Chapter 46 Raid
As soon as Yang Qing returned to the top of the mountain, the Qiang soldiers below launched an attack. They were not idle except for resting at the foot of the mountain. They cut down trees and made some simple wooden shields, and then attacked up the mountain according to the original formation.
At first, I saw a lot of casualties in the attack, so I was preparing to use a fire plan to burn the mountain. Now it is early winter. The dry and yellow grass on the mountain is just right to attract fire. Unexpectedly, when I attacked for the first time, I saw that the dry grass and branches within two feet of the city wall were removed. I thought that the Han general was a powerful figure. I realized this early and couldn't help but sigh in secret.
However, he thought of the inquiry sent by the chief commander outside Du'an City, and clenched his right fist hard. This time, he had to attack and take down the mountain without hesitation.
"My sons, everyone must work hard to move forward in this attack." Yu Jie, who was walking in front of the formation, shouted loudly: "The Han magistrates above, and there are Han magistrates who are bigger than the county magistrates on the top of the mountain. As long as you capture and kill them, gold, silk, slaves, etc., you choose them."
The Qiang soldiers in the besieged city of Du'an City have received news that today the county magistrate Yan Hong accompanied several high-ranking officials from Chengdu to the mountain to play. The Qiang chief commander still ordered to capture the mountain and seize the Han officials. Of course, it is also possible to kill them if necessary. He also promised that once the success, the share of the trophy obtained by the still-ranking part of the trophy will not only expand, but also allow them to choose the first batch.
This made You Jie very moved, so this time he was ruthless, holding a helmet and armor, holding a knife in his right hand and a shield in his left hand, and walked in front of the formation. Seeing that his leader not only led the way, he also promised a heavy reward, all of which were pissing off killing, shouting loudly and bravely advanced.
When he walked to the city wall, he saw that the huge rocks in his imagination did not appear, only arrows shot, and immediately realized that the Han people had used up their stones. He laughed and said, "My sons, the Han people have no big stones, follow me to rush forward." Seeing this, the Qiang soldiers promised and launched an attack without fear of death.
Seeing that the Qiang people were in great attack, Huang Xing couldn't help but sweat coldly on his forehead. However, after all, he had been on the battlefield for a long time and had participated in more intense and more difficult wars. He didn't take this seriously. He bent his bow and arrow and aimed at an armored soldier. With a whoosh, the arrow passed through the Qiang soldier's forehead in the crack of the shield. The soldiers cheered and their morale was greatly boosted.
Before the close contact was met, both sides first used crossbows to suppress it. Since they were out of business, they did not fight to face the enemy, so the twenty guards did not have five-standard arrows standard, and only carried two of them, each ten, and a total of more than 400. Half of the previous encounters had been consumed. Before the enemy was used up, the enemy had rushed to the city wall. The spearmen in the wall pierced out and took away a series of lives. However, the city wall was not high, and the Qiang people threw the prepared earthblock trees under the wall, and soon they raised the height. The Qiang people held long swords and other long weapons to fight with the Han army through the city wall. Fortunately, the Han army was located at a high place. Although the Qiang soldiers could reach them, they were still in the lower position, so the Qiang soldiers fought across the wall far more casualties than the Han army.
Just as the battle on the mountain began, the Qiang people outside Du'an City also began to attack the city. They carried the ladders that had been built and rushed towards the county town. The Ma County Ma at the top of the city quickly ordered the arrows to be fired. For a moment, the arrows were like rain, and Qiang soldiers were constantly shot. The archers of the Qiang people also kept shooting at the top of the city to cover the ladders of the city. Although their archery skills were accurate, half were bone arrows, so the number of people was not large. However, there were only more than a hundred crossbowmen in the city, which could not stop the enemy from approaching the city wall. In a short while, more than a dozen ladders were built on the city wall.
Without the order from the Ma County Commander, the Han army and the Qingshang quickly threw the wooden rocks down to prevent the enemy from climbing the ladder. Fortunately, the Ma County Commander recruited more than 300 Qingshang, and combined with the county soldiers, more than 500 people, only more than 200 fewer than the Qiang soldiers outside the city, so he could still hold on for a while.
Now the mountain is fighting at the same time, and the two armies are fighting fiercely. The Qiang soldiers are in great strength and will win. The Han army resists with the advantage of the geographical advantage, and the two sides are fighting to the point of being in a dark and hard to part.
Youjie held a big tree and gasped. He took the lead in rushing. The Qiang soldiers were greatly encouraged. More than a dozen people had crossed the city wall, causing a lot of damage to the Han army. Fortunately, with the help of the guards, the county soldiers on the second line of defense still killed the enemy. After Youjie retreated, he saw that he had not yet captured the Han army and kept shouting that his soldiers would attack fiercely. He knew that if the Han army had not been wiped out after it was dark, he would give the enemy a night of breathing time, which was unacceptable. Seeing that it was still dark for more than an hour, Youjie was extremely anxious. He looked at the terrain again, and suddenly had a plan and immediately called his personal soldiers to send orders.
Yang Qing and others were anxious when they saw two battlefields fighting so fiercely on the top of the mountain, but they couldn't do anything. For the sake of the current plan, they could only hold on until night, so that they could have a breathing moment.
Yan Hong couldn't help but lament when he saw that the soldiers in his county were suffering a lot. He thought of so many important people here. If there was an accident, he didn't know how to face it. Then he thought that whether his life could be saved was a problem, and he could still take care of the things behind him? Just as he was thinking about it and restlessly, a hidden arrow suddenly rubbed against his cheek, scaring him to sit on the ground.
Everyone was shocked and looked behind him with arrows. They saw more than a dozen Qiang soldiers climbing up from the back mountain. Several people rushed over with swords. Zhuge Guo was originally behind everyone, but then he turned to the front of the enemy. A Qiang soldier shouted and raised his sword to chop her. The sword was fast, and Zhuge Guo had no time to react. Just as he was about to die, he pulled her aside with one hand and escaped. Zhuge Guo calmed down and looked sideways and found that it was Yang Qing who saved her.
Yang Qing was shocked when he saw the enemy coming from the back mountain. He had never encountered such a critical situation, so he felt his mind blank. When the Qiang man raised his sword to kill Zhuge Guo, he happened to stand behind her. Without time to think, he pulled Zhuge Guo away with his left hand, pulled out the sword at his waist with his right hand and blocked the fatal blow. With a sound, the Qiang soldier's long sword broke and fell to the ground. It turned out that Yang Qing's sword was not an ordinary item, but a gift from Pu Yuan. It was three feet and six inches long, called Qingyuan.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Liu Bei ascended the throne, he ordered Pu Yuan to collect the iron ore of Jinniu Mountain to cast a batch of swords, among which eight of them were the highest quality. Except for Liu Bei and the three princes, the other four were given to important civil and military officials. Of course, Zhuge Liang also received one. Although the quality of the Qingyuan Sword is not as good as these eight, it is only slightly inferior. Cutting iron like mud is no problem. Seeing that Yang Qing respects him so much, Pu Yuan gave him a sword.
Most of the great Han scholars walked with swords, one for elegance and the other for self-defense. After Yang Qing got the Qingyuan, he immediately used it as his sword. Of course, he brought it with him this time, but he didn't expect it to be used.
Seeing that his long sword was not only broken, the Qiang soldier was furious and quickly changed his moves and slashed towards Yang Qing. Yang Qing had no time to change his moves and blocked him, so he had to retreat. Fortunately, the enemy's sword was broken, and he took another step back. The blade only scratched his stomach, broke his clothes, leaving a shallow scar. He didn't have time to cry out for pain, so he quickly retreated. Seeing this, the Qiang soldier was going to bully him, but fortunately the guards on the side rushed over and slashed him to the ground with a knife.
Several Qiang soldiers who raided killed a guard and injured three people, including Yang Qing. All the Qiang soldiers behind had climbed up and rushed over with shouting. After the initial panic, Yang Qing and others had already reacted. The remaining seven guards formed a round formation to protect Huang Yueying and his son, Yang Qing and Yan Hong, and Yang Qing and Yan Hong were in the middle. Yang Qing, Yan Hong and Zhuge Qiao all blocked the two women with sharp swords. The guards were all elite soldiers, strong and skillful in swordsmanship. They not only resisted the siege of the Qiang people, but also had one move in the three defensive moves.
