Boom~
Boom!
Boom~
The Han snare drum has sounded.
The Han army in the Han army camp gathered like a torrent in front of Biyong and Jiumiao, with flags covering the sun and shining armor.
They were lined up in tight formations, each soldier like a tight bowstring, ready to strike a thunderous blow at any moment.
All kinds of siege equipment were lined up in front of the battle, and rushing cars, trebuchets, ladders, etc. stood majestically, exuding a solemn atmosphere, as if to tear apart the solid city defense.
The sun shone on the armor of the Han soldiers, reflecting a dazzling light. Their faces were resolute, their eyes were like torches, and they clenched the weapons in their hands, as if they wanted to pour their blood and courage into the coming battle.
The sound of war drums, like a spell, made everyone's heartbeat accelerate.
In contrast, the Wei army, who was guarding the Nine Temples of Biyong, looked a little panicked. They stood on the not-so-tall courtyard wall, overlooking the Han army waiting below, and an inexplicable fear surged in their hearts.
Those siege engines seemed to them to be the embodiment of death, ready to tear their defenses to shreds at any moment.
Tick~
Tick~
As time passed, tension spread across the city walls. The Wei soldiers began to whisper, discussing the upcoming battle. Their voices were full of uneasiness and apprehension, and among them there were many miscellaneous soldiers, among whom there were many Hu people.
"This is the Han Army?"
"We are only a thousand people, and the Nine Temples and Biyong are not strong cities, can they really be defended?"
"Chief, why don't you run away?"
In Biyong and the Nine Temples, the Wei army was already shaken, and when they looked at their frame, they knew that these people were not elite divisions.
There is no way, the real elite, Zhang He can't put them outside Chang'an City.
In Biyong and Jiumiao, they were all local state and county soldiers, as well as some relatively tame Hu soldiers.
On the other side, the Han army remained silent and calm. They are like a pack of tigers ready to attack, just waiting for the signal to attack.
Zhang Fei, who was on the high platform, saw that the situation was almost over, and immediately said to the general beside him: "Attack!" ”
The flag-bearer on the high platform immediately waved the flag, and the drummers in the two columns beside Zhang Fei immediately clenched their drumsticks, threw off their arms, and struck towards the drum surface.
Knock knock!
The rapid sound of war drums sounded, this is the signal of the siege!
The sound of war drums shook the heavens and the earth, echoing under the sky of Wei.
The neatly arrayed Han army, like an iron and copper wall, under the cover of siege equipment, stormed towards the Biyong and Jiumiao guarded by the Wei army.
In Jiumiao and Biyongzhong, the Wei soldiers were waiting for them, and their eyes were fixed on the approaching Han army. The archers stood on the city wall, their bows and arrows in their hands like scythes of death, shooting at the Han positions again and again.
Whoosh~
The sound of arrows breaking through the air was sharp and piercing, accompanied by the screams of the Han soldiers, forming a tragic and tragic picture.
However, the Han army did not deter from this.
They braved a rain of arrows and charged forward without fear. Under the manipulation of the Han soldiers, the siege equipment slammed into the city wall like a huge monster. Each impact was accompanied by a loud bang, as if it was about to tear the walls apart.
Seeing the ferocity of the Han army's offensive, the Wei army began to use rolling logs, fire oil, and gold juice to delay the Han army's attack.
Huge logs tumbled down the city walls, trying to crush the Han soldiers into pulp; Fire oil and gold juice were poured down, creating a sea of fire in an attempt to burn the Han soldiers to charcoal.
However, none of this could stop the advance of the Han army. They braved the sea of fire, stepped on the rolling logs, and charged again and again.
Although the movements of the Han soldiers were embarrassed, there was a determined light in their eyes. They knew that only by storming the walls could they win the battle.
And only by military merit can you take a step forward, get rewarded, and be crowned a wife and son!
The Han army has the advantage of siege equipment, and the morale of the army is strong, and Wang Mang's nine temples and Biyong, Shejitan are not a strong fortress, with the passage of time, the balance of war has gradually tilted towards the side of the Han army.
At this moment, Chang'an City.
Zhang He had already climbed the Ancheng Gate Tower, his armor was neat, his hands were pressed on the city bricks, and the expression on his face was very struggling.
"General, the Han army is in Jiumiao and Piyong, and we have to wait for the troops to fight with the Han army, otherwise Jiumiao Biyong will definitely not be protected!"
When the Han army attacked the Nine Temples and Biyong, the Wei army attacked from the city of Chang'an, which could make this line of defense last for a long time, and if it was operated properly, it could even hit the Han army when the Han army was unprepared.
Of course
The idea is good, but now Zhang He is a little afraid to go out of the city.
The shadow of yesterday's defeat is still vivid, and if it is defeated again this time, I am afraid that the few morales left in the city will be cleaned.
"Wait."
Wait?
With the intensity of the Han army attacking the city, how long can Jiumiao and Biyong hold out?
"Father, wait any longer, I'm afraid that the Nine Temples and Biyong will be captured by the Han army, and the Nine Temples and Biyong will be captured, then to the south of Chang'an, there will be no fortress of the Han army, and my father will insist on holding Chang'an for a month, how easy is it to say?"
The person who said this was Zhang He's eldest son, Zhang Xiong.
"If the father thinks that it is too dangerous to lead the troops out at this moment, he can give his son 800 fine horses, and the child will go out of the city to kill for a while, and then come back!"
Eight hundred?
Isn't that going to deliver food?
Zhang He sighed and said, "Can you observe the changes in the Han army's military formation?" ”
Changes in the Han Army's military formation?
Zhang Xiong looked away and shook his head.
"The Han army has only one siege city, the left and right armies, scattered around, if my guess is right, the Han cavalry, will hide behind the army, and after our army attacks, it will come to intercept."
The cavalry of the Han army is fighting more and more, and there are many shadows of the Huns and Qiang in it.
Zhang He didn't have to think about it to know that some aliens had already joined the Han Kingdom.
"If that's the case, if you just stick to Chang'an, Chang'an City may not be able to hold it."
Chang'an City is indeed a strong city, the city is four zhang high, and the city is eight miles wide, which means that the Han State can attack Chang'an from all directions.
The pressure to defend the city has increased considerably.
"And if the morale of the army is weak and the people's hearts are turbulent, I am afraid that there is no need for the Han army to attack, and Chang'an City will be in chaos."
Zhang He looked at the eldest son who was very excited, and knew that he was telling the truth.
"That being the case, get out of the city!"
In the battle to defend the city, if you can't even get out of the city, it will really become a battle of trapped beasts.
Whether he can hold it or not, Zhang He doesn't have much confidence in his heart.
"I'll give you a thousand cavalry, you don't have to storm the Han army's formation, attract the attention of the Han army, and give some confidence to the sergeants who are guarding the city in the Biyong Nine Temple."
"No!"
Zhang Xiong immediately received the order.
Squeak~
It didn't take long for the gate of Chang'an to open, and Zhang Xiong, wearing Xuanjia, with a thousand elite horses, rushed up.
In the middle of the Han army, Zhang Fei, who was standing on the high platform, naturally saw the changes in Chang'an City, he smiled lightly and said, "Let Zilong attack!" ”
The flag-bearer on the high platform immediately waved the flag.
Dengdenden!
The earth trembled at this moment.
I saw that behind the Han army's formation, a thick yellow smoke rose.
Yellow smoke billowed and obscured the sky, as if the wrath of the gods was churning in the world.
In the midst of this chaos, a figure broke through the smoke, like a tiger descending from a mountain, and its momentum was like a rainbow.
It was a warrior on a white horse, the white horse was snow-white, without a trace of variegation, like a spirit between heaven and earth, vigorous and sacred.
The warrior wears white armor, and the armor is carved with delicate patterns, which is both noble and powerful.
His face is resolute, and his eyes are like torches, as if he can see everything in the world. Holding a spear, the tip of the spear pointed straight at the sky, as if it could pierce the billowing yellow smoke and reach the sky.
If it's not Changshan Zhao Zilong, who is it?
Behind him, thousands of troops and horses followed, their iron hooves like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth. The soldiers were dressed in uniform uniforms, holding weapons, and their steps were uniform and magnificent.
The cavalry struck, swift as the wind.
Soon they rushed towards the 1,000 Wei cavalry led by Zhang Xiong.
Seeing this kind of scene, Zhang Xiong dared to fight, and immediately said: "Retreat right!" ”
Zhang Xiong moved to the right, he wanted to return to the city, but the cavalry attacked, the inertia was very great, he had to circle around Chang'an City, find the opportunity to return to the city.
And Zhao Yun led thousands of elite horsemen, who were willing to spare the Wei army who went out of the city, followed him.
Pedal Pedal Pedal ~
The Wei cavalry turned, and their speed undoubtedly slowed down.
And the momentum of the Han army is unabated, and the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.
Zhang Xiong was flustered in his heart, and he already regretted it in his heart.
Fang Cai should not have ordered the right retreat, but because it was a tough encounter, and the brave won when they met on a narrow road.
Maybe there's still a little bit of winning.
But now after making the move to retreat to the right, the Han army is chasing, and he is on the run.
If it is caught up by the Han army, it will be a one-sided massacre.
There was not even a chance to resist.
The point is.
The Han army is getting closer and closer.
Zhang He, who was in the city, saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.
He had known that the cavalry of the Han army was behind the Han army, but he didn't expect his son's reaction to be so sloppy.
It's good now?
I didn't even have a chance to fight.
And the most embarrassing thing is that Zhang Xiong fled around Chang'an City with a thousand cavalry troops, which made the soldiers in the city see it, what did they think in their hearts?
"The guy who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures!"
When Fang just asked for war in the city, he said it impassionedly, and he thought how powerful his son was.
As a result, I went to the battlefield, only to know that it was a straw bale.
It's a shame for him.
"General, you have to send troops quickly, otherwise our army will be in danger."
He could see clearly that after the white-armored general caught up with the Wei army, he deliberately controlled his speed, but only killed a hundred and ten people hastily, and did not continue to kill.
The Han army did not send infantry troops to intercept Zhang Xiong's troops, and Zhang He knew the sinister intentions of the Han State.
It is to use the embarrassment of the Wei army to escape, so that the Wei army in the city and the people of Chang'an are afraid and dare not fight again.
"Point 5,000 infantry troops, go out of the city to fight!"
If it drags on any longer, Chang'an City will really not be able to defend it, and there is still the possibility of a war.
Squeak~
The gate of Chang'an was opened again, and the suspension bridge was slowly falling, and Zhang Heqin led 5,000 armored foot soldiers out of the city.
I Zhang Xiong, who was chased like my grandson, saw my father Zhang He go out of the city to fight, and I gradually gained confidence in my heart.
He commanded left and right.
"Move, shoot back, kill!"
was chased like a grandson, and was laughed at by his colleagues in Chang'an City, you said that I was not annoyed by Zhang Xiong, it was impossible.
Seeing the Wei cavalry fighting back, Zhao Yun's eyes lit up and he shouted.
"Good time!"
He also saw that the Wei army's foot soldiers had left the city, and immediately stopped playing hide and seek with the Wei cavalry.
"Soldiers, follow me to kill!"
The cavalry of the Han army was divided into two parts, one for the Han cavalry and the other for the Hu cavalry.
Han cavalry generally wears armor, some are still wearing heavy armor, and Hu cavalry is cloth armor, paper armor, or even no armor.
Their positioning on the battlefield is also clear.
The Han cavalry was responsible for charging and killing on the battlefield, while the Hu cavalry shot arrows immediately, and when the enemy came, they retreated far away and then shot arrows.
The so-called method of fly warfare.
"Rush!"
"Kill!"
The cavalry of the Han and Wei armies collided like two torrents, swords intertwined, and arrows flew. 、
Zhao Yun led the army to charge in front, holding a spear, and with a wave of it, the Wei cavalry was knocked off his horse. The Han soldiers followed Zhao Yun's orders, and their powerful momentum caused the Wei army to retreat again and again.
However, there were also many warriors among the elite of the Wei army, who cooperated tacitly, covered each other, and launched a fierce attack on the Han army.
Zhang Xiong was in the middle of it, but although his sword moves were sharp, Zhao Yun was as steady as Mount Tai, constantly waving the silver spear in his hand, provoking and smashing, and the silver spear in his hand played with flowers in Zhao Yun's hand, repelling the Wei army one by one.
Many people died under Zhao Yun's gun.
For a time, the two armies of the Han and Wei dynasties on the battlefield were full of fire and water, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled.
However, the Han cavalry was outnumbered, and the Hu cavalry was on the side to shoot arrows to harass, and the Wei army gradually collapsed, and the Han army began to gradually gain the upper hand.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Xiong immediately led the remnants to withdraw towards Zhang He's infantry formation.
Zhao Yun did not chase after him, but just gathered the soldiers and cavalry, simply cleaned the battlefield, and after collecting the horses and armor, he retreated behind the Han army.
After Fang Cai rushed to kill, he circled Chang'an again, and the horsepower of the war horse under his crotch was already a little weak.
Now I'm going to change my horse and fight again!
At the time of the war between the two armies of the Han and Wei dynasties, the nine temples of Biyong, which were attacked by the Han army, could no longer hold on.
After more and more Han troops climbed the courtyard walls, the morale of the Wei troops guarding them began to crumble. They were confronted by a flood of Han soldiers, their weapons and wills pale in the face of the valiant nature of the Han army.
Some Wei soldiers began to flee, their figures scurrying around the city walls; Some are still in place, but their eyes have lost the firmness and courage they had before.
"Hold on! Resist! The Wei generals shouted hoarsely, trying to stabilize their position.
However, his voice seemed so weak and helpless under the tidal wave of the Han army's onslaught.
In the end, under the courageous rush of the Han soldiers, the Wei army's defense line completely collapsed.
They scattered and fled, and the entire Biyong and Jiumiao were occupied by the Han army.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang He, the front army was transferred to the rear army, and the rear army was turned into the front army, and after receiving the Wei cavalry, he retreated to the city.
He had lost his goal of going out of the city to help.
This battle.
The Han army won. (End of chapter)
