Chapter 689 was killed by mistake

"No!" The generals had already been unable to bear it, and after listening to Liu Chan's order, they immediately raised a short knife and killed the city.

Liu Chan also only sent E Huan and Guan Ping generals over, as for Deng Ai and Guan Ping, they are already the main generals of the first army, they can be called handsome, and they can't easily go into battle to kill the enemy, while Lin Yuan and Huang Xu are guarding the west and south gates respectively, not here.

Deng Ai, Guan Ping, and Lin Yuan Although they can't go into battle, they have Ehuan and Guan Xing, but they are enough, and Niu Jin is not an opponent at all.

The four generals rushed to the head of the city, but the city wall was thousands of kilometers long, and Niu Jin had to find out in which direction it was.

Guan Xing went to the top of the city and looked forward, a tall Wei general with a machete killed his own soldiers and retreated, isn't that person Niu Jin?

Guan Xing was excited, took three steps and made two steps, and rushed straight to Niu Jin.

Niu Jin was kicking a Han soldier to the ground, and was about to swing a knife to slash, only to hear a clanging sound, I don't know when, under Niu Jin's machete, there was another machete, Niu Jin's blow was naturally blocked by this extra machete.

"Guan Xing?"

Niu Jin, as a general of Nanyang, naturally recognized Guan Xing, the second-in-command in the Jingzhou army. Seeing that it was Guan Xing, a trace of fear flashed on Niu Jin's face.

Guan Xing didn't say any more nonsense, shook Niu Jin's machete away with his backhand, and then slashed at Niu Jin with another knife.

Niu Jin hurriedly raised his knife to resist, and in a hurry, he was shocked by Guan Xing and took a few steps back.

This wall pier is already narrow, crowded and crowded, Niu Jin retreated, and hit the soldier behind him, everyone in the soldier's hand has a weapon, this collision is not tight, but coincidentally happened to hit the knife in the hand of a soldier, and was stabbed by the machete.

"You ......" Niu Jin only felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and when he looked down, he saw that there was a bloody knife tip in his abdomen.

"I ......" The Wei soldier who happened to stab Niu Jin gave the machete in his hand with an innocent face, and stood in place not knowing what to do.

"Haha, God won't help you!" Seeing that Niu Jin was actually killed by his own people, Guan Xing laughed, made up for Niu Jin on the ground, and rushed towards the Wei army.

The Han army went into battle, and the situation was quickly reversed, showing a one-sided situation.

By noon, the Wei army finally could not support it, and was defeated and retreated by the Han army, and the defeated Wei army did not even have time to climb down the ladder, and many people were forced to jump off the city wall.

"Get down, get me the ladders out, the archers ready!"

I thought that I would lose, but I didn't expect to lose so quickly, Hu Zhen had to order the soldiers to retreat, and then remove the ladder, many Wei soldiers were still on the city wall, the ladder was withdrawn and could come down, they were either killed in battle, or they could only jump down, in this situation, the Han army did not accept surrender at all.

"Shoot me!"

The wall pier has been completely occupied by the Han army, and at this moment many Han troops are showing their heads on it, Hu Zhen saw the opportunity, so he ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows.

"Hurry back!" Seeing this, Guan Xing hurriedly retreated with his soldiers, but the city wall was two feet high, and he could only shoot at the people on the side of the wall when he shot from the bottom to the top, and if he took a few steps back, the bow and arrow could not be shot.

Guan Xing is also proficient in the art of war, and when he saw that the Wei army below had withdrawn the ladder and used bows and arrows to resist the enemy and prevent him from going down, he said after a deep sigh: "Go and transfer the shield and bow and arrow!" ”

After a short time, the Han soldiers rushed over with a large number of bows and arrows and shields.

Guan Xing asked the shield bearer to hold the shield to protect the archers and shoot at the Wei army under the city.

He also ordered: "The Wei army has withdrawn the ladder, let's move the ladder over and use the ladder to go down, and now the arrows are flying back and forth, which is too dangerous." You can throw down the sandbag and rush down to fight the Wei army at that time! ”

Sandbags were everywhere on the wall, and after listening to Guan Xing's words, the soldiers of the Han army went to pick up sandbags one by one, and then let the strong men throw them down behind the shield soldiers.

Hu Zhen hid in the rear to supervise the battle, and when he saw that the Han army began to throw sandbags down, his face changed, and he said: "You can't let them throw sandbags under the city wall, pick them up quickly!" ”

"Brothers, rush!"

There are Wei soldiers shooting arrows in the city, and the Wei soldiers can only hold their shields to pick up sandbags, but it is difficult to shoot the enemy on the city wall from below, but it is very easy to shoot the enemy below the city from above, although the Wei army has many shields, but the sandbags are not light, and when picking up sandbags, the body will be more or less exposed.

Although the Wei army successfully picked it up, there were also Wei soldiers who were shot by arrows while picking up sandbags and died under the city. In short, the Han army dropped sandbags much faster than the Wei army picked them up.

By noon, the sandbags under Wancheng had been piled up more than a zhang high, and even if the Han army jumped at this height, they would not be injured. However, in order to make it easier to get out of the city, Guan Xing still asked the soldiers to continue throwing sandbags and make a sloping staircase, so that the soldiers could rush down directly.

The sandbags under the city were littered with the corpses of Wei soldiers who had been killed by arrows from the Han army when they went to carry sandbags.

A general said to Hu Zhen: "General, the sandbags are already so high, the soldiers can't move at all and don't dare to move them, the Shu army is about to come in, let's withdraw!" ”

Hu Zhen said in a deep voice: "Retreat? Where to remove? ”

The general said without thinking: "Retreat from the North Gate, the North Gate is not surrounded, let's go to Xuchang and Luoyang, do we have to give the lives of the soldiers here?" ”

Hu Zhen waved his hand and said: "The art of war is cloudy, the siege division must be que, and the Shu army is missing one of the three, the purpose is obvious, that is, to deliberately let us retreat from the north gate, and we don't want to start a street battle with us in the city." If we retreat, we will be ambushed and fall into Liu Chan's arms. ”

The general sighed and said: "If you don't retreat now, when the Shu army rushes in, our army is invincible, and the soldiers will definitely flee.

If we retreat now, we will all be together, and even if we encounter an ambush, we will still have one. Earlier, I saw a group of soldiers heading north, and I guess some of them have already begun to flee. ”

The role of the besieging division is reflected at this moment, this is actually a psychological tactic, if the city is besieged to death, the soldiers have no way to retreat, and they can only unite and fight. But if there is a lack of one, the soldiers will not fight to the death if they feel that there is a way to live, and some cowardly people will flee without even waiting for orders, so that the morale will be broken.

Listening to the general's words, Hu Zhen also made a difficulty, the Han army will soon be killed in the city, the Han army is surrounded by three missing one, the army's heart has been shaken, if you continue to hold Wancheng, and the Han army to start a street battle, I am afraid that it will not last long. On the contrary, now retreat, the soldiers and horses are together, and there is still a same, and they can be commanded in a unified manner.

So should we hold on or retreat now?
