Chapter 469 Xu Shu went to die

"Pioneer army, attack the city!" Outside Xiangyang City, Xue Rengui gave an order, and three thousand vanguard troops rushed to Xiangyang City.

Xiangyang is the northern lifeline of Chu State. Once Xiangyang and Fancheng are conquered, there will be a flat river to the south.With the national power of Chu State, only Baima Yicong, Suanni cavalry and [-] infantry can occupy the land of Chu State south of Xiangyang, Fancheng.

Therefore, both Xue Rengui and Xu Shu paid great attention to today's battle.Xu Shu wants to secure the northern lifeline of Chu State, and Xue Rengui also makes contributions to Jin State and helps His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to pacify the world as soon as possible.

Three thousand pioneers under Xue Rengui rushed to Xiangyang City, and more than 500 of them were carrying wooden barrels filled with black powder.

The explosion effect of these black powders is not obvious, and the explosion conditions are too high, but it is not a problem to blow open the gate of the city in this cold weapon era.

"Soldiers, charge! For the great cause of the Jin Dynasty, for the glory of our children and parents, let's fight!" The soldier who led the vanguard to charge was Xue Rengui's deputy general, and he was ready to die.

Three thousand soldiers stormed Xiangyang City, as long as they could blow open the city gate, it would be their vanguard's victory.

"Shoot arrows for me! Shoot all these Jin dogs to death!" Zhang Fei roared in the city, ordering the archers to suppress the vanguard of the Jin army from a long distance.

Whoosh!
Hundreds of arrows shot at the vanguard of the Jin army, and many soldiers fell to the ground screaming in pain, but as long as they were not dead, they immediately got up and charged towards the city gate without pain.

"Brothers, let's fight today so that other brothers will not die because of the siege!" The lieutenant continued to encourage these brothers and soldiers. They are all elites and they are not afraid of death.

Among the Jin army, death in battle is not terrible, because each of their soldiers can receive a pension subsidy for their death.On the contrary, soldiers who are afraid of death will be despised by others, and eating vegetarian meals with corpses is the most shameful behavior in the army.

"Brothers, let's go together! Even if you die, at worst, you will be brothers in the next life!"

"Yes! Life is from the state of Jin, and death is the soul of the state of Jin!"

"Let's go together, I'll block the arrows!"

……

The soldiers of the Jin army were as crazy as chicken blood repeatedly. They risked their knowledge and rushed under the tower. Nearly 1000 people were lost during the charge.

"Quick, build the ladder! The kerosene is ready, and the black powder is also ready!" The lieutenant led the soldiers and rushed under the tower, immediately preventing the building of the ladder from attracting attention, and at the same time piled the barrels of black powder beside the tower.

Zhang Fei and Xu Shu couldn't see the city gate from their positions, they just prepared to kill the soldiers of the Jin army who charged up the tower.

"Kill all the thieves of Chu!"

"Don't be afraid, brothers, rush up!"

The soldiers of the vanguard army of the Jin State kept roaring and shouting under the city, but not many people actually climbed the ladder.

The soldiers of the Chu army on the top of the tower also had high morale. Under the mobilization of Zhang Fei and Xu Shu, they kept throwing flying stones to drive away the soldiers of the Jin army below the city.

"Huh? Why are the sieges so slow? Could it be a fake attack?" Zhang Fei, who had experienced hundreds of battles, immediately felt that something was wrong. The Jin army's siege was not fierce enough.

The ladder had already been set up, but few soldiers of the Jin army could rush to the top of the city tower, which was obviously due to lack of effort.

Xu Shu was also a little puzzled. He originally thought that the Jin State might use the Thousand Machine Crossbow, but now the Jin State is sending vanguards to directly attack the city.When the vanguard arrived at the city, it was impossible for Xue Rengui to use the Thousand Machine Crossbow, which would only hurt his own soldiers.

"General Zhang, do you think this is a feint?" Xu Shu didn't understand what the Jin army meant, let alone what kind of medicine Xue Rengui was selling in his gourd.

"Yes! This is a feint attack, and it is even less effortful than a feint attack! Why don't we go out and disperse the Jin army!" Zhang Fei shouted angrily, wanting to directly send troops to counterattack.

Xu Shu calmed down, and he hurriedly shouted: "No! Let's defend the city first today, the Jin army must have some kind of conspiracy!"

Zhang Fei also calmed down when he heard that Xu Shu disagreed with sending troops. He was just asking.The behavior of the Jin army is indeed very strange now, and Zhang Fei dare not be negligent.

"General, the wooden barrel is buried! More than a dozen soldiers are needed to stay and light the fire, so I will stay!" The soldier in charge of burying the black powder under the city gate was disheveled and had three or four arrows on his body.

Xue Rengui's lieutenant general was overjoyed. The burial of the black powder was so successful that the Chu army was not prepared at all.

"Okay! Fifteen soldiers who are seriously injured and unable to retreat are left, let's light the fire here! The others retreat, and the ladder stays here!" The lieutenant ordered the soldiers to retreat, and the other soldiers gritted their teeth, knowing that those who remained would die undoubtedly.

"Brothers, don't hesitate, withdraw!"

Although the other soldiers couldn't bear it, on this battlefield, no one dared to hesitate.The deputy general and a dozen seriously injured soldiers were left behind. They were responsible for igniting the black powder under the city gate.

"Huh? The Jin army retreated? Ready to shoot arrows!" Zhang Fei felt even more strange when he saw that the Jin army under the city retreated within less than a cup of tea.

Xu Shu didn't understand why, he always felt that many things were too strange today.

It's okay to retreat, and it's understandable to pretend to attack, but the Jin army didn't even take away the ladder, and many soldiers of the Jin army still showed sadness and fear on their faces.

"Military Master, why don't we just kill them like this! Even if it's these [-] pioneers, it's good to eat them!" Zhang Fei was very excited, and he challenged Xu Shu again.

rumbling...

Xue Rengui saw a white light suddenly appearing from the direction of Xiangyang city gate in the distance, he closed his eyes and squeezed out a tear.

"Soldiers, prepare to charge!" Xue Rengui gave an order, and rushed out directly.

With the power of black powder, it is enough to blow out the loopholes in the city gate, which is enough for a soldier taller than one person to pass through. Now is the best time to storm Xiangyang City.

At this moment, the city wall trembled suddenly, shaking Xu Shu to the ground.Zhang Fei reacted quickly. He used the snake spear to stabilize his body on the ground so that he did not fall to the ground.

"My God! What a situation, what a loud noise!"

"Has the earth dragon appeared?"

"No, the city gate is gone, the city gate is gone! The city gate has collapsed!"

After a loud noise, the Xiangyang city tower was completely changed, and the soldiers guarding the city discovered that there was a huge loophole in the city gate!
"What? The city gate is gone?" Xu Shu heard the shouts of the soldiers. He hoped to attack Xue Rengui's army, just in time to see them charging here!
"Zhang Fei, retreat quickly! Tell General Guan Yu to withdraw quickly too! I will organize street fighting to delay Xue Rengui's army! Go to Fancheng, and you must defend Fancheng to the death!" Zhang Fei abandoned the city.

"This... the military commander is careful, he must break through!" Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment, then rushed down the tower and mounted his horse to find Guan Yu.At the same time, he turned his head and glanced at the city gate, his eyes widened in shock!The two city gates were completely destroyed by the bombing, even if they were completely displayed.

"Drive!" Zhang Fei rode his horse and fled, leading hundreds of cavalry to find his second brother Guan Yu.

"Brothers, rush in and kill everyone!" Xue Rengui yelled angrily, and he is also crazy now, because this city gate of Xiangyang was bought by his brother in exchange for his life, so I can't let my brother down!

"Come on!"

"Make meritorious deeds, just today! Brothers, go!"

……

The soldiers of the Jin army became crazy one by one. They followed Xue Rengui's horse and rushed to the Xiangyang tower.

Xu Shu squinted his eyes on the city wall, watching the tens of thousands of troops rushing towards him, he just sneered.

"Han Pengju, you really have a trick! I really don't know how you blow up the outer city tower of Xiangyang. However, even so, it is not so easy for you to defeat me, Xu Shu! Soldiers, withdraw and fight in the streets! Golden lock array!" Xu Shu snorted coldly, and he directly ordered that the entire Xiangyang City be used as the formation of the eight-door golden lock array.

Xue Rengui led his troops into the city of Xiangyang, and immediately occupied the tower, but found that the tower and the city had been evacuated to be empty.At least there were no pedestrians and soldiers of the Chu army on the road.

"Hiss! This Xiangyang City is indeed a bit weird. All the soldiers listen to the order and be careful of ambushes in various parts of the city!" Xue Rengui can guarantee that there is definitely something weird in this Xiangyang City.Even if you occupy the outer city by yourself, you have to be careful.

"General Xue Rengui of the Jin State, my military adviser said that the eight-door golden lock formation has been set up in Xiangyang City. I don't know if the general has the courage to break through the formation!" A Chu army soldier walked out of the street, shouted at the tower, and then disappeared into the street. This kind.

Xue Rengui was suddenly confused, he took a deep breath, and felt that the city of Xiangyang was really strange.

"General, we have already broken the city, are we still afraid of the street fighting in Chu State? Give the last general three thousand troops, and Xu Shu can be found in a short time and captured alive!"

Xue Rengui narrowed his eyes and waved his hands to calm down the soldiers.

"Pass the order down, wait!" Xue Rengui didn't dare to be careless, he immediately ordered the soldiers to rest and occupy the square tower.

Half an hour later, Zhang Yun and Pang Tong led troops over, and they also occupied the tower.

"General Xue is really calm. The eight-door golden lock formation is Xu Shu's unique technique, and even I am not sure how to break through it." Pang Tong saw that Xue Rengui was as stable as Mount Tai after breaking the city, and he admired him very much.

After breaking the city, Zhang Yun kept persuading himself, rashly entered the streets and alleys of the city, and only withdrew after losing seven or eight hundred elites.

Although Xiangyang City is now surrounded, it seems that there is a monster that can eat people in this city, and this monster is called - Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation!

"Mr. Pang has won the award. There are strange things in this city of Xiangyang, and I dare not attack rashly. I don't know if Mr. Pang is sure to break this eight-door golden lock formation?" Xue Rengui narrowed his eyes and asked Pang Tong.

Pang Tong nodded. He was [-]% sure of breaking the formation, but he hesitated.

"The eight-door Golden Lock Formation, as the name suggests, has eight gates. The easiest way is to start with the eight gates being equal. The streets in this city are mixed, and Xu Shu will not be able to take care of himself. In this way, the eight-door Golden Lock Formation will be destroyed without attack. It is clear. Even if we had more troops, Xu Shu's Eight-door Golden Lock Formation would be nothing more than a paper tiger." Pang Tong narrowed his eyes, he didn't dare to underestimate the Eight-door Golden Lock Formation.

However, if this formation is arranged in the city, there will be great flaws.After all, the houses in the city were not built according to the eight-door formation, Xu Shu just improved the formation.In this way, as long as there are enough troops, Xu Shu will have nothing to do.
