In the south of Changsha City, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Zhang and Liu sides were fighting desperately above and below the city. With the south of the city as the center, soldiers from the two sides would engage in a stalemate tug-of-war with each other.

The rain of arrows whizzed across the sky, and the arrows were all over the field. Some of them hit the shields under the city, making a crackling sound. Some of the arrows did not stick on the shields but stuck into human flesh, causing large splashes.

of blood flowers.

The sun has already risen high, which means that noon has arrived, but the momentum of Zhang Xian's army's attack on the city has not weakened, and the spreading peaks of soldiers have gradually dispersed from the city wall to the surrounding area.

The earthen wall has an end after all, and the end of the earthen wall is a defensive fortification consisting of residential buildings, trenches, sawed antlers, etc.

Zhang Xian's soldiers and horses are already preparing to attack and infiltrate these places.

Zhang Xian, who was sitting in the middle army, had been observing the battle situation ahead. Seeing that the city gate could not be attacked for a long time, he ordered the messenger: "Hurry to the front line and inform Zhao Yu to lead his troops westward to attack the weak point.

, this side of the city wall, I personally take command!"

"only!"

…

The siege has been going on for a long time, and the blood stained a large area of ​​the earthen wall, not only from Zhang Xian's army, but also from the barbarian soldiers.

After all, the earthen walls in Changsha are not very high, so many Jingman soldiers could be shot over by Zhang Xian's elite crossbowmen below at the top of the city. And just now, several groups of Zhang Xian's soldiers had already rushed onto the city wall, and they were almost controlled at one point.

However, due to Liu Pan's proper command and the brave fighting of Li Dian, Zhang Tang, Shamoko, Baili Xi and others, Zhang Xian's army that climbed to the top of the city was able to repel Zhang Xian's army again, and the Nanman camp was able to regain its strength.

Take back the city defense.

However, Zhang Xian's army's offensive continued, and soldiers in the rear formation were constantly being replenished, while the enemy's troops in the front formation slowly moved westward under the leadership of enemy general Zhao Yu.

go.

Their movements could not deceive Liu Pan's eyes.

"Bo Yu! The enemy is going to attack the west."

Liu Qi nodded gently and said, "I saw it."

Liu Pan was a little anxious and said: "There are no high walls in the west, only low wall fortifications built by people's houses. Although Huang Xu is guarding there, I'm afraid there is still insufficient defense. If there is any negligence, the consequences may be disastrous!"

Liu Qi smiled slightly and encouraged: "Brother, I will leave this city gate to you!"

"What do you mean?"

"I will take Dian Wei to the west to support Huang Xu."

Liu Pan was shocked when he heard this and said: "Bo Yu, you..."

"Brother, I'm not here. The troops here are all under your command. If you can guard against Zhang Xian, it will be your fault alone and has nothing to do with me!"

Having said this, Liu Qi paused and continued to say seriously: "Brother, today is the time to defeat Zhang Xian on your own and become famous!"

When Liu Pan heard this, his eyes were slightly moist, and his hand holding the sword hilt was trembling slightly.

He took a deep breath and said with emotion:

"Actually, ever since Zhang Xian first attacked the city, I have been commanding the soldiers here by myself, and they have nothing to do with you."

Liu Qi: "..."

Well, since my brother has grown up, he has always been quarrelsome with me.

Liu Qi smiled, stretched out a hand and said, "Brother, take care!"

Liu Pan also stretched out a hand and gave Liu Qi a high-five: "Bo Yu, take care of me. You and I will buy wine at the county office tonight to celebrate each other's success!"

After saying that, they saw both people laughing, and then Liu Qi turned around and walked down the city wall.

Liu Qi's back disappeared from Liu Pan's eyes, but the smile on his face gradually disappeared, turning into a serious expression.

He drew his sword and said to the bodyguard beside him: "Follow me to the top of the city. I will personally supervise the battle at the top of the city!"

"only!"

…

The fighting in the south of the city was still going on in full swing, and Liu Qi led Dian Wei straight to the open space to the west of Changsha.

There is a mountain in the middle of the earthen wall from the south of Changsha to the west, so it is impossible to build a city to surround it. However, if you bypass that mountain, you can enter the west of the city through a shadowy path, and at the exit of the shadowy path

, there are stretches of residential buildings on both sides, which have now been requisitioned by the county office as defense fortifications. At the same time, directly in front of the path, a ditch is filled with water, coupled with sawed antlers and other objects as basic defenses. There are

A group of Han crossbowmen and barbarian melee soldiers led by Huang Xu firmly guarded the area.

Although this place is narrow and easy to defend, once it is breached, Zhang Xian's soldiers will be able to march straight into Changsha City, and the situation will be out of control.

The shouts of killing in the south of the city rang for most of the day. When Huang Xu heard it, he was filled with emotion and worry, but at the same time he also had a little hope.

He hopes that the enemy army can divide its troops here so that he can make a contribution...

He did not accompany Liu Qi to Luoyang at the beginning, which has always been a regret in his heart.

"Huang Sima, look over there!"

Following the shout of a team leader next to him, Huang Xu turned around and looked,

But deep in the path, there was a faint dusty sky, and there was also the sound of horse hooves, accompanied by people's loud shouts.

…

Not long after, a group of soldiers led by Zhang Xian's general Zhao Yu rushed straight towards where Huang Xu and others were.

"Well done!"

Huang Xu didn't have the slightest fear, but instead looked excited.

He pulled out his Huanshou sword and shouted at a group of Han crossbowmen: "Get ready... to fire arrows!"

Zhao Yu and other soldiers and horses did not stop or set up a formation, but went straight towards Huang Xu and others and charged towards them.

The ears of the soldiers on both sides were filled with the sound of arrows and shouts of killing. After the soldiers under Zhao Yu rushed through the heavy rain of arrows, the soldiers in the front led a group of people and threw all the long ladders in their hands into the ditch.

Immediately after the cut, a group of warriors from Zhang Xian's army roared with sharp blades in their hands. They stepped on the pontoon bridge built by the ladders and rushed towards Huang Xu and others on the opposite side.

"Kill! Kill me back!"

Huang Xu shouted and pointed his sword directly at the ladder bridge built by those who rushed up the ladder.

This ditch was originally used for defense, but now Huang Xu was eager to make a contribution and planned to rush back.

The capable warriors of the Southern Barbarian Army obeyed the military orders and rushed to the ladder bridge. The soldiers of both sides could not engage in a carpet-like confrontation. They could only confront each other on the ladder bridge and kill each other on the water.

The battle on the ladder bridge was so fierce that many people fell into the water while fighting.

There was blood flowing everywhere, and soon, the ravine was filled with layers of corpses. The number of bleeding corpses in the water gradually increased. Not only were complete corpses floating on the water, but there were also fragments of body parts, and corpses with heads.

Red is everywhere, our own people are red, the enemy is red, those fighting on the pontoon are red, and those who fall are also red...

Huang Xu stood behind the pontoon bridge and saw that the two sides were locked in a stalemate on the ladder bridge, refusing to give in to each other, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

He took a deep breath, then took an iron shield from the hand of a guard beside him, and led a group of guards to suddenly rush to a ladder bridge.

"Get out of the way! The second and third sons will get in first!"

After Huang Xu squeezed away the barbarian soldiers in front, he followed him onto the pontoon bridge. After all the southern barbarian soldiers in front were knocked down into the water, Huang Xu rushed to the first line and started a battle with the opponent's soldiers.

Huang Xu's action was naturally unstoppable, and he shot down all the enemy soldiers in front of him into the water. He led a group of personal guards and southern barbarian troops to quickly advance on the ladder bridge.

Soon, Huang Xu was seen switching from the defensive to the offensive, leading his men across the ravine and approaching the enemy's main force.

Zhao Yu observed in the middle army, then called to the accompanying soldiers, took his two-stone bow, bent the bow and set an arrow, and slowly aimed at Huang Xu.
