Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 38
"Although it's not very useful, let's do the courtesy first and then the soldiers!" Wang Wenzuo smiled. He took the pen and paper from the guard, finished writing a letter, and handed it to Cui Hongdu: "Hongdu, please!"

"It's unnecessary!" Cui Hongdu snorted coldly, drew out a feathered arrow and tied the letter to the arrow shaft, rode his horse to the first barrier, bent his bow and shot the arrow book in, and then rode back. .It turned out that Cui Hongdu's guess was right. A few minutes later, a Tang army's helmet was thrown from behind the barrier. There were seventeen or eighteen arrow holes on it. Even an illiterate person could understand the hostility behind it.

"Then let's get started!" Wang Wenzuo jumped off his horse: "Hongdu, you feint to attack along the road, and Buddhist monk, you use long ladders in the west, dig more soil, use more scorpions, and less dead people, so that those recruits will sweat and see blood. !"

With the sound of horns and drums, this small army began to move slowly. Compared with the veterans of the Tang army, the movements of these Sanhan recruits who were serfs not long ago were much more clumsy.Under the scolding of the officers, they unloaded the "scorpions" from the carts, and then pushed them to the front of the battle to assemble them, while the veterans taunted the rookies loudly while wearing their armor.

"Looking at the stupidity of these guys, do they think this is harvesting wheat in their own fields?"

"That's right, don't you see that what they are holding is a wheat threshing guy?"

"Yes, sickle, flail, and claw hoe, are they here to farm or fight!"

The sound of ridicule fell on Yuan Fei's head like an arrow. He pretended not to hear, and directed the recruits to the west slope of the village—there was the lowest part of the village. The vertical height from the ground is less than 20 meters, and you can climb up with a ladder.Under Yuan Fei's command, the recruits stopped when they were about [-] steps away from the breakthrough. They first set up the long cards, and then dug up the soil. At first, the people in the village shot arrows towards this side. , Throwing stones, but when they found that the enemy was just digging, they stopped shooting and began to taunt and curse loudly.

"Don't pay attention to those bastards, don't be afraid, work quickly!" Yuan Fei walked through the ranks, kicking the asses of those who flinched hard, ignoring many arrows flying over their heads—there was a long card in front of him. Covering and wearing iron leaf armor, he firmly believed that his life would not be like this.

On the other side of the village, on the road leading to the village, the battle is going on fiercely.The Baekje people built six barriers on this only road, each of which was composed of three-meter-high earth barriers, one-person-deep trenches and wooden fences. Fortresses, the defenders at the high places behind the sides can also shoot arrows, throw javelins and throw stones at the enemies on the mountain road, so that the attacker will be threatened by firepower from several directions at the same time.

In front of them, the Tang army used "scorpions" to fire short spears and stone bullets on the barrier. When the guards on the barrier were almost cleared, they sent out infantry in a formation of tortoise shells to attack.Perhaps it was because of the family members behind them, the guards fought extremely tenaciously and sent reinforcements continuously. After fighting like this for an afternoon, the Tang army also captured two barriers. More than [-] people were injured, and they were still far away from the village. It's getting late.

At this time, Yuan Fei had already piled up the slope according to the order, and erected dozens of long boards. Since there was a steep hill in front of him, there was no need to worry about the enemy's counterattack. The recruits hid behind the long boards in twos and threes, and some drank water. , some gossip.If it weren't for the faint shouts of killing coming from the village, it would be like autumn queen digging up the land for her own family.Even Yuan Fei himself felt a little weird: Could it be that Captain Wang asked him to dig the soil here just to attract the attention of the guards?

"Have all your people rested enough?"

Yuan Fei turned around in surprise, and saw Wang Wenzuo looking at him with a smile. The soldiers behind him were all wearing iron armor, knives and spears, and carrying more than ten sets of long ladders. He suddenly understood, nodded quickly and said: : "I've had enough rest, wait for the captain to dispatch!"

"Very well, get the torches ready, Monk Fa, the person who will lead you up first!" Wang Wenzuo instructed Shen Faseng behind him.

Yuan Fei responded, and called the recruits to get up from the ground to carry the ladders, while the rest pushed the six "scorpions" onto the slope, aiming at the village on the top of the slope, but they did not fire.Because it was a surprise attack, the drums and trumpets were not played. The recruits carried the ladder and erected it. The iron hook at the top of the long ladder was deeply embedded in the soil slope. Holding the weapon, he put the leather shield on his head with one hand, and climbed up the ladder with the other hand, like an agile ape.Only then did the few guards on this side of the village realize that this was not a deception, but a real attack. They shouted loudly and rushed to the wall of the village to throw stones and arrows at the Tang soldiers on the long ladder.

"Blow the horn, 'Scorpion' fires, and the crossbowman steps forward!" Wang Wenzuo said in a deep voice.

The horn sounded, and almost at the same time, the horn sounded from the other side of the village, as if in response. "Scorpion" made a dull sound, and shot short spears and stone bullets at the top of the wall at an astonishing speed. The unlucky one who was hit fell down from the wall with a shrill scream, and then stopped abruptly.Taking advantage of this gap, Shen Faseng was the first to climb up the wall of the village. He parried the stabbing spear with his leather shield, and slashed obliquely with the knife. The opponent fell like a scarecrow, and the second opponent was frightened by the spurted blood. , He hesitated a little, this gave Shen Faseng a chance, his first blow cut off the opponent's wrist, and the second blow split him alive from the shoulder to the breastbone, and he died instantly.He raised his blood-stained machete, and his voice was like a bell: "There is nothing to be afraid of, these guys are very weak!"

"Go up, go up!"

The Tang army in heavy armor first stepped in along the long ladder. Compared with the scales and iron armor on their bodies, the Baekje people were almost naked, and most of the defenders had been attracted to the other side of the village. One side went.Soon they cleared a large section of the wall, and more and more successors climbed up the long ladder. They began to throw short spears, stones and torches at the surrounding houses, and soon the smoke and flames rose. When I got up, the light of the setting sun shone on the smoke, like solidified plasma, showing a special dark red color.

The flames jumped on the firewood, like a group of mischievous elves, sometimes circling, sometimes twisting, chasing each other, climbing up into the air, and the air seemed to be liquefied by the high heat, shining in the night.Sancho carefully turned the pork on the grill so that it would not be burnt. It was part of today's trophy. Victory is the best wine. Everyone around the fire was flushed.
