Mi Han

Chapter 230
The thousands of Han troops who took the lead in attacking Wudang County were led by two powerful generals, Ding Feng and Zhang Nan.

Among them, Ding Feng is courageous and very brave, and he is most suitable for the task of ascending and attacking the city first.

And Zhang Nanzi Wenjin, a native of Guangling Hailing, is a veteran general who followed Liu Bei early.

In the 16th year of Jian'an, Liu Bei entered Sichuan at the invitation of Liu Zhang, and Zhang Nan followed Liu Bei.

Later, Liu Bei broke with Liu Zhang, and Zhang Nan led the army to follow Liu Bei to fight around, and he made several achievements in battle.

In history, when Liu Bei launched an army to attack Wu, Zhang Nan, as a vanguard general, defeated Wu general Li Yi and others in Wu County, and then joined forces with Feng Xi to lead the army to Zigui.

In history, it was Zhang Nan who led the army to surround Sun Huan, whom Sun Quanmei called "the clan Yan Yuan".

Zhang Nan, who has followed Liu Bei for many years, has rich experience in both field battles and sieges.

So Mi Yang appointed Zhang Nan as the vanguard general who will attack Wudang County today.

After Zhang Nan led thousands of Han troops to the outside of the moat in Wudang County, he immediately commanded the Han troops to emerge from the siege.

Compared with the Han army by the moat, the Wei army on the Wudang city wall has a condescending advantage, but their morale has been confused at this time.

On the other hand, the morale of the thousands of Han troops who came to the moat was high.

Under Zhang Nan's command, they formed a battle formation in an orderly manner and began to shoot arrows towards the city wall.

The Wei army, whose morale was already in disarray, could not give full play to its condescending advantage.

With the army's morale in disarray, only a part of the Wei army on the city wall was obeying Man Chong's order and shooting arrows at the Han army by the moat.

The fire arrows, which were not dense, were blocked by the siege and the big shield, and did not cause too many casualties to the Han army by the moat.

Even those fire arrows did not cause too much commotion in the Han army's formation.

Soon after, thousands of arrows shot up from the sparkling moat at Zhang Nan's order, and headed towards the high Wudang city wall.

Because of the distance and height, these thousands of Han army arrows did not cause much casualties to the Wei army on the city wall after they came to the city wall.

But the densely packed arrows made Wei Jun, who had been shaken in his military spirit, even more flustered.

As the panic grew, Man Chong's orders became less and less listened to.

Man Chong has a lot of majesty among the Wei army in the city, but no matter how deep his majesty is, he can't compare with Cao Ren.

After the news of Cao Ren's accident began to spread, Man Chong's control over the Wei army in the city was also rapidly weakening.

And this undoubtedly created a great opportunity for the Han army under the city.

Fewer and fewer fire arrows shot down from the city wall.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the old general Zhang Nan no longer hesitated, and he immediately ordered the Han army who had already pushed the trench bridge to the moat to start erecting the trench bridge on the moat.

Man Chong, who was standing on the city wall, saw this scene, with a look of anxiety on his face.

As usual, the best way for defenders to face such sharp siege equipment as trench carts is to fire arrows.

The trench car was wide and a good target.

But now the Wei army on the city wall is in a panic because of fear in their hearts, how can they organize a decent offensive.

Without the interference and destruction of fire arrows, the five trench bridges were quickly erected and laid on the moat.

Five moat bridges are placed side by side, so that a channel with a width of more than 20 meters appears on the moat outside Wudang City.

Such a passage can already accommodate a large number of Han troops to pass through it.

After seeing the wide bridge deck paved by five moat bridges, Zhang Nan immediately ordered Ding Feng to lead thousands of Han troops to step onto the moat bridge first with a large shield in hand, and then he ordered people to quickly pull and crash the car. to the moat.

Crashing cars, also known as rushing cars, are the main siege equipment used by the army to attack the city gates.

Man Chong saw that Ding Feng was leading thousands of Han troops, passing the trench bridge quickly.

And behind the thousands of Han troops, several large crash vehicles have gradually appeared.

Even though Man Chong was very anxious at this moment, he had no choice.

Because he has no way to stabilize the mood of Wei Jun who is flustered on the city wall.

When Man Chong on the city wall was helpless, Ding Feng quickly led thousands of Han troops across the trench bridge.

Then Ding Feng led thousands of Han soldiers with large shields in their hands to protect the vital parts of their bodies, and approached the Wudang city wall in front of them step by step.

Soon after thousands of Han troops crossed the trench bridge, several siege weapons aimed at the city gate were also pushed down to the trench bridge by the Han army.

Seeing the crashing car step by step towards the city gate below him, despair appeared in Man Chong's eyes.

Man Chong couldn't help raising his eyes to look in the direction of the northern imperial capital, he thought sadly:
Is today the day of his martyrdom?

But when Man Chong looked to the north with desperate eyes, he suddenly saw a huge cloud of dust moving quickly towards Wudang County behind the fortified barracks lined with Han flags.

After seeing this scene, Man Chong, who was already desperate, instantly released a strong light in his eyes.

For a while, Man Chong still didn't believe his eyes, he quickly rubbed his eyes a few times with his hands, and then looked there intently.

Concentrating all his energy, Man Chong saw several flags in the dust that he wanted to see the most.

The khaki-colored Wei military flag.

When he saw the Great Wei Army Flag appearing in the dust, Man Chong's face was filled with great joy.

Survival from a desperate situation, who doesn't like it!
The excited Man Chong immediately pointed to the north and shouted on the city wall:
"Reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived!"

Although Man Chong is no longer young, he is still full of spirit after serving in the army for many years.

His excited voice soon resounded loudly at the city wall where he was.

When Man Chong's voice began to be heard by some Wei soldiers, they all looked in the direction of Man Chong's finger.

The piece of dust that was still far away was now closer to Wudang City.

So when the soldiers of the Wei army looked in the direction of Man Chong's finger, those soldiers of the Wei army also quickly saw the khaki military flag looming in the dust.

The reinforcements have really arrived!
After realizing this, those soldiers of the Wei Army started shouting "reinforcements have arrived" as if they were full of excitement.

From point to surface, under the influence of high cheers, more and more Wei Jun raised their panicked heads and looked towards the dust.

Then the cheers started to grow louder and louder.

For the Wei army in the besieged Wudang city, there is nothing more exciting than seeing the arrival of reinforcements.

Seeing that because the reinforcements had arrived, Wei Jun on the city wall began to recover from the panic and fear, Man Chong no longer hesitated.

Man Chong hastily drew out the saber at his waist, pointed at the crashed car crossing the trench bridge under the city wall and shouted:

"This is what our lives are tied to."

If Man Chong said so just now, it wouldn't resonate much.

But now the Wei army on the city wall saw that the reinforcements had arrived, and their hearts were lifted.

The sense of panic brought about by Cao Ren's unexpected encounter just now began to slowly disappear from their hearts under the inspiration of their hearts.

In this case, coupled with the fact that Man Chong has a high prestige in the Wei army, so if Man Chong is at this time, it is easy to get the approval of the Wei army on the city wall.

As soldiers, they all know the big killer of siege, such as crashing a car.

They knew that under the impact of the collision, the city gate or the city wall under their feet would not last long.

Therefore, they must not allow the car to crash and approach the city wall at their feet.

The morale of the Wei army on the city wall began to recover rapidly.

After Man Chong said that, he gave the order to release the fire arrow again.

Because the main attack direction of the Han army was the north gate, the Wei army had the most soldiers on the north wall of Wudang City, numbering in the thousands.

Among the thousands of Wei troops, there are hundreds of crossbowmen.

Hundreds of crossbowmen of the Wei army raised their longbows one after another after their minds were stabilized after receiving the order from Man Chong to release the rockets again.

They ignited the arrows taken from the quiver at their waists, and then they put the burning arrows with sesame oil on the longbows in their hands.

With the flags fluttering in the hands of the generals of the Wei army on the city wall, hundreds of rockets shot down from the city wall several meters high and directed towards the five moat bridges.

If the two armies are fighting, unless there is a special terrain bonus, hundreds of arrows will not cause much damage.

But if in the battle for the city, the defending side fired hundreds of arrows by virtue of its condescending advantage, the damage caused would be different.

Because of the height, hundreds of Wei troops who have been trained can easily aim at the trench bridge on the moat.

Moreover, the arrow is shot from a high place, so such an arrow is undoubtedly more powerful.

When hundreds of fire arrows fell on the hundreds of Han troops who were crossing the trench bridge, many Han troops were shot down in an instant.

At this time, many fire arrows fell on the moat bridge.

No matter how exquisite the trench bridge is, it is only made of wood.

Therefore, when the fire arrows covered with sesame oil fell on the trench bridge, it immediately caused many fire points on the trench bridge with a width of more than 20 meters.

This scene was quickly noticed by Zhang Nan who directed thousands of Han troops to charge.

After seeing this scene, even though Ding Feng led thousands of Han troops very close to the city wall, even though the first car crashed on the trench bridge had already passed half the distance of the trench bridge, Zhang Nan still gave the order to withdraw the troops decisively. instruction.

With the sound of several beeps, the Han army on the trench bridge pulled the crash car and quickly retreated.

And when Ding Feng, who was about to approach the city wall, heard the sound of gold ringing behind him, he looked back in disbelief.

He didn't understand why Zhang Nan would suddenly call for gold when he was leading his army almost to the city wall of Wudang County.

Although Ding Feng also found that the trench bridge behind him was already on fire everywhere, Ding Feng felt that as long as he persisted for a while, he might not be able to lead his army to break through the city.

But no matter how much reluctance Ding Feng had in his heart, the sound of Ming Jin behind him became more and more urgent.

Military law is strict.

Ding Feng could only look regretfully at the mottled city wall that was close at hand.

In the end, he secretly bit his lips and led thousands of Han troops, and quickly retreated from the trench bridge that was not completely burned.

Just when Ding Feng led thousands of Han troops to quickly retreat from the trench bridge, the trench bridge with a width of more than 20 meters, which was attacked by multiple fire arrows, began to burn violently on the moat.

Soon after, the wide trench bridge was completely engulfed in flames.

Looking at the moat bridge that was engulfed in flames, Zhang Nan felt terrified in his heart.

If he hadn't retreated in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Unlike Zhang Nan who had fear in his heart, after Ding Feng led the army to retreat, although he also saw the trench bridge that had already started to burn, he still felt unwilling.

Ding Feng came to Zhang Nan and asked puzzledly: "Our soldiers are about to touch the enemy's city gate. Why don't Zhang Du wait a little longer?"

In front of Ding Feng, Zhang Nan pointed to the moat bridge that had been completely engulfed in flames, and said to Ding Feng:
"If we don't retreat in time, our army's retreat will be cut off."

Under Zhang Nan's answer, Ding Feng continued:
"If Governor Zhang just urged the soldiers to push and crash the carts across the bridge, it is not impossible for our army to break through the city gate."

Regarding Ding Feng's point of view, Zhang Nan shook his head and said, "This move is too risky."

"The enemy's reinforcements have arrived, and the morale of the enemy troops in the city has been revived.

Even if there is a car crash to cross the bridge smoothly, but relying on Cheng Yuan's more than a thousand soldiers, it may not be possible to successfully break through the city gate. "

Just now Wei Jun on the city wall cheered, Ding Feng and Zhang Nan heard it most clearly, it's not that Ding Feng didn't know what Zhang Nan said.

But Ding Feng was famous for his bravery when he was young, and he was young and vigorous, so he expressed incomprehension of Zhang Nan's approach.

Ding Feng's character has always been that as long as there is a chance, he will try his best, which is why he suffered so many injuries.

And although Zhang Nan was also a brave general when he was young, as he grew older, coupled with Liu Bei's training, his personality has become much calmer.

If it was time for him to go all out, Zhang Nan would never back down.

But he will not take great risks and let his soldiers die in vain.

Although Ding Feng was dissatisfied in his heart, there was nothing he could do about it.

Mi Yang didn't know for the time being that because of Zhang Nan's Mingjin withdrawal, Ding Feng began to feel dissatisfied.

But even if Mi Yang knew about it, he still agreed with Zhang Nan's approach.

Siege warfare has never been easy. It is true that the situation has been very good for the Han army just now.

But in the battlefield, there has never been an absolute advantage. Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent.

Perhaps the Han army was only one step away from breaking through the gate of Wudang County just now.

But it was Mi Yang's offensive strategy that first disturbed the morale of the Wei army in the city, and only then did it have this effect.

Now with the arrival of reinforcements from the Wei army, the morale of the Wei army in Wudang City has been revived, so Wudang County will not be so easy to win.

At this time, Mi Yang's attention had already been attracted by Wei Jun who suddenly appeared behind his camp.

Standing on the nest cart, Mi Yang looked at the khaki-colored Wei Army flag that appeared behind him.

His gaze finally fixed on one of the flags, and the surname on that flag made Mi Yang feel a sense of importance.

Sima.

Originally, Mi Yang was still curious about why the reinforcements from the Wei army would arrive so quickly, but if the black horse was there, Mi Yang would not be too curious about this.

Before Sima Yi met his mentor Zhuge Liang, he was already a general who was good at fighting raids.
