On the battlefield, the two sides fought fiercely, tens of thousands of weapons on both sides of the war, shining in the sunlight, this period, the long weapons of the cavalry were mainly Changge.

The cavalry of the Han army became more and more courageous, and the combat experience of several years, coupled with the usual hard training of riding skills and fighting skills on horseback, was fully displayed in battle, and more and more enemy soldiers died under their Changge.

The soldiers of the Yongjun Army, their morale is not high, and in the face of the strong momentum and attack power of the Han army, they can't help but be frightened, and gradually develop a fear of the enemy, and their fighting spirit is lower, and their combat effectiveness is further weakened. Their casualty ratio with the Han army gradually increased from 2 to 1 at the beginning to 3 to 1 and then to 4 to 1.

Zhang Han originally wanted to fight a decisive battle with the Han army, but it was helpless but this situation, seeing that the situation was getting more and more unfavorable, the defeat was decided, if he didn't withdraw in time, this life would be here.

"Zhang Han, take your life..."

Fan Hao roared, and finally killed in front of Zhang Han, the two brave generals fought, Zhang Han's force was not weak, and he temporarily resisted Fan Xu.

Ouyang Ling also killed this side, and when he approached Zhang Han, a Yongjun general blocked him.

Kong Ju is fighting with all his might against the other Yong troops.

"Jin Zhao, come here..."

Zhang Han shouted for Jin Zhao to come over, asking the general to cover his retreat.

Not long after, Jin Zhao rushed to Zhang Han's side and fought with Fan Hao with his master.

"Block it for me..."

After Zhang Han gave the order, he shook a shot at Fan Xu, then quickly turned the horse's head and vigorously raised the reins to let the mount move forward at full speed.

"Zhang Hanxiu goes..."

Fan Xu was about to catch up, but Jin Zhao attacked him and blocked him to death, so he had to give up the pursuit.

Among Zhang Han's 6,000 cavalry, there were six partial generals, and Zhang Han called two partial generals to retreat with him, and the others stayed behind the palace.

The main general fled, and the officers and soldiers who stayed behind suddenly fell on the verge of collapse, and no longer had the intention of fighting, almost becoming a one-sided massacre of the Han army, the soldiers fled in a hurry, and the Han army chased after them.

"Those who descend do not kill... Those who descend do not kill..."

While the Han army was chasing, Kong Ju and some of the soldiers shouted.

In the end, some of the Yongjun threw away their weapons, dismounted and surrendered, some of those who did not surrender were beheaded, and only a small number of people fled.

On the east city wall of Chen Cang, King Yongbing was depressed when he saw the fiasco of his side, and Zhang Zhi was even more angry and slammed his fist on the wall.

The generals all saw that the tens of thousands of Han troops on the opposite side were preparing to attack the city.

Yao Tong said: "General, the Han army is about to attack the city. ”

Zhang Zhi said loudly: "Brothers, the Han army is going to attack the city next, and I will defend it to the death, and whoever fails to fight will be executed on the spot." ”

Even if the cavalry battle failed, Zhang Zhi did not think that Yongguo would eventually fail, not only Sima Xin and Dong Fei would come to support, but Xiang Yu would not sit idly by.

Just Chen Cangcheng, Zhang Zhi decided that it was absolutely impossible to lose. Indeed, the terrain of Chencang is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is impregnable.

——————

Outside the east gate of Chencang, the Han army was preparing to attack the city, first of all, with catapults, which the soldiers pushed to the right attack distance, and the soldiers who brought in stones as projectiles.

Behind the catapults, there were a large number of siege soldiers, including wooden curtains, ladders, rushing carts and other siege equipment, as well as sacks prepared to fill the moat, which contained earth.

Behind the siegers, there were several hundred archers.

The soldiers had just witnessed the defeat of the enemy cavalry by friendly forces, and they were all in high spirits.

——————

On the small hill, Deng Yulong and Liu Bang witnessed the entire battle process.

"Pass my order and let Fan Xu and Kong Ju pay attention to capturing the enemy's horses."

During this period, war horses were a very valuable resource, and if there were not enough horses, no matter how scientific training methods and sufficient time were, it would not be possible to form enough cavalry.

"No!"

The herald mounted his horse and galloped in the corresponding direction.

Liu Bang was in a very happy mood and said with a smile: "This chapter has always looked down on all the princes, and only Xiang Yu has defeated him. This time, he saw the power of our Han army. ”

Deng Yulong has absolute confidence in his own command to seize Guanzhong, but he must do it step by step, and he will be happy for every victory and every progress he has made.

Now, he's just as happy.

——————

Outside the east gate of Chencang, Cao Shen gave the order to attack the city.

First of all, a catapult threw stones at the city wall, and the Yongwang soldiers on the city wall had to hide in the bulge on the city wall to hide.

A group of soldiers followed and rushed forward, the first soldier carried sacks, the middle soldier belonged to the main force of the siege, and behind the main force were archers.

As the soldiers in front were about to rush to the moat, the archers fired arrows at the walls.

Under the cover of catapults and bows and arrows, the soldiers threw sacks into the moat, which had to be filled in as a way to get closer to the walls.

Under the suppression of the Han army, occasionally the enemy army shot arrows at the front of the Han army from the battlements, causing certain casualties to the Han army.

However, the stones thrown by the Han army's catapults and the arrows fired by the archers also threatened them, and some of the Yongwang soldiers who launched the attack were stoned to death or shot by arrows.

After much effort, the Han army finally filled in one of the moats.

Subsequently, the Han army pushed wooden curtains and ladders and rushed to the city wall.

At this time, the catapult in the rear can only stop, the catapult throwing degree is not very high, when the department is close to the city wall, if the catapult continues to throw, it may hit its own people.

The archers were much more accurate in their shooting, and continued to shoot arrows at the enemy troops on the walls, continuing to provide cover for the besieging troops.

Since Deng Yulong served as a general, Xiao He has planned to build various weapons and equipment, and in the past few months, he has made a large number of arrows.

However, lacking the suppression of catapults, the Yongwang army on the city wall began to counterattack with all their might, and the archers shot arrows at the Han army rushing towards the city wall.

The wooden mantle is a siege vehicle equipped with wooden planks as a cover, which can buffer projectiles such as arrows, stones, and rolling logs, and the soldiers hide behind the wooden mantle and slowly advance.

A ladder is not just a ladder, but also a protective shield, a grappling hook, etc.

With these engineering tools, it is indeed effective in resisting the fire of the enemy soldiers on the city wall before rushing to the city wall.

However, when approaching the city walls, it was different, and the enemy poured oil prepared in advance on the wooden siege equipment, threw another torch down, and immediately caught fire. The Han soldiers on fire screamed and wailed, and the fight was very fierce.

Without bows and arrows to support the suppression, it is impossible to capture a strong city, and even if there is a bow and arrow to support it, it will be very costly to capture the city.

Deng Yulong and Liu Bang were still standing on the small hill, observing the siege together.

Looking at the soldiers who kept falling, but Chen Cang was still solid, Liu Bang frowned.

"Deng Aiqing, forcibly attacking the city is not a way, do you have any other plans?"

Last night, although Liu Bang was not present at the drumming and raising the account, someone naturally told Liu Bang about the things in the account, and Deng Xing said that he had a comprehensive consideration for Fan Xu's question at that time, and Liu Bang believed that Deng Xing should have other plans.
