"I can't go on like this, stop!" Niu Jin was in the center of the formation, and when he saw that he could only stop and go twice, he was a little confused, so he hurriedly ordered to stop advancing and maintain the integrity of the formation.

If it continues to be pulled like this, the formation will definitely be chaotic, and if the Han army comes forward to shoot arrows, then he will be defeated.

"Count you as acquaintances!" Seeing that the Wei army stopped and did not dare to move, Zhang Fei waved the command flag and withdrew the cavalry.

"It is said that Zhang Fei is brave and unscrupulous, I can't imagine that this guy is so proficient in the art of war, it's really hateful!" Hu Zhen at the head of the city also understood the situation on the battlefield, and his face was full of chagrin.

At this moment, a soldier ran over and reported to Hu Zhiyu: "Dudu, the Shu army has arrived at the east gate with trebuchets. ”

When Hu Zhen heard this, he immediately ordered: "Quickly let Niu Jin return to the city, and rush from the city to the east gate to intercept it." ”

Hu Zhen understood that if he rushed to the east gate from outside the city, the action would inevitably be chaotic, so Zhang Fei would definitely deal with Niu Jin, and if he was from the city, he would not have to worry that Zhang Fei would threaten the safety of the soldiers and horses outside the city.

"Ding, ding, ding!" A sound of gold sounded.

"Retreat back to the city!" When Niu Jin heard the sound of Mingjin, he ordered the soldiers to retreat, leaving the shieldmen on guard in the rear and the archers retreating first.

"Hurry up to the East Gate!" Seeing that the Wei army was retreating, Zhang Fei did not order a pursuit, but rushed to the east gate with his cavalry.

The cavalry was very fast, but it took a while to reach the east gate, and at this moment Niu Jin had just led his troops into the city. Zhang Fei arrived outside the East Gate and set up a position again a hundred steps away from the East Gate.

Hu Zhen also moved to the east gate, Niu Jin ran to the east gate with his troops out of breath, and at this moment Zhang Fei had already set up a position outside the city, ready to bombard the newly built city wall at the east gate with trebuchets.

Hu Zhen stood at the head of the city and shouted at Niu Jin under the city: "General Niu Jin, quickly lead the army out to intercept it, and don't let the Shu army destroy it." ”

"Brothers, kill me out!" When Niu Jin heard this, he immediately led his troops out of the east gate.

It's just that he led his troops from the south gate to the east gate, and the formation was already chaotic, and at this moment he was running out of the city with his troops, and he couldn't organize the formation in an instant.

It's just that Niu Jin didn't have time to prepare at all, the city wall was hollow, and if the template was damaged by a trebuchet, the city wall of the east gate would not be built.

"Shoot me the arrows!" The Wei army just took a few steps out of the city, and the oncoming was the shooting of the archers of the Han army, and the dense arrows were shot head-on, although the Wei army had shields, but they were swarming out of the city, and the shields had to be used together to have an effect, and a single soldier used a shield, which was a careless disregard.

"Go back!"

"I've been hit by an arrow, help!"

"Go back first, go back first!"

The Wei army was shot by a rain of arrows from the Han cavalry, and retreated to the city.

Hu Zhen at the head of the city shouted loudly: "Quickly organize the formation and go out of the city!" ”

It's just that Zhang Fei outside the city won't give the Wei army time, seeing that the Wei army was forced to retreat to the city, Zhang Fei ordered: "Quickly bombard the city wall with a trebuchet, and then bombard the formwork used to pour concrete!" ”

"No!"

The soldiers had already set up the trebuchet and calculated the distance, and with Zhang Fei's order, a rain of stones fell in the sky, and stones were thrown towards the upper part of the newly built city wall.

Although ordinary trebuchets are not as powerful as return guns, and bombarding the city wall has little effect, it is easy to deal with wooden formwork.

The stones bombarded the formwork, but after a while, the formwork was broken, and a quick formwork fell from the city wall, revealing gaps.

Without formwork, concrete could not be poured in, and the city wall could not be heightened.

"Hey, I still can't prevent it!" Looking at the stones flying in the sky, Hu Zhen couldn't help but sigh and closed his eyes weakly.

The template was destroyed, and if he wanted to repair it, he had to go out of the city, and the Han army would not give him this opportunity.

The height of the new city cannot go up, and when the time comes, Liu Chan will lead the army to kill, and use the return artillery to bombard Wancheng, and the new construction will suddenly be unable to destroy, but at least the height of the old city can be cut to the same height as the new city.

Although there are two city walls, they are too short, if the Han army attacks, the 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city will not be able to resist the attack of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Han army.

"Kill me!"

When the Han army bombarded the template outside the east gate, Niu Jin finally put the soldiers in order, the soldiers held shields, and each other went out of the city in an orderly manner.

"Let's go, send 3,000 soldiers and horses to escort the trebuchet to the south gate!" Zhang Fei saw that the city wall had been destroyed, and he didn't bother to waste his efforts with Niu Jin, so he still repeated the old trick and asked the soldiers to take the stones to the south gate first.

One city wall was destroyed and could not be heightened, but the other three sides could continue to be heightened, Zhang Fei naturally hoped to destroy all the other three city walls, so that it would be easier for Liu Chan to attack Wancheng.

However, Hu Zhen learned to be obedient this time, and saw that Zhang Fei wanted to repeat the old tricks, so he immediately shouted at Niu Jin outside the city: "General Niu, the Shu army wants to repeat the old tricks to destroy the south gate, you come back immediately, and then lead the troops to the south gate to line up." ”

Because it took time for the Han army to escort the trebuchet, after the trebuchet was transported to the south gate, Niu Jin had already led his troops to line up outside the south gate, so that Zhang Fei could not approach the south gate.

Zhang Bao said to Zhang Fei: "Father, now that the Wei army has learned to be obedient, if we attack other gates, the Wei army will definitely return to the city, and then go to the other city gates to fight, and Hu Zhen will definitely prepare a part of the manpower to respond, if you want to destroy the other three gates, it is difficult." ”

Zhang Fei couldn't think of anything to do for a while, nodded and said: "Well, anyway, a city wall has been destroyed, so let's go back and rest for a while, send someone to watch here, if the Wei army sends someone out of the city to repair the template, come and report it immediately." ”

In the days that followed, Zhang Fei also tried many times to destroy the other three city walls, but the effect was not great, and the other three city walls were gradually raised to more than three seven meters high by Hu Qian.

As for Hu Zhen, he also tried his best to repair the eastern city wall many times, but Zhang Fei did not give Hu Zhen this opportunity, and the eastern city wall has not been repaired.

The two sides have been back and forth, and there has been no result of a stalemate for a month.

At this moment, Liu Chan has led his troops north to Wancheng, and after a month's time, the county towns south of Wancheng have been pacified by Liu Chan.

In the Han military camp outside Wancheng.

Zhang Fei said to the generals: "Generals, the general has just received the news that His Majesty sent someone to hurry up the whip, Your Majesty will lead the army to arrive tomorrow afternoon, and early tomorrow morning, you will go out to cut down trees and expand the camp, so that Your Majesty and them can settle down." ”
