"Hahaha! King Han is really good at laughing, the main force of the Jin army is behind, what if the city gate is wide open and the Jin army rushes in? Xie Siming said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Guang pondered for a moment, and replied loudly: "General Li, Lord Xie, the Qi in Shu has been exhausted, the Great Jin Kingdom is orthodox, as a royal family, even this king has returned to the Jin Kingdom, what are you waiting for?" ”

"King Han, the last general eats the Son of Heaven and Lu, how can he bend his knees and surrender to other countries, if it is to reminisce about the past, King Han can continue, if it is a lobbyist for the Jin army, King Han will please go back!" Li Yi said selflessly.

Li Guang sighed and said again: "Don't harm the five thousand soldiers in the city for your personal honor!" General Hua said that as long as the two of you are willing to submit, they will be high-ranking officials and will not treat you badly. ”

Li Yi smiled and replied loudly: "The high-ranking official Houlu is not extravagant, the king of Han went back to tell the Jin general, if you want to take Mianzhu, let the horse come over and speak with the sword." ”

"Farewell, take care of yourself." Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, Li Guang was afraid that the situation would change, so he hurriedly turned his horse's head and ran backwards.

During the period when Li Guang persuaded Li Yi to surrender, Hua'an was not idle, he asked the Northern Expeditionary Army to set up a siege formation, and at the same time, let the baggage battalion assemble siege equipment so that it could attack the city at any time.

Seeing Li Guang rushing back with his head down, Hua An understood that the persuasion must have failed, but this was also expected, so Hua An did not feel the slightest surprise.

"General Hua, I have tried my best, Li Yi and Xie Siming insisted on not surrendering, and Li Yi also said that if the general wants to take Mianzhu. And he let the horses go, and spoke with his sword. Li Guangce galloped back and replied truthfully.

"Oh, speaking with a sword, this Li Yi has a bit of guts, not bad, not bad." Hua An praised Li Yi softly.

"Big brother, since they are going to speak with swords, then what are we waiting for, attack!" The thunderstorm roared loudly.

"Big brother. Our thunderbolts are ready. You can attack at any time. Wang Sanzheng reported.

Hua An nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going to give them a little color to see, the little Mianzhu City." The gram can be broken. ”

"Big brother. Give the order! Iron Bull urged loudly.

"General Hua. Li Yi doesn't know the current affairs, and my soldiers and horses in Shu can also do some modest efforts. A general of the Shu army made meritorious service and asked for his life loudly.

Hua An smiled at the corner of his mouth. He ordered loudly: "Tie Niu, you immediately allocate three hundred soldiers and horses, and be responsible for operating the thunderbolt car, and before attacking the city, you must at least inflict a large number of casualties on the enemy on the city wall." ”

"Yes, big brother." Iron Bull shouted the order, and immediately ordered his 300 men and horses to go forward to operate the thunderbolt car.

Due to the long-distance march and the inconvenience of movement, the Northern Expeditionary Army only brought a hundred disassembled baggage vehicles, which have been assembled and have now become the killer weapon of the Northern Expeditionary Army's siege of the city.

Three hundred soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army, manipulating a hundred baggage trucks, slowly marched towards Mianyang City, and set up a formation outside the city at a stone's throw away, and all kinds of stone bullets for attack were all prepared, and they could immediately attack as long as Hua'an gave the order.

"Big brother, the thunderbolt is ready, and it's time to attack the city." Wang San reminded in a low voice.

Hua An stretched out his hand and waved lightly, and said loudly: "Thunderbolt, launch immediately." ”

"Whoosh...... 100 thunderbolts fired stone bullets at Mianzhu City at the same time, and a black spot smashed into the city wall of Mianzhu City.

"Bang bang bang bang......" stone projectiles hit the city walls, making a dull crashing sound, making it clear that the battle had begun.

Li Yi and Xie Siming, who were supervising the battle on the city wall, saw that the Jin army suddenly launched a stone-throwing attack, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to dodge, and personally raised their shields to cover the thunderbolts fired from outside the city.

"Lord Xie, the Jin army's stone-throwing attack is really fierce! If it weren't for the adults' reminders to let our army prepare early, I am afraid that we would have suffered heavy casualties. Li Yi looked at Xie Siming and said loudly.

Xie Siming held the shield in one hand and replied loudly: "This trick of the Jin army, how can it be concealed, when I was in Nanzheng, I knew that the first step of the Jin army's siege was a thunderbolt attack, thinking that my Nanxiang City, under the several rounds of fierce thunderbolt attacks of the Jin army, fell in a few hours." ”

"I see." Li Yi nodded and asked loudly: "Since Lord Xie is so familiar with the tactics of the Jin army, there is a way to crack it." ”

Xie Siming smiled and replied loudly: "Yes, of course there is, the general gave me 100,000 troops, and I will definitely go out of the city to break the Jin army in the next place, and give the general a long face." ”

"Haha! An army of 100,000 people, if you gather the whole country of my Han Dynasty, you may not be able to have an army of 100,000! Master Xie is really good at laughing! Li Yi laughed and pulled up with Xie Siming.

It turned out that Xie Siming had not relaxed his attention to the direction of Hanzhong since he left Nanzheng and went to Chengdu to move the rescue troops, and when there was no hope for reinforcements and Hanzhong was lost, he came to Mianzhu, ready to rely on his superficial understanding of the Northern Expeditionary Army to give the Northern Expeditionary Army a little blow, so as to reflect his ability and impress the generals of the Jin Army.

In order to resist the fierce thunderbolt attack of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Xie Siming built yì as the soldiers defending the city, each equipped with a strong shield, and at the same time, thickened the female wall to increase the ability to resist thunderbolts.

With these preparations, the soldiers of the Shu army could naturally greatly reduce casualties in the face of the thunderbolt attack of the Northern Expeditionary Army, so as to preserve their own strength.

Hua'an, who was fighting outside the city, saw that the thunderbolt attack did not cause imaginary damage to the Shu army defending the city, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, he frowned, looked at the iron bull and more than ten Shu army generals beside him, and ordered: "Tie Niu, you immediately lead five thousand men and horses to attack the city wall on the left side of the city gate, as for the city wall on the right side of the city gate, it will be handed over to the Shu generals, all of them are five thousand men and horses, and the general will see who can break the city first." After speaking, he looked at the dozen or so Shu army generals beside him.

"Yes, General." More than a dozen Shu generals accepted Hua'an's orders loudly, and immediately led the army to rush to the city wall on the right side of the city gate.

"Big brother, don't worry, our army will definitely take the lead in breaking the city, and we won't let the big brother lose face." Iron Bull reassured loudly, and then led his five thousand men and horses to attack the city wall on the left side of the city gate.

"You must be careful, and you must not underestimate the enemy." Hua An Zhengse instructed.

Because the thunderbolt attack did not cause the imaginary damage to the Shu army defending the city, Hua'an always felt a little strange and had a clearer understanding of the defensive ability of Mianzhu City.

Seeing that the main force was all going to attack the city, Thunderstorm looked at Hua'an and said, "Big brother, they are all going to attack the city, and our army can't be idle!" Give the order! Our army can make a feint at the west gate, or at the east gate. ”

Hua An smiled and said, "Thunderstorm, your task now is to be on standby, and be responsible for protecting the thunderbolt, if you have a mission, the eldest brother will definitely not forget you." ”

"Yes, big brother." The thunderstorm responded, looking a little unhappy.

"Killing ......" Shu Army and the Northern Expeditionary Army Iron Bull Legion, a total of 10,000 troops, launched a fierce attack on the north gate of Mianzhu City.

Due to the light enemy, the Northern Expeditionary Army and the Shu Army did not carry out a strict formation, but advanced to the city at the fastest speed, thus exposing a lot of weaknesses.

Seeing that the army outside the city was coming, Li Yi hurriedly ordered the soldiers guarding the city under his command to immediately release arrows outside the city.

"Whoosh...... a fierce rain of arrows roared down, killing and wounding a lot of the siege army that was not in strict formation, and the Northern Expeditionary Army suffered hundreds of casualties at once, and the casualties of the Shu army were even greater.

"The shield-bearer is closer, the shield-bearer is closer." Seeing that the subordinates beside him fell to the ground one after another, Tie Niu hurriedly scolded loudly, asking the shield bearers in the front row to move closer to the middle to cover the soldiers in the back row.

The shield bearers in the front row of "Dong Dong Dong ......" hurriedly moved closer to the middle, and soon formed a tight shield wall, covering the bows and crossbows of the Shu army on the city wall.

"Soldiers, move forward steadily." With hundreds of casualties among his subordinates, Tie Niu's subordinates did not dare to underestimate the enemy anymore, and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to advance towards the city wall in a steady dense formation.

Xie Siming, who was watching the battle from the city gate, saw that the Northern Expeditionary Army sent such a neat formation to advance towards the city wall, and couldn't help but secretly sigh that the Northern Expeditionary Army was well-trained, in comparison, the formation of the Shu Army was too loose and obviously inferior to the Northern Expeditionary Army.

"The Jin army is so well-trained, it seems that our army is really difficult to resist! No wonder even the King of Han returned to the Jin Kingdom. General Li Yi sighed softly.

Xie Siming smiled and said: "The Jin army is well-trained, and our army is also well prepared, as long as the general works hard to defend it, within a few reincarnations, the Jin army will definitely not be able to break through the city." ”

"Yes, let the Jin army have a good look at the strength of our Shu army, lest the Jin army be too arrogant and think that my Shu army has no one." Li Yi shouted loudly to cheer himself up.

"Rush, rush!" When the Northern Expeditionary Army approached the Mianzhu city wall, Tie Niu shouted loudly and ordered his soldiers to set up a ladder and storm the city wall, while the crossbowmen under the city bent their bows and shot arrows to cover it.

"Stonehenge." Xie Siming shouted, and the soldiers of the Shu army who were in charge of defending on the city wall immediately moved the boulder next to him and threw it under the city.

"Boom, boom......" The Shu army defending the city prepared too many boulders, and a dense stone attack caused great casualties to the Northern Expeditionary Army besieging the city, and the ladders for the siege were also smashed a lot.

The losses of the Shu army were even greater, these Shu army troops had never encountered such a violent blow, the formation soon collapsed, some soldiers took the lead in starting to break and flee, and then all the men and horses retreated to the rear.

Hua'an, who was standing behind and watching the battle, saw that the Shu army was so tightly defended, the men and horses he sent had collapsed, and a lone army of Tie Niu could not support it alone, so he immediately made a decision and issued an order to withdraw the army.

......In the sound of a gong, Tie Niu led the Northern Expeditionary soldiers and horses to retreat. (To be continued......)
