Soldiers come to the world

Due to terrain constraints, Jingzhou can only invest 2000 people at a time to attack Ping'an Fort, divided into three directions: east, middle, and west. The [-] defenders on the castle are also divided into three lines of defense. Due to the favorable location, the Jingzhou army suffered heavy casualties, but it was still difficult to capture this fortress.

The general of the Jingzhou Army who was in charge of the attack on the western front was a military marquis named Zhao Qian. They were the third batch of Jingzhou Army to join in. Most of the [-] soldiers before them had died in battle. This time Li Yan issued a death order. The rewards for going to the castle are heavy, and if you can't win the castle, you will be beheaded. This puts great pressure on the military marquis Zhao Qian.

Behind the ruins of a burnt shop, Zhao Qian summoned five village chiefs to discuss countermeasures. One chief angrily said: "The easiest way to capture the castle is the east side, and our side is the most difficult to attack. Even the east side If we can’t attack, how can we fight on the western front?”

"fart!"

Zhao Qian scolded angrily: "You have the guts to tell the prefect, don't talk such useless nonsense in front of me, if you can't take down the castle before dawn tomorrow, if my head falls to the ground, you can't even hope to survive!"

Everyone was silent. At this time, a thin village head said: "I was wondering if we could try it from the south."

"But the south side is backed by a cliff, and there is no place to stand. How can we try?" Another village chief immediately objected.

"Because it is almost impossible to attack, there are no defenders in the south. In fact, it is not a problem that the castle is tall and strong. The key is that the defenders are too fierce."

"Don't talk about it, the south is impossible, how to climb up? They were found, and they were all killed with only one stone." [

Everyone objected one after another, and Zhao Qian also felt that it was impossible, but besides that, he had other ideas, so he asked the head of the village who proposed the plan: "Do you think you can climb up?"

"Growing up in the mountains, I followed my father to collect 'medicine' since I was a child. I have climbed steeper cliffs than this one. I just need to take five brothers and sneak into the castle to wait for opportunities."

Zhao Qian thought for a while, even if a few of them died, he finally agreed, "If it succeeds, I will share half of the reward with you. In addition, I will attack from the front to cooperate with your actions."

The Fort of Ping'an is backed by a cliff more than ten feet high, and under the cliff is the surging Yangtze River. Although there is a gap about one foot long between the castle and the cliff, it is almost impossible to go around from the front to the back of the castle. You can take a boat to the bottom of the cliff, and then climb up the cliff.

The head of the village who carried out this task was named Ren Ping, a native of Zhi County, Nanjun County. He grew up in the mountains. At that time, he joined the Nanjun Army. It has been seven years since then, and he has been promoted to the head of the village.

Ren Ping has always belonged to Liu Bei's army. He was captured by Jiang Xia's army when he followed Wang Wei in a sneak attack on Xiangyang last year, and officially transferred to Liu Jing's Jiang Xia army with the army.

Ren Ping is thin and thin, and there are not many opportunities to make meritorious deeds, but this time he knows his chance has come. Although he also knows that this matter is extremely risky, the desire to get promoted and get rich makes him willing to take the risk.

He selected five warriors from five hundred soldiers to follow him, and these five men were as agile as himself and very good at climbing.

Their luck is good tonight, the clouds are dense, the stars and the moon are covered, the sky and the earth are dark, and no one can be seen a few steps away. This is a great opportunity to sneak attack at night. Under the cover of night, Ren Ping led five men Take a boat to the bottom of the cliff and climb up the mountain with bare hands.

Although the cliff was steep, it was covered with thick vines, which made their climb very smooth. In less than half an hour, they climbed up the cliff, with their backs tightly against the castle, standing on a one-foot-wide gap, and then went up. Climbing is not easy.

The castle is made of huge stones, and the joints between the huge stones are tight, so there is no effort to climb up, but for Ren Qun and the others, it is not difficult to climb up. The difficulty is that they cannot be discovered by the enemy. They did not rush to do it, but waiting patiently for an opportunity

Li Yan also went to the Fort of Ping'an in person. He had just received news from Xinling County that the scouts on the other side had discovered more than 1 Liu Bei's troops, and they were gathering at the pier on the other side, preparing to cross the river after dawn.

This made Li Yan very nervous. He is no longer worried about how to explain to Liu Jing, but once Liu Bei's army successfully crosses the river, their Bashu strategy will be hit hard. You can enter Shu calmly, but they can do nothing.

Only by taking the Fort of Ping'an can they attack Liu Bei's army and cross the river. At this time, Li Yan also knew the information that the six warriors were climbing the city from behind. , Attack the castle from all fronts!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The drums of the Jingzhou army were loud, and more than two thousand soldiers launched an attack on Ping'an Fort from three sides. Shoot to the top of the city. [

The [-] defenders on the top of the city all went up to defend the city, and a piece of boulders and rolling logs smashed down the city. After being forked out of the city, the long ladder fell backwards, and dozens of soldiers on the ladder let out long screams.

Liu Bei's army was condescending, shooting with arrows, hitting with stones and rolling logs, and counterattacked sharply, causing heavy casualties to the attacking Jingzhou army. However, Li Yan did not allow the soldiers to retreat. city.

The six warriors in the south of the castle were waiting for this opportunity. The Jingzhou army attacked the city fiercely, so there were no defenders in the south, only two guards were left, and they were all focused on the battle ahead, not paying attention to the battle behind them. abnormal.

Ren Ping has rich experience. He knew how to make tools for climbing cliffs since he was a child. They slowly erected three bamboo poles several feet long. The front end of the bamboo poles was equipped with a big iron hook, which was hooked to the top of the city above. The six people were divided into three groups. , Climb up quickly along the bamboo pole.

Ren Ping was the first to climb up to the top of the city. He supported the battlements with one hand, and slowly revealed his eyes. As expected, there were no patrolling soldiers in the south, only two sentinels stood at the corners on both sides, and they were gazing at the front with all their attention. In the battle, he didn't realize the danger behind him at all.

Another subordinate also climbed up to the top of the wall. The two nodded, took down the military crossbow from their backs, held the crossbow with one arm, and aimed crosswise at the two sentinels. The two of them pulled the hanging knife almost at the same time, only to hear 'click!Click! 'Twice, two crossbow bolts shot at the sentinel like lightning.

The two sentries uttered a muffled cry, and fell limply to the ground. Ren Ping was overjoyed, and jumped onto the top of the wall, followed by another soldier. They split up and threw the two bodies into the Yangtze River. The other four people climbed up to the top of the city one after another, and the six of them were all dressed in Liu Beijun's military uniform, and quickly ran to the front of the city.

At this time, the battle ahead was extremely fierce. Although hundreds of people were killed and injured in Jingzhou, they also broke through the enemy's giant stone rolling formation, put dozens of siege ladders on the top of the city, and Jingzhou soldiers climbed with shields and knives Going up the city, they fought fiercely with the defenders on the top of the city.

Ren Ping led five subordinates and mixed into the defenders. In the chaos, no one would pay attention to whether they were different. Before going to the city, Ren Ping discussed with his superiors how to deal with it.

He led five of his men to the northwest corner, which was a dead corner, and the angle of the attacking party's upper city was very small, and only a few people could defend this corner.

At this moment, there was no ladder to attack here, the six of them defended this corner, Ren Ping pulled a torch from the top of the city and threw it down the city.

The torch drew an arc in the air and fell into the Jingzhou soldiers below the city. This was a signal. Zhao Qian, who had been waiting under the city, saw the torch thrown down. He was overjoyed and immediately reported to Li Yan, "Report to the prefect, we Brother got it."

Li Yan also had a glimmer of hope in his heart, he nodded, "It's up to you!"

Zhao Qian waved his hand, "Follow me!"

He took more than 100 people and rushed to the northwest corner with ladders on their shoulders. When the ladder reached the top of the city, Zhao Qian took the lead in climbing to the top of the city with a giant shield and spear. At this time, a tooth general saw the siege ladder , shouted: "Hold the northwest corner!"

Ren Ping shouted in response: "Brothers, hold on, and never let the enemy go to the city!"

The six of them blocked all angles, blocked the dozens of people who came to help the battle, blocked the entrance to the city with six spears, and did not use rolling logs and boulders to throw downwards, nor did they use steel forks to open ladders outwards. , just pointlessly prying up the ladder with a spear.

This extremely passive defensive posture made the city leader furious, and cursed: "Those idiots in the northwest corner, let them go away!"

More than a dozen military discipline soldiers came rushing forward with sticks, and beat their heads and faces. The soldiers behind saw that they were weak in defense, and rushed to try to drive them away. At this moment, two soldiers pushed forward with a log weighing one hundred catties Get ready to smash the wood down.

The situation was very critical, Ren Ping suddenly shouted, "Do it!"

Six people fought back at the same time, and killed the defenders with spears and knives. The spear pierced the back of the soldier carrying the wood and knocked them to the ground. Four or five defenders were killed, and everyone was frightened Retreat, the sudden change caused chaos in the city.

The chief tooth general was taken aback, he immediately realized what was happening, and yelled: "Kill them quickly!"

Dozens of soldiers charged at the six men with spears, and the six men resisted desperately with their giant shields. At this critical moment, the military marquis Zhao Qian jumped up to the city, stabbed the enemy with his spears, and knocked a long man head-on.

The soldiers behind rushed to the top of the city one after another, and finally a line of defense was torn apart from the strong castle. The number of people increased from dozens to hundreds, and from one siege ladder to more than a dozen siege ladders. There are more and more soldiers at the head of the city.

Half an hour later, the gate of the castle made of cast iron opened with a bang, and a flood of Jingzhou soldiers rushed into the castle. The Jingzhou Army flag was flying high above the city, and the Ping An Fort fell, and the Jingzhou Army finally took control of the pier.

Although the Jingzhou army did not capture Zigui County, they captured Ping'an Fort and occupied the wharf, built fortifications with mud bags, and invested [-] soldiers with bows and crossbows to defend Liu Bei's army from landing.

In particular, Ping An Fort is close to the pier, condescending, and can easily attack ships that are docked. This once again cut off the connection between Liu Bei's army and Yiling Road, and made Liu Bei's army attack Badong on a large scale. Redeem a little.
