Zhang Fei threw off his arms and beat the war drums loudly, and the morale of the Han army was suddenly greatly boosted, and they rushed to the city of Lujiang like a tide, braving arrows like rain, and rushed to the city in waves after waves, and Lujiang City was already crumbling.

However, the Yuan army defending the city did not give up, and still defended it by risk, causing heavy casualties to the Han army, and young soldiers kept falling under the city wall and never being able to get up again.

Zhang Fei had already said in front of Zhang He that he must take Lujiang City tonight, seeing this situation, he couldn't help but be furious, threw away the drumstick in his hand suddenly, picked up the Zhangba snake spear, jumped on the war horse, roared angrily, and galloped towards Lujiang City. Zhang He wanted to stop him, but it was too late, so he could only watch him rush across the moat and climb the long ladder on the city wall.

Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers. Although Zhang He and Zhang Fei are only sworn brothers, under the inspiration of Liu Xin, the eldest brother, over the years, their feelings for each other are definitely better than that of their own brothers. Seeing that Zhang Fei was risking the arrows and stones, and the danger was full of dangers, Zhang He couldn't hold it back, and shouted: "Zhang He's here? ”

Zhang Ren immediately arched his hand and said, "The end will be!" ”

Zhang He waved his hand and said, "You immediately lead the people of the headquarters to help!" ”

Although Zhang Fei said that he would not let Zhang He interfere, he would rely on the strength of the Second Army to take this Lujiang City alone. Of course, if it takes a few more days to attack slowly, with the combat strength of the Second Legion, this Lujiang City will definitely be defeated. However, Zhang Fei came over Dabie Mountain, only brought 40,000 horses, and left some of them to garrison Yanlou County, and only 30,000 people were left to besiege Lujiang City, plus Zhang Fei's blind onslaught regardless of casualties, the strength was a little nervous, and if the Third Army did not attack, their casualties would be greater.

It's not that Zhang He doesn't want to rush forward in person, but Zhang Fei has already rushed to the front, and there is also a general in the rear who needs to be in command. As for whether Zhang Fei would misunderstand that he was grabbing credit from him, Zhang He didn't care about it now, and quickly picked up the drumstick that Zhang Fei threw on the ground and beat the war drum vigorously.

Standing on the long ladder beside the city wall, Zhang Fei quickly climbed up, and the Han soldier in front of him saw that the battlements were already enough with one hand, and seven or eight spears stabbed at the same time, and the soldier screamed and fell down the city.

Zhang Fei was furious, the snake spear swung sharply, swung the spear, swept away the arrow, and climbed two steps upward. Suddenly, a bowl of thick rolling log smashed over the head. Zhang Fei roared, and the snake spear stood up, and it was picking on the rolling log. The rolling log flipped in the air and landed in the moat with a "boom", making a big splash.

The defenders at the head of the city were shocked by Zhang Fei's bravery, and they actually forgot their movements for a while, and they were all stunned. Taking advantage of this moment, Zhang Fei jumped up from the long ladder and landed on the top of the city, the snake spear flew up and down, and in the blink of an eye, the defending soldiers who still had not recovered were stabbed to the ground.

Zhang Fei held a snake spear in his hand, stood at the head of the city, his beard was full of hair, and he shouted, like a god descending. This shout was even more thunderous, and some timid defenders actually collapsed to the ground on the spot.

Seeing that Zhang Fei had already killed a vacant land at the head of the city, the soldiers of the Han army were even more courageous, their morale was like a rainbow, and their shouts were higher than the other, and they swarmed up to the top of the city. Relying on the "bridgehead" laid by Zhang Fei, the Han soldiers quickly killed both sides, and the defenders who had held on for most of the day collapsed instantly, and Lujiang City was finally broken.

Although the city was broken, Zhang Fei and others were not idle, and the Lujiang City was still brightly lit after nightfall, and the soldiers of the Han army guarded the streets and alleys everywhere, carrying out carpet searches from house to house. All this is because Yuan Shu has not been caught yet, and Zhang Fei has already ordered to dig three feet into the ground to catch Yuan Shu. In addition to Yuan Shu, Liu Bang must also be found as soon as possible, even if he has died in the chaos, his body must be found, otherwise there is no way to explain to Liu Xin.

In Zhang Fei's eyes, the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes is nothing at all, and Yuan Shu himself is just a clown, what they care about is the jade seal that has been lost for a long time. Now, the entire Lujiang City has long been surrounded by Zhang Fei and Zhang He's two armies, and there is no need to worry that Yuan Shu will escape from the city.

However, there are still tens of thousands of people in Lujiang City, and if the city is besieged for a long time, the lives of the people will not only be affected, but even unsustainable. Zhang Fei and Zhang He both knew that Liu Xin had always attached importance to the people's hearts, and would never disturb the people in order to search for a few fugitives, and as the commanders of the three armed forces, they had to carry out a search and arrest overnight, just to minimize the impact on the people.

The news of the capture of Lujiang was reported to Liu Xin that night, and he asked nervously, "How is Liu Bang's son?" Have you ever been rescued? ”

When he said this, his voice was obviously a little trembling, Liu Xin frowned, he didn't understand what he was doing so nervously, could he really treat Liu Bang as his own son, so he would be so nervous?

The person who came arched his hand and said: "At that time, it was dark, the situation on the city was unknown, and the whereabouts of Liu Banggongzi were lost in the chaos, and the two generals were searching everywhere in the city. ”

Frustrated and muttered: "Lord Qiyu, Lujiang Xinke, Yuan Shu has been operating there for many years, and he should appease the people. The subordinates asked the lord to go north overnight, as long as the lord came in person, the people's hearts would naturally be settled. ”

Liu Xin always felt that there was something in his words, and it would definitely not be as simple as appeasing people's hearts, but Lujiang was Yuan Shu's lair, and after laying down Lujiang, his strategy in this area would come to an end, and he could rest assured that he would go to the Western Regions. Liu Xin immediately agreed to Fu Zhu's suggestion and immediately ordered to set off for Lujiang.

When the sky was bright, Liu Xin and his entourage finally came to the outside of Lujiang City. On the head of the city, the black banner of "Han" is fluttering in the wind, hundreds of soldiers at the gate of the city are lined up on both sides, and the guard is tight, and the whole Lujiang City is still only allowed to enter but not to leave. Of course, at this time, ordinary people will not have anything to do to enter this Lujiang City.

When Liu Xin and the others were still halfway there, they encountered several scout patrol sentinels, so Zhang Fei, Zhang He and others had already gotten the news.

Zhang Fei and Zhang He were waiting at the gate of the city, and when they saw Liu Xin, they saluted together: "Big brother, I didn't expect you to come so quickly!" ”

Liu Xin waved his hand at them and said, "If such a big thing happens, how can the elder brother not come over in person?" ”

Zhang Fei and Zhang He glanced at each other, and didn't quite understand what Liu Xin meant when he said this, so they had to let Liu Xin into the city.

Walking on the street of Lujiang City, I saw that the doors of every house were closed, and there were Han soldiers guarding the streets with guns, and teams of soldiers could be seen hurriedly walking by on the street at any time, but there was not a single figure of the people, Liu Xin couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice: "What? Yuan Shu hasn't been caught yet? ”

Zhang Fei grinned and said with a smile: "Big brother, don't worry, Yuan Shu changed his clothes and hid in the firewood room of a common people's house, thinking that he was seamless, but he was unexpectedly reported by the people and arrested in the middle of the night. ”

Liu Xin was surprised: "Oh, the people in this Lujiang City are quite familiar with current affairs. ”

Zhang He said with a smile: "Big brother doesn't know, let's let people shout in the streets and alleys overnight, as long as Yuan Shu can't be caught for a day, all the people in the city are not allowed to go out." Even if people have money in their families, how much food can they have? If you don't go out, eating will be a problem, who will help Yuan Shu hide. ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said: "It's not easy for the common people, it's very inappropriate to do this, just this once, not an example." Also, since Yuan Shu has been caught, why is he still so heavily guarded? ”

Zhang Fei snorted: "Big brother, my eldest nephew hasn't been found yet." ”

"Big nephew?" Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said, "You mean Liu Bang." Now that Yuan Shu has been caught, let the brothers remove all the sentry posts, and they can't affect the lives of tens of thousands of people in this city because Liu Bang is alone. ”

Because this siege battle was launched by Zhang Feili, he didn't dare to guarantee whether Liu Bang would die in the chaos of the army. When he was fighting, he only knew how to blindly rush forward to kill, and now that the battle was over, Zhang Fei began to worry. However, seeing that Liu Xin didn't seem to be very concerned about Liu Bang's whereabouts, Zhang Fei also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "And the heirloom jade seal has not been found, Yuan Shu is very arrogant, threatening that we will never want to find the heirloom jade seal in our lives, so ......"

Liu Xin's face sank and said, "Is the jade seal important or the people's lives important?" Anyway, it's not a day or two since the jade seal of the country is lost, it's better to find it, and forget if you can't find it. The order was issued, except for the four gates, the rest of the sentry posts were removed, and only more soldiers were arranged to patrol the city. In addition, people were allowed to come and go freely, and shops were open as usual. In addition to strengthening the inventory at the city gate, it is not allowed to deliberately make things difficult. ”

Frustrated and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but finally held back. He still doesn't know what Liu Xin thinks, and some things are really hard to say to Liu Xinming. However, he has the Phantom Spy in his hands, and these soldiers can't find the results of the search, maybe they can use the Phantom Spy to have unexpected gains. In short, Liu Bang's existence is a hidden danger, no matter what, he must be found out, he must see people in life, and corpses in death, this is what he is thinking at the moment.

Yuan Shu was brought into the hall, and he was brought in with General Yang, who had advised him many times, and among the generals who stayed in Lujiang and several generals, except for Le, he was killed by Tai Shici with an arrow, and Zhang Xun and Chen Ji had also died in the chaos.

Yesterday morning, Yuan Shu and General Yang fled from the city in embarrassment and hid in the mansion. Although he was called the emperor, he did not build the palace, not because he knew that he was sympathetic to the suffering of the people and could not bear to build a large number of buildings, but because Lujiang City was too small to be suitable as a capital city at all, so he still lived in the original Taishou Mansion. And now he has been brought here again, but instead of being a prisoner.
