Wang Jing and Xiang Xun were both worried. When they heard that Hou Dayong had a plan to break Huangniu Village, they were both energetic.

Wang Jing stood up and said, "What are the good plans for the defense envoy? Tell me quickly."

Hou Dayong said: "Zhang Cun, the Huangniu Village guard, is a veteran general. He is in a stable command. He has many military and horses in the village and has complete defensive combat equipment. It is really a difficult bone to crack. In addition, the terrain is dangerous and our army's heavy weapons cannot come up. If we continue to attack, our army's elite will definitely be greatly damaged. It is really not worth it. I have a way. Although it is progressing slowly, it should be able to break the military camp."

Xiang Xun said: "As long as you can break the Shu camp, what's the point of slowing down? Don't keep it in a silence, just talk quickly."

Hou Dayong said: "I have fought with the Shu army. The Shu army has few crossbows and many bows, and the range of crossbows is farther than that of bows and arrows. We can build a high platform outside the gate of the village and send crossbowmen to the platform to block the activities of the Shu army in the village. At this time, a strong attack will be easier."

Xiang Xun said: "After the platform is built, you can also place the crossbow on the platform so that the Shu army can also taste the damage of the crossbow." The guards were injured by the wooden crossbow arrows. The crossbow of the Shu army attacked from a high point, making it impossible for the Great Zhou army to hide. The crossbow of the Great Zhou army's crossbow was lower than the gate of the village, and it did not pose much threat to the defenders in the village. Xiang Xun suffered enough. Therefore, when Hou Dayong proposed to build the platform, Xiang Xun immediately thought of putting the crossbow on the platform.

Wang Jing pondered for a moment. He felt that building a high platform took too long, but after thinking about it, there was no other good way. Finally, he agreed with Hou Dayong's suggestion and said, "The method of high platform is a common method of siege, but it is quite time-consuming. Now there is no other good strategy, so follow the plan of the defense envoy. Without further ado, let's start tonight."

After two days of hard fighting, the Zhou army made no progress, and the Shu army did not defend easily. The Shu army also suffered major casualties under the attack of the Zhou army's stone-throwing chariots and crossbow arrows. Although the water source, food and combat equipment in the village could support it, the village's traditional Chinese medicine reserves were insufficient, and the wounded soldiers in the yard had no medicine to cure. In May, the weather was getting hotter and hotter day by day, and the wounds of the wounded soldiers quickly festered, and some of the wounds began to have maggots. The wounded soldiers of the Shu army were not treated, and the minor injuries turned into serious injuries. The serious injuries had to wait for death. The groans one after another spread far away in the middle of the night, causing the uninjured Shu army soldiers to shroud.

In the middle of the night, various sounds came from the Zhou army's positions. With the hazy moonlight, the Shu army saw hundreds of people coming and going like ants on the Zhou army's positions, as if they were doing some fortifications. On the morning of the third day, just as the sky was dawn, the Shu army soldiers were surprised to find that hundreds of Zhou army soldiers took off their shirts and kept rising from the bottom of the mountain. A soil platform about one meter high, twenty meters long, and seven or eight meters wide had been built outside the village.

Shu general Zhang Cun stood on the wall of the village and observed the Zhou army's actions. He quickly understood the intention of Zhou army. Zhang Cun's face was pale, his right hand holding the long sword was full of sweat, and his feet were trembling slightly. Suddenly, Zhang Cun woke up and ordered like crazy: "Put the crossbow quickly and don't let them build the earth platform." The soldiers of the Shu army quickly adjusted the position of the crossbow and aimed at the direction of the earth platform. Huge crossbow arrows rushed to the earth platform with roars. After the Zhou army was attacked, they stopped building the platform. Soon, the Zhou army transported a batch of trees and threatened to dig some deep pits in front of the earth platform with crossbow arrows, inserted the trees into the dug deep pit, and stood in front of the earth platform to block the crossbow arrows. After the big tree was established, the crossbow arrows shot on the trunk of the big tree, making a loud bang, shooting the big tree to the east and west. However, the threat of crossbow arrows to the Taiwan-building sergeants was basically eliminated.

Shu general Zhang Cun wanted to rush out several times to stop the Zhou army from building a platform, but when he saw the Zhou army crossbowmen standing aside, he had to give up the idea of ​​leaving the camp to attack and watched the earth platform build higher and higher.

After hundreds of Zhou army's unremitting efforts, the Tutai finally grew taller day by day with the attention of the soldiers on both sides, but the Zhou army was happy and the Shu army was depressed. The Tutai finally surpassed the gate of the village, and was steeper towards the gate, while the side facing the gate was a gentle slope. After the construction of the Tutai was completed, the height was nearly eight meters, and the top could accommodate more than fifty people. Standing on the platform, looking down, the village was completely visible.

Xiang Xun, the envoy of the South Court, couldn't wait to put five bed crossbows on the top of the slope, climbed to the platform to command the bed crossbows to attack the village. The Zhou army's bed crossbows shot wildly at the place where the Shu army was concentrated in the village. Fifty crossbowmen of the Zhou army also went up to the platform and aimed carefully. When they saw the Shu army, they shot arrows. The military camp was not large and there was no depth. The Shu army was all exposed to the Zhou army's sight, and they could only hide behind various obstacles to avoid heart-wrenching giant arrows and precise crossbows. The houses continued to collapse under the attack of the bed crossbows, making the Shu army unable to hide. The precise and dense crossbows made the Shu army dare not appear in the village. The number of casualties in the Shu army continued to increase, and what was more serious was that their actions were greatly restricted, and the balance of victory and defeat was slowly tilted towards the Zhou army.

Wang Jing also came to the high platform and saw this situation and laughed loudly, "We are catching turtles in the jar now. Let's see how they get on the village wall."

Xiang Xun said to Wang Jing: "I finally got angry and let the people of Shu taste the consequences of crossbow arrows."

Wang Jing said: "Send people to attack, lure the Shu army out, and shoot them."

The Guards launched another attack, this time it was a big thunder and a small raindrop. When the Shu army saw the Zhou army attacking, they were forced to come out of their hiding place and guard the village wall. The crossbowmen on the high platform took the opportunity to shoot at the Shu army. The Shu army held a shield with one hand and a knife with the other hand, which was extremely embarrassed. The Zhou army had a feint attack and then defended the troops. There was another layer of corpses on the wall of the Shu army, all of which were injured by crossbow arrows.

Since the construction of the platform began, the general Zhang Cun of Shu knew that the Huangniu Village could no longer be defended. He saw the generals of Zhou army chatting and laughing on the platform from afar. Zhang Cun cursed all the eighteen generations of Zhao Jili. If it weren't for Zhao Jili, Zhang Cun would not have come to guard the Huangniu Village. What's even more hateful is that the Shu army guarded the Huangniu Village for nearly a month, but Zhao Jili sent troops to reinforce.

The Zhou army repeatedly tortured the Shu army, and the soldiers of the Shu army were nervous and stuck on the verge of collapse. Zhang Cun reported that he would die, so he called his confidant guard and said, "The Huangniu Village cannot be defended. Instead of being shot to death by them, it is better to break through the encirclement at night. Even if he dies, he will die like a man. He cannot be trapped by the Zhou army so cowardly."

"Okay, fucking, the beheading is just a big scar, I will fight them."

"Son of Turtle, I'll die happily."

At the third update, the Shu army opened the gate of the camp, and the remaining less than a thousand Shu soldiers rushed towards the Zhou army in the night. The Zhou army was prepared for a long time. With a drum sound, countless torches were lit on the platform. All the Shu army were exposed to the fire. The Zhou army crossbowmen and archers were aimed at the rushing Shu army. Ten thousand arrows were fired at the same time. None of the thousand Shu soldiers who broke through could rush to the platform and were shot into hedgehogs. Zhang Cun Chong was in front and had seventeen arrows in front of his chest. When he died, his eyes widened.

When Hou Dayong saw the Shu army launching a suicide charge, he said to Shi Hu: "They are also a group of good men. If the reinforcements of the Shu army arrive in time, the outcome of this battle will be unpredictable. I wonder why the main force of the Shu army has no movement, so that the Zhou army can slowly remove the Huangniu Bazhai."

Shi Hu said: "This Shu general is really brave. It's a pity to die. If he surrenders to the Great Zhou Dynasty, he will be a general."

After the Zhou army entered Huangniu Village, they found that the yard was full of wounded soldiers and corpses, and the stench of dead bodies was filled with the village. No one was excited when the Zhou army soldiers saw the military camp like hell on earth. With the final fall of Huangniu Village, all of Huangniu Village fell into the hands of the Zhou army. Nearly 10,000 Shu troops from the eight military camps were wiped out, and the gate to attack Fengzhou was opened.

The incident of causing the general Zhang Cun to die with peace of mind later happened. When the Shu lord Meng Chang learned that the fall of Huangniu Bazhai was furious and ordered the arrest of the eight generals of the village. Most of the families of the generals of the village were in Qin, Feng, Jie and Cheng, and only the Zhang Cun family was in Chengdu Prefecture. In a rage, Shu lord Meng Chang ordered all the men in the Zhang Cun clan to be killed and the women were regarded as official slaves.

After capturing the Bazhai of Huangniu, the Zhou army took advantage of the situation to advance to Fengzhou.

After spending a tense night in Zhengzhou Hou Mansion, a little life announced his existence with a crisp cry.
