The Wudang Flying Army gradually approached Xingyang City. []

On the city. The Cao army has also poured into the city tower, and the archers are in position as quickly as possible, but the weapons prepared to defend the city in Xingyang City are not so complete, there are not many rolling wood and stones, and the equipment to defend the city is also somewhat insufficient.

"General, I'll help you down." The guard said.

"Wait, let's see who's coming." Le Qi said softly.

Finally, the Wudang Feijun came to the front, and Le Qi stood on the city tower, calmly looking at the Wudang Feijun below.

"These people are so weird, what are they wearing? It seems to be made of straw. "Le Qi has never seen rattan armor, so he can't recognize the rattan armor worn by Wudang Feijun.

"General, look!" The guard next to him pointed and saw that a big flag had been raised.

"General Han Zhendong, Zhang!" Le Qi didn't frown, recalled the information about the Shu Han officials in his mind, and then said: "If I remember correctly, General Zhendong should be Zhang Ren." ”

"Zhang Ren, that's the general of Shuzhong!"

"yes, I've heard about the last few years. Zhang Ren has been sitting in Chengdu, how did he come here? ”

Le Qi looked at Wudang Feijun, and then looked at Zhang Ren's handsome banner, but his heart was full of doubts and shock.

Xingyang is surrounded by the territory of the Wei army, how could the Han army suddenly appear in Xingyang! Could it be that Cao Zhen has already been defeated in the front?

Then Le Qi shook his head, there are so many people under Cao Zhen's command, it is impossible to lose the battle, even if Cao Zhen is defeated, Xingyang should see Cao Zhen's defeated army first, and then see the Shu army.

"Could it be that these Han troops have made a detour! Is it Wang Ling of Hedong or Xiahou Ba of Yingchuan, which side made a mistake that made Zhang Ren go to Xingyang. A hint of uneasiness hung in Le Qi's heart.

Judging from the formation of the Han army on the opposite side, the number of the other party is about 30,000 people, and this bit of manpower in Xingyang City, if the city defense weapons are complete, can still carry it for a while, but now Xingyang does not have many weapons to defend the city, not to mention the rolling wood and stone ballista and the like, it is an arrow, at most it can give each archer a pot.

There are too few arrows to consume, and this little arrow can only last a charge.

Le Qi took a deep breath, slowly calmed down, and then carefully observed the Wudang Feijun in front of him.

"Hey, I feel like there's something missing...... Le Qi felt that something was wrong with the Wudang Flying Army on the other side.

Half a day passed. Le Qi finally appeared, and there was not a single war horse in the Wudang Flying Army on the opposite side!

"How can there be no horses? Thirty thousand, not even a single war horse! After Le Qi realized this, he looked at the Wudang Feijun in front of him in great surprise. There are 30,000 people, and there is a general like Zhang Ren in command, but he doesn't even have a war horse. Even the peasant army of the Yellow Turban Rebellion before should be more generous than this. Coupled with those straw rattan armor, Le Qi even thought that he had encountered a bandit from somewhere.

But looking at the bright weapons, the sturdy soldiers, and the Han army flag floating there, he was telling Le Qi that what was in front of him was indeed the Han army, and it was definitely not a miscellaneous soldier.

Facing the pressure brought by the 30,000 Han troops in front of him, the hands of a Cao Jun next to him had already begun to tremble.

"Don't worry, everyone, look at these Han troops, they don't even have a horse, let alone any siege weapons. Our Xingyang city wall is several zhang high, and without siege weapons, they can't get on the city wall at all. General Cao Zhen's army was in Luoyang. Soon they will come to our aid, we will only need to hold out for a day or two. Le Qi said immediately.

"That's right, General Le Qi is right, don't be afraid, they won't be able to go up the city wall."

"Yes, the general is in Luoyang!"

"That's right, the general will be back soon......"

Cao Jun's morale has improved a lot in this instant.

……

Under the city, Zhang Ren looked at the city wall of Xingyang.

"Shamoko, is the rope long enough?" Zhang Ren asked.

"General rest assured, the ropes have already been prepared, and they will definitely be able to hang on the Xingyang city wall." Shamoko said immediately.

"Good!" Zhang Ren nodded, then pointed to Xingyang City in front of him, and then said: "Soldiers, you are all warriors of the Wudang Flying Army, shuttling through the mountains and forests, walking on flat ground, and the cliffs as high as dozens of zhang on weekdays, you can all climb up. ”

"Yes!" The Wudang Flying Army shouted in unison.

"Okay, sons, make a contribution, at this time, rush!" Zhang Ren waved his weapon, and the Wudang Flying Army was now like a tide, rushing to Xingyang City.

……

"This ......" Le Qi was slightly stunned: "What's going on, what is the Han Army doing." Just rushed up, there was not even a ladder, did you want to climb up with your flesh? ”

"General, what are they doing here?"

"Don't worry, let's take a look first, I don't believe they don't have a ladder to climb this Xingyang City." A hint of fierceness flashed in Leqi's eyes.

The Han army rushed to the foot of Xingyang City, only to see several tall Han soldiers in front of their heads, suddenly pulling out a long rope from behind them, and on the head of the rope, there was also a barb.

"Whew......" Several ropes were hooked onto the battlements. Then, several of the strongest Wudang Feijun quickly climbed the rope and climbed towards Xingyang City.

It is undoubtedly a very unwise thing to climb a city with ropes alone. Climbing the tall city walls with ropes alone requires a lot of strength, and the climbing is not as good as a ladder; Secondly, ropes are not strong and can be cut with a single sword, so in the siege wars of the past dynasties, no one will use only ropes to attack cities.

"Wishful thinking, quick, cut the rope!" Leqi shouted.

Cao Jun next to him immediately rushed forward and slashed at the rope hooked on the battlements with his knife.

"Boom ......" a few loud bangs.

"General. Chop constantly. ”

"General, there are constant cuts here"

"What? Chop constantly. How is this possible, I come in person! Le Qi said that he was about to rush forward, and then the wound pulled, and Le Qi grinned and had to stop.

Under the city, Zhang Ren had a smug smile on his face. These ropes look no different from ordinary hemp rope on the outside, but they are all made of extremely thin rattan strips, and unless they are divine blades, they are constantly chopping. Of course, rattan ropes also have the same disadvantages as rattan armor. That's the fear of fire.

The Wudang Flying Army was busy attacking the city, and in the face of the rope, Le Qi's first thought was naturally to cut with a knife instead of burning it, so after a few knives, not even a single rope was cut.

Wudang Feijun quickly climbed upward, these Wudang Feijun soldiers who climbed the city, climbed the cliffs on weekdays, and now climbed the city, the degree is very fast, the soldiers of the Wudang Feijun are like vigorous apes, climbing quickly, in a blink of an eye, they have climbed half the distance.

Although Le Qi didn't know why these ropes couldn't be cut, but this climbing degree of the flying army made Le Qi startled, these people climbed too fast

"Quick, shoot arrows!" Le Qi shouted.

"Whoosh...... The archer bent his bow and arrows, and several cold lights flashed, and the sharp arrows slammed straight into the Wudang Flying Army who were climbing the city wall.

Several arrows were nailed straight to the body of the Pancheng Wudang Feijun, but the Wudang Feijun did not make any dodge, but continued to rush upward.

"Puff, puff......" The arrow landed on the rattan armor and was immediately bounced away.

"Ah, what's going on?" Leqi's eyes widened, the ropes kept chopping, and the arrows couldn't stop the Wudang Flying Army from continuing to climb upward.

Finally, the first soldier of the Wudang Flying Army jumped up to the castle tower.

"Kill!" The three Cao soldiers immediately rushed over, swung their spears, and stabbed at the soldier of the Wudang Flying Army.

"Drink!" The Han soldier ignored the attacking spear, but swept a space with a wave of his knife, and another Han soldier rushed to the tower

The spear of "...... pounce" pierced the rattan armor, but it never continued to penetrate deeply.

"You can't get in." Le Qi recalled that just now, arrows could not hurt those Han soldiers, and suddenly understood that there was definitely something wrong with the armor on these Han soldiers.

"There's something wrong with this straw armor." Le Qi finally understood. Why is this group of Han soldiers dressed up so weirdly? It seems that these Han soldiers are very strong soldiers, and it stands to reason that they will never wear some garbage equipment, but now it seems that these straw armor is definitely not garbage, but a kind of special armor.

The Han army rushed to the city wall one after another, and as the number of people increased, Le Qi finally understood that the general trend had gone......

……

At the same time that Zhang Ren attacked Xingyang City, around Xingyang City, those large and small Ao Cangs were also attacked.

After all, there are 30,000 people in the Wudang Flying Army, and it is a waste of human resources to attack Xingyang all of them, so Zhang Ren has long divided his troops to attack the surrounding Ao Cang. The soldiers deployed by the Cao army in each of the surrounding Ao Cangs were mostly in the single digits, and the rattan trellis of the Wudang Fei Army was not afraid of bows, arrows, knives and guns, so it was easy to recapture an Ao Cang with dozens of people.

At the same time, at Tongguan, the Han army also went out of Tongguan and headed towards Luoyang.

……

Outside the city of Luoyang.

Cao Zhen didn't know that Zhang Ren led the Wudang Flying Army around the back, and had already captured Xingyang.

At this time, Cao Zhen's attention was focused on the direction of Tongguan, and after waiting for so long, Cao Zhen finally waited for the Han army to leave Tongguan, and Cao Zhen's plan to surround the point and send reinforcements could also be implemented.

It is indeed a good strategy to encircle the point and send reinforcements, but because from Chang'an to Luoyang, Zhuge Liang only has Hongnong as the road to go, so the main force of the Han army can only take Hongnong. Therefore, what Cao Zhen is facing will also be the main force of the Han army led by Zhuge Liang.

Cao Zhen camp.

"General, it has been investigated clearly, the vanguard of the Han army is Jiang Wei, leading about 20,000 people, and there are at least 70,000 or 80,000 troops behind him, and he has also continued to leave Tongguan in 66."

"Jiang Wei? The Jiang Wei who surrendered? Hmph......" Cao Zhen snorted coldly, and then asked: "Who led the Chinese army, Zhuge Liang or Pang Tong?" ”

"General Hui, it's not, it's Guan Ping who is in charge of the Chinese army."

"Guan Ping, Guan Yu's righteous son?"
