The battle situation in Wuling is about to be improved, and the war in Lingling is going on in a stalemate. Lingling city head fluttered with a general flag of "General Wei Yan, annihilating the bandit". Up and down the city was stained red with countless blood, and countless stumps and broken arms were piled up.
This siege was very tragic, and Bao Long's more than 10,000 troops were also very fierce.
Wei Yan's defense was very hard. On the one hand, the defenders were scarce, with only four thousand men. On the other hand, only one thousand of the four thousand are veterans. The others are original soldiers who have not been fully trained. The quality of the army is similar to that of Baolong's army, but Baolong's army has an advantage in numbers.
But fortunately, the walls of Lingling are not big or small, just suitable for defending the city, and very strong. Relying on the city, Wei Yan blocked Bao Long's wave after wave of attacks.
At this point, the fight has been going on for more than ten days. There are more than two thousand soldiers left under Wei Yan who can still fight. The loss was great, but morale was high.
Wei Yan has his own set of methods for training soldiers, and his army is highly disciplined. But this could not conceal the fact that in Wei Yan's army, apart from the 1,000 men he brought over, other soldiers rarely experienced bloody battles. Wei Yan believes that in the next battle, his army will lose less and less, and Baolong's army will lose more and more. Wearing a silver armor, Wei Yan patrolled the city wall with a tense face and some soldiers. Looking at the enemy camp in the distance, Wei Yan smiled coldly, and the unknown rat dared to attack our city.
……
In the east of Changsha city, a general in silver armor stood on the head of the city. The general looks ordinary, but he has a burly stature. Silently watched the Han army under the city. The general's name was Zhao Yi, and he was an ordinary school lieutenant under Han Xuan's account, with a cautious personality. He paid close attention to the movement of the Han army under the city and reported to Han Xuan at any time.
The Han army led by Huang Zhong was also stationed at the East Gate. For Huang Zhong, Han Xuan was a little frightened. It was rumored that Huang Zhong could shoot the enemy in the throat two hundred steps away, with no imaginary arrows. Although afraid, since the prefect Han Xuan had orders, Zhao Yi had to observe the enemy's situation here.
But he knew that Changsha had an army of 10,000 people, and the city wall was guarded. In a siege battle, the defender has an inherent advantage, and his winning rate is much higher than that of Huang Zhong. As a result, Zhao Yi became confident again.
Han Xuan in the prefect's mansion was in a good mood at this time. He was about to jump up excitedly when he learned that Su Dai had successfully called the barbarians to attack Wuling. However, the army outside the city has not been withdrawn, and there are still 20,000 troops besieging the city. Moreover, his general Huang Zhong has already turned to Liu Xun, which is a mixed blessing.
However, in general, the Han army is no longer attacking the city, and he has a chance to breathe. Han Xuan hoped that the barbarian army could take down Wuling City and destroy Liu Xun as soon as possible, so that the siege of Changsha could be completely lifted. Han Xuan brought a group of officials to the top of the city, and saw the Han army in the distance sitting on the ground, listless. Han Xuan was very happy in his heart. He thought that the Han soldiers were panicked and would collapse sooner or later, and they would definitely not attack the city lately.
Han Xuan patted the partial general who was guarding the city, and said, "Be good at the city. The barbarians have already dispatched to help us. Soon the Han army will be in disaster."
"No." Pianjiang answered very loudly.
Han Xuan walked around the city for a while, then took his left and right relatives down the city wall and returned to the mansion in the city.
After Han Xuan left, the general who was ordered to guard glanced at the Han army under the city, and said to the cronies around him: "It is estimated that the Han army will not attack the city recently, but you have to watch it. I will go to rest in the tower. Call me in time if you have anything to do."
Obviously, this general would think that the Han army had no intention of attacking the city in such a catastrophe, and that the siege was just a gesture.
"Nuo." The cronies replied, and Gong sent Pianjiang into the tower to rest.
Following the prefect, the generals left one after another, and the atmosphere on the city was more relaxed. There were very few wars in Jingnan, and everyone was used to days without wars. There are no strong generals, no matter whether it is quality, discipline, or bloodliness, they are not as good as the Han army.
Under the city, Zhuge Liang took Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and other generals to scan the city wall on foot. Seeing the archers on the city, their expressions were relaxed, and there was no solemn, solemn expression at all. When the war is on the verge of breaking out now, this is actually what it looks like.
Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart, this Han Xuan simply treated war as a trifle.
"Military strategist, this Changsha guard is really lazy."
Gan Ning said with a smile on his face. Zhao Yun has been fighting for a long time, and even if the fight has not started, the atmosphere of killing can be felt everywhere in the barracks, but Han Xuan is not nervous at all. Maybe he thinks that with the help of brutal soldiers, he can sit back and relax, which is really ridiculous.
"This is better, we can take the opportunity to take down Changsha City in one fell swoop."
Huang Zhong is eager to try.
"Men's husband, we should make meritorious deeds. Build an immortal foundation with the lord. Now we have met the Ming lord, just to show our talents."
Gan Ning's heart was full of admiration. He believed that the current lord Liu Bei and his son Liu Xun were far better than his former lord Liu Biao.
"Originally, I just wanted to encircle Changsha. After the son broke through the barbaric army, I would attack Changsha. But Changsha is now full of flaws and the soldiers are slack. I took this opportunity to take the city by surprise. Let the three armies be prepared to attack tonight. city."
After watching for a while, Zhuge Liang made up his mind to capture Changsha City tonight.
"No." Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong responded, and went down with a few captains to remind the soldiers that they had gone. Keep the excitement of fighting at all times.
According to Zhuge Liang's orders, the soldiers of the Han army buried their pots and cooked food, then rested well, recharged and prepared themselves for the siege war that was coming in the evening. Compared with the lazy defenders on the front of the city, the Han army is far different.
Soon, the sky slowly dimmed.
"Strike the city." Zhuge Liang gave orders to the entire army, with a serious expression and solemn expression.
"Promise." Huang Zhong and Gan Ning agreed.
Subsequently, under the leadership of Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, the soldiers who were sitting on the ground quickly got up and lined up. At the same time, dozens of siege ladders were quickly lifted to the city wall. Huang Zhong and Gan Ning worked eagerly to deal with this siege, it was very hard work.
The guards on the city were panicked when they saw the Han army attacking the city, and quickly notified the defensive general.
After receiving the report, he quickly put on his armor and walked towards the city wall quickly. At this time, the horn full of murderousness has sounded.
"Uuuuu..."
"kill… "
The sound of the horn and the shouting and killing sounded at the same time, and the 20,000 army, led by dozens of ladders, attacked only one city wall. There is no front team, no rear team, only a one-time charge.
"In one go, take down Changsha!" Zhuge Liang didn't just talk about it.
On the city, the partial general who hurried over looked at Zhuge Liang's army swarming down the city wall almost in disbelief. Without leaving any room, there is a fierce attack as soon as it comes up. What kind of tactics is this? Partial general's heart is extremely worried.
It wasn't until Zhuge Liang's army had approached the city wall that the general came back to his senses and let out a stern scream: "Beat the drum, prepare to defend the city."
"Kill." But the fierce murderous aura was already close at hand. Let Fan will be cold all over.
At the prefect's mansion in Changsha City, Han Xuan took off his clothes and was about to go to bed, his heart was shocked by the noise of shouting and killing. Before he recovered, he saw a soldier who was so kind, and broke in. The report with a pale face: "General, Zhuge Liang has attacked the city. At this moment, many soldiers have boarded the city wall and are at war with the defenders."
"What?" Han Xuan was stunned, he didn't expect the Han army to attack the city now.
"Allocate the army, allocate the army. Let all the army defend, and we must defend the city of Changsha." Han Xuan shouted angrily.
However, the mobilization of the army takes time. Zhuge Liang didn't give him time at all.
On the city wall, shouts of killing and screams coexisted, and the defenders retreated while screaming.
Gan Ning and Huang Zhong were unwilling to show weakness, and rushed to the forefront one after another, both wanting to get the first effort and not giving in to each other.
Smooth, unexpectedly smooth! The Han army attacked the city wall at the first moment, and the defenders were slow to react and their lethality was low. After the Han army attacked the city wall, they quickly gained a foothold. Huang Zhong and Gan Ning had already rushed to the head of the city.
The veteran Huang Zhong took the lead with a big knife in his hand and slashed countless guards. His morale was high and his body was covered with the blood of the enemy. Gan Ning did not show weakness, the Spike halberd thrust from the left to the right, and the enemy troops fell one after another, scaring the enemy troops back again and again.
When Han Xuan led the surrounding guards to kill, many Han soldiers had already rushed to the wall. Soon, the tragic fight began.
On one side is the army with the "Chinese" character flag. Huang Zhong, who is under the banner, has a murderous look and pale hair, making him look old and strong. But Gan Ning threw away even the armor, and the muscles were as hard as steel, clinging to the upper body. Behind them was a large number of soldiers, each of them was bloodied and murderous.
On the other side is the army with the "Han" flag. The banner is Han Xuan, wearing silver armor, and his face is pale. The army behind him was like a castrated man, without any momentum.
The two sides met here, and the result can be imagined.
"Kill." Huang Zhong spit out an extremely cold word from his mouth.
"Kill." Han Xuan summoned the courage and spit out the word.
"Kill." Gan Ning rushed forward, and the cruel fight began again.
The fighting lasted only a quarter of an hour, and Han Xuan's army was quickly disintegrated in the charge of the Han army, trampling on each other, causing countless deaths and injuries.
Han Xuan saw that the situation was gone, hurriedly fled, was caught up by Gan Ning and ended his life with a halberd.
The battle at the head of Changsha ended with the death of Han Xuan. The "Han" flag fell on the ground, surrounded by blood stains, and the air was filled with an extremely strong smell of blood. The face was pale as paper, full of panic, and the frightened soldier was rushed to the corner by the Han soldiers.
A "Chinese" flag stands in the middle of the avenue. Huang Zhong and Gan Ning stood under the banner, welcoming the arrival of military commander Zhuge Liang.
"Military strategist, there are 300 dead and 600 injured in our army." Gan Ning reported the battle to Zhuge Liang.
"Everyone stepped up to rest and set off tomorrow to rescue Lingling." Zhuge Liang ordered without hesitation.
"No." Huang Zhong and Gan Ning answered, their eyes full of confidence.
Early the next morning, Zhuge Liang ordered General Huang Zhong to lead his army to rescue Lingling. Under the combined blows of Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, Bao Long was defeated across the board, almost annihilated, and fled back to Guiyang griefly with only a few hundred people. So far, Zhuge Liang has successfully completed the task assigned by Liu Xun.
Originally, Zhuge Liang wanted to lead the army to support Liu Xun, but Liu Xun replied that the war in Wuling was about to end, so that Zhuge Liang would train the soldiers and prepare for the attack on Guiyang. Although Zhuge Liang was worried about the war in Wuling, he knew that Liu Xun was a prudent person. Now that Liu Xun said that, he must be the winner.
Zhuge Liang’s prediction is correct, because of Shamoke’s refuge, the barbarian camp will soon be breached by Liu Xun...
