Chapter 777 City Defense Battle
Sun Tzu's Art of War said: If I want to fight, even if the enemy has high forts and deep ditches, those who have no choice but to fight me will attack and save them; if I don't want to fight, even if I draw the ground and defend it, if the enemy cannot fight with me, then I will do what he wants. That's it.
After Zhang Shun sent officials from the Tang Dynasty to give Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, Prince Anyang's head and women's clothes, Tang Hui was furious and sent an army to attack the city that night.
As a result, the rebels were easily repelled with the help of the city.
The officers and soldiers rushed neither too early nor too late, and the attack was so hasty that it was almost certain that they would be killed.
Zhang Shun never expected that Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, could be so stupid. He felt strange and couldn't help but murmured: "This Tang Hui is not an ignorant person. How could he be so thoughtless and risk his life this time?"
How could he have imagined that the obscene clothes he sent over would play a huge role.
It turned out that Zhang Shun asked Zeng Yurou to make this obscene garment. She habitually sewed it according to her own preferences and patterns, and the result was predictable.
King Zhu Yujian of the Tang Dynasty may not remember the specific appearance of Princess Zeng Yurou's obscene clothes, but he still knows the general color and style.
Therefore, due to a strange combination of circumstances, Tang Wang Zhu Yujian was almost mad. In addition, Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, saw the rebels "slaughtering the clan". Naturally, the two hit it off and sent troops to attack the city.
The siege equipment of the officers and soldiers has not been fully prepared, and the simple tools they have in hand are not much better than the "antfu" siege.
Nanyang City has twenty-seven steps on Saturday. It is two feet and two feet high and two feet deep. It has four gates and four turrets. It is the smallest city among the eight prefectures in Henan. Although Xiao Qinhu only had three thousand soldiers and horses under his command, they were enough to defend the city.
The five hundred elite men who were originally under Ren Jirong complained about him because they were abandoned outside the city, and were unwilling to return to his command.
Zhang Shun temporarily sent these soldiers to Xiao Qinhu's command, and let Ren Jirong take charge of the two thousand surrendered troops in Nanyang City.
Lao Hu completed the task of "killing a county king" and became so angry that he had to join the rebel army.
Zhang Shun ordered him to recruit some strong men from the city for patrolling. This would also save the energy of the soldiers and allow them to get sufficient rest.
Moreover, Zhang Shun could stand on Wangfu Mountain in the Tang Dynasty Palace and have a clear view of the situation outside the city. He can prepare in advance based on the observed movements of officers and soldiers.
Sometimes, when seeing that the troops assembled by the officers and soldiers are insufficient, Ren Guangrong's "child soldiers" can be dispatched for a surprise attack.
All these things made Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, feel itchy with hatred. If it were not for his identity, he would have wanted to grab Tang Wang Zhu Yujian by the collar and question him: "Are the successive Tang kings in your mansion mentally ill? How can we fight this battle by building such a rockery that can 'see all the mountains at a glance'? "
After attacking the city several times and suffering several losses, Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, became clearer.
"No, we can't fight like this!" Tang Hui frowned. If this continues, there's no telling what will happen in the city over time.
"Then what should we do?" Prince Tang looked bad. He had been having nightmares for the past few days and was already worried.
"I want to mobilize elite troops to help in the battle!" Tang Hui, governor of Huguang, gritted his teeth and said cruelly, "Commander-in-chief You Shiwei and deputy commander-in-chief Zhang Waijia have 5,000 Shanhaiguan closed-door cavalry in their hands, which can be used to defeat the enemy."
This You Shiwei is one of the "Three Heroes of the You Family" and the brother of You Shilu, the commander-in-chief whom Zhang Shun defeated outside Liaozhou City.
This man was born as a general in the You family. He was originally the chief military officer of Changping, and later moved to the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan.
Last year, Houjin conquered Lin Danhan who fled to Tumote and besieged Xuanfu when he returned. He and Wu Xiang, the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan, were ordered to rush for reinforcements, but they were dismissed from their posts because they refused to advance.
Before the trip could be completed in the future, Zhang Shun's rampage in western Henan became extremely difficult to control. The imperial court asked him to bring his deputy general Zhang Waijia and lead 5,000 Shanhaiguan closed-door cavalry to fight against the thieves.
Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, was worried that bandits from Shaanxi and western Henan would flee to Nanyang and Huguang, so he ordered him to garrison Luonan Lancaochuan, Lushi Zhuyangguan and other places.
Now that Nanyang City was in a hurry and it was difficult to leave, Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, had no choice but to order his transfer.
In fact, this was due to the poor use of troops by Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang. Na You Shiwei and Zhang Waijia had 5,000 cavalry in their hands, and they were even more powerful than the Liaodong cavalry under Fu Zong, Long Zukuan.
If Tang Hui could transfer them to Ye County for a battle, with horses galloping and rushing back and forth, unstoppable, the rebel army would be in a very passive position.
As a result, this guy put five thousand elite cavalry into the high mountains for defense. It was really overkill and underutilized.
Just when Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, was dispatching troops and generals, Zhang Shun was standing on Wangfu Mountain.
He pointed at the crowd and said: "Look, from this observation point, the movements of the officers and soldiers outside the city are all visible!"
The governor of Huguang, Tang Hui, had the same idea as the hero Zhang Shun, and they happened to set up camp on the site where the rebel army had set up camp when they attacked the city.
Firstly, there are still some remnants, which saves the officers and soldiers some time to set up camp; secondly, if things are not harmonious, they can retreat to the mountains to the north in order to fight again.
Facing the officers and soldiers camp is the north gate of Nanyang, called Bowang Gate. It's the scene where Zhuge Liang burned Bowang Po in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Of course, in fact, the protagonist who burned Bowangpo in history was the emperor's uncle Liu Xuande. Zhang Shunjing only found out about this after Zeng Yurou explained it.
A new round of attack by the officers and soldiers began. Teams of officers and soldiers carried long ladders and put them on the moat of Nanyang as a simple wooden bridge to cross the river.
The rebel defenders had already shot arrows. Huguang soldiers were less armored, so they were hit by arrows one after another.
The human body without protection is very fragile, and even a bow and arrow with a small draw force can pierce a soldier's body.
The soldiers who suffered penetrating injuries suddenly lost their combat effectiveness, and some even fell directly into the moat. After two plops, only a faint drop of blood was left floating on the river.
After the officers and soldiers crossed the moat, they were greeted by ping-ping-pong-pong rocks and rolling logs.
Nanyang is mountainous and rocky, so it is easier to prepare rocks in the city.
Originally, there were some stones prepared by officers and soldiers in Nanyang City. After the rebels took over, many more were brought in from outside the city.
Being "rich", he threw down the city wall as if he didn't need money for a while. These things touched the dead, injured, and almost unprotected officers and soldiers, who suddenly burst into mourning.
I don’t know how long it took and how many lives were taken. Finally, some officers and soldiers climbed up the tower. They were greeted by dense spears and thorns.
Some people were pricked into hedgehogs, and some were pricked into meat skewers. The corpses were thrown down one by one, killing and injuring many officers and soldiers.
Like a flesh-and-blood mill, Huguang Governor Tang Hui's siege was both bloody and boring.
The rebels on the city were almost too weak to kill them, but suddenly the Bowangmen gate opened wide, and a group of sharp formations came out to kill the generals.
First there was a hail of arrows, and then there was a barrage of spears, and the officers and soldiers were immediately routed.
However, because the moat was blocking the way, the officers and soldiers had no way to escape. Most of them either fell into the water or were stabbed to death on the spot. Only a few managed to escape by stepping on the ladders built on the moat.
The people in the city heard the golden sound ringing again, and they judged with military literacy: The officers and soldiers were defeated again!
