Chapter 505: Siege

"My lord, it's too dangerous here for you to stay here...... Someone, escort the adults down!"

At the critical moment, the bearded general stood up and roared, and together with the guards around him, he hurriedly set up Zhu Wen and sent him down to the city.

As he spoke, another boulder fell on the top of the city, smashing a huge hole in the attic behind him.

The bearded man threw himself down, crushing Zhu Wen's slightly obese body under him, and used his body to block the attack for him, but fortunately, the boulder only hit the attic.

"Hurry up, hurry up, go quickly!"

Zhu Wen's face turned pale, and he didn't know how he got down from the city. was supported by his subordinates, and suddenly woke up, only to find that the back of his forehead was wet with cold sweat.

He didn't understand why things were so different from what he had imagined.

In his opinion, in the face of the menacing Shence army, even if his Xuanwu army can't win, it can hold out for a month, and then it's not too late for him to choose to withdraw when he has transferred his base camp.

But who would have thought that this was just the beginning, and the Xuanwu Army was defeated. The 40,000 horses were only beaten in front of others, and the boulders that flew down from the sky could not be stopped.

Who would dare to stand in the way?

What to block?

Head?

I really thought I had an iron head!

"It's over...... It's all over......"

Zhu Wen felt sad in his heart, although he understood that such an offensive of the Shence Army would not last long, but the morale blow brought by the strong momentum to the Xuanwu Army was too great, and if he wanted to hold the city next, it would be troublesome.

No one dares to use their Rou body to block this terrifying murderous weapon, but anyone who is rubbed to the corners and corners of the boulder will end up with broken limbs.

To tell the truth, trebuchets are not black technology, and they are also in the Xuanwu Army, but Zhu Wen is bulky, troublesome, and has always been rarely used, and all kinds of conventional equipment are enough to defend the city, so the only few trebuchets in the Xuanwu Army have long been in disrepair and are useless.

However, today, the Shence army bombarded the city with a full ten trebuchets in turn, completely shattering his little self-confidence, and Zhu Wen almost collapsed.

What to do, what to do?

If the city is lost again, Bianzhou will be completely exposed to the enemy, and then it will be forced to a dead end.

"No, I still have the master, where is the master, why hasn't the master made a move?" Zhu Wen woke up and yelled angrily.

The soldiers under his command looked at him blankly.

What masters?

Could it be that adults are frightened and scared into fools?

The hearts of the people trembled, and no one dared to say this.

Only Zhu Wen himself knew what was going on, the old monk had clearly promised him that he would help him win at the critical moment, but at this critical juncture, why didn't the old monk show up? Could it be that he had escaped from the battle?!

Damn old bald donkey, he said he would help me, why didn't he help?

If it weren't for the various flickering of his tongue at that time, how could he be so determined to start a war with the Shence Army?

As a result, now that the fight has started, the old thing saw that the situation was not good, and directly abandoned himself and ran?

Zhu Wen was so angry that he didn't care about anything else, gritted his teeth and said: "Guo Fan, you stay and command, and the official will go back to Bianzhou to find that old thing! Dare to lie to me Zhu someone? Very good, even if it is death, I will pull that old Wang Ba on his back! Personal guards, escort this official back!"

When the bearded general Guo Fan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was cold, is this to abandon these 30,000 soldiers and 10,000 people, including him?

But he had no room to refuse, and gritted his teeth: "My lord, even if you go, the last general will definitely be able to hold the city, so that the Shence army has nothing to do!"

"Okay, if you can hold the best, if you can't do it, then ......" Zhu Wen's face was complicated, "Then abandon the city and withdraw, give up the city, and return to Bianzhou." ”

As long as the army is in hand, he can make a comeback, and if the army is gone, it will become a fish and meat to be slaughtered.

Zhu Wen still understands this truth.

"My lord......" Guo Fan's face was excited, and he was ashamed, it seemed that he was wrong to blame the adult, but in fact, he didn't want to give up these soldiers.

Zhu Wen has calmed down: "The official is not here, everything here is under your command, so it's decided!"

He himself withdrew from Guancheng with three hundred guards and rushed towards the Bianzhou base camp.

Guo Fan took a deep breath and looked at the team escorting Zhu Wen walking away, before turning around and drawing his sword and shouting angrily: "People are in the city, I will live and die with all of you!"

……

The Divine Forces.

Seeing that there were not many people in the city who dared to look up, Li Xun asked, "How many bullet stones are left in the trebuchet?"

"Back to the general, you can also fire three more volleys. ”

"Order, the goal is to bombard the city gate instead, be sure to blast it open for me! The archers are ready to shoot! The whole army is pressed forward thirty paces! The ladder is ready!"

"Yes!"

As the orders were handed down, the entire Shence army moved, quickly and hurriedly without confusion, they don't know how many times they had practiced these steps, and how many times they had experienced them.

Liu He rode his horse to Li Xun's side and asked, "Brother Yuangong, how long do you think Zhu Wen can last?"

Li Xun shook his head: "It's hard to say, but there are a lot of people in the city, plus these forty or fifty thousand troops, men and horses, the daily consumption is a huge number, if you can't hold it, and then send troops to cut off their grain transportation channels, it is estimated that it will be a month at most." ”

Besieging but not attacking, it is the best strategy to attack the heart, and when the time comes, there is no need to make a move, and the Xuanwu army itself will open the city gate and surrender.

"But we don't have that much time. Liu He said the key point.

Li Xun smiled bitterly: "Yes, this is where the trouble is, so I can only attack." Fortunately, there are trebuchets, and the enemy's momentum has been completely suppressed by us, and we have taken the opportunity to force our way to the top of the city, and the losses can be reduced a little bit. ”

"I'm counting on Brother Wencai to bring us good news right now. Liu He said with a smile, he was referring to the five thousand men and horses led by Zhou Wu, who attacked from the enemy's empty flank and rear, and if it could succeed, it would not be a problem to directly attack the base camp of the Xuanwu army.

"I think so too. ”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

"Order! The front camp of the Chinese army, attack!"

"Yes!"

"Kill—"

An earth-shattering cry rang out.

……

Finding that there were no stones falling on the top of the city again, the Xuanwu army defending the city was overjoyed, could it be that the enemy army had no stone bullets?

But before they could take a breath of relief, they heard the sound of the boulder breaking into the air again, and hurriedly retracted their heads.

"Don't hit me...... Don't hit me......" Everyone prayed silently in their hearts, hiding in the corner and shivering.

However, what they were puzzled about was that they faintly felt the tremors, but none of the boulders had fallen on the top of the city.

"They're attacking the gates?"

Suddenly a frightened shout was heard, and the defenders of the city were shaken, and finally knew why no stone bullets had fallen on the city.

Is the Shence Army about to break the city?

Most of the people were trembling, and then there was a huge shout from tens of thousands of people outside the city, which shook the city tower and scared the Xuanwu soldiers into weakness.

"Whoever dares to flee will be killed!" The bearded Guo Fan climbed back to the top of the city, standing in the crowd with his sword in his hand, his face hideous. Relying on the momentum, it really shocked a group of cowards who wanted to run away with their heads in their hands.

However, he himself also knew that he could only be deterred for a while, but he could not be deterred for a lifetime, if he could not organize an effective counterattack, and when the Shence army launched a new round of attacks, the Xuanwu army would be scattered, and he would only be defeated and flee.

"Archers, where are the archers dead? Give Lao Tzu a top!" Guo Fan roared at the top of his throat.

"Kill—"

The city was crowded, and the enemies all over the mountains began to charge, hunting with banners, like tigers and dragons.

At the head of the city, Guo Fan's heart was cold.
