In the middle of the night, the moonlight was obscured by heavy clouds, and under the starry night sky, the Wei army in Shangcai City was unaware of the impending crisis.

In this silent night, Zhang Bao led more than 10,000 soldiers from Runan Prefecture, carrying siege equipment, and secretly approached the Shangcai City Wall.

"General, do we really want to attack Cai? I heard that there are tens of thousands of Wei troops in Shangcai City, and I wait for these manpower, can I really capture Shangcai? ”

Han Xuan had a worried look on his face.

After the Han army entered the city, Zhang Bao reorganized the state and county soldiers in a few days.

At the same time, three thousand new pawns were recruited, and they were all divided into them.

What we learn every day is not what to arrange the troops, not what to march and fight, but to listen to the master's reading, what the spirit of His Highness is, and why to fight.

Only those who pass the examination can truly be filled into the army, and those who fail the examination will become a village warrior on the spot, and their treatment will be worse than half.

Han Xuan naturally knew that this was the Han army's means of controlling people's hearts.

But when he thought of his mother-in-law at home and his future, even if he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, these dissatisfactions were still covered up by him.

"Let's see if we can capture Shangcai tonight, if not, we will besiege but not attack, lead other Wei troops to rescue, and surround the point to send reinforcements, do you understand?"

Encirclement for reinforcements?

As soon as Han Xuan heard Zhang Bao's insight, the last trace of worry in his heart also dissipated.

"Then the end will be fate, if you can defeat Shang Cai, it will naturally be the best thing."

If it weren't for the death attack on the city, the casualties wouldn't be too great.

This is within the acceptable range in Han Xuan's heart.

As for the so-called encirclement point reinforcements?

Isn't it just to mobilize the Wei army and let it have flaws in the process of mobilization?

I'm not a person with a problem in my head, how can I not understand?

Soon.

The soldiers of Runan Prefecture began to move.

They tried to temper their voices, and their steps were light, like ghosts in the night, and they crept close to the walls.

Siege equipment, including ladders, trebuchets, ladders, etc., was carefully transported to the city.

When the siege party reached the city, they moved quickly.

The ladder was erected, the trebuchet was adjusted, the long ladder was erected, and all preparations were made in a very short time.

Then, as the soldiers began to climb up the ladder up the walls, a sudden exclamation sounded in the darkness of the night.

Huhuhu~

On Shangcai City, which was originally quiet and dark, one fire after another suddenly ignited.

It was the glow of a dense pile of torches.

It turned out that the Wei army in Shangcai City had already prepared, and they set up defensive facilities on the city walls.

At this moment, he was waiting for the Han army to approach.

When the soldiers of Runan Prefecture pushed the chariot and carried the ladder forward, preparing to attack the city, the crossbowmen of the Inner Wei army in the city immediately bent their bows and arrows, and the arrows rained down.

Whoosh~

The sound of arrows breaking through the air was endless, and the sound of locusts continued to harvest the lives of the unsuspecting soldiers of Runan Prefecture under the city.

"Ahh~"

"Mother-in-law! Lao Tzu is dead! ”

All of a sudden, screams rang out one after another.

The guards on the city wall used their spears and spears to block the soldiers of Runan Prefecture who climbed up.

The ladder was toppled and the soldiers screamed and fell to the bottom of the city, flesh and blood flying.

"General, the Wei army is obviously prepared, this siege of the city, can it be stopped?"

I thought that I would be able to go down to Shangcai quickly, but now it seems that their actions are actually under the watchful eye of the Wei army in the city, just like clowns.

Zhang Bao shook his head.

"If you don't look around, how can you know the details of the city? Maybe there are not many Wei troops in the city at this moment! Besides, if it doesn't hurt, how can it ask for help? ”

What Zhang Bao said is very reasonable.

Han Xuan opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything more.

Siege siege.

The siege of the city is to take your life to pile up.

But now

It seems that I have to take my life to pile it up.

Looking at Han Guan's back, Zhang Bao's eyes flickered.

Whether Shangcai City can be captured or not, Zhang Bao actually doesn't have much expectation in his heart.

In fact, originally, his goal was not Shang Cai.

Shang Cai Chengjian, when he was attacking Maoyang, Zhang Bao felt it.

was even almost dumped by the Wei army in Shangcai City.

I almost lost my life.

His goal is actually Wu Fang, after taking Wu Fang, you can get in touch with Nanyang through Wushui, get supplies, and you can go all the way to Xiping along the official road, Xiping City, there is Runan and the clan as the internal response, if you take it, you can go south through Luoyang'an, North Yichun, and then take Shenyang, and Xinxi into a piece.

pity

Although his idea is good, His Highness has other plans.

Although the general is not subject to the king's order.

But that was a special circumstance, and now that His Highness had a great plan to accomplish, how could he not cooperate?

So, Zhang Bao decisively gave up his idea and honestly became a sharp sword in Liu Chan's hand.

In fact

Zhang Bao's idea is good, but. It's easy to take down Wu Fang, but it's easy to pass through Xiping?

After all, Runan He's clan is not Runan Cheng's clan, he has a way back.

In addition, Haoyang and Nanton were deliberately given to the Han army by the Wei army, so the Han army could take these two cities so smoothly.

Now I'm going to fight Xiping, can I really beat it?

Not to mention to the south through Luoyang'an, the north Yichun.

Is this food and grass enough?

Can the people of Jingzhou still hold on?

Suffer the people.

But the people of Jingzhou really can't endure hardship.

The hardships they have endured are too much.

If they eat any more, they will be more than they can bear.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

"Take down Shang Cai, the first to ascend, reward money, enter the lecture hall, and the official will be promoted to the third level!"

Zhang Bao's military order has not changed, and the siege is still continuing!

However, although the soldiers of Runan Prefecture attacked the city quickly, the Wei army on the city defended the city and was also resolute.

The fortification of the city is continuous.

Although the guards of the city were damaged, they were quickly replenished.

All of a sudden.

The siege battle reached a fierce stalemate, with the Wei army on the city wall heroically resisting the attack, and the soldiers of Runan Prefecture under the city stubbornly tried to climb the city wall.

The ladder was erected again, the long ladder was erected, and bloody battles raged up and down the walls.

In the darkness of the night, blood stained the walls red, and wails and shouts mingled.

The swords, guns, swords and halberds of the soldiers of Runan Prefecture flickered in the night sky, and more and more Han troops rushed to the city wall.

The fortifications on the city walls were destroyed, but the Wei army on the city remained stubborn.

After hours of fierce fighting, the battlefield was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the losses on both sides were already heavy.

The outcome of the siege is still uncertain, but the soldiers on both sides paid a huge price in this dark night, sticking to their beliefs and responsibilities.

One side wants to reclaim his homeland and reunite with his family.

On the other hand, it is necessary to defend the city and save the life of the family.

There is no right or wrong on both sides, only winning and losing.

It was a brutal and bloody battle, and the battlefield at night seemed to be a corner of hell.

finally

Woo woo woo~

Outside the city, in front of the Han army, the sound of gold finally sounded.

The soldiers who besieged the city retreated like a tide, but they did not retreat far, but withdrew to the camp that had only been built today, and had not yet been built.

If you can't besiege the city, then besiege the city!

Zhang Bao looked at Han Xuan and said, "Repair the city, prepare to besiege the city, except for one or two messengers in the city, don't release a single fly." ”

"No!"

Han Xuan's eyes were moist.

In the siege battle that had only lasted a few hours, there were at least 1,000 soldiers from Runan Prefecture who fell under the city.

These are all good men in Runan!

It's a pity, it's a pity!

Zhang Bao didn't care about the pain and frustration on Han Xuan's face, he looked in the direction of Xinxi, and muttered to himself in his heart: "I hope that this siege can really attract the Wei army, and open up the situation before we can pacify Runan, otherwise, we can only retreat?" ”

Fall back?

No!

He Zhang Bao is absolutely unwilling!
