When Xu Gan's troops were fifty steps away from the south gate of Huaicheng, they saw that there were only a few people on the top of Huaicheng, and some of these few people were holding kitchen knives, some were holding sickles, some were holding javelins, some were holding hoes, some were holding round stones in their hands, and some were holding slingshots. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Xu Gan's well-equipped and well-trained troops saw the "defenders" of Huaicheng and laughed "crazy" one by one as their general, Lord Xu Gan.

Xu Gan was strict in governing the army, requiring soldiers to be ready for war at all times on the battlefield, but in front of this big joke, he laughed and bent over his troops. Xu Gan did not punish his soldiers, and after resting for a while and being able to breathe well, Xu Gan led his soldiers to continue to slowly march towards the south gate of Huaicheng. When they were twenty steps away from Huaicheng, Xu Gan and his troops stopped, and the south gate of Huaicheng was actually open!

The man with the slingshot on Huaicheng loaded the slingshot with stones and launched an attack on Xu Gan's soldiers. The stones hit Xu Gan's soldiers on their faces and bodies, leaving red marks one after another. Xu Gan's archers aimed at the soldiers of Huaicheng on the city wall and shot them down one by one.

Xu Gan didn't care about these little things that had just happened.

"With my many years of battlefield experience, a weak city gate that has been attacked in a war is often ambushed inside the city gate, but the soldiers of Huaicheng are fighting fiercely with Lu Bei, how can someone ambush here, if there is no one in ambush at the south gate of Huaicheng, how dare they open the city gate wide?"

Xu Gan thought in contradiction.

"Lord Xu Gan, it must be the soldiers of Huaicheng who panicked and forgot to close the south gate of Huaicheng. ”

Lu Tong, one of Xu Gan's subordinate generals, saw Xu Gan's concerns and said to Xu Gan.

"They launched an attack very quickly, and it was impossible for soldiers from other cities to come to help the Huaicheng people defend Huaicheng, Lu Tong said it reasonably. ”

Xu Gan thought in his heart.

"Attack Huaicheng. ”

Xu Gan raised the bronze sword in his hand and pointed at the south gate of Huaicheng. Xu Gan stood still and did not move, and Xu Gan's troops attacked the south gate of Huaicheng. In fact, it is better to attack, and it is better to enter, because there is no one at the south gate of Huaicheng to resist Xu Gan's troops.

After thinking about it, Han Bing ordered the soldiers defending the city to open the south gate of Huaicheng. When the soldiers defending the city heard this, they thought they had heard it wrong, and it was not until they heard Han Xing's order again that they confirmed it.

"Han Bing, you are a temporary commander, and the important task of guarding the south gate is entrusted to you, you can't treat the expectations of Han Yu and Li Che as child's play!"

"I volunteered to stand up and serve as the commander of the south gate of Huaicheng, I must always keep in mind the heavy responsibility given to me by Han Yu and Li Che, but my soldiers or my fathers and fellow villagers, think about it, you see, our army has the strength of Xu Gan, and our weapons have the sharpness of Xu Gan's troops? If we keep holding the city gate, we will still be breached by Xu Gan in the end, in order to live up to the trust of Han Yu and Li Che, I can only adopt this strategy. ”

When the soldiers defending the city heard Han Bing's strategy, they felt that this strategy was too risky, and once it failed, the consequences would be unimaginable, and they were still unwilling to open the south gate of Huaicheng.

"I am the commander of the troops at the South Gate, and if anyone dares to disobey my orders, they will be killed. ”

The south gate of Huaicheng was opened. Han Bing instructed Han Hai, the person next to him, to tell him something. After receiving the order, Han Hai ran away with the sickle in his hand.

Han Bing observed that Xu Gan's troops were halfway past and raised a tattered bronze sword in his hand.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, kill. ”

The Huaicheng soldiers with kitchen knives, sickles, javelins, and hoes who were lying in ambush on the walls of Huaicheng rushed down from the walls together, while soldiers with stones and slingshots remained on the walls. Xu Gan's troops were frightened by the Huaicheng soldiers who suddenly rushed down. Xu Gan saw that his troops were being ambushed and panicked.

"Let us not mess with our own positions, take up the sharp weapons in your hands, and go and kill the rabble. ”

After Xu Gan's soldiers heard Xu Gan's order, the panic in their hearts decreased a lot, and they picked up the weapons in their hands and fought a bloody battle with the soldiers at the south gate of Huaicheng. The men with stones and slingshots on the walls of Huaicheng were aimed at the bows and arrows that were still under the outer walls of Huaicheng, and the archers who had not yet entered threw stones and hit stones. The archers had no other weapons in their hands, and they didn't have time to put their arrows on their bows, and they screamed under the walls.

The archers retreated a hundred paces, and the rest of the soldiers continued to fight the rabble of the city. ”

Twenty of Xu Gan's archers were stoned to death, ten were blinded by slingshots, and countless others were slightly wounded. After Xu Gan led his archers back to a hundred paces, the soldiers with stones and slingshots on the walls of Huaicheng could not throw stones and stones or hit them that far, and temporarily stopped attacking the archers. Han Bing, who was standing on the city wall and commanding the war, saw Xu Gan's soldiers retreat a hundred steps back.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, Xu Gan's archers are preparing to launch an attack on our Huaicheng, ready to resist Xu Gan's arrows. ”

The soldiers on the wall of Huaicheng were divided into two groups, one holding a stone or slingshot, and the other holding a hoe that had been taken from home and placed on the city wall (the young men of Huaicheng brought all the hoes from their homes to the battlefield one by one for the needs of war).

Xu Gan ordered the bow troops, who had already set up their bows and arrows, to advance fifty paces, ready to shoot at the soldiers on the walls of Huaicheng. Xu Gan's archers stopped fifty paces away from Huaicheng, drew their strong bows and aimed at the soldiers on the walls of Huaicheng and began to storm on. Arrows rained down from the sky like raindrops through the rain. The heavy rain resisted some of the strength of the bow and arrows, and the soldiers with the hoes used their hoes to block the arrows that came at them. Arrows fell under the walls, but some of the soldiers on the walls of Huai were shot or killed by arrows.

Xu Gan's troops, except for the archery troops, all entered Huaicheng. After all, the soldiers at the south gate of Huaicheng are all composed of the people of Huaicheng, and the weapons in their hands are not sharp. For every two soldiers at the south gate of Huaicheng, they could kill one soldier of Xu Gan. Xu Gan's troops slaughtered the soldiers at the south gate of Huaicheng and retreated. Han Xing waved the bronze sword in his hand.

"My fathers and fellow villagers, for the sake of our Huaicheng and for the leaders of our Chinese nation, we would rather die in battle than take a step back. “

"Fight to the end!"

The soldiers at the south gate of Huaicheng shouted one by one, puffing themselves up and their brothers and companions.
