Chapter 318: Divine Soldiers Descend from Heaven (2)
The sun was slowly rising above the horizon, the dim sky was getting brighter and brighter, a majestic city came into view, and a huge army was approaching.
The autumn wind is whiny, the late autumn wind is a little cool, and the wind blows, like someone crying loudly, and it sounds particularly terrible.
The withered yellow leaves kept falling, the horse's hooves made a crisp sound on the dry yellow leaves, and the messy footsteps kept coming, adding a lot of chill to this bleak autumn.
Looking at the city in the river in front of him, Li Hanzhi couldn't help but show a yearning look on his face.
This Hezhong Mansion is no worse than Taiyuan Mansion, with the salt pond on the side, adjacent to Guanzhong, the geographical location can be described as unique.
Don't think about Taiyuan Mansion, no one has been able to beat Li Ke's Shatuo army at present, Zhu Wen can't do it, and the imperial court can't do it.
However, if he can occupy this Hezhong Mansion, his hard life will really come to an end.
It's a pity that Wang Chongying won't watch himself occupy Hezhong Mansion, but if he can attack Hezhong Mansion first, it's not bad to grab it.
In yesterday's siege, he roughly figured out the defenders in the city. Although there are still tens of thousands of troops, it is still a little difficult to deal with the two armies of himself and Wang Chongying at the same time.
If he could wait for Wang Chongying's side to attack before attacking, then the attention of the defenders in the city would be attracted by Wang Chongying.
He gathered all the 3,000 cavalry in his hand, and if he could surprise him, he might be able to attack the city.
As long as the city gate is breached, with his 3,000 cavalry, it is enough to gallop.
"Jie Shuai, three thousand cavalry are ready, just wait for the Jie Shuai to give an order!"
Li Hanzhi looked at the city wall in the distance and said lightly, "Wait, you are not allowed to go out without the order of the commander." β
Li Hanzhi didn't wait too long, and in less than a stick of incense, a personal soldier came to report, "The fight has started, the north has started!" β
He hurriedly looked up and found that there was indeed a loud shout of killing from the north, which could be heard even from a distance of several miles.
"Beat the drums, attack!"
Suddenly, the dull beat of the drum suddenly sounded, and the earth immediately became earth-shattering, and the foraging birds fluttered their wings and flew into the sky in panic.
Under the rousing drums, groups of soldiers began to assemble on the flat ground outside the city, pushing siege weapons, and slaughtering the city gates.
I don't know what's going on, but today's attack went exceptionally well, and the defenders of the city were a little slow to react, and they didn't start firing arrows until the besieging army was less than twenty paces away from the city wall.
Li Hanzhi didn't think much about it, he just thought that his plan had worked, and the attention of the defenders in the city was attracted by Wang Chongying's side.
Thinking of this, Li Hanzhi couldn't help but rejoice, it seemed that he deserved to make a fortune.
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! β
Seeing the army outside the city coming, the defenders on the city tower realized the danger and kept shooting arrows at the city tower.
For a while, all kinds of voices were intertwined, and in Li Hanzhi's ears, it was like someone performing "Lanling King's Entrance Song" in front of him, and when he took Hezhong Mansion, he must have someone perform for himself.
Although the besieging army was constantly being knocked to the ground by sharp arrows, as more and more people began to attack the city, the defenders inside the city were also somewhat stretched.
"Kill, take the gates!"
"Kill!"
"Boom!"
A loud bang came, and the city gate was suddenly opened, and the soldiers at the city gate were stunned, although they were a little surprised why the city gate suddenly opened, but they didn't think about it, and rushed in directly.
The soldiers in the back naturally didn't know what was happening at the city gate, and when they saw the people in front of them breaking through the city gate, they all followed.
For a while, the morale of the Heyang army outside the city soared, and a large number of soldiers poured directly into the city like a tide.
"Report to the festival commander, the east city gate has been breached!"
"Pass the order and order the cavalry to attack!"
"Yes!"
"Drive! Drive! β
"Kill!"
As the order to attack came, the three thousand cavalry rushed away like a sharp arrow. Wherever they passed, the soldiers in front flashed to the side to make way for the cavalry, while they followed the cavalry, and the shouters rushed forward.
The excited appearance was like a naked woman standing in front of them, all of them with high morale.
"Marshal, the first cavalry on the right is General Li killed in battle, and the third on the left is General He killed in battle, ask for support!"
Li Hanzhi took his horse lance, carried it behind his back, and when he heard the news, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" β
"Returning to the festival marshal, after the cavalry attacked, they encountered elite infantry, there were five or six thousand people, and they also held Mo swords, and the brothers were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses."
"What? This Wang Ke actually yin me! Li Hanzhi didn't think much about it, but thought that Wang Ke deliberately cheated him, "Heyang Du." β
Several generals stepped forward!
"Follow me, reinforcements!"
Heyang is a personal army formed by Li Hanzhi, and it is also 3,000 people, and the 3,000 cavalry are the troops he relies on the most.
Just when Li Hanzhi was about to personally take these three thousand elite soldiers to reinforcements, suddenly a fast horse came to the front and said loudly, "Li Dashuai, my family commander sent me to ask for help." Our besieging army is fighting with nearly 20,000 defenders, and now the battle situation is anxious, and reinforcements from Li Dashuai are urgently needed. β
"What? 20,000 defenders? β
Li Hanzhi thought that Wang Chongying did it on purpose, not to mention the 5,000 infantry that suddenly appeared, as well as the defenders on the city tower, at least tens of thousands of people.
If there were 20,000 defenders on the north gate, wouldn't there be 30,000 defenders in the city? But according to the information he received, after yesterday's losses, there were at most 15,000 people in the city, where did the extra 15,000 people come from?
Li Hanzhi didn't think of reinforcements for the first time, but thought that Wang Chongying didn't want to lose too much, and wanted to see him and the defenders fight to the death.

"Holy shit, you talk nonsense, be careful that labor and management kill you! We have tens of thousands of defenders here, and you have a maximum of 5,000 there, and where are you getting 20,000? β
Before Li Hanzhi could speak, a general next to him went up directly to the person who came with a whip.
The people who came didn't expect Li Hanzhi's people to be so unreasonable, and they directly started beating people, feeling the hot pain on their bodies, and they couldn't help it. But thinking of his own current situation, he can't help it.
"Li Dashuai, what I said below is true. Today, my marshal sent an army of 30,000 to attack the city, and every time he wanted to break through the city gate, reinforcements arrived in the city, and we now counted more than 5,000 people.
Could it be that Li Dashuai thinks that 5,000 defenders can make us lose so many people? β
Hearing this, Li Hanzhi frowned and looked towards the north, even if the shouting and killing on his side shook the sky, the shouting and killing over there could still be heard. But if the defenders only had 5,000 men at the north gate, could there be such a battle?
Could it be that there were more than 15,000 defenders in the city? Is it reinforcements, or is it a temporary strong man?
Thinking of this, Li Hanzhi suddenly felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of equipment is the five thousand elite infantry that appeared just now?" And immediately send someone to the north gate for verification! β
