On July 7, the second year of Jian'an, Kuai Yue led more than 40,000 main force up the Xiang River and advanced to the outside of Changsha City. He set up three camps along the mountain. The right Hebei outside the northern city was guarded by the vanguard Han Hao, and the left Hebei General Xiang Lang was guarded by Xiang Lang. Kuai Yue himself led the civil and military generals to take charge of the central army's tent and support him.

On the Xiang River, the warships floating upwards covered the once wide river surface tightly. Outside the city, the enemy camps formed a continuous and orderly siege formation for several miles, which was awe-inspiring.

On July 9th, Kuai Yue's army began to attack the city. A small team of cavalry was galloping in front of the army formation, stirring up rolling smoke and dust. The sound of rumbling horse hooves was mixed with the clang of swords and swords. Behind the cavalry were a large number of infantry wearing armor, with heavy steps and the same rhythm of armor shaking, like the thunder gradually advancing from distant mountains, rolling on the boundless field like unstoppable.

Apart from these, there was no other noise. The cold light of the long spears surged, and one or two broken cracks flashed in the long swords that were brushing in one go.

Through the slightly exposed gap, you can see that among the neat and strict soldiers, huge ships were shipped with ladders, bumping woods, fighting chariots, and a special siege chariot driven by four wheels.

The north wind is strong, and the world is stern.

The enemy's first attack was in full swing. On the left was the side of Han Hao and Xiang Lang, and in the middle was the main force of the siege led by Kuai Yue, with more than 20,000 people. With the assistance of various siege vehicles, it seemed that Kuai Yue had all his strength to attack, and his purpose was nothing more than to attack Changsha in one go.

I know that if I can't stop the enemy's first wave of fierce attacks, Changsha will really not be able to defend it.

"The enemy army is one thousand steps away from the city!"

"Five hundred steps left!"

"It's only three hundred steps!" The rushing voice of the commander and the footsteps running back and forth echoed in my ears.

Facing the enemy, I tried to calm my mind and stood on the city tower in a leisurely manner. Behind it was a handsome flag with the word "high" written on it. In this way, every soldier could see me when he looked up and knew that I was fighting with them.

I pulled out an arrow, licked the arrowhead habitually, put the arrow on the bowstring, and shouted loudly: "Arrowers are ready to fight!" Five hundred archers ambushed behind the battlements raised their arms slightly, and their murderous intent gradually became solemn...

"Speed ​​shot!" With a command, I loosened the arrow string in my hand, and the arrow flew out of the city like a meteor. Behind it, the rain of arrows from top to bottom exploded in the charge of Kuai Yue's army. The soldiers and war horses who were caught were ruthlessly swept into the rolling torrent.

Arrows were flying in the city, and enemy soldiers kept falling down, but they still charged desperately regardless of the heavy casualties. In the crowd of people who were fighting and shouting, I saw a familiar figure. He rushed in the front, waved a long sword in his hand, and was commanding the soldiers to approach the edge of the city.

"Wei Yan!" I screamed inwardly.

A ghost guy.

I gritted my teeth and reached out to copy the spear. This battle was destined to be another fierce battle.

"The enemy has crossed the moat!"

"Hurry up, get ready!" The general commanding the city headed the city shouted hoarsely.

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud "dong--!" sound. Stones as big as millstones fell from the sky, smashing the solid city walls into big pits. The huge rocks that fell directly onto the city were even more amazing. The stones mixed with powerful momentum were like shells, and they immediately smashed a large area of ​​soldiers gathered on the top of the city to defend.

"My army is approaching, and Changsha City is destroyed for a moment. You just keep your courage. What is there to show off? Who is Wei Wenchang? How can I be confused by your inferior generals!" Wei Yan's words were full of confidence. After saying that, he winked and a dozen enemy soldiers slowly approached me.

I touched the corner of my mouth with contempt and showed a smile, and used the same trick again! Wei Yan wanted to rely on the advantage of numbers to consume my physical strength, and I would never let him succeed this time.

I quickly captured the short halberd, took a deep breath, gently stretched out the ape's arms, and the body of the halberd was like an arrow from a string to take Wei Yan leaning against the city wall. The sharp tip of the halberd drew a perfect arc in the air, and broke through the air with my figure.

"Beware! General!" An enemy soldier standing beside Wei Yan, who was killed in blood, shouted and stopped in front of Wei Yan.

"Puff--!" The tip of the halberd effortlessly penetrated the scales on the enemy's body and penetrated the chest. The enemy's attempt to siege me did not expect that I would take the initiative and rushed over with my weapons.

Wei Yan is indeed very talented in commanding this group of soldiers who can protect him in such a way regardless of life and death. If he continues to entangle like this, the enemy soldiers under the city will take the opportunity to swarm up, and everything will be too late!

It’s a pity that there is not a strong brigade beside me like the personal guards led by Zhou Rui before, otherwise I could hand over these enemy soldiers to the personal guards and I could take Wei Yan directly.

Without thinking about it carefully, on the battlefield, either you die or I die.

The enemy soldier who was hiding behind the shield was shot by me and flew out in a brand new way. Before he could fall, I turned around and picked up the left shoulder of his right companion and the shield. The remaining enemy soldiers howled and slashed hard. Now that my halberd was not pulled out, it was a great time to attack!

The halberd was like lightning, and it changed from a thorny peach to sweep again. The strong wind slid across the waists of the enemy soldiers surrounding them like flints. Blood splashed out from their cracked armor. The four enemy soldiers swept down with all their strength. The waist and spine broke, and fell to the ground wailingly, and the encirclement was broken!

Until now, both sides were exhausted. In addition to the fight between us and Wei Yan in this place, Xu Shu also led his soldiers to fight Han Hao on the other side, towards Lang's side.

At this moment, Kuai Yue, who was commanding outside the city, saw that there was a bamboo plaque blocking it. He used a stone thrower to throw stones and killed our army with a stone thrower. So he changed his strategy and asked the operator to smash the huge rock directly into the city wall. Under the powerful impact of the huge rock, the already loose city wall was smashed into a collapsed gap. A large number of enemy soldiers rushed in along the gap when they saw that the city was about to break through.

Without reinforcements, breaking the city will inevitably be inevitable.

I made a gesture to the general who protected the flag on the city tower. According to the agreed in advance, after the flag guard waved the flag, a 200-man elite soldier would come to reinforce. This was the team I had set up in advance to prepare for reinforcements. I originally wanted to pursue the enemy soldiers when they began to retreat. Now the military situation is urgent, so I can only use the last mobile force to defend the city.

According to my opinion, the flag guardian waved the flags and spoke in a row on the high side of the city tower. The veteran Huang Zhong led this elite soldier. He would come to reinforce soon. I firmly believe that.

Time passed by bit by bit, and the battle at the city wall continued. From time to time, enemy soldiers screamed and fell down, but even the casualties of three for one were not afforded.

The battle situation became increasingly unfavorable, but Huang Zhong was still missing. On the contrary, there were sounds of shouting and killing from the prefect's mansion in the city.

The difficulty is that there is a change in the city. The more I fight, I become more and more anxious. Wei Yan shook his figure and kept wandering in front of me. Once I was forced into death, I was used to escape the shells and directed the soldiers beside me to act as cannon fodder. I was dragged here by Wei Yan for no reason.

"Brothers, how can you have a home in the city that is broken? Come and kill the enemy!" When I was anxious, I suddenly heard a young and powerful voice shouting.

More than a thousand soldiers in variegated clothes climbed the city heading along the steps and quickly picked up the weapons that fell on the ground and fought with the enemy soldiers. It was Zhao Lei who led more than a thousand Changsha soldiers to reinforce. After capturing Changsha City, relocating 20,000 surrendered soldiers from Zhang Yi's army became a big problem. If it was handled improperly, it was very likely to cause a mutiny. In this short month, I adopted Xu Shu's suggestion of differentiation and governance. While I sent back the old and weak soldiers in the army, I selected some strong men as reserves for transporting grain to repair the city, and commanded the Guihuan rank. Zhao Lei's troops were part of the latter.

Relying on the solid protection of the battlements at the front of the city and the rapid assault, the enemy soldiers who had previously scrambled to climb up the gap fell down the city one by one.

"Ah--!" An enemy soldier was shot through his thigh by an arrow by Zhao Lei. He screamed in pain and threw away his weapons and turned to the top of the city. "Hey! Another one---!" Zhao Lei, who was about to shoot another arrow, shouted excitedly, but he did not notice that an enemy soldier was approaching quietly behind him.

"Be careful!" I shouted loudly, and used a halberd as an arrow, shooting straight towards me like a meteor.

As I threw my all-out effort, the halberd was amazing. The enemy soldier who was sneaking into the back was penetrated by the tip of the halberd and walked straight forward five or six steps along the inertia, before he rushed to the ground.

The more than ten enemy soldiers surrounding me saw that I was so brave, and their faces turned pale. Although I had lost the weapon, under my aggressive gaze, they retreated repeatedly and completely lost the courage to fight.

The addition of Zhao Lei's new force greatly alleviated the shortage of our army's defense force, and at the same time greatly boosted the morale of the army. The soldiers were inspired by this and rushed towards the enemy who climbed the city without hesitation. The situation on the battlefield was suddenly reversed.

"Dang lang lang-!" A rapid sound of golden gongs resounded throughout the sky. Seeing that another attack was fruitless, Kuai Yue finally issued an order to retreat.

"Retreat!" Wei Yan hummed unwillingly, then flew down the city and fled outside the city.

Seeing that Wei Yan's troops, who were the main force of the assault, had retreated, they jumped off the city and defeated outside the city. Zhao Lei led his troops to chase him. I was afraid that Kuai Yue would have an ambush, so I stopped Zhao Lei and said, "General Zhao, aren't you supervising the grain in the west of the city? How did you get the North City?"

Zhao Lei took a breath and said, "People's coach, the soldiers in the city mutiny, and the old general Huang is leading troops to quell the rebellion. He asked me to come here to reinforce quickly."

"What, you said there was a mutiny in the city, what's going on?" I asked.

"I don't know much about the specifics--!" Zhao Lei replied.
Chapter completed!
