With the appearance of artillery carriages in Pingzhou City, Zhang Yangjun's siege ended in failure again.om

Of course, it wasn't just a few simple artillery carts that were so powerful that they directly scared away their army. Even after Zhang Yang reacted after the initial daze, he immediately discovered that although the catapults were powerful, they were not in large numbers.

Not much, and it takes a certain amount of time to prepare for each launch. It can be said that the deterrent effect is far greater than the practicality, and the shortcomings are even more obvious.

But at this moment, after the shocking appearance of the catapult, which gave Zhang Yangjun a huge visual and psychological impact and shaken their military morale, their own ladder unexpectedly got into trouble at this time.

The reason why those ladders can be nailed to the ice is because the craftsmen in Zhang Yangjun tied something like a barb on the position where the ladder comes into contact with the ice when it is put up, which can just penetrate the ice.

Then it was fixed in the layer, but at this moment, the ice layer suddenly burst one by one with a "ZZZZ" sound, and the natural force of the ladder itself

The point was lost, and as a result, the ladders with nowhere to attach fell backwards one by one. Not only was the ladder itself destroyed, but the soldiers on it were also not spared. Amidst the panic and screams, the people in front had already climbed onto the tower.

The soldiers who were unable to retreat were forced to be surrounded and killed by Lu Bu's army on the tower, unwilling to die, while the soldiers behind could not and did not dare to climb up again, which was undoubtedly a dead end.

So in this way, this massive wave of attacks ended in an anticlimactic manner.

And this is completely bad news for Zhang Yangjun, because the explosion of the ice layer is not the breakage of the frontal ice wall, but only the part where the barb on the ladder is hooked, which also proves this from the side.

In the end, the road was impassable. Neither Zhang Yang nor the sergeants wanted to do this again, so in the end they could only leave corpses on the ground and the remains of the ladder, and retreated in embarrassment again.

On that battlefield, there was no one else except the engineers from both sides who were cleaning the battlefield. The red blood and the white snow were still intertwined, and there was something inexplicable and strange in the sweeping north wind.

Another wave of attacks was defeated. The morale of Zhang Yang's army had dropped to the lowest point when he returned to the military camp. Even Zhang Yang himself began to doubt whether the decision he made was right or wrong.

But he was unwilling to retreat back to Taiyuan just like that. After all, Pingzhou City was very close at the moment, and Lu Bu was inside. And now he only had no more than 2,000 soldiers and horses around him. Wanting to get rid of him would undoubtedly be unreasonable.

It's the best opportunity, if you miss it, you won't get it again.

But Pingzhou, a small town that was nothing in Zhang Yang's eyes, turned out to be the biggest obstacle preventing him from realizing his wish. The result was probably due to excessive worry and anger, fatigue, and the impact of climate aggression in the ice and snow.

Zhang Yang, who returned to the camp, caught a cold that night and fell ill on the bed. The 17,000-strong army was wasted here.

As the days passed, the deadlock outside Pingzhou City continued, and so did Zhang Yang's illness.

It was morning two days later, and Zhang Yang had already woken up. Although he still felt a little tired, he did not return to the couch. Instead, he sat by the fire to warm his hands and think about the issue of attacking the city.

At this time, an announcement came from outside the tent, and Zhang Yang shouted "Come in", and he saw a figure opening the tent and hurriedly walked in and said: "The general is in trouble..."

Zhang Yang suddenly jumped up with an "ah" sound. He looked at the messenger with extremely eager eyes, which frightened the eager messenger into a daze. He had never seen Zhang Yang look like this before.

What's more, Zhang Yang should still be ill at this time, which was even more unimaginable to him.

However, to comfort myself, I thought that the general should be paying attention to the war all the time. He was worried about the war not going well, so he became sick. It was also why he was so excited now. When he thought of the military information he had received, his heart sank again. In fact,

I'm a little reluctant to disturb the general at this time, but it's a pity...

He sighed. After saluting, he said: "The general is in trouble. I just received news from Jinyang City. General Yang Chou came to us to ask for help. It is said to be, it is said to be..." He looked at

Zhang Yang, whose eyes suddenly sharpened, still continued bravely: "It is said that Jinyang City is now surrounded by a team under the banner of Bingzhou Army. The leading general is an unfamiliar face, and their number is roughly estimated to be no less than one."

Thousands of people.”

As soon as he heard what the messenger said, Zhang Yang suddenly stood up, his pupils widened, and his face was extremely ferocious. This unprecedented look almost scared the messenger,

Then the messenger

Then I saw him tremblingly stretching out his hand, and just as he was about to go over and help him, Zhang Yang suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, splashing all over the face and body of the messenger, and then saw him fall backward like this.

Go down.

…

Early that morning, Lu Bu went to patrol the city tower. There was still no movement in Zhang Yang's barracks, as if there was no one inside at this moment. If he hadn't found any clues that the other party had left, and people would come out to patrol from time to time, Lu Bu would also

You would have thought that Zhang Yang would just leave here.

By the time he returned to the county government office, it was already afternoon.

He hasn't had much rest in the past few days, not because of Zhang Yang's siege. Although it can't be said that he can sit back and relax after having that ice wall, but looking at the effect last time, Zhang Yangjun's siege is undoubtedly very disappointing.

It went well, although Pingzhou City is still trapped at this time, and Zhang Yang still has 16,700 people outside.

The danger of Zhan Zhibing has not been eliminated yet, but Lu Bu was just trying to hold Zhang Yang back, and never thought of relying on this small town to defeat him or break out, so everything now is going according to his plan.

, but the news from over there hasn’t come through yet, which makes him somewhat uneasy.

Although I told myself not to rush or to rush, I still couldn't help but think about that place from time to time. I carefully calculated the time. It was already the sixth or seventh day since they left. Even if they took a detour, from here to

The distance there is not that far, and there are not too difficult obstacles in the middle. Have they not reached their destination yet?

Lu Bu rubbed his temples, feeling that he was too impressed again, but also, ever since he decided to leave Luoyang and even break up with Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu has been very nervous, because from then on, it meant that he would be in various situations.

Amid all possible dangers, compared to when he had Dong Zhuo as a shield in Luoyang, now he will face these threats head-on.

He can't be said to be afraid of these, but it should be said that he is a person who knows history very well and can almost predict the encounters of various people and the development of some things at this time, but now his participation is equivalent to messing up everything.

, "history" is no longer the history that I am familiar with, and I no longer have my greatest advantage, which is foresight, and I feel more or less confused and vaguely panicked.

To put it bluntly, although he has been completely integrated with his body and part of his soul, and has a "power" that is unique to him and different from the original Lu Bu, psychologically speaking, he is not strong enough.

I took a few deep breaths to calm down my emotions a little. No matter what I was in my previous life, or what kind of soul I had in my body, but now I am the commander-in-chief of an army, or even a prince. Everyone can feel confused, except myself.

Can.
