The city wall in the northwest corner of Erlong City. Zhang Sheng looked at the smoke billowing under the city. Mu Qi, the mood is extremely heavy. The armies of Ma Teng and Han Sui arrived before Zhang Xiu and Huang Zhong's reinforcements, and 80,000 Xiliang troops came to Chang'an City. Zhang Xian vaguely saw several people dressed as generals watching the city around Chang'an City, thinking that they were looking for the weak point of the city's defense to attack.

Zhang Xian didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the whole city to be on guard, but fortunately, when Xu Huang went to support Huang Zhong, he had already instructed Zhang Xian to prepare the tools to defend the city, and what rolling wood, radium, and boiling oil were prepared. After Zhang Xian gave the order to be on guard, the soldiers moved the weapons that had been prepared to defend the city to the top of the city.

In the afternoon, after the net, I only heard the war drums under Chang'an City. The trumpet was also sounded.

"Knock knock,"

"Woooooooo

The powerful sound of the drum shook Zhang Xian's heart, and the desolate sound of the horn made his heavy heart fall to the bottom. The big war was inevitable, Zhang Xian stared at the city, only to see the Xiliang army rushing out of the camp, at this time they had already dismounted their horses, carrying the ladder and rushing to Chang'an City, just looking at the number of people, no less than 10,000 people.

At this time, two heralds came to Zhang Xian and reported: "General, the North City Gate is urgent, the Xiliang army has about 10,000 people attacking the North City Gate, and another herald also reported: "General, the South City Gate is urgent, the Xiliang army has about 10,000 people attacking the South City Gate."

Zhang Xian heard this, his face was already so dark that he couldn't be darker, and said loudly: "Go back and tell the guards of the north and south gates, if you can defend it, you must defend it, and if you can't defend it, you must defend it, and the west gate of the general is still increasing troops at this time, but I am afraid that the attack force will not be less than 20,000 people." ”

The two heralds heard this, looked at each other, and replied helplessly: "No,"

After the two heralds left, Zhang Xian summoned the captain of the guard and asked, "Have you sent a letter to the lord and General Huang asking for help?" ”

The captain of the guard replied: "The young general has always had a letter of request for help these days, and the messenger network that went to deliver a letter of request for help to the lord just now left from the East City Gate. It's just that now that the Xiliang army has blocked the northwest, the messenger to General Huang can't pass the blockade of the Xiliang army at all, so as not to accidentally reveal the news. Therefore, the messenger was not allowed to ask General Huang for a letter of help

Zhang Xian nodded helplessly, and said to the captain of the guard: "Go to the East City Gate and transfer two thousand soldiers." ”

The captain of the guard said: "General, if you transfer two thousand defenders from the east gate, there will only be five hundred defenders at the east gate.

Zhang Xian saw that the attack of the Xiliang army was getting closer and closer, and shouted: "I can't delay it any longer, I can only fight, there are only 2,500 defenders at the West City Gate, even if the city is defended, it can't block the attack of 20,000 troops for a long time, transfer the defenders of the East City Gate, maybe you can still keep it up, go quickly."

The last sentence, Zhang Xian almost shouted, and the captain of the personal guard responded, and hurriedly rushed to the east gate to mobilize the guards. Only 10,000 troops under Zhang Xiansuo were stationed in Chang'an. If you are defending some small towns or checkpoints, an army of 10,000 can still be defended for a while. But for a big city like Chang'an, the equal distribution of each side of the city defense is 2,500 soldiers, and for the huge Chang'an City, 10,000 troops can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.

"Knock knock, knock knock

"Woo woo, woo woo".

The agitated war drums were beating faster and faster, and the horns were blowing more and more urgently, and Zhang Xian, who was above the city, had already vaguely seen the faces of the Xiliang soldiers. Zhang Xian raised his hand and shouted first: "Archer Zhuyu."

A thousand archers drew their big bows into a full moon, and the sound of "crunch" "crunch" kept coming.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Zhang Xian gave an order, and a thousand archers released the sharp arrows that held the bowstring tightly. Wanben's taut bow suddenly loosened, and he said, "Hum." Echo of the moment.

can

A thousand sharp arrows flew out, intertwined into a net of arrows in mid-air, and headed towards the Xiliang sergeant under the city.

"Ding, "dang", poof"

The sound of sharp arrows hitting the weapon and the armor stomach couldn't help but sound, as well as the sound of shooting into the flesh and blood of the Xiliang soldiers, and there were many screams, the sound of gold and iron, and the shouting of killing formed a unique vocal music on the battlefield.

Zhang Xian had a cold face and shouted mercilessly: "The archers are ready to "release arrows" and "release arrows".

As Zhang Xian's order was issued, the archers above the city kept pulling their bows and releasing arrows, and the sharp arrows couldn't stop flying out one after another, causing a continuous rain of arrows to pour ruthlessly on the charging Xiliang army. When the charging Xiliang army rushed to the foot of Chang'an City, it left nearly 2,000 people.

Zhang Xian looked at the Xiliang army, who was like ants and kept climbing along the ladder towards the city, and shouted: "Prepare radium, release!" ”

On average, three to five soldiers on the head of the city worked together to lift the stones, and then placed them on top of the women's wall, and pushed them together. The radium stone rolled down the ladder that rested on the female wall. The Xiliang soldiers who climbed on the ladder had no way to dodge, and after being hit by a huge abomination stone, the whole person fell to the ground, and the city wall of Chang'an was already high, and fell from such a high place to the hard soil, and the soldiers of the Xiliang army died on the spot immediately. When stepping on the middle of the second and third ladders, the huge weight made the ladder overwhelmed. From. A wave of six ladders disconnected, and some of the soldiers who remained on the ladder fell to the hard soil along with the remains of the ladder, either seriously injured or killed on the spot.

Above the city, Zhang Xian was unmoved, and shouted coldly: "Prepare to roll wood", let's go! ”

"Rumble" a huge rolling log was thrown down the city by the defenders above the city, and the top of the ladder climbed up and hit the Xiliang army under the city to the head and blood.

Above the city, Zhang Xian snorted coldly again: "Prepare to boil oil, here!" ”

A pot of boiling oil was poured into the city, and the hot oil immediately poured the Xiliang soldiers into the flesh, and the smell of meat wafted up to the city. At the same time, the screams of the Xiliang soldiers were several points more tragic than the previous ones, which showed the power of the boiling oil.

The boiling oil was brought down, Zhang Xian did not hesitate at all, and continued to drink: "Prepare the fire oil, pour!" Preparing the ...... of the rocket Put! Throw torches...... Throw torches

The fire oil was brought down by the soldiers above the city, and the fire oil emitted a pungent smell when it fell under the city. After a few "whoosh" sounds, nearly 100 rockets kept falling, ready to fall on the oil, and dozens of torches were also thrown down by the soldiers above the city.

With a "boom", the fire oil under the city was immediately ignited. It quickly spread to both sides, igniting all the corpses, rolling logs, ladder wreckage, and other combustible items, and the fire suddenly burned under a section of the city wall near the west gate.

The fire kept burning, and the Xiliang soldiers who were in the sea of fire kept screaming, and some of them saw the fire oil poured on the city early, so they immediately retreated backwards and escaped, but many Xiliang soldiers couldn't avoid it, and they were directly engulfed by the fire.

Zhang Xian's defensive method was actually learned from Huang Zhong when he was in the Sword Pavilion, and even the order of operation was almost identical, so it could be said that it was completely the same as the scoop. However, the situation of the Sword Pavilion is different from the situation in Chang'an, the city wall of Chang'an is wide, although Zhang Xian turned this section of the West City Gate into a sea of fire, forcing the Xiliang army to not attack the city gate. However, instead of retreating, they scattered to the north and south, erecting ladders and continuing the attack from the north and south ends of the western wall.

Seeing the head of the city, Zhang Xian immediately commanded his soldiers to attack and defend, and at this time, the two thousand defenders of the east city gate arrived, and Zhang Xian asked them to join the battlefield immediately. Just as Zhang Xian couldn't stop giving orders, Zhang Xian suddenly felt a gust of cold wind coming from the front. Zhang Xian heard the captain of the guard shouting, "General, be careful. Then he was vigorously pushed aside by the captain of the guard. When Zhang Xian turned his head to look over, he saw a sharp arrow that went straight through the head of the captain of the guard, and he died on the spot. I believe that if it weren't for the captain of the guard to push Zhang Xian away, I'm afraid it would be Zhang Xian who died.

ten thousand

Zhang Xian was shocked and angry, the enemy general's archery skills were extraordinary, in Zhang Xian's opinion, I am afraid that only Huang Zhong, Tai Shici and others in the army can compare with this person's archery skills. Zhang Xian didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately dodged and hid behind the female wall, he knew that he had become the target of the enemy's shooting, and his martial arts were not high, so he didn't dare to show his face.

At this moment, a soldier with broken clothes and armor and covered in blood rushed to Zhang Xian and said: "General, the north gate of the city is lost, and the guard Lord Ding died in battle, and Lord Ding asked the villain to report the matter to the general before he died." ”

I love to learn from the network to call Xi Xin" uploaded by netizens

When Zhang Xian heard this, he was shocked, he didn't expect the North City Gate to be breached so quickly, and it was too late to ask what had happened. At this moment, another soldier with broken clothes and armor and covered in blood rushed to Zhang Xian and said, "General, the south gate is lost, and the guard Lord Li is killed in battle."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xian said: "Needless to say, Ben will already know." ”

The adjutant general on Zhang Xian's side heard it and said: "General, there is no war at the East City Gate now, retreat from the East City Gate quickly, stay in the green mountains, and he can make a comeback one day." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xian shook his head and said: "No, the city is in the people, and the city is dead!" And General Huang and the main reinforcements are probably coming, if the general can hold on, he may be able to wait for reinforcements. Then he said to the adjutant general: "You take a few relatives to leave from the east city gate, and go to report this matter to the lord, if the lord's army is close to Chang'an City, let him enter the army, if it is too far, just "say that I am loyal to Zhang Xian, and if there are still old people in the family, please ask the lord to take care of them." ”

The deputy general was humble and said loudly: "General, no, the north and south gates have been captured, Chang'an is no longer defensible, the general is still retreating, and the last general will be cut off here." ”

Zhang Xian heard it and said: "You don't need to say much, let's go, today I, Zhang Xian, will live and die with Chang'an City." Then he instructed his two attendants, saying, "Take him away, we will not be annihilated, but one of us will have a message for the Lord." ”

The two relatives listened and replied with tears in their eyes: "General Nuo take care," and after speaking, he took the adjutant general down the city and looked east.

Zhang Xian stood up again, looked at the swarming Xiliang army, and drew the short knife at his waist. "Come on, kill!" "After speaking, he pounced on the Xiliang army that had rushed to the city with a knife, if you want to know what happened next, please land on the mountain, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!
