Chapter 16 Left Front Pioneer Luo Lie
The army set out, and Zuo Houde and others also set out with the army.
At the beginning of the month, the soldiers in the camp distributed armor and combat equipment, and were ordered by Yan Shen.
Zuo Houde was wearing heavy armor, with an iron sword hanging in front of his waist, a long bow behind him, holding a rein with his left hand, holding a long iron spear with his right hand, and riding a tall brown-yellow horse, following Luo Lie. There were Luo Lie's personal guards on both sides, and he was very serious all the way.
Luo Lie's troops were the vanguard of the left. He received a written military order three days ago, which was to attack the Acropolis within three days.
A battalion of men came outside the Acropolis. It was almost sunset and they set up camp and rested overnight.
The morning drums were resounding, and the soldiers in the battalion wore armor and started training in the battalion with full arms. Most of them were training in a queue to strengthen military discipline and not carry out physically intensive training.
Luo Lie discussed with Sima and others in the camp in the tent,
"Although the Acropolis has few soldiers, the city is strong. Even if we can capture it, our army will have to lack major generals."
"The military order requires me to capture it in three days, and I think one day is enough." Luo Lie said confidently.
Luo Lie looked around the tent, and the Sima of each department looked embarrassed and looked directly at everyone: "The general chose me as the vanguard, which is not only a chance for me, but also a chance for you. Today, I attack the Weicheng, and I will lead the way. If I retreat, the lords will behead my head; if you retreat, the lords will behead the heads of the lords; if the lords retreat, the lords will behead their heads; if the lords retreat, the lords will behead their heads; if the lords retreat, the lords will behead their heads; if the lords retreat, the lords will behead their heads; if the lords are like this, the lords will behead their heads. Do you know what I say?"
Simas from all departments clasped their fists together: "I wish to follow the general!"
"strike camp!"
Luo Lie waved his sword: "Beat the drum and march!"
During the battle, the formation was uniform and the shield was slowly moving, and it was impossible to charge. As expected, the defenders of the Acropolis set their bows and shoot arrows one after another.
Zuo Houde was wearing iron armor, holding a shield in one hand, following Luo Lie. The arrow duldode was nailed to Zuo Houde's big shield.
From time to time, soldiers who were shot in legs and feet fell to the ground with muffled groans, and they all squatted and held their shields to cover their torso. Their heads and robes were bypassed by them, and they could not help them.
When there is no order from the commander during the war, who dares to hold the wounded and retreat, the dead will definitely be the act of "helping the wounded and raising the wounded and returning it for entrusting the return". The criminal's seven bans and 54 orders to behead the army, and the army can just execute the military law on the spot.
Disturbing the marching ranks during attack is also a typical death penalty, and can be killed on the spot.
The seven prohibitions and fifty-four killings are the basic common sense of military officials, and it is also the content that often evaluates sergeants in the army.
If you don’t want to be executed on the spot by military law, you have to endure no matter how much pain you feel.
The walls of the Acropolis were solid, and the guard pointed at Luo Lie and shouted: "That man is the enemy general! Hurry up, shoot and kill the enemy general and reward 100,000 yuan!"
Luo Lie was willing to be the pioneer and boost morale. He wore a silver armor and surrounded his guards on both sides. The guards were condescending to each other and naturally saw it at a glance.
Seven or eight crossbow soldiers around him were fired in turn, and they hit Luo Lie's big shield several times, but they could not break the shield. Zuo Houde was beside Luo Lie, and several crossbow arrows shot into the shield in his hand.
Luo Lie saw from the gap that he was less than twenty steps away from closing the wall, and shouted: "Left and left! Stand up the formation!"
The guards Yan Zhong, Zuo Houde and others beside each other shouted in unison: "Stand!" The soldiers on both wings set up shields one after another, forming a shield wall.
The shield wall is approaching the passer-bows on the wall, and the defenders' crossbows are firing at once, and the shield wall is rumbling.
At this time, Sima, who was in the forefront, waved his hand, and a military officer led a dozen soldiers forward to rescue the soldiers who were caught in the arrow and dragged them back to the rear.
The shield formation was firmly established, and the soldiers behind the shield also began to fight back. Those who were good at using crossbows to shoot flat with crossbows, while those who were good at using bows shot, and a few screams came from the wall, and the defenders' arrow rain attack was blocked.
Luo Lie observed the wall from the gap in the shield formation and found the guard who had called out before.
Luo Lie shouted: "Left and left and right guards, follow me to attack."
Yan Zhong and Zuo Houde hung the iron mask of the evil ghost hanging on their waists on their faces: "I wish to die with the general!"
The guard general was puzzled and saw the shield formation outside the wall suddenly breaking out of the gap. More than 20 people ran out of the gap, holding a shield in one hand and Changzhu clamped the other side. Three or four armored soldiers followed behind him. Three or four armored soldiers pushed Changzhu hard. The defenders on the wall were stunned and hesitant.
So he watched Luo Lie step on the city wall first and take advantage of the force. Almost instantly, his body flew to a 14-foot-high wall. As soon as he landed, the shield in his hand smashed at a crossbow soldier. He raised his foot and reached out to grab a long spear in front of him. He stomped forward and stomped forward. The side branch of the blade cut through a person's neck and gushed blood. Luo Lie exclaimed excitedly: "The first one! Luo Lie!"
Soon, the other personal guards became the second group of people to climb the wall. Luo Lie suddenly rushed to the front of the defender's flag. When he slashed the guard general with his chest, he drew his sword and slashed. The battle flag that the guard general tried his best to protect fell in the eyes of the soldiers on both sides: "If you don't surrender at this time, when will you wait!"
As the head of the guard was provoked by Chang Ge, the defenders of the Acropolis surrendered.
Zuo Houde followed Luo Lie to review the head level, and he felt a little uncomfortable. Today, Zuo Houde sieged the city and cut down seven head levels, except for Luo Lie and Yan Zhong, he was the most.
The military merit assessment is the position of military commander, military supervisor, and military guard. Luo Lie's only responsibility is to watch and eliminate extremely bad phenomena such as cutting off the robe and head and taking advantage of merit. If there is a lawsuit for the first-level military merit, he will be able to make a case with the military official. Basically, the right and wrong can be found on the spot. Those who take advantage of merit generally have to behead and purify military discipline on the spot.
The battle time is short and the combat range is concentrated, so the military merits are quickly evaluated, and the original meritorious army is also written well.
After Luo Lie reviewed and found out that it was correct, he picked up a pen and signed it and left it to the Junzheng to file it, and began to copy the copy and report it to the rear.
In the afternoon, Luo Lie was looking at the map and asked Sima Cao: "I intend to take advantage of the victory to attack Xiangkou. How do you think about Sima Cao?"
Cao Sima did not hesitate: "General, the morale in the camp is in full swing, and it is time to attack Xiangkou."
Luo Lie simply turned around and said to Zhang and Li Sima: "I intend to lead my troops to attack Xiangkou north and leave you to guard the city when the second troops."
The second Sima clasped his fists and replied: "No!"
When Luo Lie talked with several Simas, Zuo Houde and other personal guards also heard it. Everyone was very excited. Today, the attack on the city, except for the four people injured when they climbed the city, the rest were not damaged, and each had its own achievements.
Zuo Houde just watched Luo Lie discussing with Sima in the camp, and at the same time, he secretly recorded the knowledge of placing troops and siegeing cities and land in his heart. Following Luo Lie as a personal guard, Zuo Houde learned a lot of knowledge about marching and fighting, and these things were quite rare.
All of them were Luo Lie's ten years of experience in the army. Zuo Houde could learn so easily, but it can only be said that Zuo Houde is really lucky.
The battle in the Acropolis was successful, and the soldiers responded with a loud bang, abandoning the excess military rations and marching towards the Xiangkou stronghold three or four miles north.
The terrain of Xiangkou was flat. Luo Lie looked at the terrain and said, "It's suitable for cavalry raids." He ordered his left and right guards to board the horse and raid.
There were only a few hundred people stationed in Xiangkou Camp, and the counterattack intensity was not high. More than 200 people raided quickly, Zuo Houde was in his hand, and just swept it, and there were three or four enemy troops. They stabbed, picked, and rushed for a while.
