(The third watch, asking for red tickets)

Sent by Zhou Bin, Gao Hu and Zhou Ta, who led their troops to attack the east gate of Fancheng to kill the retreating defenders, were respectively the battalion generals and sentinel generals of the Chaishan Brigade of the Tang Fuguan Division of the Second Town Division of Chongcheng in Huaidong, and they were also the first military attachés to sneak into Chaishan with Zhou Bin and form the Chaishan Brigade.

Zhou Ta first went to the city gate to deal with the defenders, and Gao Hu then led 600 men and horses to arrive.

In a hurry, the generals were not able to wear all the armor, picked up swords and shields, Mo knives, bows and crossbows, and ran to the east gate of Fancheng across their horses, regardless of the rain of arrows at the head of the city, rushed to the city gate cave before dismounting, from the inside of the city gate, with a big shield to cover the arrows and stones from the head of the city, and stormed the city road......

Since the Hulun Mountains have been down, there has been almost a year of truce, which makes the body of the Yanhu old soldier flow with the blood of aggressiveness and murder, and he is also good at adapting.

When attacking the east gate, the defenders are more in the military camp in the city, and the military attache catches up with the rotation rest at dusk into the brothel village is preparing to have fun, the number of defenders who are still guarding the east gate tower at night is not much, only a team of 60 people, in the city gate cave suddenly returned to Zhou Ta led the troops to attack and kill more than ten people, but the defenders on the city tower are mostly Yanhu veterans of the battlefield for a long time, occupying the condescending advantage of the city tower, blocking the city road to fight very tenacious, and did not panic because the city gate was lost for a while.

Although the defenders of the city tower organized crossbowmen to shoot arrows on the inside of the city tower with stone railings to block the road to the city gate, the rolling stones, the wood and the iron pot full of fire oil that could really pose a threat to the big shield were deployed on the outside of the city tower, and they could not be moved over for a while, so the Huaidong army was called to forcibly attack the city. Some of the defenders retreated to the city tower to resist stubbornly, and some of the defenders retreated to the city heads on both sides, and converged with reinforcements from the south and north towers to press the Huaidong army back......

The guard general Puama did not hesitate too much, only ordered to close the gates of the other three cities, while ringing the bell to gather the defenders of the whole city, he personally led more than 100 soldiers guarding the palace, and it was also the elite of the private soldiers of the Punata clan.

In addition to erecting two pontoon bridges over the Han River, the city defense of Xiangyang and Fancheng was also improved. The most obvious thing in Fancheng is that it is close to the inner side of the city wall, digging out an extra inner hao, and building a wooden inner hao bridge in the east city gate to connect the city gate hole and the main street in the city.

As soon as Zhou Ta sent two chariots on the other side of the Neihao Bridge, wanting to block the defenders' counterattack and stabilize his position, Puama rushed to the horse. He straddled his horse, wielded his spear, and swung it from side to side, when the two wagons that were about to get in front of him overturned.

Although the cart is empty, each car also has a net weight of four or five hundred catties, and Puama can pick up the cart and roll it several times with a wielding lance, and the divine power of the two arms can be seen......

The Huaidong Army's generals hiding behind the chariot at the head of the bridge could not give way, so they asked Puama to break in with a horse, sweeping and killing people and suppressing horses, and had to give way to the Neihao Bridge, and lost more than a dozen people one after another.

If Puama occupies the Neihao Bridge and can hold the gap in the Neihao Bridge and organize the defenders to counterattack, it will be very difficult for the Huaidong Army to enter the city and take the entire Fancheng before the reinforcements from the south bank arrive.

Surrounded by five horsemen, Puama rushed across the Neihao Bridge and went straight to the city gate.

The Neihao Bridge is only more than three zhang wide, and it is already crowded with four or five horses at a time, and only Pua Ma is called to grab six horses at a time.

The generals sent by the Huaidong Army to seize the east gate of Fancheng, although there were no generals who could compete with Puama, but most of them were brave and brave tigers who were not afraid of death. But seeing Puama rushing over recklessly, Zhou Ta knew that if he couldn't block Puama's momentum, tell him to kill him, and then ask more than 100 Jianrui behind him to also kill the Neihao Bridge, the array on this side of the city gate was likely to be chaotic and had to withdraw from the east gate, and the results of the previous attack on the city gate would be in vain.

Zhou Tahu roared and waved his sword in front of the horse's head, and at the same time, seven or eight armor soldiers forgot to die and rushed up from both sides to plug the gap.

The sentinel Zhou Ta failed to block the big lance smashed by Puama with a knife, and when he heard the click of his left shoulder, a huge pain came, and the whole person actually smashed his left shoulder to Dashuo and fainted in pain. Zhou Ta fainted, but the man stood in front of the horse, and kicked the horse under Puama's crotch and rolled away - but Puama rushed too far ahead, and the five horsemen who came with him across the bridge blocked the back, and a strange knife slashed horizontally, cutting off Puama's right flank armor, and cutting a bloody wound.

Puama screamed in pain, but he was not allowed to rein in his posture and continue to fight, more Huaidong soldiers came to their senses, rushed to the nearest place, and entangled him together, and one person directly wrapped Puama's lance under his armpit, hugged it desperately, and cut the blade at the front end of the lance with no fear of his armpit......

In the blink of an eye, the five horsemen who rushed across the bridge with Puama fell behind slightly, and two of them had already been cut down and killed, and the defenders behind couldn't rush for a while because the Neihao Bridge was too narrow, and they could only watch Puama himself be entangled at the end of the bridge.

Gao Hu, who was beating the enemy tower at the head of the city, saw the opportunity, jumped down from the stone railing, slashed the sharp horse chopping knife straight down, and split Puama's head in half with an iron helmet......

Puama is also a well-known brave general in the Northern Yan Army, but he unexpectedly killed a group of nobodies in Huaidong, half of the head was cut off, and the blood-white slurry and liquid were sprayed. Puama's death was a great blow to the morale of the defenders who counterattacked at the East City Gate and stubbornly defended them, and the defenders who had rushed to the Neihao Bridge were even more stunned there, forgetting to advance and retreat for a while, and called the Huaidong soldiers to rush over and defeat them in one fell swoop......

***************

The guards of the bridge ferry still occupied the bridgehead on the north bank and did not defeat it, and the soldiers and horses on the south bank rushed to the north bank by the pontoon bridge, and soon, they did not need half a stick of incense, but the Huaidong army rushed over from the left and right, lined up with a big shield, and blocked it with a bow and crossbow, and the defenders could not rush out of the bridge.

In the back, more than a dozen wagons covered with iron plates were smashed into the wheels, and the defenders were blocked from rushing out at the head of the bridge, and then they drove piles behind the wagons to resist the wagons, telling the defenders to rush to the nearest place with arrows, but they could not push the wagons away and push out a passage for attack.

To build a pontoon bridge, it is necessary to choose a stable shore foundation, which needs to be drilled into the mountain as a lock and put on an iron cable to fix the boat bridge.

The two pontoon bridges across the Han River in the south of Fancheng City are built on the Feiyu Cape, which is a huge rock that looks like a bird's beak protrusion from the tip of the north bank, and the three iron cables in the middle of the two pontoon bridges are tied to the Feiyu Cape side by side.

The depth of the flying feather cape is more than 200 steps, it is counted as the approach part of the pontoon bridge, it is not short, but the front is only forty or fifty steps wide, and both sides are the steep cliffs that are difficult for apes to climb, and the river beach under the cliff is seventeen or eighteen zhang deep from the bridgehead.

It's just such a bridgehead, once the front is blocked, it is difficult to rush out again.

The defenders couldn't fight out, but they also stubbornly held the bridgehead on the north bank and did not retreat, so that the Huaidong Army had the opportunity to get close to the bridgehead and burn the pontoon bridge.

Although the pontoon bridge is fast, but the bridgehead is fixed there, and it is only so wide, once it is blocked, the battle line that can be deployed is only dozens of steps wide, and the front is still under the blockade of Huaidong bow and crossbow, even if there are 100,000 reinforcements, there is no way to expand the advantage of troops and rush over.

To help the north bank, the only way to cross the river is to cross the river by boat.

Although the location of the iron pile wharf is located in the low-sunken river beach area, the passage from the shore up and down to the river beach and into the wharf is also easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are more than 100 soldiers who hold on to it.

Even if the iron pile wharf fell, the warships of the navy army were relatively shallow, and they could find a place to dock on the north shore at will, and it was impossible for the Huaidong army to block the coastline around Fancheng for dozens of miles in a hurry......

Azig organized soldiers and horses to aid Fancheng on the south bank, and the speed was not slow, and the first 1,000 soldiers and horses landed from the iron pile dock in less than half an hour.

Although at this time, Huang Zuyu and the elite equipped with armor had also rushed to Fancheng City, but the most important thing was to take Fancheng in one go, and only send a battalion of soldiers to strengthen the combat power of the iron pile wharf, and intercept the Xiangyang reinforcements from landing from here.

In such a short period of time, there was no way to cross the war horse to the north shore.

Azig and more than 1,000 elites dismounted and fought on foot, Azig wore heavy armor, slashed his sabre and fought in front of the soldiers, occupied the iron pile wharf and forced to break north, ignoring the dense arrow rain of the Huaidong army, only bent on joining up with Puama before the loss of Fancheng, and repelling the Huaidong army that attacked Fancheng.

There were quite a few generals of the Huaidong Army on the periphery of the iron pile pier who were unarmoured, and their numbers were small, so they suffered a great loss, so they had to temporarily retreat to Qiaodu Dongli, which had succeeded in the early sneak attack, and rushed to support a group of soldiers and horses with the east gate, and pinned Azig from the left and right, so that he would not have the opportunity to approach Fancheng.

Although Fancheng is not built near the water, it is only two miles away from the iron pile wharf, not to mention that if you go up from the iron pile wharf, you can first relieve the siege of the bridgehead - open the gap there, and the reinforcements on the south bank will be able to enter the north bank without blockage......

Azig looked at the seven or eight more ships behind him that brought more than 300 reinforcements, and thought to himself that as long as there were reinforcements to cross the river, and Puama could hold a position in Fancheng, then he would be able to repel this attacking enemy-Azig stood on the dock on a slightly lower terrain, and could not see the situation on the other side of Fancheng, and could only faintly hear that the sound of fighting on the other side of Fancheng showed no signs of abating......

At this time, there was a ship carrying seven or eight war horses, and the left and right soldiers embraced the heavily armored Azig stepped on the war horses, and rushed to the periphery to kill - when Azig rushed out of the low-lying dock area, and saw the city of Fancheng for the first time, he only saw that the defenders of the city tower were crushed, and under the fireworks, there were more than a dozen defenders who could not retreat, and they fell from the mouth of the battlement wall......

Azig's back was cold: In such a short period of time, the South Gate has also fallen! Puama is known as the first brave general of the Punatsa clan, what kind of shit does he eat!

Azig didn't know that Puama was killed in front of the battle at the gate of Dongcheng at this time, and it was precisely because of Puama's death that the morale of the defenders of Fancheng was frustrated, and because there was no unified command, the Huaidong army that rushed into the city was quickly defeated.

When the Huaidong army took Nancheng and opened the southern gate, it directly connected the south gate of Fancheng with the Qiaodu District and the Qiaodu East Base, and there were more than 1,000 soldiers who poured out directly from the South City to support the Qiaodu East Wall, and directly came to fight the reinforcements led by Azig who landed from the iron pile wharf......

Seeing that the attacking enemy had the spare strength to divide troops from the city to support the Qiaodu District, Azig's heart was completely cold.

The next wave of reinforcements will have to wait an hour to come, and there are more than a thousand soldiers behind him, and there is no particularly steep terrain to defend on the periphery of the iron pile pier, and it is impossible to block the counterattack of the enemy who is more than twice as large. However, if you retreat to the side of the iron pile pier and hold on, what difference will it be from the situation at the bridgehead, if you don't press the attacking enemy in a narrow area, and no more reinforcements will be deployed?
