Chapter 223
Zhang Fei was angry, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, where did they dare to have different opinions, quickly organized soldiers to attack the city.
Since the southern princes formed an alliance, Hanzhong also purchased some thunderbolts from Jingzhou, and Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying was proficient in these skills, and soon could imitate them. Zhang Fei brought a total of ten thunderbolts, as well as more than a dozen arrow towers, plus crashing wood, cloud ladders, etc., Zhang Fei felt that there were enough siege equipment.
With an order, the thunderbolts began to fire stones at the head of the city.
However, the skills of the Hanzhong soldiers were really not very good, only a small part hit the head of the city, and the rest either fell under the city or smashed on the city wall, although it was huge, but did not cause much damage.
Zhong Xiu had been prepared at the head of the city, and the thick wooden planks were supported and basically blocked by stones.
Fan Jiang and Zhang Da saw that there was little effect, so they stopped the thunderbolt car, and the three thousand soldiers formed a phalanx, divided into several echelons, holding shields and carrying ladders, slowly approaching forward.
More than a dozen arrow towers were also pushed over, and after reaching the range of the bows and arrows, the crossbowmen on both sides fired at each other.
"Siege the city!" Fan Jiang waved the big knife in his hand and ordered loudly again.
"Kill!" the seven hundred soldiers of the first echelon shouted at the same time and ran.
"Hurry up and release the arrows!"
the bell at the head of the city commanded coldly, with a face like frost.
The arrows became denser, and many Hanzhong soldiers were shot and fell to the ground screaming.
The hurried war drums sounded, and the drum beat was the order to advance. The soldier behind stepped on the body of the soldier in front and continued to rush forward.
The crossbowmen at the head of the city and the crossbowmen on the arrow tower also fell one after another, and the corpses fell into meatloaf, and the dirty blood flowed on the ground with all the internal organs, which was miserable.
The ladder finally landed on the head of the city, and the soldier of Hanzhong bit the knife in his mouth, climbed the ladder with one hand, and climbed towards the head of the city with a shield in the other.
"Quick, rolling wood thunder stone!" One
by one, the strong men carried the rolling wood and threw the thunder stone down the city, and before the soldiers on the ladder could scream, they were already shattered.
"Rush over!" the
second group of soldiers rushed over again and continued to climb towards the city.
The siege and defense battles are all attrition, the defending side is consuming the soldiers of the siege side, and the siege side is using the lives of soldiers to consume the defensive equipment of the defending side.
After the rush of three groups of soldiers, they paid an amazing price, and finally consumed the arch stones and arrows at the head of the city.
"Rush over!" The
fourth group of soldiers put the ladder at the head of the city again and began to climb up, it was obvious that the arrows on the city were not so dense, and the rolling wood thunder stones only fell occasionally.
But just when the soldiers were about to climb to the head of the city, the hot gold juice fell, and the soldiers of the Hanzhong army screamed and fell to the city, covering their heads with their hands, and their faces rolled on the ground, and the tragic sound made people listen to creepy. Some soldiers could not bear the pain and swung their swords to kill themselves, while others directly hit their heads against the city wall, and their brains were shattered.
"General, the morale of the soldiers is low, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through the city today..." After paying the lives of more than fifteen hundred soldiers, but they did not even climb up the city, everyone knew that it was impossible to break through the city today, Fan Jiang said to Zhang Fei carefully.
Zhang Feibao's eyes widened, as if he wanted to eat people. Fan Jiang and Zhang Da couldn't help but fight a cold war, and did not dare to say more.
"Order the troops to withdraw!" Zhang Fei was also a little unbearable in his heart, did not insist any longer, turned his horse's head and left.
"Quick, quick, quick!" Fan Jiang Zhang Da quickly ordered.
The soldiers who were rushing to kill heard the sound of gold and were relieved to pay for it, and scrambled to leave the devil area under the city.
For a few days, Zhang Fei ordered Fan Jiang and Zhang Da to attack Xianyang City continuously. However, Zhong Xiu's various means of defending the city allowed the Hanzhong soldiers to not get any bargains, and they had to lose one or two thousand soldiers every day.
Fan Jiang and Zhang Da proposed to Zhang Fei that Xianyang City could not be attacked, but could only be outwitted, so that sooner or later, the soldiers and horses would be completely lost. Unexpectedly, he angered Zhang Fei and beat the two of them thirty lashes each. At the same time, they were ordered to continue to attack the city with their soldiers, and if they could not take it, they would behead them for public display.
The two had no choice, played a deadly attack, killed and wounded more than 3,000 soldiers, and still did not attack Xianyang City. Several times the soldiers climbed to the head of the city, but they were all surrounded and killed by the defenders at the head of the city.
Zhang Fei was furious, and wanted to behead Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, and several military Simas begged for intercession, so that he could avoid the death penalty, demote the two to thousand-year-old commanders, and let them patrol the camp day and night.
Outside Huaxian City, Guan Yu did not attack. He knew very well that he only had five thousand soldiers and horses, and although Huaxian was a small city, Sun Kang also had five thousand soldiers and horses, and it was a very unwise choice to storm the city when the forces were equal.
After thinking about it in the camp, Guan Yu finally came up with a clever plan, so he called Guan Ping to the commander and gave him detailed instructions.
Guan Ping took the order, took five hundred soldiers, and quietly left the camp.
On the third day of Guan Ping's departure, Guan Yu set up camp and brought his soldiers and horses to the mountains opposite the county seat.
Sun Kang in the city was a little puzzled in his heart after discovering that Guan Yu had retired.
These days, Guan Yu has not attacked the city, even if it is a feint, there is no attack, how can he just retreat from the army? "There
must be a conspiracy!" Sun Kang was very sure, but what kind of conspiracy?
The more he thought about it, the more Sun Kang felt that he had no clue, and the more uneasy he felt in his heart.
"Listen, General!" Just then, a thousand-year-old man ran over to report.
In fact, Sun Kang had already heard a "booming" sound, coming from far and near! A
moment later, Sun Kang was shocked!
"It's not good, Guan Yu wants to flood the city!" The
next moment, the torrent in the distance rushed
down.
"Quick... Quick..." Sun Kang shouted twice, but he didn't know what to say.
In the blink of an eye, the flood reached the city below, and after colliding with the city wall, it formed a monstrous wave. Although it was temporarily blocked by the city wall, one big wave after another hit, the water level rose rapidly, and pieces of earth began to fall.
A lot of water had already flowed through the cracks in the city gates, and the soldiers in the city were full of fear.
In less than half an hour, the water level was already a foot high, and it was still rising.
"Boom..." With a loud bang, a section of the wall finally collapsed, and raging floodwaters rushed into the city.
"Run
!"
the people and soldiers of the
city shouted in panic, and scattered at the same time.
It was soon flooded, followed by the collapse of the walls of the house, and all kinds of things floating on the surface of the water along with countless corpses, filling the entire street.
