After pouring out tens of thousands of arrows, the defenders on Mianzhu City must have really exhausted their strength.
Zhang Lujun's soldiers had already begun to climb up the ladder. They were about to reach the top of the city, but they still did not encounter any obstruction!
There seemed to be no defenders left in Mianzhu City, and the entire city defense was ineffective!
"Hahaha, soldiers, the enemy is too tired to hold up their weapons!"
"Quick! Press up and take down Mianzhu in one go!"
The previous inhibitions were swept away, and Zhang Wei excitedly waved his sword and kept urging the attack.
Zhang Lu looked forward, the haze on his face gradually disappeared, and a smile gradually filled his face.
"Second brother, it seems that Mianzhu City belongs to us!"
Zhang Wei nodded heavily, then raised his hands to congratulate Zhang Lu.
"Congratulations, brother, you will be able to take control of Guanghan again soon!"
Zhang Lu gently stroked his beard, a look of pride rising from his heart.
"Second brother, look! If the whole army doesn't press forward, how can we exhaust the energy of the defenders? Hahaha!"
For this moment, no matter how many casualties there were before, it was all worth it!
"The eldest brother is still far-sighted, and the younger brother is out of reach!"
Zhang Lu nodded slightly and looked behind him. There was still an army of 10,000 standing neatly behind him.
These ten thousand people are all soldiers under Zhang Lu’s command!
In other words, of the tens of thousands of people under Mianzhu City, only five thousand were under Zhang Lu!
Therefore, if Mianzhu can be captured, no matter how many casualties there are, it is acceptable!
"Second brother, it seems that there is no need for the ten thousand of us to mobilize. Mianzhu City is bound to be won!"
"Brother is wise!"
Just as the Zhang and Lu brothers were celebrating their imminent capture of Mianzhu City, another incident happened on the city wall.
More than a dozen cauldrons suddenly appeared on the battlements.
Every big pot is steaming, and it's facing the bottom of the ladder!
The soldiers who were climbing on the ladder all stopped, their eyes full of fear, and the cauldron on their heads made their livers and gallbladders burst!
Gulu. . .
Whether it was the sound of soldiers swallowing saliva or the sound of boiling in a cauldron, the grunting sound spread throughout the battlefield!
Time seemed to have stopped. The attacking party stopped attacking, and the defending party did not make any move!
But this is a battlefield after all, and time will never stand still. Finally, a roar broke the entire scene!
"fall!"
A roar came from the city, and the cauldron began to tilt gradually, and then the hot oil poured down!
"..."
The soldier at the top of the ladder was scalded to death without making a single cry!
"ah...!"
"It's burning me to death!"
"Help!"
Not only did the hot oil wreak havoc on the soldiers, but even the ladder could not withstand such a high temperature and began to burn violently!
The flaming ladder began to break, and the soldiers on the ladder fell one after another, all hitting their companions!
After that, wherever the hot oil passed, they all screamed violently, and many soldiers were ignited with flames!
The soldiers who were still waiting to climb under the ladder were the most miserable. Most of them were burned by hot oil and began to roll around on the ground. Their cries were heart-breaking!
"ah....!"
There were screams everywhere under Mianzhu City, which greatly stimulated the spirits of other soldiers and made them retreat back.
These dozens of pots of hot oil scalded at least a thousand people to death and injured countless others!
Zhang Lujun's soldiers have begun to retreat, and no one dares to stay under the city!
The soldiers who were still rolling on the ground because of the pain, the soldiers who lit the fire and ran around, the soldiers who had been wrapped in flames and burned to black charcoal, all stimulated the spirit of everyone in Zhang Lujun!
The sudden change on the city wall happened in the blink of an eye, and the Zhang and Lu brothers were so shocked that they didn't even react!
The look of joy and pride even stayed on the faces of the two brothers!
"Brother..."
Zhang Wei swallowed unconsciously and made a gurgling sound!
The impact on the optic nerve this time was really too great!
"Second brother, do we still have a ladder?"
Zhang Lu bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself to calm down.
Although the scene in front of him was shocking, it also made Zhang Lu understand one thing!
This should be the last resort for Mianzhu City!
"Yes, there are still twenty ladders, all in the hands of our own soldiers..."
"Brother, this hot oil..."
Zhang Wei once again looked at the tragic scene below the city, and then turned to look at the 10,000 soldiers under his command. The meaning was already very obvious.
How many times can Huang Zhong be burned by this army of 10,000 people?
"No, I guess Huang Zhong only has this chance to attack with hot oil! Let's not talk about whether we can collect the oil. Just heating it will take a long time! We must seize this opportunity and no longer give Huang Zhong any resistance. Opportunity!"
Zhang Wei was awakened by Zhang Lu's words and secretly cursed himself for being scared out of his wits by the hot oil!
"That's right! He has never used hot oil before, and it seems he has no choice but to do so today!"
"Brother, the soldiers in front seem to be frightened. I'm afraid they don't have the courage to attack the city..."
The soldiers under Mianzhu City have retreated to a distance of fifty steps, and are still retreating at this moment. The fear in their hearts is very obvious!
"It doesn't matter, this is human nature, let our soldiers go!"
Zhang Wei looked at him sideways, Zhang Luneng seemed to be willing to give this order!
If these 10,000 people are not defeated or even defeated, Brother Zhang and Lu will definitely die!
"Brother..."
"Stop talking nonsense and obey orders!"
Zhang Lu glared at Zhang Wei and scolded him sternly.
At this moment, Zhang Lu wants to compete with Huang Zhong for time. He wants to seize the gap in the city defense and capture Mianzhu in one go!
"As you command!"
Zhang Wei rode his horse and ran to the rear. These ten thousand people were at the back, and he wanted to personally give the order.
"Liu Zhang, you and I are at odds with each other!"
Zhang Lu squeezed out these words through his teeth to express his hatred for Liu Zhang.
Guanghan County is not wealthy to begin with. Its population and cultivated land are much worse than those of Shu County and Ba County. Even Jianwei County can be compared with Guanghan County.
Zhang Lu chose Guanghan County simply because the Prefectural Mufu Office was in Mianzhu, and he wanted to use the influence of the Prefectural Mufu Office to encroach on the entire Yizhou.
It's a pity that before Zhang Lu's plan even started, Liu Zhang came out of nowhere!
Instead of staying in Luoyang, Liu Zhang went to Hanzhong and applied for the position of Yizhou Shepherd. This completely disrupted all Zhang Lu's plans!
At this moment, even if Mianzhu is conquered and Guanghan County is taken over again, it will still be a war-torn Guanghan County!
If Zhang Lu wants to annex Yizhou again, it may take ten more years!
"Brother, you can attack!"
At this time, Zhang Wei had already led his 10,000 troops forward, and the defenders who had previously attacked Mianzhu City had also retreated. Whether to attack or not depends on Zhang Lu's order.
Zhang Lu slowly drew out his sword, then raised it high into the air. He took a deep breath and wanted to roar out two words to vent his resentment.
But these two words were not shouted out, they were held in the heart.
Because the gate of Mianzhu City suddenly opened. . .
