CHAPTER XXXVIII

"Special mother! What is Zhu Han's old dog crazy about? Desperately biting at Lao Tzu! Vice General Li, has the letter for help been sent?" Duan Hu scolded and scolded, there were only more than 20,000 soldiers in the county, and most of them were recruits who had never seen blood. In the face of more than 100,000 people in the main force of the Moon Kingdom, he said that he was not afraid that it would be impossible, and only hoped that King Chen would quickly send troops to help when he saw the letter.

Duan Hu didn't know that the west didn't seem to be attacked, but in fact, the outer ten miles were all ambushed by the Moon Army, and several waves of messengers out of the city were all shot into hedgehogs, and none of them ran away.

Just after noon the next day, Zhu Han ordered another siege.

One after another stone-throwing carts pushed up, lined up, this time, the stone-throwing trucks threw out no longer boulders, but cans of fire oil one after another, the overwhelming cans smashed into the city, slammed into pieces, the archers wrapped the arrows in the cloth strips stained with fire oil, ignited an arrow to shoot, the fire oil on the city suddenly burned, in the raging fire, only to see a rejuvenating soldier on fire, screaming and rolling all over the ground.

The soldiers of the Moon Army were excited, swept away the low morale of yesterday's siege failure, and cheered loudly with their swords and halberds.

At the end of a round of attacks, the catapult was reset, this time it was replaced with a boulder, while the fire at the head of the city was fierce, the boulder was once again overwhelming towards the head of the city, and countless Xingguo soldiers were busy dealing with the flames, and they had no time to dodge, when even countless people were killed by the boulder.

Zhu Han, who was standing under the banner of the Chinese military marshal, had a gleam in his eyes, and this time he seemed to be able to ......

The rumbling drums sounded, and the Moon Army attacked the city again, holding a horizontal sword and a long lance, carrying a cloud ladder, like a black wave, mercilessly rushing towards the city.

Today seems to be much smoother than yesterday, the Xingguo soldiers on the head of the city were attacked by the previous rounds, and suffered heavy casualties, when the moon army set up the ladder on the head of the city, there was no fierce resistance as yesterday, and the head of the city only heard the angry shouting and scolding of the Xingguo guards, and one after another team of Xingguo soldiers panicked on the head of the city, and quickly filled the vacant seats.

The morale of today's Yue army is very high, and Zhu Han can see with the naked eye that the sergeants have climbed up to the top of the city for several months, drawing their swords and fighting to the death with the Xingguo soldiers on the head of the city.

The siege vehicle successfully passed through a section of the filled moat and pushed it to the city gate, and hundreds of moon soldiers struggled to pull up the huge ram, and with a loud bang, the entire city gate shook and dusty.

"Quickly block the city gate!" the junior colonel of Xingjun shouted loudly, and immediately a soldier and a soldier rushed to the ox cart and poured the boulder and earth on the ox cart into the door.

The situation is very good, and a smile gradually appeared in Zhu Han's eyes.

At this time, a gong was suddenly heard inside the city gate, and the west gate was unexpectedly opened, and the drawbridge was slowly lowered, rushing out a group of cavalry.

Zhu Han stroked his long beard, his expression suddenly became gloomy, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he pointed to the city gate and shouted: "The Xingjun is deceitful, go out of the cavalry camp and stop them!"

The cavalry that rushed out quickly circled the south gate and attacked the Moon Army soldiers under the ladder and in the siege vehicles. The Xingguo soldiers on the city tower took the opportunity to knock down the ladder and surrounded and cleaned up the soldiers of the Yue Army who had ascended the city.

Zhu Han's expression remained unchanged, his eyes were still fixed on the city, there was the key to victory or defeat, the more moon troops who climbed to the city, the greater the possibility of this city being captured.

However, Duan Hu also seems to have some ability, and when Zhu Han bet on the victory or defeat in the city, he did the opposite.

There are more and more Xingguo cavalry out of the city, like a black torrent, gushing out from the city gate continuously, and the other two sides of the city wall also heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing at this time, obviously this time the Xingguo army is out on three sides.

The Moon Army Cavalry Battalion and the Xingguo Cavalry collided fiercely together, the incident happened suddenly, at this time, I didn't care about what the formation was, and the square inch under the drawbridge could not be placed in formation, the Moon Army Cavalry Battalion could only charge horizontally in a group of three or five people, and the Xingguo Cavalry initially suffered a lot of losses, and soon adjusted its tactics, learning from the Moon Army Cavalry Battalion in a group of three or five people, and met it hard.

There were more and more Xingguo cavalry out of the city, and soon, the cavalry battalion of the Yue Army retreated again and again, showing defeat.

The adjutant general led by Xingjun suddenly found that the middle army of the Yue Army was empty at this time, and immediately divided one group to deal with the cavalry battalion, and the other group quickly assembled on the flat ground outside the city, like a black sword, and rushed towards the Chinese army under Zhu Han's department.

Zhu Han's face finally changed. The tactics of the Xingjun have completely disrupted his plan to attack the city, and now it has turned out to be an offensive and defensive exchange, and the Xingjun is attacking, while the Yue army is passively defending.

Zhu Han's face was pale, he glared at the Xingguo cavalry rushing towards the headquarters of the Chinese army, gritted his teeth fiercely, and said: "The crossbow and arrow battalions are arrayed, and after the heavy battalion is pressed, another 10,000 people will be transferred to continue the siege!" The Chinese army quickly dispersed to both sides. The archers of the crossbow battalion lined up in the middle of the phalanx, their hands full of bows, and their cold arrows aimed at the Xingguo cavalry.

Hundreds of famous Xingguo cavalry screamed and fell off their horses, and were ruthlessly trampled by the horse's hooves behind. At a distance of more than 100 paces, the crossbow archers only had time to release two rounds of arrows, and then the crossbow battalion was dispersed by the Xingguo cavalry.

In the rear of the crossbow battalion, thousands of heavy infantry battalions lined up in a phalanx, facing the rushing cavalry without fear, silently set up a big shield, and a pure iron spear stretched out from the gap in the shield body, and in an instant, a steel thorn wall appeared in front of the central army of the Moon Kingdom.
