Chapter 348: Sleepiness

said that Liu Hui told Zhang Xiang all his plans, and then Zhang Xiang didn't hide it.

He also told Liu Hui that they had already made up their minds to defect to the Taishan army.

It turned out that since the two assaults of the Taishan Army, the Flying Dragon and the Flying Tiger, rushed to the border between Zhao and Changshan, that is, the area of the Bairen, the heroic rangers in the south of Changshan were boiling.

They had heard too much about the great exploits of the Taishan Army.

In particular, the battle of Xingyang is well-known to the world, and after the breakthrough of Aocang, it is more than 100,000 poor people in Qiantou who are up and down the river, so that everyone knows that this is a righteous army.

In the eyes of Qianshou, the Taishan Army is a righteous army, and in the eyes of Haoqiang, the Taishan Army is a violent army.

But these are not important to the heroic rangers of Changshan, because in their eyes, the Taishan Army is the biggest force that can win Hebei, and these people have long wanted to defect to the Taishan Army for the sake of wealth and wealth.

Don't say anything that will divide their land, I'm sorry, our rangers have nothing but this knife in their hands.

So they didn't lose anything, but they gained the possibility of pouring wealth and wealth, which makes them not excited.

And like Zhang Xiang, although he seems to have some family background, he is actually a hunter who relies on the mountains to eat. Therefore, Zhang Xiang had already discussed with some nearby rangers, and planned to go south to join the Taishan army.

And now his old master Liu Hui is also here, and he is also going to join the Taishan Army.

At this moment, Zhang Xiang felt that the Taishan army was more aggressive.

After all, in Zhang Xiang's eyes, his old master is the real princely family and the ruling class of the Han family.

So, Zhang Xiang introduced some heroes in the neighborhood to Liu Hui, such as Bu Sheng, Zhang Yan, Li Feng, Guo Chao, etc., all of whom were nearby warriors. In addition, dozens of miscellaneous beards were also added to the list.

Unlike most people who think that Hebei is full of Han people, in fact, many Hu people have been living in Hebei. For example, Changshan and Zhongshan were the land of Rong Di back then, and after the back was Huaxia, there were still many tribes and Rong people who lived together.

In the following hundreds of years, there was a steady stream of grassland Hu people from the generation to Changshan, although there was no household, but also in the Changshan area.

Therefore, these dozens of miscellaneous beards are similar to the wild people in the mountains, and this time they were shouted by Zhang Xiang to make a strong noise.

After all the heroes knew that Liu Hui was the king of Zhending, they pushed him to the master. And Liu Hui also took the lead, first swore an oath, then cut the wood for the soldiers, and the cracked clothes for the flag, and took more than 100 people south to join the Taishan army.

The first year of Chengtian, the first year of Guanghe, March 10.

In the west of Xiangguo City, the camp of Mount Tai Army is the head of the mountain.

At this time, half a month has passed since the Taishan army besieged Xiangguo City, and the various engineering equipment in the camp has been built. The officers of the battalions were full of horses in the continuous supply behind.

It seems that the time for the siege is coming.

So, Guan Yu called all the generals of Dian Wei and his main attack to the camp to inquire about the combat readiness.

After years of fighting, Dian Wei has grown into a qualified commander.

At this moment, he did not smile, and led the next cadre of the army into the big tent of the Chinese army.

After meeting Guan Yu, Dian Wei and the others sat separately.

They all knew what Guan Yu was calling them for.

Like Qu Shuai Zhang Chong, Guan Yu is also a strategic, able to withstand the situation, and a calm coach. Although all items are still a little bit worse than Qu Shuai, old subordinates such as Dian Wei have a lot of respect for Guan Yu.

knew that Guan Yu was the most powerful in the army, so even if it was night, Dian Wei and other generals still put on helmets and armor, and put them into the account.

Because of his understanding of Guan Yu's style, Dian Wei directly introduced the previous main attack tactics.

Dian Wei can be summed up in four words:

"One step at a time."

Dian Wei wanted to give full play to the advantages of the Taishan army's sufficient combat preparation and abundant troops, and was not in a hurry to attack the city wall, but first dug trenches and stacked barriers, and advanced to the city layer by layer.

After that, the watchtowers and strong crossbows were used to continuously harass the Han army at the head of the city.

This was followed by a bombardment of the city with a stone cart to hit the morale of the city. Wait until the morale of the city is and

When the reserves are exhausted, organize a siege. And so it can be decided in one go.

In fact, Dian Wei did exactly what he did in the past half a month.

Now the camp had advanced to a position only five hundred paces from the city wall, three giant nest carts had been pushed to the front of the barracks, and twenty stone generators had been set up on the high slopes of the camp.

Just wait for Dian Wei to give an order, and the first wave of attacks on the city can be launched.

So Dian Wei came to ask for his life this time.

"All the officials are ready, just waiting for the order of the commander."

Dian Wei said.

Guan Yu smiled and said:

"Now that you have a plan, go ahead and do it. I'll watch you break the city right here in the camp."

Dian Wei stood up and sang to Guan Yu.

The next day, Dian Weirong stood on a chariot and said loudly to the frustration at the head of the city:

"Is the city frustrated in front of you? Will you hear me count?"

Under the cover of several decks of cards, he looked at Dian Wei below, and replied loudly:

"I'm frustrated, just say whatever you want."

As if reciting, Dian Wei reported the prepared words of persuasion:

"Today's matter has gone, and the so-called Han family you are holding on to is no longer there, and you are sticking to the dangerous city, is it for the court in the east or the court in the west? I don't think they look down on you, so why should you?"

Frustrated, he grabbed the head of the city and scolded:

"You're a rough embryo, and you're going to be tongue-in-cheek. I am frustrated and loyal, how can I be a person with a surname, I am loyal to the name and righteousness. And the thieves of the other generation are all unfaithful and unrighteous people, how can they know my thoughts?"

When Dian Wei heard this, he turned to a scribe on the side and said:

"Feng Sheng, this is different from what you said. Aren't you incomprehensible? Why did I say these crepe words, and I was still humiliated by this person before the battle? If you want me to say, talk to the fuck and kill him."

The scribe on the side was Feng Fang, who was a little embarrassed at the moment, but he changed quickly, and immediately complimented Dian Wei:

"That's right, General Dian is simple, let's just do it."

Dian Wei no longer paid attention to Feng Fang, who was not in good spirits, and waved the yellow triangular flag in his hand.

Thus, sixteen cowhide drums were beaten behind the chariot.

"Squeak"

First, twenty stone machines, under the command of a muscular man, put polished stone bullets on the long arm, and then under the command of a small military officer:

"Put!"

Twenty polished stone bullets hit Xiangguo Castle on the opposite side.

Because these stone bullets are almost polished, they are slightly more accurate. But even then, only two of them hit the city, and the others all hit the city.

But just these two also smashed the city to rot.

The Han army had used a stone machine to hit the Qingzhou Yellow Turban before, so he naturally recognized these things. But they never thought that the power of this Taishan Army's stone machine would be so great.

The generals on the side of Fu Zhi were already so frightened that they hugged Fu Zhi and left the city, for fear that the stone bullet would kill him.

The results of the first round of launches were not satisfactory.

The Taishan Army quickly adjusted the distance and began the second round of launches. This time, fifteen of the twenty rounds were hit, and the accuracy was undoubtedly greatly improved.

After that, the stone locomotive of the Taishan army continued to throw stones at the head of the city at this distance.

In a blink of an eye, the 200 stone bullets polished in half a month were consumed here.

At this time, the city of Xiangguo has changed its appearance, and the original shed poles have been broken, and from time to time there are Han soldiers who let out a terrifying wail.

But even so, except for a few places where the turning stones collapsed, the rest of Xiangguo City was intact. It seems that it is difficult to defeat Xiangguo with only a stone machine.

After glancing at the situation in the city, Dian Wei waved down the second red flag.

The Qingzhou army, which had been waiting for a long time, began to charge forward under the leadership of their respective military officers with their chariots and trench chariots.

() In the south of Xiangguo, which is a hundred miles away from the fighting.

At this time, on the wilderness, Zhang Nan and Guo Mo, who were supposed to be stationed in Yiyang, were retreating to the nearest stronghold to them, Tantai, with seven hundred remnants in embarrassment.

In the team, Feng Ling, a lewd county official, was also listed. He looked at the seven hundred soldiers who were defeated, but they could still ensure the order of retreat, and couldn't help but nod:

"It's a strong soldier."

But why didn't such a strong soldier hold Yiyang?

Feng Ling herself didn't know very well. I only knew that he was working in the military office yesterday, and suddenly heard a boiling outside, and then saw Zhang Nanjia rushing in with a wave of soldiers with blood.

At that time, Feng Ling was startled, thinking that the Taishan army was fighting internally and wanted to kill these old people.

However, Zhang Nan burned the eucalyptus in the city, and retreated from the west of the city with the county officials, including Feng Ling.

At that time, the city was already in chaos, with shouts of killing everywhere, and then there were close gates on all sides, and it was obvious that the people in the city were afraid and did not want to get involved in the fighting outside.

After fighting out of the city, Zhang Nan and Guo Mo retreated lightly with 700 remnants, and there were no pursuers on the road. It seems that the men have gone to the city and ransacked it.

Well, those people don't know that if they don't make a choice, it's the worst choice. The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and not all the armies that enter the city will be like the Taishan army.

In fact, Zhang Nan, like Feng Ling, didn't know what to lose the city.

On the way, Zhang Nan still knew the details of the loss of the city from several informed subordinates, especially Guo Sheng, the guard of the eastern city, and Zhang Nan knew that the Han cavalry who attacked the city was the one a month ago.

According to the defenders of the city at that time, a group of Han cavalry suddenly came out of the dense forest north of the city, and the Taishan army in the city did not have time to react, and was killed by the Han army into the city.

Some say, "Why are the gates open?"

In fact, it is difficult to keep the gate closed forever in this world, whether it is out of the city to collect wood or supplies, you have to open the door.

At that time, after Zhang Nan and the others defeated the attacking Han cavalry more than half a month ago, there was no enemy for many days. In this case, the soldiers in the city are a little slack.

Who knew that Gao Ran didn't leave at all after he failed to attack Yi Yang before. They raided some nearby towns to replenish supplies, and then they kept secretly observing the situation in Yiyang City with light horses.

This Gao Ran is also able to endure, lurking for more than a month, and finally caught the slackness of the Taishan army.

After that, more than 1,000 elite horsemen went out day and night, lurking outside Yiyang City, and in the early morning, Fo Xiao took advantage of the Qiao Cai in the city to directly launch an attack.

Zhang Nanzi didn't know about this. But soon he knew why the Han cavalry was so persistent in attacking Yi Yang.

Not long after the team traveled north, Guo Mo, who was leading the troops to reconnoitre, brought a piece of news:

"There's a great army coming from the east, lurking quickly."

Then Zhang Nan and Guo Mo took their troops to hide in a mountain recess, and then they saw a scene they had never imagined.

I saw a large army coming along the official road, with sparkling carriages and horses, and the sun shining in fine armor. The countless flags fluttered in the wind, and finally let Zhang Nan and the others see clearly where this team was.

It turned out that it was Julu Taishou Guo Dian who came here, and in order to support the frustration of Xiangguo, he raised 15,000 troops in the county and poured his troops south.

The previous Gaolan cavalry was not originally there to attack the so-called grain route, but to open the way for this large army.

Zhang Nan and Guo Mo, who were lying on the hillside, their faces pale, obviously knew what this enemy army was doing.

Their way must have been towards the grain platform set up by the Taishan army in Handan.

At that moment, Zhang Nan gave up the original plan to retreat to Tantai, decided to stay and snipe the enemy, and asked the capable Guo Sheng to take five quick departures and hurriedly go to Handan to report the military situation here. He also ordered Zhang Yu, a member of the Dasangli tribe, and took three people north to the front line of Xiangguo to report the situation here.

Then, Zhang Nan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he made up his mind to win back his glory in the hands of this Han army.

The front line of Xiangguo is still attacking Xiangguo according to the established siege rhythm.

When another group of Qingzhou soldiers crossed the trench on the entrenchment chariot, the silent city woke up.

Chinese

The army smashed the prepared wooden stones into the city, and even the boiling hot oil was spilled.

After being stubbornly attacked from above, the Qingzhou soldiers quickly withdrew in the Ming Jin behind them.

These days, the Taishan army has maintained this low-intensity siege rhythm, and after each time they tried to attack, they retreated.

But even with such a low-intensity attack, the Han army at the head of the city was not having a good time.

Because outside the city, there are already three mounds of dirt, all of which are extremely high with the mountains. The longbowmen of the Taishan army shot at the Han army on the top of the mountain.

The Han army at the head of the city naturally had bows and arrows, but they could not match the longbowmen of the Taishan army on the hillside.

In fact, by this point, Xiangguo City has been completely suppressed.

Now, the Tarzan army under the city is waiting for a suitable moment to launch a thunderous strike.

This time the low-intensity fighting lasted until dusk.

The head of the Han army was covered with corpses, and in the twilight of the dusk, it was full of blood.

Fu Hong, who was guarding the city, once again ordered the bodies of the brothers to be removed from the city, and after trying to breathe the air, he walked down the city with heavy steps.

Along the way, Fu Hong looked at the corpses collected under the city, and saw that their faces were ignorant, surprised, frightened and angry, and Fu Hong's heart pinched together.

Until now, the Han army has long filled in the blood mill at the head of the city with the originally recruited disciples and Qianshou. In fact, most of the dead are these people, and the real elite of the Han soldiers is actually not very damaged.

Fu Hong knew that this was the result of the clan brother's scheduling, and there must be a reason for him. So he held back the discomfort, stepped over a crooked corpse outside, and stepped on the bloody water without paying attention.

Fu Hong can't care about tidying up anymore, the mental energy on the city is too much, he is now tired to the point of collapse, and he just wants to get a good sleep in the city.

Just get sleepy.
