Chapter 642: Wancheng Fierce Battle

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Under the leadership of Liu Xiu and Wan Xuan, the soldiers of the Han army and the soldiers of Deng Zhongjun, who attacked the city, started a face-to-face battle.

The battle was bloody and tragic, the soldiers in the front row fell in groups, and the soldiers in the back row rushed forward in groups.

In the next few hours of fighting, Deng Zhong's army attacked the city three times in a row, but was also beaten by the Han army three times in a row.

At this point in the battle, both sides have no way out, and they are fighting with all their might. Even Deng Zhong reached the south bank of the moat, and the guards formed a shield array in front of him, and he stood behind the shield array and personally supervised the battle.

Looking at his own soldiers who were repulsed again, Deng Zhong pulled his collar fiercely, and shouted angrily: "Don't retreat, no one is allowed to retreat, even if you fight to the point of one soldier, you have to take Wancheng for me!" ”

Under Deng Zhong's order, the soldiers began the fourth strong attack.

This time, even the 5,000 soldiers who were sweeping the formation behind them stepped up and participated in the siege battle. Under the walls of Wancheng, the corpses were stacked on top of each other, and they were built so high that in the moat, there was no river water in sight, and almost all of them were corpses.

Deng Zhongjun struck with all his might, and the offensive was fierce. Many of the soldiers took off their armor and uniforms, went into battle shirtless and shirtless, and climbed up the ladder like crazy.

I have to say that the combat power and will to fight of the Nanyang Army are indeed very strong, and if they were replaced by other armies, they would have withdrawn long ago if they fought to this extent, but the Nanyang Army was able to grit its teeth and persevere.

The Han army stationed in the southern city of Wancheng had a total of less than 5,000 people, and the strength of the army had been sharply reduced to about 2,000 until now. Facing the wolf-like Deng Zhongjun, the Han army really couldn't hold on.

Wan Yu was already covered in blood, and the spear in his hand had turned into a bloody spear. Seeing that the enemy army had attacked the city again, Wan Xuan cheered up and rushed forward again with his gun.

As soon as he walked, he picked up several enemy soldiers, came to the dense place of the enemy crowd, broke the shout, and swept out the spear.

The two enemy soldiers were unable to block, and were cut open by the sharp edge of the spear, and fell to the ground, while the soldiers behind rushed towards Wan Yu.

Wan Xuan held a gun to meet the battle, and was in one place with many enemy soldiers who rushed up.

At this time, Wan Xuan was already at the end of the crossbow, and in the face of the dense enemy troops around him, his recruitment was much slower. Only a little careless, the enemy slashed his sword in the back.

Fortunately, he had armor on his body, and he removed most of the damage, but even so, a bloody cut was cut on his back.

Wan Yu snorted, shot back, and slammed back with the tail of the gun. Syllable! The tail of the gun slammed into the front door of the enemy soldier, who screamed and retreated on his back.

He turned, and another shot fell, smashing the head of the enemy soldier to pieces.

At his side, several enemies rushed in, spears after spears, stabbing at Wan Yu's body. Wan Yu fell to the ground, rolled to the side, click, click, sharp spear stabbed the ground one after another, bursting out of clusters of sparks.

Taking advantage of Wan Xuan's fall to the ground, more enemy soldiers rushed forward, raising their spears in unison, and they were about to stab Wan Xuan on the body.

At this time, Liu Xiu killed, like a whirlwind, rushed to the front of Wan Xuan, and at the same time, the Chixiao Sword swung continuously, cutting off the spears that stabbed one after another.

Immediately afterward, he unleashed several swords in a row, forcing the nearby enemy troops back, and then he grabbed the ten thousand swords on the ground and retreated.

When the enemy army wanted to attack again, it was resisted by Long Yuan, Long Zhun, Long Xiao and other Han soldiers. Liu Xiu pulled Wan Xuan and retreated until there were no enemy troops around, and then stopped.

He turned his head to take a look, and when he saw the blood behind Wan Xuan, his heart trembled, and he said urgently: "Jun You, it's enough for me here, you go and bandage the wound!" ”

Wan Xuan didn't care, panted and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, this little injury is nothing to Wechen, Wechen can still fight the enemy again!" ”

"Junyou!" Liu Xiu grabbed his arm tightly and said in a deep voice: "Go and bandage the wound immediately!" ”

Wan Xuan gasped a few more times, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, Wechen just saw Deng Zhong on the other side of the moat, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Wechen plans to take a team of soldiers and horses to fight out of the city!" Liu Xiu really didn't pay attention to the other side of the moat, and when he heard Wan Xuan's words, his heart suddenly moved, and he thought about it quickly, and said: "I will first blend in with the enemy army, find a way to get close to Deng Zhong, Wan Xuan can stay in the city, see the chaos on the other side, and then lead the troops."

Deus Ex! ”

"Your Majesty, this is too dangerous!" Wan Yu's face changed suddenly.

Liu Xiu said: "Don't worry, I'm sure!" The top priority is to repel the enemy forces in front of you first! ”

As he spoke, he called over two Han soldiers and asked them to help Wan Xuan bandage his wounds, while Liu Xiu carried his sword and continued to fight against the enemy troops who attacked the city wall. Deng Zhong's army was too numerous to finally kill some of the enemy troops who attacked the city, but then the number of enemy troops who attacked the city was even larger. Seeing that he could no longer support it, Liu Xiu could only give an order to pour out all the fire oil hoarded on the city

Go, again with fire attack.

The first fire attack has consumed a lot of fire oil, and now there is not much fire oil left in the city, and the scale of this fire attack of the Han army is far less than the first one.

But even so, it still caused a large number of casualties to Deng Zhong's army, and also made the siege troops appear to have insufficient stamina.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Xiu led the soldiers of the Han army at the head of the city to launch a comprehensive counterattack against Deng Zhong's army that attacked the head of the city.

Deng Zhongjun's morale fell by the second fire attack of the Han army, and the soldiers who joined the follow-up could not keep up, and Deng Zhongjun's army at the head of the city finally couldn't hold on, and a large number of soldiers ran down the ladder.

Liu Xiu held a sword and cut down several enemy soldiers in front of him, and then greeted Long Yuan and the others not far away: "Long Yuan!" ”

Hearing Liu Xiu's call, Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Xiao retreated and came to Liu Xiu's approach.

Liu Xiu didn't speak, grabbed the body of a soldier of Deng Zhongjun's army, and ran quickly towards the city gate tower. Long Yuan and the three were stunned for a moment, and then they each grabbed the corpse of an enemy soldier and followed closely behind.

After they entered the city gate tower, Liu Xiu didn't say a word, immediately took off his coat, and then took off the corpse's clothes and put them on himself. Long Yuan and the three of them also followed suit and changed into Deng Zhongjun's military uniform as quickly as possible.

After changing his clothes, Liu Xiu grabbed the blood on the corpse, and while smearing it on his face and arms, he said: "We follow the retreating enemy army, go to the other side of the moat, and find a way to kill Deng Zhong!" ”

Long Yuan and the three of them didn't say a word of nonsense, and nodded in unison.

Liu Xiu and the four of them changed into Deng Zhongjun's military uniform, painted their faces, necks, and arms with blood, and then ran out of the city gate.

As soon as they came out, the nearby Han troops were also stunned, and then a large number of Han troops swarmed in.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu and Long Yuan turned around and ran. Along the way, the Han soldiers who met stabbed spears and swords one after another, and Liu Xiu and others dodged if they could, blocked if they could, and didn't fight back at all. When the four of them ran into the crowd of Deng Zhongjun, they were more or less cut with a few bloody cuts on their bodies. At this time, the soldiers of Deng Zhongjun were all running down the ladder to the city in a hurry, and no one had the idea of suddenly mixing in with their own crowd

Here come four strangers.

Long Yuan exerted all his strength to forcibly squeeze the crowd in front of him and helped Liu Xiu squeeze out a passage.

The soldiers of Deng Zhongjun, who were squeezed and staggered to both sides, all shouted and cursed. Long Yuan managed to squeeze in front of the arrow stack and turned sideways. Liu Xiu took an arrow step and jumped onto the arrow stack.

Before he could step down the ladder, he heard several crossbow arrows whizzing towards him.

Liu Xiu also reacted quickly, lowered his body down, squatted on the arrow stack, and curled up in a ball. The two Deng Zhongjun soldiers next to him couldn't dodge, and the crossbow arrows were shot right in the chest. They both screamed and fell from the battlements at the head of the city, falling into the pile of corpses outside the city. Liu Xiu didn't dare to delay more, and climbed down quickly along the ladder. There were soldiers who frantically wanted to climb up the arrow stack, and were kicked out by Long Yuan.

He pulled Long Zhun and Long Xiao, pushed the two of them to the arrow stack first, and then he himself jumped down.

The three of them followed behind Liu Xiu, followed the ladder, and also went down the city wall. At the head of the city, the corpses of the soldiers on both sides were horizontal and vertical, and the blood flowed like a river, the scene was tragic enough, but under the city wall, it was like a hell on earth, and the corpses of Deng Zhongjun were stacked layer by layer, and they were so high, and many corpses had been

Scorched by fire, the air was filled with the smell of blood and burning, all disgusting.

Liu Xiu and Long Yuan endured their sense of nausea, and ran forward one foot deep and one shallow foot in the pile of corpses, and when they reached the moat, the four of them casually found a cloud ladder and walked towards the opposite bank.

Across the moat.

Seeing that his fourth attack was repulsed by the Han army, Deng finally took off his helmet, held the hilt of the sword under his rib in one hand, and held the sweat towel in the other, constantly wiping the sweat on his forehead.

A general came to Deng Zhong and said cautiously: "General, the casualties of our army in this battle are too great, let's withdraw our troops temporarily!" ”

Deng Zhong glared at him fiercely, and said angrily: "I have already paid such a large number of casualties, if I return in vain, won't the soldiers who died in vain all die?" Today, our army will break through Wancheng no matter what! ”

The generals who spoke lowered their heads, and the generals around them looked at each other and were silent. The 30,000 soldiers of their own side have suffered no more than 15,000 casualties so far, and the price paid for taking Wancheng is too great.

They didn't know that the real purpose of Deng Zhong's attack on Wancheng was not Wancheng itself, but Yin Lihua and Xu Xiling in the city.

If you can control Yin Lihua and Xu Xiling in your own hands, then you will have a great initiative in Luoyang, and you will have enough capital to contain the Luoyang court.

Therefore, in Deng Zhong's opinion, as long as he can take Wancheng, he can pay any price, even if the 30,000 soldiers are all fought out in the end, as long as he can break through Wancheng and successfully capture Yin Lihua and Xu Xiling, it will be worth it.

He glanced around at the generals present and said cheerfully: "Now, the enemy army has consumed a lot of fire oil, I don't think there is still fire oil available in the city, and in the next battle, the enemy army will no longer be able to resist the onslaught of our army!" ”

No one knows whether there are still reserves of fire oil in Wancheng City, but one thing can be seen by everyone present that the second fire attack of the defenders is indeed much smaller than the first one.

Let's say that Liu Xiu and others, mixed with the soldiers of Deng Zhongjun's army, fled to the other side of the moat and hid behind the shield array. Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and looked around, and soon, he was where Deng Zhong was.

Deng Zhong was there, the outer circle was full of armored guards, and the inner circle was full of generals in the army. Surrounded by the stars and the moon, it must be the main general Deng Zhong.

Liu Xiu looked at it and glanced at Long Yuan and the others, and they quietly approached the past without leaving a trace.

Deng was the chief general of the whole army for life, and he was surrounded by armor guards. As soon as Liu Xiu and the others approached, they were stopped by the nearby guards. The guards looked at them with gloomy faces, and saw that Liu Xiu and the others were all covered in blood, obviously retreating from the front line, their faces softened a little, and they raised their heads and said, "This is not where you can come, go and rest!" ”
