Runan-gun.

Shenyang City.

In the distance, red light was already flashing.

The darkness of the night will be replaced by light after all.

However, in Shenyang City, where the sun does not shine, it is like a terrifying picture, full of devastation and blood.

The city gate was breached, the broken bricks and tiles of the broken city wall were scattered all over the ground, and the Wei soldiers guarding the city fell to the head of the city, with layers of corpses and coagulated blood clots, so that it was not scary.

The scene inside the city was even more miserable.

The bodies were strewn across the streets, some trampled beyond recognition, others brutally beaten to the ground. Severed limbs, broken weapons, and armor were left on the battlefield, and blood stains on the streets formed eerie traces that stretched out beyond the eye to see.

The mourning is all over the field, and the drums of war have stopped, replaced by the aftermath of battle, which makes people's hearts heavy.

The city's dwellings have also been severely damaged, some of them have been reduced to rubble, and traces of the fire still remain between the remnants. The flames of the war engulfed most of the buildings, leaving behind a cloud of black charcoal and soot.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air, which was unbearable.

In the middle of the night, the Han army sneaked attack, and even though the defenders in Shenyang City reacted quickly enough, they were still breached by the city gate.

If it weren't for Chen Tai's early vigilance, practicing thousands of villagers in advance, and then calling the Chang family Ding Xiangzhu, it is unknown whether he can defend Shenyang today.

However, even if Shenyang is kept, the loss during the period is still terrifying.

After the battle, the number of people counted, more than half of the defenders in the city were killed and wounded, and the number of those who could defend the city was only a thousand, and many of them were city civilians who were temporarily requisitioned.

At this moment, at the gate of the city, there is a young armored general directing the dispatch on the side.

This person is Chen Tai, the son of Chen Qun.

Chen Tai's posture is tall, and his young face is full of determination. His black hair was like lacquer, slightly messy and scattered in front of his forehead, reflecting his youthful vitality. A pair of eyes are clear and bright, and there is a sharp light in the eyes, as if there is endless wisdom hidden.

Last night, Chen Tai was undoubtedly the key person who was able to hold Shenyang.

"Newspaper~"

Just then, a loud roar came from outside the city.

"Captain Qiyu, Ancheng is broken, the enemy army is coming towards my Shenyang, I can't see the number of people at night, but listening to the sound of horses' hooves, there are at least a thousand cavalry."

Thousands of cavalry?

Then his foot soldiers, I am afraid that there are more than 10,000 people.

Chen Tai's heart tightened, but his face did not show the slightest hint of fear.

"Send an envoy first, and go to ask for support."

After the danger of Shenyang's broken city was resolved, Chen Tai sent people to inform Ancheng and Baoxin of the situation in Shenyang.

The news of the Han army's sneak attack had to be known to the main Wei army in Runan, and then it would be dealt with.

Although I don't know why the Han army bypassed Shenyang and defeated Ancheng, now is not the time to think about it.

"Close the gates and meet the enemy!"

"No!"

Everyone in the city was concerned, but the previous defense of the city was successful, and Chen Tai also accumulated a lot of prestige in the army, and now he has ordered, most people choose to obey.

But there are also those who are hesitant.

For example, Shenyang Ling Changgao, who was beside him, showed hesitation on his face.

"County Zun, if you keep Shenyang, you will be rich, if Shenyang is lost, the county will not be able to save your life!"

Chang Gao barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and said: "What the noble man said is true, I will do my best to keep Shenyang." ”

Listening to this Chang Gao's weak voice, Chen Tai also knew that his mind was not strong.

However, this is not surprising, the previous defense of the city, the defenders in the city suffered heavy losses, and the Ru Nanchang clan was requisitioned, and the damage was not small, and now he wants to sell his life, so he is naturally unwilling.

In case of a critical moment, this guy turns back, I'm afraid that not only Shenyang City will not be able to defend it, but his own life will not be guaranteed.

Chen Tai's eyes flashed, and he said: "If I can keep Shenyang today, I will show my merit to the king, I heard that there are many talents in the Ru Nanchang clan, my father can cite them as filial piety, and after the implementation of the Nine Rank Official Law, he can be included in the list of top grades." ”

In fact, the propaganda offensive of Liu Gonghei, the crown prince of Hanzhong, has reached the point where it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

If you don't give some real benefits, I'm afraid that this Chang Gao will really backlash.

"In that case, how can you not die in the future?"

The future is ahead!

Before the war in Runan, the future of the Runan Shi clan was bleak, and if they died, it was the order of a county, and they couldn't even be a subordinate official in the county, and there were even fewer generals.

Now the prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gonghei, is attacking Runan, although it is a war, but it has opened the way for the Runan scholars.

Misfortune and blessing rely on, and blessing and misfortune lurk.

Maybe that's what I'm talking about!

After stabilizing people's hearts, Chen Tai immediately pulled out the sword at his waist, turned his head to Chang Gao and said, "I will guard the city, and this city will be handed over to the county honor." ”

After that, he did not turn his head back towards the head of the city.

Chang Gao summed it up, but he had to grit his teeth.

The crown prince of Hanzhong didn't know if he could get Runan, and when Liu Yuzhou got Runan, didn't he run away in disgrace?

It's better to hold Shenyang first, and then surrender when the heir of Duke Liu can really get Runan, and it's not too late.

Anyway, now that he is in the Nanchang clan, there are also many children who are studying in the martial arts hall, and they invest on both sides, and their eggs are not put in one basket, so they always do not lose.

Distance.

The glorious morning light gradually swallowed up the afterglow of the night, and a cavalry force swept through the field like a gale, raising a cloud of dust and smoke.

Pedal Pedal Pedal ~

The sound of the horse's hooves stomping on the ground was very noisy.

Zhao Yun was riding on a horse, his eyes were like stars, his sword eyebrows were sharp, and his black hair fluttered in the wind, looking extremely radiant.

"Phew~"

Zhao Yun reined in his horse and waved his hand back, and the cavalry behind him stopped his pace for a moment, and there was only the snort of the war horse in the field.

"The city gate has been repaired again, the fighter plane has been lost, waiting for the foot soldiers to attack the city."

After waiting for half an hour, I finally saw the shadow of the infantry army.

"The pawn will attack the city first, who can attack the city, reward 10,000 dollars, and give him the position of captain!"

Zhao Yun waved his hand, and the soldiers galloped away.

It is normal to attack the city with pawns, after all, the defending equipment of the defending side needs to be consumed.

In addition, if there are brave people in the city, they may take the initiative to attack the city, hoping to let the soldiers rout and affect the army behind.

Once the army is defeated, there are fewer people against more people, and there is also a chance to win.

Zhao Yun hoped to attract the defenders of the city.

However, the city gate did not open, which made Zhao Yun feel a little disappointed in his heart.

But

This also proves that there are not many defenders in the city.

Siege, there is a chance!

"Beat the drums, siege the city!"

Unable to attract the defenders of the city, they had to be used as cattle to feed the arrowheads.

In this regard, the whip of God that later spans Europe and Asia is very skillful.

When attacking a fortified city, the Mongol cavalry would first capture many prisoners, both soldiers and civilians, and then let them build earthen forts a stone's throw away from the city.

On the other hand, they would set up a cauldron and throw both people and animals into it, boil the oil, throw it at the city walls, and then release rockets to burn the city with high temperatures.

When the fort was built to a certain height, the Mongols could directly attack the defenders with special longbows, and the defenders could not organize an effective counterattack under long-range strikes.

However, this method could only deal with ordinary cities, and for more solid and tall cities, this method of the Mongol cavalry was ineffective.

Zhao Yun wanted to win quickly, so he didn't build a fort, but chose to attack!

"Ahh~"

"Spare your life!"

"The head can't fall off the scar the size of a bowl, rush!"

The soldier was unarmoured, but carried a ladder and a chariot to attack the city, but before he could get close to the city wall, he was shot into a sieve by a rain of arrows from the city.

If it retreats, the rear supervision team directly picks up the sword and chops melons and vegetables, so that it will not retreat.

And take advantage of this effort.

Under the city, elite soldiers are nervously arranging siege equipment.

Huge ladders, siege engines, trebuchets and more, these tools shimmer in the cold light of the sun.

Knock knock~

Boom boom boom~

With the sound of war drums and trumpets, the elite soldiers attacked.

Under the cover of the siege chariots, coupled with the weakening momentum of the rain of arrows on the city, the army rushed towards Shenyang.

The ladder was erected on the wall, and the warriors rushed up like fierce tigers, shouting the dirtiest words in their mouths, as if to dispel the cowardice and fear in their hearts.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The siege vehicles followed, crashing into the walls with a deafening sound, and the defenders of the city had to concentrate their fire on the defense.

The trebuchet made a whistling sound, and the huge stones flew towards the city wall, and the stones smashed on the city wall, and if they hit people, they would become meat cakes in minutes, and if they were unlucky, they would only hit half of their bodies, and they would have to scream for a long time before they could swallow their breath.

Above the city, the crossbowmen nervously stretched their bows and arrows, and a dense rain of arrows rained down on the besieging soldiers, and for a time the arrows rained down, blocking their advance.

Whoosh!

"Ahh~"

However, Zhao Yun did not stop the siege.

The siege loss is indeed very large, but Shenyang is also something he must capture, and he can afford this loss!

"Capture Shenyang, there will be a reward!"

Zhao Yun commanded the soldiers to move the ladder and change the direction of the attack, catching the defenders by surprise.

At the same time, he also sent elite soldiers to carry out a sneak attack around the rear, trying to surprise from behind the city.

However, Chen Tai in the city had already prepared, and for a while, it was difficult to succeed.

The battle was in full swing, the soldiers under the city fought fiercely, and the battlefield was filled with gunsmoke and the smell of blood.

The morning sun has risen, but Shenyang City is crumbling, but it has not been broken.

The defenders of the city resisted stubbornly, and Chen Tai had prepared a lot of equipment to defend the city, and the city walls were full of oil pots and rolling logs, constantly blocking Zhao Yun's attack.

The crossbowmen at the head of the city kept firing, and the arrows rained down, making it difficult for the besieging Han army to get close.

The battle entered a stalemate, the two sides came and went, shouting and killing all day long, the screams were endless, the swords and swords were shadowing, and the flames were soaring.

Zhao Yun led the soldiers to constantly adjust their tactics and strive to find a breakthrough.

It wasn't until even the reserve troops had to be used that Zhao Yun had to stop the siege.

There are people in the city who are good at defending the city, and unless the equipment in the city is consumed, it will be difficult to enter the city in a short time.

And if you want to attack the city in a way that minimizes losses, such as piling up earth to cover the height of the city, building earth forts, digging tunnels, and attacking with water.

But these methods take too long.

The main force of the Wei army is complimenting, if it is cavalry, ten days are coming, and he has no time to delay here.

Although he was unwilling in his heart, Zhao Yun had no choice but to order.

"Build a fortress in place, leave 3,000 people here, and the rest go with me to Ancheng."

Before Shenyang was captured, he had already sent the news to Xinxi, Shenyang must be defeated, and these 3,000 people stayed here, on the one hand, to meet Liu Chan's army and prepare for the capture of Shenyang.

On the other hand, although there is grain and grass in Ancheng, but part of this grain and grass has been burned, Ancheng is a heavy land, and it must be defended, since it is to be guarded, it is necessary to think about guarding it for a long time, and the soldiers in the city are enough to defend the city, and there are too many people, but it will consume the grain and grass in the city.

Placing a part of the troops outside Shenyang City can also attract the attention of some defenders and reduce the pressure of Anseong's defense, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Of course

It is not only a double win, but also a certain risk.

If the troops are divided, there will naturally be the possibility of being divided and attacked.

But how can you not take risks when you march and fight?

Shenyang City.

Chen Tai's sore arm can finally be put down.

The Han army attacked rapidly, but after all, it was not prepared in advance, although there were siege equipment, but there were not many siege equipment.

But no matter how fierce the attack is, Shenyang City may not be able to withstand it, and the reason is very simple.

Once the defensive equipment in the city is exhausted, the next step is hand-to-hand combat, and the attrition of troops is absolutely amazing.

He can use the priest to persuade Chang Gao once, but he can't ask him to use the strength of the whole clan to risk with him.

At that time, Shenyang may not be able to hold on.

But fortunately, this situation will not appear, he is not alone, but has reinforcements, as long as he is praised for the support over there, what is the Han army?

Although the heir of Liu Gonghe, the crown prince of Hanzhong, is powerful, but when it comes to military strength, it is still my Wei State that is even stronger.

"Prepare quickly to prevent the Han army from attacking again, if there is a small person in the city who dares to make trouble, he will be killed!"

In last night's battle, most of the riots in the city were not caused by the Han army that invaded the city, but the chaos in the city.

In the chaos, morality cannot restrain people, and everything can be done.

Many good families have also been involved.

There is revenge, burning, killing and looting.

For Chen Tai, if he wants to hold Shenyang for a long time, stability in the city is indispensable.

Only by killing can we stop the turmoil in the shortest possible time!

"I want to visit the county mansion today, you go and let me know." Chen Tai commanded to the guards beside him.

The predicament is ahead, if he wants to save Shenyang and his own life, Chen Tai feels that he has to do more things.

Like what

Marriage!

The cake drawn out of thin air, that Chang Gao may not necessarily eat it.

But I am in-law with my Yingchuan Chen family, which is a real benefit!

For the sake of the overall situation, Chen Tai thought: Just sacrifice your beauty!

At the same time.

Fifteen miles west of Baoxin City, on the hill of Lan's Dock Fort on the side of Rushui, the war has reached the point of white heat.

Outside the upper wall of Lan's Dock Fort, the sound of war drums was deafening, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled.

On the city wall, the defenders of Lanshiwu Fort were densely lined up, setting up crossbows, trebuchets, etc.

Under the city, the Wei soldiers lined up in a neat queue, carrying ladders, siege vehicles and other siege tools, and slowly advanced towards the city wall.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The siege vehicles slammed into the city wall, making a loud noise, and the Han soldiers on the city wall threw stones, poured hot oil on the oil pan and lit it again, trying to repel the besieging soldiers.

Whoosh~

The rain of arrows rained down on the city, and the Wei soldiers had to protect themselves with shields, and the pace of their advance, although slow, did not stop at all.

The defenders on the walled wall resisted valiantly, and the arrows were fired down in a dense manner, and the fire oil was spilled down, setting the siege engines on fire.

However, the Wei soldiers did not flinch, they used shields to cover and approached the city walls, trying to climb it with ladders.

The defenders on the walled wall stabbed with spears and knives to prevent the Wei army from climbing.

"His grandmother's, go down!"

"Wei cub, look at how powerful your grandfather Han is!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The Wei army poured onto the wall, and the two sides engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat on the wall.

For a time, the corpses on the walled wall were all over the field, and the blood stained the city wall.

The Han army on the city wall was red-eyed, and they used crossbow arrows and stones to shoot incessantly, trying to repel the Wei army's offensive.

The battle on the walled wall became more and more intense, and every corner was full of life-and-death battles.

Woo woo woo~

As the sun set, the long-lost sound of gold made both the offensive and defensive sides breathe a sigh of relief.

Today's fight is finally over.

Hoo hoo hoo hoo huh huh ~

On the wall, Zhang Bao was like a bloody man, and his chest was also rising and falling violently, but the fighting spirit in his eyes was undiminished.

Day 2!

Although the troops on the wall were also damaged, he could still hold on.

As long as the Wei army is attracted here, it will buy His Highness more time.

Delaying the main force of the Wei army, this credit, even if it is not the first merit, is not bad.

"Phew!"

He spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, and was just about to go back to rest for a while, but the guards around him pointed to the outside of the dock fort and said, "General, the Wei army has withdrawn." ”

Withdrawn?

Zhang Bao was stunned?

He turned his head and climbed to the high platform of the city tower, and looked down, the Wei army had really withdrawn!

The Wei cavalry had already left first, and the foot soldiers behind them had also begun to pull out the camp.

The camp of Wei County was busy, like a group of ants moving, and the movement was also very fast, and many things that could not be taken were burned on the spot.

For example, those siege equipment.

"It must be His Highness who has succeeded, otherwise the Wei army would not have withdrawn in such a hurry!"

Zhang Bao's face was overjoyed, and Lan Zhan, who had caught up with the city tower, was so excited that he was about to cry when he heard this.

"Really, General?"

"It really can't be more real!"

His eyes flickered, but he suddenly said, "Wei Jun is leaving, have you asked me Zhang Bao?" ”

The smile on Lan Zhan's face suddenly froze.

"What does the general mean"

"Hahaha~"

Zhang Bao laughed out loud, and said arrogantly: "Just a thief, it's not enough to worry about it, I led the troops out of the fort this time, and I want to make an immortal contribution!" ”

He wants His Highness to know what a fierce general is!

My father can take the head of the general in the army, and I am not bad!

Among the second generation of Yuan Cong's disciples, I, Zhang Bao, want to be the one who holds the bull's ear!
