Chapter 70: The Last Madness (Part I)

Fan Junzhang's army arrived at the foot of Shenchi City and began to bury pots and cook on the spot.

Fan Junzhang took his own soldiers to observe the defense of Shenchi City. While saying to the generals beside him: "Fortunately, we came in time, there are not many Tang troops crossing from the Yellow River, and there are two thousand people." ”

At this moment, a pro-soldier suddenly said, "Hey, why hasn't Shenchi City collapsed yet?" ”

Fan Junzhang said suspiciously: "How can a good city wall collapse?" ”

The pro-soldier said: "So that the general knows that Xiao Di was originally from Shenchi." In the twelfth year of the great cause, the Shenchi rainstorm, the east of the city wall was soaked by the rain more than 100 steps, the Shenchi County at that time Guo Zhifang was a big corrupt official, he sold all the glutinous rice used to build, according to the have, when the city wall was built, it was to use rattan to program a fence wall, with mud paste, this section of the city wall not to mention with a trebuchet, even if you stomp on it a few times, it is possible to stomp on it! ”

"Oh" Hearing this, Fan Junzhang became interested and asked with great interest: "How do you know that this section of the city wall has not been renovated?" ”

The soldier said: "So that the general knows, if there is no grass on the city wall made of steamed soil, and the entire city wall of Shenchi City has only this long grass, isn't it obvious?" ”

Fan Junzhang took a closer look, and sure enough, this section of the city wall not only grew grass, but also grew quite luxuriantly.

Fan Junzhang unexpectedly learned of this situation and thought secretly in his heart.

Now that the Tang army has a stable foothold, it is not clear about the loopholes of the wall of Shenchi City at all, but when the city wall was repaired, more than one person must have known it. If someone who has also experienced this incident is asked to inform the Tang army generals, the Tang army generals will definitely find a way to make up for this defensive hole.

Fan Junzhang immediately returned to the camp, and at this time the camp had already started eating. Some of the earlier soldiers had already begun to prepare for rest after dinner. However, Fan Junzhang, who was afraid of long nights and dreams, immediately ordered: "Attack the city overnight!" ”

The trebuchet actually uses the principle of leverage, which has no technical content in itself. Fan Junzhang's department did not build too many trebuchets, and it was a coincidence that there were twelve of them.

The soldiers of the Tianxing Army held torches one after another, and thousands of torches were lit like fire dragons, swimming towards Shenchi City with their teeth and claws.

Perhaps, Xu Jingzong deserves to be slapped in the face by Fan Junzhang. Xu Jingzong thought that the Tianxing army was tired from afar, and he would definitely rest all night and start attacking the city early the next morning. So he took a beautiful bath and prepared to rest.

And Zhang Huaiwei also took advantage of the gap in the inspection to pretend to be public and private. Give a bag of jerky to the mother and daughter in the county office. At this time, after Huang Bingwen committed suicide in the original Shenchi County, Huang Bingwen's wife Yan and his children should move out of the county office, but Zhang Huaiwei did not order anyone to drive away Yan's mother and the three people. And Zhang Huaiwei looked at Mrs. Huang's gaze, even a fool could see it.

As a person from the past, how could Yan not see that Zhang Huaiwei was interested in her?

Of course, she also understands that in troubled times, how can there be a way to have both? Of course, this time was not the Ming and Song dynasties, and chastity was regarded as life. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty was a martial noble, a lowly scholar, and the so-called Commander of the Zhichong Mansion was equivalent to a regimental-level officer in later generations. However, in this era, the rank of the commander of the capital was the same as that of the state assassin. It can be that in later generations, cadres at the regimental level will only enjoy the treatment of the department level.

Although Zhang Huaiwei has a bad background, he is now a general of Ningyuan, and he has also been named a Viscount of Pingxiang. Don't dislike her for being a second-married woman, she is already very content. Men chase women in the compartment mountain, women chase men, compartment yarn. came and went, and the two of them actually accomplished good things.

Zhang Huaiwei was about to pick up his gun and mount his horse to show his might, when he suddenly heard a shout outside the door: "General, the enemy is attacking the city overnight!" ”

Zhang Huaiwei was shocked and suddenly vented. Zhang Huaiwei hurriedly got up, put on his armor with the help of the Yan family, and rushed to the city wall.

Fan Junzhang is very cunning, he deliberately attacks the west. In the posture of launching an attack simultaneously in the west, south, and north directions of Shenchi Castle, thousands of soldiers held torches and shouted. Only ignore the east wall of Shenwu City.

Where did Zhang Huaiwei think that Fan Junzhang's main direction of attack was the east city wall. He was actually more worried about the southern wall. When Shenwu City was dredging the moat, the soil dug out of the moat was piled directly on the bank of the moat, and the soil could be used to fill the moat of the southern city effortlessly.

Especially seeing that outside the southern city, the soldiers of the Tianxing Army poured the soil on the bank of the moat into the moat, Zhang Huaiwei hurriedly ordered the bow and arrow shooting to stop the soldiers of the Tianxing Army from filling the moat.

The sight was not good in the night, and the archers shot poorly.

Listening to the sound of plopping in the moat, Zhang Huaiwei was in a hurry. The 5th Regiment was hurriedly transferred to the direction of the South City Gate.

But the soldiers of the Tianxing Army held shields to cover the soldiers who were digging the ground and filling the river. Although the archers of the two regiments fired a salvo, they were still unable to suppress the Tianxing army under the city.

Zhang Huaiwei thought about transferring the Third Regiment, which had never been hostile, to two brigades. Just didn't expect that his order had just been issued, and Xu Jingzong hurriedly ran to the south city gate.

"Captain Zhang, the third regiment in Dongcheng must not be transferred!"

Zhang Huaiwei was surprised: "If you don't transfer the third regiment over, will you let the enemy fill in the moat?" ”

Xu Jingzong said with a solemn expression: "Captain Zhang, it is said that the Tianxing army is coming from the north, and it is more convenient for them to place their main attack direction in the east city and the north city, why should they put the main attack direction in the south city?" ”

Zhang Huaiwei must have a bit of difficulty considering this question: "This ......"

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!" Xu Jingzong said: "This enemy general will definitely not be untargeted. ”

The night is as dark as ink, at a glance, it is full of torches and human heads, there are many Tianxing army soldiers under the city have put the cloud ladder on the surface of the moat, forming a temporary simple wooden bridge, dozens of cloud ladders are spread on the moat, and then the wooden planks are laid on it, and the soldiers of the Tianxing army can't wait to carry the cloud ladder to the root of the city wall.

People kept falling, people who were still alive or climbing the ladder began to attack, and dense human arrows grew on the city wall like weeds, but the soldiers of the Tianxing Army still attacked again and again without fear.

In troubled times, human life is actually the cheapest thing, or compared to ants, or compared to grass mustard.

There are more and more soldiers of the Tianxing Army who are lying in a pool of blood. Gradually, on the ground of the southern castle of the sacred pond, it gradually converged into a small stream and flowed into the moat.

The moat, which was originally turbid, has now become a river of blood.

At this moment, the city wall shook slightly, and a dull banging sound was heard in the night sky.

Zhang Huaiwei said: "It's not good, this is a trebuchet!" ”

"Quick, go to Dongcheng!" Xu Jingzong couldn't care about it, and hurriedly rushed towards the east city gate.

Forty or fifty pounds of stone bullets, with a hurried sound, smashed heavily on the walls of the eastern city. Each stone projectile smashed the walls that had not been tamped into the walls.

"Boom-" There was a muffled sound, and a loud noise was heard in the direction of the entire eastern city wall. Xu Jingzong looked stunned, and sighed slowly, I hope God bless the Tang Dynasty.

The eastern city wall was finally torn apart under the trebuchet bombardment of the Tianxing army. Buried in the rubble were more than two hundred soldiers of the Third Regiment. Fan Junzhang raised his war horse and roared: "Kill the enemy to serve the country, kill the enemy to report the group!" ”

More than 2,000 soldiers of the Tianxing Army followed Fan Junzhang and rushed to Shenchi County.

PS: In the end I overestimated myself too much and barely made good on my promises.
