Chapter 130 Guo Pocheng
Guo Shao looked at the north in the morning light and thought silently: The noble queen and the beautiful talisman, I will not let you down.
The morning light dispels the fog, and the rising sun brings warmth to the earth; just like Guo Shao’s excitement at this moment, he wants to praise all this. It is the sun that makes life, and it is the fragile life that makes the earth lively and enchanting. Although they are short and fragile, they try their best to bloom with beauty at every moment.
He turned to the generals around him and said, "War will kill many people, but history is a history of war. Human beings learn to use stone tools when they learn to use war. Without going through war, there will be no real peace!"
After hearing this, Yang Biao replied: "It's just that when he is a soldier, he is just eating food."
Guo Shao: "..."
Yang Biao, who is a slut, no one thinks you are a mute if you don’t speak!
Outside the city of Haozhou (now Linhuaiguan Town, Fengyang County, Anhui Province), a whole row of soldiers held horns and bulged their cheeks, "Woo..." The vigorous trumpet broke through the sky. "Dongdongdongdong..." A big man waved his double hammers to hit the drum in front of the erected drum.
A circling eagle in the air was startled and rushed into the deep space in the distance.
"Swish!" Luo Yanhuan, who was in the east of the city, drew his sword and raised it into the air. A square embroidered tiger flag in front slowly tilted forward, parallel to the ground. The tiger on the flag was laid flat and swung in the wind, and suddenly it was like a tiger lying on the ground, ready to leaps up at any time. "Ao!" It seemed that a roar appeared faintly in the noise.
"The Zhou army will win!" A shout opened the prelude to the attack.
The crowd shouted, and the sounds resounded through the sky, shaking the mountains and rivers. The crowds of people, iron armor, siege hammers, ladders, and crossbows began to slowly rush towards the city walls, like floods, like sea tides!
Luo Yanhuan held the hilt nervously and touched the shoulder scarf on his neck with one hand. The red silk was actually embroidered with petals. It was something from Mrs. Luo's hand.
He has been poor for many years and has now been promoted to the military chief and serves as the governor. He can get a considerable salary when he returns to Beijing. His wife and concubine will definitely say that Ah Lang is so powerful! Luo Yanhuan widened his eyes and gritted his teeth to hope to survive this battle. He and countless people walked through the mist, facing the morning light and walked towards the gate of Haozhou City.
...The thick smoke from Haozhou was filled with firelight soaring into the sky, and arrows were like rain. The rockets flying in the sky were like groups of fireflies.
Emperor Chai Rong led a team of civil and military officials, and rode his horse and ran around the periphery. Looking at the scene, there were attacking people everywhere. People said that Guo Shao was ruthless and could he not die in such a large area of attacking the city on the whole day? If he was exhausted every day, the Hu Jie Army would be wiped out in half a month!
However, Chai Rong did not intend to interfere with how Guo Shao attacked the city, but just watched.
At this time, he turned around and pointed to the Zhou army warship gathered in the north of the city and said, "I ordered Han Tong to move the catapult cart to the ship and hit the water gate to reinforce the Hujie army to attack the city."
"Abide by the order!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly came over with a fast horse and shouted: "The Zhou army won a great victory, and the Hujie army captured Dongmen Yuecheng!"
Everyone was shocked after hearing this, and Wei Renpu sighed, "It took less than an hour to break the door? Didn't Haozhou be guarded by Chai Kehong?"
Chai Rong laughed "haha" and looked back and said, "Guo Shao is really capable of breaking the city. It's better to call him Guo Pocheng! Let's go to Dongmen Yuecheng to reward the soldiers in person."
The soldiers laughed.
The minister could not persuade him, so Chai Rong and his men came to the front line. When he went up to the Yuecheng Tower, he saw that there were people all over the city, and the thick smoke and arrows were all in front of him, all of them were elite soldiers on the left wing of the Hu Jie Army... It is really rare to directly attack the city with elite soldiers.
When Guo Shao heard this, he came to visit the city and said excitedly: "Lu Mengjun, the general of the Tang army defending the city, and Wang Chong, the general under the command, mutiny when we attacked the city. The city gate was in chaos. Our troops took the opportunity to use the siege hammer to break open the city gate and rushed up to capture Yuecheng!"
"Where is Wang Chong?" Chai Rong asked.
A Tang army general came forward to pay a visit and said, "General Mok greeted the Emperor of Great Zhou! Lu Mengjun was cruel by nature and killed innocent people every day. In the past, his aide Zhou Duan stepped on the black veil and cursed. Uncle Mok was dissatisfied but endured it, and just waited for this day to call him good-looking!"
"It's great, I will reward you very much." Chai Rong said happily.
Guo Shao suddenly shouted: "The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is here to look at his brothers. If you don't have to live, when will you wait?"
The soldiers shouted: "Fight for the Emperor!"
The soldiers fought for the first place and attacked the female wall at the connection between the Yue City Wall and the main city wall, but the fire was poured on it, and the fire soared into the sky. Everyone carried sandbags to put out the fire, and the soldiers who were good at shooting all shot with bows and arrows.
Under the main city gate, Zhou soldiers carried the fierce turbulent oil seized from Shouzhou and poured it on the city gate. However, a thick layer of mud was pasted on the city gate, which could not be destroyed for a long time. The siege hammer was pulled into the city city, "Bang! Bang!" The huge impact sounded like a drum.
The catapult cart was also dragged in from the gate of the city gate among the surging troops, and the Tang army wall was in chaos. Two Tang soldiers raised a bucket of hot turbulent oil, and suddenly a rocket hit the oil barrel with a "whistle".
"Boom!" A large ball of fire rose into the sky, and two Tang soldiers screamed, and the oil barrel fell directly on the city wall, with fire and thick smoke rolling. The Tang soldiers around them scattered and rushed to escape.
The Zhou army soldiers took the stairs to climb up the female wall of the main city wall in the thick smoke. The Tang army soldiers on it were thunderous, and there were countless Zhou army soldiers, and more and more people climbed up.
Seeing that the Tang army was incompetent and had no rules in the battle, Guo Shao turned around and said to a general: "Transfer Zuo You, order the Third Army cavalry to enter the city and prepare to assault the city!"
He bid farewell to the emperor and came to the temporary command team to transfer to the command team. More than a dozen military orders were issued in a row. Zuo You was writing quickly, and while reminding his subordinates to check the size of the font, he kept wiping his sweat. The expression on his face could no longer find the calm smile, and he was so nervous. The military orders were issued very slowly and troublesome. Guo Shao realized that this set of things was not so easy to use... After this war, you must learn from other generals and follow the customs and use the experience methods of this era.
Soon, the young and strong man Deng Fei first entered the city, and hundreds of elite cavalry under his command rushed into the city. The troops were riding and shooting at the wall, and the "crackling" was very dense.
At this moment, the city gate was suddenly knocked open by a siege hammer! The city gate opened, and some Zhou army infantry inside were standing inside, and they were opened by them. Deng Fei outside rode his horse without saying a word and led the cavalry to rush into the city first.
The sound of rapid footsteps sounded behind, and Yang Biao led the Third Army infantry to trot. The army was in a row, with countless iron helmets flashing, and the cherry guns were like forests, which were particularly majestic. The tiger flag was flying above the crowd, and the letter was written: The Third Army of the Tiger Army on the left wing.
According to military orders, the vanguard of the Zhou army, the infantry and cavalry first advanced directly from the central avenue to the depth of the city from the central avenue. Almost all cities in the world with the functions of military strongholds have two spacious main roads, north and west, in order to mobilize troops everywhere without obstruction during defense.
Deng Fei's troops rushed into the avenue very smoothly, and more Zhou army infantry came from behind.
At this moment, a "bang" sounded in the streets and alleys on both sides!
Deng Fei secretly said something wrong, and sure enough, the straw burning in the air and bamboo tubes emitting white smoke flew over. When looking at the left and right sides, the cart pulled by the horse was whipped up by some soldiers. After a moment, a fire ignited on the cart and smoke rolled. A group of Tang soldiers rushed from both sides.
"Kill!" Deng Fei shouted, and led his army to fight. At this time, white smoke filled the streets, thick smoke rose, and the soldiers kept coughing and couldn't tell anything.
The shouts of killing on both sides covered the waves, and I don’t know how many Tang soldiers rushed from all directions. Everyone fought on the avenue and could not see anything.
At this moment, a man riding a horse suddenly ran and shouted: "We are ambushing! Marshal Guo ordered the entire army to retreat!"
Deng Fei rode his horse and followed the voice and shouted, "Where is the military order?"
The man riding a horse said: "The war is in critical condition, and General Guo is just sending the last future to pass on the orders."
"Our army size!" Deng Fei lifted the cherry gun in his hand, and kicked the horse's belly. Seeing this, the man turned around and wanted to run, but he was slowing down. Deng Fei's war horse had accelerated and came up and shot him in the vest. The man screamed and fell to the ground from the horse.
Deng Fei shouted: "The enemy's plan to disagree, and falsely pass on military orders! Tell the army to stop paying attention to anything and kill everyone you see!"
...The Xiangdu College Qi Tuo led his army and the First Army Wang Zhang's troops to rush into the city. A large number of people advanced along the street to the left wing and were also ambushed. Some Tang army cavalry pretended to be Zhou's army taking advantage of the smoke and shouted and spread rumors. Some soldiers panicked and retreated in large numbers, and met the rear army, causing chaos.
The elite troops of the Tang army broke out, and Qi Tuo and other troops were divided from the main force, and were besieged by ambushers from the front, back and left and right. Seeing this, Qi Tuo was very anxious and led his men to rush forward. When the people around him saw that he did not run away, they also fought desperately.
Qi Tuo stood in the army and killed more than ten arrows in a row. He also sent an order: "Everyone is united and fight to the death without retreating!"
Guo Shao came to the gate of the main city of the East Gate and dispatched troops to guard the gate. The generals shouted: "Those who retreat to the gate of the front will be killed immediately!"
At this time, there were fires everywhere in the city, and thick smoke rolled in chaos, and screams were heard one after another. Guo Shao ignored the military chaos and kept mobilizing elite troops from all the left wings of the Hujie Army to enter the city first, and then let the soldiers and horses of the town follow up. A general stood on the wall and shouted: "If you can't find the upskirts after entering the city, you can fight on their own. Generals at all levels decide at the moment and die in Haozhou City!"
Some people ran out of the fire, but were immediately shot and trampled by the riots. The situation was terrible. Thousands of elite infantry and cavalry soldiers of the Hujie Army continued to enter the city from the east gate. "Click, click, click..." A large number of infantry passed by the city gate like a torrent of black steel. The neat footsteps, drums and trumpets merged into one.
Guo Shao turned around and said to Luo Mengzi: "Go to find Zuo You and ask him to send three military orders in succession to strictly order the left-wing Qi Tingyi (Qi Tuo) and Wang Zhang to open the south gate at all costs so that Gao Huaide's troops can enter the city!"
