Chapter 56 Bloody Battle in Shaxian County
The night breeze was slightly cool. Sun Yu sat at the juncture and stared in the direction of Shaxian County. According to the news from the front, Shaxian County had no less than two thousand soldiers. If the young men in the field were mobilized to help defend the city, they would definitely pay a price for conquering Shaxian.
"Sir, are you worried about tomorrow?" Xu Yi was wandering around after dinner and saw Sun Yu was worried, so he came over to ask.
"Yes, sir. Since ancient times, we have suffered heavy casualties in sieges of the city. It is inevitable that I can't help but feel a little bit unbearable." These are the soldiers he brought out with his own hands. Although the time is not long, people are not grass and trees, and how can they be ruthless?
"Sir, kindness cannot lead an army!" Xu Yi said with cupped hands. Since ancient times, one general has achieved great success, and there can be no war without casualties.
"When Jianzhou is pacified, a medical camp must be set up. All injured soldiers must receive treatment as soon as possible. Casualties on the battlefield are unavoidable, but we must let more people survive." Sun Yu had this plan before,
However, there were so many things to worry about and no time to prepare the corresponding materials and personnel, so it was delayed.
"There have always been doctors accompanying the army since ancient times, but how can there be so many doctors in a single battalion?" This medical skill has been practiced by ancestors for generations, and they all take a close look at it. How can it be spread to others? This also creates true medical skills.
There are very few people in the country, and most of them are in cities. In rural areas, if you contract a serious disease, you often die before you can wait to be sent to a doctor.
"It's enough to have one or two doctors. Find some people who can simply treat wounds and bandage them. I want to recruit a group of women and let them learn a bit. That should be enough." Most people on the battlefield are injured, and they can clean and bandage wounds.
If it is handled in time, the casualty mortality rate can be greatly reduced.
"Since ancient times, women are not allowed to be carried when marching. Do you really want to set this precedent?" Xu Yi did not mean to look down on women, but it was a practice that had been established since ancient times and had its own reasons.
"It doesn't matter, our Jianzhou Army is different from them. We have a strong military discipline, so I want to see who dares to mess around." The biggest hidden danger of bringing women with the army is that the soldiers will not be able to control themselves and cause trouble.
"Haha, the Heavenly Female Cult will finally be submissive after all." In Shaxian County, Zhou Bu was holding the letter from the front, laughing happily. The officers and soldiers of Fusha County have already overwhelmed Youxi, and the Heavenly Female Cult cannot withstand the pressure from both sides.
, promised to re-select the goddess, send her to marry her, and also prepare a dowry. This was an unexpected surprise.
"The gang leader is wise. Sooner or later that day, the female teacher will be under the gang leader's command." The person who sent the message immediately flattered him.
"Haha, we are just like brothers. Now we still have to defeat the army together. Send an order to the second brother and let him lead troops into Youxi and help defend the city. This is a reward for you." Zhou Buzheng was not carried away.
He took out a piece of silver and threw it to the messenger. If the Heavenly Girl Sect was destroyed by the army, he would be alone.
"Don't worry, Gang Leader, I'll go right away." The messenger bent down to pick up the silver ingots on the ground and ran out quickly. This trip was really worth it.
"Here, give me a good massage, master." Zhou Bu was adjusting his posture, and the maid hurriedly started massaging him. The gang leader was happy today. If he served well, he might also be able to receive the reward.
"Gang leader, something bad has happened!" Zhou Buzheng fell into a comfortable sleep, dreaming that he had annexed the Tiannv Cult and swept the officers and soldiers. However, he was suddenly shouted at, so he stood up and drew his sword in fright, and the maid quickly knelt on the ground. Zhou Buzheng was moody this time and was killed.
There were also many maids, so they could only lower their bodies as low as possible, hoping that he would not notice her.
"Gang leader, something bad has happened. The officers and soldiers are here." The guard at the city gate received the tip and returned the message.
I thought I heard wrongly. Didn't these officers and soldiers go to Youxi? Why did they come to Shaxian County?
"Where are the officers and soldiers? Go quickly to support, be sure to block the officers and soldiers and prevent them from entering Sha County." Zhou Buzheng thought that the officers and soldiers were still outside Tiantai Pass, and was thinking about sending troops to Tiantai Pass for reinforcements.
"Gang leader, the officers and soldiers are about ten miles away from the city gate, and they arrived at the city in half an hour." The guard also confirmed again and again to make sure it was correct before reporting.
"Didn't you see the beacon fire? Are you lazy?" Zhou Buzheng still couldn't believe that in order to guard against the officers and soldiers, he had set up two checkpoints along the way, but the officers and soldiers went straight to the city without any warning.
"I really didn't pay attention to the beacon fire. I don't dare to be lazy in my humble position." The guard hurriedly explained. The beacon fire was burning and could be seen from a long distance. How could he not see it?
"It's all rubbish. Wear armor! I'm going to the city." Zhou Buzheng kicked the maid, and the maid hurriedly got up to get it. After groping for a long time, she finally put on the armor.
Zhou Buzheng led a group of soldiers and hurriedly rushed to the city. He was a little dizzy at first sight. The line of officers and soldiers stretched for two miles. This was a large force. First, he raised a big flag and wrote "Sun
"" is the team of Sun Yu, the new governor of Jianzhou.
"Quickly, go and move the rocks and kerosene, and I will bring them all up. You go to the city to recruit young men, and I will help defend the city." Zhou Buzheng knew that this was a critical moment for his life and death. If he couldn't bear it, he would tell me to help him defend the city.
This is it.
The city wall of Shaxian County is not high, only half a foot. But the people who built the city put a lot of thought into it. There are towers of arrows at the four corners, which are condescending and their lethality is doubled.
"Camp on the spot" avoided even probing attacks, and the army set up camp directly to recharge their batteries. Sun Yu led two teams of cavalry to patrol around the city wall of Shaxian County. This Fujianxi gang is not a person with a deserved reputation, although
He had unexpectedly arrived at the city, and there was no loophole in the defense on the entire city wall.
"Sir, in my humble opinion, we should attack the city from the east gate." Xu Yi, who accompanied Sun Yu on inspection, suggested when he returned to camp.
"Why?" Sun Yu didn't notice anything unusual about the east gate. He came from the south and was facing the north gate of Sha County. Why did he take a detour to the east gate.
"Sir, my subordinates have observed that the east gate seems to be intact, but in fact it is in disrepair. Sir, please see: both the north gate and the west gate have traces of repair and reinforcement. Although they look messy, they are actually extremely strong. The south gate faces Shaxi River, making it difficult for the army to
We have only set up camp at the east gate, which is well preserved and not fortified. Therefore, if you want to break through, the east gate is the easiest." Xu Yi was as careful as his hair and saw the difference.
"What sir said makes sense. Prepare to crash and attack the east gate first tomorrow." If the army attacks the city, it would be best if they can directly break open the city gate.
The first ray of sunshine shone into Shaxian County the next day, and the entire camp began to get busy. Two huge crash cars were pulled out. The crash cars were made of a whole giant tree, with the front end covered with solid iron and supported by eight pairs of wooden wheels. There were wooden planks spread out on both sides.
, there is a wooden structure underneath to protect the soldiers who provide kinetic energy. This crash car is extremely heavy and cannot be carried with the army. The transport camp only carries some parts and components, and the main materials are locally sourced and temporarily assembled.
The strong crossbow battalion and the archery battalion were already in place to provide cover for the collision, otherwise the attack from the city head would quickly destroy the collision.
"I am the governor and defense envoy of Jianzhou. You and others are causing trouble in the city by causing chaos. I am here to pacify the place under the order of the king. If you know this and surrender immediately, I will give you a lighter sentence. If you are stubborn,
If you are uneasy, I will decide
No mercy." Sun Yu drove his horse forward and shouted towards the city gate. Although it was impossible for the other party to really open the door and surrender, his remarks would definitely make him worry. After all, he was an official and they were bandits. Naturally,
Psychological advantages.
"Go to hell with your mother's governor, I even killed one with my own hands. If you are wise, step away quickly, or be careful with your head." Zhou Buzheng was not frightened, and immediately replied without hesitation.
"Hey!" Sun Yu drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow towards Zhou Buzheng. Zhou Buzheng quickly lowered his head, and the arrow feathers passed over his scalp and pierced into the city wall behind him.
"Attack the city!" Sun Yu returned on horseback and went on stage to beat the drums in person.
The drums of "Dong~dong~dong~" sounded, and the army launched an attack at the head of Shaxian City. As for the car crash, they hid behind the army. If the opponent discovered the car crash, they would definitely reinforce the city gate in the rear, and Sun Yu would have to use the army to expend it.
Use up all their stones and then hit them with a crash car.
Arrows were flying wildly on both sides, and the battle was much more intense than yesterday's battle. Groups of soldiers rushed forward carrying ladders. When they reached the bottom of the city, the ladders were set up and they turned over and climbed up.
Boulders, rolling logs, kerosene, all kinds of things were used by the defenders of the Minxi Gang to greet the city.
Several soldiers were timid and frightened by the tactics used to defend the city. They ran back in panic and were killed mercilessly by Zhang Daqiu and his law enforcement team.
Sun Yu witnessed all this and showed no mercy. He beat the drum even harder, and under his command, groups of soldiers continued to attack the city head.
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!" He launched five waves of attacks in the morning, killing and injuring no less than 500 of his own men. No progress was made, and the siege was so cruel.
At lunch time, the whole camp changed from its usual relaxed state, and everyone was silent. In the past, the strong fought against the weak, and there were many battles against the wind. It was not until today that I truly saw the cruelty of war.
"The officers and soldiers are nothing more than that. You keep an eye on this place. I will go back to my house to have a meal and take a rest." Zhou Buzheng was also tired. He has been used to living a comfortable life in the past two years, and his body is not as good as before. Besides, there is nothing special about these officers and soldiers. In the morning
He had only killed a hundred brothers, but the losses to the officers and soldiers would be huge. If this continued, the officers and soldiers would retreat on their own within two days at most. He said hello to the guard at the top of the city, and led his guards down the city wall.
"Dong~dong~dong~" After noon, the Jianzhou Army continued to attack the city head. The city gate guard was responsible for this important task. For fear of something going wrong, huge rocks, rollers and logs were thrown down one after another. The casualties of the Jianzhou Army increased rapidly.
.
"Keep beating me!" Seeing the officers and soldiers being beaten to pieces, the guard looked excited, but the officers and soldiers were nothing more than that.
"General, the boulders and rolling logs are almost gone." The soldier took a look and replied.
"Then go and move it, go quickly!" The guard was stunned when he heard the words, and his heart felt cold. He was so happy just now, but now he has to fight hand to hand.
"Sir, it's almost done." Xu Yi saw that the falling rocks at the top of the city were obviously much sparse, and it was time to move out and crash.
"Arrow camp, crossbow camp, free fire, don't stop. Crash and attack." Sun Yu nodded, he also noticed.
"Quick, quick, get down and hold the door." The guard saw two huge collision cars, their fronts emitting a dark light under the sun, and they were speeding towards the city gate. He felt bad, they were definitely going to hit the door.
Already.
"Boom~" A loud noise, with a dull vibration, was transmitted to the bottom of everyone's heart.
"Boom~" The collision car quickly backed away, and then continued to hit the city gate.
"Dong~"
Chapter completed!
