Chapter 60: Chen Cangcheng is broken

After hiding under the city for a long time, the soldiers and generals were already impatient, and at this moment, when they heard Zhang Han's order, they immediately tiptoed and touched towards Chen Cangcheng.

The soldiers of Yunyang County acted as the vanguard, and under the leadership of the Yunyang County Lieutenant, everyone tiptoed, did not dare to make a sound, and slowly approached the city wall. Their task was to climb to the top of the city walls with hook locks and take down the gates so that the large army could enter.

These soldiers are all the remnants of the Great Qin sergeants of that year, and their quality is by no means comparable to that of the Chen Cang rebels, and they also know that their task is important, so they have a spirit of twelve points and dare not slack off.

Although everyone is light and tries not to make a sound, it is impossible to be silent. The sound of the body rubbing against the blades of grass, and the chaotic footsteps, this could not be hidden in any way. Zhang Han and Han Tan hid in place, their eyes fixed on the city in the distance, observing the movements of the defenders at any time, praying that they would not find out.

Seeing that the soldiers were getting closer and closer, and there was still no movement on the city wall, Zhang Han secretly said that it was a fluke, thanks to the rebels defending the city who were not vigilant, otherwise, I am afraid that if I didn't touch the city, my sneak attack would have to be recognized, and the difficulty of the sneak attack was undoubtedly much smaller than the frontal attack on the city.

At least until now, everything had developed according to their own ideas, and after a few moments, the soldiers at the front had reached the bottom of the walls of Chencang, pulled out ropes and things to climb up.

Thinking that Chencang is just a small county, how high can the city wall be? Moreover, the city wall of Chencang was made of earth and stone, and it could not be compared with a place like Xianyang City, so the soldiers did not spend much effort to throw the hook and lock onto the city wall, and then began to climb one after another.

Watching the soldiers of Yunyang County climb the city wall, the soldiers from the rest of the counties below couldn't help but sweat for them.

This is the most critical time, if you wait for the forward to climb the city, then the initiative will be on your side, when it comes to frontal battles, how can the rebels defeat their own regular army.

But if you can't get to the wall before the defenders find out, the situation will inevitably turn completely into a disadvantage.

Because of the hasty assembly, and in order to achieve the effect of a surprise attack, the soldiers under Zhang Han were all lightly armed. The soldiers of the city had neither siege weapons nor crossbows. Once the battlefield could not be extended to the city walls, the enemy in the city fired thousands of arrows, and the army below could only be beaten passively, without the slightest power to fight back.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Han's mood at the moment is extremely nervous, and victory or defeat depends on this move.

Just when everyone was looking forward to it with great anxiety, the vanguard soldiers cautiously and slowly climbed up. Seeing them getting closer and closer to the city, the big stone in Zhang Han's heart finally fell to the ground, it seems that this time it is really God's help.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

Suddenly, just as everyone was breathing a sigh of relief, a sharp shout suddenly came from the city wall.

As the so-called fear of something, the soldiers at the front had already put their hands on the city wall, and they were about to jump up, and at this juncture, they were discovered by the enemy!

This time was really beyond everyone's expectations, hearing the warning of the defenders, everyone present couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, not finding out sooner, not finding out late, why is it at this time, everyone's heart that has just been put down is raised again.

Like everyone else, Zhang Han, who was lying in the crowd, was also stunned for a moment, but he woke up immediately, and his eyes immediately turned red. He jumped up from the ground and shouted with a wave of his big hand: "Charge!" Charge! ”

"Kill!" "Kill!"

In this moment, the soldiers had already reacted, and before Zhang Han's words fell, a deafening sound of fighting immediately came from his side. Now that it has been discovered, there is no need to hide anything, thousands of people and horses jumped up one after another, like a tide, surging towards Chencang County.

At the same time, the soldiers of Yunyang County, who were climbing, were also desperate to climb up, and the first to go up was already holding weapons and fighting with the rebels who reacted.

"Don't panic, the armies! Not many of the enemies came up, and we held the city walls, and we were able to resist them. ”

A general in full armor stood on the tower, screaming loudly, directing the chaotic rebels to meet the enemy.

This person should be a general under Fan Xu, with some combat experience, and he was not afraid of danger at this time, but let the panicked Chen Cang rebels gather and fight against the soldiers who climbed up to the city.

Zhang Han stood in place, his eyes staring at the battle situation tightly, his eyes did not dare to take his eyes away, his side was empty at this moment, except for Han Tan and a few guards, everyone rushed forward.

Seeing that the rebels at the head of the city reacted and organized an effective counterattack, Zhang Han's heart couldn't help but sink. He knew very well that his army had traveled a long way, and at the moment it was only fighting with a momentum, and he had to take Chen Cang in one go.

If this first wave of impact is repulsed, it will be difficult to go up again, and if the stalemate in Chencang continues, he will definitely be dragged into the quagmire of war.

More and more soldiers climbed to the top of the city, and more and more enemies appeared in everyone's field of vision, and on the city wall, two groups of people engaged in a bloody battle.

Some of the soldiers, in a fit of anxiety, fell from the rope and let out a terrible cry, while the rest of the soldiers had no time to take their place and immediately took his place and climbed upward.

Some of the soldiers, who had just climbed to the top of the city, had already been cut down by the rebels who met them before they could draw their weapons.

However, compared with Zhang Han's army, the casualties of the rebels were not few, and their combat effectiveness was obviously not on the same level as the regular army, and it was only by relying on the numerical advantage that the situation could be stabilized.

All of a sudden, the flesh and blood were flying above the city, and neither army could afford to lose, so they fought together without their lives.

In addition to the rebels facing the front, defenders also appeared at various battlements on the city wall, and countless arrows rained down on the army below the city, causing great casualties.

When Zhang Han saw this scene, he couldn't help but be anxious, if he couldn't open the gate, the soldiers under the city couldn't get to him, and he could only be a live target for the enemy. The most important thing in this battle is whether the Yunyang soldiers who climbed first can gain a firm foothold and seize control of the city gate.

Han Tan and the others who were standing beside him naturally understood the situation, and several of them couldn't help but clench their fists. All hope is pinned on the striker, if the situation is not opened for a long time, it will become more and more dangerous to drag it on.

Although Zhang Han and the others had ardent expectations, there were only a few soldiers who initially climbed to the top of the city, and most of them had fallen under the siege of a large number of defenders.

As more and more defenders poured in, the scene had come to an end, and the battlefield that had just been opened up at the head of the city was getting smaller and smaller, and the sergeants who had finally climbed up to the top of the city were about to be forced off the city wall.

This scene made Zhang Han and the others' hearts pinch up, and they finally caught the enemy's omission, touched the city wall, and saw that success was in front of them, if they were driven out of the city again, how could everyone accept it.

But it's a pity that most of the things backfired, and under Zhang Han's almost pleading gaze, there were fewer and fewer people in the city, and it seemed that they couldn't support it.

"That's it, that's it." Zhang Han's face was full of bitterness, he didn't expect that the plan would last so long, and in the end it would fall short.

At this moment, he thought a lot in his heart, but he didn't seem to think about anything, so he could only sigh in vain.

"King, King, look!"

Just as Zhang Han lowered his head and sighed, Han Tan, who had been silent, suddenly shouted loudly.

Zhang Han didn't know why, so he hurriedly looked up at the city, but saw that the scene had taken a turn, and his own already precarious situation had miraculously moved back.

And the person who changed all this was the Yunyang County Lieutenant who had asked Zhang Han to fight before, only to see him like a mad demon, rushing left and right with a sword, and he forced a hole in the rebels' defense line.

Seeing that the main general was so desperate, the morale of the Yunyang soldiers was suddenly greatly boosted, and the soldiers rushed forward one after another without fear of death, using their own flesh and blood to kill a way out for their later comrades.

How can the will of the rebels be compared to the regular army, just now it is okay to fight more and less, but once they fall into a battle to the death, everyone becomes panicked, and even their legs are weak, and they almost want to turn around and flee.

With the first man fleeing, a second man followed, and finally, in the desperate struggle of the great army, the defenders completely collapsed,

As the enemy army was defeated, the soldiers became more and more courageous, and more and more people rushed to the city. Gradually, the battlefield advanced from the head of the city to the tower, and then to the gate of the city.

"Squeak-quack-"

Finally, with a creak, the gate of Chencang County was finally opened from the inside, and the army shouted in unison and rushed in from the main gate.

Chencang County is finally broken!
