Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 208 Before Dawn
A few miles away, it will arrive in an instant.

According to the prior arrangement, at this time, Xu Fang should have led the remaining Tianzhu battalion to the front to meet Wu Sheng and others who were fighting fiercely with the city defense army in the city.

After all, the opening of the city gate is not a complete success, and it must be firmly held so that the new forces of the heavenly army can pour in, and the overall situation is considered to be settled.

It's just that after waiting all night, the depression in his heart was already accumulated, but Wang Zheng couldn't wait to vent his anger. After giving Xu Fang an order, he lifted the reins violently, only to see the horse neighing, the hooves kicking up the dust, but it rushed away like an arrow. go up.

Seeing this, although Xu Fang was a little helpless, the morale of the soldiers behind him was greatly boosted.

Since the first battle with Wang Ling, Wang Zheng hadn't rushed forward as the coach for a long time.

Although the suspension bridge and the city gate were lost one after another, fortunately for the Pengcheng army, the top of the city was still under control at this time.

In addition to the constant clamor and yelling, countless torches were lit, illuminating the city above and below it like daylight.

At this time, they also saw the people and horses in the distance clearly, and a Du Bodeng turned pale in shock.

This... how come there are so many people?

Burning with anxiety, the deceased could not be safe at the top of the city at this time. After thinking for a while, he hurriedly led the defenders to the city gate to support.

Nei Ying opened the gate of the city, and even put up a drawbridge. Although he didn't know how many people from the other side entered the city, Du Bo had already made up his mind.

It is necessary to stop the enemy's charge in front of the suspension bridge, so that there is still a chance to save the situation!
He thought so.

The suspension bridge is narrow, and the advantage of the enemy's large number of people can't be fully utilized. My soldiers are all elite soldiers. As long as they block the enemy's entry into the city in front of the suspension bridge, it won't take long. As long as those who deserve to be killed should be beheaded, Then raise the suspension bridge again!
With such thoughts in mind, the faces of this group of people were flustered, eager, and more resolute.

When they came to the suspension bridge, they happened to see a cavalry trapped in the battle, crossing the suspension bridge in an instant, and killing the generals.

It is Wang Zheng.

The third-level riding technique is fully urged, and it seems that the sitting horse has been brought into full play, and the gallop is so fast that it has drawn a distance from the soldiers following behind, and has become a lone horse.

"The thief is on the order, kill him quickly!"

"This person must be the leader of the bandits!"

Seeing this, the Pengcheng soldiers were overjoyed, and with the shouting, dozens of people surrounded them in an instant.

Suddenly, only a sharp scream pierced through the air.

But Wang Zheng sneered, flicked his wrist, and swept the horizontal sword, and saw the green light soaring, and the sword wind suddenly.

The next moment, countless pieces of gold and iron were flying all over the sky, and there were even more screams.

With one blow, he smashed through all the obstacles around him as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

"Cross the bridge quickly!"

While yelling and urging the heavenly army behind, Wang Zheng was a bold man with a high degree of skill. He lifted the rein, and the horse seemed to be infected by his pride, and it also let out a melodious neigh, and jumped up at the same time. Dash forward.

When the nearly one hundred Pengcheng soldiers in the formation were slaughtered by Wang Zheng alone, the Heavenly Army brigade also arrived one after another.

Amidst the howling shouts of killing, one team after another rushed into the city.

Before the sun came out, the outer city of Xuzhou had fallen under the joint efforts of inside and outside!

After capturing the outer city, Pengcheng's army organized several counterattacks, trying to take back the outer city gate, but it was a dream.

But Wang Zheng did not take advantage of the victory to pursue immediately.

For one thing, as one of the most powerful passes in the world, even if the outer city is lost, the Pengcheng army who is awakened at this time is relying on the inner city, and it is not a soft persimmon that will be defeated in one blow.

The second is that Wang Zheng has committed an old problem again.

Although Wu Sheng made a great contribution this time, he captured the main city gate and the suspension bridge at the same time far beyond expectations, but the price he paid was not light!

With five hundred Heavenly Executioners, more than half of them will be lost in this battle!

Wang Zheng was distressed, and after observing the situation in the inner city, he found that countless equipment and troops had been erected on the top of the city.

Bed crossbows, archery towers, and archers are all available.

And the most surprising thing is that there are trenches between the inner city and the outer city.

Is this a joke?
When the Tianzhuying cavalry entered the city and wanted to directly launch an offensive against the inner city, they immediately suffered a dull loss, leaving Wang Zheng speechless.

How can there be a reason to set up trenches inside the outer wall?
Unexpected situations happened again and again. The former was a surprise, but the latter was an unexpected surprise.

After this, my army has been rushing to the outside of Pengcheng since yesterday evening, and the cold wind blew all night. At this time, the spirit may be refreshed, but the body is actually very weak. Wang Zheng thought again and again, but he did not want to hesitate Damage siege.

Under such circumstances, the two sides held each other from the crowing of the cock until dawn.

During this period of time, the Pengcheng army was of course mobilizing troops urgently, gathering the strength of the entire city to prepare for it.

On Wang Zheng's side, the soldiers took turns to rest and fill up the trenches at the same time.

Of course, Pengcheng's army would not just sit idly by, and there were countless flying arrows, pouring down like rain.

At this time, I would like to thank You Heng again.

Before planning to attack Pengcheng, the original plan was to let Wu Sheng seize control of the city gate, and at the same time order the remaining Tianzhu camp to cross the moat. Put down the drawbridge.

No matter how powerful the Tianzhu Camp was, both Wang Zheng and Mi Heng felt that after all, 500 men were limited in manpower, and they didn't expect to win even if they crossed the suspension bridge.

In order to cross the river, Wang Zheng had previously prepared dozens of wooden boats, which could carry a thousand people in total.

Although it didn't come in handy when crossing the river in the end, it was useful when filling the trench.

When Wang Zheng had an idea, he asked the soldiers to hold the shield in one hand and a corner in each hand, and turned the wooden boat over. This overturning became a natural protective umbrella.

With the physical fitness of the system soldiers under his command, and the fact that the wooden boat was meant for temporary work, it wasn't too heavy, but it really worked.

When the sky was dark, even though the enemy generals on the top of the city kept shouting and the rain of arrows never stopped, but relying on this method, after several waves, there were no casualties among the soldiers who filled the trench.

After all the trenches were filled, Wu Sheng, Xu Fang and other generals who hadn't slept all night burst into laughter at the same time, expressing their admiration for Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng is not very proud of himself. When it comes to ingenuity and finding a new way, as a modern person, he is accustomed to thinking without framework, but he does have some advantages over the ancients who stick to the rules.

almost.

Looking at the sky, Wang Zheng was about to turn around and discuss with the generals about launching another offensive, but his footsteps stopped suddenly, and then his eyes turned to the inner wall of the city.

With his sharp eyesight, he immediately noticed that there was an extra person there.

Looking at his attire, could it be that he is the county lieutenant of Pengcheng Kingdom?

While he was thinking, he heard a shout.

"General under the city, no matter which vassal you are, just listen to the words of our school captain."

"Our Pengcheng city is strong, with sufficient food and grass, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Even if you let you sneak attack the outer city at night, it is still impossible to break through."

"The law of war says, ten is to encircle it. When you come from far away, the soldiers are exhausted, not to mention the number of people can be seen at a glance, but there are only ten thousand people, how can we attack the city?"

The general's voice was loud, after a while of analysis, he said: "You can't attack, why waste time?"

"I have discussed with the Prime Minister before I came here. My city is solid, but if you wait and don't retreat, it will inevitably disturb the people and make the people uneasy."

"I'm here to send a message. If you are short of food and wages, you should try your best to satisfy you no matter what you say. In this way, it's better to have the best of both worlds."

These words clearly called for the end of the fight, but secretly they shook the hearts of Wang Zheng and the army.

"What a load of nonsense."

Wang Zheng sneered, glanced to the side, and saw Xu Fang understood, walked out of the front of the formation, looked up to the sky and laughed loudly:
"A lieutenant of a country, speaking before the battle, thought that there must be a high opinion, how could he expect to make such a despicable statement!"
