Chapter 33
Haocheng is not an important military town, but it should not be underestimated. It can connect the north and the south, and it can be regarded as the only place for Dayan to march south.Of course, Da Ming is not ignorant of the importance of Haocheng, so Haocheng has tens of thousands of troops stationed all year round, and with its high and solid walls, it is considered difficult to conquer.

Zuo Houde led his soldiers to station three miles away from Haocheng, and ordered his captain to go to the camp to discuss.

"General, Hao City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and we don't have enough troops, how can we overcome it?"

Zuo Houde smiled and said: "Wait, you will know why I have to be stationed three miles away."

The left and right captains shook their heads and said they didn't know.

Zuo Houde smiled and said: "This place is still three miles away from Haocheng, and there are high mountains to cover it. At this time, Haocheng must not know that I am coming. We have marched all the way, and the soldiers must be tired. Tell your subordinates to rest now. At night, I waited for the army to advance carefully, the sky was cloudless, today is the fifteenth day, the moonlight will be bright tonight, take advantage of the moonlight to attack the city tonight, we will be energetic, the defenders will be exhausted, and we will be able to conquer !"

At night, it really is bright moonlight.Zuo Houde stayed in Zhuo County for four years and hunted all the year round. He also learned a lot from the hunters, and he was able to see some celestial phenomena.

Zuo Houde led his men and marched carefully, not afraid of being discovered by the enemy, but the later the discovery, the better for Zuo Houde and others.The soldiers under him formed an evenly spaced formation, holding shields and walking slowly, Zuo Houde led the way.

The distance of three miles is not far, there is darkness along the way, coupled with the silence, one mile away, the enemy army on the city found Zuo Houde's army, and at this time the defenders in the city slowly woke up , but tired.

Zuo Houde took a look and ordered the soldiers to speed up a lot, but they still carried shields and marched gradually, and the distance between the shapes was neat.

From time to time, sergeants who were hit by arrows in their legs and feet fell to the ground with a muffled grunt. They crouched still and held shields to cover their torso and head.

Before the defenders in the city were completely thrown into the battlefield, Zuo Houde and others rushed to the gate of the city. Fortunately, Zuo Houde had already inquired about the situation. There was no moat in Haocheng, so the broken city pillar was sent Useful.

Of course, Zuo Houde and the others did not put all their hopes on the pillars that broke the city. They still used the ladder to attack the city. Zuo Houde took the lead and climbed up the ladder, and then protected himself with heavy armor, and the shield in his hand also protected the whole body. There are many key points in the body, using both hands and feet, it doesn't take long to rush up the city wall.

Shouted: "The first climber is Zuo Houde of Youzhou!"

The soldiers in the city also shouted to the audience: "Cai!"

On the city wall, Zuo Houde charged forward with a shield in his hand, like an ox plowing the field. Pushed and shoved, the defenders fell to the city wall one after another, picked up another shield, leaned forward to protect his whole body, and continued to charge.

On the contrary, after that, more soldiers climbed up on the city wall. It was Zuo Houde who had rushed to the flag of the defenders. He shot down the city wall with a shield, drew his sword and slashed. The defender tried his best to protect it. The battle flag fluttered in the eyes of the sergeants on both sides: "If you don't fall now, when will you wait!"

Not long after, the soldiers under the city even broke through the city gate. A school lieutenant took the lead and rushed into the city, and the defenders in the city broke into a group. At this time, there is no need to motivate, the whole army will try their best to chase the defeated enemy.

Zuo Houde didn't have the strength to chase him anymore. He sat on the wall, picked up a pot of water to drink, and held the bloody scab on his face with his left hand. There were already military doctors rushing to bandage the wounded soldiers.

The battle was over in a short while.

According to the statistics of the battle results after the war, the siege was so smooth that Zuo Houde didn't expect it, so Zuo Houde couldn't wait to see the results of the battle!
Beheaded [-] people and captured [-] people. Seeing this, Zuo Houde frowned. How could he be such a person? Let’s continue reading. He trampled to death [-] people. You will know the reason right away. Thinking of trampling each other to death so many people!
"Go to some soldiers and ask, why so many people died?" Zuo Houde said to his personal guards.

After a while, Zuo Houde understood what happened after listening to what the soldiers said. It turned out that this was the impact on the city when Zuo Houde and others were first discovered a mile away.

At that time, most of the defenders in the city were sleeping soundly. Suddenly they heard such a loud noise that there was almost a "battle scream". Attacked the city wall, and then broke the city gate.

As a result, those soldiers who had just calmed down were stimulated again. All of a sudden, all the negative emotions of fear, tension, and death emerged. The city was in chaos, a stampede occurred, and countless casualties occurred.

Zuo Houde felt a little lucky when he heard it. After all, the siege was affected by this, and the casualties were greatly reduced.After ordering the left and right to be optimistic about the pawns, they sent people to Dingcheng to inform the news.

After the messenger delivered the news to Dingcheng, it was already noon of the second day.

"Break Hao City overnight! Great! What a show-off general, he really raised the prestige of our army!" Zhennan General Li Anguo said.

"Decree that within ten days, I will break through Mobei City. Tell General Yangwei to return to Dingcheng, and I will immediately send someone to hand over Haocheng."

When Zuo Houde waited for Dingcheng's military order again, accompanied by the troops who came to garrison, after the handover between the two sides, Zuo Houde led the army back to Dingcheng.

……

Daming was conquering the Northern Army camp. At this time, Lu Xiaoxian received the news that Hao City had been destroyed.He couldn't help muttering: "Attack Haocheng at night, what a great general! Send the order, go to Haocheng quickly, how do I lose it, how do I get it back."

After Zuo Houde's army returned to Dingcheng, Dingcheng's army had already begun to attack the city - Mobei City, that important border town of Ming Dynasty, has been facing Dingcheng far away, just like Zuo Houde before. The purpose of conquering Dingcheng is to prevent the support from the rear of Mobei City, so that the army can take Mobei City and go south smoothly.

After entering the city, Zuo Houde went directly to the camp of the Chinese Army to report.

"The last general Zuo Houde met the general" Zuo Houde directly saluted General Zhennan with his fists in his hands.

"General Zuo worked hard to break Hao City." Li Anguo helped Zuo Houde up and encouraged him again.

"General Yangwei, you have already attacked Mobei City twice today, but you failed to capture it! I wonder what General Yangwei thinks?" Zuo Houde was still thinking about how to get a hand in the great contribution of "Mobei City" Unexpectedly, Li Anguo asked Zuo Houde directly.

"The general is willing to give it a try!" Zuo Houde cupped his hands.

"Okay! General Yang Wei is willing to give it a try!" Li Anguo clapped his hands and agreed with Zuo Houde's words!
