"If the general doesn't open the city gate, he will kill us! This is an act that is outraged by both humans and gods!"
The scout who shot the arrow kept begging.
Wang Fu's hands trembled and he looked at the documents in his hand and the tokens of several aristocratic families. They were all fine. Outside the city, he could also see groups of soldiers from aristocratic families. Those who moved slower were constantly being shot by the Shu people.
kill.
"Damn it, the Shu people are about to catch up! I'll go back and tell you that Yuncheng refuses to save you. Take pity on my Cangzhou family's army and rush to our rescue three hundred miles away!" Several scouts on horseback screamed sadly, turned their horses' heads, and were about to panic.
Announce back.
"Wait a minute! Quick, mobilize an army of 5,000 people and immediately meet our Cangzhou reinforcements!" Wang Fu ordered through gritted teeth.
"Thank you, General!" Several mounted scouts raised their hands tremblingly.
After the horse's head was turned and turned around, the leader of the cavalry scout, as if inadvertently, took out a piece of red silk and wiped his face.
…
"My lord, the red silk is red silk."
Red silk is smooth and white silk is reverse.
Xu Mu's face was ecstatic, "Be careful when giving orders and slow down the pursuit."
After all, he succeeded. Although the guard at the south gate was cautious in nature, he was probably deceived by the current situation.
In front of Xu Mu, there were only nearly five thousand "family troops" left. With the support of the south gate defenders, they began to enter the city gate in surprise.
Of course, those who were shot along the way just now were not real kills. What was hung on the bow was just an empty arrow shaft with the arrowhead pulled out. He lay down for a while, and when the inside and outside of the city came together, he would get up and fight into the city.
…
"Thank you so much, General. I will never forget your kindness, General!" Ma Yi had a look of fear on his face.
"That's easy to say."
Wang Fu nodded, turned around, and kept his eyes on a few young generals wearing bright armor. If I am not mistaken, these few should be sons of aristocratic families.
"No, aristocratic family members don't have beards——"
Wang Fu's voice stopped suddenly, and a machete slashed across the back of his neck, and his entire head disappeared.
Raising the blood-stained sword, Ma Yi's face was full of murderous intent.
"Changfeng camp, guard the city gate and wait for the lord's army to enter the city! The rest of the people, follow me in formation and kill on the top of the city!"
Caught off guard, many of the defenders at the south gate were defeated by the Shu troops that swarmed into the city before they could recover.
The civilians who were requisitioned to defend the city were just ordinary people and could not bear to fight. They abandoned their weapons one after another and knelt down to beg for mercy. Many of the remaining defenders were soldiers raised by the Zhang family. They were probably used to arrogance and refused to fight.
Abandoning his sword, Ma Yi led his men and chopped him to death on top of the city.
"Welcome, my lord, to enter the city!" Ma Yi raised a newly crowned head and roared angrily.
"Send my military order and Shu troops will enter the city!"
Xu Mu raised his arms and fists, corresponding with the Shu army rushing to seize the South Gate city.
…
In front of the Zhengbei Gate, the fighting was in full swing.
The more Zhang Shun fought, the more he felt something was wrong. The Shu people outside the city fought fiercely, but in reality, there was not much damage.
"General Zhang, something is wrong. There are only a few Shu people who ascended the formation first. This doesn't look like a rush at all." Wei Diao, who suddenly ran back, sounded anxious.
"Master Wei, what do you have in mind?"
"General Zhang, this seems to be a containment war."
"Containment war?" Zhang Shun frowned, and soon his face suddenly turned pale, "No, send people to other gates quickly, the Shu army may be trying to sneak through the gate!"
"Quick, send someone to investigate immediately!"
After finishing his words, Zhang Shun still couldn't hide the fear on his face. After thinking about it carefully, in front of the north gate of Yuncheng, it was indeed a containment war as Wei Diao said.
The pretense was so similar that it made him indulge in the tension of defending the city.
"Zhang, General Zhang, the south gate has been breached, and the defeated defenders have retreated!"
Hearing the report from the city, Zhang Shun's ears buzzed, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
The commoner thief was obviously at the north gate and kept increasing his troops, adding at least 20,000 to 30,000 troops. Why, quietly, did a large army come around to the south gate.
"General Zhang, General Zhang, what should we do now?"
Raising his head with difficulty, Zhang Shun looked at Wei Diao who was shouting, but couldn't hear clearly what he was saying. In his ears, there were only throwing stones and flying arrows, and the screams of the defenders.
"General Zhang!"
Zhang Shun let out a "hiccup" before he regained consciousness with difficulty, his voice trembling slightly.
"There is no Shu army besieging the city at the east gate. We can fight out from the east gate, or maybe we can return to Cangzhou!"
"General, there will definitely be an ambush in these three towers!"
"How about Ximen?" Zhang Shun gritted his teeth.
"There are also Shu troops attacking the city at the west gate."
"Damn it, damn it, you damn commoner thief!" Zhang Shun roared angrily. Just then, a huge boulder suddenly fell nearby.
Boom.
Dozens of Zhang family guards hurriedly raised their shields to protect Zhang Shun.
Zhang Shun pushed away the big shield and glanced at the due north gate, his voice was cold.
"Master Wei, take your troops and withdraw from the city. Before the Shu people attack, immediately ambush and kill them. In addition, tell those untouchables, regardless of men, women, old or weak, to take up arms and stop the Shu people! If
Anyone who disobeys will be killed on the spot immediately!"
Zhang Shun's idea is very simple, he just needs to block the Shu army at the south gate... If he can block it, maybe things will turn around.
If not, we will not be able to escape, we will not be able to defend, and we will really die here.
…
hold head high.
One signal arrow after another exploded into a dazzling light in the dark sky.
Dou Tong, who had been restrained for a day, showed ecstasy after seeing the signal from the sky. At this time, he was no longer cautious, but instead asked people to beat the war drums and blow the horn trombone to attack the city.
"Siege the city!"
Under the cover of flying arrows and hurled stones, the phalanxes of the Shu people who were still at a distance began to roar, carrying the city ladder, and rushed towards the ancient wall of Yuncheng.
despair.
City ladders one after another were erected on the city wall risking their lives.
"Cover and get to camp first!"
"call."
Under the city wall, the incoming archers quickly set up their long bows and aimed in the direction of the city wall. Any defenders who dared to take the lead would be quickly killed by flying arrows.
"Roll the log, roll the log!"
"Shoot down the fire arrows! Shoot these dogs to death!"
For a moment, not only the rolling log, but also the Yaksha Leap attached to the hanging iron rope rolled down. The boiling water poured over the pots must have soaked the dead animals. If it touches the skin, it will be burned to pieces.
Shu soldiers kept falling from the city ladder to their deaths. However, their morale did not decrease, and they climbed up the wall one after another to seize the barrier.
…
"General Zhang, it must have been a signal from the Shu people! The Shu army at the north gate has begun a massive attack!"
Zhang Shun's hands trembled and he kept rubbing his eyebrows.
As a result, under the strong attack from both sides, he could no longer take care of both.
"Zhang, General Zhang, over at the west city gate, four thousand Shu troops joined forces and broke down the city gate!" Another bad news came.
"At the east city gate, the ambushes of the Shu people also began to rush towards the city gate."
"Wei Diao, the helmsman of the Xia'er Army, led his troops and robbed thousands of horses from the stables in an attempt to escape from Yuncheng!"
The continuous bad news made Zhang Shun's whole body become shaky. He wanted to raise the sword to boost his morale, but he lost his strength for no reason. He only raised it halfway, and the sword fell to the ground with a crisp clang sound. This chapter has been completed!
