Chapter 71: The Strange Siege War
"General, I am willing to lead an army of 20,000 to attack the city. If I cannot attack the city gate, I am willing to die to apologize!"
Upon hearing this answer, Zhang Yu, who looked gloomy and ferocious, burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, okay... isn't that right? Since you have already rebelled, let's just make it complete.
When reinforcements from Mobei arrive, the entire northern territory will be ours, and I will never treat you badly when the time comes. "
The extremely happy laughter fell, and Zhang Yu immediately looked at the other ten thousand captain on the right.
"Peng Yu, you lead 20,000 troops to Pingchang to attack the city. Remember, you must capture the North Gate no matter what."
"I will obey your orders!"
After hearing Zhang Yu's arrangement, Ji Pingchang secretly sneered.
This guy is really defensive about himself.
However, this arrangement just gave me a chance to surrender.
Time was running out, and after Zhang Yu quickly made arrangements, he immediately asked Ji Pingchang and Peng Yu to lead an army of 20,000 to the north gate.
Seeing that this time there were actually 20,000 troops charging towards them.
Lu Fan suddenly frowned, a trace of doubt emerged in his heart, and he subconsciously looked at Jiang Shang.
And Jiang Shang also looked at him: "My lord, the commander of these 100,000 Zhenbei Army seems to...seems to be deliberately letting these Zhenbei Army die!"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Qiong, Xia Houwei and Luo Cheng all nodded in agreement.
"My lord, the general also has such speculation."
"It's impossible for the enemy general not to see that the North Gate is difficult to capture, especially after losing two captains of ten thousand men one after another, but he still chose to attack the city. This is very unreasonable."
Qin Qiong and the other three spoke one after another, and Lu Fan frowned even more.
That was the doubt in his mind.
Although it was his first time to participate in a war, he still knew what he could and could not do.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, he still let his soldiers attack the city even though he knew that he couldn't do anything. This was very unconventional.
However, at this moment, an army of 20,000 people had already charged towards them, and Lu Fan could only suppress the doubts in his heart and shouted in a deep voice:
"Get ready to kill the enemy!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qiong, Xia Houwei and Luo Cheng immediately flew to different areas of the North City Wall.
The number of guards was too small to guard the entire city wall, so the three of them could only take action.
Combined with the power of defending the city, the three of them are enough to equal 30,000 troops.
As long as the other party doesn't send out top experts to entangle them, it's a complete fantasy to capture the city wall.
Looking at the 20,000 troops getting closer and closer to the city wall, Jiang Shang pondered and said:
"Lord, do you want the Golden Fire Cavalry to be dispatched?"
"No!" Lu Fan shook his head and refused, "Now that we have a complete advantage in defending the city, there is no need to dispatch the Golden Fire Cavalry."
Having said this, Lu Fan raised his head and looked in the direction of the Zhenbei Army camp, and said with deep eyes:
"I want to see if this left general of Zhenbei Army dares to rebel!"
Zhang Yu is the right general of the Zhenbei Army, and it is impossible for Gu Tiefeng, the left general, to not understand him.
No matter how well Zhang Yu hides it, there will definitely be some holes left.
If Gu Tiefeng was just a rough guy, it would be understandable that he didn't understand him.
But alas he is not.
Moreover, the 100,000 Zhenbei Army retreated from the defense line on the south side of Beimang Mountain to attack Hanyang City here.
It was even more impossible for Gu Tiefeng not to know about such a huge movement.
"Lord, if..." Jiang Shanggang wanted to say something, but after saying four words, he still didn't say it.
But Lu Fan understood what he meant.
But Lu Fan didn't say anything at this moment. He just took a deep look in the direction of the Zhenbei Army camp and then turned his gaze to the front again.
At this moment, dozens of flames suddenly shot into the sky in Hanyang City.
As the fire broke out, loud shouts of killing suddenly came from the northern area of the city.
"Kill..."
Such changes in the city made Lu Fan turn around and come to the edge of the city wall facing the city.
Looking at the dozens of fires that broke out in the city, Lu Fan's eyes exuded a cold light.
"Let's make chaos. If you want chaos, make it a complete mess!"
Lu Fan was not surprised by the changes that occurred in the city, and it was even within his expectations.
After taking a cold look at the changes taking place in the city, Lu Fan looked at Lu Chuan beside him and said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry about the changes in the city. Anyone who approaches or sets foot on the War Preparation Square without any reason will be killed without mercy!"
"promise!"
After receiving the order, Lu Chuan quickly left the city wall and headed to the preparation square below.
The Golden Fire Cavalry in the square was still quiet and did not make any sound.
As if the changes in the city and the fighting in the siege had nothing to do with them, their expressions were extremely calm and indifferent.
This is the Golden Fire Cavalry.
Once they move out, they are crazy hungry wolves; if they don't move, they are just sculptures.
When Lu Fan returned to the edge of the city wall facing the outside of the city, 20,000 troops had already reached the city.
The three of Qin Qiong and the guards on the city wall were also ready to continue the massacre.
As for the more than 6,000 Zhenbei troops who had just surrendered, they had already hid far away in the rightmost corner of the northern city wall.
At this moment, they could not enter the city, nor could they start a war with these companions.
So Lu Fan just asked them to stand aside and watch, so as to reduce casualties.
After all, these will be your own soldiers from now on. If you can, die as little as possible.
Just when everyone thought the crazy siege battle would continue.
Ji Pingchang, who rushed to the city, suddenly jumped up from his horse, drew his sword with a clang and slashed at Peng Yu who was standing side by side.
Peng Yu, who had been prepared for this, laughed grimly: "Ji Pingchang, you really want to be a traitor, I have been on guard against you."
While laughing grimly, Peng Yu also drew his sword at the same time to meet Ji Pingchang's attack.
In an instant, the two swords collided with each other.
Ding!
The two swords collided, making a harsh sound of metal collision and a series of sparks.
Seeing that the two captains leading them suddenly started fighting each other, the 20,000 Zhenbei Army who rushed to the city were stunned.
Lu Fan, Qin Qiong and others on the city wall saw this dramatic scene, and their faces also showed extremely strange expressions.
"What's going on?"
Originally, the siege battle that was thought to be tragic and difficult was beyond everyone's expectations again and again.
A hundred thousand troops faced more than 2,800 guards, but it turned out like this.
Even if a hundred thousand mobs rushed to kill, they could easily capture Hanyang City, not to mention the hundred thousand elite Zhenbei Army.
All of this is weird!
"My Lord, what is going on?" Even Jiang Shang, who is full of strategies, is puzzled at this moment.
He has no idea what the other commander is doing.
Just as Ji Pingchang and Peng Yu were fighting, more than a dozen centurions of the 20,000-man army waved their swords and shouted:
"Everyone listen to the order, continue to attack the city, and those who disobey the order will be killed!"
The 20,000 troops, which were originally in a mess, immediately started a new round of siege after receiving the military order.
"Kill!"
Another round of attack and defense began, and the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army who attacked the city died under the city wall one after another.
Lu Fan stared at the dozen centurions who had just shouted...
