Chapter 221: (Nanyang Guardian Battle V)

Zhang Lian thought about the situation that happened at the time, it turned out that after Li Qian decided to act the next night, Zheng Kang returned to the mansion and explained the matter to the Han army spies who had already sneaked into the city, the Han army spies were quite wise, and they received a secret letter from Pi Tong before leaving, so they directly ordered Zheng Kang to be ready tonight, and prepare to start after three quarters of the hour, and the Han army besieging the city outside the city will launch an attack on Nanyang at the same time, at this time, you can take advantage of the chaos to open the south city gate and let the Han army enter the city.

As the supreme general of the Han army on the Nanyang battlefield, Pi Tong was given the right by Liu Xuan to supervise the Nanyang war, and even Dai Juncheng and Du Yilong, the two generals with heavy troops, had to be controlled by Pi Tong, not to mention Yan Cen, the king of Luoyang, who had to obediently listen to Pi Tong's command.

East, west, north three sides of the storm, leaving only the south gate, Pi Tong to not worry about Huangfu Nan and others slipping away, what he is waiting for is the south gate to take the initiative to open the door, once the siege of Nanyang, will cause the Cheng Dynasty army in Nanyang City to resist desperately, to put it simply, the south gate looks like a living gate, but in fact it is a dead door, as long as the south gate is opened out of the city, it will be killed by the Han cavalry who have already been ambushed.

The Han army spies who entered Nanyang City were all veterans in the military camp, and more than 30 people disguised themselves as people who fled from Wancheng to enter Nanyang, and hid for a long time, in order to be today, the leader is a Han army marquis, who belongs to the middle level of officers in the Han army, and his subordinates can manage about 500 people.

And Zhang Lian sent out to monitor the Jinyi Wei Ti rode away bad luck, was caught by the Han army, tortured in the courtyard, and couldn't help but give it all out, which made Zheng Kang more prepared for the prepared Jinyi Wei, first let the Jinyi Wei enter the courtyard, and then close the gate, those armed guards under the leadership of the Han army rose up and attacked, it was the Jinyi Wei who reported the news, and he was also desperate to kill.

Just after Zhang Lian finished speaking to Huangfu Nan, there were earth-shattering drums and shouts of killing outside the city, and the Jinyi guard who was about to go to deliver the message had not yet ridden out, so he saw a large group of people and horses in the distance holding torches towards them, led by none other than Murong Guang, because he heard the shouting of killing, Murong Guang, who was patrolling with his soldiers, hurriedly ordered to report to the palace, and it happened that Li Qian's mansion was on the road that Murong Guang must pass.

"General Murong, please go to the mansion of Zheng Kang, the chief of the Chinese book, to rescue the trapped Jinyi Wei, Zheng Kang rebelled, and the Han army wanted to open the south gate to let the Han army enter the city..."

Murong Guang didn't speak after listening, he rode his horse and led people to turn around and go towards Zheng Kang's mansion, Zheng Kang's official position is not small, and Murong Guang naturally knows the location.

Seeing Murong Guang leaving, Huang Fu Nan felt that the situation was starting to become serious, so he quickly turned his head and ordered a subordinate who followed him: "Hurry up and go to the martial arts hall, pass on the emperor's command, and transfer the firearms troops of the Shenji Battalion to the city tower to face the battle..."

"No..."

In Nanyang City, there is Murong Guang, the Nanyang garrison, who can mobilize the Shenji Battalion, as Murong Xue's own uncle, Shangguan Yin Feng naturally gave him this right, and then he is the instructor of the martial arts hall, and now Murong Guang has other things to do, and the only one who can mobilize the Shenji battalion is to find someone who teaches martial arts.

The position of the lecture hall in the southwest of the city, and the Shenji battalion is stationed in the military academy field in the southeast of the city, the subordinate first went to the lecture hall in the southwest of the city, found the instructor on duty, and passed on the situation, and then the instructor who stayed in the camp personally rode to the military academy field in the southeast of the city, and found the commander of the Shenji battalion, and then ordered all the firearms troops of the Shenji battalion to participate in the battle in the name of the official Yin Feng, preparing to defend Nanyang City.

The people of the Shenji Battalion couldn't help it for a long time, as a unit with such a powerful weapon as the Shenwu cannon, once it participated in the battle, it would bring a lot of casualties to the Han army besieging the city, and the Shenwu cannon was too cumbersome, and now it would take at least half an hour to move all of them out to participate in the battle, so the instructor ordered the musket team to disperse to the three city gates to participate in the battle, and personally escorted the Shenwu cannon to the three gates to prepare for the battle.

"Kill..."

"Shoot the arrows..."

"Ahh

On the east city wall, Zhao Xin and Murong Qi respectively commanded the sergeants to release arrows in different positions, and then threw all the sassaga trees down with the help of those people, the Han army suddenly suffered countless casualties, and it was said before that the siege party at night was the most disadvantaged, because of the line of sight, most of the Han troops were killed by the arrows shot down from the city tower, if in the daytime, you can still see the shield in your hand to cover it, and now it has become a target.

And the defenders of the city are not good, also because of the problem of sight, the arrows shot can only be based on feeling, and the blind target archery is the same, hit is lucky, not hit is unlucky.

The city also kept throwing arrows on the city tower, and the rockets stained with fire oil flew towards Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin pulled out the long sword at his waist and picked it up, pushed the arrows away, and then shouted to release the arrows, he also couldn't understand that the Han army, which had been attacking the city all day during the day, would suddenly attack like crazy now.

'Boom... Boom... Boom...'

Soon after, the three walls of Nanyang City invariably sounded this dull loud sound, like a thunderbolt, after the sound, the people on the Han army position were blown to pieces, and then there was a bean-like sound one after another, those Han troops who besieged the city were beaten to the head and bloody, and there were countless casualties.

The Han army had an advantage in numbers, and the Cheng Dynasty army, which was originally at a disadvantage, began to fight like a chicken blood because of the Shenji battalion, and frantically slashed and killed those Han soldiers who were lucky enough to climb up to the city tower, and those Han soldiers who were shot also died on the spot, and some were even killed by arquebuses after attacking the city wall, and they didn't understand how they died until they died.

'Boom... Boom... Boom...'

The sound of artillery came and went one after another over Nanyang, and so did the gunfire, and the two sides fell into a fierce stalemate for this, and no one reaped any benefits.

In a military tent not far from the position of the Han army outside the east of the city, Pi Tong looked at Nanyang City not far away, and his eyes clearly saw that there were shining fires on the city wall from time to time, and when he saw the firelight not long after, he would hear a dull sound like thunder.

Pi Tong frowned and read: "It is rumored that Shangguan Yin Feng knows demon magic, and there are a group of strange people who can do demon arts, could it be that they are in this Nanyang City?" ”

The adjutant general on the side also frowned and looked into the distance, and said: "Metropolitan Governor, after the fire appeared, there were many casualties in our army's formation, and most of them would not even be able to see their hands and feet after death, it is very strange, now the attacking sergeant and those people have begun a stalemate, the situation is not good..."

Pi Tong shook his head, looked at the fire that flashed again, and read: "There are not many defenders in the city, if you step up the attack, maybe you can attack before dawn." Then he turned his head and ordered: "Pass the order, and those who ascend the Nanyang City Gate first will be promoted to three levels and rewarded with a thousand gold." ”

When a herald heard the news, he rode down on horseback to give the order, and Pi Tong turned his head to look at the sergeant beating the drum and said, "Beat the drum, the whole army will attack..."
