"Woo......"

First, there was a sound, and then, as if echoing, the sound of a long horn came from all directions, like a tidal wave, enveloping the lonely Juyong City.

Juyong City is sandwiched between Qingyi Water and Badaling, and the surrounding terrain is very gentle, and there is no danger at all. However, looking at it, the location of Juyong City is still very safe, there is Xiguan in the east, the Great Wall in the north, and these two lines of defense are there, so Juyong City can sit back and relax.

In fact, just look at the name, the original purpose of the construction of this city was not to build a permanent fortress to guard the border pass west of Youzhou, but it was more conducive to living. Because the land here is irrigated by abundant river water, and the mountains shelter the cold from the north, it is an ideal area for organizing reclamation.

If it weren't for the Hu people's successive years of entry into the Kou, and without the battle between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, this place would have been a paradise.

But there are not so many ifs in the world, starting from the first year of the first year of the first month, an unprecedented catastrophe befell the heads of the people of Juyong, shattering their dream of staying away from the hustle and bustle of the Central Plains.

At the beginning of the catastrophe, people only had anger and resentment in their hearts, and the strong resentment was not only aimed at Gongsun Zhan, who was besieging the city, but also Liu Yu in the city.

People have no intention of distinguishing between right and wrong between these two big figures, and if it is none of their business, they may still be interested in treating this public case as gossip and gossip after tea and dinner. But now, as the fish in the pond that were affected when the snipe and the clam were fighting, they could not have a good impression of either side.

Gongsun Zhan, who commanded the army to attack the city and brought the threat of death directly to everyone, was hateful, but what kind of good person was Liu Yu, who brought the disaster to Juyong City?

The legendary virtue of thrift and love for the people has never blown out of the Juyong Pass, but the harsh taxes have never been less, and the critical moment. This Liu envoy Jun even used his homeland as a shelter, and pulled his relatives to the city to block the arrows!

Whoever is grateful for such a person is a big joke.

Everyone only hoped that Liu Yu would end up as soon as possible, not because of emotional tendencies, but purely out of consideration to end the war as soon as possible. Counting on Liu Yu's hundreds of remnants to defeat Gongsun Zhan? Isn't that against the sky?

Anyway, Liu Yu's troops are limited, and it is impossible to keep an eye on every corner of the battlefield, and Gongsun Chan can break the city in a short time. It has nothing to do with it.

When Gongsun Chan entered the city, the performance of the mediocre people changed.

Although he still didn't have much of a good impression of Gongsun Zhan, he didn't curse the other party for bringing disaster to everyone, and his eyes were full of fear and uneasiness, but everyone mustered up courage. Take all your strength in the defense of the city.

Just as at this moment, the sound of trumpets from outside the city was like a signal, and in the ruins of the city, where the smoke and flames were around, people stood up one by one, and stepped over the corpses on the ground with firm steps. Pick up your weapons and rush to the crumbling walls.

The essence of this war is still unwarranted, but its nature has changed. It was the Hu people who attacked the city, and it was the Han army who defended the city, and everyone was not forced to go to the city wall as cannon fodder, but to protect their homeland.

The siege skills of the siegers are lackluster. As soon as they got close to the city walls, there were several rounds of upward fire. Arrows smashed down on the city. Patches of gravel and dirt splattered, and together with the blooming blood flowers, obscured the pale sun.

The stylized attack was naturally not difficult for the defenders to deal with, and the people who helped the battle quickly crouched behind the battlements and raised the shield made of the door panels of their own or other people's houses above their heads. The veterans of the Han army were even more adept, sticking their bodies behind the battlements to avoid arrows, and observing the enemy's movements through the battlements.

Soon, the besiegers found that this did not have much effect, and the cost of arrows was also very large, so as soon as the banner of the Chinese army changed, there were dead soldiers carrying rams and ladders to pounce on the city gates and walls.

The ladder was very rudimentary, the cyan bark had not been peeled off, and it was obviously made in a hurry, and the power of the ram was not strong, and if it hit too hard, it would fall apart. But the defenders did not dare to be careless, because the walls of Juyong City were also very low, and the gates were not much stronger than the ramshells.

Sharp arrows poked out of the arrow stacks, and the Han archers did not launch a volley, but fired a very targeted point.

Sharp arrows screeched towards the siege ranks, a few of them blocked by the twigs and shields covered with cowhides, and many more crossed the rudimentary shield formation, making waves in the crowd.

"Ahh A strong man dropped the ladder and clutched his chest tightly, he looked at the half-cut arrow shaft on his chest in disbelief, and wanted to pull it out, however, the power of carrying the ladder to run like a flight was quickly lost due to severe pain, so that he could not shake the arrow shaft in the slightest, and could only feel the feeling of the rapid passage of life, and staggered down.

When he was dying, he still whispered freely: "Cow...... Two! ”

Someone heard, but no one cared about their companions, and their feet sped up a little faster.

This is the first reward offered by Xianyu adults, whether it is to stay in Youzhou to be a Han person, or to escape to the outside of the Saiwai to be a Hu person, life must continue to live. If you can get this reward, you will have a guarantee for the future, how can you do it if you don't work hard?

The Han army's archery skills were accurate, and I saw that the ladders lost their balance, smashing the wrestlers carrying the ladders, and the ram stopped again and again, and the speed of progress was like a snail crawling. However, the dead soldiers ignored the casualties of their comrades, and rushed forward one after another, rushing to the city wall like a tidal wave. The feather arrow intercepted a few times and did not stop, and watched as the siege equipment made contact with the city wall.

"Throw the log!" Gongsun Zhan Huo Ran got up, waved his right arm that could still be used, and shouted loudly.

The soldiers defending the city lowered their bows, lifted the log from behind the battlements, and smashed down the ladder. A wail sounded one after another under the city, and the Zahu army that tried to climb the city and lift the ladder was smashed down one after another, and the offensive stalled.

After all, there were many people in the Zahu army, and after days of fierce fighting, they were accustomed to this tragic scene, and under the orders of the officers, they quickly reorganized the offensive.

Ascend to the siege first, no matter whether it is life or death, the family can be sent away in advance, escape from the hands of the murderous king of Wang Yan, and the promise of the adult is not discounted, as long as he is not a deserter. The family will be rewarded with the two cows, and they can take them with them on the road!

Whoever climbs the city wall also has a reward for five other sheep, and if it is the first one, the reward will be doubled!

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, not to mention that the enemy defending the city is already at the end of the strong crossbow, and it is in danger, who doesn't want to earn more credit? In case of luck, get the head of Gongsun Chan. The reward of 100 cows and 300 sheep can make people live comfortably for the rest of their lives, even in the bitter cold land outside the Saiwai.

With this in mind, the Zahu army rushed to the city wall one after another. Climb the ladder with a sword, and use a rudimentary shield or body to resist the rolling log.

"Pour water!" As if intent to extinguish the frenzy in the hearts of his enemies, after the rolling log lost its effect, Gongsun Chan shouted a strange-sounding order.

"...... Uproar"

However, when hundreds of people carried buckets and wooden basins, they leaned out of the city desperately; The slightly warm water emitted a rising white mist, and it poured down like a white practice. Even under the heavy reward, the brave men who are not afraid of arrows and rolling logs are all discolored.

Water, of course, has no lethal power. But it's winter! This is the northern frontier border fortress that drips into ice!

The heat was already dissipated in the air, and the water that was poured down cooled at a speed visible to the naked eye, taking away the heat from the body. But that's not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is that the ladder starts to slip. Because the water is freezing! It didn't freeze hard all at once, but it was slippery and cold. But it can make even the bravest people shudder.

Under the city walls, people turned on their backs.

No matter how high the morale is, after suffering such a terrible head-on blow, it can only be a part of falling flowers.

The Zahu army retreated like a tide, and many people had already begun to tear their clothes before their feet touched the ground. Of course, they are not crazy, but in this severe cold, if they don't deal with it as soon as possible, wait until the water freezes and the clothes and skin stick together, then don't think about getting it off again, and it is unknown if the skin and flesh will stick off the body.

"Don't waste water, shoot arrows, shoot arrows!" Seeing that the enemy's momentum was slightly depressed, Gongsun Chan immediately changed his strategy. The archers poked out half of their bodies, aiming at the hastily retreating enemy troops, and another rain of arrows.

This time it was a salvo, and the effect was much better than just now, and the enemy troops who fled in a hurry had neither archers nor shields to cover them, and they suffered heavy casualties.

The Zahu army, which had retreated in a hurry, was concentrated, and in front of both the enemy and us, the officer who led the team was subjected to military law. After a simple threat and mobilization, another wave of rebels, led by a new governor, once again poured into the walls.

First the feathered arrows fired suppressively, then the rapid charge. Lifting the ladder from the corpse of his companion and lifting the ram, mechanically repeating the previous process.

Gongsun Zhan's voice was still powerful, but his heart had sunk.

There are too many enemies, and even if you use human lives to consume the physical strength and resources of the defenders, you can undoubtedly win the victory. Although it is possible to turn snow into water, the defense mode just now cannot be carried out a few times, and the steps of boiling snow and water are very long.

Brother Xian Yu is not a famous general, but these basic common senses are still there, if the other party is concerned about casualties, there is still a way to hold on for more time, but now......

"Lord......" Gongsun Zhan turned his head in response, only to see Changshi Guan Jing looking at him with a concerned face.

He shook his head, he knew what Guan Jing wanted to say, the one who persuaded himself to break through, Guan Jing was not the first, but it looked like he might be the last. However, what kind of face do you have to break through?

Sanwan Erlang trusted himself unreservedly, followed him north, and fought against two enemy forces of more than 100,000 in succession...... Now that most of them have died in battle, if they run away alone, even if they survive, will they be able to live in peace in the future?

No! Of course not!

"Hulu is ravaging Youzhou, all because of Zhan, the matter has come to this, today, only to die in the ear!" He categorically rejected the staff's proposal, and Guan Jing was still waiting to persuade him again, but at this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from afar.

When the two of them looked up, they found that the sound was coming from the southeast, where there was smoke and dust like pillars, straight into the sky, and under the smoke and dust, the sound of drums and horns came to the ground.

"This is ......" up and down the city, both sides of the battle have changed color.
