"Knock Knock"

In the early morning of August 24, the second year of Jianning, a deafening drum sounded.

This is the wake-up drum, followed by the assembly drum, and the third drum has not yet assembled the standby to behead, which is the iron law of the barracks.

Hearing the sound of drums, the Han troops of the major battalions hurriedly put on armor, picked up swords, spears and other weapons, and rushed to assemble at each cantonment.

Then, under the leadership of their respective commanders, they rushed to their respective Qu military marquis, then the military horses, and finally their respective captains.

Huang Zhong looked at the four thousand tiger soldiers standing straight, and his heart was agitated.

Although he was previously under the command of Dong Zhuo, the general of Manyue, Huang Zhong was a captain who commanded 5,000 soldiers and horses.

But no matter the speed of assembly, the neatness of the queue, and even the combat power are not as good as the Tiger Army.

Because the Eighth Army at this time is equivalent to the Central Army of Jiang in later generations, and those state and county soldiers and horses are equivalent to the local armies of later generations, which cannot be equated.

After a simple roll call, Huang Zhong ordered the disbandment.

Half an hour later, the well-fed Han army assembled again, this time not disbanded, but slowly walked out of the camp under the leadership of their respective captains.

The four gates of the sentence are all pressed by the Han army, but from the perspective of the strength of the four gates, the Han army has the least strength in the west gate, followed by the east gate.

However, if Xu Zhao really wanted to break through, he couldn't choose the West Gate and the East Gate.

Outside the west gate, there is only a few dozen miles of sea, and if you break through from here, you will definitely be buried in the belly of the fish, especially when the Yangzhou naval army under its secret control is destroyed.

Beyond the east gate is a vast flat land, and the nearest county seat, Yan County, is also hundreds of miles away.

In this distance, the unparalleled iron cavalry of the Han army could easily annihilate it.

Therefore, Xu Zhao at this time can be said to be worried.

"Your Majesty, you better go back to the palace and rest!" A rebel general respectfully said to Xu Zhao on the city wall.

Xu Zhao was at the north gate of Juzhang at this time, because Liu Hong was also outside the north gate.

"Heaven is unfair!" Xu Zhao looked at Liu Hong, who was supported by the army and a group of generals and sat on the chariot, and whispered unwillingly.

Even the anti-army generals on the side had never heard what Xu Zhao said.

At this time, Xu Zhao's mood can be described as very complicated, at the beginning, Xu Zhao relied on his wisdom to let the barbarians in Jingzhou and Yangzhou rebel. It made Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, helpless to ask for help, and the whole army of Zang Min of Yangzhou was annihilated.

Then he played Sun Jian, the descendant of Sun Wu, to control the whole county of Huiji, and captured the land of Trinity of Wu County, as if no one was in a country.

At that time, Xu Zhao really regarded himself as the destiny of heaven, which is why he was called the emperor.

However, Yuhang was defeated, which can be described as a complete defeat, and the Han army only relied on 5,000 cavalry to go down several cities in a row, and chased it all the way to this Zhangcheng.

This made Xu Zhao disheartened for a while, especially when he fled, and learned that his only son Xu Chang died at the hands of barbarians, which made Xu Zhao almost collapse.

However, Xu Zhao carried it over, in order to defeat and kill Liu Hong. Even if you can't kill Liu Hong, you have to make Liu Hong's vitality hurt.

In this state of mind, Xu Zhao decided to stick to the sentence.

At this time, when Xu Zhao saw Liu Hong's figure, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of jealousy.

That's right, it's jealousy, he himself went through hardships to have a county, but it disappeared overnight.

However, Liu Hong didn't do anything, and he sat on the world, and I have to say that Xu Zhao's state of mind at this time was the same as those vassal kings.

At this moment, the Han army moved.

"Knock Knock Knock"

A rapid drum sounded, and several shouts were heard in the Han army.

"Sword and shield soldiers advance."

"Crossbowmen follow."

"The well is forward."

"The siege team is ready."

"Trebuchet Release"

With a shout, the Han army began to move continuously.

Just as the Han army was advancing, the trebuchet was in full swing.

"Woo woo"

The sound of the boulder breaking through the air was endless, Xu Zhao smiled slightly when he saw this, and said secretly, "When I was in Yuhang, I didn't know that I had such a sharp weapon, and I suffered a big loss." Will you still suffer like this at this time? ”

Immediately, Xu Zhao ordered, "The whole army is hidden under the city wall, and there is no need to pay attention to its catapults and wells, and when its army attacks the city, the catapults will stop." ”

"No"

After receiving Xu Zhao's order, the rebels hurriedly hid under the city wall.

Seeing this on the chariot, Liu Hong frowned slightly, and said secretly, "This Xu Zhao, it's really no longer to fall twice in the same place!" How to break the enemy now? ”

Xu Rong saw Liu Hong's worries, so he said loudly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, you will definitely be able to break through today." ”

Liu Hong couldn't help but look at Xu Rong when he heard this, Liu Hong really didn't know where Xu Rong got so much confidence.

But this is not the time to ask, after all, the emperor is used to stabilize the morale of the army, and the more the emperor shows that he doesn't care, the more relieved the Han army under his hand will be.

Because the Han army standing on the flat ground could not see the specific battle situation ahead, they could only judge the battle ahead by the performance of the generals.

If the general frowns, then the soldiers under his command will know that the battle is not going well, and if the general scolds, it means that the battle ahead will be lost.

On the contrary, if the general smiles, it means that the battle is going well, and if he laughs, the victory is decided.

Therefore, Liu Hong only needs to act as a Dinghai Divine Needle at this time.

Then I saw the Han army's trebuchet, constantly projecting boulders, as if he didn't care whether he could hit people or not.

The Han army besieging the city was advancing slowly until the well entered the best shooting spot and the siege team was ready.

Xu Rongfang waved his hand and issued an order: "The trebuchet stops shooting and attacks the city." ”

After receiving the order, the trebuchet stopped abruptly, and the Han army under Juzhang City rushed forward with shouts.

"Kill"

The earth-shattering shouts of killing, as well as the sound of the disappearing boulder breaking through the air, made the rebels immediately know the information of the Han army's siege.

Without the command of the anti-army generals, the rebels rushed to the city and prepared to kill.

However, the rebels who had just emerged were constantly attacked by the Han army.

"Whoosh"

The Han army's arrow rain was like locusts and shot towards the city, and it was like a downpour.

Suddenly, the outcropping rebels in the city fell one by one, and the dense rain of arrows stunned the rebels.

The reality and the ideal are very different, and the rebels who originally thought they could attack the Han army besieging the city were hit by the destruction of the surname.

This is not only blinded by the ordinary soldiers of the anti-army, but even Xu Zhao is a little incredulous.

However, the facts are in front of us, and the Han army is still climbing up the ladder.

Liu Hong looked at the scene in front of him and said in an undetectable voice, "Is the artillery fire extending?" ”

The rebels were pressed by a catapult to the point that they could not raise their heads, and then ordered the slow-moving Jingqi to step forward and find the best shooting spot safely and securely, while the siege team walked to the city unharmed. Then the trebuchet stopped, and the army attacked the city with lightning speed, what a tactic!

After figuring out Xu Rong's tactics, Liu Hong couldn't help but secretly say, "The trebuchet at this time can guarantee such an accurate surname?" ”
