Chapter 180: Trap

After a brief silence, the battlefield once again became noisy. The well-fed Wei army set up a position and began to attack the city again, and a thousand archers rushed to the moat and shot wildly at the head of the city, and a rain of arrows poured down, so that the soldiers at the head of the city could not raise their heads. More than 100 soldiers pushed the siege engine, quickly approached the city gate, and hit the city gate again and again with huge battering rams. The wooden gates roared and crumbled under the continuous impact. The groaning of the city gate encouraged the Wei soldiers even more, and they shouted the trumpet, exerted all their strength, and continued to crash.

More Wei soldiers carried the ladder and rushed to the bottom of the city, erecting the ladder to climb to the top of the city. The head of the city shouted to kill, and the Shu Han army braved the rain of arrows under the city, leaned out half of their bodies, tried their best to fight back, shot with bows and arrows in their hands, assassinated with spears and halberds, hooked, overturned the ladder, slashed with knives, and splashed with hot oil.

The Wei soldiers in the city were met with the most powerful resistance since the beginning of the war, and people kept falling down the ladders, or being killed by arrows, or being scalded by boiling oil or dung. One after another ladders were knocked down and ignited, and the firelight illuminated the besieging Wei soldiers and bloodstained Wuguan City.

Blood is like water flowing in Dan water, swaying wantonly.

The Wei army was attracted by the merit of breaking the city at this moment, and the counterattack on the city not only did not demoralize them, but aroused their more vigorous fighting spirit. Ignoring the danger, the archers pushed to the walls of the city and shot sharp arrows at the top of the city. The Shu Han soldiers were constantly hit by arrows, some of them screamed backwards, and some of them turned over and fell to the head of the city, and then they were cut into pulp by the Wei soldiers.

Both sides were red-eyed, and neither dared to give in.

Wei Ba stood on the city tower, looking at the bloody battlefield and the arrows flying like locusts. Looking at the figures jumping in the firelight, listening to the shouts of killing and the sound of swords and shields slashing all around. The sound of arrows breaking through the air, listening to the loud sound of siege trucks hitting the city gates, my heart was uneasy. So far, he has been through a few battles. He was still the supreme commander during the attack on Jianzhang Palace, and he witnessed many bloody scenes with his own eyes. But seeing today's scene, he was still a little nervous.

Not for anything else. Only for Deng Zhi's adventure.

As Deng Zhi said, showing weakness is to take advantage of strength. This principle is very simple, but how to grasp it is quite difficult. It is not enough to show weakness, it is not enough to hook the enemy's competitive spirit, and it is too much to show weakness. There is also a possibility that the enemy will take advantage of the situation. At that time, even if there was still the strength of a battle in the city, the losses would inevitably be extremely large, and it would be impossible to face the approaching army of Sima Yi. How to get the size just right, even a seasoned veteran may not be perfect. Deng Zhi, a man who has never led a soldier, can he do it?

In addition to the 1,000 soldiers who held on to the city wall, Deng Zhi ambushed 2,000 people at the city gate, and more than 1,000 people left the city, and they did not know where to go, if nothing else, they should have moved to the back of the Wei army camp. In addition to these people, it was the more than 2,000 people he brought with him. Including more than 800 Wei family soldiers, and more than 1,000 people and horses supported by the powerful people in Guanzhong. They are the reserves, the ones who prevent the unexpected, and the killer weapon that strikes a fatal blow when the battle is stalemate.

Tsurumu stood behind him, slowly trimming his nails, oblivious to the battle that was just a stone's throw away. Ma Cao tightened his grip on his Qimen blade, his eyes widened, and he paid attention to every move on the battlefield, both shocked by the bloody battlefield and worried that a stray arrow would hit Wei Ba. As Wei Ba's personal guard, he has the responsibility to protect Wei Ba's safety.

"Yunlong, don't be too nervous." Dun Wu raised his palms, looked at the neatly trimmed nails by the light of the fire on the battlefield, and said unhurriedly: "If you are too nervous now, it will exhaust your strength, and when you really go into battle, you will lose your strength." ”

Ma Cao looked at his fingers that were a little white because he was holding them too tightly, smiled embarrassedly, let go of his fingers, pinched them a few times, and his fingers slowly regained some blood.

The two sides fought for two hours, and it was nearly midnight, and although the Wei army paid the price of more than a thousand people, it still failed to finally break through the city wall. Wuguan City is like a flat boat in the sea, although it is staggered by the wind and waves, and it seems that it may capsize at any time, but after every wind and wave, it miraculously appears on the sea.

Hu Zun's face was a little ugly, he had been attacking for so long, and he hadn't been able to take Wuguan City, which greatly surprised him. If he continues to fight like this, with the increase in casualties and the decline of morale, the possibility of breaking the city will become smaller and smaller, and the loss will be defeated, but Zuihou has not been able to take the Wuguan, so what awaits him is not merit or glory, only punishment and neglect.

He hesitated, vacillating between giving up the attack and continuing the attack. He once boasted in front of the generals that he wanted to take Wuguan, go to Wuguan City to rest, and give Sima Yi a big gift tomorrow morning. Especially Jin Dongliu, although he has not spoken, the disdain in his eyes can be seen even by the blind.

Hu Zun gritted his teeth and ordered another 2,000 elites to attack the city, if it still can't succeed, it will be over, no matter how embarrassing it is, he can only endure it, and he can't throw all the more than 6,000 forwards here.

Two thousand people were sent into battle, and only two thousand people from Jin Dongliu's two divisions and five hundred personal guards were left around Hu Zun.

When Jin Dongliu heard Hu Zun's order, he smacked his lips and didn't say anything. He knew very well that Hu Zun was already riding a tiger at this moment, no matter what he said, it would be very harsh in Hu Zun's ears, which would only anger him even more, and would not make him give up the attack.

Two thousand elites rushed to the battlefield, and the morale of the Wei army was greatly boosted again, and they let out a tsunami-like roar, rolling up a frenzy, and once again rushed towards the head of Wuguan City.

Deng Zhi narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Crossbowman, shoot!" Open the gates! ”

"Whoa." Ordered the flag soldiers to run to the gatehouse and wave the colored flags vigorously. The sweaty drummer received the order, waved his muscular knotted arms, and beat the war drums with all his might:

"Knock knock! Knock knock! Knock knock! Knock knock knock! ”

The war drums inside and outside the city echoed each other, and a series of war drums echoed over Wuguan, indicating that the battle situation had reached the most critical time. More archers rushed to the city wall and fired with all their might at the influx of Wei soldiers. Dense arrows swooped down on the city, piercing into the waves set off by the Wei army, stirring up blood flowers one after another. The Wei army was undaunted, they roared wildly, holding shields and swords, lined up, and rushed to climb towards the city wall.

The two sides fought a fierce battle, from time to time people fell from the city, there were Wei troops who climbed the city, and there were Shu troops who defended the city, they screamed, waved their arms, fell down the city, some were pulled up by their companions, and some were killed by the enemy.

In the tidal attack of the Wei army, a siege vehicle was pushed by more than 100 soldiers and slammed into the city gate.

"Boom!" There was a long wail from the city gate, the bolt of the door broke, and the city gate, which had long been knocked out of shape, burst open, exposing the inner city to the Wei soldiers.

The Wei army was ecstatic, and they erupted into a tsunami-like cheer, pushing the siege engines aside and swarming in.

"Ziyu, I'll leave it to you here." Deng Zhi nodded to Wei Ba and went down to the city with his personal guards. The Shu Han army ambushed at the city gate had long been ready for battle, they formed two lines of defense with baggage battalions, concentrated more than 500 crossbowmen, and fired at the Wei soldiers who rushed into the city, and a thousand sword and shield men were ready to massacre. On the horse road on both sides, there were 200 soldiers lined up in a dense phalanx, blocking the way for the Wei army to go to the city, and controlling the city gate to the death.

Seeing that the Shu Han army was prepared, the Wei army, which rushed into the city, immediately sent a signal for help, asking Hu Zun to send a reserve reinforcement and launch a zuihou attack.

When Hu Zun received the news of the destruction of the city, he was ecstatic, he knew that his adventure had succeeded. The city gate was besieged, Wuguan City was his bag, and the next thing was how to clear the remnants of the enemy in the city, rest for a while, recuperate the spirit, and meet the main force of the hussar general tomorrow.

Without hesitation, he gave the order to strike a blow from Zuihou, took the lead, and rushed to the city gate with his own personal guard battalion.

Jin Dongliu frowned, hesitated for a moment, and also ordered to start charging. He had a large number of people and moved relatively slowly, and by the time he was about to cross the moat, Hu Zun had already entered the city surrounded by his guards and disappeared into the rolling flow of people.

Jin Dongliu sighed, Hu Zun was ashamed of the snow this time, and his future life will be even more sad. He raised his head and glanced at the head of Wuguan City, but suddenly felt a little strange, subconsciously stopped, raised his hand, and roared loudly: "Stop advancing-"

The drummer beside him immediately sounded the gong that stopped advancing, but although the soldiers behind heard the gong, they didn't have time to stop their footsteps and continued to move forward, squeezing Jin Dongliu to the point where he couldn't stand and approached the city wall step by step.

Jin Dongliu was in a hurry, and shouted at the flag bearer: "Hurry up and wave the flag and stop advancing." ”

The flag bearer looked at him innocently. "General, I've already waved the flag."

"Battle flags?" Jin Dongliu suddenly became stunned, and he knew what the problem was. Since the Wei army had attacked the city, its first priority was to storm the tower, cut down Deng Zhi's battle flag, and control the city gate to block the enemy's counterattack. Now that even Hu Zun has entered the city, it is said that the vanguard troops entering the city should have already controlled the city tower, but the head of the city is still Deng Zhi's battle flag?

This can only show one thing, the castle tower is still under the control of the enemy.

In this case, it was a very dangerous move for the Lord to enter the city rashly.

"Call the police! Call the police......" Jin Dongliu was frightened into a cold sweat and immediately ordered to call the police to Hu Zun, but before his words fell, there was a loud bang, and an iron gate fell from the middle of the city gate, smashing several Wei soldiers and soldiers before they could even scream, and fell in a pool of blood.

The shouts and killings inside and outside the city suddenly stopped, and there was a sudden dead silence on the battlefield. Hu Zun, who had just rushed into the city, looked at the iron gate less than ten steps behind him, and couldn't help but gasp.
