Chapter 229: The City Breaks

The drums rumbled, the horns whimpered, tens of thousands of Xiliang troops surrounded Zhiyang City, in the middle of the Xiliang army, more than a dozen catapults lined up, piled up with rocks of different sizes, the big ones were like millstones, the small ones were like pumpkins, all of them were placed in the throwing bucket, ready to go.

Ma Teng stood on a high place, staring at Han Suijun, who was forming a formation to defend against the enemy in the city, and immediately drew the sword at his waist, pointed at Zhiyang City and roared: "Go to war, start a war for me!" ”

With Ma Teng's order, the 30,000 main army soldiers divided into four routes and began to launch a ferocious attack on Zhiyang from all directions.

However, the soldiers did not arrive at the city, the catapult displayed in the formation took the lead in attacking, countless rocks smashed into the city wall like meteors, and the huge stones carried the sound of the wind, smashed the Han Sui army on the city wall to the back of the horse, and killed hundreds of people in a moment.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Even though some of the boulders with too slow strength did not smash into Zhiyang City, they slammed into the city wall, and in an instant, the stone chips scattered, and the heavenly maiden scattered flowers, branding a white mark on the city wall, and those Han Suijun who were hiding under the female wall only felt a shock in his back, and then his head seemed to be hit on the head, and his head buzzed.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

Some boulders with too much strength flew over the city wall like meteors, and instantly smashed into the Han Sui soldiers who were on standby in the city, and those Han Sui soldiers only felt that the top of their heads was shrouded in a huge black shadow, and they looked up at the moment, accompanied by a heart-rending roar, those unfortunate soldiers were instantly smashed into the city's flesh and mud, and the flesh and blood were blurred, but whenever a soldier retreated because of fear, the general in charge of supervision immediately drew his sword and slashed wildly, and immediately cut down.

"Don't go back. Stand firm for me, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless! A hundred members of Han Sui's army were standing with their swords and supervising the soldiers who were huddled in a ball, and at this moment, a stone the size of an egg shot at his head at a gallop, and the hundred people did not have time to react. The head was smashed in an instant, and the soldiers who were blocked by him shouted in fear and dispersed in a hurry, and the other commanders and commanders couldn't stop them at all, but some of them fled in the crowd.

Zhou Tai immediately felt that the guards had basically been smashed by the boulder, and immediately waved the sword: "Kill,"

With Zhou Tai's order, tens of thousands of soldiers struggled to push the chariots and siege cones under the cover of sword and shield soldiers to rush to kill Zhiyang City.

When the soldiers on the city wall reacted. Zhou Tai had already led the army less than a hundred steps away from the moat, and at the moment hurriedly picked up his bow and arrows, and shot at the Xiliang army under the city, they didn't even have to deliberately aim, they opened their bows and shot, one after another carved arrows were like a hornet's nest that had been pierced, dense, and poured down with a piercing sound of breaking the sky. Some of the Xiliang troops who were outside the protection of the sword and shield soldiers were shot to the ground in an instant, and even those who were not shot to death were trampled blue by the robes that followed later. In an instant, he lost his life.

"Build a pontoon bridge, build a ladder, attack the city with all your might, and be sure to break through the Zhiyang City Gate before dark!" Zhou Tai hung the broadsword on the saddle, carried the shield and galloped back and forth on this side of the moat, loudly urging the Xiliang army to wade across the moat. Carrying the ladder to the head of the city, launched the most ferocious attack.

Although Zhou Tai is usually reckless, he is not a brave and unscrupulous reckless man, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, if he behaves too conspicuously, I am afraid he will have to become the focus of the enemy's care. And what Han Sui said today also has some truth, in Xiliang, there can only be one master, that is Lu Bu, this Ma Teng will become Lu Bu's enemy sooner or later.

If he led the Bingzhou army, he would not frown, and he would lead the troops, but now he is leading the Xiliang army, so he will not rush to the front, but command Ma Teng's main army to attack forward, and wait until the strength of the defenders on the head of the city is almost exhausted, and when the defenders are sluggish and the defensive equipment such as arrows, fire oil, and rolling stones are gradually scarce, he will be able to spend the least effort and achieve the best results.

"Rush me, and those who retreat die!"

Zhou Tai was supervising the sergeants to move earth and stones, fill in the trenches, and the arrows on the city were like arrows, and when he saw that two generals were afraid to return, Zhou Tai immediately drew his sword and rushed forward.

The cold light flashed, and the two heads suddenly rolled to the ground, gurgling and rolling into the moat, Zhou Tai saw that it was not a way to go on like this, so he immediately turned over and dismounted, and when he came to the moat, he took the soil and filled the pit.

Although the surrounding Xiliang army did not know Zhou Tai's name, but knew that he was the main general sent by Ma Teng to command them, seeing that the main general was so desperate, all the big and small soldiers marched forward bravely, and the military power was shocked, two hours later, under the strong supervision of Zhou Tai, the Xiliang army mustered up courage, and filled the moat in one breath, and then quickly took the wooden pontoon bridge, escorted the chariot and siege cone to the city.

"Hold it off for me!"

At the head of the city, a full-fledged lieutenant waved the sword in his hand, and urged Han Sui's army to defend the city with all his might.

"Bang, bang, bang," the sound continued to sound on the city tower, the captain turned his head to look, only to see that there were already several ladders erected on the battlements, the ladders swayed on the city wall, as if the Xiliang army began to climb and attack the city.

The lieutenant immediately rushed to the women's wall, stretched out his head to look down, and saw that on the ladder nearest to him, soldiers of the Xiliang Army were climbing one after another, like a handful of monkeys climbing trees, each staring at the shield, covering the arrows and rocks. Fight for the first place in the city.

Seeing that the Xiliang army was about to enter the city, the captain was in a hurry to swing his knife and slash, although the sawdust was flying, but he could not cut down the bamboo ladder in a short time, the captain gritted his teeth and roared, like an angry lion, stretched out his hands and struggled to lift the ladder backwards.

With a few frightened shouts, the Xiliang Army on the cloud ladder was like a cow lice that was shaken to the ground, with a lucky broken hand and short leg, and a lucky one picked up a life, and the unlucky one fell six or seven feet, fell seven holes and bled out, and died on the spot; What's even worse is that those soldiers who fell on the antlers and refused to resist the horse were directly pierced through the chest or abdomen, and they didn't even have time to scream!

Before the lieutenant could breathe a sigh of relief, a carved arrow came through the air, only to hear a "poof", the powerful arrow shot through the captain's forehead at once, and the remaining momentum was not eliminated, and the captain's bronze helmet was chiseled through, and the captain's eyes were glaring. It was like a earthen plane that was planted on the city wall, and became one of the dead bodies on the ground, crushed in the dense corpses;

"Sons, don't be afraid for a while, just kill me with me!"

An arrow shot down the captain at the head of the city, and Zhou Tai, who was already on the chariot, threw his bow and arrow to the soldiers. Carrying the dragon pattern sword, he beckoned the dozens of soldiers behind him to order,

"Yes!" The Xiliang army displayed inside the car waved his knife and shouted, like a vicious ghost who had just crawled out of hell, full of ghosts and murderous intent.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the wooden planks of the carriage slammed into the city, and Zhou Tai took the lead, waved his knife and went up, looking at the city wall that was only a foot away. Zhou Tai jumped with his knife and landed steadily on the city wall.

The surrounding Han Sui army was stunned for a moment, and then the spear slammed at Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai was not in a hurry, rolled on the spot, and swept the thousands of troops with a knife in his hand, and instantly killed those Han Sui soldiers to the ground, with a blood groove in the abdomen.

Zhou Tai casually picked up an iron gun. Swords and guns are used together, and dragons and tigers are stepping. Killing into the crowd, the Xiliang army behind him saw this, and their morale was shocked, and they all slashed and killed Han Sui's army with the momentum of a tiger descending the mountain, and immediately beat Han Sui's army back.

"The enemy will go mad. Kaneshiro Hanzhi is here! ”

In the midst of the chaos, Han Sui's nephew saw Zhou Tai stabbing left and right, cutting and chopping his soldiers like vegetable melons, as if entering a no-man's land, and he didn't know that there was a sense of courage from the inside. Swing the knife and take Zhou Tai directly.

"The monkeys of the Xiliang Army will step aside for me and see how Grandpa and I kill this guy!" Zhou Tai laughed, pointing at Han Zhi who rushed over and scolding.

Han Zhi was furious, how could he have been looked down upon like this? With a roar of rage, he rushed up with a Pu knife, and slashed head-on with a knife on his head, the sword was tiger and tigery, and the momentum was extraordinary.

Zhou Tai snorted coldly disdainfully, dodged sideways, and Han Zhi missed with a knife and slashed heavily on the deck, rubbing sparks and flying stone chips.

Zhou Tai took the opportunity to pick up a gun and stab Han Zhi's throat, as fast as lightning and as fast as thunder.

Han Zhi had the heart to raise the knife to parry but it was too late, so he hurriedly dropped the Pu knife in a hurry, rolled on the spot, and dodged Zhou Tai's viper-like shot, but he couldn't be distracted, Zhou Tai had already pounced as if he was asking for his life, and with a "swish", the knife came with a cold light.

To say that this Han Zhi only has two brushes, when he saw Zhou Tai's knife coming, he hurriedly pulled out the ring knife on his waist to block, but he didn't expect this to be Zhou Tai's false knife, and after a while, he immediately completely exposed half of his body to Zhou Tai's gun, and the space was wide open.

"Shoot me!"

Zhou Tai roared, the spear in his left hand was rushed out with lightning speed, then Han Zhi's martial arts were mediocre, how to resist Zhou Tai's shot that was nine out of ten, only to hear a "poof", the spear pierced through Han Zhi's neck, and the red blood dripped to the ground along the spear, Zhou Tai waved his right hand, the knife flashed, and Han Zhi's head flew into the air with a "boom", and the cavity instantly gurgled with blood.

Zhou Tai picked up Han Zhi's head and threw it to the general on the side: "Whoever kills the most enemy soldiers, this head belongs to him!" ”

As soon as Zhou Tai's voice fell, he immediately exploded in the Xiliang army, this is worth it, this is the work of a general, which can make their official rank rise by several levels.

The general pinned the head to his waist and grinned at Zhou Tai: "General, this head belongs to me" After speaking, he rushed into the enemy group with his knife.

"Chen Ergou, I have always disagreed with you, I want this head!"

Suddenly, an angry rebuke broke out in the crowd, and a dignified tooth keeper pushed away the crowd, looked at Han Suijun with bared teeth, and rushed over with a horse chopping knife on his shoulder, a knife-sized horse chopping knife danced like a tiger and a tiger, and as soon as the knife went down, those Han Suijun fell to the ground like being cut wheat, and what was even worse was that he was split in half like firewood, which was simply miserable.

The rest of Han Suijun's will was finally polished cleanly, and then he ran away, only hating his father and mother for not having two more legs.

Hundreds of sentinels surrounded Zhiyang City to check the battle situation, and when they saw that Zhou Tai's side had broken through the city gate, they immediately waved the order flag in their hands and reported the battle situation to the flag soldiers not far away. ”

"Haha, Zhou Youping is really brave, pass my general's order, the rest of the soldiers and horses continue to attack, don't let Han Sui escape, the army will follow me to the east gate!"

As Ma Teng issued the military order, the soldiers who acted as reserves immediately turned their troops and slaughtered towards the east gate. (To be continued......)
