Chapter 460: Ambition

A group of Han soldiers in black armor, about twenty-five in number, carrying a ramble, were rushing towards the city gate. The solid wooden hammer rested on the shoulders of the soldiers, and as the soldiers ran forward, they quickly approached the city gate. At the very end of the hammer was a dark iron sheet, pointing at the city gate from afar, and there was no doubt what kind of vibration it would bring when it hit the city gate.

The soldiers of the Han army who carried the hammer were all big men, and only the most powerful soldiers in the army could lift such a giant hammer and move forward at a very fast speed.

And it's not just this passerby.

Also carrying the hammer were two groups of Han soldiers, followed by two groups of Han soldiers, each of which charged in a different direction towards the southern gate of Guangzong City. At the same time, there were also rushing cars, as well as some catapults and trebuchets, all of which acted in unison.

The scene was extremely dull from the beginning, and there were even some bland south city gates, which seemed to come alive at this moment. It turned out that the Han army, which seemed to be trying its best to attack the city wall, completely showed completely different combat effectiveness from before, and launched a fierce attack towards the south city gate!

Caught off guard, there were even some Yellow Turban soldiers at the head of the city who were a little confused. It wasn't until the sound of falling stones in his ears and the Han soldiers he saw in his eyes that he was rushing towards the city wall that he suddenly woke up.

"Rolling logs, falling rocks! Ready to get started? Remember to wait for the enemy to rush and hit the hammer before throwing it, throw it accurately for me, and don't let them get close to the wall! ”

"Boil, golden juice, pour it on me, and let them die in pain and wail, and pay for their sins!"

"Hurry, hurry! Archers move me, rain of arrows! Give me a salvo towards that place, three rounds! The Yellow Turban General shouted hoarsely, standing in front of a group of archers, pointing his finger at the range that the Han army had to pass through to hit the hammer and rush the car.

His face was heavy, and he didn't expect that in the previous battle, the Han army besieging the city would actually leave a hand. He thought that it was the limit of the Han army before, and at that time there was still a little pride in his heart, at least according to what he expected, the Han army was completely unable to attack the city wall he presided over defending.

However, everything he saw now was undoubtedly a few slaps in his face, which trampled on his self-confidence. It doesn't matter, what really makes him feel bad is that because of his miscalculation, coupled with the urgency of the South City Gate, he sent a part of the reinforcements who rushed to support the South City Gate to support the North City Gate!

Now, it will take time to recall this part of the reinforcements! It's just that he can really make it to that time!

"Zhao Liang, hurry up and send reinforcements before I go to chase, so that they can hurry back!" Conveying the order, the eyes of the Yellow Turban generals looking out of the city revealed incomparable worry.

What did he see? It was the Han soldiers who carried the hammers, walking like flying in the rain of arrows, and the arrows shot at them, but they could not enter, and they were bounced off by their armor. There were almost no gaps in the bodies of these Han soldiers, so as not to give the slightest space for the arrows flying in the sky to penetrate. Even the helmets they wore on their heads were completely enclosed, leaving only two holes for the eye to see, and a small hole for the nose to breathe.

These Han soldiers were Liangzhou soldiers brought by Dong Zhuo from Liangzhou, and they were all strong men recruited from the Qiang tribe. He didn't just bring cavalry, for this battle of Guangzong, Dong Zhuo has been preparing for a long time, and he has been operating for this purpose, of course he will not just bring cavalry, he dares to come to Guangzong, and he wants to fight for merit in the face of a city.

The Qiang people have always been brave and strong, but they also have two shortcomings, greed and faithfulness. But this is nothing, the reason why Dong Zhuo paid them when he was in Liangzhou and married them was because it was a good knife.

A good knife naturally doesn't need to think about anything else, only needs to consider whether the blade is sharp or not, and whether it can destroy everything that stands in front of him.

Those big men in black armor and carrying rambles are good knives. The characteristics of the Qiang people make them not afraid of anything, especially when they can be given enough benefits in front of them, these people will become beasts. Where can such a brainless beast be found? But there is nothing, it is better than them, such a knife is exactly what Dong Zhuo needs.

Even if this knife may sometimes hurt his hand, Dong Zhuo doesn't care. His hands were thick enough to hold his palms, and he was afraid that when the blade hurt his hand, it would be shattered by his wide palm. It is because of this that this time when he went out of Liangzhou, he did not take his son-in-law Li Ru with him, but left him in his rear.

There are not only Qiang people, but also Ma Teng and Han Sui, whom Dong Zhuo is quite afraid of. The Qiang people are nothing, even if all the tribes unite, Dong Zhuo will not be afraid, not to mention that they can't join forces? It's just that the latter two, any one of them takes it out alone, there are all kinds of troubles, and when the two walk together, the troubles brought are even more multiple.

Scattering those thoughts that were too far away from his mind, and raising his head, Dong Zhuo's flickering eyes stared at the walls of Guangzong City, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face, making his face even more hideous. I'm afraid that those fools who defend the city didn't expect that he was perfunctory and clumsy in the previous siege, right?

If not, how could the vigilance of the defenders at the head of the city be relaxed? Coupled with the other three city walls, the offensive of Lu Zhi and others, and the north city wall that has been attacked by Lu Zhi, who cares about the south city wall that looks safe?

As for how he knew that Lu Zhi had already attacked the northern city wall, of course it was the cavalry sent out by Dong Zhuo, otherwise how would he seize this opportunity? And ah, he still has a little time to let the Yellow Turban Army react, let them draw troops to support the North City Gate, and no matter how strong the support is, the South City Gate he is responsible for attacking will have a little less guard.

Siege, right now.

Exhaling softly, Dong Zhuo raised the spear in his hand, squinted his eyes slightly, and projected his gaze towards the city gate along the tip of the spear.

Unlike Lu Zhihuang, Fu Song, and Zhu Jun, he will not set his sights on the city, his goal is the city gate. Because of his opportunity, he can not get much time, and even if he can attack the city, he may not be able to really capture it.

In ancient times, the besieging side often had several times more troops than the defending side. But they are completely different now, even with the victories of several major battles and the success of many battles, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Thief Army are still more numerous than their Han army!

All he could do was seize this moment of opportunity to break through the South City Gate! As long as the city gate is broken, there will be no obstacle in front of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the entire Guangzong City will enter and exit at will as if it were unfortified.

With only these stupid Yellow Turban bandits, how can they stop him, Dong Zhuo, who relied on to crisscross Liangzhou and crush many Qiang tribes who couldn't raise their heads. As long as there is no city and the city wall, Dong Zhuo believes that there is no way to stop him with only those ridiculous thieves of the Yellow Turban Army

What's more, he is not just one person now, and the one standing behind him is not the power of Liangzhou. It's the whole court! With the entire imperial court as the backing, what he needs to think about is how to seize his own interests from it and expand this unique benefit.

The flame called ambition burned fiercely in Dong Zhuo's eyes. The battlefield of flesh and blood in front of him was completely dissolved in his eyes, turning into a staircase, leading to a higher staircase.

One day, he will make those great families pay for their pride. He Dong Zhuo, although he is from the Shu clan, is no worse than those children of the family! From Liangzhou to here, what he has paid is also what those families can't imagine, and the position he wants to stand in will sooner or later become the eyes of those children of the family, and what will be revealed will only be a back.

From Liangzhou, to here, and beyond. So, let's get started here.

"Niu Fu, where is Hu Che'er?" He asked.

As soon as Dong Zhuo's words fell, two rough voices came, "Here!" ”

Two generals, one on a horse and one on foot, came to Dong Zhuo. The one riding the horse is Niu Fu, and the one on foot is Hu Che'er, the two of them don't move in a different way, their names don't move, and their appearances are different, but what is the same is that they are both brave generals around Dong Zhuo.

"Niu Fu, Hu Che'er, you will lead the cavalry with me to attack Guangzong City." Dong Zhuo commanded.

"Li Dao Guo Yan, you two stay and lead the whole army for me to put pressure on the Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city!"

"General Zhonglang, this must not be! It's better to lead the cavalry to attack the city or let Niu Fu and Hu Che'er go, or one of me and Guo Yan can also do it! But you go, it's just too dangerous. Li Dao hurriedly stopped him.

"That's right, General Zhonglang, just leave it to me and the car when you enter the city gate! The two of us will definitely take the South Gate to show you! Niu Fu answered from the side.

Hu Che'er straightened his chest when he heard this, he was majestic and dark, standing there like a wall.

"No more." Dong Zhuo didn't care what they said, or he didn't stand up at all, and spoke out to stop their next words of exhortation.

He laughed and asked, "If I don't take the lead, who will serve my life?" ”

Li Dao and Guo Yan glanced at each other silently, but they also knew that there was no way to persuade Dong Zhuo not to lead the army to attack the city, at least this was an impossible task for them. Now they miss Li Ru who is far away in Liangzhou, and only Li Ru's words can make Dong Zhuo listen to him and change his mind.

After laughing a few times, Dong Zhuo stopped his smile and said slowly, "I know what you're worried about. But don't worry, a small Guangzong City has no way to stop my Dong Zhuo's way forward. ”

"What's more......" Dong Zhuo paused and continued: "Hu Che'er and Niu Fu will follow me, you don't have to worry too much, if I don't have a chance, I will stay under the city gate and be smashed by those fools?" ”

"Yes." Li Dao and Guo Yan's complexions were finally soothed, not as ugly as they were at the beginning.

With the protection of Niu Fu and Hu Che'er, Dong Zhuo basically won't have any problems, not to mention that there are three thousand Xiliang Iron Riders by his side! Even if the siege is not over, Dong Zhuo can be escorted back intact.

In the distance, the Han soldiers carrying rambling hammers quickly approached the city gate, and every moment they were able to cross a large distance. At the feet of these soldiers were feathered arrows, which were stopped and fell to the ground when they struck their armor.

Originally, such a hammer only needed ten soldiers to lift. It's just that it was a soldier wearing ordinary armor, and the armor worn by these soldiers was much heavier than that, and if it was still carried by ten soldiers, then the speed of running would be much slower.

They are not afraid of arrows, but rolling logs and falling rocks can crush them to death. There was also hot oil and gold juice, which poured down from the city, and could still flow down the gaps in the armor and into the armor.

Speed is life. This is where the twenty-five soldiers go and lift a ramshell, even if it looks crowded, can increase their speed to a limit, giving them time to dodge the falling rocks.

Running all the way with arrows, if it weren't for the armor on their bodies, they would have died countless times. After all, without this layer of armor, the human body cannot be compared to siege equipment.

"Bang." As they approached the city gate, a hammer was hit by a falling rock falling from the top of the city, and the entire hammer was split into two parts, killing several Han soldiers carrying the hammer

The Yellow Turbans at the head of the city let out a cheer, and tried their best to lift the rolling logs and stones, and threw them towards the city.

"Bang." Another hammer was thrown and turned in two. The rushing cars, also under the bombardment of the rolling logs and rocks at the head of the city, stopped near the city gate and turned into piles of fragmented parts.

There were only three hammers, but one of them approached the city gate! The soldiers shouted suddenly, raised their rams, increased their pace under their feet, and slammed into the city gates!

"Bang!"

A dull roar rang out, and the gates shook, making an overwhelmed sound. The dozen or so players standing next to them watched this scene in a daze, and at that moment, they could all feel the vibration transmitted from the tall city gate to the ground, making their bodies shake.

"Where is the Xiliang Iron Horse?" Dong Zhuo in the distance shouted loudly.

"In!"

He urged the war horse under his seat and rushed towards the city gate, "Follow me, charge!" ”
