"The Han army is surrounded by thousands of people, but I remain unmoved! Haha" Sun Xia laughed in Nanyang City. The Han army is still called elite, that's all. Fortunately, both Zhang Mancheng and Han Zhong went out to rob the camp, so he could If he had mastered the military and political power in Nanyang, he might have beaten these soldiers away long ago! After drinking some wine, Sun Xia became more and more beautiful. He felt more and more like he was the reincarnation of Sun Wu. He almost wanted to go out and fight!
"General, we don't have much food and grass!" Just when Sun Xia was about to go to heaven, the soldier's words brought him back to reality!
"What? There's not much anymore? Didn't you just rob some from the Han army a few days ago?" Sun Xiajiu was so frightened that he woke up. "Uncle, if there is no food, how can we still fight? The job of robbing a camp It depends on luck. After you succeed once, if you try again, you will lose your life!"
"Yes, the food and grass can last for about three days."
"I know, by the way, is there any news about Generals Zhang and Han?"
"No, there has been no news. Except for the supplies sent back last time, there is no news!"
"Well, I got it, let's get down." Sun Xia rubbed his head and felt a headache. Where on earth did these two people go? If someone hadn't robbed the camp from time to time, I would have thought they had run away! Fortunately, having them to contain me outside can make my side a little more stable, and there won't be any night battles or the like, otherwise the city won't be able to be defended! At this time, Sun Xia suddenly missed these two generals very much, "You have to live well and control the army for me so that I can escape!"
The two people that Sun Xia missed so much were quietly ambushing near Runan City at this time, planning to attack the city in one fell swoop, "Zhang Shuai, actually we can not attack the city first. You see, the Runan City Wall is high and thick. If we can't attack, why don't we loot it, how about we go to Dongjun or Yingchuan and fight back and forth with the Han army?" Han Zhong said
"The idea is good, but along the way we have robbed many aristocratic families but not many things. We can't keep doing this. We won't be able to explain to these tribesmen at that time. We'd better capture one or two cities and summon the nearby people. Let's work together with the believers! If that doesn't work then, let's have another golden cicada escape from its shell. Besides, if we really occupy Runan, and Peng Tuo, Bocai will become a tripartite force, we can take care of each other, and threaten the Han army attacking Nanyang from behind! It's like killing multiple birds with one stone!" Zhang Mancheng is not a foolhardy person. In fact, he has always been the kind of person who uses his brain. Sometimes he would rather work more than use weapons because his physical skills are ordinary. !
"The general is right, I will obey the general's orders!" Han Zhong said
"Okay! With the help of General Han, great things can be accomplished. I hope Sun Xia can persist for a few more days. After all, this person still has real talent and learning!" Zhang Mancheng said with some pity,
"Yes, it's just that this person is unscrupulous and arrogant. I'm afraid something will go wrong!" Han Zhong was also a little regretful, otherwise he would have taken him with him this time. With him here, there would be many things done!
"Stop talking about it, we will launch an attack at dawn tomorrow when the city gates are open and there are many people," Zhang Mancheng said.
"Yes, General"
"General Zhu, what do you think we will do next?" Huangfu Chong said to Zhu Jun helplessly. After all, this fight has been going on for four or five days. It was originally intended to be a surprise attack, but now that we are dragged here, the gains outweigh the losses. , if there is another fire in the backyard, it will be attacked from both sides!
"We can only fight quickly, otherwise General Lu Zhi will have to die in vain!" Zhu Jun sighed. Without military merit, writing a letter to Lu Zhi and saying good things would only make him angry!
"Now the morale of Nanyang City is high, and it can't be captured for a while. The most annoying thing is that Zhang Mancheng and Han Zhong have been hiding in the dark with people out of the city, causing trouble every day without fighting at all!" Huangfu Chong became angry when he said this , If I hadn’t hidden some selfish motives, Nanyang City would have been conquered long ago, and now I feel a little regretful!
"Haha, I have sent people to find out clearly in the past few days. There is no place to hide the army nearby, so they may be hiding in the distance. Also, I have explored the nearby terrain. There is no place near your and my camp. Set up an ambush and wait for them to come again, then use the ambush to kill them!" Zhu Jun said
"Oh! I tried it, but they don't know how to fight at all. Every time they start beating gongs and drums when they are far away! It's very annoying!" Huangfu Chongdao
"From now on, you and I will besiege Nanyang City with our army, so that they can be forced to come. Then we will get rid of these rats first," Zhu Jun said
"Your Majesty, please force them to fight us!" Huangfu Chongzhen wanted to give Zhu Jun a thumbs up, "But do we also have to be on guard against the people in the city? If they attack from inside and outside, our situation will be a bit bad. After all, Zhang Mancheng and others bring more than 20,000 people with them!"
"Yeah! That makes sense. In this case, let Liu Bei and Sun Jian attack the city day and night. Even if they don't fight, they will still have to keep an eye on the Yellow Turban Army in the city! If we keep loose on the outside and tight on the inside, we will force people from outside to come to us!" Zhu Jun agreed!
"Well, yes! Try to break the city as soon as possible!"
"Kill!" Liu Guanzhang, as the vanguard of the siege, was attacking with great fanfare this time. The Han army surrounded Nanyang City. From morning to night, they attacked from time to time. Although they were feints every time, they gave Sun Xia The Yellow Turban Army was under great pressure. Now the Yellow Turban Army experienced the life of the Han Army a few days ago. It was really unsettled for anything they did. They were always on tenterhooks for fear of the Han Army attacking the city.
"My lord, where are Zhang Mancheng and Han Zhong? Why didn't you contain them?" Sun Xia cursed for the first time. These two people are so unreliable. What about the promised internal and external integration? Even if the Han army is too powerful to attack now, you can just circle around a few times and spread out your troops! If I had known earlier, I might as well have taken the opportunity to escape today. Now it's great, I can't go anywhere! The nigger below the city actually shouted that he wanted to massacre the city. Now he didn't dare to surrender!
"I have been given the order. If you dare to attack the city, give me a severe beating!" Sun Xia said to the soldiers around him.
"It's the general!"
"Quick, get me a pot and heat some oil. Even if you don't have oil, you can boil water. If the Han army dares to block the city again, grandpa, I will reward them with something hot!"
"Brother, this is not the way to go. If these two adults had marched together, they would have defeated us long ago!" Zhang Fei muttered.
"Third brother, you have said it dozens of times, so stop saying it and think of ways to attack the city!"
"Is there any way? It's obvious that we just let us waste it here? Just waste it, it's time to make a big show!" Zhang Fei said lukewarmly
"Brother, how about I lead my troops up there and try?" Guan Yu said, looking at the Yellow Turban Army on the wall in the distance.
"Wait a minute and see what other plans the two generals have! If we really want to attack the city, you two will kill me!"
"Come on, big brother, just watch it! This city wall is already carrying a lot of weight. If Sun Xia puts anything on it, it will collapse!" Zhang Fei said
"Really?" Liu Bei said happily
"That's right, Sun Xia has been boiling water and oil on the city wall. I'm afraid the city wall won't last long. If he tests it a few times, there will be damage where he splashes water!" Guan Yu said
"Okay, let's test it a few times. If someone comes, hurry up and notify General Sun Jian to attack the city!" Liu Bei said loudly.
"Kill! Whoever breaks the city gate first will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!" The Han army roared and charged forward, putting great pressure on the defenders. Sun Jian was brave and took the lead. He almost climbed onto the city wall many times.
"Pour me water, pour oil!" Sun Xia shouted back and forth, "Kill me, don't let a Han army come in. If the Han army comes in, they will massacre the city! Hold on, or they will all die!"
I saw arrows on Nanyang City like locusts, mixed with some stones, wood, and even some pots and pans! They all hit the Han army head-on and face-to-face. After finally escaping these people who arrived at the city, they had to take a hot bath again! Suddenly there were screams everywhere.
"Sir, charge at me!" Zhang Fei used his spear to fly away a piece of wood and shouted back. At the same time, the Han army's crossbowmen fired at random at the city wall, suppressing the attack on the city wall. Let Zhang Fei and others lead many Han troops to rush across the moat and reach the city gate.
"Bump it away, hurry up!" Zhang Fei shouted, and on the other side, Sun Jian also rushed to the city gate under cover, waving his sword to clear the place, allowing the siege vehicles behind to break through the gate!
"General, what should I do? The gate can't hold it?" someone said to Sun Xia.
"Don't worry, there is a wall behind the gate! They can't get in, hehe! There is a pit behind the wall. It depends on who is unlucky!" Sun Xia suddenly smiled sinisterly.
"The general is still smart! What should we do with these soldiers who are attacking the city?" one person said, pointing to more and more people climbing the ladders.
"Wait for them to come more, then throw torches under the city. Now, just pour oil and water! I'll treat you to meat after we win," Sun Xia ordered.
"Boom!" Zhang Fei finally broke through the city gate and took the lead to rush in, almost killing himself. "Damn it, what bastard built a wall here!" At the same time, he was trembling in his heart. Fortunately, it wasn't a trap, otherwise my life would have been decided here today! "Smash it open for me!" As he said this, Zhang Fei turned his weapon and took the lead in smashing it. The sound of clanging iron could be heard on the battlefield. Those who didn't know thought Zhang Fei was forging weapons.
"This Sun Xia is really a weirdo!" Guan Yu said to Liu Bei with a wry smile.
"..." Liu Bei was also speechless, "Second brother, you'd better hurry up and call third brother and prepare to set off!"
"Wow!" Sun Jian threw the big knife away and spat fiercely, "What the hell, what the hell..." Then came the Three-Character Classic! "Let's go, fight out, prepare to climb the city." Even Huangfu Chong and Zhu Jun in the rear army looked helpless. They finally made up their minds to attack the city gate, and they were drunk after encountering such a living treasure!
"Go up" More and more Han troops climbed up the city wall, and it seemed that they could no longer hold it. Liu Bei and others showed victory smiles. It seemed that they were going to break the city today. "Kill!" Suddenly, there were shouts of killing from the rear of the Han army, which made Liu Bei confused. Is this man really coming back? Zhu Jun and Huangfu Chong showed a mysterious smile, "Notify the ambush troops, wait for the Yellow Turban Army to kill, and then kill them out for me."
"Kill!" The 10,000 yellow scarf troops in the rear shouted to kill the Han army. Zhu Jun immediately changed the rear team to the front team, and Huangfu Chong encircled and annihilated them according to the plan. "Why are there only 10,000 people? Where are the others? Let me know quickly. Go down and get half of the ambush troops out!" After fighting for a while, he realized that something was wrong, and Zhu Jun quickly gave the order.
At this time, Sun Xia on the top of the city also saw that something was wrong, "Damn it, Zhang Mancheng and Han Zhong really sold me! These ten thousand people are useless. It seems that I have to find a way to survive!"
"General, I can't hold it anymore. If there weren't reinforcements behind me, the Han army would have climbed up!" A soldier came to report. Sun Xia quickly looked into the distance. The Yellow Turban Army suddenly appeared from behind, which stalled the Han army's offensive. , but it doesn't help, the city wall is still in danger! Moreover, after the initial panic, the Han army had effectively resisted the Yellow Turban Army. In a regular face-to-face battle on this land, it was not necessary to think about it. The Yellow Turban Army behind was finished. Thinking of this, Sun Xia shouted, "Set fire and throw torches."
"Ah! Run!" Dozens of torches were thrown down from the city wall. There was hot water and hot oil all under the city wall. Now the oil was all on fire, and it was flowing with the water. Those wooden ladders were instantly destroyed. The fire was burning, and the fire was raging. Many Han soldiers wore wooden armor, and even their weapons were made of wood! This time they were really struggling to put out the fire. The Han troops under the city were surrounded by fire before they could run away. Many people were either burned to death or scalded to death or smoked to death, and many fell into the river and drowned. For a moment, there were screams everywhere, and there was even a smell of meat! Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others ran out of the fire ring with pale faces. Guan Yu's beard was burnt a lot, and Zhang Fei's face became even darker! Several people's expressions were ugly. I didn't expect this cheating Sun Xia to have such cruel tricks. They were all living people. It was so cruel to be burned alive like this!
"Hmph!" Looking at the raging fire in the distance, Huangfu Chong and Zhu Jun also snorted coldly, "Kill all the Yellow Turbans who came to attack!"
After a day of fierce fighting, both sides suffered numerous casualties. Looking at the burned soldiers, Guan Yu felt the cruelty of war for the first time, and he became even more disgusted with war in his heart! At the same time, he blamed himself for not knowing the art of war. If he could use troops, he would not have lost so many people in vain! "Second brother, I have found you!" Zhang Fei's words interrupted Guan Yu's thoughts!
"Oh, third brother! What's the matter?"
"General Huangfu summoned us, maybe there is some arrangement!"
"Okay! Let's go!"
Waiting for Liu Guanzhang, Sun Jian and others to arrive at Huangfu Chong's camp, they saw Zhu Jun and Huangfu Chong studying the terrain of Nanyang! Several people looked at each other and saluted together.
"No, no, I'm here today because I want to discuss with you and break the city as soon as possible!" Zhu Jun said
"General, now we have lost more than half of our troops and horses. It will be disadvantageous to continue fighting!" Sun Jiandao
"Yes, general, the enemy is now outnumbered and we are outnumbered, and the enemy's army is geographically advantageous. The situation is not good for our army!" Liu Bei also said
"Haha, there are strange changes in the use of troops, how can we stick to the right time and place? Don't you think that soldiers are more valuable than more elites? Now that Sun Xia has just begun to march in the city, the mental pressure of all the Yellow Turban Army is much greater than ours! Now on the city wall Most of them are wood, and there is even a lot of butter to defend the city. Haha, Sun Xia can use fire, so can we! Then we can break it all together!" Huangfu Chong said with a smile.
"The fire is on the city wall, how can we attack the city?" Sun Jian asked, after all, the city gates were blocked by the Yellow Turban Army!
"Haha, General Sun doesn't know something. This city wall has been severely damaged by water and fire during the day. If it is burned again tonight, the alternation of cold and heat may cause it to collapse!" Liu Bei said to Sun Jian with a smile.
"That's it! The general's plan is brilliant!" Sun Jian quickly flattered Huangfu Chong.
"Haha, we still need many generals to defeat the enemy. Please go back to camp and prepare!"
"Yes!" A few people saluted and left. They followed Huangfu Chong's instructions to stab more straw men and prepare wooden arrows. It happened to be a coincidence. Maybe God was worried for them. That night, a strong wind suddenly blew and the city wall was blown over. Several large pots filled with oil were put on, and the hot oil was poured directly into the city. The strong wind roared, blowing up the dust all over the sky. The Yellow Turban Army guarding the city was slapped in the face by the sand and stone, and they could not open their eyes! Many burnt corpses were scattered around, the disgusting smell spread to the city, and many people couldn't help but retched!
"Be careful with your defense, don't let the Han army sneak attack," Sun Xia told him.
"General Sun, something is not good. If this strong wind brings heavy rain, are our city walls likely to collapse?"
"Let's talk about it then. If there is really heavy rain, the Han army will not be able to attack. Then we will find an opportunity to withdraw!" Sun Xia said impatiently
"Fire the arrows!" Zhang Fei's loud shout rang out among the Han army, like a thunderstorm in the middle of the night. Many people trembled in fright and cursed in their hearts, "Damn it, you scared me, this black Why does he have such a loud voice? He doesn’t look like someone with a loud voice?” Although many people murmured in various ways, they were unambiguous in their hands. Rows of rockets were fired into the city to catch the strong wind. Although there were quite a few The rockets were blown out, but their range increased a lot, and some always landed in the city with flames. Nanyang City is not a big city. Most of the buildings are thatched houses, which can catch fire. In addition, the Han army threw many wine jars into the city, which are prone to explosion and combustion. Not long after, a fire broke out on the city wall. The fire took advantage of the wind, and the wind helped the fire. With the strong wind, the fire quickly spread into the city.
"Hurry up and put out the fire, hurry up!" Sun Xia was really anxious this time. He blocked all the city gates. If it really caught fire all the way, he would have no choice but to be burned alive. Many people would not have time to run away. , was entangled in fire, and all of a sudden the entire Nanyang City turned into a purgatory of fire!
"General, we can't be saved. The wind is too strong. You'd better run away!" The soldier came to report in disgrace.
"Run, where are you going? There are troops everywhere outside the city!"
"North Gate, the fire is burning in the south. The south wind is very strong. You can only run to the north. As long as you rush out, you have a chance to survive!" someone said
"Okay! Rush to the north gate!" Sun Xia shouted as he led his people away. Many people in the city also fled for their lives at this time. Whether it was the Han army or the Yellow Turban Army, whoever occupied the city would fight with them. It's irrelevant, but this fire is a deadly thing. No matter how much you don't care, you can't burn it alive! More and more people are rushing towards the north gate. There are many people jumping over the wall and jumping off the building. As long as they run out, they have a chance to survive.
"Uncle, you should leave a back door!" Sun Xia regretted again, "Open the city wall quickly!" After many collisions, an exit was finally opened. Everyone rushed forward and squeezed forward. There were many Trample those who are trampled to death! "Everyone line up for me and move forward in order! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" Sun Xia was now at the exit and shouted loudly. At this time, he saw the hope of survival. Sun Xia regained some calmness and knew that outside the city There must be an ambush. If they rush out in a swarm, they will die. As long as you have a little bit of formation, you might be able to resist it and increase your chance of survival! But there are too many people, and they are just trying to escape. How can anyone listen to his orders? Besides, they are just fooling around and forming a hammer team! The Yellow Turban Army and the people rushed out in a swarm. After all, the fire spread too fast, and it was clearly coming to the north city!
"Let's go!" Even Sun Xia was no longer calm and rushed out quickly, because thick smoke was flying toward the exit. If he didn't leave, he might be smoked to death! At this time, many people experienced what happened to the Han army during the day and enjoyed the care of the God of Fire. They really screamed and smelled of meat, and the mutilated limbs and dead people were everywhere! Many Han soldiers who saw it turned pale and kept retching. Only Zhang Fei said, "It smells so good!" The soldiers nearby couldn't bear it anymore and started to vomit!
"Kill!" Not far from the city wall, Sun Xia's army encountered an attack. Sun Jian led Huang Gai and others to kill the Yellow Turban Army directly. The Yellow Turban Army who had just rushed out saw the hope of survival. How could they be captured without mercy? They were all trying their best. Rushing forward, many people rushed out of Sun Jian's encirclement. "Run!" Sun Xia led his men to flee far away, but Sun Jian did not pursue them, but just killed the Yellow Turban Army there. "Leave no one alive, kill them!" Sun Jian was so brave that he finally came out of the suffocation he had been holding in for many days. "Haha, what a pleasure!" Huang Gai waved his whips and took away the entire Yellow Turban Army, "Kill them all, kill them all. These bastards, avenge your dead brothers!" The Han army became more and more brave, but more and more Yellow Turban troops came out, and many people still escaped!
"Let's go!" Sun Xia disguised himself as a soldier and hid among the soldiers to escape. Unfortunately, he missed something. Even though he was disguised as a soldier, he was still protected by soldiers!
"Huh?" Guan Yufeng opened his eyes in the distance and saw the clues. Originally, he couldn't bear to kill so many people. After all, we all have the same ancestors and are descendants of Yan and Huang. But this war has to rely on killing to solve the problem. Killing the general as soon as possible can reduce the killing and end the war! Guan Yu shouted "Kill!"
Sun Xia finally rushed out and looked at the burning Nanyang City behind him. He just breathed a sigh of relief and the people around him also relaxed their vigilance. Suddenly, there was a killing sound, which scared everyone! Before Sun Xia could react, he saw a red-faced man with wide-open phoenix eyes, wearing a suit of armor and looking majestic. He looked like a god descending to earth. Everyone was stunned! "Poof!" Guan Yu slashed his head with a knife and shouted, "I will not kill anyone who surrenders!" I don't know who threw the weapon first, and everyone surrendered to Guan Yu's account.
The fire burned for a long time, and it can be said that the entire Nanyang City was basically destroyed. Fortunately, most of the people escaped. Except for those who fought to the death, everyone else surrendered. After the Han army reorganized, the surrendered soldiers were collected, and more than 50,000 people were obtained. people. Zhu Jun and Huang Fuchong took the opportunity to write a letter expressing their intention to regain Nanyang, and at the same time exonerate Lu Zhi. Before the prison car arrived in Luoyang, Lu Zhi was released, his official position was restored, and he still returned to Jizhou to lead the war!
"Seize the time to rest, train the soldiers, and send troops to Yingchuan in three days!" Zhu Jun ordered
"Sir!" Liu Bei came to say goodbye. Because of Lu Zhi's relationship, he was going back to Jizhou. In this battle of Nanyang, everyone knew that it was Liu Bei's subordinate Guan Yu who killed Sun Xia, which made Liu Guan and Zhang famous! Watching Liu Bei go away, Zhu Jun couldn't help but sigh, "Lian Po is old, it's time for these young people to show up. Wentai, you are the vanguard officer. We will set off tomorrow to Yingchuan!"
"Yes, general!" Sun Jian's eyes were shining, and he didn't know what he was thinking!
