Chapter 433: Bloody Battle at the Head of the City

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

Now Liu Xiu's soldiers have the county army he brought from Zhongshan County, excluding casualties, less than 2,000 people; There is the Geng family headed by Geng Chun, excluding casualties, in the early 2,000s; In addition, the county soldiers who surrendered in Zhencheng plus the government service, less than 1,000 people; Zhencheng

There are more than 1,000 strong men who volunteered to join the army, and there are about 6,000 people in total.

Seeing that Wang Lang's army outside the city was constantly approaching, less than fifty steps away from the city wall of Zhencheng, Liu Xiu waved the sword in his hand forward and shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

With his order, the defenders at the head of the city raised their crossbow machines one after another, aimed at Wang Langjun outside the city, and moved their hanging knives.

Bang Bang Bang! The sound of the crossbow machine bouncing was continuous, and on the top of the city, the crossbow arrows smashed into Wang Langjun's phalanx like raindrops.

Jingle Bell! The bolts slammed into the shield, and the crunch sounded one after another. Poof, poof, poof! The muffled sound of arrows piercing through the armor was also continuous. The soldiers of Wang Lang's army who advanced forward, from time to time someone was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground.

The fact that the defenders can have so many crossbows and arrows can be said to be indispensable to Yan Feng.

Yan Feng not only hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in Zhencheng, but also hoarded a lot of materials, including thousands of armor and weapons, and now these things are all used by Liu Xiu to deal with Yan Feng himself.

Wang Langjun continued to advance under the rain of arrows, and when the people were less than ten steps away from the city wall, they all raised the ladder and began to charge forward.

The people ran to the bottom of the city wall and worked together to build ladders on the city wall, and then the soldiers used their strength to climb up frantically.

The defenders at the head of the city, either throwing arrows, or throwing rolling logs and stones, and the soldiers who were smashed down from the ladder were like dumplings, one after another.

Although the strong men who participated in assisting the defense of the city did not know how to fight, they were not idle, and kept transporting rolling logs and stones to the city.

In addition, some people lit firewood, put a large iron pot on it, and added water to the iron pot, and when the water was boiling, people lifted the large iron pot together, walked to the arrow stack, and poured a pot of boiling water outside the city.

The soldiers of Wang Lang's army, who were directly poured with boiling water, were so scalded that they screamed, and in an instant, Wang Lang's army under the city wall seemed to have blown up the camp.

However, the siege of 30,000 troops is huge after all, and it is not trivial.

The main reason is that the offensive of Wang Lang's army is continuous, and the defenders have repelled a group of enemy troops, and they have no time to rest, and the second group of enemy troops attacked again. It was not easy to push back this group of enemy troops, and there were still third and fourth groups waiting for them.

The fighting lasted from morning to noon. At this time, at the head of the city and under the city, the corpses have been stacked on top of each other, whether it is Liu Xiujun defending the city or Yan Fengjun who is attacking, the battle has been fought so far, and the casualties have been not small.

Fighting to this extent, the two sides are not only competing for combat power and fighting spirit, but also for willpower, to see who can grit their teeth and persevere.

As the chief general of the whole army, he had already stood only about a hundred steps away from Zhencheng, he held his sword in both hands, leaned on the ground, and looked at the battle situation in front of him with a frown.

Seeing that his offensive began to weaken again, Yan Feng took a deep breath and shouted sideways: "Where are Zhang Ying and Zhang Jin?" ”

"The last general!" As he spoke, the two generals lined up and saluted Yan Feng.

Yan Feng said with a sinking face: "You two each lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to replace Liu Xun and Tian Zhao!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Zhang Ying and Zhang Jin both agreed, turned around and walked away in great strides, and then each ordered three thousand soldiers and began to charge towards Zhencheng.

Liu Xunbu and Tian Zhaobu, who had fought to the point of exhaustion and heavy casualties, were replaced and replaced by Zhang Yingbu and Zhang Jinbu.

Zhang Ying and Zhang Jin's siege was much more ferocious than that of Liu Xun and Tian Zhao.

These two people are both leading the way and rushing forward with their lives. The main general is still like this, where are the soldiers below still greedy for life and afraid of death, people threw off their arms, followed Zhang Ying and Zhang Jin, and attacked the city with all their might.

Wang Lang's army's offensive suddenly became fierce, and the defenders gradually became unable to resist. Soon, one of Wang Lang's soldiers climbed up the ladder to the top of the city.

He had just jumped down from the stack when three crossbow arrows came at him and shot him to the ground. But then, the second Wang Lang soldier jumped over the arrow stack and jumped onto the city wall.

The defenders with crossbow machines retreated again and again as they reinstalled their bolts, and the defenders with spears rushed up and stabbed the enemy soldier to the ground.

Before they could draw their spears out of the enemy's body, a third soldier jumped up.

The man was armed with a long sword, and stabbed one of the defenders in the body.

While the latter screamed and fell to the ground, the soldier of Wang Lang's army was also stabbed to the ground by two spears. But fourth, fifth...... More and more Wang Lang's soldiers climbed up the ladder to the top of the city and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the defenders.

The two sides scuffled together and fought inextricably. The city defense on this side was torn open, causing the nearby defenders to be distracted, and gradually, more Wang Lang's soldiers attacked the city.

Zhang Ying also climbed up the ladder, he held a long sword, slashed several defenders in a row, then looked around, and shouted: "Find Liu Xiu for me, today I will take Liu Xiu's head!" ”

The reason why he and Zhang Jin fought so fiercely was very simple, the two of them wanted to avenge their brother. Zhang Ying is the eldest in the family, Zhang Jin is the third in the family, and Zhang Ji, who was hacked by Geng Chun, is the second in the family.

His own brother died tragically in Zhencheng, and his head was in a different place, Zhang Ying and Zhang Jin naturally viciously poisoned Liu Xiu.

Just when Zhang Ying and his soldiers were about to attack the city gate tower, Wang Ba rushed over with a sledgehammer.

When Wang Langjun approached, Wang Ba broke off and swept out with a sledgehammer.

The first soldier wanted to use his sword to block, but he heard a muffled sound in the ear chakra, and this soldier flew out with a sword, and hit a group of companions next to him.

A soldier struggled to get up, but Wang Ba then smashed down with a hammer, snapping, the hammer head was impartial, and the soldier's head, helmet and the head inside, were smashed into a bloody discus.

Seeing this, the surrounding Wang Langjun was all shocked, and people looked at Wang Ba, who seemed to be descended from the gods, and involuntarily retreated again and again.

Wang Ba snorted coldly, and continued to rush towards the other crowd with a hammer. Before the people arrived, the hammer came first, and the hammer swept into the crowd, and it was not one or two people who fell, but a large group of people.

These Wang Lang troops who attacked the city were shocked by Wang Ba alone. Just when people were retreating, Zhang Ying jumped out of the crowd.

He walked to the front of Wang Ba, and without saying a word, the sword in his hand went straight to Wang Ba's face.

The latter swung his hammer outward, trying to block the opponent's sword, but Zhang Ying used a false move, his body flickered, and the person had flashed from Wang Ba's side, and when he reached his back, a sword stabbed him in the back of the heart.

The three brothers of the Zhang family used to be from the rivers and lakes, and their moves were different from the opening and closing of military generals, but they took a light and dexterous road.

Wang Ba didn't expect this person's body to be so fast.

He tried his best to turn sideways, and when he heard the sound of sand, Zhang Ying's sword slashed away from his side, and the blade of the sword rubbed against the armor leaf, drawing a string of sparks. If there is no armor to protect him, Wang Ba's side will have to be picked open by the opponent's sword.

As soon as he saw him, he suffered a loss under the opponent's sword, Wang Ba was furious, he roared, and swept towards Zhang Ying with a hammer. The latter's figure jumped up, and the person was in the air, swinging a sword downward, and the blade of the sword went straight to Wang Ba's eyes.

This time, Wang Ba was more careful, and the hammer he picked out slammed upward, and when he was long, the hammer head was picked on the tip of the sword, making Zhang Ying's body in the air fold over, and after landing, he involuntarily rolled backwards for a long distance.

Wang Ba was unforgiving, caught up with Zhang Ying in three steps, and smashed down with a hammer. Zhang Ying hurriedly rolled to the side, bang, the hammer smashed on the ground, and smashed a huge city wall brick on the ground into stone powder.

Zhang Ying stiffened up with a carp, jumped up from the ground, and looked at Wang Ba with a look in his eyes as if he had been quenched with poison. He roared angrily and attacked Wang Ba with his sword, and when Wang Ba approached, he was distracted and stabbed.

Wang Ba raised the hammer to block, but what he never expected was that at the same time as Zhang Ying stabbed a sword, a crossbow arrow suddenly flew out of his cuff and hit his face.

Yes! Wang Ba exclaimed in his heart, and before he had time to think about it, he turned his head to the side, and the sand and crossbow arrows almost flew past his earlobes.

As soon as he dodged the crossbow machine, he heard a soft crack, and shot another crossbow arrow from Zhang Ying's cuff. This time, Wang Ba really couldn't dodge, and was hit by this crossbow arrow, and his body fell on his back.

Seeing Wang Ba's face nailed with crossbow arrows and falling to the ground, Zhang Ying couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He took a moment's breath, took his sword, walked to Wang Ba's side, and made a gesture to cut off Wang Ba's head as his own trophy.

His sword was still in the air, and it didn't fall, and suddenly, he felt his ankle tighten, and when he looked down, it turned out that Wang Ba had unbelievably grabbed his ankle.

He looked closely, and it turned out that the crossbow arrow nailed to Wang Ba's face was actually nailed in his mouth, or more precisely, it was bitten by Wang Ba with his teeth.

After seeing it clearly, Zhang Ying secretly screamed that it was not good, but at this time, he wanted to respond again, and it was too late. Wang Ba's big hand clasped Shen Ying's ankle and pulled it back, and the latter couldn't stand still and sat on the ground.

While he was sitting on the ground, Wang Ba also stood up, spit out the crossbow arrow in his mouth with his head sideways, and then grabbed Zhang Ying's ankle, picked it up, aimed at the arrow stack next to him, and smashed it hard.

Syllable! With a crisp sound, Zhang Ying's head slammed heavily on the arrow stack, and this one blow directly made Zhang Ying's head bloom, red and white, sprayed out of his head and splashed all over the ground.

Wang Ba roared and threw Zhang Ying's body into Wang Langjun's crowd. For a while, people's exclamations rang out. Along the ladder, Zhang Jin, who had just climbed to the top of the city, saw this scene.

In just an instant, Zhang Jin's eyes were bloodshot, his eyes became red, he roared, and rushed towards Wang Ba with his sword.

It's a pity that Zhang Jin's skills are far inferior to his eldest brother Zhang Ying, and Zhang Ying can't take advantage of Wang Ba, let alone Zhang Jin?

The two of them fought for five or six rounds, and Zhang Jin was careless, and the sword in his hand touched the sledgehammer. He felt a pain in the tiger's mouth, his palm was numb, and with a whoosh, the sword in his hand swirled in the air, flying out of the air.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Jin turned around to run, how could Wang Ba give him this opportunity, the sledgehammer was handed forward, stabbed heavily on the opponent's back, Zhang Jin's body flew forward, and several Wang Lang soldiers fell into a ball.

His chest was tight, his throat was sweet, and he spat out blood. There was no chance to get up again, and Wang Ba, who caught up, smashed another hammer on his back, and this hammer smashed Zhang Jin's backbone.

The two main generals of Wang Langjun, Zhang Ying and Zhang Jin, both successfully attacked the head of Zhencheng, but the two of them were unlucky to meet the brave Wang Ba. None of the two brothers ran away, one was killed by Wang Ba, the other was stoned to death by Wang Ba, and the brothers went to Jiuquan to reunite with Zhang Ji, who was one step ahead.
