Zhang Lang sat in the study, looking at the report from Hanzhong that he had just received. Yan Yan's army had been resisting Sun Jian's army for ten days, and the battle was in a stalemate. Although Sun Jian had not made any progress, he did not want to stop at all.

What he means. Judging from his posture, he seems to have never given up until he conquered Hanzhong.

"Lord." Zhuge Liang came in and said.

Zhang Lang raised his head and waved quickly: "Kong Ming, come quickly."

Zhuge Liang came to Zhang Lang and knelt down.

Zhang Lang asked with some concern: "Kong Ming, do you think Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will also launch an attack on us at this time? The current situation is a bit unfavorable to us!"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, "Lord, don't worry, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will never come to attack!"

"Why? Now is a great opportunity! If the coalition forces come to attack, their confidence in capturing Hulao Pass will be much greater than any other time!"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Lord, if you were Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, would you come to attack?" Zhang Lang thought for a while, his eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and laughed, "Yes, yes! Both of them have their own ulterior motives, both of them

I was worried that the other party might raid their rear when they attacked with all their might! They couldn't come to attack us!"

Zhuge Liang smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Lord is wise! That's it! Now both of his families have placed heavy troops outside Hulao Pass, which is everything they can do! It's impossible to go further!"

Zhang Lang touched his chin and frowned: "Although this is the case, the army cannot be transferred! It is not easy to solve the barbarians and Sun Jian! Although the strategy has been formulated to pacify Nanzhong first and then repel Sun Jian, it is not

I know if Yan Yan can defend it?" Looking at Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang thought, "Yan Yan has nearly 100,000 troops and natural barriers! It is logical that he can resist it! However, Yan Yan's army is the original

The combat power and fighting will of the Yizhou Army are probably not comparable to other legions. It is hard to say how long can Sun Jian, Jiangdong Tiger, and Yan Yan resist it!"

Zhang Lang thought, "Then we have to make the worst plan. If Yan Yan can't defend Shangyong City, we must have a second plan!"

Zhuge Liang said: "My subordinates have been thinking about this question too! If Yan Yan can't defend Shangyong City, it's better to give up the entire Hanzhong!"

Zhang Lang was shocked.

...

The next day, just dawn, but when the soldiers of the Baotao Guard were still sleeping on the city wall, the earth trembled, from far to near, and became more and more violent; a rumbling sound came from his ears, beginning very far, very quickly

The ground approached, and after a moment it was like thunder rolling on the head. The soldiers on the city woke up one after another and looked out the city along the walls. They saw a brown tide surging in the hazy mist in the morning.

Come.

"Prepare for battle! Everyone enters the battle position!" The generals on the city wall shouted loudly. The trained soldiers of the Leopard Guard immediately entered the state. The soldiers in charge of the crossbow in the middle of the cemetery and the catapult car immediately began to calibrate the shooting.

Angle and direction; crossbowmen stand on the side of the wall, take out arrows and put them on the bowstring, or pull the bowstrings of the strong crossbow to install crossbow arrows; another group of soldiers are busy carrying rolling stones and wood on the city wall;

The soldiers who were summoning the city danced flags on the top of the city, and the sound of war drums roared loudly.

Zhang Lang, accompanied by Xu Huang and others, climbed up the city wall. Looking outside the wall, he saw the barbarian army lined up to set up a battle formation to prepare for siege. The ladders and the rushing city were densely packed with cars, but there were no other more complex siege equipment.

The army of thousands of wild beasts was arranged on the left and right sides of the formation. The central army of Meng Huo and others was located behind the assault troops in the city, and there were countless strange flags made of animal bark. It felt like

The barbarian army outside the city was like a army of monsters siege in "Warcraft" in my memory. Thinking of this, Zhang Lang couldn't help but smile.

The drum sound outside the city suddenly stopped, and the Southern Barbarians' ox horns rang out loud, whimpering..., resounding through the sky.

The earth stirred up, and a bombardment wave composed of tens of thousands of troops rushed towards the city walls.

"Cathock launch!"

The catapults on the city wall began to shoot first. With the huge roar, stones as big as basin were thrown into the sky and roared towards the barbarian army. Crackly... stones fell into the army.

In the middle, flesh and blood were flying everywhere, and the sound of the city gates hitting endlessly!

The barbarians were brave. Faced with the fierce attack of Lu Bu's army's catapult, the beasts that smelled blood not only did not retreat, but became even more excited and crazy. They held their weapons high and howled like crazy, as if they were crazy.

Like a wolf, insect, tiger and leopard!

"Bed crossbow fire!"

The barbarian army entered the range of the bed crossbow, and the bed crossbow mounted on the city wall began to show its power. Huge guns and arrows flew out of the city, hitting a leader of the barbarian army, instantly passing by, and then hitting again and again.

After two barbarian soldiers, the fourth Manchu soldier was nailed to the ground from a distance; huge guns and arrows were roaring and raging from it, pulling out bloody marks, which was shocking.

The barbarian army still did not retreat, but was still particularly crazy, but the scene was a little confused.

The lord under the Central Army's turret frowned. Lu Bu's powerful long-range firepower surprised her and was also shocked. In fact, other barbarian leaders, including Meng Huo, also had this idea.

"Blow the horn a little louder!" Meng Huo roared from the horn hand beside him. The horn hand immediately started blowing desperately. Woooo..., it felt different from before, like a livestock was whipped.

It started to get stronger.

The barbarian siege troops were facing the powerful long-range firepower on the city wall, and people died at any time, and screams made people numb. The barbarian soldiers were rushing forward with their teeth, and they were all thinking:

Just rush under the city wall, it’s our turn to show our power, and make the Han people look good!

Finally, after paying a huge price, they rushed under the city wall. The soldiers were excited, but they could not attack directly because there was a moat several meters wide in front of them blocking the way. The soldiers carrying muds and stones were everywhere.

Fill muds and stones into the moat, and the moat splashed into a circle for a moment.

"Bowman shoots!"

The locust-like arrows fell on the city wall, and there were endless sounds. The barbarian soldiers who rushed to fill the moat by the moat were shot to the ground, and many people rolled into the moat. In just a moment, the clear moat was clear.

The water turned into a turbid mixture of yellow and red.

The barbarian soldiers under the city walls were unobstructed and became the best targets for crossbowmen. The barbarian soldiers holding leather shields tried their best to withstand the opponent's arrows, but their thin leather shields could not block the powerful shooting at all.
Chapter completed!
