Chapter 5: The Storm of Xi County (2)

The Deng army could not stand, and Fan Yi had no choice but to order a strong attack. After all, this advance was aimed at a quick battle. If the Deng army could not be quickly defeated, captured Wancheng, and waited for Qin, Zhao and others to react, destroying Deng would be just a dream.

Xixian County

Fan Yi looked at Deng Jun who was waiting for the battle in the city and couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that Deng Jun was determined to defend himself.

"Assiege!" Fan Yi shouted loudly, and Xu Kang led 10,000 troops to attack the city first.

"The whole army is on guard, boiling soup, boiling water, huge rocks, rolling wood are ready, and archers are ready, and the arrows are ready. On the top of the city, Huang Biao arranged the matter of defending the city in an orderly manner. Xi County was originally just a small county town. Although Deng State had been operating for many years, it could not accommodate 50,000 troops at the city head at the city head. Now the Han army is mainly attacking the West Gate, Huang Biao arranged 10,000 troops at the West Gate, and the remaining three gates were divided into two parts. The remaining 20,000 troops were taken turns to defend the city with the West Gate defenders. The remaining 8,000 troops were as the last mobile force, supporting the four gates at any time.

"Swish!" As the Han army entered the range of bows and arrows, the Deng army on the top of the city began to shoot arrows, and the Han army under the city screamed in waves.

However, bows and arrows cannot kill all the Han army. As a large number of Han army approached the city wall and ladders, the offensive and defensive battle between the two armies finally began.

Huang Biao and Li Tianhu led the city guards to the front line and the soldiers braved countless arrows to push the ladder.

The soldiers who climbed halfway through the ladder were screaming and fell from mid-air, some of which fell from the air, some of which fell directly into the river. However, the Han army went forward and followed by the ladder. Some soldiers stood up again and continued to climb in a row regardless of their lives. Among the heavy casualties, some of the soldiers of the opponent finally climbed the city, but were immediately cut by the guards of Xi County, with blood sprinkled into fog and kicked to the city.

Huang Biao immediately ordered to use long hooks and other long weapons to deal with the enemy's climbing and siege. He poured a pot of golden soup and boiling water on the soldiers in Pancheng and brought huge rocks to smash the ladders. The city screamed and the sound of blood and flesh flew across the edges, and they were terrifying. The Han army fell down and climbed up the corpses of their accomplices, and they looked numb and fearless. Deng army would never kill people. The wounded were transported to the city continuously.

The number of deaths on both sides increased steadily, and the soldiers were all covered in blood and their arms were sore, but the crazy, tragic and thrilling plot made people excited.

As night fell, the offensive and defensive battle in Xixian County had been going on for a day, and both sides paid the price of blood. Deng's army suffered more than 5,000 casualties, while the Han army estimated that the casualties were about 15,000. The one-to-three battle losses cannot be said to be bad or very good.

In the Han army camp, Fan Yi frowned. He didn't expect that Deng State would be such a tough and hard bone. In just one day's battle, there were so many casualties. Even if he could capture Xixian, how many of his 100,000 troops would be left? How could he attack the capital of King Deng Wancheng? In desperation, Fan Yi stopped moving and headed to the capital Chang'an to ask the King of Han to decide.

The Han army did not move for several days. Although Huang Biao and others felt strange, they did not act rashly. They just sent many scouts to inquire about the movements of the Han army.

Just when the bloody battle in Xi County was in progress, a battle broke out in Xinye in the south.

After Yang Yanzhao and others led an army of 10,000 from Wancheng, they took them all the way, entered Xinye, took over the 10,000 troops stationed here, and quickly arranged defenses.

Just less than three days after they arrived in Xinye, the Jing army drove to Xinye City.

Faced with the challenge of the Jing army, Yang Yanzhao asked Chang Yuchun and Cheng Yu to discuss.

"Military advisor, General Chang, the Jing army is now outside the city, I don't know what countermeasures are there?" Yang Yanzhao asked Chang Yuchun and Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu said: "General, there are 30,000 troops invading Xinye this time. The main general is Cai Mao, the first general of Jing State. However, it is not worth worrying. The elite troops of the Jing army were wiped out by King Wuzhuang back then. Now most of the 30,000 soldiers and horses are recruited from other counties and counties. The combat power is not strong. Moreover, although Cai Mao is known as the first general of Jing State, his ability is average. The 100,000 army was defeated by General Huang with 30,000 troops and almost wiped out the entire army. If Fancheng was not strong, I would have probably captured King Jing, Jiangling, long ago."

Yang Yanzhao and Chang Yuchun nodded. Although it was their first time to lead troops, they had clearly analyzed the situation of various countries when Deng Shengqian's residence. It is not worth worrying about the strength of Jing's foreign country.

After pondering for a long time, Yang Yanzhao decided to drive the army out of the city early tomorrow morning and fight directly with the Jing army.

Outside Xinye City, the two sides formed a formation.

Chang Yuchun beat the horse forward, pointed a spear at the Jing army, shouting loudly: "Cai Mao, you were defeated by my General Huang Biao back then, and the 100,000 troops were almost wiped out. I didn't expect that you still have the courage to attack my Deng State."

When Cai Mao heard Chang Yuchun mention his bromine incident, he couldn't help but be furious: "Who dares to appear and take down the head of this crazy child?"

"I'll be willing to go!"

The general named Zhang Yun bowed his hands, clamped his horse's belly with his feet, waved his big axe in his hand and shouted to take Chang Yuchun straight.

"Rats are looking for death!"

Chang Yuchun roared wildly, and the spear in his hand held a sharp wind and slashed straight towards Zhang Yun.

Chang Yuchun's fierce murderous aura made Zhang Yun shocked. In this moment, Chang Yuchun's spear had already been slashed in front of him. Xia Jie had no time to think about it, and hurriedly used all his strength to raise the axe in his hand to fight.

"Ah!" With a scream, a long spear pierced Zhang Yun's chest, blood splattered everywhere, and Zhang Yun fell off his horse.

"Who dares to fight me with Chang Yuchun?"

Chang Yuchun killed Zhang Yun with one sword, and his murderous aura became even more powerful. He stood in front of the formation majestic and shouted loudly.

Seeing Chang Yuchun showing off his might in front of the formation, Cai Mao was immediately angry and turned around and shouted at the generals behind him: "Who dares to go out and kill the thief's head?"

"I will go to Shen Chao!"

Before Cai Mao finished speaking, another general rushed out of the Jing army formation and rode his gun, "Don't be arrogant, let's see if someone takes your head!"

Chang Yuchun ignored Chen Chao's shouting and rode his horse to fight up. The spear in his hand held the autumn wind to sweep the fallen leaves and whistled out.

clang

When the two guns collided, Chen Chao felt a huge wave of force surged in. The tiger's mouth suddenly shattered, and the spear in his hand suddenly flew out.

"die!"
