Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 166
Sure enough, under the instigation of Tan Shihuai, these Xianbei people's aura of being frustrated in the attack was once again aroused, and everyone regarded death as home, and after vigorously worshiping the heroic spirits who died in battle at night, they will prepare for tomorrow's battle. Getting ready for battle, this time, even the neighing of steeds at night could not distract them from their fatigue, their only thought was to take down the city in front of them!
In the early morning of the second day, following Tan Shihuai's order, the Xianbei people divided into four rows, and the first row took the lead in attacking. Charged against the city, Bao Hong was still the first to shoot the first feathered arrow. His arrow skills were quite good, and he penetrated the neck of a Xianbei soldier in one fell swoop, spurting blood for several feet!
Many soldiers also drew their bows and shot arrows one after another, but the Xianbei people had already been prepared for this. They used those large shields to defend in front of the Yunti soldiers, and quickly moved towards the city. Most of the feather arrows were filled with those The large shield had no effect on the soldiers under the large shield. When Bao Hong saw it, he immediately ordered to stop shooting arrows and wait for the right time.

The most suitable time is naturally when these Xianbei people are climbing the ladder. Shooting rashly now is simply a waste of these feathered arrows. After Bao Hong gave the order, the four city gates also stopped shooting arrows one after another. After rushing to the city, Bao Hongcai suddenly discovered that these Xianbei people carrying ladders also had some small wooden shields on their backs, wrapped in cowhide and wool. When they arrived at the city, those big shields directly covered their heads.

But they directly picked up the small shield, held it in front of them, and started rock climbing with one hand. Unless it was those with amazing arms in the Han army, the rest of them would not be able to effectively kill the Xianbei people at all. Even the Han army Even the rain of arrows could not have much effect on the Xianbei people. In desperation, Bao Hong could only order some heavy objects such as stones to smash them!

Heavy objects such as stones, some will be resisted by the large shield, and some will be crushed directly by the shield, crushing the four or five Xianbei soldiers who raised the shield underneath. Bao Hong kept lifting the stones like crazy , and threw it downward, but the offensive of the Xianbei people was also very fierce. In such an entanglement, the Xianbei people gradually gained the upper hand relying on their superiority in numbers!

After all, the Han army was only 1 people, plus the counties and counties who came to help, there were only seven to eight thousand people. They were scattered on the four walls, and there were only more than 8000 Han troops stationed on each wall. They took turns It took a lot of energy to fight back. In the end, a steady stream of Xianbei people attacked the city wall from the west gate, and followed the footsteps of the first Xianbei people to the top of the city in Guzang County.

The rest of the Xianbei people also followed him to the top of the city. Tan Shihuai saw this scene from below, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the face of absolute power, any tricks are useless!

Zhang Xu, who was on the top of the city looking around, was also taken aback when he saw the sight of the west gate. As long as the Xianbei people opened the gap from the west gate, there was no way to block it, and the garrison of the other three gates would become a joke. His eyes widened, and he looked at those soldiers who got up one after another and used their last strength to fight the Xianbei people desperately, and felt a little bit of retreat in their hearts!
At this moment, with the unique whistle on the grassland, Qierisi led many Qiang soldiers to the west gate wall. These Qiang people had not experienced fighting, but they were still a new force. When they joined the After the battle at the west gate, for the Xianbei people on the city wall, the fight became a simple massacre. How could a group of soldiers who worked so hard to climb to the top of the city be the opponents of the Qiang warriors who had cultivated for a long time?
Cheli Tuo roared angrily, held a large shield, and slammed into the Xianbei people fiercely. The Xianbei people howled miserably, flew out of the city wall, and fell to pieces. After the reinforcements joined, the exhausted Han soldiers , It was also extremely ferocious, attacking again and again, the ladders that the Xianbei people erected with difficulty in Ximen were pushed down by the Han army one after another, and Ximen's breakthrough failed immediately!
Qieri Tuo and many soldiers were preparing to defend the city together again. Bao Hong turned his head, looked at him, and shouted angrily: "No garrison is allowed! Continue to serve as reinforcements!" Qieri Tuo opened his mouth, but was unable to speak. Looking at Bao Hong, who was using a spear to assassinate Xianbei people climbing up one after another, with blood dripping all over his body, he walked down the wall helplessly.

Under the city, Tan Shihuai's face gradually became ugly. He originally planned to take this county in just one day. Later, after another two days, the gap was finally opened, and he was immediately captured by the city. Facing yourself, facing the king of the grassland, Tan Shihuai's siege, you still dare to hide the army as reinforcements?This made Tan Shihuai a little unhappy!
He immediately ordered the second row of soldiers to start charging!
The soldiers in the first row retreated slowly, and the soldiers in the second row began to charge, and the Han army was extremely exhausted without rest. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Ximen to be captured by the Xianbei again. Breakthrough, and Qieri Tuo is also like a withdrawal of support, and then, the East Gate and South Gate are repeatedly forced, and Qieri Tuo, who was still a little relaxed, also began to get tired!
The Qiang soldiers, who led less than 2000 people, blocked all the gaps abruptly.

The number of Qiang soldiers has also been reduced to more than 1000. Qie Liqi's face was covered with blood, and he looked ferociously at the Xianbei army under the city. Among the four city gates, only the north gate where Bao Hong was located has never been captured. It was broken by the Xianbei people!

In the offensive and charge again and again, Guzang County is still standing here firmly!

Tan Shihuai waved his hand with a gloomy face, and the remnants of the second row were slowly defeated. The spear in Bao Hong's hand fell, and his hands were trembling. He still didn't have the strength to lift the spear again. The spear was fired, Tan Shihuai looked at the top of the city coldly, and waved again. The Xianbei people in the third row roared and charged. Bao Hong looked at the Xianbei soldiers who were charging, and his expression was a little numb.

Among the crowd, Zhang Xu looked at these soldiers. He knew in his heart that these soldiers had reached a critical point and were facing collapse, but there were still many soldiers in Tan Shihuai, and he could grind them down bit by bit. All the defenders can't hold it anymore, alas, where should I hide later, and where should I escape?At this time, Zhang Xu was already prepared in his heart to flee.

Tan Shihuai also sneered, looked at Sifu beside him, and said: "I'm going to sleep for a while, wake me up when the city is broken!!" After speaking domineeringly, he returned directly to the tent and returned to the camp. He didn't sleep in the tent, but looked carefully at the drawn map. He needed to determine the direction of the Han army's reinforcements. If he thought correctly, the Han army's reinforcements should be led by Duan Xie.

If he marches in a hurry, he may arrive in four or five days. He must quickly take down the county seat, completely cut off the connection between the west and the Han court, and expand the territory of Xianbei!In the future, with such a huge territory, Helian will be able to compete with that child in the Han court!
