Han Shizu

Chapter 623
In Shenshi, a moment has passed, the sun is setting, still shining on the mountains, forests and land, but the most intense period of time has already passed.In front of Huangniu Village, the sound of fighting, although not intense, lasted for more than half an hour.

The Shuzhai stands along a dangerous and narrow road, and the space in front of the Zhai is not wide enough for soldiers of the first battalion to spread out, but it is enough for the Han army who is probing to attack.

Wang Renshan watched the battle from the top of the peak, and Li Yan was in front of the battle.Under the wall of the village, a group of sergeants, carrying large shields on their shoulders and swords in their hands, rushed forward to take over the repelled two hundred attacking soldiers against the attack of the defending Shu army.

Soon, as the Han soldiers approached, a small but tragic offensive and defensive battle started again.For the Han army, in the mountains, large siege weapons such as ladders and well rails were too heavy and inconvenient for transportation and deployment, so they were directly discarded.

Fortunately, the Han army had a lot of bows and crossbows, and they did not hesitate to consume arrows. Under this cover, they could minimize the blows from the walled city during the process of forcing the stronghold.However, after all, it is an attack, and the life that should be lost and the price that should be paid are absolutely indispensable.

In front of the stronghold, there are five other bed crossbows, two bows combined, twenty soldiers are trained to operate one crossbow, the shaft is stretched, and the arrows are like javelins. On Huangniu Village, this is the greatest deterrent to the Shu army.Although it is difficult to cause a large number of direct casualties, the damage to the defense of the village and the blow to morale are even worse.

A long arrow, as if carrying a mighty force, pierced directly into the Walled City, piercing through two Shu soldiers, the iron feathers of the arrow twisted their bodies to pieces, it was shocking, and everyone around them was shocked.

On the wall of the stronghold, there is not much space, and even fewer soldiers can be deployed.The sergeant was frightened, and in the middle of the chaos, there were already desperate Han soldiers, and they were about to climb up.

Han Jixun was considered a responsible general, and he also had the courage to personally command the defense on the wall of the stronghold.Shouting loudly, he arranged to drive and kill them, and from the bottom of the city, more than [-] Han army archers took turns to attack continuously.

"My lord, the arrows of the Han army are too dense, especially those bed crossbows. If they are not destroyed, it will hurt morale too much!" The military academy guarding the village said to Han Jixun holding a shield in front of him.

Han Jixun looked serious and angry, and shouted loudly: "The enemy has bows and crossbows, don't we? Let the bowmen shoot at them, don't save arrows, we are condescending, how can we be suppressed by them? As for the bed There are not many crossbows, and the damage is limited, so there is no need to worry.

Order the generals and soldiers in the stronghold to watch and kill the clinging Han soldiers. They will come to die and fulfill them. Anyone who dares to fight will be killed.The soldiers behind the village, two hundred and one teams, are ready to take defense and go into battle at any time! "

Under Han Jixun's arrangement, the Shu army responded in an orderly manner to the attack of the Han army.Although it was a tentative attack, but when it was really time to fight, there was no energy left.

A wave of attack, even with a strong shield and a big shield, still paid nearly [-] casualties, and only a few soldiers climbed up to the head of the village along the bamboo ladder.However, when we reached the wall of the stronghold, Fang was at the most difficult moment, receiving less support from the city, but facing more attacks.
In front of the village, Li Yan, who was in charge of the command, had a cold expression on his face. He was aiming at Zhang Gong, and the string moved and the arrow was fired. The sharp arrow pierced through the air, and finally pierced into the body of a Shu soldier.He has considerable physical strength and can draw a strong bow.However, personal strength is also difficult to break through the battle situation.

Surroundings, the bows and crossbows of the Han army were intensively shooting, and they stopped, also taking into account the comrades in the village, and the second is that the energy consumption is huge, so only those who are good at shooting with spare energy can only attack at fixed points.The crossbow on the bed is still moving, urging and shooting Shuzhai one by one.

Looking at the wall of the stronghold, the soldiers who ascended the stronghold were being devoured by the Shu army, Li Yan began to get angry.Pulling out the saber at his waist, he said coldly: "Take the last batch of brothers up! Follow me to the stronghold to support!"

So far, the thousand soldiers who had prepared to attack the stronghold had been rounded up.Li Yan carried the shield and held the saber, charged forward, went directly to the bottom of the stronghold to command, and followed the way to the stronghold paved by Pao Ze with his life, to attack.

On the periphery, seeing Li Yan's risky move, Wang Renshan didn't even frown. At such a time, it is necessary for the general to lead the charge and take the risk together.

The last wave of attack was particularly violent, bloody and bloody in front of Huangniu Village. The Han army was not afraid of death.On the wall of the stronghold, the Shu army directly changed two waves of people before they withstood it.

Hearing that the killing sound seemed to be fading, Wang Renshan tilted his head and looked at the sunset, half of which was covered by the mountains. The afterglow was already gorgeous, but the sunset glow covering the sky was extraordinarily red.

"Ming Jin, let General Li withdraw his troops!" Wang Renshan ordered.

Under the night, the sergeants returned to the camp one after another, and the sick tents, medicinal herbs, and medical officers had already been prepared to receive and treat the wounded.The bloody smell added a touch of seriousness to the whole battalion. The soldiers of the Han army who did not participate in the battle felt a lot, and depression was inevitable.

Wang Renshan personally arranged the affairs of returning soldiers and battalion defense, and made inspections to calm the morale of the army.

In the wounded barracks, mourning continued, and the smell of wound medicine mixed with the pervasive smell of blood.In the camp, boiling water was boiled in large pots, and the interior was busy but not chaotic.Li Yan sat on a low stool, with bare arms and sweating profusely. Under the operation of the medical officer, he pulled out the arrowhead, applied medicine and bandaged it very skillfully.

"How's the injury?" Wang Renshan asked after entering the room.

Picking up the white cloth and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Li Yan's face twitched: "The injury is fine, I was bitten by Liu Ya!"

Together, the two inspected the wounded soldiers, attacking and defending the city, and there were far more serious injuries than minor injuries, but those who could come back alive could still be treated for their injuries.

Even so, there are still many tragic and shocking scenes, but for generals like Wang Renshan and Li Yan, it is nothing, and their hearts have long been as hard as stone.What's more, the soldiers of the Han army, even though they felt sorry for each other, didn't feel strange, and their minds had long been numb.

As far as the injured soldiers were concerned, perhaps there was still a kind of luck. At least they saved their lives and returned to the camp alive.

"How about casualties?" Li Yan asked.

Wang Renshan said: "After counting, the soldiers who participated in the attack on the stronghold only returned less than 700 people, and most of them were injured. The two battalions are considered disabled. In a short period of time, their combat strength will never be restored!"

"Then Han Jixun still has some methods. Watching him command and respond before the battle, he is quite methodical!" Wang Renshan said.

Li Yan nodded, took a deep breath, and said: "However, the combat power of the Shu army is indeed inferior to our army, and it seems a bit caught off guard when facing our army's attack today.

On the Huangniu Village, it is also difficult to deploy troops. Judging from the results of today's fierce battle, as long as they rush to the wall of the village and fight in close combat, they will definitely not be our opponents.

Even if it takes additional consumption, it can be broken.However, after today's battle, the Shu army will definitely try their best to prevent our soldiers from climbing the stronghold, and if we want to go to the city to fight, we will have to pay a greater price, and more soldiers will die! "

Listening to Li Yan's account of the gains and losses of the first battle, Wang Renshan agreed.After thinking for a while, he said: "Siege the city and pull out the stronghold, sacrifices are inevitable. However, the enemy's situation is known, it's time for us to make up our minds!"

"How do you plan to fight?"

"The whole army will continue to rest and reorganize. Tonight, we will send a small number of soldiers to carry flags and drums, and take turns to harass them, so as to exhaust their morale first!" Wang Renshan said.

"The Shu army built a stronghold to guard against danger, I'm afraid it will be difficult to disturb the enemy!" Li Yan shook his head.

"Then the enemy army in the village must always be worried and restless!" Wang Renshan showed a wicked smile.

"Tomorrow, ten thunderbolt chariots will arrive. At that time, bows and crossbows will press down on the formation, and flying stones and kerosene will hit them. Those who dare to die will go up first, and attack the stronghold with all their strength. They will be defeated in one battle, and there will be no more time to breathe!" Wang Renshan He clenched his fists, murderous, and his tone was firm.

"After eating, call the battalion commanders together and arrange combat missions!"

In Huangniu Village, the atmosphere of the Shu army was much more cheerful. After all, they repelled the Han army and won the first offensive and defensive battle. In order to inspire the army, Han Jixun ordered people to take out wine and meat to reward the generals.

"The Han army is certainly ferocious, but what can we do if our army occupies the best possible location and defends?" A military academy who participated in today's battle stood up and raised his wine bowl, and said to Han Jixun: "The last general checked, this battle The Han army directly left more than 300 corpses, and the wounded were even more difficult to count, so they retreated in a hurry! And our army, the total number of casualties and minor injuries is only about [-]!"

"You can report it to the gentleman, and please credit for the victory!" Another person said.In the eyes of the Qianshu army, the results obtained this time can be described as "rich", which is enough to be considered a meritorious service.

"The envoy does not avoid danger, personally takes the lead, and goes to the stronghold to command and defend against the enemy. All the soldiers are infected by it and fight hard. This is all the merit of the envoy. Let us respect the envoy together!" Another general appeared, North Korea and South Korea continued to compliment, which attracted a lot of approval.

Amidst the booing, Han Jixun couldn't help showing a smile: "These are all the meritorious deeds of the soldiers. I dare not honor me like this. It has been registered in the military merit book, and the process and results of this battle have also been sent to Li Zhao. Already!"

"However!" Han Jixun said in a more serious tone, "Today's battle shows the excellent equipment of the Han army and the ferocity of the soldiers. We must continue to strengthen the walls of the village, prepare more arrows and spears, and have large wooden plaques. The shield, the rolling stone gold soup, blocked the Han army in front of the stronghold, and it can no longer be like today, making it easy for them to climb up the stronghold wall!"

"Yes!"

That night, after late at night, in front of Huangniu Village, every half an hour, there would be the sound of drumming and killing, four times in a row, and the Shu army was often disturbed by it.

At noon the next day, the Han army marched out with strong bows and crossbows, hurling stones and missiles at the walls of the village. The Han general Wang Renshan selected [-] brave men to attack the city first for the whole army.

The two sides attacked, and for more than two hours, the Han army was brave and fierce like tigers and leopards. Finally, it was difficult to resist, the wall of the village was destroyed, and they retreated.The Han army broke through the stronghold and chased them down. Three thousand Shu troops suffered more than half of the casualties.

Han Jixun, the general of Shu, gathered the remnants of the army and retreated to defend Qingma Ridge behind Huangniuzhai.The Han generals Wang Renshan and Li Yan can be said to have succeeded in two battles.
