Chapter 550: Surprise Attack

p

In the end, Hu Fan adopted Zhu Lingshi's suggestion and quickly put it into practice.

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as there was a faint morning light in the sky, the 9,000 Hexi soldiers had left the dense forest and headed for Langzhong.

With a horizontal sword at his waist and a shield in his hand, the Hexi soldier hurried through the mountains and forests.

The army marched forward with dusty wisps of dust, leaving footprints in a messy way.

When the sky was bright, the partial division arrived at the foot of Langzhong City.

The army stopped a stone's throw from the city, waiting for the commander's order.

Hu Fan and Zhu Lingshi stood side by side, looking at the panicked Shu army at the head of the city, a sneer appeared on the corner of their mouths.

"The stakes are high in this war, and there must be no room for mistakes."

"As long as Langzhong is taken, not only Jiangzhou is within reach, but Chengdu will also be under the threat of our army."

"This will completely open up the situation and win the first chance for the final victory."

"Ling Shi, you and I will each bring one and attack at the same time, and strive to win Langzhong in one battle."

"No!"

……

Yang Yu stood at the head of the city, his eyes flashed with panic, and he looked at the Hexi army that suddenly appeared under the city calmly.

He looked up at the distant sky, and his thoughts came flooding through him like smoke.

As a battlefield general, he knew very well what it meant for the Hexi Army to appear in Langzhong.

thought that at the beginning, he and Hou Hui took the risk to help Chen Zong to the top, thinking that they could follow each other to enjoy the glory and wealth.

Unexpectedly, he killed Hexi halfway, which completely broke the beautiful fantasy in his heart.

At present, Langzhong is being laid a net by the Hexi army, even if he inserts his wings, he may not be able to escape this catastrophe.

Thinking of this, Yang Yu let out a long breath of turbidity, closed his eyes in despair, and sighed secretly: "It's over!" ”

This 'finished' not only refers to himself, but also to the Xishu regime he participated in establishing.

Yang Yu understands that he has done a lot of evil and is one of the culprits who murdered Mao Xuan.

Therefore, whether he chooses to fight, hold on, surrender, or escape, the end is a dead end.

Whether it is to win the hearts of the people, or for the sake of stabilizing Shudi, King Yong will not let him go easily after the war.

Since the left and right are dead, Yang Yu reluctantly chooses to resist stubbornly.

He ordered his soldiers to carry all the materials such as rolling logs, stones, arrows, and hot oil to the city, and prepared to defend them.

……

At this time, the city was crowded with people.

There is tension between us and the enemy, and a big battle is about to break out!

Before the war, Hu Fan and Zhu Ling stood under the banner of the Chinese army like sculptures, and their hearts were full of belief in victory.

The eyes of the two were as sharp as falcons, staring at Yang Yu tightly.

Suddenly, a killing machine flashed, Hu Fan's mouth opened widely, and he roared angrily: "Attack!" ”

Suddenly, the drums of war shook the earth.

With the shouts of soldiers and the neighing of war horses, a gorgeous movement was played together.

The Hexi soldiers set up a ladder and under the cover of the longbowmen, bravely crossed the ditch, climbed the ladder, and climbed towards the city wall.

The enemy troops in the city kept shooting arrows, throwing rolling logs, stones, and even a pot of boiling oil and water.

During the battle, there were constantly Hexi soldiers who were shot by clusters of arrows, smashed by rolling logs and stones, and then fell down the ladder screaming.

Only a few were lucky enough to climb the wall, but no sooner had they stepped onto the city than they were overwhelmed by the surging enemy.

The extremely tragic scene on the head of the city happened to be watched by Zhu Lingshi and Hu Fan.

Both of them frowned slightly, clearly the enemy's will to resist was beyond their expectations.

But that didn't stop their determination to take Langzhong.

Under the rays of the rising sun, Zhu Lingshi and Hu Fan moved their muscles and bones a few times on the spot, preparing to go into battle in person.

The sun shone on their faces, and they still looked flat, calm, and confident.

Soon, the second round of the offensive began.

This time, under the personal leadership of Zhu Lingshi and Hu Fan, the soldiers of Hexi were as brave as tigers.

And Yang Xuan, who knew that he could not escape death, in order to defend Langzhong, also stood at the head of the city to personally supervise the battle.

So much so that the defenders of Langzhong fought very tenaciously, and even if they suffered heavy losses, they still did not dare to slack off and retreat.

Under the persecution of Yang Yu, the defenders desperately resisted the increasingly fierce offensive of the Hexi Army regardless of casualties.

On the battlefield, the sound of trumpets and war drums came and went, and the shouts of killing were deafening.

One side is trying to get a glimmer of life for itself, and is unwilling to take half a step back.

The other party is shouldering a heavy responsibility, and in order to make a name for himself and make a contribution, he is pressing step by step.

The two sides have already killed each other, and neither of them will back down, and they both want to defeat and destroy the other.

The casualties were increasing, the battlefield was littered with corpses and blood, and the battle was unprecedentedly fierce.

Zhu Lingshi waved a horizontal knife like a mad tiger, and there was a circle of corpses lying under his feet.

Sweat mixed with blood, ran down his cheeks, neck, and back.

He was like a fierce lion that burst into the flock, and he was invincible to all who stood in his way.

When the soldiers of Hexi saw the courage of the main general, they were extremely excited and their morale was high.

The standard-bearers and drummers in the battalion worked harder and harder to beat the war drums and wave the flags, desperately cheering for and cheering for the robes.

Time passed slowly, and the situation became more and more inclined to Zhu Lingshi and Hu Fan.

Hu Fan and Zhu Lingshi were very keenly aware of the change in the situation, and they found that the enemy's resistance was getting weaker and weaker.

The two men unanimously ordered their men to launch a final offensive against the enemy.

After another stick of incense, the majority of soldiers finally climbed to the top of the city under the leadership of Zhu Lingshi and Hu Fan.

At this time, Yang Yu, who was at the end of the road, was unwilling to fail and tried to escape with his henchmen, but unexpectedly bumped into Zhu Lingshi head-on.

The two of them only fought for a few rounds, and they were scared.

He didn't expect that the unknown Hexi general in front of him would far surpass him in force.

He just wanted to find an opportunity to escape, but he thought that Zhu Lingshi was quick, so he hurriedly stepped forward and split it into two pieces with a knife.

Seeing that the situation was not good, several of his henchmen turned their heads and wanted to run, but they were rushed forward by the soldiers of the Hexi Army and chopped into meat paste.

At noon, the Hexi army finally successfully conquered Langzhong and killed thousands of defenders below the rebel general Yang.

……

"King Yu, General Yang died in battle, most of the five thousand defenders were lost, and the rest surrendered to Hexi."

A few days later, the fast horse galloped into Chengdu, bringing the bad news of the loss of Langzhong to the king of Shu.

Knowing that Langzhong was lost, Xishu was shocked.

The indulgence was even more shocked, and the panic and fear in his heart could no longer be concealed, and he was completely out of order.

He stared blankly at the messenger, ignoring propriety, and shouted at a shrill voice.

"How could Langzhong be lost? Isn't the Hexi Army in Yangping Pass and Sword Pavilion? ”

"Why did you run to Langzhong again? Could it be that they have wings? ”

Langzhong was lost and Yang was killed in battle, so Chen Zong realized that Chengdu was in danger.

Faced with the sudden collapse of the situation, the king of Xishu suddenly had a sense of impending a storm.

The war was going too fast, far more than he expected.

The loss of Langzhong meant that the Hexi Army had successfully opened up a second front.

As a result, Xishu will have to face the pressure of fighting on two fronts.

Now that the entire division of Xishu is hoarding the Sword Pavilion, there are less than 10,000 people in Chengdu to guard it, and the pressure can be imagined.

"Wang Maide deserves to be a famous general in Hexi, and he is really cunning!"

"This move hit the west and played Xishu up and down."

Indulgence is not a rice bucket, and after his emotions calmed down, he figured out the key after a little thought.

After sighing, he remembered Daofu again.

I just wanted to scold, but after thinking about it again, I said secretly: "Alas! Now that the matter has come to this, what is the use of scolding? ”

Next, let's think about how to block the Hexi Army, otherwise I am afraid that a catastrophe will really come.

Not long after, the Xishu civil and military officers who received the news came to the palace one after another.

Everyone obviously found that the face of the King of Shu was full of worry, and he was also absent-minded about the courtiers.

I saw Chen Zong waving his hand casually, saying "flat", and sat down at the back of the dragon case.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the widow has just received an unfortunate news that Langzhong has lost and died in battle."

"At the moment, Chengdu is in danger, I don't know what your Aiqing countermeasures?"

"Great King, Langzhong is the northeast gateway of Yizhou, connecting Chengdu in the west and Jiangzhou in the south."

"If Langzhong is lost, Jiangzhou will be in danger, please send troops to rescue Jiangzhou as soon as possible."

Although Langzhong is far away from Chengdu, it is the northeastern barrier of Yizhou.

Once Langzhong falls, Jiangzhou Ba County is almost unsafe.

Seeing that someone proposed to send troops to support Jiangzhou, Chen Indulgence couldn't help but show bitterness on his face.

Now most of the troops in Xishu are in the Sword Pavilion, and there are only about 10,000 people defending Chengdu.

No matter where the troops are deployed, it seems to be a bit difficult.

"King, Jiangzhou is in danger, and the army of the Sword Pavilion cannot save it!"

"Please give the king an order to the auxiliary general immediately and order him to divide his troops to rescue Jiangzhou."
