"The generals listened to the order and immediately prepared flammable materials such as grass and trees to prepare for the siege." Zhang Ju ordered loudly to his generals.

"Yes, General." When the generals heard the order, they immediately turned around and went to prepare.

"Is it only your Jin army that will attack with fire?" The corners of his mouth twitched, and his eyes were full of murder.

It was very convenient to prepare flammable materials of plants and trees, and they were quickly prepared, and Zhang Ju selected 300 soldiers under his command to be responsible for carrying these flammable materials, and at the same time let 500 sword and shield soldiers be responsible for protecting them.

As soon as he was ready, Zhang Ju drew his sword, swung it forward, and roared: "Siege the city, kill ......"

Suddenly, nearly ten thunderbolts smashed huge stones into the walls of Yinling, followed by 6,000 infantry roaring towards Yinling City.

Because after a bloody battle, the front army of 5,000 men and horses has lost nearly 1,000 people, and the combat power has declined, so Zhang Jurang sent 2,000 men and horses from the rear army to attack the city with the front army, at this time, he still took 3,000 men and horses to watch the battle from a distance.

In the face of the enemy's more frantic attack, the Jin army defending the city was ready to fight to the death, and at this time, Qin Yong, the captain of the Northern Expeditionary Army's personal battalion, had already led 700 elite soldiers to the head of Yinling City.

With the strong addition of this elite new force, the pressure on defending the city was greatly reduced, and in particular, when the soldiers heard that the main army had made a detour to the rear of the enemy army, they were even more vigorous, and they were determined to hold the enemy to the death.

According to the position, Hua An, as the captain of the left brigade of the pro-military battalion, is Qin Yong's subordinate, and he should obey Qin Yong's orders, but Qin Yong never puts on a prefect in front of Hua An, he understands that Hua An's talent is ten times that of himself, and he is the close disciple of the main general, and it is only because he is young and has little qualifications that he is subordinate to himself.

Hua An has been familiar with Qin Yong since he was a child, and naturally he does not have the sense of oppression of his subordinates seeing his superiors in front of Qin Yong, but directly assigns tasks.

Due to the soldiers under his command, after several battles, there were only more than 200 people left, and Hua'an decided to personally lead these more than 200 soldiers to defend the vicinity of the city gate tower above the gate of Yinling.

Qin Yong led 700 soldiers of the pro-military battalion to defend the right city wall where the enemy attack was weak, while more than 2,000 cavalry soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army were responsible for defending the left city wall where the enemy was attacking fiercely.

After the task was assigned, the generals of each army immediately led their subordinates to hold their positions to meet the enemy's attack.

As the enemy's strength increased to 6,000 men, the edge of the attack became sharper, and from time to time a small number of soldiers climbed the city wall to meet the Jin army defending the city, and the battle was extremely fierce.

In particular, more than 300 soldiers who were responsible for burning the city gate were divided into ten waves, and under the cover of fifty sword and shield soldiers, they slowly approached the city gate, bringing a lot of threat to the already dilapidated city gate.

Seeing these soldiers with firewood rushing towards the city gate, Hua An was not too nervous, he had long expected that the enemy army would definitely learn and sell and set fire to the city gate, so he had already prepared enough water for firefighting.

"Big brother, the enemy army rushed to the city with firewood, this is to set fire to the city gate! Hahaha! Thunderstorm laughed loudly, apparently not afraid, for there was a jar full of water beside him, enough to extinguish any fire.

"It's still the eldest brother who had the foresight to expect that the enemy army would attack with fire, so he prepared so much water early." Zhao Wu praised Hua An, and finally found the answer to all the doubts before.

Hua An was praised by his brother, and he was very proud in his heart, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and ordered softly: "Listen, when the enemy army reaches the city, it will be attacked immediately with water and the enemy army will be poured into a soup chicken." ”

"Big brother, don't worry, they must not be able to light their firewood." Thunderstorm assured loudly, and Zhao Wu also nodded affirmatively.

The first wave of enemy troops, who slowly reached the city gate, unloaded the firewood on their backs and piled it up at the city gate to prepare for the fire.

Seeing this scene, Hua An smiled indifferently at the corner of his mouth and said loudly: "Pour water." ”

"Bang la, bang lala......"

More than a dozen jars of cold water suddenly poured down, although the enemy army had a shield to cover it, but the shield could only block the arrows, how could it block the colorless and invisible water.

I saw that all the fallen water hit the enemy's shields, and the splashes of water fell on the enemy soldiers, and the firewood piled up at the city gate was naturally not spared, and it was all wet.

How to light the firewood that was wet with water, the enemy soldiers tried for a long time, and they were so anxious that they scolded their mother, but the firewood was never lit, so they had no choice but to retreat slowly, Hua'an and the soldiers took the opportunity to kill and wound more than a dozen enemies with bows, arrows and stones.

As soon as the first wave of the enemy left, the second wave of the enemy approached the city gate with firewood, and Hua An and the soldiers repeated their old tricks to thwart the enemy's attempt again.

Immediately afterwards, the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth waves were easily defeated by Hua'an, but at this time, all the water in the vats on the city wall had been used up, and the ninth wave of the enemy army poured into the city, and the shape suddenly became critical.

"Big brother, there's no water." Thunderstorm looked at several large vats in a row and shouted anxiously.

"Then what are you still doing in a daze, go to the city to find water." Hua An joked casually.

At this time, there is a lot of water behind the city gate, the reason why the water is placed here is that there are too many on the city wall to fit down, the second is that you can use a water tank filled with water to resist the city gate and increase the defense of the city gate, and the third is that if the city gate really burns, you can cooperate with the water on the city to extinguish the fire from the back.

"Big brother, the enemy army has already come, and now it's too late to find water." Thunderstorm was a rough man, apparently not seeing that Huaan was joking.

Hua An looked at the thunderstorm's surprised eyes, and couldn't help but feel funny, and hurriedly said: "No need to look for it, just go and get the backup water source under the city." ”

"Alternate water source." Thunderstorms don't understand yet.

"Brother Thunderstorm, there are dozens of tanks of water behind the city gate, and the big brother means to get water from there, so it must be in time." Zhao Wu was responsible for transporting all this water, and he naturally knew that there was water behind the city gate.

"If you don't say it earlier, your brother will have a false alarm." Thunderstorm glared at Zhao Wu angrily, and walked down the city with a scolding.

Zhao Wu shook his head and walked towards the city with dozens of subordinates following behind Tie Niu.

By the time they carried dozens of jars of water to the city, the ninth wave of enemy soldiers had successfully lit the firewood, but fortunately, the flames were not very large and had not yet burned.

"Oops, it's all burning, haha!" Thunderstorm laughed and poured a full tank of water into the city.

"......"

As soon as the fire burned, a vat of cold water was poured on it, and the effect can be imagined.

Seeing that the firewood that had finally been lit was extinguished again, the enemy commander gritted his teeth angrily, he had long expected that the Jin army would use water to extinguish the fire, so he prepared a large amount of firewood.

Moreover, the three hundred soldiers were divided into ten waves, and they attacked continuously in waves, but he never expected that the Jin army defending the city would prepare so much water, which was too unreasonable.

It must have been the Jin army that he had to attack with fire, otherwise it would be impossible to deliberately prepare so much water, Zhang Ju nodded secretly.

Soon the tenth wave of soldiers also retreated, looking at the full firewood piled up outside the city gate in front of him, Zhang Ju's heart was extremely depressed.

At this time, the six thousand soldiers who were besieging the city were still fighting bloodily, but there was no sign of breaking through the city wall, Zhang Ju secretly sighed: "The Jin army is so tenacious, no wonder Liang'er's force can't break out of the encirclement, hey!" ”

Zhang Ju thought of his son Zhang Liang, and his heart suddenly became sad, but he quickly turned from grief to anger and vowed to break through Yinling City.

"General, the siege equipment of our army has arrived, just behind." A subordinate general suddenly interrupted Zhang Ju's train of thought.

When Zhang Ju heard this, he turned around and looked back, a large number of main siege equipment were in front of him, there were two rushing cars alone, more than ten thunderbolt cars, and even more huge shields and ladders covering arrows.

The arrival of more than 300 soldiers with this batch of main equipment greatly enhanced the information that Zhang Ju had broken through Yinling City, and it should be said that in Zhang Ju's heart, it was only a matter of time before he broke through the city.

"Give the whole army an order to prepare for the siege." Zhang Ju ordered loudly.

Suddenly, more than 3,000 soldiers, who had already recuperated and recharged, began to assemble in a group, and the reorganization was soon completed.

"Kill into the Yin Tomb, men, women and children, not a single one will be left." Zhang Ju waved his sword and yelled.

The last 3,000 men and horses of the enemy roared towards Yinling City, and its main general, Zhang Ju, also charged behind with his own guards.

The 6,000 men and horses of the enemy army attacking the city had already caused great pressure on the Jin army defending the city, and at this time, the 3,000 fresh troops in the distance roared and killed, which made the Jin army defending the city feel a little weak.

But when he thought that the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army, 20,000 horses, was about to return to the rear of the enemy army, the soldiers defending the city couldn't help but be a little excited.

"Big brother, the enemy army is all rushing up, now you can kill for a while." Thunderstorm gritted his teeth and clenched the spear in his hand.

"Kill them all, so that they will never return." Zhao Wu also cheered up the soldiers loudly.

"We must defend the city with all our strength before the main force of our army encircles the enemy." Hua An loudly gave the death order to the soldiers around him.

"Brigade commander, the enemy rushes the car." A sharp-eyed soldier seemed to have discovered something.

Hua An looked up at the front, and couldn't help but be surprised, the enemy army didn't know when a lot of siege equipment came out, and a huge rushing car was speeding towards the city gate, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

Hua'an knew very well that if such a large rushing car was allowed to crash into the city gate at such a fast speed, the city gate would be knocked open with just one blow.

It is necessary to slow down the enemy's rushing car, Hua An looked at the water tank beside him, and ordered loudly: "Keep these water tanks still under the city, be fast." ”

When the soldiers heard the order, they immediately threw all the water tanks under the city, and dozens of water tanks suddenly crackled and shattered to the ground.

Soon the enemy's chariot had already rushed to the city, due to the fragments of the water tank and the thick tree trunk, the speed of the chariot was instantly reduced, and the siege soldiers removed the obstacle before pushing the cart to the city gate.

Taking advantage of this effort, Hua An and others above the city gate used stones and arrows to greet the attacking enemy troops, causing a lot of losses to the enemy army.
