Chapter 63 Crazy Zhang Lu

On the way to Mian County, Pan Feng saw many people who fled with their families, which made him very anxious. Couldn't it be that Mian County can no longer be defended?

In Zhang Lu's camp, Zhang Lu was in a crazy state and urged the three armies to attack the city with red eyes. In the past three days, Zhang Lu's army attacked Miancheng day and night, and the original good city became devastated. Even the most dangerous times, the city wall changed hands several times, and Miancheng was almost lost.

"Tai Shou, let the soldiers rest!" Yang Song discouraged him. He had always been greedy for money and thought that his pity had been eaten by the dog. The bodies, bloody, or staring at each other, never closed their eyes. The comfortable Hanzhong has never experienced a war. This time, Yang Song finally realized the cruelty of the war.

Zhang Lu stared at his scarlet eyes, gritted his teeth and roared, "I can't rest. I'm going to take down Miancheng and cut off the head of Pang Tong and Wei Yan's two thieves to pay tribute to my brother's spirit in heaven."

Three days ago, Zhang Lu received a special gift. On his birthday, Pang Tong took advantage of the night to attack his grain and grass camp. Although the fire was extinguished in time, more than half of the tens of thousands of stones of grain and fodder were burned. Then when he returned to the camp, he was ambushed by Pang Tongbing, who had already been ambushed halfway. Back in the camp, I saw a brocade box and a letter on the Shuai case, and the letter said:

How is Zhang Taishou? Pang Tongbai.

I was grateful for the kindness of the eunuch's courtesy before, and now I am the master of the battle with the eunuch. Although he is weak and talented, he is still slightly better than Tai Shou. I have a clear saying that the Taishou will accept it, and the Taishou is not the enemy. Why don't you accept the small gift? Is it good to retreat? Since then, you and I have coexisted peacefully, not with swords and soldiers. In fact, it is the blessing of the people in Hanzhong and the blessing of the imperial guard.

After reading the letter, Zhang Lu tore the letter to pieces angrily. But at the same time, he also wondered what kind of gift could have such a great face to make him retreat. He carefully opened the brocade box with the tip of his sword, for fear that the tricky Pang Tong would hide poison arrows in the brocade box. However, when it was opened, there was a white silk inside, which seemed to be wrapped in something. Several big words were written on the white silk - a fresh pig's head.

Slowly opening the white silk, Zhang Lu's qi and blood surged, and a mouthful of blood spewed out. It turned out that under the white silk was the head of his own brother, Zhang Wei.

"Pang Tong dog thief, I am not at home with you." A roar like a fierce ghost in hell resounded through the whole barracks...

"The Taishou, the soldiers have not rested for three days and are exhausted. I'm afraid that if it goes on like this, the soldiers will be dissatisfied, and I'm afraid it will provoke a mutiny!" Yang Song said worriedly that on the other hand, he was worried about the mutiny, but he was more worried about Zhang Lu, who fell into madness. Although he was greedy for money, he was also loyal!

"No, I can't rest. Take Miancheng and rest. Inform the generals of the army and give me a strict order that they can't take down the city and behead them all.

......

The huge catapult kept hitting the huge stones the size of a bath plate on the wall, making a deafening noise, and the huge impact turned into a destructive force, smashing the wall with holes and debris flying across.

On the wall, from time to time, soldiers couldn't dodge and were smashed by the boulder falling from the sky. In an instant, the bones were gone and turned into meat mud.

Time, the sound of impact, shouting, screams, shouts and the smashing of bones are connected on the wall.

The attack of the catapult is only a prelude, followed by the approach of Zhang Lu's phalanx.

The former army's siege was not fast. They paid attention to the formation and the connection and cooperation between the phalanx.

The soldiers in the array move forward slowly and step by step. Of course, this also has something to do with the armor on the soldiers.

"The enemy has begun to attack the city, prepare bows and arrows, and prepare to roll wooden stones--"

The shouts of the lieutenants and Shi Chang on the wall, coupled with the roaring trampling of the enemy's phalanx outside the city, the atmosphere was extremely tense, and everyone present tightened their nerves and fought fiercely.

Boom, boom - the boulder is still hitting the wall, and the soldiers at the head of the city hide behind the pile of arrows, holding weapons tightly, with expressions of tension and fear.

In the face of so many enemies, under the deterrence of such strong pressure, no one can come down easily.

When Zhang Lujun's front battle was only 100 meters away from the city, the creepy catapult finally stopped shooting, but then the shouts in the city shouted loudly, and all the soldiers accelerated their pace and began to attack the city.

"Listen to me!"

Wei Yan didn't know when he climbed to the tower, bent down, and shouted condescendingly.

Dong, Dong, Dong - the footsteps outside the city are getting closer and closer, the cold sweat flowing on the faces of the guards is also more and more, and people's hands holding weapons are unconsciously trembling.

No one spoke, and the whole city was as quiet as death, leaving only wheezing and neat footsteps outside the city.

This silence before the war is more uncomfortable and depressing than when the battle is going on. The tension cannot be released and can only be held in the heart, which is almost crazy.

When the forerunner of Zhang Lu's former army was only 50 meters away from the city wall, Wei Yan finally gave the order to attack. He carried enough strength, waved the flag in his hand, and roared: "Arrow!"

"Arrows, arrows--"

The officers near and far away repeated his orders.

With a crash, the wind soldiers who had hidden behind the arrow pile stood up and shot at Zhang Lu soldiers in the city.

The arrows are as dense as raindrops. For a moment, a row of black clouds floated out of the top of the city and fell sharply to the former military formation under the city.

jingle! Pounce, Pounce, Pounce!

The collision sound of iron, the sound of broken armor and heartbreaking screams were connected under the city, but in an instant, hundreds of people fell to the ground.

But this does not affect the previous progress of Zhang Lujun. The dense soldiers seem to be emotionless machines, forgetting life and death, forgetting fear, and moving forward mechanically.

"Fight arrows, shoot arrows, continue to shoot arrows!"

In the shouts of the officers, the soldiers launched the second, third and fourth rounds...

Soon, the soldiers were also numb, but one arrow after another kept shooting down. At this time, there was no need to aim at all. The city was full of enemies. Every arrow shot, as long as the force was strong enough, it could almost shoot the enemy.

Even under such a dense rain of arrows, Zhang Lujun stepped on the bodies of his companions and pushed under Tongmen City. The already prepared ladders were set up one after another, and then the soldiers swarmed up like ants. After the death order was issued, these soldiers knew that retreating was death, and there would be a glimmer of life if they attacked the city.

At this time, the rolling wood stones prepared at the head of the city came in handy. Soldiers threw rolling wood, smashed stones, burned fire oil, and picked up the ladder with long bamboo poles.

The upper and lower walls are like fried, and horses are hissing. From time to time, you can see Zhang Lubing, who climbed half of them screaming and falling down from mid-air, just like dumplings.

"Arrow--"

The front battle of the front army was attacking the city, and thousands of people in the middle of the battle had entered the range. As the general shouted, thousands of strong bows and crossbows were opened and fired bows and arrows at the same time.

Thousands of arrows fell from the sky, how terrible it is.

The defenders on the wall didn't see what was going on at all. Suddenly, they felt dark and looked up. It turned out that the overwhelming arrows covered the sun.

At this time, it's too late for people to avoid it.

In an instant, the soldiers who smashed wood and stones and poured fire oil on the top of the city were shot into hedgehogs, some fell directly to the ground and died, and some fell from the head of the city to the city. Their appearance was unbearable.

"Shield, shield, be careful of the enemy's bow and arrow!"

Pang Tong in the tower was a little speechless. He originally wanted to anger Zhang Lu and force him to attack the city. When the casualties were too large, he would retreat by himself. But who would have thought that Zhang Lu was so crazy like a sheep? For three days and nights without rest, only crazy people can come out of the successive siege.

The arrow rain on the wall is too dense, and Wei Yan, who has always regarded himself as brave, can't hide in the tower.

"Military division, it can't go on like this. The 5,000 soldiers defending the city came to fight hard overnight, and more than half of the casualties have been lost. Why don't we split up and raid Zhang Lu's rear army according to the previous plan!"

"No." Pang Tong shook his head.

"Why not?" Wei Yan doubted, "Military, you know, if we resist so hard, we have to finish it sooner or later."

"Wenchang, you don't know that in the face of absolute strength, there are all plots and tricks. According to the news from the detective, Zhang Lu sent 15,000 troops this time. He took out all his family to fight with us. If you divide the troops now, you walk forward, and then the city will be broken. What else can we talk about? Pang Tong said.

When Wei Yan heard this, he had no idea at this time.

"What should I do? We can't just watch the city break down like this! Why don't we give up Mian County and retreat to Yongcheng?"

He is most worried about failure now. Zhang Lu hates that his teeth are itchy. Wei Yan knows it. If the city is broken and the first one to die is Pang Tong, then the second one will never run away from Wei Yan.

"We have to prevent Zhang Lu's attack even if we retreat. Now we can't withdraw at all. We can only fight to the death." Pang Tong said helplessly, "You send a few people down, gather some strong men to defend the city, evacuate the people in the city, and sprinkle the roof with saltpetre, sulfur and other ignition objects."

"What are you going to do?" Wei Yan asked.

"Don't worry about it. Do what I said. When I block the enemy's attack, I'm trying to break the enemy."
