Chapter 1188
PS: Chapter Anti-theft, Correction tomorrow morning……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
On the embankment between Dongguan and Xiguan, it is densely packed with locusts and ants. From a distance, it seems to have become a Taoist embankment.
At night, countless torches shone the embankment like daytime, and the lights were brightly lit. Although there was fog blocking, you could still see the fires soaring into the sky dozens of miles away.
Due to the narrow terrain, although the Wei army had many soldiers, they could not launch a large-scale attack. They could only send a small group of troops to attack the two cities of Dongguan and Xiguan.
Such a siege method obviously cannot shake Dongxing's defense. The two cities of Dongguan and Xiguan are all built on the steep mountainside, with mountains and water on the back. All the ends and Liuluo only need to stick to the side facing the embankment, so there is no need to worry that the Wei army will attack.
Such a city defense battle is undoubtedly relatively easy. Although the Wei army is coming in a fierce manner, the troops that each attack is very limited, and the walls of Dongguan and Xiguan are relatively tall and strong. The Wu army is waiting for it to work. They only need to use bows and arrows to seal the attack direction of the Wei army. They keep shooting and killing Wei soldiers to prevent the Wei soldiers from approaching the Guancheng.
The Wei soldiers used shields to block the Wu army's arrows, but the dike that had just rained was very muddy, making the Wei army's advance more difficult.
When Wu Jun built the embankment, he used the red clay that is more common here. This soil has strong adhesion. It is as hard as iron when dry, and mud like glue when wet. The embankment built with this soil can effectively prevent the risk of dam collapse.
It is rainy now, and the layer of soil on the surface of the embankment has been soaked in rainwater. It is not only wet and slippery, but also very sticky. Once it falls into the mud pit, it is difficult to move forward. Many Wei soldiers are unaware of the situation and rush forward blindly. They fall into the mud pit without attention, and even half of their legs are trapped in. If there is no help from others, they will not be able to lift their feet out of the mud pit.
When the Wu army built the embankment, they did not consider using red clay to block the enemy. They used red clay more to ensure the solidity of the embankment. However, they received unexpected results at this moment, which made Liuluo and Quanduan overjoyed. It seemed that the right time and place were on their side. It was more difficult for the Wei army to break through the second city of Dongxing than to climb the sky.
The muddy roads did make the Wei army difficult to move, and the embankment was even more crowded. In order to fill the road, the Wei army had to pave some hay on the road surface, so that it could play an anti-slip role.
But even if it attacked the cities of Dongguan and Xiguan, the tall city walls made the Wei soldiers feel desperate. After all, in such a narrow place, the heavy siege equipment owned by the Wei army could not be used at all, and the Wei army could only use the most simple ladder to attack the city.
However, the Wu army defending the city was very powerful. They not only equipped with bows and arrows, but also prepared a large number of wooden and rocks. As soon as the Wei army approached the city, arrows would be fired at the same time, and both wood and stone were placed under the city. These Wei army attacking the city were either dead or injured, and they could not gain a foothold under the city, let alone attacking the city.
The Wei army was in the city with more and more corpses. The road was narrow, and when there were more corpses, it would be even more difficult for the Wei army to pass. Therefore, Han Zong, who was responsible for commanding the attack on Dongguan, ordered the bodies to be thrown down the embankment to provide better road conditions for the team behind.
Han Zong was originally the son of Han Dang, the general of the Eastern Wu. After Han Dang died, Han Zong inherited his position as General Zhaowu, commanded his troops, and guarded Wuchang. However, Han Zong was promiscuous and someone reported him to Sun Quan. Although Sun Quan did not investigate the matter in detail for Han Dang's sake, Han Zong was frightened and led thousands of people to Wei State. Wei Yong was the general and was granted the title of Marquis of Guangyang.
After surrendering to the State of Wei, Han Zong served as the governor of the front office under Zhuge Dan's account. He invaded the Eastern Wu several times and willingly worked for the State of Wei, which made Sun Quan very hateful.
It’s okay if other people come. Han Zong is the son of Han Dang, and Han Dang and Cheng Pu are old ministers of the Eastern Wu. They served in the three generations of Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Sun Quan, conquered all directions, and made many extraordinary achievements. They were the heroes of the founding of the Eastern Wu country and were highly valued by Sun Quan.
But Sun Quan did not expect that such a loyal old minister would have such a rebellious rebellion as Han Zong. Shortly after Han Dang's death, Han Zong defected to the State of Wei with Han Dang's body and his mother and wife. I don't know if Han Dang could be in peace under the slightest fountain.
If Han Dang knew about it, the coffin board would probably not be able to be suppressed. Such a traitor and unfilial person would probably be unique in the world.
After Han Zong surrendered to Wei, he was particularly active. He attacked Wu several times and harmed the people. Sun Quan hated him to the core and ordered those who killed Han Zong to reward 10,000 gold and granted thousands of households. This shows how tickled Sun Quan was towards him.
In fact, Han Zong was helpless. During the Eastern Wu period, he was the hero of Han Dang. As the second generation of officials, Han Zong naturally showed off his power and acted rampantly, so he was impeached by others.
When we arrived at Wei, although Wei would mostly use the surrendered generals of Wu, Han Zong was helpless here and could only be a person with his tail. In order to please his superior Zhuge Dan, Han Zong even did not hesitate to kill the people of the Eastern Wu to curry favor with him.
Therefore, after being appointed as the front vanguard this time, Han Zong performed more actively and enthusiastically, leading the army to attack Dongguan without any effort.
Liu Lue, who was guarding the city in Dongguan, saw Han Zong from afar, and was also very angry. Such traitorous ministers should be killed and avenged the nine clans and avenged the deathly soldiers of Jiangdong and the people of Jiangdong.
Liuliu specifically ordered the archers to gather together and shoot at Han Zong, hoping to kill him.
However, Han Zong has always been a ghost. He also knew that what he did had already aroused public anger in Jiangdong. Jiangdong soldiers all wanted to kill him quickly. Therefore, in this case, Han Zong would certainly not take risks. Although he served as a vanguard officer, he never led the way. He often hid behind the Wei army and urged the Wei army to attack.
The position Han Zong chose is often very safe. Although the Wu army in the city could see him, they were apart from each other. Even if the Wu army tried their best, they would not be able to hit him. Han Zong was careful to make the ten thousand-year-old ship, and he didn't want to lose his life in a confused manner.
When it was the army commanded by Han Zong, the charge was very strong. They launched a fierce attack on Dongguan, one after another, sacrificing themselves to death. They could not conquer during the day, and continued to fight at night at night. They would not give up until they took down Dongguan!
