The night was deep, as if a black curtain had fallen from the sky, enveloping the earth impermeable, but the city of the eldest son was as bright as day.

Tens of thousands of torches were lit on both sides of the war, illuminating the city above and below the city.

Beneath the walls were bloody corpses and the remains of ladders, and several lit vans burned violently near the city gates.

In the midst of the firelight, a wave of brave Montenegrin army death squads were raising ladders and shields to storm the city walls.

The golden drums sounded in unison, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the desperately defending Bingzhou army returned the color with arrows flying in the sky, and the Montenegrin army that arrived at the city wall was devastated by fire oil and sandalwood.

Countless corpses of various shapes, stretching from the antlers in front of the Castle of the Eldest Son to the moat.

Constantly the wounded who were burned to the point of being carried down from the front and passed in front of Zhang Yan and others heartbreakingly, and all the heroes changed color in horror.

The sword light flashed at the mouth of the battlement, and it was the Black Mountain Army and the Bingzhou Army that rushed to the city wall in a desperate struggle, the stumps flew wildly, the heads were rolling, and the blood had already dyed the cyan city wall red.

The limbs of all kinds were swept down from the high walls by the wind like autumn leaves, and the soldiers on both sides were so brave and fierce that the corpses in front fell, and the warriors behind picked up.

Each round of confrontation leaves behind a mountain of corpses.

Yu Poison saw two bloody Black Mountain soldiers trying their best to hold down a struggling companion, and the blood bubbles burned by the fire oil burst between their fingers, revealing a little white bone.

"Kill me, please kill me!" His face suddenly appeared on his companion's shoulder, and it was not a human face to be exact.

I saw that his whole face was covered with rotten flesh, the flesh of his left eye had already fallen off, revealing white bones, and a hot and shriveled eyeball hung down on his face, and if it weren't for the muffled cry of his swollen lips, no one would have thought it was a human face.

After a while, the shouting stopped abruptly, and his companion pulled out a steel knife, lay down on the corpse and cried bitterly: "Brother, big brother......"

The other Black Mountain soldier looked at the corpse blankly, and then at the blood-stained hands blankly, suddenly let out a roar, brandished a steel knife and rushed towards Jinyang City.

He had just run a few steps when his running body fell to the ground with a bang, revealing dozens of tail feathers stuck in his chest, and his face had already been shattered by random arrows.

Yu Poison couldn't bear to turn his head, and his gaze happened to be fixed on Zhang Yan.

The fire of the siege danced on his forehead, and the bloody rain that happened around him was not on his list, he only cared about when he could defeat his eldest son and make him the overlord of the separatist side.

"Qu Shuai, retreat, the eldest son can't attack the ......" Yu Poison knelt in front of Zhang Yan's horse.

Zhang Yan was unmoved, her eyes just looked at the eldest son city.

As far as his eyes could see, another column of Black Mountain troops lifted the ladder up the city wall, and the soldiers held steel swords in their mouths, and climbed up desperately.

The tragic battle unfolded on the head of the city, Hao Zhao commanded back and forth on the city wall, and groups of brave and state troops rushed into battle in front of him, and none of them returned.

Hao Zhao knew that it was very important for the party to be an enemy and to me, and once the party was lost, the state would lose the bond between Guanzhong.

The eldest son, as the county governed by the Shangdang, extends in all directions, and once the eldest son is lost, the Montenegrin army can drive straight into and occupy the entire Shangdang County.

As long as Zhang Yan occupies Shangdang, he can directly attack Anyi, and then bypass the Hangu Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, cross the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains, and enter the Kou Pass.

"It seems that the Montenegrin army is really desperate......" Hao Zhao looked at the soldiers falling like rain at the head of the city, and said to himself.

A group of Montenegrin troops succeeded in occupying a section of the city wall, but it was not long before the troops who surrounded this foothold rushed forward like a tide, regardless of the casualties, and soon overwhelmed this heroic Montenegrin army.

"General... Where is General Hao? "A bloodied general climbed the tower, and before he could take a few steps, he was slid into the thick of the blood.

"What's so alarming?" Hao Zhao frowned and stepped forward to help him up.

The general was so anxious that he was about to cry: "General Qiyu, the east gate has been lost." ”

Hao Zhao's hands clenched a little: "What did you say?" ”

"General Qiyu, we have repelled the repeated attacks of the Montenegrin army, who knew that the family in the city rebelled, killed the captain of the city gate, and opened the east gate."

Hao Zhao hurriedly let go of the general, got up and looked at the east gate, the shouting and killing on there gradually weakened, and countless torches lit up half of the sky, and at the same time illuminated the banner on the head of the city.

The Lu character has already fallen, and the Zhang character is rising.

"Where is Xu Yong?" Hao Zhao shouted.

The general who had just come to report the news knelt on one knee: "The last general! ”

Hao Zhao drew his sword and decisively ordered: "Wen Hou has the grace of knowing me, my eldest son has been lost, I have no face to see Wen Hou, you immediately lead your troops out of the city to Jinyang to report the news, so as to prevent the Montenegrin army from entering Kou Taiyuan County." ”

The general immediately replied categorically: "It will be difficult for the end of the year to obey the fate." ”

"What did you say?" Hao Zhao's sword was pressed against his throat: "You say it again?" ”

The general slowly raised his head: "Wen Hou has the grace of knowing the general, how can the general not have the grace of knowing the last general, the last general is willing to stick to the west gate on behalf of the general, although there is no regret in death, if not, please ask the general to stab the last general to death." ”

He said this, tilted his head, and quietly waited for Hao Zhao's decision.

Hao Zhao's eyes were red, and looking at the generals who were determined to die, he immediately put his sword back into the scabbard and led a group of elite soldiers to rush down the city tower.

He is not afraid of death, and dying in battle is the fate of every soldier, but he can't die now, because Shangdang still has many places to defend, as long as they hold a few more important county seats, then they still have room for maneuver.

Since Lu Bu ordered him to guard the party too much, it was equivalent to handing over the gate of Taiyuan County to him, and this trust was enough to make him pay for his life.

Hao Zhao had just stepped down from the city tower, when he suddenly heard Xu Yong shouting: "General, the last general's family lives in Li Ting, and there is still a sixty-year-old mother at home, so I hope the general will take care of him." ”

Hao Zhao only paused slightly, then walked away quickly, gradually disappearing at the end of the street.

Zhang Yan also seemed to have noticed the changes in the city, he licked his dry lips and ordered loudly: "Attack the city with all your might!" ”

With his order, five majestic heavy catapults were pushed to the front, and the Montenegrin army lit the canisters of fire oil bundled together and placed them on the catapults.

"Put!" Five huge clouds of fire oil streaked across the sky like meteors, smashing into the city tower in the shape of a parabola.

Bang bang bang

The oil canister fell with a bang and exploded above the heads of the Bingzhou army, and immediately someone rolled on the ground with their bloody heads and screamed.

What's more, they couldn't bear the pain, and jumped down the city tower with a wail, and when the smoke slowly dissipated, the Montenegrin army had already jumped off the battlement like a tide, and the steel knife in his hand slashed indiscriminately.

There were fewer and fewer merger state troops, and more and more Montenegrin troops, and after the last standing merge state army was cut down, the Montenegrin army finally won the victory, and let out a series of cheers.

The wind was blowing, the smoke of gunpowder was gone, the broken military flag at the head of the city was cut down, and a brand new flag was rising.
