Chapter 688: Tragic Fighting

"Siege!"

With Liu Chan's order, the attack on Wancheng was finally launched, and the sound of bull horns and war drums resounded outside the east gate of Wancheng.

40,000 soldiers held melee machetes in their right hands and torches in their left hands, and rushed towards Wancheng.

Liu Chan and Zhang Bao's cavalry were in the rear, and Liu Chan said to Zhang Bao: "Zhang Bao, this Wancheng will not be able to take it for a while, you lead the cavalry back to rest first, but remember that people do not take off their armor, horses do not unload their saddles, and they must be ready to obey my dispatch at any time." ”

The cavalry waited here for the afternoon, and because of the heat of the afternoon, the cavalry did not fight, but still consumed a lot of physical strength.

Under the siege of the city, even if Hu Zhen has the determination to fight to the death, but the soldiers do not necessarily have, under the offensive of the Han army, the 30,000 Wei troops in Wancheng will definitely have people who are greedy for life and afraid of death to escape from the north gate.

If one escapes, there will be a second, and a third, so that the Wei army will definitely be in turmoil, and under the domino effect, the Wei army will definitely have a large-scale rout. At that time, these cavalry will need to chase and kill the fleeing Wei army, so they will not be able to rest well.

"You stay to protect Your Majesty, and the others go back to the camp to rest." Zhang Bao nodded when he heard this, left more than 500 cavalry to protect Liu Chan, and then returned to the camp with the rest of the cavalry to rest.

And after the Han army launched the order to attack the city, the Wei army in Wancheng also immediately sounded the horn.

A ladder leans against the city wall, and now the east gate of Wancheng is less than two zhang high, and it can naturally be climbed up with an ordinary ladder.

"Quick, quick, quick!"

Hu Zhen kept urging the soldiers to climb the city wall, and above it, there was a wall pier about 1,000 meters long and about 20 meters wide.

The Wei army needed to defend this pier, and the Han army needed to take it down. Therefore, if the Wei army can climb faster, then it will be able to occupy a little more territory on it, and the number of people who will gain a foothold will be more, and it will be more difficult for the Han army to fight in.

The soldiers of the Wei army were eager for their parents to have two more legs, so they quickly climbed the city wall, and after climbing the city wall, they looked at the opposite side, and saw that the Han army had come up with many people, dense, and terrifying.

Naturally, the Han army went up faster than the Wei army, because in addition to the ladders, the Han army could also ascend from stairs made of sandbags.

Fortunately, there were still Wei troops in the rear who were constantly climbing up, giving them the courage to fight with the Han army, and the Wei soldiers strode towards the Han army on the opposite side.

"Oops!"

A Wei army ran for less than two steps, and suddenly fell to the ground with a bang, his forehead just touched the stone on the ground, although he was not dead, but his head was bleeding, his eyes were full of stars, and he did not recover for a long time.

"Fuck it, Lao Tzu's foot is stuck!"

A Wei soldier here has not yet eased up, and a Wei soldier not far away shouted and scolded again, it turned out that in the process of reunion, his foot was stuck in the crack of the stone.

In the afternoon, Niu Jin gathered some people in the city and filled in the big potholes on the wall pier with sandbags, but the time was short, and the sandbags were too late to prepare, so there would be some negligence, and this was only a big pothole, and the surface was still stone, still uneven.

As soon as the Wei army launched a charge, some soldiers tripped over stones, and their feet were stuck in the cracks of the stones and could not be pulled out.

Although there are not many soldiers of this kind, but on the battlefield, the charge battle is one after another, a soldier stops, it will affect the charge of the soldiers behind, this wall pier is only twenty meters wide, delay for a few seconds, the opposite Han army will be killed.

At this moment, the wall pier was already full of soldiers, and the Han army accounted for about two-thirds of the number, and the Wei army only one-third.

Because there is no way to stand on the wall pier, both sides can only temporarily stop climbing, on the wall pier, two soldiers and horses killed in one place, and in an instant, the sword light and sword shadow, flesh and blood fly.

For the time being, there are no generals in the Han army, and after all, the Wei army has 30,000 people at the moment, and even if the generals are dispatched, they cannot completely occupy the wall pier and enter the city in a short time.

Therefore, it is better to let the soldiers fight first, wear down the vigor of the Wei army, and when the vigor of the Wei army is almost exhausted, send the general out of the horse, so that you can seize the wall pier in one fell swoop and drive the Wei army down completely.

As the battle continued, the advantages of the Han army were also reflected.

First of all, the quality of the soldiers, the soldiers of the Han Army have been trained by Guan Ping and Guan Xing brothers over the years.

Under the training of Guan Ping and Guan Xing brothers, the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the Han soldiers naturally need not be said.

As for the Wei army, the soldiers and horses of Nanyang were first commanded by Sima Yi, and then Hu Zhen, although the two were outstanding people, they also knew the art of war.

But it is obviously impossible to let a sinister and cunning person like Sima Yi and a scholar like Hu Zhen instill in the army a kind of invincible will to fight.

Although the 30,000 Wei army is elite, but in terms of bravery, in terms of fighting will, compared with the Han army, it is even worse, if it is a legion on the plain, this gap can be made up by relying on the command ability of the main general, but in the melee, this gap will be revealed.

The Han army was more numerous, more ferocious, as the battle continued, until dawn, the Wei army was forced to retreat step by step, the twenty-meter-wide wall pier, the Wei army was forced by the Han army to fight within five or six meters close to Wancheng.

If this continues, the Wei army will be killed and retreated from the wall pier by the Han army, and the Han army will completely occupy the wall pier.

"Dudu, the Wei army's offensive is too fierce, and the brothers are about to be unable to hold on."

"We can't climb up, it's too crowded!"

In Wancheng, a large number of soldiers gathered under the city wall, but the city wall was already crowded with soldiers, and these people couldn't climb up at all.

Hu Qian's face sank like water, and he said to Niu Jin on the side: "Niu Jin, you go up quickly!" ”

"No!" Niu Jin gave up his order, picked up a machete, and climbed the city wall along the ladder. When Wei Jun saw Niu Jin coming, he forcibly made way for him.

At this moment, the Han army has not sent a general out of the horse, although Niu Jin's strength is not very high, but in front of this soldier, it is brave and difficult to be, under the leadership of Niu Jin, the Han soldiers were killed and retreated, giving up a three-meter-wide territory.

Seeing that Niu Jin was quite brave, some soldiers from the Han army came down the city wall to inform Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, the Wei army sent Niu Jin up, this person is extremely brave, and we can't resist it." ”

Hearing this, Liu Chan groaned: "Niu Jin went into battle, which means that the Wei army can't hold on, E Huan, Liu Yin, Wang Ping, Guan Xing, it's time for you to go out!" ”
