Because Nanzheng is only more than 20 miles away from Baozhong City, and Hua'an's pro-military camp is full of cavalry, it only took an hour for Hua'an and his party to arrive in Baozhong City.

At this time, the city of Baozhong has been occupied by the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the garrison in the city is a hundred cavalry under the command of Thunderstorm, because the people of Shu do not know much about the Northern Expeditionary Army, therefore, when the Shu army in the city withdrew, most of them also chose to flee.

When Hua'an and his party entered Baozhong, it was already night, and except for dozens of soldiers patrolling under the command of Thunderstorm, it was quiet everywhere in the city, and it felt very desolate.

"Big brother, this is Baozhong City, it's so desolate!" Wang San opened his mouth and said.

Hua An looked at the surrounding environment and said softly: "The people in the city have run out, can it not be desolate?" The people of Liangzhou do not trust us, this is a big problem, after the defeat of Nanzheng, we must solve this problem immediately, otherwise, without the support of the people, we will not be able to stay in Liangzhou. ”

"Big brother is right, I will talk to the soldiers about this question." Wang San nodded in response.

The group settled down in the city near the south gate of Baozhong City, and after arranging the soldiers, Hua'an and Wang San walked on the wall of Baozhong City.

Baozhong City is a medium city, the main body of the city wall is the loess tamped, the outer layer of bricks, the height is only more than two zhang, not very high, but not short, there is a city gate in the city gate, the middle of the two city gates, naturally is the urn city used for defense.

Fluttering in the wind on the city wall are the flags of the Northern Expeditionary Army, on both sides of the city gate tower. Five soldiers stood each, and they were in charge of guarding the gates.

Hua An touched a flag, looked at Wang San, and said softly: "This flag is placed here, and the Shu army will not dare to enter the city, so it will be replaced immediately and replaced with the flag of the Shu army, and the soldiers who are responsible for defending the city gate will be changed into the clothes of the Shu army." The Shu army must not be allowed to discover the flaws. ”

"Big brother, don't worry! I'll leave it all to me. Wang San took the order.

Huaan nodded. Looking in the direction outside the south gate, he said softly: "Success or failure is tomorrow, I hope the situation is as we expected." ”

"Big brother, don't worry! Judging from the situation reported by Tie Niu, the combat power of the Shu army is not strong at all. And the strength of the army is only half of our army. Its master will be even more greedy for life and afraid of death. With a large number of siege equipment prepared by our army, Nanzheng can be broken within a few hours. Wang San said confidently.

Hua An smiled. He said softly: "It's not terrible if the soldier's combat power is not strong, I'm afraid that the main general is a coward, as the saying goes, a soldier is a bear, and there will be a nest of bears, as long as the main general is a nest, even if there are more elite soldiers in his hands, it is useless!" ”

"Yes! Big brother, we can go back and sleep peacefully, and tomorrow we will catch turtles in an urn. Wang San said and pointed to the urn city below.

"Haha, go back to sleep." Hua An looked at the urn city, smiled, and walked down the city wall with Wang San.

#####

Early in the morning of the second day, in the direction of Nanzheng, the three main forces of the Northern Expeditionary Army lined up in an attack formation and slowly pressed towards Nanzhengcheng.

Seeing that the Jin army had a lot of siege equipment and a complete range of types, the soldiers of the Shu army defending the city suddenly felt cold, and they looked at the Lu bus in front of them, which was much higher than the city wall, but they were thinking in their hearts, what is the use of this thing.

Some well-informed Shu soldiers recognized this as the Lu bus, so they publicized the usefulness and power of the Lu bus in the ranks, and after learning the great power of the Lu bus, many Shu soldiers wavered in their determination to defend the city and wanted to escape.

In fact, the people of Liangzhou are fierce, and the soldiers are not afraid of death, but the emperor of Shu Li Shi does not cultivate virtue and politics, the people do not agree with him, and the soldiers will not die for a faint king, therefore, most of the Shu soldiers in the city do not have the idea of donating their lives to the country, and once the situation is unfavorable, they will collapse.

The Jin army besieged Nanzheng in three ways, and Li Guang, the king of Han who was the main general, naturally wanted to check it out, he climbed the city head of the south gate of Nanzheng, looked forward, and was dumbfounded, the siege equipment of the Jin army was rolling in, among them, there were hundreds of thunderbolt cars alone, and the only two Lu buses were also deployed outside the south gate.

"In such a situation of the Jin army, how can the city be defended! It's better to surrender. Li Guang casually said a frustrating word.

"King Han, how can you be defeated without a fight, and the last general is willing to defend Nanzheng to the death." A subordinate general said righteously.

From his statement, it can be seen that the Shu army does not lack strong generals with integrity, but Emperor Li Shi will not use people, and it is a big mistake to let a timid prince who is as timid as a mouse be responsible for guarding Liangzhou.

Li Guang, the king of Han, saw that the general insisted on defending the city, so he pushed the boat along the river and said: "The general said well, you are fully responsible for the direction of the south gate, and this king will go to the west gate to have a look." After speaking, he couldn't wait to walk out of the city, for fear that the Jin army outside the city would shoot thunderbolts to hit him.

In fact, when Li Guang walked down the city wall, he did not go to inspect outside the west gate, but took his own soldiers to the camp in the center of the city to take refuge, and was ready to flee at any time.

The agreed siege time was soon up, and the three men and horses of the Northern Expeditionary Army were all ready to attack the city.

Among them, the thunderstorm army in the direction of the west gate is cavalry, and is not good at siege, their siege is limited to harassment and containment, the main siege tactic is that the cavalry quickly passes under the city wall, and uses bows and arrows to shoot the Shu soldiers on the city wall.

The east gate and the south gate are the main forces of the Northern Expeditionary Army attacking the city, equipped with complete siege equipment, and are fully capable of the task of breaking through Nanzheng.

As the main force of the main force, the Zhao Wu Legion outside the South Gate took the lead in launching a strong attack on Nanzheng.

Seeing that the three hundred thunderbolts had been completely prepared, Zhao Wu shouted loudly: "Thunderbolts, launch them immediately." ”

"Huhuhu......" 300 boulders roared and smashed into Nanzheng's city wall at the same time.

......With the dull sound, the city wall of Nanzheng was smashed out of small pits, and a small number of stones were smashed on the bodies of the Shu soldiers, causing great damage to the Shu soldiers.

The thunderbolt of the Jin army, round after round of salvos, threw tens of thousands of stone bullets to the city wall of Nanzheng, causing great losses to the Shu army defending the city, especially the psychological shock of the Shu army soldiers, these soldiers have never seen such a powerful thunderbolt array, and they were suppressed for a while at a loss, if it were not for the generals to maintain it, there would have been soldiers fleeing.

Seeing that the thunderbolt attack was more than halfway through, Zhao Wu looked at the large number of infantry behind him and ordered loudly: "Soldiers, attack the city, kill ......"

Suddenly, two rows of giant shield soldiers opened the way in front, followed by a large number of infantry, carrying ladders and planks towards the moat, and in the last row were a large number of sword and shield soldiers and crossbowmen.

Seeing that the Jin army was slowly killing, the generals of the Shu army who were defending the city immediately ordered the archers on the city wall to release arrows, and for a while, the arrows on the city wall rained down and shot at the Jin army and horses.

Fortunately, the Jin army was covered by a giant shield, and the soldiers were not injured by bows and arrows, and after arriving at the moat, the infantry behind the giant shield put half of the ladder directly on the moat, and then laid a layer of wooden planks.

The soldiers in the back row stepped directly on the makeshift wooden bridge, rushed down the city of Nanzheng, and erected the remaining half of the ladder on the wall of Nanzheng.

"Kill ......" The sword and shield soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army roared and climbed the ladder to kill the city wall, while the crossbowmen below were responsible for covering.

After the ladders and planks on the moat of the "Boom Boom Boom ......" were paved, the only two Lu buses began to slowly pour towards the city wall.

Because the general of the Shu army who was responsible for defending the south gate was a loyal figure, and the men and horses under his command were as high as 6,000, therefore, under his full defense, Zhao Wu's siege was not very smooth, and the soldiers who climbed up the ladder were all knocked down, and even more than a dozen ladders were set on fire by the soldiers defending the city, which caused great casualties to the Northern Expeditionary Army.

But as the two Lü buses crossed the moat and arrived under the city wall, the situation was reversed, and a large number of Jin infantry, following the ladder inside the Lü bus, climbed directly to the top of the Lü bus, and condescendingly, jumped onto the wall of Nanzheng, and fought with the Shu soldiers defending the city.

Two Lu buses transported the soldiers of the Jin army to the city in a steady stream, which greatly increased the pressure on the Shu army defending the city, and the loss of the city wall may only be a matter of time.

"General, the east gate is lost, the east gate is lost." Just when the Shu army at the south gate was under tremendous pressure, a soldier suddenly shouted unfavorable news.

The general of the Shu army, who was in charge of guarding the south gate, looked in the direction of the east gate, and a fierce fire broke out in the direction of the east gate, which seemed to indicate the loss of the city gate.

In fact, the direction of the east gate was not lost, it was just that the fireball fired by the thunderbolt under the command of Tie Niu ignited the city gate tower of the east gate, and then caused the fire, and the east gate was still in the hands of the Shu army for the time being.

"General, the east gate has been lost, and we can't stand it here, so let's retreat! If you don't leave, it's too late. A subordinate general said loudly.

"Bastard, as a Han general, how can we bend our knees and surrender, even if we fight to the last man, we can't give up Nanzheng and continue to defend the city." The generals of the Shu army loudly expressed their determination.

The generals had no choice but to lead their subordinates to resist the Jin army, which was becoming more and more dominant.

Soon, thousands of Jin soldiers climbed the city wall of the south gate of Nanzheng, overwhelming the Shu army defending the city.

"Run, run!" Several timid soldiers, shouting and fleeing to the city first.

Seeing that several soldiers were the first to flee, and the rest of the soldiers also fled one after another, the resistance of the Shu army became even weaker.

"Surrender or die, surrender or die." The soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army who attacked the city loudly announced the prisoner policy of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Seeing that resistance was certain to death, and surrender may have a glimmer of life, some Shu soldiers chose to surrender, and soon, more and more Shu soldiers chose to surrender. (To be continued......)
