Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The shouting of Hanxing City has never stopped, and in the army defending the city, some generals have no idea how many handles have been cut off from the weapons in their hands, and they are still continuing to hold their own battle lines, preventing the enemy from stepping into the thunder pool.

However, when the manpower was finally exhausted, smashing the southern city wall, due to a slight negligence of a city defender, a rebel general cut off his arm with a knife, and the rebel general jumped on the city wall in an instant, and then quickly killed several city guards around him, killing a piece of space.

Suddenly, countless rebels rushed up after him, quickly gaining a foothold on the city walls and gradually expanding to both sides.

The defending army was suddenly shocked, and several high-ranking generals around saw that the situation was not good, and immediately rushed to this side, preparing to drive down this group of rebels who had climbed the city wall.

However, this gap that has been opened is not so easy to fill, and the other side is constantly having people climb up from the siege ladder and replenish the city wall, although people are constantly being killed, but the rebels on the city wall are still increasing......

Soon, the news reached Zhang Wen's ears, and the highest official of the rebel army was suddenly in a hurry, if this Hanxing City was taken back by the rebels, not to mention how much impact it would have on the entire war, even the soldiers in the city would not be able to escape their lives. Zhang Wen cherished his life very much, although he also had some merits in history, but his own official position was mostly bought by money. How could such a person risk his life for the sake of the court?

Zhang Wen immediately asked Sun Jian to rush over, and be sure to plug the gap in the south.

Without hesitation, Sun Jian got up and ran towards the southern city wall, and as for the section of the city wall he defended, it was handed over to a pair of soldiers to deal with first.

Soon, Sun Jian arrived at the scene, and at this time, thousands of rebel soldiers had gathered on this city wall, and they completely occupied a section of the city wall that was more than 200 meters long. And in order to consolidate their results, these soldiers they sent are all the elite of the moment, the strength of the soldiers has reached the seventh order, and one of the generals has reached the strength of the king level. It is no wonder that the soldiers on this section of the city wall could not withstand the attack of these rebels.

With a wave of the weapon in Sun Jian's hand, he instantly rushed into the rebel defense line, although these people were elite, they were far from being Sun Jian's opponents. It's like an ant and a praying mantis, although the mantis is much stronger than the ant, but when their opponent is a person, they are no different from people, the only difference may be that they need to be a little more powerful when they start.

As Sun Jian opened the gap, the morale of the soldiers defending the city was greatly boosted, and they immediately rushed forward following Sun Jian's footsteps......

Soon, Sun Jian cleared out the rebels on this section of the city wall, except for the king-level strength general who made him spend some time and feet, the others were all killed in one move! Show the might of the imperial army.

However, the change of this section of the city wall was only the beginning, and the battle had gone on so far, most of the troops in the city had been killed and wounded, and there were only more than 100,000 people left, which was only enough to arrange the defense line of the entire city wall, and they had no reserve army to replace, and most of them were exhausted. Moreover, as the battle progressed, so did the deaths. In this case, holes in the walls gradually began to appear, and rebels began to pour in from more and more places.

Hanxing City was already in danger, Zhang Wen was worried about it, and at this moment, a snow-white carrier pigeon flew from a distance and landed on his shoulder. Zhang Wen immediately withdrew from the battle line, and then took out the small bamboo tube on the leg of the carrier pigeon. When he opened the letterhead inside, the expression on his face became a little lighter.

Zhang Wen immediately found a blackened stone on the spot, wrote a few words on the letterhead, and stuffed it into the bamboo tube again, allowing the carrier pigeon to take it away. Then Zhang Wen threw himself into the battlefield again.

In fact, the rebels are not having a good time now, after being taken away by Beigong Boyu with four million troops, there are only five million troops left in the entire Hanxing City battlefield, which is still powerful and after the battle began, gradually the player forces of the rebel camp returned, and these people were all sent out by Beigong Boyu to collect grain and grass before.

And these five million troops had already killed more than one million before Zhou Shen's army arrived in Hanxing City, but fortunately, the rebel players were still returning, so the overall personnel did not decrease much. Then Zhou Shen's army arrived, and Bian Zhang had to send three million troops to intercept it again, leaving the siege army with less than two million. So far, there are only more than 700,000 left of the two million troops.

If it weren't for some rule changes in this story mission, which made it impossible to resurrect soldiers with points in battled towns, I'm afraid these rebels would have been a tragedy. With the ratio of battle losses between the attacking and defending sides, if it can be resurrected, the defending side can completely solve the battle without damage.

It is not very difficult to rely on more than 700,000 troops to capture a city that is still defended by more than 100,000 troops, but it is difficult to say how many troops will be left in the end.

At this time, the battle between Bian Zhang and Zhou Shen was gradually coming to an end, which was completely a war of attrition, and the ending was difficult for both sides to accept.

In fact, at the beginning, Zhou Shenjun still occupied a certain advantage, after all, in terms of numbers, the imperial court side was more than a million more troops than the army sent by Bian Zhang to intercept, but because the army was from the three cities such as Meiyang and other long-distance raids, it cost a lot of body on the road, and the Bian Zhang army was waiting for work. At the beginning of the war, it was impossible to see the difference, but as the war progressed, the physical advantage of Bian Zhang's army gradually appeared, and the numerical advantage of Zhou Shen's army was wiped out.

Now the remaining men and horses of the two sides add up to only more than one million people, and Zhou Shenjun still has a slight advantage in numbers. Of course, some of those who were missing were killed, while others became deserters, and in such a cruel battlefield, it is normal for deserters to appear.

Perhaps the heavens did not favor the side of the Xiliang rebels, at this most critical moment, a cavalry riding a huge rhinoceros appeared from the east, and they were still making the ground tremble in order to launch a charge, which shows the huge size of those rhinoceros, and once they charge, I am afraid that no one on the side of the Xiliang rebels can stop them.

Bian Zhang was shocked, he had already heard of the origin of this terrifying heavy cavalry, it was owned by General Zhendong Sunshine, and he had heard that this cavalry had intercepted Han Sui's reinforcements and defeated them before. And there are several other powerful legions fighting with it, and now these legions are also nearby? If that's the case, then he's really gone......

Seeing this cavalry corps sweeping towards this side from a kilometer away, Bian Zhang's mind was full of thoughts, should he hold on or evacuate?

There wasn't much time for him to hesitate, Bian Zhang immediately made a decision, shouted, and said, "The whole army retreats west!" (To be continued)
