Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 898

A round of red sun rises slowly, and the light of the morning sun pours down on the earth.

Boom boom boom boom! ! ! ! !

The sound of mighty war drums resounded from outside Qieran City, covering Qieran like huge waves overlapping each other.

This kind of momentum was unheard of by the people of Lancheng. From the soldiers on the top of the city to the old and weak women and children in the city, everyone seemed to be trembling. Even Zhu Bao of the county guard's mansion was a little bit shocked.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in this dark place?"

"What a powerful war drum sound, at least hundreds of war drums can make such a sound!"

"so horrible!"

"Can we really stop it?"

"What should I do?"

"They are going to attack, what should we do?"

Whether it is the people in the city or the guards on the top of the city, at this moment, there is a heart of fear.

"What time is it?"

Huang Zhongce stepped forward immediately, looking at Qilancheng in front of the costume, and asked in a low voice.

A soldier next to him took out his pocket watch and looked at it: "Report to the general, it's already three o'clock!"

"Blow the horn!"

Huang Zhong slowly pulled out the command sword at his waist, and said loudly: "Attack!"

"woo woo woo woo!!!!"

The horn sounded.

"attack!"

Zhang Ren on the front line personally led the army, and the front of the soldiers pointed directly at the city gate.

"Archer!"

"shoot!"

"Push up the ballista, ready, shoot!"

"The second round of bow and arrow coverage!"

"Come again!"

The Dongzhou Army is the main force of the Shepherd Army. At the beginning, there were tens of thousands of troops. Later, the elites were retained, and the rulings were ordinary young and strong. Now, all the remaining elites are veterans. In addition, Zhang Ren's training is good, and they cooperate with each other. Very tacitly, in the first wave of attack, a covering blow was formed between the bow and crossbow.

"Block!"

"Get down!"

"Raise your shield!"

"Find cover!"

On the top of the city, seeing the dense rain of arrows, everyone panicked.

The poor one, although some civil strife, lacks a large-scale bow and arrow attack mode. It is not easy to make a bow and arrow. They have never heard of such a large-scale arrow rain, and they are a little scared.

"One more round!"

Zhang Ren's eyes were as bright as lightning. He saw that the people on the top of the city had no experience in parrying against such bows and arrows. The first wave had obviously injured many people, so they had to make persistent efforts.

"Archer, go!"

"Fire arrows!"

"Quickly wind up the bed crossbow, let's shoot for the second round!"

The second wave of coverage attacks began quickly.

"Barbarian king, this shepherd army is too extravagant, wasting so many bows and arrows, if we have so many bows and arrows...!" The Wuxi barbarian army behind the formation was a little horrified when they saw this scene. Everyone has bows and arrows, but With such a large-scale coverage, Wuximan will definitely not be able to show it.

"This is the war of the Central Plains!"

Shamoke said in a low voice: "The barbarians and the Han have fought countless wars, but we can only fight from the flanks and never dare to fight head-on. The most important point is that whether it is weapons or armor or long-range bows and arrows , are far from rushing them!"

This is a fact, a fact that must be recognized. The barbarians hide in the deep mountains and wild forests. No matter their weapons or equipment, they are very backward. Some people even use wooden weapons, but they don’t know that the world has developed so that they recognize not coming out.

"Second Battalion, Third Battalion!"

"exist!"

"Under the cover of bows and arrows, attack!"

"promise!"

The captain of the two battalions took the order and left.

dong dong dong! ! ! !

The sound of the drums to help out became louder.

"Jinglan car, roll it out!"

"Up the ladder!"

"Rush over!"

The war began to enter a state of razor sharpness.

"Shoot them down!"

"Throw stones!"

"Smash them to death!"

"Pour tung oil!"

It is true that there were a lot of casualties on the top of the city, but the Zangzhang soldiers were not just for display, they still had strength. The few generals Zhu Baoai had some organizational skills, and they quickly organized a counterattack.

Moreover, for this battle, Zhu Bao searched almost the entire Zangzang in Qilan City, storing a lot of strategic materials, especially the city defense equipment, rolling logs, stones, tung oil, etc. Ship it up below.

The battle lasted for nearly four hours.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Zhang Ren raised his head to look at the sky, then looked at the time on his pocket watch, his eyes swept away, the whole day of storming, the morale of the surrounding soldiers, if they can't attack for a long time, the morale will inevitably drop. Take it easy.

"Where's Shamoko?"

Zhang Ren asked suddenly.

"Behind!" replied the soldier.

"Let him come and meet me immediately!"

"promise!"

Sha Moke soon rode over and bowed his hands in the courtesy of a Han: "See you, General Zhang Zhonglang!"

"Barbarian King, our soldiers have been exhausted after a day of storming, and need to take a rest, but this battle has already oppressively pressed the enemy's troops on the top of the city. If they withdraw, it will restore their morale, so I hope , you barbarian army can attack instead of us, attack Qilan City at night, harass them and not let them rest, wait for us to rest overnight, and launch a general attack tomorrow, breaking through Qilan City in one fell swoop!"

Zhang Ren said in a deep voice.

"can!"

Sha Moke said: "It's General Zhang Zhonglang, our barbarian army doesn't have much experience in siege, I have also seen your attack, your attack is orderly, I know your mother's generals are all trained, I I hope you can send some generals to assist us in our attack!"

"no problem!"

Zhang Ren smiled.

For the first time, he felt that Sha Moke was very smart. He stole his teacher on the battlefield, and he could speak so openly. This was not just a studiousness, but a shameless studiousness.

"Is it replaced?"

At night, the battle was still going on. Standing on the lonely mountain, Huang Zhong stared at the front. Although he couldn't see clearly, the sound was not right. It should be the barbarian army attacking.

"Report to the general, General Zhang Ren Zhonglang is back!"

"Let him in!"

"promise!"

Zhang Ren strode in, took off his helmet, and said: "General, Lancheng's perseverance cannot be underestimated. The soldiers who died in today's battle were only eleven or twelve years old. The fact that their main force hasn't been pulled up yet is enough to show that they will stick to it to the end!"

"It's a bit sinful!"

Huang Zhong paced back and forth: "My lord often says that population is the foundation of development, and the population is small in the first place. After this battle, most of the young and strong will be lost here. What a nuisance!"

"I have to think of a way!"

Zhang Ren nodded: "If things go on like this, I can guarantee that there will be no one on the top of the city who can survive. Once they really get angry and kill red eyes, we won't look at how old these young people are on the battlefield. The ones who should be killed are Will be beheaded!"

"Now I can only watch Lei Hu's!"

Huang Zhong raised his head and looked at the front: "If Lei Hu can break through smoothly, and while they are not paying attention, he will kill Zhu Bao with a thunder strike, and this battle will end as soon as possible!"

"I don't doubt the combat effectiveness of the Zhanhu Camp, but the surrounding mountains are rugged and difficult to walk. They will need at least two or three days, and two or three days. With me and Sha Moke's alternating battles, tomorrow at the latest, the city will Those miscellaneous soldiers must be wiped out!"

Zhang Ren couldn't count how many people he killed today, even though he has been in the battlefield for a long time, he couldn't bear it. What's more, he scolded Zhu Bao for his wickedness. He didn't have any troops, so he sent these young soldiers to the battlefield To die is simply a lack of virtue.

One must know that even Zhu Bao's direct lineal soldiers can't escape any good from the elite herdsmen. These young miscellaneous soldiers, no matter in terms of physique, combat awareness, and military formation, are far from heaven and earth.

Sending these young soldiers to the battlefield is not sending them to death.

"I believe in Thunder Tiger!"

Huang Zhongdao: "Tomorrow at the latest, he will definitely be able to enter the city. You should take a good rest for the time being. The night battle should be accepted by the Wuxi barbarians. Let them show their strength first. I will personally supervise the battle. My lord will do everything possible to ask Wuxi to fight." Brutal participation in the war is not just for the sake of mere scorpion, scorpion is just a place to test their combat power, I have to see for myself how much combat power they have, and it will be convenient to use in the future!"

"What if Leihu can't break through Qilan City tomorrow?"

"Then kill!"

Huang Zhong said fiercely: "On the battlefield, I don't care whether they are elite soldiers or young soldiers. The military law does not hurt the people. As long as they fight, they are all enemies. There is no feeling to say that even if they are slaughtered, Also break Qilan as soon as possible!"

"All right!"

Zhang Ren sighed, not being able to bear it and not doing it are two different things, he who has been through the battlefield, even if he has a heart of benevolence, he will not have the benevolence of a woman.

................................................

On the mountain road north of Qilan City.

"Chenyue, can this road lead to the city?" Lei Hu had been on the wrong road for three days. It took him a whole day, but he couldn't get in. This is the shortcoming of the away game, and he is not familiar with the terrain.

"Brother Huzi, trust me!"

Chen Yue is the leader of the Chenxi tribe of the Wuxi Man tribe, and also a general under Samoke's command. He leads three thousand warriors of the Chenxi tribe to fight with Leihu.

He and Lei Hu have known each other for a long time.

At the beginning, Lei Huhui suddenly intervened in the civil war in Wuximan, and he was the one who got to know Shamoke. If Wuximan hadn't produced a hero like Shamoke, in fact, Leihu would have wanted Chen Yue to push him away. Go to the position of the barbarian king.

Chenyue's martial strength is not as good as Leihu's, but in terms of the ability to distinguish directions in the mountains and forests, even three Leihus are not as good as one Chenyue.

Chen Yue said: "I have carefully checked the surrounding environment. I am sure that there is a way to enter the city smoothly. Today we walked a few roads. Although they are all dead ends in the mountains, the direction is correct. !"

"I believe you!"

Lei Hu nodded: "Unfortunately, there are no mountain people around. It would be much more convenient if we could catch a few as guides!"

"Most people don't dare to live in this kind of place!"

Chen Yue made a sudden move, pinched a poisonous snake in the palm of his hand with bare hands, quickly took out the dagger, opened the snake's stomach, took out the snake's gall, ate it directly, and then threw it away: "The surrounding area is haunted by wild beasts, and the howling of wolves is endless. Poisonous snakes are emerging endlessly, even people in our tribe dare not choose such a place as a place to live, and they can't guard against it by day and night!"

"Chen Yue, you are so powerful!" Lei Hu's eyes sparkled, "How did you manage to catch that snake accurately at night!"

"Smell!"

Chen Yue replied: "I used to see a lot of them in the mountains. Their smell is quite special, and you can smell it as soon as you smell it!"

"Great!"

Thunder Tiger clapped his hands.

"Captain, there is no way ahead!" The spies reported.

"There is no way again!"

Lei Hu frowned, but he seemed a little anxious.

"It's not that there is no road, it's a dangerous road!"

Chen Yue went to see it for himself, and then came back and said to Lei Hu, "What blocks us in front is a steep slope, and there are gaps between the steep slopes. We can climb over these uneven stones. We climb over this mountain. It is estimated that it is already in the city!"

"you sure?"

"Don't doubt my sense of direction. I've seen the map, and I can remember the terrain around here. Although the terrain is relatively large at the beginning, the direction is not wrong. Behind this must be Qi Lan. city!"

"climb!"

Lei Hu pondered for a quarter of an hour before making a quick decision: "We don't have time, even if it's an adventure, we have to try it!"

"Brother Huzi, let the people of our Chenxi tribe go to explore the road first. Although you are also familiar with the mountains, there is no guarantee that some snakes, insects, rats and ants will not come out of these rock cracks. In this regard, the warriors of our tribe are better than you. more familiar!"

"Row!"

Lei Hu nodded: "Han Xian!"

"exist!"

"Bring all the climbing ropes and give them all to the warriors of the Chenxi Department!"

"Yes!"

As a mountain camp, Zhanhu Camp has a complete range of climbing equipment, such as iron hooks, climbing ropes, footboards... and so on! "

"You Han people are still rich. With these things, this mountain means nothing to us!" Chen Yue said with a smile.

This is really not bragging, Chen Yue used the equipment of the Zhanhu Camp to first let the most elite people climb up with bare hands, and then dropped the rope. Three thousand warriors under his command, in less than two hours, had successfully climbed up. , and then the people from Zhanhu Camp also climbed over.

Before dawn, there was a period of the darkest time, the sky and the earth were all black.

On the hill, Lei Hu and Chen Yue stared at the big houses in front of them, and they had already entered Qilan City.

"Han Xian, shoot thunder and arrows!"

Lei Hu said in a deep voice.

"it is good!"

Han Siam bowed his bow and set an arrow. The arrow of this arrow was a little different. It was hung with a whistle, and then there was a small flame, which was rolled up with the thickest kerosene.

call out!
A loud sound broke through the sky, and then many people saw small flames across the sky.

"attack!"

When the thundering arrow was shot, the signal had already been sent out, and Leihu gave an order directly, and the fierce tiger descended the mountain, and thousands of soldiers rushed into the city...

…………

Under the night, Huang Zhong personally supervised the battle. The offensive power of the barbarian army was very satisfying. Although they were not familiar with siege, they could not deny their strength. After spending one night, they almost consumed [-]-[-]% of the troops on the city. What was slaughtered was blood flowing like rivers, and what was slaughtered was piles of corpses like mountains.

"Thunder Arrow?"

He heard a sharp voice, looked up, and his eyes lit up: "Call Zhang Ren immediately!"

"General, here I come!"

When Zhang Ren saw the Thunder Arrow, he was able to leap out of the camp. The soldiers could rest, but he couldn't rest. He waited all night for the Thunder Arrow.

"Assemble all the soldiers immediately and attack!"

"The drums are already beating and the generals are gathered. Give me half an hour, and I will attack directly!"

"it is good!"

..........................................

At dawn, the battle in the city started.

Zhu Bao knew it later, but this man was very afraid of death. Even when the city was in the most dangerous time, the most elite three thousand soldiers were by his side to defend him, but he met Leihu, a fierce tiger.

Leihu's Zhanhu battalion, together with Chenyue's three thousand Chenxi warriors, seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses rushed in, invincible.

The war lasted for three hours, and it didn't gradually subside until the afternoon. There was only gunpowder everywhere, and Lancheng had already been breached. Zhu Bao was shot through the heart by Lei Hu and died in the main hall of the prefect's mansion. .

The elite Zangcang soldiers in the city were almost slaughtered by the soldiers led by Lei Hu, and several streets were bloody.

The soldiers and horses on the top of the city were jointly attacked by the Dongzhou Army and the Wuxi Barbarian Army, and all were killed.

The blood seemed to envelop the city so that people could not breathe, corpses were piled up like a mountain, and most of the young and middle-aged people in this battle were almost wiped out!
