Chapter 92 Night Attack

Amid the impact, the Jin soldiers in the city resisted the attack of the Song soldiers, and watched the teak hit the city gate. After a few strokes, the thick city gate wrapped in iron had creaked and a crack was knocked out.

"Hu..." The Jin soldiers on the entire city groaned together, and the noise was quite loud.

The Song soldiers under the city saw clearly and cheered and shouted together, and their voices shook the sky.

At this moment, the Jin soldiers general at the top of the city gave the order, dozens of barrels of boiling hot oil poured down, and the oil splashed everywhere, causing hundreds of Song soldiers near the city gate to jump up together. The boiling oil was very hot, and a small drop could make people feel unbearable pain. The dozens of Song soldiers who were hitting the city gate were poured down by the head, and they were burned to death without even screaming a few times.

After the oil was boiling, many Jin soldiers raised wooden buildings on the city wall and fell on the earth bags. When the Song Bing's goose cart approached, they pushed the earth bag high and threw it onto the goose cart, and then pulled it hard. In this way, the goose was heavy and light. Although someone had already started climbing on the ladder, it was pulled over as a whole. Everyone could only hear the squeaking sounds, and many goose carts were already pulled and broken by the Jin soldiers.

Guo Hao was furious when he saw it, and pressed the right knuckles of his sword, which made him pale. He was cautious and cautious, but he was not timid and cowardly. At this time, he saw that the enemy was guarding him in a good manner and the Song army under the city suffered heavy losses. He was anxious and angry, and he wished he could step forward in person.

At this moment, Lu Yongzhong saw that the losses ahead were getting bigger and bigger, and he couldn't help but be anxious. When he arrived in front of Guo Hao, he said anxiously: "Master: It's impossible to attack like this. Without the goose cart, we have to lose too much money. Besides, it's not easy to build Efeng, so we can't continue to lose so much."

Guo Hao was furious in his heart. He heard Lu Yong's heart hurt the goose car. He almost wanted to punch him, but he remembered the other party's identity. He had to force himself to suppress himself.

After suppressing his anger in his heart, he said, "Mr. Lu doesn't know. His anger can be boosted but not released. Now he is anxious. Which side can better lead to the ground, which side wins."

After a pause, he said with a cold face: "Efeng is not easy to build; it is not as valuable as human life. Besides, conquering Taiyuan is important, and it is only necessary to build the goose car if it is damaged."

"Yes, it's because the officials are not clear about the matter."

Lu Yongzhong's face turned slightly red and retreated to the side.

Although he was a civil official, he actually experienced a lot of battle formations. Seeing that the Song soldiers at the city were already weaker, the Jin soldiers at the city suffered great losses, but they were in the final area and had a good position to advance and retreat. The war had been fought for nearly two hours. The Song soldiers' bodies were piled up higher and higher at the corner of the city, and the blood spread. Although he was several miles away, he could see it clearly. He suspected that he might not be able to break the city. However, he did not dare to speak, so he had to retreat to the side and stop talking.

During the whole day, both sides fought to the death. By the afternoon, the Song soldiers finally began to retreat, and the Jin soldiers at the top of the city also rushed to rest. Many Jin soldiers leaned on the battlements, looking at the corpse of Song soldiers under the city with a gloomy face. While watching, they were eating dry food in the cup. The food in the city was tight, and only the soldiers who came to the front of the enemy had food to eat. The guard Wanyan Jiujin had not moved the stove at his own home for several days. After fighting for a day, the Song soldiers under the city attacked repeatedly with the advantage of the number of people, but the Jin soldiers on the top of the city were able to

Even if they were brave and strong, they could not stand it. When they saw the Song soldiers retreating, many people fell to the ground in depressed state. Some people still had the strength to eat, while most people no longer used their strength to eat. The black and blood-stained hands still held the weapons in their hands, and fell to the ground and could no longer stand up. Not far behind them, people gradually came up and transported the damaged weapons to repair them. They also began to carry away the corpses who died in battle on the top of the city. As for the bloodstains and the smell of smell, they didn't care about washing them.

The Jin soldiers were like this, and the Song soldiers who had been fighting hard for a day were extremely tired. Although the siege battles were not very much due to the turn of battles, each unit suffered no losses, and the number of casualties was about one or two thousand people. For the Song army with nearly 70,000 people, it was completely negligible. It was just that the siege was not good, and the siege equipment was greatly damaged. At noon, a cannon had been used to hit the city wall, but the enemy had already gained experience, even the battlements were piled up with earth bags to reduce the loss of shell explosions. After the shells were used up, they were thrown with ordinary stones, and the killing was even more insignificant. As for the goose carts and cave cars, nearly half of them were lost. Such a land of Guguo made the whole army worried. Although their confidence in breaking the city did not reduce its confidence in breaking the city in a tiny period, it seemed unlikely to break the city in the short term.

When the battle ended like this, not only Guo Hao was in a heavy mood, but also the other generals had a deep face.

In the twilight, strands of red clouds were particularly enchanting under the red sun. Everyone looked at the city walls of Taiyuan City for more than ten miles, because they stood on the hillside and were far away. From this, they seemed to be on the top of the short and thin city walls, as if they could step through them. But for two days of fighting, they lost their losses and could not break through the city that was lost. Thinking of this, everyone was extremely depressed. They only watched the soldiers stop and retreat back to the camp. There was no one saying anything for a while?

Guo Hao stayed for a long time before he came to his senses for a while. When he saw the generals silent, he had to cheer up his spirits first. As the commander, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that it would be so. However, today's hard fight, our army was exhausted, and the enemy could not withstand it. In the evening, I saw that the enemy was exhausted. If it weren't for the late days, I was afraid that the result would be unpredictable."

Zhang Jun came directly under the emperor's order. Unexpectedly, he thought he could not get rid of the war. He also pondered: "How about the night war? I ordered the soldiers of the entire army to rest for an hour, rest for meals, repair weapons and chariots, and then attack again at night. Our army is ten times more important than the enemy, so it's no reason to let them go."

Guo Hao originally had this intention. After many battles, he saw that his old friend was exhausted was not a false statement, but just looked at the distant sky.

Although the red clouds are still there.

By time, there is no moonlight for lighting at night, and the morale of the Song army has dropped slightly today.

If the night battle is unfavorable, the losses will be even greater, and they will not recover for a while.

After thinking about it, although this kind of siege is greatly damaged, at most it will be possible to break the city if it attacks again. The enemy has less than 10,000 troops, and one or two thousand people have been lost for two consecutive days. There are not many equipment to defend the city in the city again, so how can we defend it?

He smiled and said, "What's the hurry? Take two days off and raise your morale and let your brothers relax their energy."

Yao Duan and Zhang Xian looked at each other, and they knew each other's intentions, and immediately smiled and said, "The General Manager is right. Even if the military soldiers are not injured in this life and death battlefield, their spirits will be damaged. They will be slow for two days. If they see that they can't last for a day, we don't have to be so anxious."

When the two main generals spoke together, no one else said anything. Guo Hao was very happy to hear that the two of them followed their own arrangements.

Just then, they thought, these two men were both firecrackers and had bad tempers. They had been so easy to talk to for two consecutive days. They were not good at siege, but they could only look so easy to talk to. They glanced at the two of them with suspicious eyes, but they saw that they were calm and did not look weird, so they had to do it.

At this moment, everyone dispersed, counted the losses, comforted the wounded, and rewarded soldiers who were brave and powerful today. They also needed to report the situation to the emperor and the Privy Councilors. They were busy until they were in charge of the lamp. They were so busy that they didn't even have to eat. They gathered in Guo Hao's camp and reported everything that was right. Guo Hao ordered everyone to be careful, and then ordered them to disperse and return to the camp.

After such a stir, Zhang Xian and Yao Rui knew that time was tight and it was almost midnight. The two of them returned to their camps and secretly promoted their troops. After midnight, the camp that stretched for more than ten miles was snoring everywhere. Yao Camp was in front, so they picked up their troops and waited for Zhang Xian to come and meet.

He only waited for half an hour.

Zhang Xian had already arrived with hundreds of people. Because it was a sneak attack in the middle of the night, everyone was not wearing armor, but wearing short robes and holding short soldiers. Yao Rui glanced over at one glance, and felt that each of them was strong and powerful. It was obviously the elites in the army. He nodded immediately and smiled at Zhang Xian: "No, it depends on theirs this time."

Zhang Xian also smiled, his teeth shining in the dark night, and he changed his armor himself. At this time, he felt refreshed and light, so he smiled at Yao Duan: "You are here to wait for Jieyin, I will bring people up in person. You can wait for the movement and bring follow-ups immediately."

He asked again: "It's quiet in your camp. How many people have you arranged to arrive later?"

Yao Rui was stunned and replied first: "In addition to the troops attacking the city, more than 3,000 people ordered to go to bed early. When the time comes, they would shout first, put on armor and prepare to respond. When the movements come, the entire army would naturally move."

Zhang Xian nodded and said, "Yes, although we are tired, the enemy is even more tired. It is almost impossible to attack the city tonight."

He was full of confidence, but Yao Duan said anxiously: "As the commander of the first army, how can you do such a thing yourself? It's not a matter of hard to conquer Taiyuan a few days later. If you make a mistake, not only me, but also General Guo, Zhang and others, will be scolded. Why is that going on?"

Zhang Xian waved his hand and smiled, "You don't have to hurry. I don't climb the city myself. I just stay a little far away and I'll be instructed by myself. If it's not going well, I won't hurt my fur."

Seeing that Yao Duan was going to persuade him again, Zhang Xian said: "The person who came to the city last night was Li Xianzhong. This boy is a naughty boy. I never would have taught him to look down on me. Besides, even when my official was in the deputy commander, he also led people to fight in the formation of ten thousand troops. What's so amazing?"

Yao Duan was so angry that he was both amused and cried, and he was also vaguely admired. In fact, the ancients were fighting, and the strategic formation was important, and whether the generals were brave and mighty, was also the key to whether the army could be strong and powerful. In ancient times, no matter how the army was established, its communications organization could not be compared with modern troops. Sometimes, what could make the soldiers of the entire army work hard and be determined was whether the general dared to fight and kill.

No longer persuasion, he just hit Zhang Xian hard in the chest and said with a smile: "Okay, be careful in everything. I will wait for you to move and go and answer."
