On the twenty-second day of May in the eighth year of Zhide, when the city of Liangzhou in Hanzhong was solidified in the east of the city, Tang Yuan, the vanguard officer of the Liang Dynasty's crusading army, organized 50,000 troops to fight against the enemy under the city. Tang Yuan did not include all the soldiers in the formation, and left 7,000 soldiers for the deputy marshal Zhang Zhikui. He told Zhang Zhikui that if needed, he might command Zhang Shuai to make a final charge, and Zhang Zhikui said that there was no problem.

Tang Yuan set up four large square formations, with the vanguard, the left flank, the right flank, the middle army, and two cavalry on the flanks, ready to fight in a roundabout way at any time.

Tang Yuan stood on the chariot of the Chinese army, pinched his waist and looked into the distance, the enemy's main general Bai Chongguang looked elegant, holding a feather fan, sitting at the head of the city, but he just didn't send troops, but let the soldiers stand at the head of the city and insult the Liang army for being incompetent, the army of more than 70,000 people was 50,000, and he didn't dare to attack the city, but he wanted to let the people in the city kill him, we only had 5,000 people left, if you were a man, rush up.

Tang Yuan ordered the chariot to move forward, put on the Jiupin Dragon Bone Bow in his hand, pulled it full, and with a bang, an arrow flew past Bai Chongguang's sideburns, making Bai Chongguang shrink his neck in fright, and never show his face again.

"I've been scolding for an hour, and he won't come out."

The vanguard Tang Hu was in a hurry, although it was only May, but today's sun was extraordinarily big, and it made Tang Hu uncomfortable.

"Hey, Xiaofeng, you are trying to lure the white-bearded old man out, aren't you very methodical, we are out of line today? Oops, hurry up, it's so uncomfortable. ”

"Tang Hu, what are you yelling about! I told you to attack the city, will you go too? ”

"Cheng, as long as you give the order, I will climb up to the city now, and catch the white-bearded old man and cut it down for you."

"Okay, let's try it!"

Tang Hu began to attack the city with 10,000 people, and before attacking the city, he first used a trebuchet to launch fire and thunder into the city, and the fire and thunder clanged, making Zhang Zhikui, who was watching the battle, stunned, I don't know where Tang Yuan got the new gadgets, why is the movement so big?

These fire thunders were captured by Tang Yuan from Yunting Mountain, although Guan Jinglin of the Second Taibao ran away, but the warehouse did not run, these good things were discovered by Tang Yuan, how could he not take them with him. Tang Yuan likes to use fire the most in war, it is not a day or two, as long as there is fire, the fire can be controlled, and all kinds of battles are easy to fight.

No matter how strong the city is, no matter how tenacious the defenders, as long as the fire is ignited, they must retreat and hurriedly distract themselves from the fire. And at this time, it was time for Tang Hu to charge.

The fire and thunder were wrapped in pine oil, and they burned endlessly, burning wherever they cucked, and when they were blown up by the fire and thunder, they splashed everywhere, and the enemy army was busy for a while. The only thing that is not beautiful is that the accuracy of the trebuchet is not good, and I don't know where this thunder can be thrown. Especially these old-fashioned trebuchets, the failure rate is extremely high, basically a battle down, ten will break two or three, some are spring frame broken, some are broken main beams, some even stone throwers are broken, and even distressed, Tang Yuan has long wanted to change the shape of the trebuchet, now with fire and thunder, he has a new idea, he asked the army to hit stones in the mountains to choose a good stone, in the middle of the hole, planning to ignite the fire and thunder in the hole, and then spray out the stones and other debris, but tried several times, unsuccessful, and exploded, but also exploded, almost crashed General Tang.

"I can't attack it at all." Nalan Xin stood beside Tang Yuan, and now his five hundred male Jia cavalry was Tang Yuan's general escort, he pointed to the head of the city and said: "The enemy army is well-equipped, our soldiers rush up and can't cut them, it's really a loss to fight like this." ”

"I didn't think Tang Hu would be able to rush forward at all." Tang Yuan sighed: "But you always have to try, in addition, Zhang Zhikui, who is ambushed in the west at this time, I think he should move." ”

"Let Zhang Shuai lead 7,000 people to attack the West Gate?" Nalan Xin wondered.

"We should work harder." Tang Yuan said: "Inform Tang Hu, don't be like a little daughter-in-law, you have to be like a shrew, rush up for me!" Now there are only ten ladders, and the momentum is not enough, give me all the ladders in the army, and the enemy will burn them, let them burn, Lao Tzu can't do it! ”

Tang Hu received such an order from Sa Huan, and he was agreeing with him, so that the soldiers ran to the barracks, transported all the ladders over, and began to build on the city wall, transporting these ladders consumed nearly a thousand people, the enemy's arrows were dense, and at the same time, the catapults and arrow towers under the city were also full of firepower, and the two sides came and went for a long distance bombardment, and the casualties were not light. However, Liang Jun's fire and thunder soon ran out, and he began to throw stones.

Lost power.

"Captain Du takes the lead, rush me!" Tang Hu shouted.

Now the troops led by Tang Hu are not his, but the troops of the Xuanjia Army Ju Wuxian, when there is no war in peacetime, Ju Wuxian's troops are stationed in Luoyang City, playing the role of Zuo Jin Wuwei, the equipment is good, but unfortunately the combat effectiveness is not very sufficient.

The most powerful troops of the Xuanjia Army were Zhang Yunlong's Zuo Xiaowei and Cao Sheng's Right Xiaowei, and there used to be Gongsun Xiong's Zuo Wuwei, but unfortunately General Gongsun died in battle when resisting Sima's rebellion, and the army was completely wiped out, and the army that could fight has disappeared for many years.

Later, Zhang Yunlong was deprived of military power, and his Zuo Xiaowei was also split, and now the regiment that can be fought in Ju Wuming's hands is the original First Brigade and Third Regiment of Zuo Xiaowei.

Tang Hu watched this regiment charge, and suddenly felt that this regiment was very powerful, the tiger general shook his shoulders, jumped off his horse, held a single iron halberd, and grabbed a shield with the other hand, "Which one is willing to rush with me!" ”

"General Tang, you want to rush too?" Ju Wuming was stunned.

"What?" Tang Hu glared and said, "Do you dare to come with me?" ”

Ju Wuming wants to laugh, as a lieutenant general of the Xuanjia Army, he is also a general of Jin Wuwei, and although you Tang Hu is also a lieutenant general, in my Ju Wuming's opinion, he is just a wild man outside Beijing, how can he compare with me? Now you are holding chicken feathers as an arrow and commanding Lao Tzu's head?

"I'm not going!"

"Don't pull it down." Tang Hu said: "I'll go to Tang Yuan and ask for five hundred people, and you can prepare another five hundred for me, this is always okay, right?" ”

Ju Wuxin said: You fool want to use Tang Yuan to suppress me?

After thinking about it, he said, "Forget it, don't bother, I'll just lend you a thousand people." You work with Captain Sun Du in the hope of breaking through a gap. If you had succeeded, I would not have watched victory and not marched into the army. ”

"Hehe, you kid still have a little conscience." Tang Hu rushed out with people.

Tang Yuan stood in the distance, worried for a while.

Siege is the most dangerous job, if you don't do it, your life will be gone, and there are many ways to die, you will be shot to death, hacked to death, pushed down and fall to death, you can't rush up to let the spear pierce you to death, let the fire oil spray on the body and burn you alive, you will be stoned to death, and so on.

"The third brother's abdominal injury is not yet good, why do you have to charge again?" Tang Yuan frowned.
