Seeing that Zhang Lu was so panicked, it seemed that he had made up his mind to immediately withdraw his troops and flee, Yan Pu was greatly disappointed, and couldn't help but burn with anxiety.But he is well aware of Zhang Lu's nature, and the more this happens, the more relaxed he will be.Only in this way can Zhang Lu's flustered emotions be relieved, and he can calm down as soon as possible, so that he can think rationally.Don't be impatient at this time, otherwise it will backfire and aggravate Zhang Lu's panic, prompting him to leave without thinking, and stay away from right and wrong immediately.

"Uh, can you still capture Chencang City?" Sure enough, Zhang Lu was astonished when he heard the sound, and looked at Yan Pu in amazement, his eyes erratic, as if he doubted Yan Pu's intentions in persuading him to stay.

"My lord, let's look at the east side of the city. The Great Elder Zhang Ju has already led his troops to attack the city tower and gained a firm foothold. Now he is clearing out the defenders who came for reinforcements. If this momentum continues, the east side can be captured in at most two cups of tea." The city tower, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue and attack the defenders on the front tower. In this way, the defenders on the city will be exhausted, and we will take advantage of this opportunity to attack the tower and seize the city in one fell swoop!"

After speaking, seeing Zhang Lu's hesitant expression and still hesitating, Yan Pu sighed secretly, and continued to persuade: "Not only is the situation on the east side of the city well, but there are also guards on the west side of the city.

In addition, my lord, you may wish to imagine that the Xiliang Army has gathered a total of [-] soldiers and horses in the city, and lost thousands of troops in the previous attack on the camp. Therefore, the Xiliang Army stationed in Chencang City is only more than [-] troops.Right now, the Xiliang army is splitting up and attacking our camp, and there are [-] soldiers and horses left behind in the camp. The enemy army captured the camp so quickly, which shows that they robbed the camp tonight. Ten thousand soldiers and horses.In addition, there are [-] Xiliang troops on the top of the east mountain, which means that there are only more than [-] Xiliang troops staying in Chencang City at this moment.Is it just more than [-] defenders? How many people are there in our Hanzhong army at the moment? A total of [-] troops, fully five times the size of the Xiliang army defending the city.Therefore, at this moment, the situation is extremely favorable to our army. If we don't take Chen Cangcheng at this moment, when will we wait? "

Following Yan Pu's narration, Zhang Lu looked around and found that, as he said, the defenders on the city tower were obviously insufficient in strength. Facing the attacking soldiers and horses from three sides, they seemed to be in a hurry, and they were tired of parrying.Therefore, Chencang City is already in jeopardy at the moment, if we put in more effort, it is really possible to capture this city in one fell swoop.

With this in mind, Zhang Lu looked back at the soaring fire that reflected the red half of the sky, then gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, raised his sword, and shouted sharply: "The army is attacking, attack the city with all its strength, and anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed without mercy! Siege the city!"

small dividing line

Da da da!

"Who is coming, quickly dismount and stop!"

On the north gate tower, the brigade had just gone to the south gate to support the defense of the city. At this moment, there were only a hundred defenders stationed at the north gate.Unexpectedly, as soon as the brigade left, a group of more than [-] cavalry came straight to the city gate.Immediately, the guarding school turned pale with fright. While ordering the soldiers to prepare for defending the city, they yelled loudly.

"Hehehe! Fortunately, it seems that I waited just in time. At least the north gate is not lost, and Chen Cangcheng is still in our hands." Li, who was running quickly, heard a strong Liangzhou accent coming from the tower. Li couldn't help but let out a long breath, and driving the golden beast king slowly slowed down, and said with a smile.

Li Zhi happily answered, "Hurry up and hurry up and finally catch up. It's not in vain for me to travel hundreds of miles day and night!"

While talking, Li Zhi rode his horse close to the city gate, raised his head and shouted: "Where is the Captain of the North Gate? My lord is here, please open the city gate quickly and welcome my lord into the city!"

While Li Zhi was speaking, Li Li drove the Golden Beast King to walk slowly to the side of the suspension bridge, but his eyes were not on the tower, but on the beacon smoke in the city, listening to the loud shouts and screams.

"The mount of the king of beasts!" Chengmen Primary School was startled after hearing Li Zhi's shout, but suddenly saw the familiar golden mount, and suddenly the scene of watching this tall figure leave 20 days ago appeared in his mind. The tall and straight figure riding on the throne, this is the lord!

In an instant, the Chengmen Primary School was overjoyed and shouted excitedly: "Quick, quick, open the city gate, the lord is back!"

"Ga, quack, bang!"

Before the little school could finish speaking, the suspension bridge of the city gate slowly descended, and then landed with a bang.At the same time, the closed city gate opened wide with a bang, and dozens of city guards stood in line on both sides of the city gate to welcome the Lord Li Li into the city.

This series of skillful movements was carried out almost at the same time as the order of the small school of the city gate. The moment his voice fell, the city gate had been opened, the suspension bridge had been lowered, and more than [-] soldiers guarding the city gate had already lined up to greet them. .

In other words, these soldiers all knew their lord, and they had amazing eyesight and extremely fast reaction. When the cavalry approached the city gate, they recognized that it was the lord Li Li who had returned to Chencang City overnight.But because of military discipline, they did not dare to open the city gate without permission. General Li Zhi, the commander of the guards next to the lord, stepped forward and shouted that they did not need orders from the city gate officer, so they opened the city gate immediately.

These soldiers are just ordinary defenders of the city, but most of them have met the lord Li Li and respect him like a god. They have absolute prestige and prestige unimaginable by ordinary people, and are deeply loved by the whole army.As long as Li Li showed his face, the military power would automatically return to him, and no one in the army could stop him.And this is also Zhou Yu's personal experience in Anyi City. Li Li made an order, and the military power changed hands accordingly.

"Enter the city!" The moment the city gate opened, the smile on Li Li's face disappeared, replaced by a dignified expression, frowning eyebrows, and a murderous look in his eyes.

After entering the city, Li Lili first jumped from the back of the King of Beasts and landed on the ground, then with a big wave of his hand, he led more than [-] soldiers directly to the north gate tower.

"Why don't we go directly to the city guard's mansion?" Wang Yue asked in a low voice, puzzled, after quickly following Li Li.

Li Li turned a deaf ear to it. After going upstairs, he jumped onto the battlements and looked at the south gate from a high position. He said in a deep voice, "The situation in the city is unclear at the moment, so it is not appropriate to rush into the city guard's mansion. Besides, the distance from the tower to the south gate is closer. You can also observe the situation in the city at any time, kill two birds with one stone, why not do it."

While speaking, Li Li had already come down from the top of the city, and told Li Zhi: "Leave a hundred soldiers to take over the north gate, and all the remaining soldiers will follow me to support the south gate. It seems that the south gate is in danger, and the Hanzhong army has already Ascending the tower, perhaps the Hanzhong army has already broken through the city gate and entered the city. It is not too late, I will set off immediately, and must guard the south gate, otherwise the trick of suspicious soldiers will turn into lure wolves into the house, and become the laughing stock of the princes of the world!"

Before the words were finished, Li Li took Wang Yue and others to take a step ahead. There were still more than [-] soldiers accompanying him, but the guards at the north gate had all been replaced by [-] guards from the Golden Guards.This is just in case, Li Li left a retreat for himself in advance, if the general situation is over, he can still go back the same way, so that he will not be trapped in the city by the Hanzhong Army and cannot escape.

clang!

The long-handled war knife collided with the four-foot iron sword in the air, and it was powerful, but it was caught by the iron sword abruptly, without showing any weakness.

Immediately afterwards, the edge of the sword turned over, leaned against the back of the knife, and swiped towards the handle.

Unexpectedly, the person holding the knife was not mediocre either.

Seeing the sword coming, he remained calm, raised his right hand, blocked the iron sword with the blade, and relied on his tall stature, raised his legs and kicked, forcing the sword holder to back down.

When the opponent retreated, he held the middle of the saber, turned sharply, and the saber in his hand spun, protecting his whole body, and quickly pressed forward.

Facing the formidable enemy approaching at every step, the sword-wielder had no choice but to retreat while fighting, retreating among the armored warriors, temporarily avoiding their edge, and turned to beheading the defenders.

Seeing the sword-wielding man who was older than himself take the initiative to avoid him, Huang Zhong didn't chase after him. He raised his sword and slashed at the armored warrior, killing the enemy faster than the old swordsman.After all, in the melee of thousands of soldiers on both sides, the lethality of the long-handled saber far exceeded the power of the saber.Often, Huang Zhong could kill two armored warriors with a single slash, and he cut them in two, simply and neatly.

It goes without saying that this elderly man who is more than ten years older than Huang Zhong is the great elder Zhang Ju of the Five Dou Rice Sect.

He is good at dodging and moving, and his body skills are flexible, but at the moment he is on the tower, surrounded by soldiers who are fighting each other, there is no chance to use his body skills at all.But his opponent Huang Zhong was holding a long-handled saber.The attack range is so large that the armored warriors cannot get close at all, which gives Huang Zhong enough room to display.Open and close, beheading armored warriors with impunity.

In this way, Huang Zhong and Zhang Gun sometimes fought, and sometimes beheaded each other's soldiers wantonly.

After more than 20 rounds, Zhang Gun successively beheaded more than [-] defenders, but nearly a hundred armored warriors died under Huang Zhong's sword.

Seeing Huang Zhong's bravery, Zhang Cun was furious.Can't help being surprised by Huang Zhong.At this moment, he knew that Huang Zhong was the general of the Xiliang army who was lying in ambush on the top of the mountain behind him, waiting for an opportunity to attack the teaching guards.It was also this person who led more than 8000 archers and killed more than 3000 armored warriors in one fell swoop, forcing himself to lead his troops to attack the eastern city.Fortunately.After paying the casualty price of more than 1000 warriors, Zhang Ju led the teaching guards to successfully seize the east tower, and then attacked the Xiliang defenders on the front tower.At this time, Huang Zhong also led his troops down the mountain.After following Zhang Ju, he climbed to the top of the city.Continue to hunt down Zhang Bun and lead the guardian guards.

It was precisely Huang Zhong who led his troops to arrive in time, which greatly reduced the pressure on the already precarious defenders of the city tower, virtually resolved the crisis at the South Gate, and also let the Hanzhong army's beautiful vision of capturing Chencang City in one fell swoop be aborted. Failed to capture the tower.

In addition, when Fazheng issued the combat order in the evening, in order to prevent accidents, he ordered people to carry huge stones to block the city gate in advance.Its purpose is to prevent the Hanzhong army from knocking open the city gate.Then he rushed into the city in one go; after blocking the city gate, unless the Hanzhong army captured the tower.Otherwise, don't even think about stepping into the city gate.

At the beginning, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and others thought it was unnecessary to do so, but Fazheng insisted on his own opinion for the sake of caution.Unexpectedly, it was Fazheng's prudent action that played an inestimable role at the critical moment, causing the Hanzhong army to attack the city from dark to four o'clock in the middle of the night, but it was still unable to break through the city gate. was blocked from the city gate.

Even so, the situation at the South Gate is still extremely dangerous, and it is still at stake.

At the middle of the night, the east and west sides of the city walls fell one after another, so that the troops stationed in the back of the city guard's mansion could not provide nearby support.As a result, the Xiliang army became a refueling tactic, blocked by the armored warriors of the Five Dou Rice Sect on the east and west walls, unable to break through for a long time, and unable to support the defensive fight on the south gate tower.

However, the Xiliang army in the city couldn't go up, and the Hanzhong army on the tower couldn't get down either.Because the Xiliang army assembled 3000 troops on the stairs at the east and west ends, and set up strong bows and crossbows to firmly block the Hanzhong army on the tower.However, this is only a last resort and expedient measure. Once the defenders of the city tower are exhausted, the Hanzhong army will attack the city sooner or later.Once the Hanzhong army enters the city, the boulder blocking the city gate will inevitably be removed, and then Chencang City will fall.

Fortunately, Huang Zhong led his troops to arrive at the critical moment, and more than [-] soldiers of the Qin Gong Battalion swarmed up, defeated the [-] armored warriors stationed on the east tower in one fell swoop, and then fought with the guards led by Zhang Ju.

From the third watch onwards, the towers of the south gate were crowded with soldiers, and there were people in every corner. There were nearly [-] people in total, and the strength of the two sides was almost equal.

Although the numbers of the two sides were almost the same, the combat effectiveness of the guards of the Five Dou Rice Sect, that is, the armored warriors, was obviously higher than that of the Xiliang defenders.Although the 2000 armored warriors led by Zhang Ju were attacked by the Qin Gong Battalion, resulting in heavy casualties, less than [-] actually climbed the tower; The Xiliang defenders retreated steadily, completely at a disadvantage.

Under the attack from the east and west of the armored warriors, the Xiliang defenders could no longer suppress the Hanzhong army below the city to attack the city, causing more and more Hanzhong army soldiers to climb up the tower and join in the fight.Under the ebb and flow, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to the Xiliang army, and it is at stake.

Since the fierce battle, the reason why the defenders of the city tower have been able to persist until now is because the new force led by Huang Zhong joined the battle in the east, and Huang Zhong was extremely brave. morale.At the same time, on the west tower, Chen Dao, Cao, and Ma Dai led the soldiers to fight bravely, restraining the attacking momentum of the armored warriors time and time again, making the battle stalemate and persisting until now .

At four o'clock in the morning, the battle entered a fierce stage, and the fighting became more and more fierce.At every moment, hundreds of soldiers from the two armies screamed to death, and the armored warriors under Zhang Lu's command fought to the death without retreating.On the other hand, the Xiliang defenders on the city tower had no choice but to fight bloody to the end.For the opponent to fight fiercely to this extent.It depends on who can persist until the end, success or failure depends on it.

The whole situation is very unfavorable to the Xiliang army. If the fighting continues, the Xiliang soldiers on the tower will be killed or injured before dawn.And Fazheng, Ma Teng and others who led the army to guard the stairs were also leading the army to fight with the Hanzhong army who was trying to go downstairs, and both sides suffered casualties.

At this time of crisis.Fazheng, Ma Teng, Huang Zhong, Chen Dao and others could only hope that Zhao Yun, who led the Wushuang cavalry out of the city to rob the camp, would return as soon as possible.As long as Zhao Yun led the iron cavalry to attack Zhang Lu, Zhang Wei and others under the city from behind, Zhang Lu would definitely be terrified.It is bound to withdraw and flee.In this way, the crisis in Chencangcheng can be easily resolved, and even the Hanzhong army can be chased and killed in one go, and the final victory can be won.

However.It has been half an hour since the fire broke out in the Hanzhong military camp.But Zhao Yun led his troops back for a long time.From this, it is not difficult to guess that Zhao Yun led his troops to rob the camp smoothly at first, but when they set fire to the camp, they encountered stubborn resistance from the camp defenders. After half an hour of fierce fighting, the defenders were still not completely wiped out, so that the battle has not ended until now. .
