On a late autumn night, it was very cold, and the bonfire in Hanzhong City was already bright.

Most of these bonfires were outside the city, mainly in case of a sudden night attack by the enemy. In the city, although there are also bonfires for lighting, they are all nearly a hundred paces away, and there are only a small pile.

After all, Hanzhong City has been besieged for some time, and the fuel in the city may not be very sufficient!

Near the east gate, in a smashed dwelling, there are some dark shadows lurking.

Looking at the guards near the east gate, the leaders in the dark shadows were a little stunned.

These people are just caravan guards, not professional soldiers. When he was walking with his caravan guard, he fought desperately, but he had never done anything to storm the city gate.

I don't know who instigated it, but I can actually tell them that these merchants organized and stormed the East City Gate.

Of course, they also knew that outside the city was Uncle Liu's army, and as long as they could open the city gate, they would be able to welcome Uncle Liu into the city. When the time comes, they will be the heroes of Uncle Liu, whether they throw themselves into Uncle Liu's army or get some rewards, there is no problem.

It's just that this deal is a life-and-death one!

After a long time, seeing that the guards near the east gate began to be a little drowsy, the Mi steward said in a low voice: "Everyone, whether it is to make meritorious contributions or get 100,000 commissions, it depends on your current efforts!" ”

"Kill!" With a shout of killing, hundreds of people poured out of the dilapidated houses in an instant.

They are all guards of various caravans, and the weapons are also varied.

In an instant, the guards near the east gate were killed by several people.

However, there were not a few guards near the east gate, and after reacting, they quickly fought with these others. The shouts of killing soon alarmed the defenders on the city wall, and the east gate of Hanzhong City instantly rang the alarm bell.

People were constantly killed, and people kept falling to the ground, and blood and fire instantly cast the east gate of Hanzhong City.

……

The sound of fighting near the east gate, as well as the sound of alarm bells, instantly woke up the entire Hanzhong City.

The people hid in their homes, shivering, and waiting for the judgment of fate. They only hope that their Taishou Zhang Lu can hold Hanzhong City. Even if Hanzhong City fell, they hoped that the enemy troops outside the city would not be too brutal.

In the Taishou Mansion, Zhang Lu was dressed in plain clothes and carried a long sword, and Yang Song, who came in a hurry, almost collided with a full arms.

"Has Liu Beijun attacked the city?" Seeing Yang Song, Zhang Lu also settled down and asked.

In Zhang Lu's opinion, in the middle of the night, the east gate suddenly fought, and the alarm bell rang for a long time, which must be Liu Bei's unbearable loneliness and preparing to attack the city tonight.

Caressing Zhang Lu to sit down, Yang Song smiled bitterly: "Back to the lord, it's not that the enemy army is attacking the city, but that someone in the city is storming the east gate." They seem to be ready to open the east gate and join Liu Beijun inside and out. ”

There was a sudden situation at the east gate, and a horse had already reported to the Taishou Mansion quickly. Yang Song has been on standby in the side hall of the Taishou Mansion for the past few days, so he naturally knew the situation near the east gate for the first time.

"Who are these people who are storming the east gate?"

"Are they those big families in the city, or are Liu Bei the meticulous dead soldiers who ambushed in Hanzhong City in advance, or are they those merchant travelers?"

Zhang Lu was shocked, so he asked angrily.

Yang Song replied: "I don't know which side it is, but in Yichen's opinion, nine times out of ten it is those merchants. ”

"However, no matter which side of the people, my lord, we have to enter the customs and send troops to quell the chaos!"

Yang Song's suggestion instantly diverted Zhang Lu's anger.

"From the large camp in the city, immediately transfer the army to the east gate to quell the rebellion. There is a change in the east gate tonight, and the enemy army outside the city will definitely not miss the opportunity, and it is very likely that they will attack the city, and add sergeants for this night, just by the way to guard the east gate. ”

Zhang Lu bowed his head, approved Yang Song's suggestion, and issued a military order in an instant.

……

Hanzhong City, in a residential house in the west of the city, Wei Yan and others waited quietly.

Suddenly, the sound of alarm bells came from the east of the city.

Wei Yan and Gan Ning got up, jumped on the roof after a few ups and downs, and looked at the east of the city.

I saw that the firelight in the east of the city had already reflected half of the night sky, and the sound of fighting was faintly transmitted, and the sound of the alarm bell continued.

"It's a big deal!" Wei Yan and Gan Ning glanced at each other and jumped off the roof.

"Assemble, open the West City Gate!"

Wei Yan pulled out the battle knife at his waist and shouted loudly. In an instant, hundreds of people came out from all corners, all holding swords in their hands and a small round shield in their left hand. Guan Ping and Zhou Cang are impressively listed.

The gate soon opened, and hundreds of black shadows rushed to the west gate in the dim light of the fire.

Using the caravan's guards to storm the east gate was just Wei Yan's voice attacking the west.

As for how to mobilize those business travelers, let them willingly sacrifice their guards, and attack the east gate with their lives, it was not a problem for Wei Yan. In this world, there are few people who send charcoal in the snow after all, and more of them are still in the ground.

Especially for businessmen.

If you fall into the well, you can make the merchant profit more than ten times, and any merchant will take a risk.

What's more, there are too many business trips left in Hanzhong City.

Moreover, Zhang Lu's move to take the opportunity to sell grain at a high price made many business travelers complain, which was the catalyst.

……

There are not many guards near the west gate of Hanzhong City.

On the walls of the city of Ximen, there were some defenders, but there were not many of them.

After all, outside the city, Liu Beijun's main direction was at the east gate, and there were only three or five thousand troops outside the west gate. In order to concentrate on the defense of the east gate, the troops deployed near the other three gates of Hanzhong City are not very large.

"Kill!"

Wei Yan took the lead, and the battle knife in his hand killed several people in an instant.

"Whoa, whoa!"

The sound of the crossbowmen wielding their might is endless.

Gan Ning looked up, but it was the crossbowmen on the city wall who were wielding

The black-clothed men used the small round shields in their hands to block waves of arrows, and they also had to fight fiercely with the guards near the west gate.

People kept falling to the ground, but most of them were shot by the crossbowmen on the city walls, some of them were guarded by enemy soldiers and some of them were dressed in black.

"General Wenchang, you continue to lead people to attack the city gate, and you will kill the city wall!"

Gan Ning roared, and led a team of people to quickly kill along the steps to the city wall.

Although, their main task was to open the city gates and insist that the army under the command of the Dao Lord enter the city. However, the western wall was still guarded by enemy troops. Although there were not many of these guards, they had crossbows on the walls.

For Wei Yan and Gan Ning, crossbowmen are also a big threat.

Therefore, when there is spare strength, it is also necessary to clear the crossbowmen on the city wall. Otherwise, even if they capture the city gate, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and whether they can hold the city gate and hold out until the army enters the city is a big problem.
