Chapter 176: The Shock of the Veteran

The north gate of Fancheng, the Jingzhou army besieged the camp.

Groups of Jingzhou soldiers, under the scolding of the generals, drove out of the camp one after another and assembled in the direction of the north gate of Fancheng.

A siege battle will begin again.

Huang Zu rode a tall horse and slowly walked out of the camp gate, staring at the direction of Fancheng with a pair of contemptuous and domineering eyes.

The banner of the word "Gan" is still flying under his nose.

Huang Zu's eyes swelled with deep disgust, and he snorted coldly: "Jinfan thief, I let you get away with it yesterday, I see if you can still hold it today, I will take your dog's head today!" ”

As he spoke, Huang Zu raised his horse whip and shouted: "The whole army is speeding up the assembly, and in the afternoon, I will plant my battle flag with yellow characters at the head of Fancheng City." ”

When the order was laid, thousands of soldiers quickened their pace and rushed to the front of the city, and in a short time the army was mostly formed.

The trebuchets and siege engines were also slowly pushed to the front of the battle, and the preparations for the siege were about to be completed.

At this moment, a horse galloped over and screamed: "General, the big thing is not good, General Wen was defeated by the rebels and is being routed here, and the rebels are chasing and killing all the way." ”

Wen Ping's defeat in the army!

A thunderbolt from a sunny day thundered in Huang Zu's ears, shocking his body violently, his face changed suddenly, and his eyes burst out with endless surprise.

"Wen hired an army of 20,000 people, how could he be defeated by the Su thieves?" Huang Zu shouted angrily.

"General Yu, the Su thief used conspiracy to shoot wolf smoke at our army, blinded our army with the sudden reversal of the north wind, and took the opportunity to cut off our army with cavalry, and finally defeated our army."

Wolf smoke?

Reversal of the north wind?

Huang Zu's heart was shocked again and again, and his mind couldn't turn for a while, and he couldn't imagine what kind of incredible picture it was.

"Could it be that boy really has the ability to predict wind and rain? What I heard before is not a rumor? ”

Huang Zu's thoughts were racing, and this amazing thought immediately surged in his mind, and he froze in place for a while.

The news of the defeat of Wenpin's troops spread quickly, and the morale of the Jingzhou soldiers who were waiting to attack the city was suddenly hit, and people were panicked for a while.

It was originally a high morale, but because of this news, it was immediately depressed.

Huang Zu calmed down a little from the shock, and suddenly looked back, only to see that in the direction of the north, the dust and mist were rolling, and there were indeed a large number of soldiers and horses killing.

He knew very well that if Wen Ping was defeated like this, Su Zhe would take advantage of the situation to kill, and he would definitely attack his northern camp with all his might.

And as soon as the northern siege camp is lost, Fancheng's iron bucket array is equivalent to opening a gap, and Gan Ning's army will be connected with Su Zhe's army outside the city, and if he wants to calmly besiege Fancheng, it will be meaningless.

"I patted my chest with the lord and promised that I would capture Fancheng for him as soon as possible, if the Su thief took the north camp, I don't know how long it would take to take Fancheng, wouldn't I have lost my words to the lord, where is the face of my Huang Zu!"

After weighing the pros and cons, Huang Zu's eyes gathered and shouted: "Come on, quickly transfer 5,000 soldiers and horses from the west camp to the north camp, and be sure to guard the north camp for me." ”

Huang Zu set up camps on all sides to besiege Fancheng, and in addition to the main force of 20,000 in the north, the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses were distributed in the other three gates.

His intention was naturally to transfer the troops of Ximen first, hold the north camp, and stop Su Zhe's offensive.

And he will continue to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses from the northern battalion to storm Fancheng.

As long as Fancheng can be conquered, the loss of Wenpin's soldiers and horses is nothing, even if Beiying can't hold it, it doesn't matter, any victory of Su Zhe will become meaningless.

The order was laid, and the messenger immediately rushed to the west gate to transfer troops.

Huang Zu's gaze moved back to the north gate of Fancheng, drew his sword in his hand, and shouted: "The whole army will attack immediately, and if you don't take Fancheng today, you will never withdraw your troops!" ”

Tom tom tom ~ ~

The sound of war drums shook the sky and broke the silence.

The Jingzhou soldiers, whose morale was affected, were inspired by the sound of drums, stabilized their minds, regained their spirits, and began to advance towards the north gate of Fancheng.

The trebuchet fired stone projectiles, one after another, and roared towards the city.

Thousands of crossbowmen fired a volley of arrows, a rain of arrows as dense as flying locusts, and shot overwhelmingly at the head of the city.

The ladder was erected, and thousands of Jingzhou soldiers began to climb the city wall densely like ants again, rushing towards the city.

At the head of the city, Gan Ning had already prepared and led the remnants of his soldiers to put up desperate resistance.

This time, he and his soldiers were no longer the slightest bit tragic, but full of confidence.

Because they knew that their lord was near, and they would never sit idly by and watch Fancheng be destroyed, and they had great hope in their hearts to fight to the death again.

A fierce offensive and defensive battle began.

……

West of Fancheng.

The western encampment of the Jingzhou army was stationed in the place outside the city, and at this moment the camp was empty, leaving only about 1,500 defenders.

However, compared with the Soviet army, which was less than 1,000 people in the city, this 1,500 people already occupied a numerical advantage.

Further west of Xiying is a dense forest.

The Jingzhou soldiers who stayed in the western camp were completely unaware that in that dense forest, countless bloody eyes were staring at them as if they were staring at their prey.

Huangfu Song picked up the branches of the tree and stood there quietly, watching a large number of enemy soldiers come out of the west camp and hurried to the north.

In Huangfu Song's eyes, he couldn't help but have a hint of surprise, and muttered: "Huang Zu really transferred the soldiers and horses of the Xiying camp, and I don't know what means Su Zhe used, he really did it!" ”

At that moment, several horsemen came around from the north and galloped into the woods.

It was a messenger sent by Su Zhe.

As soon as the messenger arrived, he shouted excitedly: "General Huangfu, my lord has already broken the Wenpin Department in the north, and my lord has asked the small branch general, once Huang Zu has transferred the soldiers and horses of the western camp, please take advantage of the situation to launch an attack immediately." ”

Really!

Hearing this news, Huangfu Song looked surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked: "What kind of trick did your lord use to break through 20,000 enemy troops with only 5,000 men and horses?" ”

The messenger then explained how Su Zhe cast wolf smoke on the battlefield, using the reversed north wind to blind the enemy's vision, and then mounted on foot to cooperate with the flanking attack, breaking the enemy's passage.

"Wind reversal?"

Hearing these four words, Huangfu Song's expression swelled with a little shock, as if the legend he had heard for a long time had finally been confirmed.

"Well, this Su Ziming really has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, if he is truly loyal to His Majesty and supports the Han family, it is indeed the blessing of my Han Dynasty......"

After pondering for a long time, Huangfu Song came back to his senses from his emotion, looked up in the direction of the enemy camp, and murderous intent surged in his eyes.

He jumped on his horse, with a big gun in his hand, pointed at the enemy camp, and shouted: "Fight for Your Majesty, fight for the Great Han, follow me to break through the enemy camp, kill—"

"Fight for the Great Han!"

"Kill!"

In the earth-shattering roar, Huangfu Song took the lead and was the first to kill out of the woods.

Immediately afterwards, the five thousand Han soldiers who had been silent for a long time roared like tigers, spilling out of the camp like a tide, and swept away in the direction of the enemy camp.

The surprise soldiers swooped in, and in the blink of an eye, they were outside the enemy camp.

At this time, the more than 1,000 Jingzhou soldiers left in the battalion focused their attention on the direction of Fancheng, and they did not expect that such a strange army would fall from the sky and attack from behind.

For a time, the gong sounded in the camp to warn loudly, and the Jingzhou soldiers gathered in the front camp rushed to the rear camp in a panic, trying to block the advance of the Han army.

When they saw the black pressure like a tide of Han troops, they were all stunned and stunned.

Didn't their lord Huang Zu send an order, saying that the rebels only had 5,000 reinforcements, and they were all in the north direction, why did 5,000 soldiers and horses come here?

Panicked, coupled with the small number of people, they could not stop the onslaught of the Han army at all, and in the blink of an eye, they were breached by the camp wall.

Huangfu Song took the lead in breaking into the enemy camp, and the big guns in his hands shot out in all directions, and the spears passed through, knocking countless Jingzhou soldiers to the ground.

He killed him with great pleasure.

Since he was summoned into the Beijing Division by Dong Zhuo by virtue of the Son of Heaven's destiny, he has lost his usefulness, he is controlled everywhere, and the whole person is in a state of depression.

And today, he finally has the opportunity to vent all the long-accumulated suffocation with killing, so he can't kill without a big fight.

It's a pity that these unlucky Jingzhou soldiers have all become the ghosts of his guns again.

Huangfu Song opened the way in front, and 5,000 Han soldiers poured into the camp like a torrent of breaking the embankment, and slashed mercilessly into those panicked Jingzhou soldiers.

Rivers of blood flowed, ghosts cried wolves, and a massacre began.

The Jingzhou soldiers, who had lost the will to resist, were almost vulnerable, and were killed and wounded in less than half an hour, with only less than 100 surviving soldiers left, and fled towards the north camp in a hurry.

At dusk, Huangfu Song planted his flag in the sky above the camp.

Huangfu Song, who was still unsatisfied, immediately left more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to guard the camp and contact the defenders of Fancheng, and he led 4,000 tigers and wolves to kill the north of Fancheng according to the agreement with Su Zhe in advance.

……

North Gate of Fancheng.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and the blood mist flew sideways, dyeing the sky over the north gate red again.

Nearly 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers, under the encouragement of heavy rewards, went forward to climb the ladder one after another, desperately attacking the city.

The siege has been more than an hour, Huang Zu has pressed all the soldiers and horses, and the pressure on the defenders of Fancheng has also reached an unprecedented place.

Gan Ning and Hu Che'er have tried their best at the moment, but the number of people is too small, and they gradually began to be unable to support it.

The first line of the north gate of Fancheng is already crumbling and is about to be broken.

Huang Zu looked at his soldiers who fought bloodily, looked at the enemy city that was about to fall, and the corners of his mouth finally raised a conceited sneer again.

"It seems that it won't take half an hour for Fancheng to be breached, that damn Jinfan thief, I must capture him alive, hang him in the city tower, and let those restless Hanmen rats see what the fate of following the Su thief to rebel!"

The more Huang Zu thought about it, the happier he became, and his face became more and more hideous.

"Report-" A panicked hoarse cry interrupted Huang Zu's thoughts.

A horse scout galloped over, rolled the saddle and dismounted, and shouted in a trembling voice: "My lord, the big thing is not good, the enemy general Huangfu Song led 5,000 soldiers and horses, and took advantage of the emptiness of my western camp to break through the camp, and now he is leading a large army to kill here." ”

Huang Zu changed color in shock.
