Chapter 328 Attacking the Giant Deer
"I heard that several princes, including the King of Wei and King Qi, participated in the coalition to carve up the Han Kingdom. The coalition was said to be 50 strong. The leaders were King Wei Jiu of Wei and King Tian Zhan of Qi!"

"The king of Han is now at war with Qin. Aren't these princes afraid of being criticized by the world?"

"Because Han seems to be the overlord of one side and seriously threatens the safety of the princes of Hebei. How can we allow others to sleep soundly on the couch lying on its side?"

"We'd better escape from Xia City or Langya City as soon as possible."

"There is no place where there is no war, so where can we escape to? Besides, my house is still in Xia City, but it cost me 200 taels of silver!"

There are rumors in the towns of Julu City that 50 allied troops are attacking the Han Dynasty.

Gongsun Zan and Ban Chao, who were stationed in Yuyang County, received the order and handed over the garrison of Yuyang County to Yu Jin.Immediately led eight thousand cavalry southward.

Xun Xi's intention is already obvious. She is ready to abandon all villages and towns except important cities, and even abandon the eastern part of Jizhou. She will shrink the defensive scope and defend with limited troops until she waits for Liu Hua to return.

The martial arts cavalry sent by Peng Yue were very fast and fully prepared. They wanted to attack Julu City by force. Taking advantage of the fact that Liu Hua's elite divisions and top generals, whom Peng Yue was afraid of, were fighting the Qin army at Mengjinguan, they had no time to return.

Peng Yue's army of more than [-] infantrymen will have enough time to besiege Julu City. Whether it is a strong attack, flooding, or siege, it all depends on the situation.

Peng Yue could already see the outline of Julu City, and Julu was at his fingertips: "Attack directly. If you can't capture it, wait until the [-] troops of King Qi and King Wei arrive, and then join forces to attack Julu again. We can't lose too much by attacking Julu, otherwise It will be in vain to benefit other princes."

Peng Yue believed that Liu Hua must bring all the elites of Han to deal with the Qin army. What he didn't know was that Liu Hua still had backup forces in Julu, and only Jing could exert the strongest fighting power near the Jingling Palace. Spirit Guard.

"Princess, Peng Yue's army has arrived!"

The defenders of the city wall spotted the flag of Peng Yue's army appearing on the horizon.First there was a black line, and then there was the Qi army all over the mountains and plains. Hundreds of war horses carrying supplies appeared within the sight of Julu City. 5 people is quite large, enough to cover the entire sight.

At present, the 5 defenders of Julu City have to block the opponent's [-] troops, so they have nothing to fear, but the opponent still has [-] reinforcements behind them, as well as [-] reinforcements from Li Mi and other thieves!
Peng Yue's army arrived at the city and began to prepare siege equipment on a large scale, preparing for both a strong attack and a long-term siege.

Xun Xi has ordered the city to be closed and under martial law, with soldiers patrolling the streets.

Rows of archers came to the city wall, and sword carts were prepared at the city gate. If the opponent tried to break through the city, what was waiting for them was the sharp sword cart, which would turn them into hedgehogs.

With Zhang Ning as the commander-in-chief, his subordinates Cao Hong, Zhang He and other famous generals from the Han Dynasty were well-dressed and sharp, and arranged for soldiers to patrol in turns.

A large number of stones and yaksha stones were transported to the city wall.

Dense arrow rain obscured the sky, the archers behind the female wall were suppressed, and the city gate tower was filled with arrows. Peng Yue, the general of King Qi, had already spent more than 30 arrows below Julu City, and the attack was still unsuccessful after half a month. .Peng Yue lost 7000 troops and was unable to break the city.

During this period, Zhang Ning of Julu City trained [-] single talented soldiers from the field camp to make up for the losses and at the same time strengthen the city defense.

Julu guard Zhang Ning took turns to sit on the city wall, using double bows, crossbows and various defensive equipment to cause a lot of damage to Peng Yue's army.

Peng Yue began to lose patience.

Julu is one of the great cities in the world. It once defended Huangfu Song's more than [-] Qin troops for several months. He and Tian Zhan and Wei Jiu joined forces with [-] troops and stormed for half a month, but Julu City did not move at all.

King Tian Zhan of Qi had now learned that the Han army had captured Mengjinguan and was famous all over the world, so he came to urge Peng Yue to continue the attack on Julu.

"Huo Qubing, the son of King Liu Hua of Han, captured Mengjing Pass and defeated the famous Qin general Shi Long live. If he leads his army back, we will definitely be defeated." "He already has the idea of ​​​​returning to the army, General Peng Yue, in half a month, we need to Capture Julu within half a month."

Tian Zhan and Wei Jiu urged Peng Yue to capture Julu as soon as possible.

At any rate, Peng Yue was also a dragon general, possessing legion talent to add bonuses to the legion. Therefore, Qi King Tian Zhan, who lacked famous generals but valued his family background, worshiped Peng Yue as the commander-in-chief.

But Peng Yue's ability is not strong enough to capture Julu.

The only way to break the city as quickly as possible is to use human lives to pile up and attack by force at all costs.

"Seven thousand of our army of one hundred thousand have died in the siege of the city. Do we need half of them to die before we can capture a giant deer?"

Peng Yue thought of the astonishing loss ratio. According to this siege loss ratio, if the entire Jizhou was captured, at least 20 troops would die.

"Julu is the residence of the Han King in Jizhou. The King of Han will definitely send his most capable subordinates to guard Julu. If Julu is captured, other cities will be defeated, so we don't have to worry about the death of 4 or [-] people. We will just recruit them after they die. This group The death of soldiers can also alleviate the pressure on food."

Out of fear of the King of Han, Tian Zhan believed that even if half of his troops were killed or wounded, it would still be worth it.

"Pay half the price..."

Peng Yue thought that he had killed nearly [-] to [-] soldiers in the battle to capture Hulao Pass among the allied forces of the princes. Tian Zhan had managed to supplement his troops. Now, in order to capture Jizhou, it was acceptable to lose [-] to [-] soldiers.

"Li Mi of Wagang Village leads [-] troops and will arrive in three days!"

When Peng Yue was feeling distressed about the loss of his troops, Li Mi from Wagang Village was finally about to arrive at Julu. Peng Yue breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the strength of Li Mi's five tigers was not inferior to his own. With their help, it would be easy to capture Julu.

The number of troops besieging Julu increased from 14 to [-]!

After having enough troops, Peng Yue attacked Julu again!
"Princess, Peng Yue is making a comeback!"

The defenders of Julu immediately went to the city wall to support them. Enemies six or seven times the size of the defenders came from all directions!

During this period, Peng Yue had already prepared ramming cars, carriages and a large number of ladders, preparing to capture the giant deer in one fell swoop.

Zhang Ning put on his armor and said to Xun Xi, Sang Hongyang and other civil servants: "Leave the war to me. I will kill them all in one go."

The coalition forces were afraid that Liu Hua would lead the main force of the Han Dynasty back, so they attacked Julu day and night, causing panic in the city.

"Although the defensive materials we prepared caused Peng Yue a lot of casualties, even if Peng Yue continues to attack for three months, the defensive materials will still be sufficient... Even if Peng Yue increases the intensity of the siege, the consumption of defensive materials may increase. .As for the food to defend the city, it’s not a problem yet.”

Sang Hongyang looked through the account books and found that the supplies and food for the city defense were quite sufficient. Almost all the inventory in the arsenal in Julu City had been taken out for use. There were millions of arrows that Xun Xi accumulated daily.

"I have ordered each town in advance to select soldiers from the field camps. We have to hold on for a while longer. The number of Jizhou troops is not large enough..." Xun Xi had a backup plan, "Pay attention to all the traders in the city. The strongest ones Castles are often breached from within, and I don’t want to see a rebellion in the city leading to the fall of Julu.”
