The general will eat grass

Under the cover of several soldiers from Deng Mian, Zhao Yuansong and several Min Zhuang spilled wine on the wooden ladder.Zhao Yuansong has experience on how to avoid flying arrows and shuttle on the city wall. He pointed out to others: "Be careful, if you are shorter, if you want to pour wine from the crenel on the wall, you should watch it first, and then stretch out your hands to splash it. Head out."

The person who was rescued by him patted his chest to express his gratitude.

As the saying goes, classmate love and fellowship are the most sincere and unforgettable feelings.After several days of fighting on the city wall, Deng Mian's view of Zhao Yuansong has completely changed.Especially last night, when he heard Xiaodandan's "No Clothes" from Paoze, he knew that the rumors in Kyoto were pure nonsense. He could stand on the top of the city wall and sing words that inspired the soldiers to fight against each other. surgery?If you really want to give him the title of dandy, then he is also a literate little dandy!

Deng Mian didn't read much and had a straight temper. He didn't like Zhao Yuanji's scholars, who would delve into whether Zhao Yuansong's words rhyme or not.He only knew that this poem should be adapted to the situation. In the midst of the flames of war, he saw the soldiers who heard the poem shout out their determination to live together and die together.

Deng Mian accepted Zhao Yuansong as a member of the Dingguo government without him noticing.

It may be that the Huns suffered a big loss yesterday, and when they saw strong wine being sprinkled on the city wall, they retreated immediately.Chen county magistrate leaned on the water and fire stick brought from the yamen, stuck his back on the edge of the inner city wall, stood on tiptoe, looked out of the city through the one-foot-wide city wall, and shouted excitedly: "The Huns have retreated, the Huns People are afraid of our drinking plan!"

Duke Dingguo and Zhou Gang listened to his yelling, and together they restrained a Hun who had climbed up the wall. Using him as a shield, they leaned against the crenel of the wall and watched, only to see that the Huns retreated as quickly as the tide was ebbing.Moreover, they shot arrows while retreating, covering the enemy soldiers climbing on the ladder and sliding down the ladder to join them safely.

Zhao Yuansong found it strange. Logically speaking, our side's use of wine, oil, and fire attacks would only affect a very limited area. They just need to avoid the base of the wall. There is no need to withdraw from the range of the arrow feathers. Orderly changing the formation, forming a few small groups of arrows charging, it seems that there is a hidden momentum ready to go.

Zhao Yuansong didn't understand the art of war, so he approached Ding Guogong and asked, "Father, what are they doing? They finally rushed to the city, even if they are afraid of our strong wine cooking oil, there is no need to retreat so far, right? Re-formation charge , don’t we have to take our arrow feathers again?”

County magistrate Chen, with a relaxed expression, laughed while leaning on a water and fire stick: "Young master, don't you know? The Huns are also afraid. They are afraid of everything beyond their imagination. Let's sprinkle it Wine meter... Uh, no, it's cooking oil with strong wine... Hehe, the name the young master gave is Ba Qi. This cooking oil with strong wine must be a method they can't crack, so they are really scared!"

Having lived at the border for many years, County Magistrate Chen had some understanding of the customs and habits of the enemy, so he immediately showed off.

In the cold weather, Zhou Gang's sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and his blood-stained shirt was torn open by him to expose his chest. The leather armor on his body was only below his waist and abdomen. He rolled the blade in his hand and threw the restrained Hun off the city wall with one hand. , also agreed: "Master Chen is right. Don't look at the Huns as ruthless as wolves, but they all have a heart of reverence for ghosts and gods."

Zhao Yuansong felt something was wrong, but he didn't know the art of war, and it was his first time participating in a battle, so he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.

Duke Ding remained silent for a long time, keeping a close eye on the movements of the Huns.When he found that the Huns deliberately gave way to the catapults that were dozens of feet away, he was taken aback, turned around and shouted at the soldiers and civilians, pulling their necks, "Quickly retreat, get down the city wall, the Huns are going to use catapults again!"

Chen County Magistrate's face turned pale all of a sudden, "Catapult? It's about to throw stones, everyone run!"

Catapult weapons are not very powerful when seen from a distance. It takes a lot of effort to load rocks, and the launch interval is too long. Moreover, the path of the rocks flying over is very intuitive. Anyone who is not blind can avoid it, but this is only limited In an open place, on the other hand, on a city wall that is less than a foot wide, there is one person every three or two steps. The soldiers are okay and know how to cover themselves. There will inevitably be stampede and crowding incidents.The catapult was originally used for siege, but its main function was to destroy the city wall and deter the enemy.

County Magistrate Chen didn't want to be squeezed off the city wall by Min Zhuang who was in a panic, so he ran to the stone steps of the city wall first with his big belly.Zhou Gang was about to organize an effective evacuation, but when the county magistrate ignored the people and ran for his own life, he spat, and his favorability for him was cleared.

Zhao Yuansong has also seen the power of catapults, but he has never experienced the horror of large falling rocks up close.Seeing that Duke Dingguo was wounded on his arm, he followed the old man and did not escape with Minzhuang.In an emergency, Ding Guogong saw him following him like a little tail, and suddenly got angry from his chest, and cursed: "What are you doing with me, if you don't leave, you want to die!"

Their location happened to be under the dilapidated eaves in the middle of the city gate tower, some distance away from the stone steps at both ends of the city wall.Under the leadership of Zhou Gang, Min Zhuang made a tactical evacuation, the soldiers were delayed, and Deng Mian followed behind to command.

"father……"

"Father, why don't you hurry up and go with Xiao Hei." Duke Ding pushed him lightly, then raised his head and called Deng Mian: "Heizi, take your second sister-in-law down the city wall."

At this moment, there were two loud noises of "Boom! Boom!" Zhou Gang shouted from the stone steps on the left side of the city wall: "Don't panic on the city wall, protect your heads, and run in front of you!"

There was the sound of rubble falling in his ears, Zhao Yuansong didn't even think about it, he turned around in the dust and fell on Ding Guogong, protecting the old man with his ungrown body.

The entire city gate building collapsed, and the bricks, stones and tiles kept falling, burying the people below the city gate building alive.Two large falling rocks hugged by three people rolled down the city wall one after the other, smashing the wall stacks, and the splashed stones hit the people below the city who were helping to deal with the boiling oil. The stones fell into the hot oil, and the splashed oil spots Many people were also injured, and the dry firewood piled up around them was also burned. The people wailed and ran away immediately.

Everyone on the city wall panicked when they saw this scene, Zhou Gang was the first to recover, and told the villagers to continue to line up and evacuate, not to be crowded.Deng Mian also recovered from the shock, turned his head to look at Ding Guogong's position, the place was buried by the collapsed rubble and brick walls, he called out a few personal guards to help him rescue people together with a trembling voice.

County magistrate Chen, who had safely run to the city, looked back and saw the falling rock rolling towards him, his face was ashen, and he was leaning on a water and fire stick, but his legs could not control the trembling.He used his arms to support him, trying to avoid the trajectory of falling rocks, and when he looked up again, he saw the oil pan in the corner of the city was overturned, and the pile of dry wood was on fire. He couldn't help but murmured, "Is the city going to be destroyed? Abandon the city now." Is there still a glimmer of life?" County Magistrate Chen is only the Grand Lord of Jiupin County. During the war, there was no order from the commander of the city gate, and no one had the right to open the city gate without authorization. Feng Jingde was not around, so he could only wait for the order of Captain Fenyong Zhou Gang .

Ding Guogong was a little dazed after being thrown down, but after a while he realized that Zhao Yuansong was trying to save himself, so he couldn't help feeling warm.Opening his eyes, he wanted to stretch out his hand to push him up, only to find that the broken wall was pressing half of their bodies, the broken window sill was propped up on top of their heads, and drops of warm blood were dripping on his face.Duke Ding's heart tightened, and just as he was about to speak, his mouth was full of dirt: "Cough, cough, Song'er?"

Deng Mian, the others and the courageous Min Zhuang were busy digging through the rubble, and rescued three or four people in a row.One was seriously injured, and there was no death. Reassured, he anxiously looked in the direction where Duke Ding was standing.After a long search, I found Duke Dingguo's clothes among a pile of rubble and broken wood, and exclaimed in surprise, "Marshal, Second Sister-in-law, how are you all?"

The personal guard heard that he found Ding Guogong, and rushed to help. This area is just close to the remnants of the city gate, collapsed walls, falling rubble, broken wooden beams, don't have too many earth and rocks, if you are not careful, it is very likely The ruins that caused the crumbling continued to collapse.

Several people cleaned up carefully, and it took a long time to dig out most of the two people's bodies. They were relieved to see the broken wooden window sills on their heads, and to hear Ding Guogong's voice.But the crowd didn't dare to move the obstacles rashly, they still cleared the upper layer of soil and rocks little by little, and almost removed the coverings on their heads.Duke Ding, whose face was covered with blood, made everyone gasp, "Marshal? Second Young Madam?"

"Cough, cough, I'm fine. This is Song'er's blood. Hurry up and save him." Ding Guogong half-closed his eyes, feeling some pain in his left leg. Zhao Yuansong's face on his body was even paler. Raise your arms to cover his head, so as not to hurt him again from landslides.

Deng Mian and the others quickly cleared away the boulders on Zhao Yuansong's body, one of them supported his shoulders, and the others dragged and dragged him out of the rubble.But he was already in a coma, no matter how anyone called him, he didn't respond.Deng Mian tested his breathing with shaking fingers, "Phew, it's okay, he's still alive, let's carry him down first."

Seeing the guards carefully carry him away, Deng Mian turned around and helped Ding Guogong up, "Marshal, how are you? Where is the injury?"

"I'm fine, don't worry, call the military doctor to see Song'er, I don't think he's well." Duke Ding wiped off the blood on his face, worried and distressed.His son and daughter-in-law are still newly married, and it's almost Chinese New Year, and this kind of thing happened!

"Yes."

"Boom! Boom!" There were two more loud bangs, bricks and tiles splashed, the city wall collapsed, and everyone hugged their heads on their waists and quickly evacuated under the city wall.

Duke Dingguo was still on the city wall, and Zhou Gang led Xiaowu soldiers back to protect him, in case the Huns charged at this time.He had just rushed up the stone steps of the city wall, and heard the sound of the boulder falling, and rushed upwards, just in time to meet the guard who was carrying Zhao Yuansong running over. When he saw the appearance of the young boy, his heart skipped a beat, and he turned around and shouted: "Military doctor, where is the military doctor?" ? Hurry up, save people!"

"Woo~~" The long horn sounded, the horses neighed and screamed, and as they got closer, the Huns began to attack.Ding Guogong and others stopped to look back, and found that they had opened a big hole in the city wall on the side of the city gate, and the wall collapsed to only one person's height from the ground.

Zhou Gang rushed up to the city wall and spat: "Fuck the fuck, these sons of bitches! Come on, gather all the archers and attack with fire!"

There was chaos in the city, the fire caused by the oil pan gradually weakened, and the city wall collapsed again at this time, and the people hiding behind the nearby bunkers were terrified.The county magistrate Chen hid behind the big falling rock, knelt and crawled on the ground, poked his head out tremblingly, and looked at the collapsed city wall, "I can't hold it, I really can't hold it, if I don't retreat, it will be too late!" Thinking of the Huns entering the city, Regardless of the military order, he suddenly stood up and shouted to the people: "Go, the city is about to be broken, run for your life!" He shouted, the people in the city panicked even more, and one person fled, and then Several people followed, and many of them ran home to pack their belongings.
