Irresistible like a kiss.

There are constantly Shu troops falling.

At this time, the crossbowmen of the rear camp of the Shu army also began to approach and fire arrows at the city.

The arrows of both sides shot at each other with impunity as if they had been picked up without money.

But the battle losses of both sides were completely different.

Those who defend a city will always have an advantage over those who besiege it.

Ten zhang.

The Shu army bravely began to charge, ignoring the fact that hundreds of corpses had fallen behind them.

Once charged, the distance of ten zhang is a blink of an eye.

The Black Banner Guards and Spears of the walls began to move forward, and bloody hand-to-hand combat was about to begin.

Several rushing cars have also arrived more than ten feet away from the city gate.

……。

Baili Wuji was a little flustered, and he couldn't grasp it accurately, could it be that the Shu army was really attacking?

It doesn't make sense, you don't even have a fire reconnaissance, so you just attack the city with all your might?

If the opponent's master is a brave general, the reckless man is just that.

But intelligence shows that Han Jixun, the chief general of the Shu army, is a wise general.

This kind of mistake should not be made.

In such a siege, once the defenders counterattacked with all their might, it is estimated that more than half of the 30,000 troops will be lost.

Could it be that the Shu army really wants to burn all the jade?

Baili Wuji was anxious in his heart, and he had to make a decision whether to use firearms or not.

But after the worst, Baili Wuji still gritted his teeth and gambled.

This mine is a one-time thing, once it is used, it needs to be buried again, and if it is buried again, the Shu army will also be on guard, and the results will not be as big as the first time.

Although the Shu army was divided into two forces, it was only one-third of the whole army.

Since the whole army is not pressed, the Black Flag Guard will not be able to show his background.

Ci is not in charge of the army, and the losses in hand-to-hand combat are not subject to suffering.

Seeing that Baili Wuji did not issue a new order, Yu and Ma prepared hand-to-hand combat according to the pre-battle arrangement order of the Black Flag Guard.

……。

At this time, the Shu army camp.

Han Jixun was also a little flustered.

The Black Flag Guard's firearms are no longer a secret, why don't they use them under the attack of their own 10,000 troops?

Whether it was a flaw that was deliberately sold, or whether the firearms had been exhausted.

Should I gamble with the whole army?

With 30,000 troops to capture Chungju City, Han Jixun is still eighty percent sure.

In Han Jixun's opinion, no matter how sharp the Black Flag Guard's firearms are, in the face of absolute strength, it can only be a mantis arm blocking the car.

But Han Jixun didn't dare to try, he knew that the Shu Kingdom had already lost 16,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, and if it lost another 20,000 under the city of Zhongzhou now, the defense strength of the entire Shu Kingdom would be turbulent, and Shi Jin in the north was staring at the fat of the Shu Kingdom.

At that time, this side will regain the land of the three states, and it is likely to lose five or six states, or even seven or eight, on the side.

Such consequences were by no means what the emperor wanted to see.

Therefore, Han Jixun can't take risks and doesn't dare to take risks.

"Pass on the commander's order, Mingjin retreats."

At the moment when the Shu army launched a charge, the sound of gold made the soldiers on both sides breathe a sigh of relief.

I still have my life, and I can eat another full meal.

After leaving behind hundreds of corpses, the Shu army retreated.

Baili Wuji also exhaled, since he guessed the first time, he could also judge the second time, and the rhythm of the battlefield was very important.

Han Jixun, ah Han Jixun, after today, the initiative is no longer in your hands. Baili Wuji said silently.

"Ten will surround it, five will attack it, and the ...... will be fought if it is doubled." This truth is unscrupulous, and Han Jixun also knows the way.

Han Jixun now has 30,000 troops against more than 3,000 Black Flag Guards, which is in line with the principle of the Ten Rules of Encirclement.

But Han Jixun was unable to encircle Chungju City.

The east gate of Chungju Castle could not be encircled due to the terrain, so they could only watch the Black Flag Guard's convoy continuously transport food, ordnance, and even personnel to Chungju Castle.

After lunch.

Han Jixun gave the second siege order.

Storm the West Gate.

Ordered 10,000 Shu troops to attack Ximen with all their might.

When whistling stones pass overhead.

When the buzzing sound of arrows rang out again.

The 10,000 Shu troops who attacked the city for the second time had already appeared within twenty zhang outside the west gate.

Baili Wuji ordered the messenger to reject Ma Jiyun's request for help, and ordered Ma Jiyun not to leave the north gate without his own orders.

Baili Wuji tugged at the corners of his mouth, Han Jixun, your heart is starting to get anxious.

The soldiers behind the city gates who were responsible for detonating the thunder were ordered not to pull the strings without an order.

Order the crossbow battalion to fire with all its might.

Order the sword and shield battalion to approach and stand up for cover.

Order the entire firearms battalion to squat behind the sword and shield battalion and prepare for throwing.

The spear battalion was ordered to act as a reserve, ready to replenish the sword and shield battalion at any time.

……。

Everything is ready to go.

The fierce battle began.

The Shu army braved the rain of arrows to rush to the city gate, covered the cloud ladder at the cost of their lives to reach the city wall, and rushed to the city gate within five zhang.

It's too late to rejoice.

At this moment, the scene became eternal in the eyes of the Shu army under the city.

Grenades like raindrops poured down on the Shu army under the city wall, who were hurrying to arrange the ladder.

Almost at the same moment, mines were detonated within three to five feet outside the city gates.

Smoke and fire were accompanied by a deafening explosion.

The whole battlefield was shaken.

In an instant, time seemed to stand still.

In the entire space, only the aftermath of the roaring explosion echoed.

……。

"Han Shuai, withdraw, if you don't withdraw, it's all over."

The generals of the Shu army were tearfully persuading Han Jixun.

Han Jixun's heart was like a knife, the city gate was in front of him, but it was just a blink of an eye.

All the hard work and sacrifice vanished like snowflakes on iron.

"What kind of battle is this?" Han Jixun angrily pulled out his saber and split the table in front of him in half, and the tea bowl fell to the ground, with a "bang", just like the Shu army under Zhongzhou City, broken ......to pieces.

The Shu army retreated again, and this time the retreat was different from the last time.

If last time it could be called a retreat.

This time it can only be called a defeat, losing more than a thousand corpses, more than a dozen ladders and the wreckage of several rushing cars at the city gate, and withdrawing.

Although Han Jixun was unwilling, he was powerless in the face of iron-clad facts.

……。

Han Jixun convened his generals to discuss how to break the city.

After discussing for an hour, it was concluded that unless the black flag guards guarding the city ran out, the Shu army would not be able to approach within three zhang of the city gate.

Firearm...... Use up.......

"Someone, send scouts to check whether the Black Flag Guard has opened the city gate after this battle."

After a breath, Han Jixun got a definite negative answer.

"Pass on the commander's order, gather the team immediately, and prepare to fight again."

Han Jixun regarded everyone present as if they were nothing, and ordered loudly.

Although the generals were confused by the second monk, the marshal issued an order to fight again, so he naturally had his reasons.

In unison, he replied, "Yes." ”

Shen two quarters.

It's almost summer, and the sky is still bright.

After a short period of preparation, the Shu army launched a third attack.
