Lan's Zhaibao is located on the side of Rushui, between a small hill, with dangerous faults and tectonic structures.

When Zhang Bao arrived here, he knew why the Runan Lan clan wanted to build the dock fort here.

It's nothing more than four words: easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The whole walled fort is divided into two parts, the upper wall is built on the upper ridge of the mountain, and the lower wall is between the mountainside, forming a high-rise layout, so that the fort has a unique advantage in defense.

The walls of Shangwu are reinforced and tall, made of thick stone blocks, and the walls are inlaid with sharp stones, forming a natural protection. The walls are equipped with tall watchtowers to observe the movement of enemy troops and to warn of any enemy attack in advance.

The lower village is hidden in the valley, and the city walls are built along the mountain, reducing the exposed surface. The walls were fortified and surrounded by deep ditches and high ramparts, forming a natural barrier.

There is a fortified gate with heavy iron plates embedded in it, which can be closed at any time to prevent any illegal incursion.

Of course

The disadvantage is that this mountain is a small hill, although the wall of the fortress is made of stones, but it is not thick, only half a meter thick, and in the back, it is the city wall made of rammed earth, which can be said to be gold and jade outside the ruin.

But considering that the Runan Lan clan is just a clan of scholars, it is not easy to achieve this level.

Knock knock~

At this moment, the drums of war were already sounding outside the city.

The Wei army arrived in formation, and outside the Lan's Dock Fort, there was already a black crowd of people, and the sight was not good at night, but looking at the density of the torches, the Wei army outside the Dock Fort might have to be counted by 10,000 people.

In the Lan Clan's fort, Zhang Bao led the defenders to wait for them.

There is no need to say more about the soldiers of the headquarters that he brought.

Zhang Bao focused his eyes on those Lan clan warriors.

"Now there will be a fierce battle, we must strictly guard the dock fort, on the battlefield, whatever happens, don't panic, let alone riot, those who dare to make trouble will be killed!"

Speaking ruthlessly, Zhang Bao looked at Lan Zhan, who was led by the Lan clan township, and said: "I saw this Lan clan fort, the wall of the lower village is too thin, too short, not suitable for holding, I intend to abandon the lower village, we will concentrate our forces and hold the upper village." ”

"It's true that the lower village has not been built completely, but it will be too wasteful to abandon the lower village?"

Lan Zhan's face turned bitter, and then he said: "The water source and the fields are between the lower village and the upper village, give up the lower village, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for too long, the general thinks twice!" ”

Zhang Bao disagreed.

"The city wall of Xiazhai is thin, and there are many loopholes, it takes a huge price to hold, we do not have many troops, if the loss of troops in Xiazhai is too much, I am afraid that even Shangzhai can not hold it, and it will continue to suffer from its chaos. As for the water sources and fields, the county respects rest assured that within a few days, it will retreat. ”

How many days?

Lan Zhan was skeptical.

"I, Zhang Bao, will not gamble with my own life, even if the army is marching and fighting, it is better for the county to listen to me."

But behind me, it's the whole Lan clan!

Lan Zhan's eyes struggled, and after thinking for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Perhaps, the general was born in the army, and I believe in the general."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at the Lan clan Xiangyong behind him, and shouted: "From now on, what General Zhang said, it will be as I said, you must obey, if not, the clan rules and family law will deal with it!" ”

"General, as long as you can hold the dock fort, you can make the best use of the people's and material resources in the clan."

Zhang Bao nodded and said, "Don't worry, the county is here, no one can break this dock fort!" ”

Without any resistance, the Wei army broke into the lower village and rushed up towards the upper village.

Everyone on the wall of Shangzhai looked nervous, but their eyes were resolute.

Zhang Bao's headquarters is used to killing, and this kind of scene is no longer strange.

And the Lan clan Xiangyong, behind them is their own family, and there is enough reason to fight to the death.

Therefore, the people on the city wall were fearless, each holding bows and arrows, spears, spears and other weapons, waiting for the Wei army to approach.

The banner of the Lan family on the upper walled city fluttered in the wind, and of course, next to the banner of the Lan family in Runan, there were two more flags.

On one side is Han, and on the other side is Zhang.

"It's coming!"

Zhang Bao looked at the Wei army who poured up from Xiazhai, and felt even more glad in his heart that he had given up Xiazhai's decision.

The city wall of Xiazhai is too wide, and the attack area of the Wei army is too wide, so it needs more defensive troops, while Shangzhai is small, but the city wall is higher and thicker.

The Wei army wants to go from the lower village to the upper village, and the mountain road is also steep, so it can only come one by one, and cannot rush up.

Large siege equipment such as siege vehicles and ladder trucks were directly blocked out of the lower village and could not enter at all.

The Wei army carried the ladder in twos and threes towards Shangzhai.

"Shoot!"

Seeing the enemy approaching, Zhang Bao immediately ordered.

Sou!

Sou!

Sou!

Arrows rain down like locusts.

The archers on the city wall immediately fired, and the rain of arrows was dense like rain, so that the Wei army did not dare to advance rashly.

Zhang Bao stood on the city wall, his eyes firm. There were several guards standing beside him, armed with large knives, ready to meet him at any moment.

As the saying goes, there are always more ways than difficulties.

After the attack was blocked, the Wei army immediately stopped the attack, and half an hour later, catapults, siege vehicles, ladders, thunder carts and other siege equipment began to appear in front of Xiazhai.

It turned out that the Wei army used this half an hour to disassemble the siege equipment outside the lower wall.

Of course

Even if the siege equipment entered the lower village, but after all, the road is not easy to walk, although these siege equipment has a role, but it is not as big as imagined.

"Ah~"

A soldier on the city wall was hit by a flying stone from a siege vehicle and fell to the ground with serious injuries, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered, dragging his injured leg with the last of his strength, and the longbow in his hand kept shooting towards the city.

Seeing this, the surrounding defenders ran over to rescue him and first gave him medical treatment.

However, even if there is a favorable terrain, there are too many Wei troops.

The siege engines finally approached the city walls, and the Wei army began to climb the ladder and engage in fierce battles with the defenders of the city walls.

Bell bell bell ~

Swords are staggered, blood is splattered, and the two sides are engaged in a back-and-forth struggle.

"Death to so-and-so!"

Zhang Bao stepped forward, brandished a broadsword, and fought with the Wei army on the wall.

Inside and outside the city, the shouts and shouts were endless, and the blood stained the land, but the Lan's Dock Fort was still standing.

The two sides fought for a long time, and the blood had already dyed the wall of the dock fort red.

Woo woo woo~

The moon rose, and the Wei army finally sounded the sound of gold.

"Whew~

Zhang Bao was covered in blood, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

If the first Wei offensive was held, the second Wei offensive could also be held.

The most difficult moments have passed.

"Count the casualties, pack up the equipment for defending the city, don't relax tonight, the people will come to take turns immediately, and the rest will go back to rest."

"General, the banquet is prepared in the mansion, please talk about it general."

Lan Zhan's face was pale, and he couldn't get used to the bloody level on this battlefield for a while.

But even so, he still came to appease Zhang Bao's heart.

Joke, now that the lives of the whole clan are on this person, how can this be done without a relationship with him?

"No need."

Zhang Bao waved his hand.

"Now that the situation is urgent, there is no need for this between you and me, as long as I live, the Wei army will definitely not be able to break the city."

Zhang Bao promised like this, Lan Zhan nodded heavily, admiring in his heart.

"I'll have the meat and wine brought me."

After speaking, he bowed heavily to Zhang Bao.

Under the cover of night, the silent night hung over the land.

Zhao Yun's elite soldiers quietly left Anyang City, and the soldiers were divided into two routes, all the way to fight Shenyang, and he personally led the way to attack Ancheng.

Ancheng is a node of the Wei army's Rushui grain road, and it is the only place where it can transport grain.

The place is very important and strategically important.

Pedal Pedal Pedal ~

The sound of the march was inaudible.

Dark shadows silently walked forward in the night.

The cold wind blew lightly, and the starlight spread across the canopy, giving the army a faint guide to this army.

Zhao Yun was dressed in a black battle robe, with a spear across his shoulder, and his eyes were firm and calm. Standing at the front of the army, he led his warriors through the dark night with one step, the road ahead looming as if leading to an unknown destination.

Around him, the soldiers marched silently, and occasionally the wind blew and rustled, making the night even quieter.

Through the mountains, over the streams, through the meadows.

Anseong is getting closer and closer.

Time passed quietly and the night deepened.

Zhao Yun ordered the whole army to rest for a while, and had a brief exchange with the guide to confirm the direction of the march.

After knowing his location on the map, Zhao Yun immediately ordered the trap camp to follow him into the city first, open the city gate, and the rest of the people followed in turn, not to make any movement.

Anseong in the middle of the night, silent and dim.

The torches on the walls shimmered faintly, casting a few vague shadows.

The night breeze blows, bringing a touch of moist coolness, like a gentle silk thread brushing people's faces.

The Wei soldiers at the head of the city either leaned against the city wall or leaned against the arrow tower, and some of the defenders even sat down in the corner and closed their eyes, as if immersed in a dream.

The guards at the outposts sat cross-legged or leaned against the trees, seemingly in a state of weariness.

The darkness of the night blurred their vision, and the tranquility of the night eased their vigilance.

However, the darkness of the night and the lax garrison gave Zhao Yun the opportunity to raid.

Zhao Yun personally led five hundred elite trap camps to quietly approach Ancheng in the middle of the night, and they wore night clothes and walked around the city like a shadow.

In the silence of the night, their steps were light and firm, as if they had melted into the darkness.

Da Da Da ~ The flying claws continued to grasp the city wall, and black shadows followed.

The sparse defenders at the head of the city were startled by the sudden black shadow.

Before he could be alert, the dead soldiers in the camp were rapidly approaching, and the cold light of the flickering sword was particularly sharp in the dark night.

Puff puff~

Every blood flower represents the passing of a life.

"Quick Fix!"

Zhao Yun commanded, and the soldiers trapped in the camp were skillful, accurately and quickly knocking down the defenders, leaving no room for anything.

Soon, the Wei army on the city wall was cleared.

At this time, Anseong already knew that there was an enemy army attacking the city.

Although it is not known where the enemy army came from, the Wei army moved quickly.

Anseong, which was originally quiet, suddenly became lively.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack, assemble!"

"Defend the gates, don't open them!"

Now that his whereabouts have appeared, Zhao Yun will not pretend.

"Open the gates with me!"

Zhao Yun roared and led people to rush down the city wall.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

"Open the gates and kill the fuck!"

Stabbing the enemy with swords and spears, and with the sword dancing, the defenders of the city gate fell to the ground one after another, and they were not Zhao Yun's opponents at all.

The gates were opened, the moat drawbridge was lowered, and the army outside the city was able to enter Anseong without any problems.

As soon as the army entered the city, fierce battles broke out in the streets of Anseong.

Although the number of Wei troops in Ancheng is small, it can be seen that they are indeed elite, and they are fighting hard at the critical moment, but the elite soldiers trapped in the camp are like a torrent of steel, and the fierce offensive makes it difficult for the defenders in the city to resist.

Sword light, sword shadows, and arrow rain are intertwined, and the battlefield is filled with a strong bloody atmosphere.

Despite the Wei army's courageous resistance, the situation in the city gradually spiraled out of control.

Puff puff~

The silver spear in Zhao Yun's hand had turned blood-red.

Tonight, I don't know how many people died under his gun, but finally, Ancheng was killed.

After stabbing the Ancheng guards to death, the Wei guards around the palace who were still stubbornly resisting finally gave up resistance.

However, Zhao Yun was not happy for long.

At the moment when Anseong's defense line was breached, a raging flame rose up, and the flames instantly engulfed the grain and grass storehouse in the city.

He came to break the city in person, didn't he see the grain and grass here?

"Quickly put out the fire and control the chaos."

Seeing this, Zhao Yun hurriedly commanded a part of the soldiers to go to fight the grain and grass.

Now there is a shortage of food in the army, and there is nothing wrong with the food and grass in this city

However, even if Zhao Yun reacted in time and struggled to extinguish the fire, a lot of grain and grass were still burned.

"Damn!"

The firelight from the rest of the city reflected on Zhao Yun's face, his black hair sticking to his forehead from sweat, and his face was full of murderous energy.

Dare to burn my grain and grass?

See if I kill you or not, it's over!

After extinguishing the fire, Zhao Yun returned to the battle, and tonight, he wanted to clear the Wei army in the city!

Originally, he wanted to surrender, but now it seems that the only way is to kill.

The battle in Ancheng became extremely fierce, and this misery, of course, was the Wei army in the city.

Half an hour later, the Wei army has been cleared on the surface, and there may be a few cats and dogs hiding in the shadows, but it is harmless.

Just as Zhao Yun was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a ride suddenly stood out outside the city.

"General, the Wei army in Shenyang City is vigilant, there are many defenders, and we have failed to capture Shenyang under a sneak attack."

This person is Deputy General Zhao Yun.

"Shenyang didn't knock it down?"

Zhao Yun's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character.

Shenyang is between Ancheng and Anyang, this city is not uprooted, isn't he isolated?

Although there is some grain and grass in the city, if it is besieged for a long time, the heavy supplies cannot be delivered, and the impact is still too great.

"The defender of the city is a scholar, only less than twenty years old, so he knows how to defend the city?"

The one who guarded Shenyang City was Chen Tai, the son of Chen Qun, who was originally Cao Pi's entourage and was arranged by Cao Pi in Shenyang.

Originally, in Zhao Yun's opinion, this child was not enough evidence, so he only asked the deputy general to take Shenyang, and he didn't want to be unable to succeed.

"No, we have to take advantage of the Wei army's support for the future and attack Shenyang!"

His Royal Highness and the military advisor's plan can't be defeated in his hands!
