Most importantly, in order to hide their whereabouts, the soldiers and horses led by Xu Shu did not carry heavy siege weapons. The strongest long-range strike weapons were simple crossbow carts and two temporarily built siege vehicles, and all other weapons were ordinary Weapons, knives, guns, shields and bows and arrows, etc.Therefore, all their hopes were pinned on a sneak attack on the city gate, trying to seize the city gate in one fell swoop, and then the army swarmed up to seize the entire city.

But now a quarter of an hour has passed, and the city gate is still closed.There were originally only 500 defenders on the city tower, but when Jiang Qin led two thousand soldiers and horses to hit the city gate, two thousand archers suddenly appeared on the top of the city. The men and horses shot and killed more than half of them, which was really a blow to the head, and made Jiang Qin dizzy.As the number of defenders at the top of the city increased to more than [-], the pressure on Xu Shu's army to attack the city increased sharply, so that Xu Shu originally thought that he would be able to capture the city gate with a single effort, but now a quarter of an hour has passed, and the city gate is still as firm as a rock, standing still. Do not move.

Fortunately, the defenders at the top of the city also suffered huge casualties during this period. 1000 defenders have been fighting so far, and there are less than 5000 left.In contrast, the casualties of the Jingzhou army were three times those of the defenders, and [-] troops were lost in just a quarter of an hour.

As time passed, Xu Shu reined in his horse and stopped by the moat, looked up at the fighting on the top of the city, his mind was very nervous, his left hand clenched the rein tightly, his fist clucked, his right hand clenched the hilt of his sword, and the saber was quietly drawn out half.

"Where is Wei Yan?" Hearing the sound, Wei Yan came out and rode his horse to Xu Shu.

At this moment, seeing Xu Shu pull out his saber, he said in a deep voice, "Looking at the situation, Zhou Tai has already missed, but we have no choice but to attack. The matter has come to this point, there is no good way, but to attack with all our strength. The gate of the city. Trouble Wen Chang personally led the army to attack the city, and I led the army to follow up and smash the city gate at all costs!"

Wei Yan looked at Xu Shu in amazement, but Ling Kong met Xu Shu's cold and sharp eyes, and his eyes immediately met. Wei Yan's eyes flashed, and he was stunned, and replied: "Promise, the last general will take orders!" Immediately reined in Turning around, he led five thousand soldiers and horses under his tent and went straight to the city gate.

After riding his horse for more than ten steps, Wei Yan suddenly turned around, glanced at Xu Shu again, and thought to himself: "No wonder the military advisor (Pang Tong) called him a lunatic Xu, and a scribe has such a fierce murderous aura. Experience! Looking at this posture, he seems to want to personally lead the army to attack the city. With me, Wei Yan, here, is it necessary for you, a literati, to charge forward?"

At this point, Wei Yanyue raised his sword and rode his horse straight towards the city gate, shouting loudly: "There are only a few hundred defenders left on the top of the city, so it's nothing to worry about. All the soldiers follow me to attack the city gate." The first person to enter the city gate would have recommended him to be promoted to a third rank, rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, ten altars of fine wine, and a beautiful woman!"

"Go into the city! Kill!" Wei Yan's loud reward drew a positive response from all the soldiers, but seeing five thousand soldiers running wildly, their running speed was actually comparable to Wei Yan's sprinting speed on horseback.Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man.Wei Yan always kept his word, and won the support of the soldiers. Now that he made the promise in public, the soldiers under his tent naturally believed it, and rushed to the city gate with all their strength.

Chapter 263 Bloody Mountains and Rivers ([-])

In front of the city gate, Jiang Qinlema stood at the corner on the left side of the gate opening, which was a dead corner for the defenders' archers and was relatively safe.Under his loud shouts one after another, more than [-] soldiers, with arrows raining on their heads, pushed the chariot with all their strength, and slammed into the city gate again.

"Oh!"

As the solid crossbar on the city rush car slammed into the city gate, the originally tight city gate suddenly made a "creak" sound, and then a gap the size of a fist opened.

"Hey, there's a door! Try harder and break open the city gate!" Jiang Qin, who was on horseback, cried out in surprise.Apparently, he was going to wait until the crack in the door cracked again, gallop his horse and rush up, cut off the latch with his knife, and was the first to rush into the city gate.

Just now, Jiang Qin almost gave up hitting the city gate, because it took too long to hit the city gate, and he didn't break through for a quarter of an hour.During this period, the defenders in the city can completely block the city gate. It only takes 300 people to move huge boulders to block the city gate within a quarter of an hour. ?Even if the city gate was smashed, there was still a huge boulder behind the gate, but it was still in vain, and it was impossible to rush in.

However, this crisp sound and cracking crack rekindled his hope, and he saw the dawn of victory faintly.With years of rich experience on the battlefield, judging from the sound and cracks made by the bolt in the middle of the city gate just now, he was sure that the city gate was not blocked, as long as he hit it hard again, the bolt would be broken and the city gate would be smashed open in one fell swoop.And he put all his energy into waiting for the opportunity to cut off the door bolt just to make sure nothing would go wrong, and of course his urgency to see Zhou Tai was in it.

As a brother who has shared weal and woe for many years, since Zhou Tai led his army to sneak into the city in disguise.Jiang Qin felt palpitations from time to time, and he was restless and restless throughout the day.He had a vague premonition that Zhou Tai's departure would be more or less ominous, and he might never return.Lost life.This ominous premonition became stronger when he led the army to attack the city. He was always thinking about Zhou Tai's safety. dance non-stop.However, except for a little movement at the beginning of the siege, there was no sound from behind the city gate for a quarter of an hour. Everything was too abnormal.It was so quiet.The quietness makes people flustered, the quietness makes people suffocate, and the quietness makes Jiang Qin feel confused and worried.

"Bang!" Amidst another loud noise, the Chongcheng Wood hit the city gate again, and the crack of the gate cracked open, revealing the latch inside.As the gap got bigger and bigger, the door bolt slammed open, and the door bolt at the upper end of the city gate, which was slightly thinner, burst together with the door bolt in the middle.However, at the time when more than [-] soldiers were pushing the city cart and trying to smash open the city gate in one fell swoop.But encountered great resistance.This resistance comes from the bolt below the city gate.

But seeing that the middle and upper sections of the city gate have cracked a gap as thick as an arm, and the two door bolts have been cracked and broken, but the lower door bolt has not moved at all.Not only that, under the collision of more than 200 people.On the contrary, the strong city gate burst out with even greater rebounding force, which was so violent that it rushed to the city wall and dragged more than two hundred soldiers back for more than ten steps, so that hundreds of soldiers were caught off guard and fell to the ground. More than 20 people were seriously injured and seven soldiers were trampled to death.

at the same time.The moment the city gate cracked open, Jiang Qin rode his horse and rushed forward.Holding the knife in both hands, he swung the knife with all his strength and slashed at the door latch in the middle.Unexpectedly, the knife fell through.

A second before the saber fell, the door latch cracked and broke, causing Jiang Qin's saber to slash down from the crack of the latch, and then slashed heavily on the object behind the door.

"Pu Kacha!" Amidst the muffled sound, Jiang Qin saw that Jiang Qin's saber hit another dark object and made a crisp sound.Immediately, the saber was pinched, and at this moment the city gate closed again, and the gap disappeared. Jiang Qin, who was in astonishment, was about to pull out the saber, but was shocked by the huge rebound force when the city gate closed, and the whole person was shocked. Zhen flew out and fell heavily on the city wall.

"Ah!" Jiang Qin, whose limbs were flying in the air, smashed on the wall on the right edge of the city gate before he recovered his senses. Suddenly he screamed in pain, and his left lower abdomen was forcibly smashed by the blunt wall, leaving his armor behind. The next wound was two inches long, and the depth could not be measured visually, and blood gushed out like water breaking a bank.

There was a crisp "clang" sound at the same time as Jiang Qin's slamming to the ground. After landing, most of Jiang Qin's upper body was stained red with blood. sword.The saber belonged to him, and he was sent flying by it just now, but right now the saber was in front of him, but it was a broken and mutilated saber, the three-foot-long blade was now only one foot long, and it was broken. There is still a piece of flesh and blood embedded in the knife, and blood is dripping from the remaining blade.

Seeing that the long-handled war knife that had been with him for many years became like this, Jiang Qin's heart was also bleeding, and he felt extremely sorry. This indescribable pain was even worse than the wound on his lower left abdomen.Struggling to stand up, Jiang Qin gritted his teeth and tore off the damaged armor, tore off his shirt and tied the wound tightly. At this time, his personal soldiers stepped forward, took out a white silk from the leather pouch on his back, handed it to him, and then helped him bandage the wound .The rest of the guards raised their shields above the heads of the two of them, covering the two of them like a shield, guarding against the defenders at the top of the city waiting for an opportunity to release arrows.

After a while, the soldiers helped Jiang Qin to sit down at the dead corner where he had just stationed his horse, and he was still holding the broken saber in his hand, staring blankly at the gap of the broken saber, dazed and absent-minded.At this time, his wound was still bleeding, his face was pale, and his lips were purple. All these indicated that his left lower abdomen was seriously injured. He lost blood and died.

Following Jiang Qin's sudden injury, the soldiers in front of the city gate also stopped. They are all Jiang Qin's trilogy. he.Obviously, they all saw that their general was seriously injured and his intestines fell out the moment he slid off the wall.The most urgent thing is to leave the battlefield as soon as possible and find a doctor to rescue the general. As for the siege, it has nothing to do with them.

"Why did you stop attacking the city without authorization? The city gate was about to be smashed open, but you retreated without authorization. Do you think this general dare not kill you?" Wei Yan rode his horse and ran to the city gate, sitting high on his horseback Pointing a knife at the head of the guard under Jiang Qin's tent, he sternly ordered him to lead his troops to continue attacking the city with a livid face.

Just now Wei Yan saw the scene of smashing the city gate from a distance, and also saw the whole process of Jiang Qin being sent flying by the sword and hitting the wall beside the city wall.Although he was fifty steps away from the city gate at that time, he clearly saw that Jiang Qin was nearly disemboweled by the hard corner of the wall, with his intestines exposed, as if he was seriously injured and dying, and his life was not long.For such a serious injury, let alone on the battlefield, even in Xiangyang City of Jingzhou, once the belly is disembowelled, it is completely hopeless; unless the genius doctor Hua Tuo takes action himself, he can only watch the blood flow continuously until he dies.

The reason for this understanding is that Wei Yan had heard about the miracle doctor Hua Tuo's treatment of Liu Bei.It is said that one of Liu Bei's legs was broken at that time, and his left arm was cut off by Li Liqi's shoulder.Unexpectedly, he was rescued abruptly by the genius doctor Hua Tuo. It has been more than seven years, and I heard that Liu Bei is still alive and well.Therefore, seeing Jiang Qin seriously injured, Wei Yan already regarded him as a dead person, and could completely ignore his existence; even if he is not dead at the moment, he is not far from death, but he still has breath, at most an hour Will die completely.

Since he was a dead person, Wei Yan naturally wouldn't take him seriously.Therefore, after he rode his horse and rushed over, he ignored Jiang Qin's existence at all, accused Jiang Qin's trilogy arrogantly, and beheaded the head of the personal guard with a knife if he dared to disobey his orders.

Hearing the sound, Jiang Qin came back to his senses, but did not look back at Wei Yan. He immediately stood up holding the broken saber, gasped for a few short breaths, then took a deep breath, pointed to the position of the latch under the city gate, and said in a low voice: "Impact!" Here, by squeezing the corpses behind the city gate, you can break open the city gate and continue to attack the city." After speaking, he signaled his soldiers to help him onto the horse, and he ignored Wei Yan from the beginning to the end.Perhaps, in his eyes, Wei Yan is also a dying person, and he can completely ignore his existence.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The city rushing car hit the city gate again and again, making the gap in the city gate bigger and bigger, and it seemed to be on the verge of falling, and it might be knocked down at any time.When the city charging vehicle hit the city gate for the tenth time, with a crisp "click", the extremely stubborn base latch was finally cracked and broken, and the two city gates slammed down.However, the gates of the city did not fall to the inside of the city, but two gates staggered towards each other, blatantly falling to the outside of the city.Immediately, more than a dozen soldiers closest to the city gate were unable to dodge, and were smashed straight on by the city gate, smashed into meatloaf, but the three soldiers who escaped by chance were pinned down, disabled even if they did not die.

Just when the three sergeants who had their hands and feet pinned down screamed in pain, Wei Yanyang swung his saber, lifted the reins and let his horse leap onto the gate, and immediately led the [-] troops under his tent to rush into the city gate.At this moment, Wei Yan didn't notice at all that Jiang Qin, who was standing at the corner of the city gate, stared at his impatient figure with cold eyes, and Jiang Qin raised his hand to stop his steps, signaling them not to rush into the city , Get out of the way and let Wei Yan's army go first.

At the same time, with the collapse of the city gate, the situation in the corridor of the city gate also appeared in Jiang Qin's eyes.But I saw that the corridor about ten feet long and five feet wide was full of corpses. From the gate of the city to the end of the corridor, there were three layers of dead bodies in disorder, especially at the gate of the city. The corpses were piled up to a height of seven feet. The height of five corpses piled up.

Chapter 264 Bloody Mountains and Rivers ([-])

From his visual inspection, Jiang Qin knew that these men in black and soft armor were from the lower part of Zhou Tai's tent. There were as many as 300 of them. Most of them were lying here at the moment, and there were no more than ten lucky survivors.

And the reason why the city gate had such a huge rebound force just now was because these corpses blocked the city gate. More than 300 corpses were scattered in such a small space, forcibly filling up all the gaps behind the city gate, so that more than [-] soldiers from outside the city repeatedly rammed the city gate, breaking the latch, but still hitting the city gate. Do not open the city gate.

When the siege soldiers finally smashed through the door, they encountered a strong rebound, causing Jiang Qin to be backlashed by the anti-shock force when the city gate was closed, and suffered a lot, so that he was seriously injured and lost his life.

"All the soldiers don't need to pay attention to the corpses on the ground, follow me into the city, and go straight to the sheriff's mansion!"

Just when Jiang Qin opened his eyes wide and searched for Zhou Tai's body in the passageway of the city gate, he saw Wei Yan leaping onto the door panel and swinging his knife to pick up the corpses piled up behind the door. Open, clear a gap for entering the city.Immediately, Wei Yanyue raised his saber on his horse, loudly ordered the soldiers and horses under the tent to follow, and then rushed into the city gate, trampling the corpses on the ground into the bloody city gate corridor.

However, although Wei Yan is extremely conceited, he is not a brave and foolhardy person.Just like now, when clearing the entrance to the city, he waved his hand to signal the captain of the guards to lead a hundred guards to explore the way first, while he led and followed.Therefore, when he leaped into the corridor of the city gate, the hundreds of personal soldiers in front had already walked out of the corridor smoothly, so he could gallop on his horse and quickly pass through the corridor.

However, Wei Yan ignored it.He is not the only wise man in the world.He claims to be capable of both civil and military skills and is extremely smart, and others may not be as smart as him.He is not as brave as him, but others are not fools.Even if he can't beat him head-on, it's still no problem to hide in the dark and wait for an opportunity to attack.

The reason why the people hiding in the dark targeted Wei Yan in the sneak attack was because he was standing at the gate of the city and giving orders, which directly exposed his identity as a general.Otherwise, even if he was wearing general armor, as long as he kept quiet and with the help of the dim light in the tunnel, he could completely avoid the attention of the attackers, and then rush into the city amidst the army.It's a pity that his flamboyant and uninhibited personality determines his acting style.It also determined his fate.

Just when Wei Yance stepped on the dead body and rushed into the corridor for more than ten steps, there was a sudden "swoosh" sound in the corridor, and then a dense stream of arrows and arrows rained down, and more than [-]% of the hidden arrows were aimed at He came, and there were eight crossbow bolts in it.

Xi Yuyu

By the moat, war horses neighed.The moment the city gate collapsed, Xu Shu immediately reined in his horse, held up his sword, and said loudly: "The city gate has been broken. All the soldiers followed me into Yangdi City! Kill!" The horse broke free, swung his sword and rushed towards the door.Following his order, [-] horsemen ran wildly.They scrambled to follow Xu Shu straight to the city gate and rushed to kill him.

At this moment, the Jingzhou army, which was attacking the city with the help of ladders, resolutely gave up attacking the city and approached the city gate from both sides.Join Xu Shu's army and rush towards the city gate like a tide.

Fu Wushuang arrives.Misfortunes never come singly.Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night in Yangdi City, and it is also a disaster.Enough to make countless nights to remember for a lifetime.Just as the west gate collapsed, the originally silent east gate and north gate were suddenly attacked at the same time, and it was a large-scale siege of heavy siege ordnance with full firepower.But when the siege army attacked the city, more than [-] Thunderbolt chariots threw kerosene jars. When the flames lit up the sky above the city tower, more than one hundred Thunderbolt chariots threw boulders and bombarded the tower.

With the help of the cupping jars roaring into the sky, Ji Ling who was stationed at the east gate and Chen Lan who was stationed at the north gate almost simultaneously saw the army of Cao Jun in the Northern Wei Dynasty in the dark.This is the southward army led by Cao Ren.

And he actually led the army to Yangdi City tonight, and the attack time was only a quarter of an hour later than the Jingzhou Army led by Xu Shu.However, he suddenly launched an attack at the most critical moment in Yangdi City, and his attack was a wild bombardment. The fire pot cleared the way, followed by rolling stones and smashing. The fierceness of the attack was amazing.This is Cao Ren, who has completely learned Cao Cao's method of using troops without attacking, and he is fierce and sturdy.

When the three city gates were attacked at the same time, Yangzhai City was facing an unprecedented severe test, like a fallen leaf in the wind and rain, crumbling and not knowing where it would fall.Together with Yang Zhai, Sima Yi, who is in charge of military power, is also undergoing the test. This is his first time in charge of the army, and it is also the first time he is alone.Unexpectedly, God thinks highly of him and takes special care of him. He encountered such a difficult problem when he was in charge of the army for the first time, which directly endangered his property and life.Perhaps, this is the heaven's punishment for his suggestion that Li Li use "Jin" as the title of the country. Changing fate against the sky often requires paying a corresponding price.

Dividing line

Under the same sky, the same quiet night, the same shy crescent moon hangs under the night sky, and the stars are dim.

The banks of the Yellow River.A gray black shadow flowed down the south bank, stretching back and forth for several miles. After the black shadow slowly stopped, ordinary black-covered boats appeared.

Amidst the sound of "squeaking" water, the fishing boat rowed quietly to the shore in the dark, and immediately stepped out of the boat, tall and mighty soldiers. After the soldiers came ashore one after another, the last boat slowly sailed to On the shore, after coming to a complete stop, four burly men with a height of nearly ten feet, and a petite "little soldier" walked out.

Compared with these tall soldiers with strong backs and waists, the "little soldiers" are really small.First of all, it is small, standing in the crowd is generally half a head shorter than others; secondly, it is small in stature, with shoulders only half the width of these burly men; finally, it is light in weight, with slender arms, thin legs and a small waist, but its chest is fluffy, The buttocks and hips are plump, with protruding lordosis and back curling, which is in stark contrast to the strong men with thick backs and waists.Therefore, Xiao Bing stands out in the crowd and looks out of place, like a little wild cat mixed in with tigers, leopards and wolves. It is not easy to find if you don't look carefully.
