Chapter 1162: Han Dang's Son

The battle was fierce, and the Wei army gathered on the embankment and launched an attack day and night.

During the day, the crowd is surging, on the embankment between Dongguan and Xiguan, densely packed like locusts and ants, looking from afar, it seems to have become a Taoist embankment.

At night, the embankment is lit up by countless torches and illuminated with bright lights, and despite the fog, you can still see the fire rising to the sky dozens of miles away.

Due to the narrow terrain, although the Wei army had many soldiers and horses, it could not carry out a large-scale attack, so it could only send a small force to attack the two cities of Dongguan and Xiguan. This kind of siege method is obviously unable to shake the defense of Dongxing, the two cities of Dongguan and Xiguan, all built on the steep mountainside, with the mountains and rivers at their backs, and the whole end and Liuluo only need to stick to the side facing the embankment, so they don't have to worry that the Wei army will attack it.

This kind of city defense battle is undoubtedly relatively easy, don't look at the Wei army menacing, but the strength of each attack is very limited, and the city walls of Dongguan and Xiguan are relatively tall and strong, the Wu army waits for work, and only needs to use bows and arrows in the city to block the direction of attack of the Wei army, and they keep shooting the Wei soldiers to prevent the Wei soldiers from approaching the city.

The Wei soldiers used shields to block the arrows of the Wu army, but the embankment that had just rained was very muddy, which made the advance of the Wei army more difficult. When Wu Jun built the embankment, he used the red clay that is more common here, which is relatively cohesive, hard as iron when dry, and mud like glue when wet.

And now it is the rainy season, this layer of soil on the surface of the embankment has been soaked in rainwater, not only wet and slippery, but also very sticky feet, once caught in the mud pit, it is difficult to move an inch, many Wei soldiers do not know the situation, blindly rushed forward, and fell into the mud pit without paying attention, and even the small half of the leg was sunk in, if there was no help from others, there was no way to pull out the feet from the mud pit.

When the Wu army built the embankment, they did not consider the problem of using red clay to block the enemy, they used red clay, more to ensure the solidity of the embankment, but at this moment they received unexpected results, so that Liuliu and Quanduan are overjoyed, it seems that the time and place are on their side, the Wei army wants to break through the two cities of Dongxing, it is more difficult to try than to ascend to the sky.

The muddy roads did make it difficult for the Wei army to move, and it also made the embankment even more crowded, and in order to fill in the road, the Wei army had to spread some hay on the road, so that it could play a role in preventing slips.

But even if they attacked the cities of Dongguan and Xiguan, the tall city walls made the Wei soldiers feel desperate, after all, in such a narrow place, the heavy siege equipment that the Wei army had could not be used at all, and the Wei army could only rely on the most rudimentary ladders to attack the city. But the Wu army defending the city is very strong, they are not only equipped with bows and arrows, but also prepared a large number of rolling wood stones, as long as the Wei army approaches the city, the city is a chaotic arrow, wood and stone, these siege Wei troops are either dead or wounded, they can not gain a foothold under the city at all, let alone attack the city.

There were more and more corpses of the Wei army under the city, and the road was already narrow, and the more corpses there were, the more difficult it was for the Wei army to pass, so Han Zong, who was in charge of commanding the attack on Dongguan, ordered these corpses to be thrown down the embankment in order to provide better road conditions for the teams behind.

Han Zong was originally the son of Han Dang, a general of Eastern Wu, and after Han Dang's death, Han Zong inherited his position as General Zhaowu, commanded his troops, and guarded Wuchang. However, Han Zong was promiscuous, and someone reported him to Sun Quan, although Sun Quan looked at Han Dang's face and did not delve into the matter, but Han Zong was afraid and led his mother, family, and thousands of people to defect to Wei, Wei Yong was a general, and he was named the Marquis of Guangyang.

After surrendering to Wei, Han Zong has been serving as the former governor under Zhuge Dan's account, invaded Eastern Wu several times, and willingly contributed to Wei, which made Sun Quan a great hate.

Other people are just there, Han Zong is the son of Han Dang, and Han Dang and Cheng Pu, who are the old courtiers of Eastern Wu, have been Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan for three generations, conquering the Quartet, repeatedly performing miraculous feats, and being the heroes of the founding of Eastern Wu, and winning Sun Quan's respect.

But Sun Quan didn't expect that such a loyal old minister would give birth to such a rebellion as Han Zong, and soon after Han Dang's death, Han Zong took Han Dang's body and his mother's wife Qu and defected to Wei State, and he didn't know if Han Dang could be blind under Jiuquan.

Han Dang estimated that if he knew, the coffin board might not be able to suppress it, such a rebellious and unfilial person, I am afraid that there is no one in the world.

After Han Zong surrendered to Wei, he was particularly active, attacking Wu several times and killing the people, Sun Quan hated him to the core, and ordered Han Zong to be killed, rewarded with ten thousand gold, and sealed thousands of households, which shows how much Sun Quan cut his teeth for him.

In fact, Han Zong was really helpless, when he was in Soochow, he was the hero Han Dang, as the second generation of officials, Han Zong was naturally arrogant and unscrupulous, so he was impeached by others.

And in the Wei State, although the Wei State will reuse most of the Wu generals who surrendered, Han Zong is helpless here, he can only be a man with his tail between his legs, and in order to please his boss Zhuge Dan, Han Zong did not hesitate to kill the people of Eastern Wu to tie the knot.

Therefore, after Han Zong was appointed as the vanguard of the front this time, he was more active and enthusiastic, and led the army to spare no effort to attack Dongguan.

Liu, who guarded the city in Dongguan, saw Han Zong from a distance, and was also angry, this kind of traitorous and rebellious minister should destroy the nine clans and avenge the death of the Jiangdong soldiers and the people of Jiangdong.

Liuluo deliberately ordered the archers to gather and shoot at Han Zong in unison, hoping to kill him.

However, Han Zong has always been a ghost, and he also knows what he has done, which has already caused public anger in Jiangdong, and the Jiangdong soldiers do not want to kill him and then quickly, so in this case, of course, Han Zong will not risk his life, although he serves as a pioneer officer, he never takes the lead, and often hides behind the Wei army, urging the Wei army to attack. Han Zong's own position is often very safe, although the Wu army in the city can see him, but it is a stone's throw away, even if the Wu army tries his best, it is impossible to shoot him, Han Zong is careful to make the ten thousand years ship, he doesn't want to lose his life in a daze.

When it came to the army commanded by Han Zong, the momentum of the charge was very fierce, they launched a fierce attack on Dongguan, one after another, sacrificing their lives and forgetting death, they could not attack it during the day, and continued to fight at night with lanterns at night, and if they did not take Dongguan, they would not give up!
