Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2298 Anyway, that's it

  Fangling.

  The setting sun is like blood, illuminating the upper and lower parts of the city red.

  Following a series of orders from Zhang's army in the formation below the city, the black rain of arrows, amidst the terrifying sound of bowstrings, rushed towards the top of the city wall like a swarm of wasps in a mess. The rain of arrows crashed down, hitting the blue bricks, battlements, and flagstones on the city wall, splashing a series of sparks.

There were screams from time to time. After all, some recruits were running around under such pressure, trying to hide in a "safer" place while taking advantage of the rain of arrows, but they were often sent down during the transfer process. A wave of arrow rain hit, and then fell down in disorder.

  In the battlefield, the more panicked, the faster the death.

  After surviving the panic of being at a loss, she gradually grew up...

  After more than a dozen waves of arrows rained, there was another shout from the city, and people's heads surged. The barbarians and Zhang's soldiers in all kinds of variegated clothes mixed together, roaring, and rushed towards the city wall.

On the city wall, the iron armor was still standing, and they were not in a panic. The wounded and the dead were all lifted by the civilians and sent to the city. Following Huang Quan's order, the archers behind the shield immediately stepped forward and stuck to the battlements. Shooting the rain of arrows obliquely towards the city, the archers in Zhang's army who had no time to withdraw immediately fell down in a row screaming, and the screams could be heard clearly even from such a distance.

  The archers of Zhang's soldiers retreated while rolling and crawling, Huang Quan gave the order again: "Press down the three fingers and shoot freely!" 』

The archers lowered their shooting angles and poured arrows at the barbarians and Zhang's infantry rushing up. The infantry charged under the city fell one by one, and the blood was splashed everywhere. Those who were shot did not fall silently. Next, he covered his wound and rolled on the ground, howling, his voice was so shrill that it made one's hair stand on end.

  The arrows used by Huang Quan are also the spiked arrows that hussars usually have. The arrows have barbs. As long as they are stuck into the flesh, it is extremely difficult to pull them out. Not pulling out the arrow is equivalent to being unable to recover, losing combat effectiveness, and bandaging is useless.

  Crowds of people came to the city, and rows of wooden ladders with green leaves were erected one after another, and the crowd climbed up like ants...

  『Sword, shield and spear step forward! 』

   Huang Quan roared.

  The archer shot the last arrow in his hand, then turned sideways, moved away from the battlements, to make room for the sword and shield hand and the spearman, and retreated to the side, shaking their arms one by one, and panting heavily.

  Among the array of Zhang's infantry in the distance, with the sound of drums, huge monsters were pushed out one after another, all of which were newly-made siege vehicles and cloud towers, driving slowly, slowly pushing towards the city.

  『Ballista! Huang Quan stretched out his hand and pointed, "Destroy the enemy's equipment!" 』

  While Huang Quan was issuing the call, archers from the Zhangshi Yun Tower poured arrows towards the city, and a few arrows shot at Huang Quan!

  A **** next to Huang Quan was shot, without even a wail, he fell on his back, blood spattered out with a puff, staining Huang Quan's face...

  『Emissary! Please step back quickly! 』

  Huang Quan's guards stepped forward, trying to persuade Huang Quan to hide back, but Huang Quan refused.

After the two crossbow guns nearly missed, the third crossbow gun of the crossbow cart arranged at the corner of the city hit the side of Yunlou, and the sawdust flew across the sky, causing the Yunlou, which had a high center of gravity, to shake, standing on the ground. A few unlucky Zhang archers on the Yunlou failed to stand still, and amidst the screams, the ones on the head and feet fell off, like a bag full of soil hit the ground, and there was no movement .

Another crossbow shot at Yunlou, and the shaking of Yunlou became more and more obvious. The pawns pushing under Yunlou tried to restore the center of gravity of Yunlou, but it was difficult for barbarians and ordinary soldiers who had not received much training. Understanding the center of gravity adjustment, which is relatively more complicated than pushing and pulling the cloud tower, not only failed to restore the center of gravity, but caused the center of gravity to become even more unbalanced due to the rush, and finally fell heavily, not only throwing the archer on the cloud tower He broke his hands and broke his legs when he went out, and also crushed several unlucky people nearby, screaming again and again...

  Huang Quan sneered as he looked at the jumping guy under Zhang's flag far below the city.

This is already the tenth day, and the soldiers of the Zhang family have spent a lot of money, attacking wildly every day, leaving a lot of corpses every time, and the number of wounded should be doubled, but they failed to break through the city, even Even the morale gradually collapsed, and many barbarians began to work hard and did not cooperate.

  Huang Quan looked at the slow-moving car crash, patted the guards around him, and said, "Go get the kerosene!" If it gets close to the city gate, burn it! 』

At this time, the pawns below the city had already begun to climb up, and the roaring and killing sounds became stronger and stronger. It seemed that the formation was very huge, but as the ladder on the city wall was pushed away by the fork, the barbarians below the city immediately He yelled, then retreated automatically...

  The soldiers of the Zhang family also ran away with the barbarians...

   The person who pushed the crashed car saw other people running away, looked around, and escaped from the crashed car one after another...

   Another anticlimactic attack is over.

  The war drum that was originally roaring in Zhang's army seemed to be knocked weakly for the last two times, as if it had leaked, and became dumb.

  The battlefield suddenly calmed down, and the remaining wounded below the city were still screaming and moaning.

  Huang Quan patted the battlements and laughed. The other soldiers on Fangling City also laughed, as if laughing at the weakness and incompetence of Zhang's infantry.

  Under the banner of the Zhang family under the city, Zhang Ran was furious: "Kill it!" Kill them all! These deserters! deserter! All killed! All killed! ’ Then he turned his head to look at Ji Que, the leader of the barbarians, and said, ‘It’s your people who retreat first! What should I say this time? ! ah? ! 』

  Ji Que also jumped, "Who can blame this?" The ladders are all down, could it be possible to ask our people to climb up on the bricks? You can't even stand up a ladder yourself, so you blame my people? ! 』

  The two people stared at each other, as if they were about to draw out their sabers to slash at each other in the next moment, but after waiting for a while, they each turned their heads away, calling for their own soldiers to stand up...

  After a while, Zhang Ran looked up at the sky, "That's all for today..."

  Ji Que also answered, "In Fangling City, there are elites..."

  Since you are an elite, if you can't beat them, you won't lose face.

   Surround it, anyway, that's it.

  …╮(╯▽╰)╭…

  Zhangye.

   It has been the third day that Beigongwei is outside Zhangye City, confronting the defenders in Zhangye City.

  In fact, some people understand in their hearts that one Zhangye is not the whole of this war, nor will it be the end. The war this time, if it is said to be against the tyranny of the Han people, it is better to say it is about the struggle for the sovereignty of the Hexi land. Here, Han people and Qiang people competed with each other for the right to speak, and entangled the entire Han Dynasty.

  Of course, there are many other reasons for this. The struggle for pastures and tribes, the weakening and replacement of Qiang nobles from generation to generation also played a role that cannot be ignored, but the most important thing is still the interests. For those who regard politics as their life, their wives, children, and children can be abandoned, separated, or even shared, but only authority cannot be compromised, and benefits cannot be shared!

  Beigong did not wait for the Han people to flee in a panic, nor did it wait for the reinforcements to come in a hurry. It seems that Zhangye was abandoned and stayed here...

   Then let’s just leave it at that, it’s going to be a fight anyway.

  『My brave warriors...』

  Following the howling cold wind, Bei Gong raised his saber high and shouted loudly.

Although the purpose of Beigong's war is not so clean and pure, but some are still the same, such as to boost morale, to declare their correctness, so Beigong did not order the fight at the beginning, but to All the Qiang were indoctrinated with a reason to fight.

  『The Han people are greedy! The Han people are brutal! The Han people want us to lower our noble heads! The Han people want to occupy the places where we have lived for generations! The Han people want to plunder our cattle and sheep! Han people want to defile our wives and daughters! The Han people want us to put down our swords, bows and arrows! The Han people want us to become slaves who only know how to milk and plan in the soil! 』

  『God is above! Yoshiko on top! I! Jizi's son, with Jizi's blood flowing in his body, will lead you to defeat the Han people! Cut off the heads of the Han people! Let their city be their grave! Let their wives and children lose their husbands and fathers! Let them disappear from this land! 』

  『We, Yoshiko, protect us, God protect us! 』

  『Victory belongs to us! 』

   "Jizi", or "Qizi", is the Qiang people's name for the **** sheep. The ancient Qiang people believed that the white ram has supernatural supernatural powers and extraordinary reproductive ability, and it is the closest, closest and most important animal that protects the Qiang people.

Beigong raised his hands high and roared with all his strength. All the Qiang people who heard his voice became excited, shouting victory one after another. The war horses also seemed to feel the restless atmosphere around them, and twisted their necks accordingly, trampling forward. hoof.

At this time, Bei Gong pulled out the saber from his waist, held it high above his head, mobilized the horse under his crotch, and galloped before the long army formation. Wherever he passed, all the Qiang people roared like mountains and tsunamis. Like cheers, countless swords and guns dancing, pointing to the blue sky.

  『Victory belongs to us! 』

  『God protects us! 』

  『Call! 』

"Aha…"

  The entire Qiang army array was like boiling water, and the deafening whistling sound resounded through the upper and lower walls of Zhangye City.

  After the howling sound, Bei Gong returned to his original position and shouted loudly: "The fattest prey always belongs to the bravest warrior!" My warriors, use your bravery to gain your glory! Don't worry about your wives and children, they will be taken care of by your benevolent Jizi's son, and they will always occupy the most beautiful pasture and live a happy life forever! 』

  『I am just, I will never steal the spoils of soldiers like those greedy Han Chinese, but whatever prey you get is yours...Now, hold your swords and bows and arrows, and go to get the prey...』

"Yahoo…"

  『Oh oh oh…』

  …(·_·)?…

  Jiange is not just Jianmenguan.

   In other words, there is no Jianmen Pass yet. There are military strongholds, but the city is not closed.

  Dajian Mountain, Xiaojian Mountain, there are pavilions and roads for thirty miles in the middle, and at the place of Dajian Mountain, there is a broken wall with a thousand blades high, and the sky is a line, which is extremely steep.

   And at this very moment, Zhuge Liang is doing a lot of construction work here.

  This move made many people dumbfounded.

   Then there were various analyzes and discussions, and finally a relatively recognized result was reached, and Zhuge was discouraged.

   Like "prevention before it happens", "How can the sword gate pass to others", "Think about defeat before thinking about victory", etc., they all think that it is Zhuge Liang who then makes excuses for himself...

  For a while, there was a storm in Chengdu, and many people ran to the government office in Chengdu, jumping and yelling, saying that Zhuge Liang was incompetent, delayed the military plane, and ruined the great cause of the hussars. They should be arrested on the spot and executed on the spot!

And Xu Shu, who was supposed to be responsible for this incident, happened to be "ill" by accident, which immediately attracted more discussions. Every day, a group of "justice" people surrounded the gate of the government office, gesticulating , spitting, almost rushing into the government office, arresting Xu Shu for interrogation...

  Of course, these people are just doing this in their imagination. If they really attack the government office, their lives will be lost. But many people would still gather around and wait to see the joke. They thought that this time not only Xu Shu, but even General Hussars would stumble!

   Youdao means that one general is incompetent, and thousands of troops are exhausted!

  No matter how you look at it now, Zhuge Liang doesn't look like a capable general. It is said that Zhuge Liang made jokes when he first led the army...

"I heard that little friend Zhuge said in the army, "Where the three armies are on a high mountain, they are captured by the enemy; Hahaha, you can be said to be a famous teacher and disciple, a peerless successor... Hahahaha...』

  『This is the article of the Six Secret Teachings. A certain family has a remnant of it. I know a little bit about it... It’s just that this "Chen of the Bird Cloud" can defeat the enemy in Hanzhong? 』

"Can! ’ The former man laughed loudly and said, ‘I heard Zhuge’s little friend say that this time we set up a city in Jiange, there is a saying in the so-called art of war, “Either garrison its yin, or garrison its yang. Stay in the yang of the mountain, and prepare for the yin of the mountain. Be in the shade of the mountain, and be in the yang of the mountain; be on the left of the mountain, be on the right of the mountain; be on the right of the mountain, be on the left of the mountain.” Now in Jianshan Mountain, in the south of the mountain, it should be the north of the mountain. It is also! Ah ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha...」

"Ugh! You have misled your country! It's like Zhao Kuo is alive! 』

  『Zhao Youma is in uniform, Qiang Qin dare not spy on Jingxing! Now that there are hussars, the Hu people dare not go south to herd horses! However, Ma Fujun and his son read his father's biography, but they don't know how to fight together, and Zhuge only knows the book of war, but he doesn't know how to fight together...It's sad, it's lamentable! 』

  『Why not…』

  There are those who are distressed, those who gloat, or those who gloat just pretend to be distressed, there are also many...

  In Chengdu, there was chaos.

  Xu Shu, on the other hand, sat in a high seat in the government office, holding a book in his hand and enjoying himself leisurely.

  The attendants came in a hurry and stood outside, "I would like to report to the envoy, General Zheng Shu, please see me..."

  Xu Shu put down the book in his hand, thought for a moment, smiled, and then waved to his confidant attendant. The confidant attendant stepped forward, Xu Shu wrote a note on the desk, then handed it to the attendant, and said in a low voice: "When you arrive at the door, first grab General Zhengshu and give this to him secretly... and then loudly It is said that a certain person is sick, and no outsiders are seen... Do you understand? 』

  The attendant understood, nodded and left.

  Xu Shu ordered another person to wait at the side door, then shook his head slightly, "Kong Ming really hit the mark..."

  Before Zhuge Liang set off, he talked with Xu Shu once.

  Wei Yan turned back his head! Haha, just kidding, this statement was actually processed by Mr. Luo.

  Wei Yan is not like in many games in later generations, he is either a bald man or a barbarian face. Although he is not handsome and beautiful, at least he is not ugly. It seems that there is a piece protruding from the back of the head, and the skull deformity is even more nonsense. In fact, there is an anti-bone at the back of the head. According to some photo books, it is a square face with Chinese characters. Because of the masseter muscle or other factors, the cheeks are relatively high, and the cheeks in the front can be seen from the back, which is called it. It's "rebel".

  If it is said that "rebellious" has a straight temper, it is generally okay, and people who say such "rebellious" represent rebellion... Then I can only say haha.

  Zhuge Liang just said that Wei Yan looks more rebellious. Because of being unruly, he is easy to be headstrong and loses his composure. So Zhuge Liang concluded that Wei Yan would come to him within five days...

   After a while, Wei Yan entered through the side door and arrived in front of the hall.

  Xu Shu beckoned, motioned for Wei Yan to come in and sit down, and said to Wei Yan with a smile: "Mr. Wen made someone lose a game!" Let's see how to compensate me! 』

  Wei Yan couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words.

After receiving the note from Xu Shu's confidant attendant, Wei Yan knew that something was wrong. When he saw Xu Shu, he didn't seem to have any worries at all. Jump, sat down and pondered for a while, "My lord, this bet...is it based on the date when a certain person comes to the government office?" So... is it early or late? 』

  『What does Wen Chang think? Xu Shu replied with a smile while ordering his attendants to serve tea.

  Wei Yan thought about it again, sighed and said, "In this way, it must be...early..."

   The answer is simple, and there is only one.

  Xu Shu smiled, said nothing, and signaled Wei Yan to drink tea.

  Wei Yan also fell silent, holding a tea bowl and drinking hot tea. Zhuge Liang must have made a bet between himself and Xu Shu. Xu Shu took Wei Yan as a bet, and Wei Yan didn't think there was any problem, after all, Xu Shu was the old boss, and in a sense, Xu Shu gave Wei Yan a chance back then, and Wei Yan's current glory came to him. This is equivalent to reborn parents, so don't say it's a bet, even if Xu Shu criticizes Wei Yan in public, or even scolds Wei Yan, it's fine.

  But this little Zhuge...

Humph.

   Wei Yan felt a little upset...
