The soldiers who were attacking the city subconsciously turned their heads and looked back.
A familiar figure was carrying an iron halberd, with his eyes wide open and his voice hoarse, striding towards Zhuanguan, and behind him were the direct descendants of his original squad.
"Is it General Zhang? It's actually General Zhang!"
"Why did he go into battle to kill the enemy himself?"
"General Zhang is brave and unafraid of death, so what do we have to fear?"
"That's right! General Zhang went into battle to kill the enemy in person, how can we be afraid of death!"
"Brothers, show us the skills of our Funiu Mountain warriors and follow me to charge!"
"..."
Niu Yong, who was directing the battle below the city, was deeply moved.
Because, he truly realized that Zhang Liao did not regard them as scapegoats, otherwise he would not have personally led his direct troops to help out. They truly regarded these Funiu Mountain grass bandits as brothers.
This moment.
Niu Yong's nose was sore and his eyes were red.
He waved his hand fiercely and pulled away the soldiers who were about to climb the ladder: "Stand down and let me do it! You will follow me. This battle must show the majesty of our Funiu Mountain warriors."
"Ho~~~"
The soldiers beside him raised their weapons and roared in unison.
When Niu Yong climbed up the ladder with his sword, all the soldiers followed him.
At the same time, the crossbowmen who were responsible for covering fired a volley of arrows, and the dense arrows rained down on the top of Zanguan City. Who knows how many Xiliang soldiers were killed.
A general will not fear death, and a soldier will not care about his life.
When Zhang Liao personally led his soldiers to rush towards Zengguan, the morale of the soldiers who were attacking the city skyrocketed. They all seemed to have been pumped with blood, as if they had endless strength in their bodies.
"Get out of the way!"
Zhang Liao rushed to the ladder, holding the iron halberd in one hand and grabbing the ladder with the other, and flew upwards with quick steps.
He raised his eyes and stared at the movements of the Xiliang soldiers at the top of the city. With a cursory glance, he saw at least three longbows aimed at him.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Arrows were shot out one after another, roaring towards Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao's reaction was not unpleasant. He turned around sharply to avoid the arrows on one side. At the same time, he swung the iron halberd in his palm and cut off all two arrows flying from the other side.
Take advantage of this opportunity.
No matter how fast Zhang Liao was, he was like a spiritual snake, darting upwards more than ten feet.
Just when he was only ten feet away from the city head, two cold spears shot out diagonally, intending to stab him to death on the ladder.
pity......
Zhang Liao had experienced hundreds of battles and had already expected this.
He paused, blocked the air with his iron halberd, and easily caught the thrusting spear. Then he twisted his wrist, locked the spear head with the halberd's ears, and pulled it down suddenly.
The two spears were pulled out of Zhang Liao's hands and flew seven or eight feet away. The spearheads sank into the soil outside the pass, leaving only the spear shafts outside, shaking tremblingly.
The pace is fast.
Zhang Liao continued to climb.
but......
Less than five feet away from the city head, he did not climb any further, but lay dormant and waiting like a hunting tiger.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The next second, a hail of arrows roared from the sky, covering the city in an instant.
After the rain of arrows, Zhang Liao climbed up without any hesitation. He waved the iron halberd in his palm and jumped up, appearing among the battlements of the city wall.
now.
The sun sets in the west, lengthening his figure.
Like a golden god of war, it intimidated the Xiliang defenders.
"Zhang Liao of Yanmen is here."
"Kill~~~"
This roar.
It's like spring thunder bursting out of the mouth, and thunderbolts shaking on the tip of the tongue.
All the Xiliang soldiers on the city were so frightened that their seven souls lost three of their souls, and their bodies were shaking like chaff.
"Ho~~~"
A roar erupted from the city, and morale soared.
One by one, they quickened their pace and stormed toward the city head.
Especially for the ladder behind Zhang Liao, all the soldiers were scrambling to climb it, climbing it very fast.
Even Xun Yu, who was fighting outside the city, couldn't help but nod and praise: "Zhang Liao is a true tiger general!"
*****
at the same time.
Xiaoyao Village.
Niu Fu led the army back, and the entire army wore simple masks to cover their mouths and noses to prevent Liu Bian's dogwood powder strategy.
With a cry, Niu Fu drew his sword out of its sheath, stared at the city with angry eyes, and gave a stern order:
"Attack~~~"
"kill!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The golden drums shook the sky, and the shouts of killing continued.
The Wancheng defenders carried shields and swarmed toward the city head like a tide.
This time, they seemed to have taken full precautions and stormed Wubao with determination to win.
Niu Fu grinned his steel teeth, looked fiercely, and whispered to himself: "I want to see what other methods you have this time!"
Next to him, Zhang Zi cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "General Niu, although we retreated, we didn't waste too much time. We can still continue the night attack strategy."
"Um."
Niu Fu nodded and said solemnly: "If this were not the case, how could we fight again today? Governor Zhang can rest assured that on this day alone, I, the general, will kill the important criminal in the imperial court and return to the capital in triumph."
Zhang Zi secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's very good."
The defenders of Nawan City were used as cannon fodder, and they had to pay it back once or twice. Once it went on for a long time, it might lead to a military rebellion.
Niu Fu might also feel that it was not appropriate, so he said that he would defeat the enemy one day and make Zhang Zi feel at ease.
but......
He seems to have overestimated himself again.
At the top of Wubao City, Langya Pai and Yaksha are actually gone.
Instead, there were tall wooden shelves with a large pot on top, and a fire was lit under the pot, as if something special was being brewed.
Looking at the gloomy garrison under the city, Liu Bian's lips curled up and he said to himself: "Niu Fu really won't give up until he hits the south wall, and he won't shed tears until he sees the coffin. Let's give him a change this time."
"pity......"
Liu Bian shook his head with regret: "These guys all wore masks. I feel that the lethality of this gold juice tactic has been reduced by more than half."
The Military Advisor Alliance immediately said: "Don't worry, Master Bian. In fact, the lethality of the golden juice tactics has nothing to do with the taste. It is mainly caused by high-temperature burns combined with bacteria, causing wound infection."
"The medical level in the late Han Dynasty was poor, and the medical level in the army was even worse. Bacterial infections were difficult to treat. Although they would not die immediately, such patients would not live for two days, which would have a huge impact on the enemy's morale."
"And the experts said..."
The Military Advisor Alliance emphasized: "Niu Fu made the Wancheng defenders act as scapegoats, and the Wancheng defenders were scalded and infected to death. It would be even more fun if Master Bian only used a little provocation to cause conflict between the two sides."
"It makes sense!"
Liu Bian's eyes suddenly brightened, and he was thoughtful: "We are all raised by our father and mother. Maybe Zhang Zi is afraid of Niu Fu, but once this group of soldiers breaks out, I'm afraid the commotion will not be small. Even if they can't cause a mutiny, they can stop the war."
It’s also pretty good.”
Hehe~~~
Liu Bian was secretly happy. He stared at the Wancheng defenders who were attacking the city and immediately ordered: "Zhang Sima, it's almost time. It's time to give them a taste of the feast we have prepared for them."
Zhang Zhen cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "I will finally understand."
Immediately.
Zhang Zhen waved his hand: "Brothers, prepare the golden juice!"
More than a dozen golden juice carts were pushed towards the female wall.
Without waiting for the other party to react, Zhang Zhenkeng ordered: "Down~~"
Wow~~~
The golden waterfall is steaming and pouring down.
