Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1169
At the city gate of Nanzheng, a dozen Zhang Ludao soldiers were huddling near the gate, surrounding a small bonfire to avoid the dew in the middle of the night.

At some point, a few soldiers got together and began to complain.

"Are you saying that there are only a few days of peace? How long has it been stable, and we are going to fight... fight back and forth, and it's not us who are big soldiers... Eat well, drink better, really I don't even have any hope..."

"... Everyone says that Guanzhong is chaotic, but I don't think Hanzhong is much better!"

"By the way, didn't it mean that the power of the Celestial Master is boundless, and can eliminate evil and eliminate diseases? Why can't we just do it directly and make the soldiers outside the city retreat?"

"Damn you really think..."

"Shut up!" Just when the topic was getting off track, the leader sitting by the bonfire was still a little rational, and quickly stopped him, "Don't worry about it! Black Butt, go check the city gate again Go and see if there are any dry firewood around, and bring some more..."

A soldier with a large rash on his head responded, grabbed a long gun and walked out of the door, but it was not so much that he was holding a gun, it might be better to say that he was holding a long gun as a crutch, and kicked deeply. As soon as he walked to the edge of the door, he seemed to see something, and then let out a half cry, but was cut off by a cold light outside the door!
A head with wide-eyed eyes flew up in the cold light, and fell down mixed with blood mist, bouncing on the green bricks on the ground of the city wall gate, turning around...

"kill!"

While shouting, a group of people rushed out of the night and headed straight for the city gate!

The team inside the door was shocked, and then stood up, just about to command the soldiers to meet the enemy, but felt a cold in the stomach...

At some point, a short blade had already sunk into the side ribs of the captain, and the captain only had time to glance at the pawn standing beside him before he collapsed limply on the ground.

There was a sudden chaos inside the doorway, and several soldiers who resisted were cut down to the ground by the rushing people in a blink of an eye.

"Unbolt! Unbolt! Open the gate!"

A middle-aged man who was obviously the leader rushed over. The knife on his body was already stained with the blood of several people, and the bloody smell rushed over his face, "Quick! Call out of the city!"

The soldiers on the Nanzheng watchtower were awakened by the noise, opened their eyes in a daze, and then realized something, stood up abruptly and rushed to the edge of the battlements, looking at everything in front of them in disbelief, just a gurgle in their throat There was a sound, but I couldn't make a sound for a while. After waiting for a while, I suddenly opened my voice and shouted: "The city is under attack! The enemy is attacking the city!"

It wasn't long before the sound of the alarm came out, and the golden gong on the city had just been sounded, and there was a faint shout in Nanzheng City, and then this shout was repeated by more people, and it became louder , turned into a huge roar, resounding over Nanzheng City: "The traitor Zhang Lu has been defeated! General Zhengxi has entered the city! Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who surrender will not be killed! If anyone resists, all three clans will be killed!" !"

In front of the Nanzheng Mansion Yamen, it was also surrounded by people and was attacking. At the gate, it was already killed almost as much as the Flesh and Flesh Mill.The so-called "righteous men" lurking in the city, besides the city gate, another important target is here.

Some of Zhang Lu's personal guards lined up at the door, some stood on the watchtower of the wall, desperately stabbing those who tried to climb up, and some stood on the roof with bows and arrows , Arrow after arrow shot outward...

All of a sudden there were shouts, and the entire Nanzheng government office was like a boiling pot of blood porridge without a lid. From time to time, blood-red foam would splash and splash everywhere around it.

The shouts in Nanzheng City became louder and louder, and many fires ignited, flickering and illuminating figures, big and small, baring their teeth and claws like monsters in the night sky.All kinds of sounds of fighting and shouting, the sound of weapons colliding, the screams of dying, all kinds of voices, ranging from small to loud, from low to high, mixed together, and bursts of muffled thunder spread into Nanzheng In the government office, the news reached Zhang Lu's ears.

At this time, the sound outside the city gate also rang out. Although it was much farther away than the roar of the fighting that was close at hand, the people in the Nanzheng government office, including Zhang Lu, were all people who had been on the battlefield. Although the voice outside was relatively weak, everyone knew clearly what the voice meant.

The low and steady sound of footsteps stepping on the ground uniformly, the sound of orders to maintain the front line, the low whistling sound of each soldier involuntarily coming from the dantian, although it is far away, it cannot be blocked by Nanzheng's city wall. , nor can it be concealed by the hustle and bustle in front of it!

This deep but powerful voice made everyone in the government office, including Zhang Lu, sweat all over their bodies!
At this time, there were quite a few soldiers and generals with bloody faces around Zhang Lu, and they just opened their throats and shouted...

"Master! The thieves in the house are attacking very hard, and we need to add more people to defend!"

"Master! Hurry up and issue orders, and transfer the soldiers of the army camp in the city! First, we will calm down these thieves at the gate of the house!"

"Master! You can't send soldiers from the city to come here, you have to take care of the city defense first! If you are attacked from outside the city and come into the city, everything will be over!"

"Master! Seeing that the front door is not going to work, why don't we protect the master and retreat to the back door!"

Amidst the buzzing sound, Zhang Lu just felt that his hands and feet were cold, and his face was completely devoid of blood in the swaying flames.For General Zhengxi outside the city, Zhang Lu was not completely defenseless, but seeing General Zhengxi coming from afar and not starting to build siege equipment, he thought that there would be a few days before Zhengxi would attack the city, but he never expected Tonight will be such a big change!

What should I do?
Should we dispatch troops to quell these sources of chaos in the city first, or should we hurry up to resist General Zhengxi's siege?

If you don't kill these rebellious soldiers in the city, you will inevitably have endless troubles. If you take advantage of the chaos and burn your weapons, food and grass, how long can you hold on to the four gates?

But if you want to mobilize troops to surround and kill these rebels, the streets and alleys in the city overlap with houses, it is not easy to wipe them out all at once, I am afraid that if you entangle them for too long, it will cause the city gate to fall and Nanzheng to be lost!
Zhang Lu gritted his teeth, hesitating, he was unable to speak for a while, only heard the disturbing voice in his ears getting louder and louder...

....................................

Fei Qian looked at the east gate of Nanzheng from a distance, and behind him a three-color flag was erected high, guards stood on the left and right, besides Huang Xu, Zhang Ze also changed into a military uniform and stood with Xu Huang. After Fei dived.

At the east gate of Nanzheng, fireworks were already rising, and soldiers from both sides fought to one place.

Originally, there were soldiers stationed in Nanzheng City, including the hidden caves on the city wall, but firstly, Zhang Lu did not arrange in advance, secondly, the incident happened suddenly, and many soldiers are still subconsciously resisting until now, thirdly, because Tangluo The two brothers Yang Song and Yang Bai turned against each other, and Zhang Lu, the city's defenseman, was worried about letting outsiders take charge, so he asked his brother Zhang Wei to control him. His face was pale, and even the orders he issued were somewhat incomprehensible, which made the soldiers in the city even more at a loss...

So in the current Nanzheng, there are only these officers at the lowest level, such as the commander of the garrison, who are still trying to control the situation, gathering their own soldiers, and directing the defense.

Although these grassroots officers are working hard, but without a high-level commander, the orders issued will inevitably conflict and influence each other. Everyone is shouting at the neck, but even if they are standing face to face, they may not be able to hear each other clearly. Seeing something, as the flames in the city gradually increased, and the flames of the Nanzheng government office were raging, these grassroots officers gradually lost their minds, not knowing whether they should go to the government office or the city gate... …

However, the pawns that Fei Qian prepared did not leave enough time for Zhang Lu to adjust. The current [-] infantry were divided into [-] groups, and each group carried a long ladder to attack Nanzheng. In the ditch outside the city, pull out the antlers to keep the horse away, and then put the ladder on the ditch to build twenty temporary narrow wooden bridges!

If it was a normal siege, under the pressure of bows and arrows, these soldiers might not even be able to charge up, and the casualties must be heavy, let alone the easy way to build a ladder in the trench with almost no loss .

Although there were soldiers shouting and shooting arrows down on the city, the sporadic attacks in the dark night were basically nothing, and they couldn't stop them much.

As the archers on both wings of General Zhengxi's array pressed forward, and began to cover blind shots towards the city wall, there was no decent counterattack on the city wall.

After the ladder was erected, the soldiers in the second formation quickly passed the ladder on the trench under the orders of the grassroots officers, and went straight to the east gate where the battle was fierce!
In Nanzheng City, the shouts became louder and louder at this time, and there were more and more fires rising, mixed with the screaming cries of countless people in the city, the chaos was extremely...

"The city is broken..."

Zhang Ze stood aside and said softly.

"Well, the city is broken." Fei Qian nodded and said the same.

Up to now, Zhang Lu still has not made an effective counterattack, nor has there been a large-scale military formation, so it is basically doomed to defeat.

There should have been quite a few soldiers in the city. If these defensive soldiers form an formation and cooperate with each other, even if Fei Qian attacks the city gate, he may not be able to gain an absolute advantage immediately, but until now, there is still no decent defense. With the appearance of some defensive formations, the scattered guards in the city without command will inevitably be unable to withstand the impact of the well-structured Fei Qian soldiers. Even if there is a slight resistance, what greets them can only be a one-sided killing!
Sure enough, not long after, amidst the cheers at the gate of Nanzheng City, the suspension bridge that was suspended high suddenly fell down!

Seeing that the city gate had fallen into his hands, Fei Qian immediately raised his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Gongming listens to the order! Enter the city and defeat the enemy!"

Xu Huang immediately took the order, took a few steps forward, took the long ax handed over by the guard, and shouted: "Follow me into the city! Destroy the enemy!"

With an order, the forest-like knives and guns in the army were raised high, and they followed Xu Huang, rushing towards the city gate like a tide, shouting at the same time: "Enter the city! Destroy the enemy! Enter the city! Destroy the enemy! "

....................................

At this time, Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei were already covered in blood.

At the last moment, Zhang Wei still chose to save his elder brother Zhang Lu first, rushed out of the barracks with his soldiers, killed and dispersed the rebellious army around the mansion, gathered with Zhang Lu, and then thought about turning around the city gate. It's too late now...

One man rebelled, and a hundred people followed, not to mention these rebellious soldiers in the city. They were originally left behind by Nanzheng Zhang, and they were carefully prepared in case they turned against Zhang Lu. Can Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei control it?

One or two hundred people, in this dark night, set off a huge storm in the middle of Nanzheng County!

The fires ignited everywhere caused many people to be forced out of their homes by the raging flames, which added to the chaos in the city. It seemed that there were a large number of people running and bumping around on every road, and the young and strong could still run and shout , the old and the weak can only be trampled on the soles of their feet!

They all thought that if they practiced the Heavenly Master, they would have peace and joy, and they could live on for a while, but they didn't expect that overnight, there would be a military disaster in front of them!

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei retreated towards the west of the city while gathering their soldiers...

Although Zhang Wei doesn't have much commander-in-chief ability, he still has some force. Perhaps because he knew that the moment was critical, or because he wanted to escape for his own life, he rushed to the front with a straight knife in one hand and my long spear in the other, and hit him head-on. A team of Zhang Ze's private soldiers ambushed in the city.

"Kill! Kill them!"

Zhang Wei shouted loudly, and then he raised his sword and gun to kill Zhang Ze's private soldiers, and the guards who followed Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei also knew that this moment was the key to life and death, so they shouted, all Let's fight forward!

Zhang Ze’s private soldiers lurking in the city, in order not to attract attention, it’s not bad to have some swords, guns and weapons, so it’s impossible to have a lot of armor, bows and arrows, and even dogs jumping over the wall, let alone people?

Therefore, when Zhang Lu also carried the long sword and moved forward frantically, these private soldiers of Zhang Ze couldn't resist, and several people were killed in succession, and the rest screamed and fled in all directions. Escape in the streets and alleys...

Zhang Wei's face was stained with blood foam and pieces of flesh, his eyes were red, but he wanted to chase and kill others, but Zhang Lu grabbed him: "Quick! Ximen, let's go to Ximen!"

As long as he escapes from birth, Zhang Lu still has a little prestige accumulated from Zhang Daoling's generation, as well as Taoists and believers scattered all over Hanzhong, as well as the soldiers guarding Yangping Pass...

There is still hope!

As long as you are alive, there is still hope!

Zhang Lu looked back angrily, seeing the flames rising from the east gate, gritted his teeth, and just urged Zhang Wei and others to retreat to the west gate...
