Chapter 41 Siege []
After two days, the rain gradually thinned out. On the third afternoon, the rain finally stopped hanging for nearly a month. From time to time, half a shy head was exposed to scatter light and heat to the earth.
Seeing the sun, Yang You immediately asked the soldiers to take out the bowstring and find a wide place to put the sun on the bottom. As the sun shone, the water in the bowstring evaporated and gradually recovered its elasticity.
In the sky, the naked eye can see a trace of water vapor evaporated, and the whole world looks foggy like a fairyland.
Taking this opportunity, Yang You took Hou Jun, Zhang Zhenzhou, Du Ruhui and others to patrol dozens of warships outside Junyang City and sailed towards Junyang City.
Looking around the deck of Yang You, it is already a small lake in the southwest of Junyang City, Wang Yang. At this time, due to the blockage of the river, Danjiang Lake is connected together, and Fiona Fang has become an artificial lake for more than ten miles.
Dozens of warships marched towards Junyangcheng in a mighty way. Naturally, they could not hide from Wang Changhe and Zhao Cijing. Both of them hurried to the wall and their faces changed.
Is the Sui army going to attack the city now? Now the river is soaring, and the water surface is less than two feet away from Chengtou. If Sui Jun attacks, what will it take to resist? Although he has asked soldiers to dig soil in the city and prepare sandbags, he means to plug the gap in the wall. If he wants to raise the city, I’m afraid the whole city of Junyang will be dug.
Moreover, if sandbags pile up and the width of the city wall blocks the water, it will not stop Sui Jun’s attack. It is difficult to defend it steadily because of the face method. Zhao Cijing is worried about this. He has no strength to blame the belligerent Wang Changhe. It is his ignorance that makes him in trouble.
Wang Changhe looked dignified and saw that Sui Jun was gradually approaching a heart. It was difficult for so many warships to stop. The warships stopped in Yang You fifty paces away from the wall. When they came out, they suddenly saw a face of panic. Zhao Cijing and Wang Changhe.
This distance is actually very dangerous, but because the rain bowstring is soft, Yang You is not worried about it and dares to drive forward.
"Zhao Cijing, Wang Changxie, etc. still don’t surrender?" Yang You Gao said.
Although Zhao Cijing was in a panic, he was a royal relative and had a son. He could never surrender to Wang Changxie. His wife and children were also detained in Beijing. If he surrendered, it would be very miserable. He had to die and die in order to avoid being implicated in his family. If he did a good job, he should be able to protect his family from food and clothing.
Wang Changxie shouted loudly, "Since we are under siege, we will fight to the death. It is impossible for me to surrender!"
Yang You smiled, and Yang You still wanted to accept them, but it seems that it is in vain now. He looked at the city wall, and many places near the water surface have turned white, and the color of the female wall is very different.
Gently shaking his head, Hou Jun took a spear and walked towards the back. The crowd made way for Hou Jun to run. Hou Jun stood still for a few steps and ran forward quickly.
Hou Jun stretched out his right arm and clenched the spear in his hand. After running for more than ten steps, his speed has reached its peak. Suddenly, he flung his arm and threw the spear.
When Zhao Cijing saw this scene, he was scared and stepped back. Wang Changhe had no motivation. He had already seen that this spear was not coming for them.
After the spear drew a beautiful arc, the "wave" was deeply nailed into the wall, and the whole spear point was submerged in the wall, leaving a white wax pole hanging around.
Yang You smiled with satisfaction, so that the city wall had been collapsed. If the flood receded, the whole city would be like mud. When Zhao Cijing and Wang Changxie saw this scene, they looked even more dignified, so that the city wall could no longer be called the city wall. Why should Tang Jun resist Sui Jun?
Satisfied with Yang You’s wave of withdrawing troops, he left the wall still watching the Sui army, Zhao and Wang. What should I do? Just when they were helpless, Sui Jun began to pull open the dam …
Li Daliang, 30 miles north of Junyang City, has led 5,000 troops to come here. A few days ago, he received an urgent military order to let Lun Ru find a way to rescue Zhao Cijing, the prefect of Xiyang County.
After receiving the information, Li Daliang quickly analyzed the situation in Xiyang County. He believed that Sui Jun had controlled Nanxiang County and Danshui County, which meant that Tang Jun would be attacked by Sui Jun when he went by water, and at the same time his plan would be dashed.
Since the goal is to rescue Zhao Cijing instead of repelling Sui Junbao’s entire Xiyang County, there will be a surprise attack if Li Daliang takes measures. Since it is a surprise attack, it is impossible to take Danshui.
Li Daliang will choose Shaoxi Mountain and Wudang Mountain as the route. The canyon is about fifteen miles long. At ordinary times, the road is not difficult to walk. Nowadays, the rain is easy to slip, but Li Daliang has no way to March with soldiers in the pouring rain.
Because the water in the canyon was too deep, it still affected Tang Jun’s marching speed. He had to let Soldier Mountain cut down trees and simply tied them into rafts. It took him a day to get through a puddle two miles long.
After crossing the puddle, the weather has turned sunny, and it rains for no more than five hours every day, and most of them make Li Daliang walk faster in the middle and late nights.
However, when I arrived in Junyangcheng, 30 miles away, Li Daliang felt that something was wrong. The terrain of Xiyang County was high in the west, low in the east, high in the north and low in the south, and there were a series of mountains in the south of Danshui, which were the remaining veins of Wudang Mountain. Walking in Li Daliang is the west foot of this mountain range, and there are few cracks in the mountains.
Because of this topography, there are not many lakes in Xiyang county, and the area is not large. But now there are shallow water marks here 30 miles north of Junyang city, so the water marks are not accumulated by rain, because from the topography, there is no water accumulation here, and the rain should flow southeast.
However, the soldiers dug three feet when cooking, and the ground was still wet, which proved that this area had been flooded for a long time.
This made Li Daliang particularly vigilant. He told his soldiers to be careful and explore all the way. As he went southeast, he found a very serious problem.
Because the plain of Danshui and Hanshui alluvial areas began to increase in this area, it is a production area of Xiyang County. There are not only a lot of farmland, but also many villages. Li Daliang has visited the area and he knows it very well.
But now even after a month of heavy rain, it’s not so! The wheat in the farmland has been harvested and there is no clue for the time being, but no one lives in these villages? There’s no one?
Li Daliang sent troops to inquire about several villages and got the same answer, which not only made him suspicious, but what was the reason for all the people to evacuate?
Li Daliang dared not go south easily when he was twenty miles away from Junyangcheng. He sent scouts to explore and then decided on the next step.
Sui Jun, outside Junyang City, has opened the dam and accumulated rivers for many days. Ma Benteng crashed towards Youbenchi and went to Yang You. Considering the water storage capacity of Youbenchi, it did not let the accumulated water go, but released the flood slowly.
When the Sui army was nervously draining water, it had gradually surrounded Junyang City, and first surrounded it from the north, which was equivalent to cutting off Junyang City’s retreat. As soon as the flood receded, the city walls began to peel off layer by layer.
The glutinous rice juice soaked in the river was gradually decomposed, and there was no more stickiness. Wang Changxie hurriedly took soldiers sandbags to fill the wall and blocked the gap, but the civilian workers had just rushed to prepare for Sui Jun and had already killed it.
After two days of exposure, the bowstring in Sui Jun has recovered its elasticity. Several archers rushed to 70 paces outside the city and began to cast bows and arrows, and their feathers flew towards Chengtou, killing more than 20 civilian workers who were carrying sandbags.
Seeing this, the civilian worker threw sandbags and fled in a panic.
Sui Jun suddenly killed too quickly, so that Tang Jun was caught off guard. Wang Changhe rushed with a crossbowman to fight back against Sui Jun, but Sui Jun’s crossbowman who had just reached Chengtou was about fifty paces away from the city, and a new round of shooting suppressed Tang Jun.
Sui Jun took three shots and gradually moved forward with the shooting. After more than a dozen rounds of shooting, Sui Jun gradually approached the city wall, and Hou Jun took the lead in armor.
Sui Jun step pawn holding ladder plank Sui Jun crossbowman cover is very smoothly arrived in the city, then the tool quickly crossed the moat moat, the river is full, and it is turbid and stinks.
Sui Jun didn’t hesitate for a moment to push the pedal across the river, which frightened Tang Jun. Tang Jun Wang Changhe commanded to shoot the arrow feather with little effect.
All this difference is because there are not many soldiers in Tang Jun, and at the same time, because there are not many bows and arrows, the remote output roots can not be compared with Sui Jun, although it is much more beneficial to Tang Jun than not only Sui Jun is close to the city wall.
Wang Changxie saw that the Sui army was going to climb the city and ordered the soldiers to throw the stone at the city of Sui Jun. The huge stone fell into the crowd of the Sui army and several people were killed on the spot.
At this time, sandbags also became weapons. Tang Jun constantly threw sandbags at the wall of Hou Jun, Sui Jun, and carried out his feet and kicked the wall hard. Because the wall has become extremely loose, as Hou Jun slammed the wall, the stone fell like sand.
Many Sui Jun also kicked the wall with Hou Jun, and the team was commanding to close their feet at the same time and kick out the wall together for a while and then trembled as if it would collapse at any time.
Chapter 411 Siege []
The wall shook, the sand fell and Wang Changxie was surprised. He repeatedly told the soldiers to push the stone, but at this moment Sui Jun was ready to avoid it as soon as the boulder hit, and the loss was not great. Once Tang Jun returned and continued to move the stone, Sui Jun continued to kick the wall.
It seems a matter of time before the Sui army attacked Tang Jun from all sides and they couldn’t stop Sui Jun from breaking the city because of insufficient troops.
As the Sui army stormed Junyangcheng, at the same time, the Li Daliang army has gradually approached Junyangcheng. Through the scout Li Daliang, he got some news. After analysis, Li Daliang judged that Sui Jun attacked the water.
All the signs of water attack can be reasonably explained. Since Sui Jun has taken water attack, the flood has subsided now, which proves that the Sui army is attacking the city.
Li Daliang, with 5,000 soldiers, carefully marched to Junyangcheng and stopped ten miles north. He climbed a hill and saw Junyangcheng Li Daliang in the distance. His eyesight was not bad. He suddenly saw people crawling in the distance and Sui Jun’s crimson flag waving.
Li Daliang judged that the Sui army was attacking the city, he jumped into the hills, continued to lead troops forward, and walked carefully for several miles. He stopped in Li Daliang five miles outside Yangcheng, so he was so cautious because he had 5,000 soldiers and horses, so he had to be careful.
At this time, the distance of five miles was enough for Li Daliang to see more clearly. When he climbed the mountain, he found that the situation in Junyangcheng was very dangerous.
Many walls in Junyangcheng have collapsed. Sui Jun has already entered the city. Tang Jun is engaged in street fighting. Li Daliang is in a hurry and Tang Jun has fallen into the wind. What happened to Zhao Cijing? Dead or alive? Not in the city?
In an instant, several thoughts came to Li Daliang’s mind, but what he knew and what he knew was probably fatal to the battle on the battlefield.
Li Daliang sighed that he felt a little hasty. Now he doesn’t know much about the enemy’s situation. This rescue operation is somewhat unreliable! However, Li Daliang sighed at the thought that he had to obey the order.
Yang You in the east of Junyangcheng rode a horse and watched the war. Hou Jun led Sui Jun into the city. Tang Jun panicked, but Yang You’s eyes were not just Zhao Cijing in Junyangcheng, but Li Daliang.
After guessing Li Daliang’s possible marching route, Yang You arranged scouts on that road. Li Daliang’s marching process has been mastered by Yang You. If Li Daliang wants to enter the ambush, he will go back and forth.
While he was waiting, a fast horse came running from a distance, and a series of horseshoe prints were very eye-catching. The sound of the soldiers dragged on for a long time. He bypassed more than 100 cavalry around Yang You and went to the high road ten paces away from Yang You. "I report that Tang Jun was found five miles north of Yangcheng!"
Yang You watched the soldiers arrive in less than half an hour not far from five miles away. It seems that Li Daliang’s goal is very obvious. "To make the army prepare for the iron wall, Tang Jun reinforcements will be annihilated in one fell swoop."
"hey!" The soldiers had to make the horses run towards the north.
"Li Daliang really took the canyon!" Du Ruhui smoothed her beard and said with a smile.
Yang You turned his attention to Junyangcheng Road. "Li Daliang came here this time only to rescue Zhao Cijing. He will definitely take a surprise attack to achieve his goal as soon as possible! Now that he has fallen into the trap, it is only a matter of time before he is captured! "
Just as the two men were talking, Li Daliang moved again. He divided the soldiers into two parts, one with 3,000 men led by himself and the other with 2,000 led by lieutenant Cao De. They were stationed in situ and built a line of defense in situ. Once Li Daliang rescued Zhao Cijing, this line of defense could hinder them.
Cao Deling ordered soldiers to cut down trees to build fences, refuse horses, thistles and other things. Li Daliang took 3,000 soldiers to Junyangcheng. Shortly after he left, a fast horse arrived in a forest ten miles away.
There are 500 cavalry waiting for orders at the edge of the forest. After the soldiers broke into the forest, Jang Jin Zhou immediately got up and his face was beaming.
"General Zhang has ordered you to attack and defeat Tang Jun quickly!" The famous war horse Gao said
Zhang Zhenzhou repeatedly clapped his hands and shouted, "Brothers, get up and prepare to kill the enemy!"
Hear Zhang Zhenzhou command cavalry are up across the horse "rush! It is necessary to defeat Tang Jun in one fell swoop! " Zhang Zhenzhou’s horses and horses drank heavily, and the cavalry crashed into the sky.
Zhang Zhenzhou ran to the south with a horse belly in his legs, and the cavalry rushed to the south like a torrent behind him. Because the soil was still wet, the horseshoe trampled on the wet mud and splashed the horse.
The horseshoe sound was not loud until Zhang Zhenzhou cavalry arrived in Tang Jun, two miles away, and Cao De, the lieutenant of Tang Jun, felt a little bad.
Cao De first felt the ground shake, and then he heard the horseshoe. He was frightened to climb the mountain and suddenly found that at least 300 cavalry came rushing in, which made him furious and discolored. He was shocked and speechless.
However, Sui Jun cavalry won’t stop moving because Cao De can’t speak. He is surprised that the cavalry has been killed in an instant, dancing with a horizontal knife and spear in their hands, just like a wild wolf breaking into the flock.
The wolf sticks out his sharp claws, and every attack will kill a lamb. The lamb panics and runs away everywhere, but they can’t outrun the wolf in a double battle.
