Chapter 82: Cracking Xingyang

The Wudang Flying Army gradually approached Xingyang City.

On the city, Cao's army had already rushed to the city tower, and the archers were in place at the fastest speed. However, the weapons prepared for defending the city in Xingyang City were not so complete, and there were not many prepared for rolling wood and stones, and the equipment to defend the city was also insufficient.

"General, I will help you down." Le Feng of the guards said.

"Wait, let's see who is coming first." Le Feng said softly.

Finally, the Wudang Feijun came close to him. Leju stood on the city tower and looked calmly at the Wudang Feijun below.

"These people are so weird. What are they wearing? They seem to be weaving straw." Le Feng had never seen the vine armor, so he couldn't recognize the vine armor worn by Wudang Feijun.

"General, look!" The guard next to him pointed and saw a big banner that had been beaten out.

"General Zhendong of Han, Zhang!" Le Feng did not wrinkle, recalled the information about Shu Han officials in his mind, and then said: "If I remember correctly, General Zhendong should be Zhang Ren."

"Zhang Ren, that's a general in Shu!"

"Yes, I heard that in recent years, Zhang Ren has been in Chengdu, why did he come here?"

Le Guan looked at the flying army without dignity, and then looked at Zhang Ren's handsome flag, but his heart was full of doubts and shock.

Xingyang is surrounded by the territory of the Wei army, how could the Han army suddenly appear in Xingyang? Could it be that Cao Zhen was defeated in front?

Then Le Xi shook his head. There were so many people under Cao Zhen's command that it was impossible to lose. Even if Cao Zhen was defeated, Xingyang should have seen Cao Zhen's defeated army first and then saw the Shu army.

"Are these Han troops taking a detour? Is it Wang Ling from Hedong or Xiahou Ba from Yingchuan? Which side did something wrong that made Zhang Ren reach Xingyang?" Le Feng's heart was shrouded in his heart.

Judging from the formation of the Han army opposite, the number of opponents is about 30,000. If the number of people in Xingyang City is equipped with all the weapons to defend the city, it can still be carried for a while. However, Xingyang does not have many weapons to defend the city now. Not to mention the wooden, stone crossbow chariots, etc., it is just an arrow that can at most give each archer a pot.

There are too few arrows and they are not enough to consume. This little arrow can only last a charge.

Le Feng took a deep breath, calmed down slowly, and then carefully observed the Wudang Feijun in front of him.

"Hey, I feel like something is missing..." Le Feng felt something was wrong with Wudang Feijun on the opposite side.

After a long time, Le Fei finally found that there was not a single war horse among the Wudang flying army opposite!

"How could there be no horses? Thirty thousand people, not even a war horse!" After realizing this, Le Feng looked at the Wudang Fei Army ahead in surprise. With the 30,000 people, with a general like Zhang Ren, there was not even a war horse. Even the peasant army that had the Yellow Turban Rebellion before should be more generous than this. In addition to the straw-woven vine armor, Le Feng even thought that he had encountered some bandits and bandits.

But looking at the bright weapons, the strong soldiers, and the Han army flag floating on it, he told Le Guan that the Han army in front of him was indeed the Han army, and it was definitely not a miscellaneous soldier.

Faced with the pressure brought by the 30,000 Han troops in front of him, the hand of a Cao army next to him began to shake.

"Don't worry, look at these Han troops, there is not even a single horse, let alone any siege weapons. The walls of our Xingyang are several feet high, and without siege weapons, they can't get on the wall at all. General Cao Zhen's army is in Luoyang and will soon be able to support us. We only need to hold on for a day or two." Le Jin said immediately.

"You are right, General Le Chi is right. Don't be afraid, they can't get up to the city wall."

"Yes, the general is in Luoyang!"

"Yes, the general will be back soon..."

The morale of Cao's army increased a lot in this moment.

...

Under the city, Zhang Ren looked at the city walls of Xingyang.

"Samoke, is the rope long enough?" Zhang Ren asked.

"Don't worry, General, the ropes have been prepared long ago and will definitely be able to hang onto the Xingyang city wall." Shamoke said immediately.

"Okay!" Zhang Ren nodded, then pointed to Xingyang City in front of him, and continued, "Soldiers, you are all warriors of the Wudang Flying Army. You can climb the cliffs that are dozens of feet high on weekdays. Do you have the confidence to climb up this mere Xingyang City?"

"Yes!" Wudang Feijun shouted in unison.

"Okay, men, make achievements, and then you will rush!" Zhang Ren waved his weapons, and the Wudang Flying Army rushed to Xingyang City like a tide.

...

"This..." Le Feng was slightly stunned: "What's going on? What's the matter with Han Jun doing? He rushed up like this, without even a ladder. Do you want to climb up with your body?"

"General, what are they doing?"

"Don't worry, take a look first. I don't believe they can climb Xingyang City without a ladder." A sharp look flashed in Le Feng's eyes.

The Han army rushed to the city of Xingyang and saw several tall Han soldiers in front of them suddenly pulling out a long rope from behind, with a barb on the head of the rope.

"Swish swish swish swish..." Several ropes were hooked on the battlements. Then, several strongest Wudang Flying Army quickly climbed the rope and climbed up Xingyang City.

It is undoubtedly a very unwise thing to climb the city with only ropes. First, relying solely on ropes requires good strength and the climbing speed is not as fast as a ladder; secondly, ropes are not strong and can be cut off with just one knife, so in the siege battles of all dynasties, no one would use ropes to attack the city.

"Imagination, hurry up, cut off the rope!" Le Jing shouted.

The Cao army next to him immediately rushed forward and slashed at the rope hooked on the battlements with a knife.

"Yes..." several loud noises.

"General, you can't cut."

"General, we can't cut it here too."

"What? It's not possible. I'll come in person!" Le Jo said as he was about to rush forward, and then the wound was pulled. Le Jo grinned and had to stop.

Under the city, Zhang Ren had a smug smile on his face. The appearance of these ropes looks no different from ordinary hemp ropes, but they are all made of extremely thin rattan strips. Unless they are sharp blades of magic weapons, they will be cut continuously. Of course, rattan ropes also have the same disadvantage as rattan armor, that is, they are afraid of fire.

Wudang Feijun was busy siegeing the city. When facing the ropes, Le Yun thought of the first thing he thought of was to use a knife instead of burning it with fire, so after a few slashes, he didn't even cut off a rope.

The Wudang Feijun climbed up quickly. These Wudang Feijun soldiers who climbed the city were no problem climbing cliffs on weekdays. Now, the speed of climbing the city is very fast. The Wudang Feijun soldiers climbed up like strong apes, and in a blink of an eye, they climbed half of the distance.

Although Leju didn't know why these ropes could not be cut off, the climbing speed of Wudang Feijun scared Leju. These people climbed too fast.

"Hurry, shoot arrows!" Leju shouted.

"Swoosh swish swish swish..." The archer bent his bow and arrowed, and several cold lights flashed by, and the sharp arrows rushed towards Wudang Feijun who was climbing the city wall.

Several arrows were nailed straight to the Wudang Feijun Pancheng, but the Wudang Feijun did not do anything to avoid it, but continued to rush up.

"Bao, babe..." The arrow fell on the vine armor and was immediately bounced away.

"Ah, what's going on?" Le Yun widened his eyes, the ropes were chopping, and the arrows could not stop Wudang's flying army from continuing to climb upwards.

Finally, the first soldier from Wudang Feijun jumped over the city tower.

"Kill!" Three Cao soldiers rushed over immediately, swung their spears, and stabbed the soldier of the Wudang Flying Army.

"Drink!" The Han army ignored the spear that was attacking, but waved a knife and swept out a piece of space. Another Han army rushed to the city building.

"Pu..." The spear stabbed on the vine armor, but never continued to penetrate deeper.

"I can't stab it in." Le Xi recalled that the arrows could not hurt the Han army just now, and suddenly realized that there was definitely something wrong with the armor on these Han army.

"There is something wrong with the straw armor." Le Feng finally understood why this group of Han soldiers dressed so strangely. It seems that these Han soldiers are all very strong soldiers. Logically speaking, they will never wear some garbage equipment. Now it seems that these straw armors are definitely not garbage, but a kind of armor.

The Han army Wudang Flying Army rushed up the city wall one by one. As the number of people increased, Le Chi finally understood that the situation was over...

...

While Zhang Ren attacked Xingyang City, Ao Cang, all large and small, was also attacked around Xingyang City.

After all, Wudang Flying Army had 30,000 people, and all attacking Xingyang was a waste of human resources, so Zhang Ren had long divided his troops to attack the surrounding Ao Cang. The soldiers deployed by Cao's army in each Ao Cang around were mostly single-digit soldiers, while Wudang Flying Army's vineyard was not afraid of bows, arrows, swords and guns, so he could easily retake an Ao Cang by sending dozens of people.

At the same time, at Tongguan, the Han army also left Tongguan in a mighty manner and headed for Luoyang.

...

Outside Luoyang City.

Cao Zhen didn't know that Zhang Ren led Wudang's flying army to the back and had already captured Xingyang.

At this time, Cao Zhen was focused on the direction of Tongguan. After waiting for so long, Cao Zhen finally waited until the Han army left Tongguan. Cao Zhen's plan to surround the site to attack aid can also be implemented.

It is indeed a good strategy to surround the points and attack aid, but since Zhuge Liang had only the road from Chang'an to Luoyang, the main force of the Han army could only go to Hongnong. Therefore, what Cao Zhen faced would be the main force of the Han army led by Zhuge Liang.

Cao Zhen’s camp.

"General, we have already found out that the vanguard of the Han army was Jiang Wei, who led about 20,000 people, and at least 70,000 to 80,000 troops behind him, and they have also successively left Tongguan."

"Jiang Wei? The surrendered Jiang Wei? Hum..." Cao Zhen snorted coldly and then asked: "Who was led by the central army, Zhuge Liang or Pang Tong?"

"It's not even the general. Guan Ping is the one who is in charge of the central army."

"Guan Ping, is Guan Yu's adopted son?"
