Chapter 260 The First Offensive of the Jibei Army ([-])

The sandbags that were pushed down from the city gate stood in front of the city gate like a hill, blocking the dilapidated city gate at the east gate of Sucheng.In fact, the most effective and ruthless way to defend the city is to seal the four gates from inside the city, so that it is impossible for the enemy to enter through the city gate and your own people can rest before going out.The Great Sui conquered Goguryeo, and the Goguryeo people in Liaodong City did just that.Block the entire city gate with mud and bricks. In this era without gunpowder blasting, this method of defense will make the attacking party feel powerless and desperate.

When Xiong Kuohai ordered the sandbags to be pushed down, Peng Zhen, Wang Bo's general, immediately showed an uncontrollable anger. This anger made him feel like his heart was about to explode, and his face immediately become hideous.

Few people would think of using this method to block the city gate from the outside to deal with the city hammer. This is not absolutely blocking the city gate. As long as the enemy is willing to pay a terrible price to clear away all the sandbags outside the city gate, As long as the enemy, whether general or soldier, has a spirit of sacrificing life and forgetting death, it is only a matter of time before the city gate is broken.

However, it is obvious that the strong attack for more than an hour has caused the Jibei Army to lose its original vigor and fearlessness.Just like what Li Xian said, the reason why Wang Bo's men acted so bravely was because they felt that breaking down Sucheng was nothing more than a simple matter. Once the city gate was broken, all the money, food and women in the city They are all their spoils.They have 15 people, and even Sucheng can't fit so many people. How can a tiny city withstand the impact of 15 people?What's more, they don't lack siege equipment this time. As long as they hit the city hammer, how many hits can that dilapidated and dilapidated city gate withstand?

But this kind of morale is not long-lasting. When they have paid a terrible price and have not seen the hope of breaking the city, the fragility and cowardice in their hearts popped out, even if Peng Zhen shouted hoarsely and hysterically Urging and ordering, but none of the soldiers of the Jibei Army rushed forward as desperately as before.

The ladders on the city wall were pushed away by the defenders of Yanyun Village with hooks, or splashed with boiled vegetable oil and then ignited. Only a few people climbed up the city gate with knives in their mouths, but few of them climbed up the city gate. It was soon chopped into meat by the Yanyunzhai defenders on the city wall like melons and vegetables.

Xu Shiji glanced at Xiong Kuo Hai appreciatively, slightly shocked in his heart.

He didn't expect that this seemingly rough and heroic man would have such careful thought and such patience.He originally thought that someone like Xiong Kuo Hai would definitely be a first-class hero when charging into the battlefield to kill the enemy. A big man who is a head taller than himself and can fit himself in is also so good at defending the city.

He admired Yu Xiongkuohai's ability, and even more appreciated Yu Li Xian's indifference.

Since the Jibei Army started to attack, Li Xian has never spoken a word except to teach Xiong Kuohai to say hello-you-mother.He didn't say much and didn't participate in the command of the defenders on the city wall, and he didn't even approach Xiong Kuo Hai.He just stood by the gate tower, quietly and indifferently watching his subordinates suppress the enemy's attacks wave after wave.

This is an attitude, an attitude of absolute trust in the opponent.

Xu Shiji was shocked by this attitude.

Xu Shiji is well aware of a truth, the more people who understand war, the more they feel that they are right.The more famous the player is, the more he is used to pointing fingers at his opponents.They feel that they are the masters on the battlefield, any order must come from their mouths, and any soldier must obey their own will.The more famous the general, the more conceited he is, the more he binds the hands and feet of his subordinates.Because they all feel that only under their own command can they win the war.

Li Xian, the person who shined brilliantly in Liaodong under the pseudonym Yanyun, the person who wiped out Zhang Jincheng, the giant of the green forest road, in the two wars, the person who took the entire Dongping County into his pocket in just a few months, this person even He is a person who knows that he will face the threat of Wagang Village and is unwilling to send his subordinates as hostages, or a person who absolutely trusts his subordinates.

This is no doubt about employing people?

Xu Shiji took a deep breath, and carefully looked at the handsome young man standing with his hands behind his back not far away.

Xu Shiji is conceited. Although his Xu family is not a powerful family, it is one of the most prominent families in the local area. His father spent a lot of money to hire various teachers to teach him, whether it is etiquette, culture, martial arts or art of war.And he is an enviably intelligent person, who can fully grasp all kinds of things he has learned, and there is no doubt that he will emerge from the blue. Those gentlemen who have taught him have finally become his defeats.

He doesn't think that those young talents who are famous all over the world are better than him, including Li Mi and Chai Shao who are from aristocratic families.

However, what he couldn't figure out was, how did Li Xian do it so that even he had to admire him?

How did he spend his youth?

When Li Xian looked at Xiong Kuohai commanding the defense of the city with a smile, and when Xu Shiji frowned slightly thinking about Li Xian, Peng Zhen outside the city was already so angry that he swung his knife and killed three or four retreating people one after another. Soldiers of the Jibei Army.The Jibei Army soldiers silted up under the city wall couldn't attack the city wall, and they had to face the continuous shooting of the defenders on the city wall.I don't know who yelled to withdraw first, and then the soldiers of the Jibei Army began to retreat like a tide.

"Kill those who retreat!"

Peng Zhen's voice had become hoarse, and the sound he shouted was as unpleasant as the wind sweeping sand and stones in the northwest desert.

……

……

"Peng Zhen, if you are tired, come down and have a rest. How can the brothers watch you screaming hoarse and helpless? Or, the brothers will change you?"

When Peng Zhen couldn't stop his subordinates from retreating and had to return to Wang Bo to plead guilty, Qiu Ji, the fifth leader beside Wang Bo, said with a smile on his face.Although his tone was gentle and gentle, as if an elder cared about the younger generation, it was an insult to Peng Zhen's ears.

In fact, Chucky is by no means kind.

Sure enough, Peng Zhen said with a cold face: "Don't worry about Fifth Brother, let my soldiers come down and rest for a while, I guarantee that the next attack will definitely take Sucheng!"

Chu Ji chuckled and said, "Peng Zhen, this bullshit is not just a joke."

"Who's bragging!"

Peng Zhen said angrily: "After the soldiers have rested for a while and recovered their strength, I will definitely break through Sucheng! The boss entrusted me with the task of attacking the city, so I won't worry about it!"

Chu Ji sneered and said, "If you say you can break through, you can break through? I saw someone's team crumble!"

Peng Zhendao: "I said that if you can break through, you can break through. If you don't believe me, just look at it!"

"There is no joke in the army."

Chu Ji looked at Peng Zhen with a sneer and said.

"I would like to issue a military order! If I can't take it down, the master of Sucheng cut off my head!"

Peng Zhen said loudly.

Wang Bo glared at Qiu Ji, he knew that Qiu Ji was deliberately forcing Peng Zhen to issue a military order.Those old people who rebelled with him at the beginning were a little uncomfortable with promoting Peng Zhen by himself.How could they bear to let a young man like Peng Zhen sit on an equal footing with them?However, although Wang Bo had already seen that Qiu Ji was deliberately attacking Peng Town, he still did not stop him.Because he needed Peng Zhen to have this kind of morale and murderous spirit, and Wang Bo didn't care about military orders and the like.If he doesn't nod his head, who can kill Peng Zhen?

Qiu Ji was stared at by Wang Bo, sneered twice and stopped talking.

"If you are really tired, take a rest, I will send someone else to attack for a while."

Wang Bo looked at Peng Zhen and said.

"No need!"

Peng Zhen clasped his fists and said, "Give me another chance, and I will wash Sucheng with blood!"

Wang Bo nodded and said: "Alright, young people must have this kind of vigor. If you can take down Sucheng in one attack, I will look down on Yanyunzhai even more. Anyway, he is also someone who can defeat Zhang Jincheng , Naturally, you will not admit defeat easily. But you don’t need to be too impatient, can I still be blocked by a small old city when I come with an army of 15?”

He patted Peng Zhen on the shoulder and smiled, "Take a rest, I will send five hundred soldiers to you later."

"The head of the family is generous!"

Luo Laizi, the third leader, laughed and said, "I've never seen the leader send his soldiers to others. Peng Zhen, if you can't win Sucheng, how can you be worthy of the trust of the leader? In my case, if I can't win Sucheng, I will have no face to live on."

Peng Zhen said coldly: "You don't need to worry about the third brother, if you can't take Sucheng, I will cut off this head myself to apologize!"

Luo Manzi laughed and said, "Master, this military order is what Peng Zhen himself is willing to issue."

Wang Bo gave Luo Manny a cold look and said, "Shut up! Do you think other people are fools? In front of me, you can't tolerate others pointing fingers!"

Luo Manzi was taken aback, startled by the coldness in Wang Bo's tone, but when he looked at Peng Zhen, the murderous look in his eyes became more intense.

On the city wall, Xiong Kuohai ordered the soldiers to take advantage of the retreat of the Jibei Army to rest, and then asked the peasants to go up the city wall and carry the corpses down.Then transport sandbags, rolling logs, stones, lime and vegetable oil for defending the city.

"General, I plan to send someone out to fight back."

Xiong Kuohai walked up to Li Xian, wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "The next time the Jibei Army attacks again, I will personally lead people out from the south gate to the flank of the Jibei Army. For the second offensive of the Northern Army, today Wang Bo's men can no longer raise their morale to attack the city."

Li Xian smiled and said: "Since I entrusted Sucheng to you to guard,
