Although the personnel of Zheng Gan's ambush in Linjin City did not work, nor did they play a role in cooperating, but only Ma Yan was stationed in Tongguan, and no one else mentioned it on the side, plus maybe Ma Yan had been a homeless person for a while, and he also spent a relatively poor life, so when some of the homeless people in the pass rushed to Tongguan one after another, Ma Yan was not like Xu Shu, who left a backup to pull out the means of hidden dangers at the beginning, so the tragedy was inevitable.

Of course, part of the reason is because of the rumors released by Xu Shu and the others, under the processing of well-intentioned people, the defeat of the Zhengxi General Fei Qian became a death in battle, and even the rumor-mongers themselves believed that the Zhengxi General had died, not to mention Tongguan, which deviated from the political center and lagged behind in information.

The destruction of the city is not terrible, even if it is like Linjin City, it is not a matter of opening a hole, and it is not uncommon in history to resist the attacks of several times or even dozens of times the army with a broken military fort, and the most terrible thing is the disorderly chaos of the army.

In an era when communication is basically based on roaring, the scope that a general can directly control is always limited, and it can't be like in the later games, a calm shockwave skill is used, and half of the screen chaotic one's own troops can immediately return to order, many times because of the dual role of control and transmission timeliness, once chaos begins to arise and spread, even the most capable generals can only look up to the sky and sigh.

Just like in the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's subordinates were not full of generals, but once the whole army began to be chaotic, it was an incorrigible fiasco.

Ma Yan can't be like Xu Shu, openly claiming that all the previous news of the general Zhengxi before the soldiers defending the city are lies, because even Ma Yan himself, in the face of rumors with noses and eyes, although he doesn't believe it, like most uninformed soldiers, he has some doubts in his heart.

Therefore, when Yang Jun commanded the troops to attack Tongguan again, the internal response that suddenly made chaos at night gave Ma Yan a heavy blow, and in the face of Yang Jun's high-intensity attack all day, Ma Yan's troops, who did not fall behind, were defeated by the rebellious exiles at night. Of course, strictly speaking, in fact, he still lost to himself, and in the face of the irrepressible chaos, Ma Yan could only take a few personal guards in the end, fight his way out, and escape from the pass in defeat, not knowing what to do.

Under the first battle, Yang Jun naturally expressed his previous depression under Tongguan, and happily waved his army to Linjin, and finally joined forces with Huchuquan.

And in the battle of Linjin, after all, at this moment, it was the most difficult time.

Previously, Xu Shu had made a bargain on Huchuquan, but after Yang Jun's reinforcements arrived, they were all wiped out, and even the strength was still a little unbalanced, not to mention the fall of Tongguan, which meant that Hongnong's reinforcements would continue to come. At present, Xu Shu's troops and horses have no way to retreat, even if they abandon the city and flee, they will not be able to outrun the pursuit of the Southern Huns.

For the combined army of Hu Chuquan and Yang Jun, Linjin City is a symbol, although Tongguan has been captured, it is not wrong to bypass Linjin first and attack other places, but Hu Chuquan died a lot of soldiers under the city before, and he is naturally red-eyed at the moment, and he must take Linjin first. Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Yang Jun also agreed that the coalition forces would attack Linjin first, at least to let the soldiers of the rest of the county understand that resistance would not have a good result.

Therefore, when the battle under the city of Linjin restarted, it became more and more tragic. From the beginning of the siege, Hu Chuquan drove his sons and daughters, and there were more Han people, who attacked the city wall of Linjin again and again, and did not hesitate to anoint all over the field! He just had red eyes, and he wanted to take down this Linjin City to relieve the hatred in his heart!

In the face of such a situation, Xu Shu did not dare to hold up, empty the city gate to let Hu Chuquan and Yang Jun's coalition attack wantonly, when the number of troops has changed significantly, and then choose such a move, it is undoubtedly self-destruction, so Xu Shu asked people to use sand and bricks to fill the entire door hole, but after all, there is a flaw here, Yang Jun sent a lot of soldiers and people, day and night in the east city gate here to dig and fill the sand and earth bricks, trying to open the road.

With the assistance of the Han soldiers, the overall siege order has improved a lot, and even the casualties are no longer as many as before, the biggest impact is that Yang Jun sent soldiers, under the city first used manpower to connect a piece of the oar shield, formed a phalanx, and died under the city wall, as a temporary shelter, and then more auxiliaries and people joined in, and built an inclined wooden structure under the city wall with yellow mud, which became the front station of the soldiers' attack and the breakthrough point of digging the city wall.

On the other hand, on the Linjin City, the original reserve of rolling wood and stones has almost been used up, and the houses that can be demolished around the city have been demolished, so the city wall is almost demolished and pushed down. Feather arrows are even more scarce, and although the craftsmen in the city are constantly rushing to work, with the running out of molten iron, they can only be recycled by recycling the arrows shot into the city from under the city.

The only weapon to defend the city is to have large vats of boiling water boiling......

But boiling water still requires materials, although there is a water source in the city, there is no shortage of water, but the firewood used to boil water is less than a moment, not to mention the wooden stakes and sticks that have been dismantled, and even the door panels on the street are almost removed and used as fuel.

Several large buckets of boiling water poured down from the city, and splashed down the gaps between the planks and the shields, and the soldiers and people who were nesting in the shelter under the city were scalded to the flesh, and the exposed skin was like boiled shrimp skin, and suddenly became red, and one by one they screamed and rolled and fled outside, some covered their faces, howled and stumbled into the trench, and then they didn't know whether it was the stake or the knives and guns left by the previous soldiers, and after screaming again, they gradually lost their breath.

However, most of the soldiers only burned their arms and torsos, although these soldiers who crawled in the dirt may not be able to survive the ensuing skin ulcers and extensive wound infections, but at least until the fever and fever, these soldiers can still fight, and the reduction of combat effectiveness is not as direct and effective as that of fire oil.

As for the corpses of the ragged people, there were even more, and they were everywhere, almost filling the trenches under the city of Linjin. Of course, among the corpses of the people in these trenches, a considerable part of them were shot by the Huns, but all the people who tried to retreat and withdraw from the trenches to the battlefield would be mercilessly arrowed by the Hun soldiers who supervised the battle, forcing them back into the city.

In the trenches, the corpses of the previous dead had begun to decompose, their abdomen was distended like a bulge, and some, for some reason, burst open, and they all decomposed into yellow-green large intestines and small intestines, like rubber balls filled with water, splattered everywhere, and section by section of intestines either hung on wooden stakes or fell on the ochre-stained soil.

The east city gate that was blocked by sand and soil was excavated day and night, although there were soldiers from the west who kept filling the door hole with stones and sediment, but they were soon dug up and moved. Everyone in the city cave is like a mud monkey, there is no human shape at all, just keep digging, and then a frame of soil is thrown out, and two small soil bags are piled up on both sides of the city gate cave......

On Linjin City, Xu Shu did not have a relaxed and freehand look on his face, only a face of dust and blood remained. Tai Shici's original halberd was also used in heavy battles, cutting off the crescent moon and turning it into a broken spear.

Needless to say, Chen Hao and Chen Gong ran on the city wall, fighting fires everywhere, and when they were so tired that they couldn't even lift their knives, they only leaned on the wall battlements for a while, because they knew that if they sat down, I am afraid that no one would have the perseverance to stand up again......

Linjin City in the continuous days of attack, but also entered the final countdown, the city defenders are of course heavy casualties, even the people in the city who assisted in the transport, there have been large losses, blood stained the city wall, from the blue bricks to infiltrate, until it is silently absorbed by the rammed earth layer.

Xu Shu is still on top of the city, he did not retreat half a step, he was tired for days, even his original strong body seemed to be a little thinner, and in between battles, he still did not forget to boost morale, but his throat was already extremely dry, and he was hoarse like sand and gravel grinding each other: "The Hun dog and the Yang soldiers are our defeated generals!" They didn't have to jump in a few days! General Zhengxi has already passed Longshan, and he will arrive in a few days! At the beginning, this Huchu Spring, if it weren't for the protector of our general Zhengxi, where did the right sage king come from! Two more days, two more days! General Zhengxi will inevitably arrive! At that time, each brother will be able to share the reward and acres of land according to his military exploits! Even if you die, the reward will go to your loved ones! It's all on the books! ”

Xu Shu roared, although he said it hardly, but there was not much bottom in his heart, especially after the fall of Tongguan, this feeling of losing control became more and more obvious, which made Xu Shu feel powerless for the first time, but he couldn't show it in front of ordinary soldiers, and the double torment of his heart and body was painful almost every moment.

Fortunately, in addition to Xu Shu's personal role, the military merit system implemented by the general Fei Qian as early as the time of the merger of the north has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the soldiers, even if the war situation is chaotic now, but many soldiers still choose to believe Xu Shu's words in the end, and the war exploits can be exchanged for the wealth of the family in exchange for rent-free fields, which is still a goal that can be sacrificed to fight for these soldiers who have never had private property, so in Linjin City, although the morale is indeed not very high, but the military spirit is still not very chaotic.

There was a sudden strange sound under the city, and then there was a burst of cheers, and Xu Shu, who was encouraging the soldiers, couldn't help but sink in his heart when he heard it.

Blessing and misfortune are lurking, this sentence is really not wrong at all, the trap of the east city gate used to burn the soldiers of the Southern Huns two days ago, now it has become a flaw after all, if it is only with the strength of Huchuquan before, it is indeed not a very big threat, but with Yang Jun's soldiers and horses, after having sufficient manpower, if it is not for the soft and inconvenient mudflats of the southern city, maybe it will be besieged on all sides, and the east gate of the hole will not be able to withstand the large consumption of manpower.

Moreover, under the continuous attack, the physical strength of the soldiers was also exhausted......

Tai Shi Ci walked over and put on a heavy armor.

During the few days of defending the city, few people wore heavy armor, because most people were running back and forth for several days in a row at the head of the city, who could still insist on wearing a full set of heavy armor?

But now, Tai Shici brought more than 20 soldiers, that is, the last pro-soldier guard who followed Xu Shu, but everyone wore heavy armor, and they still had shields in their hands, and even two more knives were inserted in their backs.

They had just retired to rest, perhaps just to eat a little and breathe a sigh of relief, but now they had to walk back to the battlefield.

Xu Shu's eyes started from Tai Shi Ci, looked over one by one, and then slowly straightened his clothes, although the robe was already tattered and dirty, but Xu Shu still seemed to be wearing the most gorgeous and neat clothes, seriously tidied up his sleeves, and the blood-stained tiara, and finally bowed solemnly to the more than 20 soldiers led by Tai Shi Ci.

It's the smoky sky that's black.

The red ones are the blood-drenched walls.

And between red and black, there is Xu Shu, who bends down and bows his head, and Tai Shici, who is fully armed.

Tai Shi Ci's tall body, even if he put on a double-layer battle armor, he still stood straight, and when he saw Xu Shu paying a big salute, because the armor was inconvenient, he also returned the half-salute with the broken halberd, and then turned around and walked down the city wall. The dammed door hole at the east gate of Linjin was about to be dug through by Yang Jun's soldiers, and Tai Shici and others were the last barrier.

The heavily armored soldiers walked in front of Xu Shu one by one, silently walking towards them, perhaps the final battlefield......

The news that the east gate of the city was about to be dug through also reached the ears of Yang Jun, who was pressed outside the city, Yang Jun was silent for a moment, then waved his hand violently, and the war drums on dozens of sides behind him rang out, and even more than ten trumpeters of the Southern Huns also used their strength to blow the horns, and the siege soldiers in the three directions were like crazy, and broke out with a huge sound, and then these soldiers accompanied and shouted, like a huge wave, to overturn and swallow the small town of Linjin City, which is on the side of Luoshui!

Inside and outside the city, at this moment, they all seem to realize that this time, the Linjin City, which has been supported for a long time, is finally coming to an end, and in the current extremely bad situation, it is impossible to continue to hold on, and it will eventually usher in the moment of destruction!
