Duan Zhengzhong is the leader of a chaotic gang in Zhao County, and he was also a captain of the government army, he is burly and hideous, making a fifty-pound mace, and his martial arts are very strong.

He led a thousand troops to take refuge with Zhang Jincheng a few months ago, and was named General Huben by Zhang Jincheng, commanding 5,000 soldiers.

In this attack on Wucheng County, Duan Zhengzhong led 5,000 soldiers to attack the western section of Nancheng, and when he found that the end was not strictly guarded, he personally led more than 100 soldiers to attack the city.

In a moment, more than a dozen thieves appeared at the westernmost head of the city under the leadership of Duan Zhengzhong, the leader Duan Zhengzhong was extremely fierce, and he hit the heads of the two soldiers to pieces with a stick.

The soldiers next to him were all prisoners of war who had just joined the Sui army, they knew Duan Zhengzhong, and they were frightened by his hideous face and ruthless methods, so they threw down their spears and fled, and there was a gap in the city.

Duan Zhengzhong seized the opportunity of a short moment, jumped onto the city, he held a shield in his left hand, swung his sword with his right hand and slashed, in an instant, three more Sui soldiers were hacked to death, the Sui military captain who commanded this section saw that the situation was not good, and he was anxious to report to Wei Chi Gong, and he led more than 100 soldiers to kill.

When Duan Zhengzhong saw the Sui soldiers rushing up, he roared and jumped off the battlements to fight with the Sui army.

At this time, more than a dozen thief soldiers rushed to the city from this gap, these thief soldiers were all wearing chain mail, tall and powerful, fierce appearance, and extremely strong combat effectiveness, and the city wall was suddenly in chaos.

It was also a coincidence that Zhang Xuan happened to lead a hundred of his men from Xicheng, and he suddenly heard screams and exclamations in front of him, and some Sui soldiers shouted: "The thieves have boarded the city." ”

Zhang Xuan rode on his horse and looked ahead, in the night, he saw the thief army surging like an ant colony in the westernmost city, hundreds of Sui soldiers were killed and scattered in all directions, only a few dozen Sui soldiers were fighting with each other, he was suddenly shocked and angry, and shouted: "Kill me with me!" ”

He urged his horse, waved his halberd, and led more than 100 Sui troops to rush up. At this time, the thief army had already landed nearly 200 people from the westernmost gap, and a large number of thieves were constantly entering the city from here.

But the thieves also made a mistake, they did not immediately go to support the other battlements after they arrived in the city. Instead, focus on destroying trebuchets.

A dozen trebuchets were deployed here, and the thieves had enough of the pain of being hit by boulders during the attack, so they climbed to the top of the city and threw themselves at the dozen trebuchets, slashing with knives and stoning them. Pushing hard, in a moment, ten trebuchets fell in succession, straight down the city, and the thieves and soldiers cheered.

Of course, destroying the trebuchet is very beneficial to the subsequent attack, and there is nothing wrong with the thief soldier's approach, but everything has a priority, and at this critical moment, destroying the trebuchet is tantamount to sacrificing the basics.

At this time, Zhang Xuan led a hundred soldiers to kill. They slashed and shot arrows, taking more than 200 thieves by surprise.

Zhang Xuan's halberd waved, like a flash of lightning, and instantly pierced the chests of the three thief soldiers, and the thief general Duan Zhengzhong saw that Zhang Xuan was powerful, he shouted, and pounced on Zhang Xuan from the side battlements, and the mace in his hand stirred up a gust of wind and smashed towards the top of Zhang Xuan's head.

But Zhang Xuan sneered and swung the Ziyang Twin Halberd to hit him head-on. 'When! With a loud bang, the mace was shaken out, Duan Zhengzhong's arms were torn, and he screamed. turned around to escape, but was stabbed by Jang Hyun in the back, and the tip of the halberd pierced through the back shoulder, penetrated through the shoulder socket, and pierced his body.

Duan Zhengzhong hissed, and his huge body was lifted high. Zhang Xuan shook his halberd, "Get back for me!" ”

Duan Zhengzhong was thrown out of the city, with a long scream, 'Boom! He fell into the moat, and three stakes pierced his body, nailing him alive in the moat.

The death of the leader of the thief army made the morale of the Sui army high, and they fought bravely to kill the enemy, killing the thief soldiers one after another, and the Sui army quickly blocked the path of the thief army's expansion on both sides, blocking them in the corner west of the city.

At this time, Wei Chigong, who got the news, led 500 soldiers to kill the past, and the Sui army killed more than 300 thieves who had reached the top of the city with heavy casualties, and the remaining soldiers fled to the city one after another.......

The siege battle has been going on for more than two hours, Wucheng is still standing majestically, under the fierce counterattack of the Sui army, the fighting spirit of the thief army gradually began to disintegrate, and the morale is gradually declining.

At this time, it was already dusk, but the siege battle was still going on, Zhang Jincheng stood on a dirt slope, expressionless looking at the fierce siege of the army two miles away, no one knew what he was thinking? No one dared to come forward and persuade him.

At this time, the general Wei Yong ran quickly to the mound and bowed down to report: "King, it's getting late, can you fight again tomorrow?" ”

Zhang Jincheng glanced at him, did not answer his request, and asked left and right: "Has the first soldier who climbed the city to be found?" ”

His subordinates hurriedly said: "King Qiqi, the first person to climb the city was General Duan, but he has been killed, and the second person to climb the city has also been brought. ”

"Bring him up!"

In a moment, a team member was brought up by Zhang Jincheng's personal guards, and he hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "See the king!" ”

"What's your name, battalion?"

"Returning to the king, the humble position is the seventh battalion, and his name is Wang Zhi!"

Zhang Jincheng nodded, and instructed left and right: "Reward him with 1,000 taels of gold!" ”

Everyone was taken aback, and the team named Wang Zhi was even more excited, kowtowing and crying: "Thank you for the king's reward!" ”

Yes, someone took a thousand taels of gold and handed it to Wang Zhi, Zhang Jin said that he ordered someone to take him down, and he immediately ordered to the left and right: "Inform the whole army, the seventh battalion is the first to climb the city, and he has received a reward of 1,000 taels, from now on, the first person to climb the city will have a reward of 3,000 taels, and the first person to kill the city will have a bounty of 10,000 taels." ”

The guards rushed to the battlefield, and Zhang Jin said coldly to the general Wei Yong: "There is no day and night to attack the city, when to capture Wucheng, when the war is over!" ”

"Obey the order!" Wei Yong was so helpless that he had to bow and hurry away.

Zhang Jincheng immediately ordered again: "The Third Army is also engaged in the siege!" ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The drums in the camp of the thief army were loud, and 10,000 people of the Third Army were also engaged in the siege battle, so far, except for the 20,000 elites of the Impermanent Army directly under Zhang Jin, the remaining more than 30,000 troops have been thrown into the siege battle.

At the same time, the news that Zhao Zhi had received a bounty of one thousand taels also spread throughout the army, and the morale of the thief army gradually rose again, desperately attacking the city, and the heavy reward of three thousand taels of gold encouraged everyone to make a fortune**.

The war became more and more brutal, and all the Sui soldiers were thrown into battle, including the main general Zhang Xuan, who also led more than 500 people to fight fiercely with the thief army in the western section of the southern city.

The trebuchet's long pole was thrown, and boulders soared into the air, whistling across the night sky and smashing into the dense crowd

Arrows rained down, the city and the city were intertwined, rolling logs and stones fell like hailstones, siege ladders were overturned, countless soldiers screamed and fell into the dry moat, and the corpses in the moat covered with sharp piles were piled up, and the blood flowed like a river.

Everywhere there was blood and screams resounded across the battlefield, it was a meat grinder-like war, with heavy casualties on both sides, but the war continued to fight fiercely, and more and more soldiers were dying

The day gradually dawned, the bell of the retreat of the thief army finally rang, and finally thousands of thieves were left to retreat in a hurry, this siege battle that lasted for a day and a night finally ended in the crushing defeat of the thief army, and the city resounded with the cheers of victory in the great battle.

In this battle, the thieves suffered extremely heavy losses, killing more than 20,000 people, and the Sui army also paid 2,000 dead and wounded, the city was stained red with blood, and the city was full of endless corpses, and the city was also full of damaged weapons by the Sui soldiers who were killed.

Every soldier was so tired that he lay down in blood and fell into a deep sleep.

Jang Hyun was covered in blood, and the flesh and blood of the enemy soldiers were still stuck to his back and legs, so he didn't have the heart to clean up, and endured exhaustion to inspect the condition of the soldiers in the city.

At this time, he saw Luo Shixin, and saw him sitting on a pile of spears, bare on his left shoulder and arm, and a soldier was medicating him.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xuan walked forward quickly and asked.

Luo Shixin pursed his lips, "Bad luck, I was hit by two arrows." ”

The soldier who gave him medicine said in a low voice: "The general is already very lucky, if this arrow deviates a little bit, it will hurt the muscles and veins." ”

"Speaking of which, God still favors me, oops! Stinky boy, lighten up! ”

Seeing that Luo Shi's confidence had improved again, Zhang Xuan patted him on the shoulder and walked to the other side, where dozens of trebuchets were placed, and the fortifiers were busy repairing the damaged trebuchets.

At this time, the soldiers ran towards the road to the city, only to see Fang Xuanling walking up to the city with dozens of leading soldiers carrying burdens, and the soldiers immediately surrounded him. (To be continued.) )
