Chapter 267 The First Offensive of the Jibei Army (III)

The sandbags pushed down from the city gate were blocked in front of the city gate like a hill, blocking the originally dilapidated city gate of Sucheng. In fact, the most effective and ruthless way to defend the city is to seal the four gates from the city, so that the enemy cannot attack through the city gate and their own people will rest and go out. The Great Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, and this was how the Goguryeo people in Liaodong City did. Block the entire city gate hole with mud bricks and stones. In this era without gunpowder explosion, this way of defending the siege would make the siege feel powerless despair.

When Xiong Kuohai ordered the sandbag to be pushed down, Wang Bo's general Peng Zhen immediately showed anger that could not be suppressed. This anger made him feel that his heart was about to explode, and his face immediately became ferocious.

Few people would think of blocking the city gate from outside in this way to deal with the city hammer. This is not an absolute blocking of the city gate. As long as the enemy is willing to pay a tragic price to clean up all the sandbags outside the city gate, as long as the enemy, both generals and soldiers, have a spirit of sacrificing their lives, then breaking the city gate is only a matter of time.

However, it is obvious that the strong attack of more than an hour has caused the Jibei army to lose its initial aura and fearlessness. As Li Xian said, the reason why Wang Bo's men were so brave was simply because they felt that breaking Sucheng was just a simple matter. As long as the city gate was broken, the money, food and women in the city were their spoils. They had 150,000 people, and even so many people were not stuffed into Sucheng. How could a small city block the impact of 150,000 people? What's more, they did not lack siege equipment this time. As long as they rush to the city, how many times could the broken city gate withstand a disrepair?

But this morale is not lasting. When they paid a terrible price before they saw the hope of the city, the fragility and cowardice in their hearts emerged. Even though Peng Zhen shouted and urged and ordered loudly, no one of the soldiers of the Jibei Army rushed forward as they had just now.

The ladder on the city wall was pushed away by the defenders of Yanyun Village with a hook or poured down with boiling vegetable oil and then ignited. Only a few people climbed up to the city gate with their knives, but they were soon chopped into meat paste by the defenders of Yanyun Village on the city wall like chopping melons and vegetables.

Xu Shiji looked at Xiong Kuohai with admiration, and was slightly shocked.

He didn't expect that this man who looked rough and heroic had such careful thoughts and such good patience. He thought that a man like Xiong Kuohai was definitely a first-class general to charge on the battlefield, and a tiger general who could tear the enemy's army by his own strength, but he didn't expect that this man who was taller than him could have such a way to defend the city.

He praised Xiong Kuohai's ability, and even more so, Li Xian's indifference.

Since the Jibei Army began the attack, Li Xian never said anything except the words of Xiong Kuohai's greetings - how are you, mother. He did not say much or participate in the command of the defenders on the city wall, and even did not get close to Xiong Kuohai. He just stood by the city gate tower, quietly and calmly watching his subordinates suppress the enemy's attacks one after another.

This is an attitude of absolute trust in the subordinates.

Xu Shiji was shocked by this attitude.

Xu Shiji knew a truth well. The more people who understand war, the more they feel that they are right. The more famous generals are, the more they are used to pointing fingers against their subordinates. They feel that they are the masters of the battlefield, and any order must come from their mouths, and any soldier must obey their will. The more famous generals are, the more conceited they are, the more they restrain their subordinates. Because they all feel that only under their command can the victory of the war be achieved.

Li Xian, the person whose pseudonym Yan Yun shines in Liaodong, the man who was defeated by the Green Forest Road master Zhang Jin, the man who won the entire Dongping County in just over a month, is still a person who absolutely trusts his subordinates even though he knows that he is facing the threat of Wagang Village.

Is this the right way to hire people?

Xu Shiji took a deep breath and carefully looked at the handsome young man standing with his hands behind his back.

Xu Shiji was conceited. Although their Xu family was not a family, they were also a prominent family in the local area. Since childhood, his father spent a lot of money to hire various teachers to teach him, whether it was etiquette, culture, martial arts or military tactics. He was a jealous person who could fully master everything he learned and then undoubtedly became his descendants. Those who taught him eventually became defeated men.

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

But what he couldn't understand was how Li Xian could even admire him?

How did his teenager spend it?

While Li Xian was smiling and watching Xiong Kuohai commanding the city, when Xu Shiji frowned slightly and pondered Li Xian, Peng Zhen outside the city was so angry that he waved his knife to kill three or four Jibei soldiers who were retreating. The Jibei soldiers who were silted under the city wall could not attack the city wall, but had to face the endless shooting of the defenders on the city wall. I don’t know who called to retreat first, and then the Jibei soldiers began to retreat like a tide.

"Those who retreat will kill!"

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

...

...

"Peng Zhen, if you are tired, come down and take a break. How can brothers watch you crying with hoarse voice and helplessly? Otherwise, brothers will change you?"

When Peng Zhen couldn't stop his subordinates from retreating and had to return to Wang Bo to apologize, Qiu Ji, the fifth leader beside Wang Bo, said with a smile. Although his tone was gentle and gentle, it was like an elder caring for his younger generation, but it sounded like an insult in Peng Zhen's ears.

In fact, Chuji is by no means kind-hearted.

Sure enough, Peng Zhen said with a cold face: "No need to worry about fifth brother, let my soldiers come down and rest for a while. I promise that I will definitely take Sucheng in the next attack!"

Chuji chuckled and said, "Peng Zhen, this cow is not a casual brag."

"Who is bragging!"

Peng Zhen said angrily: "When the soldiers rest for a while and recover their physical strength, I will definitely break through the Sucheng City! The boss handed over the task of siege to me, so I won't worry about the fifth brother!"

Chuji sneered: "You can break if you can break? I saw someone's team collapsed!"

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

"There is no joke in the army."

Chuji sneered and said as she looked at Peng Zhen.

"I am willing to issue a military order! I can't take the Sucheng master and chopped 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. He promoted Peng Zhen, and the old people who rebelled with him were a little disgusted with it. How could they bear it if a young man like Peng Zhen was on an equal footing with them? But although Wang Bo had long seen that Qiu Ji was deliberately trying to provoke Peng Zhen, he still did not stop it. Because he needed Peng Zhen to have such morale and murderous aura. Wang Bo didn't care about military orders and other matters. If he didn't nod, who could force Peng Zhen to death?

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

"If you are really tired, take a break and I'll 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, "The boss gave me another chance, and I will be in the city with blood!"

Wang Bo nodded and said, "Okay, young people need to have this kind of aura. If I can capture Sucheng in one attack, I look down on Yanyun Village even more. After all, I am a person who can defeat Zhang Jincheng, so I will naturally not admit defeat easily. But you don't need to be too impatient. Can I lead a 150,000 army to come and be blocked by a small Sucheng?"

He patted Peng Zhen on the shoulder and smiled, "Stay a break, I will send you five hundred personal soldiers later."

"The boss is generous!"

The third leader Luo Laizi smiled and said, "I have never seen the boss send his personal soldiers to others. Pengzhen, if you can't take Sucheng again, how can you be worthy of the boss' trust? Anyway, if it were me, I would be shameless to live if I can't take Sucheng again."

Peng Zhen said coldly: "No need to worry about the third brother. If I can't take Sucheng, I cut off this head and apologize!"

Luo Laizi laughed and said, "Boss, this military order was made by Peng Zhen himself."

Wang Bo looked at Luo Laizi coldly and said, "Shut up! Do you think others are fools? In front of me, you can't tolerate others' fingers!"

Luo Laizi was stunned and was startled by the coldness in Wang Bo's tone. However, when he looked at Peng Zhen, the murderous aura in his eyes became even stronger.

On the city wall, Xiongkuohai ordered the soldiers to take advantage of the opportunity of the Jibei army retreating, and then asked the civilians to go up to the city wall to carry all the bodies down. Then transport the sandbags used to guard the city, roll wood, stones, white ash and vegetable oil.

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

Xiong Kuohai walked to Li Xian and wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Next time the Jibei Army attacked again, I personally took people out from the south gate to the flank of the Jibei Army. Just defeat the Jibei Army's second offensive, and today Wang Bo's men will no longer be able to raise morale to attack the city."

Li Xian smiled and said, "Since I have handed over Sucheng to you, if you think this will defeat the Jibei army, then do this. If there is any danger, I will personally lead the army to pick you up back to the city."

"Thank you, General!"

Xiong Kuohai bowed his fists and bowed, and was moved inexplicably.

...

...

After Wang Bo's men were resting for half an hour, Peng Zhen ordered the trumpet to schedule and scrambled his men to rush up again. This time, Peng Zhen did not plan to use the city gate as the main target, which consumed too much troops there. If someone was sent to rush up and move the sandbag, the casualties would be even greater. He looked at Sucheng carefully and felt that the low city wall was the real weakness of Sucheng.

"As long as you capture Sucheng, the gold, silver, treasures and women in the city are yours. I have helped you get benefits from the boss. Everything in Sucheng belongs to our camp, and no one else can get a copper plate. I will guarantee you that I don't want anything in the city and all the things in the boss are fairly distributed to everyone! Moreover, I have already made a military order in front of the boss. If I can't take Sucheng, I will apologize for death! Have you heard that? If I die, you will not be able to raise your head in front of others!"

"Kill with me!"

Peng Zhen shouted loudly: "Don't let the people from other camps look down on us, you are all men!"

"kill!"

Peng Zhen waved his sword and led the 500 personal soldiers sent to him by Wang Bo, and rushed to the front of the team. His seven or eight thousand men were once again inspired by Peng Zhen, and he followed Peng Zhen and rushed out.

After the rain of arrows, rolling wood, throwing guns, and vegetable oil, after various obstacles, the soldiers of the Jibei Army finally rushed to the bottom of the city wall of Sucheng again. Peng Zhen personally carried the ladder with the soldiers, raising the soldiers up, loudly encouraging the soldiers' courage. The five hundred personal soldiers under Wang Bo guarded around him and kept fighting back against the city wall with feather arrows.

The soldiers of the Jibei Army continued to climb the city wall, but were soon killed by the defenders of Yanyun Village. The bodies also became weapons of the defenders, thrown from the city wall and smashed the people who climbed the cloud ladder.

Peng Zhen held a knife and killed two soldiers who were about to run back and shouted: "Go up, rush up, the people from Yanyun Village can no longer hold back. Who is the first to go to the city wall? I promise him a deputy leader and a thousand taels of silver!"

Just as he was shouting, he suddenly found a chaos in the wings of his team!

When he rushed over with his men, he realized that the flank was defeated by a Yanyun Village team that had come out of the city! What made him most angry was that the Yanyun Village team would never have more than one thousand people.

"kill!"

Peng Zhen roared and took Wang Bo's five hundred personal soldiers to meet him.

He rushed forward for more than ten steps, and suddenly a magnificent figure blocked the way forward. He subconsciously looked up and saw a strong general like a mountain holding a huge sword, full of murderous aura.

He screamed and waved his knife to the strong man's shoulder.

But the man raised the Mo Dao and then slashed Huashan with a simple move.

Mo Dao first cut off the horizontal knife in Peng Zhen's hand, and then cut down from Peng Zhen's right shoulder. The blade slashed the iron armor and burst out a series of sparks. However, the iron armor could not stop the slash of Taishan. With a puff, Mo Dao cut out from his crotch. The internal organs fell out and fell to the ground, just burying the half of the horizontal knife.

One knife, two pieces.
