"Kill ——!"

When the army led by Meng Zhong and Le Yi broke through the resistance of Zhao Junjun and attacked the west gate of Handan City, Meng Hu, Hua Hu, and Mu Wu led more than 400 Xinwei troops to attack on the inside of the west city gate.

At that time, the first to attack was the two hundred civilians led by Hua Hu dressed as the letter guards, after they entered the city, they immediately threw the log on their shoulders and the firewood on their backs to the front, and then quickly pulled out a sharp sword from between the logs and the firewood, and killed the king Zhao who was guarding the inner side of the city gate cave.

As for the purpose, it was naturally to control the opening and closing of the city gates.

Poor dozens of Wang Shi Zhao pawns on the inside of the city gate cave were killed by the soldiers led by Hua Hu before they could wake up to what had happened.

"Y-What are you doing?!"

Not far from the city, there was an angry questioning voice of a Wang Shi Zhao pawn, judging by the armor on the other party's body, it should be a pawn officer, that is, an officer of the rank of a hundred generals.

When the officer saw the "people of the city" who had returned to the city with them, he was stunned when he took out a weapon out of nowhere and killed Zhao Pawn, who was stationed inside the city gate.

But soon, there were many Wang Shi Zhao pawns next to him who reminded the officer: "Captain, that's a rebel!" It's the rebels pretending to be the city Chinese! ”

"Kill them!" The officer ordered urgently.

However, just as these people tried to kill the Huahu team, the Muwu team also made a brazen move, shouting "kill the rebels", and in turn surrounded the officer.

"Y-you're mistaken, over there! The more than 200 civilians with swords over there are the rebels pretending! The officer tried his best to wake up the Muwu team, but he never imagined that in addition to the more than 200 civilians who were pretending to be rebels, the soldiers of the Muwu team wearing Zhao armor were also rebels.

"Kill the rebels!"

"Kill the rebels!"

Shouting slogans loudly, the well-dressed Xinwei led by Meng Hu and Mu Wu in turn killed the soldiers who tried to resist them.

It is also a bit ironic to say that because the form at the moment is really chaotic, so that many Wang Shi soldiers can't figure out which ones are their own people and which are rebels, which makes hundreds of Wang Shi Shi soldiers mistakenly think that Meng Hu and Mu Wu are their own people, and assist them to kill their own friendly forces.

At the same time, Anpingjun Zhao Cheng, Fengyangjun Li Dui, and Yangwenjun Zhao Bao were watching the battle outside the city from the gate tower of the West City Gate.

Today's action of Wang Shi was approved by Zhao Cheng and Li Dui, and the purpose was to break through the blockade of the rebels and replenish firewood outside the city.

Because considering that once Wang Shi went out of the city to cut wood, the rebels would inevitably lead an army to block it, so Zhao Cheng and Li Dui mobilized a total of 30,000 troops today to complete the task of replenishing firewood - that is, 10,000 Zhao soldiers blocked Niu Qian's army, 10,000 Zhao soldiers resisted Pang Xuan and Meng Zhong, who might lead the army to aid Niu Qian, and the remaining 10,000 soldiers, plus thousands of people who spontaneously organized in the city, were responsible for cutting down trees, carrying wood, and so on.

As for Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao, he purely came to take a look.

After all, just like Zhao Bao said to Meng Zhong before, the Handan army under Zhao Bao, that is, the army that was previously stationed in Handan City, has grown from the original 12,500 people to only more than 3,000 people now, and it is no longer able to cause any deterrence to Zhao Cheng and Li Dui, plus physical reasons, Zhao Bao handed over the remaining more than 3,000 troops to his Zuo Sima Zhao Ben.

Therefore, it can be said that Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao now has no power in his hands, purely to come and see the process of Wang Shi going out of the city to replenish firewood today, after all, in the face of the major right and wrong, he still hopes that Zhao Cheng and Li Dui can thwart the rebels, because only in this way can Zhao Wang He keep the throne, and Zhao will not suffer the turmoil of the deposed monarch.

As for today's action of sending tens of thousands of troops out of the city to cut firewood, it was a decision made by Zhao Cheng and Li Dui after thinking about it many times, and even they specially told the generals such as Zhao Jun, Li Ji, and Zhao Ping to lead the soldiers, ordering them to immediately lead their troops to block them according to the original plan, and never let the rebels interfere with their purpose of replenishing firewood.

It stands to reason that this action should be thrilling, but I don't know what's going on, but at this moment, there is a sound of fighting at the city gate under their feet.

"What's going on?"

After glancing at each other, Zhao Cheng, Li Dui, and Zhao Bao walked quickly to the inner side of the city wall, looking down at the city condescendingly, and then they saw that at this moment, there were two or even several groups of Zhao troops in the city fighting each other.

"What's going on?!"

An Pingjun Zhao Cheng asked angrily towards the city.

Not long after, two soldiers hurriedly ran up the city wall and reported to Zhao Cheng, Li Dui, and Zhao Bao: "An Pingjun, Fengyang Jun, Yang Wenjun, it is suspected that there are rebels mixed into the city......"

"What?" An Pingjun and Zhao Cheng couldn't believe it when they heard this.

You must know that whether it is Niu Qian's cavalry, or Meng Zhong and Pang Xuan's army, they are all blocked by Wang Shi's army at this moment, and they can't get close to the West City Gate at all, but some people say that the rebels have mixed into the city?

How is this possible?

It's impossible!

"Is it ......?"

After listening to the words of the two soldiers, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao's face changed slightly.

Zhao Cheng and Li Dui turned their heads to look at Zhao Bao, but saw Zhao Bao said with a solemn face: "If there are really rebels in the city, then there is only one possibility, that is, these rebels are returning to the city with our soldiers who carry firewood......

Speaking of which, even Zhao Bao felt incredible.

Hundreds of rebels, under the noses of tens of thousands of kings and soldiers, carried logs and firewood into the city, and the person who came up with this trick was simply incredible!

"Follow our soldiers carrying firewood back to the city?" Fengyangjun Li Dui's complexion also changed, and he said a little ugly: "Yangwenjun, do you know what you are talking about? Don't you say that ......"

"It means that our actions have always been in the prediction of a certain guy, and he has long expected that we will make this decision!" Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao said with a complicated expression.

And at this moment, the guards on the city wall not far away suddenly exclaimed: "An Pingjun, Fengyang Jun, Yang Wenjun, the army led by Li Jisima has been broken through by the rebels......"

Hearing this, Zhao Cheng, Li Dui, and Zhao Bao returned to the outside of the city wall again, leaning out slightly to look at the distance under the city.

They really saw that Li Jijun, who was responsible for blocking the Mengzhong rebels, was retreating at this moment, and there was a cavalry of 2,000 people in the Mengzhong rebels, who were heading straight for the West City Gate, as if they had already expected the changes on the West City Gate.

"Meng Zhong!"

With a bang, Anpingjun Zhao Cheng's right hand slammed on the battlement, and in an instant, he rushed to the inner side of the city wall again, shouting towards the city: "Listen to the army under the city!" I am Zhao Cheng, the king of Anping, and I order you to close the city gate immediately! Repeat, close the gates immediately! …… Anyone who blocks the closing of the city gates is a rebel and will be killed! ”

An Pingjun Zhao Cheng's order made the two groups of Zhao troops on the inside of the west city gate at this moment suddenly distinct: Wang Shi Zhao would naturally obey Zhao Cheng's order to close the city gate, and how could Meng Hu, Hua Hu, Mu Wu and others of the rebel army watch the city gate that was so hard to seize be closed?

As a result, Meng Hu, Hua Hu, and Mu Wu, as well as more than 400 Xinwei soldiers under their command, were suddenly exposed.

Seeing this, Meng Hu didn't care about anything else, kicked over an oncoming enemy pawn, and shouted: "Zhuxin Guards listen to the order and guard this city gate!" In a few moments, I'll have reinforcements coming! Defend the gates! Don't take a step back! ”

Don't look at the Xinwei army has as many as 400 people, but compared to the black and oppressive Wang Shi Zhao in the city gate, the number of 400 people is nothing at all, not to mention that the Wang Shi Zhao on the city wall also attacked the Xinwei army with a bow and crossbow, which caused the Xinwei army to suffer heavy casualties for a while, and in just a moment, more than 100 soldiers were surrounded and killed by the sword of Wang Shi Zhao Shu, who was several times their number.

"Hold on!"

"Hold on!"

Hua Hu and Mu Wu, who were covered in blood, struggled to wield their swords to force back the rebel soldiers who rushed forward, while dragging the corpses of the enemy and our soldiers on the ground, and quickly piled up bunkers one by one with these corpses.

I have to say that that they are facing the city gate hole at the moment, whether it is the Wang Shi Zhao who wants to rush in outside the city, or the Wang Shi Zhao who is trying to expel them or even kill them all in the city, it is not so easy to surround them, if they are changed to flat terrain, I am afraid that these more than 400 Xinwei soldiers have already been wiped out in front of their Wang Shi Zhao in front of several times or even ten times the force.

However, even now, the Faith Guard has suffered heavy casualties.

At this moment, Meng Hu suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves.

He shouted in surprise: "Hold on a little longer, reinforcements have arrived!" Our cavalry has arrived! ”

The cavalry he was talking about was of course not the cavalry led by Niu Qian, after all, Niu Jian didn't know what was going on at the West City Gate at the moment, and Meng Hu was referring to the 2,000 cavalry led by Sima Zhang Ji, the line Sima that Niu Jian had sent to assist him in assisting his Meng Zhong army.

"Rush in!"

I vaguely heard Zhang Ji shouting, and immediately, more than 20 cavalry clashed with the blockade of the Wang Division outside the city and rushed into the city in one fell swoop.

Soon, more and more cavalry poured into the city.

"Zhang Sima! Zhang Ji Sima! ”

Meng Hu shouted loudly at the top of his voice.

After a short time, Zhang Ji rode his mount into the city gate, and after hearing Meng Hu's shout, he responded: "Meng Hu? ”

"There are countless royal divisions in the city that are blocking our army......"

"Leave it to me!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Ji led the cavalry to rush to his side along the city gate, only to see him point with the weapon in his hand at the oncoming Wang Shi Zhao Pawn, and shouted loudly: "Beidi Erlang, the target is in front, charge!" ”

At the sound of an order, a steady stream of cavalry poured into the city, killing the king in the city, Zhao Shu, and killing the latter in defeat and retreat.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Meng Hu shouted at Hua Hu and Mu Wu: "Mu Wu, guard the city gate, Hua Hu, follow me to the city wall!" ”

"Okay!" Hua Hu immediately responded.

Due to the arrival of 2,000 cavalry under Zhang Ji, it was no longer a problem for the rebels to hold the west city gate, so Meng Hu and Hua Hu led more than 200 Xinwei soldiers and soldiers along the stairs to kill the city wall.

"Rebels!"

"The rebels are here!"

“……”

Hearing the chaotic shouts in the city, Anpingjun Zhao Cheng, Fengyangjun Li Dui, and Yangwenjun Zhao Bao were speechless.

It is not difficult to see from the reaction and cooperation of the rebels, to be precise, from the various rebel units under Meng Zhong's command, that Meng Zhong has indeed calculated the royal family's actions today and came up with a strategy that will be calculated.

Thinking that he had thought that Meng Zhong would choose to do it at the South City Gate, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

He found that he was probably too old to figure out what the young man was thinking, so much so that he was teased by the young man three times and twice.

Compared with Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao, Anpingjun Zhao Cheng and Fengyang Jun Li Dui reacted more intensely, and they shouted to the king outside the city: "Block the rebel general Meng Zhong!" Stop the rebel Meng Zhong! ”

I have to say that Zhao Cheng and Li Dui are actually not confused, in their opinion, the hundreds of Xinwei troops and 2,000 cavalry in the city are actually not a big problem, the worst thing is that the nearly 5,000 rebels led by Meng Zhong are now going straight to the west gate to kill.

Once Meng Zhong was killed at the West City Gate, Wang Shi would not want to recapture the city gate in a short period of time, and during this time, the rebels under the command of Pang Xuan and Niu Jian would also have the opportunity to enter the city - this is the catastrophe!

And Meng Zhong obviously knew this, so he didn't entangle with Li Jijun who came to stop him from the beginning, not only asked Zhang Ji to lead 2,000 cavalry to the city to help Meng Hu, Hua Hu, Mu Wu and others, but he himself also adopted the method of forcibly breaking through, that is, regardless of the number of casualties, first seize the terrain around the West City Gate - as long as this land is in his hands, the rebels can attack Handan City today!

So, according to what Meng Zhong had previously discussed with Le Yi, he gave Le Yi 2,000 foot soldiers and asked him to delay Li Jijun, while he himself personally led 3,000 soldiers to kill directly to the West City Gate.

Although at this moment, the western city wall was full of royal masters Zhao pawns, and those Zhao pawns unreservedly shot at Meng Zhongjun with bows and crossbows, hoping to delay Meng Zhongjun's approach to the west city gate, but Meng Zhong did not waver.

I saw him standing on the chariot, holding his sword high and encouraging the soldiers loudly: "Everyone, the West City Gate has been captured by our strange army, quickly take the opportunity to enter the city, this battle is our victory!" ”

"Oh-"

More than 3,000 generations of county soldiers behind him shouted, and their morale was simply bursting, and they forcibly killed the West City Gate with the arrows that rushed in their faces.

At the same time, Pang Xuan and Ji Xin were frowning at the northwest corner of Handan City and looking at the area around the West City Gate.

"The situation...... Not quite right. ”

Ji Xin frowned and said to Pang Xuan: "Over there, I mean the West City Gate, is it Meng Zhong who is storming the City Gate?" ”

“……”

Pang Xuan frowned and didn't speak.

I have to say that in order to keep it secret and prevent leakage, Meng Zhong did not send someone to inform Pang Xuan of his intentions, because Meng Zhong knew that as long as he learned that Wang Shi had an attempt to go out of the city to replenish firewood, Pang Xuan would definitely lead an army to harass and stop him.

And this is also the purpose of Pang Xuan's army today.

But while fighting, Pang Xuan and Ji Xin found that Meng Zhongjun's side seemed to have a real fire, and they actually forcibly killed the West City Gate.

If it were someone else, Pang Xuan would definitely subconsciously feel that this was an extremely reckless behavior, but because it was Meng Zhong, Pang Xuan was more inclined to Meng Zhong's strategy to break the enemy.

Thinking of this, Pang Xuan also ordered: "Ji Xin, I will divide half of your troops, you intercept Zhao Ping's army for me, and I will personally lead the other half of the Tan Guards to attack the west gate of Handan...... Based on my understanding of Meng Zhong, he would definitely not blindly attack, since he was storming the West City Gate at the moment, it was very likely that he had played some trick to control that city gate! ”

"Took control of the gates?"

Ji Xin was stunned when he heard this, and only then did he react after being stunned for a moment: "Wow! ”

Under an order, the more than 4,000 Tan Guards were divided into two, and more than 2,000 Tan Guards led by Ju Xin intercepted Zhao Ping's army, delaying the footsteps of Zhao Pingjun's nearly 10,000 soldiers as much as possible, while Pang Xuan personally led the rest of the Tan Guards, as well as the 2,000 cavalry led by another Sima "Shi Xin" under Niu Qian, and went straight to the West City Gate.

I have to say that this is a very risky act, if Pang Xuan misjudges, not to mention that the two thousand people of Ji Xin will be defeated by Zhao Pingjun because of the huge difference in strength, and even the two thousand Tan guards led by Pang Xuan will also fall into the encirclement of Wang Shi Zhao Shu.

Suddenly, a corpse fell from the city wall more than a dozen feet ahead.

“……”

Pang Xuan looked up, and he found that on the west city wall, it seemed that two armies were fighting.

"Is it really ......?"

He was a little more convinced.

A moment later, when he led his army to break through the blockades and fight all the way to the west city gate, and saw with his own eyes that Meng Zhongjun was guarding the city gate of the west city gate, he finally dispelled the last trace of suspicion in his heart.

"Quick! Help Meng Zhongjun! ”

With Pang Xuan's order, more than 2,000 Tan guards under his command and Shi Xin's 2,000 cavalry quickly converged with the rebels under Meng Zhong's command.

"Brother Pang Xuan."

"Monsima."

After seeing each other, even if it was Pang Xuan, he didn't know what to say?

Praise Meng Zhong? Praise him for not knowing what trick he used to break through the West City Gate? Or do you blame Meng Zhong? Blame the other party for talking to him beforehand?

But in the end, Pang Xuan just asked, "How is the situation?" ”

"It's not clear yet." Meng Zhong shook his head and said, "The west city gate has been controlled by our army, but inside the city, as well as on the city wall, Wang Shi's army is still resisting......"

"Have you asked Niu Jian for help?"

"Someone has already been sent."

"Hmm...... So, I'm going to the city? ”

"Please!"

After a brief exchange, Pang Xuan immediately led more than 2,000 Tan guards into the city to assist Zhang Ji in repelling the Wang Shi who tried to counterattack.

A moment later, the troops led by Le Yi and Ju Xin also approached the west city gate, and joined forces with Meng Zhong, blocking the way into the city.

At this time, Li Ji and Zhao Ping, the generals of the Wang Division, had already realized that the situation was wrong, and gathered the Zhao army to attack the rebels frantically, but due to the strong resistance of the rebels, the battle situation was stalemate for a while.

And at this most critical moment, the herald sent by Meng Zhong finally delivered the message to Niu Qian's side.

"General Niu Qian, I am a soldier under the command of Meng Zhongmeng Sima, our army has now captured the West City Gate, but it is being fiercely counterattacked by the Wang Division, I implore the Niu Jian army to send cavalry to help."

"What?" Niu Jian frowned, his face in disbelief.

You must know that a moment ago, he was still entangled with more than 10,000 soldiers led by Zhao Jun, the general of the Wang Division.

may be annoyed that Zhao Jun dared to challenge the more than 6,000 cavalry under his command with only 10,000 soldiers, Niu Jian was bent on defeating Zhao Jun's army.

As for the commotion on Meng Zhongjun's side, Niu Jian didn't notice it, but he never expected that Meng Zhongjun was aiming at the West City Gate.

Of course, even if he knew about it in advance, most of them would have scoffed: there are nearly 30,000 royal divisions in the western suburbs, and there are still 20,000 royal divisions in Handan City, you Meng Zhong actually want to attack Handan City in one go?

But he never expected that Meng Zhong not only had the courage to do that, but was even attacked by him.

This made Niu Jian feel a little trance: Are the young people now so powerful?

"I—I know."

After hesitating for a while, Niu Jian ordered more than 6,000 cavalry under his command to abandon Zhao Jun's army and go straight to the west city gate.

I have to say that if Meng Zhong and Pang Xuan could only hold on to the temporary advantage before, then the reinforcement of the 6,000 cavalry under Niu Jian would have increased the victory of the rebels a lot.

I saw that the 6,000 cavalry of the Zhao State were like a rushing river, pouring into the city in a steady stream, and the royal division in the city could no longer resist, and there was no shortage of soldiers fleeing.

At the same time, Gongzizhang also received the news sent by Meng Zhong, and learned that the West City Gate had been captured by his rebels, and he was immediately ecstatic.

After discussing with Tian Buyu, he ordered Tian Huang, Zhai Dan, and Peng Zhen to attack the East City Gate, while he himself took his generals to the West City Gate to assist Meng Zhong, Pang Xuan, and Niu Qian.

After waiting for Gongzi Zhang and his generals to lead the army from the West City Gate, Wang Shi's situation was even more worrisome.

Tens of thousands of rebels and tens of thousands of royal divisions fought several melee battles in the city (outer city) of Handan, during which the rebels, who were becoming more and more advantageous, captured the granaries and military depots in the city one after another, and seized a large amount of grain, grass and armaments.

Towards dusk, the rebels also captured the South and East Gates.

In desperation, Wang Shi had no choice but to gather outside the inner city, preparing to use the last inner city to stop the rebels.

Yes, at this time, there is only one inner city left in front of the rebels, as long as the inner city is broken and the king of Zhao is captured, Gongzi Zhang can seize the throne of Zhao and become the king of Zhao.

Perhaps it was a long-cherished wish of more than ten years that was about to be realized, Gongzizhang was in a good mood, ordered a reward for the three armies, and also feasted the generals under his command in a mansion in the city.

"Ah Zhong! Well done! ”

At the palace banquet that night, Gongzizhang spared no effort to express his feelings to Meng Zhong, whether it was his excitement at the moment, or his guilt for using Meng Zhong to trap Fei Yi before, or his idea of wanting to reuse Meng Zhong.

It's no wonder that Gongzizhang is so excited, after all, this is Handan City, originally in Gongzizhang's opinion, as long as he broke through the outer city of Handan City before December this year, he would be very satisfied, but how many days is it today? The ninth day of October!

Before the onset of winter, he still had more than a month to attack the inner city of Handan City.

Is it hard?

To be honest, it's not difficult at all, the outer city has been breached, and Wang Shi's side is only left with a dying struggle.

In addition to praising Meng Zhong, Gongzizhang also praised Pang Xuan, Ju Xin, Le Yi and others, praising these young and promising young people as the talents of his future pillar country of Zhao.

In this regard, Niu Jian watched coldly.

Didn't Gongzizhang praise and commend Niu Qian? Of course not.

But the problem is that when Gongzizhang praised and commended Meng Zhong, Pang Xuan, Le Yi, Ju Xin, Zhao Hao, Meng Hu and others, it was from the heart, and when he praised and commended Niu Qian, it was more like a politeness - Niu Jian could still share this.

But then again, today he Niu Jian actually didn't do anything worthy of Gongzizhang's praise and commendation.

Even he had to admit that if the cavalry under his command was handed over to Meng Zhong and Pang Xuan, they might be able to exert greater power.

After the celebration banquet, Niu Jian returned to the West City Gate where he was stationed with several guards.

At night, he stood alone on the tower of the West City Gate, looking at the city, and his ears seemed to echo the words that Zhao Gu had said when he lobbied him a few days ago.

「…… You can command this cavalry because Lord Zhao trusts you. But what about your relationship with Childe Zhang? If Gongzi Zhang really takes the throne, will he reuse you or the courtiers he trusts in the future? Do you really think you can get a place next to Gongzi Zhang? Among the young talents such as Meng Zhong, Le Yi, Pang Xuan, and Ju Xin......

“……”

Carefully savoring Zhao Gu's words that day, Niu Jian was silent for a long time.
