Chapter 70 The Last Crazy (Part 1)

Fan Junzhang's army arrived at the city of Shenchi and began to bury pots and cook rice on the spot.

Fan Junzhang brought his personal soldiers to observe the defense situation of Shenchi City. He said to the generals beside him: "Fortunately we came in time. There were not many Tang troops crossing the Yellow River, which was amazing with two thousand people."

At this moment, a personal soldier suddenly said, "Hey, why hasn't the Shenchi City collapsed yet?"

Fan Junzhang said in confusion: "How can a good city wall collapse?"

The personal soldier said, "It's so good that the general knows that Xiaodi was originally a native of Shenchi. In the 12th year of Daye, the Shenchi rained heavily, and the city wall on the east was soaked by rainwater for more than a hundred steps. Guo Zhifang, the magistrate of Shenchi County, was a corrupt official. He sold all the glutinous rice he used to build, and it was already available. When building the city wall, he used rattan to program a fence wall and pasted it with mud. Not to mention using a catapult to bombard this section of the city wall, even if he stamped a few feet on it, it would be possible to collapse!"

"Oh" Hearing this, Fan Junzhang became interested and asked enthusiastically: "How do you know that this section of the city wall has not been renovated?"

The personal soldier said, "It's so good for the general to know that if there is no grass growing on the city wall made of steamed earth, the only part of the long grass in the entire city wall of Shenchi City is that it is not obvious?"

Fan Junzhang looked carefully and found that it was true. This section of the city wall not only grew grass, but also grew quite lush.

Fan Junzhang accidentally learned about this situation and thought to himself.

Now the Tang army has not yet established a firm foothold and is not clear about the loopholes in the Shenchi City Wall. However, when the city wall was first repaired, more than one person must have known it. If someone who had also experienced this incident told the Tang army general, the Tang army general would definitely find a way to make up for this defensive loophole.

Fan Junzhang immediately returned to the camp, and the camp had already started to eat. Some of the earlier soldiers had already started to prepare for rest after dinner. However, Fan Junzhang, who was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, immediately ordered: "Surprise the city overnight!"

In fact, the catapult is made of leverage principle and has no technical content. Fan Junzhang's troops have not built too many catapults. It is a coincidence that there are twelve of them.

The soldiers of Tianxing Army were holding torches, and thousands of torches were lit like fire dragons, swam towards Shenchi City with their teeth and claws.

Perhaps, Xu Jingzong deserved to be slapped in the face by Fan Junzhang. Xu Jingzong thought that Tianxing Army was tired from afar and would definitely rest for a night, so he started to attack the city early the next morning. So he took a beautiful bath and prepared to rest.

Zhang Huaiwei also took advantage of the inspection to make public and private use and gave a bag of jerky to the mother and daughter of the county government. At this time, Huang Bingwen, the county magistrate of the Genshin Impact Chi, committed suicide, Huang Bingwen's wife Yan and his children should move out of the county government government, but Zhang Huaiwei did not order anyone to drive away Yan's mother and three. Moreover, Zhang Huaiwei looked at Mrs. Huang, even a fool could see it.

As a veteran, how could Yan not tell that Zhang Huaiwei was interested in her?

Of course, she also understood that in a chaotic world, how could there be a way to achieve both worlds? Of course, it was not the Ming and Song dynasties at this time, and chastity was regarded as life. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty was the Wu Guiwen Guard, and the so-called Zhechong Mansion Commander was equivalent to the regiment-level officer in later generations. However, in this era, the Zhechong Mansion Commander was on par with the state governor. It could be that the regiment-level cadres in later generations only enjoyed department-level treatment.

Although Zhang Huaiwei had a bad background, he was now General Ningyuan and had also been granted a Viscount in Pingxiang. She did not dislike her as a second-married woman, and she was already very content. The man pursued a woman across the mountain, the woman pursued a man across the layers of gauze. After a while, the two of them actually accomplished a good thing.

Zhang Huaiwei was about to carry his gun and get on his horse, and he showed his mightyness when he suddenly heard a shout outside the door: "General, the enemy attacked the city overnight!"

Zhang Huaiwei was shocked and suddenly burst into tears. Zhang Huaiwei hurriedly got up, put on his armor with the help of Yan, and rushed to the city wall.

Fan Junzhang was very cunning. He deliberately attacked the east and west. He launched an attack at the same time in the west, south and north directions of Shenchi City. Thousands of soldiers held torches and shouted loudly. He could only ignore the east wall of Shenwu City.

Zhang Huaiwei didn't expect that Fan Junzhang's main attack was the East City Wall. He was actually more worried about the South City Wall. Last year, when Shenwu City was unblocking the moat, he piled the soil dug out of the moat directly on the bank of the moat, and used this soil to fill the South City moat effortlessly.

Especially when he saw outside Nancheng City, the soldiers of Tianxing Army poured the soil on the bank of the Huhecheng into the moat. Zhang Huaiwei hurriedly ordered bows and arrows to stop the soldiers of Tianxing Army from filling the moat.

The sight is not good in the night, and the archers' shooting effect is very poor.

Listening to the thumping sound from the moat, Zhang Huaiwei was very anxious and hurriedly transferred the fifth regiment to the south gate.

However, the soldiers of Tianxing Army held up shields to cover the soldiers who dug the ground and filled the river. Although the two regiments of archers shot volleys, they still could not suppress the Tianxing Army under the city.

Zhang Huaiwei thought of transferring the Third Regiment, which had not been in the enemy situation, to the two brigades. However, he didn't expect that as soon as his order was issued, Xu Jingzong ran to the south gate in a hurry.

"Emperor Zhang Dushi, the Third Regiment of Dongcheng must not be transferred here!"

Zhang Huaiwei said in surprise: "If you don't transfer the third regiment, will you let the enemy fill the moat?"

Xu Jingzong said with a serious expression: "Emperor Zhang Duwei, it is said that Tianxing Army came from the north, and it is more convenient for them to place their main attack directions in the East and North City. Why should they place their main attack directions in the South City?"

It must be a bit difficult for Zhang Huaiwei to consider this issue: "This..."

"If something goes wrong, there will be a demon!" Xu Jingzong said: "This enemy general will never be aimless."

The night was as dark as ink. At first glance, there were torches and heads. Many Tianxing Army soldiers under the city had placed the ladders on the surface of the moat to form a temporary simple wooden bridge. Dozens of ladders were laid flat on the moat, and then wooden boards were laid on it. The Tianxing Army soldiers couldn't wait to carry the ladders to the base of the city wall.

Some people kept falling down, and those who were still alive climbed the ladder to attack. The dense arrows grew on the city wall like weeds. However, the soldiers of the Tianxing Army still attacked without fear.

In troubled times, human life is actually the cheapest thing, either compared to ants or grass.

More and more Tianxing soldiers fell in the pool of blood. They gradually gathered into a stream on the ground of the south city of Shenchi and flowed into the moat.

The originally turbid moat has now turned into a river of blood.

At this moment, the city walls trembled slightly, and a dull bang sound came from the night sky.

Zhang Huaiwei said: "No, this is a catapult!"

"Hurry, go to Dongcheng!" Xu Jingzong didn't care and rushed towards the east city gate.

The stone bullet weighing forty or fifty kilograms hit the city walls of Dongcheng with a thunderous sound. Each stone bullet would smash the city walls that were not originally made of solid.

"Boom--" A muffled sound came from the direction of the entire Dongcheng city wall. Xu Jingzong looked surprised and sighed slowly, hoping that God would bless the Tang Dynasty.

The East City Wall was finally broken into pieces under the bombardment of the Tianxing Army's catapult. With more than 200 soldiers from the Third Regiment buried in the ruins, Fan Junzhang raised his horse and shouted: "Kill the enemy and serve the country, kill the enemy and serve the regiment!"

More than 2,000 Tianxing Army soldiers followed Fan Junzhang to Shenchi County.
