Chapter 176: A thief for a day is a thief for life
"Dao Muji... General Xu is a good soldier!" Gao Shun praised Xu Huang.
Darkness is also a word with a completely subversive meaning.
This word comes from "Zhuangzi Dasheng", which means that a good cockfighting should be like a wooden chicken, full of concentration and restrained spirit, so it is regarded as a state of military training by military strategists.
When the sergeant was trained into a wooden chicken and turned himself into a part of the army, then the army was trained into it.
This is the case with Gao Shun's camp. He thought that only he could train such a soldier, but he didn't expect to see another one here. Although the soldiers below were not as good as the camp he carefully selected, they still had the ability to succeed.
After all, these are just ordinary soldiers.
Xu Huang was instantly turned into pride when Gao Shun was given such a hand.
Warriors are easy to coax.
"The university lieutenant has been awarded a lot. How many days will it take to arrive in Luoyang for such troops?"
"If it doesn't rain, ten days will be enough!"
"Okay! Then I'll wait for the good news in Chang'an! Xu Xian, Bai Tu, Zheng Ding, you three come up!" Xu Huang shouted to the bottom, and the three officers standing in front immediately ran to the stage.
"This is Gao Shun High School Captain, the new deputy commander, this is Zhang Ji, the new staff officer. These two are great talents appointed by the general himself! Especially the high school captain, you all know the name of the trap camp!
The captain of the university and staff officer Zhang, these three are the three battalions commanders of our 16th Army, and the three battalions will carry out this mission this time."
The three of them all heard of Gao Shun. After all, this was the general commanding general under the former famous Wen Hou. What's more, now he is the deputy commander, and he is their superior.
The flowers bloomed at both ends, each with one branch. Here, Xu Huang and others were preparing for the troops, while over there was Chen Sheng thinking about how to make the brothers survive as much as possible in the upcoming siege battle.
"Person Chen, I think the army camp has almost been built. When will it attack the city tomorrow?"
Just as Chen Sheng was blowing the mountain breeze and watching Shangxian not far away thinking about problems, an annoying voice came into his ears.
The owner of this voice is naturally Liu Xi, the military supervisor sent by Liu Pan.
Liu Xi is Liu Pan's uncle in terms of seniority, but there are too many people in the Liu clan, and it's really endless to talk about relatives. In fact, Liu Pan is just a captain of his personal soldiers.
"There are still equipment needed to be built to siege. Look at the terrain of Shang County, how dangerous the terrain is. If you don't prepare, you will die..."
Chen Sheng pointed forward and followed his hand and saw that the Danshui was blocked by a mountain and divided into two strands, the mainstream went west and the tributary went east.
Along these two rivers, you can see a Chengguan each. The Chengguan to the west is about 500 meters wide, and the one to the east is even narrower, only 200 meters.
Such a short wall naturally makes it convenient for the defense side. In addition, the Jinshan in the middle can be condescending and dispatching back and forth, making Shangxian’s city defense extremely sturdy.
"When will Captain Chen attack the city? He is not going to be planning to attack the city when General Liu arrives later? He may have lost his position as a pioneer...
However, how did Master Chen do it? It’s not up to me..."
"Hmph! I will investigate the enemy's virtuality tomorrow. Okay, I still have military affairs, so I'll say goodbye!"
Liu Xi, who wanted to ask for bribes, was snatched by Chen Sheng, and his hands were trembling with anger.
"Okay, Jiangxia thief, wait! I will ask you to kneel down and beg me!"
Chen returned to the military camp angrily and happened to see Chen Ke bringing a few people over.
"Chen Ke, what's wrong with inquiring about it? Who is stationed in Shang County?"
"I found a woodcutter and found out clearly. The current guard is Zhang Xiu, who is Zhang Ji's nephew, the one who is known as the King of Guns of the North."
"Zhang Xiu?" Chen Sheng smacked his tongue slightly, "I remember didn't you say that Zhang Xiu had been promoted to deputy commander for his merits and was about to take over his uncle's rank? Such a person is actually stationed here?
It seems that Hebei has been prepared for our actions...How many people are in the city?"
But I was not prepared, even my brother was prepared by them...
Chen Ke complained in his heart and said, "I don't know the specific details, but I think there are three or five thousand people. After all, he is a deputy commander. Zhang Ji has no son and only this nephew. I don't think he will feel sorry for the soldiers."
"...It seems that tomorrow can only be tested first. Tell your brothers that tomorrow is smart. If you fail to succeed, it is best to save your life!"
"promise!"
——The next morning
"Beat the drum to attack the city!!"
With the rumbling drums, a group of infantry shouted and rushed forward with the ladders built yesterday. Behind them were archers, ready to provide cover for the infantry in front.
Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps.
Woo~Woo~Woo~Woo~
With the sound of desolate horns, a rain of arrows flew out from behind Shang County. Chen Sheng only had a little visual inspection and found that this was at least a rain of arrows that could only shoot thousands of archers.
The rain of arrows, the rain of arrows, the arrows were like rain. Hundreds of soldiers who came forward to test the reality and reality quickly raised their shields or hid behind the soldiers with shields to block them. However, many people were still nailed to the ground by arrows falling from the sky and died on the spot.
This is not over yet, and then there are rumbling sounds, huge rock blasts flying out. There is actually a catapult in this small mall?
The shield has a way to face arrows, but when facing the stone bullet, the shield simply increased the area of attack. Many people squatted behind the shield and didn't even know what they were attacking themselves, and their brains burst out, and their bones were broken and their tendons broke.
"Ming Jin! Ming Jin!!"
Chen Sheng quickly ordered that the soldiers beside him were about to call out gold, but Liu Xi pushed them away.
"Don't be allowed to mingjin! Chen Sheng, your soldiers didn't even get the city wall, and just wanted to retreat. This is how you become a pioneer, is this how you test it?
I tell you that without my order, no one is allowed to retreat, otherwise I will sue General Liu and Liu Envoy to punish you for escape in the last battle!”
"What?" Chen Sheng looked at the battlefield. His countless brothers were smashed to death and shot to death under the city gate. The wailing and screaming made his eyes red.
He was confused and went forward to beat Liu Xi, but was pulled by Chen Ke and others.
"Don't worry about him, Mingjin! Brother, he is a military supervisor and cannot fight!" Chen Ke shouted loudly while hugging Chen Sheng.
Liu Xi didn't expect Chen Sheng to react so much, and couldn't help but take two steps back with fear. When he saw Chen Ke holding Chen Sheng and not letting Chen Sheng beat him, he became proud again.
"Haha, okay, it's true that you are a thief for a day and a thief for life. You, a Jiangxia thief who can't change your thief! You escaped without even getting the city wall. What's not a thief?
I tell you Chen Sheng, you are as afraid of fighting as a rat and want to hit me. I must sue you at General Liu and Envoy Liu!"
"I'll beat you to death!" Chen Sheng kicked hard, and his shoes flew directly to Liu Xi's face. Liu Xi wouldn't have thought that Chen Sheng had such a unique hidden weapon. The shoes slowly slid down from his face, and a huge shoe print appeared on his face. The people around him couldn't help laughing.
"You...you wait!!"
Liu Xi covered her face and fled, and Chen Shengjun finally retreated.
