The one hundred and twenty medium-sized trebuchets on the head of the southern city creaked apart at the same time, three zhang high, six zhang long, and the stone can be thrown up to 300 paces away.

More than 100 black trebuchets stood at the head of the city, like more than 100 giant soldiers, dozens of pounds of boulders were put into the bomb pockets, and more than a dozen soldiers pushed the winch irons, the hinges were tightened, waiting for the order to launch.

On both sides of the city wall, four thousand soldiers held longbows and arrows, and two feet long hardwood heavy arrows had been set on the bowstrings, the sharp tips of the arrows were streamlined, and there were bloodletting grooves on the four sides, and the arrows were coldly aimed at the thief soldiers who were killing overwhelmingly.

The enemy had gradually entered the range of the trebuchet, and Luo Shixin gave the order to shoot, and he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Shoot! ”

The red flag was waved, and the army struggled, only to see the long arms of one hundred and twenty giant soldiers waving out, and one hundred and twenty boulders rose into the air and smashed towards the city.

Looking up from the city, I saw more than 100 small black dots in the sky, like a flock of geese skimming the sky, but the small black dots became bigger and bigger, and instantly turned into a boulder rolling in the sky, smashing towards their heads.

The team shouted, and the soldiers dodged in both directions, but the dense boulders still made it impossible for countless soldiers to dodge, and they screamed and fell to the ground with their heads in their hands.

The boulder fell, 'Bang! With a loud bang, the dust flew, dozens of soldiers couldn't dodge, and were smashed into meat sauce by the boulder, and the boulder continued to roll forward, knocking over hundreds of people in a row before stopping.

A boulder hit the battering ram, the battering ram fell to the ground, and the soldiers on both sides crawled and fled for their lives, but the stone was rebounded by the giant tree, and it popped forward more than ten steps, rushing into the crowd, and a miserable scream sounded.

．．．．．．．．．

The second round of trebuchets was fired again, and the thieves were killed and wounded again, followed by the third round of trebuchets fired......

In just five rounds of attacks, the trebuchets of the Sui army brought nearly 1,000 casualties to the thief army, and the thief soldiers were terrified. They all turned around and fled, like the tide receding.

Zhang Jin said that he was furious, and personally led 500 swords and axes to rush up to the battle, and they killed more than 100 soldiers who fled. Forced the soldiers to re-attack.

At this time, the thief soldiers threw in another 3,000 men, carrying dozens of improvised siege ladders that had just been made and rushed towards the city.

The drums of the war under the city were beating faster and faster, and the drums were earth-shattering, and more than 6,000 thieves and soldiers were forced to run and rush towards the city.

Arrows rained down like a storm at the head of the city. A large number of thieves were shot down, and the cries and screams resounded throughout the battlefield, and the thieves and soldiers were defeated again and again, and again and again they were forcibly driven forward, and they were forced to attack the city like livestock.

The moat froze so hard that it lost its obstructive function, and one after another attack ladders crossed the moat and landed on the city walls, and thousands of thieves and soldiers climbed up the ladder like ant colonies, climbing ladders with one hand. Holding a shield in one hand, he bites a horizontal knife in his mouth and struggles to climb upward.

Arrows rained down on the city's heads, stones and logs fell like hailstones, and soldiers were hit and shot, and fell down the city screaming......

Zhang Xuan watched expressionlessly as the thief army under the city attacked the city, he had already received the news of the scout, the thief army's heart had collapsed, and a large number of thieves fled.

In fact, there is no need to scout intelligence, the battlefield in front of you speaks for itself. Thousands of thieves and soldiers were forcibly driven and attacked by hundreds of swordsmen and axemen, defeated again and again, and driven forward again and again.

Those hundreds of swordsmen and axes were the key to the entire battlefield, and Zhang Xuan knew that the time was ripe. Then he turned around and ordered: "Beat the heaven-shaking drum!" ”

'Knock-knock-knock! ’

The earth-shattering drums beat one after another at the top of the city, the drums were slow but rhythmic, and this was the order for the ambush to attack.

Then a low sound of antlers blew in the distance, and "woo-" echoed the sound of the drums.

I saw that a cavalry force suddenly came out of the woods in the northeast direction, with five hundred men. The leader of the general is Pei Xingyan, who is holding a sledgehammer, and these 500 cavalry only returned from Beihai County last night, and Zhang Xuan deployed them in the woods, led by Pei Xingyan, as a surprise attack.

Five hundred cavalry slaughtered into the ranks of more than 1,000 reserve thieves like a strong wind, this is Zhang Jincheng's personal guard, there are 1,500 people, they did not enter the battle, but followed behind the knife and axe men to protect Zhang Jincheng.

The thieves were killed so that people turned on their backs, and suddenly there was a big chaos, Pei Xingyan rushed to kill with a sledgehammer in the hand of the knife and axe, and the double hammer flew over, and the brains of the knife and axe were shattered, and the corpses were all over the ground.

Zhang Jin said that seeing that the situation was not good, he turned around and urged the horse to flee to the west, only following dozens of soldiers around him, just escaped hundreds of steps, and killed a Sui army from outside the west city, headed by the general silver helmet and iron armor, the treasure flame beast under the crotch, and the Ziyang two-wheeled halberd in his hand, it was Zhang Xuan, the chief general of the Sui army who had just been killed from the west gate.

Zhang Xuan had already stared at Zhang Jin, how could he allow him to escape again, and a thousand Sui soldiers quickly divided into a fan shape and surrounded the thieves.

Zhang Xuan sneered and said, "Zhang Jin said, I came to settle the old accounts of Qinghe County with you!" ”

Zhang Jin said that he knew that it was difficult to escape, so he yelled, urged the horse to gallop, and stabbed Zhang Xuan head-on with his spear.

Zhang Xuan shouted, swung his halberd and slammed into the opponent's iron spear, only to hear 'dang! With a loud bang, the iron spear was shocked and flew out, Zhang Jincheng shouted, turned his horse and fled, but was pierced by Zhang Xuan's halberd in the back shoulder and picked off the horse.

Zhang Xuan shouted left and right: "Tie him up!" ”

More than a dozen soldiers rushed up and pressed Zhang Jincheng to the ground and tied him firmly, and Zhang Jincheng shouted: "Zhang Xuan, there is a kind of knife that kills me!" ”

Zhang Xuan sneered, "I won't kill you, I will hand you over to the people of Qinghe County to deal with, and see if they spare you!" ”

Zhang Jin said that all thoughts were ashes, and he couldn't help but sigh and close his eyes.

Dozens of personal soldiers saw that the lord was captured, and they knelt down and surrendered, but they were all killed by the Sui soldiers who drew their swords and killed them all.

Zhang Jin said that he was captured alive, and the thieves who were besieging the city completely collapsed, and they withdrew from the battlefield and surrendered on their knees, only some of the thief soldiers knew their guilt and did not dare to surrender, and fled to the wilderness.

But after all, there are only a few thieves who have escaped, and everyone knows in their hearts that without food, there is only one way to starve to death in the wilderness, and there may be a chance to surrender.

At the beginning of the eleventh year of the Great Cause, after more than half a month of bloody battles, the Sui general Zhang Xuan led 7,000 elite Sui troops to finally defeat Zhang Jincheng, who had an army of 80,000, and captured Zhang Jincheng alive.

．．．．．．

At the same time, the fierce battle between Zhang Xutuo and the Wagang army in Jibei County also reached the last moment, and the Wagang army was defeated in three battles.

It was a late winter night, the sky was covered with dark purple clouds, but there was no snow, the snow on the ground had been trampled and muddy, and a Sui army marched silently, only occasionally the faint sound of the hooves of the war horses could be heard, and it was forbidden to talk loudly, not to use fire, and to try not to let the horses neigh.

The 2,000 Sui army marched rapidly on the trail north of Fan County, the sky was dark and heavy, and suddenly a misty drizzle was drifting, mixed with snowflakes.

There were still about ten miles away from the Wagang Army camp, Zhang Xutuo's war horse suddenly stopped, and several scouts who had been lying in ambush near the Wagang Army camp were brought over.

They hurried back to report the latest situation, but they happened to encounter a large army on the way, and this afternoon, the 15,000 Wagang army had already marched to Shouzhang County, and only about 3,000 men were left in the entire camp to guard their food baggage.

Qin Qiong and You Junda led 8,000 people to confront the Wagang Army in Shouzhang County, while Zhang Xutuo led 2,000 light troops to attack the logistics of the Wagang Army.

"Speed up and get rid of everything that is superfluous and has nothing to do with the war."

Zhang Xutuo gave an order, and the soldiers of the Sui army threw away the spear sheaths, blankets, and pots they carried with them, and accelerated the pace of the march, like a long black arrow, shooting straight towards the Wagang camp ten miles away, without hesitation, without hesitation, the sword has been unsheathed, and the arrow has been wound.

The army ran in the vast rain and fog, rushing south like a flood of broken banks.

Ten miles away, for the soldiers who ran all the way, it was in a blink of an eye, and the large camp of the Wagang army appeared in front of the Sui army.

The big tent was set up on a high place, there was no shield around it, the figure of the Sui army could not be concealed, and the sentries of the Wagang army also found out about the situation, and they shouted and ran lifeless towards the camp.

"Kill it, don't leave a piece of armor!"

Zhang Xutuo pointed at his sword, and two thousand Sui troops rushed past him like a huge wave, roaring towards the Wagang camp, and the army swept across the field, and the horn sounded loudly.
