Chapter 927: Everyone's Responsibility(1/2)

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

This battle made Chen Youliang feel scared of the strength of Hongdu City. He did not attack the city for several days after that. After some renovation, he listened to Zhang Dingbian's advice and divided his troops to occupy Ji'an as a habitat for a large army of 600,000. However, what he did not expect was that the repaired Hongdu City was stronger.

Seven days later, Chen Youliang launched another attack on Hongdu.

"Woo... Woo...?" A rapid sound of horns sounded, and Xiao Yun, who had just fallen asleep, jumped up from the bed with a tremor. The battle these days has prevented him from sleeping well. He has been busy building fortifications, opening up trenches, organizing soldiers to train the mandarin duck formations, and almost didn't sleep well. It was not until this morning that he had been busy with all this and took off his armor and went to bed for a while.

Deng Yu, who was lying beside him, jumped up and looked at Xiao Yun and said, "Brother, isn't it that Chen Youliang is here to attack the city?"

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Listen to the sound of the horn, it is rapid and rhythmic, and is faintly accompanied by the sound of horse hooves. Most of the time, Chen Youliang's army is coming again?"

"Go and take a look!" Deng Yu grabbed his clothes and ran out while wearing them.

Xiao Yun hurriedly followed and left the tent, but heard shouts of killing everywhere. The city gates of Fuzhou were already full of soldiers, and everyone was running on the city wall. The wood and rocks were raised one by one by one. They were knocked down the city tower while shouting. The ladders were crazily raised, and they were cut off by the soldiers walking back and forth, pushing down. The screams and screams quickly spread across Hongdu City. Feather arrows were flying all over the sky. Many soldiers even threw the burning hot oil pan to the bottom of the city, and heard a terrible cry, and then lifted them back to the oil pan, and continued to add oil and water to burn.

Although the oil pan takes time, this weapon is the most lethal to the Han army under the city. Just touch it a little, it is enough to cry and howl, and the power of siege is immediately weakened a lot. The two of them didn't expect that you were just at the stage where you closed your eyes. The Han army had already siege for most of the time. No one commanded the soldiers in the city, and no one conveyed the orders. But everyone was guarding every place in the city, silently holding the weapons that had been prepared in their hands, killing one enemy after another. The shouts under the city were all silent, and every soldier was calm.

Deng Yuhe Xiao Yun looked at each other. While they felt relieved, they felt a little ashamed. They hurried to the city gate. As soon as they arrived at the edge of the city, they heard a shout: "Mr. Xiao, Lord Deng, be careful..." Before the word "care" was spoken, two sharp swords flew over in front of the two of them. They heard "Du, Du" two times, followed by two screams, and shot into the chests of the two soldiers behind them, and died in the end. Xiao Yun was shocked and sweat beads were all over and thought to himself: "Damn, it seems that Chen Youliang has increased his offensive again?"

After a little calming down, he rolled on the spot and rolled to the front of the city gate. He hid behind a battlement in the city wall and looked down with his eyes squinted. He almost screamed out when he saw hundreds of thousands of soldiers under the city gate, and everyone tied the shuttle between his waist and holding a big knife. Under Chen Youliang's personal command, he ordered the flag officer to shuttle back and forth. Hundreds of thousands of Han troops were attacking the new city gate.

The siege wood made a roar and hit the new city gate one by one. Hongdu City, several feet tall, was trembling slightly under the impact of the siege wood. Xiao Yun, who was hiding behind the battlements of the city wall, obviously felt the trembling of the city wall.

What surprised him even more was that under the city wall several feet high, countless Han soldiers shouted and shot into the city wall desperately with the ladders in the clouds, shuttles, and hooks, without following the shuttles in the clouds, and climbing upwards without any life or death. The ladders in the clouds and hooks were climbing up. A large number of powerful crossbow shooters behind him, and everyone was wearing bright armor, with shields in front of them to block them, covering their rounds of shooting and waves of attacks, and they were not for life or death.

The guard of the new city gate was Xue Xian. What was surprising was that he did not let the two thousand soldiers in the city defend the battle, but stood on the city tower and looked silently at the Han army down the city tower, waiting silently. The two thousand soldiers on the city tower were all covered in silver armor, everyone held a single sword in their hands, and everyone had a quiver behind them.

"Boom! Boom!"

Under the city gate, the sound of siege wood hitting the gate came in like thunder.

"Report... Report... Report to Your Majesty... Ask Your Majesty to Hong Fu, our soldiers have already attacked the gate of the new city and are now breaking through the gate of the city... "The news of a young general siege every moment of the city is passed on to the big tent of the hill.

"Okay... OK! After capturing the new city gate, the Hongdu City was flattened in one fell swoop!" Chen Youliang, who was wearing a dragon robe, looked happily. He walked out of the tent and narrowed his eyes for a while. He saw that everyone in the Han army was not afraid of life and death, and rushed to the city tower. However, Zhu army on the city tower had no resistance.

"Okay... OK... The new city gate is indeed going to be captured... OK..." After a while of praise, Chen Youliang laughed at the sky and said in a deep voice: "Send the order and let the soldiers use the Lu Bus to climb the city tower!"

"yes!"

Lu Gongche is a giant siege chariot invented by Jiang Shang, and it is also the largest chariot in the world. The chariot is several meters high and dozens of meters long. The chariot is divided into five layers. Each floor has a ladder for up and down. The chariot can carry hundreds of warriors, equipped with organic crossbows, poison arrows, guns, halberds, swords, spears and other weapons, and equipment to destroy the city wall facilities. During the attack, everyone pushed the car to the foot of the city, and the roof of the car could be as good as the city wall. The soldiers rushed to the city through the overpass to fight with the enemy. Under the car's under the car, they used tools such as crashing wood to destroy the city wall. However, due to the complex disassembly and difficult to move, they were rarely used in fierce battles. Chen Youliang, considering the sturdy city of Hongdu, ordered people to build many such giant siege chariots after dozens of days of rest.

"Haha...No need now, when will I wait?"

Like a boat, about 50 meters high, with heavy buildings, cattle and leather covering the left and right, and boards like flat ground. A large number of Lu Gongbus were built by thousands of Han troops. Thousands of Han troops, everyone was wearing their hair and swords, and climbing the city tower with the Lu Gongbus.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Under the city gate, the sound of the Han army hitting the gate spreading to the city tower like thunder. Every time it hit, the Han army shouts under the city gate became louder!

"It's open...it's open...it's city gate opened..." Amid a burst of cheers, the Han army finally broke open the new city gate.

The thunderous cheers made Xiao Yun's heart sink when he heard the cat behind the battlements of the city wall. He gritted his teeth and rolled on the spot. He avoided the arrows and rushed to the new city gate. He stepped forward and jumped over a dead body. He ran to the big tent. He was about to shout, but he saw Xue Xian wearing military uniform and murderous face.

He glanced coldly, walked to the new city gate without saying a word in the arrow, pulled out the Park Knife from his waist, and shouted at the door with one sword, "Brothers, don't be afraid of death and fight with me! Let the Han army also see the power of our New City Gate soldiers!"

"Get out... go out..." a tragic cry.

Two thousand soldiers followed Xue Xian and rushed down the city gate.

The new city gate made an ancient "bang" sound and was completely opened.

"The city gate is open... the city gate is open... hurry up... go and report to the emperor..." Huang Shiren, who was responsible for using the siege wood to break the door under the new city gate, was so happy that he couldn't speak. Whoever broke through the city gate would be the Grand Governor of Hongdu. This credit unexpectedly fell into his hands. It was really God's eyes open, God's eyes open?

"Kill me..." The city gate was opened, and Xue Xian took the lead. With a big machete in his hand, he slashed at Huang Shiren who was standing in front of the city gate. Huang Shiren deserved to be unlucky. This knife was not surprising and slashed on Huang Shiren's head. Most of his head was cut off, and he fell to the ground and died!

Two thousand soldiers whistled, followed by a gust of wind behind Xue Xian. Among the two thousand men, most of them were cavalry, and everyone was skilled in bows and horses. Each of them had a big knife and a long spear, and rushed left and right. As the shouts were a sword light, scarlet blood spilled into the air, and the smell of blood spread under the city gate. Hundreds of great Han soldiers' heads were rumbling and rumbling, and I don't know where to roll.

After a rush, the new city gate was in danger. These Han troops were originally responsible for using the siege wood to attack the city gate. Their mission was to constantly use the siege wood to hit the new city gate, and to force a gap to break out of the new city gate so that the Han army behind could rush in and capture the Hongdu city in one fell swoop. This task can be said to be extremely important. Making a contribution is at this moment, so everyone is extremely desperate.

Since receiving the order, under the command of Huang Shiren, the Han army used the siege trees that were embraced by the two of them to violently hit the new city gate. They worked very hard and broke the city gate, which was a good achievement and military achievements. Therefore, the strong new city gate quickly revealed a crack under their violent impact. Seeing that the force was added, it was almost certain to break through the new city gate. Since they saw in advance that the defenders in the city gate did not do anything to fight back, they also said that the defenders in the city were almost wiped out, and they would never dare to make any resistance under this momentum, so they were a little careless.

At this moment, after the last wave of impact, the city gate was opened. In addition to the surprise of these Han soldiers, they did not expect that the defenders of Hongdu City would dare to rush out, and as the commander, they actually went out of the city to kill the enemy. This was unexpected.

They were shocked for a moment until the two thousand soldiers in the city rushed to the front, raised their shaky swords, and the dazzling sword light rushed up, hundreds of big heads made a gurgling sound, and when they rolled to the ground, they realized that the enemy had left the city.

First, he was unprepared, and second, Xue showed his surprise and ran away from his horse. The sword light shone too quickly. For a moment, hundreds of Han soldiers had no time to resist. The cold-blooded Park Dao swung to his chest. With a sudden force, the sword light emitted a dazzling light, and several blood stains rushed straight into the sky, dyeing the clear sky red.

Xiao Yun at the city gate looked at this scene in surprise. Although he knew that Xue Xian had always been famous for his boldness in Hongdu, he did not expect that he was really brave. He was surprised to find that he was unprepared and killed thousands of people in a moment, only making Xiao Yun's eyes straight. Seeing that he had the intention of leading the cavalry to rush out, he was shocked. He just unexpectedly and attacked him unpreparedly. In addition, he was a cavalry, so he had such an effect. After all, the Han army was not made of tofu, otherwise Chen Youliang would not have taken a piece of tofu to capture Anqing, Caishi, Chizhou, and Taiping with a piece of tofu, and once led a large army to Jinling City. Just talking about this ability shows the strength of the Han army.

Besides, there are not many people in Hongdu City. If these two thousand soldiers were good or bad, the new city gate would be in danger. If Chen Youliang came and attacked the new city gate, he would no longer have to worry about the scattered arrows flying all over the sky. He barely rushed to the new city gate and shouted loudly to Xue Xian, who was fighting under the city gate: "General Xue, come back quickly!"

Xue Xianzheng was so angry that he killed a Han army. He slashed the head of a Han army with one knife, turned the big sword in his hand one after another, and laughed and said, "It hurts, it hurts... It's been a long time since I've been killing so happily... Brothers, the Han army is not worth worrying, let me fight out! Let the dog-good Han army see how powerful we are!"

On the city tower, Xiao Yun felt anxious and shouted several times. Unfortunately, under the city gate, there were shouts, shouts of killing, weapons, screams, and war horses mixed together. Although Xiao Yun's voice was loud, he was quickly drowned in the crowd and could no longer hear any more.

Seeing Xue Xian lifting the reins of the horse and rushing out, this rush would inevitably lead to a return without returning. Xiao Yun was very anxious and didn't know what to do. At this moment, a shuttle flew past the air, and the Han army under the city tower was using the shuttle to climb up desperately.

"Yes, why did I forget it?" Xiao Yun was delighted. The moon-killing knife flashed and killed two Han soldiers who were siegeing. He flipped his body, and with the help of a shuttle, he jumped and jumped down the city wall several feet high.

He was born as a special forces soldier. In this era, no one is more skilled in the mastery of the shuttle. He saw his body leaning on the city wall and walking with his feet, as if he was flat. He was less than ten feet tall from the city gate. His body jumped, and the shuttle formed a graceful arc in the air. Then this force, Xiao Yun leaped and knocked over a Han army, jumped onto the horse's back, lifted the reins, and ran to Xue Xian. He waved the moon knife and slashed out a shocking geese, barely killing two brave Han soldiers.

"Good sword technique..." Seeing that it was Xiao Yun, Xue Xian laughed to the sky, praised her, and her eyes showed an envious look.

Xiao Yun was too lazy to answer, and when he lifted the reins and waved his sword, he shouted at the thousands of soldiers behind him: "Brothers, your duty is to defend the city. The city is there, and the city is dead. Now is not the time to show the courage of every man, come back to the city quickly!"

Xue Xian was anxious when he heard this. The Han army was just like this. Now it was time to take the opportunity to fight and let him go back to the city. How could he be willing to do so? He hurriedly held the reins of the horse and said, "Sir..."

Xiao Yun glared at him angrily and said coldly: "The Han army has tens of thousands. If Lord Xue rushed out and was besieged by the Han army at this moment, even though Lord Xue is brave, two thousand soldiers are besieged outside the city. How dare you ask Lord Xue, who is guarding the new city gate?"

Although Xue Xian was reckless, he still heard Xiao Yun and was shocked. He waved his sword and killed a big Han army. Then he pulled the reins of the horse and turned his head to the two thousand soldiers behind him and said, "What Lord Xiao said is, everyone should go back to the city quickly!"

The two hurriedly turned their horses and fought back. In the scene just now, the Han army, who had been lucky enough to escape the battle, dared not resist it. With the wave of Xiao Yun and Xue Xian's swords, they retreated one after another. After Xiao Yun reminded him, Xue Xian had already left the fighting spirit. He raised the reins of the horse and rushed towards the city gate. He no longer paid attention to the brave Han army, swung the sword and opened a bloody road, and led the two thousand soldiers behind him to rush back to the city gate.

At this time, Chen Youliang, who had received good news, was escorting his personal guards and was rushing towards the new city gate. Seeing a cavalry among the tens of thousands of Han soldiers, he suddenly realized that it was the guardian of the new city gate. He was overjoyed and urgently ordered an attack and killing.

Many soldiers of the Han army had long hated the Hongdu soldiers. After hearing the order, everyone was chasing them crazily. Xue Xian and Xiao Yun turned their horses and shouted at the city gate: "Open the city gate quickly?"

With a "boom", the city gate was opened. Xue Xian turned his horse's head and used a backhand to kill a Han army chasing him to the ground. He just pulled the reins of the horse and slapped hard on the back of the horse with one sword and rushed towards the city gate.

The soldiers at the city gate had been waiting in front of the city gate, with rocks, strong crossbows, wood, and tincture oil waiting one by one. When they saw the two thousand men led by Xiao Yun rushed into the gate, they smashed all the weapons in their hands down the city tower.

The Han army pursued the city gate relentlessly, and chased them to the city gate. They smashed the generals like rocks, crossbows, wood, and tinder oil. These Han army followed the order and chased them hard, without any shields. Without protection, they screamed in pain under the crazy attack of the soldiers on the city wall. After a moment, they were injured by the soldiers on the city tower and killed many.

Seeing this, many soldiers retreated one after another and never dared to take a step forward. Xue Xian was quite loyal. When the city gate opened, he saw the enemy swarming up, fearing that any of the soldiers at the city gate could not be defended. The enemy broke into the gate. He immediately carried a big knife and walked around outside the city. Seeing the Han army rushing up, he slashed with a knife. His martial arts skills were already extremely high. With the big knife, he also killed more than a dozen Han soldiers. Seeing Xiao Yun leading two thousand men into the city gate, he turned his head and waved his sword. He took advantage of the moment when the city gate closed, he lifted the reins and sat down the war horse, neighed, and took advantage of the neighing to move his limbs and hooves slightly, and rushed to the city gate just right! The city gate was closed again with a loud bang.

When the Han army, who was chasing him, saw that the city gate was closed again with a loud bang, everyone sighed in their hearts. The sigh was loud, and even Xiao Yun and Xue Xian could hear it clearly on the top of the city.

Xue Xian laughed loudly and said to the Han army downstairs: "The Hongdu City is sturdy and unbreakable. Do you want to destroy the Hongdu City Gate for the next life?"

Since the war started in April, more than a month, dozens of gates in Hongdu City attacked the border, but the 600,000 troops failed to open a gate. These Han soldiers were a little afraid. After hearing what Xue Xian said, everyone was shocked. Looking at the closed gate, everyone couldn't help but say, "Can Hong not be able to capture it?"

Because Xiao Yun was well-organized and everyone fought on the city wall, the city gate that had been opened was closed again, and the Han army failed to attack the city for several days. Seeing this situation, everyone was depressed, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit and retreated one after another.

Xue Xian and Xiao Yun stood on the top of the city. Seeing that although the Han army retreated, the rear team changed to the front team and the front team changed to the back team. The formation changed continuously and slowly retreated to the north camp. The soldiers on the city wall did not dare to relax at all. The weapons in their hands were clenched, ready to face another wave of attack from the enemy at any time. amp;#160; After this battle, it was approaching dusk. This battle lasted for twelve hours, and the dead bodies were piled up under the city gate. Broken guns, dead horses, flying shuttles, and Lu Gong Bus stretched for dozens of miles.

It was not until the night that Xiao Yun and others breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed. At this moment, a sudden burst of footsteps came, and a group of people came from the crowd. Xiao Yun turned his head and looked, but saw the leader, wearing white clothes, with a cold face, and a pair of sinister eyes shone with a strong light. He walked over quickly, followed by Deng Yu, Zhou Hongbo, Mao Xiang and a group of personal guards hurriedly following behind him. When Xue Xian saw the visitor, his face looked a little ugly, but he still met him and whispered: "Grandmaster, you..."

The person who came was not someone else, but Zhu Wenzheng, the Grand Marshal of the Army and the Grand Marshal of the Army. At dawn today, he stood on the top of the city and saw clearly. If it weren't for Chen Youliang taking the opportunity to attack the Fuzhou Gate, he would have led his troops to the morning. Seeing that the Han army had completely withdrawn, he had just led a group of troops to the new city gate.

Hearing Xue Xian clasped his fists and saluted, Zhu Wenzheng snorted coldly, glanced at Xue Xian's face coldly, and said, "Can you kill it today?"

Xue Xian was slightly stunned, glanced at Xiao Yun, hesitated for a while, nodded, and said, "Have fun..."

After a while of silence, Zhu Wenzheng suddenly heard it angrily: "Your fucking stupid, stupid, you just don't know what's the matter^?"

Everyone was stunned, and Xue Xian was also stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect that Zhu Wenzheng, who seemed to be gentle, would even curse people, and all scolded vulgar words. He looked at Zhu Wenzheng in surprise.

Zhu Wenzheng's pale face turned red and his forehead was leaping blue veins. This time he was really angry. He could see clearly what Xue Xian did on the court. How to rush out of the city gate and how Xiao Yun persuaded him not to return, all fell into his eyes. In his opinion, the Hongdu War was nothing more than using the solid city wall to consume Chen Youliang's 600,000 troops. Once the war was dragged into a deadlock, it was victory. This victory must ensure the solidity of the Hongdu wall. The city gate was closed. Once a city gate was broken, the 600,000 troops that flocked to it would immediately take down Hongdu City. Everything that had done before, including the lives of 20,000 soldiers in the city, would probably be difficult to survive. How could he not be angry and not be angry?

Zhu Wenzheng stared at Xue Xian and shouted loudly: "As the head coach of the city guarding the city, his primary responsibility is to ensure that the city gate cannot be lost. Today, the general personally led two thousand soldiers and horses to rush out of the city, regardless of the enemy's number and our few, and presented the courage of ordinary men. If Lord Xiao had not arrived in time and prevented the general from rushing into the enemy's army, the current new city gate would have long been broken by the Han army!

As a general, what he wants is not a soldier and a city, but a coordinated situation to achieve great things! In the battle of Hongdu, he was determined to defend the city. What he wanted was not Xiang Yu, who was brave but had no strategy and was only brave, but Zhang Xun, who defended the world, fought with thousands of soldiers, blocked the Yangtze River and Huai River, and suppressed his power?"

Although Xue Xian was not convinced by discipline, he was convinced by Zhu Wenzheng's scolding. He muttered a few times but did not dare to say anything.

Seeing that Xue Xian was much older than Zhu Wenzheng, and the two of them had different levels in their official positions, although they had similar status. At this time, Zhu Wenzheng pointed at his nose and scolded him, but he didn't say a trick. He admired his attitude of admitting his mistakes. He smiled and said, "General Xue was just worried that the city gate would be broken, and he was bold and bold. I believe that after this incident, he would understand the importance of Hongdu City to all the soldiers, lords, and Jinling, and I dare not have another next time!"

Xue Xian is also a master who changes his ruthlessness. He hears Xiao Yun's words, so he doesn't understand. He quickly said, "Master, please rest assured. The general must guard the new city gate to the death. He will never dare to recklessly ignore Hong, and ignore the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers!"

Zhu Wenzheng cursed for a while, and saw Xiao Yun's gangster, snorted coldly, turned around, clasped his fists at the thousands of soldiers on the city gate, and said, "You are willing to sacrifice yourself for the battle of Hongdu. In the past month, the Han army has not captured a city gate. You are willing to sacrifice yourself for death. Zhu remembers it in his heart and is deeply grateful. However, Chen Youliang's 600,000 troops will definitely be in a position to win Hongdu. There will be a large number of troops coming. The responsibility of inspecting the city gate is for you to be proud of!"

Xiao Yun looked at Zhu Wenzheng who bowed and bowed, and felt a little emotional. This eccentric and misbehaved Zhu family's young master was a slutty child who was scolded by everyone before this. After only one month, the whole city, whether it was a former veteran or a group of new recruits, no longer had the responsibility for his slutty behavior. Instead, he felt a sense of trust in him. The feeling clearly told Xiao Yun that if he was there in Hongdu City, he would be able to defend it!

On the top of the city, Zhu Wenzheng said: "Now the enemy has just retreated initially and the attack will come soon. Now many soldiers in the city have begun to panic. General Deng, you immediately lead a thousand soldiers and horses under your command, quickly patrol the city, pay close attention to the movements of the enemy. Once there is news, organize troops to defend the city immediately!"

"The last general will take the order!" Deng Yu held his fists from behind to respond.

Zhu Wenzheng glanced at him again and said, "Xue Xian obeyed the order!"

Xue Xian hurriedly said, "The last one is here!"

Zhu Wenzheng said: "You immediately organize troops to rush into the city gate and repair the city defense fortifications. Anyone who is close to the city gate, whether it is the enemy or us, will be killed immediately!"

Xue Xian said: "Yes, the official obeys the order!" He turned around and hurried out to the outside of the city tower.

Zhu Wenzheng's eyes swept, and finally fell on Xiao Yun's face. He pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Xiao, quickly lead the guards to various water gates in Hongdu, and let the soldiers roll wood, beat stones, tung oil, lime, strong crossbows, and feather arrows to various city gates in the waterway."

Xiao Yun was surprised and said, "Master General said that Chen Youliang's next attack will attack from the waterway?"

Zhu Wenzheng turned around and looked at the Han army camp several feet outside the city gate. Under the night, people came and went on the Han army dragon boats, rushing cars and horses, and tens of thousands of torches quickly illuminated the entire camp like the daytime, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and heads surging, which made people feel chill when they saw it.

"Chen Youliang will definitely seize Hongdu when he comes. Now he has more than a month of siege, and countless casualties are killed and injured. The eight gates of Hongdu City Fuzhou, Gongbu, Tubu, Qiaobu, Zhangjiang, Xincheng, Liuli, and Dantai were attacked by him, but the waterways are left without any movement. This time I am afraid...?"

Seeing that his face was heavy, Xiao Yun knew that he was worried, and hurriedly comforted him: "The general doesn't have to worry too much. The construction of the waterway is extremely hidden, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is not so easy for Chen Youliang's army to attack in!"
To be continued...
