Zhang Ren believed that all these actions of the enemy army were to prevent him from robbing the camp at night. After all, he is most familiar with the terrain here, and a few miles behind Liu Cong's military camp is the Luojiang River.

Zhang Ren was very confident, although he was successfully countercounted by Liu Cong, he lost nearly 10,000 people. But Liu Cong's troops were not many. After today's tentative attack, tomorrow's attack will definitely be a little looser, and until the large-scale siege equipment is completed, there may not be much attack.

And it takes time to make large siege machines. During these times, Liu Xun was also able to recruit a lot of recruits in Luocheng City.

With the fortifications of Yucheng, it is no problem to block Liu Cong for a few months, he is really in danger, and he can also ask for help from Chengdu and even Ba County. Zhang Ren's advantage is that he can get a steady stream of support, while Liu Cong's army, although it is strong in combat, is lone and deep, and it is difficult to replenish once it is consumed. After Zhang Ren was defeated from the West Doumen, he was determined to defend the city.

Besides, after Wei Yan led people to cross the river from the shallows of the Rujiang River, it was dark not long after entering the mountain. In the morning, it may be because of excessive excitement that I didn't feel it. Now I know that this mountain road is really difficult to walk. The lightly armed infantrymen often fell and were bruised.

And the pedestrians in the mountains are almost extinct. Less than a third of the way it was dark.

had to light torches, but Wei Yan strictly ordered them to go down and have a torch for every twenty people. In this way, the soldiers were almost holding hands and groping forward, and the speed was naturally not fast.

After another two hours, when another third of the march had passed, Wei Yan ordered forty people to share one torch, and that a horizontal distance of twenty paces must be maintained between the torches.

When the lights of the city could be seen from the distance on the mountain, the three thousand people crawled almost in the dark. At this time, only a dozen torches were left in the front, and the people behind could only hold the people in front, listen to the sound, and advance with the faint light of the fire. Most of the soldiers consciously squatted and sneaked around. In case you fall! Even so, hundreds of people gradually fell behind the group. Those who were injured were asked to stay where they were and talk about it after dawn tomorrow.

After Liu Bi arrived at the West Gate, soldiers kept coming to report that they had found torches in Xishan, asking dozens of them and then a dozen. In the end, Liu Bi became impatient and yelled at the soldiers defending the city: "If the enemy army has broken through the city gate, you are not allowed to bother me." Who dares to quarrel with grandpa to sleep, I will split him. ”

The total number of soldiers guarding the city is only 400 people, and the patrol on the city wall is only about 100 people, and they are divided into several classes. They don't bother to bother either. Anyway, there are mountains and mountains outside this west gate, and there will be no enemies coming.

It's not that Liu Yan is derelict in his duties, he heard Zhang Ren say that Wei Yan disappeared in the mountains and forests to the west. It is normal for torches to appear now, and it must be that the enemy army has sent people to look for them without fear of alarming the defenders. Besides, a dozen torches, at best, there are only about a hundred or so people. This is not daytime, and it is even more impossible for Liu Bi to lead people to attack with idle eggs. Zhang Ren has given a death order, and he is ready to defend it!

Watching the new generals fall asleep, the defenders on these city gates are not taken seriously, and those who should have rested are asleep. Those who had been on duty gradually became lazy, and a few even fell asleep against the wall.

If you want to say that Wei Yan is this time, it is almost a military order. was ambushed and defeated by Zhang Ren before, and then the good situation allowed Zhang Ren to escape. Wei Yan was very unhappy in his heart, even if Liu Cong didn't punish him, he felt ashamed of this Shu pioneer. Therefore, this time, I accidentally found that the defense of the West Gate was weak and the defenders were scarce, so I was bound to attack the city in one fell swoop to create chaos. If you can take advantage of the situation, it will be a great achievement. Even if you can't capture the city, you can still deter the defenders in the city.

However, this mountain road is really difficult to walk, and it is a night march. When Wei Yan and his men arrived at the mountain closest to the city, it was already in the middle of the night, there were 3,000 people, and 500 people were injured or left behind. However, Wei Yan estimated that the sneak attack on Ximen by 2,500 people was enough.

Just after the ugly hour, at the west gate of the city, the soldiers stationed there all fell asleep. Under the city, Wei Yanzheng and his subordinates approached quietly. As soon as the sky was shining with a glimmer of light, Wei Yan set off.

They also have two simple siege ladders!

Two hundred steps, one hundred steps, and the enemy still did not find out. Almost all of them consciously hold their breath. For fear of making a little noise and waking up the defenders on the city wall.

Seeing that the ladder had reached the bottom of the city, the enemy still did not notice.

"Up!"

At the sound of the order, some daring warriors climbed up the ladder towards the wall. One, two...... It wasn't until the sixth Jingzhou soldier climbed the city wall that the defenders finally had an alert person, woke up in a haze, and looked out of the wall, my mother, it's black!

The word "enemy ......" was seen on the ground before it could be exported.

As more and more people climbed the city wall, the soldiers on duty were finally awakened. "Enemy attack! In the panic ...... the enemy's attack, most of them just stood up and were killed on the ground before they could draw their weapons.

Soon the gates were opened, and more than 2,000 people flocked to the city. The west gate of the city was lost in an instant! Most of the soldiers were killed while they were still asleep, and a few were killed on the spot after some resistance.

Poor Liu Bi was stationed at the West Gate for only one night, and he was taken prisoner in the chaotic battle.

Some smart soldiers who wanted to flee the scene and go to the city to warn were all killed by Wei Yan, who had been prepared for a long time.

"Light the torch and come with me!" Seeing that Ximen had succeeded, Wei Yan wanted to take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle. At this time, the sky is gradually brightening, and the buildings on the street can be faintly distinguished.

Wei Yan led his men to gallop through the city, while some of the soldiers ran along the city wall in the north and south directions. Previously, Liu Cong had an order not to hurt the innocent. In order to maximize the results of the battle. Wei Yan left nearly 300 people at the door to prepare for the final ignition. He led people into the city, but anyone who found something like the government and the equipment warehouse was set on fire.

After a stick of incense, the flames soared into the sky, illuminating the entire city.

"General, General...... The enemy army has broken through the West Gate and is now setting fire to all over the city! "Simon was garrisoned with five hundred soldiers. More than 100 people on duty survived May Day. The person who came to report the news also relied on the darkness and familiarity with the terrain to avoid Wei Yan and the others.

"What?" Zhang Ren hurriedly walked outdoors and saw the smoke billowing in the west, the sky was just dawning at this time, and the fire in the west of the city was particularly dazzling. Hurriedly grabbed the soldier and asked, "How many enemies are there?" What about General Liu? ”

"The small ones didn't see clearly, at least there were thousands of people. Except...... I'm afraid no one is spared except me. ”

"Wow......" Zhang Ren only felt his chest tighten, and opened his mouth to spew out a bloody sword.

"General!" The soldiers who rushed over were also shocked when they saw this situation, and hurriedly supported Zhang Ren.

"Pass my generals, assemble the team quickly, and be sure to block the enemy army!" Zhang Ren didn't know how many people had come in from the West Gate, so he could only go and see the situation first.

It's not that Zhang is willful and anxious, although the city is large, the east and west divisions are obvious. Because of the convenience of travel in the southeast, north and south, it naturally brings together many rich people and ordinary people. The west of the city is relatively dilapidated, and it is precisely like this that the successive Taishou of Guanghan County have set up the government in the east of the city. Most of the military camps, equipment depots, and grain depots are in the west of the city. Now the enemy soldiers are talking a lot, and they are setting fire everywhere, and once they set fire to the grain depot and equipment depot, the loss will be great.

Just when Zhang Ren was breathing, his own soldiers had already taken armor and war horses. Zhang Ren dressed up and ran non-stop in the direction of the accident. The soldiers who had been ordered to defend the city also rushed to the west of the city more and more. They don't need Zhang Ren to tell them, they also know what it means to be on fire in the west of the city!

"Lord, lord. A fire broke out on the west side of the city! ”

"Huh? It seems that Wen Chang has succeeded! The order went down, and the three armies stormed the north gate! Liu Cong was woken up in his sleep, and when he heard that there was a fire on the west side of the city, he knew that Wei Yan and others must have entered the city, and in order to cooperate with Wei Yan and others to expand the results of the battle, he immediately arranged for a large army to attack the city.

When the army got the order, it became lively in an instant, and the north gate of the city, which was still silent for a moment, made the vegetable market that suddenly opened as lively as every. This was also arranged by Liu Cong in advance, and before the people arrived in the city, they first made a noise. In order to attract the defenders of the city.

Sure enough, when the defenders of the city heard that it was very noisy outside the city, they took a look and saw that it was dark and oppressive.

What's going on, the city is being attacked before it is completely dawn on this day? Don't sleep anymore, don't eat anymore? "Enemy attack!" Immediately the alarm went off. The defenders in the city were also attracted by magnets at this moment, and they automatically ran towards the north gate close to the north gate. Those who were near the west gate ran to the west gate.

And Liu Cong's army that was besieging the city, except for a few simple ladders, only had a temporary rushing car. Supposedly, this is completely incapable of a large-scale assault. But tens of thousands of people flocked to the city walls, and the scene was quite spectacular.

However, what is even more spectacular is the west of the city, Wei Yan and the others still ignited aimlessly at first, waiting for the sky to get brighter. Wei Yan and others were surprised to find that most of the west side of the city was military facilities, and there were few private houses.

Where is the grain depot? Seeing the set fire barracks one by one, Wei Yan scratched his head.

"General, there is an enemy coming. We're still centralized, right? ”

"Well, send a signal, let everyone concentrate first, and see if a few people come to die!" Wei Yan knew that once the enemy army came, it meant that the defenders in the city already knew about it, and he was afraid that he would suffer a loss if he dispersed his actions.

However, it is not much of a problem to slaughter the enemy for a while the enemy is still unstable.

Soon, Wei Yan's subordinates gradually gathered more than 2,000 people.

"Keep your eyes open and see where the enemy is going!" After Wei Yan finished speaking, he led the people to rush towards a minimum enemy army, and the gun flew in his hand, and the man fell down from his horse when he hit the abdomen.

This person was originally a sentinel in the city, and he came to check the situation, but he was arrested by Wei Yan. Seeing Wei Yan riding on his horse triumphantly, several of his own soldiers also drew gourds in the same way, quietly hiding around the corner, and grabbed four or five war horses in a short time.

"Hehe, boys, go around and see where the most enemies are gathered? Don't be taken captive! ”
