Chapter 29: Meng Ben's Rebirth
Why did street fighting rarely fight in ancient wars? Even if you have absolute advantages, you will definitely make annihilation because of three missing one instead of choosing to annihilate?
In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, street fighting is too cruel.
When close forces are connected, the troops of both sides are crowded in the streets and alleys, and the distance to avoid them is limited. If you are not careful, you will be hit by the local area. Whether the soldiers can survive depends entirely on luck. When one of them kills the other, no matter whether they chop the axe, their own flaws will be exposed. It is impossible for the enemy to notice such hatred. Therefore, often this situation will die if you die. If you kill him, others will kill you, and the person will eventually be killed.
In ancient times, it was very costly to cultivate an army of hundreds of battles. Once there was any damage and insufficient supplementation, the situation faced was likely to be completely reversed. The people in power could not afford to lose at this time, so they would rather abandon the city and fight the enemy in the wilderness than engage in street battles. After all, using superior forces to attack the opponent in the wilderness with two or three more troops and then use cavalry to attack the army formation. Why not fight this one-for-one endgame in street battles in the city?
But in this street battle, Yang Tong must fight. He wants to take down the entire Luoyang City before Wang Shichong comes back, and then use the city defense to obtain buffer time, so he must face the cruelty at this time. But how can he fight this battle to obtain the greatest result at the lowest cost?
First of all, the condition is that the other party used a killing weapon such as a crossbow in the armory; secondly, the other party had complete arms, complete bows and crossbows, and countless arrows; finally, Yang Gongqing had Bing Yuanzhen's support at any time, and could cut off Yang Tong's military division and eat. This is the most secure strategy of Zheng Gonggong's Mansion. With such a strategy, it can at least ensure that Wang Xuan and Wang Dao's peace of mind before Wang Shichong comes back. Even Luo Shixin would do this in his position at Bing Yuanzhen. Then, Yang Tong was completely aware of the opponent's tactical methods.
Next, it is how to deal with the problem.
He had 10,000 people, and the other party had 20,000 people to guard the Zheng Gong Mansion in four directions. If there were still people guarding the mansion, the number of troops in each place should be between three and four thousand. Among them, someone had to control the crossbow and act as the crossbowman, and there were only about three thousand people left. After making the most basic judgment, Yang Tong increased the opponent's strength to the level. Assuming that the opponent's hand in each place was 4,000 and the reinforcement time was half a quarter of an hour, then he just used himself as bait to attract the attention of the enemy's army and sent someone to hold the crossbowman's den, and this battle would be fought in a short time.
Who risked his life to get rid of these crossbows and crossbowmen?
Luo Shixin stood up at this moment, and then Pei Xingyan's hundred pieces led him to stand out one after another, and a team of two thousand people had already taken shape. Now, the team was holding the weeds on the river bank by the Luo River, and the people were holding short swords to hide their bodies in the water. Even as the water surged, two people were washed away by the river. Both of them bit the dagger and did not make a sound.
Luo Shixin in the water continued to move forward, and the river bank was full of the sound of crossbows falling on wooden boards and the screams of the gate guards. He had to be fast, with only five thousand men around His Majesty, and his movements were slow, and he would cause casualties in batches...
Slap.
When Luo Shixin felt that the person behind him was patting his shoulder, their troops had already appeared under the restaurant built by Luoshui.
It was getting cloudier, and it was like dusk during the day. Luo Shixin pulled out of the water like a cat, holding the short knife in his hand and letting the water drops ticke on the wet clothes.
The soldiers of the gatekeepers all came out of the water. They used the embankment to run towards the back door of the restaurant and came to the door. Luo Shixin raised his foot and kicked directly towards the closed door. With a huge force, the door opened and touched!
As soon as the door opened, everyone was stunned, whether inside or outside the house.
The people inside the house were attracted by the situation in front of him and were observing with concentration. The people outside the house did not expect that the downstairs of the restaurant were filled with prefabricated troops, and there were so many people that there was nowhere to step on their feet.
It is certain that he will send someone to guard the crossbowman. Yang Gongqing would not be so stupid as to put the crossbowman in an open position waiting for you to attack. If the people in this room were not attracted by the previous conversation between Yang Tong and Yang Gongqing, they asked, "Is that really the emperor of the dynasty in the battle formation?" Someone else answered, "It's him. Last time, when I and the Taiwei and I rushed into the palace, I saw him trembling under the sword of the Taiwei." Then, I relaxed my vigilance.
"ah!!!!"
Luo Shixin shouted and stabbed the sharp blade in his hand into the neck of a prepared mansion army. The soldier should have been guarding the river. If there was no such thing as a discussion in the house, he was also guarding the river. But as soon as the topic was talked about, the whole layer of eyes was attracted, which gave Luo Shixin a chance. Emperor, these two words are always the most attractive words at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Whether it is Emperor Li Tang or Emperor Dou Xia, these two words are like dreams and fantasy for ordinary people.
After stabbing this person with one blow, Pei Xingyan's troops behind Luo Shixin knew that it was time to fight desperately, so they rushed over and hugged the four prefecture soldiers and fell to the ground together. The prefecture soldiers holding spears in the house did not treat him as human beings. They raised swords and guns and sounded iron tools into flesh. In the blink of an eye, the two people under him were stuck into plugs.
"Second uncle!"
The nephew who should have been with the uncle and nephew couldn't stand it when he saw his uncle die tragically. He held a sharp knife and pressed a reserved mansion army on his shoulder and poked it into his stomach, yelling, "Come on! I'll kill one enough, kill two people to earn one!!!"
Before Luo Shixin rushed in, he could smell the strong smell of blood. The blood on the surface seemed to be flowing continuously by the expanded territory of the emperor. When he encountered dust, he quickly swallowed it, as if nothing could stop them.
"kill!!!"
Luo Shixin stared at his eyes and shouted. Meng Ben, who was the bravest army under Zhang Xutuo, came back. He jumped high and crossed the threshold. He hit the ground and stabbed him with a spear. Luo Shixin grabbed the spear with one hand and pushed it to his side. He stepped to his side and stabbed the dagger upwards. The strong man who was more than two of him was more than he had been pierced through his jaw and was pierced out. He made a sound of "cough, cough, cough" from his mouth. He couldn't even shout out and fell into a pool of blood.
“Get the stairs!”
With a command, some of the brothers behind him fought with Luo Shixin with the soldiers in the restaurant; some turned around and ran to the stairs, regardless of their own life or death, grabbed the dagger in the hands of the enemy in front of him and greeted him on his neck, chest and abdomen. Of course, they had no good results. Who could not watch their own people be slaughtered and not fight back. In a while, the stairs were already piled with corpses. If you want to go up, you have to cross the pile of corpses to rush up.
"Stop them, don't let these bastards go upstairs..."
The 200th Crown commander was commanding. Before he could finish his words, Luo Shixin threw the short blade out. The tip of the short knife rushed forward and inserted it into his cheek along the open mouth of the 200th Crown, and it was stuck in his mouth. The guy turned his head in pain for a second. Luo Shixin was startled. He was still stuck in his head. When he turned his head completely, he realized that it was just his cheek pierced. Luo Shixin picked up the spear in the hand of the dead body and stabbed it directly. He didn't even care if someone was slapped on his arm. He stabbed the man into his abdomen and then nailed the man to the pillar before he let go of his hands to cover his arms while turning back.
Luo Shixin's bravery shook everyone. He was not the type of Yang Gongqing who was able to snatch a living person over his head and throw it out. But the word "ruthless" was enough to express why Luo Shixin was able to make his name, because he had no living words in his hands.
The man who was targeted by Luo Shixin was retreating, even though there were several prepared mansion troops standing beside him.
As for this, Luo Shixin was already catching anything beside him. He picked up the bench that landed by the wall and turned back. When a person passed by was raising a knife to chop his brother, he swung the bench and directly slapped the bench on the other party's head without turning. The bench was broken and the murderer fell down weakly. However, Luo Shixin kept staring at the man who had chopped him in front of him and walked over, holding half of the bench in his hand and swung his chin again...
Bang.
Another crisp sound, the man fell down. Luo Shixin rode on him, regardless of whether there were anyone around him, and raised the bench and smashed it to death.
Once, again, again, again.
The guy's chin was smashed, and Luo Shixin didn't stop. The bench in Luo Shixin's hand was smashed, so he simply pulled off the helmet of the dead body next to him and continued... until the plasma splattered his face.
When a prepared mansion army beside Luo Shixin was trembling and trying to get close to the sneak attack, suddenly, Luo Shixin turned around and stared at the face of plasma, the smelly aura was spread throughout the room. He was scared and shook. He looked at Luo Shixin reaching out to wipe the blood from the corner of his eyes and turning into a big flowery face, and he didn't dare to go forward at all.
"Take the second floor down as soon as possible, and those who violate the order will be killed!"
Luo Shixin stood up on the dead man, picked up a knife and slashed at the trembling neck of the mansion army, put it down and walked towards the others. On the battlefield, Luo Shixin never showed mercy to anyone, because the first thing Zhang Xutuo taught him was, "As a military force, mercy on the enemy is cruelty to himself."
Bang.
A bowstring sounded, and the army of the guard on the second floor rolled down. How could it be that the downstairs were so lively that the building was not known? At this moment, someone had already pointed the crossbow at the entrance of the stairs, and even someone shouted at the window: "General Yang, the crossbowman was attacked by the enemy, come quickly to help!"
