Seeing the war turned around and the victory was his own, Xin Wang Zhaozhen was not very happy when he saw this situation. Instead, he frowned and shouted: "Quick! All the soldiers will retreat to me! Let the front line be guarded by the veterans! Take this opportunity! Give me time to rest!"
These regular troops have been fighting with the officers and soldiers with Xin Wang Zhao Zhen and General Shan Hongfei for more than half a month. Although they are not elite soldiers, they can be regarded as elite soldiers. Under the order of the letter king Zhao Zhen, these regular troops quickly took over the front of the soldiers, fought with the officers and soldiers, and suppressed those officers and soldiers at the head of the city in the same way.
After this time, Qin Hui led the elite officers and soldiers directly under the city wall. Looking at the officers and soldiers who kept rushing to the top of the city, but were constantly being killed, Qin Hui's face was full of disdain. Immediately, under Qin Hui's signal, the lieutenant of the Imperial Guard shouted at the officers and soldiers in front of him: "Shameful! Don't hurry up and get out of me! Give us a way out!"
Those officers and soldiers were already afraid of being killed by the soldiers on the front of the city. At this moment, they had no intention of fighting. Hearing the voice of Qin Hui's lieutenant, those officers and soldiers immediately gave way to Qin Hui and the elite troops.
Qin Hui saw the fear on the faces of the officers and soldiers, his face was even more proud, and he immediately shouted to the elite soldiers in front of him: "Soldiers! Let the officers and soldiers taste our greatness!"
"Kill!" The elite soldiers shouted in unison, raising their swords and spears in their hands. Immediately, Qin Hui raised a long sword and pointed towards the top of the city. The elite soldiers immediately followed the previous officers and soldiers. The remaining ladder climbed up towards the city.
At this moment, a dark round object suddenly fell from the sky, but it happened to hit Qin Hui's lieutenant's helmet running in the front. The thing hit the head of the lieutenant, but it broke with a scream, but it splashed out a lot of things like soot, and the lieutenant who splashed was all over his face, even his eyes were blurred. Up. Suddenly being hit by something that I don’t know what it was, the lieutenant was also inexplicable. When even he stretched out his hand and wiped his face, he wiped off those soot-like faces, then he could open his eyes. .
"What the hell!" The lieutenant cursed. He looked up, only to find that more things that were similar to the one that smashed on his helmet had fallen from the air, but they smashed around one after another. , Most of the elite soldiers had the same encounter with Qin Hui. They were hit by the weird thing, and a lot of powder was glued all over their body. Fortunately, the powder seemed to be harmless.
The lieutenant couldn't help but looked up at the city head suspiciously, wondering what the anti-thief on the city head was doing, and why did he throw some weird things out of nowhere
On the city’s head, after commanding the soldiers to throw those bottles and cans down the city’s head, Xin Wang Zhao Zhenhan nodded to General Shan Hongfei with a face and said: "General Huazhonglong! It’s all up to you next. The archer team!"
General Hua Zhonglong smiled confidently: "My lord! Don't worry! I dare not say anything else! The archers who bow to the bow and arrow, the archers under the General, admit that they have never lost. Give it to others!" After saying that, General Hua Zhonglong stretched out his hand behind him. The three archers who were ready for a long time each lifted an iron bow and arrow and were wrapped in a thick thick layer. The arrow of the linen cloth was handed to the dragon in the flower at the same time.
Huazhonglong and the archer were very neatly placed three arrows on the iron bow at the same time. The other three archers were also ready, and another soldier next to them quickly gave all four of them arrows. The burlap on the top was ignited, and the arrows of each of the three arrows immediately ignited a raging flame.
Without saying anything, General Huazhonglong directly held the arch of the iron bow with one hand, and twisted the feathers of the three arrows with the other, and placed it on the bowstring, pulling the strong bow to the full moon in one breath.
Hua Zhonglong held the already tightened bow and arrow, and aimed at the officers and soldiers who had been smashed inexplicably under the city for a moment, even loosening the bowstring.
As the other three archers let go of the bowstrings of their bows and arrows, the twelve arrows suddenly looked like meteors, flying towards the city, and they were still flying in twelve different directions, which shows that the dragon in the flower. Together with the other archers, they are all amazing in archery skills!
The twelve rockets happened to land on the elite soldiers who were trying their best to avoid. The double pain caused by the tingling of the arrow and the burning of the flame made the soldiers scream.
The flame on the arrow was about to go out, but suddenly, the flame seemed to be dragged by something, and it instantly covered the entire battlefield. The flame rushed to the whole body of the surrounding officers and soldiers madly. In a blink of an eye it became a raging fire, directly wrapping up the soldiers.
Countless flames erupted, and immediately spread around all the officers and soldiers around, and there was a great tendency to develop into a prairie fire.
Now Qin Hui and his lieutenant were dumbfounded. Qin Hui hid far behind, naturally there would be no problem, but his lieutenant immediately thought of something, and took the palm of his hand that had just wiped his face. Reaching under his nose and smelling it, his face suddenly changed, a smell of sulfur and charcoal!
Now even if I thought with my toes, I knew what the Shimen defenders were thinking. Looking at the soldiers around me who were full of flames and screaming in pain, the lieutenant suddenly remembered that he was also full of gunpowder. She couldn't help but shudder, when she reached out her hand to take off the gunpowder-tainted armor.
"Be careful, general!" An exclamation sounded from the side, causing the lieutenant to raise his head subconsciously, but what caught the lieutenant's eyes was an increasing flame.
"Wow!" A rocket accurately hit the lieutenant who Qin Hui's leaning against. Although the lieutenant raised his arm in time to block the rocket that was shooting at his vital point, it was also on his arm. It was all traces of gunpowder, and the flames on the rocket immediately followed the lieutenant's arm and crawled all over his body.
The lieutenant only had time to let out a scream before he fell off his horse. The forward leader fell from the horse, and the army of officers and soldiers, which was already somewhat chaotic, was even more chaotic. Not only that, the gunpowder boxes and barrels that were lit around also exploded one after another.
In the sea of flames and explosions on all sides, these elite soldiers dropped their weapons and began to avoid the comrades who had become Burning men around them. At the same time, they had to guard against the rockets that fell from the city from time to time and occasionally hit the gunpowder barrel After the violent explosion.
"Tsk!" On the head of the city, the generals looked at the results of the battle they had caused under the city, and their faces showed joy.
The garrison soldiers are all soldiers who have experienced many fights. They are much better than the bandit soldiers just now. You don’t need to believe in Wang Zhaozhen’s command. Many of them started to pry open the ladders on the walls. .
The archers of the defending army and the official archers outside the city shot at each other and suppressed each other. The soldiers of the defending army even leaned out half of their bodies and used their long hook spears to push away the ladders. Those wooden ladders fell down, but they became fuel for the fire under the city, and the fire under the city became more and more vigorous!
"Trash!" Seeing the unfavorable war ahead, Zhang Jun yelled with a ferocious expression. The low table in front of him had already been slapped into pieces of wooden boards.
"Three days! It has been three full days! Even the head of Shimen City has not been attacked! You are all rubbish!"
Standing next to Zhang Jun, Fang Jiangzhong and others dare not even say anything, and another general bowed in front of Zhang Jun and remained silent. The general was covered in gray heads and faces, and there was a large burned scar on his face, which looked particularly terrifying. This general was the lieutenant of Qin Hui, who had recovered a life under Shimen City that day. Although he had recovered a life, most of the lieutenant’s body was burned by the fire, and the lieutenant’s body was too strong. As an ordinary person, I am afraid that I will still be unable to stand up.
Seeing the lieutenant kneeling there and not speaking, the face of Qin Hui next to him was also green. Due to Qin Hui's face, Zhang Jun was also full of anger. From the first day of the siege to today, another three full days have passed. The Shimen City seemed to be cast of iron, and their attack was blocked abruptly.
In fact, Zhang Jun also knew that the bad siege was indeed not entirely blamed on the lieutenant. To this day, Zhang Jun shuddered when he thought of the experience that day.
A sudden fire and explosion killed, burned or burned, and wounded more than four thousand elite officers and soldiers! These elites are not comparable to those ordinary officers and soldiers. They are the trump card troops that Zhao Gou has kept and brought out with great pains. The entire Zhang Jun's troops are only more than 10,000 people. Now they have lost 4,000 in a blink of an eye. Jun remembered that blood was dripping in his heart.
Therefore, in the next more than a day, Zhang Jun no longer dared to easily send elite officers and soldiers adapted from the Imperial Guard, and simply let those hundreds of thousands of ordinary officers and soldiers attack Shimen City. Zhang Jun didn't believe in this evil, even if it was a waste, he would consume the defenders in Shimen City! Run out!
However, the development of the situation that followed was unacceptable to Zhang Jun. Hundreds of thousands of troops attacked day and night for more than three days, but they were unable to shake the walls of Shimen City. Seeing that the officers and soldiers have suffered nearly 40,000 casualties under the walls of Shimen City, but the results of the battle are getting worse day by day. Today, even a single officer or soldier has not attacked the top of the city. This has caused Zhang Jun to make such a big fire.
After waiting for Zhang Jun to finish cursing, Qin Hui said in a deep voice, "Master Zhang! It is not good for the subordinates to attack the city! I beg Master Zhang to punish!"
"Punish? Humph!" Zhang Jun snorted coldly, but suddenly grabbed a piece of broken wood beside him, and threw it directly at the lieutenant under Qin Hui, who did not dare to move at all. , Let the broken wood chip across his cheek, leaving a blood stain.
Zhang Jun stood up with a scream, and yelled: "Hundreds of thousands of troops, but it is not enough to take the Shimen City guarded by only tens of thousands! How do you let me punish you? Instead of thinking about these useless things every day, it is better to give me Haosheng think about how to take down Shimen City for me! Get out!"
After all, Zhang Jun still didn't treat Qin Hui's lieutenant. After all, Qin Hui's lieutenant was the general Qin Hui brought out from Zhao Gou's hands. He couldn't deal with each other.
As for himself, Zhang Jun was very clear in his heart. Although he was a good student and had a high prestige among officers and soldiers, he was far inferior to Qin Hui when it came to the ability to march and fight. So even if Qin Hui's attack on the city was not good, Zhang Jun still didn't punish him. After he punished Qin Hui, Zhang Jun had no hope of taking down Shimen City. Therefore, even if Qin Hui was defeated, Zhang Jun could only use his lieutenant to vent his breath, and he didn't dare to do anything to them!
After driving away Qin Hui's lieutenant, Qin Hui also raised his hand to leave and retired. At this moment, Zhang Jun glanced at Zhang Jun and Fang Jiangzhong who were standing next to them, and the anger in his heart stopped. These two guys don't have much ability to lead soldiers to fight, and they know fighting each other every day! Immediately, Zhang Jun was also a throwaway, and drove the two people out. There was only Zhang Jun left in the military tent, and Zhang Jun no longer had to worry about his majesty. He sat on the chair with a dejected face, but his heart was full of bitterness.
Although the officers and soldiers of the various states and counties are now very good in fighting the anti-thief, Zhang Jun knows that this is just the beginning. The Xinwang Army in the west and north is the biggest problem for the imperial court.
But up to now, this powerful King of Letters Army has not been dispatched. They just want to deal with an army supported by King of Letters. It is so difficult. Once they face the King of Letters who can defeat all the golden soldiers. As for the army, that is the test they really have to face.
However, the first thing to face this test is the Jinbing in Kaifeng. As for Zhang Jun, his task is to provide support for Da Song to pacify the rear and to ensure that they can safely eliminate the army of anti-thief from all walks of life. But the problem is that now Zhang Jun has not even taken the primary goal, Shimen City, or Shimen City. Now Zhang Jun can’t even solve the problem of food and grass for his officers and soldiers, let alone follow the original plan and take advantage of the situation. Going south, attacking Yang Yao, the greatest calamity of Jinghu Lake Road.
Seeing the passage of time, the army of the faithful king army in the west station may come to suppress them at any time, but Zhang Jun has made no progress here. How can Zhang Jun not be anxious.
"Master Zhang! See you at the end!"
A call sounded suddenly from outside the military tent. Zhang Jun couldn't help but was taken aback. He immediately stood up, frowned and asked, "Who? Didn't I say that no one is allowed to disturb me?"
"Master Zhang! At the end, General Zhang Jun will be under General Liu Zheng! I want to see Master Zhang if you have something to do!" An answer came from outside the military account.
Liu Zhengjiang? Zhang Jun couldn't help but was taken aback, but he immediately remembered, isn't it the young player who suggested that he use the elite? At that time, Zhang Jun still had some interest in this person, but he was upset by the dispute between Zhang Jun and Fang Jiangzhong, and he forgot about it afterwards.
This teenager suddenly came to ask for what he did? Zhang Jun was full of suspicion, and Dang Yi shouted: "Come in!"
"Here!" After answering, the curtain of the military account was lifted, and a young general walked in. It was the young general Liu Zhengjiang. After Liu Zhengjiang entered the military account, he directly saluted Zhang Jun and shouted: "I will see Master Zhang at the end!"
Zhang Jun waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite! Let's talk! What's the matter with you coming to see this handsome at this time?" Zhang Jun, who is good at franchising, didn't put a stand in front of him. However, he motioned to Liu Zhengjiang to sit down and speak.
A hint of joy flashed across Liu Zhengjiang's face. He came to Zhang Jun in private this time. It was originally extremely unruly, but now it seems that Zhang Jun does not mind.
After holding a fist at Zhang Jun and thanking him, Liu Zhengjiang was not hypocritical, and directly sat half of his ass on the low stool Zhang Jun pointed to. After Zhang Jun sat back in his seat, he clasped his fist and said, "Master Zhang! During this period, our army's attack on Shimen City has not progressed smoothly. Now the morale of the army is also greatly affected. If this continues, I'm afraid The future of our army is not good!"
If it were changed to what Zhang Jun or Fang Jiangzhong said, Zhang Jun, who was annoyed, would only be a slap in the face. But for Liu Zhengjiang, Zhang Jun did not scold him, but instead asked with interest: " If you see it, what should our army do next?"
I was mentally prepared, waiting for Zhang Jun's reprimand, but he didn't expect that Zhang Jun would instead ask his own opinions patiently, which surprised Liu Zhengjiang. I have long heard of Zhang Junkou Honeybelly Sword, but today it seems to be different from the legend. Liu Zhengjiang almost regarded Zhang Jun as one of his own Bole who knew that he was a Maxima.
Seeing that Zhang Jun’s expression did not seem to be false, Liu Zhengjiang quickly replied: "At the end of the past few days, the general had also accompanied the army to siege the city, but he discovered that there was a strange horizontal wood and rolling wood at the head of Shimen city. Although the horizontal wood and the rolling wood seemed simple, they blocked the offensive of our army to a great extent. The general had also thought of a way for the soldiers to destroy the horizontal wood and the rolling wood. However, the officers and soldiers seemed to have been prepared long ago. After it is broken, it will be replaced with a new one immediately! With this kind of horizontal wood and rolling wood, we will not be able to capture the head of Shimen City in a short time!"
Zhang Jun nodded, and Liu Zheng saw the horizontal and rolling logs mentioned, but he used several logs to be tied together horizontally and vertically and placed on the top of the city. The horizontal log sticks out from the top of the city, just blocking the way for officers and soldiers to climb up the top of the city from the ladder, while the vertical log is protected on the top of the city, so that the soldiers in Shimen can face from the gap in the middle of the log. External assassination can block the attacks of officers and soldiers.
