Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Siege

Not long after Liu Zhang returned to Chengdu, Shu County, there were hundreds of people in the mansion one after another, and it was hundreds of Sun Qing's subordinates from the Ganning Special Operations Department.

A few days later, Liu Zhang, in the name of his eldest son Liu Xun's apprentice, invited all the heads of families from all over Yizhou to his house.

Liu Xun's teacher is Sun Qing, and his extraordinary archery skills and light skills are revealed, which makes all the heads of the family amazed, and they all envy Liu Zhang for finding a good teacher for his son.

Zhao Wei, who lived in Chengdu together, did not receive Liu Zhang's invitation, and Zhao Wei's subordinates Pang Le and Li Yi were angry that Zhao Wei was not invited, and they all gathered at Zhao Wei's mansion.

"Lord Zhao, after Liu Zhang came back from going to Guanghan to inspect those Dongzhou soldiers some time ago, he never left the house again, and in the past few days, he suddenly summoned the heads of various families to Chengdu, saying that he worshipped his eldest son, why don't you invite Lord Zhao?"

"Liu Zhang, a pedantic and timid person, no matter what he does, no matter how hard he works, those families will not obey him, let him go." Zhao Wei didn't take this matter to heart at all.

"Lord Zhao, Liu Zhang is incompetent, or we will simply!" Li Yi made a movement to wipe his neck.

"Don't worry, we have just gained the trust of those families, and besides, Liu Zhang still has more than 100,000 Dongzhou soldiers stationed in Guanghan, let him live a few more years."

Zhang Guangqin led most of the Ninth Army Corps, together with Dian Wei, Gan Ning, Li Hao, Huang Yan, Zhang Yan and Li Dao, nearly 30,000 people, divided into two routes, and went straight to Yizhou.

Zhang Guang took Dian Wei's guard battalion, Gan Ning's special operations department, and Li Hao's long-range operations department from Pangyi's Brazil to Guanghan Zitong, and then turned southwest to Chengdu, the seat of Shu County.

Brazil guarded Pang Yi and Guanghan guarded Wu Yi, worried that Zhang Guang was plotting against him, so he led his troops all the way to "escort" Zhang Guang to the border of Shu County.

"Pang Taishou, the lord led this Zhang Guang to help him benefit the state, is it done?" Wu Yi looked at Zhang Guang and the others who were far away and said.

"I don't think it's difficult, there are less than 20,000 people, and there are no powerful siege weapons, Zhao Wei has 30,000 elite soldiers in Chengdu to defend the city, and Zhao Wei's Li Yi and other generals are all good defenders."

"Yes, I don't know what the lord thinks, let the Dongzhou soldiers under the two of us don't need it, give up the near and far, and find so many 20,000 people to help him go to Yizhou." Wu Yi complained a little.

"Well, it doesn't matter, the two of us will manage Brazil and Guanghan, in case the lord is defeated, then we will usher him in Guanghan and be our king of Guanghan."

"Okay, Pang Taishou, goodbye!"

Pang Yi and Wu Yi led their troops back to their respective stations and prepared to rescue their own father-in-law, Liu Zhang.

Zhang Guang and Dian Wei, Gan Ning, and Li Hao led nearly 20,000 people from the new capital into Shu County, and the speed suddenly accelerated, and when Zhao Wei, Li Yi and others got the news, Zhang Guang had already arrived in the mountains and wilderness north of Chengdu.

"Lord Zhao, in the north of Chengdu, a team of nearly 20,000 people suddenly appeared, dressed strangely, carrying strange things on their shoulders, I have never seen it, I don't know where it came from, whose army it is."

"A strange queue of nearly 20,000 people? What do you want to do in Chengdu? Could it be that Liu Zhang went to Guanghan some time ago, where did he recruit the army? Hearing the scout's report, Li Yi, Pang Le and the others couldn't figure it out.

"No matter who it is, be ready to face the battle, even if it is the army that Liu Zhang recruited from, if he hides it from us, it is definitely not a good type, and he must not let them enter the city, once he gets close, shoot him directly."

Zhao Wei ordered, and his subordinates Pang Le and Li Yi and other generals went to the city wall to prepare for battle.

After Zhang Guang and the others arrived, they did not camp and rest, and began to assemble siege weapons directly on the plain outside the city.

"General Pang, what are they trying to do? They did not come to call for battle, nor did they camp and repair, but what did they gather there for? ”

"Who knows, it's certainly not a good thing, General Li, did you see the two thousand cavalry on their flanks? Wait a minute, I'll defend the city, and you'll shoot the 2,000 cavalry. ”

"No problem." Li Yi left and began to select soldiers with good archery skills, preparing to dismount the cavalry outside the city.

"General Pang, what are they trying to do? Siege? There are no siege weapons, how can you attack it? "The generals of the city all gathered around Pang Le.

"They seem to be assembling something, huh? If any of you has good eyesight, watch carefully. Pang Le noticed something was wrong.

"General Pang, it seems that he is assembling a stone-throwing car!" People with good eyesight squint and stare carefully.

"Stone-throwing trucks? It's impossible, when the catapult throws rocks to attack, such a big impact, the assembled things, can withstand it? "Some people don't believe it.

"Whatever it is, get everyone ready, they didn't set up camp, they must be ready to attack the city right away."

"Yes!"

After Zhang Guang, Dian Wei, Li Hao, and Gan Ning arrived, Li Hao asked if he wanted to set up camp and repair first, and then attack the city tomorrow, after all, he was a little tired after marching for so long.

"No, I estimate that Zhao Wei and the others in the city don't know who we are now, so take this opportunity to break the city directly."

"Li Hao, you hurry up and assemble the bomb throwing truck and the stone throwing truck, and when you see that there are no generals gathered together at the head of the city, you will target the city where they are, and the targets of the ten stone throwing vehicles will be placed in that position, and you must smash a hole for me. The other five bomb throwers picked up crowded places to give them a taste of the old blacksmith's poisonous fireballs. ”

"Gan Ning, except for the two thousand cavalry, the rest of the special operations department follows me, once the hole is smashed, I will lead them to quickly break into the city and open the city gate, you lead the two thousand cavalry into the city, and follow the route Liu Zhang said to Zhao Wei's mansion to arrest people."

Li Hao's people, right under the noses of Pang Le, Li Yi and others, assembled fifteen weapons that were even bigger than ordinary catapults.

Huge stone projectiles were smashed towards the same place on the top of the city.

Pang Le and the others didn't expect that the stone-throwing truck outside the city had such a long range, and before they could react, the huge stone bullets had already flown towards the city.

"General Pang, be careful!"

Before the stone bullet fell, Pang Le was rescued by the guards from the attack range.

"Archers, get ready, they'll be coming to break the city soon!" Pang Le and Li Yi shouted at the same time.

"Bomb cart, ready, put!"

Under Li Hao's order, five flaming fire bombs roared towards the city, and exploded with a bang at the crowded position at the city.

"It's poisonous, this fire is poisonous, ah, my eyes, I can't see."

"Don't panic, everyone, keep your position."

Pang Le and Li Yi tried their best to keep their subordinates from messing up, but under the successive attacks of fire bombs, how could the defenders, who had never been attacked in this way, not be chaotic?

Ten stone-throwing carts also attacked the same city in succession, and under the attack of nearly an hour, they finally smashed a hole.

"Rush!" Zhang Guang took advantage of the fact that the bomb throwing truck was still continuing to throw fire bombs, and when the defenders of the city were in chaos, he rushed outside the city wall and began to use climbing ropes and other tools to enter the city through the gap.

"General Li, quick, go to the city to find Lord Zhao, quickly escort Lord Zhao out of the city, I will break off here."

"Okay, General Pang, take care."

Pang Le and Li Yi were also decisive, and when they found that the other party's siege weapons were powerful, they must have come prepared, and decided to escort Zhao Wei out of the city to other city-states first.
