The golden sunshine falls down and shines on the city walls of Chang'an City, embellishing this majestic and vicissitudes of ancient city with treasures and revealing an ancient charm that has been accumulated over the years.
On the tower of the city, the soldiers who stayed up late to guard the city stood crookedly with their heads lowered. They folded their hands on their chests, closed their eyes, and were immersed in sleep. These soldiers who stayed up to guard the city changed their guard late at night. After dawn,
, and waited for another group of soldiers to come and replace them before they could return to the camp to rest.
"Tap! Tread!..."
On the top of the city tower, a group of soldiers wearing armor and sabers marched towards them.
This group of soldiers came over in high spirits, and they were the soldiers who came to change the guard. As soon as they stepped onto the tower, they woke up the soldiers who were immersed in their sleep. The soldiers who were resting with their eyes closed saw the soldiers coming to change the guard, their bloodshot eyes covered with blood.
His eyes suddenly lit up, his energy suddenly became bright, and he quickly packed up his clothes and prepared to leave.
If there is no accident, they can get off the tower and return to the camp to rest. However, just as the soldiers on guard were about to leave, a loud roar suddenly sounded from the tower: "The enemy is attacking, the Xiliang army is attacking the city."
The silent morning was completely broken by this cry.
When the soldiers who were about to go down to the tower to rest heard this, they shuddered suddenly, and their sleepiness suddenly disappeared. They turned around and ran away, and immediately returned to the tower to assist the soldiers who had just changed guard to defend the city.
"The Xiliang army is attacking the city!"
"The Xiliang army is attacking the city!"
…
One by one, the soldiers shouted and passed the news.
In a short time, the news spread, and the situation in Chang'an City suddenly became tense. At the same time, the sound of war drums also sounded on the city tower, and the roaring war drums kept beating. This was specially used to convey news. When the war drums sounded,
When the time came, it meant that the Xiliang army was attacking the city. At this moment, the city tower was already in panic and busy.
Lu Bu never returned to his hometown and lived on the top of the city tower.
He heard the sound of war drums, got up quickly, put on his clothes and armor, rushed out of the room with Fangtian Painting Halberd, and ran to the city tower. When he came to the city tower, he saw the soldiers working hard to remove the wood.
When ready, he set up a large pot and started boiling oil and water. At the same time, he also prepared large rocks and other defensive equipment.
Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu fought hard, and there was a gap of several days without attacking the city. This gave the soldiers in the city enough time to prepare defensive equipment. Therefore, after discovering the Xiliang army, it didn't take long to prepare the defense equipment.
instrument.
On the top of the city tower, huge wooden logs are piled together.
Fires were quickly lit to boil the oil and water in the cauldron.
Lu Bu took a deep breath, walked quickly to the parapet, put his hands on the wall, and looked at the empty land in front of him.
Looking at the Xiliang army galloping in the distance, Lu Bu took a sharp breath. He saw rows of soldiers running continuously. At the front of the soldiers were a group of soldiers carrying ladders and giant trees that hit the city gate.
The soldiers, they were running fast, their eyes flashing with excitement, as if the wolves had seen the sheep and were salivating.
Behind the soldiers were generals such as Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and Li Meng. Behind them were the crossbowmen from the Xiliang Army. Behind the crossbowmen were tens of thousands of Xiliang troops.
Lu Bu looked at the hurriedly approaching army and thought to himself: "We're finally here!"
He knew that the Xiliang army would never give up, so he stayed on the city tower and waited for the Xiliang army to come. Although he didn't know why the Xiliang army attacked the city after a few days, it did not affect Lu Bu's patience on the city tower. He waited
Looking at the galloping Xiliang army, I sneered twice in my heart, with a look of disdain on my face.
He was not afraid of the Xiliang army's massive attack on the city. He was confident and capable of driving the Xiliang army back.
"Boom!"
Waves of muffled sounds came from far to near.
More than 50,000 Xiliang troops quickly approached Chang'an City.
Fan Chong was riding a sweat horse. When he saw the army within a hundred steps of Chang'an City, he drew out the sword from his waist with a clang. The sharp sword shone in the morning sun. He roared: "My sons, today
When the city of Chang'an is broken and Lu Bu is killed, the crossbowmen are ready and let go!"
At the command, the soldiers who were already holding crossbows stopped quickly, took out their bows and arrows, placed them on the crossbows, then aimed at the tower and shot the bows and arrows towards the tower.
"call out!"
"call out!"
…
Bows and arrows were shot out quickly, and the black arrows left blurry shadows in the air, followed by a shrill and piercing whistle, and shot toward the tower.
The sudden arrows caught the soldiers on the tower by surprise. Before they could prepare shields to block them, the bows and arrows were already fired. The Xiliang army did not use long bows to shoot arrows, but bows with poor accuracy and very powerful lethality.
Crossbows and arrows are fired very fast and hit the soldiers on the tower in the blink of an eye.
"Puff! Puff!..."
There was a muffled sound, and soldiers were shot by bows and arrows one after another.
Some soldiers were shot in the forehead by bows and arrows, and immediately fell to the ground, motionless; some soldiers were shot in the cheeks, shoulders, thighs, etc., and fell to the ground and kept hissing, but none of them were shot to death by bows and arrows.
Compared with those soldiers who were suddenly shot to death by bows and arrows, soldiers still had the right to struggle and scream.
Lu Bu did not expect that the Xiliang army would attack the city in this way. It was so surprising.
Historically, one of the reasons why the Qin State was able to sweep across Liuhe was that when the army attacked a city, they first used crossbows to suppress the enemy so that the soldiers could attack the city and easily seize the city.
At this time, Fan Chou used this method.
They don't have trebuchets to throw boulders weighing hundreds of kilograms to attack the city, nor do they have advanced weapons, but using crossbows to suppress the opponent and let the soldiers attack the city is a good way. When the crossbowmen continue to shoot bows and arrows, they carry
The soldiers on the ladders and giant trees rushed towards the city tower quickly.
At the same time, 50,000 Xiliang troops also began to rush forward, preparing to attack the city.
On the city tower, Lu Bu hid within the city wall and shouted loudly: "Quick, move the shield out, move the shield out."
Because they were shot by bows and arrows last time, enough shields were prepared on the city tower to guard against bows and arrows. After Lu Bu gave the order, soldiers came out soon carrying shields. Lu Bu gave a low drink, waved Fang Tian's painted halberd, and fired
He split the incoming bow and arrow, then quickly took a shield, held it in front of him, and shouted: "Pick up the shield, kill the enemy, kill the enemy!"
The crossbowmen did not fire for long and stopped after a while.
Because when the army is attacking the city, they cannot continue to shoot, otherwise after the bow and arrow are fired, they will not only kill the enemy, but also their own soldiers.
Outside the city, war drums rumbled and horns blared high and shrill.
Whether inside or outside the city, everyone is in a state of tension and excitement.
When Xiliang soldiers rushed forward one by one, Zhang Xiu, Yang Ding, Wang Fang and other generals did not rush forward, but allowed tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers under their command to attack the city.
A series of ladders were set up on the city wall, and the soldiers climbed up quickly and rushed to the city tower. Under the city tower, the soldiers carried huge trees and kept hitting the city gate, but the heavy and ancient city gate seemed to be majestic.
The high mountain stood still, no matter how the soldiers hit it, it still firmly blocked the Xiliang soldiers, making it impossible for the Xiliang soldiers to move forward. Lu Bu stood on the tower, constantly commanding the soldiers to resist the Xiliang soldiers.
"Quick, hurry up, pour the boiling water, and pour down the boiling oil and water."
"Use the wood. Quickly lift the wood and smash it down. Don't worry about it. Just smash it to death."
"Stone them, throw them with rocks, knock them to the ground."
…
Lu Bu shuttled back and forth on the tower, shouting back and forth.
As time passed, countless Xiliang soldiers climbed up the tower and fought hard.
Because of this, the crossbowmen who kept shooting out bows and arrows outside the city did not dare to use crossbows. At this time, the war on the city tower had become intense. Both the Xiliang soldiers and the soldiers responsible for garrisoning Chang'an City were all killed.
He opened his eyes, waving the sword in his hand, and kept fighting.
Puffs of blood spattered out and fell to the ground, exuding a disgusting fishy smell.
The light of the sword flashed, and the stumps and limbs were severed...
Roars, shouts, screams...
At this time, the city tower had become a hell on earth, and the situation was tragic. Lu Bu kept charging and killing on the city tower. His expression was cold, his eyes were like knives, and when he swung the Fangtian painted halberd in his hand, he would take away the lives of Xiliang soldiers.
.The sharp and sharp halberd tip had a harsh whistling sound and danced rapidly.
Wherever Lu Bu passed, corpses flew everywhere and blood splattered.
When Fang Tian was drawing a halberd to show off his power, there was a young man on the city tower wielding a nine-foot-long sword. The light of the sword flashed and emitted a cold light. The Xiliang soldiers who rushed up were hit by the young man's sword, but they were not seriously injured.
, that is, killed by a knife.
This young man is Zhang Liao.
His strength may not be very strong, but the nine-foot-long knife seems to be alive in his hands. He can swing it with ease. Every time the knife is struck, there is no thrilling momentum, but it is like a cook trying to untie a cow, and he can hit the most critical point.
This is where Zhang Liao is so powerful.
On the city tower, waves of Xiliang troops surged up, trying to occupy the city.
However, waves of soldiers came from the city to resist the Xiliang army.
Wang Can and Zhang Xiu stood side by side. He looked at the raging battle on the city tower with a solemn expression. Although countless Xiliang troops climbed up the city wall regardless of their own safety, the speed was still too slow and the supply was still in short supply. Because every soldier rushed up.
It takes a long time, and you have to face being hacked and killed by soldiers on the tower, so it is very difficult.
The fighting lasted from early morning to noon, and the Xiliang army still failed to gain an advantage.
Among them, the biggest reason is that Zhang Liao and Lu Bu were stationed on the left and right of the city tower, making it difficult for the Xiliang army to make a major breakthrough. Unless two generals rushed to contain Zhang Liao and Lu Bu, there might be hope. Unfortunately, Zhang Xiu did not
went to the battlefield, and the rest of the Xiliang army generals did the same, so they could only maintain the current situation.
"Dang! Dang!..."
Outside the city, the Xiliang army sounded the gong and rang the gold to retreat.
After hearing this, the Xiliang soldiers retreated like the tide and stopped fighting.
Seeing this, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao did not pursue the Xiliang soldiers who retreated. Although the two were highly skilled in martial arts, they had spent a lot of energy fighting for a whole morning and were somewhat exhausted. Lu Bu was doing better and could hold his arms.
Fang Tian painted the halberd and walked slowly, but the nine-foot-long sword in Zhang Liao's hand fell to the ground with a clang. He put his hands on his knees and gasped for air.
Lu Bu grinned and said, "Wenyuan, can you still hold on?"
Zhang Liao nodded solemnly, with a smile on his face. Just as both of them were smiling, the city suddenly caught fire. The fire was blazing, and thick smoke was billowing into the sky.
