Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 15 The Fierce Attack and Defense
Chapter 15: Tragic offense and defense

Su Hongdao: "Your Majesty, the enemy is outnumbered and the Han army is in full swing. I am afraid it will be difficult to find a way to defeat the Han army in a short period of time. We can only hold on to the city for a while, and wait for the Han army to leave the old city before thinking of other strategies. .”

"That's the only way to go." Deng Sheng nodded silently, and now it can only be like this, the Han army is numerous and powerful, and there are top commanders like Fan Yi, so they can only wait for the opportunity.

After arranging all the matters of defending the city, Deng Sheng let everyone go down to rest.

"Siege!"

In the early morning of the next day, under Fan Yi's loud shouts, the battle drums were beating and killings, and the drums were beating loudly. Thousands of soldiers walked neatly, their armor was bright, and they rushed to the city with a huge shield in their hands. Then they quickly squatted down and held up the big shield. Thousands of crossbow archers rushed up and hid behind the shield hands, raised their crossbows and shot for a while, and a large rain of arrows flew towards the wall.The two arms cooperate very tacitly.

At this time, Wang Yanzhang and Zhang Fei were guarding the city gate, and Yue Fei was in the middle.

"The whole army is on alert, the logs and boulders are ready, the golden soup and boiling oil are boiled, and the archers are ready. When the Han army enters the range, shoot immediately."

Under Yue Fei's dispatch, everything on the top of the city was proceeding in an orderly manner.

After a round of shooting, the Han army finally broke through the range of Deng Jun's bow and arrow, and came under the city wall. The Han army set up ladders one after another.

The defenders hurriedly used long hooks to deal with it, but the Han army rushed up one after another. Finally, when the first Han soldier climbed to the top of the city, a fight began on the top of the city.

Zhang Fei and Wang Yanzhang took the lead in beheading the Han army who had reached the top of the wall. After nearly a day of fighting, no less than a hundred Han soldiers died in their hands.

The sun gradually set on the mountain, Fan Yi saw that Deng's army was very tenacious, and there were strong generals in the formation, and it was getting late, so he ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

When the last wave of Han troops retreated from the city, Zhang Fei and Wang Yanzhang fell to the ground exhausted, next to each other.

"Brother, how many did you kill?" Zhang Fei wiped the blood from his face and asked Wang Yanzhang with a smile.

"82, what about you?" Wang Yanzhang said.

"Hey, I have one more than you, I'm 83."

While the two were talking, Li Tianhu came up with people.

When they saw Li Tianhu, they got up quickly and said, "I've seen General Li!"

Li Tianhu nodded and said: "The two generals have worked hard today. Your Majesty ordered me to take over the two generals to guard the city. The two generals should hurry up and take a rest."

"Here!"

County Office
Deng Sheng and a group of civil and military personnel gathered together.

"Have you got the casualty statistics for today?" Deng Sheng asked in a deep voice.

Yue Fei said: "Our army killed more than 3000 people, injured more than [-] people, and more than [-] people were seriously injured and could not go to the battlefield. The enemy's casualties are estimated to be about [-] people, and today the Han army is only a tentative attack. It is to test the strength of our army, and today's battle loss ratio is probably far beyond Fan Yi's expectations."

Everyone nodded. They had to test the attack in one day, and the Han army fell 3000 people. Such a loss, even a big country like Han, would probably not be able to accept it. After knowing the strength of Deng Jun, Fan Yi would not dare to casually stormed.

If it was as everyone expected, in the next few days, Fan Yi did not launch an attack, but had people surround Xi County.

In this way, the Han army besieged Xi County for half a month. Fortunately, as early as Deng Wangan's 16-year battle, Deng Sheng intentionally went to Xi County to hoard food, grass and military equipment. Now the out-of-touch grain and grass in Xi County are enough for Deng Jun to support More than half a year.

"Masters, the Han army has been besieging the city for half a month now. Moreover, a messenger came from Wancheng yesterday. Chu State has sent people to Zhao State. Zhao State has sent troops, but they were blocked by the Han army general Cao Tian. But back, the Wei State was also blocked by the Han army outside the Hulao Pass, unable to advance an inch, and the Qiang people in the Qin State were in chaos and had no time to look east. We can only rely on ourselves for this battle. I wonder if you have a good plan?" County In the yamen, Deng Sheng will gather everyone to discuss next time, hoping to discuss ways to defeat the enemy.

Su Hongdao: "Your Majesty, in fact, I have discussed with Cheng Cancheng, Cui Cancheng, and Yao Cancheng in the past few days to come up with a solution, and after repeated calculations, I think it is feasible."

"Oh, come quickly." Deng Sheng was overjoyed when he heard the words. To be honest, he has been surrounded by the Han army for more than half a month, and he has suppressed a lot of sulking in his heart.

Su Hong and Cui Hao walked to the map and said, "Your Majesty, please look, this is Wuguan." Su Hong pointed to a point in the west of Xi County, which is Wuguan, the southeast gateway of Guanzhong.

"After days of reports from scouts, we can basically confirm that the food and grass of the Han army are sent from Wuguan to the camp of Xixian County, and once every ten days, this must be the means of Han to check and balance Fan Yi. Fan Yi holds 20 Wan Dajun, the royal family of the Han Dynasty has always been suspicious, relying on the generals in command, but also wary of them, but this will give our army a chance, as long as our army can secretly bypass Xi County and go to ambush outside Wuguan , ambush the Han army food team, and then pretend to be the Han army to raid Wuguan. As long as Wuguan is occupied, Fan Yi's 20 troops will face the danger of food shortage. Xixian County, as long as Fan Yi is not alarmed, then he will never think that our army would dare to send troops to attack Wuguan under such a disadvantage.

"Although this strategy is good, the main force of our army is now in Xi County. With the Han army besieging the city, our army cannot mobilize troops and horses to Wuguan. If you don't have enough, you can't hide your tracks, and if you don't have it, you won't be able to take Wuguan, and even if you take Wuguan, it will be difficult to deal with the counterattack of the Han army from Guanzhong and Fan Yi." At this time, Huang Biao raised an objection, this strategy is too much Take a risk, and if you are not careful, you will lose everything.

Cui Hao smiled and said: "What General Huang said is not unreasonable. Under the situation of the Han army besieging the city, it is impossible for our army to mobilize troops and horses to go to Wuguan, but my Deng is not the only one who has troops in Xi County ?”

"What does Cui Qing mean? Please explain in detail."

"My lord, isn't there still [-] Habayashi troops stationed in Wancheng? The Habayashi troops are the elite of our army. There is nothing wrong with raiding and stationing at Wuguan." Cui Hao replied with a smile.

Knowing that Cui Hao and the others had actually targeted Habayashi Jun, everyone felt inconceivable.

"No, the Yulin Army is the last soldier guarding Wancheng. If the Yulin Army is transferred away, what will happen to Wancheng? Wancheng is the capital of the king, and there must be no mistakes." Huang Biaohe Li Tianhu objected in unison.

"General Huang, General Li, of course we know the importance of Wancheng, but this is the best way to defeat the Han army. Besides, even if the Habayashi army is transferred, our army can also mobilize soldiers from Ye County or Xinye Back to defend Wancheng, now that South Korea is weak and Jing is timid, it is also possible to mobilize part of the troops from the two places to return to defense." Yao Guangxiao explained.
