Zou NV's army retreated very quickly and soon left the border of Hanzhong.

He retreated here and didn't mention it for the time being, outside Hanzhong City, the war also came to an end.

The Thunderbolt is very effective, but there is a weakness that it is also a large burden on the machinery, and it is easy to wear out and fall apart, so the Thunderbolt must be maintained every dozens of stones.

Thunderbolts have to change formations from time to time.

At this time, he was in charge of the siege of the city, and he was newly promoted to Zhang Shuijing, with a low official position, and he was seventeen or eighteen years old.

Wang Hongyi didn't mind this kind of behavior, in fact, in ancient times, it was very reasonable and justified.

Zhang Shuijing's facial features are actually quite delicate, and there is a bit of heroism between his eyebrows and eyes, Wang Hongyi and Zhang Jing have seen it once, and when they saw a hint of light red on their top, they immediately made a decision and served as the fire chief, and in less than a year, they were appointed as the head of the Jiupin team.

Although Zhang Youzhi is only the sixth product, people with a discerning eye know that the future is unlimited, some distant relatives have taken refuge in it, Zhang Youzhi also took out Dai Lu and rewards, bought sacrificial fields, and also set up a monument, Wang Hongyi knew, and rewarded some silver, and remembered the inscription.

"Since my Zhang family entered Shu, there have been four generations, and I have been abolishing nòng for twenty years. At this time, there is a revival, when there is a sacrifice to the field to pass on the permanence, I will give a thousand taels of silver to increase the worship field. In September of this year, he bought 300 acres of fertile land outside Chengdu, and moved to Zhangjiatang in August. This is the light of the solid state, and it is also the glory of the clan. ”

Immediately the family was united, and the young people in the clan began to practice Chinese hyphenation, although Zhang Shuijing was a branch, but he was powerful and brave, so he was sheltered into the army.

Zhang Shuijing also knew that he was protected by his cousin to join the army as an officer, "if he doesn't perform well, he will lose his cousin's face and hinder the next development of the family, so whether it is training" or attacking, he is very active.

A few days ago, I had been holding back my strength, wanting to break through the city of Hanzhong City in one go, and make a gap, so that others could see that I still had some skills.

However, because of the Jiāo generation before Wang Hongyi, he had to suppress the speed of the siege, and as a result, he was looked down upon by the uninformed people (most of them) in the army.

As soon as he thought of the way these people looked at him, Zhang Shuijing was eager to immediately lead people to smash the boulder through the city wall with a thunderbolt car.

Boom! Boom!

On the city wall of Hanzhong City, a burst of dust rose up "Thunderbolt car, and another round of boulders."

"Change the stone bomb!", Zhang Shuijing shouted.

Immediately someone carried the boulder, moved to the car, several thunderbolts, and aimed again.

"Hair shè!", Zhang Shuijing shouted.

"Boom!", a few more boulders smashed over! smashed the city wall again, and some powder and slag fell to the ground, "As the boulders fell to the ground, several pieces rolled on the ground, rolled down into the moat, and suddenly the water splashed in all directions!

The defenders of Hanzhong, under this attack, only listened to the orders of the generals that "the people have to bite the bullet and take advantage of the gap to repair the city wall" At the same time, some people also issued shè crossbow arrows.

Because the distance is still far away, across the moat, ordinary bows and arrows are not shè Cheng at all, "but in the hands of Hanzhong, there are a batch of crossbow shè machines", this shè Cheng is far away.

Hearing only a "poof", a crossbow arrow actually grazed Zhang Shuijing's hair bun and flew over, shè hit a person behind him" Suddenly there was a scream, and the soldier threw himself on the ground, seeing that he was no longer alive.

Zhang Shuijing suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, "Let his anger rush up all at once."

The "Thunderbolt" projectile raised its height and said, "Aim in the direction of the crossbowmen in the city, bombard!", he said coldly, although the lord has an order, not to attack, with trebuchets, to teach the other party some lessons, but it is enough.

"No!", with an order, several thunderbolts moved a little, the direction of the thunderbolt carts was slightly raised, and under the shouting, several boulders went towards the city at the same time.

The target of this boulder bombardment is obviously not the city wall, but the people in the city!

This move is really a bit of a loss, although the damage to the city wall is not great, but every stone that falls "can kill a lot of people, compared to the threat of attacking the city and breaking the wall, this bloody and vague appearance, to the defenders of the city is a great shock!

Zhang Shuijing under the city also seemed to notice that this move was much more shocking than the bombardment of the city, and he immediately regretted it, why didn't he think of this method earlier.

So he ordered to go down and bombard the intervals of the city walls, and from time to time a few stones flew out to attack the soldiers of the city.

After going down several times, the city wall was seriously damaged but could not be repaired, and the people on the city wall were almost gone.

It is at this moment that the army behind it, the sound of Mingjin rises sharply.

"The so-called Hanzhong City is nothing more than that!" If it weren't for noon, Zhang Shuijing would continue to fight, glanced at the city with a sneer, turned his horse, and ran towards the direction of the camp without hurrying.

The siege team outside the city "went to rest except for the vigilance patrol."

"Bastard! Damn!" Seeing this scene, the guards at the head of the city couldn't help but be angry and shouted.

Then there was a burst of cursing, but no one around him echoed him.

Just as he was feeling strange, he heard footsteps behind him.

The guard general sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned around, and saw Hanzhong Taishou Zhong Wendao wearing thin armor "from the protection of the shì to the city" and was standing not far behind him, "looking at himself."

"The minister has seen the lord!", he bowed down and said.

"The Shu army has retreated?", Zhong Wendao asked lightly.

"Yes, my lord. The guard bowed his head and said.

"Today...... Heavy casualties, Zhong Wendao frowned, looking at the nearby scene, this is not only a heavy casualty, it is simply miserable!

"Lord, the actual casualties are not big, but these Shu troops are really hateful! The boulder smashed up" The body is scattered and turned into mud, which is a great blow to morale!", thinking of the previous incident, the guard gritted his teeth.

If it weren't for the lord's strict order, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to hold it back and go out of the city to face the battle.

"The battle of wills! It is so easy to be provoked by the other party, you are not competent as a guard, continue to do it, xiǎo has the enemy's tricks in his heart. Zhong Wendao thought for a while and said, "This city is temporarily guarded by others, and you have also guarded it for a few days, so go down and rest first......!" It's "Lord Lord." Originally, he opened his mouth to say something, but when he raised his head, he was facing Zhong Wendao's gaze, and the guard was heartbroken, bowed down, and retreated to the side with a little unwillingness.

Zhong Wendao gives people the feeling that "he has always been gentle and elegant, but if this is the case, he will not achieve today's status."

He is also very good at ruthless methods.

The guards who had been with him for some years knew this well, and they did not dare to disobey his orders.

Zhong Wendao assigned a person to temporarily replace the previous guard.

Hatefully glanced at the bloody scene above the city tower, the original guard waved his hand, and retreated with his own soldiers to rest, and at the same time, this personal soldier went down, and by the way, he carried down a lot of corpses that could not be seen in their original appearance.

The smell of blood in the air has not diminished at all, and the smell is still so unpleasant, to be honest, although he has been reprimanded, the guard is still happy in his heart.

Finally, I don't have to face that.

Zhong Wendao stood on the city wall, "as if he was not affected by this environment, but just looked out with deep eyes."

Looking out from the city wall a few zhang high, although the Shu army camp in the distance is far away, he can still see a continuous piece, because it is a little far away, the specific appearance is not clear at all, "this momentum is rushing to the face" brought him a feeling of almost suffocation.

Without this huge trebuchet, Wang Hongyi's 40,000-strong army surrounded the city, and it would not be easy to attack it in a month.

It's going to be a tough battle, and it's going to be very costly.

Now the city walls are constantly wearing down, and the morale of the city is constantly low, "even if this is the case, it should not besiege the city for a few days" is still so moving.

It's not that he didn't receive the news of the Qin army's coming to help, and he noticed the signs of the Qin army's arrival, standing here at this time, but found that Wang Hongyi's army besieging Hanzhong was not at all luàn.

Could it be that the Qin army hasn't attacked yet?

Zhong Wendao was a little skeptical at the moment, whether the news he received at the beginning was true or false.

But after thinking about it, Hanzhong is adjacent to Guanzhong, and Hanzhong is occupied by Wang Hongyi, which is equivalent to capturing Qinchuan's mén household, "Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, which is very unfavorable to Guo Wentong's internal expansion and foreign expansion, Zhong Wendao does not believe that Guo Wentong will watch Wang Hongyi capture Hanzhong with peace of mind and be indifferent."

Although Guo Wentong is much worse than Wang Hongyi in terms of strength, "in the end, he is a general who has experienced a hundred battles, and it is impossible to be inferior to Wang Hongyi, a young man", and Guo Wentong's Guo family, which has been operated for three generations, and now the four counties have also been operating for many years, and it is not comparable to the foundation of Wang Hongyi's just unification of East and West Yizhou.

In Zhong Wendao's view, Guo Wentong has an advantage over Wang Hongyi.

Although Zhong Wendao is not good at attacking, he can repeatedly resist the attacks of foreign enemies, relying on the advantages of this city wall.

Originally, Zhong Wendao didn't dare to say that he could fight as well as Guo Wentong, and with the advantage of the number of defenders in the city and the city wall, he could still guarantee it, but at this time, he didn't have this confidence.

"Wait for the arrival of the Qin army! Let the soldiers take turns to rest, if the Qin army does not come, I will drag it until the Qin army arrives!" Zhong Wendao said with a sneer.

In Hanzhong County, there are many defenders, and there are a lot of food reserves, either Wang Hongyi has a trebuchet in his hand, or it is dry, and it also consumes a few months.

In the Shu army camp in the distance, Wang Hongyi sat in the main tent, and in front of him stood soldiers who returned to the military situation.

"Stand down. He waved his hand to pull back.

Wang Hongyi began to think about the information he had just heard, and it turned out that Guo Wentong's army had really retreated. I have passed through Liangchuan County and returned to Qinchuan.

"Presumably Guo Wentong will not give up, but he can only swallow this temporarily. Gas.

The strategic idea has been frustrated, and Wang Hongyi will not continue to spend it here. I already have a plan in my heart.

At noon, Wang Hongyi's army once again approached the city.

This time, all the 40,000 troops came to the city, the banners were unfurled, and the momentum of the Shu army made the defenders in the city pale one by one, and they suddenly understood that this time might be different.

After the 40,000-strong army was neatly under the city, they did not immediately attack the county seat of Hanzhong, but sent people with loud voices to shout at the city.

Zhong Wendao stood at the head of the city, listening to the shouting below: "Guo Wentong has withdrawn his army" You still don't surrender!"

Zhong Wendao's heart was one, and his face was pale.

In the midst of the army, a man in thin armor who was protected by the crowd "rode out on horseback and met his gaze at the head of the city."

"Lord, what should I do?", an official next to him asked.

Zhong Wen said in a deep voice: "Don't pay attention to it, this is the language of the people's hearts, tell me to go down, you don't have to listen to their words!"
