Chapter 103 Siege
At this moment, the allied army is marching. Niu Fu's army is in the middle, Li Jue's army is in the north, and Guo Si and Zhang Ji's armies are in the south. The four armies are heading to the east gate of Chang'an City together. Which of the four armies No one is trusted, so the end result is that everyone attacks together, the city gate is in charge of the Niu Fujun, and the city wall is attacked by the other three armies.

Among them, Li Jue had more than 4 soldiers, including 3000 elite troops, including [-] Feixiong troops. These people did not participate in the siege. There are more than [-] bows and crossbows, and nine out of ten of them are armored, which can be said to be the strongest force in the enemy army.

Niu Fu's army was next, with a total of 4 soldiers and [-] elite troops. There were eight siege vehicles in his army. These siege vehicles were not unique, but shared by the Allied Army. , ten catapults, more than a dozen chariots, more than [-] bows and crossbows, and eight out of ten of the entire army are armored, but the morale of this group is the highest, because their commander is the leader of the alliance.

Guo Si's army is located to the south of Niu Fujun, with a total of about [-] soldiers, including [-] elite troops, two ladder carts, eight catapult carts, about ten chariots, more than [-] bows and crossbows, and the whole army is armored. The rate is eight out of ten, and the morale is slightly weaker than that of Niu Fujun.

Zhang Jijun is located at the southernmost point, with a total of 2 soldiers, including 5000 elite soldiers, two ladder carts, seven catapults, about ten chariots, more than 3000 bows and crossbows, and the armor rate of the entire army Seven out of ten, morale can be said to be the worst among the allied forces, because they have been ridiculed by other armies before.

At this moment, Niu Fu is full of will. He never imagined that one day he would be able to command so many troops. He is riding a good horse, has a few generals by his side, and a barbarian, who should be his favorite person. Follow around.

I saw a scout coming from the side, and said to Niu Fu, "Leader, this place is about five miles away from Chang'an City, and there is not much difference between Chang'an and defending the city."

"Go to investigate again, and come back to report," Niu Fu said loudly.

Li Jue also received a report from the scouts in the army. He felt something was wrong. It stands to reason that there should be fewer soldiers on the city wall now compared to when he was defending. He had served under Huangfusong when he followed Dong Zhuo before, and he knew that Huangfusong was always cautious and unwilling to take risks, but just in case, he was going to discuss it with the leader.

"Zhang Bao, you go and tell the leader that the defenders in the city may have a different direction. You can let the troops rest where they are and wait for the scouts to confirm that there is no problem before attacking." Li Jue said to Zhang Bao. This Zhang Bao is not Zhang Fei's son. It is the captain under Li Jue's banner.

"Yes, General." After finishing speaking, Zhang Bao took a few soldiers to Niu Fujun to spread the news.

Although Li Jue said this, he did not stop the troops. After all, before setting off, the leader had already ordered that those who fled before the battle should be executed. as evidence.

Soon, Zhang Bao, a general of Li Jue's department, came to Niu Fu and said bluntly, "Leader, General Li sent me to inform the leader that he felt that there was something abnormal in Chang'an City, and he felt that it was necessary to keep the army on standby until the scouts found out. keep going."

"Li Jue couldn't be afraid. He is only five miles away from Chang'an City, and he can arrive there in half an hour. If the attack time is delayed because of his proposal of standing still, the defenders in the city will be prepared. , then what we have done during this time has been in vain, can he bear this kind of fault?" Niu Fu said angrily, approaching Chang'an City, but someone wanted to escape.

"Leader, the general just made a suggestion, and he is not afraid of the defenders in the city. Since the leader said this, I will go back and report to the general." After Zhang Bao finished speaking, he left.

At this moment, Niu Fu did not let go of his anger, but became even angrier, and said to the barbarian beside him

"This group of villains, Xiangguo was killed for no reason. As Xiangguo's generals, they don't think about how to avenge Xiangguo. Now they are about to reach Chang'an City, and they still want to escape. How can I do what they want. "

Hu Ren's real name is Chi'er, and he joined Niu Fu's account very early. Later, because of his eloquence, he made Niu Fu very happy, and was finally accepted by Niu Fu as a valet under his account.

"Leader, today is the time for you to show off your abilities. They are jealous of the leader's ability to command thousands of troops, so they say this. In my opinion, although the defenders in the city are no different from before, they must have been slack. When the battle is over, it is when the city is broken, and the leader's achievements will surpass those of the prime minister." Hu Chi'er said.

"What nonsense, how could my achievements surpass those of Xiangguo, and I will never say such things in the future." Niu Fu scolded.

However, Niu Fu's heart is already full of joy. If he can lead an army to break through Chang'an City, wouldn't it be more beautiful than Xiangguo? You must know that Xiangguo took Luoyang City only by coincidence, but he took it by force Chang'an City, how can this be compared.

Soon Li Jue heard Niu Fu's reply from Zhang Bao. He sighed and murmured, why didn't he fight for the position of the leader in the first place? Obviously, his power is the strongest here. But because Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, he voluntarily gave up the position of leader to Niu Fu, and now it's too late to regret it.

Li Jue has his own ambitions to conquer Chang'an City. He also wants to be the prime minister and rule the government. Although his troops are strong and strong, it is actually impossible for him to take down Chang'an City by himself, so he needs to rely on the alliance , although these allies are not very good people, at least the current goal is still the same, that is to take down Chang'an City.

Now that the leader has decided to attack Chang'an City, he will not stop it. After all, if the 13 troops miss this opportunity, they may not even have the next opportunity. Li Jue has already made it It is planned that if the attack on Chang'an City is unsuccessful this time, then he will go to the Liangzhou area along the way, surrounded by the princes of the Sili School and Lieutenant Department, the place of the Fourth World War is not suitable for his development.

Of course, Li Jue is not the only one in the allied army who has such an idea, and Guo Si is no exception. He was also born in the Liangzhou area and followed Dong Zhuo from the desert area. His troops are still dominated by Liangzhou soldiers. The number is not too much, but these people have nostalgia for Liangzhou. Apart from Liangzhou soldiers, Guo Si's other soldiers are mainly Bingzhou soldiers. This time they are mainly responsible for the siege.

"Your Majesty, the enemy army is still two miles away from Chang'an City. Your Majesty, are you really planning to leave?" Huangfusong asked again.

Every time the enemy army approached Chang'an City for a mile, Huangfusong would ask His Majesty the same question again. This was not because he didn't believe that he could defend Chang'an City, but because the emperor was too important, especially the emperor in front of him. He has already demonstrated his preliminary ability to govern the country, and he must be able to revive the Han Dynasty in the future, so he does not want to see any mistakes made by His Majesty.

"General Huangfu, I assure you that I will not leave here until the end of the war. Presumably, the general will not let me have any problems." Zhang Ming said, he knew that Huangfu Song was worried about him, and the arrows and stones in the sky It doesn't make sense, no one knows where it will hit, but the turret here is very strong, with many solid materials piled up on it, and several pillars supporting it underneath, unless the stones like raindrops hit it, the turret will not Anything goes wrong.

"Then I ask your Majesty not to go out. No matter what happens outside, it is too dangerous outside. If your Majesty wants to know any news, you can ask your people to pass it on to me. I will definitely inform Your Majesty as soon as possible." Huangfusong said.

"Don't worry, General Huangfu, I won't lose my life here. In the future, the Han Dynasty will depend on me to maintain it. The general must also pay attention to safety. In the future, when we conquer the rebels in the world, we will need to rely on the general." Zhang Ming said.

Compared with the previous news every half an hour, now it is every half an hour. So the closer to the start of the war, the busier Huangfu Song became. After he finished asking His Majesty, he started to organize the army again. fight in.

At this moment, apart from the sound of walking on the city wall of Chang'an, no other sounds could be heard. This tranquility did not make people relax. Everyone knew that this was just the tranquility before the storm.

"General, the enemy army is still one mile away from reaching the outside of Chang'an City." Another scout came in to report.

Without waiting for Huangfusong to give orders, the school lieutenant Liang Yan hastily walked out of the turret, and ordered the several visitors waiting outside to tell all the soldiers to get ready, and let the soldiers under him look for a nearby bunker and be careful Arrows and stones from the sky.As for the defenders on the city wall, they squatted down and leaned against the city wall to prevent being shot by flying arrows.

Before attacking the city, the army often uses catapults or flying arrows to destroy the defense force in the city. In this case, ordinary soldiers will naturally look for a safe location, which will lead to chaos in the city defense, and then decide to attack the city , the difficulty is much less than that of directly attacking the city, but it is still more difficult than when gunpowder was available in later generations. Of course, there is no such thing as gunpowder in this era, otherwise defending the city would not be as easy as it is now.

Of course, all of this can only be done with preparation. Like when Lu Bu attacked Lantian County before, the soldiers defending the city in Lantian had been lax because there had been no war in Lantian for decades. Nearly half of the soldiers defending the city were lost under the blow, and the rest of the soldiers were also in a panic. That's why Lu Bu's army easily attacked the city wall of Lantian County. Once the troops outside the city occupy the city wall, the entire city will be difficult to defend. .

At this moment, the enemy army has stopped 200 meters outside the city, and began to place catapults. These catapults are huge, and require the cooperation of multiple people, and also need to transport all kinds of large stones, so it is still very troublesome, but troublesome Regardless of the trouble, the power is really huge. It is said that for some cities that have been in disrepair for a long time, throwing stones can hit a piece of the city wall.

Of course, the walls of Chang'an City had already been reinforced during Dong Zhuo's reign. After all, Luoyang had been destroyed at that time, and Chang'an was the only capital, so Dong Zhuo had this idea. However, his reinforcement of Chang'an City actually strengthened him. The difficulty of attacking Chang'an City by his subordinates, I have to say, this is really a joke.

Soon, all the catapults in the enemy army had been installed, and Niu Fu just ordered the whole army to attack the city. Big stones were loaded on the catapults one by one, and several people pulled the ropes together, and then let go at the same time. Suddenly, the boulder jumped up and flew towards Chang'an City. Zhang Ming, who was in the turret, heard a booming sound. Although he couldn't tell where it was, he knew that the war had begun.

The second, the third, countless big rocks were thrown towards the city, and even the turret where Zhang Ming was located was attacked. The big rock was still standing still, except for being worried at first, Zhang Ming soon let go of his heart.

Of course, the range of the trebuchet is very wide, so more stones hit all directions. The city wall, the inner city, nearby houses, and military accounts were all hit to varying degrees. People who were directly hit by the big stone died. Even if it didn't hit, the huge sound was terrifying. In short, wherever the stone went, it was extremely tragic.

The enemy army outside the city had already organized the front troops to attack the city when the trebuchet was turned on. Except for the chariots pushed by the vanguard of Niu Fujun, the other troops drove forward with ladder carts. When the crossbowmen heard the sound of big stones, they stood outside the city wall under the organization of officers at all levels, holding bows and arrows at those pushing ladder carts and rushing carts. Each round of arrows went down, and the enemy pushing carts A few people will fall down, and the people following will take the position of the fallen people and continue to push the cart forward.

Of course, under the dense bow and arrows, some soldiers pushing the carts lost more than half of them directly, unable to push the ladder carts, so they could only hold the shields and wait for the supplies from the troops behind. The shield rushed up, and just like that, the front troops could say that there were countless casualties, and they barely pushed the ladder cart to the bottom of the city.

The city wall of Chang'an is much higher than that of ordinary cities, so these ladder vehicles are also specially built for this purpose. The top position of the ladder can barely reach the top of the city wall. Of course, when the ladder touches the city wall, the guards on the wall Some picked up spears, and some poured hot golden juice down. As the golden juice poured down, the entire ladder became extremely smooth, and the enemy troops climbing up were somewhat untenable. After finally climbing up, a spear directly stabbed down. The enemy soldiers couldn't control their bodies due to slippery feet, and rolled directly down the ladder, smashing several people down.

This situation also happened in other places. The enemy soldiers on each ladder were trying to enter the city with their lives, but in the end, only death awaited them. Some fell to death, some were stabbed to death, and some were stoned to death. die.
