Chapter Ninety-Three: General Zhang

The sunset is slanting westward, and the state of Jinyang City, at this time the smoke of gunpowder is filled, on the ground outside the city wall, there are many corpses lying there, there are Han officials and soldiers, there are also Huns. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Most of the soldiers on the city wall leaned on the wall, taking advantage of this gap, to quickly rest and recover their strength; There are also some people who are busy helping their companions to the city to bandage and treat their wounds.

At this moment, a young general walked past the city wall, inspecting all parts of the city wall, although his brows were tightly knit and he was a little tired, but he couldn't hide the glint in his eyes, indicating that this was not an ordinary person.

"General Zhang!"

"I've seen General Zhang!"

The soldiers resting against the wall straightened up and greeted the general who came by.

These soldiers were not the general's subordinates, but when the general came, it coincided with the invasion of the Xiongnu, and General Zhang joined the defense of Jinyang without hesitation.

During this period, after Zhang Yi, the assassin of Bingzhou, sacrificed his life for the country, this general Zhang took on the responsibility and led the soldiers of Jinyang to resist the attack of the Xiongnu.

However, there were no more than 10,000 soldiers in Jinyang City, but there were 100,000 Huns, and the war was quite difficult, and a large number of soldiers died every day, and the city seemed to be broken sooner or later.

"General, can we hold Jinyang?" A soldier next to him asked in a low voice.

General Zhang turned his head and saw that the soldier was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, carrying a spear taller than himself, his eyes were full of despair, and his voice was full of tears.

General Zhang smiled slightly and said: "Rest assured, although the Xiongnu are brutal, as long as we are united, we will be able to repel the Xiongnu and protect the people in the city!" ”

"But my father, and my brother, are dead!" The young soldier wept.

General Zhang sighed and said: "As an official of the Han Dynasty, sacrificing his life for the country and dying as he deserves, what we have to do is to avenge our dead brother, do you want to avenge your father and brother?" ”

The young soldier nodded violently, his eyes gradually became firm, and General Zhang continued: "Brothers, as far as General Ben knows, before Zhang Jianshi sacrificed his life, he had sent rescue everywhere, and a general would definitely come to save us!" ”

When the soldiers heard this, they were immediately full of hope, and hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask General Zhang, which general is willing to come to save us?" ”

General Zhang turned to look to the east and said, "If it is not as expected by General Ben, it must be Zhao Qian, the general of Zhenbei, who came to the rescue of Bingzhou!" ”

"Huh? It's General Zhao! ”

"It's General Zhao who beheaded the three bandit leaders of the Yellow Turbans in a row!"

"Great, really great!"

Seeing that the morale of all the soldiers gradually came up, General Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still unsteady in his heart, would Zhenbei General Zhao Qian really come?

"Report!"

At this moment, a messenger colonel rushed to the city wall and came to General Zhang: "General Qiyu, the Hun army has begun to assemble again and is ready to attack the city." ”

"Huh? What the! ”

The soldiers who had just raised a little bit of energy, after hearing the news, became nervous again, turned to look outside the city, and sure enough, in the distance, the army of the Huns began to approach.

General Zhang frowned, and said loudly: "If you continue to defend like this, it will not work at all, this general wants to set up a death squad to attack the Huns, who wants to go with him?" ”

All the soldiers looked at each other, no one dared to respond, they knew that the so-called death squad, that is, the death squad, at least had a city wall in this city to protect it, if they went out of the city, facing nearly 100,000 Huns, there was a chance that they would not be able to come back.

At this moment, the young soldier just now suddenly stepped forward, straightened his chest and said: "General Zhang, I am willing to go, I want to kill the Huns and avenge my father and brother!" ”

General Zhang looked at him twice, stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Not bad, real man!" ”

"General, I'll go too!"

"I am also willing to follow General Zhang!"

Soon, the general Zhang gathered a cavalry team of 1,000 people, and General Zhang, armed with a hook and sickle, took the lead and led the crowd out.

The Xiongnu army is getting closer and closer to Jinyang City, and has immediately arrived under the city wall, preparing to climb the wall and break the city.

"Captain, General Zhang won't ignore us anymore and lead his troops to escape, right?" A soldier said anxiously.

After hearing this, a squad leader in charge of a hundred soldiers next to him sank his face and shouted: "General Zhang's righteousness and courage are unparalleled, whoever dares to talk nonsense will be killed!" Listen to me and let go of the arrows! ”

For a time, on the city wall, arrows rained down, and the Huns fell to the ground with arrows, and for a while, wails arose, but after a group of people fell, a group of people came up next, and continued to pose a threat to Jinyang City.

At this time, there was already a high ladder to climb the city on the city wall, and the Huns began to put their shields on their heads and climb up the city wall along the high ladder.

Due to the shield protection, the bow and arrow did only enough damage to the Huns who landed in the city, and the Huns had already climbed more than halfway up the ladder.

"Ready to boil oil, pour!"

The boiling hot oil poured down the ladder, and poured the hot oil on the shield of the first Huns.

Although the shield blocked most of the hot oil, there was still a lot of hot oil flowing down the gap.

"Ahh

How could the Hun soldier endure the pouring of hot oil, after screaming, his hands were grabbing and dancing in the air, his feet slipped, and he fell from the air more than ten meters high.

With a bang, the head of the Hun soldier hit a stone, and his brain burst out and he died, but he was also spared the pain of pouring hot oil on his body.

Coincidentally, this is the case in other fortified positions, and the Huns continue to fall from the high ladders, but the defense of Jinyang City is still not optimistic.

The boiling oil became less and less, but the Hun soldiers continued to flow, and finally some Hun soldiers killed and injured the head of the city and tore open the crack in the direction of Jinyang.

In the siege war, as long as you can attack the city wall, it is only a matter of time before the city is broken, although the first Hun soldier to attack the head of the city was killed by several officers and soldiers, but it is followed by one or two.

There are more and more Hun soldiers who climbed to the top of the city, and a smile appeared at the corner of the mouth of the Hun Shan Yu Bugu who stood under the city and watched the battle, and this Jinyang City was finally about to be broken by him.

In order to capture this city, the price paid by Su Bugu is a bit big, and he has secretly decided that when he captures this city, he must slaughter all the men inside, as for the women, hehe.

Just when the Su Bu bone was whimsical, suddenly a cannon rang out, and a cavalry was killed from the flank, and the first person was wearing a golden armor and red robe, and he was holding a hook and sickle broadsword, which was General Zhang.

The cavalry directly killed the Xiongnu soldiers who were besieging the city, and at once they were scattered, ruthlessly harvesting their lives!

"Look, it's General Zhang, let's work harder, kill!"
