Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 206 Burning Tongguan

Soon, this long, slightly dark young general led his men towards the top!

This time the attack was much more violent than that of the Liu family's army. The long blackish young general rushed to the forefront by himself, and countless soldiers behind him shouted and went forward one after another!

This young general is none other than Zhang Jun! He is also one of the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, a figure named after Yue Fei and Han Shizhong! Unlike Liu Guangshi, he has real talents and learning! In history, the Zhang family army is famous for its tyranny! After Zhang Junfan conquered a place, he immediately ordered his soldiers to burn, kill and loot! He had nothing to say if he failed in the duel with the Jurchen, but if he won, the people there would definitely be tortured! His army is much more tyrannical than the Jurchen army!

"Rush! Follow the general and charge up! After entering Guanshan, I will allow you to plunder in Guanshan for half a year!" Zhang Jun's voice spread throughout the battlefield!

His martial arts skills are exceptionally good. Among the younger generation of the Western Army, he was second only to Han Shizhong!

"Emperor Xuanwu, you must die! You insulted me back then, and I will never let you go!" Zhang Jun gritted his teeth.

He hates Zhao Chen very much! Back then outside Xiangzhou City, he mobilized an army to kill Zhao Chen, but in the end Yue Fei captured him alive. He felt that he had received a huge humiliation, so he hated Zhao Chen!

The troops under him climbed up one after another!

On the top, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army shot their bows and arrows down, and at the same time pushed the ladder away from the city wall vigorously! Countless ladders were overturned, and countless Zhangjiajun soldiers fell down screaming!

"Oil pan!" Yang Zhong shouted loudly.

Suddenly, countless boiling oil poured down from above! After the boiling oil was poured down, the screaming sound became more intense, and the screaming sound was everywhere!

The trebuchet has also been set up, and huge stones continue to fall into the army below, and the army below screams again and again!

Zhang Jun was also on the ladder, and the arrows from above fell, and he pushed them away with the sword in his hand! Now he is getting closer and closer to the top!

At this moment, another arrow fell from above! This arrow has a sharp wind sound, which is extremely ear-piercing! Zhang Jun pushed the arrow away with all his strength, but he felt a little strenuous! It turned out that it was Yang Zhong who fired the arrow!

Although Yang Zhong's martial arts is not as good as Zhang Jun's, he is still in the innate realm, so the arrow he fired is naturally no small feat!

"Shoot this man to death first!" Yang Zhong roared, and dozens of bows and arrows on the city wall shot towards Zhang Jun together!

ah!

Zhang Jun let out a loud cry, and swung the sword in his hand into a ball, immediately blocking all the arrows! But soon, the second wave of dozens of arrows came again, Zhang Jun lost his footing and almost fell!

He didn't dare to stay here anymore, snorted coldly, and rushed down!

The soldiers of the Forbidden Army above already knew that he was the enemy general, even though he had gone down, the bows and arrows above were still shooting at him wave after wave!

In the end, Zhang Jun had to retreat completely from the front!

*** ***

Seeing Zhang Jun's embarrassment, Liu Guangshi showed a happy expression on his face!

His Liu family army couldn't take Tongguan down, so he naturally didn't want Zhang Jun's Zhang family army to take Tongguan down!

Zhang Jun looked at Tongguan in front of him, his face was extremely ugly!

Qin Hui came to his side and said, "General Zhang, are you okay?"

Zhang Jun shook his head and said, "Master Qin, this Tongguan Pass is a well-known dangerous pass in the world! One man guards the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it! Although we have an army of 800,000, none of our siege weapons have been transported here! Hard attack, the loss is too heavy!"

Qin Hui said: "Then according to your opinion, what should we do?"

Zhang Jun sneered, and said, "Aren't there 600,000 rebels from Mr. Zongze behind? These rebels don't have much skill, and they can be used as meat shields! Let the 600,000 rebels rush forward, and first guard the top The strength of the army has been exhausted, and we, the elite army, will continue to attack the city at dawn! At that time, we will be able to conquer Tongguan in one fell swoop!"

Qin Hui thought for a moment and said, "Okay! Let's do it like this!"

Qin Hui immediately went to Zongze, but there were 800,000 troops concentrated here, and their communication system was extremely chaotic. It took Qin Hui half an hour to find Zongze, and he ordered Zongze to go forward Siege!

Zong Ze frowned, and said: "There are Zhang Jiajun and Liu Jiajun here, why let the rebels go up to attack the city? It's okay for these rebels to let them harass the grain road, but if they attack the city, I'm afraid it won't work!"

Qin Hui said: "They don't need to take down Tongguan! They just need to exhaust the strength of the Tongguan defenders!"

Zong Ze immediately understood what Qin Hui meant, and he stayed there!

After a while, Zong Ze showed a painful expression on his face, and said, "Okay, let's do it like this!"

Zong Ze's prestige in the rebel army is extremely high, only he can command the rebel army!

At that moment, Zhang Jiajun and Liu Jiajun retreated one after another, and the rebel army began to attack Tongguan!

The leader of the rebel army is Wang Yan. Under Wang Yan's order, the rebel army is heading up wave after wave! The weapons of the rebel army are much worse than those of the regular army, and many people even hold wooden sticks in their hands! How could they conquer Tongguan like this?

Yang Zhong immediately sensed the change in the offensive. Yang Zhong thought for a while and said, "Leave 5,000 people here, and the rest will rest immediately! Tomorrow morning, I'm afraid there will be a big battle!"

In the darkness of night, the sound of shouting and killing was loud, but there were only more than 5,000 defenders left!

These more than five thousand people kept throwing boulders down, shooting bows and arrows down, and pushing the ladder away!

But the number of enemies is really too much, in the end some enemies still rushed up! Whenever someone rushed up, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army rushed forward and pushed them down!

The night passed gradually, and the five thousand people above were exhausted to the extreme!

At this time, Zhang Jun led Zhang Jiajun to attack again!

*** ***

At the gate of Tongguan, countless rebel soldiers holding several huge logs kept hitting the gate, Yang Zhong had to arrange soldiers below to completely block the gate!

And on the city wall, hundreds of soldiers from the Zhang family army rushed up! These Zhangjiajun soldiers are very different from the Forbidden Army, they are far from being the opponents of the Forbidden Army! But the soldiers of the imperial army were exhausted all night, and they were a little too hard to resist at this moment!

"Haha! Tongguan has been taken down! Tongguan will be taken down soon! Emperor Xuanwu, I want to capture you alive!" Zhang Jun laughed loudly!

However, his laughter didn't last long, and the new force of the Forbidden Army rushed up from behind!

It was almost a cover-up, all Zhang Jiajun soldiers were killed, and Zhang Jun retreated again!

Yang Zhong immediately ordered the soldiers of the imperial army who had fought all night to go to rest. At this moment, five thousand new troops were left on the city wall!

It's just that Zhang Jun's attacks are continuous, not only Zhang's army, Liu's army, and the rebel army are also constantly attacking upwards!

They didn't stop for a moment!

People kept rushing up, and soldiers of the Imperial Army kept dying!

It was already afternoon, and the soldiers of the imperial army suffered too much loss. Those soldiers of the imperial army who had already rested had to rush forward to take up their positions!

"How many people do we have?" Yang Zhong asked anxiously after killing an enemy soldier who rushed up.

"There are still 7,000 people! However, General, our soldiers are too tired!" said a school captain, and this school lieutenant was also full of anxiety!

"Even if we are tired, we must continue to fight! Tongguan is still some distance away from Chang'an, we must give Chang'an enough time! We must fight here, even if there is only one person, we must fight! We must ensure that His Majesty can go there In a safe place, make sure Chang'an responds appropriately!" Yang Zhong gritted his teeth.

"Yes! Brothers understand this truth! Brothers all have the idea of ​​dying for the country!" said the captain.

"Okay!" Yang Zhong laughed, he had already killed an enemy soldier who charged up again!

"Kill!" Yang Zhong shouted loudly, and the soldiers behind him also shouted after him!

In the end, the entire city wall was filled with the sound of "killing", which was earth-shattering!

A new wave of enemy attacks is coming up again!

They have an army of 800,000, and now every wave is a new force!

"Kill! Kill, kill, kill!" There were such voices everywhere on the city wall!

Now there are more and more enemy troops rushing up the city wall! More than two thousand people rushed up, but soon, these two thousand people were driven down again!

One day has passed!

At dusk, Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi organized a new wave of attacks. This time they shot arrows below. The arrows below had no strength when they reached the top. They just used the arrows to urge their soldiers to move forward. If more soldiers fall behind, they will shoot those soldiers to death immediately!

"Rush! Rush up! I don't believe that Tongguan City can't be defeated!" Zhang Jun said very depressed in his heart!

Their 800,000 troops have not stopped for a moment since last night! The Tongguan defenders above seemed to have only 10,000 people, but they still couldn't win, which made Zhang Jun feel very ashamed! In his opinion, Jin Bing is really powerful, Jurchen is invincible, it is normal that they can't beat Jin Bing, but they are also Han people, they can't beat each other, it is a bit unacceptable!

"Wang Yan, tell your people to rush up too! Don't stay for a moment, you must take Tongguan!" Qin Hui found Wang Yan and said.

Wang Yan nodded!

It was already dark, and the snow was still falling. Wang Yan's rebel army swarmed towards the city wall!

This time, the number of Liu Jiajun, Zhang Jiajun, and Rebel Army who rushed up has exceeded 5,000! And these 5,000 people are basically a new force!

The Imperial Army soldiers were exhausted to the extreme, and many of them had difficulty raising their arms!

"Kill! We must kill them all, we must drive them all down! Don't let them take Tongguan! Soldiers, form a phalanx and drive them down!" Yang Zhong was also extremely exhausted at the moment, he shouted loudly Go!

The soldiers of the Forbidden Army above formed tiny phalanxes according to their daily training, only a small phalanx composed of more than ten people! They cooperate with each other and support each other!

"Don't fall down! Never fall down! Kill the enemy!" A Forbidden Army soldier in front had blood all over his face, and one of his arms was broken. He couldn't hold on anymore, but he still struggled forward, and he let the enemy The weapon in his body was inserted into his body, and then he stabbed the knife in his hand into the enemy's stomach!

The enemy couldn't believe it, he fell there, he bled so much that he could hardly stand up, but he still crawled forward, and he slashed another enemy's calf!

The enemy screamed and fell to the ground. He continued to move forward, but he bled too much. Gradually, his face became paler and paler, and he couldn't hold on anymore!

"Are you about to die? Die your life for your country! No way! Hold on a little longer and kill another enemy! It's worth dying even if you die! Ah..." He yelled violently, and then saw him frantically moving forward An enemy pounced on his back!

At such a moment, he didn't know where he got the strength to throw this enemy to the ground, while his comrades violently killed this enemy! It's just that he has lost his breath, with a pure smile on his face!

On the battlefield, such things abound!

The 800,000 army is still charging upwards!

At this moment Yang Zhong was also scarred, suddenly he saw a gleam of flames appearing in the distance, and a smile appeared on his face!

"Tongguan, even if it is burned, you won't be able to get it! There are a lot of ordnance, a lot of food and grass here, all of which will be burned!" He secretly said in his heart.

"Brothers! The last moment has come! Hold them, you must hold them! Let them die with us in Tongguan City!" Yang Zhong suddenly laughed and shouted.

After he said this, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army on the city wall immediately understood what Yang Zhong meant! They knew that the time had come to burn Tongguan, and of course they would be buried in the sea of ​​flames, and those enemies who were entangled by them would also be buried in the sea of ​​flames!

In the heavy snow, the flames of Tongguan City were raging, and the soldiers of Liu Jiajun, Zhang Jiajun, and Rebel Army wanted to retreat, but the soldiers of the Forbidden Army clung to them tightly and wouldn't let them leave at all!

*** ***

"Not good! Get out quickly!" Qin Hui looked at the situation in Tongguan and said in shock!

"The retreat has been ordered! It's just that those subordinates of Emperor Xuanwu are very difficult to deal with. Now they are desperately pushing our ladder down, and our soldiers can't get down at all!" Liu Guangshi said.

"Open the city gate!" Qin Hui said.

"The city gate is already on fire!" Liu Guangshi said.

"How could this be? How many of us are there?" Qin Hui asked.

"There are always 40,000 to 50,000 people!" Liu Guangshi said.

"Damn it!" Qin Hui cursed angrily.

The entire Tongguan City was engulfed in flames, and there were screams everywhere! Occasionally, the sound of wild laughter can be heard, which was made by the soldiers of the Forbidden Army when they were dying! Yang Zhong was already on fire and in severe pain, but he still hugged an enemy general tightly. This general was struggling constantly, but unfortunately he couldn't break free!

"I'm going to die! You die with me too!" Yang Zhong's laughing voice spread below Tongguan!

Qin Hui, Liu Guangshi and others stood there, at a loss! They are here to fight, and there is no way to put out the fire! Moreover, there are too many grains and supplies stored in Tongguan City, and it is impossible to extinguish them once they are burned!

From late night to dawn, the fire has been burning without stopping...
