More than 20,000 cavalrymen of the two divisions of the Wu army dismounted and rested in this small ravine, and one by one the soldiers dismounted to rest, and the commanders of the two cavalry divisions soon appeared in front of Zhao Yun.

"He Tang!" Under the light of the torches, Zhao Yun's eyes glanced at the big man in front of him. ，

"The last general!" He Tang gave up.

"Your task is to lead all the soldiers of the Third Southern Division, go around to the west city gate, and then attack the city with cavalry, remember to play with momentum and suppress the defenders in the city!" Zhao Yundao.

"General, use cavalry to attack the city, the casualties are too great!" When He Tang heard this, he couldn't help but frown a little.

Since ancient times, cavalry sieges, regardless of success or failure, casualties have been heavy.

"I know!"

Zhao Yun sighed and said in a deep voice: "But if we don't invest in cavalry, we can't let the guards in the city relax, so even if we pay a price, we have to do it!" ”

If the strength of his cavalry division does not appear, the city will never be able to relax, and his plan will not be implemented.

The cavalry siege was helpless, but it had to be done.

"The Admiral understands!"

He Tang is a general of the Southern Army, a fierce general under Huang Gai in the past, with a stable personality and a long-term battle-hardened personality.

"Remember, you must be a strong attack, according to the news of the Jinyi Guard, there are only five thousand soldiers and horses at the West City Gate!" Zhao Yun reminded: "Take the West City Gate, your troops are insufficient, but if you overwhelm them, you will definitely be able to do it!" ”

Only when the troops in the city are overwhelmed, when reinforcements appear, they don't think much about it.

"General rest assured, the last general will guarantee the completion of the task!"

He Tang nodded firmly.

"General, what about my mission?"

Chang Zheng took a step forward. Asked hopefully.

"Your task is also my task, in this battle, I will personally lead the second division of the mad lion to fight!"

Zhao Yun raised his head, looked at the starry sky, and looked decisive: "Until now, I won't hide it from you." My plan is actually very simple, the first step is to send troops to attack the city and suppress the troops in the city, and the second step is to take down Zhang He's 5,000 vanguard army to support Shangyong, and then use this number to open the city gate! ”

……

The next day, the sun rose, and the battle for Shangyong City began to be fierce. Today's battle is three points more fierce than yesterday, the drums at the east city gate are loud and loud, but the sound of horses' hooves at the west city gate also makes the entire Shangyong City shake by three points.

Yang Bai, the general at the head of the city, looked down at the outside of the city, his eyes were a little cold: "They are really here!" ”

Seeing the appearance of this group of cavalry, he was not worried, but relieved.

"Fan Li, we are cavalry. And without siege equipment, how can this city be breached? "Out of town. The cavalry officers of Nansan were waiting in formation, and the momentum was surging, and the division commander looked up at the fortified city and asked.

"Division commander, Shangyong City is not a big city in the first place, and it has always lived in Hanzhong. The east city gate was built with thick walls to defend against enemies in the direction of Jingzhou and Nanyang, while the west city gate was aimed at this Hanzhong mansion, the city wall here is not high, and most importantly, the terrain here is somewhat special. It's like a slope! ”

Fan Li is the chief of staff of the Southern Third Division, he is in his early Chinese New Year's Eve, he belongs to the age of ambition, his eyes look at this city deadly, and think of a way: "We can step on the city!" ”

"Tell me about it!"

He Tang trusted Fan Li very much, and there was a hint of hope in his eyes.

"Division commander, as long as we can build the soil and stand, from here to the head of the city, build a slope of the avenue, naturally we can directly use cavalry to enter the battle, and the horse can step on the city wall!"

"No, it's a big project!" He Tang shook his head: "Don't talk about us, even if there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it will take a month to build a slope that can level the city wall!" ”

"Division commander, in fact, it is not a very big project, we don't need to build along the city wall at all, as long as we build a wide road, allow certain soldiers and horses to kill it, open the gap, and 10,000 soldiers can complete it in one day!"

"You can't get in that way!"

He Tang still shook his head.

Fan Li smiled and said, "Division commander, don't forget, the general's order is that we only need to suppress the defenders in the city, and not directly break through the city wall.

"That's right!"

When He Tang heard this, he immediately understood, nodded, and then jumped off the horse and gave an order: "All soldiers, dismount immediately and prepare to dig the soil and build the road!" ”

"No!"

The tens of thousands of cavalry soldiers were very energetic, and it took half a day to appear outside the city a slope of not very wide leading to the city.

"What are they doing?"

"Do they want to build a city?"

“……”

The soldiers in the city didn't understand the movements of the Wu army outside the city, and some couldn't help but laugh.

"Damn, they're attacking the city this way!"

Yang Bai understood what Wu Jun had in mind outside the city, his eyes were gloomy, and he shouted: "Pass my order, immediately move all the strong crossbows up, and aim at the mouth of the slope, no matter what, you can't let the horses step on the city, come up and kill one by one!" ”

"Yes!"

Now these soldiers in the West City Gate are all his Hanzhong soldiers, and they are absolutely obedient to his orders.

"I really didn't expect that the biggest point of Shangyong's West City Gate was actually seen through at a glance, building a ramp, and stepping on the city with cavalry horses, a good idea!"

Yang Bai clenched the weapon in his hand, his eyes were a little cold, and the corners of his mouth outlined a trace of ridicule: "It's a pity, you don't have enough time, if you give you a month, I really can't prevent you, now it's only less than two days, I want to see, how do you step on the city!" ”

……

A day has passed, the third day of the battle has begun, the battle of Shangyongcheng has reached the final moment, and Zhang He, who is still rectifying the soldiers and horses in Xicheng County, also feels a little wrong.

The county government of Xicheng County.

"General Wei Duan, have we set off to support Shangyong's vanguard army now?" Zhang He asked.

"Yes!"

Wei Duan nodded, his expression was a little indifferent, these 30,000 soldiers and horses were obviously trained by him, but Zhang He became the main general, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.

"When did you leave?"

"At noon today, it is expected to arrive in Shangyong City at noon tomorrow!" Wei Duan looked at the look on Zhang He's face, and suddenly let go of his careful thoughts, and his eyes became a little solemn: "Shangyong has ordered, the Wu army has begun to attack the city, and we need to send reinforcements as soon as possible." ”

"Pass my military orders!" Zhang He stood up: "All the soldiers of the army, gather immediately, and then set off for Shangyong!" ”

"Now?"

"Yes, now!"

Zhang He said worriedly: "I'm afraid it's too late, Shangyong City won't be ours!" ”

"Why?"

"Because I made the wrong move!"

Zhang He's eyes moved slightly, and there was a knot in his brows that could not be untied, and he finally underestimated Zhao Yun. (To be continued......)
