Han Shimou

The next day, all the departments of the Wen Army recharged their batteries, and Wen Han led the army to kill Nanzheng City overwhelmingly. (Release) Wenhan erected ladders on three sides, leaving only one at the south gate, and fired artillery on the other three sides.

Bang~~! !Bang~~! !Bang~~! ! !Bang bang~~! !

Huge cannon stones hit the whole city of Nanzheng violently.The soldiers and civilians of Nanzheng were all afraid.The three teams of soldiers and horses shouted to kill and shook the sky, moving violently.Zhao Yun led an army to attack the north gate, Zhang Liao led an army to attack the east gate, Pang De led an army to attack the west gate, and each general led his army to climb the ladder or attack from the bottom of the city.

Wearing golden armor, Zhang Lu rushed over the city wall of the North Gate. Zhang Lu won the hearts of the people in Hanzhong. This means to resist civil soldiers.

Wen Han saw that the resistance at the North Gate was the strongest, and the battle was fierce.So while teaching people to order Zhao Yun to take back the offensive, he divided his troops and rushed to the east and west gates.

Then he galloped his horse to the foot of the city, waved his whip and shouted at Zhang Lu, trying to cover Zhao Yun's division of troops.

"Zhang Gongqi, you are powerless, why didn't you come down earlier?!"

Zhang Lu saw that under the city, under the cover, the man with embroidered robes and silver armor, holding a gun and riding a horse, was the monarch Wen Han and Wen Bufan who commanded the army that invaded Hanzhong.Zhang Lu's eyes widened, his anger suddenly flared up, and he shouted back.

"Wen Bufan, you and I have never violated the well water, the two sides are in peace, why did you violate my Hanzhong realm!"

"Zhang Gongqi, why do you need to ask questions knowingly! You set up the five-meter cult in Hanzhong to confuse people's hearts, and you want to take over the land and become king. The imperial court wanted to get rid of you a long time ago, and now I have issued an order to lead the army to crusade!"

Wen Han yelled loudly, Zhang Lu was so angry that he yelled again.

"Wen Bufan, you don't have to play tricks here! No one in the world knows that today's court society is controlled by Cao thief, and the Holy One is controlled by him like a puppet! You have always worked with Cao thief, and this time must be in private You have made a deal that is not well known, you have obtained the imperial decree, and you have invaded Hanzhong under the pretense of your name!"

"Zhang Gongqi, don't forget that you hurt my grandfather last time! You have a personal enmity with me. Even if there is no order from the court this time, I will lead the army to attack sooner or later and take your dog's head to vent the hatred in my heart! !!"

Suddenly, Wen Han's expression changed, his face was full of hatred, and he shouted angrily.When Zhang Lu heard this, his demeanor changed suddenly, and he secretly said that Wen Bufan really came with revenge.At the same time, there was a bit of fear in my heart, thinking that I must not be defeated by this person, otherwise I will be abused to death by him!

Zhang Lu was about to reply with a cold face, but Wen Han had already pulled out his horse and left.But during the dialogue between Wen Han and Zhang Lu, Zhao Yun received Wen Han's order, and acted according to the plan, dividing his troops to the east and west gates.

When he was young, Zhang Lu heard reports from soldiers from the east and west gates that the battle was urgent, so he hoped that Zhang Lu would rush to guard it.Zhang Lu was powerless for a while, and he was afraid that if he left the north gate, the north gate would be attacked by force, so he was at a loss.

At the same time, Zhang Liao bravely climbed to the east gate of Nanzheng, the guard Zhang Wei urgently ordered his troops to block the attack, Zhang Liao held Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, slaughtered all directions, no one could stop him, went straight to Zhang Wei's place, and fought bravely.Seeing Zhang Liao's bravery, Zhang Wei was so frightened that his soul flew away, so he sent soldiers to the north gate to ask Zhang Lu for help.

On the other side, Pang De ran across the moat on a wooden bridge built by soldiers with wooden piles, and was fighting fiercely with Zhang Lu's soldiers inside the city gate.Yang Song was afraid that Pang De would kill the soldiers guarding the city gate from time to time, and the city gate would be attacked by the Wen army.Panicked, Yang Song also sent soldiers to seek help from Zhang Lu at the north gate.

"Urgent report!!! Zhang Wenyuan has climbed the ladder to kill above the east gate. The defenders of the east gate are hard to resist. I hope the lord will send troops to rescue him!"

As soon as Zhang Lu heard this, his face changed immediately, but he soon followed the report of the soldiers coming from another way.

"Urgent report!!! Pang Lingming has already rushed through the moat of the west gate, and is currently fighting with the gate guards. The west gate is in danger. I hope the lord will send troops to rescue him!"

Zhang Lu trembled suddenly, only then did he realize that Wen Jun was far stronger than he had imagined.Zhang Lu's face twitched again and again, and he roared.

"The north gate was also attacked by the other army! I don't have the energy to divide my troops to rescue it! Send me an order to order Zhang Wei and Yang Song to guard the city gate. If they are lost, I will never let you down!!!"

Zhang Lu yelled desperately, and the soldiers sent by Zhang Wei and Yang Song obediently retreated to return the favor.Zhang Wei and Yang Song heard that they could only force their soldiers to stop each other with their lives.

The two armies attacked and defended, and fought until the dark night. Wen Han did not want the army to be tired, so he ordered the horns to be blown to withdraw troops from the left and right, and Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Pound's troops were ordered to withdraw.Wen Junchao retreated slowly, and the north, east, and west gates of Nanzheng City were full of bones and flesh, bloody and thick.

Zhang Lu, Zhang Wei, Yang Song and the others felt relieved when they saw Wen's army retreating. Most of the soldiers in their various divisions looked bleak, and their eyes were full of fear.

That night, Zhang Lu saw that his power was extremely strong, and he knew that Nanzheng City would be difficult to defend, so he hurriedly gathered his subordinates and military forces to discuss.

"At the moment, the enemy's army is sharp and vigorous, with fierce offensives, and there are siege weapons such as cannon stones and ladders. I am afraid that Nanzheng City will be difficult to hold for many days. I want to abandon the city and go to Nanshan, and rush back to Bazhong. Get ready. What do you guys think?"

Zhang Wei heard the words, so he nodded yes, and then said in a dark voice with his eyes shining.

"If elder brother wants to abandon Nanzheng, why don't you set fire to the storehouse and treasury before you leave. Then there are details left behind, and rumors spread in the city, saying that this is Wen Bufan's disrespect for his master, infringing on the Holy Land, and therefore offending Tianwei. Take this as punishment In this way, the people in the city will inevitably resent Wen Bufan, and Wen Bufan won Nanzheng City, and he is walking on thin ice, and will be retaliated against by the people of Nanzheng at any time!"

After hearing this, Zhang Lu's eyes lit up, and he sneered.

"Hmph. Brother Wei's plan is brilliant. Wen Bufan has always respected and loved the people, and he will never be wary of the people in the city. If the people in the city succeed, they can save me from this serious trouble, and the current danger in Hanzhong will be easy. Solve it with ashes!"

"Your Majesty, please don't! We are ministers of the Han Dynasty, and the warehouses and government treasury are the property of the country. How can we burn them privately for our own selfishness, harming the people and harming the interests of the country!!!"

Yan Pu's expression changed drastically when he heard the words, and he quickly knelt down and begged for the truth.Zhang Lu frowned, feeling very displeased with Yan Pu's confrontation.Zhang Wei was at the side, with the corner of his mouth curled up, and said in a cold voice.

"In the early years of Hanzhong, it was desolate and poor. The people all suffered from famine. The imperial court never paid attention to the remoteness of Hanzhong. If it weren't for my brother, who would set up a five-meter Taoism here to help the people, Hanzhong would not be as prosperous and powerful as it is today! Now the people of Hanzhong respect My brother, I have long wanted to support my brother as king!

This time the imperial court didn't appreciate my brother's virtue and sent Na Wen Bufan to lead the army to attack.The Han Dynasty was unbenevolent first, even if we did unrighteous acts, we were forced by them! ! ! "

"What General Zhang said is absolutely true! The lord is famous in Hanzhong, and his benevolence is so high that anyone in Hanzhong who doesn't respect him should be the king! He is the king, and everyone in Hanzhong is the lord. If the lord wants to do anything, it depends on the lord alone. meaning!"

Yang Song had been secretly observing his words, and seeing that it was the right time to make fun of Zhang Lu, he quickly said flatteringly.Zhang Lu was overjoyed when he heard that, he opened his big red mouth and laughed.

"Hahahahaha! Good good!!! The words of the two of you are very close to my heart!!! My merits and virtues are overwhelming, and I will become the king of Hanzhong sooner or later. At that time, I will definitely reward you and the two of you!!"

"My lord~!"

Yan Pu's face became anxious, and he was about to remonstrate again.Unexpectedly, Zhang Lu suddenly became angry, and shouted loudly.

"Give me back!!!"

Yan Pu's eyes were bitter, and he was very polite, and retreated in shame and anger.After Zhang Lu retreated from Yan Pu, he discussed the previous plan with Zhang Wei and Yang Song.

It was the second watch of the night, and in Nanzheng City, a fire suddenly blazed up, and the fire spread to the sky.A raging fire broke out in the county mansions and granaries in the city, and the fire quickly spread to the houses. Many Nanzheng people woke up in the middle of the night and came out in a panic.At this moment, Zhang Lu led the army to suddenly open the south gate and flee towards Bazhong.

In the villages of Wenying not far away, the location of Nanzheng City was seen to be full of flames, and the soldiers of all ministries came to report to Wen Han.When Wen Han learned that Nanzheng City was on fire, he immediately thought that Zhang Lu must have burned the city and fled seeing that Nanzheng could not be defended.

"Zhang Gongqi, you are so insane!!! If I catch him today, I will cut you into pieces!!!!"

Wen Han stared wide-eyed, furious, and drank like hell.Tian Feng and Cheng Gongying rushed to remonstrate and taught Wen Han to send troops into the city to fight the fire.Wen Han acted according to the plan, so he ordered Pang De to guard the camp, Zhao Yun led a sergeant to guard the outside of the city to prevent Zhang Lu's army from attacking, and the rest of the troops rushed into Nanzheng to fight the fire.

The fire in Nanzheng burned until dawn, and the city was full of gunpowder smoke. Countless people in Nanzheng who had their homes burned by the fire cried bitterly. Wen Han comforted the people while preparing for the entry of soldiers and horses into the city.In the meantime, Wen Han heard that Nanzheng's granary had been burned down, and most of the stored grain had been burned. Fearing that the people in the city would have no food, he ordered Cheng Gongying to allocate military food in the army and did not provide relief for the time being.At the same time, he hurriedly sent people back to Chencang, ordering Zhong Yao to distribute food and supplies immediately.

For the people of Annan and Zheng, Wenhan even took care of the affairs and made arrangements for each.Unexpectedly, Zhang Lu's secret work in Nanzheng spread rumors in secret, saying that the recent fire in Nanzheng was caused by Wen Han's violation of the teacher and the Holy Land, so that the wrath of heaven punished him.Zhang Lu won the hearts of the people in Hanzhong, and the people blindly listened to him, thinking that this was the case, so they resented Wen Han a lot.

One day, Wen Han traveled to inspect the people's sentiments in Nanzheng, and traveled all the way.Suddenly, a few civilians who had been ambushing here rushed out with knives and rushed towards Wen Han.Wen Han was unprepared, but fortunately Zhao Yun reacted quickly and subdued all these commoners.After those common people were subdued, they still refused to give up and cursed Wen Han.

Although Wen Han was attacked by these people, he was not angry, and asked them repeatedly why they wanted to assassinate him.Those few common people shouted angrily, and at the same time told the rumors that Zhang Lu carefully spread.

After hearing this, Wen Han's face was cloudy and uncertain, and at the same time, he felt quite sad about the ignorance and blindness of these common people.These common people misbelieved the rumors and had no malicious intentions. Wen Han didn't want to punish them, so instead of explaining them, he ordered Zhao Yun to let them go home.
