The starry night is over.

Located in the upper county town at the confluence of the two rivers of Luyanshui and Pingshui, the lights are brilliant and the figures are abundant.

The city of three miles and the Guo of seven miles were surrounded by an army of 100,000 and could not be overcome. The siege of the city shall be doubled, the destruction of the city shall be more than three times, and the loss of the city shall be seven times. More than ninety percent of the wars are fought in battles of attack and defense of cities. Traditionally, to breach a city, it is necessary to have at least a number of defenders to successfully besiege the city. To break the city, it is necessary to have at least three times as many defenders, and even if it encounters a strong city, it must have at least seven times the strength of the defenders before it can be captured.

Shangxian, the county seat of Diaoyin, according to intelligence, there are 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and even Chen Pojun, the emperor of the Chen Dynasty, is in the city. Although Shangxian Chengchi has been damaged for a long time after several battles, the 50,000 defenders in the city alone can make ordinary enemies retreat.

However, Xue Rengao is very human, not only did he not flinch, but recognized this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If the thief captures the king, if Chen Pojun can be taken, then the Xue family can force the Chen army to withdraw from Longyou, and Daqin dominates Longshang, and then swoops down with the momentum of Longshang's victory and attacks Guanzhong.

"Drums! Get ready to attack! ”

It was already two o'clock in the evening, and the Qin army had already rested for half a day and had dinner. The time arranged by Xue Rengao was very coincidental, at this time, it was the middle of the night. It was dark, and many of Chen Jun's bow and crossbow firearms were out of sight, and there was a lot less stake.

Due to the unique topography of Upper Prefecture. To the north and west of it are rivers to the north. Therefore, there are only two gates in the upper county seat, one in the east and one in the south. Xue Rengao's soldiers were stationed at the south gate, but only 5,000 light cavalry were sent to garrison outside the east gate. I was not worried that the Chen army would break through to the north, but I was expecting the city to abandon the city and break through to the north, and in the north, the three cities of Rulin had all fallen into the hands of the Qin army.

However, Chen Jun was unmoved, as if he was ready to confront.

"Siege!"

Chen Jun was consumed, but Xue Rengao was unwilling to consume. Today's Guanlong, the Three Kingdoms are vying for hegemony, once they are entangled with Chen Jun here. Then it is very likely that the Yuwen clan will take the opportunity to attack Xiao Guan, and even take advantage of the victory to send troops to Longyou.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.

Xue Rengao did not hesitate. Seeing that the soldiers had eaten enough, they immediately gave the order to attack.

The whole army pressed up, 11,000 foot soldiers carried simple ladders, held shields, and carried scimitars to rush forward, and 5,000 cavalry behind dismounted far away to shoot arrows to assist.

Ten thousand arrows were fired in an instant, and arrows rained down.

The brothers Xue Huaiyi and Xue Huailiang even took off their heavy armor, personally held the shield and short knife to take the lead, and climbed the ladder as soon as possible.

Rows and rows of dense archers appeared on the top of the city, and arrows rained down on the Qin army who risked death to climb.

But the offensive of the Qin army did not stop for half a minute. The war drums in the back rumbled, the horns sounded, and more Qin soldiers roared and charged towards the city wall, and countless soldiers and horses let out a tsunami-like cry together, and then swooped down on the city. The attack began, and the soldiers guarding it felt at once, and the entire city wall and the earth trembled, and even those veterans who had been in a hundred battles had never seen such a ferocious attack.

Hundreds of high climbing ladders approached the city, and the siege vehicles that were swinging all the way were caught in the flow of people, slowly approaching.

More than 10,000 soldiers and horses gathered in the small southern city of Shangxian County, so many soldiers and horses. It was crowded with empty workers under the South City Gate, they were side by side, the front row and the back row were next to each other, and it was hard to breathe.

The soldiers and horses under the city were so dense that the archers of Chen's army at the head of the city didn't even need to aim. Just shoot all over the sky, row after row of archers take turns to shoot intensively. Thousands of strong bows kept "squeaking" into a full moon, and the arrows poured down on the heads of the Qin army like a continuous torrential rain.

The wide moat that brought in living water from the Luyan River had already been filled with the corpses of countless Qin soldiers. Countless Longyou disciples fell to the ground with arrows, died under the bow and arrow, and their corpses formed a small hill, but they continued to advance, rushing across the moat and rushing under the city walls.

In such a fierce siege battle, Xue Rengao had no conservative intentions, facing an opponent like Chen Pojun in the city. Xue Rengao immediately transferred his Longyou cavalry up, and the cavalry had already dismounted, lined up in a neat array, constantly opening their bows and shooting, and slowly advancing.

Stepping on the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, the first batch of Qin infantry finally landed on the top of the city, and the Chen army defending the city did not give an inch and stubbornly resisted to the death.

The two sides started a white-knuckle battle, the fierce fighting began, from here to there, countless sharp weapons were slashing and killing, the two sides gritted their teeth, bleeding and bleeding, there were swords and swords everywhere, and the human body on the head of the city was soon also fortified, and the two sides stepped on the human body of the wounded and the dead to continue to fight, and the screams continued one after another.

Soon, Xue Huaiyi led a detachment of the Qin Army's Iron Eagle Swordsman Battalion to support, the Qin Army's elite army joined, and suddenly achieved an instantaneous advantage, morale was booming, there was an Iron Eagle Swordsman even cut down several Chen soldiers with a sword, and captured a Chen army flag on the city, he excitedly held it high to show the compatriots under the city, and the Qin army under the city burst into earth-shattering cheers: "Long live", for a while, everyone felt that the city was broken in front of them, and they were very excited!

At this time, Xue Huailiang also jumped onto the city wall with a Western Liangqiang corps. Unstoppable all the way, a small break of the city wall was quickly emptied, and Xue Huailiang even killed a Chen Army officer with a sword and captured a battalion flag.

More Xiliang soldiers began to hold hook-inlaid shields in one hand and scimitars in the other, forming a neat shield array, and suddenly began to squeeze the Chen army on the city outward. The tall soldiers in the Qin army, who were constantly leaping up, began to carry maces and battle axes, and immediately destroyed and cleaned up the heavy equipment such as bed crossbows, Fuyuan crossbows, and stone throwing carts in the city.

The heavy equipment was constantly destroyed, and the suppression of these big guys was lost, and the Qin army archers under the city attacked more and more fiercely, and they had begun to suppress the defenders in the city. More and more Qin troops took the opportunity to jump onto the city, and the sound of slashing and killing was everywhere, and blood flowed like a river.

Meantime. Zhang Gongjin, the defender of the Chen army, led a regiment of hundreds of soldiers to launch a counter-charge. A single sword split the Qin soldier in half and recaptured the lost flag. But soon collided with Xue Huaiyi's Iron Eagle swordsmen, and after a fierce and tragic fight, in less than a quarter of an hour, Zhang Gongjin had to retreat with only half of the regiment's subordinates who were damaged, and was driven off the city wall.

At this time, the car that was slowly climbing the city finally approached the city gate.

The hideous dragon head with thick iron armor on the battering ram, pushed by dozens of sergeants, slammed into the same iron-clad city gate.

Bang!

It was like the earth shook like a mountain, and the gates of the city shook violently. The ground shook even under the soldiers' feet, and then there were several successive strikes, and several cracks had appeared in the city gates.

In the distance, under the black curtain of the Qin army. Look at the fierce battle of the city. Xue Rengao's face was solemn.

The herald ordered the cavalry to gallop forward.

"General Xue Huaiyi rushed up with the Iron Eagle Swordsman Battalion!"

"General Xue Huailiang rushed up with the Xiliangfan barracks!"

"The archer battalion has been pushed under the walls!"

One news after another came back, and it was all good news.

However, so much good news came back, but it did not make Xue Rengao excited, but made him feel a little puzzled. Since the city is a 50,000 reinforcement led by Chen Ke's relatives, how can it be so unbeaten? Although the attack and defense at the head of the city were extremely fierce, it was obvious that the Chen army was at a disadvantage, what was going on?

Is there a deception in it?

"The gates are broken!" At this moment, a loud roar sounded, and in the midst of the rising firelight, the south gate of the city gate had been pierced by a huge battering ram. The whole crashed into the city. Xue Rengao's face changed, and before he could speak, the horn of the charge had already sounded in the direction of the city gate.

He saw from a distance that the two brothers, Xue Huaiyi and Xue Huailiang, were covered in blood, waving long swords in their hands, roaring passionately, and directing the soldiers to rush into the city.

Countless Qin troops roared excitedly, rushing towards the city. Xue Rengao's heart was beating wildly, and he wanted to stop all this, but it was too late. At this time, the Qin army was so excited that they couldn't give orders. They all rushed to the city.

Xue Rengao also had a sober mind and told him that there was definitely something wrong with breaking through the city gate so easily. But the fanatical soldiers have entered a state of madness, and everyone is thinking about the reward for attacking the city, and the golden taels for taking down Chen Pojun. The reward of the marquis of ten thousand households.

Xue Rengao felt that he was already like a tiger at this time, and gritted his teeth and watched for a while. He finally couldn't help but order: "Enter the city!" "At this time, there is no other way but to enter the city.

Even if Chen Pojun was deceitful, more than half of the Qin army had already rushed into the city, and if he didn't enter the city, then those who entered the city wouldn't want to come out. Since this is the case, then the only way to rush into the city may be to defeat the Chen army in one fell swoop.

At this time, the five thousand cavalry had stopped shooting arrows, turned on their horses again, and followed Xue Rengao into the city along the bloody road full of stumps and broken arms.

Messy, bloody.

The city was already in complete chaos, and it was full of excited Qin soldiers running around. They smashed the door of the house and robbed the store when they saw it. However, the fanatical soldiers of the Qin army did not notice that it was difficult to see a single Chen army soldier in this chaotic city, let alone a team of Chen soldiers.

As soon as Xue Rengao entered the city, he suddenly found that there was a fire in the east of the city in the distance, and it burned so brightly in this dark night.

"What's going on, who's setting fire to the city!" Xue Rengao was furious.

"Oh no, Dongcheng is on fire."

"The North City is also on fire."

"Xicheng is also on fire!"

"Oh no, the county seat is burning the city!" Xue Huailiang hurriedly came with dozens of subordinates.

Raise your eyes, from north to south is already a sea of fire, and the fire is constantly spreading, the night wind in Longshang is wild and strong, the wind helps the fire, the tongue of fire spit out, and the fire immediately starts when it touches! And it's not burning slowly, it's burning wildly!

The wind howled, the fire danced wildly, the horses scurried in the wind and fire, the soldiers took refuge in all directions, and in just a moment, the whole Shangxian city seemed to be on fire.

Xue Rengao looked back, but saw the south gate behind him, and at this time, it had already begun to burst into flames.

"Oh no, I've been tricked." Xue Rengao's heart turned, and he had already seen the reason behind the fire. Damn, this fire was not set by Qin Jun, but by Chen Jun. At first, they all thought that it was set by those Qin soldiers in the middle city, but they didn't expect that it would be the Chen army setting fire. And looking at the momentum of this fire, not only did Chen Jun set the fire, but also had already arranged the things to support the combustion, otherwise it would not have been possible to start so quickly and so violently.

"Get out of the city now!" Xue Rengao roared on his horse, like thunder.

It's just that it's a little late at this time, and most of the buildings in the entire Shangxian town have already been splashed with oil. Not only were vegetable oil and other materials poured on the houses, but even hidden ditches were dug under the two city gates, along the city wall, and under the main streets of the city, and a lot of black fire oil was poured down. In order to kill Xue Rengao, Chen Jun can be regarded as cunning.

Long before Xue Rengao arrived, the entire Shangxian was only a 5,000-strong garrison led by Zhang Gongjin. The city was full of flags, mostly bluffing. In the first round of siege, Zhang Gongjin transferred all the defenders to the city to defend, using bows and arrows and ballistas, and also fought well, attracting the entire Qin army, but no one immediately saw through it. Subsequently, Chen Jun began to retreat in an orderly manner, withdrawing from the city little by little, and retreating outside the city along the secret road that had been left earlier.

In the end, when the Qin army thought that they had captured Shangxian and poured into the city, Shangxian began to catch fire in all directions.

Burning Shangxian County, such a ruthless strategy was something Xue Rengao never expected.

"Withdraw! Here's a trap! Remove! ”

It's just that by this point, it's too late to retreat.

Xue Rengao was in a hurry to give the order to retreat, but suddenly heard a burst of whining horns from the wind.

A cavalryman quickly reported: "A large army suddenly appeared in the eastern direction, and the five thousand light cavalry outside the eastern city have already engaged in battle!" ”

The sudden appearance of Chen Jun in the east is definitely not good news. Xue Rengao was frightened, there were originally 50,000 Chen troops in the city, but now all the Chen troops in the city are gone, but a troop of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in the east of the city, which is definitely not a coincidence. Chen Pojun has already set up an ambush and wants to kill me here. I'm afraid that he divided his troops and sent them to Dabin and Yanfu before, and the soldiers and horses in the three cities of Chengping have already ended.

"Rush out, rush out!"

Woowoo————

At this time, a series of horns sounded in the south.

Woowoo————

Almost at the same time, the trumpet was already sounding in the west.

Shangxian has already built an erupting volcano, Zhurong is raging, and the wind and fire are burning the plains.

Xue Rengao personally led the guard battalion to guard the south gate of the city gate, commanding the soldiers to rush out of the city. However, those who did not obey the order and rushed out of the city immediately waved their swords and killed them, and finally did not cause a tragic incident of blocking the city gate. When Xue Rengao rushed out of Shangxian County with the last batch of guard battalions, the entire Shangxian County was shouting in the wind and fire, and the rising fire almost illuminated the entire heaven and earth.

"Your Highness, look!" Xue Huailiang, whose face was scorched and even half of his eyebrows were burned, pointed to the distance and shouted.

Xue Rengao looked up, only to see that he didn't know when, four armies appeared on the plains near Shangxian. There is an army in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and there are no less than 10,000 people. Especially the army in the north that had just bypassed the burning city, in the midst of the raging fire, there was a big banner in the middle of the five-clawed Ming Yellow Panlong flag, and a huge Chen Zi flag on the side. Even in that firelight, the leader of the banner was the appearance of Chen Pojun, but what was a little surprising was that on his side, a general was very similar to Chang Zhongxing, the general of Western Qin, who should have been stationed in Yulin at this time.

"Often rebel against my Great Qin!" Xue Rengao roared angrily, but a mouthful of blood had already been spit out of his mouth, and then the whole person fell to the sky ......)
