Chapter 1,076 The Offensive of the Noncommissioned Officers
Yao Ding saw the enemy's ladders detached from the carts and began to attack the city. Knowing that he could not gather people together like this, he immediately ordered the soldiers to disperse and attack the enemies who were preparing to attack the city.
Without the suppression of the trebuchet, the soldiers on the city wall boldly began to bend their bows and arrows, and began to attack the enemies below the city. The Jianzhong Army and the Xuzhou Army did not have the slightest fear, and started climbing along the ladder truck with their steel knives in their teeth.
Climb the city wall.
For a moment, the cry of killing resounded throughout the sky, but the situation did not reach a fever pitch, because everyone knew that the ladder was just an appetizer, and the real climax would not begin until the building truck climbed onto the wall.
Although the trebuchet was very powerful, and the cauldron for cooking golden juice and the giant crossbow used to defend the city were all wiped out, the rolling logs and stones were still not damaged, and they fell from the sky and smashed Yuan Shujun's head.
Blood flowed and he died tragically on the spot.
The soldiers of the Jiaozhou Army were considered brave. They could not tell that they were a group of new soldiers after fighting so far. Facing the attack of the Jizhou Army, although it was a bit difficult, they still used their own flesh and blood to drive the opponent off the city wall.
Because they have their own families behind them, they have the city of Guangxin City, and they have things they want to protect, so they will not give up easily.
One side is for Jizhou and Yuan Shu's great cause, and the other side is for their own homeland. Neither side has any reason to retreat, so even if blood has flowed into a river, everyone still continues to fight with red eyes.
"Rockets, let go."
Just when the cart was about to reach the city wall, the archers behind were also ready, and then fired the burning bows and arrows directly towards the cart.
"It's rockets, shield bearers for defense, and the archers from the tower to suppress the enemy's archers for me."
When the captain saw the enemy's rockets being launched, he directed the soldiers on the carriage to defend and ordered the archers on the top of the carriage to fire suppressively.
For a while, the two sides were going back and forth, with bows and arrows flying freely, but the archers were only on the trail, and Yuan Shu's carriages were different from ordinary carriages. These carriages were all fireproofed, unless attacked by a large amount of kerosene.
Otherwise some rockets can't hurt them at all.
"Place the tie-board."
After all, it was Zhang He's Jianzhong Army who took the first step and pushed the building cart to the edge of the city wall. The captain directly ordered to put down the planks and jump over the wall to attack.
The iron planks unfolded instantly, hitting the city wall directly and sending rubble flying.
"Fire the arrow."
As soon as the plank was put down, the already prepared team leader gave the order directly, and the already prepared archers shot the bows and arrows in their hands.
"Shield."
Those who could take the first step to attack the wall were the best among the best. No one needed to remind them. The shields had already been prepared, so the enemy's bows and arrows did not cause much damage at all.
"Crush the wall."
After the first wave of bows and arrows, the team on the building car did not hesitate and charged forward with their shields on their backs.
Ten teams jumped out of ten carriages at the same time, and five hundred people climbed onto the Guangxin city wall in an instant, and then simultaneously began to attack the enemy's archers.
"Drive them down for me, spearmen, pick them out."
Now that the attack on Nancheng was a bit urgent, Yao Ding also moved here and directed his soldiers to counterattack the Jianzhong Army soldiers who climbed up the city wall.
For a while, the southern section of the city wall was caught in a fierce battle, with swords flashing and swords flashing, and it was extremely bloody. However, with the follow-up troops of the Jianzhong Army joining in, their bridgehead gradually stabilized.
"Place the tie-board."
Although the Xuzhou Army was a little slow, they followed the Jianzhong Army's chariots and rushed to the city wall. Ten planks were opened, and the Xuzhou Army soldiers boarded the city wall in an instant and began to attack the Jiaozhou Army.
"Captain, the enemies on the northern section of the city wall are also attacking."
Just when Yao Ding was a little confused, the northern section of the city wall began to be in a hurry, so he came to report the news to Yao Ding.
"Fuck, drive the enemies down and suppress them. If you can't beat them with swords and guns, just give me your life. No matter what, you have to withstand them."
When Yao Ding heard the report, he immediately became angry. I haven't solved it here yet. What the hell is wrong with you? Do you think I am a god who can do anything?
Find a way to solve it yourself.
"Yao Ding, you hold on here and leave it to me in Beicheng."
Just when Yao Ding was irritable, Shi Xie was escorting him to his side with personal guards.
"Is this appropriate?"
Hearing that Shi Xie was going to Beicheng to support him, Yao Ding also had a headache. Wouldn't it be nice for you, old man, to stay with him well at the back? But don't come here to cause trouble.
"I know I don't know the battle formation, but as long as I am here, the soldiers will at least not collapse. As long as they can persist, Guangxin City cannot be lost."
Shi Xie knew that going to Beicheng might cause trouble, but he also had his advantage, that is, his personal prestige was there. As long as he was there, no soldiers would go behind his back.
"Okay, I'll bother you with the North City side. I promise you that as long as I, Yao Ding, am still alive, the Nancheng will not fall into the hands of the Jizhou Army."
Since Shi Xie wants to share the burden, his reserve is a bit too artificial, so he can only leave it to Shi Xie to take charge.
"Where are the guards? Come with me to support Beicheng."
Shi Xie did not hesitate and led his personal guards to kill in the direction of Beicheng.
"My lord is here."
"My lord is here to support us."
"Kick them off."
Shi Xie came to support them, and the soldiers in Beicheng's sluggish morale instantly exploded. With red eyes, they all began to fight with the Xuzhou army who was charging up the city wall.
For a time, the bridgehead that the Xuzhou Army had just stabilized was tossed to and fro by the enemy. It was like a small boat swaying in a storm and might be broken by the enemy at any time.
"Fuck, what's wrong with the soldiers on the city wall? Why haven't they opened the gap yet? Are all these people just living for a living?"
Zang Ba watched the Jianzhong Army proceeding smoothly, but his Xuzhou Army was pinned down by the enemy and could not move, so he couldn't help but roar at the captain beside him.
"General, I was also about to open a gap, but I don't know what happened. The enemy suddenly seemed to have taken medicine and attacked one by one desperately. Although our soldiers were also fighting desperately, after all, there were much fewer people than the opponent.
We don’t want to suppress them.”
The captain in charge of the command immediately came to report the situation to Zang Ba. They didn't want to do this, but the enemy was really like a mad dog. They were really desperate.
"Desperately?
Won't you try your best?
All the officers above the rank of corps commander have organized themselves for me. Isn’t that just a desperate effort?
Who wouldn’t?”
Zang Ba also became angry when he heard the other side fighting for their lives. The Xuzhou Army didn't say anything else, but there were many people who were desperate for their lives, so let's see who can fight second.
"promise."
The captain was stunned for a moment when he heard Zang Ba's words, but immediately a cruel smile emerged from the corner of his mouth. Zang Ba was right, isn't it just desperate?
It's like someone is so afraid of death.
Suddenly, the Xuzhou Army was filled with people, and everyone from the corps commander to the captain immediately organized themselves.
It is very difficult to be promoted in the Jizhou Army. Even a corps commander has to climb out of the dead, let alone the higher-up officers. All of these people are used to life and death, and they also look down on life and death.
If they really wanted to fight, they could fight to death even if Lu Bu was right in front of them. One can imagine what consequences such an elite force would have if they attacked the city wall.
"Listen to me, whether the Xuzhou Army is a dragon or a snake depends on this trembling. The enemy wants to fight for his life, so let's see who is more desperate. If that one dares to take a step back, whether it is the captain or the captain
The commander of the camp took the lead and pushed them all to the end."
Zang Ba came to the assembled soldiers and horses and directly lectured them.
"promise,"
These elites from hundreds of battles only answered with one simple word. They knew that the most important thing at the beginning of the battle was to save energy. There was no need for them to waste it. It would be better to put the saved energy into killing people.
"Then go out. I'm watching you from below. If you still can't break the situation, I will personally go into battle with my personal guards and wipe your butts."
Zang Ba didn't say any more nonsense and directly ordered them to attack.
Everyone did not hesitate and began to board the carriages without saying a word, and launched an attack on the city wall.
"General, you should just let our guard camp go directly. These people are all non-commissioned officers. If there is a problem with them, the Xuzhou Army will be paralyzed."
The captain of the guard glanced at Zang Ba. He didn't understand why the always wise general made such a stupid decision this time.
"I know it's probably stupid, but look at what they did.
Is it different from shit?
In the past, I would have been very satisfied, but now the situation is different and the situation is different. If our growth cannot keep up with others, sooner or later we will be reduced to a local corps.
Look at the Jianzhong Army opposite. They are also a newly expanded army. Why can they fight so well?
I don't care about winning or losing the bet, what I care about is the future of Xuzhou Army.
Although the lord is not supervising the battle from behind, but the military advisor is, every move we make here will be known to the lord. If we are defeated by the Jianzhong Army this time, there will be no hope for us to be promoted to the first-line army.
For the sake of their future, it’s time to risk everything and fight to the death.”
Zang Ba glanced at his personal guard commander. He also knew that it would be risky to send these non-commissioned officers to the city now, and the entire Xuzhou Army might be ruined. However, based on the idea of life or death, if these non-commissioned officers went to the city, they would not be able to awaken the fans.
The Xuzhou Army was stunned, so he couldn't control it.
"It's life or death. I believe the Xuzhou Army will definitely be able to break through."
Hearing Zang Ba's explanation, the guard commander also fell silent. The growth of the Xuzhou Army since its formation is obvious to all. It has fought many tough battles with the large army, but it has not grown enough.
Now the Han Dynasty's war is almost over. If it cannot show its fighting power now, the Xuzhou Army may really fall in the end.
"Captain, why are you here?"
"Tun chief."
"Team rate."
These non-commissioned officers boarded the city wall, and the soldiers on the city wall were dumbfounded. What kind of lineup is this? Why are all the non-commissioned officers coming to kill them?
"You guys beat us like shit. If we don't come back, you will lose Xuzhou Army's face."
