Chapter 435
Taking advantage of the night, Xia Houshang was put outside the city in a basket.
At this moment, the gates on all sides of the city had already been blocked by stone bases. Even if the sergeants wielded their hoes to dig in the city for half a day, they still couldn't dig out the piled up stones at the gates.
Therefore, at this moment, even if the wooden skins of the city gates on all sides were burnt with fierce kerosene, and the city gates were bombarded with many holes, the Shu army outside the city still couldn't enter the gate holes.
But Xia Houhe didn't dare to be careless.
He came to Handan from Nanpi, God knows how many Cao Jun secret agents died because of escorting him.
But Xia Houshang's situation here is even more difficult.
Before he came, Xia Houshang could only sleep for one or two hours a day.
Without him, a city gate will fall, and a city wall will be found by the Shu army...
After Xiahouhe arrived, Xiahoushang could finally lie down and rest.
"Decree, the number of people patrolling the city tonight will be tripled."
"Here."
Of the four masters of Xiahou, Xiahou He is naturally the last one.
Xiahou is still out of the city, so he can't slack off, otherwise, if the city falls, how can he afford it.
-
At the corner of the south city gate, the hundred or so people who groped their way to the mound below the city in the dark were lying on the ground at this moment, quietly looking at the leader, a young general.
There were five coffins piled up between them, all of which were filled with black gunpowder at the moment.
And at this moment, there is also a hole under the bricks of the city wall.
Put a coffin in, and pour gunpowder and fire oil on the coffin next to it.
"call"
The moment Jiang Wei, who was the leader, waved his hand violently, the group began to rush back towards the original road.
"There are people in the city."
The movement of hundreds of people running around will naturally be noticed by the people on the top of the city.
"Quick, shoot the arrow."
"Throw the torch first."
"huhuhuhu"
Four or five torches were thrown towards the bottom of the city. In an instant, the city suddenly burst into flames, and then there was a sound of shaking and shaking, a large area of the city wall collapsed, and dust and smoke spread out in all directions.
Jiang Wei kept saying "Bah, bah, bah!", and he didn't turn over and sit on the horse until the cavalry came.
"Old General Huang."
"Jiang Wei, you've done a good job. It's yours to break the city." Huang Zhong looked at him with a smile, and then rushed towards the city with an army of tens of thousands behind him.
"The city is broken?" Xia Houhe, who had just arrived near the south gate, showed a shocked expression.
"Did no torches be thrown tonight?"
"Why did our army not react when the enemy touched the edge of the city wall and placed explosives?"
Explosives, artillery, these are a great weapon that the Shu army is stronger than their Cao Wei.
Xia Houhe asked himself, probably more than half of the cities lost by Cao Wei in these years were captured by artillery and explosives.
The soil camp under Liu Feng's command is now divided into two, one in Liaodong and the other in Tiannan. Otherwise, if it is used to attack Handan, I am afraid that the city of Handan will be gone long ago.
"Kill!~"
On the streets, there was a lot of shouting and killing. There were at least five or six thousand cavalry from the Shu army, criss-crossing the streets, with tens of thousands of infantry behind them pouring into the city.
Completely lost... There is no way to escape.
"Xiahouhe, get off your horse and accept the surrender." In the distance, Huang Zhong charged forward with a saber in hand, pointing at Xiahou's nose and yelling.
"Huang Zhong, you killed my uncle in the past, and you killed my father again during the Battle of Mount Tai. Unless you commit suicide and apologize, a certain Xiahouhe will never surrender to the Shu army." Xiahouhe also has backbone.
Both Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan died at the hands of Huang Zhong, so let him surrender to Huang Zhong?
It's just wishful thinking.
"Xiahou, now that you are a beast, don't you want to go south to Xuchang to meet your uncle Cao Mengde?"
Xia Houhe's complexion changed, "The late emperor is dead, don't talk nonsense here, old Huang Zhong, take your life."
He raised his sword with both hands, and his horse galloped forward fiercely, fighting with Huang Zhong on the street.
"Xiahou, you are not as good as your father Xiahouyuan."
"This knife technique is poor, and the strength is not good."
"Since you don't surrender, then today, you will go to hell with your father and brother."
"Your Xiahou clan, direct descendants, have killed more than a dozen people in these years. If you go down together, you can be regarded as a neat family."
"Bastard, old man, take your life."
Xia Houhe was very angry, and the strength in his hand increased a little again.
"clang"
After a loud noise, Huang Zhong retreated half a step, but saw Xiahou and Hu's mouths were numb, and they backed away two or three steps pale.
"die!"
Huang Zhong swung his saber wildly, with a scream of cutting the air, he slashed down with his saber at an angle.
"clang"
This time, Xia Houhe tilted his head, and the blades collided directly.
Afterwards, Huang Zhong's blade slashed directly on his neck arrogantly...
When blades clash, the strongest will win.
Cutting the meat with the blade, it easily cut through Xia Houhe's neck.
Blood flowed down the neck, and in just a few breaths, the ground was stained red.
"Huang Zhong... old man."
Xia Houhe stared wide-eyed, holding Huang Zhong's saber tightly with one arm.
"Someone refuses to accept you."
Huang Zhong sneered, "There are a lot of people in the world who don't accept me, but those who die under my sword are those who are self-righteous and arrogant."
"Among them, your Xiahou clan has the most members."
"chi"
He pulled the blade sharply, directly stretching Xia Houhe's neck wound.
Xia Houhe rolled to the ground directly following the direction where his blade was hanging down.
Huang Zhong raised his saber violently, "Xiahouhe is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
Although he was old, he was a little excited at the moment.
Handan, which has been surrounded for more than three months, has finally been captured.
"Old General Huang, the City Lord's Mansion has been captured by me, but there is no rice in the mansion, not even the rations for the more than [-] people in the city. Xia Houshang, that cheater, even piled up their rice grains in the City Lord's Mansion Distributed together, this is good, we have captured Handan, and we have to send in hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass."
In the distance, Jiang Wei came on his horse, his face full of resentment.
"Bo Yue, you have made great contributions in this battle. This time, in front of His Majesty, you may be promoted to Deputy General of Huben."
Above General Huben Zhonglang is the Deputy General, second only to General Sun Jiao.
"Don't dare, don't dare."
"This battle was just using letters to deceive Xia Houshang."
"Surrounding Handan, making Handang an isolated city, and flooding Xiahouwei and Xiahourong's [-] cavalry were the work of Deng Ai, not Jiang Wei."
Huang Zhong pointed at him with a smile, "You are young and promising, you are not proud of taking credit, and you have the air of a general. In time, you will also be my next Lu Xun."
"Besides, your martial arts skills are superb, and you will be able to charge and kill in the future, which is much better than Lu Boyan."
