"Grandma, what the hell is Tang Jun doing, why don't you fight?"

In the cold winter, Zhang Xianzhong scolded and looked up from the clairvoyant mirror and found that none of the Tang soldiers on the city wall were missing. All the Great Western Army originally thought that the Tang Army would continue to fight, but they did not expect that they would not fight at all, but just silently waited for the enemy to attack.

What's going on?

"Regardless of them, the archers continue to attack, taking turns to fight to the limit!" Zhang Xianzhong stiffened his face and ordered sharply.

"Order!"

Countless arrows shot from all directions to the head of the city, like black locusts flying up in the sky, attacking the Tang infantry who were in position at the head of the city and were densely covered with large shields.

There was a clanging sound like rain, and it immediately kept coming, as if a man-made rainstorm was pouring out, so that the Tang infantry behind the big shield could barely raise their heads.

Although the big shield covered most of the arrows, and the Tang infantry was well-equipped, it still couldn't block the enemy's bows and arrows too much.

The archers of the enemy army were throwing wave after wave towards the city, and after one wave of men ran out of strength, another wave of people began to attack, and six waves of personnel were replaced, and it took more than an hour for this intensive rain of arrows to end.

At this time, the head of Langzhong City, as if dense artemisia grass had suddenly grown, every battlement was filled with dense arrows, and the big shield of the Tang Army was also full of pits that had been shot out by arrows, like the faces of pockmarks.

This projectile, which lasted for more than an hour, caused about 400 Tang infantry at the head of the city to be killed or wounded, and the combat effectiveness was weakened a lot. When the enemy's arrows finally stopped, a large number of young men rushed to the city, and quickly dragged the Tang soldiers who were killed or wounded by the arrows down the city.

While the dead or wounded Tang troops continued to be transported down from the city, the more than 3,000 Tang army musketeers quietly boarded the city.

Now there is no bow and arrow to shoot at themselves, and the enemy army is going to start attacking the city, so the fire of the Tang army is the best and the best opportunity to play.

Seeing that the defenders at the head of the city were killed and wounded, and there was no artillery to return fire, the morale of the Great Western Army outside the city was suddenly greatly boosted, and in the rumbling siege drums, they let out a beastly howl, and they accelerated the pace of rushing forward.

Siege ladders quickly passed through the emergency pontoon bridges built on the moat, and they approached like centipedes that would crawl automatically, and the hooks of the ladder heads clung to the battlements at the head of the city, and leaned firmly against the head of the city.

Once the siege ladder is fixed, the swarms of the Great Western Army will immediately go up the ladder like ants on a tree, and attack the city head.

And those big western troops who pushed carts to attack the city gate no longer had any scruples, they tried their best to speed up their advance, and brought the huge and heavy carts close to the direction of the city gate, and the great western army began to lay wooden planks on the moat, making a simple pontoon bridge, ready to transport vehicles across the river, and then crash the city gate suspension bridge.

At this moment, those firearms that had quietly entered the city and set up an attack formation at the same time finally opened fire intensively.

Three thousand guns fired in unison, and the first salvo was fired, with a total of more than 2,500 shots.

"Bang bang bang! ……”

Rows of bright red embers flew together, like a long bright red ribbon, as beautiful as hellfire, with a unique beauty like a death ritual. A large mass of choking white gunpowder smoke poured up, and more than 2,500 small three-coin buckshots, like a swarm of death bees flying away in unison, let out a slight and cheerful chirp, swarming towards the city wall, and the Great Western Army, which was trying to climb.

The roaring death bee swarm, chirping and smiling, quickly burrowed into the body of Zheng Jun on the opposite side.

The tiny lead bullets weighing three coins burrowed into the human body, breaking bones, tearing muscles, and the surging bullets churned the internal organs into a pulp, forming a terrible cavity effect.

The Great Western Army gathered under the city, as well as the Great Western Army soldiers who were climbing, immediately many of them bloomed like a trick, and the people who were hit fell on their backs as if they had been struck by a heavy hammer.

The impact of this lead bullet was so great that those big Western troops who happened to block the lead bullet with their shields could not withstand this huge impact, and they staggered backwards and fell. It's just that as soon as they fell, they were immediately trampled to death and injured by the soldiers of the Great Western Army who were extremely fanatical and still rushed straight behind, and the scene was a mess.

The first round of shooting, although it was impossible to aim accurately due to time constraints, also caused at least more than 800 casualties on the spot of the Great Western Army, which made the formation of the Great Western Army suddenly appear chaotic.

When the formation of the Great Western Army was scattered and the speed was slightly sluggish, the second round of fire salvos began again.

"Bang bang bang! ……”

The guns rang out loudly, the embers flew away, and more than 2,500 guns were fired, and more than 2,500 lead bullets roared out caused more than 800 casualties among the soldiers of the Great Western Army.

The attack of the Great Western Army became more and more chaotic, and the speed of the impact became less and less, and the original fanatical and bloodthirsty expressions on the faces of those Zheng soldiers who rushed to the front began to recede, and many people showed extremely frightened expressions, because they did not know when such a bad luck of almost unilateral slaughter would befall them.

Zhang Xianzhong, who was monitoring behind the battle, saw that his own soldiers were in the dense concentration of fire of the Tang army, and before they could reach the firing range, they began to appear chaotic and wavering, and the speed and strength of the impact were greatly reduced, and he couldn't help but be angry again.

Damn, two rounds of salvo shots disrupted the formation of their own attack, these people who are afraid of death, they are really useless, and they are really embarrassing to my big western country.

"Give it all to Lao Tzu! Rush up and fight the Tang Army to the end! Don't fucking act like you haven't had enough to eat! Zhang Xianzhong's eyes were blood-red, and he roared with his sword.

After Zhang Xianzhong scolded sharply, he ordered his guards to step forward to supervise the formation, rectify the formation, and force these Zheng army soldiers who were driven away to be no different from pigs and sheep to continue to rush forward, attack the shield, and go to fight the Tang army in hand-to-hand combat.

Under the brutal suppression, the Onishi soldiers began to restore order and reorganized their attacks, carefully holding their shields and constantly climbing towards the city.

The Tang army fired firecrackers one after another, and the enemy attacked desperately, and the soldiers of the Onishi Army who were killed and wounded constantly fell from the siege ladder screaming, and the scene was very bloody and cruel.

In a short time, among the defenders of the city, those firecrackers had to withdraw from the city and retreat to the city because they had fired nearly ten guns in a row, and the use of firearms was close to the limit.

At the current head of the city, there are only about 5,000 people left in the gun and shield battle array, and more than 500 people of the rampant team, still on the four city walls, barely supporting, struggling to attack and kill the enemy troops who rushed to the city.

When the soldiers of the Great West jumped from the head of the siege ladder with a shout, they were immediately sandwiched in the middle by several large shields surrounded by a semi-arc, and before they could gain a firm foothold, behind each shield, several fierce spears immediately attacked from different directions at the same time, and the heads, chests, or necks of these Great Western soldiers were immediately stabbed by deadly spears, sending these Great Western troops who had not had time to react to hell in an instant.

The entrance to the battlement was quickly filled with the corpses of the Great Western Army.

It's just that with the passage of time, more and more Daxi troops began to jump from the city wall, and the semi-arc spear and shield battle array, which was originally tightly surrounded, was constantly broken away and deformed. However, as soon as there were casualties among the soldiers, new shield soldiers and spearmen immediately made up for them.

The city walls everywhere were in a stalemate for a while, and on the western city wall where the enemy was attacking, as the last winner of the Tang army, it was the time to show his skills.

The rampant team of more than 500 people, like a bloodthirsty beast, spread its sharp claws and pounced on the enemy on the opposite side.

The mecha monster-like rampant team, dressed in triple armor, like a miniature tank, and the heavy tiger knives, tiger guns, long-handled knives, thick-backed scythes and other heavy weapons in everyone's hands, all slashed and slashed at the soldiers of the Great Western Army who were not on their feet. Wherever the sharp sword light went, there were corpses and flesh and blood.

At the same time, in the corner tower, there were some gunners who had not reached the limit of shooting, and they were constantly loading ammunition, and they kept reloading and firing at the soldiers of the Great Western Army who were climbing on the siege ladder and gathering under the ladder, and the gunfire came and went, and from time to time the Great Western Army screamed and fell to the ground and died.

The four walls of Langzhong City have finally been completely transformed into two flesh mills.

Countless corpses of the Great Western Army and the corpses of the dead Tang Army soldiers were mixed with each other, lying on the ground horizontally, and the blood of these enemies who fought to the death before their deaths finally flowed together. The originally dry city wall road, because of the overlapping flow of blood, became extremely viscous, but it was wet and slippery when stepped on, and it was almost difficult to stand firmly.

After all, the number of defenders was limited, and the number of enemy soldiers was too much, so the weaker their performance, the more rampant the Great Western Army under the city became.

"Brothers, hold on, you must kill the enemy!"

At such a critical moment, Gao Jie, the commander of the Tang Army, let out a roar of almost despair, standing at the head of the north gate in person, he drew his sword, his eyes were wide open, and he was ready to fight to the death with the Great Western Army that was about to capture the city.

Seeing that his own soldiers gradually gained the upper hand, Zhang Xianzhong, who was watching the battle below, was very proud, and immediately ordered his subordinates to step up the attack, and must use the advantage of troops to wipe out all the defenders in the city.

Gao Jie fought hard, cutting down three enemy soldiers in succession, when a sharp spear flew into his shoulder.

The sharp tip of the spear pierced deep into the muscles through the gaps in the armor, and the dull clatter of bones could be heard.

Gao Jie screamed and stabbed the sneak attack of the Great Western Army soldier with all his might, and then fell back softly,

"General Gao!"

"Mayor Gao!"

The guards screamed one after another, and then protected Gao Jie closely, and retreated together. And next to them, a large number of Tang troops swarmed in, blocking the close pursuit of the Onishi soldiers.

Seeing that the main general of the Tang army was injured, the soldiers of the Onishi army who were besieging the city became more and more bold and excited, and they were like a group of crazy beasts, desperately attacking the city.

The situation in the ancient city of Langzhong, at this point, has finally reached the most dangerous moment.

"Pass on my military order, the whole army will attack the head of Langzhong City, and we must kill the Tang army in the city, including the people in the city, to Lao Tzu!" Seeing that the party had begun to gain more and more advantages, Zhang Xianzhong was so excited that his eyes were glowing red.

"Order!"

As soon as the herald went down to give the order, Zhang Xianzhong suddenly realized that from the back direction, at the flat horizon in the distance, there seemed to be a faint movement.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw a sight that surprised him so much that he couldn't close his mouth.

There seems to be a black line, which is extremely thin and faint at first, and gradually becomes thicker and thicker, and finally this black line is like magic, changing countless soldiers and horses and flags, dazzling swords and guns, neighing, whistling and shouting, surging in their own direction.

In the boiling heat, these rushing soldiers and horses, showing twisted and strange shapes, look very unreal, as if they exist in a dream.

No way?!

The reinforcements of the Tang Army arrived unexpectedly from the sky at this critical time, but they were completely caught off guard.

That's right, it was the two battalions of the second town of the Tang Army, as well as the soldiers and horses of the eleventh town of the Tang Army, as well as a large number of surrendered troops led by Sun Kewang, Ma Yuanli, Liu Jinzhong and others, with a total strength of nearly 200,000 Tang Army reinforcements, finally arrived at this critical moment.

At the head of Langzhong City, those soldiers of the Tang Army who were fighting hard for their lives, saw that at such a critical time, their own reinforcements finally arrived, and thunderous cheers immediately broke out on the four city walls.

"! Monk An, this guy finally came when he was burning his eyebrows, and they really fucking came at the right time. Gao Jie, the deputy mayor who was seriously injured, panted and wiped the blood on his face, but his face was full of ecstasy like other soldiers.

Everyone didn't expect that the Tang Army would be able to rush here at such a critical time, which was really saving Langzhong City at a critical moment.

As the main general of the city guard, Gao Jie's original desperate expression had been swept away, and with an excited face, he waved his arms vigorously and shouted at all the defenders: "Everyone! Reinforcements have arrived, and we will fight hard to kill the enemy and defeat the rogues to welcome the reinforcements! ”

Encouraged by the main general, the morale of the defenders of the city was like a rainbow, and they rushed forward with shouts, and fought with the panicked enemy army, and for a time, the Great Western Army was in chaos, and there were many dead and wounded soldiers.

On the field where the cold wind was howling, an overwhelming number of Tang Army soldiers poured from the horizon, and they formed a huge rectangular battle formation nearly ten miles long, with more than thousands of cavalry on each side protecting the two wings, and roaring towards the Great Western Army in the distance.
