"Fighters?" Zhang Xianzhong's eyes were like knives, "The fighter that seized the throne?"

When Liu Wenxiu heard this, he didn't dare to speak. He didn't expect that his words of explanation could arouse Zhang Xianzhong's suspicion.

However, all the generals gathered in Xixiang City for the New Year, but before Li Dingguo arrived, he was suddenly attacked and besieged by Azig, and a considerable part of the high-level officials of the Onishi regime were trapped in the city.

Under the onslaught of Azig for 10 days, there were many injuries.

However, the only reinforcement in Hanzhong, Li Dingguo's department, was slow to move.

It's inevitable that people will be misunderstood.

"Your Majesty, the second brother is not an unfaithful person!"

"I know his faithfulness, but to whom? You said, a month ago, the second child asked me to cooperate with the Ming army, was it really for my own good, or did I want to surrender, or was it really for the so-called national righteousness?"

Liu Wenxiu bowed, "Second brother is naturally for Your Majesty!"

"Humph!" Zhang Xianzhong snorted coldly, he knew that Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo had the best relationship, so he naturally spoke to Li Dingguo at this time.

If Li Dingguo rebelled, it was difficult for Liu Wenxiu to say which side he would stand on.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong's eyes were like knives, staring at Liu Wenxiu deadly.

Liu Wenxiu was stared at and didn't dare to speak, so he had to stand aside.

He looked to the south, looked in the direction of Zhenba City, and said in his heart: Second brother, come quickly, Xixiang is running out of ammunition and food.

Liu Wenxiu, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi are all Zhang Xianzhong's righteous sons, who have followed the Eight Kings since they were children.

Although they are Zhang Xianzhong's most famous sons, they are not Zhang Xianzhong's only four sons.

Zhang Xianzhong had countless righteous sons, a few of whom were killed by the Ming court, and most of them were killed by Zhang Xianzhong.

Four months ago, after Ai Nengqi and several others died at the hands of Jianlu, Zhang Xianzhong was left with their three righteous sons.

Now Sun Kewang is guarding Sichuan, Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo followed their father to Hanzhong, and they had a stalemate with Azig for half a year.

A few years ago, Zhang Xianzhong took advantage of the Chinese New Year to invite all the nearby generals to Xixiang to prepare for a lively New Year, not wanting to be raided by Azig's army and besieged in the city.

Fortunately, Li Dingguo was delayed and came a few days late, and Azig found out that the Daxi army was cruising nearby, so he did not dare to attack, otherwise, Zhang Xianzhong might really be trapped and killed here.

At this time, Li Dingguo stood on the top of a mountain 20 miles away, looking at Xixiang from afar.

"Second General, we've been stationed here for eight days, aren't we going to save Saigo?" Li Dingguo's lieutenant Yao Jinchun asked behind him.

"It's not time yet, Azig's main force is barely moving!"

Yao Jinchun naturally saw this, "Even so, but if you don't move like this, I'm afraid Your Majesty will blame the general!"

"Wait!" Li Dingguo's eyes were firm.

How could Li Dingguo not know that his father-in-law was suspicious, but he clearly knew that the strength of Azig's army was still there, far from the state of a tired army, and if he went to the rescue now, not only could he not break the siege, but he might fold there.

……

Outside the city of Saigo.

Azig's army has drained the waters of Saigo.

"Let those slaves keep attacking! Otherwise, the king will continue to kill their families."

Azig looked at the small earthen city, looked at the apricot yellow banner that would fall at any time, and was full of confidence.

Judging from the current situation, the city can be taken in the next two days and Hanzhong will be unified.

The infantry phalanx, composed of Han Chinese slaves, marched on the billowing yellow dust, clutched shields and siege ladders, and once again rushed towards Xixiang.

They are all people from Guanzhong and Hanzhong, and now they have all been captured by Azig and made pigtail soldiers. Their families are at the rear of the army, ready to be slaughtered at any moment for their own escape and surrender.

Therefore, the slaves braved the rain of arrows and rushed towards the earthen city.

At this time, small artillery in the Azig army also began to bombard. Suppressing the defenders of the city, trying in vain not to spend too many captives

and the Mongol soldiers captured the city and annihilated Zhang Xianzhong's group.

Azig stood in the middle of the army, looking at the siege from afar.

He thought that with only Han slaves, he could quickly capture this low earthen wall, but he didn't expect that the soldiers and horses in the city were very powerful, and they resisted the onslaught for 10 days.

The corpses of Han slaves under the city have already exceeded 30,000.

If it weren't for the winter, it would stink badly.

It stands to reason that Azig should not have attacked at this time.

However, the two forces of Daxi and Dashun in Hanzhong merged, and sometimes they attacked their own teams that went out to fight Grass Valley.

Even, the young general named Li Dingguo almost ambushed Gushan Ezhen Ashan, and even seriously injured Kong Youde once, until now, Kong Youde is still lying in the military tent, difficult to get off the ground.

It's so hateful! He must slaughter the Onishi army in Hanzhong and take revenge.

Thirteen days ago, Jianyu Tanma detected that the generals from all over Daxi traveled abnormally and rushed to the small city of Xixiang.

On the premise of detecting that there was no movement of large troops, Azig immediately made a decision, marched more than 200 miles in three days, directly surrounded Xixiang County, and immediately began a siege on all sides.

On the first day of the attack, there was no initial temptation, there was no encirclement of three missing one, and tens of thousands of people took turns to attack for a whole day.

directly frightened the people in the city and sent people out of the city to surrender.

Azig was also very generous, giving Zhang Xianzhong a day to prepare, and agreed to surrender the next day.

However, Zhang Xianzhong not only did not go out of the city, but also used his precious time to strengthen the fortifications at the head of the city.

The Eight Kings, who repeatedly surrendered to the Ming Court, played Azig.

Enraged, Azig ordered a day and night onslaught, vowing to kill all the Han people in the city and hang everyone's heads on the city.

Up to now, the attack has been going on for ten days. Most of the slaves he brought from Chenggu and Yangxian died, and he captured tens of thousands of Han people near Xixiang and continued to attack.

In the past few days, Azig saw that the reinforcements from Onishi did not dare to come to relieve the siege, and they attacked boldly.

Today, a considerable number of young and middle-aged Han women are sent to move forward with the slaves, serving as meat shields and consuming the arrows of the enemy.

At this point in the battle, the trenches outside Saigo Castle were filled in, and the ground under the city walls was raised by more than a meter.

Even if you can't take it today, you can take it tomorrow.

"Up, up! Bring those children up, and if the slave girls are slow, they will kill them!"

The lives of the Han people are not their lives, and Azig is not distressed when they are all dead.

Eventually, some of the slaves climbed to the top of the city, which showed that the defenders could not hold on!

"Let Meng Eight Banners! Total Attack! All on!" Azig yelled.

"Woo ......"

The Mongols were recuperated and full of strength these days, and soon rushed to the bottom of the city, and rushed up the siege ladder.

Zhang Xianzhong received the news of the general attack of the Mongol soldiers, and immediately ascended to the top of the city and personally commanded it.

The men and horses of both sides fought repeatedly on the city walls.

Fortunately, the Great Western Army in the city is Zhang Xianzhong's personal guard, with excellent armor and high-quality weapons.

Azig quickly saw the general of the city in the west, and from his outfit, he could guess that this was definitely a general, and even this was Zhang Xianzhong himself.

"Bring the bow!" Azig drank.

Azig took the hard bow presented by the soldiers, led the army to step forward, pressed not far from the city wall, and stared at Zhang Xianzhong, who was standing at the head of the city and commanding.

I saw Azig twist the sharp arrow, put it on the bow, and looked at it with all his attention.

"Whoosh......

A sharp arrow pierces through the air!
