The rain is still falling, pounding on this vast plain, and the flowers and trees on the ground are also hungry and thirsty to absorb the nutrients of this heavenly reward. Everything was so vibrant, a sign of calm before the war. A few butterflies were lingering among the flowers, but they were frightened by the sound of footsteps in the distance.

Not far away, the huge ironclad army was marching in the direction of Hedong. Although this unit marched unusually fast in iron armor, the discipline of the entire unit was so strict that it was almost impossible to find a single loophole. The leader is Zhang Bu, who dominates the Central Plains. In an instant, the sergeants in the last row of Zhang Bu's army beat the war drums, and the rhythmic drum beat made the thirsty hearts of the ironclad army extremely excited, resounding between heaven and earth, making others stand on end with their hairs standing on the ground, and their hearts were timid.

Above the sky, the original cloudless is now dense with black smoke, the wolf smoke in Hedong City is everywhere, for a time the sky is covered by the daylight, an eagle in the black smoke whistling over and looking down at Zhang's army, Zhang's army is clearly arranged, but the army of tens of thousands of people is extremely consistent. One hundred people for a team, five hundred people for a single group, one thousand people for a battalion, and ten thousand people for a group. Looking at this posture, Zhang's army also has at least 100,000 troops.

Now the army of 100,000 is overwhelming, and there are only 10,000 soldiers in Hedong City.

10,000 against 100,000, it's clearly a joke, I'm afraid I can't even survive a few dozen minutes, and the city is already defeated.

However, at this moment, Zhang's army was like a tiger before eating, approaching the east of the river little by little, and at that moment, he rushed up directly, biting frantically, not giving any chance to fight back. The pace of Zhang's army marching was like the bell of death, and before he took a step, the lives of the soldiers in Hedong were one step closer to death, and Zhang Bujun was ringing the death knell of the end for them, and they were all frightened.

In an instant, the sky changed rapidly, and it was already covered with black clouds, without a trace of light.

"My lord! Now Zhang's army is like a black cloud pressing the realm, the enemy is numerous, and our army has few major generals, so we must not resist like ants! A sergeant beside the general in the castle persuaded, and kept tugging on the general's shoulder, and the horror and fear on his face were clear.

"Presumptuous, the enemy is now, why do you say such words that disturb the morale of the army, believe it or not, General Ben will behead you first to sacrifice our army!" The general shook his hand, threw the little soldier a few meters away, collapsed to the ground, his whole body trembled, and he kept his head down and didn't dare to look at the guard.

"From now on, all the soldiers are actively preparing for battle, ready to fight to the death with that second brother of the department! If anyone dares to mention the word surrender, I will kill their sacrificial army to reassure the army! With that, he drew the long sword in his hand and swore an oath in blood.

"Yes!" All the soldiers replied in unison, including the soldier who fell to his knees, and although it was superficially so, it was the first time that everyone had faced such a large army, and no one's heart could be calmed, including the guard.

But he still stubbornly shouted: "If I win today, I will give you the emperor and repay you well, and if I lose today, I will die before the king!" ”

The army outside the city suddenly stopped, which puzzled the soldiers of Hedong, and the scale of the army was comparable to the scale of the big city in Hedong, which was really terrifying.

At this time, one of the opponent's troops rode out alone, and immediately shouted under the city gate: "I advise all of you in the city to immediately open the city and surrender and hand over the Son of Heaven and his party." Otherwise, when the city is broken, it will be the day when your heads will fall to the ground, please ......" Before this man finished speaking, he had been killed by an arrow through his throat, and fell stiffly on the horse's back, and lost his breath for a moment.

"Wait for you! Hum! Zhang Bu Lao'er doesn't need to bother to speak, he will never let you enter the city today, if it is really as you said, the Son of Heaven is here. Then today, I will do the right thing for heaven and cut off your head first to comfort the soul of the first emperor! With that, another sharp arrow rushed straight towards Zhang Bu.

It's a pity that the distance between the two is too far, and the arrow just fell under Zhang Bu's horse's hooves, but it also frightened Zhang Bu's crotch horse very lightly, and it screamed for a while.

The guard sneered: "Hahaha, Zhang Bu Lao'er, if you take half a step forward, this arrow will fall on your head and heart!" After that, the guard drew the string with his bow and arrows again.

"Hmph, the hairy boy will only take advantage of his tongue!" After that, as soon as Zhang Bu's gesture came out, the infantry and cavalry in the army all came out, and countless battle flags danced wildly on this battlefield.

"Guard!" As soon as the guard gave the order, all the soldiers in Hedong City immediately put on a defensive posture and gathered on the top of the city to defend against the intruders.

For a time, the battlefield plain was covered by Zhang Bujun's army, and everywhere he went, there was dust, and the shouts shook the sky.

After the conversion, a rain of arrows shot out in Hedong City, pouring on the body of Sergeant Zhang Bujun without interruption, and in an instant, wails arose, and there were not a few people who fell to the ground. But the Zhang army seemed to be not afraid of death, and they didn't care about the rain of arrows in the sky, and blindly rushed to the east of the river frantically, while the rest of the generals who fell didn't care about it, and let them fend for themselves.

And behind the non-stop charge of the sergeants was the thousands of chariots, city gate hammers, city wall ladders, etc., which were also rapidly gathering towards Hedong City.

In order to break the city as soon as possible, Zhang Bujun actually disregarded the lives and deaths of the soldiers, and used their bodies as shields to resist the rain of arrows, so as to consume and disperse the combat effectiveness of the east of the city, so that the follow-up siege equipment could devour the city in front of him faster.

Although the soldiers in the east of the city continued to shoot arrows, they could not resist the enemy's uninterrupted dense crowd tactics, which were really like a flood of beasts, and the sea of people covered everything in front of them.

Dozens of minutes into the battle, the numerous siege engines had already begun to touch the city walls.

The rain of arrows stopped, and in its place there was a constant drop of rocks and cans, and whenever the enemy army climbed halfway up the wall, there was always a constant drop of logs and canisters. The sergeants who were smashed screamed even more, and they were smashed to the ground one after another, shattered to pieces, and there were no longer a few whose bodies were crushed into deformities. At this moment, no matter how thick the iron armor is, it is useless, in the face of something with such great lethality, there is no room for counterattack at all, and it all ends up with broken bones.

"My lord, no, the city gate is about to break, what can I do?" The defenders under the walls were shouting in panic.

"What about the other three?" The general asked rhetorically, if the four gates were broken together, the destruction of the city would be a matter of an instant.

"There is no one to attack in the other three places, and the enemy army is gathering all its forces to attack this one gate!"

"What! Unexpectedly, Zhang Bu came out without common sense and gathered all his forces to attack a door! In addition to the shock, the city gate is already in danger, and there is no room for any more hesitation.

The guard hurriedly threw the canister of fire on the side towards the city gate, and just as the jar was about to collide with the gate that was already on the verge of breaking again, a rocket shot out at a rapid pace.

"Boom" a fire instantly detonated the city gate, instantly injured many enemy troops, and also made the gate burning, for a time the enemy did not dare to approach because of the fire, slowing down the speed of the enemy army.

At this time, the defender had already made up his mind.

He was red-eyed, slashed all the way to the head of the city and said to the living soldiers: "Soldiers, if you fight to the death today, the city will definitely be in the city, and the city will die!" ”

And at his feet was the countless corpses of the enemy, and at this moment he was like the god of war on the battlefield, frantically slaughtering the enemy army, making the enemy afraid and afraid to approach.

"It's too early to say that!" There was a strange soldier not far from the south of Hedong City, which shocked all the people, and even made the Hedong soldiers see the hope of life.

Zhang Bu looked fixedly, and the person who came was Wang Xunyi, and behind him was the reinforcements of the Southern Dynasty.

"Humph! I can't help myself, and these people also want to stop me, which is ridiculous. Zhang Bu smiled.

"That is, the most important thing is to be alive in troubled times!" Before Zhang Bu finished laughing, another army appeared in the east of the city, which was the Kang Chaoyun reinforcement led by Kang Yunhan.

"Zhang Bu, you dare to kill the Son of Heaven, it seems that you are tired of living!" In the north of the city, there are two troops, one on the flag, "shallow" and the other is "Xu".

At this moment, the four dynasties of Nan, Kang, Qian, and Xu gathered in Hedong to fight against the Zhang Dynasty. At this moment, the scene began to become severe, and the balance of war began to balance between the two forces.

In July of the 15th year of Shunhe, shortly after Nan Ke Lin pacified Qu Wei, he was preparing to recuperate temporarily. Unexpectedly, Zhang Bu launched a mutiny in Chang'an and killed the current son of the Dashun Dynasty, Shun Renhe. The new emperor Shun Renxie fled with the help of the minister, and was about to go to the Xu Dynasty to seek support, passing through the land east of the river in the southern dynasty, and the pursuit of the army of Zhang was coming. Seeing this, Nan Ke Lin sent troops to Hedong to rescue the Son of Heaven, and repaired Shuqian, Xu, and Kang to help. Just when the city of Hedong was about to be broken and the soldiers in the city were about to be martyred, the reinforcements of the soldiers and horses from all directions were coming, and the two teams of men and horses gathered in Hedong, and a shocking battle was inevitable......
