It was very unfortunate for the poor Zhao army in Handan. When the city tower at the south gate of Handan was smashed, their general Chen Ze happened to be in the city tower.

Chen Ze moved into the city tower because he listened to the advice of his friend Zhang Yan and the experience accumulated over the years of military career. In order not to be hit by the stone thrown by the enemy, he just saw the Han army start to throw stones. Chen Ze, who was carrying heavy responsibilities, immediately stepped into the city tower and hid in the city tower with certain defense to avoid bullets.

Doctrinalism killed people. What poor General Chen Ze never dreamed of was that because of the significant increase in the weight of the stone bomb, the primary target of the Han army's catapult was no longer the defending soldiers hiding behind the arrow bush on the city wall, but the conspicuous city tower that played a very important role in the city defense battle. The first round of volleys of the twenty-five counterweight catapults dispatched by the Han army were all the towers at the south gate of Handan.

Even more unfortunately, it was still behind. The first huge rock that hit the south gate tower of Handan was hitting the load-bearing beam of the tower. It also easily broke the beam with a destructive momentum, and then smashed through the floor slab and fell to the bottom. When the roof of the city tower that had lost its support collapsed, Chen Ze, the general of Zhao army who had just hid in the city tower, was buried alive.

"General——!"

Seeing this scene, none of Chen Ze's personal soldiers outside the city tower screamed and rushed into the outer wall that remained intact. They searched for Chen Ze. However, before they could see clearly the situation inside the city tower in the dust, two huge rocks flew over one after another, one hit the outer wall of the city tower, easily smashing through the wall and smashing into the building. The other fell directly from the sky, smashing through the remaining floors in the city tower again, and smashing into the already messy city tower, and smashing the two Chen Ze's personal soldiers who could not dodge into meat sauce.

At the same time, more huge rocks were constantly hitting the surroundings of the city tower. Wherever the huge rocks weighing about 150 kilograms went, they either smashed the Zhao army soldiers into blood and flesh and blood, and their bodies were sparse, or they left huge pits on the rammed earth wall or the ground. Several huge rocks directly hit the arrow bush, smashing the solid arrow bush and splattering the bricks and stones, smashing them away, and then smashing the Zhao army soldiers hidden behind the arrow bush to death or injury, and leaving a scratch gap several feet wide on the city wall.

The defenders of the South Gate of Handan, who were the first to be blasted, were in chaos because of this. The soldiers called the generals to roar, either ran to avoid bullets, quickly rescued their injured companions, or rushed into the city tower full of rubble and debris to search for their missing boss Chen Ze. Zhang Yan, the general of the Zhao army who had already gone down to the city, also risked his life and rushed back to the city to check the situation himself. As a result, after seeing the gap in the city wall smashed by the Han army's scattering machine, Zhang Yan was immediately astonished, so surprised that he even forgot about the big event of searching for and rescuing his friend Chen Ze. "What kind of catapult is the Han thief? So powerful?!"

Then, before the Zhao army soldiers took out Chen Ze from the pile of debris, the second round of stone bullets of the Han army's catapult had already hit, and the target was still the Handan City Gate Tower, which had not completely collapsed. The accuracy had been greatly improved. A total of six huge rocks hit the city tower. In addition to making the city tower even more severely collapsed, many Zhao soldiers who were searching for Chen Ze were directly smashed to pieces, and their bones were broken, and their flesh was blurred. At the same time, several large blood seeping pits were smashed on the pile of rubble in the city tower.

"Save Chen Ze quickly! You must rescue your General Chen!"

The order issued by Zhang Yan personally caused the poor Zhao army to suffer. The nearly collapsed Nanmen Tower was originally the primary target of the Han army's scattering aircraft. After too many soldiers were concentrated near the city tower, the lethality of the Han army's scattering aircraft also increased greatly. Basically, as long as a huge rock was smashed, it usually took away the precious lives of five or six Zhao army soldiers. At the same time, it continued to severely damage the already incomplete Nanmen Tower. In just a moment, the city tower almost completely razed it.

At this time, the Han army's catapult adjusted the angle and focused on bombarding the city walls on both sides of the south gate of Handan to isolated the city guards on the key points of the city gate. At the same time, under Zheng Bu's command, the Han army soldiers couldn't wait to carry soil and stones and fill the moat near the south gate of Handan. Although the Zhao army soldiers also launched a counterattack quickly, the feather arrows fired in panic were slightly and soft, and the effect was not great at all.

It was also taking this opportunity that the Zhao soldiers who insisted on searching and rescue finally found their boss Chen Ze in the ruins of the city tower. However, after the poor General Chen Ze was dragged out of the ruins, his body was covered with blood and dust, his left leg was smashed to pieces, and he was unconscious. Even the medical worker could not guarantee whether he could save him. Zhang Yan was forced to helplessly, so he had to ask someone to carry Chen Ze back to the city to rescue him, while Chen Ze's deputy Chen Kun took over the southern gate guard and led the Zhao army to resist the attack of the Han army.

It was still behind. The poor General Chen Ze probably had his life infringement of Tai Sui today. His personal soldiers finally carried him down the city wall. Before they could take a few steps, a huge rock fell from the sky and directly hit the stretcher where he was lying on, smashing his body straight into the ground, leaving a blood pit several feet deep on the ground! The personal soldiers around him were so scared that they rolled and crawled all over the place. After receiving the report, Zhang Yan burst into tears, "Brother Chen, why are you so unlucky?!"

The unlucky ones today are not only General Chen Ze who was killed in the Tai Sui, but also the Zhao soldiers who were forced to stay on the city to hold on. The twenty-five thieves of the Han army have been throwing stones at the South Gate of Handan from beginning to end. As long as the Zhao soldiers on the city are not lucky, they are at risk of being directly smashed into flesh and blood and mud at any time. Screams and screams are constantly ringing in the city. At the same time, under the continuous impact of huge rocks, the rammed earth wall at the south gate of Handan was also riddled with holes. The walls on both sides of the gate, which were attacked by the key, began to collapse gradually, and two easy-to-climb gaps appeared, which directly cut off the road above the walls on both sides of the defenders on both sides to directly reinforce the road above the city walls.

After all, he was a veteran on the battlefield. After gradually discovering that the Han army's trench plane was the wall section on both sides of the city gate, the Zhao army commander Zhang Yan quickly guessed the tactical intentions of the Han army, knowing that the Han army wanted to rely on the gap that was smashed to isolate the defenders above the city gate, and then cooperated with the ladder and the city-hitting car to attack the south gate and open the road to the city. In order to smash the dream of the Han army, Zhang Yan quickly made a tit-for-tat arrangement, asking the city reserve team to immediately prepare sandbags and earth and stones to block the city gate corridor when the Han army launched an attack.

After the Zhao army reserve team prepared enough sandbags and soil, it was already the time when they met Shen that afternoon. The Han army's catapult not only had two large gaps on both sides of the city gate, basically isolated the defenders above the city gate, but also filled a moat near the city gate, opening a stable road to the city of Handan. Then, the flags in the Han army's flag formation were waved, and twenty-five Han army catapults immediately stopped throwing stones. At the same time, the Han army infantry held a long shield and ran forward to form temporary fortifications near the city to cover the crossbowmen to shoot arrows and suppress the defenders on the city.

"The Han thieves are going to attack the city!"

The experienced Zhang Yan immediately understood the next move of the Han army. In order to prevent it, Zhang Yan immediately issued an order to let the reserve team in the city start carrying sandbags and block the city gate. At the same time, under the command of Chen Ze's deputy Chen Kun, all the defenders on the city also entered their respective positions. Zhang Nu took an arrow and waited for the Han army soldiers to launch an ant-attachment attack.

This surprised Zhang Yan and Chen Kun and other Zhao generals. After a while, after waving the flags in the Han army's flag formation, the twenty-five scattering aircraft of the Han army launched a stone-cattering attack again. The shells dropped directly over the walls of Handan and smashed into the depths of Handan's city.

Bang! After the Han army stone bomb landed this time, the sound made was completely different from the previous one when the stone bomb landed. The Zhao army soldiers on the city looked back curiously and saw that the Han army's stone bomb landed directly into a sea of ​​fire. The fire-covered houses in the city immediately ignited a fire. The Zhao army was shocked, and Zhang Yan even cursed, "Damn the Han thief! There are so many tricks!"

There is no need to be stingy. The incendiary bombs dropped by the Han army's trench machine for four consecutive rounds were all very expensive tung oil incendiary bombs. The burning tung oil and charcoal shots were blown away, and they could immediately ignite all the combustible substances beside them. The water was soaked, and even directly caused many Zhao soldiers who could not escape to them. They rolled all over the ground by the flames and howled wildly. The fires quickly spread everywhere in Handan City. The residents and defenders in the city were in chaos, and the morale of the military was greatly affected at the same time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Han army soldiers finally launched an ant attack, and dispatched three thousand troops in one breath, cooperated with the flight ladder and the city-killing car to directly attack the south gate of Handan. Another four thousand troops rushed up from both wings, using trench bridge vehicles to build bridges on the moat, and hit other wall sections to share the pressure for the main battlefield.

The gap made by the trencher helped the Han army soldiers. With the arrow rain that was rushed by the defenders, the Han army soldiers attacked with only one charge, and many soldiers rushed directly into the gap. Some people then directly rushed into the city through the gentle slope left by the collapse of the city wall. The Han army warriors attacking on the ladder also attacked the city one after another. Some people rushed directly above the city gate, wielding swords and axes to slash the defenders who were preparing to use stones to hit the Han army and hit the city car.

Of course, the Zhao army also resisted tenaciously. In addition to desperately smashing stones, gray bottles and other objects to stop the Han army soldiers and ants, they also desperately cut and killed the Han army soldiers who had already rushed up the city wall with red eyes, and fought with the Han army soldiers who were attacking the ladders through the arrows. At the same time, Chen Kun couldn't wait to mobilize the reserve team to go to the city to help, and try his best to protect the city wall positions.

At this time, the Han army's individual combat effectiveness advantages began to be exerted. Although the Zhao army was once the strongest among the princes outside the pass, after several splits and internal strife, the Zhao army's elite troops had already lost 70% and eighteen years. The remaining troops were generally newly recruits, and their combat effectiveness had been greatly reduced compared to before. However, the soldiers who launched the Ant Attack City on the Han army were all elite and strong soldiers, and their individual quality was more than one part higher than the Zhao army. Therefore, although the Zhao army resisted on the city walls very tenaciously, they still could not stop the fierce attack of the Han army soldiers. They were killed by the Han army soldiers who were as powerful as tigers and retreated one after another, and lost large areas of position space.

Immediately afterwards, the Han army, which had relatively slow movement speed, rushed to the south gate of Handan. Because dozens of Han soldiers had already rushed directly to the city gate, they were not hit by too many stones by the defenders, and they directly hit the Handan city gate. At the same time, the Han army's catapults were still throwing incendiary bombs into Handan City, desperately setting fire to disrupt the enemy, and sharing the pressure for the siege friendly troops.

"One, two, bump! One, two, bump! One, two, bump!"

Amid the slogans, under the impact of dozens of Han soldiers, the front end of the snail was continuously hit by the wood that was wrapped in sharp iron horns. First, it cracked the city gate, and then creaked the door latch, and gradually cracked. Although the Zhao soldiers inside the city gate tried their best to hold the city gate with their bodies, they still could not stop the violent impact of the Han army's car crashing into the city, causing the cracks in the city gate to grow bigger and bigger.

Perhaps because of a foreshadowing that the doomsday was approaching, the Zhao general Chen Kun, who was ordered to guard the south gate, mobilized another reserve team to go up to the city, trying to use the number of personnel to drive away the Han army soldiers above the city gate, and then smashed the city-killing car under the city with a stone. However, in the face of the tenacious resistance of the Han army soldiers, the counterattack of the Zhao army soldiers had little effect. Even if they hurriedly threw down a few stones, none of them could hit the city-killing car that could hit the Han army.

Finally, with a broken sound, the latch of the south gate of Handan was broken and the city gate opened. The Han soldiers cheered and threw down the city car and rushed into the city gate corridor, crazily slashing the Zhao army soldiers who were still carrying sandbags. The Han army reserve team behind them immediately charged and shouted at the already wide open city gate. The Zhao army soldiers on the city were in an uproar, and countless people shouted in despair, "The city is broken! The city is broken!"

Seeing this scene in the flag array located high outside the city, Zheng Bu, the commander of the Han army who had been sitting in the egg squid, jumped away immediately. He waved his fists excitedly, and then immediately ordered Zhong Limei to lead the army to attack. He couldn't wait to yell and ordered: "Tao Xi, Ni Ji, Fang Ziqian, you three, each bring 4,000 troops to set up defenses outside the three gates in the east and west of Handan. If the Zhao traitor army goes out of the city to break through, there is no need to show mercy. Kill me hard! The more you kill, the better!"

The three generals of the Han army, named by Zheng Bu, immediately clasped their fists and sang their promises, and then ran down to organize the army to attack. Li Zuoche on the other side smiled bitterly and hurriedly reminded: "General Zheng, the military law is correct, and the three are missing one. You should leave a way for the Zhao army to go so that they will not resist to the end."

"There is no need!" Zheng Bu waved his hand arbitrarily and said loudly: "The only purpose of our battle is to completely annihilate the Zhao traitor army in Handan City! Let's leave them a way out. What's the matter? The Zhao traitor army likes to resist to the end, and we will accompany it to the end! To pay more, I will also annihilate the Zhao traitor army in Handan City!"

Li Zuoche smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "Forget it if the person surnamed Mi doesn't leave a way out for the Zhao army, why don't the person surnamed Zheng stay? Who did the Zhao army provoke whom? Why do you like to meet these ruthless enemy commanders?"

Zheng Bu, the commander of the partial division of the Han army, was unwilling to show mercy, and the Zhao army did not intend to give up. After receiving the news that the South Gate was broken by the Han army, the Zhao army commander Zhang Yan did not think about giving up. Instead, he went out and personally led the reserve team in the city to launch a counterattack at the South Gate of Handan, and shouted: "I ordered the entire army to dispatch all the reserve teams to counterattack the South Gate of the South Gate! You must drive the Han thieves out of the city!"

One side attacked with all its might at all costs without any mercy, and the other side counterattacked with all its might at all costs without any concessions. The war near the South Gate of Handan naturally became extremely cruel. Amid the boiling shouts of killing, the soldiers of the Han and Zhao armies were like ants, intertwined with each other, fighting desperately in the streets and alleys of Handan South City. The spear and swords were taking away the precious lives of the soldiers on both sides. The steel knives, axes and long swords were also cutting off their arms at all times, cutting their heads, piercing through the human body, blood splattering, and corpses were lying on the ground.

From time to time, the primitive grenades of the Han army exploded in the dense crowd of Zhao army, and the fragments shot into the body at close range. Even if it was just ceramics, they could directly hurt people. At the same time, the high-heat fires injure people, igniting many particularly unlucky Zhao army soldiers' hair and beards.

There were coming and going, and the remaining Zhao soldiers on the city wall were also desperately throwing stone bottles at the Han soldiers in the city, killing and injuring quite a few Han soldiers. Fortunately, the Han army's ants attack continued, and the upper city corridor was also blocked by dense crowds, so this situation was gradually decreasing.

Zhong Limei, a famous Han army general who owed Zheng Bu's favor, gradually rushed to the front line. In order to repay Zheng Bu's favor and to make meritorious contributions, Zhong Limei, wearing steel armor, held a steel knife and rushed around the crowd of Zhao soldiers, just like a place where no one was. Any Zhao soldiers who dared to approach him were all in great danger. They were chopped down by steel knives one after another, and several were directly chopped off by Zhong Limei's heads. Inspired by Zhong Limei, the Han army soldiers also rushed even more fiercely and fiercely, helping Zhong Limei kill Zhao soldiers and retreat continuously and expand the position space.

The relatively weak combat effectiveness of the Zhao army was also magnified again, especially the Zhao army recruits who were previously recruited on the southern front, who were at a loss and frightened in the face of such a super-high-intensity street battle. The left-wing battlefield they were responsible for became a paradise for the Han army soldiers. The Han army soldiers who kept entering the city successively attacked the left wing of the Zhao army, successively occupying a large area of ​​position space, and then attacked the Zhao army's right wing who was personally responsible for Zhang Yan. With a storm, they killed the right-wing enemies who were fighting stubbornly, and were completely breathless.

It was at this time that the general of the Zhao army, Zhang Yan, finally had the idea of ​​abandoning the city and breaking through. However, the result of taking time to inquire about the situation outside the city naturally surprised Zhang Yan - the Han army actually established a blocking position outside the other three gates of Handan early, ready to intercept the defeated soldiers who left the city at any time!

Unexpectedly, the Han army would take such a ruthless action. After his face turned pale again, Zhang Yan could only make up his mind. In addition to ordering his direct army to guard the city gate and kill any generals who dared to open the city gate to escape privately, he shouted: "The news of blocking the three gates of the Han thieves spread throughout the army, telling us that leaving the city is a dead end now! Only by persevering and sticking until it is dark can we have hope of breaking out of the city!"

It is useless to yell. The Zhao army was already very chaotic at this moment. The houses and streets in the city caught countless fires. It is even more difficult for the Zhao army to communicate with each other. Therefore, no matter how hard Zhang Yan's personal soldiers tried to pass the orders, they could not pass all Zhang Yan's orders to the position. Moreover, even the generals of the Zhao army who had received the orders were unable to convey Zhang Yan's request to all their subordinates. The chaos in the Zhao army was also intensifying, and there was also a situation where grassroots generals led their troops and teams to surrender. The Han army entered the city continuously strengthened their attacks and desperately eliminated and captured the enemies in the city.

That's not all. When the sun sets, the Han army entered the city had advanced to the central area of ​​Handan City, opening up enough space for advancement. Zheng Bu, the commander of the Han army's partial division, was itchy, and he simply handed over the command of the army outside the city to Guan Ying, and personally led the Han army into Handan City. As a result, seeing the flag of the commander of the self-soldier army entering the city, the Han army soldiers were of course cheering and their morale increased significantly. However, the Zhao army was in a turmoil and their morale was even worse.

However, there were also unhappy people among the Han army soldiers. When they saw Zheng Bu personally leading his army into the city, at least Zhonglimei jumped and waved the bloody steel knife that was already full of gaps and shouted: "Brother Zheng, if you have you, as the chief general, come to compete with me for me! Brothers, kill me! You must kill Zhang Yan's husband with your own hands!"

"Soldiers, follow me! Kill Zhang Yan's husband and annihilate the Zhao traitor army!" Zheng Bu also waved his sword and yelled at the same time.

"The one who robs me of credit is here! I'll give it to me! I don't want to be in vain, so I'll give it to me!"

At the same time, another Han army general Gongsun Tong was also sent. In order not to let the credit be taken away by his boss, Gongsun Tong rushed to the front line and personally led the army to fight. Because of his advantage in terms of distance, he took the lead in destroying the Zhao army led by Zhao general Fan Ao, and cut down Fan Ao's head in the melee. Fan Ao's army, whose recruits accounted for more than 80% of them, completely collapsed, and most of the surrendered ones were.

Zhang Yan on the other side could not support him at all. On the front, Zhong Li Mei led the army to attack like a chicken blood. Behind him, Zheng Bu, the leader of the Han army, led the army to fight. The spearheads were all pointed at Zhang Yan's flag. He knew that delaying would definitely be a dead end, and he had no choice but to quickly order the north gate of Handan and take the remaining troops out of the city to break out of the siege and escape.

Three tigers seized food, and jackals picked up the wolves. Seeing that the Zhao army fled out of the city and won the victory of the swordsaw. Ni Ji, the Han army general who guarded the North Gate Road, was calm and cunning. He did not rush to urge the army to come forward to stop it. Instead, he asked his army to prepare for charge. First, he allowed the Zhao army to escape from the two wings of his own position. Anyway, the Han cavalry led by Guan Ying were still guarding outside the city, so there was no need to worry about how many defeated Zhao troops could escape. Then, when Zhang Yan's flag rushed to the moat bridge, Ni Ji decisively led the army to launch a charge and rushed towards Zhang Yan's flag with a storm.

There was no suspense. The Han army outside the city, who had been preparing for a long time, completely defeated the Zhang Yan's personal army who had rushed out of the city. Like a tide, it quickly submerged Zhang Yan's flag. Seeing that the situation was so strong, the poor General Zhang Yan wanted to surrender, but he had just dropped his weapon. Before he could even shout for surrender, Ni Ji had already emerged from behind the Han army soldiers who were rushing in the front and slashed him on the neck without hesitation!

The bloody flowers rushed up and the head fell to the ground! It was straightforward and clear, without any drag!

“Beautiful job!”

This is when Ni Ji personally ran to Zheng Bu to ask for me with Zhang Yan's head, Zheng Bu praised him with great force. After patting Ni Ji's shoulder hard, Zheng Bu said with a smile: "Still on, when fighting Julu, Brother Ni, you are the vanguard of the siege, and you are responsible for leading troops to fight ants. You must be the first to rush up to the Julu wall!"
Chapter completed!
