Zhang Fei was angry. Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, who dared to have different opinions, quickly organized soldiers to attack the city.
Since the southern princes all formed an alliance, Hanzhong also purchased some thunder chariots from Jingzhou. In addition, Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying was proficient in these skills, so she could imitate them soon. Zhang Fei brought a total of ten thunderbolt chariots, as well as a dozen arrow towers, plus bumpers, ladders, etc. Zhang Fei felt that there were enough siege equipment.
With an order, the thunderbolt chariot began to fire stones towards the city head.
But the skills of the Hanzhong soldiers were really not very good. Only a small number of them hit the city walls, and the rest either fell under the city or hit the city walls. Although the force was huge, they did not cause much damage.
Zhong Yao had already prepared at the top of the city. Thick wooden boards were used to support it, basically blocking the stones.
When Fan Jiang and Zhang Da saw that there was not much effect, they stopped the Thunderbolt chariot. Three thousand soldiers formed a square formation, divided into several echelons, holding shields and ladders, and slowly approached.
More than a dozen arrow towers were also pushed over. After reaching the range of the bows and arrows, the crossbowmen from both sides started shooting at each other.
"Attack the city!" Fan Jiang waved the sword in his hand and shouted the order again.
"Kill!" The seven hundred Hanzhong soldiers in the first echelon shouted at the same time and started running.
"Hurry up and shoot the arrow!"
Zhong Yao on the top of the city, his face as cold as frost, ordered coldly.
The arrows became more dense, and many Hanzhong soldiers were shot and fell to the ground screaming.
The rapid drums are beating, and the sound of the drums is the order to move forward. The soldiers behind stepped on the bodies of the soldiers in front and continued to rush forward.
The crossbowmen at the top of the city and the crossbowmen on the arrow tower also fell down one after another. The corpses were smashed into meat cakes, and dirty blood flowed on the ground along with the internal organs. It was too horrible to see.
The ladder was finally set up on the top of the city. The Hanzhong soldier held the knife in his mouth, climbed up the ladder with one hand, and climbed towards the top of the city holding a shield in the other.
"Quick, roll the wood and thunder the stone!"
One by one, strong men carried rolling logs and thunder stones and threw them down the city. The soldiers on the ladder were shattered into pieces before they could scream.
"Rush over!"
The second group of soldiers rushed over again and continued to climb towards the top of the city.
The battle of siege and defense is all about attrition. The defender is consuming the soldiers of the siege, and the siege is using the lives of soldiers to consume the defender's equipment.
Three consecutive groups of soldiers charged and killed each other, paying a huge price. Finally, all the arches, stones and arrows on the top of the city were exhausted.
"Rush over!"
The soldiers of the fourth team put the ladder on the top of the city again and began to climb up. It was obvious that the arrows on the city were not so dense anymore, and the rolling wood and thunder stones only fell occasionally.
But just when the soldiers were about to climb to the top of the city, the hot golden juice fell down. The soldiers of the Hanzhong Army screamed and fell to the bottom of the city. They covered their heads with their hands and rolled their faces on the ground. The miserable sound was hard to hear. Creepy. Some soldiers could not bear the pain and swung their swords to kill themselves, while others smashed their heads against the city wall, causing their brains to burst.
"General, the morale of the soldiers is low. I'm afraid it will be difficult to break the city today" It cost more than 1,500 soldiers their lives, but they didn't even climb up to the top of the city. Everyone knew that it was impossible to break the city today. Fan Jiang was cautious. Said to Zhang Fei.
Zhang Feibao¡¯s eyes widened, as if he wanted to eat someone. Fan Jiang and Zhang Da couldn't help having a cold war and didn't dare to say anything more.
"Send the order to withdraw the troops!" Zhang Fei couldn't bear it anymore, so he turned his horse's head and left without insisting.
"Quick, quick for gold!" Fan Jiang and Zhang Da quickly ordered.
When the soldiers who were charging heard the sound of gold, they were relieved and rushed to leave the devilish area under the city.
A few days a year, Zhang Fei ordered Fan Jiang and Zhang Da to attack Xianyang City continuously. However, Zhong Yao used various methods to defend the city, so the Hanzhong soldiers did not get any advantage, and they lost one or two thousand soldiers every day.
Fan Jiang and Zhang Da suggested to Zhang Fei that Xianyang City could not be attacked by force, but could only be outmaneuvered. If this continues, sooner or later all the troops and horses will be lost. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei was offended and both of them were beaten thirty lashes each. At the same time, they were ordered to continue to attack the city with their soldiers. If they could not capture the city, they would be beheaded in public.
The two of them had no choice but to risk their lives and attack, killing and wounding more than 3,000 soldiers, but still failed to break through Xianyang City. Several times the soldiers climbed to the top of the city, but were surrounded and killed by all the defenders on the top of the city.
At this time, there were more troops in the city than outside the city. How could it be possible to attack it?
Zhang Fei was furious and wanted to kill Fan Jiang and Zhang Da. Several soldiersAfter asking for mercy, the two men were exempted from the death penalty. They were demoted to captains of thousands and allowed to patrol the camp day and night.
Outside Hua County, Guan Yu did not attack by force. He knew very well that he only had 5,000 soldiers and horses. Although Huaxian was a small city, Sun Kang also had 5,000 soldiers and horses. When the forces were equal, it would be unwise to attack the city by force.
After Guan Yu thought about it in the camp, he 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 and quietly left the camp with five hundred soldiers.
On the third day after Guan Ping left, Guan Yu set up camp and led his troops to the mountain opposite the county seat.
Sun Kang in the city was a little puzzled when he found out that Guan Yu had withdrawn his troops.
"Guan Yu has not attacked the city these days, not even a feint attack. How could he just retreat like this?" And even retreated to the mountains!
"There must be a conspiracy!" Sun Kang was very sure, but what conspiracy was it?
The more I thought about Sun Kang, the more clueless I felt, and the more uneasy I felt.
"General, listen!" At this moment, a commander ran over to report.
In fact, Sun Kang has also heard a "rumbling" sound, coming from far and near!
After a while, Sun Kang was shocked!
"No, Guan Yu is going to flood the city!"
The next moment, a rolling torrent rushed down in the distance.
"Quickquick" Sun Kang shouted twice, but he didn't know what to say. Is there anything we can do in the face of floods?
In the blink of an eye, the flood reached the bottom of the city and collided with the city wall, forming a huge wave. Although it was temporarily blocked by the city wall, big waves hit one after another, the water level rose rapidly, and pieces of soil began to fall down.
A lot of water has flowed in through the gaps in the city gate, and the soldiers in the city are full of panic.
In less than half an hour, the water level was already one foot high and was still rising.
"Boom" With a loud noise, a section of the city wall finally collapsed, and raging floods rushed into the city.
"Oh no¡¡"
"Run quickly!"
The people and soldiers in the city screamed in panic and ran away in all directions.
But how can we survive these floods? It was quickly submerged, and then the houses collapsed and walls collapsed. All kinds of things and countless corpses floated on the water, filling the streets and alleys. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
