Chapter 3 Tiger Ben's Bloody War Quells Rebellion

Section 7 The Battle of the Five Armies (2)

Zhao Kaishan was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately gathered his hundred personal guards, and at the same time called Wang Zhi to him, and said to him: "I am ready to personally lead the army to attack the city, do you have the courage to kill the city with me?" ”

Wang Zhi hesitated a little when he heard this, thought for a while and asked, "Pull me along to attack the city?" Aren't you afraid that I will turn over and become a rebel again? ”

"Haha!" Zhao Kaishan laughed when he heard this, and said, "Go to be a rebel again?" If you dare, give it a try! If you don't want to be hunted down by my Hanwei Army for the rest of your life, if you want to bury the luxury family with all your heart instead of fighting and having a good future, you can go to the rebels again! ”

After speaking, Zhao Kaishan waved his hand and rushed towards Hexi Pass with a hundred heavily armed guards. Wang Zhi frowned and thought for a moment, and without saying a word, he took the battle knife from the hand of a Hanwei army soldier next to him, and rushed forward behind Zhao Kaishan and the others.

"Brothers! Kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, give it to me! ”

Zhao Kaishan roared excitedly, and rushed to the front of everyone bravely, while Wang Zhi followed closely behind, and the two rushed to the bottom of the city wall almost at the same time, climbing the same ladder one after the other. The hundred guards also arrived and climbed up from the next few ladders.

After successively climbing the city wall that had already killed the sky, a hundred guards immediately rushed to Zhao Kaishan and Wang Zhi's side to form a small formation, and started a fierce battle with the rebel soldiers rushing up around.

After everyone gained a firm foothold in the city, Zhao Kaishan and Wang Zhi led the offensive on the left and right, only to see that the guards were also divided into two teams, with one general for every fifty people, and rushed towards the north and south ends of the city wall.

At this time, nearly 1,000 Hanwei soldiers had gathered at the head of the city, and more than 4,000 rebels had started a fierce melee, and there were thousands of Hanwei soldiers under the city wall who were gathering under the city and waiting to ascend the city. Although the soldiers of the Han Wei army were strong, after all, the number of soldiers was far less than that of the rebels, and they could not form an absolute advantage, so the battle for the capture of the city formed a stalemate for a while.

And after Zhao Kaishan, Wang Zhi and others joined, it was as if a straw had been put on the balance of the battle to crush the rebels, and the battle situation in the city was completely stirred up in an instant.

Zhao Kaishan roared loudly, wielding a mountain-opening axe to open the way in front, and the fifty guards behind him followed closely behind him like fifty killing gods. Seeing this, the soldiers of the Hanwei army on the left were even more demoralized, and they followed Zhao Kaishan and others to launch a fierce attack on the rebels, and instantly formed a strategic advantage in the southern section of the western city wall.

At the same time, Wang Zhi also led fifty guards to fight all the way, and the sword in his hand was already dripping with blood. After killing several rebel soldiers in a series, Wang Zhi suddenly flew up and kicked a rebel leader away, and fell heavily to the ground and saw that he was not alive, and the surrounding rebel soldiers were all shocked when they saw this. The fifty guards behind Wang Zhi were also very excited when they saw this, and they rushed up to fight with the rebel soldiers, coupled with the cooperation of hundreds of Hanwei soldiers around them, it didn't take long for the Hanwei soldiers to form a strategic advantage in the northern section of the west city wall.

Liu Yunwei saw this scene from a distance, so he laughed and said to Zhou Tianyi and Hu Kun beside him: "Haha, it seems that our Hanwei Army has gained another fierce general, this Wang Zhi's bravery is no less than Zhao Kaishan, it is really a rare fierce general!" ”

Zhou Tianyi also smiled and said a few words of congratulations, while Hu Kun said with a frown: "Zongzhen, there is a sentence in the humble position that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

Liu Yunwei was slightly stunned and said, "But it's okay to say it!" ”

Hu Kun pondered for a moment and said, "Commander, I am the governor of the Zhenfu Division, responsible for supervising discipline in the army and investigating all illegal things in Tongzhou Town. So, I feel obligated to say what I think about the use of Wang Zhi. ”

"Oh?" Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "Governor Hu wants to say that Wang Zhi is a traitor, and he can't be used as a thousand presidents just because he has made some military exploits after surrendering, right?" ”

"Exactly!" Hu Kun said without humility or arrogance: "General Town, rebellion is a big crime to kill the nine clans, how can it be exempted from the crime because of a temporary defection?" This is not tolerated by the law of the country! ”

At this time, Zhou Tianyi next to him coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Governor Hu, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the generals must make decisions on the spot, and we can also make some appropriate dispositions for some generals who can benefit the development of the war situation, and I think the imperial court will also agree with our approach." ”

Hu Kun also wanted to debate with Zhou Tianyi, but was stopped by Liu Yunwei waving his hand.

"Governor Hu, I know that you are dedicated to the public, and I am very grateful to you for being able to speak up. However, if Wang Zhi can make achievements in this battle, I will definitely let him be the commander of the Tiger Camp. Maybe what I'm doing will be out of line with the law, but I can't watch a man be buried. Even if the king deserves to die, I think it's better to let him die on the battlefield, that is the destination that a warrior deserves. ”

Hu Kun didn't say anything, just frowned and thought about something, and after a while, he nodded slowly and said, "Zongzhen's words are deafening, it's too pedantic." ”

"Nope! Governor Hu is not at fault in this matter, and the town also hopes that Governor Hu will continue to fulfill his duties in the future. ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Yunwei saw that Wang Zhi had led hundreds of soldiers to kill the passage to the city, so he shouted excitedly: "Haha, look! Then Wang Zhi will soon go into the city! ”

Zhou Tianyi and Hu Kun hurriedly looked over, and when they saw that the battle had reached a critical moment, they both sweated for the soldiers who were fighting on the city wall.

"Drums! Beat the drums of war for me and cheer for the soldiers! ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The passionate war drums resounded throughout the battlefield, and Zhao Kaishan, Wang Zhi, and all the soldiers of the Hanwei Army who were fighting on the city wall were all inspired, and the momentum of the army rose sharply. In order to be the first to rush into the city to make a military exploit, Wang Zhi used all his tricks and yelled and pounced on the rebel soldiers blocking the front.

"Kill!"

Wang Zhi took another ten steps and killed six people, and the rebel soldiers around him gradually couldn't stop him and retreated one after another. The surrounding Hanwei soldiers were greatly boosted, and they all roared and pounced, rushing down the city wall along the ramp.

At this moment, hundreds of rebel soldiers armed with bows and arrows suddenly rushed up from under the city wall, and they shot at the soldiers of the Hanwei army of Wang Zhi's department who were rushing and fighting, and the dense rain of arrows fell in an instant.

Wang Zhi was quick-eyed, and at the moment when the rebel archers released their arrows, he lifted a rebel soldier next to him in front of him and used it as a shield to block his body. However, the surrounding Hanwei soldiers did not have such skills, and in the blink of an eye, they were shot and killed by a dense rain of arrows, and nearly two hundred soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

And the rebel archers still didn't stop, and the rain of arrows continued to shoot, not caring at all whether they would accidentally injure the rebel soldiers on the left.

At this time, Wang Zhi was angry in his heart, but to no avail, he immediately shouted loudly: "Retreat!" Back off! Withdraw to the city walls! ”

The remaining soldiers of the Hanwei army quickly withdrew to the city wall, and Wang Zhi threw away the war knife in his hand, used the two rebel soldiers next to him as a meat shield, and carried them in the air one by one, constantly knocking the arrows shot by the rebel soldiers to the ground, and at the same time retreated to the city wall after walking quickly.

At the same time, in the southern section of the western city wall, hundreds of Hanwei soldiers led by Zhao Kaishan were also suddenly attacked by rebel archers. After paying a certain number of casualties, Zhao Kaishan chose to retreat angrily.

Liu Yunwei, who was paying close attention to the battle situation in the distance, was also shocked by the scene in front of him, thousands of soldiers of the Han Wei army were repulsed by the rebels, and Zhao Kaishan and Wang Zhi had already led the army to retreat to the city wall.

Zhou Tianyi frowned and said: "It must be some trick by the rebels, Zongzhen, I think today's siege battle will be here first." ”

Liu Yunwei also nodded and said, "Let all the birds go up and take the soldiers down, and at the same time let the artillery battalion get ready." Today's soldiers have suffered a big loss, and they can't just forget it! ”

After hearing the call for retreat from the Chinese army, Zhao Kaishan and Wang Zhi's hearts were suddenly relieved. Immediately command the soldiers of the Hanwei army to withdraw the same way.

After Zhao Kaishan slashed and killed four rebel soldiers, he saw that thousands of rebel soldiers had already swarmed in, and immediately shouted: "Wang Zhi! Get out of here! ”

"You are the commander of the first battalion, you go first! I'm broken! After speaking, Wang Zhi shouted at the surrounding Hanwei soldiers: "What are you doing in a daze? Pull the general away! ”

The surrounding soldiers of the Hanwei Army didn't care whether Zhao Kaishan was willing or not, and they surrounded him and pulled him off the city wall. At this time, only Wang Zhi and dozens of Hanwei soldiers were left on the city wall to support themselves beside an arrow battlement, and thousands of rebel soldiers had surged around.

Just when everyone thought they were going to die here, the roar of birds suddenly sounded outside the city!

"Ready! Put! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Ready! Put it again! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The dense lead suddenly swept across the city wall of Hexi Pass, and the rebels who were besieging Wang Zhi and other soldiers were suddenly shot down in a large area, and the rest of the rebel soldiers were immediately scattered, and fled one after another.

Just then, Edward's voice came: "Ready! Put! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The head of Hexiguan was once again enveloped by the artillery fire of the Hanwei army.
