The general will eat grass

Chapter 41 The Battle of Changyang Pass

"Military doctor! Where is the military doctor?" Ding Guogong and others who ran down from the city wall protected Zhao Yuansong to find a safer place and put him on the ground. Deng Mian hurried to find the military doctor.Hearing the yelling of the county magistrate Chen, he bent down and picked up the water and fire stick on the ground, stepped forward in two steps, and the stick fell like a torrential rain, hitting the county magistrate Chen hard.But he grasped the strength just right, and the county magistrate Chen only turned into a big pig's head. "Shut up, as the magistrate, how dare you disturb the morale of the army!"

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooows

Zhao Yuansong was placed on the ground, and after a while, a puddle of blood flowed out from under his head and behind his ears.Duke Ding knelt down halfway, and probed his breath with his hand, it turned out that he was getting weaker and weaker.Dingguo Gong's eyes turned red, and he said sadly: "Son, you must not have anything to do, otherwise how would you explain to De'er as a father!" If it wasn't for this child, he would be the one lying here today. What to do?Although Zhou Gang was quick-witted, he was still timid.If Changyang cannot be guarded, De'er's side will be even more dangerous.

On the other side of the city wall, Zhou Gang ordered people to quickly prepare for the defensive battle.In the first wave of fire attack, because the spirits had been spilled before, and the oil pan in the city was overturned, only the arrows wrapped in cotton wool made by the women in advance were left in their hands. The quantity was limited, only three or four arrows per person .The firepower of this kind of arrow is small, and it does not go out halfway after being shot, and it is just a small flame that will be extinguished when it hits the body. It will not cause much damage, and it will cause a little trouble for the Huns.They need to rely on the wine that was spilled before, wait for the Huns to approach, light the ladders under the city, and then find the people who were drenched in the wine before, grasp the timing accurately, and shoot at fixed points in order to cause large-scale destruction.

Although a hole was opened in the city wall, the Huns would not be so stupid as to drill in directly. The gap between the two walls was narrow, forming a favorable defensive terrain. It only took dozens of archers to shoot in turn to keep their army out .Therefore, the Huns will not have only one siege strategy, and they will still use the ladders under the city walls.Zhou Gang took this into consideration, so he called all the archers and placed them in the most favorable terrain to defend the gaps on the city wall and the gate side respectively.

However, their hundreds of archers and less than a thousand soldiers, can they really withstand the attack of five thousand Hun troops?Zhou Gang could only sigh from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't show any worry on the surface, and he had to say something to boost the morale of the soldiers, "Listen to the orders, and wait for the Huns to approach before shooting arrows. Keep your eyes open and aim at them." Some, only shoot those with wet marks on their bodies, the point is to protect yourself, and it doesn’t matter if you shoot less thieves, do you hear me clearly?”

"Listen!"

"Very good, when the Huns climbed up the wall, you immediately retreat to the second line of defense. Whether the people in the city can escape safely depends on everyone!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Gang didn't expect how many Huns could be stopped by the first wave of attack. He walked down the city wall and recruited a few warriors who voluntarily stayed behind, and asked them to find a way to transport the dry firewood and charcoal still burning at the corner of the city to the city wall. Oil and hot water are better, and they will be thrown down when the Huns reach the bottom of the wall.He told everyone that the first thing to do is to protect yourself, to kill the enemy as soon as possible, and to evacuate the danger immediately.Seeing the Huns attacking the city, he didn't want to waste manpower. If one more soldier died in the city, their city would be a bit more dangerous.

He recruited a cavalryman and took his token to open the north city gate.There are four gates in Changyang Pass, backed by the mountains in the northwest and facing the plain in the southeast. Only the two roads in the southeast are the Kangzhuang Avenue, separated by dense mountains and forests. If the Huns want to attack the Central Plains, they have to pass Yuping Pass, detour Changyang South Road, and enter Changyang Only when you leave the east gate of the city can you really enter the Central Plains.Outside the northwest city are winding mountain roads, and the gates of the two northwest cities are also very small. The north gate can only accommodate two people walking side by side, and cannot drive cattle, horse-drawn carts and other carriages through.Because of this, there will be no Xiongnu soldiers outside the North City Gate, which is the most suitable for people to escape.

Zhou Gang ran to the second line of defense and joined the soldiers, just in time to see Deng Mian beating the county magistrate Chen, he could not help gloating and said, "Hmph, this kind of thing that only corrupts and accepts bribes, extracts people's fat and people's anointing, and is also greedy for life and fear of death, just kill him directly. It's not wrong!"

The soldiers behind him nodded in agreement. Someone happened to see the military doctor and shouted, "Sir, there are wounded, come here quickly. The military doctor is here!"

In this way, Deng Mian and the military doctor finally found each other in the turmoil.

The military doctor checked Zhao Yuansong's injury and immediately stopped the bleeding on his head.However, after the military doctor had carefully treated the wound on the back of his head, he still had a serious face and frown.

Ding Guogong grabbed the military doctor's hand: "How is it? Can it be cured?"

"Back to Commander-in-Chief, we are short of doctors and medicines here. The young master's sternum is broken and the trauma on his head can still be treated. The subordinates are a little worried that the young master's brain is congested. If the congestion is not clear, he may become unconscious or even There is still life in danger.”

Steward Wang found a stretcher to facilitate the transfer of Zhao Yuansong. He went to help Duke Ding, but was avoided by Duke Ding.The shouts of the Huns are getting closer and closer, and the battle on the city wall has begun.Ding Guogong looked at Zhao Yuansong, who was bloodless, then at Deng Mian and Wang Steward, and said, "I'll stay. You can take people to break through and evacuate depending on the situation."

"Marshal!" The expressions of both of them changed, and they wanted to persuade, but they stopped under Ding Guogong's firm gaze.

Ding Guogong waved his hand, took a spear from the soldier beside him, walked out of the bunker, and joined Zhou Gang and others.

Deng Mian stared at Duke Ding's back, and said to Steward Wang, "Uncle Wang, I will escort you out of the city, and then come back to save the commander. Come on, let's go while there is still time."

Come back to rescue the handsome?He rides alone?Can the general be rescued alive among more than 5000 Huns?

Butler Wang's eyes turned red, and he only said: "Okay, under the bid, we must escort the second young lady home safely!"

On the city wall, the archers' rockets had been released, and the wrestlers dropped a few burning logs. The number was limited, and the damage to the Huns was minimal.The Huns climbed up the city wall, and under the yelling of the centurion, the archers had to withdraw from the city wall, and quickly dispersed in important places such as the city gate and stone steps, and cooperated with the people on the second line of defense. The Huns launched an attack.

Duke Dingguo held a spear and led a group of soldiers with swords, shields and spears to charge forward and guard the gate of the east city.If the gates of the city were opened and the Xiongnu had nothing to stop them, the whole army could swarm in.

More and more Huns climbed over the gap in the city wall, and more and more soldiers fell from our army...

Arrows were all over the sky, blood stained the ground, and the unmelted snow inside and outside the city was trampled into mud; weapons collided, shouted and roared, and soldiers with their weapons curled up fought with their bare hands.

This is war, either you die or I die!

This is the soldier, in order to defend the country and protect the people, build a new city wall with flesh and blood!

"Hahahahahaha!" Suddenly, a pig's head covered in flowers crawled out from behind the big falling rock. He pointed at the gap in the city wall, laughed madly, and shouted: "Look, reinforcements, haha, our reinforcements are here! Hahaha , can’t die, reinforcements are here!”

Deng Mian and Steward Wang, who were busy evacuating, were taken aback for a moment. They turned around and looked, and saw the golden tiger howling flag on the red background and the golden tiger howling flag on the black background reflecting each other from the gap in the collapsed city wall. With the Tiangang Army led by Feng Yulin!

Duke Dingguo had doubts in his heart, he was afraid of being happy in the sky, and he finally let go of his hanging heart when he heard the unique whistle code of the Feng family coming from the gate of the city.

This battle was really difficult. At first, Feng Jingde fought against the Xiongnu's 8000-strong army with less than [-] troops, and defended the city for several days before Duke Dingguo came to rescue him.Afterwards, their number was less than [-], and the Xiongnu Bor Jijin Haishan still had more than [-] people. The chances of winning the battle were not great. Therefore, Feng Jingde chose to take the risk and attack the enemy's main tent.In the end, there were only about a thousand soldiers left in the city, and there were nearly five thousand Huns to defend.

Whether it is Feng Jingde or Ding Guogong, both of them are under a lot of pressure.If Feng Jingde can't defend Changyang, His Majesty the Emperor will punish him; if Ding Guogong can't resist the enemy's attack on the city, his son's efforts will all be in vain, and the people of Changyang will also be doomed.

It's a thousand miles away!

The city must not be broken!

Fortunately, reinforcements have arrived!

Duke Ding was overjoyed and saddened, his anger was burning, his eyes turned black, and if it wasn't for the help of his personal guards, he almost fell down.Slowing down, he roared: "The reinforcements have arrived, kill me!" This sound was so majestic that it resounded through half of Changyang City.

"Kill!" Dingguo Gong's personal guards responded, raised the knife in his hand again, and clenched the spear in his hand.

"Kill!" The Tiangang army outside the city also roared, bows and crossbows, spears, broadswords, and arrow feathers cooperated with each other to kill the Huns under their horses.

"Kill!" Min Zhuang yelled after hearing the shout, dropped the package and luggage, picked up the pole and bench again, and rushed out of the house.

People from various parties regrouped at the south gate, with all sorts of strange weapons in their hands, but the same anger on their faces.

Those who insult my brother, kill!

Those who bully my wife and daughter, kill!

Whoever offends me in the Central Plains, kill!

They are roaring, they are shouting!All the soldiers were red-eyed, and the people in the city also tried their best.

Invaders like wolves, today, all the soldiers and civilians in Changyang will make you come and go!

Duke Dingguo led his troops back to the city wall. In the fierce cold wind, he saw Feng Jingde picking up a bloody head with a spear.He sank into his dantian, and his voice was like a bell: "The Xiongnu have been defeated, put down your weapons!"

Seeing that the head belonged to their leader Boer Jijin Haishan, the remnants of the Xiongnu immediately lost their will to fight again. They covered each other and quickly withdrew from Changyang Pass.

"Aha~~~" There were cheers inside and outside the city.They won, they kept their homeland!

The gates of the city were opened wide to welcome the reinforcements.Feng Jingde rode his horse into the city, his eyes passed by everyone, he saw his father and brother butler, but he didn't see Zhao Yuansong.He searched back and forth among the crowd again, but still couldn't find anyone else, so he couldn't help but frown.
