In the city of Ekbatana, the Tang army stood at the head of the city on three sides and confronted the Sabbatarian army. Hao Zhao saw that the rest cavalry was about to rush to the head of the city, and waved the order flag, the crossbow, and the bed crossbow were aimed at the horse road. The rest of the cavalry was still relatively fierce, and despite the high temperature after the fire burned, under the command of the defenders, they launched a charge. Before they could get close to the road, a rain of arrows struck them, and the rest cavalry fell in pieces.

The Sabbatical cavalry was not frightened by the arrows, and the horses leaped over the corpses that had fallen to the ground, and the soldiers raised their shields one by one, and still rushed forward.

Hao Zhao was not in a hurry, and ordered the soldiers to push down the cobblestone, and the huge cobblestone rolled down, with a terrifying sound, and the rest cavalry was immediately driven out of the horse road.

Seeing the cobblestone rolling away, the Rest Guard immediately sent another wave of cavalry to charge. Hao Zhao understood that the rest of the people were going to exhaust the cobblestones on the city. With a sneer in his heart, he ordered loudly: "Fire oil attack, block the horse road." ”

The Tang sergeant quickly threw out the oil bag and threw it under the road, and a rocket flew out, and the fire rose to the sky. Seeing the fire, the Sabbatarian slowly retreated, and the iron arrows of the bed crossbow passed through the fire and pursued the past.

Hao Zhao saw that the rest of the people had withdrawn into the distance, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to line up along the horse road based on the prism, and then slowly rolled the cobblestones and piled them into a stone wall. There are a lot of cobblestones at the head of the city, and there are almost four or five prismatic stones arranged on the horse road, so that the rest of the people are attacking, and they can also delay a lot of time.

………………

When the Prince of Heldun saw that the Tang army was holding the head of the city steadily, he couldn't help but scratch his head, the head of the city was occupied by others, which meant that the most reliable barrier had lost its effect, and there was a large army in the city, so he could not use his strength.

The guard general said worriedly: "Your Royal Highness, are we sacrificing some soldiers and tearing down the stone wall?" ”

"No," said Haledun, "when the fire is extinguished, take the rope and pull down the prism with a hook." ”

The guards will bow to him, or the prince's way is better.

Since the Sabbatarians couldn't come for a while, Hao Zhao divided his men and sprinkled the periphery of the city gate and cave with fire oil, and the Sabbatarians saw that they were going to come over to clean up, and the rockets were fired, and the fire was raging, and the Sabbath soldiers hurriedly retreated.

There was not much combustible thing left on the city, and Hao Zhao had no choice but to order the soldiers to drag up a dozen ladders on the city wall and throw them into the fire. Hao Zhao waved the order flag and sent a message to the outside of the city, and some of the Tang soldiers outside the city came to the city gate through the downed suspension bridge and began to move the stones blocking the city gate hole.

The rest guard saw that the Tang army was on fire in the area of the city gate, and thought that the Tang army's head was rusty, why did he light a fire here for no reason?

But soon he understood, and there was a cacophony of voices in the gates, and the guards hurried to report to Heldun.

Heldun is anxious, if the city gate hole is cleared, the army outside the city can enter the city, and at that time, although a bloody battle cannot be avoided, but the Tang army's weapons are sharp, how much can their 150,000 horses resist?

Thinking of this, Haledun called the captain of the pro-soldier and quietly gave a few orders, and the pro-soldier captain hurried away.

It turned out that Haldun instructed the captain of his own soldiers to lead his own soldiers to guard the west gate, and once the Tang army attacked the city, he would leave a way to retreat.

Before thinking about victory, thinking about defeat first, the Prince of Heldun really has a set of soldiers.

While the garrison was still waiting for the prince to speak, Heldun pondered and said, "Whatever the cost, take the city." In the cave of the city gate, fire oil is thrown through the gap between the stones, I don't believe it, can the Tang army carry stones in the fire? ”

Haledun gave the order, and the Sabbath soldiers began to act desperately. The stones on the road are only the last stone wall that has not been cleared. The Sabbatarians paid a terrible price for this, and the roads were littered with the corpses of the Sabbatarians.

In the direction of the city gate cave, one by one the rest soldiers wore robes soaked in water, wore shields, carried fire oil, burst into flames and smoke, and ran to the city gate cave.

Of course, the fire oil of the rest people and the fire oil of the Tang army are not on the same level.

Although the Anximen did not attack the city in the end, but in the city gate hole, billowing smoke came out from both sides, and the Tang soldiers could not bear the smoke and fire, and withdrew from the city gate hole one after another, and took refuge in the open area.

At the head of the city, Hao Zhao commanded the soldiers to strictly guard the last stone wall, and the rest army under the city wall no longer cared about life and death, and threw arrows at the city head one after another, and the Tang soldiers had already suffered casualties.

………………

As the sun set, the soldiers at the head of the city were already exhausted, and Hao Zhao was also exhausted, so Zhang Xiu led the army to the city to replace Hao Zhao and others.

Zhang Xiu came to the city, and in order to prevent the people from sneaking up or attacking at night, he got a large amount of wood from outside the city and piled it up on the horse road and lit it.

As for the city, a shield has already been erected, and even if the people of Anxi suddenly fire arrows at night, they will not cause losses to the Tang army.

The night passed like this, and at dawn the Sabbatarians ran to the cave in the city gate and lit a fire.

Tang Jun coughed continuously, hurriedly got up, and saw that the soldiers of Anxiation had used iron hooks to pick up the remaining timber under the horse road, spread sand, and some of the soldiers had already run halfway up the road with their shields. Suddenly the arrows and the oil beckoned up.

………………

Li Yi saw that the rest of the people were not afraid of life and death, and frowned: "With such a stalemate, when is it a game?" I ordered the soldiers to pile up sandbags under the wall, pave them into a ramp, and let the men and horses kill me into the city. ”

The emperor has an order, who dares to disobey, 20,000 soldiers came out when he arrived, dug soil and bags, and paved a wide ramp along the city wall for half a day.

Li Yi looked at the sky and said loudly: "Xiahou, Xu Huang, and Zhang Fei listened to the order, and ordered the three of you to lead 10,000 elite horsemen, and after you have eaten enough, you will kill the head of the city." Ordered Zhang Xiu to kill and disperse the soldiers in the city and clear the place for the army. ”

Xiahou, Xu Huang, and Zhang Fei hurriedly went to arrange.

Sima suggested: "The rest of the generals should also be ready to support at any time. ”

Li Yi nodded and said, "Have you arranged the ambush?" ”

Sima Yi replied: "Zhou Tai has already gone to ambush outside the West City Gate. ”

Li Yi said: "After the army is full, it will immediately attack the city. ”

Guo Jia said worriedly: "It's past noon, I'm afraid that I will take the city, it's too late." ”

Li Yi said with a smile: "Our army is familiar with night battles, wouldn't it be more beneficial to our army when it gets dark?" ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "I hope our army will take this city tonight." ”

……………………

After the whole army finished eating, Zhang Xiu took the lead in attacking the city, and the crossbows, bed crossbows, oil and gunpowder were all left behind, and poured into the city. The people of Anxi were taken by surprise by the Tang army, and soon a large area was vacated under the city walls.

Xiahou, Xu Huang, and Zhang Fei saw Zhang Xiu's message, Xiahou took the lead, and 10,000 cavalry rushed to the city and entered the city along the horse road.

The condescending charge, the resting people could not resist it, and they retreated one after another. After Xiahou's 10,000 horses passed, Xu Huang then rushed to the city. In less than an hour, 30,000 cavalry rushed into the city.

When Heldun saw the cavalry of the Tang Army entering the city, he immediately hurried and hurriedly dispatched tens of thousands of cavalry to intercept it.

………………

Zhang Xiu saw the Tang army entering the city, and he was not idle, leading the soldiers at the head of the city to go down the city wall, fetch water, and splashed at the city gate.

The fire oil of the rest people is generally rapeseed oil or something, burning, thick smoke billowing, the Tang army splashed water for a while, and then threw sand, the fire in the city gate cave gradually extinguished, and the temperature of the stone soon dropped.

Zhang Xiu took the lead in moving out a boulder, and the soldiers saw the general doing it, and they also worked hard.

The Tang army outside the city saw the fire in the city gate cave and hurried over. With the exertion of both sides, the stones in the city gate cave were quickly cleared.

At this time, the battle in the city was already in a white-hot state. Seventy or eighty thousand people fought around a place the size of a palm, almost one by one, and all by their own force.

Li Yi, accompanied by Sima Yi, Guo Jia, Zhou Yu, Dian Wei, Li Cunxiao, Gao Chong and others, went to the city, frowned and watched the battle on both sides.

Li Yi can be said to have experienced a hundred battles, looked at it for a moment, and said loudly: "Order Zhang Xiu's men and horses to supply crossbow arrows, get close to the back of our army, and shoot at the enemy." Dian Wei, Li Cunxiao, Gao Chong, the three of you led the army down to the city, killed the enemy troops on both sides, and tried to attack the rear of the enemy army. ”

Dian Wei jumped off the roof, and his own soldiers were about to put on his armor for him, turned over on his war horse, and shouted: "It is important to kill the enemy." ”

After that, he opened the double halberd, and the momentum was like a mad tiger, and he slaughtered into the group of hoplites.

The captain of Heldun's own soldiers personally led his troops to look for Heldun, and when he saw that his hoplites were being pressed and beaten by the Tang cavalry, he roared and rushed over, just in time for Dian Wei.

When the captain of the pro-soldier saw the head hanging from the waist of this ugly man of the Tang Army, he didn't care, and he slashed with his knife. Dian Wei was killing vigorously, raising the iron halberd to block, feeling the heaviness of the other party's big knife, he opened his eyes and said: "Finally, there is someone who has a little ability." ”

The captain of the pro-soldier was casually put in Dian Wei's hand, felt a shock in his arm, looked at Dian Wei carefully, muttered a few words in his mouth, and the big knife slashed at Dian Wei again.

Dian Wei's double halberd crossed and slammed into it, and the human head on his waist twisted with Dian Wei's body, swaying incessantly. Only then did the captain of the personal soldiers catch a glimpse of the man's head, his chest was like a hammer blow, the big knife was withdrawn, and he slashed at Dian Wei desperately.

Dian Wei saw the momentum of the captain of the pro-soldier surge, and shouted: "Grandma, you kid is not simple." ”

While speaking, Dian Wei's left halberd blocked, and the right halberd smashed against the empty door of the captain of the pro-soldiers.

………………

The Tang army controlled most of the city, Zhang Fei and others led troops to strangle the rebels, and Lu Bu led the army to see Dian Wei fighting with a group of well-equipped resting people, and shouted loudly and killed them.

When Dian Wei saw Lu Bu coming, he was afraid that he would take the credit, so the double halberd sped up, and each move became more fierce than the other. The captain of the pro-soldier couldn't resist it, and turned his horse's head and was about to flee.

When Lu Bu saw it, he casually drew a halberd on the ground and picked up a throwing spear and stabbed it at the captain of his own soldiers; At this time, Dian Wei's halberd had also flown out, and the two weapons pierced into the back of the heart of the captain of Heldun's personal army almost at the same time.

Dian Wei shouted: "Lu Fengxian, good means." ”

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Dian Shunzhi, you are not bad. ”
