Chapter Twenty-Six: The Siege

This sentence instantly aroused Jiang Wei's fighting spirit, if it was a field battle on the flat ground, I am afraid that Jiang Wei would have killed it single-handedly.

However, the walls of Xisui City were high, and Jiang Wei couldn't fly over, so he led Guan Yinping's horse and retreated into the formation.

The soldiers of Eastern Wu at the head of the city, seeing that Jiang Wei and Guan Yinping had retreated, suddenly had high morale, shouted loudly, and shouted to the Shu army.

Pan Zhang and Pan Ping were also proud, feeling that the Shu army was nothing more than that, they had a strong city in their hands, what could Jiang Wei do to me?

Jiang Wei retreated into the formation, Zhang Xu, Hua Yan, Guan Suo and Zhuge Zhan Deng Ren hurriedly surrounded him, and Zhang Xue asked Jiang Weidao:

"What should we do if the enemy is cowering in the city and refuses to go out of the city to fight?"

Jiang Wei thought for a while, and asked Hua Wei with a smile: "Queen of Flowers, how far can your flying knife kill enemies?" ”

Hua Hu cried and laughed: "My flying knife can kill the enemy at ten steps around, and if I throw it, I can kill the enemy at most thirty steps, Jiang Wei, you don't want me to kill Pan Zhang with the flying knife, right?" My throwing knives don't have that wide range. ”

Jiang Wei replied with a smile: "It seems that your flying knife is not as far as a bow and arrow!" He immediately instructed Liang Xu's department to make a rushing car, and the ladder was ready to attack the city.

Jiang Wei assigned combat missions and adopted a formation that surrounded three and was missing one.

Jiang Weiqin led 3,000 Han troops and 5,000 barbarians to surround the north.

Hua Hu led 10,000 barbarian soldiers to surround the east, and Guan Suo led 1,000 Guanjia troops and 5,000 barbarian soldiers to surround the west.

Zhang Xue led 5,000 Wudang Fei troops to set up an ambush in the jungle to the south, and ordered the whole army to repair for the time being today, and attack the city again tomorrow.

After the assignment was completed, Guan Yinping quietly found Jiang Wei in Jiang Wei's big tent and said to Jiang Wei:

"Brother Boyo, do you dare to sneak into the city with me, kill that Pan Zhang, and avenge my father!"

Jiang Wei thought for a while and said: "Sister Yin, this is war, war has rules of war, you can't mix too many personal emotions, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you for your big revenge!" ”

Guan Yinping was a little unwilling, and said to Jiang Wei: "With your martial arts, sneaking into the city and killing Pan Zhang is definitely a chance!" ”

Jiang Wei shook his head and said to Guan Yinping:

"Yinmei, now that the soldiers and horses of Dongwu are well defended, you see the Dongwu soldiers at the head of the city, all of them are waiting for each other, how can we sneak in?"

"Even if you sneak in, no matter how high your martial arts are, you can kill ten hundred, can you really kill a thousand? Even if the martial arts are as strong as Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, they don't dare to boast of such a Haikou, the real enemy of 10,000 people does not exist! ”

Guan Yinping was still a little unwilling, Jiang Wei saw that Guan Yinping was eager for revenge, so he quickly hugged Guan Yinping into his arms and comforted her:

"Sister Yin, don't worry, I will definitely help you take revenge!"

In the evening, the camp of the Shu army had already lit a bonfire, and on the west of the city, the Wu army also lit torches, reflecting the city wall brightly.

Jiang Wei came to Liang Xu's camp to check, and there were many craftsmen in Liang Xu's camp, and there was a clanging sound.

When Jiang Wei arrived, he saw that Liang Xu had already commanded his soldiers and made more than 60 cloud ladders, each of which was five or six zhang long, which was more than enough to deal with the city walls of Xisui City.

In addition, Jiang Wei also found that Zhuge Zhan was also in Liang Xu's army, commanding the soldiers and rushing to make a rushing car.

There are wooden shields on both sides of the rushing car, and there are wheels underneath, and a huge striking log is suspended in the middle, which is as thick as one person holding. There is also an iron collapsion inlaid on the head of the crashing wood.

Jiang Wei asked Zhuge Zhan curiously: "Do you still know siege equipment?" ”

Zhuge Zhan said with some pride:

"My mother already knows a lot of the secret methods of the Mo family, such as wooden oxen and horses, crossbow arrows, and other weapons, but they were all created by my mother, but my mother is low-key, and she just borrowed the reputation of her father, I have been exposed to it since I was a child, and of course I know a little!"

Jiang Wei suddenly thought that Zhuge Zhan's mother, Huang Yueying, has a nickname called "Female Worker God", and she is very researched about all kinds of instruments.

Maybe it's genetics, Zhuge Zhan has also learned a lot, so Jiang Wei patted Zhuge Zhan's shoulder with great satisfaction and said:

"Siyuan, you kid is very talented, in the future, you will make me the wooden ox and flowing horse, Zhuge and the crossbow!"

Zhuge Zhan stuck out his tongue: "I haven't learned those yet!" ”

"Ahh ......" Jiang Wei was speechless for a while.

The two were chatting happily, but suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd, and then a flute of horns sounded in the city of Xisuicheng.

Jiang Wei hurriedly walked out of the barracks and looked towards Xisui City, but saw that a raging fire suddenly ignited in Xisui City, and three high-rise buildings in the city were ablaze.

The buildings in the city of Xisui are mostly pure wooden buildings, once ignited, the fire is very easy to spread, only to see the noise in the city, Jiang Wei wondered in his heart:

"Could it be that the Eastern Wu soldiers caught fire and set the houses in the city on fire? But it's not like three houses are on fire at the same time? ”

Jiang Wei was a little confused about the situation, and suddenly Bao Sanniang, Wang Tao, and Wang Yue came over, and said to Jiang Wei anxiously: "General Jiang Wei, my third sister is gone!" ”

Jiang Wei hurriedly asked, "What?" How could it be gone? Have you all looked for it? ”

The three of them nodded one after another, and Bao Sanniang said:

"The third sister said that she must personally cut off Pan Zhang's head to avenge her father, could it be that she really broke into the city alone?"

When Jiang Wei heard this, he was shocked, it was completely possible to sneak into the city with Guan Yinping's skills, so that the fire in the city could be explained.

"Oops!"

Jiang Wei was suddenly anxious, Guan Yinping's martial arts are not only remarkable, but also very loose, that Pan Zhang is a master who can capture Guan Yu, where is Guan Yinping's opponent?

At this moment, only by attacking the city immediately can there be a chance to rescue Guan Yinping, so Jiang Wei immediately ordered:

"Liang Xu, you ordered the ladder to be sent to the east and west, and the rest of the people followed me to attack the city immediately!"

"Yes!" Liang Xu immediately received the order and hurriedly went down to arrange.

Soon, a steady stream of Shu troops began to pour out of the camp, lined up under the leadership of their respective generals.

Zhuge Zhan personally commanded a group of soldiers, launched the rushing car, lined up in the array, and there were twenty cloud ladders in front of the array, which were ready.

Seeing this, Jiang Wei shouted in front of the battle:

"Soldiers, the city in Xisui has been set on fire by our army, and now the enemy army is in chaos, it is the time for our army to attack the city, all the soldiers, kill the enemy with me!"

The rumbling war drums suddenly sounded in the Shu army's array, and all the soldiers shouted loudly:

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Jiang Wei's spear pointed towards Xisui City, and hundreds of soldiers rushed towards the city wall with cloud ladders.

Zhuge Zhan also commanded the rushing car, and under the cover of a group of sword and shield men, he slowly advanced towards the city wall. On the city wall, bows and arrows were soon shot, and arrows were shot into the Shu army array.

When the arrows fell, many soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and more Shu soldiers were not afraid of death, and continued to rush towards the city wall, and soon twenty cloud ladders were erected on the city wall, and the soldiers began to climb the city ladder to the city.

Under the city wall, Liang Xu also commanded the soldiers to shoot at the city wall with bows and arrows to cover the siege troops.

Some soldiers rushed to the head of the city, and soon fought with the Eastern Wu soldiers on the city wall, Jiang Wei anxiously watched the soldiers attack the city, eagerly hoping that some soldiers would be able to occupy the city wall.

Not long after, Zhuge Zhan's rushing car was also pushed under the city gate, and inside the rushing car, more than a dozen soldiers swung their hammers vigorously.

Only a "boom" was heard, and the city gate was hit by a huge hammer, shaking off the smoke and dust on the ground. Soon the soldiers started a second round of impact.

The Soochow soldiers on the city gate threw rolling logs and stones towards the city, but fortunately, the car was protected by a huge shield wood and was not smashed. After a dozen consecutive hits, the city gate was already crumbling.

Jiang Wei suddenly rode forward, bursting with golden light, and when he walked in front of the rushing car, he picked up the tail of the ram with both hands, carried enough true qi, swung backwards to the limit, and then suddenly exerted his strength, and slammed the hammer towards the city gate.

With a "boom", the city gate was completely slammed open.

Jiang Wei saw that the city gate had been opened, raised his gun and shouted: "The city gate has been broken, kill the enemy with me!" ”
