Gao Chong relied on his own bravery to easily climb the tower. Once stones and rolling logs came close to him, he would directly knock them away with his weapons.
After boarding the city tower, Gao Chong wanted to kill Murong Nong directly, so that Yuan Meng would completely lose the command level, but Murong Nong was not on the city tower, and Gao Chong didn't know Murong Nong's location, so he had no choice but to give up.
This plan.
It is impossible for Gao Chong to be so arrogant that he fought his way into the pass despite the crowds and waited until Murong Nong was killed before returning.
Although there is no one who can threaten him in Zhenbei Pass, he does not have nearly unlimited physical strength like Li Yuanba. Although Gao Chong's physical strength is abundant, it is also limited. Even if he fights to exhaustion, he can only kill a thousand people at most.
, but there are fully 20,000 defenders in Zhenbei Pass.
Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation and for his own sake, Gao Chong temporarily gave up the idea of killing Murong Nong, and could only guard a corner of the city wall, helping more soldiers climb up and fight alongside him.
While commanding the army to defend, Murong Nong observed the enemy's situation. Seeing that the Han generals who were attacking the city were extremely brave and climbed onto the tower so quickly, he was extremely anxious, so he decisively mobilized a heavy army to encircle and suppress Gao Chong.
Under Gao Chong's hard fighting and cover, at least three to four hundred people climbed up the tower. Although people continued to come up, the overall number could not increase.
It was impossible for Gao Chong to protect everyone who boarded the city, but those who boarded the city had to face two or even three enemies, so boarding the tower was just the beginning of a fierce battle, and both sides fell into a stalemate.
.
Gao Chong remembered Bai Qi's instructions to him and Jiang Song. When the number of people on the city wall he was protecting reached 400, he decisively led a small team to kill a Yuan Meng catapult.
Murong Nong's expression changed immediately after he got the news, and he shouted immediately: "Stop him, he wants to destroy the catapult, and you must rent him no matter what."
Following Murong Nong's order, Yuanmeng soldiers from all directions surrounded Gao Chong, but there was no way they could stop him.
Although there were fewer and fewer soldiers around Gao Chong, and eventually he was the only one left, Gao Chong still moved forward to kill the catapult.
When Gao Chong arrived there, that section of the city wall was in a mess, which also gave the siege army below the city a chance to climb up.
Therefore, even if all the soldiers who followed Gao Chong were dead, there were still many soldiers who boarded the city on the way, and they all subconsciously and automatically gathered around him to fight.
"Ah ha..."
Gao Chong, who had worked hard to fight a bloody path, hit the catapult in front with all his strength, and the wooden simple catapult shattered into pieces.
There are twenty-nine catapults like this at Zhenbei Pass, and Gao Chong's mission is to destroy all these catapults before the enemy general's location can be determined.
After destroying a catapult, Gao Chong continued to kill the next one without any pause.
This is destined to be a road paved with blood. Every step Gao Chong takes, one or more people will die.
On the other side, after the Han army launched an attack on the city, Zhuge Liang's army on the north side of Beiguan was also suppressed by loud shouts of killing.
"Military advisor, Governor Bai Qi is here, should we attack the city immediately?" Huang Zhong asked excitedly.
While Zhuge Liang was observing the personnel movements on the northern city wall, he was listening to the infrequent shouts of death coming from the south, and said with a faint smile: "No rush, just wait.
The Grand Governor should be personally directing the siege now. The offensive of our army in the south is very fierce, forcing Murong Nong to mobilize the troops on the north wall. After he has mobilized some troops, we will take action, and it will definitely have a miraculous effect.
"
"Good idea." All the generals nodded in agreement.
In the next two hours, nearly 3,000 soldiers were transferred to Nancheng one after another, and in the next half hour, there was no more troop transfer.
Zhuge Liang guessed that Murong Nong should have stabilized the situation, so there was no need to mobilize troops from the north city wall, so he immediately ordered: "The whole army attacks."
The Han army that was attacked Zhenbeiguan had very simple siege equipment, only crossbow formations and ladders, but Zhuge Liang commanded the siege. Yuwen Chengdu, Huang Zhong, Luo Cheng and other generals participated in the siege, plus Bei
The number of Yuan and Mongolian soldiers on the city wall was reduced by half, so that the Han army attacked the city in the first round.
To the south, Jiang Song, who had been fighting in Jiang Song for so long, had seen that the Northern Route Army, which was responsible for containing the troops on the northern city wall, did not launch an attack. He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, thinking that Zhuge Liang's army encountered something unexpected on the road.
But did not arrive as promised.
At this point in the year, Jiang Song's heart continued to sink. Without the Northern Route Army to attack him from both sides, with his 25,000 troops, even if he and Gao Chong personally participated in the siege, it would be impossible to forcefully break through Zhenbeiguan.
It's almost impossible.
"I hope General Huo Bing can come over as soon as possible. At this point, I have no other way out. I can only try my best and resign myself to fate." Jiang Song sighed lightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Song heard loud shouts of death from the north, and his face immediately showed a look of ecstasy.
"coming."
Jiang Song quickly climbed onto the high platform, raised his arms and shouted: "The reinforcements have arrived. Now our troops are attacking from the north and south of Zhenbeiguan. Let's go all out to recapture Zhenbeiguan."
"Recapture Zhenbeiguan, recapture Zhenbeiguan..."
The soldiers roared one after another, their shouts were like thunder, and their morale was like a rainbow.
"kill……"
Jiang Song handed over the command to his deputy general, and then personally rushed forward to participate in the siege, and responded to each other with Gao Chong on the left and right.
In Zhenbeiguan, when Murong Nong saw that a large number of Han troops appeared in the north and many people had already attacked the city tower, he collapsed to the ground like soft mud and murmured bitterly: "It's over, Zhenbeiguan is over, Dayuan
It’s over.”
Murong Nong never expected that the Han army would appear in the north. At this time, it was possible that the Han army would appear outside Zhenbeiguan and attack Zhenbeiguan on both sides with the Han army in the south. The only army that came out of Zhenbeiguan was the Han army. However, the information Murong Nong received was from the Han army.
The army that had left the fortress had been forced into Mobei, but the reality turned out to be outside Zhenbei Gua.
Murong Nong didn't know how the general of the Han army who came out of the Han army managed to deceive Murong Ke and everyone in Longcheng, but he knew that the Han people were definitely playing a big game, and the target was the main Mongolian army worth more than 400,000 yuan in Hetao.
.
"No wonder the Han army wanted to go out. They slaughtered the people not to vent their anger, but to force the 100,000 cavalry in Zhenbeiguan to return to the grassland. Otherwise, there would be no possibility of taking Zhenbeiguan.
Once Zhenbeiguan is lost, the connection between the more than 400,000 troops in Hetao and the grassland will be cut off. The Han army has a very deep calculation!" Murong Nong also said to himself with a look of despair.
