The Xianbei soldiers, who had been tortured for a whole night, hurriedly prepared for war under the orders of the army leader the next day. Immediately there were accompanying herdsmen who brought food, drinking water, and most of the food for these tribal warriors. They are all meat. After being dried, they can be stored for a long time, but the taste will become a little dry. They do not carry drinking water with them at all times, because every time they are stationed, they will choose an area close to the river.
After all, they need rivers to drink water for their horses. People can also get water from wells, but horses obviously cannot. In the early morning, a groom led his horses to a nearby river to drink water, and the soldiers drank directly from the surrounding wells. The Xianbei soldiers were very He took a sip and spurted it out. He frowned, kicked the attendant hard, and cursed angrily: "What is this, horse urine? Give me something to drink?!"
The attendant looked at him innocently and said, "This is the water drawn from the well. The water here is smelly. How can you rely on me?" The soldier continued to curse. This situation continued to appear in many places. After being tortured all night, the somewhat irritable Xianbei army started making noise again. When Tan Shihuai learned about this, he naturally thought that the other party had polluted the surrounding well water, but he didn't care. He ordered the leaders of each department to organize an siege!
The leaders of each department took ladles and drank the well water in large gulps. They cursed with some disdain: "In the past, when we followed the king in the north and south, we all drank horse urine. It doesn't matter, we drank it all!" Today, we capture Guzang County and allow you to harvest in the city for three days!” Upon hearing this, the Xianbei soldiers drank the water one after another, and the Xianbei army organized an orderly attack on Guzang County from four directions.
The Xianbei people were full of confidence. In their view, Guzang County was already in their hands. In their hands, they could not hold on for more than a few days. Sifu hurriedly used ladders and chariots to attack the city. After the equipment was ready, the siege formation was set up outside Guzang County. Bao Hong saw the opponent's layout early. He immediately ordered the Northern Army to be divided into four groups to guard the four walls. The remaining soldiers were centered on the Northern Army soldiers. So as to defend the city!
Cheli was a little displeased and said, "How can you favor one over the other?" Bao Hong frowned and said, "The Xianbei people are very popular and have many elites. I think that with you leading the Qiang reinforcements, there will be no one in the four directions." Support yourself and defend together!" After hearing Bao Hong's order, Cheri nodded and expressed his obedience. Bao Hong personally led many soldiers from the North to guard the east gate, which was the area facing the Xianbei King's tent. Door!
Because there were the most siege equipment and the largest number of soldiers placed here, the Xianbei people were ready to attack the city. Si Fou gave an order. Suddenly, war drums sounded in all directions, and the Xianbei army roared fiercely and moved towards Gu. Zang County then rushed over. The Xianbei army of 70,000 to 80,000 people rushed at the same time. The momentum was extremely shocking. The soldiers defending the city on all sides were a little frightened. Bao Hong stepped forward and shot out with one arrow, killing a bearer. Xianbei soldiers charging with ladders!
Suddenly, the Han army's crossbows fell like raindrops. The Xianbei people howled miserably and fell to the ground one after another. Seeing the rain of arrows all over the sky, the Xianbei people immediately killed and injured nearly a thousand people. At this moment, the morale of the Han army suddenly rose. Tan Shihuai was very strict in managing the army. During the charge, if anyone dared to take a step back, he would be killed immediately.
Therefore, the entire Xianbei army braved the rain of arrows and charged with gritted teeth!
Bao Hong kept pulling the bow with both hands, firing, pulling the bow, firing, pulling the bow, firing. This strong bow was very taxing on the body and arm strength. A strong man could only shoot it once or twice, but Bao Hong was enough He shot dozens of times until his hands were red, swollen, numb, and the bows and arrows around him were exhausted. At this time, he could no longer lift his hands. The Xianbei people trampled on the remains of thousands of corpses. Up, we are finally close to the city wall!
However, they really didn't expect that as soon as they approached the city wall, several soldiers suddenly fell to the ground. However, there were some iron fragments scattered on the ground, and there were also many deep pits. Most of these Xianbei people were barefoot. If they stepped on the iron When they fell to the ground, they naturally fell to the ground in pain. As soon as they fell to the ground, their charging colleagues who could not retreat could only step on them and crush them to death. And those deep pits were even more terrifying. If one foot sinks in, it will break!!
Seeing that the number of Xianbei warriors continued to decrease, Si Fu felt a little distressed. He turned around and looked at Tan Shihuai, but he had a calm expression on his face. He squinted his eyes and said, "With about 20,000 soldiers, we can take the victory." From now on, this city will be bounded by Guzang, and the Western Region will fall into our hands. We will control Guzang, and the Han people will not be able to graze northward, hahaha~~~" He laughed, not caring about the Xianbei soldiers at all. life and death.
Si Fu felt a little cold-hearted, but had no words.
The Xianbei people killed and injured thousands of people under various endless traps before they arrived at the foot of Guzang County. They put up the ladders one after another, gritted their teeth, and quickly climbed up the rock! Finally, they were put up. The ladder was naturally at the north gate. Bao Hong gritted his teeth and looked at the Xianbei soldiers angrily. Then he looked at his red and swollen arms. He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed a big stone. He used all his strength to lift the stone. He lifted it up and suddenly threw it towards the ladder!!
The soldiers who were climbing the ladder were suddenly hit by the stone and their brains were shattered. They screamed and fell down. Even the ladder was smashed. The soldiers took turns shooting arrows while the others raised the stones. , the wood was thrown down towards the ladder below. The Xianbei people kept squeezing forward. The battle was very fierce. Tan Shihuai slowly looked at the distance for a moment and ordered: "Archers come forward!!"
Immediately, many Xianbei archers trotted forward one after another. When they reached the city, they drew their bows and fired towards the city. There were tens of thousands of Xianbei archers. This was the rain of arrows that filled the sky. Black arrows flew towards Guzang County like locusts. , Fortunately, Zhang Xu had already planned. He demolished the surrounding houses, and even some houses in Guzang County, and fixed the wood on the inside of the city wall, so that the soldiers could hide here to avoid the rain of arrows!
The same is true for the common people.
When Bao Hong saw the archers coming, he immediately ordered the soldiers to take cover. When the arrows fell, many of the soldiers were shot to death without being able to hide. They fell from the top of the city and no bones were left. This wave The rain of arrows directly inflicted heavy damage on the Han army, and what was terrible was that the Xianbei people started shooting a second time, a third time, and even countless times. The Han army had to hide to avoid the rain of arrows, but if If you hide, the siege soldiers will easily invade the city!
