"Deputy commander Liang, my people report that there is a small county named Deng County on the march of ten miles ahead. Although it is a small county, there are two thousand garrisons. The county is built on the mountain, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is difficult to pass." Cheng Guang came to Liang Hanwu and reported the military information he had just talked about.

"It's just a small county. What are you afraid of, marshal? Let me go and take this county first and open the channel for the vanguard army." Zhang Hu brought his gun and said.

"General Zhang doesn't have to worry. As soon as the army goes, we'll observe the specific situation first and then make more conclusions." Liang Hanwu said that, he has accelerated his progress.

Half an hour later, the army arrived near Deng county. Liang Hanwu looked at Deng County in front of him, a county built on a mountain, and frowned.

"Although it's just a small county, it's very difficult to attack because of its strong wall." Cheng Guang points to the county. There are mountains on both sides of the county. The only entrance is a solid wall built high to stop the way.

"Is there any other way to Nanyang to bypass this county?" Liang Hanwu frowned slightly. The vanguard wanted to attack Nanyang. If he was stopped here, he would be in trouble.

"If you want to go around, you have to walk fifty miles more." Cheng Guang said.

"If we go around, the Marshal's army will still be stopped, and the trouble here will not be solved. I'm afraid that when we attack Nanyang City, they will attack in the rear, and then they will be attacked by the enemy, which is a big trouble." Song Yang said.

"Deputy commander, give me 3000 troops. I'll go to the battle and force the city's general out of the city to fight and kill him." Zhang Hu said.

"Well, let's have a try. I'm afraid the garrison in the county town will not leave the city relying on the barrier which is easy to defend but hard to attack." Liang Hanwu shook his head helplessly and gave Zhang Hu 3000 horses to fight.

Zhang Hu got the order and led 3000 troops. He wanted to take advantage of the unprepared garrison in the county to attack the city first. However, when he and his men rushed to the city gate, which was only a hundred paces away from the gate, the gate suddenly closed, and all the arrows in the city shot together. The arrows came like rain.

"Get out of here!" When Zhang Hu saw this, he immediately led his troops to retreat, but the rushing soldiers had no time to turn around. Hundreds of soldiers were shot by arrows, some of them were killed and some were injured.

"The garrison general in the city has the ability to fight against him." Zhang Hu suffered such a big loss. He was so angry that he reorganized his army. The sergeants lined up under the city and began to fight.

But on the wall of Deng County, there was no one to see. It was a bit terrifying.

"General, what's going on? Is there no one in the city? " Deputy general Cheng Jian curiously looks at the deserted city wall and asks.

"No one's an arrow from a ghost? These people deliberately don't come out to answer Zhang Hu frowned tightly. To tell the truth, if the other party didn't come out, he was really in a bit of a dilemma.

"What shall we do?" Cheng asked.

"Attack the city!" Zhang Hu waved, infantry came forward, shield array, ladder set up, began to close to the county.

The army moved closer to the county seat step by step. When it was only 50 steps away from the county seat, the city suddenly came back with arrows like rain. Fortunately, the army had suffered such a big loss just now and was on guard. The arrows could not cause any damage to the king's army.

Soon, the king Qin army arrived at the city wall, set up the ladder, and began to climb the city. But just as the soldiers were halfway up, the dense crowd of people in the city suddenly stood up, and Leishi fell down like rain. Even if the king Qin army was on guard, many people were still smashed down in the face of the sudden attack.

"Bowman!" With a wave of Zhang Hu's hand, the five hundred archers immediately came forward and shot back at the city. The siegers seized the opportunity to climb up.

The archers arched to cover, and the siegers took the opportunity to climb up the city. At this time, a black armored general suddenly stood up in the city. He was tall and strong. He was not afraid of the arrows shot by the king's army. He picked up the rolling trees and threw them down. When the other soldiers saw this scene, they also fought against the fire. For a moment, the king's army had no choice Don't step back.

See immediately attack up, but was beaten down, Zhang Hu angry straight teeth, pointing to the black general: "who is this man?"

"General, time is pressing. We haven't come here in a hurry. We don't know our name, but it should be their general." Cheng Guangli came forward and said.

"Didn't I know he was the leading general?" Zhang Hu gave a cold hum, but he had no choice but to withdraw to the range of his opponent's crossbow.

"General, after counting, 100 people were killed and nearly 500 people were injured. Dozens of them were particularly serious." Cheng Jianqing ordered people and horses to report.

"Such a small county block the way of the army. If I can't take it, doesn't the deputy commander think I'm incompetent?" Zhang Hu was furious. Before the battle of Jingzhou, Yang Ming, Li Jun's deputy general, made a great contribution. Now he leads his troops to attack the city for the first time. If he is defeated, he will face up to Zhang Nan.

"These city guards don't answer at all, and the city is extremely difficult to break. What should we do? Would you like to ask the deputy commander for more troops? " Cheng asked."It's just a county. 3000 people are enough. Do you still have the face to ask the deputy commander for help?" Zhang Hu was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Looking at the sergeant behind him, he ordered another five hundred men and horses. He personally led the troops to attack the city.

"Bowman, cover the general." Seeing that Zhang Hu personally led the siege, Cheng Jian was so anxious that he could only stare. Seeing that the siege army was about to draw close to the city, he did not wait for the other side to shoot an arrow. He took the lead in ordering people to shoot an arrow.

It has to be said that the protection of the Bowman really played a role. Zhang Hu led his troops all the way to the bottom of the city wall, and there were only a few arrowheads on the top, which did not kill Zhang Hu.

This time, Zhang Hu no longer attacked the city wall, but directly specialized in the city gate.

Under the impact of huge siege equipment, the heavy city gate didn't move. Zhang Huyan didn't know how long it would take to crash like this, so he simply sent dozens of people to build the gate on the left and right sides with swords.

Soon, a big hole was made in the gate. Through the hole, it was found that the gate had been blocked by many stones. No wonder no matter how hard it was hit, the gate did not move.

"What now, general?" Looking at the boulder against the gate, the soldiers were a little uncertain.

"Retreat!" Zhang Hu shook his head helplessly and could only lead the soldiers back.

"Hahaha, anti thief, general Luo has already had a military order to stop you from going north. I thought you had some abilities to rebel, but I didn't expect that you were just a gang of mobs. Hum, with you, you can't pass in Deng County, let alone Nanyang." Zhang Hu just came back. The black general in the city couldn't help laughing and showed his satisfaction.
