Zhong Xingyin has lost weight in the past few months, and he looked around at the people in the hall: "Zhao Jun used his ingenuity to falsely claim to be helped by the gods, and now our army is passively beaten, morale is exhausted, manpower is exhausted, why don't the second and third sons talk about it, how should they be garrisoned?" ”

The faces of the people in the tent were tired, their eyes were black, their eyes were wide and small, and no one answered. The Zhao army has been attacking the city for more than 20 days, especially the offensive is too fierce in the past few days, the guards have to defend the four city walls, and make up for the leaks.

Zhong Xingyin waited for a long time and saw that no one answered, so he could only look at the sky and sigh: "Can't we even hold on until the reinforcements arrive, and hold on until the Zhi's help?" ”

At this time, Zhang Liushuo stood up and said, "The foreign minister has a plan. ”

Zhongxingyin was overjoyed: "What's the plan? ”

"Zhao Jun relied on nothing more than those dozens of siege weapons, I went to the city to observe for a long time, and at first pulled back one night, but these days Zhao Jun may be troublesome, and he directly let it stand in place, at most a little back a hundred steps. I expected that Zhao Bing was proud because it was too smooth, and he underestimated Chaoge. If we send a dead soldier out in the middle of the night, carrying torches and grease, we will surely be able to burn all these instruments one by one, and if we destroy half of them, we will be able to recover our morale and sustain us for a few more months......"

Zhong Xingyin felt that it made sense, and asked who could lead the troops out of the city to rush, but no one came forward, and the house fell silent.

Zhong Xingyin is like the lord of a country east of Taihang, but he has suffered countless grievances in the past few months, and he was furious at the moment, saying: "It's a shame that the Zhao family forced me to come here!" Today, when I asked for a battle, no one in the hall dared to respond? You're not a man! ”

When he was angry, all the people in the tent turned away from their seats and bowed down. I was afraid to speak.

Zhong Xingyin finally stood up with his sword and said angrily: "Since this is the case, then I will personally go into battle and go out of the city to fight!" ”

Everyone stood up to stop him, he is now the person with the highest status and prestige in the city, and the safety of the city is at stake. How could the people let him go out, and the king humiliated the ministers to death, so that some people came out to plead guilty, and were willing to go out of the city after night to try.

……

It's night, and the moonlight is like water.

The gate of Chaoge West City slowly opened, and a group of nearly 1,000 "dead soldiers" sneaked out of the city, although they were known as dead soldiers, but they were more than a minute and a half worse than the Dongyang Jinjun who risked their lives in the battle of the Mortal Communist Party, and their equipment may be better. But everyone has apprehension and anxiety on their faces, as if they are on an adventure with no return.

If it weren't for the heavy rewards and military orders, they would never have come out.

Only when you go out of the city can you feel how fierce the trebuchet's attack on Chaoge has been in the past few days, the walls are scarred, and some places have been smashed by dozens of pounds of stone bullets to crack small gaps.

Most of the heavy siege equipment of the Zhao army was distributed on the southern city wall, but the Chaoge defenders did not go out of the south gate, but crawled from the west gate against the root of the wall. They planned to make a surprise attack when they arrived at the southern wall, burn the siege equipment, and then return from the south gate.

In the darkness of the night. Those dozens of siege machines were like behemoths waiting silently to devour the living after the city was broken.

In the past few days, the defense of the Zhao army seems to be really extremely lax, and there are only some simple earthen ramparts, ravines and fences in front of such an important siege equipment, and the soldiers seem to be dozing off with their spears, and they have not found that anyone in the city dares to stand out from outside the city.

After approaching the target, the Chaoge guards suddenly got up and rushed forward more than a hundred steps in one go. They had to ignite the fire quickly before Zhao Jun could react.

But until they arrived at the weak protective belt, not only did no one stop them, but they couldn't even see a single figure, and if they looked closely, where were the Zhao soldiers who were dozing in the ravine? It is clearly a wooden shelf and a scarecrow with human clothes hanging on it.

"Not good. There is fraud! ”

No matter how stupid the guards were, they reacted at this moment, and they suddenly realized that something was wrong.

At this moment, the rapid sound of war drums sounded in the camp of the Zhao army, which was originally silent and dark, and in an instant, in almost no particular order in the night on their left and right, countless heads appeared together, and they were all drilled out of the ground. These men, who had been prostrate for a long time in the trenches covered with reed mats and sand, now all threw off their covers, jumped out in armor and weapons, and shouted in unison, and at the same time slaughtered the guards of the song.

Although the guards of Chaoge knew the plan at this time, it was too late.

Originally, they took advantage of the pride and slackness of the Zhao army and the lax defense, and took a one-ten-thousandth chance to attack the Zhao family's front camp and burn those siege equipment. However, Zhao Wuxian took advantage of the mentality of the defenders in the city to set up an ambush, and suddenly, the situation took a sharp turn, and the Chaoge guards changed from the enemy's light and dark to my clear enemy, and their mentality instantly recovered from the panic and fear when they were bombarded by trebuchets.

They had lost their fighting spirit, and after only two parries, they could not resist it, and they did not have time to burn the trebuchet again, and began to flee towards the city.

However, outside the south gate of Chaoge, which was empty, there were several ambushes at some point, and hundreds of cavalry divided into two teams galloped from the side with torches, and rushed to kill under the leadership of a cavalry general wearing red and black leather armor.

The Chaoge guards are tired and courageous, how can they be the opponents of these thousands of ambush soldiers? However, they were killed in three or two charges, and the leading military officer was also killed in the battle.

At the head of the city, Zhong Xingyin and Zhang Liushuo's faces were pale, and they saw the whole process in their eyes, during which many guards who were lucky enough to slip through the net ran to the south gate to knock on the door for help, but the people in the city could not open it, and finally watched them nailed to death on the city gate one by one by Zhao Jun's bow and crossbow......

In a desperate gamble, the adventure of sending people out of the city was over, and Zhao's trebuchet was unharmed, and the next day he continued to throw stones into the city, but this time, there were some other things mixed in:

The heads of the guards who were killed yesterday...... One by one, they were thrown back into the city, falling to the ground and smashed into rotten melons, pink brains and black and red blood all over the city, which was the most cruel spiritual attack for the defenders, and the guards who had seen a lot of blood and fighting these days were all vomiting and frightened.

In this way, the city wall of Chaoge did not fall, but the psychological defense line of the defenders completely collapsed!

The next day, under the bombardment of trebuchets, the Zhao army launched a general attack, and in the southeast corner, the crossbowmen climbed the arrow tower as high as several zhang to suppress the firepower in the city. In the southwest corner of the city, more than a dozen ladders made by the bus brigade leaned against the women's wall, and countless soldiers rushed towards the city.

The defense of the Chaoge guards is full of loopholes, and the people can retreat, from the early morning to the evening, in the case of the South Gate being broken and the Zhao army ascending the city, it is night, and Chaoge Waiguo has fallen!

The Zhao army rushed in, because they saw that the city was broken, and seeing that the Zhao army was strong, the people of the Chaoge guards who were beaten to pieces in the garrison of Waiguo were completely desperate, and they no longer resisted stubbornly, but surrendered in pieces.

Under the impact of the rebels and the Zhao army, the inner city of Chaoge did not last long, Zhang Liushuo saw that the general trend was gone, and said to his son: "You follow the Bank of China Botu to break through!" I am the ruler of the city of Chaoge, and I will stay to defend it, and Wang Sheng has an enmity with me, but I persuade the lord to hand over to me the festival of death that guards this city, and I can't help but be honest! ”

So he killed himself in the inner city, and when Zhao Wuxian entered the inner city, he only had time to see Zhang Liushuo's body lying in the hall, and his seal of the song city was hung on the beam......

Zhao Wuxian sighed for this uncle of Zhang Mengtan, and it was more related to the movements of Zhong Xingyin.

"Lord, there is no Zhongxingyin in the outer Guo and the city!"

"Lord, there is a force of more than 1,000 soldiers who came out of the north gate when Waiguo fell, and they are heading towards Qishui, it should be Zhongxingyin!"

After listening to the report, Zhao Wuxian said: "Zhongxing Yin is the leader of the enemy, let him escape if he fights a battle, and he must not be let go again this time!" On the shore of Qishui is the defense of Liu Xia's first division, and Zhong Xingyin may crash headfirst into his net. But in order to be sure, in addition to leaving the infantry to guard the city, all the remaining cavalry were sent out and searched for Chaoge from all sides, so that Zhong Xingyin must be caught! ”

Thinking that he would be able to capture Zhong Xingyin, he would be able to serve the head of the second qing, and Zhao Wuxian's voice carried a hint of ruthlessness: "If you die, you have to see people, and if you live, you have to see corpses!" ”
