Chapter 140: Anger and Siege (9/20)

Yuan Tan did not expect that Zhang Ping would be so shameless. In a hurry, he had to raise his hand tightly to protect his head and face, and use his bright light armor to resist the sharpness of the arrow.

However, after all, the strong crossbowmen in this city were carefully selected and had been aiming for a long time. He was urging his urge to surrender below and was completely a fixed target. This shot, the rain of arrows was not ruined at all, and they were all shot on him.

No matter how strong the Mingguang Armor is, it is not a defensive defense. Yuan Tan raised his hand to protect his face. By chance, an arrow passed through his armpit and plunged directly into his crunching nest. He shouted loudly and fell down.

As for the horse he was riding, he died directly under the arrows, and he just hit him in the foot.

Seeing this, Guo Tu of the rear army was anxious and shouted: "Save the Young Master!" Then he rushed out with the lead. The cavalry behind him hurriedly followed, lifted Yuan Tan and ran away. On the city wall, under Zhang Fei's command, there were still arrows. Although Guo Tu and others successfully rescued Yuan Tan, Zhang Fei also left three more corpses.

Zhang Fei saw it clearly in the city, and didn't know whether Yuan Tan was dead or not, but he still shouted loudly: "The traitor Yuan Tan is dead! The traitor Yuan Tan is dead!"

No one could see clearly whether Yuan Tan was dead or not. Anyway, he was sure to shout. For a moment, all the defenders in Tancheng were greatly motivated. He only regretted that there were few soldiers in the city and did not dare to lead the crowd out, otherwise he would have won a happy victory.

However, Yuan Tan was not dead when he was shot in the armpit, but the pericardium was connected here, and the arrows were all with barbs of wolf teeth. After being pulled out, blood spurted like a spring, which made Yuan Tan shout loudly, "It was so embarrassing." When the military doctor bandaged the wound, it was seen that half a basin of blood spurted out from the bed on the ground, Yuan Tan himself looked as pale as a ghost."

With the medical level at the end of the Han Dynasty and the recuperation environment like this in the army, whether this life can be saved is really between the two.

"Zhang Fei's old thief! He bullies me too much! Siege the city! Siege the city now! I want to kill him!"

Seeing this, Guo Tu felt embarrassed: "The army had not even had time to install the camp, and the siege equipment had not been assembled yet. Tancheng was solid and it was very difficult to get out in a hurry. I thought we should build a camp first, send a horse to investigate the news of the neighboring county town, and visit Yuan Shu's whereabouts. When everything is clear, the ladder, the collision, the nest car and other equipment have also been assembled. It is not too late to attack again!"

Yuan Tan glared at him after hearing this: "He almost killed me just now! He almost killed me!"

Seeing this, Guo Tu had to bow his head and retreat. Although he was the lord's confidant, he was the lord's son, so he naturally could not force him.

Then the troops attacked the city in a confused manner, or in other words, symbolic attacks.

The generals under Yuan Tan knew that the preparations were not complete and they had not even filled the moat. They were probably unable to attack the city, but the chief general was shot half dead by the enemy's arrow. Now he was furious and clearly had lost his mind. What's more important is that he was the eldest son of the lord.

It is indeed inappropriate to not obey other people's orders.

So after simply filling a small path on the moat, Wang Zhao and Peng An, the two generals who were Yuan Tan’s confidant, led their troops to take simple bamboo ladders and attacked them.

Just seeing them shouting loudly, jumping up and down, they looked very fierce, but in fact they were weak and powerless. Facing the rain of arrows on the city wall, they never really rushed to the top of the city.

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "It seems that this young man Yuan Tan is really lucky."

"I haven't died, I must have been seriously injured."

Zhang Fei looked at the city for a while and suddenly drew his sword: "Although the enemy's offensive seems to be fighting, he has no intention of fighting at all, and the moat has not been filled. This is an opportunity. Erlang and others will follow me to fight back and kill the enemy. I personally ask you for me to make a contribution."

The Prime Minister quickly stopped him and said, "Mr. Zhang, how can you always kill the enemy yourself? Or let me take my men to kill the enemy."

"I dare not pity my elders when fighting for the country. I will kill the enemy myself, which will boost morale. When the bandits see me leaving the city, they will definitely compete for me first and come to fight for me. When I retreat to the corner of the wall or the door, you can shoot with a powerful crossbow at the top of the city, and maybe you can kill one or two generals of the bandit army to share the worries of the emperor."

As he said that, the old man's stubborn temper even came up. He pushed away the person who blocked him. It was useless to persuade anyone. He walked to the city gate and put down the suspension bridge. Then he led the county soldiers and killed them. He beat the thief army in front of the shield and behind the halberd.

Because the moat was filled too casually and the road was narrow, Yuan Tanjun could not stop the charge with Zhang Fei's strict formation, either stabbed to death or fell into the river.

Wang Zhao and Peng An had no intention of really siegeing the city, but they just used the worthless aristocrats under their command to show their favorability in front of their leaders. Seeing that the attack in the city was so urgent, they naturally retreated back to the other side of the river. Then, they saw Zhang Fei appearing on the other side and laughing at them with a knife: "Qingzhou rat! Isn't that dog thief Yuan Tan dead?"

Wang Zhao and Peng An looked at each other, and suddenly became crazy. They took their own soldiers and attacked again, and acted like they were trying their best.

"Old thief! Come on your life!"

Zhang Fei was defeated and fought and retreated with his troops, but his subordinates were not panicked. After all, he fought against the strong city. There was only a big place in front of the city, and behind it was a moat that had not yet been filled. Everyone met you on a narrow road and Yuan Tan had an army of 100,000, so what's the use?

When he retreated to the gate of the city, the city quickly ordered the crossbowman who had already prepared a long time ago to aim and shoot. By chance, he shot Peng An again with a slight arrow. The positions were exactly the same, but under his armpit, which made him heart-wrenchingly painful.

"Zhang Fei! Old thief!!!"

Zhang Fei showed his head again after hearing this and said, "My city gate is not closed. If you have the ability, come here!"

Seeing this, Peng An was so angry that he ignored the injuries under his armpit and wanted to kill him, but Wang Zhao was dragged to death: "Don't be impulsive, there is a urn city in Tancheng."

"I……"

Peng An stopped the fire and then retreated reluctantly.

After all, this is not an opportunity to attack the city at all, but based on the anger of the general, showing loyalty and flattery at once.

When the two of them retreated with their soldiers and looked at Peng An who was exactly the same as him, Yuan Tan naturally became more and more angry, but finally calmed down.
