Outside Chang'an, the offensive of the Han army was very fierce.

Thunderbolts and bed crossbows kept pouring ammunition and arrows towards Chang'an City, and the west of Chang'an City was full of smoke.

The huge siege tower kept approaching the Wei army's city wall, and the Shu army crossbowmen on the tower also kept shooting at the Wei army on the city wall, hoping to suppress the Wei army.

The Wei army relied on the height of the city wall to bless, the arrows shot were hugely powerful, and the Shu army was not inferior to the Wei army because of the large array of bed crossbows, and the two sides were fighting fiercely.

Chang'an City, as a giant city in the world, has never been breached by anyone since it was broken by Ma Chao with 100,000 Xiliang soldiers. During this period, Wei continued to strengthen Chang'an's city defenses.

On the city wall of Chang'an City, there are not only many arrow towers, but also many giant crossbows, small trebuchets, and a large number of defensive facilities such as fire oil, rolling wood, and stones.

Therefore, even in the face of the Shu army's flood of offensives, the Wei army's defense was not inferior, once the Shu army's siege towers entered the range of the Wei army, they began to suffer from the Wei army's giant crossbows and trebuchets on the city wall.

Although the Shu army kept launching fire cover against the Wei army, after all, the Wei army occupied a geographical advantage, so there were still several siege towers hit by the trebuchets on the Wei army's city wall, and the Wei army's trebuchets fired fire bombs, which could not only smash through the siege towers, but also ignite the siege towers.

On the siege tower hit by the Wei army, the soldiers of the Shu army were scorched by the raging flames, and could only jump down in a desperate volley, as high as four feet of siege vehicles, so that the soldiers of the Shu army who jumped down would be killed when they landed, even if they were lucky to survive, they were seriously injured and dying.

"Governor, Chang'an City is strong and well-defended, it seems that it is not easy to fight!" Wang Ping said to Jiang Wei on the side.

Jiang Wei had a solemn expression on his face, he had already prepared for the difficulty of attacking Chang'an City, but he also knew very well in his heart that he had to do his best to fight Chang'an, and there were not too many tricks to play, after all, Xiahou Nan, the guard of Chang'an City, was a super turtle who was scared by Zhuge Kongming, and the usual strategy would never be able to lure Xiahou Mao out.

But from the war some time ago, Jiang Wei clearly judged this conclusion in his heart, so Jiang Wei said to Wang Ping:

"Zijun, now we are fighting Chang'an, it is to race against time, after all, Chang'an is too important for Cao Wei, once Chang'an starts, we will instantly rise to Cao Wei's number one enemy, Cao Wei's counterattack must be unprecedentedly strong, this war drags on for too long is not good for our army, so our army must attack with all our strength, and the sooner the war ends."

Zhuge Zhan was puzzled: "Brother Boyo, aren't you planning to attack Chang'an in three months?" ”

Jiang Wei said with a smile: "That's the worst plan, if you can't beat Chang'an in three months, then our army's Northern Expedition will definitely have failed, because by that time, the Wei army will definitely be heavily gathered, and the difficulty of fighting Chang'an can be imagined." ”

"But at present, it seems that our army's attack is not very smooth, it is difficult for the siege tower to approach the city wall, and it is difficult for the thunderbolt to break down the city wall, and the defense of Chang'an City is stronger and stronger than any city we have encountered before."

Jiang Wei's eyes were solemn, and he said to Zhuge Zhan:

"The top priority is to destroy the city gate, no matter how difficult Chang'an City is, it will not be completely impossible to defeat, when Ma Chao can break through Chang'an City, our army will definitely be able to do it, even if Chang'an City is an iron turtle, even if he breaks his teeth, we have to bite him to pieces and eat it!"

Wang Ping suddenly thought that Ma Chao broke Chang'an back then, and Ma Dai was also involved, so he said: "Governor, do you want to find Ma Dai and ask Ma Chao how he broke Chang'an back then?" ”

Jiang Wei shook his head, how did Ma Chao break Chang'an, Jiang Wei actually knew very well in his heart that Ma Chao captured Chang'an back then, mainly relying on sneak attacks.

At that time, Ma Teng had nominally served Cao Cao, so there were many old Xiliang in Chang'an City. Moreover, the pattern of the world at that time was completely different, there were no famous generals stationed in Chang'an City, and there was no large army group, Ma Chao only dealt with the troops guarding Chang'an and nearby towns, scattered and low combat effectiveness, and there were neither generals nor reinforcements.

And Jiang Wei is facing this time an important town that has been operated by Cao Wei for many years, and there are generals guarding it and hoarding heavy troops, so Ma Chao's idea of breaking Chang'an does not have much reference significance for Jiang Wei.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wei's heart was even more determined to storm Chang'an, and he stood on a high place, looking at the fierce battle situation ahead.

Several siege towers had been pushed onto the wooden bridge made of siege engines, and they were soon approaching the tall walls of Chang'an City. Seeing that the siege tower was finally about to attack the city wall, Jiang Wei ordered the fire beast siege vehicle to fight.

The west gate of Chang'an City has three gates, and each gate has three huge door openings, so Jiang Wei sent nine fire beast siege vehicles at one time, hoping to quickly break through some of them.

As soon as any of the gates were breached, the gates to victory were opened.

When the fire beast siege vehicles came out one after another, attacking the gate of Chang'an City, the first siege tower finally approached the gate of Chang'an City.

On the siege tower, hundreds of heavily armed Shu soldiers were ready, and when the springboard fell, they would rush up to kill the city.

Under the command of a Shu army officer, with a bang, the heavy springboard on the siege tower fell with a bang, and the front end of the springboard was equipped with an iron hook, once it hit the city wall, it tightly fastened the city wall, plus the weight of the springboard itself, the Wei army basically could not set the springboard away again.

More than 100 Shu soldiers on the top floor of the siege tower suddenly shouted loudly and rushed towards the wall of Chang'an City, who expected that the Wei army suddenly threw more than a dozen canisters of fire oil towards the crowded crowd of the Shu army, and the oil canisters were thrown on the Shu army and smashed to the ground, and the oil instantly splashed everywhere.

Soon the Wei army threw torches from the city, boom, the torches quickly ignited the oil of fire, the raging fire rose to the sky, and instantly wrapped all the Shu troops on the siege tower, the Shu army on fire suddenly panicked, desperately shouted for help, some rushed to the city head desperately, and some were squeezed off the siege tower.

When Jiang Wei saw this scene, he was immediately anxious, if the Wei army used this trick repeatedly, then all the siege towers would definitely encounter the same problem, even if the siege towers were close to the city walls, the Han army would not be able to attack them.

Jiang Weimeng remembered that there was still a piece of Qinglong Treasure Jade on his body, and then looked at the deep river in the moat of Chang'an City, and suddenly, a plan surged in his heart.

Immediately, he said to Zhuge Zhan: "Little Zhuge , you and I will act separately and use water spells to deal with the fire oil attack on the city, otherwise our siege tower will not be able to attack it." ”

Zhuge Zhan nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, Brother Boyo lends me your Qinglong Baoyu, and I can drain all the water of this river, pour it all on the heads of the Wei soldiers at the head of the city, and wash them all under the city wall." ”

Jiang Wei shook his head: "If you do that, it is estimated that your life will not be guaranteed, and the Qinglong Baoyu will still be left to me, after all, I have the True Qi Protector passed on by your father, and the backlash of the Qinglong Baoyu is not as serious as you on me."
