At the Nanzheng City Gate, more than a dozen Zhang Lu Dao soldiers were huddled near the doorway, surrounding a small bonfire to avoid the dew in the middle of the night.

I don't know when, a few soldiers got together, muttered and began to complain.

"You say it's just a few days of peace? How long has it been stable, and I have to fight again...... Fighting back and forth, it's not us big soldiers...... I didn't eat a good bite, I didn't drink a little better, I really didn't even have a hope......"

“…… It is said that Guanzhong is chaotic, and I don't think this Hanzhong is much better! ”

"By the way, doesn't it mean that the power of the Heavenly Master is boundless, but it can eliminate misfortune and eliminate disease, why can't you just directly let the soldiers outside the city retreat?"

"What the fuck do you think ......"

"Shut up!" Just when the topic gradually deviated, the team leader sitting by the bonfire was still a little sensible, and hurriedly stopped it, "It's all fucking less heart!" Black buttocks, go check the gates again! Go and see if there is any dry firewood around, and bring some more......"

A soldier with a large patch of dysentery on his head answered, grabbed a spear and walked out of the doorway, but rather that he was holding a spear as a crutch, and he just walked to the edge of the doorway, as if he saw something, he let out a half-shout, but was cut off by a cold light outside the doorway!

A skull, still wide-eyed, flew up in the cold light, mixed with blood mist and fell, bouncing on the blue bricks on the ground of the city wall, spinning bonely......

"Kill!"

In the midst of the shouting, a group of people rushed out of the darkness and went straight to the city gate!

The team in the door cave was shocked before they stood up, and just wanted to command the soldiers to meet the enemy, but they felt a chill in their stomachs......

At some point, a short blade had already sunk into the side ribs of the team leader, and the team leader only had time to glance at the soldier standing beside him, and then collapsed to the ground weakly.

There was chaos in the doorway, and several soldiers who resisted were cut to the ground by the people who rushed in in an instant.

"Lower latch! Pull the bolt! Open the gates! ”

A middle-aged man who was obviously the leader rushed over, and the knife on his body was no longer stained with the blood of several people, and the smell of blood came to his face, "Quick! Call the shots out of the city! ”

The soldiers on the top of Nan Zheng Wanglou were awakened by the noise, opened their eyes in a daze, and then realized something, stood up and threw themselves on the edge of the battlements, looking at everything in front of them in disbelief, their throats were just gurgling, and they couldn't make a sound for a while, and after waiting for a while, they suddenly opened their voices and shouted: "The city is under siege!" The enemy is attacking the city! ”

Not long after the sound of the alarm was issued, the golden gong on the city had just been sounded, and there was a faint shout in Nanzheng City, and then this shout was repeated by more people, and it became louder, turning into a huge roar, resounding in the sky above Nanzheng City: "The traitor Zhang Lu has been defeated!" General Zhengxi has entered the city! Those who descend will not be killed! Those who descend will not be killed! If you resist, you will kill all three tribes! ”

Before the Nanzheng Mansion, it was also surrounded by people and was attacking, and at the gate, it was almost as killing as a flesh mill. In addition to the city gates, the so-called "righteous men" lurking in the city are also an important target.

Zhang Lu's personal guards, some lined up at the doorway to form an array, some stood on the walled lookout, desperately stabbing those who tried to climb the approach, and some stood on the roof with bows and arrows, shooting arrow by arrow......

For a while, there were shouts of everything, and the entire Nanzheng Mansion was like a pot of boiling blood porridge without a lid, and from time to time there would be blood-red foam splashing up, splashing everywhere around.

The shouts in Nanzheng City became louder and louder, and many fires were ignited, flickering and shining on the figures, big and small, like monsters in the night sky. All kinds of fighting and shouting sounds, the sound of blades colliding, the screams before death, all kinds of sounds, from small to large, from low to high, mixed together, bursts of thunder into the Nanzheng Office, into Zhang Lu's ears.

At this time, the sound outside the city gate also sounded, although it was much farther away than the roar of the battle close at hand, but among the Nanzheng Mansion, including Zhang Lu, they were all people who had been in the battle array, although the voice outside the city was relatively weak, but what this voice meant, everyone was clear in their hearts.

The sound of low and steady footsteps stepping on the ground in a uniform manner, the sound of orders to maintain the front, the low whistling sound that every soldier involuntarily came out of the dantian, although it was far away, it could not be blocked by the city wall of Nanzheng, nor could it be covered by the hustle and bustle in front of him!

This kind of low but powerful voice made everyone like the government office, including Zhang Lu, can't help but explode into fine sweat!

At this time, the soldiers and generals who were around Zhang Lu and whose faces were covered with blood had already gathered, and they just opened their throats and shouted......

"Master! The thieves at the gate of the house are attacking very tightly, and they have to add some more manpower to defend against it! ”

"Master! Quickly give the order, transfer the soldiers in the barracks in the city! Let's calm down the door of the house first, and then talk about these thieves! ”

"Master! You can't transfer the soldiers in the city to come, you have to take care of the city defense first! If you are killed by the expedition from outside the city and enter the city, everything will be over! ”

"Master! Seeing that the front door is not done, why don't we escort Shijun to the back door! ”

In the buzzing, Zhang Lu just felt that his hands and feet were cold, and his face was completely bloodless in the swaying firelight. Zhang Lu was not completely defenseless for the general Zhengxi outside the city, but seeing that the general Zhengxi came from afar and did not start to build siege equipment, he thought that there would be a few days before the siege of the west, but he never thought that he would suffer such a big change tonight!

What to do?

First send troops to quell these sources of chaos in the city, or hurry up to resist the siege of General Zhengxi?

If you don't kill these rebels in the city, it will inevitably have endless troubles, if you take advantage of the chaos to burn the weapons, grain and grass, even if you hold the four gates, how long can you hold out?

But if you want to transfer troops to surround and kill these chaotic soldiers, the streets and alleys in the city, and the houses overlap, it is not easy to clean up for a while, but I am afraid that it will be entangled for too long, but it will lead to the loss of the city gate and the loss of Nanzheng!

Zhang Lu gritted his teeth and hesitated, but he couldn't speak for a while, only to hear the disturbing voices in his ears getting higher and louder......

………………………………

Fei Qian overlooked the east gate of Nanzheng, a tricolor Zhengxi banner was erected high behind him, and the guards were arched on the left and right, in addition to Huang Xu on his side, Zhang Ze also changed into a military uniform, and stood behind Fei Qian with Xu Huang.

At the east gate of Nanzheng, fireworks were already rising, and the soldiers on both sides were fighting in one place.

Originally, in Nanzheng City, including the cave of the city wall, there were soldiers, but firstly, Zhang Lu did not arrange it in advance, secondly, the incident happened suddenly, and many soldiers are still subconsciously resisting, and thirdly, because of the defection of the two brothers of Fu Luodao, Yang Song, and Yang Bai, even with the defense of the city, Zhang Lu was not at ease to let outsiders take command, so he let his brother Zhang Wei control, but Zhang Wei, if it is usual, his face turned pale with fright at the critical moment, even if he issued the order, he was a little confused. made the soldiers in the city even more confused......

So at the moment in Nanzheng, only these officers at the most basic level, the captain of the team or something, are still trying to control the situation, gathering their own soldiers and commanding the defense.

Although these grassroots officers work hard, but there is no high-level commander, the orders issued will inevitably conflict with each other, affect each other, everyone is pulling their necks and shouting, but even if they stand face to face, they may not be able to hear what the other party is shouting, with the gradual increase in the fire in the city, the flames of the Nanzheng Mansion are monstrous, and these grassroots officers have gradually lost their minds, and they don't know whether they should go to the place of the government or to the city gate......

The current two hundred foot soldiers are divided into twenty groups, each group carries a long ladder, and rushes straight to the trench outside Nanzheng City, pulls out the antlers to resist the horse, and then puts the ladder on the trench, and then builds twenty temporary narrow wooden bridges!

If it is a normal siege, these soldiers may not be able to rush up under the suppression of bows and arrows, and they must have suffered heavy casualties, not to mention the ease of almost no losses to build a ladder to the place of the trench.

Although there were soldiers shouting and shooting arrows from the top of the city, some of the scattered attacks in the night were basically like nothing, and did not play much of a stopping role.

As the archers on both flanks of the Zhengxi General's array pressed forward, and began to cover the blind shooting towards the city, there was no more decent counterattack on the city wall.

After the ladder was erected, the soldiers in the second array quickly passed through the ladder on the trench under the order of the grassroots officer, and went straight to the east gate of the fierce battle!

In the city of Nanzheng, the shouts are getting louder and louder at this time, and there are more and more fires, mixed with the terrible cries of countless people in the city, and the chaos is incomparable......

"The city is ruined......"

Zhang stood aside and said softly.

"Well, the city is broken." Fei Qian nodded and said the same.

Up to now, Zhang Lu still has not made an effective counterattack, and there has been no large-scale formation of military formation, so it is basically doomed.

There should have been a lot of soldiers in the city, these defensive soldiers, if they form a formation and cooperate with each other, even if Fei Qian attacks the city gate, he may not be able to achieve absolute superiority immediately, but until now, there is still no decent defensive formation, so without the scattered city guards under the command, it will definitely not be able to resist the impact of the well-structured Fei Qian's soldiers, even if there is a slight sporadic resistance, they can only be greeted by one-sided killing!

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the cheers at the Nanzheng City Gate to see the suspension bridge that was originally hanging high and falling with a bang!

Fei Qian saw that the city gate had fallen into his hands, so he immediately raised his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Gongming obeys the order!" Enter the city and break the enemy! ”

Xu Huang immediately received the order, took a few steps forward, took the long axe handed over by the guard, and shouted: "Follow a certain into the city!" Break the enemy! ”

At the sound of an order, the forest-like swords and guns in the military formation were raised high, and they followed Xu Huang, rushing towards the city gate like a tide, shouting in unison: "Enter the city!" Break the enemy! Town! Break the enemy! ”

………………………………

At this time, Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei were already covered in blood.

At the last moment, Zhang Wei still chose to save his brother Zhang Lu first, rushed out of the barracks with his soldiers, killed the rebels around the palace, and gathered with Zhang Lu, and then when he thought about turning back to the city gate, it was too late......

One husband is in turmoil, and hundreds of people are in the scene, not to mention these chaotic soldiers in the city, which were originally the backhands left by Nan Zheng Zhang, carefully prepared in case he turned his face with Zhang Lu, and when the next attack came out, he calculated with intention or not, where can Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei control it?

One or two hundred people, in this dark night, set off a storm and waves in Nanzheng County!

The fires lit everywhere caused many people to be forced out of their homes by the raging flames, which added to the chaos in the city, and every road seemed to have a large number of people running and bumping, and the young and strong could still run and shout, and the old and weak could only be trampled on the soles of their feet!

They all thought that if they followed the Heavenly Master, they would have peace and joy and could live for a while, but they didn't expect that overnight, the military disaster would come to their eyes!

Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei saw that the situation was irretrievable, so he gathered his soldiers and retreated to the west of the city......

Although Zhang Wei has no commanding talent, he still has some force, maybe he knows that the moment is already a critical juncture, or maybe he is also in order to be able to escape for his life, holding a straight knife in one hand and a spear in the other, he rushed to the front, and ran into a group of Zhang Ze's private soldiers ambushed in the city.

"Kill! Kill them! ”

Zhang Wei shouted, and then he raised his sword and gun to kill Zhang Ze's private soldiers, and the guards and soldiers who followed Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei also knew that this moment was the key to life and death, so they shouted and fought forward!

These Zhang Ze's private soldiers hidden in the city, in order not to attract attention, it is good to have some swords, guns and blades, so it is impossible to have many armor, bows and arrows, plus dogs are in a hurry to jump off the wall, let alone people?

Therefore, when Zhang Lu also carried a long sword and went forward frantically, these Zhang Ze's private soldiers were a little unable to resist, and several people were killed one after another, and the rest let out a shout, and fled in all directions, and fled into the streets and alleys......

Zhang Wei's face was stained with blood foam and minced meat, and his red eyes were just chasing people to slash and kill, but he was pulled by Zhang Lu: "Quick!" Simon, go Westgate! ”

As long as he escapes, Zhang Lu still has some prestige accumulated from Zhang Daoling's generation, as well as Taoists and believers scattered all over Hanzhong, as well as soldiers and guards at Yangping Pass......

There is hope!

As long as you live, there is hope!

Zhang Lu looked back angrily, looked at the fire rising from the east gate, gritted his teeth, and just urged Zhang Wei and the others to retreat to the west gate together......
