On the fourth day of the fourth month of April, the sun shines on the earth, but the west, east, and south gates of Huiye Mansion are cold, the flags are like forests, the weapons are dazzling, and the sound of golden drums and horns is loud, and the murderous spirit is soaring.

Jiang Anyi stood on top of the West City and saw the Western Regions Alliance troops in the distance lined up in neat squares, shield bearers, archers, pikemen, and sword and axe men formed a formation, and in the sound of "rumbling" war drums, forty thunderbolt carts lined up in a line, slowly moving forward under the traction of horses.

Dozens of vehicles with high baffles strangely crossed the thunderbolt cars to the front, Jiang Anyi looked at the baffles on these cars as high as half a zhang, like a stele, which should be used to block arrows. Guan Pingzhong beside him said: "My lord, this is the vertical car of the people of the Western Regions, it is very strong, only the winch crossbow arrow can destroy it, and ordinary bows and arrows are useless to shoot it." ”

The vertical cart continued to advance, and the archers of the coalition army sneaked thirty paces away under the cover of the vertical cart, and Jiang Anyi said: "Send crossbow arrows." ”

The "collapse" string sounded, sixteen gallows crossbows on the west city shot arrows one after another, and the huge crossbow arrows pierced the shield of the vertical car, some shot through the shield, some hung on the shield, and some brought the vertical car down, Jiang Anyi frowned, the effect was not good. The coalition forces behind the erection began to shoot arrows at the head of the city, intertwined with the rain of arrows from the head of the city, obscuring the sun in the sky.

"Boom", with a loud bang, the thunderbolt began to exert its might, countless stones rose into the air, and smashed heavily on the city wall, the entire Huiye Castle was trembling, the sky and the earth changed color, and the mountains collapsed. After the stone rain, the coalition army carried a ladder and pushed a cart towards the city wall, and the three walls of Aino Mansion started at the same time.

The city gate was shaken by the rushing car, and hot oil was poured from above, and then a fire ignited, temporarily blocking the impact of the coalition forces on the city gate; The pheasant moat of the city wall was smashed by the stone throwing, and the loess behind the green bricks was exposed in some places, and the stone throwing of the coalition thunderbolt cart was concentrated and thrown into the gap like a raindrop, and the gap was wider and bigger, and the coalition army began to pile up soil in the gap under the cover of the nest car, preparing to pile up the slope and rush directly into the city. The city had already prepared gravel and put it in sacks to fill the gap, and the rain of arrows on both sides kept raining, and a layer of dead bodies piled up under the city walls.

Jiang Anyi couldn't remember the first time he killed the coalition troops who climbed the city wall, he turned from the west city to the south gate and then to the east city, where there was danger. Jiang Anyi, the commander of the defense of the city, was handed over to Guan Pingzhong, although he learned a lot of field command in Mobei, but the defense of the city was still a new thing for him, after the initial hurry, Jiang Anyi recognized the situation, on this occasion, he was more suitable to be a brave general who rushed to kill, and the heavy responsibility of commanding the three armies was handed over to Guan Pingzhong.

The horn of the coalition army sounded, the soldiers besieging the city retreated like a tide, Jiang Anyi looked up at the sky, only to find that the sun had turned west, and he had been fighting for more than two hours unconsciously.

Guan Pingzhong walked over from a distance, Jiang Anyi saw that his face was covered with soot, and he was washed by sweat like a cold melon skin, and said with a smile: "Where did General Guan steal chickens and get this dust." ”

"My lord, I just made a round, the city wall is seriously damaged, if the coalition forces continue to throw stones, the city wall may not be able to support half a month." Guan Pingzhong said worriedly: "Let Huang Yuan and Ziyun's reinforcements attack, and we should join forces to defeat the coalition army all the way, force the coalition army to retreat, and resolve the crisis in Huiye Mansion." ”

Jiang Anyi shook his head and said: "It's not the time yet, the morale of the coalition forces is booming, wait until they consume their spirits." ”

Guan Pingzhong didn't make a sound, he heard that Jiang Anyi wanted to finish the battle in one battle, use reinforcements to completely smash the coalition army's offensive against Huiye Mansion, turn defense into offense, and start a counterattack, but in this way, the pressure on the officers and soldiers defending the city will be greater.

Park Tianhao interjected: "We must find a way to go out of the city and rush for a while, and we can't let the coalition army calmly attack the city." ”

The next day, the battle continued, Jiang Anyi led 5,000 light cavalry out of the north gate and turned to the west gate to attack the flank of the West Gate coalition army, the coalition army had already been prepared, more than 10,000 light cavalry to meet the battle, a bitter fight Jiang Anyi led the army back, and the two sides suffered casualties on both sides.

On the fifth day of the battle, the walls of Aino Prefecture were already scarred, and there were several dangerous situations. Jiang Anyi has been living on the edge of the city for the past few days, taking the lead, and he will appear wherever there is danger. The envoy personally fought on the battlefield, which greatly encouraged the morale of Zheng Jun, especially Jiang Anyi's bravery, which left a deep impression on the soldiers, and now Jiang Anyi will receive reverence wherever he appears.

The city of Huiye Mansion was relatively calm, Jiang Anyi cleaned the Hua family when he first came, and by the way, he cleared out a group of people from the Western Regions, and the government soldiers and officials patrolled the streets of the city every day, and the curfew began at two o'clock, and Mao Zheng was allowed to go out. Long Wei stared at the shops and settlements of the people of the Western Regions in the city, and the external contact was interrupted during the extraordinary period, and the city did not dare to act rashly.

In the sunset, Jiang Anyi, Guan Pingzhong and others stood at the head of the city and watched the coalition army slowly retreat, and the battlefield was in chaos: dead bodies lying on the ground, discarded and burning ordnance, weapons everywhere, broken flags, and the remnants of the sun were like blood, and they were in ruins.

Guan Pingzhong looked at the retreating coalition army and said: "My lord, the coalition army has been attacking the city for five consecutive days, and the momentum is not as good as before, judging from today's battle, the fatigue of the coalition army is revealed, and it is time for reinforcements to take action." "Huiye Mansion and the Western Regions Army are fighting, the north gate is calm, every day Jiang Anyi will send people to Ziyun County to contact Yan Jianjian and Huang Jifei, and the situation on both sides is clear to each other.

Jiang Anyi took Guan Pingzhong and others back to the palace, and the dragon guards and personal guards outside the lobby guarded, Jiang Anyi, Xin Fei, Guan Pingzhong, Fang Shishu and others gathered together to discuss the launch of a counteroffensive.

Fang Shishu spoke first: "Half of Huazhou has fallen, the people have been displaced, and they have long been looking forward to Wang Shi recovering the lost land. After Anyi, after you came to Huiye Mansion, the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and the people thought that they would launch a counteroffensive as soon as possible, at least to lift the siege of Fucheng by the people of the Western Regions. Xin Fei also said: "If the difficulty of Huiye Mansion can be solved as soon as possible, the court will also be impressed by Anyi, and the Son of Heaven and the prince will be happy." "Others have said that they should launch an attack on the Western Regions coalition forces.

The matter is settled, and at the end of tomorrow, at the right time, let Yan Jianjian and Huang Jifei lead the army to kill the East Gate Coalition Army, and Jiang Anyi will lead 50,000 horses in the city to respond, and strive to defeat the East Gate and Western Regions Army. In the past few days, the people of the Western Regions have launched an attack, Shen Chu collected troops and returned to the camp, cleaned up the battlefield, Jiang Anyi carefully observed, the coalition army was divided into three groups, each group attacked for about an hour, and the coalition army was weak at the end of the time, and it was best to launch an attack at this hour.

The guards outside can report when they come in, and Tu Yonghe asks to see him, Jiang Anyi said with a smile: "I have been patronizing the city in the past few days, and I have almost forgotten about Tu Yonghe, and he must have come to see Tu Yonghe. Invite him in. ”

Sure enough, Tu Yonghe walked in happily, made a circle to everyone in the lobby, and said with a smile: "My lord, the thunderbolt has been imitated." ”

Everyone has seen the destructive power of the thunderbolt car siege, and when they heard that the thunderbolt car was imitated, everyone was overjoyed, and followed Jiang Anyi to the courtyard of Sima Mansion to check. I saw a row of more than a dozen thunderbolt cars placed in the square, and the wood was brand new and obviously fresh.

Jiang An Yixi said: "Have you ever tried the effect?" ”

Tu Yonghe replied: "I tried it at the North Gate School Field, and the range is 500 steps, which is the same effect as the captured Thunderbolt. ”

Jiang Anyi was overjoyed and said: "Okay, Tu Huzuo, you have made great contributions, I will show you credit to the court, and the rewards you deserve will never be less." By the way, how many thunderbolts can be made in a day? ”

Tu Yonghe said with a smile on his face: "My lord, if the wood is enough, about fifty cars can be imitated in a day." ”

Jiang Anyi clasped his palms together and said, "Tu Huzuo, you have worked hard to lead the craftsmen to make forty cars overnight, and I will be of great use tomorrow." ”

…………

On the 10th day of April, the sun was shining, and the coalition forces continued to attack the city. At the end of the year, the coalition forces were replaced by new troops and renewed their agitation for the siege. On the city of Huiye Mansion, dozens of thunderbolt cars were pushed on the "rumble", and Tu Yonghe and the craftsmen worked hard until noon, and a total of forty-seven thunderbolt cars were imitated, plus thirteen seized, exactly twenty people at one city gate. Even stones, there are not a few people who have smashed on the head of the city by the coalition army, and Fang Shishu also collected a large number of them at the city gate and stacked them on the city wall, which is enough.

When the thunderbolt was placed steadily, and the time was almost three minutes to the end, Jiang Anyi said with a smile: "Use the way of others to treat their bodies, send stones, and let the people of the Western Regions also taste the power of stones." ”

Under an order, a stone shadow flew on the top of the city, roaring and smashing towards the coalition army under the city, from top to bottom, the power of the stone was more sufficient, a nest car was hit by a stone, and immediately "boom" broke up, and the soldiers under the nest car were pressed on the carport and screamed.

The stone rain fell, jumping on the ground, smashing to death, and either breaking his foot or vomiting blood. The coalition forces were in chaos, and the crying father shouted that his mother fled backwards in embarrassment, dodging the flying stones. Zheng Jun at the head of the city looked at the fleeing Western Regions army, and laughed happily, the stuffiness suppressed by the thunderbolt of the Western Regions people these days has finally come out.

The horn sounded, and the Western Regions Coalition began to gather their ranks, apparently not ready to fight. When Jiang Anyi came to Dongcheng, 20,000 soldiers and horses had already been prepared, Jiang Anyong, He Xigui, Park Tianhao and others stood by the horse in high spirits, just waiting for Jiang Anyi's arrival.

Turning over the horse and carrying a gun in hand, Jiang Anyi ordered: "Open the city gate." Thousands of catties were twisted, the city gate was slowly opened, and Jiang Anyi rushed out of the city. When the coalition forces saw the Zheng army in the city coming out, they immediately sounded their horns, quickly formed a formation, and waited for the battle.

At this time, the rear of the coalition army thundered with horses' hooves, and Yan Jiancai led 30,000 light cavalry to take the lead. Jiang Anyi raised his spear high and shouted: "Reinforcements have arrived, fight bravely to kill the enemy." ”

The Zheng army roared forward to kill, the coalition army was attacked at this moment, the army was a big enemy, and Mu Kang, the general of the unified army, had to order a temporary retreat to the south gate of the coalition army, and wait for the two armies to join together to resist the Zheng attack.

On the wall of the South Gate, Guan Pingzhong paid attention to the battlefield, and saw that the coalition forces at the East Gate were pouring towards the South Gate Coalition Army like a tide, and when the two coalition forces intersected, the formation was staggered, and he immediately ordered: "Open the city gate and attack." ”

The south gate of the city opened, and Guan Pingzhong led 20,000 soldiers and horses out of the city, and joined Jiang Anyi and others in one place, outflanking the coalition forces in it.
