Chapter 872: The Turtle in the Urn

"Captain Fa Tai has already seen through the tricks of the Su thieves and has taken precautions against General Yide in advance, how could he still let the Wei army land on the water?"

Huo Jun, who came back to his senses, asked the messenger.

The envoy sighed bitterly: "General Huo doesn't know, General Yide did gather the soldiers and horses at the ferry, and indeed blocked the enemy's attack from stepping on the ice, but unfortunately, the loss of Shaanxi County was lost here." ”

"What do you mean? Do you want to be clear? Fa Zheng also came back to his senses and yelled loudly.

The envoy sighed, and had to tell how Su Zhe feinted on the water, how to secretly send Zhang Ren to take the remaining veins of the Qinling Mountains to sneak attack, and how to break Zhao Yun first, and then seize Shaanxi County, and finally attacked by land and water, and broke Zhang Fei's department, clearly explained.

Fa Zheng's heart was shocked, and his expression froze into ice again, and he stiffened in place.

Huo Jun also opened his mouth wide in shock, his face was full of incredulity, as if he had heard the Arabian Night Pool.

The two were in a shock, and they couldn't calm down for a long time.

And this news, the Han soldiers on the left and right also heard it, and they were shocked one by one, and their spiritual fighting spirit was immediately hit hard.

"It's ridiculous, I thought I saw through the tricks of the Su thief, but I didn't expect to be played with by him like a clown, it's really ridiculous......"

Fazheng, who had relieved himself, was inexplicably sad and angry, looked up to the sky and laughed at himself, and slammed his fist into the battlements until he bleed, ignoring it.

His heart is like a knife, and the pain in his flesh is nothing.

The news of the loss of Huxian soon spread throughout the army, and this unexpected upheaval was like a blockbuster*, giving the defenders in the city the most fatal blow.

All the Han troops knew that their more than 10,000 people had completely lost foreign aid and had really become an isolated and helpless army, trapped in the city of Shaanxi.

The Son of Heaven who was far away in Tongguan could not be counted on, and they could only rely on this lonely city to face the onslaught of more than 200,000 Wei troops alone.

For a time, the original high morale of the Han army collapsed in a blink of an eye, and even many people had the idea of abandoning Shaanxi County from the west gate and fleeing to Tongguan before the Wei siege camp was not closed.

It's a pity that Su Zhe didn't plan to give them this opportunity.

After opening the gap for five days, Su Zhe estimated that Liu Bei's messenger must have sent the news of the loss of Huxian County to the county seat of Shaanxi, so he decisively ordered the gap to be closed and cut off the connection between Shaanxi County and the outside world again.

The siege was re-established, the collapsed earthen wall was once again piled up, and the Han army at the head of the city watched every move of the Wei army, and the anxiety in their hearts increased day by day.

Two days later, 100,000 Wei troops left the camp and assembled outside the east gate of Shaanxi County, forming an offensive posture against the enemy city.

Su Zhe estimated that the spirit of the Han army was frustrated and his morale was low, and since his goal had been achieved, there was naturally no need to delay any longer.

He wants to take Shaanxi County as soon as possible and go straight to Tongguan!

At the head of the east gate of Shaanxi County, Fa Zheng and Huo Jun stood side by side, staring at the Wei army in front of them from a distance with cold eyes.

The battle flag that rolls like a wave, obscuring the sky and the sun.

The dense sword halberds like a forest, the cold blades reflected a terrifying cold light, which made people tremble.

The divine thunder cannon is lined up, and the power is terrifying.

Before the Wei army attacked the city, the Han soldiers along the front line of the city trembled and sweated.

"General Huo, it's up to you!" Fa Zheng's expectant gaze looked at Huo Jun.

Huo Jun drew his sword in his hand and said resolutely: "Don't worry, even if Hu County is lost, as long as I Huo Jun is here, then the thief will not want to set foot in our Shaanxi County." ”

Fa Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with satisfaction.

Outside the city, the Wei army finished arraying.

Su Zhe, who was sitting on the red rabbit, did not delay any longer, raised the whip in his hand, and shouted: "First use the divine thunder cannon to bombard the enemy city for me." ”

Tom tom!

The order was laid, and the drums of war were beating, shaking the heavens and the earth.

More than 200 divine thunder cannons were fired in response, and with a sharp air explosion, they roared towards the enemy city.

At the head of the city, Huo Jun pulled Fa Zheng down the battlements and shouted: "The whole army, avoid bullets!" ”

The Han soldiers along the front line of the city, without his reminder at all, took the first step and shrank under the battlements.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Hundreds of stone projectiles, falling from the sky like meteors, mercilessly smashed on the battlements.

The sky collapsed, the earth shook, and the flying stone chips shrouded the entire city in dust and mist in an instant.

Fa Zheng under the battlements clenched his teeth, his brows furrowed deeply, and he couldn't even open his eyes because of the stone chips.

At this moment, after experiencing the power of the Divine Thunder Cannon, Fa Zheng knew what it meant to be terrified.

"Ah~~"

The screams sounded, and not far from the side, a soldier was hit directly in the back of the head by the stone bullet that rebounded, and was instantly smashed to the point that it cracked, and the blood and yellow* splashed in all directions, and it actually splashed Fa Zheng's face.

A thick stench came to his nose, and for a moment, Fa Zheng was directly stunned, his body stiffened in place, and he looked at the soldier who died in an extremely tragic state in a daze.

In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the image of himself cracking, imagining how painful it must be.

"Even if I die, I must not die so ugly...... Fa Zheng secretly clenched his fists.

It's a pity that he can't do anything but lie under this battlement and let the Wei army ravage.

Half an hour later, the sound of artillery finally fell silent, and the Wei army finally stopped bombarding the city after firing more than 10,000 stone shells.

Although the sound of artillery stopped, the wailing and screaming of the front line of the city were endless, one after another.

Hundreds of soldiers wounded by stone bullets, either with broken arms or half of their legs, were curled up on the blood-stained walls, dying in pain.

Fa Zheng slowly straightened up, looking at this tragic scene, a chill hit his heart.

Huo Jun was not moved, waved the long sword in his hand, and shouted: "Quickly carry the wounded down to the city, and the rest of them will stand up for me and return to their respective positions, Wei Gou will attack soon!" ”

The Han soldiers who were huddled reluctantly got up from the ground, picked up their swords, guns, bows and crossbows, and looked tremblingly outside the city, ready to fight.

"The Overseer obeys orders!" Huo Jun shouted again.

The hundreds of axemen guarding the entrance of the inclined staircase, holding the big axes and knives in their hands, lined up in a dense line, and sealed the passages of the lower city.

Huo Jun had a long sword in his hand, and said sharply: "In today's battle, without my order, who dares to retreat, the battle team will kill me without forgiveness!" ”

The Han soldiers at the head of the city all looked awe-inspiring and fearful.

The escape route has been cut off, and they can only grit their teeth, cheer up, and prepare for a battle with the determination to die.

Fa Zheng looked at Huo Jun with a cold face, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his face burned with a little confidence, and secretly thought: "This Huo Jun, sure enough, there are some means, it seems that I really didn't look away, I hope he can block the Su thief!" ”

Outside the city, the Divine Thunder Artillery stopped bombardment.

The stone chips gradually fell, and Su Zhe had clearly seen the picture of Shaanxi County after it was bombarded.

Although it is dilapidated, the main wall will crack, not to mention show signs of collapse, and the wall will still stand.

"It seems that Liu Bei really had to strengthen Shaanxi County, and it is impossible to rely on the divine thunder cannon to break it......"

Su Zhe sighed in his heart, and then raised his horsewhip and shouted: "Pass the order, the whole army will attack the city, let me see, the enemy army still has a little fighting spirit left!" ”

Tom Tom Tom –

The drums of war sounded again, and the fighting spirit of 100,000 soldiers was suddenly ignited.

"Attack!" Huang Zhong brandished his sword and pointed at the enemy city.

In the direction of the Chinese army, the 30,000 main army corps was in a roar, and more than 100 military formations, large and small, like moving fortresses, were approaching the enemy city.

Wen Chou dispatched, Deng Ai dispatched, Zhang Xiu dispatched, and 100,000 Wei troops marched with neat steps, carrying the momentum of the collapse of the sky and the earth, and advanced towards the enemy army on the whole line.

A bloody siege battle began.
