Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 669: break the city

Zhong Xingyin has lost a lot of weight in the past few months. He looked around the people in the hall and said: "Zhao Jun used his ingenuity to claim that the gods helped him. Today, our army is passively beaten, morale is exhausted, and manpower is exhausted. Say, how should we defend?"

Everyone in the tent looked tired, and their eyes were darkened. If you like to play and read, come to Lewen Novel.com. LX. The Zhao army has been sieging the city for more than 20 days, especially in the past few days, the offensive has been too fierce. The guards have to defend the four walls of the city and fill the gaps. There is nothing to do far.

Zhong Xingyin waited for a long time and saw no one answered, so he could only look up at the sky and sigh: "Can't we even persist until the reinforcements arrive and the Zhi clan help?"

Just at this moment, Zhang Liushuo, the leader of Chaoge Song, stood up and said, "The foreign minister has a plan."

Bank of China Yin was overjoyed: "What's the plan?"

"What Zhao Jun relies on is nothing more than the dozens of siege weapons. I went up to the city to observe for a long time, and at first I pulled it back one day and night, but these days Zhao Jun may have found it troublesome, so he just left it to stand in place, at most a little bit. Retreat a hundred paces. I expected that Zhao Bing was proud because it was too smooth, and he underestimated Chaoge. If he sent a dead soldier to rush out in the middle of the night, carrying the torch grease, he would surely be able to burn these instruments one by one. , as long as half of it is destroyed, our morale will rise, and we can support it for a few more months..."

Zhong Xingyin thought it made sense, and asked who could lead the troops out of the city to rush, but no one came forward, and the house fell silent.

Zhong Xingyin is like the ruler of a country in the east of Taihang, but he has suffered countless humiliations in the past few months. No one dares to answer? You are not men!"

His anger caused everyone in the tent to avoid the banquet and bow down, afraid to speak.

Zhong Xingyin finally stood up with his sword and said angrily, "If that's the case, then I'll go into battle in person and go out of town to fight!"

Everyone stood up to stop it. He is now the person with the highest status and prestige in the city, and the security of the city is at stake. Only then did someone bite the bullet and come out to plead guilty, willing to try it out of the city after dark.

...

It is night, the moonlight is like water.

The gate of Chaoge West slowly opened, and a group of "dead men" with nearly a thousand people sneaked out of the city, although they were called dead men. But they are more than a point and a half worse than the Dongyang Jinzun who risked their lives in the battle of the CCP, and their equipment may be better, but everyone's face is full of apprehension and anxiety, as if they are doing a go-to game. Adventure back.

If it weren't for heavy rewards and military persecution, they would never have come out.

Only after going out of the city can one feel how violent the catapult's attack on Chaoge has been in the past few days.

Most of Zhao Jun's cumbersome siege weapons were distributed on the southern city wall, but the Chaoge defenders did not go out of the southern gate, but crawled over from the west gate against the root of the wall. They planned to make a surprise attack after arriving at the south city wall, burn the siege equipment and then go back through the south gate.

In the dark, the dozens of siege machines were like giant beasts that silently waited for the city to break and devoured the living.

Zhao Jun's defense seems to be really lax these days. There are only some simple earth barriers, ravines and fences in front of such an important siege equipment. foreign.

After the guards of Chaoge got close to the target, they suddenly got up and rushed forward more than a hundred paces in one go. They wanted to quickly set fire to Zhao Jun before he could react.

But until they reached the weak protective belt, not only was there no one to stop them. You can't even see a single figure. If you take a closer look, where are the soldiers of the Zhao family who are dozing off in the ravine? It is clearly a wooden shelf and scarecrow with human clothes hanging.

"No, there is a fraud!"

The guards, no matter how stupid. At this moment, he also reacted, and he was suddenly shocked.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of hurried drums in the Zhao Jun camp, which was originally silent and dark. They all came out of the ground. These people crawl for a long time in the trench covered with reed mats and sand. At this moment, they all removed the cover, jumped out with armor and weapons, shouted in unison, and at the same time killed the guards in the direction of the song.

Although the guards of Chaoge knew the plan at this time, it was too late.

They originally took advantage of Zhao Jun's pride and slack, and their defenses were loose. They came to attack Zhao's former camp with a chance of 1 in 10,000 and burned down the siege equipment. However, Zhao Wuxi took advantage of the mentality of the defenders in the city to set up an ambush. Suddenly, the situation turned sharply. of apprehension.

They had lost their fighting spirit, and after only a little parry twice, they couldn't resist, and they didn't have time to fight to the death and burn the trebuchet, and instead began to flee to the city.

However, outside the south gate of Chaoge, which was empty just now, there were several ambush troops. Hundreds of cavalry were divided into two teams and galloped from the side with torches. A cavalry general in red and black leather armor led Down rush to kill.

The guards of Chaoge are tired and courageous. How can they be the opponents of these thousands of ambush soldiers? However, after three or two dashes, they were all killed, and the leading military officer was also killed in the battle.

On the top of the city, Bank of China Yin and Zhang Liushuo looked ashen and watched the whole process. During this period, many guards who were lucky enough to slip through the net ran to the south gate and knocked on the door for help, but the people in the city could not resist, and in the end they watched helplessly as they were killed by Zhao. The army's crossbows were nailed to the city gates one by one...

Bank of China Yin made a desperate attempt to send someone to lead his troops out of the city, and the adventure was over. Zhao Jun's catapult was unharmed, and he continued to throw stones into the city the next day, but this time, there were some other things mixed in:

The heads of the guards who were killed yesterday... were thrown back into the city one by one, fell to the ground and smashed into rotten flesh, pink brains and black and red blood all over the city, this is the most important thing for the defenders. Cruel mental attack, the guards who have seen a lot of blood and fighting these days all vomit and panic.

In this way, the city wall of Chaoge has not fallen, but the psychological defense line of the defenders has completely collapsed!

The next day, under the bombardment of the trebuchets, the Zhao army launched a general attack. In the southeast corner, the archers climbed to the arrow tower several meters high to suppress the firepower in the city. At the southwest corner of the city, more than a dozen cloud ladders made by the public transport team leaned against the parapet, and countless soldiers rushed towards the city head.

The defense of Chaoge's guards is full of loopholes, and the people can retreat as soon as they can. From the early morning to the evening, when the South Gate was broken and Zhao Jun ascended the city, it was night, and Chaoge Waiguo fell!

The Zhao army marched in. Seeing the city was broken, and the Zhao army was strong, the people who were beaten to death in the Waiguo garrison were completely desperate. Surrender in pieces.

Under the attack of the rebels and the Zhao army, the Chaoge inner city did not hold for a long time. Zhang Liushuo, seeing that the situation was over, said to his son, "You follow Botu of the Bank of China to break through the encirclement! I am the chief of Chaoge City, and I will stay to defend it. Wang I have a grudge against me, but I persuade the lord to give me the sacrifice of guarding this city, I can't help but trust me!"

So he killed himself in the inner city~lightnovelpub.net~ When Zhao Wuxi entered the inner city, he only had time to see Zhang Liushuo's corpse lying in the hall, his seal of Chaoge City Killer hanging on the beam ...

Zhao Wuxi sighed for Zhang Mengtan's clan uncle, but what was more related was the movement of Zhong Xingyin.

"My lord, there is no Zhong Xingyin in the outer country or in the city!"

"My lord, there is a soldier of more than a thousand soldiers who came out from the north gate when Waiguo fell, and is heading towards Qishui. It should be Zhongxingyin!"

After listening to the report, Zhao Wuqi said: "Zhongxing Yin is the leader of the enemy. He was lucky to escape in the battle between Fan and the Communist Party. This time we must not let him go! The shore of Qishui is Liu Xiazhi's first division. Zhong Xingyin may slam into his net when the crowd is defending. But in order to be safe, in addition to leaving the foot cavalry guarding the city, all the remaining cavalry will be sent out to search for Chaoge in all directions, so be sure to catch Zhong Xingyin! "

Thinking of capturing Zhong Xingyin, he would be able to take the head of Erqing in one pot, Zhao Wuxi's voice had a hint of ruthlessness: "You want to see people when you die, and you want to see corpses when you live!"
