The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 29
Jianping changed hands
Under the cover of this endless night, under the only glimmer of moonlight; Wu Ban's former army is almost one mile away from the city gate, and continues to advance half-squatting
"Enemy attack, enemy attack,," and someone on the tower finally found out; it can't be blamed that they mainly just left the city to attack the camp of the Han army, and they didn't expect the Han army to come under the tower so quickly. , completely reversed the situation of the battle.

"Chong,,," Since the former army had been exposed, the Han army began to charge fearlessly.

The distance of one mile was short, and there were nearly 200 people defending the city at this time, and the arrows fell sparsely on the ground; the former army had reached the moat, and they were preparing to cross the moat with ladders. With the light of the fire, the actions of the Han army were clearly seen, and the arrows were shot out of their hands without mercy, but the number of the Han army was far from being able to withstand the two hundred on the tower. It didn't take long for the Han army to set up the ladder They raised their shields and began to attack endlessly. The Wu army never expected to attack the city tonight, and the defense equipment was not complete. They saw a ladder on the wall, but due to insufficient troops, they could not resist them all. There are actually more than a thousand arrows greeting the sky.

One, two, three,,, soldiers of the Han army have already boarded the tower, seeing that the tower is about to fall; because Jianping City is located in the hills, the city is slightly smaller, and the reinforcements from the west gate and east gate are also at the key The time arrived, and the reserve troops in the city also began to approach this side, and nearly [-] more effective forces were invested in the defense, and the Han army in the city tower gradually became untenable.

At the quietest corner of the south gate at this moment, "The time has come, Qin Shan, take a few people up to check the situation." I saw that the person who spoke was actually Zhuge Qiao in night clothes, that is to say, Zhuge Qiao quietly led him. The 'Spike' in the dark came to this loosely defended area far from the siege position of the army.

"铛, 铛, 铛,,," sounded from the city wall, which was completely ignored by the sound of fighting over there.

A few black shadows started to climb up the city wall along the rope, and climbed up the city wall in a short while; I saw a person knocking on the city wall a few times, and immediately went "clang, clang, clang,,, "More than twenty ropes with steel claws were thrown up, and the wolf's teeth kept climbing upwards, and a group of Han troops suddenly appeared at a position of about 200 meters. The leader was actually Qin Hong. It seems that Zhuge Qiao It has been pre-planned; as long as Wu Ban leads the army to attack the city, he will lead his group of soldiers to sneak into the area that is not easy to be noticed, and give the enemy a fatal blow to the heart.

The siege battle at the south gate has entered a fierce stage. Due to the support of hundreds of reinforcements on the tower, Wu Ban's people can't attack the tower for the time being. If you don’t believe me, you can’t attack the little Jianping.” Wu Ban was furious as he watched the attacking soldiers being repelled wave after wave.

Just as Wu Ban had already crossed the moat and was about to climb the ladder, "General, the tower has changed," a general next to him yelled at him.

On the city tower; a Han army of about 300 soldiers suddenly appeared and rushed into the panicked Wu army, led by Qin Hong.Qin Hongchong was at the front, probably driven crazy by more than a year of training, and killed all sides as soon as he got close to the enemy. Wu Tong, Sha Qiong, Xue Liang, and Zhou Lin all entered the battlefield one after another in the back to lead this defeated team. Zhuge Qiao's army trained in a modern way.As soon as the soldiers of the two armies confronted each other, Wu Jun felt the pressure doubled. After all, this Han army had joined the special precedent of the two armies fighting in the training.

"Fu Qian, go and cut off the suspension bridge, Chen Qi and Liu Yu will follow me to open the city gate" Langya didn't participate in this kind of face-to-face fight, because it didn't suit them...

At this time, Wu Ban also boarded the tower, and the remaining Wu army rushed to the west gate. "Don't chase, accept the city as soon as possible." Wu Ban immediately gave an order.

"Who are you leading?" Wu Ban was surprised and delighted when he saw the Han army who had just appeared suddenly.

"General Qi, we are the generals of Chief Zhuge Tun," the man straightened his back and replied.

Wu Ban was startled. After all, Zhuge Qiao couldn't bear the responsibility of having an accident, "Where is he now?"

"You don't need to look for General Wu, I'm here; the last general didn't follow the general's order to stay in the rear army, and come to plead guilty." Zhuge Qiao cupped his fists and showed no expression to Wu Ban.

Seeing Zhuge Qiao walking slowly in black, he also understood Zhuge Qiao's strategy. "As expected, he is the son of Prime Minister Zhuge, a good boy with courage"

"The general has said it before. I was just lucky. If the general hadn't attracted most of the troops, how could I have succeeded?"

"Okay, don't be modest, you just clean up the south gate here, and I'll take the other gates." Wu Ban is also a straightforward person, and he led the army to leave after explaining the matter, leaving only Zhuge Qiao's troops.

"Qin Hong, immediately count the number of casualties"

"Qin Shan led his soldiers to search for any remaining enemy forces nearby"

After the order was given, Zhuge Qiao walked to a corner of the city wall that was still blue and white, leaned against the wall and sat down; looking at the messy corpses lying on the ground,,,

"Ten Commander, in this battle, 44 people were slightly injured, 12 were seriously injured, and 38 were killed." Qin Hong also reported the battle situation heavily.

'It means that after this battle, there are only 220 and eight people in my village who can go to the battlefield,' Zhuge Qiao sighed.

"Langya now has 38 people, and the other four teams only have 190 people. It seems that we can't always rush to the forefront in the future; we have to go to Liu Bei to get an official position in order to mobilize the army." Zhuge Qiao thought to himself.

And Wu Jun, who went out of the city to attack Zhang Fei's base camp, did not come back. It may be that he knew that Jianping had fallen and surrendered, but he left a body that could no longer move near the camp.

The next day, Zhang Fei led the army into the city, appeased the people and many officials, and began to count the casualties and killings of the previous night;
"General, of the 4000 people who ambushed Wang Jijun last night, we killed 700 enemies, surrendered 890, and escaped 520 people; we injured more than [-] people and killed more than [-] people;" Zhang Da calculated the casualties
Zhang Fei was delighted when he heard it, "Bo Song, you really hit the spot. Last night we set up a cover next to the gate of Daying, and we just waited for him to get in. I didn't expect him to come. Yes; I, Lao Zhang, lived too long last night, and I really didn’t embarrass your father; how about the casualties in Wu Ban’s siege last night?”

"General, 430 people were injured and 250 were killed in the attack on Jianping last night, but I don't know if they count as Zhuge Qiao's generals." Wu Ban looked at Zhuge Qiao after finishing speaking.
"Could it be that Bosong also participated in the siege last night?"

"General, you don't know something. Last night he sneaked out of the camp and came to my army. At that time, we were already close to Jianping City, so we didn't catch him back to the camp and let him stay in the rear army as a substitute. The result was He was the first to step up the tower, without him we don't know how much more casualties would have risen last night."

"Haha, Bo Song, you are really so powerful. It seems that my old Zhang has found a treasure, and I still have the same temper as my old Zhang. I like your temper."

"It's just luck to climb the tower. If it weren't for General Wu to attract troops, how could I have a chance?" Zhuge Qiao turned the conversation to Wu Ban. After all, if he didn't show up, Jianping would be captured sooner or later; Of course, the credit has to be greeted with a smile.

"Bo Song, are you still going to be my guard in front of the tent?"

"Of course I have to. Before His Majesty comes, I will be the guard in front of the tent to protect the general's safety." Zhuge Qiao said calmly. In fact, only he knows that the next battle will not be easy. Waiting for Liu Bei's army to come can make a difference.

"The army set out immediately and rushed to Zigui as quickly as possible; Fan Jiang left [-] soldiers to guard the city and guard the prisoners, and the rest followed me," Zhang Fei ordered.
"In addition, send someone to inform my elder brother to come directly to Jianping County to garrison troops," Zhang Fei said boldly, but he didn't know that after passing Zigui, he would encounter the enemy of the Shu Han.

Because Zigui County is governed by Jianping County, although Jianping County is said to be a frontier county, there are only [-] soldiers and horses. Because Zhang Fei was ambushed, Jianping's remaining [-] soldiers fled to Zigui. Before Zigui, there were less than [-] soldiers defending the city, so at this time, the entire army of Zigui was only more than [-] people. The reinforcements had not yet set out, but were waiting for the news of Zhuge Jin's peace talks.

Zhang Fei has already led more than [-] soldiers from his headquarters to Zigui.
