I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 186
"Little general, take orders!" Everyone received the general's order one after another, all rubbing their hands together, waiting for Yecheng to show their skills tomorrow, and thus win a battle.

"Remember, Yan Liang is here for me. I heard that this man is a master of swordsmanship and has reached the pinnacle. Hebei is invincible in the world. I want to meet this Hebei swordsman to see whose sword is the best." Guan Yu's fighting spirit was high. , burning up.

That night, Yan Liang really didn't have the guts to go out of the city to make a surprise attack. After all, his own troops were limited, and following Ju Shou's suggestion to stick to it first, Yan Liang also took it seriously and did not attack rashly.

On the other hand, Jushou also suggested that soldiers and horses from Zhao Kingdom, Qinghe Kingdom, Pingyuan County and other counties around Wei County should be dispatched to Yecheng to join forces to strengthen their strength and stick to Jiye City.

Some of them gathered in Yecheng to defend Li Shimin, and the other part was transferred to northern Jizhou to defend Gongsun Zan in Hebei. Jushou felt that it was very likely that Gongsun Zan had been persuaded by Li Shimin to fight back.

Yan Liang felt that Ju Shou's judgment was very favorable, so he naturally accepted it completely.

It should be said that Jushou's suggestion was very wise for Yan Liang. As long as Yecheng is defended, when Yuan Shao's army returns to help, it is bound to be able to pinch back and forth and defeat Guan Yu, so Jizhou has no worries.

Guan Yu dared to mobilize such a force to attack Jizhou, so it was natural for Bingzhou to have no worries, and it was natural to push Gongsun Zan to turn against him.

What Yan Liang didn't know was that Ju Shou seemed to be helping Yan Liang, but he was actually weakening the strength of the above counties, creating opportunities for Guan Yu to wipe out the enemy, and thus taking down the other counties without bloodshed.

In addition, it was also to slow down the speed of Gongsun Zan's attack on Jizhou.

…………

The next day, when the sun rose from the east, Guan Yu's army was dispatched in full force, according to yesterday's deployment, surrounded the three missing one, and Ximen, who was missing one, was actually hiding in an ambush.Outside the west gate Zhang He led the elite Leopard Army cavalry and hid five miles outside the west gate, waiting for news from the city to raid into the city at any time.

The army that besieged the North Gate and the East Gate quickly moved to the predetermined position under the leadership of the general in the army, each leading [-] troops. Since they are acting, they have to do a full set, and the other three groups have to do it with real swords and guns. It is to attract the attention of the enemy and create better opportunities for the Ximen raid.

"Ho Ho Ho..." Nearly [-] troops marched sonorously, accompanied by majestic shouts, and marched toward Yecheng mightily. The battalion of horns was long and melodious, and reached a wonderful resonance with the hearts of the people. It is exciting and the fighting spirit is high.

Guan Yu's commander-in-chief stands at the south gate, and he has nearly [-] troops under his command, but there are tens of thousands of elite dragon cavalry in the army.

These tens of thousands of fine cavalry were naturally used to raid the west gate. The distance between the west gate and the east gate was only a few miles.

At this time, the rising sun happened to hit Guan Yu's armor, and the golden light shone instantly, and the golden light radiated from all over his body, making him unparalleled in domineering.

Feeling the warm rising sun, Guan Yu's mood relaxed, and his heart became calmer and calmer, as if today's battle was just an ordinary contest, and there was nothing to be nervous about.

Guan Yu raised his long knife, pointed at Jiutian obliquely, and shouted with his strong voice:

"Army, attack, kill."

The torrential roar caused the mountains to collapse and the ground to crack, the sky and the earth to change color, and thousands of troops and horses were agitated by it.

Immediately, the drums of the Chinese army camp beat.

"Boom boom boom..." The dense and majestic drumbeat resounded through the earth, and soon passed to the other attacking armies in Yecheng.

The three armies received the order at the same time and immediately began to attack the city!
At this time, Yan Liang was also guarding the south gate, confronting the enemy commander.He mobilized almost all of his limited troops to the north gate, east gate and south gate. The troops left behind at the west gate were scarce, less than a thousand, but the captain he sent to guard the city was Zhang Xiu, whom he had always trusted.

Of course, in order to avoid an unpredictable crisis, Yan Liang still has a [-] Yan family army that has not yet been mobilized, so that they can act as a mobile force.

"Ho Ho Ho...", under the cover of a dense mobile formation composed of thousands of shield soldiers, the crossbowmen kept approaching the city wall despite the dense arrow rain on the top of the city.

"Xuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of whoosh, slapping on the shield, converging into a crisp symphony.

It's just that the secrets were sparse, and some arrows were shot into the shield formation along the gap, causing some casualties to the siege army.

Under the cover of the shield soldiers, five thousand crossbowmen also arrived at the shooting position, and immediately began to fight back with the enemy at the top of the city.

"咻咻咻..." The dense rain of arrows on both sides whistled, intertwined in the sky, and after intersecting, the speed was extremely fast, like a meteor sliding down, bringing a little dust from the starting point.

The two sides came and went, arrows flew, and although they hurt each other, the attack of the crossbowmen on the top of the city was also contained.

The same situation was also happening in the other two-sided attacking armies. With the superiority in strength, the Bingzhou army completely entangled the damage of the arrows at the top of the city, and sent a wave of firepower to suppress the enemy.

The purpose is naturally to cover the soldiers who are about to attack the city and avoid too much damage.

Not long after, dozens of siege teams appeared among the several siege troops, rushing towards the city wall carrying ladders.

They were all dead soldiers, one head held up the shield to resist the incoming arrow rain, and the other carried the ladder, quickly charged in the arrow rain, and killed towards the city wall without hesitation.

Thanks to our own suppression of firepower, fewer and fewer arrows hit the siege soldiers on the top of the city, and they approached the city wall very smoothly. On the city wall.

The soldiers under the city held their shields high against the rolling wood and thunder stones on the top of the city, and the sharp arrows rained desperately towards the top of the city.

To say that Yan Liang is indeed a good general, the defense of the city is arranged in a tight manner, with rolling wood, thunderstones, hot oil and other defensive items on the top of the city.

Soon the Bingzhou Army's offensive was contained, and some casualties were caused for a while, but it did succeed in attracting the enemy's attention.

Sanmen's attack continued, and the huge siege army put tremendous pressure on Yan Liang's defense.

At this moment, the cavalry who had been charging suddenly appeared on the west side of Yecheng, and seemed to be heading straight for the west gate. Thousands of troops and horses galloped forward, stirring up waves of dust.

"General, look quickly, what is that?" the guard on the top of the city shouted in horror.

Yan Liang, who had been observing the battle situation, also noticed the sudden appearance of the cavalry. Just when he was very puzzled, a shock came to his mind, and a few words "there are traitors" flashed out.

For a moment, Yan Liangru was struck by lightning and trembled uncontrollably, and soon he regained his composure.

He knew that he had to act now, otherwise it would be too late, so he immediately led the last elite under his command to kill towards the west city, trying to make a final rescue.
