{Thank you for the monthly pass of my friend Langli Little White Dragon and my friend Shi Wotang Master} "Inappropriate" Ji Bao waved his hand to stop: "The so-called one drum, and then decline, three and exhaustion, now the drum is through, it is the time when the morale is the strongest, if you get off the horse to clean up, you will lose all your spirit, and within three days, the Tuoba clan will come from behind, when our army has no food and grass, no reinforcements outside, it will fall into a desperate situation of being attacked by the enemy, so it can only be a blow, regardless of the cost to break through the Ming army's defense line, in this way, in order to fight a way out."
Everyone understands what Ji Bao said, but in his heart, he is holding his breath and is depressed, and the dignified Zhao Tieqi has been forced to come here In the final analysis, it was also because of Shi Hu's defeat, nearly 100,000 elites were wiped out, and Zhao Guo also turned sharply from the peak of its heyday.
Shi Hong felt the subtle change in the atmosphere, and suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Soldiers, today's battle is related to my Great Zhao Guoyun, and it is also related to our life and death.
"Unwilling, unwilling" Ji Bao and Zhao Lu took the lead in chanting, and the soldiers behind them also raised their arms and shouted in unison.
"Good" Shi Hong said loudly in that immature voice: "My generation rose in the troubled times, how can I take it with my head, even if I die, I have to pull a few cushions, today I am alone to the sky, this life, and the Ming people will not die, I am a big Zhao warrior, only brave and brave."
Today, it is the time for you to serve the country with bravery, only by sacrificing your life to fight, your family members in Xiangguo and Hebei can enjoy peace, and only the warriors who die on the battlefield can be worthy of being martyrs, so that you and I can fight to defend the king, protect your family, and defend the Zhao, and be loyal to the king."
"Loyal to the King" "Loyal to the King" In an instant, the morale of the Karma army soared, and the fanatical jiqg was burning, and at this time, they were no longer afraid of death, and death was a supreme glory Some of the troops attacking the mountain were obviously wounded by arrows, and they should have retreated to the rear to bandage and treat, but they didn't, they directly pulled out arrows, and blood sprayed into them, laughing.
There are also people who have been shot in the vital position, but when they die, they have to run a few more steps forward, and throw their blades at the enemy with all their might.
This cheered up, the battle was suddenly fierce, and the casualties of the Ming army soldiers also increased, Ren Hui couldn't help but say: "King, the people are really not afraid of death, I didn't expect Shi Hong to have this trick at a young age." ” Yang Yan shook his head and said: "It's nothing more than a dying struggle, Shi Hong is not the overlord of Chu, and our army is not the Qin general Wang Li, and it is impossible to break the cauldron and sink the boat, not to mention that our army is not fighting head-on with the enemy, there is terrain to follow, you see how long his morale can last." ” On the hillside, a calm and composed, down the hillside, there is also an optimistic atmosphere, feeling the momentum of the rainbow, Zhao Lu bent his fingers and praised: "The prince is really smart, the morale of the soldiers is high, and it is not a problem to break the stone fortress of the Ming army." ” Shi Hong said with a good color: "At the beginning, the Ming army set up an ice fortress under Puyang City to block the reinforcements of our army, but no matter how good the strategy is, how can it not be guarded, in fact, it is not difficult to break him, only brave ears, lonely to inspire morale, the soldiers are desperate, with one as ten, there will be good news soon." ” The generals nodded again and again, smiling slightly, their eyes full of anticipation.
But Shi Hong's words are light, the layers of stone barriers are so easy to break, even if a layer is conquered at any cost, there are still behind, as if there is no end, and compared with the original Puyang City, because of the Lu County area, the mountains are from low to high, and the higher you go, the more difficult it is to attack.
Of course, the Ming army came one step earlier and had plenty of time to improve the defensive line, which also increased the difficulty of the attack.
As time passed, Shi Hong's face became more and more gloomy, and his own soldiers, because they couldn't attack for a long time, completely lost the momentum that came and went like the wind at the beginning, which cast a shadow on his heart.
Ji Bao was also worried: "The momentum of the soldiers is not as good as before, the Ming army rejected me with a strong crossbow, it is indeed difficult to break through, it is better to withdraw the troops in Mingjin, and then make the next step to deal with it." ” Shi Hong also knew that it would be difficult to break through the stone fortress of the Ming army again, and the color of struggle flashed, so he shouted: "Mingjin" "Boom" The gong shook the sky, almost breaking people's eardrums, the people retreated like a tide, the scene was chaotic, and some people were even trampled to death by their own companions, and the monstrous morale of the coming time had been wiped out by the grinding and foreign-style battle.
The Ming army did not take advantage of the victory to catch up, but just shot fiercely on the back, and after the Ming army retreated, they cleaned up the battlefield in twos and threes.
There was a dead silence around Shi Hong, and everyone understood that they couldn't attack the most powerful today, and there was no hope for the future.
After a while, Shi Hong took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "It's not a pity for you and I to die, but if I die, Da Zhao is afraid that the country will not be far away, my lords, can't our 100,000 troops break through the blockade of the Ming army?"
The seriousness of the situation is not unknown to everyone, but the terrain of Bingzhou can be understood as a cage, with Taihang in the east, Luliang in the west, Yanmen in the north, and the Yellow River in the south.
There is a Tuoba Department in the north to chase close, retreating to the north is obviously not feasible, to the west must cross eight hundred miles of Luliang, in the middle of winter, only with two or three days of surplus grain, over Luliang Mountain, there are a few people who can survive, not to mention that the Ming army is also a pure cavalry, once he retreats, he will chase, three or two days have passed, the rations are eaten up, and finally he still dies.
"It's all Cheng Yao dog thieves who instigated the king to let us enter the state, and I am in a desperate situation."
One of the generals cursed hatefully, ignoring Shi Hong's presence.
Shi Hong's face changed, but looking at the indignant look of the generals around him, he didn't have a seizure after all, after all, he had no prestige in the army, and his power came from the identity of the prince Ji Bao saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly played a round: "Cheng Gong's strategy is not a big problem, the key is that he did not take Guangwu in time, if he breaks Guangwu early, and then takes Yanmen, the situation will be very different, it is too late to say anything now, and the general thinks that he should build siege equipment such as wooden donkeys and arrow blocking vehicles, and the whole army will be dispatched, or there may be a glimmer of life" Shi Hong didn't have much confidence in this, but there was no way to do it, so he reluctantly waved his hand: "Order, cut down trees nearby, and build siege equipment" In fact, the production of the equipment itself is not difficult, they are all stupid guys, and they can meet the requirements of sturdiness and sturdiness, and the difficulty lies in the production of wheels.
The wheels should be spoked, the edges in contact with the ground should be fitted with strong hoops, and the wheels should be fastened to the axles with wedges, and the most important thing is round.
Therefore, the lighter archery cart was actually abandoned, such wheels could not be built in three or five days, and under normal circumstances, the expedition often had to bring spare wheels, which made the army only build wooden donkeys.
The wooden donkey does not have too many requirements for the wheel, just put two thick round piers on the sturdy trunk, which is easy to say, but it is still a troublesome thing to do, because the north is dry and rainless, and the state has experienced decades of war, the thick trees are almost cut down, and the tree is not thick enough, the wheels are not big enough, and the huge wooden donkey is pushed in the rugged valley, it is easy to knock on the ground, and it is difficult to move an inch.
And the Ming army choked the mouth of the valley, and if they wanted to cut wood, they could only run farther away, which invisibly slowed down the progress.
Three days passed in a flash, and the army only built less than 20 wooden donkeys, and each wooden donkey covered 100 people and followed 50 people, which could only launch an attack with a scale of 3,000 people, which was obviously not enough for the Ming army The lazy sunlight projected down, the soldiers were piled up in the east and a beach in the west, beating the wooden planks weakly, their faces were numb, and they were monks for a day and hit the clock for a day, and the camp was filled with a palpitating dead air.
Since three days ago, when the attack on the valley failed, but more than 10,000 people were lost, the atmosphere of despair has spread in the army, and as the days passed, the siege equipment was still in the pile of planks, and many people realized that they were in the catastrophe.
Shi Hong's heart was irritable, and he turned his head to look north from time to time, the Tuoba Department should also come, but what is even worse is that from today onwards, the generals will officially run out of food, and dinner will kill horses to satisfy hunger Killing horses is a nightmare for a cavalry unit, horses are not only the most important equipment, but also the relatives and comrades-in-arms of soldiers, in the long-term relationship, people and horses have been in a relationship, killing horses to satisfy hunger, indicating that the situation is sinister to the point of no return, and the blow to the morale of the army is extremely heavy.
In fact, Shi Hong didn't think about escaping, but the cage-like state cut off his extravagant hopes.
Even if he ran away, the Ming army only needed to be dozens of miles away, and the drag could drag him down, and at the same time, his horse feed was almost finished, although the hay was everywhere, but the horses could not only eat grass, but also eat beans, otherwise they would not have the strength to run.
With no hope of escaping, Shi Hong sent a war letter yesterday to invite him to fight, but he was returned intact.
The generals looked at the north in a daze, and no one knew how to get out of the predicament.
The howling north wind blew in the face, and there was a hint of noise in the wind, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen, and in a few moments, there was a slight tremor in the northern earth, and the soldiers who had been sitting on the ground, or who had the strength to lean against the roots of the trees, all climbed up.
Due north, a black line is becoming clear from blur, covering the entire field at a very fast speed, this is the Tuoba cavalry, nearly 60,000 people, stopped at about twenty miles away from the village, and the first female general is the lord of the Tuoba clan, Weishi "Plop Plop" Shi Hong turned his head to see that individual soldiers were as pale as earth, and they sat on the ground with their butts, and suddenly said angrily: "Shame on people, stand up for Lonely, what is the fear of the defeated generals?"
The soldiers hurriedly got up, but the calves were still trembling "Whew" Shi Hong exhaled heavily, he was actually flustered in his heart, and adjusted his emotions by exhaling his breath, the strength of the Tuoba clan was not strong, such as in normal times, he was confident that he would annihilate Tuoba one-on-one and seize the grain and grass materials, but there was still a Ming army behind him, so that he did not dare to act rashly. 。
