The soldiers of the Yan army have not seen the scene, on the city of Jicheng, many soldiers of the Yan army have not only experienced the battle of Chu and Han, but also participated in the war of the princes outside the border to join forces to destroy Qin, and those who have experienced a hundred battles can be found in every Yan army team, but even these veterans of a hundred battles who crawled out of the pile of dead people have never encountered such a situation today, such a terrifying scene today.

Under the early spring sun, a boulder larger than the grinding disc continues to fly, like a homing bird, whistling and rotating, smashing into the city of Jicheng one after another, the place where the boulder fell, the earth collapsed, and the force directly smashed out of the deep pit, smashed into the female wall, the wall collapsed, the arrow buttress disappeared directly, smashed into the defenders, flesh and blood flew sideways, internal organs and brains burst together, and the smashed people with armor turned into meat sauce, and the ones that were hung were usually broken and fractured, and the screaming sound was comparable to killing pigs.

The first time I encountered such a scene, of course, the defenders on the city wall were already in chaos, and there were countless people who ran to avoid the stones, and many people risked their heads to escape the steps of the city to avoid the stone bullets, but the huge stone bullets of the Han army were unceremonious, and they continued to smash into the city, smashed into the city, and smashed the city of Jicheng City to the ground, and also smashed the houses in the city to collapse and break the roof.

Without the persuasion of others, Zang Di, who cherished his life, escaped from the west gate of Jicheng early, and hid in the dead corner of the Han army behind the city wall, but a boulder rolled down from the wall behind him, and smashed several Yan soldiers not far away directly into flesh, Zang Di completely did not even have the courage to stay on the front line to boost morale, so he could only quickly send someone to Zhai Xu and Li Scoop to give an order, ordering Zhai Li Er to guard the west gate, and then quickly led the guards back to the palace, for fear that he would be delayed for a long time on the first line, and he would be unlucky to be killed by the Han army's boulder.

Or after fleeing back to the palace, Zang Di knew that the east gate and north gate of Jicheng were in much the same situation, Gongsun Tong and Xia Shuo The two armies also put out more than 40 counterweight trebuchets, bombarding the north gate and east gate of Jicheng indiscriminately, and destroyed the tower on the city wall and the Pengping that resisted the bow and arrow without much effort, and the defenders of the Yan army had nothing to do, so they could only hide on the city wall with their heads and tremble, gritting their teeth and suffering.

In this regard, Zang Di's face was abnormally pale, but he was helpless, and said to himself after a while: "No matter how you smash it, it is impossible to directly smash the widow's city wall, the great thing is that the casualties are larger, and the battle is more difficult, the key is to see the ant war, as long as the ant war we can withstand, we can still hold Jicheng." ”

Zhang Sheng did not echo Zang Di's words, but subconsciously turned his gaze to the west, and secretly said in his heart: "The key is the West Gate, as long as the West Gate can be kept, there is hope for the East Gate and the North Gate." ”

Zhang Sheng's intuition was very keen, and just as he was muttering like this, Tao Xi, the quick-tempered general of the Han army, had already ordered the Han gunners to stop throwing stones, and instead stepped forward with a ladder car and a flying ladder, and was the first to launch an ant-attached attack on Jicheng. Seeing this scene on the city wall, Zhai Xu, the guard of the west gate of the Yan army, was extremely hesitant in his heart, but considering that his subordinates might not follow him, and the city gate was controlled by friendly troops, Zhai Xuan hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and ordered: "Prepare rockets and swallowtail torches." ”

According to Zhai Xu's order, barrels of precious fire oil were quickly carried to the city, and rockets and swallowtail torches wrapped in sackcloth were also quickly dipped in fire oil. However, when Zhai Xuan and the soldiers of the Yan army were confused, after the rows of Yan army rocketeers were ready to take position, and the Han army's ladder car was about to enter their range, the Han army's flag suddenly flashed, and the ladder car suddenly stopped advancing and stayed at the edge of the Yan army's rocket range.

"What are the thug armies doing?"

When a more stubborn Yan army general finished saying this, the answer appeared, and when the flag shook, the Han army trebuchet, which had been silent for a while, fired again, and threw out a huge pottery urn with centrifugal force, and smashed it directly into the Jicheng city wall that was already full of shooters, and the Yan army crossbowmen screamed and scattered to dodge It was too late, and the pottery urn fell to the ground and shattered, bursting out countless coals and thick smoke, which immediately burned many Yan army crossbowmen who could not dodge, and also ignited all the combustibles that could be ignited around - This includes, of course, valuable and expensive oil oils.

"Hurry up and move the oil! Protect the oil! ”

Some clever Yan generals quickly understood the vicious intentions of the Han army, and quickly ordered the soldiers to rescue the fire oil, but the trebuchet of the Han army was merciless, and successively threw some primitive incendiary bombs and sheep's head stones, although the sheep's head stone was small and could not hurt the arrow stacks of the city wall, but there were many of them, and the effect of dealing with the Yan soldiers was extraordinary. There were also guards running and shouting everywhere.

Or after smashing out the five-wheeled sheepshead stone in one breath, causing many casualties and chaos to the defenders, the ladder car of the Han army began to advance again, slowly and firmly approaching the city wall, but although the city wall also quickly shot rockets to block, but the number was obviously far from enough, the strength was weak and the accuracy deviation was very small, and the threat to the ladder car of the Han army after a certain amount of fire protection treatment was very small, let alone blocking the advance speed of the Han army.

It's also very good, the Yan army still has hope, when the two Han army ladder cars approached the city wall with a small amount of fire, Zhai Xuan ordered, the Yan army soldiers who had been gathering momentum immediately threw the swallowtail torch one after another, and frantically set fire to the ladder car of the Han army, and the Han soldiers who carried the ladder forward were not to be outdone, and immediately launched a charge to the foot of the city wall, quickly put the flying ladder on the wall, and launched an ant attack on the top of the rolling stone and wood, and the shouting and killing sound on the city wall position was also completely boiling.

Hearing this sudden boiling shouting and killing, Li Scoop, who led the Yan Army Reserve to guard the inside of the West Gate, also knew that he could do it, and after hesitating for a moment, Li Scoop first arranged for his cronies to guard the jack gate, and told him that no one was allowed to put down the jack gate without his own personal order, and then he went down to the city with a grim expression and came to the inside of the city gate, but when Li Scoop was taken aback, when he came to the city gate, Zhai Xu, the guard of the west gate of the Yan army, appeared at the city gate first. He also had a team of his personal guards with him.

Seeing Li Scoop appear, Zhai Xu's face also changed, obviously he was also a little shocked, and took the initiative to say without waiting for Li Scoop to speak: "General Li, I'm here to see the situation at the city gate, why are you here?" ”

"I'm also worried about the situation at the city gate, so come and have a look." Li Scoop smiled and asked Zhai Xu: "Zhai Junzun, listen to the voice, the army of the tyrants is already attached to the ants, why haven't you come to the city to command and supervise the battle?" ”

"Go up right away, go up right away." Zhai Xu's gaze was obviously a little distant, and he said with a forced smile: "General Li, please leave to you here, I'll go first." ”

After that, Zhai Xuan really turned around and walked to the upper city, Li Scoop quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then Li Scoop hesitated, but still said to the city gate official: "Give me the key, and the key to the city gate of the urn city, just in case, from now on, the city gate key will be in the hands of the general himself." ”

The city gate official sang a promise and immediately took out the key, but when Li Scoop was about to reach out to pick it up, Zhai Xu, who had already turned around and left, suddenly turned around, and said loudly while leading his own soldiers back in stride: "Slow! General Li, I am the guard of Ximen, why should the key be handed over to you for safekeeping? ”

"Oops! Am I showing a flaw? Li Scoop complained bitterly in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Junzun, the king has an order, it is for the last general to guard the city gate, urn city and jack gate for you, and of course the key must be kept by the last general." ”

"But the king didn't say that the key was to be handed over to you." Zhai Xuan retorted, stretched out his hand to the city gate official, and ordered: "Give me all the keys!" ”

The city gate official looked at Li Scoop who also wanted to hand over the key by himself, Li Scoop had sweat rolling on his forehead, but Li Scoop knew very well that once the city gate official handed over the key to Zhai Xu, then he not only had no chance to quickly open the city gate to welcome the Han army into the city, but after a slight delay, all his family members in the palace city had to die without a place to be buried, so Li Scoop had no choice but to insist: "The king wants me to guard the city gate, of course the city gate key must be handed over to me for safekeeping, give me the key!" ”

Zhai Xuan glared at Li Xu, Li Xu, who was hiding a ghost, was even more panicked in his heart, and he could only look at Zhai Xu with a strong spirit, and then Li Xuan also had an idea, and suddenly reached out to grab the key that the city gate official had already held in his hand, and wanted to get the key in his hand first, who would have thought that Li Scoop's action was fast, Zhai Xu's action was also fast, and he suddenly reached out to grab the key, and the two hands also grabbed the key almost at the same time, and no one let him, and he was frozen in the air.

"Let it go!" Zhai Xuan roared, "I am the guard of the West Gate, for the safety of the West Gate of Jicheng, the key must be in my hands!" ”

"Let it go!" Li Lao roared angrily, "The king named me to guard the door, of course the key belongs to me!" Let me go! ”

"If you don't let go, don't blame me for being rude!"

When Zhai Xu and Li Xuan shouted this sentence in unison, their own soldiers also showed their weapons at the same time, Li Xuan and Zhai Xuan were shocked when they saw it, and they hurriedly shouted in unison: "Li Xuan (Zhai Xu), what do you want to do?" Want to rebel? ”

Or after shouting this sentence at the same time, in fact, it was the anxious Li Scoop and Zhai Xuan who came back to their senses at the same time, and then Li Scoop was moved in his heart, and he hurriedly held the key tightly while whispering: "Zhai Junzun, do you really want to rebel and open the city gate to let people outside?" ”

Zhai Xu's face turned white all of a sudden, but seeing that Li Xu's eyes seemed to have no malice, Zhai Xuan was also blessed, and hurriedly whispered: "Do you also want to rebel and open the city gate to welcome the imperial army into the city?" ”

Seeing that the situation was extremely wrong, after hesitating for a while, Li Scoop said in a very small voice: "I am from the imperial court. ”

Zhai Xu's body shook, then showed a little smile and said in a low voice: "I am also from the imperial court." ”

Looking at each other in surprise, Li Scoop and Zhai Xuan suddenly laughed together, laughing extremely happily, and then the two waved their hands to let their own soldiers retreat, and at the same time joined hands to open the city gate with a smile on their faces. ”

"Shut up!" Li Scoop and Zhai Xuan once again spoke in unison and roared: "One more piece of nonsense, it will be your head immediately!" Help us open the door, you can't do without your benefits! ”

The city gate official froze, and after quickly coming back to his senses, the city gate official didn't say much, and hurriedly came up to help Zhai Xuan and Li scoop down the door latch, open the inner city gate, and then accompanied Zhai Li and the two to rush to the urn city gate, and opened the urn city gate, but the city gate just opened, and the Han soldiers who were attacking with ants were of course thunderous with joy, and immediately swarmed into the city, and Tao Xi, the general of the Han army who commanded the siege in the distance, was even more dancing, and couldn't wait to order the rear army to step forward, and directly killed into the city of Jicheng from the open city gate.

"Quick! Fast! The soldiers of the Han Dynasty, the sooner the better, our families are all in the palace, please be sure to rescue them, you must rescue them! This is the second time that General Li and Zhai Xujun Zun spoke in unison at the city gate.

The next thing was of course simple, because the front-line commander and the reserve commander both took the lead in the shameless rebellion, and the soldiers of the Han army under Tao Xi naturally entered the city of Jicheng without much effort, and quickly rushed to the city wall to take over the key points. And when the news of the West Gate broke spread, like Zhai Xu, Yan Xiangzhao, who was rebelled by the Han army through the Yan army's secret envoy, did not dare to hesitate, and immediately rushed to the north gate with the reserves under his command, and the army of Gongsun Tong, the general of the Han army, entered the city, and the Yan army general Wei Man who was on duty at the north gate of Jicheng was caught off guard, and the army under his command was suddenly in chaos, and was successfully attacked by the Han army, and took the opportunity to attack the city, and the north gate of Jicheng was quickly declared.

However, the Yan army on the east gate temporarily withstood the attack of the Zhao army, but after seeing the fire in the city and the continuous appearance of the crimson Han army flags, the Yan army at the east gate also quickly panicked.

At this time, of course, Zang Di also knew about the great changes in the battlefield situation, and learned that Zhao shot off his tail and was shameless enough to lead the reserve army to attack the defenders of the North Gate, and Zhai Xuan and Li Scoop joined forces to dedicate the city, and the thunderous Zang Di father and son immediately took all their family members in front of him, but when Zang Di ordered these family members to be executed, his henchman Xiao Eunuch Zhongxing said that he jumped out to stop it, and said: "King, you can't kill it, you also have family members!" You have to think about your concubines and grandchildren! ”

"What do you mean?" Zang Di turned his head and asked.

"King, why don't you want to think about it, if you kill Zhao and Zhai Xu, how can they let your family go?" Bank of China said hurriedly said: "In the next step, no matter whether the king surrenders or breaks through the city, his family will definitely not be able to be saved, if you kill the family members of Zhao and Zhai Xu, how can they not kill your family members to take revenge?" They have made great contributions to the tyrant army, how can the tyrant army prevent them from taking revenge? ”

The Bank of China said this and reminded Zang Di, considering that even if he broke through, it would be impossible to take away the concubine and his descendants, in order to leave a chance for his grandchildren to live, Zang Di reluctantly nodded, waved his hand and asked the guards to escort out those crying and crying family members, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Immediately call all the troops that can still be restrained, break through from the south gate and go north, and go to the grassland to join the Huns!" Borrow troops from the Huns to find these puppets to take revenge! ”

In history, Zang Tu made Liu Laosan's rebellion, the process was very tragic, only three months before and after Liu Laosan was easily pacified, during which the scale, process and influence were small to the point that the Han Dynasty history books were too lazy to spend pen and ink to record, at this historical level, Zang Tu made Xiang Kang's anti-situation is even more tragic, tragic to the point that before the main force of the Han army's counterinsurgency arrived at the Yandi battlefield, the forward army of the three Han armies broke through the national capital Jicheng and eliminated the nest.

Fortunately, Zang Di's next luck was not bad, after leaving the city from the south gate without the enemy with a barely controllable army, although the Han army pursued with all its might, it also successfully defeated the defeated brigade of the Yan army, but because of the large number of cavalry of the Yan army and the relatively strong mobility, Zang Di and his son finally got rid of the pursuit of the Han army with more than 2,000 horsemen, and fled directly to the northern grassland to join the Huns, very lucky not to be killed or captured by the Han soldiers, but Zang Di's concubines and grandchildren were all captured by the Han army, The Yandi rebellion initiated by Zang Di's father and son was completely put down by the Han army after only about a month.

By the way, perhaps it is the inertia of history, after the Yan army general Wei Man led more than ten horsemen to flee to Liaodong, he used his prestige as a county guard in Liaodong to re-raise an army of more than 1,000 people, although Wei Man did not dare to continue to be the enemy of the Han army, but still fled east to Korea as in history, and launched a rebellion in Korea a few years later, and killed the king of Jizi Korea, Ji Zhun established himself as the king, and established Wei Korea.
