Chapter 3: The Storm and the Seventeenth Section, the gates of the city slowly opened. Daiko's heart was beating violently, and the intense feeling of suffocation made him almost breathless.

Entered the city so smoothly? This is an important place for the Northern Army to accumulate grain and grass, and the inventory should be very strict.

Looks like my big black bad luck has come to an end, and I'm going to transit. A large crack was opened in the gate, and then the fire flashed, and a commander of the Northern Army came out with four soldiers carrying torches.

Dahei hurriedly waved his horsewhip behind him. The mute, dressed in armor, hurried up with two or three soldiers.

The dumb man pretended to be the commander of the Northern Army's grain squad, and greeted him with a smile.

"We were delayed on the way, we were late, and we caused trouble for your brothers." The commander looked at them alarmingly, and stopped.

"What about your team rate?" The dumb man was startled, but his face smiled even more happily, and the pace under his feet suddenly accelerated.

"Our team led the adults to accidentally press the wheels of the car, and they were lying on the car......"

"Tell him to come in person, and I'll take him into the city to verify his identity." The tun chief raised his hand and said,

"Stand down."

"My lord, the brothers are too tired after a day of walking, so let's go into the city to rest first." The mute smiled and nodded and said.

"Presumptuous." The chief's face turned cold,

"Get out of here." The dumb man ran faster, and his right hand was on the handle of the knife,

"Adult, villain still has something to say......"

"Stop." One of the soldiers beside the chief suddenly shouted loudly,

"Where are you from, why don't you have a Gyeonggi accent?"

"You don't care where Lao Tzu is from." The dumb man was anxious, and scolded loudly in the dialect of the Zhao Kingdom area of Jizhou,

"Do it, kill them." The two soldiers behind the mute were quick and raised their crossbows to shoot. The commander of the northern army exclaimed in surprise, and flew out upside down.

The dumb man rushed forward in a few steps, and aimed at the mouthy Northern Sergeant is a knife,

"Want to run? Lao Tzu hacked you. The sergeant of the Northern Army, who was standing inside the city gate, was stunned for a moment when he saw the sudden change, and at this moment, the mute man had already chopped off the enemy's head with a knife, and blood spurted.

The sergeant of the Northern Army let out a terrible scream, which shook the four fields,

"Raid...... Enemy...... Close the door, close the door, ......" Da Hei roared angrily, shook off the horsewhip in his hand, pulled out the war knife from under the saddle, and shouted wildly: "Up, up, cut the sling, cut the sling......"

"Dumb, take the gates. Hurry, hurry up ......" The soldiers of the northern frontier who surrounded the moat did not wait for the big black to shout, and had already flown up and rushed to the suspension bridge.

Some picked up their swords and slashed at arm-thick slings, while others ran wildly in the direction of the city gate.

"Ignition of fire, ignition of fire, for reinforcements, for reinforcements......" Da Hei turned around and shouted hoarsely at the soldiers on the baggage cart, and then his body was like a long arrow from the string, and he and a group of soldiers shot quickly towards the city gate.

The soldiers of the Northern Army on the tower of the city were awakened by the terrifying screams that tore through the night. Then the war drums of the alarm sounded rapidly, and countless long arrows poured down into the city, and occasionally there was the roar of a ballista or two, and the piercing roar sounded particularly thrilling in the darkness.

The drawbridge rises slowly. The non-commissioned officers of the northern Xinjiang army were suppressed behind the baggage truck, unable to move, and from time to time the soldiers were hit by arrows, and the miserable cries were terrifying.

The northern sergeants on the drawbridge were already on guard, they all wore tall and thick shields, but they were still shot down.

A few soldiers wielding knives and chopping ropes fell into the moat with arrows, making a loud sound of falling water.

"Cut, ......," the soldiers shouted frantically. If the drawbridge is raised, none of them will survive.

The mute rose into the air, his sword shot like an arrow into the closing gate. A soldier of the Northern Army was immediately pierced by a war knife, and he fell on his back with the war knife stuck in his chest, and the howl of fear and pain made people feel terrified.

The gates are closed. The mute roared in despair and slammed into it with all his strength. The city gate did not move, but the mute was knocked upside down by the force of the shock, and fell to the ground.

Da Hei and a dozen soldiers rushed through the arrow array and slaughtered into the city gate hole. Faced with the tightly closed city gates, they were at a loss and in a hurry.

"Dumb, do you show them a flaw?"

"I opened my mouth, and they could tell something was wrong." The dumb man was furious, and he raised his leg and kicked the corpse of the commander of the Northern Army.

"Die." At this moment,

......There was a loud bang, the drawbridge fell heavily to the ground, and the northern Xinjiang sergeants on the drawbridge were unstable on their footing, shouting and rolling into the moat one by one.

Da Hei looked at the dense rain of arrows shooting down from the city, rushed to the edge of the door in a few steps, and shouted to the soldiers in the distance: "Shoot, shoot me, shoot ......" The soldiers behind the baggage convoy had already lifted the cowhide felt on the baggage cart, revealing brand-new ballistas.

This batch of ordnance sent from Chang'an is a ballista, and everyone is busy loading crossbow arrows at this moment.

Ordinary soldiers were unfamiliar with ballistas, and they had to rely on the guidance of archers to barely operate them. With an order, the ballistas under the city let out a roar, and for a while the arrows rained down, catching the city defenders off guard.

The soldier who fell into the moat took the opportunity to climb to the shore and rushed to the gate to meet the big black. The soldiers who were pressed behind the baggage cart also took the opportunity to set the baggage cart on fire and retreated out of the range of the long arrows.

More than a dozen wagons full of hay burned with the help of the night wind, and the fire immediately lit up and down the castle tower.

Yan Liang led the army to rush to the city. Captain Sun Luan and Sima Yanjie of the other department greeted him. Sun Luan is in his twenties, a burly man nine feet tall.

He is a native of Yuyang, Youzhou, and used to be a fierce general under Zhang Chun, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army. After the Battle of Jicheng, he was captured by the Northern Xinjiang Army and later conscripted into the army.

Yan Jie is about the same age as Sun Luan, and he is also a tall and heroic strong man. He is Yan Liang's younger brother, his parents died when he was young, and he was adopted by Yan Liang's mother.

After Yan Liang took his old mother's wife to Jinyang, he took him with him to fight everywhere.

"My lord, the city gate has not been taken." Sun Luan said shockingly,

"We have to storm it."

"How many defenders are there in the city?" The horsewhip in Yan Liang's hand pointed at the city tower in the distance and asked with a murderous expression.

"An estimated two thousand." Yan Jie replied,

"If you add the defenders stationed at the other three gates, there are at least five thousand people in the city." Yan Liang snorted coldly and looked back at Sima Zhoushan,

"Monson, didn't you say that there were only three thousand people in the city? How do scouts spy on the military? Zhou Shan smiled quietly.

"My lord, it's great that scouts can sneak into the city, what more do you want? The error in the number of troops did not affect our capture of Shaanxi. Lord Xu has made careful arrangements, and the adults are not impatient. Yan Liang squinted at him for a moment and nodded.

Zhou Shan is very young, white-faced, handsome and elegant, with a bit of arrogance and conceit in his demeanor, and a bit of the debauchery of the children of the family.

He was born in a declining family in Wancheng, Nanyang, and is very talented, good at calligraphy, painting, and music. In the past, he studied in Luoyang Hongdumen.

After the dissolution of Hongdu Gate School, he returned to Nanyang to wander among the mountains and rivers with a group of like-minded Confucian scholars, enjoying himself.

Yuan Shu admired his fame, sent people to search, and had the heart to conquer. Zhou Shan resolutely refused to obey and went to Xiangyang. Yuan Shu was furious, if you don't refute it, you just went to vote for Liu Biao.

Yuan Shu captured Zhou Shan back. This matter was known to Zheng Tai, Hua Xin and others who had been staying in Nanyang, and they persuaded Yuan Shu with good words.

Yuan Shu immediately made a favor and recommended him to Zhu Jun. Zhou Shan didn't dare not go, his life was important, but Zhu Jun didn't like the scholars of Hongdumen, and he was uncomfortable no matter how he looked at him, so he recommended him to Yan Liang.

Zhu Jun said to Yan Liang, you are all generals, there should be a long history and Sima to help you deal with daily official business, don't do everything yourself, do everything yourself.

Lord Zhu Jun's kindness and the love of the elders, Yan Liang did not dare to disobey, so he personally went to Luoyang to invite Zhou Shan to Hangu Pass.

Zhou Shan's talent is of course impeccable, but Yan Liang turns a blind eye to his talent, he likes to listen to Zhou Shan play the piano and flute.

Zhou Shan lamented that his luck was not good, so he had to play the piano to the cow and entertain himself.

"My lord, we are seriously underarmed, how can we attack the city?" Sun Luan asked worriedly,

"Lord Gao Shun has not yet arrived, and Lord Wu Xiong has stayed in Michi. Now there are only 3,000 people here, how to attack? ”

"Lord Sun, three thousand people have three thousand people to attack the city." Zhou Shan said with a smile,

"Light more torches, beat more war drums, shoot more long arrows, and make the momentum bigger, so that the northern army thinks that we have tens of thousands of troops, and force them to transfer all the garrison troops in the city here." Sun Luan and Yan Jie were puzzled, and looked at Yan Liang suspiciously.

"This is a feint." Yan Liang said,

"It was Gao Shun who really besieged the city. You do what Master Zhou says, hurry up. The military candidate Zhang Yu was ordered to rush to the north gate of Shaanxi City with a song of men and horses.

It is facing the Yellow River and opposite the Dayang City to the east of the river. After Da Hei withdrew with his men and horses, he followed the army to the embankment of the Yellow River.

The dumb man carried a log and struggled to climb up the river, while scolding indignantly, not letting us fight, but letting us run to the edge of the Yellow River to burn the wood, isn't this a deliberate punishment for us?

It is not our responsibility that the gates cannot be taken. Da Hei has a fire in his belly, and raising his leg is a kick,

"Can't you say less? Where is there a lot of? Zhang Yu happened to come over with a few personal guards.

"Da Hei, today you have made a meritorious contribution to the siege of the city, and the official has been reinstated." Da Hei threw the wood he was holding in his arms to the ground and asked happily, "Do you want me to take people back to attack the city?" ”

"It's not." Zhang Yu pointed to the dark night sky and said,

"You're honestly setting fire to me. It's not your turn to attack the city this time, you should die of this heart. Da Hei's face stiffened with a smile, and he said loudly: "What's the use of setting fires? Can this take the city? ”

"Of course." Zhang Yu said with a smile,

"You burn the fire and you'll know what's going on. When the fire burns big and multiplied, you will have done meritorious service. Da Hei and the soldiers gathered around looked at each other, and then suddenly shouted, and scattered in a hurry, and ran towards the baggage cart under the embankment.

The car was filled with piles of large logs. Flames rose from the embankment. Suddenly, the fire on the other side of the river was blazing, and the Great Sun City was faintly visible in the *night* (**please delete).

On the river, hundreds of warships lined up, riding the wind and waves. The officers and men of the Northern Xinjiang Army on the river embankment suddenly understood that the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army was lying in ambush on the opposite bank.

Cheers rang out into the night. Gao Shun and two thousand northern Xinjiang soldiers stood quietly in the dark, waiting for the moment of siege.

The cheers from the banks of the Yellow River in the distance soared into the sky, and the officers and men of the Northern Xinjiang Army were full of blood and blood.

There was a faint sound of war horses galloping in the city, the panicked shouts of the soldiers, the thunderous war drums becoming more and more chaotic, and fear spread throughout the city along with the cold and bloody night wind.

Military Sima He Kai and Li Zheyi stood behind Gao Shun on the left and right, anxiously waiting for Gao Shun to give the order to attack.

"My lord, it's early in the morning, and it's time to start." He Kai whispered. Gao Shun acted as if he hadn't heard it, his eyes were closed, and his expression was serene.

His tall body remained motionless, like a stone sculpture bathed in *night* (**please delete).

"My lord, Lord Tiger has been attacking in the direction of the south gate for two hours in a row." Li Zhe said softly,

"Reinforcements from the direction of Dayang City have also arrived at the north gate. At this time, the defenders in the city were divided into two gates, north and south, and it was difficult to take care of the end of the end. Now, as long as we launch a sharp attack at the West Gate, Shaanxi City will be able to fall immediately. Gao Shun remained silent.

After a while, there was a sudden sound of messy and hurried footsteps on the castle tower, and occasionally a few low shouts could be heard.

Clearly, Simon's enemies were hurrying in other directions. He Kai and Li Zhe's faces were happy, and the two of them waved at the heralds gathered around them, signaling them to give orders immediately, and all the parts were ready, and the siege was about to begin.

The night wind howled, and the battle flags on the city tower hunted. Gao Shun opened his eyes suddenly, raised his hand and grasped the handle of the knife behind his back,

"Ignition ......" He Kai turned to face the army excitedly, raised his hands high, and shouted wildly: "Light the torch ......"

"Drumming ......"

"Siege ......" The soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army roared in unison, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and in an instant, arrows rained down and roared away.

The forward assault soldiers carried the ladder bridges and ladders, like a frenzied herd of wild cattle, roaring all the way and roaring forward.

Gao Shun drew the knife in his hand, looked back at the sky and roared,

"Kill, kill...... 100 guards are like tigers descending from the mountain, closely following behind Gao Shun, rushing towards the direction of the city tower,

"Kill ......" guards crossed the moat and set up a ladder. Gao Shun raised a shield in his hand, bit a knife in his mouth, and was the first to rush up the ladder.

The captain personally attacked the city, participated in the first siege at the same time with the elite of the guards and the forward assault, and was the first to rush to the ladder, which greatly encouraged and shocked the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang.

The morale of the whole army is like a rainbow, and it is indomitable.

"Kill the city tower...... Gao Shun blocked three stones, several long arrows, and a shield smashed the spear that stabbed at him, and then flew up to the city wall, and slashed down with a knife in the air, cutting down a northern sergeant who rushed up with a shield to the ground.

"Kill, kill, open the ......gate," shouted Dahei and his soldiers, and rushed down the embankment with excitement to meet the approaching ships.

As the warship approached, the shouts of Da Hei and the soldiers became lower and lower, the expressions on their faces became more and more stunned, and the boiling crowd gradually fell silent.

This is also reinforcements? Jump to
