The morning sun is rising, and the golden sun shines all over the land. Under the bright blue sky, a black line appeared on the horizon, slowly squirming, and gradually approached Handan City.

"The Shu army is here!"

On the castle tower, a shrill cry like a duck's voice suddenly sounded.

"Wow!!"

The voice fell, and all the soldiers tensed up.

One by one, the soldiers craned their necks and stared at the black lines in the distance, a look of horror in their eyes. The soldiers' right hands were pressed against the hilts of their swords, and even some of the soldiers' hands trembled slightly. Seeing the Shu soldiers getting closer and closer outside the city, the heartbeat of the soldiers defending the city beat even faster.

"The Shu army has not yet attacked the city, what are you afraid of?"

At this time, a loud shout came from the city tower.

The person who spoke was Xu Huang, the chief general guarding Handan, who carried a big axe, wore a helmet and armor, shuttled among the soldiers, and said loudly: "The Shu army is a human being, and you are also a human being; The Shu army was born to your father's mother, and you were also born to your father's mother; The Shu army drinks wine and eats meat, and you can also drink wine and eat meat; The Shu army has weapons, and you also have weapons. If they dare to kill them, why can't you kill them back? ”

These words made the soldiers fall into deep thought.

At the very least, the atmosphere of fear is eased.

Xu Huang waved the giant axe and continued: "The Shu army is coming to attack the city, and we will defeat them." As long as you hold the steel knife in your hand, treat the besieging enemy army as a chicken and duck to be slaughtered, and cut it down with one sword, everything will be solved. ”

The soldiers listened to Xu Huang's words, and their morale gradually condensed.

Zhu Wu followed Xu Huang's side, watching Xu Huang's morale boost and frustration, watching Xu Huang shuttling among the soldiers, cheering up the soldiers one by one, and his eyes were a little moist. Will you survive this war? Zhu Wu knew that Xu Huang already had the idea of not retreating, that is, to live and die with Handan.

"Boom! Boom!! ”

Outside the city tower, the fierce and majestic war drums suddenly sounded.

This was followed by the long, high-pitched sound of horns.

The sound of war drums and trumpets sounded at the same time, making the defenders on the tower nervous again. Many soldiers clenched their swords and drew three inches, ready for battle. Wang Can rode in front, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun and others followed, and the army then killed and approached the city wall of Handan City.

Xu Huang shouted: "Wang Can, don't bother to persuade you to surrender, come on, Ben will see what you are capable of." ”

Wang Can Chao Dian Wei said: "Shanjun, Xu Huang really thinks he is a character. ”

Dian Wei shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, a small city, just take it directly." ”

Wang Can nodded and said, "Where is Zhao Yun?" ”

"The last general!"

Zhao Yun ran out on horseback, hugged his fists in front of Wang Can and said.

Wang Can instructed: "Handan City is small, but Xu Huang is also prepared, and it will take a lot of effort. This time, you commanded the soldiers to break through Handan City, so that Xu Huang knew that even if he was fully prepared, he would not be able to stop the pace of the Shu army. ”

"No!"

Zhao Yun responded with his fists in his fists and quickly rode his horse away.

Zhao Yun rode into the army, and with a wave of his hand, sixty catapults were soon pushed out. Catapults were placed twenty feet away from the city wall. As the soldiers began to move, the catapult creaked and creaked, and hundreds of pounds of boulders were also carried by the soldiers and placed on the catapult that threw the boulders.

The soldiers in charge of the projectile immediately calibrated so that each catapult was thrown into one spot, so that the walls were smashed into the city on a small scale.

"Put!!"

At the sound of an order, more than 60 catapults threw out large stones. All the boulders whizzed through the air, and black shadows fell one after another, rumbling down on the city walls.

When Xu Huang saw the boulder coming, he immediately shouted: "Dodge, dodge!" ”

Rao was like this, and several soldiers were also hit by boulders and became a puddle of flesh. Sixty catapults did not throw hundreds of pounds of boulders indiscriminately, they were all thrown towards one position, so there were not many soldiers defending the city. But because the stones bombarded one place, the towers began to tremble, and the soldiers defending the city trembled with fear.

Click! Click!

The stones were shattered, and the walls were smashed with craters and cracks.

Xu Huang's eyes rolled, and he immediately shouted: "Prepare the archers, shoot rockets, and burn the catapults of the Shu army." In an instant, the soldiers defending the city tied their bows and arrows to tarpaulin, and then quickly lit them and fired them at the catapults outside the city. As long as the catapult ignited a fire, the Shu soldiers could not place stones to bombard the city wall.

Zhao Yun saw a rocket shot from the city tower, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer.

He first instructed the soldiers next to the catapult to fend off the rockets, and then shouted: "Prepare the archers!" ”

I saw rows of archers emerge behind the catapult, these archers are in two rows as a group, the soldiers in the first row are squatting on the ground, the bows and arrows on the bowstrings are pointing obliquely in the direction of the city wall, the soldiers in the second row are holding bows and arrows, aiming directly at the city wall, and the soldiers in the back are ready to shoot at any time.

"Shoot the arrow!!"

Zhao Yun roared, and a dense stream of bows and arrows shot out from outside the city.

The archers of the Shu army were densely packed, and tens of thousands of bows and arrows were shot. When such a bow and arrow were fired, it covered the sky and the sun in the air, and the golden sun had already covered it.

The rockets fired from the city tower were suppressed by the bows and arrows of the Shu soldiers, and the soldiers raised their shields to resist.

Xu Huang's brows furrowed, and his expression was solemn.

Up to now, Wang Can has not sent a single soldier to attack the city, and has completely relied on the weapons of the Shu army to attack Handan City. Under the double pressure of catapults and bows and arrows, the soldiers defending the city could do very little. Because of the dense number of bows and arrows, the soldiers defending the city had to use shields to resist, which made it difficult to affect the catapults, and the walls were still being bombarded by catapults.

The Shu army did not attack the city, and the sassal wood, boulders, and even the oil and water that had been boiled on the city tower also lost their value and were reduced to decorations placed on the city tower.

"General, it's not good, the wall in the left corner of the tower is about to collapse."

Zhu Wu hurriedly ran to Xu Huang's side, looking anxious.

"Boom!!"

There was a loud noise from the left corner of the city tower, Xu Huang turned his head to look, and found that the left corner of the city tower had partially collapsed, and a large hole appeared. The walls of Handan were already strong, but they could not withstand the continuous bombardment. After a series of impacts, the left corner of the tower was already crumbling.

Xu Huang immediately made a decision and ordered: "Organize soldiers to go down to the city tower, and then guard the collapsed place to prevent the Shu army from entering the city, and be sure to hold it." ”

Zhu Wu hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, the general will go." ”

Zhu Wu got the order, and quickly gathered a battalion of soldiers to go down to the city tower, and then held on the inside of the collapsed city wall. Xu Huang looked at the back of Zhu Wu leaving, and then at the motionless Shu army outside the city, and his mood was extremely heavy. More than 100,000 Shu troops were killed, and he knew that he couldn't resist it, but he had already promised the country, so he could only defend Handan.

"Boom!!"

In the left corner of the city wall, there were loud noises one after another.

In less than an hour, a huge gap had been revealed in the wall. Such an opening is enough for the Shu army to attack. Zhao Yun looked at the collapsed city wall, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Next, it was the onslaught of the Shu army.
