Chapter 57: The Battle of Chencang
To the east of Chencang, countless torches shine in the night sky, and dozens of war drums are gathered together, and the sound of drums here shakes the sky, and the momentum is extremely huge.
Deng Yulong issued another order, and tens of thousands of soldiers shouted slogans at the same time.
"The Han army will win... Take Chencang"
"The Han army will win... Take Chencang"
………
The shouts of tens of thousands of soldiers were intertwined with the sound of drums, and the scene was shocking and added to the majesty.
In the nearby forest, the sleeping birds and some of the animals that had hibernated were awakened and fled in a hurry.
Deng Yulong commanded the battle at the scene, and Liu Bang also observed here.
The sound at the scene was deafening, and if you have to face this noise of more than 100 decibels for a long time, you will inevitably have damage to your ears and may cause a nervous breakdown.
The siege team in front of the city is slowly advancing, the catapults have begun to eject, this time the catapults gathered are more than the last siege, a large number of stones are smashed on the city wall of Chencang at the same time, and the Yongjun army hiding on the city wall can feel the vibration of the city wall.
The siege party approached the city walls, and a fierce siege battle ensued.
The Han army's offensive this time was more fierce than the last time, and it was necessary to attack the city with all its might to create conditions for a sneak attack by the surprise soldiers.
The soldiers of King Yong, who were originally guarding the west, north and south walls of Chencang, were ordered to rush to the east city wall to support.
Zhang Zhi and Yao Tong commanded the battle at the scene.
According to the combat ability of the soldiers, of course, the Yong army cannot be compared with the Han army, and it is precisely by relying on the Chencang city wall and relying on the geographical advantages surrounded by mountains on three sides that it can occupy an advantage in the battle of defending the city.
On the west wall of Chencang, there are only more than 100 Yong troops left here, and they are all looking for a place to curl up to avoid the cold wind, and the fierce fighting in the east seems to have nothing to do with them, and many people are glad that they don't have to participate in the battle.
Inside the tower, officers and more than a dozen soldiers were roasting and chatting.
None of the Yongjun would have thought that there would be a Han army here.
Outside the city walls, thousands of Han troops waited for their moment.
Even though there is a certain distance from the east, the sound from the east is too loud, and it still sounds loud here, which is more able to cover the movement of the troops.
After about two quarters of an hour of siege, the operation began.
The soldiers skillfully climbed up the darkness of the city wall, waving ropes and hooking their claws to the battlements, and Wang Dahu was still one of the first team of climbers.
The actions of the Tiance army themselves tried to minimize the sound, and the sound from the east muffled the sound from this side, and when the first group of soldiers climbed the city wall, they were still not discovered by the Yong army, and the next group of soldiers quickly climbed up.
"The Han army is coming..."
By the time the enemy spotted the Han army, more than 30 people had climbed the city wall, and they tried to kill the enemy as quickly as possible, each of them killing the enemy with his weapon.
The Yongjun, who were originally lax in defense and slack, panicked in the face of the sudden appearance of the Han army, and the first time they did not think about resisting, but thinking about saving their lives, and fled one after another.
Inside the city tower, more than a dozen people were still roasting the fire, and the sound of the Han army's movement on the city wall was basically muffled by the sound coming from the east, and the people here were unaware.
Suddenly, the wooden door was kicked open, and a dozen people were stunned for a moment, and before they could react, a team of Han troops rushed in.
Before this group of Yongwang soldiers could take up arms, they were all dealt with by the Han army.
The south gate of Chen Cang was easily opened by the Tiance army, and the soldiers outside swarmed in.
Han Xin said to Guan Ying: "General Guan Ying, your subordinates will act first, and you will lead the troops to follow." ”
The Han army rushed into Chencang City, if these six or seven thousand soldiers rushed over, it would be no problem to take Chencang, but they would definitely pay a certain price for casualties, if they could capture the enemy's main general, they could avoid many casualties, and the battle of Chencang would be even more perfect.
Han Xin came up with the idea, of course, for the sake of the Han army, but also for himself, he has a strong sense of fame, even if it is said to the outside world that it is the order of the general, although he is only as an executor, but as long as the task is successfully completed, it is also meritorious.
Han Xin found two intact Yongjun clothes and armor and changed them with Wang Dahu.
This time, only one person can be brought to participate in the operation, Wang Dahu has the strongest comprehensive ability in the Tiance Army, so he is naturally Han Xin's first choice.
Wang Dahu said excitedly while changing his clothes: "Follow the general and General Han, it's cool to fight." ”
Han Xin said: "On the day of licking blood on the knife edge, you may lose your life at any time, the last time you climbed the cliff, you were fatal, and this time with me, there is also a danger of losing your head." ”
Wang Dahu did not have the slightest fear, and responded: "Fame is in danger, even if there is danger, but there is hope, it is much better than being an attendant." ”
During the conversation, the two had already changed their clothes.
After Han Xin confirmed the relevant details with Guan Ying again, he took Wang Dahu and ran towards the east city gate.
The east city wall of Chencang, where the flames are soaring, the shouts of killing are continuous, and the siege battle is fiercely carried out.
Zhang Zhi was more sparing, and did not stand on the city wall full of dangers, but in the middle of the stairs connecting the city wall and the ground, just now a soldier reported to him that the north gate was raided and lost, which immediately made him fall into panic, of course, the soldiers only reported to him, and his subordinates did not know.
At this time, I saw two "soldiers" hurrying over.
This is Han Xin and Wang Dahu, Han Xin saw a person standing in the middle of the stairs, this person was wearing armor that only a general could wear, and there were soldiers guarding the stairs, it is estimated that this is the general's personal soldiers, very Coke is Zhang Zhi, in order to ensure that a hit must be hit, you must first confirm your identity.
He and Wang Dahu hurried to the entrance of the stairs and asked the soldiers here, "Where is General Zhang?" I have an urgent military intelligence report. ”
The soldier thought that he didn't see Zhang Zhi, and pointed to Zhang Zhi in the stairs and said, "There." ”
Han Xin was in front and Wang Dahu was behind, and he quickly ran up the stairs.
"General Newspaper..."
Chen Cang's six thousand defenders, Zhang Zhi can know only a few, seeing a "soldier" hurriedly running, did not suspect, when the "soldier" said halfway, suddenly moved to rush towards him, Han Xin alone is not enough to capture Zhang Zhi, Wang Dahu in the back quickly rushed up, and the two of them captured Zhang Zhi together.
This was just between lightning and flint, and when Yongjun reacted, Zhang Zhi had already been taken down, and Wang Dahu held a dagger to his neck.
Han Xin shouted: "Don't move, whoever dares to move, I'll slaughter Zhang Zhi!" ”
Yao Tong hurriedly came to the staircase, and when he saw the faces of Han Xin and Wang Dahu, he was immediately startled.
During the surprise attack on Dasanguan, Yao Tong had been directing the battle and observing the battle situation, and he could see the faces of Han Xin and Wang Dahu clearly.
"You ......"
Yao Tong pointed at them, even his hands trembling.
Han Xin laughed and said, "That's right, I am the Han general who led the army to take the Dasan Pass." ”
Then approached Zhang Zhi and said in a low voice: "Before I set out to capture Chen Cang, the general ordered me to convey to you that if you order your subordinates to surrender, not only will they not kill you, but they will also record your merits." ”
