    The next day, all the Wen army units recharged their batteries, and Wen Han led the army to attack Nanzheng City overwhelmingly.  (Release) Wenhan erected ladders on three sides, leaving only the south gate, and attacked with flying cannons on the other three sides.

    Bang~~!  !  Bang~~!  !  Bang~~!  !  !  Bang bang~~!  !

    Huge cannonballs shook the entire city of Nanzheng violently.  The soldiers and civilians of Nanzheng were fearful.  The three teams of soldiers and horses moved violently with shouts of killing that shook the sky.  I saw Zhao Yun leading an army to attack the north gate, Zhang Liao leading an army to attack the east gate, and Pang De leading an army to attack the west gate. Each general led his army either to climb the ladder or to attack under the city.

    Wearing golden armor, Zhang Lu rushed to the north gate city wall. Zhang Lu won the hearts of the people in Hanzhong. This time he was on the front line. As if the emperor came in person, the morale of the soldiers at the north gate was shocked. He used arrows, falling stones, rolling logs, etc.  various means to resist the civilian soldiers.

    Wenhan saw that the resistance at the north gate was the strongest and the battle was fierce.  So on the one hand, he sent an order to Zhao Yun to resume his offensive, and divided his troops to rush to the east and west gates.

    Then he rode his horse and rushed to the city, waving his whip and shouting at Zhang Lu, trying to cover up Zhao Yun's division of troops.

    "Zhang Gongqi, you are helpless, why don't you surrender as soon as possible?!"

    Zhang Lu saw the man at the foot of the city, wearing embroidered robes and silver armor, and standing on horseback with a gun. It was none other than the monarch Wen Han, Wen Bufan, who led the army that invaded Hanzhong.  Zhang Lu's eyes widened, his anger suddenly arose, and he yelled back.

    "Wen Bufan, you and I have always been at peace with each other, so why are you violating my realm of Hanzhong!"

    "Zhang Gongqi, why do you need to ask questions knowingly! You set up a five-meter cult in Hanzhong to confuse people's hearts and want to occupy the land and become the king. The imperial court has long wanted to get rid of you, and now it has issued an order and specially sent me to lead the army to attack!"

    Wen Han shouted loudly, Zhang Lu was furious and shouted again.

    "Wen Bufan, you don't have to make excuses here! No one in the world knows that the current imperial court is controlled by Cao Cao, and the Holy Spirit is controlled by him like a puppet! You have always been in cahoots with Cao Cao, and this time you must have done it in private.  Deguang's deal, and the imperial decree, he used his name to invade Hanzhong!"

    "Zhang Gongqi, don't forget the time you hurt my grandfather! You have a personal grudge against me. Even if there is no order from the court this time, I will lead my army to attack sooner or later and take your dog's head to vent the hatred in my heart!  !¡±

    Suddenly, Wen Han's face changed, his face was full of hatred, and he shouted angrily.  When Zhang Lu heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he secretly said that Wen Bufan really came here with hatred.  At the same time, there was even more fear in my heart, thinking to myself that I must not lose to this person, otherwise I will be tortured to death by him!

    Zhang Lu looked cold and was about to reply when Wen Han had already pulled his horse and left.  During the conversation between Wenhan and Zhang Lu, Zhao Yun received Wenhan's order and acted according to his plan, dividing his troops and sending them to the east and west gates.

    When he was young, Zhang Lu heard reports from soldiers from the East and West Gates that the battle situation was urgent, and Zhang Lu was expected to rush to guard.  Zhang Lu was powerless for a moment, and he was afraid that if he left the north gate, he would be at a loss when the north gate was attacked.

    At the same time, Zhang Liao bravely climbed to the east gate of Nanzheng, and the guard Zhang Wei hurriedly ordered his troops to stop him. Zhang Liao carried the Fangtian Painted Halberd in his hand and killed everyone in all directions. No one could stop him. He went straight to Zhang Wei and killed him bravely.  Seeing Zhang Liao's bravery, Zhang Wei was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he sent soldiers to the north gate to seek help from Zhang Lu.

    On the other side, Pound rode across the moat on the wooden bridge built by the soldiers with wooden piles. Inside the city gate, he was fighting fiercely with Zhang Lu's soldiers.  Yang Song was afraid that Pound would kill the soldiers guarding the city gate from time to time, and then the city gate would be violently attacked by the civilian army.  In panic, Yang Song also sent soldiers to Zhang Lu at the north gate for help.

    "Urgent report!!! Zhang Wenyuan has climbed up the ladder to kill on the east gate. The defenders of the east gate are unable to resist. I hope the lord will send troops to rescue him!"

    When Zhang Lu heard this, his expression changed, but he quickly followed the report from the soldiers who came from the other way.

    "Urgent report!!! Pang Lingming has rushed across the west gate moat and is fighting with the soldiers guarding the gate. The west gate is in danger. I hope the lord will send troops to rescue!"

    Zhang Lu trembled suddenly, and then he realized that Wen Jun was far stronger than he had imagined.  Zhang Lu's face twitched repeatedly and he roared.

    "The north gate was also attacked by the enemy's army! How could I spare the troops to rescue them! Send me an order to order Zhang Wei and Yang Song to defend the city gate to the death. If anything is lost, I will not be lenient!!!"

    Zhang Lujie shouted hysterically, and the soldiers sent by Zhang Wei and Yang Song reluctantly retreated to report back.  After hearing this, Zhang Wei and Yang Song had no choice but to force their soldiers to fight to the death.

    The two armies attacked and defended, fighting until dark. Wen Han did not want the army to be tired and take it by force, so he ordered the troops on the left and right to blow the retreat horn. Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Pang De's troops followed the order and withdrew.  The tide of civilian troops retreated slowly, and the north, east, and west gates of Nanzheng City were filled with corpses, broken bones, and bloody flesh.

    Zhang Lu, Zhang Wei, Yang Song and others were all relieved when they saw the Wen army retreating. Most of their soldiers had pale faces and fear in their eyes.

    That night, ?Seeing that its power was extremely strong, Lu knew that Nanzheng City was difficult to defend, so he hurriedly gathered his civil and military officials to discuss the situation.

    "At present, the enemy's army is fierce and aggressive, and they have cannons, rocks, ladders and other siege weapons. Nanzheng City may not be able to hold on for many days. I want to abandon the city and run away to Nanshan and rush back to Bazhong. It will be early  Get ready. What do you think?"

    Hearing this, Zhang Wei nodded in agreement, then his eyes glowed and he said in a sinister voice.

    "If my brother wants to abandon Nanzheng, why not set fire to all the warehouses and treasury before leaving. Then there are details left behind, and rumors spread in the city that this is because Wen Bufan disrespected his master and violated the holy land, thus violating the power of God. This is a punishment.  ! In this case, the people in the city will definitely be resentful towards Wen Bufan. If Wen Bufan takes over Nanzheng City, he will be on thin ice and he will be resented by the people of Nanzheng at any time!"

    After Zhang Lu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he sneered.

    "Huh huh huh. Brother Wei's plan is brilliant. Wen Bufan has always respected and loved the people, so he will not be wary of the people in the city. If the people in the city succeed and get rid of this serious problem for me, then the current crisis in Hanzhong will be over.  It¡¯s solved by blowing ashes!¡±

    "My lord, you must not do this!! We are ministers of the Han Dynasty, and the warehouses and treasuries belong to the country. How can we burn them privately for our own selfish purposes, harming the people and harming the interests of the country!!!"

    Yan Pu¡¯s face changed drastically when he heard this, and he quickly knelt down and begged for help.  Zhang Lu frowned, feeling very unhappy about Yan Pu's collision.  Zhang Wei was standing nearby, curling his lips and saying in a cold voice.

    "In the early years of Hanzhong, it was desolate and impoverished. The people all suffered from famine. The imperial court ignored Hanzhong because of its remoteness. Without my brother, who set up Wumi Taoism here to help the people, Hanzhong would not be as prosperous and powerful as it is today! Now the people of Hanzhong respect me.  Brother, I have long wanted to support my brother as king!

    This time, the imperial court did not appreciate my brother's virtue and sent Na Wen Bufan to lead an army to attack him.  The Han Dynasty was unkind, so even if we did something unjust, we would still be forced by it!  !  !  "

    "What General Zhang said is absolutely true! My lord is well-known in Hanzhong and has great benevolence. Whoever doesn't respect him should be the king! He is actually a king. All the people in Hanzhong are his lord. What the lord wants to do depends entirely on the lord.  meaning!"

    Yang Song had been secretly observing the situation, and seeing that it was the time to amuse Zhang Lu, he quickly flattered him.  Zhang Lu was overjoyed when he heard this, and he opened his big red mouth and laughed.

    "Hahahahahaha! Good, good! What you and the others say are in my heart!!! My merits are overwhelming, and I will be the king of Hanzhong sooner or later. I will definitely reward you and the two of you!"

    ¡°Lord~!!¡±

    Yan Pu¡¯s face turned anxious and he was about to remonstrate again.  Unexpectedly, Zhang Lu suddenly became angry and yelled.

    ¡°Stand back!!!¡±

    Yan Pu's eyes turned bitter, he held the ceremony again, and retreated in shame and anger.  After Zhang Lu retreated from Yan Pu, he discussed the previous plans with Zhang Wei and Yang Song.

    It was the second watch of the night, and suddenly a huge fire broke out in Nanzheng City, and the fire spread to the sky.  Raging fires broke out in the county offices and granaries in the city, and the fire quickly spread to private houses. Many Nanzheng people woke up in the middle of the night and ran out in panic.  At this moment, Zhang Lu led his army to suddenly open the south gate and rush out, fleeing towards Bazhong.

    In the villages of Wenying not far away, the location of Nanzheng City was ablaze, and soldiers from various ministries came quickly to report to Wenhan.  When Wenhan learned that Nanzheng City was on fire, he immediately thought that Zhang Lu must have burned the city and fled when he saw that Nanzheng could not hold on.

    "Zhang Gongqi, you are simply crazy!!!! If I catch you one day, I will cut you into pieces!!!!"

    Wen Han's eyes widened with anger, and he shouted hysterically.  Tian Feng and Cheng Gongying quickly came to remonstrate and taught Wen Han to send troops into the city to put out the fire.  Wen Han acted according to his plan and ordered Pang De to guard the camp. Zhao Yun led a group of sergeants to guard outside the city to prevent Zhang Lu's army from sneak attack. The rest of the troops rushed into Nanzheng to put out the fire.

    The fire in Nanzheng burned until dawn, and the city was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke. Countless Nanzheng people who had their homes burned by the fire screamed and cried bitterly. Wen Han comforted the people while preparing for the troops to enter the city.  In the meantime, Wenhan heard that the granary in Nanzheng was burned down and most of the stored grain was burned. He was afraid that the people in the city would have no food, so he ordered Cheng Gongying to allocate military rations to the army and not provide relief for the time being.  At the same time, he rushed people back to Chencang and ordered Zhong Yao to distribute food supplies on the same day.

    Wenhan worked for the people of Zheng in Annan, and he was busy with affairs and making arrangements for many days.  Unexpectedly, Zhang Lu's detailed work in Nanzheng secretly spread rumors that the recent fire in Nanzheng was caused by Wenhan's offending his master and infringing on the holy land, thus causing the wrath of heaven to punish him.  Zhang Lu won the hearts of the people in Hanzhong, and the people blindly believed him and believed that this was what happened, so they resented Wen Han.

    One day, Wenhan went out to inspect the people's sentiments in Nanzheng.  Suddenly, several people who had been ambushing here rushed out with knives and swarmed Wenhan.  Wen Han was unprepared, but fortunately Zhao Yun reacted quickly and subdued all these common people.  After the common people were subdued, they still refused to let him go and cursed Wenhan.

    Although Wenhan was attacked by these people, he was not angry and asked them three timesWhy do you want to assassinate yourself?  The few people shouted angrily and told the rumors spread by Zhang Lu.

    After hearing this, Wenhan's face became uncertain, and at the same time he felt sad for the ignorance and blindness of these people.  These common people mistakenly believed in the rumors and had no ill intentions. Wen Han did not want to punish them, so instead of explaining them, he ordered Zhao Yun to let them go.
