The wheat was soaked in blood, the headless corpses were heaped with wheat, the blood stained the wool red, and the frightened oxen rushed in all directions, trampling the soldiers into the dirt. The sound of bows and arrows breaking through the wind was endless, the sound of blades tearing bones was so muffled, and the sound of death hovered on the blades, which could not be described as mournful. Ma Hong stood on the city tower and watched all this, his eyes were wide, and the fishy wind mixed with the smell of blood slapped on his face, wet, it turned out to be raining. Stratagem is an invisible sword that can turn those who touch him into lonely ghosts, so ruthless. At this moment, Ma Hong thoroughly understood the power of the strategy, this should be the purpose of the teacher to let them come, let them see the power of the strategy, let them listen to the sound of the soldiers, this is not beautiful, but it is very powerful.

Zhang Ji led the army to attack half an hour later, when the soldiers who ran to grab food were almost dead, and the soldiers who wanted to flee back to the barracks were forced to have nowhere to run by the rain of arrows from their companions. When Liu Pan saw Zhang Ji attacking, he personally led a team of men and horses to block it, allowing the large army to enter the city first. The vanguard cavalry led by Zhang Xiu was very fast, and in a short time they approached the Jingzhou army and fought with the Jingzhou army. Zhang Xiu thought that the hand-to-hand combat at close range made the archers on the city wall unable to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and did not dare to release arrows. But Zhang Xiu was wrong, Kuai Yue's hand waved down, and countless arrows broke through the wind and got into the crowd of people in the melee.

Liu Pan heard the call, turned over and dismounted, and ran towards the city gate at a high speed, his speed was so fast that he ran towards the city gate without even giving the order to retreat. When he stood inside the gate, he immediately ordered the gate to be closed, and at that moment he saw a pair of desperate eyes through the gradually closing gate.

The Jingzhou soldiers surrounded the city gate and knocked on the city gate vigorously, but there was no response inside, they could only desperately raise their weapons to meet the attack of the Xiliang soldiers. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was so cold on his face, Ma Hong looked at this scene without blinking, this real war scene was not as spectacular as he imagined, but it was more tragic than he imagined. The roar came and went, never stopping, but it grew weaker and weaker.

Kuai Yue stood with his sword in his armor, and finally a smile appeared on his face, and he said with a smile: "The enemy's attack is getting weaker and weaker, and we have won this war." ”

Pang Tong said: "This Zhang Jiming knew that he couldn't break the city, and he pounced like a mad dog." ”

Ma Hong took over and said: "The dog is starved, I am afraid that even the owner will bite it, and if the person is hungry, even the person will eat it." Zhang Ji's food will only decrease, not increase, if his soldiers weaken to a certain amount, the food will be able to support a few more days, maybe he will be able to return to Hongnong. ”

Pang Tong said with a smile: "Zhang Ji is here now, why are you going back!" Will Mr. Kui let him go back? ”

Kuai Yue touched the beard on his chin and said, "He goes back, maybe when he turns back, of course it is best to leave him here." ”

Liu Pan gasped for breath at this time, climbed the city wall with his sword, walked to Kuai Yue's side and said: "This time, it has reduced Zhang Ji's thousands of troops, and Zhang Ji's soldiers have suffered more than thirty percent of casualties, and they have not yet had the heart to retreat, which is not in line with the art of war!" ”

Kuai Yue smiled and said: "Understanding people's hearts is sometimes better than understanding the art of war." ”

After listening to Kuai Yue's words, Liu Pan's blood-stained face showed an expression that seemed to understand but did not understand. At this time, he suddenly heard Ma Hong sighing, so he asked, "Why is Xiao San sighing!" ”

Ma Hong looked at the first soldier who climbed the city wall and said, "I was thinking about how desperate the first soldier to climb the city gun was. ”

Before Ma Hong's words fell, the first soldier to climb the city wall had been hacked to death with a knife, Ma Hong said secretly: According to the records of the Three Kingdoms, it is recorded in the Three Kingdoms that Le Jin is the first to ascend, what is his mood every time he climbs the city tower, is he thinking that he has made great contributions? Or am I still alive?

The battle continued, the shouting was not broken, the Xiliang soldiers attacked the city wall again and again, but were repelled by Liu Pan himself, Liu Hu, who guarded the west gate, saw that the Xiliang soldiers only attacked the north gate, so he handed over the responsibility of defending the city to the hands of the deputy general, so he led a team of soldiers to the north gate to help.

Kuai Yue said loudly: "Zhang Ji finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, and he was ready to come to the city to command the siege in person. ”

Liu Pan immediately roared like a chicken blood: "Brothers, the one wearing black armor, wearing a black iron jacket, and a tassel ornament on his helmet is Zhang Ji, give me a hard beating!" Shooting Zhang Ji's death rewarded 300 stones. ”

With Liu Pan's order, arrows rained down. Although Zhang Ji was already within the range of the enemy's archers, he was still very relieved that he had a well-trained escort by his side with an iron shield to protect him. He braved the rain of arrows to direct the soldiers to rush forward, and the main general stepped forward to supervise the battle, and the attack of the besieging soldiers was even more fierce. The commander of Zhang Ji's guards was instructed by Zhang Ji to lead the army to attack the city, and now the deputy captain Tian Liangzheng is leading a team of shield soldiers to protect Zhang Ji's safety.

"Divide the shield, take three steps forward."

"Combine the shields."

Tian Liang gave orders continuously, and when he closed the shield this time, he heard the sound of feather arrows shooting on the shield. The soldier was tightly protected by an iron shield around him, and the light from the shield spilled in, Tian Liang looked out through the shield crack, and the rain of arrows in the sky continued to shoot, this time the rain of arrows did not pause like the last time, it seems that the enemy has discovered Zhang Ji, at this time Tian Liang only needs a command error, he can send Zhang Ji to death, but looking at the enemy's offensive, he is afraid that he himself will be shot to death.

At this time, it was no longer possible to divide the shield, and the soldiers could only walk forward with Tian Liang's order against the shield wall, and Zhang Ji stood by Tian Liang's side. There were more and more arrows hitting the iron shield, and the impact force was so strong that many soldiers' hands could not bear it, and at this time, it only took a little more external force to make the soldier fall. At this time, Tian Liang stretched out his foot and stumbled on the foot of a shield soldier beside him, and hooked the shield soldier down with a strong hook, and the fallen soldier hit the body of the soldier behind him, and then fell five shield soldiers in a row. The wall composed of iron shields formed a vacancy, and at this time, Tian Liang did not command the shield soldiers to fill the void at the first time, but shouted to protect the lord, stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Ji's arm to push Zhang Ji into the void. Before Zhang Ji could react, he was pierced through his throat and chest by the random arrows that came down, and died violently on the spot.

Tian Liang thought that after killing Zhang Ji, he commanded the shield soldiers to form a shield wall and continue to retreat, but he didn't expect Zhang Ji to die suddenly, and the shield soldiers were in a mess, and even some shield soldiers abandoned the shield and fled, the shield wall began to collapse almost instantly, Tian Liang was shocked and snatched the shield from the hands of the soldiers next to him and retreated, in the process he was hit by two arrows in the back.

With the death of Zhang Ji in battle, the Xiliang soldiers were in chaos, and the troops began to disperse. In order to command the siege, Zhang Xiu also attacked on foot, but he didn't expect Zhang Ji to die suddenly. He shouted loudly, led a team to run towards Zhang Ji, and when he arrived at the place where Zhang Ji died in battle, he carried Zhang Ji's body and withdrew his troops.

Seeing that Zhang Ji was killed in battle, Liu Pan asked Kuai Yue's opinion, and Kuai Yue agreed to pursue the whole army out of the city. Zhang Xiu carried Zhang Ji's corpse and roared in the ragged army, and the Xiliang soldiers who had lost the support of the main general were in a mess and became livestock to be slaughtered, and they scattered and fled, and the Xiliang soldiers who had no time to escape were harvested by the Jingzhou soldiers piece by piece.
