Chapter 86 Xue Rengui

Zhang Jiao and the Yellow Turbans behind him are sure to win the attack on Yecheng and destroy Lu Zhi's army, but Lu Zhi's determination to use the strong city to continuously wipe out the vitality of the Yellow Turbans is also extremely firm.

Lu Zhi, who was in charge of 98, and Chi You, who was in charge of 103, had a wonderful competition inside and outside Yecheng.

Chi You's incomparably flexible siege method once caused Lu Zhi a headache, he was tired of coping, and it was difficult to keep up with his opponent's rhythm.During that time, the city defenses of Yecheng had many loopholes for a while, and Chi You almost seized the opportunity.

But at this time, Xue Rengui couldn't stand it any longer, and immediately spoke to Lu Zhi under Li Xiang's instruction.Since one's own commander-in-chief is not as good as the enemy's, trying to keep up with the opponent's rhythm will only be led by the nose by the opponent, and ultimately powerless.

That being the case, simply ignore the other party and just defend the city on your own. Where there are loopholes, just fill them in.

When Lu Zhi heard it, he suddenly realized, and immediately changed the way of defending the city, and no longer forced himself to make changes according to the opponent's arrangement.

After that, Xue Rengui put forward several suggestions to Lu Zhi, pointing out the loopholes in Lu Zhi's city defense system, which greatly strengthened Yecheng's defense.

Since then, Xue Rengui took the initiative to offer to Lu Zhi the method of dispatching soldiers to defend the city several times in critical moments, effectively repelling Chi You's attacks again and again.But Xue Rengui, who had reached 101 in command, assisted Lu Zhi, and Chi You's offensive collapsed in an instant.

In the past, everyone in the Han Dynasty was envious of Liu Bei's good luck, and the two sworn brothers he took in were both extremely courageous, and they belonged to the top batch in the current Han Army.

But now everyone is more envious of Li Xiang's good luck. In the eyes of everyone, the value of Xue Rengui is much higher than that of Guan Zhang combined.

It's no wonder everyone has this idea, it's because Xue Rengui's performance this time is too amazing.

When fighting for generals in the city, Xue Rengui beheaded the two generals of the Yellow Turbans, and later joined forces with the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang to fight against Chi You.When the generals retreated, they forced the Yellow Turban generals back with two arrows, and then the third arrow wounded Chi You.In this battle, the force Xue Rengui displayed was superior to those of Guan and Zhang, even among the entire Yecheng army, it was unmatched.

Compared with Xue Rengui's military strength, which is the best among all generals, what the big man marvels at is Xue Rengui's commanding ability.After all, no matter how strong the military force is, it is nothing more than a reckless man. Xiang Yu, who is as strong as the overlord of Western Chu, was also beaten to death in Wujiang by the soldier Han Xin's ambush from all sides.

Facing the attack of hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans, and the opponent's commander-in-chief was obviously not mediocre, even Lu Zhi was beaten to the point of being full of loopholes and tired of coping.But with Xue Rengui's help, Lu Zhi and Huang Jin were evenly matched in a short period of time.

There was even one time when Xue Rengui was in danger and was ordered to temporarily command the army to defend the city on behalf of Lu Zhi. Without Chi You's knowledge and carelessness, even Chi You suffered a big loss.Chi You's Jinglan troops were nearly half lost by Xue Rengui's surprise attack in the first battle, and the defensive pressure on the big men in Yecheng immediately dropped a lot.

Since Xue Rengui was there to help, the casualties of the Han officers and soldiers led by Lu Zhi dropped sharply.

Looking at Xue Rengui who was standing beside his mentor Lu Zhi and commanding the army vigorously, Liu Bei's eyes were almost red.

Other people on the Han side, such as Liu Yu, Yuan Shao and others, were just envious of Li Xiang having such a peerless general as Xue Rengui. Maybe they also had some thoughts in their hearts, but they didn't show it.

But Liu Bei is different, this person has really put into action.

These days, whenever Liu Bei had time, he would run to Li Xiang's camp.Of course, Liu Bei didn't visit Li Xiang, but went to exchange the art of war with Xue Rengui under the pretense of euphemism.Although he was surprised by Liu Bei's shamelessness, Li Xiang was not easy to drive people away, and Li Xiang was very relieved of Xue Rengui, so he let Liu Bei go.

It's a pity that King Xiang has a dream, and the goddess is ruthless. After Liu Bei showed a slight hint of harassment, Xue Rengui immediately stayed away.He even tried to hide from Liu Bei on the pretext of being tired from the war and needing a rest.And Liu Bei is also indomitable, even if he can't see Xue Rengui, he still lives with Li Xiang every day.

In fact, Li Xiang also marveled that Liu Bei was really big-hearted, and now Xue Rengui's military position is far higher than Liu Bei's.Xue Rengui is a school lieutenant of the Bingzhou Army, and Liu Bei is just the leader of a small rebel army.If it weren't for the name of Liu Bei's Han family clan and Lu Zhi's disciples, how could he be qualified to communicate with everyone.I don't know how Liu Bei has the confidence to subdue Xue Rengui and poach Li Xiang's corner.

Of course, Li Xiang would not allow Liu Bei to be so unscrupulous these days.Although he knew that the effect was almost zero, Li Xiang still ran to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei like Liu Bei every day.Not for anything else, just to disgust that Liu Bei.

As soon as Li Xiang made this move, Liu Bei naturally understood Li Xiang's threat.Although Liu Bei is also very confident in the relationship between his three brothers, but Liu Bei does not have the courage to gamble. After all, if he loses his two sworn brothers, he will really have nothing.

Back to the topic, since the end of the battle, the big man and the yellow scarf have been fighting at the upper foot of Yecheng for more than 20 days, and it seems that the fourth mission issued by the system to Li Xiang can be completed in a few days.

In the past 20 days, both the Dahan and the Yellow Turban suffered heavy losses.

It's only the east gate of Yecheng, where Lu Zhi and Chi You confront each other.In the first three days, the Yellow Turban had nearly [-] casualties, while the Dahan had [-] casualties, a ratio of less than one to three.And such a small casualty ratio is absolutely unacceptable in a city defense battle, let alone a strong city like Yecheng.

The reason why the Han side had so many casualties was naturally because of the suppression of the Yellow Turban Army Jinglan and Catapult troops.Although Lu Zhi also thought about letting the cavalry sneak attack and destroy the siege equipment of the Yellow Turban Army, Chi You didn't give Lu Zhi the slightest chance.

In the next four days, the big man also suffered nearly [-] casualties, while the Yellow Turban casualties dropped to [-], and the casualty ratio between the two sides was pulled back again.This is because the few catapults on the Han side were all lost.However, with the advantage of being condescending, the big man also replaced more than half of the yellow turban's catapults.

In the next ten days, with the help of Xue Rengui, Lu Zhi finally stabilized the situation, and gradually achieved a casualty ratio of more than one to three and close to one to four.And after Xue Rengui raided the catapult of the Yellow Turban Army, he even had a casualty ratio of more than one to four.

In the more than 20 days since the start of the war, the loss of the Han side at the East Gate alone exceeded [-], and the loss of the Yellow Turban as the siege side was close to [-].

It can be said that Zhang Jiao has lost as much as one third of the 20 elites trained in Jizhou.

Even if the east gate is like this, the other few natural casualties are also quite a lot.Since the yellow scarves at the other three gates were all ordinary soldiers, and there was no such famous general as Chiyou to lead them, they naturally suffered heavy losses.The Han army had a casualty ratio of almost one to five in these three gates.
