Siege
Chapter 71:Siege
Xinyang City has a total of six doors, two north doors, the city gate is a hilly area, is the top priority of defense, so the north gate has the golden sound of the father and son led 5,000 people to guard.One of the west gate, outside the door is the water river, straight to the Huai River.
Xinyang Pier is in the West Gate, this place is easy to guard and difficult to attack, coupled with the lack of a rogue army, the West Gate will lead a thousand people to guard.One of the east gate, the door is a plain, originally the grain field, because the small ice period came to the house are dead, the villagers either fled or became a guye.
This place is the second difficult place to guard, handed over to Zhu Hongsan and Ma Rufeng to lead two thousand people and nine hundred regiments to practice.In the southwestern wall of the inlet and the south wall each have a gate, which is a daily gate, which is of no use, the first few months of the golden sound of the Huan ordered to be filled with boulders, this place left two thousand households, each of the five hundred people on it.If each door is contacted by a dangerous letter cannon, it can be quickly mobilized through the horseway within the city wall.
The golden voice arranged for the people to go down and prepare.Zhu Hong and the two returned to their own barracks.Find the trolls and Zhao Guodong.Schedule Zhao Guodong to prepare for the defense of the upper wall, and prepare a thousand durians* and five hundred cross-knifes to send to Jinsheng Huan.
He said, “Isn’t the Lord’s constant evil with Jin’s voice?”
Zhu Hongsan said: "Now together, do not help him can not, the city broke we can not run."Let's talk about it later."
Nod to go out and arrange not to mention.
Zhu Hongsan put on the serial armor created by the iron bull, and put on a heavy armor of a knife and shield outside.It was seen that the troops had been assembled.Zhu Hongyi wore three layers of heavy armor and stood at the door with a large wolf tooth stick in his hand.
At this time, Qian Lide came over to Zhu Hongsan and whispered: "Brother, can I watch my family at home?"
Zhu Hong’s three eyes stood up and said, “Money fat man, what do you want to do?”Don't force me to kill you with military law."
Qian Lide saw Zhu Hong's three moves, and hurriedly stood behind Zhu Hongyi.
Zhu Hongsan glanced at him and said, “Brothers, now the runners are outside the city.”They come in and none of us live.Everyone can only work hard.I promised everyone here that they would each survive fifty-two silver coins.Every man who dies has given him one hundred pieces of silver to his family.”
Zhu Hongsan knew that most of these nine hundred people were adapted from the guo, and he only brought 300 from the lake, most of them stayed in Dongjiawubao.This new army has just run into less than half a month, at this time said nothing, that is, to give money the most tangible.
Zhu Hongsan said after letting Pingjia pull out the silver box and said: "Now each person starts twenty-two, and then thirty-two after the end."There is meritoriousness in addition.”
The people below rejoiced.They shouted for the commander.
After the silver was sent, Zhu Hongsan brought people to the east gate.Ma Rufeng had already Helmen and throttled his armor waiting for him.Zhu Hongsan came to the wall and looked down, and the raucous men and horses outside had reached five miles outside the city.Zhu Hongsan saw that the opposite black pressure was all people, and asked Ma Rufeng: "How many people are across the street?"How many are there in the North?”
Ma Rufeng smiled bitterly: "The Xinyang wall is also five or six miles long, and it is also attacked separately."The brother-in-law saw that it was lined down from the north gate, and it seemed that in addition to the west gate of the water, the south gate was also surrounded.This time, the letter is afraid that it will be finished.”
Zhu Hongsan took a breath of cold air.He thought that his east gate was the main direction of attack, and he did not expect the runners to attack five doors together.Look outside, if there are people outside the five gates, there are about two or three hundred thousand, did Luo Yu bring all the horses?
I really let Zhu Hongsan guess correctly.Luo Yucai and Zhang Yizhong have become separated.The soldiers wanted to go north to throw Li Zicheng, who was attacking and opening the seal.Afraid of being copied from the south directly north by Zhang Xianzhong.This pretends to be south of Xinyang and make the appearance of attacking Hefei.In fact, it is ready to open directly north after taking the letter.
Therefore, Luo Yu brought not 200,000 or 300,000, but all 500,000 people.Of course, the flow of people look at a lot of people, the real elite only Luo Yu's old camp of 50,000 horses, the rest are old and weak.But this is also very scary, you know, there are 50,000 people in Xinyang City, and only 10,000 people are in the city.
Zhu Hongsan looked out in the tandge, scaring his legs straight.After all, this is the first time that Zhu Hongsan has participated in such a large-scale conference war.In the past, the battle of thousands of people and this ratio was the play of children.
Now that the sky was dark outside, it seemed that the runners were not going to attack the city at night.Ma Rufeng said on the edge: "Most of the runners have night blindness, and they do not attack the city at night."It looks like a bloody battle tomorrow morning."
It was dark, and the walls were lit with torches, like the day.The walls were full of officers and soldiers who were patrolling the night, and the others were sleeping on the side of the wall and on their clothes.
At this time, Zhu Hongsan could sleep and look at the camp opposite the trumpet.The campfire, like the stars in the sky, extends far.In the distance, there was a place connected to the sky, and it was not clear whether it was a camp fire or a starlight.
Zhu Hongsan asked Zhu Hongyi on the side: "Brother, are you afraid?"
Zhu Hongyi said, "I'm afraid, but I already have a son."Zhu Hongyi turned to look at Zhu Hongsan and said, “Little three, rest assured, I will protect you.”If we both die, my second name is Zhu, and let him pass on the incense fire to you."
Zhu Hongsan touched Zhu Hongyi's shoulder.
This side of the raising armor said: "I think this 80% will be enough, too many choirs, enough more than 300,000, Xinyang will break."The Lord must find a way early."
Zhu Hongsan nodded, thinking that he could not open a city gate to attract the attention of the streamer.Escape yourself from the other door.Thinking of this pair of raising armor, he said: "Sir led a hundred people down to guard the camp."At the same time, pay attention to the terrain around the horse.When I tell you, we can only run away with the horse family."
He said, “Does the whole family take it?”
Zhu Hongsan shook his head and said, "Take the Ma Jiyuan father and son three and two boys, the woman brings the horse as the wind of the old lady, the other is not."If they don't go, they'll bind me."Nod your head and take someone down to arrange.
Zhu Hongsan said to Ma Rufeng: "You send a confidant home to tell your mother and wife to be ready."We can't really kill it.Remember not to tell anyone else, your father can't."
Ma Rufeng said, “Then my wife will not take it?”
Zhu Hongsan said: "Women are not yet, you say that the mother is important or the wife is important?"
Ma Rufeng said, "The old lady is important."
Zhu Hongsan smiled, "That's right, the big husband is not many women, and the brother-in-law will find you a good one."
In the middle of the night, Zhu Hongsan was trapped, and saw that the outflow of the city had no intention of attacking the city, let the horse pay attention to it, and he lay down to sleep in the leeward under the counterway.
Zhu Hongsan slept soundly, feeling that someone was pushing himself.Look at the horse as the wind.The guy glared at a pair of red eyes and said, "Brother-in-law, help me to look at something, I'll squint for a while."
Zhu Hong nodded three times, got up to see that the sky was about to dawn, and the east was already white.You should sleep for three hours.
When the sun came out, I could see people.The camp on the other side raised the smoke.They cook, not knowing if it’s human flesh.
Zhu Hongsan's breakfast was also delivered, which was a big meat bun.The group trained three soldiers each, plus a piece of bacon.The two thousand guards looked at the straight spit.But we all know that Zhu Hongsan did not blink, but no one came to steal it.
Zhu Hongsan saw each of them a cake, a bowl of white water to cook cabbage, it is too many times.Zhu Hongsan waved his hand to ask the horse as the wind: “They ate this?”
Ma Rufeng said, "This is still good, it is usually rare, and today I have to work hard."
Zhu Hongsan called Qian Lide and said, "Go and tell the kitchen, and make a meal for three thousand people, and immediately get two thousand meat buns."Money is ready to go down and not mention it.
After a while, the meal was ready to come up, Zhu Hongsan said, "Brothers, since we are all comrades-in-arms now, don't divide each other, what we eat you eat."He put his buns and bacon into the hands of a left-wing soldier.
The left-wingers thanked Zhu Hongsan loudly.
Ma Rufeng whispered, "Brother-in-law, you can't hold on for a few days, there are three thousand people on the east door."
Zhu Hongsan sighed and said, “You still feel that you can hold out for a few days?”It's good to stick to it today."
The two were talking, and the trumpet sounded at the camp opposite, and the sound was simple and long.Judith knows it’s finally about to begin.
The gate of the camp was opened, and a group of ragged wanderers poured out like a tide.A ladder is given to every 100 people.The crowd lined up at the station door.The gate introduced ten esopards, there are four wheels below, the top of the mangniskin to resist the arrows in the city, people in the car cart forward, to the wall to put down the jump bridge, you can release the soldiers inside.
These cars should have been made last night, and some of the bark on the trunks were still there.Zhu Hongsan was glad that there were no craftsmen among the displaced, and if the stone machine was made out, it was not necessary to keep it (Zhu Hongsan a little thought of the displaced people too much).This kind of high-tech thing is that these mud legs can play).
Zhu Hongsan looked at his own side, there are no firearms at all, only more than 20 large earthquake mines.Plus a lot of rolling wood.If only there were a few cannons in red.But now the whole country's red cannons are in Beijing and Liaodong, it is too long to be able to do so.
The displacement team moved slowly forward.Judith has a big feeling.It is too real, it is best to have another long aerial shot of the plane is perfect.
Zhu Hongsan did not mention this dream, when the sun rose up, it was around eight o'clock, and the displaced group finally pushed forward to stop one way away from the wall.
Ma Rufeng has a lot of experience in combat, knowing that the next step is to attack the city, shouting: "The archer is ready."
The four hundred archers on the wall took out their bows and arrows, pulled the bowstrings, and waited for the orders of the officers.
After the stream entered a room, the back camp sounded a loud drum, trot. Gollum.Zhu Hongsan was also rendered by the atmosphere, the palms of his hands were a little sweaty, touched a hand on the clothes, dried the sweat, and clasped the cross knife in his hand.He said, “Brother, it’s going to start.”
Without waiting for Zhu Hongyi to speak, the opposite runners shouted from the sky, and the rabbis ran to the wall.The defense of Xinyang has officially begun.
