Red Tang

Chapter 47

At this time, Wu Hai, commander of the first brigade of the Suzaku Regiment, had turned livid.In his opinion, if his subordinates follow his instructions step by step and cover each other, the "casualties" will not be too heavy when they reach the city wall.However, this group of recruits who had never seen blood took their own initiative to tear apart the formation, and a group of soldiers providing cover at the rear did not have enough firepower to cover such a large area!

"Stupid! A bunch of idiots!" Wu Hai jumped his feet angrily, but there was no better solution. "Pass down the order and tell them to continue attacking until there is only one person left and they are not allowed to retreat!" Now it is a dead end, and if they give up halfway, the previous brothers will be "sacrificed" in vain.Although Wu Hai didn't know what Zhang Shouyu was thinking, he firmly believed that his coach's decision must be justified.As a brigade commander, he doesn't have to think about too many things, he just needs to do his best to carry out the orders of the coach.

Order the flag officer to raise the general flag high above his head, and wave it forward with all his strength.This represents the attitude of only advancing and not retreating, and this represents the belief that death is at home.

"Follow me, brothers!" Team leader Qi Qingzhi glanced at the flag and understood what the commander meant. Soldiers have no choice but to obey on the battlefield!All the soldiers rushed under the city wall. Under the cover of Pao Ze, they built the ladders and tied the ropes one after another.What's the next step?Everyone looked at their team blankly. As a recruit who had just joined the army for less than a month, siege was too unfamiliar to them.

"Don't think about anything, climb up, climb up and chop them down!" Qi Qingzhi's answer was short and powerful.Yes, there is no room for thinking on the battlefield.Climb up and kill them all, or you will die if you don't kill them all.The cruelty of war lies in the annihilation of human nature. At this moment, any morality seems so hypocritical and pale.

Seeing that the recruits were still in a daze, Qi Qingzhi was the first to climb up the ladder in a rage.Generals are the courage of an army, so under normal circumstances, generals will not easily put themselves in danger.This is irresponsible to oneself, and even more irresponsible to the army and to Paoze.But Qi Qingzhi had no choice. The recruits didn't know how to attack the city at all, and someone needed to stand up and set an example for them.There is no doubt that I am the best candidate.

This angle is exactly the blind spot of Yujian's coverage. The lethality of the arrow rain has been greatly reduced compared to dozens of steps away, and everyone has already passed the first hurdle.As long as you climb up the city wall and step over the crenel, you can fight with the defenders on the city wall at close range.The area of ​​the city wall is small, and the advantage of the number of soldiers cannot be reflected.As long as everyone drags on for half a stick of incense, more robes will rush up...

But the defenders won't give them that chance.Yang Yibo, the brigade commander of the first brigade of the Qinglong Regiment, ordered loudly: "Don't shoot the arrows, push the "rolling wood" down. Are the "rolling logs" ready? Let's see when they climb five or six feet away from the crenel, they will be full of energy." Water it down, and burn his mother upside down!" Yang Yibo was originally a poor nobleman, and he obtained the Xingqing Palace honorary position by relying on his ancestral shadow.Because of his outstanding performance in fighting fires in the palace several times, he was promoted to the rank of captain.This time he came to apply for the Shence Army, just to gamble that Yang Yibo can earn a foundation enough to shelter his descendants, and bet that Yang Yibo can return to Chang'an alive to enjoy this wealth.

He has never been on a battlefield, let alone defending a city.But he knew an old principle that the city defenders should make reasonable use of the advantages of the terrain and city pools to consume as much of the opponent's vital strength as possible.Kill one of them, and I will be safe!

A "rolling log" made of a section of poplar was thrown out from the crenel of the tower by the soldiers, and the siege recruits who had climbed halfway smashed onto the felt carpet at the bottom of the city.

"Ah!" A recruit followed his team's footsteps and was climbing up another ladder.Unexpectedly, misfortune came, and a piece of rolling wood fell on his shoulder.The recruit instantly lost his center of gravity and fell backwards on his back. (Note 1)

"Ouch!" Even though he was wearing armor and protected by layers of felt blankets, the recruit was still thrown heavily.Greeting all over the ancestors who threw the rolling log guards, the "killed" soldiers patted the dust on their buttocks angrily, and left in mourning.

However, Qi Qingzhi completely ignored the robe that fell down the ladder, distracted at this moment, even for a moment, would "destroy his life".Years of war experience told me that the best way to have a greater chance of surviving a war is to rush forward without thinking about anything.People who are more afraid of death tend to die sooner, and those who survive and earn military merits are usually desperate young men.Qi Qingzhi clings to the ladder like a gecko. As a veteran, he knows how to protect himself better.When climbing the city, you need to move quickly in small steps. Small steps can stabilize the center of gravity, and moving quickly can more effectively avoid risks from the defenders.He had climbed fifteen or sixteen feet, and he was still five feet away from reaching the top of the wall.He has almost seen the fear on the faces of the defenders, and he has almost seen the dawn of victory.

"No!" A pot of "boiling oil" was poured down, and Qi Qingzhi roared unwillingly.When sieging a city, the soldiers are most afraid of boiling oil, which covers too much area.The defending party poured it down from top to bottom, and the brothers who attacked the city had almost no possibility of avoiding it.Sprinkling boiling oil on the body can scald off a layer of flesh, and the scorched smell of roasted human flesh, accompanied by steam from the skin, can be carried several miles away with the wind.

Qi Qingzhi felt an unbearable humiliation. Being defeated so close to success made him feel ashamed.Although he didn't suffer any physical damage during this trip to the city, this kind of mental trauma is often more terrifying.

"what!"

"You son of a bitch, just wait..."

A sound of cursing came from beside him, but Qi Qingzhi didn't intend to resist any more.His heart died, and the man jumped to the ground covered with felt carpets. At this moment, he surrendered.

...

Li Kuo led the New Third Brigade to the east of the city. Looking at the fallen robes one by one, the young man let out a long sigh.

"My lord, let's attack!" Pu Dachui blushed anxiously, and kept beating his chest to fight.

"Wait a little longer." The boy looked up at Tuyuan in the west of the city, he was waiting for an opportunity.That opportunity was fleeting, and he had no choice but to seize it.

...

"How long will it take to finish the work, just leave a two-person wide horse path, the brothers in the north can't hold it anymore!" Tao Cheng stomped his feet anxiously on the original slope in the west of the city, as Zhang's most trusted man. Several subordinates, he is very clear about the tactics of the captain.To put it bluntly, the frontal attack is to attract the attention of the defenders and buy time for the impact of the horse road.In fact, this is filling the nest with the lives of a brigade of brothers, and Tao Cheng's heart hurts when he thinks of this.Although he clearly knew that this was an exercise, the nature of a soldier made him treat every exercise as an actual combat.Although he still has three brigades left in preparation, if he and Brother Wu Hai can't take the fort together, it would be tantamount to wishful thinking in his opinion to rely on a half-grown child to reverse the decline.

"Soon, soon. Commander-in-Chief, the calf bag is not tight yet, should we wait a little longer?" A veteran with the appearance of a captain looked at the loose bridle path and asked tentatively.

"Wait a bit, wait until the city defenders can hold a celebration banquet. Victory or defeat depends on one move, everyone rush with me, kill them, kill them all!" Tao Cheng's eyes were red with anxiety, and he was the first to charge horse road.

"Follow your lord and rush over, kill them all!" The guards shouted in response.

"If it's a man, don't hide behind, kill them all, and the commander will give us a celebration banquet."

At this moment, they only have the desire for victory in their eyes, that desire is like the state of a smoker when he sees white powder, excited and terrifying.

The soldiers of 100 bravely rushed along the narrow horse path that was as wide as two people. The brigade commander said that what awaited them in front of them was military exploits at their fingertips and innumerable rewards.Marshal Ge Shuhan said first that the first to break the city will be awarded a regiment captain, and there will be no jokes since ancient times!As soon as they thought of moving their fingers, they could get rewards that were hard to find in actual combat. The recruits were like hungry wolves that had found their prey, with greedy green lights shooting out of their eyes.

"Sir, they are here!"

On the west side of the city wall, Yang Yibo, the commander of the first brigade of the Qinglong Regiment, lightly stroked a strand of beard under his chin, and leisurely looked at the "hungry wolf" that was rushing towards him.

"Wolf is coming, hunters should also close their nets." Yang Yibo nodded to a soldier beside him, who immediately ran to the west side of the city wall with understanding, and spread the order of his commander.

"The Commander-in-Chief has an order, the spearmen are on standby at the crenel in the west of the city!"

"Master Lu Commander is ordered, the spearmen gather at the west entrance of the city and stand by for orders!"

An order was passed along the city wall, and the soldiers who used to be spearmen carried eight-foot-high spears and ran towards the west crenel of the city...

"Damn it, it looks like we've been tricked!" When Tao Cheng led the team to the west crenel, he found that he seemed to have fallen into a trap that had already been designed.Those turtle grandchildren who defended the city knew from the very beginning that our frontal siege was to attract attention, and they deployed heavy troops in the west of the city from the very beginning!

The narrow bridle path is completely unable to display the formation, each of them is waiting for them, and the soldiers armed with "spears" have been waiting for them at the top of the city for a long time.At this moment, the slit only three feet wide has become an insurmountable gap...

................................................

Note 1: Poplar wood: Poplar wood is actually very light, so even if it is made into a "rolling log" and hits someone, it will not hurt the muscles and bones. In addition, soldiers are equipped with protective gear, and it will hurt for a while at most.Ge Shuhan has always been strict with the command of the army, and here is a novel, so he did it in order to complete the plot.
