Chapter 373: Siege Wei to save Zhao and save the dangerous city

The scorching sun is scorching, the afternoon sun is the most poisonous, under the city of Shuxian, there is already a river of blood, whether it is the Han army or the rebels, they are fighting with their will, the war is fought at this moment, the attacker and the defender are actually the same, which party's will is the first to collapse, the other side will win.

"Boom! Boom! Knock ......"

"Woo! Woo! Woo......"

Under the city of Shuxian, the continuous sound of war drums and low horns resounded in the sky, and on the endless wilderness, the rebels shouted, and once again gathered towards the head of Shu County. The mixture of blood and sweat drenched their bodies, and the disgusting smell of rancid smell filled the air, but even this could not stop their determination to attack the city.

At the head of the city, Lu Kang's original Confucian crown had already been knocked off, and at this moment, he was wearing pale hair, looking at the city with awe-inspiring eyes, observing the situation. The Han generals beside him looked down coldly, looking at the rebels attacking the city under the city, as if looking at the dead, the battle reached this point, the Han army had already regarded death as home, in line with the idea of pulling a enough book and killing a pair to earn, and was no longer afraid of the rebels under the city.

And what about the large number of rebels? The Han swept away the Hu, and there were still fewer elite Hu people? Although the rebels are both Han and barbarian, but those barbarians are just the descendants of the defeated generals of the Han army in the final analysis, where can they compare to the elite of the Hu people who were destroyed by the Han Dynasty? This time, the Han army wanted them to know that their ancestors had failed, and they could not escape the fate of defeat either.

Because they are the Han army, the invincible Han Iron Army, which chases the Huns in Mobei, and the Zheng Zheng Han Army that shouts "Those who commit me are strong will be punished even if they are far away"! As long as the Han does not die one day, their invincible Han army will live forever!

"Ho!"

"Ho!"

"Ho!"

……

I only heard the rhythmic sound of trumpets suddenly sounding in the rebel army array under the city, Lu Kang followed the voice, his eyes suddenly condensed, his pupils constricted suddenly, and he lost his voice: "Siege tower!" Why did the thief have such a thing? ”

When the generals heard Lu Kang's shout, they all looked south, only to see that in an instant, the endless wilderness had been densely covered by endless rebel soldiers in tattered clothes like ants gathering. Behind the rebels, a number of familiar "wooden towers" were suddenly erected ghostly, and in the loud and neat sound of the trumpet, the wooden towers were erected higher and higher, and finally pierced into the sky.

Siege Towers!

It turned out to be a siege tower!

The Han soldiers present knew what this thing was, except for those who were temporarily recruited, and their faces were as shocked as Lu Kang, and they knew the power of this "wooden tower" siege, and they couldn't help but be full of pessimism about this time to defend the city.

Lu Kang's heart was beating wildly, staring over, and seeing that the towering "wooden towers" were in the box controlled by the rebel soldiers at the moment, slowly squirming forward, and then shouted: "Quickly prepare rolling wood, gold juice and oil, and you must not let the enemy's siege towers cling to the city head." At this moment, he didn't care about investigating in detail how the rebels could have siege towers, thinking that it was estimated that there were craftsmen who were familiar with making weapons among them, or there were generals from the Han army who surrendered to Cheng, and maybe the top priority now was to do everything possible to quickly eliminate these big guys who would break the city of the Han army.

"No!" The Han soldiers did not dare to slack off, and brought people from the city to bring all kinds of necessary materials to defend the city, they are familiar with the siege tower siege characteristics on weekdays, and naturally know how to deal with this siege weapon.

At this moment, although the siege tower under the city was moving slowly, it was under the protection of countless rebel soldiers, and it was unstoppably approaching the head of Shuxian County. The faces of the Han generals at the head of the city became more and more solemn, and every time the siege tower pushed further, it was as if it had hit them in the heart, which made them extremely heavy.

In the rear of the rebels, Huang Sui, who looked proud, raised his horse whip and pointed at the head of Shu County, and laughed: "Unless the heavens don't take Shu County this time, today is the death date of the old thief Lu Kang." Come, send an order, after breaking the city, release the troops for five days, the first to enter the city to seal the Daqu Shuai, enter the city to take half of the income. ”

"No!" The soldier who sent the message was immediately overjoyed, in fact, it was not only him, all the rebel soldiers who heard Huang Sui's order were overjoyed at the moment, because they all knew that their Qu Shuai had raised the reward again, and for them to be Da Qu Shuai, robbing money and goods, and robbing women were the things they were most excited about. What's more, Huang Sui has even changed his original deadline of only giving three days to release the troops, and now he has released the troops for five days, how can this not make them happy, thinking that in the five days after the city is broken, Shu County can give them what they want, these rebel soldiers seem to be injected with infinite vitality, and their blood is boiling, and they rush to the city with howling and screaming.

Under Shuxian County, in front of the rebels, Liang Zhuang, who was lucky not to be burned to death because he was in the rear a few days ago, is slowly advancing with the remaining soldiers under his command at this moment. Looking at the Han army on the city tower from afar, the revenge in his heart was even worse, he waved his hand and scolded: "Quick, quickly cross the moat, kill the head of the city to avenge Ma Qushuai!" ”

"Hah!"

Not long after the words were finished, they heard that the soldiers under Ma Hu beside Liang Ji were furious, and after the soldiers in front of them carefully cleared a path for the students of the siege tower, they then pushed the siege tower in their hands through the moat that was already full of corpses and sandbags at this moment.

Originally, because of the moat outside Shu County, the rebels never thought of making large-scale siege equipment, after all, it was difficult to pass, even if the moat was later filled with sandbags and corpses, it was also given up because of the rugged ground. However, since that day the city could have been breached, but Lu Kang suddenly retreated from the enemy with a fire attack, thus completely breaking the enterprising spirit of the army, and even several attacks no longer had the previous results, Huang Sui ordered the surrounding trees to be cut down, and ordered some captured craftsmen in their military camp to build siege towers to break the city.

Because there are few craftsmen, the efficiency of production has been very slow, it took a few days, until last night, just made five, and then it was requisitioned by Huang Sui, who couldn't wait any longer, and used all of them at one time for today's main attack at the South Gate, in order to concentrate on strength and break the city. Today, Huang Sui took advantage of the strength of the Han army to be consumed by the previous waves of rebel soldiers who were used as cannon fodder by him, and completely let his henchmen and horses break the city with siege towers.

As the sound of the rebel war drums turned abruptly, it became agitated, and then the low sound of the horn became louder and louder. The rebel soldiers at the front threw aside the corpses in the path of the siege towers behind, and then padded the road with wooden planks prepared in advance to smooth the road, while the rebel soldiers in the back immediately pushed the siege towers along the cleared road, followed by other rebel brigades moving with them.

Is it finally going to start again?

I don't know if I can withstand it this time?

On the head of the city filled with black smoke, Lu Kang took a deep breath of cold air, looked at the siege tower that was getting closer and closer under the city, and sighed in his heart, today seems to be the day when he Lu Kang will serve the country, Your Majesty, the minister Lu Kang is sorry for His Majesty's trust, and he failed to hold Shu County, so he can only apologize for his sins with death, and the city is broken, which is when the minister dies......

"The armies are ready to fight! The hometown fathers and elders are all in the city, and the city is broken and allowed to be humiliated by thieves. Lu Kang gave an order, and the remaining more than 2,000 Han troops defending the south gate suddenly stood at their posts in various places, preparing to fight to the death with the rebels under the city with a belief in protecting their families.

"The city is in the people, the city is ruined! The Han army is mighty! ”

"The city is in the people, the city is ruined! The Han army is mighty! ”

"The city is in the people, the city is ruined! The Han army is mighty! ”

……

It wasn't who shouted, and the other Han soldiers who heard it also echoed and shouted, and their voices were filled with a bleak anger. With the siege of the city in the past few days, there are only more than 2,000 people left in the Han army at the head of the city and the people are young, and most of these Han troops are still young and strong who have just come into contact with war, they have never liked war, but now they have to fight hard to protect their families, how can this not make them angry?

In the uprising, there are always poor people who rebel in order to survive, and in the same way, there are also rich and peaceful people who fight those who resist in order to protect everything they have......

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! There are few Han soldiers, suppress it, and the siege tower is on quickly! ”

The continuous howl resounded through the city in an instant, at this moment, the rebels' large number of crossbowmen undoubtedly had the advantage, they only needed to shoot the arrows into the city, no matter how accurate it was, with the relentless flying of arrows, the rebels on the city tower could only hide in the bunker and wait for the rebels to shoot their arrows.

However, this is also the effect that the rebels want, just when their own crossbowmen suppressed the head of Shu County, the rebels' siege tower was under the order of the rebel commander Qu Shuai, speeding up to the city.

"Ho!"

"Ho!"

"Ho!"

……

The agitated war drums and loud horns gradually subsided, but the blood-boiling trumpets sounded again, and Lu Kang, who was hiding in the corner of the city tower, watched the rebel soldiers shouting and pushing the siege tower under the city and could not do anything. At this moment, there are too few soldiers and horses in his hands, if he fights against the rebels' arrows to destroy the siege tower, he is undoubtedly filling with human lives, and even if the siege tower is destroyed, it is estimated that there will not be many people under him, so how can he resist?

The only way to do this is to wait, wait until the right time, and then break the siege tower!

"Ho!"

"Ho!"

"Ho!"

……

The five towering "wooden towers" slid unstoppably forward under the loud voice of the rebel soldiers, and finally reached the city of Shuxian, and the arrows in the sky also stopped because the rebels had reached the city, in order to avoid accidental injury.

Even now, Lu Kang's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Fire oil!" Crossbowmen! Destroy the siege tower! ”

In fact, there was no need for Lu Kang to shout too much, the experienced Han soldiers present had already grabbed cans of fire oil in their hands, carried bows and crossbows, and left their bunkers and rushed towards the city. Then he aimed at the several siege towers that were stopping in front of him at this time, and threw the cans of fire oil in his hand towards the wooden towers.

"Bang! Boom! ......The sound of countless clay pots breaking sounded, and then as the torches of the Han army at the head of the city were thrown, soon two wooden towers were on fire, and even with the wooden towers, there were suddenly countless fire people, howling and asking for help from the people around them, but soon the arrows shot by the Han army at the head of the city took away the lives that had been lost.

Just destroyed the two wooden towers in front of them, the Han army was ready to continue to concoct the same method, and when attacking the other wooden towers, the arrows in the sky suddenly flew again, this time, probably recognizing the intention of the Han army, the rebels' crossbowmen didn't care whether they would be injured by mistake, and shot directly at the city indiscriminately. Soon, many Han soldiers were hit by arrows, and even dozens of rebel soldiers who were close to Shuxian were shot by their own army's arrows and died.

The counterattack of the Han army at the head of the city was immediately suppressed by the rebels' arrows, and the others that were not destroyed at this time also immediately followed. However, in order to avoid accidental injury from the arrows above their heads, some of the rebels themselves had wooden and iron shields to block them, but most of them picked up the corpses of their dead comrades on the ground as shields and rushed towards the city.

"Oh......"

Accompanied by an unusually loud trumpet, the "wooden tower" slowly came to an abrupt halt, and at this time, it was already within the reasonable attack range of the siege tower from the head of Shuxian County. Countless bloodthirsty rebel soldiers have already swarmed to the foot of the city wall, surrounding the entire city gate, from the bottom to the top, countless arrows are surging in, Lu Kang ignored the advice of everyone, cautiously poked out of the city, glanced at a few times, only to see that the foot of the city was already a dense patch of black pressure, full of ants attached to the city.

The city is in danger, how can it be tired? Let's be loyal to Your Majesty today...... Lu Kang's mind turned, he clenched the long sword in his hand, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and the gray hair added countless poignancy to him for no reason at the moment.

The Han army led by Fu Quan is cautiously marching towards the camp of the Huangqi camp, and the scattered scouts and patrol soldiers encountered along the road, regardless of whether they come forward to interrogate or not, are all solved by his orders.

Now, it's no longer the time to hide, even if the news leaks, after all, Fuquan wants to sneak attack the rebel camp, isn't it just to attract the attention of the rebel army that Huang Sui is besieging the city, so that they can retreat quickly, so as to use this "encirclement of Wei to save Zhao" strategy, so that they can withdraw their troops from Shu County?

After the rebel squad of more than ten people was solved again, a large-scale camp appeared in front of everyone, and in the center of the camp, a large flag was hung, and the word "yellow" was engraved on the big flag.

At this time, there were countless old and weak women and children in this camp who were looking forward to the north and watching the battle outside the south gate of Shu County in the north. But when the Fuquan army approached, after getting this unmarked soldier and horse to kill their own patrol soldiers, they were all panicked and shouted, and no one understood how the Han army could come to the vicinity of the camp, and there were thousands of people......
