Even the Tudou Corps, which had been trying to kill Huangfu Song but had never succeeded but never given up their efforts, was thrown into chaos because of this sudden attack. They really couldn't understand why they were completely unable to kill him just now.
The dead opponent fell down in an instant, and it seemed that the person who killed this troublesome opponent was one of their own soldiers.
At least it looks like a clay doll, and it is also wearing armor that only soldiers wear, and has a bun on its head that only soldiers wear.
But who is this guy?!
For most people and people, this is a question that is extremely difficult to answer.
It's a pity that the culprit who killed Huangfu Song disappeared into the crowd the next moment. He looked like a professional assassin who could escape thousands of miles away if he missed a hit. However, the costumes of those local puppets were unprecedentedly lovesick.
, even if they are stationary and arranged neatly, it is not very easy to distinguish each of them, let alone the current situation is so chaotic.
However, this stagnation only lasted for a few short moments. Both the living and the puppets who were originally stunned seemed to have restarted the scene where the pause button had been pressed. How to fight still remains
How to fight.
It's just that the atmosphere between the two parties seems to have become a little different.
The puppets were naturally very excited, and some even used their ugly voices to make roars that were more terrifying than wild beasts. The wall that was originally used to block the rescue of the living also became loose. Apparently, after the main target was eliminated,
, Dopple Corps
These troops can be invested in the more important battlefield sweeps. As for the remaining ten or so Huangfu Song's personal guards, they have no previous value in the eyes of Tudou. Any soldiers left can deal with these already
A living person who has lost his backbone.
The actions of the Tudou Corps made more people realize the outcome of this spontaneous rescue. Many soldiers burst into tears on the spot - crying and shouting the name of their beloved coach while desperately fighting against the enemy.
Go and don't care about your own defense at all. It seems that you are determined to die and continue the rest of the battle with the idea of dying together with the enemy.
Especially the dozen or so remaining personal guards looked like mad dogs. While protecting Huangfu Song's lifeless body, they charged ferociously at any enemy around them, regardless of the feeling of being hit.
They don't care whether it's clay or steel, whether their hands are made of flesh or not.
It doesn't matter whether you are blurred or simply lose your arms, as long as you can continue to fight. Use the weapons in your hands, use your angry fists, or simply bite with your only hard teeth, as long as you can hurt the enemy in front of you, any means,
All methods present no problems to these personal guards.
Speaking of which, they are not Huangfu Song's old subordinates. Most of the personal guards who once followed Huangfu Song in his wars in the north and south, sought out the Yellow Turbans and rejected the Qiang and Hu, have now retired to seclusion because of their age. Somewhere in the manor of the Huangfu Song family.
A career. Those who follow him now were all recruited and established by Huangfu Song after he became the principal of the military academy.
These people all have a common characteristic, that is, they are all children of common people, or simply put, they are all children of ordinary farmers. They missed the best opportunity to enter school and have no talents except a handful of strength.
Even though some of them were from Xiliang, some were from Bingzhou, and some were from the prosperous land of Three Rivers, without Huangfu Song's attention, they might have been able to stay with the loess throughout their lives instead of experiencing such a magnificent life.
Therefore, because of an accident, Geng Quan was valued by Huangfu Song and recruited into this team. These personal guards were more or less a little jealous, but they also took it for granted, because they entered here and it was not a kind of
Lucky.
Perhaps becoming soldiers requires greater risks, just like today, but they have no regrets, not only because Huangfu Song treated them extremely well and was always kind except during training, but also because of the fate of their families.
Their luck has changed, and the good life they live now is attributable to Huangfu Song's favor for them.
Because of this, even if there are no articles in the military law related to the responsibilities of the personal guards to the generals, these people will make the same choice - except for those who bear important responsibilities, the rest of them will die.
Pay back!
The news of Huangfusong's death spread quickly as the target and method of attack of the Tu Dou Corps changed. Even the logistics personnel and others hiding behind the city wall also knew the news. Obviously, there may also be Tu Dou among them.
The Corps has
This means that after all, in the previous attack, everyone has concluded that Chang'an City can persist until now because of the support of veteran generals like Huangfu Song. But now that spiritual pillar has fallen, then
Chang'an City's will to resist...
"I will fight for Marshal Huangfu!"
It is true that the spiritual pillar has indeed collapsed, but at the moment when the news was confirmed, the defenders still broke out with amazing fighting passion, even overcoming physical fatigue and the fear of unknown opponents. Look
The momentum was so overwhelming that it even drove many soldiers from the local army off the city wall at one point, which reversed the originally precarious situation a lot.
Of course, such a result was not unexpected for the commanders of the Doppler Corps who had seen too many wars. In fact, the commanders of the Doppler Corps who had collected enemy intelligence well from the beginning
I think that the Bingzhou Army is obviously a very difficult opponent, just like the country that once occupied the Bingzhou area, and it must not be taken lightly.
The subsequent battles indeed confirmed the judgment of these people. Perhaps because of the innate physical conditions of the Doppler Corps, they have far greater personal combat effectiveness than before. Coupled with their original will and obedience to orders, they also have the ability to fight.
The fanaticism makes even the most unconfident person in the Doppler Corps feel that the final victory will belong to them.
However, the difficulty of the process is still controversial.
However, the Bingzhou Army allowed them time and time again to experience the accumulation of development of the living era and their innovative brains.
If such an opponent can't muster up his spirit, then failure may not be a fantasy.
It is precisely because of this kind of psychological preparation that the Tudou Corps continued their suppressive tactics against Chang'an City for a long time even if they clearly had sufficient advantages. How could such caution be compromised because of Huangfusong's death?
Change.
Being at a disadvantage now does not mean that we are really inferior to the opponent, but it is just like Cao GUI’s comment - "At one go, it will weaken, and then it will be exhausted." As long as it can withstand the enemy's last counterattack with courage, then there will be no spiritual support.
Of them, no one can muster their courage. Fear will rise from the bottom of their hearts, and physical fatigue will speed up the speed at which those negative emotions take over the body. And by that time, even in the city that once fought desperately, there will only be
All that's left are piles of walking dead.
At that time, the war will become simpler, and the losses of the local army will be smaller.
It is enough to survive this period of time when the defenders' momentum explodes.
Of course, this does not mean that the Tudou Corps will choose to retreat. Temporarily avoiding the edge just means that the Tudou Corps will not take the initiative to attack at this time. Even if it seems that the balance of the war has tilted towards the defenders, they are still fighting.
A Great Wall of Earthen Dolls was built on top of the city. When the stormy waves set off by the defenders shattered the Great Wall of Earthen Dolls, they themselves also split and even shattered.
All in all, the commanders of the Tudou Corps would not let the defenders' momentum rise to a pace beyond their control.
Because, in that case, it is very likely that new heroes will be born among the defenders during the battle, and then under the leadership of these new heroes, the defenders will easily find new spiritual leaders, and then the defenders will continue to maintain their momentum.
The army soldiers will maintain the same combat effectiveness as before in the next battle with a mournful attitude.
No, it is even possible to become stronger and more difficult to defeat, because these defenders will also gain confidence in this battle. This will also make the Tupou Corps' previous pressure on Chang'an City become an empty talk.
Even those soldiers who do not need spiritual support still have the belief to win, but without the cover of mystery, the possibility of victory for the Doppler Corps is reduced by another 30%.
All this means that the hard-working plan of the Doppler Corps has completely become a moon in the water, a flower in the mirror, and has been wasted.
This is obviously something that the commanders of the local army cannot tolerate.
In fact, the benefits of this can be seen clearly by the knowledgeable people among the defenders. They also know very well that now has reached a key point in the entire battle. If the enemy's attack can be repelled in one go, then Chang'an City still has
We have to defend for a while, but if we can't repel the enemy in this situation, then Chang'an City will be captured in a day or two.
It's just that they know this truth. But they can't find any strength to smash these groups of people who are as hard as turtle shells, and every counterattack can cause various kinds of paralysis and even chaos in their own side.
Doll soldiers.
Huangfu Song should have some back-ups, but with his death, no one knows what kind of back-up he left behind, how to contact those back-ups, and when to activate them. The result came out
Apart from a desperate fight, there were no other actions to coordinate, so the precious fighter planes were just passing by helplessly.
Is there really no way out?
Behind the city wall where the garrison soldiers could not see, teams were gathering. In order to maintain the defense line at the city head, the crossbows of the Tudou Corps extended their fire coverage back to the city wall, allowing the rear to relatively speaking
It was easier to assemble troops in a relatively safe environment, and these newly assembled troops
This team is not ordinary cannon fodder. Some of them wear feather fans and turbans, or hold swords in their hands, and are dressed like civil servants. Some of them wear short shirts and shorts, revealing ferocious muscles. They look like handymen carrying goods for the chamber of commerce.
Next to these "men" were huge trebuchets, ballistas and other large equipment.
"Mr. Zhao, everything is ready. Now that General Huangfu has unfortunately passed away, I can only leave this order to you."
"Have you made up your mind? The next battle will be cruel."
"...Yes, we have no choice for the city protected by General Huangfu."
"Then why did you give me the power to issue orders?"
"Because you are highly respected, everyone can trust your decision. In comparison, I am young..."
"But I am no longer a white man at this time, and you, Ji Ping, are an important member of the Han Dynasty. If I were to give you orders, and you obeyed my orders, we would have nothing to do with those who are causing trouble.
What’s the difference?”
The two people who are talking, the younger one is Wei An and Wei Jiping, the concubine of the Wei family in Hedong who has followed Li Shushi since Xihe until today. As the governor of the North, he should not have appeared here in the first place.
Huangfusong planned to consult Wei An about the movements of the barbarians in the Northland.
An Jing respected the old general Huangfu Song for his kindness and talent, and saw that there was nothing serious in the county. So he came in person, obviously to speak more clearly and carefully, but secretly to take the opportunity to ask Huangfu Song.
Ask for advice, whether it's military management strategies or some academic issues.
It's just that he never thought that not long after arriving in Chang'an, something like this would happen, which forced Wei An to stay in Chang'an. However, Wei An himself did not think this was a bad thing. On the contrary, he was happy to be able to be by Huangfu Song's side.
I am very happy to receive his guidance through words and deeds.
As for the old man who looks very old but has an unusually straight waist, his background is even greater. He is the grandson-in-law of the great scholar Ma Rong. At the same time, like Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan and others, the great scholar Zhao also consulted Ma Rong for his knowledge.
Qi Zhao Bingqing.
With his knowledge, it is not difficult to get a good official position in Bingzhou. In fact, he was recommended by Ma Rixi, and Li Shushi himself admired the old man's character. Li Shushi actually hoped that he could become his
Subordinate. Just
Because his stay under Li Shushi's rule was largely due to Li Shushi's compulsion, it was obviously impossible for him to give Li Shushi a good look. Like many people who were left behind, he hid in the official school or library, as if
He can't hear what's going on outside the window.
Li Shushi couldn't say he was satisfied with this result. But he didn't do anything more - anyway, this was his bottom line.
If it weren't for Huangfu Song's invitation this time, I'm afraid Zhao Qi would still be the "Dr. Zhao" with a high reputation in official circles.
So he is unwilling to issue orders. I am afraid that in addition to the reasons he said, he also does not want to have too much contact with the Bingzhou Army. Although in this case, he has done too much for himself.
He did something against his will.
However, whenever he thought of the innocent people in the city and what might happen to them after the city was broken, Zhao Qi still stood here without shirk, waiting for the order to attack.
Perhaps Zhao Qi is one of the few insiders who knows the truth, but instead of pinning his hopes on inhuman kindness, Zhao Qi would rather believe in the words of the living, at least except for many seemingly "treasonous" actions. The common people were fighting against the Bingzhou Army.
Life was pretty good under the rule, and it could even be said that it was much easier than when Emperor Huan Ling was on the throne.
"Is that so? Then, everyone, listen up! For General Huangfu, the counterattack begins!"
Hundreds of stone bullets and giant arrows were fired. The targets of these weapons would be the soldiers fighting on the city top, regardless of whether we are the enemy or not. Yes, in this situation where the enemy and the enemy are intertwined, you want to be accurate.
Obviously, hitting the enemy can no longer be called a technical job, and only a miracle can truly accomplish this task.
Even if the attack power of the weapons attached to these stone bullets and arrows will not harm the soldiers who are equipped with tiger talismans and talismans to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, the physical force will not be changed. If you are hit by a stone, you will still bleed.
dead.
In fact, the crossbowmen of the Dopples Corps are doing the same thing. Although the Doppleggers have stronger defenses, they will also be shot through by their own powerful crossbows, and they will also suffer battle losses. It's just that
Comparatively speaking, such losses were already within the calculations of the commanders of the local army, and this was the time when Cibu was in charge.
From this point of view, the result of this attack can be said to be extremely unfavorable to the defenders, because their bodies are more fragile, and at this time, judging from the number of people alone, the living on the city are more vulnerable than the puppets.
Take advantage.
Is counterattack really that simple? The outcome of the carefully prepared offensive was the total destruction of both the enemy and ourselves, and even accelerated our own demise because of the physical superiority of the puppet soldiers?
How is that possible!
The azure light lit up in the next moment. Although the fiery red representing the flame, the sandy yellow representing the storm, and the emerald green representing the earth also lit up at the same time, these lights were obviously not the main theme, but more like the refreshing feeling.
An embellishment of the azure color, the azure color that represents the continuation of life will inevitably appear next to the colors that represent the richness and variety of life.
Although he is very old, Mr. Zhao Qi is like a young man, frantically pouring out strategies to the city to rejuvenate the defenders, strategies that allow them to go into battle regardless of pain and worries.
Working with him, there are also those old civil servants behind him who have gray hair and even pale faces, as well as a group of young and naive young men, and of course there are more young people who are in their prime.
people.
Huangfu Song brought almost all the civil servants he could find in the city here. Whether it was a strategic attack or using strategic support like now, this was really a force that could change the situation on the battlefield.
Even without Huangfusong's control, the actions of these people were somewhat chaotic and lacked sufficient purpose.
But this moment of unity was still enough to completely change the situation on the battlefield.
A change that made the commander outside the city suddenly change his expression.
When a city not only has a tall city wall and various complete defensive facilities, but also has people who regard themselves as a city wall and a moat, with the current strength of the Doppler Corps, can it really capture such a city?
Vaguely, the past that happened in Handan City appeared in his mind.
When hallucinations appeared in front of him, the puppet soldiers who were still firmly occupying the top of the city had been basically driven off the top of the city, and their successors could never return to where their robes had fought.
