At dawn, the roar that resounded throughout the night finally stopped, and the Xuanyuan army, under the command, retreated ten miles in an orderly manner. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The defenders on the Tongguan city wall finally breathed a sigh of relief, and throughout the night, the defenders had no rest, braving boulders and arrow rain, desperately rushing to repair the broken city wall and block the attack of the Xuanyuan army.

But even so, a section of the Tongguan city wall was completely smashed, if it weren't for the Xuanyuan army not really wanting to break through Tongguan, I'm afraid that the war had already started in the city at this time.

After the first battle, the defenders of Tongguan suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and Xuanyuan Che did not suffer much loss except for the soldiers who pushed the battering ram up and hit the city gate, and were burned to death by the defenders' oil.

But even so, it also made Xuanyuan Che quite angry, on the one hand, he was annoyed that he didn't expect the defenders' fire oil offensive, and on the other hand, he regretted losing his men in vain.

"Finally retreated." The city wall resounded with a fluke of words, a night of fierce offensive, so that the Tongguan defenders frightened, this night's experience, I am afraid that will leave a lot of shadow in their hearts, a lifetime will be difficult to eliminate.

"General, overnight, our army has suffered tens of thousands of casualties, but the enemy has not been injured at all.

Next to the collapsed city tower, a messy lieutenant said to the guard Liu Yan.

"Don't worry, after the first battle, the enemy's ordnance reserves must have been depleted, and it is impossible to think about it like last night.

Besides, do you think that the Xiliang Army of Xiangguo in the city is vegetarian? If it weren't for the enemy's fierce attack last night, and the darkness of the night, how could they be so arrogant. ”

"What does the general mean, could it be that the Xiliang army will go out of the city today to fight a decisive battle with the enemy?"

The lieutenant said a word, the meaning of the inquiry, and in the end, he also felt that this was the case, and said: "Then what should we do?" I was beaten so hard last night, if I can't fight back, I'm afraid it will be bad for morale. ”

"Wait a minute, after the first battle, our losses are too heavy to withstand any defeat. Unless we can see the final victory, our Tongguan defenders will never go out of the city and participate in their war. ”

Liu Yan looked at a camp in the distance, a little depressed, last night's war was a disaster for him.

The two were talking, and suddenly there was a sound of thunder in the city, from far and near, without looking back, Liu Yan and the captain knew that this was the Xiliang cavalry in the city that was about to be dispatched.

Turning to face the city, he saw a black torrent coming towards the city pass, and before he could get closer, an advance army was sent to the city pass, and he was loudly ordering the city guards to open the city gate, and not to delay the cavalry out of the city.

It's just that I don't know if it's bad luck, no matter how the soldiers defending the city exert their strength, this city gate just can't be opened. It didn't take long for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry led by Lu Bu to arrive at the city gate, and when he saw the city gate that had not yet been opened, his face was a little ugly.

With a move of the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, the cavalry behind him ordered a ban, and all of them stopped.

"Waste, don't open the door quickly, if you delay the fighter, it will kill you." Lu Bu's eyes were cold, and he shouted at the group of soldiers defending the city, without looking at Liu Yan who leaned out of the city when the city was closed.

Seeing the arrogance of no one in Lu Bu's eyes, although Liu Yan was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to attack, so he could only retract his body and order the captain beside him: "Send someone to open the city gate, if you can't open it inside, you will crash it open from the outside." ”

After receiving the order, the captain immediately went down the city wall, checked carefully, and found that the beam above the city gate was broken, and there were wall bricks pressing, which stuck the city gate.

Knowing the reason, it was naturally easy to deal with, on the one hand, he sent someone to deal with it quickly and open the city gate as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he immediately explained the reason to Lu Bu and asked to wait.

Lu Bu had a cold face, although he was aggrieved in his heart, he didn't say anything more, although he was domineering, he was not an unreasonable person, he only left as soon as possible, and returned to the town guard's mansion, after all, this city gate could not be made in a few minutes.

Seeing Lu Bu leaving, the captain breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't dare to slack off, he stared at it personally, and urged to deal with the problem of the city gate again and again.

The city gate here has not yet been opened, and the sound of war drums sounded in the north, which made the defenders here disturb for a while, and it was only under the repeated reprimands of the captain that they settled down, but no one cared about the city gate anymore, not only that, but the big wooden bolt of the city gate was erected again.

The soldiers on duty on the city wall also raised their vigilance, staring at the camp in the distance, after all, they all knew what the sound of war drums came from the north, and it was difficult to guarantee that the enemy army on this side would not move.

Enemy attack!

The west had survived the night's assault, and now it was the north's turn.

It's just that the north is facing the Yangtze River, and there are several large camps on the riverside, so who dares to attack Tongguan from the north?

Not long after the war drums from the north sounded, such a movement came from the north, and the roaring sound was a little trembling, just like the feeling when the western city wall was attacked last night, only much smaller.

The captain hurriedly ran up the city wall, looked around, and found that the guard Liu Yan had already gone far away and was heading north.

As soon as he wanted to catch up, a small officer next to him quickly stopped him, and without waiting for him to reprimand, he said urgently: "My lord, the general said that you should carefully hold on to the west, and you must not let the enemy troops outside the city take advantage of the opportunity." ”

After receiving the order, the captain naturally did not go again, but just looked at the north, although it was a little far away, but he could still vaguely see the black dots in the air coming towards Tongguan.

What an eventful time. sighed in his heart, and immediately ordered the soldiers on the city wall to patrol carefully and keep an eye on the outside of the city, and asked people to go to the camp under the city to give orders, so that the soldiers who were resting in rotation could prepare for battle and replenish the battlefield at any time.

The sound of war drums in the north naturally alarmed Dong Zhuo, who was guarding the town, and hurriedly ran out of his room and shouted: "Where are the war drums sounding, what happened?" ”

"My lord, the sound of war drums is coming from the north, I'm afraid there will be another war." The guards outside the door hurriedly returned.

At this time, Li Ru, Jia Xu and others also hurried over, and even Lu Bu, who had just returned, rushed here with Fang Tian's halberd.

Seeing that Lu Bu hadn't even left the city, everyone was puzzled, but they were also secretly glad that at this time, there was one more army in the city, and it was safer.

Lu Bu told him about the city gate, Dong Zhuo didn't care, he just ordered someone to bring the cavalry back to the camp, and there was no need to go out of the city to fight, and then he took everyone to the hall of the town guard mansion and waited for the news to come back.

It didn't take long for news from the north to come back, and I heard that hundreds of warships had launched an attack on Tongguan from the river, and several camps along the river had been annihilated before they could react, which immediately shocked everyone.
