slope four feet high.
"It really shouldn't be underestimated..." Li Xian, the commander in the city, saw everything in his eyes and felt a little sad in his heart. The two to three thousand Zhou troops in the city were undoubtedly quite elite and well-trained.
You can still have such strong fighting spirit under difficult circumstances. If you can escape today's catastrophe, you will be a true iron-blooded soldier.
Li Xian did not deliberately release the water at all. The earth wall was inherently inadequate, and it took only two quarters of an hour for Zhou soldiers to dig out a gap.
These Zhou soldiers, whether they are shield soldiers, sword players, archers, sword and spear soldiers, and sword and ax players, cooperate with each other very well and have a firm will to fight. Many sword players who were injured by arrows remained standing until they died.
Not moving.
"Charge, charge over..." Zhou Chun had already descended to the ground. Although the war horse under his crotch was a BMW, he loved it very much, but now he had to give up it if he wanted to rush into the inner city.
Li Xian, who was hiding in a restaurant, called to the guards around him, "Let's go down!" In the courtyard below the restaurant, hundreds of heavy armored infantry and a group of crossbowmen were waiting in formation. On the roofs of the surrounding rooms of the restaurant,
There are also six to seven hundred armored soldiers and no less than that number of strong bows and crossbows. Of course, we cannot rely solely on these soldiers and horses to control all the Zhou troops entering the city, but Zhou Chun will not give up if he wants to enter the inner city.
The section of the North-South Avenue behind the earthen wall and the restaurant is the next main battlefield.
A city at the county level is usually a Tianzi grid. There is a north-south avenue, an east-west avenue, the four street entrances are the four city gates, and the center point of the intersection is the county government office.
The Zhou soldiers will definitely follow the main road to kill. The troops around the restaurant are the main force to deal with this caged tiger. Coupled with the troops in the surrounding alleys, they have an absolute geographical advantage, with two-thirds of the
The force is sufficient to defeat the enemy.
And two thousand men was the largest number of troops that the Han army could squeeze out.
"Huh -" Zhou Chun, who broke through the earth wall and rushed in along the avenue, led his troops for more than a hundred steps, but he didn't encounter anyone, whether it was ordinary people or the defeated Han soldiers. "They are all gone."
?" Zhou Chun frowned and looked around. He seemed to have seen some figures moving on the slope just now. Why can't he find even one now?
"Archers go up to the room, be alert on all sides, the rest don't stop, keep moving forward -" Although Zhou Chun felt a little uneasy and uneasy, he couldn't do it without rushing. He walked to the front with his sword, and the general took the lead, slightly agitated.
The shaking military spirit immediately stabilized.
"General, Zhou has been tricked, why don't you do it now..." Out of sight of the Zhou army and Zhou Chun, several Han army officers were with Li Xian, quietly sizing up the enemy.
A layer of hot sweat formed on Zhou Chun's palms, and he watched Zhou Chun's every move nervously, "No, wait a minute!" Although Zhou Chun's personal value is very important, compared to the more than 2,000 Zhou Chun troops behind him,
Much worse. Now the Han army seems to have no worries, but its actual form is not very good. It was able to deceive the Zhou army three times in a row. Now it is deceiving the fourth time. It uses surprise and the opposite approach.
The way to defend the city].
It can be said that they are following a heretical path, not the right path. As long as the Zhou army reacts and no longer thinks of a quick victory, but instead uses upright troops to besiege them on all sides, it won't take long for Ling'an County to be exhausted. The five thousand Han soldiers will not be exhausted at all.
But Zhou Jun!
Unless the Han army can abandon the four walls and retreat into the city to resist.
But if this is the case, without the care of the city, even if all the troops retreat into the city, they will still be trapped in the urn. The Zhou army only needs to look at the direction of the wind and be ready to attack, and the Han army can be eliminated with a fire. It will be even more painful.
There are tens of thousands of people in Ancheng.
Therefore, compared with Zhou Chun, the more than 2,000 Zhou soldiers behind him are a more important target. To defeat the more than 2,000 Zhou soldiers in the city and eliminate hidden dangers, Li Xian cannot only consider Zhou Chun now, then
A large trap group is enough to trap hundreds of people in front and behind, and it can also cut off the Zhou army into several pieces in a short period of time. If used to deal with Zhou Chun alone, even if they are together, it will affect dozens of people.
Having too many miscellaneous fish would be too much of a waste. So, you have to wait a while.
Zhou Chun moved forward steadily, but the uneasiness in his heart was getting bigger and bigger. He had been in the army for more than ten or twenty years, and he had never been as uneasy as he was today. "Is it possible that ahead..." deep in his soul
Zhou Chun's restlessness made Zhou Chun hesitate a little. But he knew that at this time, the general must be more decisive and firm. The more than two thousand soldiers behind him were looking at him deeply, and he must not show any hesitation at this time.
Taking long strides, Zhou Chun focused on the roof lattice on both sides...
Silence, silence. Even the Zhou soldiers felt something was wrong. They no longer had the excitement of rushing through the earth wall. The whole army instantly sank like a pool of stagnant water.
………………
The easternmost county in Zhaozhou.
After traveling for a night and 200 miles, Zhu Biao finally left Yuzhou and entered Zhaozhou.
At Chen time, five thousand Han troops surrounded the county town. After a bumpy night on the carriage, I couldn't sleep well and had an unstable sleep. They all came down to stretch their muscles and breathe fresh air.
As a place that has not been visited by the locust army, it is all fat and oily from Jianyang City to the west. Zhu Biao took the journey as his first goal and packed up two inns along the way, as well as the Yiying Inn on the edge of the official road.
, the hotel has gathered another one or two hundred carriages and a group of horses. Needless to say, there is food, chicken, duck, fish and meat. There is plenty of oil and water, which is better than ordinary small landowners!
Is food a major factor in ensuring the combat effectiveness of the army?
As expected, the well-fed and well-fed Han troops were all brave. Without the white-robed military talisman, they captured the county in one charge.
The horses need to regain their strength and rest. Zhu Biao has to stop in this county! He deserves the misfortune of the county magistrate. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
