The west wall is not far away.
Zhang Han lay prone on the ground and quietly looked at the dozens of soldiers remaining on the city wall.
He did not charge blindly. The refugees under his command were not strong in fighting ability. What they really relied on were the 150 forbidden troops.
We must minimize losses and hold on to the city wall after seizing it, waiting for the Huaiyang army to come and occupy it.
He looked up at the sky. Not far away from the bright moon, a huge cloud was gradually approaching.
When the moonlight was gradually blocked, the surroundings fell into darkness.
A rustling sound sounded.
The soldiers on the city wall glanced at the motionless lower part from time to time, and then focused entirely on the south city wall.
The sound of killing over there was really loud, and the fire lit up half of the southern city. There had never been such a fierce battle since the war began.
These people are all worried about whether Da Qin's follow-up reinforcements are coming.
At the beginning, Qu Jingzhao and his family said that as long as reinforcements arrived, they would be able to evacuate and wait for uprisings in other places.
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from under the city wall.
These people were so frightened that they trembled.
"Hey! Open the door?"
The soldiers hurriedly looked outside the city, but saw no one, and the voice came again.
Only then did they realize that the other party was close to the bottom of the city wall.
The soldiers subconsciously looked down.
But I saw a man shouting against the wall.
"Help! I fell from the south wall! I was almost hacked to death by those people!"
"Who is that! Lao You, please throw down the rope and let me get up."
"These people are crazy. They are attacking the city desperately. If we continue like this, we won't be able to hold on for much longer! Let's find a way to escape!"
The soldiers were stunned.
Is it that intense? But how did he manage to fall off the city wall without falling to death?
Before he could think clearly, the man urged again.
"Old You, hurry up! Don't be ungrateful, kid! I even blocked an arrow for you last time!"
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other, who is Lao You?
This news has attracted most of the soldiers, and they are also very eager to know how the battle in Nancheng is going.
But after all, he had military orders, so how could he really be let in?
Some wise man shouted.
"Lao You is not here, please tell me how the south city wall is doing now. If what you say is true, we will throw the rope!"
Zhang Han shouted angrily.
"You bastard! When you saved him, you said his life was mine! If you really need him, you can't even find anyone!"
"Don't think I'm stupid! You won't let me in after I finish talking."
"You go call Lao You, I'll tell you when he comes over!"
The soldiers on the wall frowned and looked at each other.
This person will cause chaos every three days. How do they know who Lao You is? They are not even familiar with some of the people around them.
At this moment, Zhang Han shouted again.
"Forget it! Never mind! I'll be dead when he comes! Who of you can pull me up! I'll give him all my wealth!"
Two of the soldiers looked down again and exclaimed.
"so much?"
Under the light of the fire, more than a dozen pieces of shining gold cakes came to life.
This sound startled other people, who also looked over.
Zhang Han raised his head and saw so many heads, and waved his left hand decisively.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The crossbow bolt that had been aimed for so long roared towards its target.
Except for a few who were lucky enough to escape, most of them screamed and fell down the city wall.
Immediately afterwards, the refugee forbidden army behind them no longer hid, and charged under the city wall.
When shouts of enemy attack were heard from above, dozens of hooks flew up.
The Imperial Guards climbed up at extremely fast speeds.
Some soldiers wanted to step forward and cut off the hook rope.
The crossbows in the distance were just sitting back and waiting, shooting each one as they approached.
When the imperial troops scaled the wall, they quickly cleared out everyone.
Zhang Han had already grabbed a hook and climbed up.
The Imperial Guard on the side asked curiously.
"Who is Lao You?"
Zhang Han replied without even looking at him.
"how could I know!"
Everyone suddenly became ashamed.
Zhang Han didn't care.
"Hurry up, two hundred refugees are blocking the north side! One hundred soldiers are blocking the south wall!"
"The rest of you come down with me and open the city gate!"
He turned around and looked at the refugees, worried.
"This is your only chance. If you want to save your loved ones, even if you die, you must hold on until the Huaiyang army comes!"
"Someone will definitely save your loved ones!"
Chang Lin knew that Zhang Han had left the least stressful side to them.
"Don't worry! When you see people coming from the north, we are dead!"
After saying that, he led two hundred refugees, put on the weapons and armor of the defenders, and rushed to the north.
Zhang Han looked at Chang Lin's back, showing a satisfied look, and then roared!
"Come down with me! The first person to open the city gate will be rewarded with ten gold coins! He will be awarded the title of Thousand Generals!"
Zhang Han took the lead, followed by the fifty-meter forbidden army and the remaining hundreds of refugees who were full of momentum.
The strong man, who was a head taller than ordinary people, dropped the sword in his hand, picked up a heavy ax not far away, and followed Zhang Han.
He lowered his head and went down the stairs, and as soon as he came out with a collision, he pushed away the enemies who came to support him.
Then he swung his heavy ax and struck it down, with the potential of one man blocking the way and ten thousand others unable to get away.
As a result, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army had to give way! Make room for him.
Zhang Han led his men to deal with the defenders behind the city gate, and left his men to open the city gate. When he was about to turn around to defend, his eyes widened when he saw this scene.
"What a strong man who can fight one against ten!"
…
South of the city.
The county guard's bloodshot eyes looked at the army that had nearly half of its casualties and remained silent.
The lieutenant's hands trembled.
"It's past midnight, and the censor should have entered the city!"
"Next, we can slow down our offensive."
Only then did Cheng on the side dare to speak out and cry.
"Twelve military formations, only less than 3,000 people retreated!"
"If this continues, the soldiers will really die!"
No one answered him, and no one present knew.
The Sheriff said with red eyes.
"No matter what! We have tried our best!"
"It is no longer possible to capture Shouchun. We can hold on as long as we can and let the captain withdraw!"
The lieutenant clenched his fists and sighed.
"In this case, we can only rely on the censor and the others!"
Everyone understands.
The censor only brought two hundred people with him. Even if he managed to get in, could he really find the opponent's core figures in a city with nearly a hundred thousand people?
They have no confidence.
Just when the county captain was about to give the order for the captain to withdraw and attack several military formations in the southeast corner.
To the northwest, a fire flickered uncertainly.
Circling a distance of several miles outside Shouchun City, they continued to approach the military formation.
Everyone saw it, and their spirits suddenly became tense.
Could it be that rebels from other cities came to support? This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.
Just when they were wide-eyed and defensive.
The pure black armor (zhou) was illuminated by the fire.
The loud shouts of the imperial guards gradually became clearer.
"Xicheng! It has been destroyed!"
"Censor's order! The Huaiyang army immediately divides its troops and attacks the west city! There must be no mistake!"
